Li Pu didn't wait long; 15 minutes later, Li Fan returned to the apartment.
"Teacher, I have a question I want to ask you."
Taking advantage of the time alone just now, Li Pu thought about some issues.
"Do you think it's feasible to make money by selling fusion cards?"
After learning the value of the [Five-headed Mushroom], he felt that the goal of 500K didn't seem so far off.
"Hmm..."
Li Fan showed a slightly surprised expression, then pondered for a moment before answering, "To be honest, it might be quite difficult."
"Although fusion cards are powerful, the material cards are equally important."
"With your current skills, you can't collect very strong material cards."
"Therefore, selling fusion cards isn't as good as selling the skill of fusing cards."
This was his honest opinion.
"Indeed..."
In fact, Li Pu also considered this aspect, which is why he wanted to ask the opinion of this veteran card player.
Besides, the other party is his teacher, though he hasn't taught him anything yet.
But he wasn't sure how to go about selling his skill.
It seemed like the only card player he knew was Li Fan.
"Selling this skill, actually, isn't difficult."
"It mainly comes down to two paths."
Li Fan extended two fingers and continued.
"The first path, the most convenient yet also inconvenient and risk-free."
"That is, the Cube Card World."
Although the Cube Card World is a virtual world, all actions with cube cards in it can correspond to reality.
This is evident from the fact that Li Pu was able to fuse the [Five-headed Mushroom] using [Card Creation] in his own little white room.
Transactions in the Cube Card World are very safe, and as long as you don't proactively disclose, the two parties in the transaction can't discover each other's identity—only an ID is known.
The convenience Li Fan mentioned is regardless of how far apart the two parties are.
As long as they have the Federation's cube capsule, they can complete transactions in the Cube Card World.
The inconvenience is that the Cube Card World only recognizes cube cards, and crystal coins cannot be exchanged.
This means transactions can only be card for card.
Simply put, Li Pu helps others with card fusion, and others use cards as currency to pay him.
After listening to Li Fan's introduction of the first path, Li Pu seemed thoughtful.
This trading method undoubtedly poses a challenge for him.
If he receives a card with no value, it's like an invisible loss.
Clearly, as a new card player, he lacks the necessary experience and discernment.
"The second path is more obvious."
"That is, finding buyers in reality."
Li Fan then introduced another method.
Compared to the Cube Card World, starting from reality is much slower.
This involves Li Pu's connections in the card circle and the intensity of his promotion, etc.
If handled poorly, there could be harassment from unscrupulous card players.
Li Pu understood this principle as well.
So even though he had such a great skill, he found himself in a bit of a bind.
Having the skill is definitely crucial, but monetizing it has always been a challenge.
"Actually, I have a suggestion you might want to hear."
The reason Li Fan was slightly surprised when he first heard Li Pu's question was that he realized the student's ideas coincided with his own thoughts.
"Most likely, I'm saying most likely."
"Based on my experience and intuition, the Southern Forest is unlikely to produce fusion cards at the level of [Five-headed Mushroom]."
"It's not that the cards from low-level beasts are necessarily weak, but low-grade cards generally don't have much strength."
"The variety of beasts in the Southern Forest is quite limited, and their grades are all low."
"So theoretically, you can't find very good material cards."
"The other three areas remaining at Xidu University have beasts with grades significantly higher than those in the Southern Forest."
"With my personal ability, I can confidently take down 99% of the beasts there."
"Why not cooperate, with me providing the material cards, and you handling the fusions?"
This proposal made Li Pu's eyes light up.
To be honest, he had thought of this idea before Li Fan returned.
But he didn't know what Li Fan's intentions were.
Unexpectedly, as they kept chatting, the other party brought it up proactively.
In some way, it showed a great understanding between the teacher and student.
Li Pu agreed with this method of cooperation.
Because he didn't really want to spend too much time on this, right now he wanted to focus on enhancing his own and his scarecrow's strength.
The mountain facing him now is how to quickly scrape together 500K to purchase that skill from the trading station.
Moreover, by cooperating with Li Fan, he could skip the networking and publicity phases.
There would no longer be the risk of harassment from unfamiliar card players.
Another very important point is that Li Pu didn't want to publicize his ability for now.
If people knew he was a card player with an exceptional cube card talent, and if his grandfather found out, the number of strange blind dates might increase several fold.
Just imagining that scenario made it hard for him to accept.
From what Li Fan previously revealed about a card player's income, it was clear that he wasn't lacking in funds.
At least for a Summoner of Li Pu's level, he felt the other party was quite wealthy.
So cooperating with him seemed like a very good choice.
"I won't ask for specific reasons, but I can tell you seem to be very short on crystal coins."
"However, I'm tight on money recently too, so I don't have many crystal coins."
Li Fan's next words stunned Li Pu.
"Therefore, I've prepared another plan."
"You can think it over carefully; you don't have to give an answer immediately."
Saying this, Li Fan took out a skill light orb from his storage space.
"This is something I previously placed on consignment at the trading station."
"If we estimate the value, it's around 450K to 550K crystal coins."
"I'm giving it to you to consign for sale."
Li Pu's demonstrated contractual spirit before was something Li Fan appreciated, making him feel this student could be trusted, at least in certain aspects.
If they were to cooperate, he wouldn't shortchange the other party.
That's why he brought out a skill light orb of this value all at once, as a show of good faith.
For Li Pu, this method of cooperation was completely unexpected.
But after hearing Li Fan's words, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
So he took the skill light orb, and information feedback immediately appeared in his mind.

After just one glance, Li Pu fell silent.
What on earth?
Isn't that a coincidence?
