Chapter 16 Card Sales
North Side.
Xiangye Street, not far from Qingyueka Mansion.
The streets are bustling with colorful billboards one after another, and there are countless card shops.
Lowering the brim of his hat a little, Lin Dou mysteriously stood at the door of a card store, looked around, and tiptoed the door in.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and when he heard someone coming, he immediately showed a professional smile and looked up.
Burst.
I almost didn't come up in one breath, the middle-aged man stopped laughing, he almost didn't cry, this Nima is.... Hell yes!
A vintage suit that is more than one circle bigger seems to be about to fall off the slag, and he walks on extremely retro Martin boots and limps, like a rooster.
There is also a mask on his face, which is colorful, what is the painting?
Sure enough, it blocked Dou Shao's handsome face.
Lin Dou nodded with satisfaction, the two star cards were finally freshly baked, and he naturally couldn't wait to come out and sell them.
However, I still remember Grandpa Lin Luo's words, you can't reveal your true identity when selling cards.
So Lin Dou has already prepared, this set of outfits is to follow Grandpa Lin Luo before leaving, it seems that the effect is good, as for Grandpa Lin Luo, will he miss the big stick fried meat very much after he knows?
With a dry cough, Lin Dou learned from his grandfather's tone and said hoarsely, "Such a rude boy, could it be that there are no first-class cards here?"
Yes?
Seeing the ghostly guy speak out, the middle-aged man finally regained his composure, and his eyes lit up. This guy has a lot of confidence in speaking, isn't he a big customer, and there are a lot of weird rich people.
"Yes, yes. ”
The middle-aged man answered, and immediately moved a chair for Lin Dou to sit on, poured the best tea in the store by the way, and stood next to Lin Dou respectfully, pointing to the brilliant cards placed in the transparent counter.
"Sit down, sir, you've come to my house to find the right person, I sell all the best cards here. ”
"Oh?"
Lin Dou looked a little suspicious, "So powerful, you won't lie to me, right?"
"Of course not. ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Who doesn't know that my card store is a time-honored brand, and it has been in business for a hundred years, and I don't know what Mr. needs..."
Saying that, the middle-aged man's eyes peeked at Lin Dou, and he was secretly happy in his heart, although this guy was eccentric, he looked confident, and he definitely looked like a rich man.
Sitting on the chair steadily, Lin Dou sipped his tea, seemingly satisfied with the middle-aged man's attitude. In his eyes full of inquiry, with a stretch of his little claws, Lin Dou slapped a benchmark engine card on the table.
"In that case, then I can also give you my cards with confidence, and make an offer!"
Inside the card shop, there was an instant silence.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened and he looked at Lin Dou who was quietly sipping tea, and his eyes swept the benchmark engine on the table again, and he didn't speak for a while.
"Get out!"
The voice behind him was deafening, and he was kicked out of the card store in a gray manner, and Lin Dou looked indignant.
If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, why are you still scolding, you don't have quality.
With a heavy snort, Lin Dou walked into the second card store again, but after a while... The sound of the card store closing was heard again, with the shopkeeper gritting his teeth.
No way?
Lin Dou's heart sank, and then he walked into the third and fourth card stores.
However, as soon as Lin Dou said his purpose, the owner of the card shop immediately changed his attitude, and politely invited him to come out, and scolded him politely.
"Why?"
In the seventh card store, a handful of hair under Lin Dou's top hat was about to stand up, and he asked unwillingly.
At least the card store should give him a chance to prove himself, right?
The shopkeeper had a zombie face and said coldly, "Idiot, don't you know that the supply of card shops on this street is provided by the city government?"
Even if it is to collect cards, it will be the handiwork of the card masters, those real strange spells, what kind of fun do you have with a benchmark engine card, there are seventeen or eighteen in my store. ”
Ayutthaya!
The little heart was cold, and Lin Dou finally came to his senses.
Everything related to cards on the continent of Kalas is undoubtedly the most lucrative business, and it is naturally impossible to have a powerful shadow behind it.
Just say that Beicheng is small from life cards to star cards, all kinds, basically monopolized by the city government and other forces, and there is no shortage of goods at all.
Unless he has the reputation of a card maker, how can the cards made by ordinary people be bought in the card store.
Only after reacting to so many restrictions, Lin Dou's big eyes turned red.
Thinking that the cards he had worked so hard to prepare could not be sold, Lin Dou was not crazy, but crazy.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Dou said with a vicious aura, "I don't believe it... Will no one accept the cards made by grandpa?"
......
No one!
The sky gradually turned dark, Lin Dou grinned and walked down the street in disappointment.
He ran out to sell cards in the morning, and ran to I don't know how many places, but there is no harvest so far.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, lights flickering, and a crowd of people.
It was a group of well-dressed and vibrant young boys and girls, and at the front of them were five hovercars, different colors, but each one was estimated to be worth a fortune.
The engine card in front of the body flashes brilliantly from time to time, ready to go.
Drag racing?
Lin Dou blinked, understanding that this was a game that the rich children in the city liked to do, and it belonged to a variant of Pai Dou.
Put a variety of engine cards into the hovering sports car and increase your speed to determine the winner or loser. The key to success is the engine cards, of course, the city government has a lot of restrictions, but this group of rich children don't care about the fine.
"The race will start soon, and this time the winner will qualify for the Higashikawa Circuit!"
A thin and tall young man in the crowd said loudly, which immediately drew cheers from the audience. Especially some young girls, they were so excited that they almost took off their already small clothes. As if by the atmosphere of the outside world, the five hovering sports cars also continued to emit a strong roar, vibrating the eardrums.
A moment later, after the cards in the hands of the tall and thin young man changed colors, the five hovering sports cars suddenly rushed out like lightning, and in just a few blinks, they had disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The crowd behind him was not in a hurry, and they all scattered and waited happily. Because they had already planned the track, five cars would run three laps around the track, starting and finishing here.
"Woo, these guys are fine enough to fight and make less money. ”
Lin Dou pouted, but his big eyes swept across the audience, wanting to see if he could find some business opportunities.
Not long after, amid the cheers of the crowd, the shadows of the five hovering sports cars reappeared. One of the pitch-black sports cars had already taken the lead, sprinting over, and the engine card in front of it was glowing in brilliant colors.
Behind him was a silver sports car, even if it was not a small distance, but it still clung to it.
However, just as the silver sports car crossed the starting line, the engine card on the front of the body suddenly made a crisp sound, white smoke rose, and it stopped after running for more than ten meters.
No way?
In the face of this scene, everyone looked at each other, and even a second delay in this kind of speed competition may affect the final result.
"Damn it!"
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old man dressed in a colorful cardigan came to the car in a rage and took out his engine card and examined it carefully.
And several other hovering sports cars behind him also quickly chased after them, one of them poked out half of his head, fat, grinning,
"Chen Shao, hurry up and go home, hovering sports cars are not just rich enough!"
Hearing this, he suddenly made the cardigan jump to his feet with youthful anger.
There were also bursts of low laughter from the crowd, and their eyes were full of ridicule, but no one dared to raise their voices.
Everyone knows that the cardigan young man's name is Chen Zang, but he is just a gentleman who eats and waits for death, but behind him, the sister Chen Yu, who is known as the first beauty in Beicheng, is the head of the Chen family in Beicheng, which is scary enough.
Turbo Engine, a two-star base quality card.
Behind the crowd, Lin Dou's big eyes were always fixed on the card in Chen Zang's hand, and he could see the origin at a glance.
But everything related to card fighting has always been a project that Lin Dou pays attention to. This card is said to have been made by a master in the North City, and it has always been a hot idea for improving the benchmark engine and greatly increasing the speed of hovering sports cars.
But it seems that without the engine card, this hovering sports car can no longer move.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Dou's mouth rose.
In front of the silver sports car, Chen Zang's face was angry.
This kind of race is racing against time, looking at the few hovering sports cars in the distance, he has no time to prepare a speed engine card, he can only watch himself lose the race, how can he not be annoyed.
"Bitch, fuck me!"
A slap lined up the cards in his hand in front of the sports car, and with a bang, the crowd was so frightened that the onlookers hurriedly retreated, and at this time, it was best to stay as far away from Chen Zang, who has always been irritable.
Just when Chen Zang was angrily about to take a stand, he suddenly felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled.
"Brother, you're missing my engine card!"
Chen Zang was stunned for a moment, there were really few people in Beicheng who dared to call him brothers, and he almost didn't spurt blood after turning around.
This ghostly figure is not Lin Dou or anyone, his little hands are shaking, and what he is holding is the benchmark engine he made.
"Boy, you dare to fool me?"
Chen Zang's face was gloomy, this kid is simply crazy, give him a benchmark engine?
If this kind of card could run a race, then he wouldn't have to spend a lot of time trying to get the good engine cards.
Who else dares to touch Chen Shao's moldy head?
Seeing that the ghostly figure dared to greet Chen Zang at this time, the others all looked at Lin Dou teasingly, thinking that it would be strange if this kid was not beaten away for a while.
However, with his little hand dangling, Lin Dou said leisurely, "You have been delayed for almost seventeen seconds, even if you go to prepare now, it will take time, without my card, you will lose, if you have a chance to live, choose for yourself." ”
You!
The corners of Chen Zang's mouth paused, his clenched fist was released again, his expression hesitated, and finally he angrily grabbed the benchmark engine in Lin Dou's hand and put it into the car.
Watching Chen Zang walk back to the body, Lin Dou suddenly smiled and said, "Five thousand crystal coins at a time, if you win the game, you will increase the price!"
5,000 crystals at a time!
Chen Zang's footsteps froze, and he couldn't wait to turn around and slap Fei Lin Dou immediately.
Even if he is a local tyrant, he knows that the benchmark card of Rotten Street is no more than 3,000 crystal coins, and this kid dares to ask for 5,000 at a time, obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob. However, at this time, Chen Zang was too late to scold Lin Dou, and when he entered the sports car, he was reluctant in his heart.
Using a benchmark engine to start his hovering sports car can be said to be a ruin of his car.
As soon as his eyes were closed, Chen Zang mobilized his crystal power, looking like he was dying early and living early.
The card on the front of the body suddenly lit up, and then there was a violent shock.... Thunder through the streets!
Airplanes!
The air flow was flying, and the dust was everywhere, which frightened countless boys and girls around them, and they almost fell, and their frightened eyes looked at it, it was actually the hovering sports car that was Chen Zang.
At this time, the hovering sports car roared like thunder, and the base engine glowed white from time to time, like a bloodthirsty beast ready to break free from its cage.
Even Chen Zang, who was sitting in the car body, was extremely flustered, his hands and feet were numb from the strong power that clearly came from the body, and an unbelievable look appeared on his face, "You are.... Benchmark engine?"
Standing under the fragrant leaf tree on the street, Lin Dou folded his arms with satisfaction, and said in an old-fashioned manner.
"There's no time to explain, hurry up and drive!"
