Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

Blind people are inherently vulnerable, often experiencing feelings of inferiority, panic, anxiety, and confusion.

Baiyun lowered her head; she had heard this kind of comforting talk countless times.

It's like telling a high school senior not to be nervous, but how can they not be nervous when they actually get to the exam hall?

There is only one way to not be nervous, and there is only one way.

This candidate is strong enough.

Clearly, the "punk" style she possesses isn't powerful enough to inspire such confidence.

"Can your eyes be cured?" Luo Bai asked casually as he tidied up the crumbs on the counter.

"Yes," Baiyun nodded weakly.

Luo Bai stopped tidying up abruptly, somewhat surprised.

Bai Yun forced a bitter smile and said, "Dr. Fu said that surgery is needed for a complete cure, and it requires medical equipment from a level six fortress."

"Right now, all we can do is take medicine and try to regulate our condition."

"It's not a terminal illness...there's still hope...I believe in miracles...it might happen..."

"Miracles don't exist..."

"The Dragon Awakens does not exist..."

Her final murmur was barely audible, and tears welled up in her delicate eyelashes.

The murmuring evolved into sobbing.

Luo Bai shook his head and sighed inwardly, it seemed that taking the medical route wouldn't work in the short term either.

"This kid is beyond saving."

I really wanted to help her, but I was powerless to do so; the chives just weren't growing well.

Just then.

"Thump—" A strong heartbeat sounded.

Bai Yun trembled with fright, her lips quivering, "Coach...this...this is..."

In her nervousness, she tightened her grip on the cat's neck.

"Meow--"

Tony, who was lying peacefully in her arms, let out a shrill wail and frantically waved his front paws, as if he were begging for help.

Luo Bai turned his head away, choosing to ignore him coldly.

This is what happens when you become a woman's plaything.

He frowned and looked up at the second floor.

Just like with Miss Mei [True Blood Duke] that time, this heartbeat wasn't directed at him.

I have a card and I want to go to Baiyun's place.

"Wait a moment," Luo Bai said softly, then walked towards the second floor.

"I'll go find a miracle for you."

"It might... be a little dusty."

Baiyun raised her dejected head blankly, her face showing an "Ah" expression.

A short while later, Luo Bai arrived at the [Holy Land]—his bedroom.

"Who is it this time...?"

He muttered to himself as he began rummaging through the various miscellaneous items piled up in the small warehouse.

He heard a faint, rhythmic heartbeat and, driven by curiosity, dragged the cardboard box out from under the bed.

"That's not it..."

"It's not this one either..."

Luo Bai pulled out one old card box after another, his heart pounding louder in his ears.

He didn't know what he touched, but his movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened slightly.

The hesitant hand slowly withdrew.

Card Box – [The Magnificent Creator].

"thump--"

His palms went numb from the intense pounding of his heart.

"That's a bit intense."

Luo Bai frowned and slowly opened the card box.

"It's really you."

After confirming the card that was the source of his heartbeat, he didn't seem too surprised.

After some thought, Luo Bai injected the Yi Na within his body into the playing cards to sense the Qi.

This can roughly determine the level of the internal texture.

The thousands of exiled yin na were sucked into a black hole without causing a ripple.

"Oh—send it."

Luo Bai sighed deeply.

"It's an epic card."

Epic cards mean that creating them is incredibly difficult.

Similarly, setting a price is also difficult.

The Rebirth Shop has a set of underlying rules: it cannot give things away, it can only sell them.

After thinking for a while, Luo Bai grabbed the card box and went back downstairs.

Baiyun seemed to have calmed down, and was rhythmically stroking the cat with both hands.

That fat cat actually survived being strangled.

An eerie silence descended, punctuated by the ticking of the wall clock.

After a long while.

Luo Bai slowly said, "A guest is a guest once you enter."

"baby."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Do you... want to buy a card?"

A demonic whisper descended.

Bai Yun tensed up suddenly, whether from being startled by the word "baby" or by the thought of buying the card, it was hard to tell.

"Excuse me... May I ask..."

She tried to speak, but her voice trembled uncontrollably; each syllable was choked by emotion and difficult to utter fluently.

"What...is the price...?"

...

Double update progress tomorrow: 80% (as of 18:30)

Chapter 309 Once people are anonymous, they tend to do strange things.

"The price?" Luo Bai was taken aback and couldn't react.

“It’s just…” Baiyun pointed to the playing card in his hand, mustering all her courage, and asked, “That card, how… how much does it cost?”

Luo Bai looked down at the [Ukiyo-e Punk Dragon] in his hand, somewhat troubled.

It's said to be very valuable.

Just one playing card.

It's not that it's not valuable.

Even selling her wouldn't be enough to make up for it.

Luo Bai pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively in a soft voice, "Do you have... a ten-carat negative cube?"

"Ten...ten carats..." Bai Yun stammered, her voice barely audible, "I can only...only get five hundred milligrams..."

From 10 grams to 500 milligrams, this price is incredibly low.

She felt embarrassed herself, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

"sorry..."

Bai Yun gently raised her hand to cover her burning cheeks, and Tony took the opportunity to escape her clutches.

"As expected, there isn't one..." Luo Bai muttered.

Ten grams is already a friendly price; military-grade prices are in kilograms.

"They can't even come up with ten million..."

He spoke of ten million as if it were a thousand dollars.

He had seen Baiyun's contract; her annual salary was 1.5 million. She shouldn't only have that much savings.

“My deck belongs to the family…” Bai Yun seemed to know what Luo Bai was thinking and explained with his head down, “Most of my salary has to be handed over to the family. I only make 300,000 a year.”

“The Bai family…” Luo Bai couldn’t help but think of Bai Tianqiu’s sins, and took a deep breath and said, “Let’s pay in installments, baby.”

"Every month... I still need 300 milligrams."

"Paying for three consecutive years, is that alright?"

"Huh?!" Bai Yun was stunned. "You can do that?"
