Ke Jin looked at the card in Ounuo's hand, which was an SR "Butter Cookies".
"You just smoked once?" Ke Jin asked, "How about you try a few more times?"
The boy nodded solemnly, took out a few more coins from his pocket, and threw them in five times.
Results of five card draws: the first four were SSR, the fifth was SR.
"Look!" Oloy tapped the five cards vigorously, with a serious expression as if something serious had happened. "There is indeed a problem!"
Ke Jin: “…”
I drew five cards and four of them were SSR. What else can you not be satisfied with?
"Is the probability of getting an SSR card when you draw a card 100%?" Ke Jin asked weakly.
"Of course." The boy looked at Ke Jin with a surprised look, "You didn't know that?" "If your card pool wasn't so weak, the probability of me releasing an SSR would also be 100%. You didn't just realize it, did you?"
“…”
"Okay, I know this is beyond the imagination of a mortal like you." The boy waved his hand casually, "But you don't have to look at me in such admiration. It makes you look stupid."
...I'm clearly looking at you like a monster!
After calming down, Ke Jin looked at the two SR cards in Ounuo's hand again, his expression becoming serious: "Well, you drew six times today, and two of them were SR. Compared with 100%, this probability is indeed very abnormal."
"I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it. There must be something wrong with your card pool." Oloy said firmly.
"Is there something wrong with the card pool?" Ke Jin was surprised, and then he remembered what Bai Fan said before, that someone would secretly make trouble and reduce the probability of drawing cards in the card pool. He was stunned, "Someone tampered with the card pool? But...but the defense system didn't have any warning at all!"
"With that kind of crude arrangement, it can only protect against some stupid and dumb trash at best. How can it be useful if we encounter a master?" Oloy said disdainfully.
Ke Jin's heart was bleeding - the simple decoration... that's 600,000 yuan! Is my 600,000 yuan just going to go down the drain? QAQ
"I was fine when I drew the card yesterday at noon. The other party must have acted between yesterday afternoon and this morning." Oloy speculated.
During this period, the most suspicious person Ke Jin met was, of course,——
"The man from the evening?"
Oloy nodded: "I also think he is suspicious. I think there is a 99% chance that he has something to do with it...Did he draw any cards when he came here yesterday?"
"Yes." Ke Jin recounted the entire process of the man drawing the card yesterday. After listening, Ouloi thought about it carefully and asked.
"Do you remember the last SSR card he pulled out? Which card was it?"
"Uh..." Ke Jin tried hard to recall the situation at that time. Although it was just a flash, the pattern on the surface of the card at that time should have been -
"Butter cookies." Ke Jin confirmed.
Oloy looked at the cards in his hand—the two SRs happened to be “Butter Cookies”.
"It's confirmed. It was definitely that guy who did it." Oloy stroked the cards in his hand and laughed in anger.
Very good, you are brave enough to take action on the card pool that I first drew, and you are doing it right under my nose... Do you think I am dead!
"Take me to the card pool to have a look." Oloy said to Ke Jin, "He must have done something wrong, there must be traces left, let's go look for it."
***
In Ke Jin's eyes, Ounuo was just a child under ten years old, but when it came to the card pool and card knowledge of this world, he was obviously much more experienced than himself. So after granting Ounuo access to the card pool, Ke Jin was very self-aware and kept his mouth shut, listening to Ounuo's instructions throughout the whole process.
"Let's go to the card renewal room." After checking several functional areas in succession, Ounuo finally set his sights on the card renewal room.
Entering the card renewal room, everything was normal. The crystal pens and materials were neatly placed on the table. The dozen or so quicksand bottles on the wall were also intact. The colorful quicksand in the bottles emitted a quiet glow.
Oloy walked to the quicksand bottle of "Butter Cookie" and looked at it carefully. Although Bai Fan had filled all the quicksand in these bottles yesterday afternoon, perhaps because "Butter Cookie" had drawn an SSR card in the evening, the quicksand in this bottle was obviously much less than in the other bottles; if you look more carefully, the light yellow quicksand in this bottle is also dimmer than the other quicksand.
Oloy stared at the quicksand bottle silently for a while, and when Ke Jin didn't notice, he flipped his palm and a small card immediately appeared in his hand. Oloy gently pressed his palm on the bottle, and the card silently merged into the quicksand bottle.
The next second, something seemed to tremble slightly in the pale yellow quicksand, but it soon calmed down and there was no change.
Oloy sneered in his heart, waved to Ke Jin, and whispered a few words in the ear of the young man who bent over.
Ke Jin looked doubtful and asked uncertainly, "Is this all right? Are you sure?"
Oloy snorted, with a confident look on his face: "Of course, just wait and watch the show."
"Okay." Ke Jin nodded, "Let's do it this way."
***
After the two left the card pool and returned to the ground, they quickly went about their own business as if nothing had happened.
Today is Sunday. Although there is no "Sweet Train", many people have driven here from the city. Ke Jin opened the card pool normally and received these guests from afar with due diligence. Ou Nuo moved a small stool and sat under the shade of a tree beside the courtyard gate. While flipping through the novel he got from Gu Qianqian, he glanced at the people coming in and out of the courtyard gate intentionally or unintentionally.
Thus the day passed, and everything went peacefully.
In the evening, Ke Jin closed the gate early. Perhaps because he was too careless, he did not close the pool - opening the card pool for a long time would also consume some energy from the crystal sand pool, but not much, so some card users did not close the pool every day.
After dinner, Ke Jin watched TV with Ou Nuo for a while, then they washed up and went to bed early.
The night sky tonight was not as clear as the day before. Large patches of dark clouds floated in the sky, blocking the moon and stars. The night wind blew gently, and the bushes and grass in the yard rustled in the wind.
At midnight, in the center of the yard, in the card pool under the small pavilion, the originally calm water suddenly rippled.
Without any warning, a series of mournful cries suddenly came from the depths of the pool, instantly echoing throughout the courtyard. The sound was very strange, like a child crying, but also like a woman screaming, making people feel creepy.
But perhaps they were sleeping too deeply, Ke Jin and the others did not react at all. The room remained pitch dark, without any sound.
This strange sound lasted for about ten minutes, and suddenly, a white figure jumped over the wooden fence of the yard and fell into the yard. The other party was agile and did not stop after landing, and quickly ran towards the card pool.
The defense system sensed the intrusion of the uninvited guest. Wherever the person passed, defense cards lit up one after another. However, the dazzling light soon turned into star-like fragments like glass hitting a boulder and disappeared without a trace.
The visitor ran all the way to the front of Ka Chi unhindered. Although he had a thin black mask on his face, judging from his furrowed brows and slightly protruding forehead veins, this person was in a state of intense anger.
He reached his hand into the card pool, as if to pull something out of the water, but almost at the same time his hand touched the water, a strange blue light broke through from the bottom of the water and quickly wrapped around his outstretched arm.
This is? !
The blue light was like a nimble snake or a strange vine. It instantly wrapped around the man's entire body along his arms, releasing an electric current that could paralyze his nerves, nailing him firmly to the spot.
Six-star supernatural card Thunderbolt Lock? How could such a thing appear in such a place!
Although he was shocked, this man did not panic. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. His figure suddenly became blurred in the electric light and gradually became illusory.
As if sensing the opponent's resistance, the chains with blue electric light bound him even harder. Suddenly, with a clang, the man's body completely disappeared from the chains and appeared on the other side of the card pool. The Thunder Chain, which had lost its target, fell to the ground and gradually extinguished its light.
Although he knew that the owner of the yard had come prepared and had set up an ambush, the man was obviously unwilling to give up. The weeping in the pool had disappeared, and the small house in the northeast corner of the yard was still dark. He took a cautious step back while paying attention to the surrounding situation.
With a "puff" sound, as if a bubble was popped, it came from the soles of feet. The ground, which was solid and stable a moment ago, suddenly became sticky and soft, and sank rapidly like a quicksand swamp.
Another six-star supernatural card? Why are they so rich? ?
The soft ground quickly bound the man's feet. He tried to make his body blurry again, but it only blurred for a moment before returning to its original state - obviously, this quicksand ground had a restraining effect on his ability.
The Thunder Chain, which had been lying limp on the other side, was like a venomous snake that had smelled its prey. It began to flash with lightning again and moved towards him. This time, the man had no more strength to resist it and could only watch as the hateful chain once again wrapped around his body.
The numb feeling flowed freely across his skin again, and with it came an increasingly heavy feeling of pressure - he felt as if he was carrying a thousand-pound burden on his shoulders, and the roar of thunder rang in his ears. The strong pressure made his body shaky, and his knees could no longer bear the pressure, and he fell to the ground.
With a creak, the door in the northeast corner finally opened. All the lawn lights in the courtyard lit up, making the entire courtyard as bright as day. The man squinted his eyes slightly and saw the two people slowly walking in front of him in the backlight.
Ke Jin pulled the mask off the man's face, and Oloy nodded without surprise.
"It's you."
Kneeling in front of them was the silver-haired man they had met the previous evening. Although he was now a prisoner, he showed no panic or regret. He still exuded an extraordinary elegance and nobility, and looked at Ke Jin and Ouluoyi expressionlessly.
"Why did you take action against my card pool?" Ke Jin asked.
The man didn't say anything. His golden vertical pupils, which had turned into beasts, just stared coldly at Ke Jin.
"You won't talk? No problem, just kneel there." Oloy smiled, "Kneel for ten days or half a month. Oh no, kneel for a year or two. Let all the people who come to draw cards see the face of a card pool thief like you. Tsk tsk, let's see who dares to steal the card pool then."
The man simply closed his eyes, obviously too lazy to pay attention to Oloy's provocation.
The boy narrowed his eyes, and the chains that bound the man suddenly tightened a little, forcing him to bend his waist, presenting a humiliating posture as if he was about to crawl on his knees.
"Hmph." Oloy sneered maliciously and turned to Ke Jin.
"I'm going to go downstairs and catch his accomplices. You stay here and watch him." Oloy took two steps towards the card pool, then turned around and gave Ke Jin a warning.
"Stay away from him, this guy is very cunning."
Ke Jin nodded. After this incident, he was completely convinced by Ounuo and became more curious about his origins and identity, but the boy seemed unwilling to say more, so Ke Jin tactfully stopped asking and just followed his instructions when he didn't understand.
The boy's figure quickly disappeared in the card pool. Ke Jin kept the other party's instructions in mind and kept staring at the man kneeling in front of him vigilantly.
The night breeze blew gently through the courtyard. Perhaps feeling that the silence was too depressing, the silver-haired man finally opened his eyes and glanced at Ke Jin.
"It won't actually have much impact on your card pool."
"Hmm?" Ke Jin didn't understand what the other party meant.
"I mean, what I did actually has no effect on your card pool." Maybe it was because Ounuo left, but when he faced Ke Jin alone, the man's expression was obviously a little more relaxed than before, and his eyes became normal again. "Although you won't be able to draw the SSR of that card in the short term, after a month of recuperation, your card pool will return to normal, and SSRs can still be produced normally."
"So what?" Ke Jin was completely unmoved, and even found it a little ridiculous. "Because you think it won't cause much impact, you can just casually attack other people's card pools. Don't you think this kind of bandit logic is reasonable? Ha, then I'll beat you up and break your limbs, and then I guarantee that you will be back to being alive and kicking in a year, how about that?"
The silver-haired man was choked. He stared at Ke Jin for a while, then suddenly sighed and looked depressed.
"Actually... I have my reasons for doing this."
