Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 516: Chapter 186: Sword Card Group Scene Card_3

Just at the intersection of a Right Heart Marketplace in the Balance District and a Left Heart City Cluster in the Wisdom District.

After driving at high speed for about ten minutes, the floating car entered the city center.

In the heart of BangBang City, a massive control center stood solidly, as majestic as a palace.

According to Secretary Brown’s introduction, this control center is the brain of BangBang City, communicating with other areas and robots through a complex network.

As they passed by this control center, they saw a gigantic statue in the entrance square.

The statue was also in a mechanical style, its angular white armor oozing with a high-tech vibe.

Succinctly put, it looked like a really cool and handsome Mech Knight.

However, in the gaps of the armor, one could see some patterns similar to muscles on the statue.

"Director Brown, this statue is ...?"

Blue Skin asked an appropriate question.

Just when he uttered these words, Ree Shil immediately showed dissatisfaction.

Ok, Blue Skin! You call me Coach Shil, while you call Old Mr. Brown Director Brown?

"This statue eh."

Unlike in the Showcase Club, Secretary Brown didn’t correct him, and instead smiled pleasantly and nodded.

"Legend, just a legend."

"It is said to be the first founder of BangBang City, the Clanging Knight."

"And it is also said that not long after the establishment of BangBang city, he ascended."

"Ascended to become the God of Clanging."

He explained thus.

"God of Clanging? The name sounds pretty fishy."

Ree Shil sneered.

Eventually, the floating car stopped in front of a large hotel.

Everyone completed the check-in procedures and received their own room key cards, a blue light QR code printed on their wrists.

When checking out, you can have the QR code removed at the front desk.

When Ree Shil entered his room, he found that the décor inside wasn’t as high-tech as the streets outside and was more suited for human occupation.

As soon as he had finished unpacking, a message popped up in a group chat named "BangBang Squad" on his phone.

Some in the group wanted to visit local attractions, while others wanted to try the local mechanical-themed cuisine.

Slame and Andrew Hill, however, wanted to go shopping.

Ree Shil declined all these invitations outright. These people, none of them are real card players.

In fact, he had done his research before coming here, scouting out the locations of the Material Exclusive Stores.

And being a much bigger city than their own, BangBang City naturally had better specialty stores.

He even found out online that there were A-class material cards for sale here.

(Note: Material Cards do not have the concept of a gold edge, they only have ABCD classifications, so A-class Material Cards are equivalent to gilt-edged material cards.) freewёbnoνel.com

The good thing was that he now had money to spare.

So, during the free time today, he planned on browsing through the specialty stores.

Therefore, he left the hotel alone and grabbed a cab as per the directions on his phone.

Soon, Ree Shil arrived at the Cube Card Association of BangBang City.

Generally speaking, unless they are small independent stores, the more systematic and sizable specialty stores would usually set up shop near the Association.

After all, this is where the card players are most concentrated.

"Well, it really does live up to its reputation as a city of mechanical life."

"Just the mechanical material stores alone, there are 5 or 6 of them."

After checking the signs, Ree Shil walked towards one of them.

This one had the biggest scale and they had the most A-grade material cards available, based on his online search.

They had a total of 15 cards.

Yes, A-grade material cards are not as rare as you might think.

Because after all, this is just material.

There is a saying among the card players: Material is half a level down.

Meaning that in the eyes of the industry, A level material cards are considered half to one level lower than A level battle cards.

The value of them can be seen as the same as B or B+ level.

With material cards, you need luck to successfully create something good.

If you fail to do so, then it’s a complete loss.

For this reason, due to their exorbitant price, A-grade material cards are not as popular as B-grade material cards.

After all, when compared to its lower level counterparts, the success rate of A-class material cards is significantly lower.

Only when their theoretical knowledge is sufficient or when there is a typical formula for reference, would players consider creating an A-class material card.

Otherwise, it is purely gambling.

However, fortunately, Ree Shil doesn’t rely on luck.

He has a trick up his sleeve.

"Hello, welcome."

The robot clerk, in its distinct mechanical accent, welcomed Ree Shil.

"Hello, I would like to see these material cards."

Ree Shil got straight to the point, opened his mobile phone to show their online store, and pointed at the A-class material list.

This is a chain specialty store, the prices are all set by the headquarters, so there is no need to worry about foreign guests getting ripped off.

Moreover, as a pure human, he can’t really pose as a local in BangBang City. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The clerk’s light bulb eyes flickered, then he moved toward a certain counter.

Material cards from BangBang City are well-known, and often attract outsiders.

Usually, these non-locals would spend generously, given that they seldom have the chance to do so.

Also, judging by the other party’s attitude, they wanted to see the A-level material cards as soon as they came in.

So it knew that it might be closing a big deal today.

In a short while, the clerk came over with a stack of cards.

"Hmm? The amount seems to be off."

Once he touched the stack of cards, Ree Shil raised an eyebrow.

When he checked online yesterday, there were only 15, but now there were 17.

"We just got a new shipment early yesterday morning, so we haven’t had time to sync it with the online store yet, haha... hahahaha."

The mechanical sound of the clerk’s laughter was a bit off.

"I see."

Ree Shil nodded, preparing to examine the cards.

There’s no helping it, if he didn’t touch the material cards, he wouldn’t be able to preview them.

Since all these cards are locked, he wasn’t too worried about them getting stolen or taken away.

So, he laid out the 17 A-class material cards on the countertop in a row.

"Hmm..."

Looking at these A-class material cards, he started to ponder.
