Chapter 1578: Esports Tournament Part 5

Zhang Jingyi’s voice quickly spread all across the restaurant.

And surprise, surprise, there were also a lot of people in the restaurant who were invested in the Divine World trading card games.

As soon as she finished her exclamation, many customers were astonished.

"What Demoness god card did he pull?"

"Can we all take a look?"

"I’m willing to pay you triple the market price for that!"

Since there were only a handful of Demoness God Card versions, the market price for them was always at the highest. Some even managed to purchase one of them for the price of 50 thousand dollars.

Yes, some people were simply that rich that they could splurge 50K without batting an eyelid, whereas there were still the poor who could only enjoy a ramen cup.

Actually no, even a ramen cup was considered luxury nowadays.

"Whoops." Zhang Jingyi smiled awkwardly. She didn’t expect all the other customers were invested in the Divine World trading card game too.

"Sorry, not for sale." Xu Feng simply turned to the crowd and said frankly.

Although he wasn’t going to play the trading card game, he didn’t mind collecting the card of his girlfriend.

Moreover, it was quite the fancy style.

’Hmm, should I get someone to purchase more and collect a whole stack of Demoness?’ He wondered what Carmen’s reaction would be.

Soon, the nearby employees told the rest to calm down and not disturb other customers.

Added to the fact that Xu Feng’s tone made it clear that he had no intention of selling any further, any further persuasion would just make them look bad.

"My turn." Zhang Jingyi grabbed her pack. She did the trick to have the last card as the best one.

"Alright, here we go."

The atmosphere quickly dropped to pin silence as Xu Feng quietly watched Zhang Jingyi pull each card with extreme care.

But one thing he noticed was that whenever OneManMedia appeared, she would toss it without much regard.

’Hah, you have my condolences, Wei Xing.’ Xu Feng couldn’t even imagine the next time he streamed, how many people would hurl curses at him.

Would it become a streaming bomb?

’Nah, knowing him, he probably has a bunch collected and described the cards individually in the stream to increase sales.’ He was positive that Wei Xing knew how to sway people’s mindset and misdirect them.

It was a trait necessary if one wanted to enter the media industry.

Just when he was distracted by his thoughts, Zhang Jingyi suddenly slammed her palm on the table.

"Damn it!" She hissed coldly and dropped her cards.

’Oh, it’s a dud...’ Xu Feng took a glance and noticed there were no rare cards among them.

Not every pack was guaranteed a hit.

"This is so unfair." Zhang Jingyi cried and stared at Xu Feng. He managed to pull a god card right away, but all she pulled was a dud.

Does that even make any sense?

She didn’t suspect or curse the store either because there was a warning that each pack they sold wasn’t weighted or anything. They were all delivered in a box where they opened to sell the packs individually.

Any stores that tried to pull such action would immediately be called out and placed on public trial.

The public opinions were not something to be trifled with.

Once your reputation tanked and everyone knew about your shady methods, even the suppliers would avoid you.

"Um, do I go again or do you want to open your last one?" Xu Feng asked.

He kind of wanted to get over with the packs opening so he could order food.

Afterward, he could suggest the proposal he had for her and her brother.

Zhang Jingyi’s brother was Zhang Tie Quan, otherwise known as the Guild Leader of the Tyrant Fist Guild, Herald Fist.

Herald Fist and the Tyrant Fist Guild had been very loyal customers of their Vanguard Guild since its early days. Not to mention, they didn’t pour salt on their wounds or cooperate with others to take them down a notch.

Of course, that wasn’t enough for him to consider them for an alliance because there were other guilds that met the requirement, such as the Phoenix Guild.

The reason why he ultimately chose Tyrant Fist was because of Zhang Jingyi. Her ability and connection were quite valuable.

Moreover, she knew his real-life identity personally—something that the others lacked.

"I’ll go again!" Zhang Jingyi was unaware of his thought process.

She proceeded to open another pack, and her mood went even lower.

"Ugh... Lightning Blade." Zhang Jingyi’s facial disgust was visible. It was a Super Rare, but the character was someone she had completely no interest in.

She had literally dueled this person before, and to be fair, he was a bit lacking.

"Hmm, that card could be sold for a good price." Xu Feng commented lightly. "He has a decent fanbase, and some girls would love to collect his cards."

"Yeah, some girls, but not me." She rolled her eyes and exhaled deeply. To think that both the packs she chose were so bad.

Was this what it meant to be super unlucky?

’Why did we even publish these two?’ He was afraid that they might lose fans if the rest started to behave like Zhang Jingyi.

He could understand OneManMedia not being well-liked, but even Lightning Blade?

That was quite surprising, considering he had quite a good reputation and willingness to help newbies out.

He was about to open his remaining pack until he noticed her drooling-like eyes.

’Sigh, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.’ He lamented and shook his head. He then moved his pack toward her.

"What are you doing?"

"Letting you open them."

"Are you taking pity on me?"

"No, I’m just hungry and prefer seeing the menu." He rubbed his stomach and held the menu to look at the food. The restaurant was crowded, but they still hadn’t made an order yet.

Had it not been for Zhang Jingyi’s identity, the waiters would have been checking on them every second to inquire if they wanted to order or not.
