"So how did you end up here, Brother Qiyan? Didn't you get your invitation from Stasia?"
Inside the tavern, Zhao Lin sat beside Ye Qiyan.
She had stuffed the Calamity Moon Beast into a carrier specially designed to hold pets.
Though it had protested, it had quieted down for the time being.
Ye Qiyan leisurely sipped his fruit wine and answered casually when he heard Zhao Lin's question.
"More or less."
"Oh, right, Brother Qiyan, this is for you."
Zhao Lin pressed her lips together, took a card from a card pouch hanging at her waist, and placed it right in front of Ye Qiyan.
The moment she took it out, a tiny dinosaur jumped out of the card.
At the sight of Ye Qiyan, the little dinosaur immediately showed surprise and delight, along with embarrassment and a little fear.
[Game Card · Weapon Era]
This was the Game Card he had forcibly influenced through Ascension during his battle with Holmes Lane, Imperial Sequence's previous Game Card holder.
He had once considered searching for it himself.
But he was not particularly fond of Game Cards, so he had been in no hurry to go.
Later, Zhao Lin had found and obtained it.
After a long, winding journey, this card had appeared before Ye Qiyan once again.
He took the Card Sequence from Zhao Lin's hand.
What was a little surprising was this.
Though reluctant, Zhao Lin still let go, allowing the card to pass into Ye Qiyan's hand.
Ye Qiyan toyed with the Game Card, then glanced at the little dinosaur hiding behind Zhao Lin in considerable embarrassment, and laughed.
"Looks like you two get along well. You really are stupid. You finally managed to get one. Couldn't you just have kept its existence from me?"
