Xie Mingzhe was offered an olive branch. To accept it or not?
He was excited and surprised. Legend Nie's invitation to join the Adjudication Club represented that he was indeed gifted at creating cards, otherwise Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan, two professional players, wouldn't have come to see him in person or made him an offer of 300,000 crystal coins for his [Wu Song]'s copyright.
However, Xie Mingzhe was not an eighteen-year-old boy having a simple mind. Even if he was offered preferential treatment, he wouldn't accept it without consideration.
Because of his two memories, he could remain calm when he was confronted with big events.
Legend Lan's words made him feel that he was a complete fool in the past, who went to sell his cards in the black market because he didn't know the market when he first entered the game. At present, people who knew the market offered him 300,000 for [Wu Song]'s copyright, only aiming at the [White Tiger].
What about [Lin Daiyu]? It was directed against the whole flower and plant cards.
Even though Legend Nie offered him 20,000 crystal coins a month to be a card designer in the Adjudication Club and promised to give him a high commission if he created powerful cards, which already made the poor boy excited, Xie Mingzhe remained calm, saying with a smile, "I can sell the copyright to you, but I need some time to consider being a designer in your club."
Can Yang, the vice president, said unhappily, "Uncle Chubby, Legend Nie invites you personally because he appreciates your talent. Our Adjudication Club is one of the best clubs in the Star Card League. Many designers have failed to get into our club, even if they tried their best."
Being in a good mood, Xie Mingzhe said with a smile, "I know the Adjudication Club is influential, but this offer is so important that I can't answer you hastily. I have to consider it carefully and consult with my family on it." Xie Mingzhe drew up an excuse, hoping to gain more time.
Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan looked at each other.
Shan Lan said softly, "Uncle Chubby, we cordially invite you to join our club. The copyright price we offered is much higher than the market price, you can investigate it if you don't believe it. We will offer you a pleasant environment, good treatment, tasty meals and an apartment. In our club, all you need to do is focus on studying cards."
Legend Lan's advertis.e.m.e.nt was tempting, but Xie Mingzhe calmed down, saying, "Thank you, Legend Lan. I'll consider it and reply to you as soon as possible."
Staring at the smiling Uncle Chubby, Can Yang thought that he did not know how to appreciate their favor.
Huan Yue, the president, was much calmer, saying, "Uncle Chubby, let's add each other in the game, then you can follow Can Yang to go through the card transfer formality. Our territory will always be opened to you. You can come to us or send a private message to Can Yang and me as soon as you make your decision."
"OK." Xie Mingzhe accepted the friend requests of the president and the vice president, saying to Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan, "See you, two legends."
Xie Mingzhe followed Can Yang and left the office.
Huan Yue didn't come over until they were out of sight, saying, "Legend Nie, Uncle Chubby increased the instant death chance of [Wu Song] in such a short time, it seems that he has much greater potential."
Nie Yuandao nodded, whispering, “He is indeed a good seedling. We must invite him to join our club as soon as possible. I will go offline first. Keep me informed if there is any news.”
Shan Lan said, “I also have to go. Goodbye, President.”
After seeing them off, Huan Yue immediately summoned several club managers to continue searching for other cards made by Uncle Chubby in the black market, inch by inch. At the same time, he sent voice notes to Uncle Chubby, listing various benefits of joining the Adjudication Club in detail, which was even more considerate than the official advertising.
Xie Mingzhe followed Can Yang to the Service Center on the planet Aquarius.
The Service Center building had dozens of floors. Players having problems could get help here. Can Yang took him to the Minister of Card Copyright on the 16th floor. Xie Mingzhe connected to the database to verify his authorship, and then transferred the copyright of [Wu Song] to the Adjudication Club.
After the transfer of the copyright, he could no longer make [Wu Song] cards, but it didn't matter. [Wu Song]'s skill, only against tiger cards, had a limited application. He could still make [Lin Daiyu], which was against a wide range of flower cards.
Carrying a huge sum of 3 million game currency in his pocket, Xie Mingzhe rushed to the Star Card Bank next to the Service Center.
In front of the Star Card Bank counter, Xie Mingzhe politely asked the smart teller, “h.e.l.lo, could you please tell me how to convert game currency into live currency?”
The smart teller replied, “Today's exchange rate is 10:1. You can set the price of the game currency you want to sell, put it in the gold coin purchase window, and bind your bank card information. If a player purchases your game currency, your bank account will automatically receive the transferred money.”
Was this the game's built-in currency trading platform?
Xie Mingzhe quickly entered his information – he planned to divide 3 million into 10 parts. In this way, his game currency would be sold out more easily.
When he walked out of Star Card Bank, Xie Mingzhe, in a good mood, felt that the sky was bluer than before.
At this time, he heard the prompt sound, “A voice note from Huan Yue.”
Xie Mingzhe pressed the b.u.t.ton, listening to Huan Yue telling him a lot of benefits of joining the Adjudication Club, which apparently showed that he wanted to persuade Xie Mingzhe to join the club. But Xie Mingzhe didn't want to make a decision so quickly, so he replied politely, “Thank you, President Huan Yue. I will think about it seriously.”
Then he heard the prompt sound again, “Dear player, you have been online for more than five hours. Holographic game consumes players' Inner Spirit, so being online for a long time is not good for your health. Please arrange your game time properly and go offline to rest as soon as possible.”
The holographic game was connected to a player's five senses, so the player would feel really tired. He went online at 6:30p.m after having lunch, and it was almost midnight now. Xie Mingzhe noticed that his headache was getting worse and worse, so he simply went offline immediately.
As Xie Mingzhe rubbed his painful temple, a message popped up on his mobile phone, “Respected user, you received a transfer of 30000 crystal coins from Star Card Bank. Current account balance 30200 crystal coins.” “Respected user, you received a transfer of 30000 crystal coins from Star Card Bank ……” “Respected user……”
Ten consecutive messages from the bank!
The final balance became 300,200 crystal coins.
