Ke Jin felt that this was a huge misunderstanding.
It was true that he had drawn a very good card when he entered the city, but that didn't mean he was as lucky as Ounuo all the year round! It was just a lucky coincidence!
But no matter how Ke Jin explained, Mayor Kanler insisted on asking Ke Jin to go, and his words were earnest and anxious. According to him, the card pool he wanted Ke Jin to draw was a supernatural defense card pool in the city hall. The large protective shield card that Mobis City used to resist the invasion of meteorite flow was drawn from this card pool, but now there has been no high-star card in the card pool for a long time. If this situation continues for a while, the previous high-star protective shield card inventory will be exhausted, and Mobis City will be in danger.
"If I just want to try my luck, then of course it's fine, but... but Mr. Mayor, didn't you just say that this card pool can only be drawn ten times a day?" Ke Jin looked embarrassed, "What if I waste all ten chances and don't draw a good card, then... then what should I do?"
"Then continue drawing tomorrow." Momo interrupted, actively pushing Ke Jin out the door, "Just go and try it anyway. Even if you don't get a good card, we won't arrest you. What are you afraid of!"
***
In the end, Ke Jin was forced to go to City Hall with Mayor Kanler.
The City Hall is located in the city center of Mobis. Like other buildings in the city, it is only two stories high, but it houses all the city's municipal functional agencies. Because the local population is small and there are not many government affairs to be handled every day, all civil servants work here.
Perhaps the rumor had spread beforehand, for as soon as Ke Jin followed the mayor into the city hall, the staff at all the service windows on both sides of the hall, even some citizens who were handling business, all stopped what they were doing and stared at Ke Jin with expectant and eager eyes.
"It seems that there are really no good cards left in the City Hall's defense deck." Momo whispered to Ke Jin, "Everyone has high hopes for you, keep going!"
Ke Jin: “…”
Don't be like this! It's so stressful!!
Ke Jin followed the mayor to a door at the deepest part of the city hall, and behind the door was a spiral staircase. The three of them climbed up the stairs and finally entered a small room similar to an attic. In the middle of the room was a small platform, and inside the platform was a square pool. The blue water was calm and peaceful, like a crystal clear sapphire, emitting a quiet and beautiful luster.
"Mr. Ke Jin," Mayor Kanler looked at the black-haired young man with sharp eyes and made a leading gesture, "Please come in."
Ke Jin gritted his teeth and walked up the stairs, standing in front of the supernatural defense card pool.
This was the first time that Ke Jin had seen a supernatural card pool. From the appearance, it was not much different from an ordinary card pool. The only difference was that when you approached the card pool, you would feel a wonderful throbbing in your heart, as if the rhythm of your breathing was echoing the slightly flashing light in the pool water, giving people an inexplicable feeling of solemnity and sacredness.
The coins for drawing cards had already been delivered to Ke Jin. He looked at the ten golden Mobis City coins in his palm, took a deep breath, picked up one, and threw it into the blue pool.
As the coins were thrown in, Mayor Kanler and Momo, who were watching from the side, held their breath, especially the mayor - he stared at the ripples in the pool without blinking, and prayed in his heart: Almighty guardian spirit, please have mercy and don't let the hopes of our devout people be dashed again!
The coin fell into the water, and after a moment of silence, a bright golden light was projected from the bottom of the pool. The slightly rippling surface of the pool soon stirred up a vortex with the golden beam of light as the center. A radiant golden card seemed to be a small sun jumping out, and appeared above the pool water in an instant. The dazzling light illuminated the faces of everyone present - Momo was surprised, the mayor was crying with joy, and Ke Jin was... stunned.
Suddenly, loud bells of celebration rang out in the City Hall - this is a necessary ceremony when high-level cards are born in the card pool. Even though there is a thick door blocking the way, one can still hear the noisy and cheering voices of people downstairs.
“Ahhhhhh!! Ke Jin, you actually drew a six-star ability card!!” Momo rushed over excitedly and hugged Ke Jin happily, “You really are our lucky star, the real God of Europe!!!”
***
Something must have gone wrong, Ke Jin thought.
He then drew nine more times, and to his surprise, each time he drew a six-star card - this is the highest star level that can be drawn from this supernatural defense card pool - Momo looked at Ke Jin as if he was looking at a god, and the mayor burst into tears - the old man was really excited.
The ten consecutive bells also immediately announced this "achievement" to everyone in the city hall. If everyone was excited at the beginning, crazy in the middle, and wanted to kneel down in the end - my god! Ten high-star cards drawn ten times in a row? ! Who would dare to believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes? ! Who is this great god? ! Could it be that he is the reincarnation of the city guardian spirit, knowing that Mobis City is in a big crisis, so he came all the way to save these devout people? ?
Unlike everyone else who had gone completely crazy, after experiencing the initial confusion and shock, Ke Jin felt more panic as he looked at the ten golden six-star supernatural cards in his hand.
If drawing one is a coincidence, and drawing two is luck, then drawing ten is definitely a problem! After all, he is not like Ounuo who is born lucky! !
But why is this happening?
Could it be that after experiencing the hijacking incident, I survived the disaster and will have good fortune in the future?
…
But forget it! He was not naive enough to believe that such a good thing that fell from the sky could happen to him!
But the excited crowd could not understand the confusion and uneasiness in Ke Jin's heart. When Ke Jin was surrounded by the mayor and Momo and walked out of the attic and returned to the City Hall, thunderous applause immediately rang out in the hall. Everyone's eyes were burning, and they were so excited that they almost knelt down to Ke Jin on the spot.
Ke Jin: “…”
I feel more stressed than before...
Although Ke Jin felt uneasy, he had to admit that after drawing ten high-star cards and alleviating the defense crisis of Mobis City, he was instantly promoted from a newcomer to a super VIP guest, and the most intuitive preferential treatment was -
"Hmm? Mr. Ke wants to open a card pool here?" Mayor Kanler's eyes immediately sparkled with brilliance after listening to Momo's narration - he wished Ke Jin could stay here for a while longer, but he didn't expect that the other party also had this intention. This is simply a blessing from heaven! !
"I wonder what type of card pool Mr. Ke is going to open?" Mayor Kanler asked enthusiastically.
"Ah...it's snacks."
This type of card pool is unpopular in the local area, but the mayor is the mayor. He immediately praised it shamelessly: "Great! Our Mobis City needs this type of card pool! Mr. Ke, you came just in time! On behalf of the people of this city, I welcome you! Warm welcome!!"
"But it seems that there are no vacancies in the good locations in the city." Momo frowned in distress and winked at Ke Jin slyly, "If we want to open a pool, we may have to go to the suburbs..."
"No free time? How is that possible!" Mayor Kanler waved his hand, and the secretary who was waiting on the side immediately stepped forward. The old man whispered something in his ear, and the secretary nodded repeatedly, then quickly turned and left.
"Please rest assured about the location of the card pool, Mr. Ke. The result will definitely satisfy you." The mayor said with a smile, "Before that, if it is convenient for you, I will take you on a tour of the city of Mobis. It will also be considered as a friendly host. What do you think?"
***
It was like a dream.
After all, Ke Jin was an outsider and would probably have to stay here for a long time, so he gladly accepted the mayor's invitation for sightseeing, just as a way to check out the place in advance.
But he didn't expect that this sightseeing trip would involve a large group of people traveling together. The vehicle they were riding was also a very gorgeous open-top tour bus, with a police car leading the way in front. It was very high-profile. Passers-by stopped and watched wherever they passed. Ke Jin felt that this was not sightseeing at all, but a parade...
More shocking things are yet to come.
The parade... Oh no, halfway through the sightseeing route, Mayor Kanler, who had been sitting next to Ke Jin with a smile on his face, received a phone call. He told Ke Jin that Kachi was ready and asked him whether he wanted to continue the sightseeing or go to Kachi first to take a look.
"Let's go to the card pool!" The thin-skinned Ke Jin couldn't stand being watched by the citizens like a mascot in the car, and quickly expressed his opinion, "Career is more important!"
When they arrived at the gate of the snack card pool "carefully selected" by the mayor, Ke Jin's mouth suddenly opened into an O shape, and Momo was also a little surprised and looked at the mayor in surprise.
"Is this a card pool?" Ke Jin looked at the mayor in amazement.
"Yes." The old man nodded with a smile, "Of course, if you are not satisfied, we still have room for exchange."
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but..." Ke Jin looked at the courtyard in front of him with a complicated expression, "but, this is too good..."
If he had not been told that this was a card pool, he would have thought that this was a famous local tourist attraction - the spacious courtyard before him was just like the imperial garden in a palace, with green trees and red flowers, birds singing and flowers blooming, and even a small bridge and flowing water for viewing. The card drawing area was built like a small temple, and the card pool was enshrined on a high platform made of white jade. The surrounding walls were also carved with murals with beautiful meanings. Under the sunlight, the white jade walls seemed to have their own holy light. Just by looking at it from a distance, he had a feeling of being blessed with good luck. If there was such a thing as Feng Shui in this world, this place could definitely be called a place with excellent Feng Shui, a blessed land from heaven.
Compared to Ke Jin's amazement, Momo, who knew the inside story, thought a little more - he expected that the mayor would choose an excellent location to do a favor and retain Ke Jin to stay longer in order to please Ke Jin, but he didn't expect the mayor to be so generous as to unblock this "Spirit Garden" and use it as a card pool.
Legend has it that the guardian spirit of Mobis City was born in this "spiritual garden". Being able to operate a card pool here, the quality of the cards produced must be ranked first in Mobis City, even in the entire Federation galaxy. However, this "card pool paradise" has been banned for many years, and it will only be used in extremely rare circumstances. The reason is...
Thinking of this, Momo subconsciously looked at Ke Jin again.
Unaware of the boy's meaningful look, Ke Jin quickly returned to reality after experiencing the initial shock.
"Uh... Mr. Mayor, how much is the rent here?" Ke Jinke was not bold enough to think that this would be a free gift. He asked seriously while weighing his savings.
Mayor Kanler was stunned for a moment, but the secretary beside him reacted quickly and smiled at Ke Jin.
"Mr. Ke, you don't need to pay any extra fees to use this place, so why would you pay rent?" The secretary patiently explained, "As long as you can keep running the business, you can always use this card pool. This is the rule of our Mobis City."
There is actually such a good thing!
Although Ke Jin also noticed the phrase "as long as you can keep running the business", this made him more motivated - others have already provided such good conditions, what else can he complain about? Of course, he should run the business well and not let down such good intentions!
"However, this card pool has not yet been officially opened. It must be 'resurrected' by the Chosen One before it can be used." Mayor Kanler said while looking at Momo, "Momo, you should be able to..."
"There's no need for me to do anything." Momo waved her hand and looked at Ke Jin with a smile, "Ke Jin himself is also the Chosen One, he can do it himself."
The Chosen Ones are a rare existence in the outside world, but in a place like Mobis City, there are actually quite a few of them. However, when hearing about Ke Jin's new identity, Mayor Kanler still showed great amazement. He and his secretary talked to each other and praised Ke Jin a lot, almost to the point of praising him to bits.
Ke Jin: “…”
Suddenly I can understand why Ounuo is so arrogant... Ounuo is treated so well and is praised wherever he goes. After a long time, anyone would feel a little proud... =.
