What era is it, still traditional card making

Ye Qiong stood up without saying a word.

Suddenly, everyone in the class turned their attention to him, looking at this indifferent boy with curiosity.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, he slowly walked up to the podium.

Ning Shanhai was also shocked. After he took the initiative to call out to the young man, he thought he would continue to be subjected to the other party's cold violence.

But he didn't expect that the other party would respond this time.
For a moment, Ning Shanhai didn't know what to say.

As an adult, Wang Hao acted very calm. He looked at the boy who walked up to the podium with a little satisfaction and nodded secretly.
It was just as he thought. Although Ye Qiong looked a little cold, he was actually a good person.

The reason why the boy has become what he is now is probably the car accident that took away his parents.

Wang Hao took the initiative to help, handed a few boxes to Ye Qiong, and then said:

"Here, take it and distribute it to the classmates."

Ning Shanhai saw this and immediately realized what he should do. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed a few boxes, and said:

"I'll help too."

Soon, all thirty-four boxes were distributed.
Ye Qiong returned to his seat and took a look at the box in front of him.

"Students, please listen to me, don't open the box yet"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qiong had already opened the box and looked at the head teacher with extremely clear eyes.
Did I make a mistake?
At this time, Wang Hao was also looking at Ye Qiong. When he saw that it was him who opened the box, the words of rebuke in his mouth suddenly disappeared and turned into:

"It's okay to open it. You'll see what's inside sooner or later anyway."

At this time, there was an extra box in front of him. It was distributed by the school to the teachers for demonstrations to the students.

Wang Hao slowly opened the box and said to the students below:

"I believe some smart students have already guessed what is in the box. Yes, this is the deck you will use for the duel."

He took out a card from the top and showed it to the students below.

What he was holding in his hand at the moment was a card called [Dark Sealing Sword], a blue-level magic card.

Seeing that the students had already focused their attention, Wang Hao continued:

"Before that, I would like to ask the students, how much do you know about card masters and the cards they use?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students' emotions were immediately ignited. They chattered and made the classroom a little noisy.

Wang Hao patted the table and said:

"Be quiet. I'll call the roll. Ning Shanhai, you go first."

The little fat boy was also a little speechless. Is this class teacher addicted to using tools?
Why do you always call him to do something when there is something going on?
Although he felt a little helpless, he still put on a very happy look and answered the teacher's question:
"Teacher Wang, I know a lot. A card deck is like a gun in the hands of a soldier to a card master. It is their indispensable weapon. A card master who loses his card deck is no different from an ordinary person.

There are three types of cards: magic cards, trap cards, and monster cards. Monster cards can be divided into ordinary monster cards, effect monster cards, and extra monster cards.

Ning Shanhai chattered a lot. What he said was very systematic. He used the shortest words to explain the basic knowledge about cards and duels to those students who had only a vague knowledge of card masters.

Wang Hao looked at Ning Shanhai who was talking eloquently and nodded secretly.

This little fat boy has a completely different personality from Ye Qiong. He is enthusiastic and has more knowledge than most ordinary students. Most importantly, this little fat boy is also very sensible.

Every time he said something, he could immediately understand what he wanted to express.
This kind of student can be said to be the teacher's favorite student.
Ye Qiong is the student that the teacher needs to worry about the most.

Soon, Ning Shanhai finished his speech and looked towards his teacher.

Wang Hao nodded, and then said:

"Okay, Shanhai, please sit down first."

After Ning Shanhai sat down, Wang Hao asked the classmates:

"Are there still students who don't know how to duel?"

Some students who were already impatient quickly spoke up:

"Teacher, I understand. Please continue."

"Don't worry."

Wang Hao poured out the cards in the box and continued to explain:
"The box you have now is the deck you will use in this game. There are 20 white-level cards, 10 green-level cards, 7 blue-level cards, and 3 purple-level cards, a total of 40 cards. Please count the number of cards first to see if there is any problem. If there is less or more, raise your hand and tell the teacher."

After hearing what the head teacher said, the students in the class immediately took action.

Soon, students began to respond:
"Teacher, there is no problem with the number of cards I have."

Two minutes later, Wang Hao looked at Ye Qiong in the corner, waiting for his reply.

Seeing that if he didn't speak up, the whole class would be in a state of embarrassment, Ye Qiong had no choice but to answer:

"There's nothing wrong with mine either."

After confirming that there was no problem with the number of decks for the thirty-four students, Wang Hao continued:
"Except for some general-purpose cards, the decks you use are all different."

A student with a crew cut sitting in the front row raised his hand when he heard this.

Wang Hao saw this, looked at him and said:
"Li Jie, what's your problem?"

"Teacher, what if I'm not satisfied with this deck?"

He looked at the card he had placed on top of the deck with some embarrassment.
[Ogre Vanguard]

Although he didn't understand the strength of the cards, he knew how to distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
The ogre drawn on this card is really ugly. If I really use this deck in a competition, I will probably be laughed at by others even if I win, right?
As elementary school students, this is the time when they like to steal the spotlight the most.
They not only want to win the game, but also want to win beautifully.

How can this ugly-looking deck be worthy of the future Duel King?

There are many people who have this idea. After all, only a few people can get their favorite decks through this random method.
After hearing what Li Jie said, some students immediately echoed and responded:

"Yes, teacher, my deck is too weak, isn't it? This is not fair!"

"Teacher, can I change my deck?"

Wang Hao seemed to have anticipated this situation. He chuckled and said:

"Of course you can. There are two ways to change decks. The first is to find a classmate you are close to. As long as both parties want to exchange decks out of personal will, then just find me, the class teacher. I will help you exchange decks.

However, this method can only be used once, and you will not be able to change the deck if you exceed this time.

As for the second method, it is a bit cruel.
After the game starts, after you defeat your opponent, you can choose to exchange decks with your opponent. If you do not want to change your opponent's deck, you can ask the teacher who is the referee to obtain a random purple epic card, or a targeted blue advanced card.

In other words, as long as you are strong enough, you can change or strengthen your deck by defeating your opponents."

After hearing Wang Hao's words, the students in the class couldn't hold back any longer.

"You can even steal other people's decks? Teacher, isn't it a bit too cruel for us elementary school students to go through this?"

Wang Hao just smiled when he heard this, and then replied:

"Even if your opponent doesn't take your deck, the school will take it back after the game. What's so cruel about that?"

After that, he clapped his hands and continued:

"Okay, the class competition will start next Wednesday. You still have two days to prepare. You can study your own decks. If any of you are not satisfied with your decks, you can find a friend who also wants to change the deck and come to the teacher to change it.

There are still two hours left before school is over. You can move freely in the rest of the class and discuss the upcoming game with others. "

Hearing this, the students in the classroom cheered immediately.

For students, nothing is more attractive than the word "free activities".
Only Ye Qiong had the same indifferent expression as always. After casually glancing at the top card in the deck, he turned his head and looked out the window.

【Fairy Tale Fairy】

This is the deck that Ye Qiong got. The cards in this set are very cute. Maybe ordinary girls will like this type of deck very much.

For example, the short-haired girl sitting next to him,
This girl, Zhao Minru, was secretly glancing at the deck of cards on Ye Qiong's desk.

From her expression, it can be seen that she likes this set of [Fairy Tale Fairy] cards very much.
If it was an ordinary classmate, she would definitely be bold enough to propose the idea of ​​exchanging decks with the other party, but the person sitting next to her was Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong was very cold towards everyone. This ruthless attitude made many people afraid to have contact with him.
Zhao Minru showed hesitation. After struggling for a long time, she tentatively spoke to Ye Qiong:

"Um, classmate Ye Qiong"

At this moment, most of the students were busy studying decks or exchanging decks with friends. Only Ning Shanhai noticed the situation here.
After seeing the girl who was talking to Ye Qiong, Ning Shanhai also felt a little funny.
With Ye Qiong's personality, how could he possibly respond?

"what's up?"

The cold young man's voice made Ning Shanhai wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.

No, man, you.
The boy's answer surprised Zhao Minru so much that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that the other party was about to turn his head and look out the window again, she quickly said:

"Do you want to change your deck?"

"No."

Ye Qiong refused without hesitation, which made Zhao Minru feel a little overwhelmed. She planned to try again and said:

"Mr. Ye Qiong, the style of this deck is not suitable for boys like you."

“Maybe for ordinary elementary school students, but for me it’s just right.”

After saying this, he turned his head and looked out the window, apparently intending to end the topic directly.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhao Minru did not continue to insist. The girl behind her saw the whole process, pulled Zhao Minru over, and whispered:

"Hey, why are you looking for this guy? He is so cold that he doesn't even look like a human being. He looks like a robot."

Hearing this, Zhao Minru looked conflicted and replied timidly:
"He doesn't seem to be as cold as the rumors say."

"Okay, if you want to change your deck, tell me. I have a lot of friends in other classes. Tell me, what type of deck do you want?"

The two girls thought that their voices were so low that Ye Qiong couldn't hear them at all.
But it is not the case.
Ye Qiong's hearing is very good.
Now he could hear all the chattering in the class clearly, and even the sounds of fighting in other classes.

Maybe this is the benefit that comes with being a time traveler.

Before I knew it, it was time to go home from school.

Everyone else was still immersed in excitement, only Ye Qiong was the first to walk out of the classroom and choose to leave.

Although I don’t know which great god allowed him to live again, isn’t the timing of this time travel too awkward?
As an adult, he had no interest in playing house games with these elementary school students.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a voice called him from behind:
"Wait a minute, Ye Qiong."

Ning Shanhai hurried over, still with the familiar fake smile on his face.

"You haven't brought your deck yet."

The little fat man handed over the deck, looking honest and simple.
Ye Qiong took the deck back, glanced at Ning Shanhai, and then said lightly:
"You are just an elementary school student, why do you have to live such a hard life?"

He has excellent observation skills and can tell the other person's condition at a glance.
Although Ning Shanhai always looks optimistic and cheerful, he is actually quite hollow inside. He habitually puts on a fake smile when interacting with others.

He was very familiar with this look. In his previous life, his state was similar to Ning Shanhai's.
Under the pressure of my family, I kept learning things I didn't like, such as piano, painting, running, and high jump.
He had no time to play during his childhood. From morning till night, he was filled with countless classes.

Even though I am physically exhausted, I always put on a relaxed look when I am with my family, as if nothing really matters to me.

Ning Shanhai's current condition is quite similar to that of his previous life, so Ye Qiong rarely spoke extra words.

Ning Shanhai's expression changed obviously after hearing these words. After all, he was just an elementary school student and thought he had concealed it well, but as long as he was touched in the critical point, a fatal flaw would be revealed.

After realizing that something seemed wrong with his expression, he quickly forced out a stiff smile and answered:

"No, I like the way things are now. The teachers trust me and my classmates are happy to be friends with me. There's nothing tiring about it."

"is it?"

Ye Qiong just left these two words and turned to walk out of the classroom.

Ning Shanhai looked at the departing figure, and even he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed:

"This guy is really annoying."

Ning Shanhai returned to the classroom and came to the window, then he saw the boy running below. Ye Qiong had a habit after school, which was to do an hour of exercise before returning to the orphanage.

Usually, he would run around the playground a few times, and then do high jump.

Although the height of the railing is very low, it is still too high for a primary school student.

Ye Qiong tried to jump over the railing many times but failed.
The reason why he did this was not because he wanted to learn from a certain boy who became a heroic spirit and use this method to attract other people's attention.

After traveling through time, Ye Qiong has deeply realized one thing, that is, he is too weak now.
This weak body gave him a sense of insecurity.
Ye Qiong hated this feeling very much, so after traveling through time, he kept exercising, trying to regain the feeling of his previous life as soon as possible.

He understood that in this world, card duels were everything.
But having a strong body will always save you a lot of trouble.

After all, he now lives in an orphanage, where he has no one to rely on.

An hour passed quickly.

Ye Qiong was sweating profusely at this time. He picked up the schoolbag beside him and chose to leave the school.

As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he saw a senior student and a group of people communicating with other students.
This student is dressed quite exquisitely, most likely a rich second-generation.
The reason why they blocked the school gate was probably because they wanted to see other students' decks and see if they could change to a stronger deck.

Ye Qiong was also a little surprised when he saw this scene.
Isn't it just a game? Is it necessary to take it so seriously?

Perhaps this match was not ordinary? That was why this student was trying so hard to increase his chances of winning?

You know, this competition is for students in the third grade and above. To win the championship, you need to fight many duels.
Even an expert may fail due to bad luck.
Therefore, a deck with high fault tolerance and high strength is crucial for students who want to win the championship.
However, due to the school's arrangement, many people could only get random decks.

The strength of this deck depends entirely on luck.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for wealthy students to want to change their card decks.

Ye Qiong had good hearing and heard their conversation.

"Classmate, can you let me see your deck? Don't worry, I won't take advantage of it. How about 100 yuan?"

"Fuck, so generous?"

For an ordinary primary school student, 100 yuan is an astronomical figure. It can almost buy packs of spicy noodles.
The student who was called immediately put away the dissatisfied expression on his face, took out the black box in his schoolbag, and said respectfully:
"Boss, please."

The well-dressed senior student opened the box and took out the card set inside.
He looked very carefully, not wanting to miss any details.

It's not because I feel sorry for the 100 yuan, but I simply don't want to miss out on a powerful deck because of my own misjudgment.

It took him about five minutes to finish reading all the forty cards in the deck.

He put the deck back into the black box, smiled kindly, and said to the ordinary student standing in front of him:
"Thank you."

Then he ordered the bodyguard beside him to hand the money to the student.

Maybe it's because it's been an hour since school was over, so there are fewer students near the school gate now.

After seeing the student's deck, he quickly spotted Ye Qiong not far away.

From a distance, he waved towards Ye Qiong and said:

"Classmate, can you come over here for a moment?"

Ye Qiong did not choose to refuse, but walked towards the other party directly.

Now he is just an orphan, without any parents to rely on.

If you want to live independently, you must earn some start-up capital.
Although 100 yuan is not a lot of money, it is still very important to him now.

"Classmate, can you let me see your deck?"

Ye Qiong took out the box from his schoolbag and handed it to the other party.

Just like before, it took this person five minutes to finish reading the forty cards.

Put the cards in your hand back into the deck.

The second-generation rich student looked thoughtful.
Obviously, the strength of Ye Qiong's deck is quite good, but it is not yet to the point where it must be obtained.
That's why this rich second-generation student is in such a dilemma.

About thirty seconds later, he finally spoke and said to Ye Qiong:

"Classmate, can you tell me which class you are from?"

"Third grade class C."

"In this case, can you please not trade out this deck for now? I won't keep you waiting in vain."

As he said this, he waved his hand and the person next to him took out ten red banknotes.

Apparently this wasn't the first time he had done this.

If you want to judge the strength of a deck, you can't just look at it.
The rich second generation's approach is obviously to compare prices from three different stores, first keep those decks that are considered strong enough, and then slowly choose the deck that suits them best from these decks.

Ye Qiong naturally wouldn't feel disgusted by this kind of money-throwing behavior.

One thousand dollars is very important to him now. Besides, he has no interest in this game.
For him now, how to survive is the most important thing.

So, he took the money from the other party without hesitation, nodded in response, and chose to leave.

Seeing the other party's indifference, the rich second-generation student also looked thoughtful.

This student obviously looks a bit poor, but why doesn’t he feel excited after seeing so much money?

Soon, his thoughts were interrupted by students appearing near the school gate. He waved his hand again and called these students over.

Qihe Orphanage was not far from the school. It took Ye Qiong less than ten minutes to reach the vicinity of the orphanage.
From a distance, he saw a man in a suit standing guard at the door of the orphanage, as if waiting for someone.

After seeing this guy, Ye Qiong couldn't help but sigh.

"It's this guy again. He's really troublesome."

The person who appeared at the door of the orphanage was none other than Ye Qiong's uncle, Ye Qinglin.

Ye Qiong's parents were just dead, and his entire clan was not exterminated, so naturally he still had relatives.

It’s just that these relatives were not particularly willing to take care of him, so he was sent to an orphanage.

After hearing the news, Ye Qinglin could no longer hold back and took the initiative to run to the orphanage, trying to adopt Ye Qiong.
He did this not because he felt sorry for his nephew Ye Qiong, but because he wanted to receive his brother's inheritance.
When Ye Qiong first came to the orphanage, he actually planned to go back with them. After all, with an adult taking care of him, many things would become much simpler.
But when he heard the other party making a phone call in the toilet, his mentality suddenly changed.
This guy is an out-and-out gambler who is in debt. He wants to adopt Ye Qiong to receive his inheritance to pay off his debts.
If Ye Qiong followed this kind of guy, his future days would definitely be difficult.
So when they met for the first time, he chose to refuse without hesitation, saying that he was living very well here.

How could Ye Qinglin give up so easily? He thought Ye Qiong was still obsessed with his parents' death, so he was unwilling to follow his uncle.
He tried to use his perseverance to impress Ye Qiong and adopt him back.

However, he gradually discovered one thing: no matter what he did, Ye Qiong would refuse to adopt him.

He immediately became angry. If he failed this time, he would have to use some special means to adopt Ye Qiong back home.

At this moment, Ye Qinglin was wandering at the door of the orphanage, with a rather irritable expression on his face, and he kept muttering in his heart:

"Why hasn't this kid come back yet?"

What Ye Qinglin didn't know was that Ye Qiong had already climbed over the wall and returned to the orphanage.

Thanks to the high jump training during this period, he was able to successfully climb over the high wall and return to his room.

Mo Wei, the director of the orphanage, came to the door and asked Ye Qinglin:

"Is Ye Qiong not back yet?"

After seeing the old woman in front of him, Ye Qinglin immediately put away the irritation on his face and answered:

"not yet."

Then, he showed a worried expression and said:

"Is Ye Qiong okay? Dean, do you know where he went?"

When Mo Wei heard this, there was no worry on her face.

"Don't worry, Ye Qiong is a very smart child. Among so many children, he is the one I trust the most."

"Then why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Maybe he's exercising at school. You know, he likes to stay in school and run during this period."

"so.."

Ye Qinglin hesitated for a while before answering:

"Okay, I'll go to the school and see if he's there."

Having said that, he chose to leave.

Mo Wei returned to the orphanage, came to Ye Qiong's room, and knocked on the door lightly.

Although there was no response from inside, she knew that Ye Qiong had actually returned to the orphanage.

The old woman showed a helpless smile and opened the door.
As expected, I saw Ye Qiong sitting on the chair.

She showed a gentle smile and asked:

"Your uncle just came. Don't you want to go and meet him?"

"What's there to talk about with him? Dean, he's not a good person."

"I know, that's why I didn't let him adopt you."

As she spoke, Mo Wei brought a stool and sat next to Ye Qiong, then continued:

"What are you going to do next? Is there anyone suitable among your relatives?"

"No, I plan to move out of the orphanage and live on my own after I enter high school."

"Where do you live?"

“My parents left me a house.”

"What about the money? Although your parents left some money, it's not enough to support you through college."

"No problem, I can handle it myself."

Looking at the stubborn boy in front of her, Mo Wei felt helpless. She touched Ye Qiong's head and said in a gentle voice:
"Ye Qiong, don't put all the pressure on yourself. How about relying on others more sometimes?"

"Dean, I have relied on you many times. Besides, the situation in the hospital is not particularly good, is it?"

There is an adult living in Ye Qiong's heart.
Can't he see what the orphanage's current situation is?

After saying this, he silently took out five banknotes from his schoolbag and handed them to the other party.

After seeing the money, Mo Wei's expression changed significantly, and she said to Ye Qiong seriously:

“Where did all this money come from?”

“It was given by someone who has enough money.”

Ye Qiong told the other party the origin of the money truthfully. If he didn't explain clearly, this upright dean would not let him go.

After hearing this, Mo Wei felt relieved.
However, she did not collect the money, but handed it back to Ye Qiong:
"Keep this money for yourself. You, a little kid, don't need to worry about anything in the hospital. Just spend your childhood happily. You don't need to live such a hard life. If you have any problems, just go to the dean."

Ye Qiong did not expect that the boomerang would come so quickly.
What I had just said to Ning Shanhai not long ago came back to me just over an hour later.

Ye Qiong did not put the money away, but handed it to the dean again:

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, let's buy some delicious food for our brothers and sisters to celebrate the festival."

Ye Qiong remembers both grudges and favors. He remembers all the kindness the dean has shown him, as well as the brothers and sisters in the orphanage. They are all good kids, and as an older brother, he should do something for them.

Mo Wei looked at Ye Qiong with a determined look on his face, and couldn't help but feel helpless again.

"Okay, okay, I'll put it away."

After getting a satisfactory result, Ye Qiong stood up and said:
"Then I'm going to take a shower first." (End of this chapter)
