I open the card pool all over the universe

Ke Jin looked at the gray and dilapidated small courtyard in front of him, feeling a little dazed.

There are some dry wood-like stakes scattered around the periphery, and they are strung together with rusty wires, which are the walls of this courtyard; there is no door at the entrance, and there is a blunt and rough opening, which is considered to be a courtyard. The gate is closed; the yard is covered with loess and weeds. It may have rained yesterday, and some places are extremely muddy, with footprints left by stray cats and dogs.

Ke Jin had only seen such dilapidated and desolate courtyards in documentaries in remote mountainous areas that had not yet escaped poverty, but at least there was still a door for them!This one doesn't even have a door!

What makes Ke Jin even more desperate is that just a few hours ago, he crossed into this world because of a car accident, and was forced to bind a thing called "card pool management system". The great cause (?) of opening Kachi all over the universe” will be immediately sent back to the scene of the tragic car accident in the original world—that is, he will die.

And this dilapidated little courtyard in front of him was the starting point designated by the system to start his "glorious career of card pool management".In the words of the system, it is - "A good start is half the battle, the road to entrepreneurship is already under your feet, and a bright future is ahead!"

...Don't fall apart before it even starts!This yard looks like it's about to be demolished!

In the center of the courtyard stands a suspected small pavilion. The pavilion is surrounded by a red-painted fence. Although it looks solid, the exterior is weather-beaten, and the red paint has almost fallen off. The roof of the pavilion is spread out like an umbrella. There were some broken cobwebs hanging inside, and there were holes in several places. Standing below, Ke Jin felt the wind pouring down from the top of his head, making his heart feel cold.

Directly below the pavilion is a dry well, and the well is so dark that you can't see the bottom at all.Because he had learned the knowledge of this world from the system before, Ke Jin knew that this was his "card pool".

In this world, there are such card pools everywhere, but only a few people with special talents can open the card pools.They can enter the different space at the other end of the card pool, where they can create and renew cards, so that the card pool is always full of energy, and then ordinary people in this world can draw a variety of cards from the card pool Card.

This kind of special group of people who can manage and maintain card pools is called "card envoys" by people in this world. Governments in various places also have formal official organizations to uniformly organize and manage card envoys and card pools.

Ke Jin is now a "newly awakened card envoy". As an outsider in this world, the system has established a complete set of identity information files for him.

After checking the information, Ke Jin learned that his name, age, and appearance were exactly the same as before, but his identity became an orphan. He was withdrawn and introverted since he was a child. He never made friends. After graduating from a vocational college, he did not find a suitable job, and has been doing odd jobs for a living. Now he still owes a bank loan of more than 2 star coins.

Ke Jin was in debt at the beginning, and Ke Jin didn't feel anything at first, until he saw a system prompt - "If you are still in debt for three months, it will be judged as a mission failure and the host will be sent back to the original world immediately."

... This is completely the rhythm of dying if you can't pay back the money!Loan usury chasing money is not so cruel!

Before seeing his own card pool, Ke Jin was still very motivated to "pay off the debt within a time limit", but after seeing this dilapidated small courtyard of the card pool, his heart was completely chilled.

Ke Jin looked at the dry well of the card pool with a heavy heart. According to the guidance materials provided by the system, he knew that the card pool had not yet been activated.But what made him even more speechless was that even such a broken card pool, he couldn't open it now, because he needed a transporter.

——To put it simply and roughly, he is in urgent need of a "European Emperor".

In this world, the "first draw" of the card pool is very important - if the first card drawn in the pool is SR level, then before the card pool undergoes a qualitative change, the card pool can only draw SR cards at most, and it will never appear SSR card.If you can't get out of the SSR card pool, not to mention the slow upgrade, the number of customers you attract will shrink significantly; as for the card pool with only R cards in the first draw, it is basically useless, and there is no hope of turning around in this life.

And "Fortune Master" is a special profession dedicated to the first draw. Unlike ordinary people's momentary good luck, the "European Emperor Attribute" of a fortuneteller is generally very stable. Of course, if you want this group of special people to make a move, you must charge some fees.

Ke Jin squeezed the savings crystal card in his pocket resentfully - his initial capital was only more than 1000 star coins. Although he didn't know how much it would cost to hire a transporter, how could it be so easy for "Emperor Ou" to hire a fortune teller? , Think with your toes and know that this amount of money is absolutely not enough.

Ke Jin covered his face and sighed a few times, then turned to look elsewhere in the yard.

In the northeast corner of the yard, there is a small bungalow, which according to the system is for Kashi to live in.Ke Jin walked over to take a look, and luckily the house had a door, but the door panel was tattered and looked like it could fall down at any time.

The house has a simple layout of one living room, one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom, even with simple furniture. Except for a little more dust, Ke Jin couldn't be more satisfied—it would be nice to be able to live. Sleeping on the street!

***

After visiting his small courtyard in Kachi, and cleaning the house briefly, it was noon in a blink of an eye, and Ke Jin felt a little hungry.Although the basic facilities in the kitchen are complete, there are no seasonings or ingredients, so Ke Jin can only go out to look for food. By the way, he wants to know the prices here.

Ke Jin really seriously suspects that his Kachi courtyard is in a remote mountain valley, and the location is so bad!He walked along the rugged loess mountain road for 10 to [-] minutes before he walked onto the neatly paved concrete road and saw other houses and buildings and people passing by.

This should be a small town. Although it is not as prosperous as the city, it is still thriving.Ke Jin had heard the system introduce the situation of this world before, and knew that there are many galaxies and alien planets here. He thought it would be like the high-tech society seen in movies in the past, all kinds of high-tech society, but now walking on the street Look, it's also very common!In fact, it is not too different from my past world, with ordinary people, ordinary buildings, and ordinary daily life.

Ke Jin looked all the way, and found several Kachi small courtyards, which occupied a smaller area than his own. The courtyards were paved with neat and clean bluestone slabs, and the Kachi kiosks were also beautifully decorated, each with its own style and style. Features, many people lined up in front of the card pool to draw cards, looking orderly.

Seeing Ke Jin staring outside the door, a beautiful young girl came out of the yard and smiled at him.

"Hello, sir, are you here to draw cards?"

Although he has been instilled a lot of knowledge by the system, Ke Jin has never personally experienced what the card-drawing process is like in this world. Now that he is asked, he is immediately moved.

"Uh... what type of card pool do you guys have?"

The girl smiled and pointed to the sign hanging next to the gate, which was marked with eye-catching words - [L** Literature Network novel card pool, draw ten star coins, ten consecutive draws will result in a new R card!The latest XXX masterpiece "XXXX" is on the shelves!Best-selling top ten cities!Tens of thousands of fans are pumping wildly! 】

Ke Jin: "..."

Do you even have to draw cards to read novels here?And there are too many slots in this slogan! !

However, ten star coins are not too expensive to draw, so Ke Jin ranked at the end of the draw crowd without much hesitation.The person in front was very efficient, and it was his turn after a while.

Like the Kachi in his own courtyard, the Kachi here is also a well, but at the moment, the water inside is full of light, and the clear and transparent blue well water seems to overflow at any time, reflecting Ke Jin's curious face.

Cash can be used to draw cards, and crystal cards can be used. Ke Jin happened to have a ten-star coin on his body, so he followed the example of others and threw the coin in his hand into the well water.

The coin sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared instantly. Almost at the same time, ripples appeared on the surface of the water. Ke Jin only felt that a card with a faint gray light had rotated and appeared above the water surface.

Ke Jin stretched out his hand, and the card flew into his hand immediately as if it had a spirituality.Ke Jin looked down, and as expected—even worse than expected—he drew out an NN card, the last of the bottom.

Ke Jin stepped aside, stepped aside and continued to look at the cards in his hand.The size of this card is about the same as the divination tarot cards he has seen. There are some simple patterns drawn on the front, and there is a very eye-catching title "XXXX", which is probably the cover of this novel; the author is marked on the back. and something like an intro.

Now, here comes the problem——

How to use this card?How did he read what was inside? ?

Probably seeing Ke Jin's embarrassment, the pretty girl who had been observing the customers came over enthusiastically.

"Sir, do you need any help?"

Although a little embarrassed, Ke Jin could only tell the truth.

"It's the first time I draw a card, I don't know how to use this card..."

A look of surprise flashed across the girl's face.Although not everyone is keen on drawing cards, it is really rare for someone who has never drawn a card pool or used cards since childhood.

"You need to have a card reading device first, which can be found in any card specialty store." The girl said, "If you don't want the most advanced built-in type, they can give away the ordinary plug-in type for free."

Ke Jin hurriedly wrote down the knowledge points that the system did not provide.

The girl looked at Ke Jin carefully again, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, are you a new resident in the town? I don't seem to have seen you before." Such a handsome young man, she will definitely take a look at him forgot.

"I'm indeed just here." Ke Jin scratched his face, and pointed in the direction of his small courtyard, "I live there, and I will open a card pool in a few days."

"Ah!" The girl immediately held out her hand in awe.

"Disrespect and disrespect, I didn't expect to be in the same industry. My name is Gu Qianqian. I have lived here since I was a child. I have been awakened and have been running this novel card pool for five years."

Reciprocating courtesy, Ke Jin shook hands with the other party and introduced himself.

"My name is Ke Jin. I just celebrated my 20th birthday yesterday. Uh... I just woke up in the past few days and haven't opened the card pool yet, so I don't know the type of my card pool yet."

"Ah, have you found a lucky teacher yet?" Gu Qianqian asked with concern.

Ke Jin shook his head, and inquired about the price by the way: "How much does it cost to hire a transporter?"

As soon as Gu Qianqian heard this question, she knew that she was a complete rookie in front of her. She probably didn't know anything about the card field before awakening as a card envoy, otherwise it would be impossible to ask such a layman's question.

"This mainly depends on the level of the operator. The higher the level, the greater the reputation, the higher the ranking, the more expensive the fee." Gu Qianqian patiently explained, "It can be as little as hundreds of thousands or millions, and as large as hundreds of millions. There are tens of billions."

Ke Jin, who only had one thousand star coins in his pocket, almost knelt down: What? ! !How expensive is it to hire a transporter? ! !There are still more than [-] million? !Are you stealing money? !

Unaware that the young man's complexion turned pale in an instant, Gu Qianqian still enthusiastically introduced: "If you need, I can recommend a few for you, or you can go to the 'Cashi's Home' forum to find , There is a lot of operator information over there, as well as the evaluation and user experience of the operator on the operator, which should be able to give you a lot of help."

"Ah..." Ke Jin reluctantly pulled back his floating soul, and quickly jotted down this unknown point of knowledge, "Thank you, thank you, I will go and have a look."

Gu Qianqian is an enthusiastic person. When she is not talking, she looks like a quiet, long, straight black beauty. When she starts talking, she is a bold and bold lady.Seeing Ke Jin's ignorant look, she was full of love, and she told a lot of introductory information about the card envoy, until someone came to invite Gu Qianqian to eat at the house, and the two stopped talking unsatisfactorily.

After politely declining Gu Qianqian's invitation to stay for a meal, Ke Jin left the Kachi courtyard after the appointment was made.

***

Ke Jin first went to the card store that Gu Qianqian mentioned to buy an external card reader. This thing looks a bit like an electronic watch, and when using cards, just swipe on the dial.

Ke Jin tested the card he had just drawn on the spot, and it turned into a thin book, but the card could not be restored to its status after being used, so Ke Jin casually put the novel in his pocket Here, I plan to watch it when I have leisure time.

Then he spent ten star coins in a small restaurant to order a bowl of plain noodles, but he almost vomited after taking the first bite—it was so unpalatable!However, Ke Jin was so shy in his pocket that he definitely wouldn't waste it. In the end, he pinched his nose and ate all of it, making him half-full.

After finishing his lunch, Ke Jin went to the market for a stroll, and found that the prices here were really similar to those in his original world.He carefully calculated and bought a batch of daily necessities. Although he had saved to the extreme, he still spent nearly [-] star coins, and his meager savings dropped by a quarter in an instant. Ke Jin was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

Carrying big bags and small bags on the way back, he just walked into his desolate and dilapidated yard when he was stunned.

There are some red marks on the loess ground in the courtyard, which look like blood stains, scattered all the way to the hut in the northeast corner.

Through the open window, I could hear some rustling noises from inside the house, and if I listened carefully, it seemed that I could hear rapid breathing—a little weak, but very clear.

There's...someone in the house.
