Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 62 The younger sister asked to keep it for her brother's personal use.

Just as Zhang Qingzhe was lost in thought, his younger sister jumped up excitedly.

"Great! Bro, it's a summoning card!"

The younger sister suddenly pounced over, grabbed Zhang Qingzhe's neck, and shook him like a koala.

"Summoning cards are naturally more expensive than other cards! This Lv5 [Fel Creation] card could sell for at least 200,000 yen!"

"Yeah?"

Zhang Qingzhe nodded somewhat absentmindedly.

The younger sister noticed something was off about her brother, rested her chin on his shoulder, her soft, delicate face radiating a sweet fragrance, and asked in confusion:

"Brother, what's wrong? We only spent 20,000 and made 200,000, that's ten times our initial investment! Why aren't you happy at all?"

"I didn't get the card I wanted."

"So what do you want?"

"A card at level 7."

"ha--?!"

The younger sister exclaimed in surprise, staring at her brother in disbelief.

"Bro, what kind of dream are you having! How could there possibly be such high-level cards in a [card blind box]?"

"Yes," Zhang Qingzhe replied calmly. "I've seen it in the [Bird Divination Cards]."

"R-Really?!"

My sister got excited immediately, and her arms around my neck tightened involuntarily.

The soft, bouncy texture pressing against his back made Zhang Qingzhe feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, let go now!" Zhang Qingzhe gently patted his sister's arm. "Now that it's open, let's sell it."

"No!"

Suddenly, my younger sister reached out and snatched the gold card, then jumped onto the sofa with a "thump thump thump".

"What? Do you want to use it yourself?" Zhang Qingzhe looked up.

I saw my younger sister standing on tiptoe on the armrest of the sofa.

Her legs, as slender as chopsticks, were encased in glossy white stockings.

Two smooth and graceful leg lines extended into the light and airy short skirt.

"I don't need one," the younger sister said, raising her chin slightly. "But I think my brother needs one."

"Me? I don't need it."

"I'm always a little uneasy because my brother doesn't have any powerful [cards]."

Zhang Qingzhe frowned.

Thinking back on the dangers I encountered before, and considering the troubles I'm facing now, having a high-level [card] would indeed make me feel much more at ease.

"But this is a LV5 [card]."

Zhang Qingzhe raised a question, "Shouldn't one be at least a [Formal Card Master] to activate [Intermediate Cards] from Lv4 to Lv6?"

"That's true."

My younger sister nodded, then changed the subject, her eyes sparkling:

"However, there are other ways."

"Is there any way?"

"Brother, your lack of common sense is truly speechless."

My younger sister, looking like a little teacher, said, "Aren't you a card-making genius? You can make battery cards! Just use battery cards to charge them, right?"

Zhang Qingzhe paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He made so many battery cards, but he still couldn't quite figure out why they were so popular.

He originally thought that, just like in his previous life, the battery was only used to power machinery.

However, his sister's words suddenly woke him up.

In this magical world, the [Battery Card] serves as a substitute for the [Card Master], providing magic energy to other [Magic Cards].

In this way, even lower-level Card Masters can use mid-level cards, even if they are higher level.

"I see," Zhang Qingzhe murmured.

At the same time, Zhang Qingzhe also understood why the price of the [Battery Card] would soar with each upgrade.

Because [high-level cards] require [high-level batteries].

Card masters who possess high-level cards are all wealthy.

"Brother, please keep this card," the younger sister strongly suggested once again.

After much deliberation, Zhang Qingzhe shook his head.

"If we keep this card, then we'll really be out of money."

The younger sister hesitated for a moment, then her eyes gradually hardened:

"I can go out and earn money."

These words startled Zhang Qingzhe.

A stunningly beautiful high school girl, determined to go out and make big money—

What older brother could stand that?

"No way," Zhang Qingzhe said, rejecting the idea outright.

"I'll be fine!" the younger sister said.

"That won't work either. Just focus on your studies, I'll figure out the money."

"Then... what about this [Fel Creation] card?" the younger sister asked in a low voice, sounding a little worried.

"Since you want to stay so much, then leave this card behind," Zhang Qingzhe finally relented.

"Very good!"

"Alright! Come down now, don't stand in such a dangerous place."

Zhang Qingzhe reached out and wrapped his arms around his sister's waist, lifting her off the sofa armrest.

"But brother, how are you going to earn money?"

"I can make cards and sell them," Zhang Qingzhe replied vaguely.

"Wow! Brother is so amazing!"

The younger sister's eyes lit up. "Now, brother, just put in a little effort! When I become the Great Witch, I'll make sure you live a life of ease."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Zhang Qingzhe spoke lightly, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Selling cards won't make you a lot of money; it'll probably only be enough to cover daily expenses.

However, he still needs to purchase a large amount of materials to improve his card-making skills.

Not to mention the predicted crisis.

He still needs to keep buying blind boxes and must be the first to open the [Necromancer Witch].

This calculation shows a huge budget shortfall.

After much thought, Zhang Qingzhe could only come up with one solution: to borrow money.

Fortunately, he recently met a wealthy friend.

The next morning—

As usual, Zhang Qingzhe arrived at school early to train his arm strength near the horizontal bar.

The senior student, like an NPC, would spawn next to him daily and hand him a bottle of mineral water.

The two met at the blind box mall yesterday and have become quite familiar with each other now.

"Thank you, senior. I drink your water every day." Zhang Qingzhe sat down by the playground.

The senior student also sat down, wrapping her arms around her slender legs.

Her long legs, honed from frequent running, appeared exceptionally slender in the morning light, casting a faint shadow on the rubber track.

"Don't mention it... I got a lot of commission from that big order yesterday." The senior smiled slightly, but there was a hint of forced smile in her expression.

"That's good." Zhang Qingzhe nodded, then asked the crucial question, "By the way, senior, how often are those [premium blind boxes] on the second floor updated?"

"They'll release new items about once a month," the senior student replied, then looked at him with some surprise. "You actually want to buy more?"

"Yeah, I didn't get what I wanted."

"Junior, you absolutely mustn't get addicted to this kind of thing," Shen Nanzhi earnestly advised, her face full of worry.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
