My Card Beast Taming Game

When the crowd saw the old monkey with sparse, white hair carrying a long sword on his shoulder, they were speechless for a moment before finally speaking.

"What a cool knife! Uh, the monkey is cool too."

"It's actually a humanoid bronze card!"

"Zhou Chen, have you ever been to the secret realm? Is it particularly dangerous there?"

"The secret realm is definitely dangerous! I know someone who went there twice and then announced that he was going to become a competitive card master."

"Zhou Chen, have you ever played against anyone? Was it fun?"

The boys bombarded him with questions, and Zhou Chen calmly and selectively responded.

The girls quickly joined in, mainly because they couldn't resist his friendly attitude and the fact that he hadn't become arrogant just because he had become a card master.

The lively atmosphere here quickly spread to the next room.

A man and a woman stood at the back door, and upon seeing the situation inside, they said, "There's a card dealer in this shift too! Do you know that person?"

"I don't know him. Why don't you call him out and ask him?"

The two chatted casually.

Zhou Chen naturally noticed them as well. Card masters are generally more attractive than ordinary people, and there are very few ugly ones.

Their overall demeanor is different from that of ordinary people, causing card players to be attracted to each other like Stand users.

As he looked over, the boy casually waved and said, "Hey! Want to come out and chat?"

Zhou Chen: "..."

He didn't move, but simply shook his head at the other person to indicate his refusal.

The other party's words and body language were appalling; not only were they impolite, but they also had an arrogant and domineering attitude.

Zhou Chen's intuition told him that it was best not to get involved with this kind of person.

Seeing that he was completely uncooperative, the boy's face suddenly darkened, and the girl said with a grin, "Are you sure you can do it? If not, I'll do it!"

She then called out, "Hey~ handsome~ chatting with ordinary people is no fun~ we're all card masters, come and chat!"

Upon hearing this, the students in the class immediately became unhappy. They were ordinary people, that's true, but these words were still very unpleasant to hear.

Who doesn't have a card dealer relative? Why pretend to be something you're not? You woke up a couple of years ago!

Zhou Chen had a very bad initial impression of the boy, and even though the girl next to him was relatively polite, she had no intention of going over to talk to her.

He politely declined, saying, "I'm not free right now, sorry, classmate."

The girl's smile vanished instantly. Since becoming a card master, she was rarely rejected, especially by boys.

When the boy next door saw her get the short end of the stick, his sour face instantly turned into a smile, secretly gloating, but outwardly righteous and stern, he said, "This kid doesn't know what's good for him. Let's find a way to teach him a lesson."

"Okay, you'll beat him up for me?" the girl said, turning her head with a forced smile.

The boy quickly waved his hand, "That won't do, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

After saying that, the two turned and left.

After all, staying here would only be pointless.

After they walked away, someone said, "Are those two from the next class? Does anyone know them? Ask them."

Some people worriedly said, "Won't they cause you trouble? I've heard that many people become card masters and their tempers are like firecrackers, exploding at the slightest thing."

"will not."

Zhou Chen believed that since the Sixth Middle School dared to invite Ka Shi to its anniversary celebration, there must be corresponding security measures in place on campus.

As for off-campus?

Unless those two dare to cause trouble at the school gate or bomb cars, it doesn't matter.

Zhuxia places great importance on the safety of the city. While card players are not prohibited from summoning card creatures, if damage is caused, the security team's iron bars will be swung at an extremely fast speed.

The school anniversary celebration was more boring than expected; it mainly involved inviting all sorts of people to the auditorium to watch student performances.

But Zhou Chen soon discovered that this was actually a different kind of alumni association.

For example, his homeroom teacher introduced him to many other card instructors he had taught before, so they could get to know each other and exchange contact information. Or, an alumnus with a position in an association stood on the stage and gave the card instructors a group number to join for future communication.

No wonder so many people are willing to come to a regular high school's anniversary celebration; it turns out it's a social event!

Zhou Chen suddenly realized.

Upon seeing the two people who had appeared at the back door of the classroom earlier, he decisively turned around, not intending to deal with these troublesome people, and even felt that talking to them for more than a few words would be a waste of life.

Unfortunately, the world does not operate according to an individual's will.

The homeroom teacher suddenly approached Zhou Chen and hurriedly said that he wanted to introduce him to a senior colleague. With the idea of ​​making more connections, Zhou Chen went along.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the two men were also there, chatting and laughing familiarly with a young-looking man surrounded by several other students.

Zhou Chen wanted to leave, but it was too late; the other side had already turned their attention to him.

The expressions on both sides were priceless the moment they saw him.

"Manager Wang!"

The homeroom teacher, who hadn't even noticed the person next to him, greeted him politely with a smile and continued, "Manager Wang, this is the student I told you about, his name is Zhou Chen."

Then, he whispered to Zhou Chen, who was caught in a dilemma, "This is Manager Wang from the Five Congress Club. Do you know the Five Congress Club? It's a super-large card player club in Shanghai!"

Five-nation alliance?

Upon hearing the name, Zhou Chen felt instantly relieved and stepped forward with his homeroom teacher.

Although I don't know whether the manager or Ding Yinan has a higher status, I think that as a member, I can avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Zhou Chen happened to have his membership card with him, which could prove his identity.

The moment they approached, the more polite girl spoke first, "So your name is Zhou Chen. It's so hard to get to know you."

Her eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain, while the boy next to her sneered repeatedly, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.

The people next to them also had different expressions.

Chapter 55.5: Let's Recover (Please continue reading!!!)

The homeroom teacher subconsciously looked at Zhou Chen beside her.

At the same time, the girl spoke again in a sarcastic tone, this time directed at Manager Wang beside her, "Third Uncle, this guy is very aloof. I tried to get to know him and chat with him before, but he wouldn't even acknowledge me!"

The moment those words were spoken, an awkward silence fell.

The homeroom teacher opened her mouth, "Manager Wang, there might be some kind of misunderstanding here—"

Before he could finish making excuses, Manager Wang suddenly spoke up and extended his hand, saying, "Young Master Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you here. I'm also from the Five Kingdoms Society. My name is Wang Zhiyuan, and I work in a different department from Manager Ding."

Young Master Zhou?

Apart from Manager Wang and Zhou Chen, the homeroom teacher, the girl who spoke up, and everyone else present were dumbfounded.

Does he know me?

Zhou Chen realized that the importance of the members might be greater than he had imagined, so he reached out and shook hands with Wang Zhiyuan again.

"Nice to meet you. You can just call me Zhou Chen."

"Manager Wang...do you know Zhou Chen?" the homeroom teacher asked cautiously, the situation was too bizarre.

Of all those present, he knew Zhou Chen's family situation best. Why would Wang Zhiyuan address him as Mr. Zhou and be so respectful?

Keep in mind that Wang Zhiyuan is only a junior card master!

Although they are only one level above apprentice card masters, in the minds of many people in the card master community, they are already considered to be two different species.

Wang Zhiyuan glanced at his stunned niece as if by accident, which startled her. She said, "Zhou, um, Zhou Chen is an important member of our Five Nations Association. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Important member?

The homeroom teacher was almost dizzy. He knew very well what kind of behemoth the Five Nations was, and Zhou Chen was actually a member!

Could it be related to Zhou Chen's mother, whom she claims to have disappeared without a trace?

The homeroom teacher couldn't understand it, and neither could the girl who had deliberately stirred things up to embarrass others.

Fear, regret, anger and many other emotions surged within her. She knew very well that her third uncle's words just now were actually meant for her.

What should I do?

An apology? Absolutely not! She didn't say anything wrong! She didn't do anything bad either!

People often don't admit their mistakes. When faced with problems they can't handle, they are prone to self-destructive tendencies due to factors such as temper, dignity, and face-saving. Even when they know they have problems, they are unwilling to admit them.

As a card master with high standards, the girl was no exception.

Just as she was about to give up, Wang Zhiyuan put his hand on her shoulder and said sincerely, "Zhou Chen, is there some misunderstanding between my good-for-nothing niece and you? I'm sorry, she's been spoiled at home since she was little. I'll have her apologize to you."

"No need, it's nothing."

Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing. Considering he had to save face for his homeroom teacher, he took out his phone and said, "Add me as a friend. Does Manager Wang mind?"

Wang Zhiyuan naturally wouldn't refuse, "It's my honor!"

After the two added each other as friends, other people around them shamelessly asked to add them as well, and Zhou Chen accepted them all, since he was using a secondary account anyway.

The neglected girl and boy stood aside, their expressions shifting inexplicably, like nobody caring about them.

Their original intention was to see Zhou Chen treated this way, but they never expected that their plan would backfire and they would suffer the consequences.

During this time, Zhou Chen completely ignored the two of them, treating them as if there was an invisible wall. After adding them as friends, he said goodbye and left.

The homeroom teacher didn't know what to say the whole time, and could only give Wang Zhiyuan a forced smile as he left.

After they had walked a distance, he asked in a low voice, "Zhou Chen, are you a member of the Five Nations?"

"Hmm. It's a bit complicated to explain." Zhou Chen nodded.

The homeroom teacher waved his hand, "No need to explain! Hey... seeing that your future is secured puts my mind at ease. You're so young to have become a card master; you deserve a bright future!"

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Zhou Chen was undoubtedly grateful to his homeroom teacher. Before he remembered his past life, he was completely at a loss when faced with the death of a loved one.

Thanks to the help of Grandpa and Grandma Lu and the homeroom teacher, the funeral arrangements for the elderly were successfully resolved.

Not to mention that the homeroom teacher left him some money before leaving.

It wasn't much, but it was enough to prove his sincerity.

The homeroom teacher patted Zhou Chen's shoulder and smiled, "Keep it up! When you become a junior card master, I can brag about it!"

"I will work hard." Zhou Chen didn't dare to make any promises, but he felt that as long as he continued to grow steadily, he could aspire to reach not only the beginner level, but also the intermediate, advanced, or even the special level.

This is the source of his confidence from his growth-oriented golden touch!

In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere between the two, the atmosphere on Wang Zhiyuan's side was frighteningly tense.

The rest of the people, including the boy, made excuses and left, leaving only Wang Zhiyuan and the girl behind.

He looked at his niece, who was now silent and trembling, and said, "Yaoyao, I won't help you with the trouble you've caused this time. Find a way to get his forgiveness."

“But he already said he didn’t need me to apologize…” The girl lowered her head shyly and rubbed the ground with the sole of her shoe.

Wang Zhiyuan calmly said, "You almost embarrassed him in public, why would he pay attention to you? Apologize in private, I don't care what method you use."

"Third Uncle!" The girl looked up in astonishment, staring at her uncle who usually doted on her the most, somewhat incredulous.

Wang Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a tone utterly unfamiliar to her: "Don't call me uncle until you've earned someone's forgiveness. And don't let your parents come looking for me. The world of card masters is not something ordinary people can participate in."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the girl named Wang Xinyao standing there in frustration and panic.

……

Zhou Chen left early because he was busy going home to run a dungeon.

During the taxi ride, he grouped the new people he had added that day into groups and muted several of the groups.

Buzz!

My phone vibrated.

Someone added him as a friend.

When Zhou Chen clicked on it, he found it was an unfamiliar male account with a username consisting of Chinese characters and Western script.
