Looking at the excited Chen Mu in astonishment, Copper teased, "It's rare to see you so active. Tsk tsk, are you picking up girls?"
But then he felt that what he had said was a little absurd, "You blockhead, I don't think any woman would take a fancy to you."
Chen Mu didn't pay any attention to Copper's teasing. Women?
He had never considered that.
He knew that Copper and he had the same attitude on that point. How could two poor kids like them get any woman's attention?
Although Chen Mu couldn't wait to sell the card play right away, he didn't go with Copper to find out what was going on, since Copper could take care of all that by himself.
Sure enough, Copper came back less than half an hour later.
Before he entered, he could hear him yelling excitedly, "Blockhead, Blockhead!
Get to work!
Get to work!
Ha, we've struck it rich again! "
As soon as Copper went to the little shops, he was immediately surrounded by the impatient shopkeepers.
Card play, they needed card play!
They were waving their bills, each of them shouting themselves hoarse!
Chen Mu was already familiar with making "Chance Encounter," and deftly fetched a pile of materials, and immediately got to work.
He was especially excited to make it that time, since the unfinished card play was like a pile of raw materials about to be piled up in front of him.
Hey, this stroke would be a bit of chen stone, and with a few more strokes, ha ha, it would be worth a pinch of yellow worm bone powder.
Under the lights, Chen Mu's eyes were like stars, struggling with the unfinished card play in front of him.
Behind him, Copper was drinking the "Clear Cloud Running Water", leisurely humming a little tune, just like a supervisor.
The order that time was a big one, a hundred sets of card plays, with a profit of seven hundred thousand, which would give each person a share of three hundred and fifty thousand.
Ai, what a happy life.
Copper was holding a bottle of "Clear Cloud Running Water", taking a contented sip, and glancing at Chen Mu who was scribbling away at the desk, he sighed to himself about the happiness of life.
Selling more than two hundred sets for a school was far beyond anyone's expectations. There really weren't a few rich people in this world.
But he also knew that the sales were nearing their peak, and that after selling those one hundred sets, he would decide not to make "Chance Encounter."
As long as he kept the sales of "Chance Encounter" in a tight spot, then once his next card play came out, as long as the quality was up to snuff, he wouldn't have to worry about sales.
It looked like it was time to prepare for the next card play. Copper was deep in thought as he drank the "Cloud Running Water".
Zuo Tingyi looked at the smoking apparatus and card play in front of him, and could only sigh.
The "Chance Encounter" fantasy card he was using as a test subject was something he had just bought.
By now, the price of each "Chance Encounter" card play had been hyped up to twenty-five thousand. According to the shopkeepers, the producer had already released the news that this would be the last batch of "Chance Encounter" card plays.
Stimulated by this news, the price of Chance Encounter skyrocketed.
A hundred was a negligible number for all the girls in Eastern Wei Academy who were crazy about "Chance Encounter."
By the time Zuo Tingyi got his hands on "Chance Encounter," the price had already been thirty thousand Oudi. But as far as he was concerned, it was just a small amount of money, not worth mentioning.
Not to mention 30,000, even if it was 300,000, he would not hesitate to buy it.
He also conveniently bought a set for his little sister, as an apology for the damage he had done to her "Chance Encounter."
Because of the timely appearance of those hundred "Chance Encounter," plus the incident with the school apparatus that had been damaged, the school's cracking team had been disbanded.
That incident had become one of the most sensational news stories of the year at Eastern Wei Academy.
But Zuo Tingyi didn't give up.
He didn't believe that he would be stumped by a trifling one-star fantasy card!
Although the last incident with the damaged apparatus had put him in a difficult position, he clearly didn't intend to let it go.
For someone who could make a three-star fantasy card to be unable to crack a one-star fantasy card was an extraordinary shame and humiliation.
If his adversary were a grandmaster, he would have let it go. But his adversary's reputation wasn't prominent, and he had never heard of such an unsophisticated name as "Blockhead."
Zuo Tingyi's usually handsome face had sunk to the point where it could be squeezed out of water.
Was this really a one-star fantasy card?
He really couldn't understand how such a trifling one-star fantasy card could have such destructive power. Up until then, eleven of the apparatus in his lab had already been destroyed, and he had lost more than one hundred and fifty million Oudi.
Those one-star fantasy cards were like a bunch of sensitive creatures with a strong sense of exclusivity. Once they discovered that they were being threatened, they would perish together with their adversary.
It really was a kind of magical fantasy card!
It was already completely beyond what he had learned, and it had already gotten to the point where he felt it was necessary to seek help.
In his home, there were quite a few outstanding card masters, who would certainly be able to unravel the mystery of it for him.
Zuo Tingyi pocketed the few remaining one-star fantasy cards, and prepared to go find Mei Da, the card master. Although his card making skills weren't the most awesome, his knowledge was undoubtedly the most profound in the manor.
As soon as he left the lab, the servant who had been waiting outside hurriedly trotted over.
"Young master, the old master wants you to go to his study."
Zuo Tingyi was taken aback. The study?
That was where his father received some important people, and Zuo Tingyi was rarely allowed to enter.
It looked like his father had some rather important business to look for him.
Outside the study, Zuo Tingyi tidied up his clothes a little, and took a deep breath, before banging on the door.
"Come in." A deep voice came from within the study.
Pushing open the door, Zuo Tingyi walked into the study.
"You've come."
Zuo Tianlin's expression didn't change, but the serious lines between his brows suddenly softened.
Zuo Tianlin's face was square, and his body was tall and sturdy. Even sitting there, he was as steady as a small mountain, with an imposing manner that didn't show anger.
"Yes, father."
Zuo Tingyi stood respectfully with his head bowed. Although it was just a glance, he still caught sight of his father's gray sideburns.
His heart ached for no reason at all.
Zuo Tianlin was sitting in front of the desk, sizing up his son for a long time before he opened his mouth, "Has the Star Academy's exchange student come to your school?"
"Yes.
He's already been here for two months. "Zuo Tingyi answered truthfully, although he felt it was strange, knowing that his father had something else to say.
Zuo Tianlin seemed to be thinking about something, and after a few seconds, he raised his head to ask, "What do you think about this matter?"
Although Zuo Tingyi's experience was shallow, he was extremely smart, and his father's way of asking had caught his attention.
Zuo Tianlin's gaze was burning as he stared at his son.
Zuo Tingyi immediately understood that there was something more to it than meets the eye, and said after some thought, "Given Star Academy's position and power, it is indeed a little strange for them to start an exchange with our school."
He suddenly raised his head, and his face showed some surprise, "What father means is … they are plotting something?
But … what is there to plot about Eastern Wei Academy? "
