My exclusive card pool

Chapter 9: Return to the Fairy Tale
Wang Xi watched the girl walk into the elevator, then closed the door and returned to the living room with the takeaway and express delivery.

"Ning Meng?"

He said to himself.

"A strange delivery man... and courier."

There's nothing wrong with a young girl working two jobs at the same time, but the other party's attitude is a bit too serious, and he even started role-playing.

Wang Xi's attention was quickly drawn back by the fragrance in the bag, and he stopped thinking about anything else.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

He opened the thermal bag, took out four or five food boxes, and started to eat with relish.

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, dried tofu with oil, braised pork knuckle, mapo tofu and a taro vegetable soup.

Wang Xi was eating with his mouth full of oil, while the villain in his heart clasped his hands together and kowtowed continuously.

"I thank heaven and earth! I thank my parents! I'm grateful that the food in this new world is the same as in my previous life!"

He wiped his nose and tears and secretly felt relieved.

What a tragic thing it would be to travel to a food desert.

Could it be that there really are time travelers who eat bread and dried fish every day?
Wang Xi almost laughed out loud.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

He couldn't breathe and was almost choked to death by the chili oil. He quickly picked up the water cup and took a few gulps. Then he let out a hissing sound of relief.

While eating, Wang Xi opened the sealed wooden box.

The inside was filled with black sponge, carefully protecting a purple stone ingot three fingers wide and half a palm long. In the center of the stone ingot, a small word "170g" was engraved.

Wang Xi took it out carefully and looked at it carefully.

"It seems that the New World authorities have already mastered the mature magic stone smelting technology..."

It does resemble gold bars.

But gold is highly plastic, resistant to oxidation and corrosion, and extremely stable. Humans have studied it for thousands of years and it is an old friend.

Magic Stone, however, is completely different. It has only appeared for a dozen or twenty years, and to humans, it is a mysterious resource that brings disaster and is completely unfamiliar.

From this point alone, Wang Xi realized that the five major countries in the new world had devoted unimaginable amounts of time and energy to the research and exploration of supernatural powers.

It is an amazing thing to be able to develop so many technologies in such a short period of time and to build a basically complete system around the extraordinary.

"Sure enough, our Horrible Ape's greatest strengths are adaptability and creativity."

Wang Xi sighed.

What doesn't kill humans will make them stronger.

"I just don't know if this technology is due to my parents..."

He thought of his parents, maze researchers. As far as he could remember, they spent most of their time at the institute, and the few times they spent time with him were few and far between.

He shook his head and withdrew his thoughts.

Wang Xi grabbed the magic stone and had a thought.

whoosh-

The purple stone ingot instantly disappeared from his palm, and words flowed out from the dark crack in his mind:
Energy: 200

「Can be drawn twice」

Wang Xi's face lit up with joy.

As expected, it was consistent with my guess. 1 gram of magic stone can provide 1 point of energy, which is just enough for 2 drawing opportunities.

Moreover, New World’s online shopping is quite reliable. If it says 170 grams, it is 170 grams, not a bit less.

In a previous life, he might have received a two-kilogram basket of purple sweet potatoes. Following the "ten times compensation for fake goods" rule, they exploited this to launch a Dou Zong realm where no one could choose and no one could report. It was terrifying.

Wang Xi's fists stiffened when he remembered that he had received eleven water cups with cartoon airplane patterns printed on them.

'Draw a card!'

He sipped the last mouthful of soup and dropped his chopsticks.

The cracks in my mind slowly opened.

The two white light balls, one on the left and one on the right, are clearly separated, each in a corner, and do not interfere with each other.

"Two separate card pools? One for Wendy and one for Sugar Man. That would be convenient!"

Wang Xi thought about it and chose "Wendy" first.

100 points of energy disappeared in an instant, and a ball of white light flashed on the left, shining brightly.

"If a swordsman loses his sword, he's like a tiger without its sharp fangs and claws? Humph, I don't believe it..."

Wendy's voice echoed in my mind.

hum-

In the living room, a ball of light appeared in front of Wang Xi.

He cupped his hands.

A cool card appeared in the palm of my hand.

"Iris Taijutsu: Battlefield Combat (Skill Card)"

"Quality: White 1-star (upgradeable)"

"The twenty-six-year-old female knight has been through the fires of battle, integrating military combat techniques into a comprehensive approach, developing a martial arts style that prioritizes efficient killing while conserving physical energy. She once killed over a dozen armored bandits with her bare hands."

"After using this, you will become proficient in battlefield combat and gain full control over your body."

"Permanent Taijutsu!"

Wang Xi was delighted.

Another passive skill card.

Teacher Wendy is really a "treasure girl". The three wild cards I got from her are all good things.

Wang Xi activated it without any hesitation.

The cards turned into light, covering the body surface.

In an instant, Wang Xi felt that some fighting skills appeared in his mind out of thin air, and his body seemed to have adapted to it long ago and could be used anytime and anywhere.

With his current physical fitness comparable to that of an athlete, he is like a tiger with wings.

Wang Xi couldn't wait to stand up, stretched out his arms, threw a few punches in the air, and then swung his elbows and kicked his legs to get into position.

Amidst the whistling wind from his fists, his posture and movements were now very natural, and even more pleasing to the eye, compared to his previous rough and unsightly movements.

"If I encounter that sugar monster again, I might be able to kill it one-on-one without the help of a chainsaw."

Wang Xi clenched his fist and silently assessed his own strength.

"Even if we face three or four sieges at once, it shouldn't be a problem. We can find opportunities to defeat them one by one. But if there are more than that, I'm afraid it's hard to say."

'continue!'

He once again gave instructions to Caius in his mind.

The last 100 points of energy were consumed, and the remaining ball of light was also extracted.

"So sweet! Just like you, Mommy!"

A little boy's laughter echoed, and Wang Xi had another card in his hand.

The card features a melted blue hard candy.

"Blueberry Flavored Icing (Skill Card)"

"Quality: White 1-star (upgradeable)"

"It seems to be a kind of candy magic, created by a witch living in the forest. The original purpose of this magic was just for decoration."

"After use, your body will be covered in a layer of blue hardened sugar coating with a blueberry scent, which can be used for defense. Each use will consume a certain amount of magic power (if you do not have magic power, it will consume double the physical strength)."

"interesting."

Wang Xi took this universal card and smiled.

Obviously, this is an active skill card.

He just didn't have the "magic power" that was consumed, but fortunately he could use double his physical strength to replace it.

He tried to activate it.

hum-

The card in his hand flashed with light and merged with his body. It could both materialize and reside within his body.

This is the difference between original wild cards and artificial cards. Artificial cards can only be held in physical form.

clack clack...

Wang Xi raised his hand and saw a layer of light blue substance covering the skin starting from the tip of his index finger, and spreading to the back of his hand, wrist and even arm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, his entire forearm seemed to be wearing a blue leather glove, smooth and shiny.

Wang Xi tried to tap it with his fingers, and it made a puffing sound.

Very strange texture.

It's as hard as metal, yet as soft as leather.

He had an intuition that if he wanted to, he could cover his entire body with this "blue icing" within a second.

If the "Cupid Protective Suit" is added, with double defense, he can withstand the attack of the sugar pills spit out by the sugar man and only suffer minor skin injuries at most.

'Another way to save your life.'

Wang Xi was quite satisfied.

When he lowered his hand, the "blue gloves" quickly faded away, disappearing like starlight mist, and a faint blueberry scent lingered in the air.

Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been jogging for seven or eight minutes, his heartbeat slightly quickening. It was just a tentative use, and it didn't consume much energy.

"Without the so-called magical power as a source, I can't force it to last long just by relying on my physical strength."

He also has a rough idea of ​​the consumption level of this card.

'Well, maybe five minutes.'

...

...

Time flies and two days pass.

The days of paid leave were very comfortable. Wang Xi basically did not go out and spent most of his time in bed.

Check your phone and watch the live broadcast.

The awakened memories gradually merged with the original memories, and with the help of intensive online surfing, the understanding of the new world was deepened.

Seeing that he didn't reply to the message, his female colleague Zhu Yuhe stopped harassing him, which made him feel relieved.

It was just after eight o'clock that morning.

Wang Xi couldn't wait to sit on the sofa in the living room, relax his body and close his eyes.

Projection hosted

World: Fairy Tale

Exploration: 0.01%

"Cooling down is complete, you can descend."

'Advent.'

Wang Xi issued an order.

The slender crack in his mind called Caius opened, light burst out, and an invisible force pulled his consciousness.

Almost instantly.

Wang Xi felt that the environment had changed in some way.

Opening my eyes again——

The surroundings no longer resembled a living room.

The view is misty and moist.

I was sitting in a wooden bathtub, soaking in warm water, with a clean white towel draped over the edge of the tub.

Two pairs of tender little hands were wiping back and forth on her body, one on the left and one on the right, massaging gently.

Wang Xi was stunned at first.

Immediately, he caught a glimpse of two maids with golden hair, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who were diligently helping him to scrub his body and bathe.

"I'm... out of jail?"

He was a little surprised.

"It seems Wendy didn't kill me... So what happened during the time I was hosting the projection?"

The time flow rate between the two worlds was about 1:7. Two days in the main world meant two weeks had passed in the fairy tale world.

Technically, this is his third coming.

The first two times he was always trapped in prison.

At first, when Wang Xi awakened his memory in the main world, he sensed the existence of Caius in his mind. It was also at that time that he first opened the door to the other world.

Unfortunately, I was imprisoned as soon as I arrived here, and I was completely confused about the situation I was in. After repeatedly asking the guards questions, I finally figured out my identity and what happened.

In this different world, his name is "Gai Farrell", a fallen nobleman of the Earldom of Randall, and the fiancé of the Earl's daughter "Sarah Crawford".

Located in the north of the Stag Kingdom, Rundor guards the border for the Queen and intimidates the Northmen.

Unexpectedly, Wendy Barov, the Knight Commander of Randall and one of the Earl's most trusted right-hand men, secretly collaborated with the enemy. While the Earl was visiting the Duchy of Dunkirk, she teamed up with the northerners to attack the Earl's territory.

The incident happened suddenly and the territory fell.

Including Sera and Gay, the Crawford family and many high-ranking officials of the territory were all taken prisoners.

Wang Xi thought of many ways and tried many times, but he still couldn't escape from the prison.

But now, for some unknown reason, he was suddenly released.

"Hey, do you think Lord Kai will still be awake?"

At this time, the maid on the left asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Another maid shook her head and answered hesitantly. "I heard that Lord Kai was... ahem, upset by Wendy."
