Elemental Card King.

Chapter 40 Limited Card

The second week of school.

After returning to school, the atmosphere in the class became noticeably more harmonious.

Before class, everyone was as noisy and boisterous as if they were at a market, with little sense of distance between them.

Xu Zigui shared his experiences and insights from the actual competition.

However, not many people wanted to hear it, and those who did were subtly trying to find out about Su Chen's performance.

Xu Zigui's boasting failed to garner any praise. After understanding the underlying meaning, he said somewhat sullenly, "Su Chen, he passed the selection training. You all know that his talent gave him a huge advantage in the early stages."

"You're just being sarcastic."

Lin Zhexian, the mischievous friend next to him, said with a grin.

"Come on, I lined up at the mall over the weekend and bought a box. It's time to see how lucky I am." As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled a square box out of his backpack.

The entire packaging and plastic seal are covered with the A-star logo.

The outer cover features a graceful and charming snow woman atop a snow-capped mountain, gazing lovingly ahead.

When the card case is shaken slightly, a snowflake effect appears on the cover, and even the snow woman seems to come alive, with her white clothes fluttering and her affectionate gaze seemingly penetrating the cover.

"Holy shit, wife!"

Xu Zigui's eyes lit up when he saw it. He had been looking depressed just now, but now he was extremely excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Snow Woman!"

"Isn't this my wife?"

Similarly, some of the students around them also got excited.

This is one of the limited edition card box series produced by A-star, 'Snow Woman's Invitation'.

It includes the two-star limited summon card [Snow Woman], the limited exclusive weapon card [Snowflake Bell], the limited exclusive effect card [Snowy Sorrow], and the limited domain card [Ice and Snow Home].

Yes. Specifically, the drop rate for each limited card is less than 0.99%.

One box contains 15 cards, totaling 8000 Alliance Coins.

A group of students stood around, their faces devout, hands clasped together, praying softly.

Those who didn't know the situation might even mistake this scene for a missionary event.

but.

Soon, cries of despair and agony filled the air.

"They're all trendy boutique cards."

"Well, there's also a blank card inside, so it's a small recovery."

Apart from the cards with customizable materials, the rest are all so-called commemorative collectible cards with various snow maiden illustrations, which are useless except for being pretty.

However, A-star is also very good at making money. They even give useless commemorative cards an R, SR, and SSR rating, which has managed to drive up the secondary market.

At its peak, a single SSR limited-edition commemorative card could fetch over 10 Alliance Coins.

"Class is about to start, go back to your seats."

At this moment, Xiao Tingting restored order in the class.

Su Chen sat quietly in the corner reading a book.

Du Hanping and Huang Haoliang, who were standing next to him, were also discussing A-star Card Company.

The exploration and development of the Green Forest dimension undoubtedly put A-star in the spotlight, making it the headline news.

After releasing a 175-page Green Forest Ecological Survey Report in response to the Peace Organization, the international giant has announced that it will officially hold its first new card launch event in mid-September.

The theme is "Nature and Me", and the number of people who have registered to watch it has exceeded 60 million.

According to reliable sources, 98 new summonable creatures have been packaged and submitted to the Alliance for approval and registration.

With levels ranging from 2 to 9 stars, it's enough to interest the vast majority of card players.

According to the latest high-definition spy photos, the new two-star summon beast, Wisteria Flower Princess, has attracted widespread attention and is expected to become the next star product after Snow Maiden.

An eight-star Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor Vine has attracted the attention of even higher-level card players.

"Capitalists are truly dripping with blood from every pore. That Flower Princess card can only be obtained through blind boxes, and the kind with no pity system. It's setting a bad example," Du Hanping said with deep disgust.

"There's nothing we can do about it. They spent an astronomical sum to buy out the development rights for thirty years from the alliance; they have to recoup their investment." "Besides..."

Huang Haoliang said, "High-tech companies employ more than 500,000 people, and the monthly salaries alone are not a small amount."

Du Hanping frowned. He realized that every time he made a sharp critique of social injustice, this kid would always argue with him.

He knew he was bad at talking, and even if he knew there was a problem with what the other person was saying, he would find it difficult to refute it logically right away.

Seeing Du Hanping's frustrated expression, Huang Haoliang pressed his advantage and refused to let him go.

“New cards issued by companies only have a 50-year copyright term from the day the registration is completed. After the expiration, they will automatically become public domain resources, and companies will naturally want to make money as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chen, who was standing next to him, knew that this was sophistry.

If it weren't for A-star's consistently high profit margins in each quarterly financial report, far exceeding market expectations, he would almost have believed it.

Of course, the two were just habitually bickering and arguing; they weren't seeking the truth, just indulging in a verbal sparring session.

Su Chen stopped reading and joined the conversation.

"This Friday is the day for negotiating the League of Legends card copyright, right?"

"Yes."

Du Hanping remembers it clearly because it involved his own interests.

"During the summer vacation, the Card Masters Association released a wish list on its official website. I filled in quite a few limited cards. If the copyright monopoly can be ended, I can save a lot of money on card building in the future."

The annual card game copyright negotiation day is definitely an important day for many people.

At this time of year, authorized by the Alliance Council, the senior leaders of the Card Masters Association will conduct copyright negotiations with more than thirty card game companies.

The Blue Star Alliance allocates approximately 3.5% of its annual revenue to buy out the copyrights of a large number of cards and transfer them to the public domain.

This is a negotiation and game between alliances and enterprises.

One side of the game is to ensure that its card pool is replenished and to meet the annual card growth target.

On the other hand, they were thinking about how to extract more money from the alliance's coffers and ensure that their flagship product was not targeted.

"Brother Chen, is it a limited edition corporate card you've got your eye on?" Huang Haoliang asked curiously.

"It is."

Su Chen didn't intend to hide it.

After undergoing rigorous survival tests, his previously immature ideas became even more steadfast.

The third contract card is already clear; all that's left is to figure out how to realize my ideas.

obviously.

It won't be the Elemental Magic series of weapon cards, nor the Elemental Bombardment series of spell cards.

These cards may be contracted later, but they must be given priority in the order of priority.

"Could you share your thoughts and offer some advice?" Du Hanping, standing to the side, became intrigued.

"I'll stop here for now."

Su Chen said, "We still need to confirm the content of the copyright negotiation on Friday. I may need to make a trip there myself afterward. If it doesn't go smoothly, then nothing will happen."

"Ok."

Having said all that, even the most gossipy and curious brothers had no answer.

The morning passed, and it was lunchtime.

Su Chen picked up his phone and, after replying to some messages from his cousin Tong Li, looked at the pinned contact in his call list—Aunt Jing.

Before going to sleep last night, he shared his training results as usual, but there has been no reply yet.

"If I still can't get in touch with them, then I really will have to go home."

That's another home.

The home that truly belonged to him, hidden deep in his heart.

Please give me your daily votes! Thank you everyone.
