“Wan Bao Lou black card, I didn't carry it with me,” Qin Chen said casually.
“Without the black card token, how dare you claim to be a black card VIP?” Kang Si Tong sneered, his heart finally relaxing.
It's a joke; treasures like the Wan Bao Lou black card are naturally something ordinary people would carry on themselves, and the fact that Qin Chen didn't have one only confirmed Kang Si Tong's suspicions.
The other party was just someone who had heard about the existence of the black card and was here to deceive people.
“Old Li, take these two down. I want to see what their origins are,” Kang Si Tong coldly commanded.
If Qin Chen was merely causing trouble, that would be one thing, but daring to impersonate a Wan Bao Lou black card VIP was a serious issue, especially to cause a ruckus at Wan Bao Lou.
“Hold on.” Just as the old man was about to make a move, Qin Chen suddenly chuckled coldly, “I don’t have the black card on me, but any black card VIP is recorded at the Wan Bao Lou headquarters. It’s impossible to impersonate one. You must have a Tong Yuan Zhu granted by Wan Bao Lou, right? Just activate the Tong Yuan Zhu, and we’ll find out.”
Kang Si Tong's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes gradually narrowing.
When Qin Chen mentioned the black card VIP, Kang Si Tong was somewhat shocked because even within the Martial Domain, few people knew about the black card VIPs, let alone in the Four-Domains.
But it was only a brief shock; it was Qin Chen’s mention of the “Tong Yuan Zhu” secret artifact that truly astonished him.
The Tong Yuan Zhu is a secret artifact secretly refined by Wan Bao Lou and the Artifact Hall, capable of examining soul auras. It stores various information through complex means and can also store the soul aura of anyone, corresponding one-to-one.
Its structure is so complicated that no one understands it, but as long as anyone inputs a certain soul aura, they can unlock the hidden information within and derive certain results.
This method is incredibly powerful, but the flaws are also enormous. Each Tong Yuan Zhu secret artifact requires a ninth-tier artifact master to expend a great deal of energy to refine it. Although it has been simplified, it still requires a peak eighth-tier artifact master to refine it for forty-nine days to produce a simplified version of the Tong Yuan Zhu, making it extremely expensive.
Moreover, each Tong Yuan Zhu secret artifact has usage restrictions; if the soul aura is inputted too many times, it will cause the formations within to become chaotic, rendering the artifact ineffective.
This also means that only the top-tier guests of Wan Bao Lou can qualify to check information through the Tong Yuan Zhu, and this so-called top-tier guest has a minimum level of being a gold card VIP. The black card VIP that Qin Chen mentioned could naturally check their own information within.
However, because of the rarity of the Tong Yuan Zhu secret artifacts, even within Wan Bao Lou, only a few elders can be equipped with them to check the information of various VIPs.
And because he is the owner of Wan Bao Lou in Central State City, the closest to the Martial Domain in the Eastern Continent, in order to facilitate his work, Wan Bao Lou gave him a Tong Yuan Zhu secret artifact before he took office, allowing him to check some VIP information.
But the key point is that the Tong Yuan Zhu secret artifact is so significant that it can check the information of numerous VIPs of Wan Bao Lou, thus it is classified as a top secret. Not even elders at the Nineth Level Martial God level would know about it; he could only obtain it due to being the owner of Wan Bao Lou closest to the Martial Domain.
But how did Qin Chen, a young man, know about it?
Even if he inadvertently heard about the black card VIPs, the Tong Yuan Zhu is not something that non-core figures of Wan Bao Lou could possibly know about.
Now his expression turned serious; he immediately sent a secret message: “Who exactly are you? How do you know about the ‘Tong Yuan Zhu’ secret artifact?”
