"You're not a native of Nolan?"
Qiao Xiu browsed the competition information records filled in by the contestants, and his eyes fell on the column of names.
Dorothy Bexner.
Joshua remembered the name Dorothy, and there was a player named Dorothy in the "Minecraft" server of the Fourth Princess.
This name is not common in Nolan.
After taking a look at the girl standing in front of Qiao Xiu, he could basically conclude that she had just come to Nolan, and... hadn't found a place to put her luggage yet.
"I am from the country of steel."
Dorothy answered Joshua truthfully, she didn't think there was anything to hide in such a thing.
In the country of steel, Joshua has never opened a branch of the Hearthstone Tavern outside of Nolan.
And those outsiders' impression of Hearthstone Tavern is no different from that of ordinary taverns. Even if Qiao Xiu broadcasts the advertisement of "Black Rock Mountain" on TV, Qiao Xiu does not think that the girl wanted to participate on a whim after watching the advertisement. game.
After all, after seeing the advertisement, even Nolan's crowd focused on "Where did that black dragon come from!"
"Miss Dorothy, the minimum requirement to sign up for the Nolan Open is to have a complete deck and a ranking in the tavern within 2,000."
Joshua could confirm that the red-haired girl in men's clothing standing in front of him was the Dorothy who played Minecraft with the Fourth Princess.
"Complete deck? I have a total of twelve."
Dorothy waved her hand to open the interface of her magic web and wanted to show Joshua her deck, but Joshua smiled and shook his head.
"The beta version on the magic web doesn't fall under the 'cards you own' scope."
Joshua interrupted the girl's actions to start the game "Hearthstone".
"Test... version?" Dorothy didn't quite understand the meaning of Joshua's words.
"These cards don't exist in reality, Miss Dorothy, can you understand?" Joshua said.
Dorothy nodded. Of course she understood that the magic web was a completely virtual world, whether it was Nefarian, the black dragon in Hearthstone, or the dwarf with a red hat in Super Mario. They are all virtual products drawn by people.
And then somehow bring them to life in an imaginary world.
"Those cards on the magic net are just for you to experience." Joshua took out a palm-sized black original spar, which is also the "card box" for storing the legend of Hearthstone. "The cards in it are the real ones. It belongs to you, um... Since you are the first contestant from the country of steel, this original spar is considered a gift."
Dorothy took the original spar that Joshua had placed on the table, activated the original spar with magic power, and a transparent interface appeared from the original spar.
This is the interface for my collection in Hearthstone.
"I'm missing... a lot of cards."
Dorothy flipped through the cards in the collection. The cards in it were seriously missing, and there were only a part of the novice deck.
"It's up to you to collect the missing cards," Joshua said.
"Collecting, it sounds a bit like a dungeon adventure story." Dorothy was a shrewd businessman, and she quickly understood the specific meaning of Joshua's collection. "How much does a card cost?"
"Well, if you're just starting to build your own deck collection, I suggest you start with card packs first."
Joshua pointed to a magic machine behind him, which was a magic machine specially used to buy card packs.
Years in business had Dorothy on alert at this moment.
But if she wants to win the next Nolan Open, it is impossible to fight with these basic cards.
She walked slowly to the magic machine and embedded the black crystal into the groove of the machine.
Now Dorothy can only pray that the so-called card packs won't be so expensive.
"One... gold coin?"
Dorothy froze for a moment, staring at the price of a card pack.
If she remembered correctly, the exchange rate of Nolan's gold coins and the currency of the Iron Country, Bisrk, was 3.2 to 1.
That is to say, the price of a card pack is about one-third of the price of Bisker!
For the same price, you can have a full meal in a relatively ordinary restaurant in the country of steel!
In the past, Dorothy might have thought the price was just a little "expensive", but now she only had fifty-two bisques in her entire body.
In exchange for Nolan's gold coins, there are only one hundred and sixty-six gold coins.
This money is enough for her to go to the wand store to buy a high-quality magic wand. If she saves a little, she can spend about half a year in Nolan!
But here, it can only be replaced with one hundred and sixty card packs. The key is that the cards opened in these card packs are still inscriptions that only exist in the original spar. They are not real things, but virtual things. !
Is it really worth it
Dorothy was lost in thought.
In the end, she still put all the ten gold coins on her body into it with the reason of "this is to save her family's business".
Seeing ten gold coins turned into ten card packs, Dorothy felt blood dripping from her heart. This bleeding feeling was far more uncomfortable than when the Chamber of Commerce kept losing money.
Because this is using the private money she saved!
Ten new packs of classic card packs appeared in her collectible inventory, and Dorothy opened her own card pack directly on the purchased magic machine.
"Ten packs have a Lay on Hands? The shipment rate is still good." Joshua said aside.
"Why both common and rare qualities."
Dorothy looked at the newly added cards in her collection with some confusion. All of them were of common and rare qualities. The only special one was the epic-quality "Lay on Hands".
"Legendary cards are not so easy to get, you need enough luck." Joshua said.
At this moment, Dorothy had completely understood that she had fallen into the trap of a profiteer.
She forcibly stabilized her inner excitement and looked at the magic machine in front of her.
"What are the odds of getting a legendary card?" Dorothy's firm had also held such a lottery event, and even the highest prize had at least a chance of getting it.
"One percent...probably."
Hearing Joshua's answer, Dorothy took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
The magic machine in front of her seemed to have turned into a monster that devoured money and was attacking her wallet with its claws and claws.
One percent! Or maybe... In other words, if you want to own a legendary card, you need to draw at least 100 packs of the same card!
This is one hundred gold coins!
What's even more terrifying is that there is more than one legendary card in a deck!
At this moment Dorothy understands why someone on the caster forum is posting a special post to celebrate after getting a legendary card!
"What about buying cards individually?"
Dorothy didn't dare to gamble with her own net worth anymore, and she might end up living on the streets of Nolan as poor as that time.
She remembered that the cards Joshua had just mentioned were purchasable!
"This is made by other Hearthstone players who choose to sell the card after opening it. Of course, the price is also set by them. There is also a special consignment service here."
Under the guidance of Joshua, Dorothy turned on the card consignment function on the magic machine in front of her.
A large number of Hearthstone legend cards are displayed on it, and the prices are clearly marked. Judging from the names marked under each card, these cards are from Hearthstone players, not the operator of the tavern itself.
Dorothy was the first to see this kind of trade, and she searched for the card she wanted the most.
That was the warrior's legendary card "Grom Hellscream", which quickly showed more than a hundred results, and the price of each card dazzled Dorothy a little.
Especially the golden Grom Hellscream cost as much as 1,500 gold coins!
This is also a bit too expensive, are all Hearthstone players so rich! This is no ordinary civilian game!
Are these legendary cards completely comparable to luxury goods!
Dorothy felt a little tight in her chest. This was the second time she had lost to "money".
Even if she spends all her net worth now, she probably won't be able to get together a set of warrior decks that she plays on the magic net.
Is it only for this reason to give up the game
Wouldn't it be nice to be a countess in Orsenburg! What kind of Hearthstone game are you running over here
Dorothy's inner grievance had reached its peak. She groped for her wallet and found the last gold coin in it.
It's a memorial.
She let out a slight sigh, and threw the gold coin into the mouth of the "money-eating" monster machine in front of her, preparing to go back to her hometown to get married after she finished drawing the card pack.
A classic card pack reappears in Dorothy's collection.
The card pack shattered into five points under Dorothy's click, and the five cards were spread out. She weakly clicked on four of the cards, all of which were low-level ordinary quality cards.
The price on the consignment line is less than a silver coin.
However, just as she pointed to the last card, an uplifting voice rang in her ears.
"Wow! The Golden Legend!"
Dorothy froze there. She quietly looked at the card floating in front of her eyes. The name of this card clearly read "Ragnaros, Lord of Fire Demons"!
The golden flame demon king!
Dorothy's experience in Hearthstone this month told her that Ragnaros, the Fire Lord, is definitely the strongest orange card in Hearthstone, and it can be carried by almost all late-stage decks!
The terrifying versatility of this card also determines its high price.
Dorothy immediately called up the consignment page and found the price of the Balrog's card.
"Ragnaros, Lord of Fire Demons, golden legendary quality, consignor: Axe of Frost, price 4,821 gold coins."
Four thousand gold coins... She drew a golden legend worth four thousand gold coins with one gold coin!
Dorothy felt a little unsteady on her feet. The ups and downs of life made her head a little dizzy. It was Joshua who was next to him who reached out his hand to support Dorothy, who had weak legs.
"Your luck is better than I thought." If Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, the girl only opened eleven packs.
"I... Maybe I can open a few more packs. Can you exchange Bisrk for gold coins here?"
Dorothy has fully understood why the card pack is so expensive at this moment, and some people will pay a lot of money to buy it!
This is the game! The girl had already tasted the aroma of luck, and she was not going to stop there.
"I don't provide currency exchange services here, but I think there are many customers willing to help you."
Joshua looked behind Dorothy. When the Golden Flame Demon King was born, a group of dwarves in the back had put down the cards in their hands, and looked at the red-haired girl in disbelief.
In the eyes of these dwarves, the birth of a golden legendary card is no less than a relic that can still be used in the ground!
