Chapter 236: Is This the Legendary Divine Body for Card Games?

Takumi had already gone to the Xianzhou Luofu, and yet he hadn't gone to play cards with Qingque?

Seeing Sagiri's message, Takumi couldn't help but chuckle.

Takumi: [What did Qingque ever do to you? You really want me to go bully her?] [Did Qingque eat the rice from your house or something?] [Is it easy for Qingque to slack off and earn some pocket money?]

He wasn't that kind of person... but still, Takumi began locating Qingque.

Despite what he said, his body was being very honest.

Once he confirmed that Qingque was indeed slacking off again, Takumi grinned.

Without hesitation, he made his way over.

As expected, Qingque was about to go out and play cards again, right? Then this was the perfect time for him, her destined card partner, to log in.

Let's go for a few rounds of Divine Jade Discs!

Everyone in the group chat reacted with a mix of amusement and concern upon seeing what Takumi wrote.

Himeko: [You say you won't, but your body already made the move.]

Raiden Mei: [Goodness, don't go tormenting her again!]

Fujiwara Chika: [Qingque, run! Someone's about to rob your salary!]

Erina Nakiri: [By the way, since you're already in the Luofu, aren't you going to rescue that foxy lady?]

Alice chimed in with her own bubble.

Seeing that Takumi had gone to the Luofu, she suddenly remembered that tilted-neck beauty Tingyun.

The one who always called him her "benefactor."

Takumi, are you really not going to go save her?

Takumi raised an eyebrow at the message.

"Tingyun isn't dead, right?"

"She showed up in Natasha's Light Cone, after all."

Maybe she was saved by Natasha. That woman lying on a hospital bed being rescued must have been Tingyun, right?

Reviving Tingyun?

If there's a chance, of course Takumi would do it.

Who could say no to a charming fox girl who calls you 'my benefactor' and refers to herself as 'this humble woman'? She really knew how to play her cards.

With that in mind, Takumi made a mental note.

First, con some money from Qingque, then go check things out in Jarilo-VI.

If he really came across Tingyun, he'd make a move.

Maybe even bring her back to his own world?

Yeah, that sounded like a good idea.

After all, Tingyun was quite the business genius.

With that thought, Takumi quickened his pace toward the card tables.

As he arrived, Qingque also showed up.

The moment they met, Qingque paused, slightly stunned.

What a handsome man!

The instant she laid eyes on Takumi, Qingque couldn't help but think how handsome he looked.

"Hey handsome, are you here to play cards too?"

Qingque asked curiously.

Takumi came here... to play cards?

"I was bored and figured I'd come play a bit."

"I've heard that Divine Jade Discs is an ancient and mysterious game."

"So I wanted to give it a try."

As soon as he said that, Qingque's eyes lit up.

"Then you really have to give it a try."

"Divine Jade Discs was revived thanks to an anonymous diviner."

"It's a super popular game in the Luofu."

"Come, come! I happen to be free today, so let me teach you!"

Qingque was visibly excited.

She'd actually run into a newbie interested in Divine Jade Discs?

Then she definitely had to teach him well.

Playing cards was such a joy, after all.

Hearing Qingque's enthusiasm, Takumi nodded with a smile.

"Very well."

"Then I'll be in your care."

Takumi didn't refuse.

After all, playing cards with Qingque was precisely why he came here.

If she was going to teach him? That made it even better.

Fujiwara Chika: [Qingque, run!! Don't play with that guy!]

Sagiri: [It's over. Qingque's allowance is about to be wiped out.]

Akeno Himejima: [I can already imagine her expression when she loses.]

Everyone in the chat began roasting as soon as they saw Takumi actually went to play cards with Qingque.

Even Himeko, watching from the Astral Express, couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Should she warn Qingque?

After thinking about it, she decided to let it go.

Forget it.

Let her experience it firsthand.

Once she loses enough, she'd tell March 7th.

Good thing March wasn't in the chat at the moment.

Otherwise, she probably would've warned Qingque immediately.

Telling her to stay far away from Takumi.

Takumi ignored the banter from the group.

Under Qingque's guidance, he quickly sat down at the card table.

The card room was full of Qingque's acquaintances.

When they heard that Qingque had brought a newbie along, everyone warmly welcomed Takumi and began explaining the rules of Divine Jade Discs.

Once he got the gist, the game began.

Four people at a table, and the cards started flying.

With Takumi's flawless acting, everyone believed he was just a rookie.

After all, he did lose quite a bit at the start.

But gradually, everyone became confused.

Because Takumi was improving... fast.

He started off with wins and losses, but soon... he was just winning. Consistently.

Qingque and the others stared blankly as Takumi claimed another win.

"Thanks for the game!"

"Divine Jade Discs really is fun."

Takumi grinned as he collected their money.

At that moment, the group was collectively dumbfounded.

"Are you really playing for the first time?"

Qingque looked at him suspiciously.

She'd lost plenty her first time playing, only slowly improving over time.

But this man?

He was winning like a machine.

Was he really a beginner?

Qingque was in shock.

She thought he was a newbie, and she'd be able to win her money back soon.

But now? She was completely bankrupt.

Why was his luck so good?

Qingque was starting to feel bitter.

Her next paycheck from the Divination Commission was still a while away.

And now, she'd already lost everything?

Qingque felt like she was going to break down.

"Of course it's my first time playing."

"And didn't you all teach me just now?"

Takumi smiled as he pocketed more of their cash.

He was clearly having a great time.

"Ugh!!!"

Qingque let out a defeated whimper.

But come on, wasn't he learning way too fast?!

Was this the legendary case of "the apprentice surpassing the master"?

She'd taught her own downfall!

Qingque was absolutely devastated.

She didn't even have money left to keep playing Divine Jade Discs.

"I'm done, I'm done!!"

"I'm broke."

Qingque threw down her cards and officially surrendered.

She couldn't keep playing without any money.

Takumi looked at her with a cheeky smile.

"You're giving up?"

"That's too bad."

He wore a mask of regret.

No more games?

What a pity.

Qingque rolled her eyes.

"I'm broke!!"

"This is the worst loss I've ever suffered!!"

Just saying it made her sulk even more.

Takumi was supposed to be a rookie.

But once he got the hang of it, he became unbeatable.

Was this the so-called Divine Body for card games?

Shocking!

He was born for Divine Jade Discs, wasn't he?

It had to be that.

Otherwise, how else could he get so good, so fast?

Thinking about it, Qingque grew more curious.

Could Takumi possibly have some secret technique?

Maybe she should ask for some tips?
