Li Pu didn't know about the treatment of other teachers, but from the looks of this small two-story building, it was clear that Li Fan's treatment was quite good.
It was twelve noon, and he didn't know if the other person was awake yet.
So he stepped forward and knocked on the door, but after knocking for quite a while, there was no response.
Just when he was about to leave, a bleary-eyed Li Fan finally leisurely opened the door.
"Why didn't you call?"
He muttered as he led Li Pu into the living room.
"Grab whatever you want from the fridge to drink."
Thud!
Before Li Pu could even sit down, Li Fan lazily sprawled on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
Li Pu didn't hold back either, directly walking to the fridge and opening it.
Judging from the contents of the fridge, it seemed like Li Fan and a balanced diet didn't get along well.
It was either snacks or alcohol.
With the constitution of a Summoner, Li Pu found it hard to get drunk, so he didn't mind drinking.
So he casually grabbed a can of beer, opened a window, and went back to his seat to wait for Li Fan to come around.
"How did your card collection go yesterday?"
After finishing a cigarette, Li Fan seemed much more awake.
"Teacher, what is your Cube card talent?"
Li Pu responded with a counter-question.
This question brought a smile to Li Fan's face.
"Did you go to the card house last night?"
"I can smell the scent of the cube cabin on you."
He sniffed, and one had to admit, his nose was quite sharp.
"The Summoner's Cube card talents are divided into two types."
After getting a nod from Li Pu, Li Fan began to explain.
"One type is used outside the card game, while the other is used during the card game."
"Which type is your Cube card talent?"
Finishing this, he inquired of Li Pu.
"Outside of the card game."
Li Pu thought it over and figured that his should definitely be the outside one.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity."
Li Fan shook his head sympathetically, indicating regret.
"But that's normal. In fact, the majority of Cube card talents are used outside of the card game."
"The ratio is roughly 99:1."
"Talents used outside the card game can only be considered auxiliary within the Cube card community."
"For example, quick shuffling, carrying duplicate cards, perceiving the cards on magical beasts, discovering hidden synergy effects, auto-building decks, and so on."
Strictly speaking, Li Fan was the first insider that Li Pu had come into contact with, so all these insights he heard were entirely new to him.
"As for Cube card talents used during the card game, they are referred to within the circle as 'the chosen ones.'"
"Oh, no, it should be 'the chosen card players.'"
"Although on the surface, Cube card talents used during card games often seem weak, almost unable to disrupt balance and fairness."
"But you have to know that if others have the in-game talent and you do not, it's already an imbalance and unfairness."
"In a closely matched game, a slight tilt can be the deciding factor."
"The top tier players in the community are almost all chosen card players."
"There are almost none with talents used outside the game."
After setting the stage, Li Fan once again looked at Li Pu.
"Teacher, what exactly is your Cube card talent?"
Li Pu obligingly asked the question.
"Heh heh."
Li Fan chuckled twice, puffed up his chest proudly, and said, "Of course, I'm also one of those geniuses. My Cube card talent is the ability to rethink moves."
"That's not a chosen card player at all, you're just a scoundrel."
Li Pu couldn't help but blurt out.
Everyone says once a move is made it can't be undone, but those who rethink moves in games or cards are just scoundrels.
"Look at how you're talking, haha."
Li Fan's skin was thick, and he wasn't offended.
Moreover, he'd long been accustomed to such phrasing.
Go ahead and ask around the whole capital card circle; who doesn't know about his title as the King of Rethinks from Seven-Star Street?
If you want to talk about being a scoundrel, well no, instances of beating the strong while being weak are countless.
"But you don't need to lose heart, even though Cube card talents used outside the game are relatively weaker, with effort, you can still become an excellent card player."
"So, what exactly is your Cube card talent?"
Now it was Li Fan's turn to ask.
"Here."
But Li Pu didn't answer directly; instead, he handed over a stack of cards that had already been unbound.
"Hmm, not bad."
At a glance at the quantity, Li Fan knew this student wasn't one to slack off.
If he could maintain such efficiency, he might just finish the collection task in two or three weeks.
Of course, even if the other finished early, he wouldn't demand a payback of a portion of the wages.
After all, the money had already been given, and it was earned by the other person.
"Looks like you pretty much turned that Mushroom Valley upside down."
Slowly flipping through the cards, looking at each projection that jumped up, Li Fan's expression gradually showed satisfaction.
Among the Cube card community, there's a saying: there are no useless cards, only unskilled players.
Any card can be useful in the right situation.
So even though those mushroom cards might seem weak, he never complains about having too many cards.
Another thing that pleased him was that, actually, when he left that day, Li Fan had incidentally observed all the kinds of magical beasts in the entire valley from the sky.
Of course, if he were to take action personally, it probably wouldn't take him half an hour to complete the collection.
The reason he didn't take action is that he wanted to assess whether Li Pu's work was meticulous.
Now it seemed that it was quite comprehensive.
Except for the smallest quantities of two-headed mushrooms and three-headed mushrooms missing...
[Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom!] x5
However, when flipping to the last card, Li Fan's thought was entirely interrupted.
A mushroom with five heads caught his attention.
"What card is this?"
The bizarre appearance left Li Fan dazed.
Then he looked at its skill information...
"Hmm, it looks pretty good, probably between D+ and C+ levels."
His experience and insight naturally surpassed Wu Dong by a lot.
"But I have a feeling something isn't quite right."
Thinking it over, Li Fan fetched a tablet device from his storage space.
This tablet wasn't an ordinary tool; few card players were qualified to own it.
Not only could it determine the card's specific level based on the special energy intensity contained within, but it could also link to the Federal database network and Cube card world to provide reference information for identification.
So, holding the [Five-Headed Mushroom], he swiped it over the tablet device.
[Beep Beep!]
[Class C Card!]
[Limited Edition!]
The mechanical female voice announced a string of information.
"What?!"
The last two words almost made Li Fan jump up.
Limited Edition!
What does limited edition mean? It means that for now, at least in the entire Federation, there is only this one card!
One should know that before he sent out his cards, he only had a B-level limited edition card.
Limited edition cards not only have extremely high collection value but are generally stronger than other cards at the same level too.
Little did he expect the card in his hand now to be a limited edition card?
"Where did you get this card?"
The next second, Li Fan's hand was on Li Pu's shoulder.
Unconsciously, he didn't control his strength either.
This situation made a few lines of dialogue pop into Li Pu's mind.
1. Teacher, you're hurting me.
2. Take your dirty hand off, thanks.
3. Guess?
The three options didn't seem great, so he chose to remain silent, enduring the pain and keeping a calm face.
In such moments.
The fewer the words, the cooler you look.
