The reason Zi Xuan’s movements were so leisurely was that his purpose wasn't to fan himself.

Li Lan and Qiao Congnan, for their part, didn't disappoint, getting a clear look at the cardss in Zi Xuan’s hand.

As the two carefully examined them, they realized they were all Magnifying Glass cardss.

Li Lan and Qiao Congnan’s breathing quickened slightly, their minds a jumbled mess, so they could only blurt out all the questions in their heads.

“Brother, where did you buy these? So many? Do you know the person who makes Magnifying Glass cardss? Or has this already become widespread?”

“Brother, has your family bought the authorization for this?”

“Brother, is this real? Or are you just bluffing us?”

“Brother, these aren’t fake cardss, are they?”

As expected of friends, they simultaneously thought they might be fake.

To this, Zi Xuan proudly replied, “Daddy made them myself, aren’t I amazing!”

“Wow, incredible!” Both of them showed surprised expressions.

When Li Lan heard that Zi Xuan had made them himself, he did some mental calculations.

If he could make them, a Magnifying Glass cards would sell for 200 yuan, patent fees for a three-star ability would be 30 yuan, a blank cards 20 yuan, and recycling 9 yuan, making the cost equivalent to 41 yuan. He could earn 159 yuan, and selling about 250 cardss would cover a semester’s tuition.

“Amazing, brother, brother, I wonder if you could teach me?”

Li Lan rubbed his hands together, his eyes practically turning into the shape of money.

Qiao Congnan’s grades weren’t good, and he didn’t think he could make them himself; he just wanted ready-made ones. Moreover, his family was considered well-off, and he had a decent amount of pocket money.

“Zi Xuan, how much is one of these? Sell me a few.”

Zi Xuan heard their questions and directly said, “I’ll give each of you one for free. If you want more, I’ll charge you the cost price of 60 yuan. As for making them, someone else taught me, so I need to ask them.

Of course, if you’re not in a hurry, you can wait a while. The price will be lower once production increases, as I won’t be making these forever.”

“Okay, then sell me two first and give me one. That way, my family will have enough.”

Qiao Congnan impatiently pulled out money and stuffed it into Zi Xuan’s hand, quickly reserving the cardss he wanted.

Li Lan hesitated a bit, then thought about it and shared his idea with Zi Xuan: “Brother, currently I’m not sure if your master will teach me. You know my family’s situation; I think about making money every day. Wouldn’t 60 yuan be too much of a loss for you? I wouldn’t say anything if I bought them myself, but I want to ask if you mind if I sell them at a slightly higher price.”

“Of course, no problem. I trust your character. You can take them and sell them first, and just give me the money after they’re sold.

However, pay attention to the price control set by the company that bought the authorization for this product. I remember it’s something between 150 yuan and 500 yuan.

Fang Mu and Li Baoyu can both make them. I’ll ask them then and give you their practice ones to sell too. Also, don’t spread the word that we made the cardss, to avoid a crowd of people surrounding us.”

Zi Xuan pulled out the cardss Qiao Congnan wanted to buy and gave them to him, then handed the other cardss to Li Lan.

A surge of emotion welled up in Li Lan’s heart, but he didn’t say much, putting the cardss away.

“Good brother, I won’t forget your kindness to me.”

Zi Xuan heard Li Lan’s words and replied with a smile, “Don’t be so mushy. As a Card Maker, you won’t be short on money after you graduate.”

Qiao Congnan also chimed in, “Exactly, exactly. Maybe after you participate in the competition, your cardss can be sold for authorization.”
