After deciding on the name list, Baiyi prepared to summon the Voidwalkers, but a few of them were in the middle of a lecture, so he decided not to interrupt them. Since he was not in a hurry, Baiyi decided to take a stroll around the academy that he had built with his own hands.
"Tsk, tsk. What a beautiful view! What a peaceful atmosphere! What a pleasant view!" Baiyi could not help but feel a sense of pride as he looked around the academy. He could not help but admire the man who had built this place. "I'm so impressed with myself!"
After strolling around, Baiyi arrived at the Student Activity Center. It was a five-story building with a small theater, a chess room, and a variety of saloons. The saloons were healthy, positive, and decent, not the French saloon or the Lust Saloon.
This was the main place for students to relax and relax. It was still early in the morning, but the place was already bustling with activity. Vaguely, he could hear people shouting, "I got it! Hahahaha! "," Kill this stinky seal! ", and so on. It was probably the students who did not have classes in the morning, so they were having fun.
Baiyi stopped in his tracks. He had not been to this place ever since it was built. Usually, he paid more attention to the students' academic performance and did not pay much attention to their spiritual and cultural lives. But he did hear that there was some kind of ranking board? And that he was ranked at the bottom of many of the boards? Although he was respected by the students, he was not very popular.
That was not good. The students must have some kind of misunderstanding about him. Baiyi walked in and wanted to see what the students were doing. It would be best if he could blend in and change those untrue rumors.
The first floor was a large club. Inside, some students were playing chess, and some young couples were looking at each other lovingly. When they noticed Baiyi's arrival, they quickly sat up straight and coughed to remind their classmates that he was not here.
The students seemed to be in a state of frenzy, so they did not notice Baiyi's arrival. Instead, they seemed to be instigating something.
"Go on! How dare you say you love her if you don't do it? "
"If you don't even dare to do it to your wife, what else can you do?"
"Don't be a coward! Just do it! Don't worry about next month's living expenses. I got the card, so what if I have to eat dirt? "
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the student who was surrounded in the middle wiped off the fine sweat on his forehead. He clenched his teeth and threw a gold coin into the box beside him. Then, he stretched out his hand and poked the top of another box a few times. After a short while, ten card-like items were spat out from the top of the box.
The student quickly grabbed the cards in his hand and flipped through them one by one. The people around him also held their breaths and paid attention to his final result.
The first nine cards were quickly flipped through, but there was no reaction. It seemed like they weren't the cards that he wanted. Until the last card, the man slowly flipped through the Last Hope, revealing a portrait of a man in black with a mouth full of white teeth and a smile.
"Hahahaha! I've sold something! Hahahahaha! I finally sold it!!! " That person immediately let out a hysterical laugh. He pushed the crowd aside, waved the card in his hand, and rushed out of the club.
The rest of the students looked at him sympathetically, feeling sorry for him and sighed, "Sigh, another crazy one …"
"Can anyone go comfort him? If the Chieftain is properly trained, he'll be quite useful, won't he?"
"Would you use it if it were you?"
"Ugh … Forget it. That's just bad luck …"
After the cards were drawn, the crowd lost their focus. Only then did they notice Baiyi, who had been standing there for some time. The students were startled, and they straightened their backs and bowed to Baiyi. "Sir!"
"Alright, alright. Relax. Don't be so stiff. Also, leave that box behind. Don't even think about stealing it," Baiyi said loudly.
The two students, who were about to take the card box and the money box with them, obediently put the box down and lowered their heads in shame.
"Who taught you this game?" Baiyi asked. He walked up to the box and scanned it with his psychic energy. Sure enough, there was a formation set up inside the box, and it looked exactly the same as his own. Baiyi did not even need the students to tell him who had set it up.
One of the students admitted, "Sir, it was the Emperor's Teacher."
This further confirmed Baiyi's suspicions. To be called the Emperor's Teacher and to be able to popularize card drawing games in the academy, who else could it be other than his unreliable teacher? The old man had not played card drawing games for a very, very long time ever since he had descended into the real world to become a teacher. Baiyi was a little curious as to why the old man had suddenly changed. Or was it because he was the Sage-Emperor of the Magi, who could effectively restrain his desires?
Now, it turned out that the old man had made a DIY one, and he had even used it to swindle the students out of their money. How could he be so shameless? What was worse was that the old man had been swindling the students out of their money, and now he was asking for a pay raise. That was too much!
"What did you do with the money?" Baiyi asked, pointing at the money box.
"Part of it was used to print the cards. This formation costs a lot to maintain, and the paint and paper are expensive. The rest was used to help the students who were struggling financially," one of the students answered honestly.
'Huh? What's going on? That old man didn't keep the money for himself? ' Baiyi thought, puzzled.
The tuition fees for Da Xue were exorbitant, and many ordinary families could not afford it. However, parents were always kind, and there were always some families who scrimped and saved to send their children to Da Xue. After all, it was not easy to get into Da Xue, and these parents did not want to disappoint their children.
The students who were struggling with financial difficulties were usually very sensible. They scrimped and saved after enrolling in Da Xue, and they took the initiative to do odd jobs in order to raise their tuition fees. Some kind-hearted Voidwalkers, such as the Alchemists and the Engineers, did their best to create as many jobs as possible for the students as possible. This way, not only did it solve the students' financial problems, but it also saved Baiyi's labor costs.
As the Emperor of Da Xue, helping the poor was one of the Archmage's duties. Thus, he created this game to satisfy his craving for the game, and at the same time, it allowed the wealthy students to pay for the students' expenses. It was killing two birds with one stone.
It seemed that the playful old man was quite good at doing things.
"Is there any other way to play this game? If it's just drawing cards, I don't think you guys are that crazy about it, right? " Baiyi asked as he picked up a card. On it was a drawing of a beautiful and adorable fairy lady. It was not in the oil painting style that was common in this world. Instead, it was in the style of a cute girl that was commonly seen on Earth. Upon closer inspection, it looked like Takeuchi Sensei's style.
If Baiyi's guess was right, this was the work of the Painter. That guy was a master of plagiarism, and painting was his forte. It was easy for him to copy a cute girl's style from Baiyi's memory.
Below the fairy lady's long, fair legs, the words "Fairy Archer" were written, and three stars were printed on it, representing the card's rarity. The bottom left and right corners of the card were marked with two numbers, and at the end of the card was a short paragraph of text: 100% Special Attack Effect against Church Type Beings.
Why are fairies able to attack Church Type Beings? What kind of weird setting is this? Who wrote this? Was it that unreliable teacher of mine? Baiyi thought to himself. He turned to the students and said, "Let's play a round, shall we?"
"Alright, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Zhi Zi, please give us a demonstration. They are the best in our pool of cards," one of the students who was in charge of explaining the game said.
The Wallace that he mentioned came from a monopolistic family, the Wallace family. It was said that he had started out as a reporter, but his skills were much better than those reporters who could only run fast. In no time at all, the Wallace family had become the largest newspaper distributor in the entire Empire. The children of the Wallace family must have been filthy rich, so they could afford to play this extravagant game of drawing ten cards with one gold coin.
As for the other student, Zhi Zi, he came from a similar family. His family owned the largest toad farm in the country, which supplied all kinds of toads for medicinal and alchemical purposes.
The two students stood in the middle of the field, each with a wallet on their wrist. Inside the wallet was a variety of cards. After greeting each other, it was Wallace who initiated the challenge. "My turn! Draw a card! Summon the Alchemist Dean! In my next turn, the growth of my Mana Crystals will be twice as fast as usual! "
As he said that, he coolly held a card between two fingers and threw it on the ground. From the surface of the card, the shadow of an alchemist appeared, and his body emitted a light blue glow, indicating that he had received a buff.
Facing his opponent's aggressive attack from the start, Student Zhi Zi laughed coldly and said in a clear voice, "Hmph hmph, the way to play this game is broad and profound. You can't win just by bringing a gold card. Let me teach you a good lesson today! Trap Card, activate! Wrong test! Test failed effect triggered! Your Alchemist Dean is useless now! "
"Ah!" Wallace let out a blood-curdling scream. The Alchemist's shadow disappeared due to the effect of the Counter, and Wallace himself suffered a certain amount of damage from the backlash.
"Hmph, it's my turn now! Summon the Engineer Dean, activate the effect — Magical Marionette Army! Tear him apart! " Zhi Zi saw his opponent's HP drop rapidly and thought that victory was in his grasp. He could not help but feel proud.
