Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Sorry, Major is Relevant_1

"These four cards are for exchange with any other magic cards of the same rank."

After Mu You finished speaking, he turned to Gemini, indicating that he was done speaking.

Gemini nodded and took out a card that emitted silken lightning from its surface: "I’m not as powerful as Aries, and I currently only have one card to trade. But this is a high-level card, Thunder Element, named Trap of Heavenly Thunder. It can summon a thundercloud which will launch destructive thunderbolts in its envelope area. However, casting the spell continuously is necessary. I hope to trade it for another card of the same rank."

The card Gemini took out drew the attention of others, and Mu You was also surprised that Gemini was offering a high-level card right at the beginning.

So far, the highest rank Black Magic he had encountered was the ’Golden Touch’ he met in the trial, and he failed to get it due to the special rules set by Libra.

After Gemini finished speaking, it was Cancer’s turn.

Sitting in Cancer’s place was a quiet man, who said casually when it was his turn, "I have no cards for exchange. Pass." And just like that, he skipped his turn.

Next up was Leo, who after scanning Gemini mischievously, said surprisingly: "Didn’t expect you to bring out a high-level card."

Then he took a flame-red card from his body.

"This is a high-level Fire Element Black Magic, Fire Giant. Once cast, it will summon a fire giant, causing massive damage and explosion. Moreover, every time it kills a unit, it will evolve once without any limit, and last for five minutes."

Leo looked at Gemini with disdain: "To be honest, this card is very powerful, I’ve turned the game around more than once with it, so I really don’t want to give it to someone like you. But... well, let’s see. If no one else has a high-level card, I might grudgingly trade with you."

Mu You was green with envy at the sight. Damn it, why do they all have high-level cards?

Unfortunately, both have already stated that they’ll only exchange for cards of the same rank. The values of high-level and mid-low level cards are incomparable, even if he put all four cards up for trade, they might still not be interested.

Mu You is an arbitrator, but he can’t force others to trade with him. Otherwise, the meeting would break down after this.

Shaking his head, Mu You regretfully decided to look forward to the cards offered by the others, hoping there would be something he could trade for.

After Leo, it was Virgo’s turn.

This was a girl with high ponytail, it was unexpected that when it was her turn, she didn’t speak, but quickly made a series of signs with both hands, seeming to point at Mu You in the middle and making more hand gestures.

Mu You had no idea what she meant, so he looked at the others: "Does anyone understand sign language?"

"I understand some."

The Libra girl next to him translated: "Virgo means she only has one mid-level card right now, but it’s already fused, so the trade will have to wait until the next meeting. In addition, she likes Aries’ ’Rejuvenation’ and hopes to exchange it with you in the next meeting."

"I see."

Mu You nodded and said to Virgo, "I will bring another ’Rejuvenation’ card next time, you can show me your card then."

Upon hearing this, Virgo made another gesture at him.

This time Mu You understood what she meant. She extended her thumb downward, a sign for ’thank you’.

After Virgo, it was Libra’s turn.

Finally, there was someone interested in Mu You’s card, and the target was predictably ’Rejuvenation’ again.

All one could say is, this card indeed was a big killer for women, his other cards hardly got any attention at all.

Libra took out a card that radiated white light: "This is a medium-level Light Element magic card, ’Tenacious Light’. Every thirty seconds, it automatically negates a targeted spell from the enemy. Regardless of how high-level the spell is, even if it’s a forbidden curse, as long as the card is not in its cooldown period, it can completely exempt its effect. However, since this card activates passively, it must be inscribed on a crystal to take effect. In other words, this card needs to occupy a card slot for a long time. I want to trade it for your ’Rejuvenation’ card."

Libra was being fair, explaining clearly the pros and cons of the card.

"Ok, we’ll trade later."

Mu You nodded.

The effect of the card was quite noticeable, although it had the disadvantage of occupying a card slot but he didn’t think it was a problem given his high card-making speed. He could simply remove it from the slot when it was in cooldown and put it back after it cools down. That’s the advantage of having many cards!

It’s Scorpio’s turn after Libra.

He was the level 8 youth who joined in the last round. He finally brought out a card this round, but his tone was slightly awkward.

"This is a low-level spatial black magic card, named Dark Transfer. The effect is to set up a Dark Teleportation Array in two separate places, and move between them anytime without any distance limit, but it consumes one year of lifespan each time."

Mu You was somewhat surprised at the description of the card. The effect of this card was pretty good!

Once he had it, he wouldn’t have to ride around aimlessly on a donkey all day. With a few more teleportation arrays set up in the game, he could teleport at any time.

As for the lifespan consumption by teleportation, it was no biggie. Lifespan was equivalent to physical strength, and with the rice porridge from the old lady’s house, he had more than enough strength every day. It was purely a gain for him to spend a year of life for an unlimited distance return to home and refuel his strength.

At this point, Scorpio continued, "I must point out that this is the only magic card I have, and moreover, this card is extremely difficult to replicate. After two whole weeks of attempts, I failed to replicate it successfully, not even achieving 10% of the progress."

Scorpio shook his head helplessly, "I’ve been hesitant to fuse with this card because once I do, I won’t even have a basic trading card."

After saying that, Scorpio turned to Lion directly, "I know this card is something my ability can’t replicate, so Lion, old pal, I would like to ask you to exchange a card with me. You can choose any card you like. And if possible, I hope that after you create two duplicates of this card, you can give me a new one... of course, if you need compensation in other ways, I can try to provide it... What do you think?"

After Scorpio said this, everyone was taken aback, and they quickly understood.

This card was too difficult to create, beyond Scorpio’s level, so he hoped to exchange a new one with others as a ’starter card’, but at the same time, he was reluctant to give up the effect of this card, so he hoped that the exchanger could return him a duplicate after creating it.

"Ay, chap, this is certainly putting me in a tight spot!"

Lion thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Spatial black magic is the hardest to engrave. To be honest, I used to have a spatial card too, but after engraving it on the crystal, I never managed to replicate it successfully, it just took up a slot in my deck for no reason. So, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but this task is just too daunting for me, I don’t think I can handle it."

"In that case..."

Scorpio seemed helpless and turned to Sagittarius.

Lion and Sagittarius were the two oldest members of this association, and his only hope lay with them.

Seeing Scorpio turn to him, Sagittarius quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Sorry, if even Lion can’t do it, I certainly can’t, and moreover, I have many other cards lined up to be created, I’m afraid I can’t help you..."

"Sigh..."

Having been rejected continuously, Scorpio felt very disappointed. He didn’t know why he was so unlucky to have the first card assigned to him be so difficult, leaving him without anything to exchange as a starter card.

If no one would take it, he would just have to sell this card to someone else, in hopes of getting another card back. That would at least give him something to trade with. Otherwise, his career as a sorcerer would really be stuck at Newbie Village forever.

Just as Scorpio was thinking about who to swap with, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Maybe... I could give it a try."

"Huh?"

Everyone turned to look at Aries at the top. Scorpio also looked at Mu You in surprise.

"You need a starter card, right?"

Mu You looked at Scorpio, picked up a card from the side, "I can loan you this, Small Fireball, and you can use it as a starter card. You can also loan me your ’Teleport’. No matter whether or not I manage to replicate it next week, I will still return one ’Teleport’ to you. How about that?"

Scorpio was startled at first, then overjoyed, "If that’s the case, that would be great! Thank you so much!"

His main concern was that no one dared to take his card. Now, not only had Aries taken it, he was even providing him with a collateral.

All he had to do was replicate the Small Fireball this week and he would have a starter card! Moreover, Aries had promised to return a Teleport to him the following week no matter what, so there’s no way he would end up losing out unless Aries went back on his word...

However, based on Mu You’s credibility so far, he seemed reliable. And besides, would an Ancient Great God go to the extent of messing with a newbie like him?

Scorpio didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed, quickly placing the card on the design in front of him, and the two of them exchanged cards.

Little did he know, at this time, Mu You was the truly surprised one.

So, there are cards that other people can’t make!

Why didn’t they say so earlier!

The difficulty of card making doesn’t exist for him, this kind of trade is absolutely on point for him.

He not only wanted to make this card, but he also wanted to produce it in high quality and quantity, bringing it to show others next week, so they’d know that he had the ability to make any card. From now on, whenever there were cards that were impossible to make, they could just come to him for a trade!
