Free Web NovelChapter 373: Chapter 139: B-level Scene Card [Golden Demon City]
Following the staff’s hint, the blue-skinned person was left at the entrance, and Ree went in alone.
"So extravagant?"
As he walked into the reception room, Ree was first attracted by the interior decorations.
The size and scale of this place could be considered a small palace.
The palace as a whole shimmered with a golden glow, resplendent with gold and jade.
Exquisite gold patterns and bas-reliefs were embedded on the walls, with detailed patterns showcasing the superb skills of the artists.
A large crystal chandelier hung from the center of the ceiling, emitting dazzling brilliance.
Soft golden carpets were laid on the floor, decorated with various embroidered patterns, as if the entire floor was woven from gold.
Although the resources of the Cube Card Metaverse were extremely rich, as good as inexhaustible and unending.
But he believed that such a level of decoration must have cost a lot of money.
And bear in mind, this is just a reception room.
"Coach Ree Shil, welcome."
And the master of this garish decor was now sitting on a throne made of pure gold and studded with gems, welcoming him.
Henry Thompson even wore a cloak and a crown.
"Don’t mind it; it’s just a personal hobby."
"I would not dress like this outside the card club."
"I’ll call you Stanley if you don’t mind."
Henry Thompson stood up under Ree’s gaze.
Everyone who came to his card club for the first time had this reaction, and he was already used to it.
"So ... Old Thompson?"
Ree thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Hahaha! I like this nickname!"
Henry Thompson seemed not to mind.
"How would you like to come work at my card club?"
He then pointed to the surrounding environment and confidently said, "As you can see from this scale, if you switch over, you will definitely not be mistreated in terms of salary."
Truth be told, he didn’t have any grudges with Ree.
Wasn’t it just being slapped in the face while commentating? He, who believed in management, would never take such things to heart.
On the contrary, he had witnessed Ree’s journey as a card player up close.
So he appreciated this young lad a lot and thought he would certainly become a big hand one day.
Plus, he had good looks.
If he could bring him to his card club, he might even become a living signboard.
"I’ll pass, thank you for Director Thompson’s kindness."
"Don’t be hasty to refuse, how much does the Showcase Club pay you? I’ll offer 3 times more."
"Uh, it’s not about the money."
"5 times!"
"Really, it’s not about the money."
"Alright, I understand; the Showcase Club has invested a lot in training you, right? Don’t worry, as long as you come, I will compensate them for this aspect, absolutely not let Show Director suffer losses."
"Actually... that’s not the main reason either."
"Then what is it?"
"Your card club is too far from my house."
"???" fгeewebnovёl.com
This reason left Henry Thompson speechless in silence.
Since the reason was so outrageous, it could only mean one thing.
It’s not because he’s really so outrageous, but in fact, he obviously meant to refuse.
"No matter, you can take your time to consider, the door to our card club is always open to you."
Eventually, Henry Thompson was a little embarrassed and waved his hand.
"But, young man, you have real guts to challenge my hall."
Immediately, he returned to the subject at hand.
Before, those who came to challenge him were players with low scores and poor records, trying to gamble.
Moreover, winning against him would mean gaining much more than just 3 points.
Generally, at their level of curator, they rarely played cards with people outside their circle.
That is to say, these players wouldn’t have had the chance to sit at the card table with him even if they wanted to.
If they could win once, it would greatly increase their fame in the industry and give them face.
"I thought, if I won against Director Thompson, no one else would dare to challenge me again."
"Hahaha, you young people sure are bold. Do you know how your curator should address me in terms of seniority?"
"Mister Wang?"
"...So that’s how she refers to me behind my back."
"I let it slip, sorry. Let’s get back to the card game."
Ree quickly returned to the subject, afraid that if he kept talking, Henry Thompson would pick up a weapon and go find Show Director.
"Alright, let’s do it."
With a wave of his big hand, Henry Thompson released the card table.
However, unlike ordinary blue light card tables, his card table was golden.
Although made from materialized light energy, it mimicked the texture of solid gold.
"How did you get such a personalized card table?"
Ree had seen several different card tables in actual combat and had long wanted to ask this question.
"You can draw it or rub it out; mine was rubbed out."
Henry Thompson said with a sense of pride.
"So... does it have any special functions?"
"It does."
"Oh?"
"It makes me feel good by just looking at it."
"..."
As Henry Thompson started to deal the cards, Ree found that even his card faces were golden.
"Card faces are rewards given by the Instance upon completing certain missions or achieving high enough completion rates."
Without waiting for him to ask, Henry Thompson volunteered the information.
"If this were a pay-to-win game, I guess just the various card face skins could sell for quite a bit of money."
Ree nodded.
This golden card table and golden card face combo made even him admit it looked pretty cool.
If only he could get his hands on something interesting like that.
