He was giving orders to his card spirit in a very childish way. Judging from his appearance, the middle-aged adventurer, who was at least forty years old, was extremely excited.

He was wearing a weathered-looking leather jacket and a cowboy hat that has been popular in recent years, the shaggy beard that stretched from his temples to his chin looked extremely messy due to lack of care, but his hawk-like eyes made people subconsciously feel that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Luther could sense the aura of a fellow "hunter" from the other person.

While Luther was observing this middle school uncle, the card spirit that looked like a dwarf warrior waved its weapon and chopped off the head of the enemy's giant lizard.

Invisible energy gathered into the dwarf warrior's body, and his equipment suddenly became more gorgeous. The axe in his hand was also replaced with a war hammer inlaid with several runes.

"Oh! It's upgraded! It's upgraded!"

Seeing the Dwarf Warrior change his form, the opposing player was not angry about the death of his card spirit. Instead, he looked at the Dwarf Warrior with great excitement.

This card actually belongs to him, but he just lent it to the hunter on the opposite side temporarily.

He also didn't expect that the amulet he brought from his hometown could allow the Spirit Card to generate such a powerful spirit.

At the other card tables nearby, similar things were happening at the same time.

However, the spirits driven by those people were obviously not as strong as those of the dwarf warriors. After several rounds of attacks, not only were all the spirit monsters on both sides injured, but not a single one was upgraded.

"It looks like fun! Let's go buy some cards and try it out!"

In this world where the entertainment industry is so barren that it makes people sigh, even ordinary cricket fighting seems so interesting, let alone this kind of magical cricket fighting?

Before Luther could even hold himself back, he was dragged towards the counter by the fire elemental girl Molly.

After Jialian and others arrived in Storm Bay, Carl gave them a sum of resettlement money.

So in terms of wealth, Molly is richer than Luther.

After asking the bartender who was selling cards about the price, she sighed that 10 copper coins for a card pack was very cheap, and bought five packs for herself and Luther.

"I have some gadgets in my dormitory that I brought from Obsidian City. Maybe they can make the spirit of the card change in some different ways. Do you want to come to my room and print cards with me later?"

With a bright smile, Molly invited sincerely.

"Hurrah!"

Without any precautions, Luther agreed easily.

…

"Isn't 10 copper coins a bit too cheap? The material for that card costs almost 1 copper coin."

On the second floor of the Lai Sheng Bar, the lady boss, who was actually just the lobby manager, Mitris told Karl about the pricing of the card packs somewhat unwillingly.

Karl glanced at her and gave this short-sighted former enemy and current companion a serious education:

"When doing business, you can't just focus on the present. Do you want to earn only the money of these adventurers in Storm Bay? I have contacted the halflings who entertain the Dragonmark Family. They will help promote this tabletop card game. You can go and talk to them when the time comes."

Carl bought pirated card packs at 10 yuan a pack from elementary school to the third grade of junior high school in his previous life. Later, he had to say goodbye to those three boxes of Yu-Gi-Oh cards because of moving. After that, he only bought an original and authentic one once when he just started working.

Compared with genuine products, pirated card packs are undoubtedly more popular.

One of the most important reasons is that piracy is cheap.

This game has just been born, and now is the time to exchange profits for influence.

Things that sell in large quantities at low prices will definitely become popular faster than expensive things. After all, not everyone can afford to buy things with silver or even gold coins.

Looking at the people on the first floor buying card packs one after another from the counter, she felt like her heart was bleeding.

Seeing her like this, Carl quickly asked about the Rose Sect.

"Have you found any traces of those Rose Cult members who sneaked into Storm Bay recently?"

The previous crackdown in Storm Bay was aimed at driving away those corrupted drow. As a platform for providing an environment for intelligence exchange, the Next Life Bar naturally also assigned tasks to those intelligence dealers and brokers.

Anticipating this serious matter, the distress on Mitris's face finally eased a little.

"According to intelligence, they have built a small camp in the wilderness. Some adventurers encountered them when they returned and spent the night there.

After what happened before, their leader seemed to have changed and was no longer so aggressive in seeking the vitality of others. "

Recalling the intelligence collected during this period, Mitris did not embellish it, but directly stated what the intelligence dealers reported.

She was afraid that her subjective judgment would interfere with Karl.

After hearing this, Carl pondered for a while, then stood up from his seat.

"Is there anything else you need? If not, I'll go back first."

Looking at Mitris, Karl said something in a fake polite manner.

But Mitris was a little impolite. After hearing what he said, she quickly reported all the other recent problems in the store.

Karl shot himself in the foot. He rubbed his forehead, said "I know", and left.

Looking at his leaving back, Mitris, who had looked distressed just now, raised her chin again like a victorious peacock.

Soon, Carl arrived at the Sheriff's Office run by Lisanna.

With the addition of that group of drow and fire elementals, the number of sheriffs here has increased significantly.

After saying hello to the ranger captain stationed here, he found the herdsmen he had recruited in the Underdark.

The drow in this tribe are extremely satisfied with their current lives. They have never imagined that one day they would not only be able to easily get food to fill their stomachs, but they would even be able to indulge in food with a lot of sugar and honey.

Storm Bay is a paradise in their eyes.

"It's best not to eat too much sweets at one time, otherwise you may get cavities."

Looking at these drow with their mouths full of candies, Carl gave his suggestions with a headache.

But these guys just nodded solemnly, and had no intention of spitting out the candy in their mouths.

After taking a few deep breaths in silence, Carl took out the insect-control stick he had prepared and took them to the training ground to demonstrate it.

After demonstrating the techniques of using the insect stick, Carl asked the former drow matron seriously:

"If I can provide sufficient equipment, how long will it take you to train a group of herdsmen for me?"

After thinking for a moment, the drow held up four fingers and said, "Four months! But this is the time I got based on my previous experience. If you can provide them with enough food and I train them continuously, it will probably only take 20 days."

Due to the problem of food shortage, this tribe will deliberately control the number of professionals, but if the food supply is relaxed, they can actually train rangers very quickly.
