Ning Qiyuan's auction of the card pool caused a great stir in Chikongzhou. For a time, not only were there endless discussions about it on the Internet, but people were also talking about it everywhere in real life.
"What on earth is he thinking?" Gu Qianqian was browsing the most popular discussion threads in the forum, exclaiming in amazement, "That's the gold-level card pool known as the 'No. 1 card pool in the Continent'! It's no exaggeration to say that it's the No. 1 card pool in Chikong Continent. He just said he would sell it?"
"It's quite strange." Qi looked at a newspaper at hand, the front page of which was about this incident. "Wasn't that guy still ambitiously joining forces with others a month ago? Why did he suddenly give up?"
"Before he left, he looked very unwilling." Uncle Zhou also looked puzzled. "I thought he would cause some trouble, but I didn't expect..."
Su Yufeng nodded silently and glanced at Ke Jin at the same time - when everyone was discussing, only Ke Jin didn't say a word, and his silence was a bit abnormal.
Ke Jin used the communicator to browse the forum for a while, and sent and received a few text messages. When everyone's attention was gradually focused on him, he slowly spoke.
"I want to sign up."
The other people didn't quite react: "What?"
"Isn't Ning Qiyuan going to hold a public auction?" Ke Jin said word by word, "I want to participate in the auction."
***
Ke Jin's decision was not made on the spur of the moment, nor was it an overestimation of his own capabilities, because after he learned that Ning Qiyuan was going to auction the card pool, Qing Buyu, who was far away in Qingyuzhou, quickly sent a message, hoping to use Ke Jin's name to participate in the auction.
This has nothing to do with the previous negotiations. This is another cooperation. In the auction conditions announced by Ning Qiyuan, in addition to the registration requirement of paying a deposit of three million star coins, there is also a very special requirement: those who participate in the auction must be local card users in Chikongzhou. Card users of the chain card pool stationed in other continents are not eligible to participate in the auction.
The card pools operated by Qingyu Group in Chikongzhou are all chain card pools, which obviously do not have the qualifications for auctions. However, with their financial resources, it is not difficult to find a local card agent who can bid on their behalf. However, the reason why Qing Buyu contacted Ke Jin was mainly due to a cooperation direction mentioned during their previous discussions: for some reasons, Qing Buyu intended to lead a team to be independent from Qingyu Group, but she did not want to operate a brand new card pool from scratch, but hoped to find a card pool and card agent with a certain foundation for joint operation. In other words, rather than simply injecting capital, she wanted to find a partner for a new company for herself.
Ke Jin's card pool has not been in operation for a long time, and its foundation is very good and its background is not complicated, which is very consistent with Qing Buyu's current needs. However, the only shortcoming is that the foundation of Ke Jin's card pool is still too weak. If it wants to serve as the cornerstone for Qing Buyu's independent development, it is still a bit weak.
[If I can bid for Ning Qiyuan's card pool, I will have a foothold in Chikongzhou.] Qing Buyu wrote in the text message, [He is a food card pool, and you are a snack card pool. The two belong to the same card pool system. There are similarities in both promotion and operation. This will be a good start for us to reach a cooperation.]
If Ke Jin had some uncertainty about the cooperation between the two parties before, he was immediately tempted when the other party proposed this condition.
Rather than simply injecting capital, he actually hoped that both parties would cooperate in the form of "partners", after all, this way he would have more initiative and decision-making power. However, the system task time was counting down day by day, and the development speed of the "partnership system" was definitely not as fast as the expansion of a large local financial group with strong support.
However, if I can take over Ning Qiyuan's card pool, my worries will no longer exist. The other party is the number one card pool in Chikongzhou. Its reputation, heritage, and strength are all there. Moreover, it also has some chain card pools in Chikongzhou. If I can take over all of them, do I still have to worry about not being able to complete the system task?

After the two parties hit it off, Ke Jin immediately began to prepare to participate in the auction.
Ning Qiyuan entrusted this auction to the official auction bureau designated by the State Card Pool Administration, because this was the highest-level card pool auction in the history of Chikong State. The official review of the bidders' information was very strict, and it was Ke Jin's first time to participate in an auction of this level. He had not obtained some qualifications that others had already obtained. He had to run between various approval agencies every day, and sometimes he could not come back until very late.
"Isn't it just a small gold card pool?" Eggers asked Oloy in confusion, "Why is the application process so complicated?"
After the Seven Continents Exhibition ended, Eggers returned to Chikong Island with Ke Jin and others, and is currently living in Ke Jin's Kachi courtyard.
Now the hut where Ke Jin lives has been expanded, and Qi no longer has to sleep in the living room, but has his own one-bedroom apartment. Eggs has also been assigned a separate single room. Ke Jin originally wanted Ounuo to sleep in a separate room, but the boy refused to agree, so Ke Jin had to let him continue to squeeze in the old bedroom with him.
"That's how it is here." Oloy was casually browsing the news on the communicator while eating snacks, "Especially the card pool. It's lagging far behind in every aspect. How can it compare with our Imperial Galaxy?"
Eggers looked at his cousin with great sympathy: "So you were like this before, always spending less time with Ke Jin than together? No wonder it's been more than half a year and you two haven't made any progress."
“…”
Oloy quickly glanced at the door to make sure that Qi and Bai Fan were not in the room, then turned around and glared at Eggers.
"How dare you say that to me?" Oloy was very unhappy. "Didn't you say you wanted to help me before? What's your progress?"
"I've been working hard!" Eggers said quickly, "but Ke Jin is too busy and ignores me. I have a lot of enthusiasm, but he won't cooperate. I can't do anything about it."
"How could he ignore you?" Oloye thought about it carefully, "Aren't your conversations usually very normal?"
"Ahem, that's not it." Eggers waved his hand and said excitedly, "I created dozens of small accounts, and I want to use virtual identities to add Ke Jin as a friend. After all, many people are more likely to open up to strangers. After I finish chatting with him with the small account, I will transfer this identity to you, and you can naturally use the new identity to develop a sweet relationship with him. It's a pity that Ke Jin has been ignoring me, but I think if I persist for a while, he will definitely respond!"
Oloy: “…”
Oloy: "...What did you say? Say it to me again."
So Eggers happily repeated it again, and at the end he added: "This plan is tailor-made for you. It allows you to retain your identity as 'Ouno' and still date the other person with your original personality. It's the best of both worlds, how great!"
“…………”
After a suffocating silence, Oloy asked in a very serious tone.
"Eggs, do you want to die?"
"No." Eggers said seriously, "I have a strong desire to survive." Otherwise, I wouldn't be so dedicated to helping you chase a man just to leave early!
"Are you stupid?" Olloy glared at Eggers fiercely, wishing he could punch him. "What a bullshit plan! Who told you to harass him with your trumpet?!"
He had heard Ke Jin complain about this a few days ago, saying that he suspected his information had been leaked, that there were always random people adding him as a friend, and that the messages they sent were all very weird and cheesy. At the time, Gu Qianqian even joked that he should just call the police... Oh my god, luckily he didn't! !
"I don't need your help." Olloy was so angry that he didn't even have the mood to teach Eggers a lesson. "The more you help, the more trouble you make! You might as well do it yourself!"
"That's fine." As if he didn't hear Oloy's disdain, Eggers suggested seriously, "In fact, I've thought about it. You have an advantage that no one else has. You don't need outsiders to intervene. This advantage is enough for you to deal with Ke Jin."
"Advantage?" Oloy looked at Eggers in confusion. "What advantage?"
"You have great luck in drawing cards, cousin!" Eggers patted the boy's shoulder excitedly, "Haven't you been to Medea? The witch love card pool there is so famous, I don't believe you haven't been there to draw. You must have that kind of high-star love card in your current card library, right? As long as you use it on the object of your affection, the other party will immediately be obsessed with you. Are you still worried about not making any progress?"
"...What do you mean?" Oloy's eyes narrowed dangerously, and his tone became cold. "Are you saying that I, the fourth prince of the imperial galaxy, can't catch a civilian by my own ability, and I have to rely on the power of cards?"
Eggers was shocked by the other party's suddenly gloomy face, and murmured after a while.
"I'm sorry." Eggles immediately wilted under the boy's fierce stare.
"Cousin, I really don't mean to look down on you... This is just a small suggestion."
"Hmph." Oloy glared at him unhappily, paused for a moment, and said slowly.
"That suggestion won't work because I don't have the kind of love card you're talking about."
...You have thought about using it, haven't you?
"You really didn't?" Eggers was very skeptical. "If you didn't want to draw the love card, why did you go to Medea?"
"I have been to Medea, but I was not yet eighteen years old." Oloy was a little angry when he mentioned this. "The people there said that minors cannot draw that kind of card, so I didn't get it at that time."
Eggers: “…”
Which card pool did you go to? There is a serious pure love card pool, you didn't go to the 18X love card pool, did you? ?
Of course, Eggers didn't have the courage to ask directly, so he could only test it out.
"It's not too late to go and smoke now," Eggers said, "Aren't you an adult already? My spaceship is docked near the space station outside the Azure Star. If we leave now, we can return in two weeks at the earliest."
Oloy looked at Eggers suspiciously: "Are you going to take this opportunity to slip away?"
"Of course not!" Eggers said seriously, "I'm thinking about your lifelong event, cousin! Although you have excellent conditions, if there is a shortcut, why not take a more convenient way?"
More importantly - until you get this done, I won't be able to return to my home in the Imperial Galaxy... QAQ I wish I could tie you two up and get the marriage certificate right away! !
Oloy remained silent for a long while before speaking grimly.
"Even if I can, I don't plan to smoke." He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, "I don't want to be liked by others in this way."
