Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 71: New Blind Boxes Arrive

Zhang Qingzhe observed carefully for a while, then suddenly remembered Xia Qiwei's handwritten note.

He then realized—this was the signal for the [chain reaction] to be triggered.

It seems that this "World Card" not only absorbs but also hides a peculiar "Chain" function.

Zhang Qingzhe picked up a quill, dipped it in a little magic potion, and drew several connecting lines in the air, following the faint traces of magic in his eyes.

The next second, the lines on the [Steel Bone Bull Card] connected to the bull-head guardian spirit pattern in the corner of the [World Card].

The red bull-headed guardian spirit suddenly became ferocious, and its white exoskeleton began to appear on its body.

The other four elements on the World Card—

The purple-masked clown, the blue double-headed eagle, the green bear head, and the golden dancer in the center all quietly turned their gazes toward the red bull head.

Their stiff eyes held a mixture of hostility and jealousy.

The scene, reminiscent of a horror movie, sent chills down Zhang Qingzhe's spine.

At the same time, the [Steel Bone Bull Card] next to it flashed, and a new effect description appeared at the bottom:

[Effect 2: Castling - Card Master can swap positions with Steel Bone Bull]

It's actually a [spatial] effect.

Zhang Qingzhe's eyes widened.

Even with limited knowledge of the magical world, Zhang Qingzhe knew that [space] and [time] were still the two most difficult attributes to master in this world.

When this [Steel Bone Bull Card] is chained with the [World Card], it can create a [Space] skill.

This is truly remarkable.

This skill may seem simple, but it can definitely bring unexpected advantages in actual combat.

the next day--

The sun rose as usual.

The tedious classes continued as usual.

Wang Dong was very efficient. After selling all the battery cards, he split the profits with Zhang Qingzhe.

Then, he tried every means to find out where Xia Qiwei had taken him yesterday and whether there were any exciting activities.

Zhang Qingzhe did not reveal everything, but only gave a vague and perfunctory response.

During lunchtime—

The two arrived at the Witch's Restaurant again, where they continued to watch the biting cabbage chase the chef and the bread beat up the unfamiliar senior.

Then, they met Gu Xintong and Gao Bailu, and the four of them shared a table and had a "witch's lunch".

Now, Wang Dong's behavior is much more natural, and he can joke around normally.

After witnessing this scene, Zhang Qingzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hopefully, Wang Dong will act within his capabilities and find his own happiness in the future.

The first class in the afternoon was "History of Magic," taught by an old professor who was old-fashioned and particularly liked to nitpick at students.

Therefore, everyone was extra careful when taking this class and arrived at the classroom very early.

Zhang Qingzhe sat by the window, gazing at the campus scenery outside.

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, baking the ground into a shimmering wave of heat.

The horizontal bar next to the playground rippled slightly in the rising air.

Just then, my phone vibrated.

He opened the chat software and saw the message Shen Nanzhi had sent:

"Junior, a new batch of premium blind boxes has arrived."

Zhang Qingzhe's pupils contracted, and he immediately replied:

"Senior, are you at the mall right now?"

"Yes, I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'm working here."

"I'll be right there."

"Hey? Don't you have class?"

"This is much more important than attending class."

Zhang Qingzhe stood up abruptly and was about to step out of the classroom when he looked up and met the old professor's sinister gaze.

"Where are you going?" the old professor asked, his books tucked between his fingers.

"Professor, I have something to attend to and would like to ask for leave."

"What is it? If you don't have a good reason, I'm going to deduct your daily points."

Zhang Qingzhe felt a headache coming on.

The whole class looked over nervously.

The classroom was already stuffy in the afternoon, and now it was filled with an even more somber atmosphere.

Zhang Qingzhe thought for a moment and then said:

"Professor Xia Qiwei is taking me on an internship."

The old professor, who was about to explode, clicked his tongue slightly after hearing this reason:

"You've already become Professor Xia's apprentice?"

"Hmm...more or less."

"The master-apprentice system is indeed quite important. Go ahead, and submit a leave slip afterward."

"Thank you, Professor!"

Zhang Qingzhe nodded and rushed out of the classroom.

The students in the class finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Zhou Keming showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

He thought Zhang Qingzhe was going to be in trouble, but to his surprise, the other party passed the test easily.

Moreover, the old professor dropped a bombshell—

Zhang Qingzhe has actually become Xia Qiwei's apprentice!

Meanwhile, the other four, including Zhou Keming, are still working hard to accumulate points for the training camp.

This student, who was recognized as the top student in the class, had unknowingly fallen behind Zhang Qingzhe.

This made Zhou Keming somewhat resentful.

Wang Dong didn't mind at all; in fact, he was quite happy for his brother.

My brother got on the professor's good side, so rounding up, doesn't that mean I got on his good side too?

In order to save time, Zhang Qingzhe hailed a taxi and soon arrived at the Lucky Goddess Shopping Mall.

It's a little past 2 p.m., and the mall is sparsely populated, making it the quietest time of day.

Sister Mi and several young shop assistants sat under the air conditioner chatting about gossip.

Just then, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly appeared at the door.

Sister Mi's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up:

"It's that rich, handsome young man from last time!"

The girls looked up and couldn't help but smile.

"Shen Nanzhi is really lucky, the handsome young man is coming to see her again." Someone sighed.

Sister Mi looked around and asked, "Where is Shen Nanzhi?"

"She just went to the restroom," a clerk replied.

"I see..." Sister Mi suddenly smiled.

She straightened the collar of her uniform, tucked the stray hairs behind her ears to reveal the silver pendant on her delicate earlobe, and prepared to charge at Zhang Qingzhe.

The girl next to me whispered a reminder: "Sister Mi, according to the rules, we can't steal our colleagues' clients."

"Hmph, rules are rules, but handsome guys are flexible."

"That's not a good idea..."

"How could Shen Nanzhi, with her thin and frail figure, possibly handle such a big client?" Sister Mi said righteously. "I'm doing this to retain important customers for the mall."

She found a plausible reason and walked over with a smile:

"Handsome, would you like me to help you with your shopping?"

Sister Mi smiled particularly charmingly, her eyes almost glazing with desire.

"No need, I have an appointment with Shen Nanzhi," Zhang Qingzhe replied calmly.

"Nam Chi, she's my good sister, and she's so busy right now."

As she spoke, Sister Mi took another step forward, forcefully thrusting out her ample breasts, seemingly hinting at some special services.
