Ke Jin didn't come back all afternoon.

After visiting the exhibition, everyone went back to the hotel together in the evening. Ke Jin did not show up for dinner, and around 9pm, Ke Jin returned to the hotel room.

Oloy was lying on the bed reading a book. When he heard the door open, he sat up. He saw that the black-haired young man looked a little tired, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

"where have you been?"

Ke Jin had previously told everyone that someone from the Card Pool Bureau was looking for him, mainly because he didn't want Bai Fan to know that Duan Zihan was also here. Now that Ou Nuo was the only one in the room, Ke Jin naturally had no need to hide anything anymore and just told the truth, recounting the story of Duan Zihan and Qing Buyu.

Ouloi immediately thought of the woman in the white dress who passed by them in the corridor. He thought that the other person must be Qing Buyu, the second director of Qingyu Group mentioned by Ke Jin.

"Are you planning to cooperate with Qingyu Group?" Ou Luoyi felt that since Ke Jin had been talking to the other party for such a long time and had only come back now, it should not be as simple as just getting to know each other.

"I do have this plan." Ke Jin nodded slowly, "After all, I want to open 30 chain card pools in Chikongzhou before October next year. It's impossible to do it without finding someone to cooperate with."

The first time Oloy heard Ke Jin talk about this, he couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Thirty families? Are you sure?"

I'm not sure, but the system is sure...

Ke Jin thought silently and asked casually.

"Do you think this plan is difficult?"

"If there is a reliable partner, it would be fine." Oloy is good at drawing cards, and he doesn't know much about operating a card pool. However, since this is his first card pool, he thinks that as long as there is enough time, it will be no problem to open 300 sub-pools. "According to your plan, you should not stay in Chikongzhou forever, right?"

"Of course." Ke Jin said as he took out the information from the backpack he was carrying. These were all the information he asked Qing Buyu for in the afternoon. Although the two sides have not yet reached a formal agreement, since there is a cooperation intention, he must know more about the Qingyu Group. "Forget about Chikongzhou. I may not be able to stay on the Blue Star for long in the future..."

Oloy was stunned for a moment, and then he straightened up subconsciously: "Really? Then where are you going after you leave Azure Star?"

"It's hard to say." Ke Jin pulled out a chair and sat down, flipping through the information in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Of course, it mainly depends on the task location released by the system later...

Ke Jin mentioned this topic casually, but Ou Nuo seemed very interested and kept asking questions.

"Will you stay in the Aquarius system forever?"

"uncertain……"

"Or go back to your hometown, the Cancer Galaxy?" Oloy looked at Ke Jin's identity registration card, which stated that his original birthplace was in the Cancer Galaxy.

"Uh... I don't have any plans for that at the moment."

Ke Jin was a little nervous. The setting of this hometown was purely made up by the system, and he didn't even know where the Cancer Galaxy was!

"Then..." Oloy stared at Ke Jin with sharp eyes, "Have you ever thought about going to the Imperial System?"

"No." Ke Jin rejected it immediately, "It's too far."

Of course, this was just an excuse. In fact, Ke Jin had also learned a little about the situation in the Empire Galaxy. It was completely different from the Federation Galaxy. The card pool there was particularly developed and the competition was fierce and brutal. If he went there with his size, he would definitely be cannon fodder. Moreover, he believed that the system would definitely not go crazy and let him go in a short period of time. Well... the system should still have this bit of B-ness...

Oloy was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but no matter what he said, Ke Jin just made perfunctory responses such as "hmm" and "ah". Oloy saw that Ke Jin's mind was completely focused on reading the information, so he could only stop talking in frustration and continue to lie back on the bed to read.

Time passed quickly and it was half past ten. The next day was the official opening day. Ke Jin didn't dare to sleep late. He first sent Ounuo to wash up, and then he put the materials back into his backpack. After packing up, Ke Jin picked up the communicator and took a look. In addition to a few advertising messages, he unexpectedly saw three messages from unfamiliar numbers.

The first one: [This is a random message, and the one who receives it is the destined one~! Since we are so destined, let's make friends~~＼（≧▽≦）／～]

Article 2: [Can we just be friends and chat? Please don’t ignore me~ (ω)]

Article 3: [Good night~ I hope to get your reply tomorrow~ [heart]]

...What is this? =口=

Is this the interstellar version of the drifting bottle game? I haven’t heard that this thing is popular here? ?

Ke Jin rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, quickly deleted the strange messages and spam ads, set the alarm, turned off the phone, and went to make the bed.

***

The first Seven Continents Card Pool Exhibition on Azure Star finally opened as scheduled.

In order to make this a big hit, the organizer, Qingyuzhou Card Pool Bureau, carried out a bombardment of publicity for the exhibition in the early stage, and even invited popular stars from various continents to attend the opening ceremony. Therefore, the scene was packed with people on the first day, and reporters from various media also came to the scene. The scale of the ceremony was much larger than the Chikongzhou annual awards ceremony that Ke Jin attended.

After the opening ceremony was over and the exhibition hall was officially opened, the flow of people coming in was even more exaggerated. Ke Jin had previously discussed with Su Yufeng whether they needed to organize some small activities to attract traffic. As a result, his booth was already crowded with people in just half an hour - no one came there on their own initiative, but they were squeezed in by the crowd.

Gu Qianqian and Su Xiaolan originally wanted to go to the exhibition area of ​​the neighboring continent to join in the fun, but they soon ran back in a panic.

"Oh my god! There are so many people!" Gu Qianqian's newly bought leather boots were stepped on several times. She was so distressed that she wiped the shoe footprints on them while complaining, "The Qingyuzhou Card Pool General Administration is too inexperienced this time. They also built the performance stage in the venue. Now many people here are fans of the specially invited stars, waiting for the performance to start!"

"I think this was deliberately designed by the Qingyuzhou Card Pool Administration." Uncle Zhou glanced at the huge crowds of people in the venue and said, "Before the performance begins, we will help attract traffic to the booths of each card user. Although everyone is not participating in the exhibition for money, it is better to have people patronizing than to have no one care about it."

This is indeed the case.

Ke Jin came to the exhibition this time mainly to learn about the card pool industry in the other six continents, mainly to gain knowledge. Therefore, the number of circulating cards he brought was not large, mainly for display. Later, it was because of Su Yufeng's suggestion that Ke Jin rented a temporary card spirit like other card users (in fact, he directly asked Qi for help) and opened a temporary card pool in a corner of the booth for interested tourists to simply draw cards.

But Ke Jin didn't expect that the Qingyuzhou Card Pool General Administration was so "considerate" that they led the flow of people to the various card booths in disguise from the beginning. Compared with some daily necessities card pools, such as furniture card pools, clothing card pools, etc., the snack card pool is more in line with the actual needs of these fans at this time - the venue security check clearly stipulates that no one is allowed to bring their own drinks and food, and many people like to drink and eat something when watching performances, so when they saw Ke Jin and Su Yufeng holding the "Snack Card Pool" and "Fruit Card Pool" signs from afar, they immediately consciously moved over here, making the already crowded small booth even more crowded.

The temporary card pool contained a limited number of card types. Ke Jin had only selected a few from the "cold drinks category", while Su Yufeng had some fruit teas. The two of them spent most of their time on arranging the card display cabinet. As a result, the people who rushed in didn't even look at the display cabinet. After asking about the types of cards in the two people's card pool, everyone was very satisfied and started to insert coins to draw cards.

Since they were snacks and drinks that they were going to enjoy while watching the show, everyone basically drew one or two cards and then stopped. Although the number of cards drawn by a single person was small, the total number of people drawing cards was large! Ke Jin had never dreamed that even in Chikongzhou, there would still be a long line in front of his card pool like in the past.

Ke Jin secretly glanced at Qi in the middle of the conversation. Sure enough, the silver-haired young man looked at the cards jumping out of the temporary card pool one by one, and his face became paler and paler. Ke Jin could completely imagine what Qi was thinking at this moment: Damn, I came here to take a vacation, why am I desperately renewing my card? ! Who told me before that there wouldn’t be too many people drawing cards at the exhibition! ! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

The peak of dense crowds lasted for more than an hour. At around ten o'clock, the performance venue was finally opened. A large number of fans who came to follow the stars rushed to the performance venue. The flow of people in the card pool exhibition area was visibly reduced by half.

Ke Jin and Su Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Gu Qianqian and the others hurriedly helped them to rearrange the booth frame which had been squeezed a little deformed. Qi went to the small compartment at the back with Uncle Zhou with a sad face to renew the card. Everyone did their job, and soon the card pool booth was decorated as new again.

"Aren't you going to the venue to watch the performance?" Ke Jin asked Gu Qianqian and Su Xiaolan.

"There are too many people over there. If I go there again, my feet might get stepped on." Gu Qianqian said with a bitter face.

"Ounuo, are you and your cousin not going to other exhibition areas?" Ke Jin looked at Ounuo and Eggers, "I heard that you two didn't go around much yesterday afternoon?"

"There are too many people. I don't want to go." Oloy said succinctly.

Eggers was fiddling with something with his head down and didn't hear Ke Jin's question at all, until Oloy nudged him hard. Then he suddenly raised his head and quickly hid the things in his hand behind his back, looking as panicked as a primary school student who was caught cheating.

"What's wrong? What's wrong??"

"Ke Jin asks you, do you want to go somewhere else?" Oloy repeated patiently, and at the same time looked at Eggers' hands hidden behind his back with suspicion - he didn't know what this guy was doing.

"Uh, no thanks...Oh no! Sure, sure! I'll go somewhere else!" Eggers stood up quickly, smiled awkwardly at Ke Jin, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd coming and going.

Ke Jin scratched his face. He always felt that Eggers was a little weird.

"Is your cousin worried about something?" Ke Jin looked at Ou Nuo puzzledly.

The boy's eyes wandered for a moment, he muttered quietly "Who knows", and then sat in the corner as if nothing had happened.

Ke Jin shrugged. There were few customers now, so he planned to take a break. But before he could walk in, two tall and beautiful figures suddenly flashed into the booth, and surprised and crisp voices rang out.

"Hi, Xiao Ke!! Hehe, after searching for a long time, I finally found your booth!"

Ke Jin looked up, was startled at first, and then showed a surprised smile.

"Eh? You two are here too?"
