Master of Trading Star Card Game

Chapter 2: Lifelike star card phantom

Views:

Xie Mingzhe calmed down in the ward for a night, and sorted out all the past memories of the original owner.

The original owner grew up in an orphanage. Due to his talent in painting, he was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Imperial College through an art examination. Imperial University will officially start school on September 1st, today is August 1st, there is still one month left, and he must prepare as soon as possible.

The first thing to do is to find a way to be discharged from the hospital. A "vegetative person" like him spends a lot of money in the intensive care unit for a day. He has no relatives and no reason in this world, and he does not know who pays the medical expenses for him. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe was restless and hurriedly stepped on his slippers to find the doctor in charge.

At eight in the morning, the teenager in Ward 7 suddenly pushed the door and came out.

Dr. Qin, who was doing the rounds, raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously: "Xie Mingzhe? If you don't lie down, what are you doing out of here?" Usually people in a vegetative state are very confused when they wake up, and it takes a long time to accept the real world The change in his appearance was strange for this young man, there was not the slightest daze or depression on his face, and he ran out barefoot in his slippers early in the morning, his face still full of radiance.

"Doctor, when can I be discharged from the hospital, please?" Xie Mingzhe looked at the doctor seriously, "Also, how do I pay for my medical expenses?"

"Every data of your body is normal. I will observe it for another day today. If there is no problem, I will go through the discharge procedures for you tomorrow." Dr. Qin walked up to him, met the clear and bright eyes of the young man, and his voice could not help softening, " As for the cost of hospitalization, you don't have to worry. Because you have purchased critical medical insurance before, you can ask the insurance company to settle the bill when you are discharged from the hospital."

"Thank you doctor." Xie Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that the orphanage had bought him medical insurance when he graduated from high school. Since the insurance company will cover the cost of treatment, at least he doesn't have to carry a whole body of debt, which is good news for him.

After returning to the room, Xie Mingzhe began to organize personal items. At that time, he went to a theme restaurant for an interview, accidentally fell from the third floor, and was taken to the hospital by the onlookers, so he didn't have much with him - only the room card, ID card and smartphone in his pocket.

There is his photo on the ID card, and it is bound to the bank card, so there is no need to worry about being stolen. This room card, in my memory, is the room card of the 10-square-meter small room he temporarily rented in the low-rent housing. As for the mobile phone, it was also the cheapest thing I had saved money to buy. There were not many people's phone numbers in it, because Xie Mingzhe didn't have many friends in this world.

As a result, his personality has changed, and there is probably no one who will pay attention to the change of soul in his body.

Xie Mingzhe packed his things and came to the window in his hospital gown.

There are many high-rise buildings outside the window, there are countless skyscrapers with hundreds of floors, and there are seven or eight-story suspended suspension lanes in the sky. All kinds of peculiarly shaped suspension cars are flying in the sky. Xie Mingzhe opened his eyes wide, curiously. Observe the world.

The intensive care unit he lives in is on the third floor, so he can clearly see downstairs.

A little girl happened to be walking downstairs with a very cute pet. It was an animal he had never seen before. It was over one meter tall.

Is there such a big rabbit? The pink dress is so cute. However, shouldn't the hospital ban pets? Pets will carry a lot of infectious pathogens, what should I do if they are passed on to patients

Xie Mingzhe was a little confused. The original owner's memory could not explain this question.

Just thinking about it, Doctor Qin pushed the door and came in. The middle-aged doctor has a good temper and a gentle tone. He took a therapeutic apparatus to examine him carefully, and said, "You have been lying in bed for two months and have been relying on nutrient solution to maintain your life. There is a certain degree of atrophy, and the weight loss is also very serious. After discharge from the hospital, you need to strengthen exercise to recover slowly."

Xie Mingzhe also knew that he was so thin now that the bones on his body felt numb to the touch. Lying in the ward half dead for a month, it is normal to be thin to a handful of bones. He used to have a good figure and knew how to exercise, so he wasn't very worried about this.

Downstairs, another little girl walked over with a pet rabbit that was similar to just now, and the rabbit was a few centimeters taller than her. Xie Mingzhe finally couldn't help his strong curiosity and asked, "Doctor Qin, what kind of pet is that little girl bringing? Does the hospital allow any pets to come in now?" It's a matter of explanation, so it wouldn't be too strange to ask, Xie Mingzhe thought.

"That's the Star Card phantom." Dr. Qin explained, "The hospital won't let pets in, and we're not veterinarians."

"Star card phantom?" Xie Mingzhe had a question mark on his face.

"It seems that you don't play this game?" Dr. Qin joked, "There are not many young people who can't play this game."

"Cough, I really don't pay much attention to the game." Xie Mingzhe stretched out his hand and took the back of his head, smiling a little embarrassedly. Whoever called him from a poor planet knew nothing about the fashion trends of the prosperous imperial capital. In the eyes of the doctor, you must be a douchebag, right

Star card phantom? What the heck is going on

Xie Mingzhe secretly wrote down this word in his heart, intending to go back and search for it.

After Dr. Qin finished the examination, he instructed: "Your stomach is still relatively weak. Eat some liquid food for the next three days, and then eat normally after three days, but don't eat too stimulating food. Remember?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded obediently: "Remember, thank you doctor."

When the doctor turned to leave, Xie Mingzhe immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, took out his mobile phone and searched for the keyword "Star Card Phantom".

Soon a bunch of information popped up, and the more Xie Mingzhe looked, the more shocked he became—

It turned out that these star card phantoms all came from a game called "Star Card Storm".

This is a holographic card battle online game that has swept the world. It has been in operation for ten years and has more than 3 billion users.

The official launched a lucrative card league as early as ten years ago, and it has been out of control since then. There have even been many professional card competition players who make a living, as well as various formal card clubs.

As a well-known interstellar network battle game, this game can hold the position of the leader of the rivers and lakes for ten years, which naturally has its merits.

The core of the game is all kinds of cards officially called "star cards".

Not only can star cards be used for battle on the holographic network, but there are also a large number of interesting pet cards that can be taken out and transformed in reality. For example, the most famous [Long-Eared Rabbit Star Card] can transform into a cute big rabbit, and the illusion is lifelike, just like there is a real rabbit in front of you.

As soon as this game came out, the girls were going crazy with excitement. All kinds of pet cards, such as Persian cats, teddy dogs, long-eared rabbits, etc., have been popular all over the world for a while. Almost every girl has a few pet star cards in their hands. They can call them out to make fun of them when they have nothing to do—although they are only holographic. The illusions created by projections don't really exist, but they can't stop them being cute!

In addition to the pet star cards that are popular among girls, which are almost sold out, there are also many battle star cards.

Xie Mingzhe took a look at the battle cards that were highly rated on the Internet. For example, the super-popular player Nie Yuandao's top battle star card [Flame Dragon] could summon a fiery red dragon and release a "flame storm" that swept the surrounding area and sent All the illusions around were burnt to ashes; Tang Muzhou's [Millennium Divine Tree] was even more exaggerated, it could directly summon a divine tree that covered the sky and the sun, countless green vines spread rapidly like tentacles, and the power was powerful enough to The surrounding phantom creatures were instantly strangled.

With the emergence of these top battle cards, the leagues launched by the professional card leagues are becoming more and more exciting.

After ten years of development, today's card leagues are very formal, and the business models of major clubs are also very mature. The number of people participating in folk competitive competitions has exceeded 100 million. The top official card league ratings have exceeded 30%. The income of the hands is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It is said that top poker players like Nie Yuandao and Tang Muzhou have an annual income of over 100 million, and the number of fans is comparable to that of top stars.

This made Xie Mingzhe think of the League of Legends, StarCraft and other e-sports games that were popular all over the world in the earth era. He also played such competitive games in college, but he did not expect that today's era is so exaggerated - "Star Card Storm" has almost become National game, 80% of people are playing.

This game has a very high degree of freedom, and all players can create original cards. For example, the two top battle cards of the flame dragon and the thousand-year-old tree that I just saw are all original cards of the professional players. Of course, netizens can also make their own unique cards and cultivate them, which is one of the reasons why "Star Card Storm" has been in operation for ten years.

After Xie Mingzhe read these materials, he really admired the developer of this game.

He was a science student in the 21st century, having studied computer programming, and the technology at that time couldn't make such a game. Today's engineers are really good, especially the "star card phantom projection technology", which can put cute star card creatures into the real world for people's entertainment. Xie Mingzhe just saw the pet that the little girl was carrying and almost thought it was a pet. real!

It is said on the Internet that the biggest difference between real pets and star card pets is shadow and penetration.

The phantom of the star card has no shadow under the illumination of light, and people can directly pass through the phantom. After all, it is only a visual effect created by high technology, and it does not actually exist. Therefore, just now, Dr. Qin could see at a glance that it was a star card phantom—people in this world have long been accustomed to all kinds of phantoms, but Xie Mingzhe made a fuss.

Xie Mingzhe wanted to search for more game information, but at this moment, a text message suddenly appeared on his mobile phone: "Xie Mingzhe, I'm Aunt Zhang, the landlord, I just checked the account. Your rent for July has not been paid, 800 Crystal coins, please pay them as soon as possible."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned. rent? By the way, he originally came to the imperial capital to find a temporary place to stay and rented a house, but this month he lay in a vegetative state in the hospital, and he did not pay the rent.

Xie Mingzhe immediately checked the balance of his bank card with his mobile phone.

Central Bank: "Dear user, your account balance is: 1000 crystal coins."

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

After paying the rent with 800 crystal coins, he only has 200 yuan left.

Judging from the original owner's memory, the price of this world should be similar to the RMB in 2018. How long can it take 200 yuan

How should a poor man like him live? You can't just be reborn and starve to death!

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his temples with a headache and began to think about how he should survive in this strange world.
