Chapter 388: Black Market Card Obtained
Yuchi Xueyao looked at him with a half-smile.
Her gaze carried a hint of satisfaction and playfulness.
As if Luo Sheng was her toy, and certainly one of her most satisfying toys.
“Your abilities are quite good, actually escaping easily from the pursuit of a platinum-level Card Master. If you were to fight them, you’d probably last several rounds. You might even end up in a draw. I have high hopes for you.”
Yuchi Xueyao patted his shoulder, speaking with a tone of praise.
Of course, she didn’t mention anything about additional payment.
Yuchi Xueyao directly used words of praise to divert Luo Sheng’s thoughts of asking for more money.
Luo Sheng was immediately speechless and complained inwardly.
It was truly like making a horse run without letting it eat grass.
He had risked his life to capture Dongli Wutian, and even found the Evil Card Master’s hideout. This was undoubtedly a great merit.
Moreover, he had exposed the platinum Evil Card Master on the other side.
He felt he deserved at least a Good Citizen Award by now.
Luo Sheng felt like he had fallen into a wolf’s den, with Yuchi Xueyao being a big grey wolf, like a heartless boss making him work with his life.
Seeing his dejected look, Yuchi Xueyao sneered.
“Asking for so much for just a favor, you’re the most peculiar student I’ve ever seen.”
Yuchi Xueyao clearly didn’t mind Luo Sheng asking her for compensation, rather finding it interesting.
After all, her former students were all obedient and respectful to her.
They would do their best to complete the tasks she gave them without asking for anything in return, pretending to be selflessly dedicated.
They indeed looked like model students.
They were also the excellent disciples in the eyes of all teachers.
However, Yuchi Xueyao felt that the more they worked for her for free, refusing her goodwill, the more they actually had ulterior motives.
Such people were useful, but sooner or later they would drag her down with them.
But Luo Sheng was different.
At least this guy stated his price clearly, making people feel more at ease, unlike certain people who might suddenly blurt out: “I’ve been helping you for so long, is it so hard for you to sacrifice yourself a little?”
Yuchi Xueyao said: “Don’t worry, you won’t miss out on the benefits. I’ll help you apply for the Good Citizen Award. I heard the reward for assisting in or capturing Evil Card Master members is not low, it should be about 500 card coins.”
“Thank you, great teacher.”
Luo Sheng revealed a bright smile.
He hadn’t expected that this capture operation would not only get him a platinum-level defense card for free but also such a huge reward.
It was enough for him to continue renting the villa for 10 months.
Luo Sheng handed Dongli Wutian over to her. Yuchi Xueyao sensed the other’s spiritual jade, and finally took out a card from it.
She handed it to Luo Sheng.
And said: “Here, this is your reward. Don’t say I’m stingy as a teacher.”
Luo Sheng took the card in front of him and glanced at it.
【Hidden World】

Creates several hidden, illusory tunnels in the real world, leading to a strange world. The type of world is chosen by the creator, with a space size of 8,000 cubic meters.

Yuchi Xueyao directly threw this card to him. Luo Sheng asked in confusion: “This is?”
Yuchi Xueyao explained plainly: “This is the card you’ve always wanted most – the Black Market, or rather, the most basic thing to create a black market.”
Luo Sheng muttered: “This thing should be quite valuable, right?”
“Yes, it’s indeed quite valuable. A similar card would cost at least 10,000 card coins,” Yuchi Xueyao said casually.
She then retied Dongli Wutian.
Then she used a strange power to completely seal his spiritual jade. Dongli Wutian was now like a puppet that could be manipulated at will.
He wanted to struggle.
But was knocked out by a punch from Yuchi Xueyao.
Then she carried him on her shoulder.
Luo Sheng, hearing her explanation, was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected this basic card to sell for such a high price.
This price was already at the level of high-grade platinum cards.
Seeing Luo Sheng’s shocked expression, Yuchi Xueyao said: “What’s there to be so surprised about? With a black market, you’ll have a constant flow of funds. You can earn back this money in less than 10 years.
Of course, if you’re good at management, you might be able to earn it back within 3 years.
However, don’t think it’s too simple. A black market isn’t easy to manage. First, you must have strength. Second, if you look at the requirements above, you’ll know that you need to find several things to keep the black market running continuously.
Otherwise, it will just be a flash in the pan, appearing quickly and disappearing just as fast, to the point where it gradually comes under the management of the Alliance, because only the Alliance has vast resources.”
After saying this, Yuchi Xueyao turned and walked towards the company without looking back.
She was obviously going to deal with the subsequent matters.
Because she heard the sound of battle coming from the company, it seemed that the Evil Card Masters were trying to break through the encirclement and were fighting with the Security Bureau.
And judging from the intensity of the sound.
The Evil Card Masters were quite desperate, and even many gold-level Evil Card Masters were involved.
Yuchi Xueyao had a deep hatred for Evil Card Masters.
Especially since the two incidents in Pingcheng were caused by Evil Card Masters, and she had to clean up after them.
Yuchi Xueyao suddenly jumped and disappeared on the spot.
Then she appeared at the other end of the company.
She unhesitatingly used some cards, instantly suppressing the high-intensity battle.
A moment later, Luo Sheng no longer heard the sound of battle.
He didn’t know if that platinum-level Card Master had been captured.
Luo Sheng put away Bai Moxue.
Looking at the card in front of him, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
The card Luo Sheng had been yearning for was now in his hands. “I didn’t expect my wish to come true, it’s really exciting.”
He had always hoped to have his own small base.
Whether to run a black market or not, Luo Sheng didn’t have much interest at the moment, but creating a secret base was his most urgent thought right now.
After all, he had too many secrets.
At this moment, Xu Yourong jumped out from the darkness, gently supporting Luo Sheng, with a hint of worry and nervousness: “Are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, I’m tough.”
“But you were chased by a platinum-level Card Master,” Xu Yourong said again.
She had been on a distant rooftop earlier, witnessing the platinum-level Card Master using powerful skill cards, trying to snipe Luo Sheng.
Then, a violent explosion occurred in mid-air.
Seeing this, Xu Yourong was shocked and hurried over, fearing that something might have happened to Luo Sheng.
Fortunately, the contract sense they had signed was still there, and Xu Yourong confirmed that Luo Sheng had not died in the explosion.
Then she found him on this street.
Luo Sheng looked at her worried face and showed a bright smile, then took out a card and waved it in front of her.
“Look, this is the platinum defense card I got with great difficulty.”
In Luo Sheng’s hand was a platinum 1-star 【Angel’s Shield】.
Luo Sheng patted her head and said: “Don’t worry, because of this card, I didn’t suffer much damage… Let’s go, we shouldn’t stay here long.”
“Mm-hmm.” Xu Yourong nodded.
Afterwards, the two returned to their villa at the fastest speed.
At this time, Luo Sheng let out a sigh of relief.
He slumped onto the sofa.
The intensity of this battle was quite high.
Luo Sheng’s use of that platinum-level defense card consumed 2% of his spiritual power, which was already one of the highest spiritual power consumptions among all his cards.
Of course, second to that was the black and white ring, which consumed nearly 5% of spiritual power per hour when running at full power and high speed.
After all, the black and white ring was a platinum 7-star card, and the level gap was too large, so it couldn’t be used for long periods.
It could only be used for instant bursts.
Xu Xiaoqin looked at the exhausted Luo Sheng and also asked with concern: “Are you hurt?”
“No, just consumed too much spiritual power, need to rest for a bit,” Luo Sheng casually replied.
At this time, a news report appeared on the television.
“Now for an urgent news report, the Security Bureau received a tip-off about an Evil Card Master hideout discovered in a building in the Yunji District of Yuncheng. They are currently conducting arrests.
There is still one fugitive at large, the platinum 3-star Murong Yu. We ask all citizens who spot him not to act rashly, but to immediately report to the Security Bureau. We will dispatch our best officers to handle the situation.”
Xu Xiaoqin looked at this news report, then turned her head to look strangely at Luo Sheng, who was lying on the sofa.
