Chapter 74: 20 blind boxes, 1 won.
Chapter 74: 20 blind boxes, 1 won.
Finally, there was a heart-shaped gift box tied with a red ribbon with gold trim.
The orange-yellow outer packaging paper is printed with a bright purple heart pattern.
Looking at this last hope, the brother and sister's hearts beat faster involuntarily.
"Brother, what should we do now?" the younger sister asked anxiously.
Zhang Qingzhe gritted his teeth: "Let's open it together."
Just like last time, the two of them pulled the ribbon together.
Then extend one finger from each hand and place it on the tightly closed lid.
"Three, two, one..."
The lid popped open.
boom--
Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky, and bright light burst out from both windows at the same time.
If a ship were to see this from the sea, it might mistake it for a lighthouse.
Countless gold foil sheets popped out at once and fluttered down.
A strange fragrance, carried by golden mist, suddenly filled the entire room.
Zhang Qingzhe's heart suddenly raced, and he abruptly released [Mage's Hand], grabbing the card that was slowly descending in mid-air, and once again holding it up in front of his sister.
The younger sister glared at her older brother angrily, complaining that he always used her as a guinea pig.
Then, she turned her warm, large eyes to the words on the card.
The next second, she froze.
Blood rushed to her head, making her vision go black, and she slumped softly onto the sofa.
Zhang Qingzhe was startled—
His purpose in searching for that card was to save his sister.
But if we scare the younger sister badly before that, then we're really putting the cart before the horse.
He rushed over and pinched his sister's philtrum.
After a while, the younger sister slowly woke up. "Brother...did you see the card?"
"not yet."
"You really know how to hold back..."
"I'm waiting for you to tell me."
"It's... a LV7 [High-Tier Card]."
Zhang Qingzhe's breath hitched.
After taking a few deep breaths, he held the card up to his eyes.
Card Name: Necromancer
[Level: LV7]
[Effect: Transforms the witch's remains into your contracted spirit; the witch will retain all her power from her lifetime.]
Zhang Qingzhe's pupils suddenly contracted.
If his sister hadn't warned him in advance, he might have fainted too.
Having seen the LV5 [Fel Creation] card before, he now has a better understanding of just how powerful this LV7 [Necromancer] card truly is.
My sister has now fully recovered.
She jumped and bounced on the sofa, finally falling into her brother's arms, and the two of them tumbled onto the floor together.
She straddled her brother's waist, her fluffy, shoulder-length hair falling down and gently tickling Zhang Qingzhe's face.
"Brother, we've struck it rich! This is a LV7 high-level card, and an extremely rare one at that! It's worth at least ten million!"
Zhang Qingzhe smiled gently, running his fingers through his sister's soft hair: "But I don't plan to sell it."
He thought further ahead—
If this card were to enter the market, it would likely fall back into the hands of Kang Ping or other individuals with ulterior motives.
Then the illusions you foresee in your mind might become reality in another way.
To protect her younger sister's safety, and also for Gu Xintong and Xia Qiwei.
Zhang Qingzhe felt that he had to keep this card in his own hands.
The younger sister frowned:
"But this is a LV7 [High-level Card]... Brother needs to reach at least the [Grand Card Master] level to use it."
Zhang Qingzhe slowly sat up and carried his younger sister back to the sofa.
"Even if I can't use it for the time being, I still want to keep it in my own hands."
The younger sister blinked her warm, large eyes, then suddenly seemed to remember something: "Is it... related to the prophecy you saw?"
"That's right. This card is crucial; it absolutely cannot fall into the wrong hands."
"Is that so..."
The younger sister happily hugged him again, saying, "Then I support you, brother. I believe you will keep improving and one day you will be able to actually use it."
"Yes, I will try my best."
Holding the card in one hand and gently embracing his sister's slender waist with the other, Zhang Qingzhe felt exhilarated at that moment.
It was as if no difficulty could stop him, and a bright future was sure to come.
But this atmosphere didn't last long before it was interrupted by a remark from her younger sister.
"Brother, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Well--"
Zhang Qingzhe suddenly realized a very serious problem—
He had already spent all 200,000 yuan in one go, and the brother and sister were back to living on meager rations.
Seeing her brother like this, the little sister's face fell.
Zhang Qingzhe shrugged and grabbed his phone: "Don't rush! Let me borrow a little more."
The call was connected.
"Hello, is this Gu Xintong? The danger has passed," Zhang Qingzhe said.
"Really?" came a surprised voice from the other end.
"Okay, you can move around freely from now on."
"Very good!"
"Um... could I borrow a little more money?"
"I don't have any left, but I can ask my family for some. Just wait a moment."
"Um!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qingzhe gave his sister an "OK" sign.
The younger sister stared at her older brother in shock.
I feel that my brother has lost all sense of shame and is heading straight towards becoming a professional gigolo.
A short while later, the phone rang with a notification sound, indicating that another 20 yuan had been transferred into the account.
Gu Xintong also added a message:
"It's true! My family did a divination for me, and they said I'm really safe. That's great! See you at the usual place tomorrow."
"That's good." Zhang Qingzhe replied happily.
The younger sister glared at her brother, feeling obligated to help him pull back from the brink.
"Bro, you don't even open blind boxes anymore, why do you still need to borrow so much money?"
This sentence reminded Zhang Qingzhe.
He was so happy that he completely forgot about this.
After thinking for a moment, he transferred 180,000 yuan back to Gu Xintong.
"Is it all right now?" Zhang Qingzhe asked.
"Hmm! That's more like it." The younger sister was finally satisfied.
Zhang Qingzhe let out a long sigh of relief.
Instantly, I felt a sense of relief throughout my body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The blind box opening operation was full of twists and turns, and several times it was fraught with danger.
However, the result was good, and the goal was achieved.
In total, he opened 220 blind boxes.
Each blind box costs 1,000 yuan.
In other words, a total of 220,000 yuan was spent.
The amount of money owed to Gu Xintong was exactly this amount.
If you calculate it this way, the amount of money he has is the same, and he can still maintain his previous standard of living.
But what you get is real and tangible.
The most valuable one, of course, is the Lv7 [Necromancer] card.
According to her sister, if they were sold, they could be worth at least ten million.
There's also a Lv5 [Fel Creation] skill card, which is quite valuable.
The other miscellaneous cards that came out can basically be ignored.
A rough calculation like this shows that he really made a killing.
If I sell all these cards, I can achieve financial freedom immediately.
But this is, after all, a world of magic, and the lack of strength always makes one feel uneasy.
What's more, he also has a witch sister to protect.
Therefore, Zhang Qingzhe decided to keep the card for his own use.
As long as you keep improving your skills, financial freedom is just a matter of time.
Having temporarily put aside their worries, the brother and sister spent a pleasant night together.
