Chapter 58 System Mall
After finishing his training schedule for the day, Xing Liang returned home, didn't eat dinner, and after a quick wash, collapsed onto the bed.
Tired.
After Xing Ya finished that round, in the subsequent training, apart from the student who used witch magic and could put up some resistance when he got serious, the other students, if Xing Liang didn't hold back, basically couldn't last past the second round.
Is the school serious? Is it really okay to let these students participate in the competition?
Or did they know they wouldn't get a good ranking, so they started to give up?
He didn't know what the school was thinking, but judging from the way those students trained, they were seriously preparing for the competition and really wanted to win.
However, their deck construction had significant problems. Although they improved the deck at Xing Liang's suggestion, and their family was not short of money and could afford to buy cards.
However, in Orsace, a border region, the number of decent cards available for purchase is extremely limited. Forget about small, high-end cards suitable for their decks; they barely have any general-purpose cards at all.
Xing Liang rolled over, pulled the blanket over his head, and turned off the light.
Ah, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep!
Strange noises came from Xing Liang's room in the middle of the night.
"Hehehe, I have two Tyrannosaurus Rex on the field right now, and my Life Points are only 500. How are you going to beat my field with just one card in your hand?"
"The Lava Demon God? When did it arrive?"
"Quack! I don't want to see these teeth!"
Xing Liang muttered something and rolled over.
Hearing Xing Liang talking incoherently in his sleep, the defender was certain that he had fallen asleep.
He picked up Xing Liang's phone from the bedside table, entered the password, unlocked it, and opened the browser—all in one smooth motion.
After entering a rather long URL, he entered a communication platform.
Judging from his skill level, this was clearly not the first time he had done this.
He typed the room number into the search bar and clicked into a special chat room. There were already people in the room, and their nicknames consisted of only a "?".
[?]: What brings you here this time?
[Defender]: Regarding the previous proposal.
【？】：You should know that even if you become the complete form after losing your "voice", you will not be a match for that "fake". The deal is not valid.
[Defender]: Therefore, I need to increase the "bargaining chips" in the transaction.
【?】: Is the price already paid irreversibly, or have you come up with some crazy idea again?
The defender glanced at the sleeping Xing Liang.
[Defender]: Do you know about "True Ancestor"?
【?】：……
The other party, who always replied to the defender's messages instantly, fell silent for once.
【？】：The “True Ancestor” had already disappeared before He met you for the first time, and He could not possibly tell you about the existence of the “True Ancestor”.
【？】：The “True Ancestor” will not appear in historical records. They are afraid and try their best to deny the existence of the “True Ancestor”, even going so far as to tamper with history books to erase the existence of the “True Ancestor”.
【？】：Therefore, there are only two possibilities for you mentioning "true ancestor".
【？】：First, you have found the "door" that the divine realm has been searching for for thousands of years without success.
After a brief pause, messages popped up quickly, not questioning, but seeking confirmation.
【？】：Second, you saw Him again.
At some point, the Chaos Dragon appeared beside Xing Liang's bed, neither stopping the defender's actions nor asking why.
She covered Xing Liang with the blanket he had kicked aside and tidied his messy hair. Then she looked at the defender, her purple-gold eyes staring at him calmly, as if to tell him: Speak freely.
After a moment's thought, the defender typed a line in the input field and clicked send.
[Defender]: I saw that He was standing in front of the "door".
A long silence fell on the other end.
[?]: I will fulfill the previous proposal, but in return, you must promise me one thing.
[Defender]: What?
【？】：At all costs, prevent the arrival of the "True Ancestor".
In the virtual space where countless torrents of data surge, some unknown entity shut down the screen in front of us.
Let's make a cake today to celebrate, and put extra sugar in it.
The next morning, Xing Liang was woken up by Xing Ya.
"Brother! Brother! Wake up, there's good news!"
Xing Ya, who usually sleeps in late, got up before Xing Liang for the first time today, and is now excitedly shaking Xing Liang who is still sleeping.
"My system shop is finally open!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Liang, who was about to have a fit of morning grumpiness, sprang out of bed in a flash.
"What do you say?"
He had heard Xing Ya mention it before; according to the system, the system store had many good things, but it was practically useless because it had never met the conditions for opening. He hadn't paid much attention to it.
"Wait a minute, you haven't been doing anything lately, so how did it suddenly become open?"
Xing Liang became alert; something was definitely amiss.
Xing Ya scratched her head.
"I didn't know! The system reminded me this morning that the system store is open. It said that I had been applying for permission, but only received a response today."
Requesting permissions? Does Xing Ya's system belong to some organization or company, requiring all her abilities and actions to be approved by a "superior"?
Although puzzled, Xing Liang knew he wouldn't get any information out of his younger sister, who looked so innocent and naive.
"Never mind, let's see what we can buy first."
"Oh, good."
Xing Ya quickly opened the system store interface and thoughtfully turned off the hidden mode that was usually on, so that Xing Liang could also see the system panel.
"Let me see... medicine, food, daily necessities... and magic cards?"
Xing Liang only glanced at the others briefly, but he got excited as soon as he saw the card.
Cards in this world are incredibly expensive, and some of the rarer cards are even unavailable for purchase. Acquiring new card decks is even more difficult.
This is great, a godsend! Moreover, according to the system, as compensation for the long delay in granting the permissions, 600 system points were automatically deposited into Xing Ya's system account. Combined with the system points Xing Ya previously obtained from the Resonance Spirit, they now have nearly 1000 system points to squander.
"Let me see... [No. 25 Heavy-Duty Optical Camera - Focus Power], [Royal Guardian], [Disciplinary Chief - Blessing]..."
The more Xing Liang looked, the stranger it seemed.
The monsters are either Level 6 or Rank 6, or they are Cyberse monsters. The spells and traps are also mostly cards that are compatible with Cyberse monsters.
The price is reasonable, with each card costing only a few system points. Some general-purpose cards are slightly more expensive, but still acceptable.
"【Access Code Talker】50 system points each, not bad; 【Slaying Machine - Round Weapon】100 system points each, a bit expensive, but understandable..."
"Ok?"
Xing Liang stopped flipping the paper down.
"【Electronic World Arrival @Fire Spirit Star】, do you need 6 system points?"
I can't afford it, I'm outta here.
Finally, besides the few cards they could use, Xing Liang also gave a few cards to the participating students.
【Original Stone Dragon - Imperial Yellow Jade Dragon】
The Primal Stone series, used in conjunction with regular monsters, is perfect for that kid who summons demons.
"But why isn't Twin Dome here? He's a Cyberse monster too..."
We'll look into that later. Let's get ready to start today's training!
