My Card Beast Taming Game

Zhou Chen didn't quite understand why Mei Xian had added him as a friend. He wanted to ask her, but she asked him about offending Pan Yi.

Ok?

He didn't rush to answer, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

He'd encountered too many strange people lately, and he really didn't dare to speak carelessly to Mei Xian, who had fallen out with Lu Qingning, until he heard that the two had reconciled.

Mei Xian, however, said, "You don't really need to worry too much about Pan Yi causing you trouble. These aristocratic families are shrewd and value their lives. If you really have concerns, you can stay at the club; it's absolutely safe there."

Zhou Chen: Okay.

Their conversation fell silent for a while.

Mei Xian sent another message: "If you encounter any difficult problems, feel free to message me. Although I'm only one level higher than you, I might be able to help in some situations."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much."

Zhou Chen replied quickly, but he was also a little curious as to why Mei Xian had made a special effort to take care of him.

Could it be that someone put in a good word for them?

Just as he had guessed, someone had indeed greeted Mei Xian—

It's Han Baobao.

Unlike Lu Qingning, with whom she had a complete falling out, Han Baobao and Mei Xian were still in contact. After learning that Zhou Chen had advanced from the multi-player elimination round, she went to Mei Xian hoping she could help look after him.

Compared to Lu Qingning, who only started to get involved in the Maple City card player circle after awakening in the last two years, Han Baobao, who already came from a good background, knew very well that trainee card players like Zhou Chen, who had no background but performed exceptionally well, were easily targeted.

Therefore, she tried to help Zhou Chen within her means.

Although she wasn't as considerate as Lu Qingning, who gave her money and cards, Han Baobao felt that she had already done a great job helping her.

Ultimately, one must rely on oneself.

Mei Xian reluctantly agreed, but she also felt that she probably wouldn't be able to offer much help.

She's not like Lu Qingning or Han Baobao, one whose family has power and influence, and the other whose family has money and connections.

In fact.

A large part of the reason why Mei Xian and Lu Qingning broke up was not because of the so-called "crush," but because she realized that she and Lu Qingning and the others did not belong to the same world.

Perhaps they once explored secret realms together and experienced life-and-death trials together, but in the end, they were still not on the same path.

The gap between aristocratic families and commoners is too great.

Lu Qingning and Han Baobao can attend the summer camp for youth card masters with designated training, but she can't; if she wants to enter Shendu Academy, she can only rely on her own efforts.

Even if they are lucky enough to get into the same university, they are destined to diverge in the future.

Lu Qingning is a super genius destined to become a top-tier card master, but whether she can become a high-level card master is still unknown.

The huge sense of disparity and inferiority caused Mei Xian's mentality to become unbalanced, to the point that the aftereffects of meditation broke out. In a moment of impulsiveness, she had a big fight with Lu Qingning, and then they fell out.

She regretted it, but didn't know how to mend the relationship.

Admit your mistake?

Mei Xian hesitated for a long time.

She was worried that Lu Qingning wouldn't accept her apology, but deep down she was also reluctant to take the initiative to apologize.

Mei Xian subconsciously felt that she had nothing left in front of her two friends except for that pitiful bit of self-esteem.

In other words, a person lives for a breath of air, while a Buddha fights for a stick of incense.

-

Perhaps it was because he had given Pan Yi a small lesson.

The level 19 upgrade was almost a day faster than Zhou Chen had imagined; he reached it very easily while running dungeons.

"Um……"

He suddenly felt a swelling between his eyebrows.

According to common parlance, this means he can try to advance to the junior level.

give it a try?

The sudden idea was quickly rejected by Zhou Chen.

Not to mention that his mental strength would be weak for a period of time after failing to advance, what if he continued to improve the level of the game panel and eventually automatically advanced to a junior card master?

"Let's talk about it after the game!"

It won't be long, at most a week.

Furthermore, compared to advancing to the beginner level, what's more worth looking forward to right now is reaching the diamond level.

After days of hard work running dungeons and counting the rewards from daily check-ins, I'm just one step away from 3000.

Based on his current average daily diamond earnings from running dungeons, he should be able to complete it around the day after tomorrow.

Although I've acquired quite a few new cards in the past two months, can a gold card be considered the same as a bronze or silver card?

He has already benefited greatly from the Longming Captain title, and with another title, he will directly advance to the advanced level to get even better rewards!

Zhou Chen was already imagining his wonderful life of conquering all high-level dungeons.

Let's win the remaining two games in one go!

He fell asleep with anticipation.

That morning.

The competition in the Silver Division is ongoing. Zhou Chen is too lazy to spend most of the day going to the venue, so he just watches the live stream on his phone.

He's been getting a lot of calls lately.

Especially after defeating Pan Yi yesterday, he's been getting messages from all sorts of friends and group chats, and he can't keep up with the replies.

Hey~

"Okay! The competition schedule has been finalized!"

He looked at the text message that popped up in the window and instantly perked up.

The semi-finals and finals were both scheduled for the same day, with two matches in the morning and one in the afternoon, giving us plenty of time.

The four-hour intervals between matches are enough for the trainee card players to recover their energy.

The text message was short, but Zhou Chen noticed the key point—

The opponent in the semifinals is not that multi-time champion!

"We'll meet in the finals, huh? That's good."

He had looked at the information of the other three people besides himself. They were all regulars in the Yuzhong Cup, and the one who had participated the least had participated twice. This was the third time.

There is no doubt that they are all students of the Card Master Academy, although they are not from the same academy.

After Zhou Chen finished practicing his knife skills at the club in the afternoon, Zhao Shiping and Ding Yinan both wished him good luck before he left. It was clear that they also knew that he would be participating in the semi-finals and finals of the Yuzhong Cup.

Unfortunately, it wasn't until the next day.

He sent messages to Lu Qingning and Han Baobao, but received no reply.

Instead, Shen Jiayi, the junior card master introduced by Hua Ning, started chatting with him again, trying to find out information about the White Ape King.

He won't tell!

Who knows if Shen Jiayi has any connections with the other three opponents? Zhou Chen doesn't have the bad habit of revealing information before a battle.

He brushed it off by saying the competition was about to start, then looked out the window, where a huge arena came into view in the distance.

—The Rising Dragon Arena is located in Pengcheng, one of the eight cities in Yuzhong. Perhaps because of the finals of the Bronze Division, the traffic was even more congested than Zhou Chen had expected.

Left with no other choice, he chose to walk into the stadium. Perhaps because he was wearing a baseball cap, he was not recognized by the crowd of people watching the game from beginning to end.

This quickly cooled down Zhou Chen's slightly complacent attitude.

"Um……"

Keeping a low profile is good, keeping a low profile is good.

Chapter 77: Recruiting the Champion

The contestants' preparation room.

Zhou Chen didn't come last time because he didn't want to stare at Pan Yi, but this time he saw the remaining three people inside.

—They're all older than him.

"Oh! Here it comes!"

The young man closest to the door stood up and said with a smile, "The rising star of Maple City, aiming for Zhou Chen of the Divine Capital Academy."

Zhou Chen: "..."

His name seems to have spread widely in the Yuzhong region.

The young man shrugged to himself and said, "I originally wanted to find a spirit card that could counter you, but I found that it was too different from my control habits, so I had to give up."

So that's their opponent for the next match.

"Please give me more advice."

Zhou Chen nodded politely.

The young man laughed and said, "Don't be so reserved. You are a star of the Yuzhong Cup. Among the top 64, only you and one other person did not enter the Card Master Academy. Now that person has accepted the invitation from Yuzhou Academy."

Yuzhou Academy!

He remembered that he had also received a call from Yuzhou Institute.

However, the admissions office across the street was more straightforward. They came to ask him once if he was interested in applying to Yuzhou College and offered to waive the written exam. After he declined, they never contacted him again.

Compared to card-making academies in smaller towns, the Yuzhou Academy ultimately has more confidence and authority.

At this moment, another multiple champion spoke up, "Zhou Chen, if you are willing to join Yuzhou Academy, I can give you the Yuzhong Cup championship."

These words immediately drew the attention of the three men.

Are they making deals behind the scenes in front of the other players?

Besides, it's not even the finals yet!

Feeling slighted, the two quickly became displeased. "Chu Guangzong! You're too arrogant!"

"You think you've got this in the bag? You're something that won't even reach the beginner level in five years!"

To their surprise, Chu Guangzong ignored them completely, staring straight at Zhou Chen, and continued, "Think about it. Your White Ape is indeed strong, but if you fight me with a pure physical attack, your chances of winning won't be very high."

"Chu Guangzong!!"

A loud, angry shout rang out from the preparation room.

Chu Guangzong glanced at them and said, "Either beat me or report me. It's up to you."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

In the end, the two left indignantly, and the young man who had started the conversation reminded Zhou Chen not to be fooled before he left.

Zhou Chen would definitely not agree.

He had already set his sights on Shen Du Academy, so naturally he wouldn't back down halfway. Besides, he would win the Yu Zhong Cup himself; he didn't need anyone to let him win.

Seeing that Chu Guangzong's attitude was strange, he did not stay in the preparation room any longer and went out to find a place to continue reading about the Lingka.

So far, he has roughly learned about nearly ten thousand kinds of spirit cards. His gradually improving mental strength has also improved his memory. He believes that he will be able to memorize most of the common low-level spirit cards soon.

"Zhou Chen, the contestant!"

The calls of staff could be heard in the distance.

Zhou Chen hurriedly responded, realizing that the first match of the semi-finals was about to begin, and he would be leading the charge against the young man he had just spoken to.

-

Aside from the different Lingka, the opponent in the semifinals wasn't much stronger than Pan Yi.

After the White Ape fought the giant python covered in black scales for several rounds, Zhou Chen came to the corresponding conclusion.
