Chapter 12 Titanium Cards

Chapter 12 Titanium Cards
"Hahaha, I already told you, this is a master. He came here specifically to teach Bald Wu a lesson."

This exciting moment immediately drew cheers from the entire audience, with some even leading the applause.

Xia Qing seemed unfazed by this.

Just kidding, the Money Dart Technique is, after all, a hidden weapon martial art, and in terms of technique alone, it's a real killing technique.

If you can't even handle a moving target that knows how to dodge, then what's the point of fighting? You might as well go back to embroidery.

"help yourself."

In stark contrast to the excited cheers and sense of pride of the crowd, the bald boss's face turned ashen, turning a deep liver color.

He first glared at the fat man in the floral shirt, then looked fiercely at Xia Qing: "From now on, you're not allowed to throw two at the same time; you have to do it one at a time."

"Okay, you have the final say."

Xia Qing shrugged indifferently.

This was my first time trying to throw a goose, so I was just testing my reaction.

Having made some attempts, the rest is entirely based on random predictions.

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw out another ring.

This time, even if the goose tried to hide and dodge, it was no use; it was caught red-handed.

"it is good!"

"Great! One more!"

The audience treated it like a performance, generously cheering and applauding, laughing and joking as they watched the bald boss make a fool of himself.

As someone who lives nearby and frequents the area, I've obviously heard of this bald boss's reputation.

"Boss, give me twenty of these too."

Just then, the short-haired girl who had just reminded Xia Qing, seeing her performance, also had a look of admiration in her eyes and took the initiative to speak up and buy rings from the bald boss.

"Okay, okay, here are twenty. Scan the code here."

Seeing that Xia Qing was still hitting the bullseye every time, the bald boss, who had realized the seriousness of the problem and whose forehead was starting to sweat, felt a sense of salvation, as if he had been granted a pardon, when he heard what the short-haired girl said. He immediately started selling with great enthusiasm.

These geese are definitely not cheap.

Judging from Xia Qing's posture, it seems she's about to launch another massive raid.

Selling more rings now means recouping more costs; twenty rings would bring in at least four hundred yuan.

Now, it was Xia Qing, who had been so calm just moments before, who started to get a little anxious.

He couldn't bring himself to do something that would harm others for his own benefit. This bald boss who came to his door was a rare opportunity to buy goods—no, to win a reward.

Having bought twenty laps in one go, he was already prepared to sweep through the entire market.

They had already decided that the big white goose, worth a full two hundred yuan, was theirs for the taking.

Now someone actually wants to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?
The short-haired girl who looked quite pleasing and pretty just moments ago suddenly became 'hideous'.

However, there's no rule about playing ring toss one by one; the ring toss booth is open to the public and anyone can play together.

It's perfectly normal for people to want to hang out together.

It's perfectly normal for a business owner to want to do more business.

Xia Qing was not an unreasonable person, so naturally she couldn't say much.

However, his usually calm and collected face involuntarily revealed a hint of apprehension, and he began to throw the rings faster.

I absolutely cannot stand by and watch this 'despicable woman' steal the two hundred yuan that's already in my hands!
Absolutely not!
"Yesterday, Grandpa told me about a darts master here, someone who raved about him like he was a magician. That must be you, right?"

The short-haired girl didn't start throwing the rings right away, but instead looked at Xia Qing: "Interested in a game?"

Xia Qing remained silent, her face stern, and simply kept throwing rings.

While the short-haired girl was talking, he bought two more geese.

"There's a wager involved. Since you're also a darts enthusiast, you should know how to throw cards, right? How about I use that as the wager?"

The short-haired girl thought Xia Qing was aloof and uninterested, so she spoke up again.

He also took out a deck of cards from his pocket, which was carefully packaged in a black and gold metal box.

Is there a wager?
In fact, Xia Qing had already turned her head when she heard this keyword.

Upon seeing the deck of cards in the short-haired girl's hand, he was immediately struck by a thought and even stopped what he was doing.

"Could I take a look at it first?" Xia Qing stared at the playing cards.

For some reason, he had a special connection to this deck of cards.

It comes from the Money Dart Technique, or more precisely, the sensation bestowed by throwing away a fortune.

"of course can."

The short-haired girl readily handed over the deck of cards.

Xia Qing took it, opened it, and inside was a standard deck of cards, mainly black with gold lines and patterns.

However, it is not made of the common paper or plastic, but of some kind of metal.

"Where did you get this?"

Xia Qing casually spread the playing cards out in a fan shape in her palm, glanced at them, and then looked at the short-haired girl.

He could sense that the material of this deck of cards was very special.

Not only is it very strong, but it also has a near-perfect compatibility with the Demon-Slaying Golden Light that costs a fortune, and can almost maximize the capacity to bear the Demon-Slaying Golden Light.

It even seems that it can be directly used as 'fortune' for spending lavishly.

"I do it by myself."

Seeing Xia Qing's seemingly reluctant expression, the short-haired girl was also very happy, with a hint of pride.

"What materials were used? Can you tell me?"

Xia Qing pressed for an answer.

The cards are not the point.

While this extremely thin and card-shaped design is indeed easy to carry, the key to its special feel lies in the material.

"Of course you can, but it might be a bit difficult for you to do it yourself."

The short-haired girl chuckled: "Mine is made of titanium alloy. You've seen the Iron Man movie, right?"
While not as miraculous as the gold-titanium alloy touted in those articles, this titanium-titanium alloy is still four times harder than pure titanium, and 25% of its composition is gold.

One-quarter of it is gold?

Upon hearing the short-haired girl's words, Xia Qing immediately realized what she meant.

Gold is a global hard currency and has had monetary attributes since ancient times.

It's important to know about the term "gold standard," which refers to the fact that for a long time, currencies were pegged to gold, and even now, gold is a strategic reserve.

Therefore, it is quite normal that it has extremely strong adaptability to the demon-dispelling golden light, and can even be directly used as a means of financial loss.

Thinking of this, Xia Qing suddenly became even more fond of the deck of cards.

As a type of titanium alloy, it has a hardness far exceeding that of pure titanium, extremely strong adaptability to the magic-dispelling golden light, and directly possesses the attribute of wealth.

Even the design of these playing cards makes them perfectly acceptable to carry around as entertainment and handicrafts, and it's perfectly justifiable to take them out for excessive self-defense.

In addition, it is thin and light enough, with strong cutting power, and when combined with the money-throwing technique of the money dart method, it can scatter a large area at a time.

This item might just be an expensive hobby craft for others.

But for him, it was the perfect weapon.

I wouldn't trade it for an AK!
"This thing is quite expensive to make. Are you really going to use it as a bet?"

Xia Qing looked up and stared intently at the short-haired girl.

Even disregarding the craftsmanship, the fact that this deck of cards is made of a quarter of gold makes it incredibly valuable.

"Of course, don't underestimate me, I won't lose."

The short-haired girl smiled confidently.

"Alright, let's begin. How do we compete?"

Xia Qing nodded, and with even greater dexterity, stuffed the titanium playing cards she was so fond of into her pocket.

As for whether he will lose?

He hadn't thought of it at all.

Unless it's some kind of supernatural ghost or monster.
