The Card Maker of Time Travel

Chapter 23 A New Beginning

When Gu Chen got off the interstellar spaceship, he took a deep breath, the feeling of breathing fresh air down to earth was great.

Gu Chen has been imagining what kind of high-tech interstellar spaceship is, and how special it feels.But in fact, Gu Chen felt that this feeling was not very different from the feeling he had on a cruise ship before.Dull, uncomfortable, a sense of wandering beyond sight.The surprise of seeing the vast universe for the first time was quickly replaced by a feeling of helplessness that could not be seen for a long time, just like Gu Chen once yearned for the sea infinitely, but it is a pity that after two days sitting on the cruise ship, he looked at the vast expanse of space. The sea, the inexplicable sense of helplessness that arises quickly dilutes the joy.

"I feel like I don't want to be an interstellar spaceship anymore, half my life is gone." Gu Chen said weakly.

Zeng Jiang didn't look very good either.The ticket given by Tianling before was already the best private room and the best bed.But that long-term closed feeling is really uncomfortable. "It won't happen in the future. Blue Star is already one of the outermost planets, so the distance to the central star is very far. And in the future, if your card making power or magic card power reaches level nine, you can directly Traveled far."

If Gu Chen's head is still awake, he will definitely complain, "You fucking think this is a self-cultivation fantasy novel! You still step through the void! Do you want to set it so casually!" Unfortunately, his head is very dizzy now, and the only thing he thinks is Find a bed and lie down and eat a big hot meal and finally take a hot shower.

The two followed the navigation to the house that Zeng Jiang had rented on Xingji.

Gu Chen was completely dumbfounded when he saw the house, only Zeng Jiang stepped in calmly.

This is a two-bedroom room, and the rooms are very small, which is completely incomparable with the spacious room in Blue Star before.The whole house has an old feeling from the inside out. The rusty iron rods and dusty old furniture gave Gu Chen the illusion of going back to the house he rented when he graduated.

Gu Chen suddenly remembered that there was a debate when he was on Earth, "Would you choose a bed in a big city or a room in a small city?" Gu Chen said that he would choose a room in a small city. This traditional thought of taking root in the ground made him feel that wandering is just a process, and there is still a place to settle after all.Now that he moved from Lanxing, which made him feel satisfied with everything, to this strange central star, Gu Chen began to regret a little.

Zeng Jiang didn't say anything, and started to pick up tools from the storage ring and start cleaning.Gu Chen wanted to help, but was stopped. "As far as your level is concerned, it's better not to add to the chaos. I think the decoration and soft furnishings you bought before are pretty good. Take the money, and you can navigate to a mall or something to buy some furniture you like."

Gu Chen was a little moved. In fact, where to live is really not the most important thing. The most important person is by your side, so you can feel at ease wherever you are.Taking the money Zeng Jiang gave, Gu Chen decided to do a good job of decorating.Houses can be rented, but life cannot be compromised.Even in this dilapidated little house, I want to arrange poems and distant places!

The ambitious Gu Chen died not long after he came out, because he... got lost.

Gu Chen, who does not admit that he is a road idiot at all, said that the navigation in this place is too bad, it is not as good as the Baidu map and Gaode navigation on the earth.Standing blankly in the bustling traffic, Gu Chen wondered who to ask for help.

At this moment, there was a ticking sound from the communicator. Gu Chen thought it was a communication from Zeng Jiang, but when he clicked on it, he found that it was an unfamiliar number.Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and clicked on the connection.

"Oh boy, you've come to Central Star, you actually look much better than your online image." Yu Chiyu's big face jumped out of the communication screen.

Gu Chen looked at the other person's familiar face, and was a little puzzled: "How did you know that I came to Central Star?"

Yu Chiyu rolled his eyes gracefully: "Please, didn't you turn off the positioning of your own communicator? I thought you were just an idiot on the Internet, but you are also an idiot in reality."

Gu Chen lowered his head and studied it, only to find that there is indeed a real-time positioning function on the communicator.

"Hey, hey." Yu Chiyu, who was just studying there and ignored him, was depressed. "Brother, are you still on the phone? By the way, what are you doing in Taoka market?"

"Tao card market?"

"Well, the central star sells cards that have not been verified by the machine, and the channels are different. Some can find cards that are several times higher than the price they bought, and some bought a bunch of useless cards on the street. "Yu Chiyu expressed his disdain, as a person who has used the best cards since childhood, he is too lazy to go to such a place to try his luck. "I've been to that place twice, just walk around there, I'll go find you now." After speaking, he hung up the communicator.

Gu Chen was immediately dumbfounded, how could there be such a self-assertive person who feels good about himself.Gu Chen, who originally wanted to ask for help in the home furnishing market, suddenly regretted it. If he knew this, he might as well place an order directly on Xingji.com.

Gu Chen reluctantly started wandering around the neighborhood, just as Yu Chiyu said, this place is indeed a shopping card market, full of voices, and everyone's face is filled with expressions of joy or frustration.

Gu Chen never liked being crowded, so after looking at two booths, he wanted to find a place to rest.

"Brother, are you new here?" A child suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, his face full of immaturity.

Gu Chen looked at the strange child, with frizzy but neatly combed hair, and the same plain but clean clothes.

"Yes, I just came here today." Gu Chen didn't know which chord the child touched his heart, he suddenly felt his whole body soften.

The child raised his face: "Is my brother also here to buy cards?"

Gu Chen shook his head, he just got here when he got lost.

The child hesitated for a moment, but still showed a bright smile: "Then let me go for a walk with my brother."

Gu Chen hesitated, originally he just wanted to find a place to have a good rest, but seeing the child's innocent smiling face, he finally nodded.The boy's smile made him unable to bear to refuse.

The Taoka market is very lively, reminding Gu Chen of the gambling stone market when he was traveling in Tengchong, Yunnan.There, he witnessed overnight riches and bankruptcy. As a venture capitalist, Gu Chen was judged as the lowest risk bearer. Even depositing Alipay had to consider whether it would be risky. No interest at all.

And what Gu Chen doesn't understand is that the reason why gambling stones came into being is because even in today's most advanced science and technology, there is no instrument that can see the internal structure, color and cracks of rough stones.However, like the card equipment here, you can easily check various detailed attributes. I really don't understand why people here want to block.

The boy looked at Gu Chen's undivided attention and asked, "Is brother a card master?"

"Oh, no." Gu Chen shook his head, "Barely count as a card maker, you can only make second-level cards."

"Oh, I thought my brother would come to the card market to be a magic card master."

Gu Chen was attracted a little attention by the crowd next to him. One person seemed to have found a good card, and he was overjoyed. People around him also congratulated him, but the jealousy in his eyes and the smile that didn't arise spontaneously made Gu Chen feel uncomfortable. .

"Why do you think they want to buy cards?" Gu Chen seemed to be asking himself or a child.He really didn't understand why Taoka.Betting on stones may also be based on water, color, and cracks, and this card looks almost the same except for the flawed card, so is it possible to bet on any new tricks?

The child seemed to see the boy's doubts: "Brother, you are from another galaxy."

Gu Chen nodded.

"The card hunting market here at Central Star has been around for a long time. It may not be clear whether my brother is a second-level card maker. The value of each card above five stars is relatively expensive, especially the seven-star and eight-star cards. So at this time, card hunting The market was created. Some of the flawed works of the card maker, or the works without flaws but I feel that there is no good work, so I did not use the instrument to present the card attributes, but sold it directly to the market at a wholesale price. The market uses a slightly higher The price is available for everyone to buy. You may buy cards that far exceed the money you paid, or you may buy cards that are worthless. After all, cards are a big consumption, not everyone is that big The children of the family can always use the best cards." The child said, his eyes darkened.

Gu Chen seemed to understand a little bit.In fact, the main reason is that he is too nerdy. If he went out for a walk when he was in Blue Star, he would find that the relatively large card shops actually have this kind of business similar to buying cards.Some defective cards will not be accurately priced by the instrument, but will be priced at the same price. Some of the cards you buy are worth far more than others, and some may not even be usable.Oh yes, the cards he once made are also part of it.However, this kind of cards on the edge planets are very low-level cards. Basically, the six-star cards sold in the store are already placed in very important display cabinets. However, in the central star, the six-star cards will also appear in the Taoka market.

Gu Chen suddenly had the urge to buy some cards to try.

Probably seeing Gu Chen's wavering, the child pulled Gu Chen's hand: "Brother, do you want to go to my family's store and have a look?" The child's voice was soft and waxy, and Gu Chen felt melted. "good."

The child's shop is in a relatively remote street, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, it is really deserted.It was a very dilapidated house, in Gu Chen's opinion, it was even worse than the house he rented.The house has two floors, and the lower floor is used as a storefront. An elderly middle-aged woman is sitting at the door of the store fanning the wind.

When the middle-aged woman saw two people approaching, she greeted them enthusiastically. "Sir, come and take a look at our cards. It's better to wait for one. It's much better than the cards outside. If it wasn't because it's in the small street, it would definitely be rounded up."

The child tugged on the middle-aged woman's skirt and called out "Mom".

The middle-aged woman ignored the child and still warmly greeted Gu Chen, "Look, these are a new batch of cards that arrived last week. They are said to be the works of graduates of Chaodi Academy. value."

Gu Chen actually prefers to buy things in peace, and doesn't like this kind of overly enthusiastic chatter.Looking at the child with his head bowed beside him, he squatted down and took his hand: "Little brother, come and introduce me to brother."

The child's eyes lit up immediately, "Brother Enhao."
