Chapter 20 - Aiming for A Grand Plan
"Installments?" Hearing the term she's clearly hearing for the first time, Melonica looked utterly confused.
"It doesn't matter if you can't produce 1 Carat Negative Crystal right now. You can repay little by little every month." Luo Bai began to use his talent as a store manager.
He has the face of a great benevolent person, and his voice is like a spring breeze.
"You just have to pay a little more handling fee every month."
"How much is the handling fee?" Melonica lowered her head and asked softly.
She's feeling somewhat uneasy.
If it was more than 30%, she wouldn't be able to afford it. She had just been expelled from the family and didn't have much money on her.
"Ten percent."
"Just ten percent?"
The words "just" left Luo Bai completely dumbfounded.
D*mn, the interest rate had been too low.
A 10% installment fee———– back on Earth, having that kind of interest rate would have his shop torn apart.
Biantana is surprisingly rich. No, to be precise, Card Masters are very willing to spend money on Magic Cards.
He had been careless.
A huge loss. He thought he had already been probing to the edge, but it turns out he only touched the surface.
At that moment, Luo Bai swore to squeeze the next Staff to death.
"Repay 0.11 Carats at the beginning of every month. That's it." Luo Bai sighed helplessly, and then his face turned gloomy. "If you don't repay on time, you will have to pay more. If you end the installment early, you will also have to pay more."
After that, he handed the card box to her.
This time, Tabletop Program didn't stop him.
"Y- You're gonna give it to me, just like that?" Melonica took the card box and held it into her chest, feeling a little flattered.
Happiness suddenly comes a bit in her life.
"You don't need any sort of deposit."
"Aren't you afraid... that I will run away?"
She hunched her shoulders, her gaze darting around nervously, looking rather sneaky and a bit funny.
"If you dare to run away..." Luo Bai cast his faceless face as gloomy as that of an Evil God.
"I'll drag you back here and do this and that."
"My shop is quite large, little girl, we can have... a lot of fun."
He speculated that the Card Mage in front of him must have been restricted by the Alterlife Shop, which made it so she couldn't use her Magic Cards.
In that case, isn't she just a 1.6 meter loli?
No matter how useless he is, he shouldn't be unable to defeat her!
"Eek~~ Go away, you pervert!" Melonica hurriedly pushed away the devilish store manager.
"I- I will repay the loan on time."
She gasped quickly, holding the card box tightly to her chest.
Suddenly remembering something, Melonica quickly opened the card box and took out the
A bright line burst out from her eyes.
This Blasphemy Card hasn't been fully verified yet!
Taking a deep breath, she turned on the scanning device of her supercomputer ring.
Swiping the card from up to down, a deep red crest appeared, which is the simplified line drawing of
"The Crest really is here!"
Melonica jumped up with the card in her hand.
Her face full of smiles, she was jumping for joy as if she had found a treasure.
Meanwhile, the nearby Luo Bai looked dumbfounded.
"What the f*ck..."
"Those cards can really be played like that?"
"That can't seriously be the Crest, right?"
Although he has never refined Magic Cards yet, he has skimmed through the basic process of doing it. He certainly understood the importance of
They're literally equivalent to
They would all be money trees.
As long as he holds the Crests, that card can be refined and created until "the Crest is distorted". If anyone else wants this card, they will have to gauge the holder's reaction and bid accordingly.
The card box just now contained 78 cards.
(In-story card box, please don't refer to reality.)
78
He got a loss from his cluelessness!
Seemingly feeling Luo Bai's hot gaze, Melonica's whole body trembled.
"RUA!" She clutched the card box tightly, her hair standing on end, and hissed.
"You've already sold it to me!"
However, seemingly feeling guilty, her tone became hesitant and continued: "Y- You're a store manager, you open your doors to do business."
"You... You've got to be trustworthy."
Oh, what a clever little guy.
"I'm selling it to you, but I want to back up the Crests." Luo Bai said coldly.
He was unwilling to suffer this loss no matter what.
Melonica thought for a while, and feeling really embarrassed that she was taking advantage of other, she handed over the card box.
Luo Bai didn't expect her to be so obedient. Somewhat surprised, he took the card box and opened it.
He then scanned each card into the
"Don't spread it around." Raising her head, Melonica said.
"Do I look like some kind of idiot?"
Luo Baid said lightly and continued scanning without raising his head.
The degree of distortions depends on a Magic Card's
For example, most
After a Crest is distorted, the card can no longer be refined and becomes a
However, True God
Such events were collectively known as...
"Okay, done." After 10 minutes, Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
He sorted the cards and stuffed them back into the card box before handing them back to Melonica. As she said, those who open the door to do business require integrity.
A sale is a sale.
There's no reason for him to take it back.
"Take it, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"
Seeing that she was still stunned, Luo Bai urged her.
"You're really giving it to me?" Melonica seemed a bit incredulous.
If it was earlier, it could be explained by ignorance, but now, knowing the value of the card box, he's still willing to sell it...
"Who the heck's giving it to you? This is a transaction, you're paying for it with money." Luo Bai snorted coldly. Meeting her curious gaze, he waved his hand. "Hey, hey, hey, stop looking, you can leave now. I have other things to do."
Trying to seduce him with her charms?
Thinking of freeloading?
Hmph, what a cunning woman!
Melonica covered the card box, her gaze evasive and uncertain.
"I'm really gonna leave now."
She takes two steps forward, then a step back. She looks at the card box twice, then looks at the store manager.
There's some strange reluctance within her.
When she walked along the water outside the store again, the moonlight above her head seemed to be brighter.
The evening breeze is slightly cool.
The eerie wooden door wasn't far away. As long as she pushed it open, she would have to return to that world of deceit and intrigue.
"This store manager is quite trustworthy..."
Suddenly remembering that there was a Silver-ranked Card Hunter in the real world and she didn't have any ready-made Magic Cards, Melonica's eyes gradually opened wide.
She quickly turned around.
Her feet splashing water around her, she rushed back to the card shop.
"Bang!"
Hearing the door being opened and seeing Melonica rushing inside the shop again, Luo Bai was startled.
"What are you up to now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Melonica rushed over and tightly grasped his hand, her warmth transmitted to his.
Her exquisite face slightly flushed, her eyes shimmering with excitement, she exclaimed:
"Let's do it once!"
"? ? ?" Luo Bai was shocked by these words, "Do it once?"
"Right here?"
He looked Melonica up and down, confirming that she indeed had a great figure and appearance.
"Yes!" Melonica nodded heavily, the blush on her face not diminishing.
Luo Bai took a sharp breath, leaning his body away from Melonica.
This little girl's aiming for a grand plan.
Is she aiming to become the Boss Lady!?
