Elemental Card King.

Chapter 4, I'll call you Xiaoling.
Card Master talents are not fixed and unchanging.

As the card player's level increases, talents will be unlocked and produce more effects to a certain extent.

Card Master levels are: Novice, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Legend, Myth, and Godlike.

The initial stage of meditation practice signifies entering the beginner level of a card master.

Some people will awaken the Card Master talent.

As your mental strength increases, there is a good chance that you will unlock new effects with each new stage.

How things change varies from person to person.

Um.
It is precisely because of this huge variable factor that the authority of the talent sequence ranking has been greatly shaken.

The evidence supporting the acquired theory is indeed tenable.

As for Su Chen, after merging with another life, his soul strength did indeed experience a qualitative improvement.

For example, in the present situation.
Not long ago, he had repeatedly tried attribute transformation on campus, pushing himself to the limit. Now, after releasing the elemental spirit, he felt full of energy and once again tried to activate the talent effect.

The attributes are transforming!

【wind】!
Su Chen's eyes reflected a faint blue, wispy hue.

The wind whispers, light and delicate as feathers, descended gracefully.

Its entire body was pale blue, like a swirling wind.

Its tail, like a wisp of smoke, drifted erratically, creating a gentle breeze that brought a refreshing feeling.
The little guy blinked, looking at its owner's figure across from it, then looking down at itself, seemingly curious about the changes within itself.

As a favorite of the elements, it does not reject any elemental changes within its body.

"very good."

This is very important to Su Chen.

Summoned beasts have souls.

Bound by the contract, summoned beasts will forcibly accept all commands from their master.

Many people consider that they are only using a transitional card, and may even unbind and trade it away in the future, so they might as well skip the idea of ​​cultivating a relationship with it.

To them, it was just a tool.

Anyway, it doesn't interfere with daily combat at all.

But Su Chen wouldn't treat the elemental spirits that way.

First, it takes into account that the evolutionary path of elemental spirits can go further.

Secondly, it has its own 'cracking tool' to help it go further.

Given the long period of use and the future consumption of a large amount of his own materials, Su Chen naturally longed to develop a bond with his elemental spirit.

In the current parlance of card collectors, it's about establishing a so-called spiritual bond between the player and their pet.

A degree of empathy and encouragement is better than mechanical commands.

This is the only way to motivate the summoned beasts.

Su Chen was willing to believe and accept this theory, and he intended to train his children in this way.

"so."

"I'll call you Xiaoling."

Naming is the first step in establishing a relationship.

Su Chen lowered one hand and gently placed it on the head of Feng Yuqingling in front of him.

Its small and exquisite body has only one pair of eyes, which it blinks eagerly as it looks at its owner.

Feeling a spiritual connection, it figured out its master's meaning.

Little Ling!

That's its name.

Susu
The wisps of catkins suddenly swirled upwards, drawing towards the owner's hand on his head.

"good."

Su Chen felt the wisps of water flowing through his fingers, as if they were interlocked, and Xiao Ling was clearly responding to him.

"Hehe~ Witnessing a historic moment."

Click!

With the sound of a camera taking a picture, Tong Li, who was standing nearby, had already captured the moment with her mobile phone.

at this time.

A woman's voice came from the kitchen.

"Tong Li, where have you been?"

That was my aunt's voice.

"Oops!"

Tong Li had a bad feeling. She realized that she had been gone for a while and her mother must think she had been slacking off.

Seeing that the restaurant was busy, Su Chen quickly put on a clean staff uniform and stepped into the kitchen from the backyard.

"Rest in the courtyard for a while, and remember not to run around."

After giving some instructions, Su Chen let Xiao Ling get used to the outside environment.

The popularity of Xianye New Town has indeed increased significantly.

The number of people at the cat cafe restaurant is significantly higher than at the same time last year.

After a busy day, it was already 8:30 pm before we finally closed the shop to rest.

"No matter how many customers we have, we will never run a late-night food stall. It's not only a hardship for people, but cats also need to rest."

Aunt Yun Shuting sighed.

When she looked at Su Chen, she smiled and said, "Besides, please don't delay my Chen's future. I'm really sorry to trouble you today. I've already contacted the labor group and immediately assigned two summer temporary workers to me."

"fine."

Su Chen felt it was inappropriate to accept his aunt's favor.

Since his parents disappeared, his aunt's family, who have assumed the responsibility of his guardianship, have been very good to him over the past three years.

No one ate much for dinner that night; they just had a little something to eat.

Fortunately.

My aunt's house is right behind the cat cafe, in a villa complex within the residential area, within a five-minute walk.

Everyone took some of the restaurant's remaining selected ingredients, and the group set off. Around the same time, Uncle Tong Ruisong, who had been working overtime for days, also drove home.

At 9 PM.

The family then began their dinner properly.

"Let's raise a toast to Ah Chen! He's going to be a very promising card master from now on."

My uncle finally managed to open a bottle of red wine.

"Also, congratulations to my uncle on his career taking off."

Su Chen raised his Coke and said to his aunt beside him, "I also wish Auntie's cat café continued success."

"certainly."

"And my little cousin will graduate smoothly next year."

After hearing this.

Tong Li, who had leaned closer, smiled slightly and said, "That's more like it."

My aunt and uncle are not card players.

But this well-ordered world also leaves ample room for ordinary people to shine.

My uncle is a marketing manager at Xingyao Cards' new Donghua branch.

The latest civilian vehicle card, 'Flying Shuttle 17', is a flagship civilian card product of Starry Cards.

In recent years, with the rise of civilian vehicle trucks, my uncle's income has also been steadily increasing.

of course.

Competition from other companies and the future involvement of more giant companies in the civilian sector have kept my uncle very busy this summer.

"A-star Card Company is also getting into the car manufacturing business. Recently, it has acquired several downstream supporting companies. The booming development of civilian vehicle trucks is an unstoppable trend."

My uncle sighed, clearly feeling the pressure even more.

He downed another large glass, seemingly proud of his involvement in this momentous undertaking.

but
There's a reason why his aunt wouldn't let him drink too much.

"Those bastards in the engineering department are so arrogant because they think they're card makers. Ah Chen, you must make something of yourself in the future, at least better than your parents."

"In this world, card masters are the ones who truly stand out from the crowd."

After dinner, my uncle, who was quite drunk, started complaining.

Su Chen came out of the kitchen and handed over a glass of hangover remedy.

"Ignore him."

Auntie didn't want Su Chen to get involved in these chores, especially after learning that he was preparing for a middle school card game competition, she urged him to go upstairs to take a shower and rest.

On the second floor, in a guest room.

After taking a shower, Su Chen, dressed in pajamas, sat on a soft sofa chair.

He found the spell card [Wind's Protection] and, using the soul-binding technique attached to meditation, successfully completed the contract in one go.

【Name】：Wind's Protection
[Quality]: Green

[Level]: ★

[Attribute]: Wind

[Category]: Spell Cards - Elemental Guardian Series

【Effect】:
Guardian (Active): When activated on an individual unit, the whirlwind will form a solid wind element barrier around the target, effectively resisting any external damage.

Purification of Wind (Passive): Targets within the protection will have negative status effects removed as much as possible.

[Introduction]: The wings of the wind gently envelop you, protecting you from external malice and harm.

The contract was finalized in one go.

No external aids such as burning incense or sipping tea are needed.

"The strength of the soul came into play."

Su Chen sighed.

Once you've mastered the basics of meditation, you can boast of having 100 points of mental strength.

The unit is 'energy'.

According to textbooks, theoretically, a mental strength of 100 is sufficient to accommodate two one-star cards.

The quality of the contract greatly affects its success rate.

The probability of someone like Su Chen successfully obtaining two green-quality cards through a contract is extremely low.

This must be due to the strength of one's own soul.

Compared to the ability to boost mental strength through meditation, the soul, located above the sea of ​​consciousness, seems ethereal and intangible. The methods for cultivating the soul are simply beyond the reach of card masters below the elite level.

"This should be considered an invisible benefit of merging with another part of my life."

Su Chen turned on the personal computer on the desktop.

He launched a related soul search.

soon.

He further confirmed that the strength of an individual's soul is positively correlated with the speed of meditation and the success rate of contract cards, while the mental energy consumption for card manipulation is inversely proportional.

"I heard that the spots for the top class are first determined at the end of the second semester of the junior year. I am currently ranked 42nd, which is obviously behind the first group."

"Now it seems..."

"It should only be a matter of time before we catch up."

Su Chen has high expectations for the future.

After successfully binding two green-quality cards to a contract, the player received a spiritual gift that increased their mental strength to 109.

Even physical strength has seen a slight increase as a result.

There's still some time before midnight.

He took out his own beginner card master identity card and placed it directly on the mini computer host.

hum! !

With automatic sensor recognition, the screen immediately turned white, and a 'Card Time' logo popped up.
