Chapter 126 Card Lottery
Yu Qi listened for a while and finally confirmed that another batch of monsters would be sent over in a few days to replace the players' identities.
It turns out that the previous encounter with the ghost monster was just the beginning, and the sea serpent neighbor we saw earlier was not the end either.
In this monster world, some monsters possess family-inherited abilities, but not all monsters inherit these family abilities. Therefore, some large families send their descendants into the game.
Experience life and accumulate resources while killing other players and copying their skills.
It was only at this moment that Yu Qi realized that some of the resources found in the resource chests, such as various Energy Hearts, weapon enhancement cards, special ores, and special cards, were extremely valuable...
Sending their offspring over from these monster families is also a way to seize resources.
This is not only a struggle between monsters and players, but also a struggle between various families in the monster world.
The group of people in front of us who brought their children to buy skill copy cards belong to a mid-level family in the monster world.
These families, lacking both substantial assets and the ability to pass on their wealth, naturally seek to take advantage of the chaos and enter the game together to acquire resources or copy skills.
After all, even powerful monster families need followers.
These ordinary monsters are the best pieces.
Of course, Yu Qi guessed these things herself through the conversations of various monsters, and she felt they were pretty close to the truth.
Thinking of this, she sighed again. It turned out that the biggest crisis was not the various natural disasters or the monsters encountered in the water and on the road, but the "werewolfs" hidden among the players.
I wonder if these monsters that were sent here will be able to use the chat lobby.
If those people even have watches, they'll definitely be able to get more information through the chat lobby. At that time, those who perform well in the region will surely be targeted by those monsters one by one.
Thinking of this, Yu Qi's expression grew increasingly heavy.
She'll definitely be the first one targeted!
Because all players in region 2333 know that she is always number one in all leaderboards and can always get more information as soon as possible.
If she were a monster from the monster world, a newcomer, she would immediately spot the fattest sheep and secretly observe its abilities.
If you can take care of it yourself, then keep quiet and make a fortune.
If they can't eat it all by themselves, they'll try to find other monsters to help them.
Her situation is about to become dangerous!
Yu Qi glanced at the cards and gestured for the red fox next to him to walk over.
The staff at the card shop had already seen us and wanted to come over to greet us immediately.
However, the red fox stopped them.
Now, seeing the Red Fox on the move again, they all greeted it with smiles on their faces.
The owner of the card shop is a hedgehog, whose body is covered with all sorts of cards, almost completely obscuring itself.
Upon hearing that a gold card customer had arrived, it immediately retracted its sharp thorns and rushed out of the lounge with small, quick steps.
"Where are you? Where are you? Where are our valued Gold Card customers?"
A pair of tiny, bean-sized eyes looked around for a long time before finally landing on Yu Qi, her face full of obsequiousness: "A distinguished gold card customer has come over, and these guys didn't even call me first. They really have no sense of propriety!"
"Distinguished guest, what kind of card are you looking to buy this time? We have five gold replica cards and five gold vehicle imitation cards in stock, which will surely satisfy you!"
Upon hearing the hedgehog shopkeeper's introduction, Yu Qi learned that there was actually a vehicle imitation card that could transform into an identical vehicle based on the player's vehicle shape.
After using the golden vehicle imitation card, you can even imitate vehicles up to level nine!
Yu Qi's heart skipped a beat. She wondered if a monster used this card on her, would it copy her armored vehicle exactly?
After reading the description of the card, Yu Qi felt even more threatened.
These cards weren't as magical as she'd imagined, but they were close enough, and they could change constantly.
If you initially imitate a level 6 vehicle, and later need an even higher-level vehicle, you can continue to transform into the highest-level vehicle!
"Dear customer, you must also want to experience life in the game. How can a survival game like this be without special cards?" The hedgehog shop owner rubbed his hands together.
"Look, this is a blocking card. It can block the communication between players and vehicles. Once used, they will no longer be able to start their vehicles and cause you harm..."
"This is a precise location card. If you want to hunt down a player, you can pinpoint their location and be teleported to that highway by the card! You won't have half an hour to deal with that player!"
"And there's another one, our very valuable flagship card, the Skill Detection Card! By using this card, you can detect the number and approximate information of the skills that players possess!"
"..."
The card shop owner talked for a long time, and Yu Qi became more and more alarmed as she listened.
These cards were specifically designed for players!
On one hand, she has prior knowledge of the information and also possesses a life-saving rollback skill. On the other hand, she is unlikely to fare well against those players' various strange cards!
After glancing at the cards, Yu Qi finally decided to buy most of the player-specific cards in the card shop.
This means she will have to spend most of her crystal coins.
However, Yu Qi felt that it was all worth it.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Only by understanding the specific functions of these cards can she have some self-protection against those monsters!
"Please wrap these up for me, but not too many, just one of each. These are your family's cards, are they any good?"
"If they work well, I'll send someone over to stock up on them," Yu Qi said casually, pointing to the cards.
The card shop owner behind them was overjoyed and quickly asked the staff next to him to pack the items.
"As expected, our valued gold card customers are always very generous, so our store can't be shy either. All cards purchased today will be offered at a 25% discount!"
"Customer, the cards you've chosen are worth a total of 200,000 crystal coins, but you only need to pay 150,000 crystal coins!"
"Here are some purple and gold cards for you, would you like to take a look? I can't guarantee the quality of these cards, but they're definitely the best from Shopping Paradise!"
The shop owner's eyes lit up again as he made his recommendation.
Yu Qi took the packaged box and remained unmoved.
"I already have these cards, there's no need to buy so many more. I'll come back to look at them when I've used them up."
In reality, her wallet was already nearly empty, so how could she possibly afford to buy special cards worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars each?
"Customer, it's alright. You've already spent 150,000 crystal coins in our store, so you can try your luck in the lucky draw first. You might even win a gold card!"
The shop owner then took small, quick steps to the raffle box next to him.
Yu Qi glanced at it and found that the event to draw gold cards only lasted for three days.
Many of the monsters who come here to buy cards are attracted by this event, and most of them are queuing up for the lottery.
She spent 150,000 crystal coins, which allows her to participate in 15 prize draws.
One draw costs 10,000 crystal coins – no wonder this shop is a shopping paradise!
Yu Qi nodded slightly, and the shop owner quickly carried a new turntable over and placed it in front of her.
"Honored guest, please go ahead!"
Curious, Yu Qi turned the dial and the pointer soon stopped in a purple area.
"Congratulations! You've drawn a purple shielding card!" The shop owner jumped up with joy, even more excited than she was.
Yu Qi remembered a purple card that cost at least 100,000 crystal coins. It seems she's having good luck!
She drew cards a few more times, and this time she drew ordinary blue cards.
The shop owner next to him clapped, "You're so lucky, esteemed customer! You didn't draw a blank area!"
Yu Qi glanced at the extremely small blank area.
I thought to myself, with such a big wheel, even if she's clumsy, she couldn't possibly draw such a small position, right?
Wait a minute, isn't her winning probability a bit too high? She just randomly drew a card and got another purple card!
Yu Qi glanced discreetly at the prize wheel for the other customers and noticed that the white blank area occupied almost the entire space of the wheel. The purple area was extremely small, and the gold line was almost invisible.
Yu Qi: "..."
Wow, she said she was so lucky this time because the shop owner secretly gave her a cheat code!
Is this the treatment for gold card customers?
On her last draw, Yu Qi drew a gold card. The shopkeeper, instead of changing his expression, smiled again.
"Sir, you're in great luck!"
"Just tell us which gold card you'd like to redeem!"
Yu Qi, on the contrary, fell into deep thought.
How can someone remain unfazed when given a special card worth millions? Is the profit margin of the card shop simply too high, or do the gold card customers have other secrets?
