Chapter 272 Boys Should Protect Themselves when They Go Out

"Go! Dwarf warrior! Tear the stupid giant lizard to pieces!"

He gave orders to his card spirit in a very middle-aged way. Judging from his appearance, the middle-aged adventurer, who was at least in his forties, was extremely excited.

He wore a weathered leather jacket and a cowboy hat that was popular in recent years. The beard that spread from his temples to his chin was very messy because he was not well-groomed, but his eyes like a falcon made people feel that he was not easy to mess with.

Luther could feel the breath of a "hunter" from the other party.

While Luther was observing this middle-aged uncle, the card spirit in the shape of a dwarf warrior waved his weapon and chopped off the head of the enemy's giant lizard.

The invisible energy gathered in the body of the dwarf warrior, and his equipment suddenly became more gorgeous, and the axe in his hand was replaced with a war hammer inlaid with several runes.

"Oh! Upgraded! Upgraded!"

Seeing the dwarf warrior change his form, the opponent's card player was not angry because of the death of his card spirit, but looked at the dwarf warrior with great excitement.

This card was actually his, but he just lent it to the hunter on the opposite side for fun.

He didn't expect that the amulet he brought from his hometown would actually make the spirit card generate such a powerful spirit.

And on other nearby card tables, similar things were happening at the same time.

However, the spirits driven by those people were obviously not as powerful as the dwarf warrior. After several rounds of attacks, in addition to making the spirit monsters of both sides all injured, not a single one was upgraded.

"It looks fun! Let's go buy a few cards and try it!"

In this world where the entertainment industry is so poor that people sigh, even ordinary cricket fighting seems so interesting, let alone this kind of magic cricket fighting?

Before Luther could hold back, he was dragged to the counter by the fire elemental girl Molly.

After Jialian and others came to Storm Bay, Carl gave them a settlement allowance.

So in terms of wealth, Molly is richer than Luther.

After asking the bartender who sells cards for the price, she sighed that the price of a card pack of 10 copper coins was very cheap, and bought five packs for herself and Luther.

"I have some gadgets brought from Obsidian City in my dormitory. Maybe they can make the spirit of the card get some different changes. Do you want to come to my room and print cards with me later?"

With a bright smile, Molly invited sincerely.

"Okay!"

Without any defense, Luther easily agreed.

...

"Isn't the price of 10 copper coins a pack a bit too cheap? The material of that card is almost 1 copper coin."

On the second floor of the Next Life Bar, Mitris, who is called the proprietress but is actually just the lobby manager, told Carl about the pricing of the card packs a little unwillingly.

Carl glanced at her and gave this short-sighted former enemy and now companion a serious education:

"You can't just look at the present when doing business. Do you want to make money only from the adventurers in Storm Bay? I have contacted the halflings who entertained the Dragon Mark Family. They will help promote this tabletop card game. You can talk to them when the time comes."

In his previous life, Carl bought pirated card packs for 10 yuan a pack from elementary school to the third grade of junior high school. Later, he had to say goodbye to the three boxes of Yu-Gi-Oh cards because of moving. After that, he only bought the original genuine ones once when he just started working.

Compared with the genuine ones, pirated card packs are undoubtedly more popular.

One of the most important reasons is that pirated ones are cheap.

This game has just been born, and it is time to exchange profits for influence.

Things that sell at low prices and high volumes will definitely become popular faster than expensive things. After all, not everyone can use silver coins or even gold coins to buy things.

However, although Mitris understood Carl's explanation, she still felt a little distressed.

Watching the people on the first floor buying card packs from the counter, she felt her heart bleeding.

Seeing her like this, Carl quickly asked about the Rose Cult.

"Have you found any traces of the Rose Cult members who sneaked into Storm Bay recently?"

The previous crackdown in Storm Bay was to drive away those fallen drow. As a platform for providing an environment for intelligence exchange, the Next Life Bar naturally assigned tasks to those intelligence dealers and brokers.

After expecting this serious matter, the distress on Mitris's face finally eased.

"There is intelligence that they are currently building a small camp in the wilderness. Some adventurers met them when they returned and spent a night there.

After the previous incident, their leader seemed to have changed and was no longer so aggressive in seeking other people's vitality."

Recalling the intelligence collected during this period, Mitris did not embellish it, but directly said it according to the content reported by those intelligence dealers.

She was afraid that her subjective judgment would interfere with Carl.

After hearing this, Carl pondered for a while, then stood up from his seat.

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back first."

Looking at Mitris, Carl pretended to be polite.

But Mitris was a little impolite. After hearing what he said, she quickly reported all the other recent problems in the store.

Karl rubbed his forehead, saying "I know" and then left.

Looking at his back as he left, Mithris, who had just looked distressed, raised her chin again, like a victorious male peacock.

Soon, Karl arrived at the Sheriff's Office managed by Lisanna.

Because of the addition of that group of drow and fire elementals, the number of sheriffs here has increased significantly.

After saying hello to the captain of the ranger stationed here, he found the herdsmen he had taken in in the Underdark.

The drow of this tribe are very satisfied with their current lives. They have never thought that one day they can not only easily get food to fill their stomachs, but also eat things with a lot of sugar and honey.

Storm Bay is simply a paradise in their eyes.

"It's best not to eat too much sweets at one time, otherwise you will get cavities."

Looking at these drow with their mouths full of candies, Karl gave his advice with a headache.

But these guys just nodded solemnly, without any intention of spitting out the candy in their mouths.

After taking a few deep breaths in silence, Carl took out the insect stick he had prepared and took them to the training ground to demonstrate it.

After demonstrating the use of the insect stick, Carl asked the former drow mistress seriously:

"If I can provide sufficient equipment, how long can you train a group of herdsmen for me?"

After thinking for a moment, the drow stretched out four fingers: "Four months! But this is the time I got from my previous experience. If you can provide sufficient food and I train them continuously, it will only take about 20 days."

Because of the problem of insufficient food, this tribe will deliberately control the number of professionals, but if the food supply is released, they can actually train rangers one by one very quickly.
