In the end, Marshal Kless and Marshal Luo Xiu got their wish and followed Ke Jin to the new card drawing area.
The new card drawing area is not far from the area currently in use, separated by a fence and a vertical board. In order to avoid being discovered by other customers, Ke Jin deliberately led them in through the back door.
"The partition can block the light when the cards come out of the pool, but it is not very soundproof." Ke Jin once again whispered, "Please try to keep quiet when you draw the cards later."
"Yeah." Everyone shut their mouths and nodded.
Ke Jin walked to the card pool and operated it for a while. The originally silent pool water began to ripple and glowed with bright light.
"Okay." Ke Jin nodded to the marshals and added while making way.
"The probability of new cards coming out of this card pool is higher, and according to past experience, the earlier you draw, the easier it is to draw new cards." He looked at the few people who had not yet lined up, "Who will go first?"
Marshal Erfa stepped forward first, but was grabbed by someone just after he took a step - one grabbed his arm, and the other grabbed his clothes, with firm and determined expressions.
Efa: "..."
Erfa: "Let go of me, both of you."
"Why should you go first?" Marshal Luo Xiu said.
"Because I got here before you." Erfa's voice was terribly cold. "First come, first served. Can't you even understand this principle with your pitiful IQ?"
"In that case, I should go first." Marshal Kless said as he stepped forward, "I am the first person to step onto this platform."
"Bullshit!" Erfa stretched out his long legs to stop Kles from passing him and heading towards the card pool. "Why didn't you say that I came to the Spirit Garden several days earlier than you guys?"
"Yeah, so what if I'm ranked a little behind this time?" Marshal Luo Xiu immediately took advantage of the situation, even suppressing his nausea and "praising" his mortal enemy, "You're so lucky that you got second place in the lottery. How could you miss this little bit of chance?"
Erfa grabbed Luo Xiu, who wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze to the front, and said in a dangerous tone: "I have been in too much contact with you two unlucky guys who are ranked at the bottom today. My luck has become worse... Why don't you two consciously queue up at the back!"
"Who do you say is the unlucky one!" Kless, who had been complaining about his "bad luck", was stepped on a sore spot and suddenly became a little angry and embarrassed.
"Shh!" Ke Jinsheng was afraid that the guests outside would hear the noise here, so he quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and tried to ease the tense atmosphere at the scene, and spoke in a low voice.
"Although those who draw the cards first are more likely to draw new cards, it's not that much..."
He stopped talking midway.
Because it's too late.
No one knew who started the fight first. The three people who were originally wrestling with each other, unable to speak out or argue, simply adopted a more direct and straightforward solution - they wrestled with each other.
"Don't do it!"
Ke Jin was shocked, but as an ordinary person, how could he hold back three strong marshals? Fortunately, Marshal Rhea acted in time, and the three men with strong arrogance were barely separated.
A long time later, when Ke Jin had become the top card user in the interstellar world and had opened up the card pool to the entire universe, this episode was accidentally revealed by Marshal Rhea during an interview. Once reported, it attracted countless onlookers. Not only was it made into a short story and widely circulated, it even made the headlines in the interstellar world...
Of course, this is all a story for later. At this time and place, the dispute that almost escalated into a fight ended with a draw to decide who would draw the card first - it was Ke Jin who proposed it.
The two unlucky people, Kless and Luo Xiu, were very unhappy with this solution, but the owner of the card pool spoke personally, and they almost ruined the place just now. Knowing they were in the wrong, they could only agree to it with grievances.
The result was no surprise - it perfectly reproduced the order of the previous military draw.
Ephas was first, Rhea second, Rosu third, and Ceres fourth.
Marshal Kless, who was at the bottom again: “…………”
It was as if God was trying every possible way to tell the unresigned Kless that he was unlucky. Epha and Rhea, who were in the front, drew most of the new cards, and Luo Xiu also drew a few. When it was Kless's turn, he didn't draw any new cards until the new card pool was emptied.
I didn’t even get to draw the spicy strips.
...It couldn't be more tragic.
Now even Luo Xiu didn't know what to say. Although he drew spicy chips and spicy strips, they were exclusive cards and could not be transferred to Kless.
Anyone who is not blind can see the deep sense of loss and despair on the face of this iron-blooded man. Ke Jin even felt that he could burst into tears at any time. He quickly took out a few spicy snack cards and handed them to Marshal Kless.
"Mr. Marshal, please accept it."
The man was still in a trance from the heavy blow. He looked at the card, then at Ke Jin, and asked in confusion: "What is this...?"
"I personally give this to you." Ke Jin smiled and stuffed the cards into the other person's hand. "This is a little gift from me. Thank you for your support and love for my cards."
Kless finally came to his senses, and a huge ecstasy swept over him in an instant. This was probably what it felt like to take a step from hell into heaven.
"Thank you!!" He excitedly shook Ke Jin's hand, almost crying with joy, "Thank you Ke Jin Kashi!!"
Ke Jin always had a gentle smile on his face: "If people in your galaxy like spicy food very much, when you come to draw cards, I can appropriately increase the probability of spicy snacks." This is one of the card user's permissions. Although the specific operation will be a bit troublesome, it can still be done.
Kless almost cried.
Angel!! He screamed madly in his heart.
Envoy Kojinka is simply an angel!!
***
After receiving the cards given by Ke Jin and the promise of increasing the probability of drawing cards, Marshal Kless lived an extremely happy life in the next few days.
He was even so excited that he couldn't help but reveal the fact that the probability of drawing cards had increased to his subordinates, which was met with unanimous cheers. The people who were originally a little depressed because they were the last to draw cards were also waiting for the day when it would be their turn, just like their leader.
Amid the restless waiting and excited anticipation, the days passed in a flash and it was the day before the Lion Galaxy Army card draw.
That afternoon, the troops from the Sagittarius Galaxy, where Marshal Luo Xiu was, went to draw cards. They returned with a full load and were all in high spirits with rosy faces when they returned to the base. Infected by them, Marshal Kless became more imaginative and expectant about drawing cards the next day.
After dinner, Kless, who was planning to return to the office to continue handling official business, suddenly received a notice requiring all marshals to go to the conference room for an emergency meeting.
The marshals, including Kress, were not surprised when a high-level meeting was convened temporarily: there had been news before that Major General Leng Yan, who was out investigating the incident, would most likely return tonight.
But when they walked into the conference room, they were still a little surprised - in addition to Major General Leng Yan, there were two executive officers from the Federation Galaxy General Military sitting at the top of the conference room. Generally, the General Military would only send people to come when it involves major matters or announces the transfer of senior personnel.
Everyone took their seats one after another. This meeting was chaired by Major General Leng Yan. After a brief opening speech, Major General Leng Yan quickly got into the main topic of the meeting.
"We have already investigated the rumors of 'artificial superpower card pool synthesis' circulating in the Federation Galaxy."
He paused slightly, his expression becoming more serious.
"The conclusion is: this is not a rumor, but true." The young major general in military uniform said in a deep voice.
"And this is not just a single successful case. Through investigation, we found that many families in the twelve star systems were involved in the secret synthesis of artificial card pools."
There was an uproar in the conference room. On the one hand, the fact of artificially synthesizing a card pool of supernatural powers was incredible. After all, in the past, the properties of a card pool were predetermined and could not be changed. On the other hand, it made everyone present have some bad associations.
When the "Devil King" first appeared, one of the means he used to deceive people was to promise that those who followed him would gain the ability to transform their ordinary card pool into a supernatural card pool.
"We haven't been able to find out the specific synthesis method, but we roughly know that one of the ways to artificially synthesize the supernatural card pool is to continuously merge the pools to screen the high-quality card pools. By dropping a 'seed' in the high-quality card pool, it is possible to transform it into a supernatural card pool."
"Where does the 'seed' come from?" Marshal Ghani asked.
Major General Leng Yan shook his head slowly: "The families involved in this matter are all powerful. They have kept the relevant information strictly blocked, and we have not been able to obtain more detailed and reliable intelligence."
He did not elaborate, but everyone understood the underlying meaning in his words—this investigation encountered considerable resistance from various forces.
The Twelve Federation Galaxy does not adopt a centralized system like the Imperial Galaxy. The Federation headquarters established is more of an alliance than a government. The internal relations are complicated, and different political parties and factions safeguard the interests of different forces. The General Military Headquarters is a relatively independent department, but many actions will be constrained by forces from all sides.
"Moreover," Major General Leng Yan sighed softly, "there is no evidence that the Demon King was involved in the creation of this artificial superpower card pool, so the most we can do is warn and monitor the major families, and we cannot directly participate or intervene."
"Bullshit!" Marshal Luo Xiu was so angry that he slammed the table. "When the 'Demon King' just started to show signs of recovery, there was news about the artificial synthesis ability card pool. I won't believe that there is no connection between the two!"
The two military executives who had been silent finally spoke.
"We are working hard to lobby the heads of the Federation galaxies, hoping that they will pay attention to this matter and allow the military to have the authority to conduct an in-depth investigation." One of them said.
"We must not sit idly by until our lobbying is effective." Another person spoke up next, his eyes sweeping across the crowd, finally stopping at the two people sitting at the end of the conference table.
"After discussion and voting by the military, Marshal Ghani and Marshal Kless, please each form an investigation team and lead them in person to conduct a secret investigation into the two most suspicious artificial superpower card pools we have selected."
The two men immediately stood up and accepted the order.
"yes!"
Major General Leng Yan revealed some details of the investigation, and the two executive officers also supplemented them. After the report was completed, this temporary meeting was declared over and everyone stood up and left.
Marshal Kless has always been decisive in his actions. Once he received the new mission, he gave up the idea of returning to his room to rest and went straight to the office, preparing to select the elite team members who would go on the secret investigation with him overnight.
The list was just half drawn up when there was a knock on the office door. Kless answered and it was his adjutant who pushed the door open.
"Marshal, the two military executives just sent a message saying that the plan has changed. The General Military Headquarters requires you and Marshal Gani to make preparations tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."
Marshal Kress had experienced similar things before. He nodded and said calmly.
"Okay, I understand."
After the adjutant left, Marshal Cress sped up the process of drawing up the list. After the list was drawn up, he immediately called the adjutant and asked him to notify the relevant personnel according to the list and prepare for the trip tonight.
Everything was arranged properly, and Marshal Kress breathed a sigh of relief. His tense nerves slowly relaxed. He subconsciously took out a half-eaten bag of spicy chips from the drawer, and while rewarding himself with satisfaction, he let his thoughts wander.
Well, we are setting off early tomorrow morning. They are in such a hurry. It seems that the military really takes this matter seriously.
…
Tomorrow morning.
etc.
Tomorrow morning?!
Marshal Kress's face turned pale instantly. He jumped up from his seat and looked at the calendar on the wall.
On the calendar page with various things marked on it, on tomorrow's date, there is a sign circled in bold red pen, with a small note next to it - "Latiao Day".
“…………”
Marshal Creuse was frozen, dazed.
He seemed to see his favorite spicy strips and slices, flapping their little wings and flying away from above his head...
There was dead silence in the office. After a long time, a heart-wrenching wail was suddenly heard.
"What kind of rubbish luck do I have!!!"
