At the same time, in the Flowing Frost City Club.
Some poor players with Water cards were gazing at each other, shocked.
Because the president, Qu Liushuang, brought the new cards that she had bought in the 月半 Card Store to them.

Flowing Frost City Club was low-key at all times. By the same token, their principle in the game was: "We will not attack unless we are attacked." Players in this club did nothing except farm instances and compete with others in the Arena everyday. It seemed like they didn\'t have any ambitions and just idled about all day. The club also enjoyed the highest reputation in the game since they had neither allied themselves with any clubs nor made enemies. The whole club immersed itself in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere where members entertained themselves.
Qu Liushuang was the "nominal president" of the club and the true leaders were two vice-presidents that she had sent to the game. Qu Liushuang was in fact a broker of players in Flowing Frost City Club, and she was as famous as Xue Linxiang, the broker of Fenghua Club.
Except that Sister Xue was a strong woman who did things determinedly as well as rapidly, while Qu Liushuang was a mild lady with long hair who always smiled and spoke in a soft voice. People couldn\'t bear to be angry at her.
Under the management of a broker like her, Flowing Frost City Club was peaceful too. It hid its light under a bushel. Flowing Frost City Club was an alien in the highly compet.i.tive National Star Card League. It was like an idyllic refuge from the outside world.
The founder of Flowing Frost City Club was Su Yang, who had paved the way for the entire Water card category.
Su Yang had made his debut in the first season. He brought up four apprentices in total before retiring. The first apprentice, Fang Yu, was the strongest player who currently used Water cards. He was the founder of the Deathrattle card group with the Water attribute. Also, he was the champion of the individual race in the sixth season. The second apprentice, Qiao Xi, was the founder of the Hydropoisoning Play and took second place in the sixth season; The third and the fourth apprentices, Su Qingyuan and Xiao Yi, were both good at Water Soft Control Play.
Su Yang was considered a gentle person. He treated his apprentices considerately. As a result, these fellow apprentices were close like brothers and the club was like a family, getting more and more close.
In addition, the four fellow apprentices\' unity was undefeated when they resisted enemies together! Even the Ace 4 Group led by Tang Muzhou in the Fenghua Club and the Card Selling Team led by Nie Yuandao in the Adjudication Club were routed by them in last season\'s group race.
When speaking of the strongest club in the group race, Flowing Frost City Club was the first one that came into everyone\'s mind.
These four fellow apprentices coordinated the work of the team perfectly. The Soft Control plus the Hydropoisoning Play always made their opponents crazy.
Apart from the fact that they were legendary in the group race, the strength of the senior fellow apprentice, Fang Yu, was widely recognized by the National Star Card League. He barely showed his feelings, being aloof all the time. Because of his snowy skin, it was difficult for people to tell his gender at first glance sometimes. He was a man of few words with a poker face. The Deathrattle School he founded mainly used the Sacrifice Play, and his cards would trigger special effects after death when he applies these play styles. As a result, the school was rated as "the most horrible hedgehog to beat" by the League.
Currently, Fang Yu was sitting on the couch, calmly looking at the card that Qu Liushuang had brought to him.
The second fellow apprentice, Qiao Xi, sat next to him, pulling his hair crazily, "How could this happen! I just laughed at Tang Muzhou when the chat group said he was targeted against that day! Now the whole Water group has to suffer※. Great!"
The junior fellow apprentice, Xiao Yi, said bluntly, "Second brother, you shouldn\'t have gloated over his misfortune at that time. I mean, look at Ye Zhu. He was the one who was the happiest at that time and also sent a bunch of "HAHAHA" in the chat group. Now what? The b.u.t.terfly cards were aimed at too."
The third fellow apprentice, Su Qingyuan, was the sober one compared to his fellow apprentices. He smiled and a.n.a.lyzed, "At first everyone conjectured that that man was the enemy of Tang Muzhou since he made a flower IDE card and auctioned it. But nowadays it seems like that is not true. All the players who had laughed at Tang Muzhou have been aimed at, first Ye Zhu with his b.u.t.terfly cards, then the whole Water card group. These things prove that he is more likely to be Tang Muzhou\'s ally than his rival."
Qiao Xi kept scratching his head, "I don\'t think so. The card released today aimed at birds. Shan Lan is so mild and gentle that he is the last one who would make an enemy. He just follows his Shifu all day long. The most important thing is he didn\'t laugh at Tang Muzhou, right?"
The heated debate continued for ages.
Fang Yu didn\'t talk. He just frowned slightly and observed the card on the holographic screen. A moment later, he said blandly, "Sister Shuang, is there any news about this man?"
Although his voice was not loud, the other three people quieted down the moment he started to speak.
After all, he was the senior fellow apprentice who was admired by the other younger brothers.
Hearing the question, Qu Liushuang said, "I sent people to investigate him yesterday and I got the information that 月半\'s ID in the game is Uncle Chubby. It is said that there was a huge tumult in the black market earlier because the Fenghua Club and the Adjudication Club were searching for character cards crazily. According to my a.n.a.lysis, the card that shocked the Fenghua Club should be [Lin Daiyu] that appeared at the auction. As for the Adjudication Club, I haven\'t found the key information yet since they are very cautious about this stuff."
Fang Yu said calmly, " The card creator\'s selling [Lin Daiyu]s and [w.a.n.g Zhaojun]s in his own store, which indicates that he hasn\'t reached a consensus with the Fenghua Club and the Adjudication Club."
Qu Liushuang asked, "In that case, why don\'t we court him by offering him higher conditions?"
Fang Yu shook his head, "He didn\'t join the Fenghua Club and the Adjudication Club, not to mention ours."
Qiao Xi couldn\'t resist asking, "Big brother, what are we gonna do? Is there really nothing we can do to stop him being unruly?"
Fang Yu stood up, holding his smart helmet and coldly said, "If we cannot sign him, we can cooperate with him."
The other three fellow apprentices stared at each other, "Cooperation?"
Su Qingyuan smiled and asked, "You mean we give him some card group information so that he can continue to target other players and make IDE cards."
Fang Yu said, "I\'m not interested in other players. I just want to cooperate with him and improve our card group."
Su Qingyuan\'s eyes suddenly shone with excitement, "By letting him make cards for us?"
"Yes." Fang Yu nodded his head, "Since he is a businessman, I a.s.sume he won\'t say no to big money."
Qiao Xi and Xiao Yi looked at each other, then gave a thumbs-up at the same time, "That\'s very thoughtful!"
Fang Yu said, "Sister Shuang, take me to meet the card creator."
Qiao Xi followed him immediately, "I want to go with you."
The other two didn\'t want to lag behind either. When they were going to stand up, Fang Yu turned and gave them a bland look, "None of you will come with me. If we all enter the game, we\'ll become a conspicuous target."
Seeing his emotionless eyes, everyone sat back on the couch without saying anything.
Qu Liushuang thought the scene was funny. As the senior fellow apprentice, Fang Yu had taken the responsibility for taking care of his three younger fellow apprentices ever since Legend Yang had retired. He had contributed a lot to the success of today\'s Flowing Frost City Club. Without his instruction, the other three little fellas wouldn\'t have achieved anything.

According to the author, Water cards approximate to Fish cards, though the proofreader and the translator think the logic is defective here.
