Chapter 40 Cards can be traded
The decoration in the store is very exquisite, and there are many different types of limited edition "cards" in the wooden display cabinets.

Including many well-known table games, such as "Three Kingdoms", "Magic: The Gathering", "Magic Pets Battle" and so on.
Luo Xi put the folded umbrella at the door and looked around.

There were no other customers in the store except the clerk who was reading a book at the counter over there.

Yes, who would come out to buy a card game on a rainy day like this?

What's more, this kind of physical card game is relatively niche. Firstly, the price is not cheap, and secondly, there are many similar games on the Internet. Why spend money to buy them and play them? So it is not surprising that the business is not good.

"Feel free to look around. Tell me if you need anything."

The clerk, or maybe the boss, was a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a T-shirt and a little fat. He said something like a formula at this time. The tea set on his table was a special porcelain cup with patterns of some magical creatures on it, like a magic lamp. The book he held in his hand was "The Player's World".

Luo Xi has also read this book.

It tells the story of looking at the world and life from a unique perspective, and discovering many different and interesting things.

This is a very philosophical book that can be read superficially or studied in depth.

And in his memory, there was a very important reason why Luo Xi read this book.

The author of this book is also called 'Luo Xi'.

We have the same name and surname, so I remember it so clearly.

There is a wall in this store that is covered with almost all kinds of cards, which looks quite gorgeous, and there must be thousands of them. It is obviously a decorative style. Anyway, it looks very shocking and a little gaudy, and I can't find the focus.

Unless you look closely, it will be dazzling.

"Luo Xi, look, there's a dog here."

Wu Rui's voice interrupted Luo Xi's observation. Turning around, he saw Wu Rui squatting on the ground, looking at the dog lying on a mat next to the counter.

A black Labrador retriever.

It doesn't look big.

Maybe it's only two or three months old and is still in the very cute puppy stage.

The dog was sleeping lazily, not paying any attention to Wu Rui who was touching its head. It even cooperated with her touch and changed to a more comfortable position.

But as soon as she touched it, Wu Rui's face changed drastically and she started to tremble.

It looked like seeing a ghost.

Luo Xi walked over immediately.

"what happened?"

"You'll know if you touch this dog." Wu Rui's tone suddenly became serious, and she looked at the clerk who was already showing a meaningful smile, showing vigilance.

Luo Xi reached out and touched the dog.

Then I immediately saw a piece of text appearing on the dog's head.

[Watchdog], biological and rule attributes, other attributes: unknown, can be carded - As the name suggests, this is a watchdog, its function is to guard the house and protect the owner. In short, as long as you don't provoke it, it will not bother to pay attention to you.

No wonder Wu Rui looked like she had seen a ghost just now.

It's obvious that this store is not normal. After all, what serious person would come up with a store name like "Bikki Bottom Card Shop" that looks so neurotic?
But Luo Xi thought this was a good thing, and it was also a coincidence.

As for being surprised, he wasn't really that surprised, because just now Luo Xi found a card called [Memory] and a card called [Merchant] from the thousands of cards on the card wall. These two cards were the Spider Cards from the Day of Imprisonment.

So this store is very interesting.

The clerk or the boss should be the one who recovers memories, but he seems to have another way of obtaining [memories].

"Memory, how much do you want to sell it for?" Luo Xi walked over and asked.

Wu Rui followed behind, holding the hilt of the knife, ready to deal with anything.

And at the moment when she grasped the handle of the knife, the originally lazy and very cute puppy suddenly turned its head to look at her and began to grin.

It’s unbelievable that I could feel a huge danger from this little dog.

"Relax, don't forget this is a watchdog." Luo Xi said to Wu Rui, who was stunned for a moment, then reacted and let go of the knife handle.

The puppy immediately returned to normal, as if harmless.

"A wise choice, my lovely lady. As for this gentleman, you want to remember, right?" The clerk said with a smile, "I need to explain in advance that the cards in the Day of Imprisonment cannot be bought with money. We only barter here, that is, use Spider Cards to exchange Spider Cards. Then can I see your cards?"

Luo Xi flipped his hand, took out a card and placed it on the table.

The clerk took a look.

"Is it a weapon card? Well, [Bloody Hammer]. It has a strong attack power, but it requires enough strength. But at the same time, using it will also increase strength. Could it be a cleaner's weapon?" The clerk muttered to himself while appraising it with great interest. "It is indeed from a cleaner." Luo Xi said.

"That's what I told you. I wasn't wrong about this. It's a good thing. If you want to exchange it, I can exchange a [Memory] for this [Bloody Hammer]. Do you agree?" the clerk looked up and asked.

"disagree."

Luo Xi reached out and took the card back.

The clerk was stunned and looked reluctant.

Just like his performance, this is indeed a very good weapon card, but it is clear that he is also a greedy businessman and obviously has no intention of raising the price.

"Anyway, if you want to exchange it, there's only one [Memory], and it's only worth this price."

The clerk's slightly plump face showed a determination that it was impossible to raise the price.

"I think it can be exchanged for at least three [Memories]." Luo Xi said his price with a smile.

"Three? Haha, you have no sincerity at all. It's only worth one, just one." The clerk was obviously a master negotiator.

"If we can't come to an agreement, then forget it." Luo Xi put the cards away. He was not short of memory, and he was just testing before.

Then he turned and pointed at the dog.

"How much do you sell the dog for?"

"The dog is not for sale. After all, I need this dog to save my life. Everyone knows the rules of killing among the Shiyi people. Besides, everyone's mental state is not very good, and their tempers, haha, everyone knows it."

"So, you opened this store with the help of the two cards, [Watchdog] and [Merchant]. This way, you can exchange cards with each other, buy at a low price and sell at a high price, with only a little cost. You are very smart. In this way, you can avoid the dangers in the level scenes and live happily." Luo Xi was still looking around.

“Oh, it’s not as simple as you think. This kind of business cannot be done every time. There are times when I have to shave my head. If there is no business for several consecutive times, I can only take the risk of entering some level scenes to purchase goods.” The clerk’s tone was somewhat helpless.

"I can see that your business is indeed average. So besides [Memory], do you have other cards here?" Luo Xi asked.

"Of course, I'm a veteran card dealer, and Bikini Bottom has a great reputation in this area." The clerk said proudly: "Which one do you want?"

"[Duck Prophet], is there one?"

"." The clerk was stunned, and then said with a hint of excitement: "Have you seen that card?"

Luo Xi nodded.

The former immediately took out a booklet from under the counter. It was made of high-quality draft paper, held together with special clips, and contained hand-drawn card patterns and handwritten text descriptions.

It's the kind of thing that's drawn and written by hand, like a card encyclopedia.

Very detailed, something that obviously took time and effort.

The clerk flipped open a page with a bookmark labeled "Special Creatures" and handed it to Luo Xi to look at: "Is this the one?"

Luo Xi just glanced and nodded.

"Yes, but the pattern you drew is slightly different. The Duck Prophet is holding a red electric saw. The emblem on its chest reads 'Chun Jiang' instead of 'DK'. As for the text description, it's missing something. Do you need me to add more?"

"Is that possible? That's great!" The clerk was a little excited: "To be honest, what I like most is the system of card abilities in the Day of Imprisonment. I even spent a lot of time trying to draw a real illustration of all the cards in the Day of Imprisonment. I want to write a real card encyclopedia."

"But this is a difficult thing. I have never seen some of the cards before, so I can only rely on descriptions. Uh, what are you holding? Oh my god, you...you."

Suddenly, the clerk saw the man opposite him casually took out eight spider cards and flashed them past him.

And inside, there were many cards that he had never seen before, especially the [Kurapika's Sword of Control].

There is no doubt that for someone who is obsessed with the Spider Cards of the Forbidden Day, this is definitely an irresistible temptation, so much so that his breathing was slightly stagnant for a moment.

The clerk is a smart man and a veteran among the memory collectors.

He reacted immediately.

"What do you want to exchange? Memory? If you are willing, I can exchange a [Memory] for the information of the cards in your hand."

"No, I don't like taking advantage of others. If you want to see the information of these cards, you can only exchange it for equivalent information."

"Oh, I understand."

The clerk thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

Then he snapped his fingers.

bang~
A puff of smoke flashed by, and an exquisite card album appeared out of thin air in front of him, like an open book. The entire cover was a lifelike, protruding spider pattern, which was very realistic.

"This is a card collection album. What? You haven't seen it before, have you?" The clerk saw the expressions of the two people opposite him and smiled, as if he was looking at the expressions of those country bumpkins who had never seen the world, with sympathy, contempt, and a strong sense of superiority.
