Free Web NovelChapter 509: Chapter 184: The Bittersweet Gold Edge Card_2
In short, after getting this sum of money, Ree Shil’s personal wealth reached a new high of 50,000.
The main reason was that he had received 40,000 after selling the formula to Grace Spring last time, and after paying off the money he owed to Show Director, he still had about 30,000 left.
With today’s income, it became 50,000.
His card player level also came to Level 12, and before going to the next instance, he could start from the Zero Checkpoint in the "Balance-Way of balance".
Since he was above Level 10, he could get new small rewards.
Before, he didn’t play well and didn’t accumulate any funds for the First Checkpoint, making it more difficult to play in the later stages.
Also, the mission he received from the "Way of the Wind" was at the Zero Checkpoint of the "Way of Balance" as well.
For these three reasons, his next instance would not choose the "Way of the Wind" but rather the "Way of Balance".
After receiving the Cube coin reward, Ree Shil returned to the Showcase Club quickly, appearing in the Resting Room.
As Grace Spring had to catch the earliest plane, she didn’t stay around to wait for him and returned directly to Lan-Lan City.
Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man were immediately taken over for a shift as soon as they returned.
Andrew Hill and Slame decided to go shopping, especially Slame, who was very happy today and claimed that he would cover Andrew Hill’s expenses for the whole night.
Because this was his first time truly completing an instance, and he did it with everyone.
Also, Andrew Hill handed over all the material cards they brought back to Straw Man to pass on to Ree Shil.
After all, he knew that Ree Shil had a huge demand for them, so he let him choose first, and whatever he didn’t buy, Andrew Hill would consider selling himself.
Why didn’t he let Mossy Mushroom help with the transfer? Because he was afraid that once the cards got into this guy’s hands, they would all turn into Mushroom Card Sets.
Ree Shil looked through the material cards left behind by Andrew Hill, the highest grade of which was B level.
However, just like the last time in the Mythical Three Kingdoms, there weren’t any material cards worth his attention.
He kept them all for the time being and returned them to Andrew Hill later.
Due to his longer stay in the Pure White Space than others, it was already quite late.
He planned to rest for a while and order a midnight snack.
Then, after Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man got off work, they would all go home together.
Just as he finished placing his order, Secretary Brown came looking for him.
"You’re not off work yet?" Ree Shil asked, surprised.
"I’m just finishing up some paperwork, was planning to leave."
"I saw Mushroom Man at the front desk just now and heard you were back, so I decided to come over."
Clearly, Secretary Brown had something to say.
"I wasn’t at the Club recently, you know."
"Sorry, to be honest, I haven’t been at the Club much either, so I didn’t notice." Ree Shil responded.
"Ah ha ha, you young lad..."
Following that, Secretary Brown explained the purpose of her visit.
Apparently, inspired by the previous night’s exchange meeting, or rather because there was no need before, she went on a long journey to contact another Card Club with the intention of organizing an exchange meeting between the two clubs.
The location of that Card Club was quite far, even outside the Balance District.
The reason for choosing such a Card Club was that it had some history with the Showcase Club.
Also, by choosing a club not in the same Major District, they could avoid information leaks and such. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"So, you’re saying we’re going to take a trip soon?" Ree Shil asked, who had only gone as far as Lan-Lan Metropolis so far and hadn’t thought about leaving the Balance District.
"Yes, although the city competitions between the Major Districts can be held online in the future."
"But for better communication, we still decide to go there in person."
"This short exchange trip will only involve a few coaches, no more than 7 people in total," Secretary Brown said.
"Actually, it’s just because the Club doesn’t have the money to fund so many people to travel afar, right?" Ree Shil bluntly exposed the truth and asked further, "Which city specifically?"
Secretary Brown: "It’s in the Wisdom District adjacent to the Balance District. The city is not far from the boundary line."
Secretary Brown: "The so-called Mechanic’s Boom in BangBang City. Have you heard of it?"
Ree Shil: "I haven’t."
Secretary Brown: "Anyway, you prepare well for it. Since you’re out now, I’ll notify them right away."
Secretary Brown: "We’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Just the plane ride will take almost two days."
Secretary Brown: "We’ll be there for three or four days for the meeting, experience the local customs and practices, and then return."
Ree Shil: "But what about my Industry Selection Tournament here?"
Secretary Brown: "No problem. In the exchange meeting that night, you brought honor to our city, and my cousin already told the other curators about it."
Secretary Brown: "There will be no Hall Challenges while you’re away."
It’s evident that although the Card Clubs in the city usually don’t get along with each other, they’re pretty united when it comes to external matters.
"Alright, got it," Ree Shil nodded, signaling his understanding.
That meant he would go home and rest well tonight, as he still had one more day to prepare tomorrow.
As for his card draw this time, he still had a lot to think about.
After finishing his midnight snack and waiting for Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man to get off work, Ree Shil returned to the villa.
After washing up, he lay on his bed.
However, he couldn’t sleep well, tossing and turning.
It wasn’t that he was thinking about card-making, but rather, the tight recording schedule of "Frog Star Road" in recent days had formed a biological clock for him, and he usually wouldn’t sleep so early at this point.
