In the backroom of a shop on Seven-Star Street, a man with a large, round head shot up from the bed.
"What incredible luck."
He glanced around, his face brimming with excitent.
Since his last na was Yuan and his head was large, people on this street had given him the nickna Yuan Datou.
Yuan Datou had also qualified to enter the Cubic taverse and set off from the initial town on the first day, arriving at Lanlan Town.
In the days that followed, he spent his ti in the town getting familiar with his surroundings.
Due to his line of work, Yuan Datou was particularly interested in the three card shops, spending about 80% of his ti inside them.
Today, the Demon Man’s shop had just opened, and he was among the first batch of custors to enter.
It was precisely the ti when the Sapphire Silken Siren was put on display. With just one glance, Yuan Datou recognized its value.
He imdiately joined the purchasing queue and, with great luck, managed to buy the card before the ti limit expired.
"Boss, you’re back."
Seeing Yuan Datou walk out from the back room, the female shop assistant greeted him.
"Little Huang, ring the bell."
Yuan Datou opened his mouth with this sentence.
"Huh? Ring the bell?"
The shop assistant paused, imdiately stopping the work at hand.
Ringing the bell had a special significance on Seven-Star Street.
Every shop on this street had a small bell at its entrance.
Though the bell was small, its sound was loud, enough to echo throughout the entire street.
Whenever a shop rang its bell, it ant a high-quality or rare card was for sale.
A group of passionate Cubic card enthusiasts resided on Seven-Star Street, their true purpose being just one thing.
They were waiting for the bell.
As soon as they heard the bell, they would swarm over.
Generally speaking, so shop owners might only ring the bell once or twice a year.
That’s why the shop assistant was so surprised upon hearing Yuan Datou’s words.
After a further confirmation, she walked to the entrance, grabbed the bell’s cord, and gave it a vigorous shake.
[Ding-a-ling-a-ling...]
The crisp and resonant sound of the bell imdiately spread out.
"Oh! There’s the bell!"
"Hahaha! Could today be such a fortuitous day!"
"Whose bell is it?"
"Sounds like it’s from Yuan Datou’s place!"
"Hurry, hurry! We might miss it if we’re late!"
The people on the street, upon hearing the bell, imdiately sprang into action.
Soon, Yuan Datou’s store was packed with people.
Yuan Datou was hiding in the backroom and didn’t appear imdiately.
Instead, he observed through the shop assistant and secretly watched.
He was observing whether his few regular big custors had arrived.
After leaving them waiting for over ten minutes, until the people were lined up outside, occupying half the street, Yuan Datou finally appeared with a grin.
"Yuan Datou, what card are you selling this ti!"
"I heard you’ve gone to the Cubic taverse, is it true?"
"Is it fun there? Is it a paradise for card players?"
"Are you selling cards from over there? Show us what you’ve got!"
As soon as he appeared, the crowd bombarded him with questions.
Facing these inquiries, Yuan Datou just smiled without saying a word.
He stepped onto a small stool and pressed down his hands toward the crowd.
This gesture made the scene imdiately quiet down.
"Ahem."
Yuan Datou cleared his throat, then laughed and said, "Everyone, this ti I’m selling a rare card."
By the end of his visit to the Cubic taverse, including his own, the shop had only sold four Sapphire Silken Siren cards.
The previous three custors were taverse natives, with peculiar appearances that clearly weren’t Blue Star people.
From his understanding, the number of these rare and practical cards is surely limited, with a high price of 1.5 Cubic Coins.
Given this context, bringing the Sapphire Silken Siren back to Blue Star, one wouldn’t dare say it isn’t a rare card.
"Yuan Datou, looks like you’ve made quite a splash over there!"
"A rare card, hahaha! I’m so excited!"
"What are you excited for, this card is definitely mine."
"Hmph, with what little you’ve got, you think you can compete with ?"
The words ’rare card’ imdiately heated up the atmosphere.
In fact, any card from the Cubic taverse brought to Blue Star is theoretically a rare card.
This is a truth everyone understands.
But since Yuan Datou can set up shop here, it already proves his credibility is reliable.
They trust he definitely wouldn’t bring out a re trinket just to fool them.
It must be both a rare card and of exceptionally good quality.
"Hehehe."
Under the crowd’s urging, Yuan Datou flipped his wrist and drew out the Sapphire Silken Siren.
[Ooh la la~]
Mounted on a sapphire glittering oyster shell, the siren appeared.
Initially, people were a bit disappointed seeing such an ordinary spectacle, but when the card’s face was revealed, they were all astonished.
"This card has an incredible price-to-performance ratio!"
"A C-level card with effects rivaling an A-level one!"
"Is this what taverse cards are like? So exquisite!"
"Yuan Datou, how much for this card? Hurry and na your price!"
"It’s mine! I’m a huge fan of this kind of faerie cards!"
"Your tastes... quite refined, I like them too."
The crowd’s reactions were exactly what Yuan Datou had anticipated.
"For this card, we’ll stick to the old rules and hold an on-site auction."
He scanned the crowd with a smile and slowly said, "Starting at 10,000 Crystal Coins, increasing by 500 each bid."
