The whole audience was silent.
Bai Fan looked at the golden SSR in the card pool and was slightly dazed.
He is not actually a local, but lives in the neighboring Rainbow City. Yesterday, he came with his father to visit relatives, and was supposed to go back today, but the relative's daughter, Bai Fan's cousin, said that an SSR first draw card pool appeared in Qixing City, and today was the first day of opening, so she enthusiastically invited them to go and take a look.
Unable to refuse the kindness, the father and son came with this cousin who worked in the card pool bureau. Unexpectedly, Bai Fan had good luck and actually drew an SSR card in the first shot.
After the silence, there were soon intermittent gasps from all around. One could vaguely hear someone saying, "Director! Take medicine first! Hold on! You have to hold on this time!" and so on. There was a buzz of discussion everywhere.
President Sun and his group were also a little confused: Is this card pool really that powerful? Not only is the first draw an SSR, but the probability of getting a high-level card is also not low? ?
Could it be that the card pool resources in Qixing City...are really going to usher in spring again?
Bai Fan had no idea what the people around him were thinking. He reached out his hand, pinched the flying gold card with his slender fingers, and lowered his head to examine it carefully.
Although Bai Fan is not a card master, he is not a layman either - he is a card master who is about to graduate from the Advanced Card Master College, majoring in card making.
The moment his fingers touched the card, Bai Fan had already judged with the perception of a professional - the cards produced in this card pool were of good quality.
The academy that Bai Fan attended was not on Azure Star, but on Aquarius Star, the capital of the Aquarius Galaxy. The card pool system there was much more developed and complete than on Azure Star, and the government paid much more attention to the card pool resources than on Azure Star. Moreover, as the capital of the galaxy, there were a large number of extremely capable transporters, and SSR first draw card pools were not uncommon on Aquarius Star.
Because of regional differences, on a large planet with good ecological resources in the card pool, even if it is an SR first-draw card pool, the quality of the cards may be much better than that of a small planet with poor ecological resources. So at the beginning, Bai Fan didn't have high expectations for the SSR first-draw card pool on this Azure Star. Unexpectedly, the other party gave him a surprise - the quality of the card in his hand was not inferior to the cards produced by those famous card pools he had seen on Aquarius.
The front of the card has a picture of the actual object, which is a transparent biscuit barrel filled with animal biscuits. For some reason, Bai Fan, who is not interested in snacks, actually has the urge to taste it immediately just by seeing the picture.
Suppressing this strange feeling, Bai Fan turned to the back of the card, which had line after line of card descriptions and attributes. The first part was no different from the card descriptions he had seen before, but the last line had an extra line of small print.
——[Good luck and may all your wishes come true].
What's this?
Bai Fan frowned slightly and was about to look more carefully, but the line of words slowly disappeared under his gaze, like water vapor evaporated by the scorching sun.
???
It was the first time that Bai Fan saw the attribute description of a card change after it was drawn, and he almost thought he was seeing things.
"Fanfan! You are so awesome!"
A familiar voice came from behind him. Bai Fan turned around and saw his cousin Bai Ran running over happily, followed by a handsome and sunny black-haired young man. Bai Fan knew this person. During the opening ceremony just now, his cousin kept talking about him in his ear, saying that he was the card master of this snack card pool, one year younger than him, and his name seemed to be Ke Jin.
"Congratulations." Ke Jin said sincerely, and extended his hand enthusiastically - he was just here as a host to congratulate the guest who drew the SSR card, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to get some good luck...!
Bai Fan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ke Jin, his face still expressionless.
"Thank you." Bai Fan's voice was as cold as his temperament. "Am I the first person to draw an SSR card from this card pool?"
Uh... this is really not the case. Ke Jin subconsciously glanced at his room.
If we say that the first SSR card was drawn from this card pool, it must be Ounuo. But this is a long story, so in the end Ke Jin chose an "appropriate" statement.
"Well... you're the first person to draw an SSR card after the official opening."
"Congratulations, young man." Director Tai also came over, his eyes full of relief and joy, as if he was the one who drew the SSR card. "I often heard Xiaobai say that she has a cousin who is studying at the Advanced Card Master Academy. Is that you?"
Bai Fan looked at his cousin calmly, and the latter stuck out her tongue and made a face.
"Yeah." Although Bai Fan has a cold personality, he is still very respectful to his elders. "I am currently studying at the TKS Card Master Academy in Aquarius. I will graduate in half a year."
TKS Card Master Academy is considered to be one of the top card master academies in the entire Aquarius galaxy. Card masters who graduate from here are all sought after by all the major high-level card pools in the galaxy. It is generally difficult for a small planet like Azure Star to retain such high-level talents.
"Young man, you have a bright future." Director Tai nodded with emotion, suddenly looked in another direction and smiled faintly.
"President Sun, do you still need to verify the authenticity of this card?"
President Sun and his group all had unnatural expressions - even if they had prejudices in their hearts, the facts showed that there was indeed no problem with this new card pool, and it even had great potential. If they were asked to characterize the resources of this card pool with an impartial attitude, they would definitely be able to rate it as "excellent".
"We just came here to let you know that we have official business to attend to, so we'll leave first." President Sun said stiffly, turned around and left.
Of course, the main reason is that the yard is too dilapidated. Dust will fly everywhere when people walk around. He doesn't want to continue collecting dust and eating dirt here!
"President Sun, is it that difficult to admit that there is still hope for the card pool resources in Qixing City?" Director Tai suddenly said, "The emergence of the SSR first draw card pool is actually a good thing for you, isn't it?"
The surroundings gradually became quiet. President Sun paused, but he didn't say anything in the end. He quickly disappeared outside the courtyard with his subordinates.
"Director Tai, do they have a bad relationship with your Kachi Bureau?" Ke Jin asked in a low voice.
"It used to be very good, but six years ago..." Director Tai suddenly paused and changed the subject very abruptly, "Well, I think I'm lucky today, I'll go draw some more, haha, you young people continue chatting."
Ke Jin watched Director Tai leave, and turned around to see Secretary Xiao Bai, who had already obtained the new SSR card from her cousin. She was looking at it over and over again, unable to let it go, and kept muttering to herself. Ke Jin suspected that she was secretly praying for good luck...
"Wow! It's actually a circulating card!" Secretary Xiao Bai said in surprise, pointing to the attribute column. Ke Jin's card pool only has a 10% chance of drawing a circulating card, and the SSR card that Bai Fan drew actually has the attributes of a circulating card, which is rare among the rare ones.
"I can take it back to Youyou!" Secretary Xiaobai said happily. The bound card can only be used by the person who draws the card, but the circulating card can be used by everyone.
Bai Fan's frozen handsome face finally showed a hint of relaxation, and the corners of his tightly-stretched mouth slightly raised an arc: "Yes."
"Who is Youyou?" Ke Jin asked curiously.
"It's my sister." Bai Fan said, "but she..."
He opened his mouth but didn't say anything more. Ke Jin saw that Secretary Xiao Bai's eyes dimmed slightly, so he tactfully stopped asking.
***
The appearance of SSR cards has triggered another wave of card-drawing activities, making the scene lively again.
Different card pools have different probabilities of extracting high-level cards. Ke Jin's card pool was able to extract SSR cards on the first day of its opening, which shows that his card pool is of good quality and has a higher probability of producing high-level cards than the same-level card pools. The future is limitless. An influential and excellent card pool is of great benefit to improving the status of the card pool bureau in the local government, so the people in the card pool bureau are the most excited.
Director Tai Zhaoji was naturally the happiest person. He repeatedly stated that he would definitely help Ke Jin obtain government support funds, at least... at least he had to repair this broken yard first.
The party was lively until noon, when everyone left one after another. Gu Qianqian invited Ke Jin to go out for dinner to celebrate, but Ke Jin didn't want to leave Ou Nuo alone at home, so he politely declined.
After lunch, Ke Jin helped Ounuo change the bandage on his wound, and after applying the medicine, he urged the boy to take a nap. After the other fell asleep, Ke Jin came to the empty yard alone and followed the card pool into the other side of the space.
***
After successfully completing the system's [Achieve 100 Draws from the Card Pool] task, the task rewards have been distributed to the main control room of the card pool space.
Ke Jin was not in a hurry to check the rewards. He first called up the card pool account book from the control room.
Through the account book, you can clearly see the income of the card pool on that day. The record shows that a total of 175 people drew cards today, and the total number of card draws is 913, which means that the value of star coins invested in the card pool is 9130 points.
The card pool will convert half of the star coins into crystal sand energy, store it in the crystal sand pool, and use it for various energy consumption in the card pool. However, this conversion is not a one-to-one relationship. The star coins that have been drawn from high-level cards will convert much more energy than ordinary cards. For example, today Bai Fan drew an SSR card, and the energy converted from his ten star coins is almost a hundred times that of others.
The other half of the star coin value invested in the card pool will be directly transferred to the card user's savings crystal card. 9130 points cut in half, Ke Jin's crystal card income today is 4565 star coins, although it seems not bad, but after deducting the 3,000 star coins to be returned to Gu Qianqian, the remaining money is only enough for half a month's living expenses.
Ke Jin closed the account book and turned on the receiver in the control room. Inside, there was an exquisite gift package lying quietly. With a light tap of his hand, the gift package turned into countless star sands and dissipated. At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his mind -
[Task Completion Rewards:
1. Two "Pastry Category-Snack Card" recipes will be given away randomly.
2. The crystal sand pool is fully charged once for free. Note: This can be combined with the last novice reward. Currently, there are four full-charge rewards on standby. 】
[New task released: Please achieve a cumulative 5,000 draws from the card pool within one month. Current count: 913 draws have been accumulated.]
Ke Jin almost vomited blood.
The previous mission was worth 100 draws, but this time it skyrocketed to 5,000 draws... The inflation is too severe!
And it has to be completed within a month... Today, the card pool brought a lot of people to support, but less than a thousand draws were made. The remaining four thousand draws have to be completed within a month, so on average, at least a hundred draws must be completed every day. Can he really do it? QAQ
"What will be the punishment if I fail to complete the task?" Ke Jin asked the system with a bitter face.
[It will be counted once in the failure file. After three counts, the host will be immediately sent back to the original world. ]
...To put it bluntly, if you fail three times, you're doomed! !
In his heart, he silently stamped a "must complete!!" on this mission, clenched his fist to encourage himself, then left the control room and went to the card-making room.
***
The "card-making room" is not big, a bit like an independent small workshop. There is a desk and a large shelf in front of the desk, on which many materials for making cards are placed in compartments.
According to the system, in the future, as the card pool is upgraded, the size of the card making room will also expand. Not only will the number of tables increase, but the card making materials will also be enriched, which can meet more advanced card making needs. However, this workshop can only provide relatively basic functions at present.
The two recipes for the "Pastry-Snack Cards" rewarded by the system were quietly placed on the table. Ke Jin picked them up and saw that one was "Honey Caramel Cookies" and the other was "Almond Thousand Layer Puff Pastry". Both were basic cards, which meant that they ranged from NN cards to SSR cards - but the premise was that you could make them.
Flipping through a formula, Ke Jin was confused after a few glances - what on earth is written here? ? What material ratio, what crystal sand injection ratio, what line thickness change, what second form conversion, I can't understand it at all! !
Ke Jin gritted his teeth and read it for a while, then finally closed the recipe booklet with his face covered.
This is troublesome...Does he need to enroll in a card maker academy to learn some card making knowledge? Or should he directly hire a card maker like Gu Qianqian did?
But he was already short of money for food, so if he wanted to hire a card maker, he would have to be even more frugal...QAQ
