Master of Trading Star Card Game

On the top floor of the hotel, inside the cafeteria.

Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan walked in one after the other, and Tang Muzhou immediately went up to meet him: "Long time no see, both of you. How could the reporters follow you?"

"Maybe because of the opening ceremony tonight, we were targeted by reporters as soon as we came out of the Judgment Club." Shan Lan smiled apologetically and said, "Master drove the car and changed the road to get rid of the paparazzi and asked everyone to wait like this." It's been a long time, I'm really sorry."

"Why are you polite, dinner isn't ready yet, come in quickly." Tang Muzhou greeted the two of them into the hall.

There were hundreds of people in the hall, Tang Muzhou's appeal in the alliance was evident.Seeing that people came almost at the same time, Tang Muzhou said loudly: "Thank you for your honor, I think everyone is hungry, let's eat first, you must eat to your heart's content today!"

"Thank you Tang God for the treat!" "Then we will not be polite!"

The hungry people immediately took their plates and began to choose food, and the restaurant suddenly became very lively.Compared with the official official dinner of the alliance, everyone prefers this kind of private gathering. After all, without the presence of the high-level leaders of the alliance, everyone can speak freely.

Tang Muzhou picked up the plate and was about to pick something to eat when he saw Xue Linxiang walk into the hall with a complicated expression.Her complexion seemed a little pale, Tang Muzhou stepped forward and asked with concern: "Sister Xue, your complexion is not very good, what happened?"

Xue Linxiang took a deep breath, as if hesitating whether to tell the other party.After a while, she made up her mind and said, "I just saw Chen Xiao."

Tang Muzhou narrowed his eyes suddenly, and lowered his voice: "Are you sure it's Chen Xiao?"

Xue Linxiang nodded: "Xiao Chen has changed a lot, but I can still recognize him. I greeted him, but he said that I recognized the wrong person..."

Tang Muzhou frowned slightly: "Where is he now?"

Xue Linxiang said: "They said they were going to eat at the restaurant on the sixteenth floor, do you want to find him?"

Tang Muzhou said calmly: "No need. Based on what I know about him, since I met you and know that there is a gathering of league players in the cafeteria today, so as not to bump into other acquaintances, he will definitely not stay in this hotel—I think , he has left."

Xue Linxiang was stunned, looking a little disappointed: "He pretended not to know me, and he probably didn't want to see you either..."

At this moment, Shen An ran over and said, "Master, God Nie and the others asked you to go over and chat."

Tang Muzhou patted Sister Xue's shoulder lightly as a sign of comfort, then turned and left with Shen An.

***

In the elevator, Chen Xiao really pressed down on the first floor, apparently not wanting to go to the sixteenth floor for dinner.He smiled and suggested as if nothing had happened: "I know there is a barbecue restaurant with a good environment nearby. Doesn't Xiaopang like meat? Why don't we go eat barbecue."

Xie Mingzhe knew that he was deliberately avoiding Xue Linxiang, so he immediately stepped down the steps for him: "No problem, we will come to this cafeteria later, let's eat barbecue today." Of course the others had no objection.

Under the leadership of Chen Xiao, everyone crossed the road and came to a barbecue restaurant opposite.

The environment of the store is really good and the decoration is very delicate.Chen Xiao asked the waiter for a private room. There are eight seats on the big round table, and there is a barbecue plate in front of each seat. It is intelligently heated automatically and will not produce smoke. The grilled meat is delicious. Even Pang Yu, who is quite picky about food, praised: "It's delicious! It's super delicious! Brother Chen, why haven't I heard you introduce such a good place before?"

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "I'm afraid you foodie will clamor to come every day after you find out."

Pang Yu coughed: "You really understand me!"

This is also the most high-end barbecue restaurant that Xie Mingzhe has ever been to. There is elegant light music playing in the store, and the thin slices of meat are steaming on the smart grill, and the fragrant smell lingers in the nose, which is really mouth-watering.In addition to all kinds of meat, many vegetables can also be put on the barbecue. There are more than a dozen kinds of sauces alone, and the self-service mode is also very considerate.

Everyone chatted while eating. Pang Yu was a fat man with no mind. He thought that Xie Mingzhe would make cards, and he could also get some credit. He looked at Xie Mingzhe with a smile and said, "Xiao Xie, you are really good. You can make ten cards in a week." Original card, where do you come up with so many weird ideas?"

Jin Yue followed up and asked: "Xiao Xie, the style of the cards you make is very special. Have you ever studied art?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "I have been drawing since elementary school, and this year I just entered the Academy of Fine Arts of Shendu University."

Pang Yu gave his thumbs up in admiration: "Have an idea and can draw, no wonder you can make so many original cards! According to me, don't go to any art school, you can earn money just by drawing cards. It is comparable to the income of many people for decades..."

Chen Xiao interrupted Fatty, and looked at Xie Mingzhe: "Don't listen to Xiaopang's nonsense, this matter is not in a hurry to decide. In fact, I think your better way out is an original professional poker player. If you are interested in this, I'll help you plan slowly."

Brother Chen's words were exactly what Xie Mingzhe wanted. He nodded immediately and said, "Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, I really wanted to be a professional poker player."

When everyone heard this, Qi Qi looked up at Xie Mingzhe.

Xie Mingzhe said calmly: "I was able to make so many instant-dead cards. It's just luck that I seized the opportunity. These cards can be sold for a month at most, and the price will definitely fall. No matter how rich you are, one day you will be sitting on nothing. Why don't we plan well?" What to do in the future."

He paused, and then said: "Both Judgment and Ghost Prison offered me good conditions to be a card designer, but I don't want to work for them. I still have a lot of ideas for card making in my mind, so it's better for us Do it." He looked back at Chen Xiao and asked seriously, "Brother Chen, do you think it is feasible if we set up our own club?"

Chen Xiao was a little surprised, and after a while, he whispered: "Setting up a club is not as easy as you think."

Xie Mingzhe said: "I know it's definitely not easy, but I want to set a goal and work hard in this direction first. If I can make a complete set of character cards, I will try it in a game. If the results are good, I will form a club If it doesn't work, let's take a step back and sell cards to make money."

Chen Xiao smiled, with appreciation in his eyes: "You are quite ambitious. However, there have been precedents in the league for creating your own club like you. One is Tang Muzhou in the fifth season, who created Fenghua. The other is Pei Jingshan, who made his debut in the seventh season, founded the Dark Night Capital. But the background of these two people is very strong. The Tang family is a business giant, and the Pei family is very prestigious in the political circle. It is easy for them to attract investment. You won the championship, and the club has developed very well after the establishment of the club. And you, you shouldn’t have such a big background, right?”

Xie Mingzhe said: "You are my backstage."

He said this sentence very easily, but it made everyone present stunned.

Xie Mingzhe smiled slightly, and continued: "It is indeed much easier for rich and powerful people to start a club, but I think that most of the players' family backgrounds are relatively ordinary. Playing games is not based on family background, the key is their own strength—— As long as the strength is enough, everything is easy to say."

This sentence really hit the nail on the head.If the strength is strong enough to win the championship, there is no need to worry about investment, and many players will come here especially.However, the competition in the league is fierce, does he really have such strength?

Chen Xiao looked carefully at the boy in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xie, can you tell me what kind of job your parents are in? Where did your weird card-making ideas come from?"

Xie Mingzhe was reborn once again, with the memory of the Earth era. If this incident is known, it may bring him countless troubles.It was Chen Xiao who asked today, and there will definitely be many people curiously asking this kind of question in the future. He carefully thought out how to deal with it last night.

"Actually, I lied to everyone. I have no family. I am an orphan." Xie Mingzhe said calmly.

"Orphan?" Everyone stared straight, unable to believe that the cheerful guy was actually an orphan.

"That's right." Xie Mingzhe explained calmly, "I grew up in an orphanage. Fortunately, the director of the orphanage took good care of me and allowed me to learn to draw. I took the exam this June and was rejected I was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Imperial University. I came to Imperial City to work. I wanted to save some living expenses for the university. When I went to the job interview, I accidentally fell from the third floor. I broke my head and turned into a vegetative state. I lay down in the affiliated hospital of Imperial University. A whole month. I didn't tell you the truth before, because I didn't want to be sympathized by you."

So far, he's been telling the truth.But this experience is really a bit mysterious, and everyone is dubious.

Chen Xiao found it incredible: "So, the hospitalization you mentioned earlier meant that you broke your head and turned into a vegetative state?"

"Yes." Xie Mingzhe added, "I was fond of fantasizing since I was a child, and I drew and practiced when I thought of funny scenes. This time I was in a coma in the hospital for a whole month. After waking up, my mental strength was stronger than before, and I drew in my mind. The inspiration has never stopped.”

If he becomes famous in the future, his origin and background will definitely be picked up clearly - he has loved fantasy and painting since he was a child, and his inspiration will be more abundant after he wakes up from a vegetative state. This reason is the best shield he gives himself.He combined the true and the false to say that the records of being hospitalized in a vegetative state are clear and can be checked. The identities of orphans and students of the Department of Fine Arts at Imperial University are all true.Even if others were suspicious, they couldn't find any loopholes.

Chen Xiao couldn't find any obvious faults in his words, and looked at Chi Yingying, who immediately said, "I heard from my husband that there was indeed a vegetative named Xie in the neurosurgery department of their hospital, who fell into a coma for the whole time. A few days ago, he suddenly woke up and was discharged from the hospital. He also said that it was a medical miracle, so that person must be you!"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Is it such a coincidence? Your husband is a doctor at the affiliated hospital?"

Chi Yingying said: "He is from the Department of Cardiology, and he is upstairs in the Department of Neurology. It is said that cases of vegetative people waking up are extremely rare. Many doctors know about your discharge from the hospital. The doctors said, maybe this is God's favor, otherwise For a patient in a deep coma like you, the probability of waking up is less than 1%."

Chi Yingying's husband happened to be a doctor in that hospital, so he didn't need to explain anymore, as Chi Yingying was his indirect witness.

When Yingying said this, everyone at the scene immediately dispelled their doubts, and they all said that Xiao Xie was really lucky. He fell into a vegetative state, not only could he wake up, but instead of becoming a fool, he was smarter than before. Isn't it God's blessing?

Chen Xiao patted Xie Mingzhe on the shoulder, and sighed: "It's not easy for you to be an orphan for so many years. Don't worry, there will be a few of us in the future, and we will treat you as a family member."

Xie Mingzhe has no friends in this world, and he will definitely not be able to fight alone in the later stage.Brother Chen is someone he has more contact with and can trust.His talent is so terrifying that normal people would have doubts. Now, Chen Xiao and the others have dispelled their doubts, so that they can really help him in the future.

Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to raise his glass and said sincerely: "It is my luck to meet everyone. If Brother Chen hadn't given me a chance, I would never have come into contact with the game "Star Card Storm", let alone discover my talent for making cards. Chen Brother, you are my nobles, I offer a toast to everyone!"

Chen Xiao readily raised his cup: "Okay, since you have said so, from today onwards everyone is our own. I hate Wo Lifan the most. No matter if I set up a club in the future or open a store to sell cards, I hope everyone will work together. Let's work together and help Xiaoxie with all our strength!"

Everyone raised their glasses excitedly and drank it down.

After Xie Mingzhe drank the red wine, he immediately got to the point: "Since we have decided to form a partnership, I will discuss with you about the share today. Brother Chen said before that each person gets a 2% commission on the store's income. What do you think?"

Pang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If I remember correctly, the store's revenue at noon today alone is 600 million gold coins. If you give me 2%, it will be 12 gold coins, which is comparable to the previous half month's income. Is this too high?"

Chen Xiao said: "Little Fatty is right, the 2% commission is indeed too high."

Xie Mingzhe said with a smile: "A truly united team can't be hired just by having money. Just follow what Brother Chen said." He wanted to find a few partners who were sincere and willing to help him. Behind him are these few people who are willing to support him.Money can be earned again, but a trusted partner is hard to find.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao looked at Xie Mingzhe seriously: "The income of the store will be higher and higher in the future. Do you really want to share such a large profit with us?"

"Why don't you want to?" Xie Mingzhe said bluntly, "Give everyone a share, and everyone will be more motivated. Although our small store has just opened, I am quite confident."

The key is that he has confidence in his own brain hole.Daiyu and Wu Song bumped into good luck accidentally, but later on Xue Baochai, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Cao Chong and other cards, his ideas were fully presented.His talent has also been recognized by great gods such as Nie Yuandao and Zheng Feng. The great gods invited him to join the club. This shows that he does not think too highly of himself, but that he does have the ability to take the "original card" line. road.

A large number of character materials are stored in his mind.In the future, he will definitely make more cards, why can't he take a long-term view?Why not start your own business?

When he was an orphan before, he had experienced all the worst situations, so what was there to be afraid of?

Looking at the calm and confident appearance of the young man in front of him, Chen Xiao was extremely shocked.Since Xie Mingzhe is so confident and has the talent for creating original cards, it seems that his own plan should also be put on the agenda...

Chen Xiao lowered his head and pondered.

***

Everyone played outside excitedly all afternoon, and didn't go back until dark at night.

Fatty and Jin Yue drank too much and went straight back to the dormitory to lay their bodies. Chi Qing sent Chi Yingying home.Xie Mingzhe and Brother Chen were quite sober. After taking a shower, he came to the balcony on the second floor, and sure enough, he saw Chen Xiao smoking a cigarette standing on the balcony.Guessing that Brother Chen had something to say, he opened the door and walked in: "Brother Chen still not sleeping?"

Chen Xiao turned around and stared seriously at Xie Mingzhe's eyes.

The decadent young man who is usually idle, rarely has a serious expression on his face.

The man's eyes were particularly deep, and he asked in a unique hoarse voice: "Xiao Xie, since you really plan to go on the road of original cards, then I have something to help you, or you can say, please help me."

"You help me, and you said you asked me to help you?" Xie Mingzhe was dumbfounded by his words, "What's the matter, Brother Chen?"

"I want to take you to meet someone." Chen Xiao paused and said, "I shouldn't alarm him, but I think he can definitely help you."

He was just accompanying him to meet someone, but Brother Chen's attitude was so cautious, obviously he was a very important person.

Xie Mingzhe nodded and agreed: "No problem, who are you going to see?"

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said in a nostalgic tone: "My brother, Chen Qianlin."

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

Is your brother alive?Xie Mingzhe thought his brother was gone...

Wait, why does the name Qianlin sound familiar?

Qianlin Restaurant?

Xie Mingzhe suddenly remembered that the restaurant Tang Muzhou opened in the game was called Qianlin Restaurant. Could it be related to Chen Qianlin?Sister Xue obviously knew Chen Xiao today. From this point of view, the probability that Chen Xiao's brother was related to Tang Muzhou was very high.

Xie Mingzhe suppressed his curiosity and asked, "When will you see your brother?"

"Tomorrow, this matter can't be delayed any longer." Chen Xiao came over, patted Xie Mingzhe on the shoulder encouragingly, and said in a low voice, "My brother is a very powerful person, he is a real card-making genius. If he is willing If I guide you, you will definitely be able to master the skills of making battle cards faster. It's just that he has been away from the alliance for a long time, and he doesn't...he likes to see me very much." Speaking of this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes, But soon he cheered up, and said with a smile, "I will try my best to persuade him to accept you as an apprentice. You should rest first, get up early tomorrow, and we will set off at nine o'clock."

Seeing the complex expression on the man's face, Xie Mingzhe wisely didn't ask any further questions, and nodded: "Okay, good night, Brother Chen."
