Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 436: Chapter 440, on the other side of the ocean

“You’re not a local of Nolan?”

Josh browsed through the entries that the contestants had personally filled in, and his gaze fell on the column with the name.

Dorothy Bakersner.

Josh remembered the name Dorothy. There was a player named Dorothy in the “My World”server of the four princesses.

This name was not common in Nolan.

After Josh looked at the girl standing in front of him, he could basically conclude that she had just arrived in Nolan, and… She had not found a place to put her luggage.

“I’m from the country of steel.”

Dorothy answered Josh honestly. She did not think that there was anything to hide.

In the country of steel, Josh had never opened a branch of Hearthstone Tavern outside of Nolan.

And those outsiders’impression of the Hearthstone Tavern was no different from that of an ordinary tavern. Even if Jose showed an ad for ‘Black Rock Mountain’on the television station, Jose did not think that the girl had seen the ad after seeing it, just wanted to come to the game on a whim.

After all, even the Nolan crowd after seeing the ad, the focus is also on ‘where the black dragon is from!’

“Miss Dorothy, the minimum requirement to register for the Nolan Open is to have a complete set of cards and to be ranked within 2,000 in the tavern.”

Joshua could confirm that the red-haired girl standing in front of him in men’s clothing was Dorothy, who was playing minecraft with the fourth princess.

“Complete set of cards? I have a total of 12 sets.”

Dorothy waved her hand and opened her own magic net interface. She wanted to show Josh her card set, but Josh smiled and shook his head.

“The beta version of the magic net can not be classified as ‘the cards you have’.”

Josh interrupted the girl’s action of starting the game Hearthstone.

“Beta… version?”Dorothy didn’t quite understand the meaning of Josh’s words.

“These cards don’t exist in real life. Miss Dorothy, you should understand, right?”Joshua said.

Dorothy nodded. Of course, she understood that what was constructed in the magic net was a completely virtual world, whether it was the Black Dragon Nefarian in the Hearthstone legend.., or the dwarf in the red hat in Super Mario. They were all virtual products that were drawn by people.

Then, they were given life in a fictional world in some way.

“Those cards on the magic net are only for you to experience.”Joshua took out a palm-sized black primary crystal, it was also the ‘card box’that stored hearthstone legends. “The cards in this are truly yours. Well… Since You’re the first contestant from the country of steel, this primary crystal can be considered a gift.”

Dorothy took the crystal that Jose placed on the table and activated it with her magic power. A transparent interface appeared from the crystal.

This was the interface of Hearthstone Legends, my collection.

“It’s missing… a lot of cards.”

Dorothy flipped through the cards in her collection. The cards in the collection were seriously missing. There was only a portion of beginner card sets.

“The missing cards should be yours to collect,”said Jose.

“Collect. It sounds like an adventure story in the dungeon.”Dorothy was a shrewd businessman. She quickly understood what Jose meant by collecting. “How much does a card cost?”

“Well, if you’re just starting to build your own card set collection, I suggest you buy it from the card bag first.”

Jose pointed at a magic machine behind him. It was a magic machine that was used to buy card bags.

Dorothy had been in business for many years, so she was on alert at this moment.

But if she wanted to win the Nolan Open, she could not rely on these basic cards to fight.

She slowly walked to the magic machine and inserted the black crystal into the groove of the machine.

Now Dorothy could only pray that the so-called card bag would not be so expensive.

“One… gold coin?”

Dorothy stared at the price of the card bag and was instantly stunned.

If she remembered correctly, the exchange rate between Nolan’s gold coin and the steel country’s currency, bisque, was 3.2 to 1.

In other words, a card bag cost about one-third of the price of bisque!

At the same price, one could eat a full meal in a relatively ordinary restaurant in the country of steel!

If it was in the past, Dorothy might have thought that the price was a little ‘expensive’, but now she only had 52 bisque on her.

In exchange for Nolan’s gold coins, she only had 166 gold coins.

This money was enough for her to go to the magic staff shop to buy a high-quality magic staff. If she saved a little, she could spend more than half a year in Nolan’s time!

But here, she could only exchange for 160 bags of cards. The key was that the cards in these bags were still inscriptions that only existed in the original crystal stones. They were not things that existed in reality, but virtual things!

Was It really worth it?

Dorothy fell into deep thought.

In the end, she still used the reason of ‘this is to save her family’s trading firm’as an excuse to invest all the ten gold coins that she had on her.

Looking at the ten gold coins turning into ten bags of cards, Dorothy felt that her heart was bleeding. This feeling of bleeding was far worse than when the Chamber of Commerce kept losing money.

Because it was using the private money she had saved!

Ten bags of brand-new Classic cards appeared in her collection. Dorothy directly opened her own bag on the magical machinery she had bought.

“Ten bags with a holy healing spell? The delivery rate is quite good,”Jose said from the side.

“Why are they all of normal and rare quality?”

Dorothy looked at the new cards in her collection in confusion. They were all of normal and rare quality. The only special one was the epic-quality ‘Holy Healing Spell’.

“It’s not easy to get legendary cards. You need to be lucky,”said Jose.

At this moment, Dorothy completely understood that she had fallen into the trap of a profiteer.

She forced herself to calm down and looked at the magic-conducting machine in front of her.

“What are the chances of getting a legendary card?”Dorothy’s business had held such a lucky draw before. Even if the prize was higher, there was at least a chance of getting it.

“One percent… probably.”

Hearing the answer given by Jose, Dorothy took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

The magic-powered machine in front of her seemed to have turned into a monster that devoured money, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it attacked her wallet.

One percent! Or roughly… in other words, if one wanted to own a legendary card, they would need to draw at least a hundred packets of the same card!

That was a hundred gold coins!

What was even more terrifying was that there was more than one legendary card needed in a card group!

At this moment, Dorothy understood why someone on the Spellcaster Forum would post a post to celebrate after obtaining a legendary card!

“What about buying a card alone?”

Dorothy did not dare to gamble with her own wealth anymore. At that time, she might very well be so poor that she would end up living on the streets of Nolan.

She remembered that the card that Jose had just mentioned could be bought!

“This card is chosen by other Hearthstone players after they have drawn out the card. Of course, the pricing is also set by them. There is also a special consignment service here.”.

Under Jose’s guidance, Dorothy opened the card consignment function on the magic machine in front of her.

There were a large number of hearthstone legendary cards on it, and the price was clearly marked. Judging from the name marked under each card, these cards all came from Hearthstone players, not the operator of the tavern itself.

This was the first time Dorothy had seen such a way of trading. She searched through these cards for the card she wanted the most.

That was the warrior’s legend card, ‘Grom Hellscream’. It quickly displayed more than 100 results, and the price of each card was somewhat dazzling to Dorothy.

Especially that Golden Grom Hellscream, it actually cost as much as 1,500 gold coins!

This was a little too expensive, were all hearthstone players so rich! This was no ordinary civilian game!

These legendary cards were completely comparable to luxury goods!

Dorothy felt a little tightness in her chest, this was already the second time she had lost to ‘money’.

Even if she spent all her money now, she probably wouldn’t be able to gather a set of warrior cards that she played on the magic net.

Could she only give up the competition for such a reason?

Wouldn’t it be nice to be a Countess in Orson Castle! Why did she come here to participate in the legendary Hearthstone competition? !

Dorothy’s grievance had reached its peak. She fumbled around in her purse and found the last gold coin.

It could be considered a memorial.

She let out a soft sigh and threw the gold coin into the mouth of the monster machine that ate money in front of her. She was prepared to go back home and get married after she finished drawing the card bag.

A classic card bag appeared in Dorothy’s collection once again.

The card bag shattered into five pieces under Dorothy’s tap. The five cards were spread out flat. She tapped on four of the cards weakly. All of them were the lowest-grade normal-quality cards.

The price on the consignment bank was less than a silver coin.

However, just as she tapped on the last card, an exciting voice sounded in her ear.

“Wow! Golden Legend!”

Dorothy was stunned. She quietly looked at the card floating in front of her. The name of this card was clearly written ‘lord of the flame demons, Ragnaros’!

The Golden Lord of the flame demons!

Dorothy’s one-month experience in the Hearthstone told her that the Lord of the flame demons, Ragnaros, was definitely the strongest orange card in Hearthstone legend. Almost all the later card sets could carry it!

The terrifying versatility of this card also determined its high price.

Dorothy immediately opened the consignment page and found the price of the king of flame demons card.

‘king of Flame Demons, ragnaros, gold legend quality, consignment: Frost Axe, price: 4,821 gold coins.’

4,000 gold coins… she had relied on one gold coin to draw a gold legend worth 4,000 gold coins!

Dorothy felt that she could not stand properly. The ups and downs of life made her head feel a little dizzy. It was only when Jose reached out his hand to support Dorothy whose legs were a little weak that he held her.

“Your Luck is better than I thought.”If Jose remembered correctly, this girl had only opened 11 packs.

“I… Maybe I can open a few more packs. Can you exchange bisque here for gold coins?”

Dorothy now completely understood why the card packs were so expensive, and why someone would spend so much money to buy them!

This was a game! The girl had already tasted the fragrance of luck, and she did not intend to stop there.

“I do not provide a currency exchange service here, but I think there are many customers who are willing to help you.”

Joshua looked behind Dorothy. When the Golden Balrog King was born, the group of dwarves behind had already put down the cards in their hands and looked at the red-haired girl in disbelief.

In the eyes of these dwarves, the birth of a golden legendary card was no less than digging underground and finding a relic that could still be used!
