In front of the Imperial University card room, a sharp middle-aged man is answering the phone.

"Yes, I understand."

"Alright, I got it."

"I will communicate well with King Xiu."

"It's all a misunderstanding, the other party should understand too."

"It's just a small matter, she definitely won't mind."

"No problem, I will make sure to have the right attitude."

"Phew..."

Hanging up the phone, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh.

His name is Song Pai, and since his parents are both fans of Cubic Cards, they gave him this name back then.

In the city of Imperial, Song Pai is a man of considerable status.

The distinguished Vice President of the Cubic Card Association's China Branch.

One must know that the China Branch manages all Cubic Card affairs in China.

Which shows how high the status of Vice President Song Pai is.

The reason why he slightly lowered his posture earlier was because the person on the other end of the phone holds an even higher position than himself.

It's the President of the China Branch.

And he came here today because he has a matter to discuss with Xiu Cangjia.

One of the King-tier ranks in China.

Every King-tier rank within the Federation is a person who needs to be shown great respect.

Because among them, someone will eventually have the opportunity to play cards with the gods.

That is to say, every King-tier rank may represent all of humanity in contacting the gods.

Such beings are those whom the Association must treat with utmost care and courtesy.

That's why the Association in China sent the Vice President to show respect.

This King Xiu has had a few brief interactions with the China Association, and everyone has heard that she is a person with a slightly quirky temperament.

That's why the President specifically called just now to instruct not to upset the other party.

"President Song, we have already found out which room King Xiu is in."

At this moment, an Association staff member came out of the card room.

"Alright, then you all wait here."

"I'll go up myself."

Looking at the Imperial University Association office's person in charge smiling beside him, Song Pai felt a bit uncomfortable.

Moreover, taking a few followers up might seem ostentatious, fearing it would leave a bad impression.

According to the information obtained, Song Pai took the elevator to the 108th floor.

Then stood at the door, hesitated for a while.

The indication light on the room showed that the person inside was in the Cubic Pod.

Meaning they were most likely playing cards in the Cubic Card world at the moment. He didn't know if abruptly interrupting would annoy the other party.

"Oh well, I'm already here."

Song Pai thought for a moment and pressed the request communication button anyway.

He wasn't idle either, the Association still had many affairs to handle, no time to delay too long.

[Ring… Ring… Ring...]

The ring lasted for a minute, but no one answered.

Song Pai waited for a while and pressed it again.

Just like that, pressed a total of 5 times, and then a lazy voice finally came from the other side.

[Hey... Just leave the takeout at the door]

"Um, hi King Xiu."

"I'm Song Pai from the Association, we've met before."

Song Pai quickly introduced himself.

[...]

Then the other side suddenly fell silent, not until 30 seconds later did it speak again.

[Do you know the consequences of interrupting my card game?]

[I'm currently bombing in the Eagle Zone server... oh no, having a match with the masters there]

Xiu Cangjia's attitude changed a bit suddenly.

"Uh..."

Song Pai thought to himself, if you're smurfing, just smurf, why specifically run to the Eagle Zone to pick on their young folks.

"Sorry for the intrusion, but I do have something to discuss."

Of course, he wouldn't expose it.

[Alright then, wait until I finish this game]

[Let me tell you, if it's for some trivial matter]

[You're done for]

After saying these lines, Xiu Cangjia hung up the call.

"Sigh..."

Having been scolded, Song Pai sighed, feeling a bit aggrieved.

Thinking about how when he returns to the Association, he must properly punish that staff member.

Made him come all the way from downtown, and now having to face this.

What Song Pai didn't expect was that his wait at the door actually took nearly 30 minutes.

"Sorry for the wait, President Song."

"I just encountered a bladder game."

When Xiu Cangjia opened the door, her face clearly showed a sense of satisfaction from smurfing.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Being invited inside, Song Pai wore a smile on his face.

"Would you like a cup of tea?"

Seeing the person in real life, Xiu Cangjia was relatively polite.

After all, she didn't owe the China Association anything. Considering that she had helped them participate in regional King card tournaments and achieved some good results.

In the King-tier ranks, her level was considered quite good.

"Sure, a cup would be nice."

Song Pai nodded.

Right after he said this, he saw Xiu Cangjia stand up and was about to leave.

"King Xiu, where are you going?"

He was stunned.

"To pick tea leaves for you."

"Recently, I found a good tea at Xidu University."

"Wait a bit, with the time to make the tea, I'll probably be back in two or three days."

Xiu Cangjia explained.

"........ or maybe forget it, I don't need tea."

Song Pai didn't know that this King Xiu had a penchant for jokes.

"Is that so."

Surprisingly, Xiu Cangjia seemed genuinely disappointed at hearing this.

"The main reason I came over was to apologize to King Xiu."

Seeing her sit back down, Song Pai quickly got straight to the point.

"It's about that... robot you picked up at the Association this morning."
