I Rely on Drawing Cards to Set Up a Persona

035: [For each grade of the card, the full level is five.
When the N-grade card reaches level five, you can choose to activate it into R-grade.

Currently, Zero – Puppet is in Grade N (Level 1).
Within Grade N, it takes one thousand gold coins for each level upgrade, while within Grade R, it takes ten thousand gold coins for each level, and so on.]

[Note: Upgrade failure may occur.
If it fails, you need to spend gold to upgrade again.]

In fact, if a normal card is upgraded, it will rarely fail, but corrupted cards are different.
They face more upgrade failures than normal cards, and there may be one chance of success only after five upgrades.

Qiao Xingnan paused, picking at his ears, “System, I just had an auditory hallucination.
You say it again.”

035 dutifully repeated once again.

There was no mistake.
That is to say, for Zero to rise to N-grade card Level 5, it will take at least five thousand gold coins.

Qiao Xingnan stood up and took a deep breath.
He walked to Zero’s side, squatted down, and patted Zero’s shoulder.
Then, he said in a heavy voice: “Brother, I’m useless.
I have let you suffer.”

Zero struggled to understand Qiao Xingnan’s words, and his dark eyes were full of cluelessness.

“No, there is no suffering.”

Zero never felt that he suffered anything by his master’s side.
Being by his master’s side was much more enjoyable than being dazed in his clan’s land.

What a thoughtful card, Qiao Xingnan sighed.
He had to hurry up and put the matter of making money on the agenda.

Not to mention the money needed to draw cards and upgrade, he will have to leave here to wander the world after fooling the tyrant.
Without money, there was no way to do that.
There are also the original body’s younger siblings.
Two children drifting around at a young age, there was no telling how much they have suffered.

The thought of taking on the responsibility of raising a family gave Qiao Xingnan a sense of urgency.

The host ran away halfway through the question, but this did not surprise 035 in the least.

There are many card pools in the star field, and very few hosts will upgrade their N cards.

After all, no one knows what a weak N-grade card can become after spending a lot of money and upgrading.
Instead of risking so much and consuming so many resources, it was better to redraw a high-grade card.

Furthermore, it was actually a wise choice for this host not to upgrade his card.
After all, upgrading his card is far more difficult than a normal one.
Consuming 5,000 gold coins to upgrade to N grade (Level 3) may not even be possible.

035 has some sympathy for this host, whose luck was too bad and happened to be bound to the Chaos card pool.

Qiao Xingnan, who didn’t know he was being pitied by the system, patted Zero’s shoulder, told him to go back to sunbathing, and ran to sit at the table next to him.

How could he make money without crashing his persona?

What a headache.

At this time, Qiao Xingnan’s headache was joined by the maids of the Utia City Lord’s residence.
But, of course, rather than a headache, it was more like a lack of blood supply to the brain caused by fear.

Today was their day to serve His Highness Jin.

The eldest maid walking in the forefront carried a wire twisted in a small lantern in her hand, which had been enough to see the corridor.
The maids following her were still trembling and holding a few candles with strange patterns.

Amidst the swaying candlelight, a pungent odor could be faintly smelled.

The maids lowered their heads one by one and followed closely to the front for fear of being left behind.
The two maids walking at the end of the line jointly carried a sedan chair half a person high.

Soon, the group walked to the city lord’s lake.
The sunset by the lake was so beautiful that people could not move their eyes.
Still, none of the people present dared to appreciate the beauty and instead were nervous.

“Your Highness.” The eldest maid knelt down and called gently toward the lake.

With a ripple of water, the golden scales shimmered, getting closer and closer to the shore, eventually revealing its full appearance.

It was a half-meter-long golden python.

Today, it was their turn as maids to take care of His Highness.

Although with this lantern in place, His Highness would not attack them, they were still very afraid.
This is, after all, a python that can take out a person instantly, and the most critical thing was that His Highness was the emperor’s favorite.
If they displeased him, they would be dead.

The eldest maid has experienced it more and methodically instructed the maids to clean and feed His Highness.
Then, when it was all taken care of, they invited it into the sedan chair.

Inside a glorious room sat a handsome man, his golden hair was a little damp and had stained the red velvet robe on his body, but the man did not care.
His turquoise eyes were like the most beautiful jewels, looking at the few sheets of paper in his hands with a hint of interest.

Suddenly, the sound of some kind of animal scratching rang in his ears.
The man put the paper down in his hand, and soon, a golden python coiled up along the table leg.

It coiled on the tabletop, its green eyes confused as it looked at the paper the man had just put down.

“You can’t read it.”

The snake seemed dissatisfied with the man’s perfunctory words and spat out its tongue.

“It’s just a crook who’s a bit interesting.”

The man laughed lowly, and on a summer night, there was actually a chill, “Who exactly is the person behind him?”

“We’ll find out in a few days.”
