"You can change your appearance at will here." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Curator Phoenix suggested to him, "You can try it. You might find it fun."
"Really?"
Ree Shil thought for a moment, then shaped himself into Straw Man.
"Grass, you gotta say, it’s interesting."
"Don’t take the opportunity to curse, it’s just an appearance change, it doesn’t alter the way you speak."
"Ah haha..."
In the following days, to test if he could trigger the "Lord of Ten Thousand Spirits" mission, Ree Shil and Curator Phoenix set up another card table and gave it a try.
The answer was affirmative.
Then, after spending a few hours, he managed to snatch quite a few creature types from Curator Phoenix.
89/5000→323/5000
It had to be said, an old card player was truly an old hand; not to mention anything else, but just the quantity and variety of cards they had far exceeded his own.
After completing this task, the two logged off for dinner and then logged back on.
Following Curator Phoenix’s guidance, Ree Shil began to sign up for the event.
"Ace Manager? What kind of name is that?"
He expressed his dissent about the name of the competition. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Don’t mind these details."
Curator Phoenix said, tossing an application to Ree Shil.
Ree Shil thought it was some kind of team-up application, so he didn’t look too closely and clicked to confirm directly.
"Alright, just wait here for a moment, I’ll arrange the procedure for you.
It’ll be quick."
After leaving these words, Curator Phoenix’s figure flashed and disappeared from his Pure White Space.
...
"Ace Manager" was a new type of league event recently organized by the Seven Grand Pavilions in the past few months.
Participants in this event were referred to as managers.
They had to recruit and assemble their own teams of card players and then engage in PK with other managers.
Since it was a trial event, there were no substantial rewards.
The participants were not widespread either, mostly higher-ups from the seven major Card Clubs, like the curators from various local card establishments.
But consider that the Seven Grand Pavilions’ operations cover nearly every city in the original universe.
Just the number of curators for each city was already no small figure.
At this time, the manager’s Grand Hall was bustling with noise.
A bunch of oddly shaped, codenamed online managers were engaged in all kinds of grand discussions.
"Let me tell you, a few days ago, I finally persuaded the curator of the biggest private Card Club in our area to become my player, and you know what happened?"
"What happened?" xN
"Turns out after assessment, the guy was only a D+ Grade player! Sigh!"
"Tsk tsk, the proficiency of some Card Establishment Directors is just a façade."
"Indeed, whether a Card Club is thriving has more to do with its management. The curator’s proficiency is just a plaque."
"What are you complaining about? I dug up a B- Grade player yesterday, and she lost to a D+ Grade player in her first match!"
"Is your B- Grade too weak, or was that D+ Grade too powerful?"
"Some D level players are truly hidden dragons; even the assessment system can’t identify their true strength."
Just then, the center of the venue flashed with light.
Whirr!
A pig-headed figure codenamed Keke Su appeared.
"Everyone, I’ve dug up another newcomer, come take a look!"
Upon landing, Keke Su shouted loudly, attracting the attention of many people.
In "Ace Manager," there was a procedure every time a new player was recruited.
That was to register and assess them through the online system.
The technical support for the assessment was provided by the Association Headquarters.
As is known, the Association, backed by divine forces, has technologies that are far advanced.
Some of the technologies even bear traces of Divine Power.
This assessment system was one such example.
It could, under the premise of not disclosing to the public, access all the battle records of the player.
Then, by synthesizing factors such as the opponent of each card game, both sides’ card faces, the trend of the card game, and others, it would score the new player.
Thus, it might happen that someone with a big reputation might actually have poor historical card game performance, leading to a low score.
Alternatively, some people might have poor historical card game performance yet have new cards or a big hand in their deck that had never been played before, resulting in a disparity between strength and score.
All in all, however, the score given by the assessment system was quite objective and real, its fairness derived from the historical data of the players, which was indisputable.
So, for the managers, the assessment of new players was like drawing cards.
The ones drawing are full of anticipation, while those watching are just looking for a good show.
Now, hearing Keke Su say he had dug up a newcomer, naturally, the next step was to conduct an assessment.
With curiosity, everyone gathered around.
"Manager Ke, you’re adding new blood at quite a pace."
"Sigh, I’m so busy with the Card Club’s affairs, having just enough time to log in is already rare, let alone scouting for talent."
"From the look on Manager Ke’s face, he must have snagged a powerful newcomer, poor newbies this round."
Keke Su, the figure from Chasing Wind Pavilion in the Wind Chasing Region, might not hail from a well-known city, but he indeed had an eye for talent.
Since the launch of "Ace Manager," he’d been running around various places, keen on discovering and recruiting talent.
Those he set his sights on and managed to persuade to join typically had a B level or higher rating.
At that moment, Keke Su drew his hands in front of him, summoning a holographic projection screen.
On the screen, there was an elf with pointed ears, standing inside the Pure White Space, curiously looking around.
