In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Chapter 169 Field Card - World

A week passed just like that. Until Sunday, Lu Mingfei gathered all five maids and sat them down at a table. "One of you has betrayed me—cough, no." Lu Mingfei coughed subconsciously to cover up his embarrassment.

These past few days he has greatly expanded his reading, including many religious texts such as the Bible. Subconsciously, he felt that this card-forging process would be unlike any other. It wouldn't just refer to the difficulty of forging the cards themselves, but also likely to involve the breadth of knowledge of the card-forger.

Although the materials used for this card crafting were merely children's drawings, from a long-term perspective, these materials might represent the rise of a civilization, as these writings would be the first traces left by this new civilization.

"Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration." Lu Mingfei coughed and turned his gaze to the maids. "In short, I need you to use your strengths and add your own understanding to this card—"

Lu Mingfei ultimately chose the approach of preserving as many possibilities as possible from the very beginning of the process, and then allowing all participants to further specialize in the subsequent training.

"—That's about it. You understand, right?"

The wine fox maids nodded and stood in their places.

Lead and mercury flowed, magic surged, and the magic array on the ground shone brilliantly under the influence of magic—but this was not the most important thing. What was truly important happened in Lu Mingfei's perception.

That was radiance, a radiance so brilliant it was almost blinding, truly symbolizing the first glimmer of light at the birth of the world. And more importantly:

That radiance was indeed under his control!

In a daze, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had truly become the God described in the Bible, simply saying, "Let there be light," and light was born; simply wanting to separate light from darkness, and day and night came into being—

Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Lu Mingfei suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This truly is world-shaking!"

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had done the work of the Creator. He pulled his palm upwards, and an indestructible rock—or perhaps it couldn't be called a rock, because its mass was harder than any other rock in the world.

"It is indeed indestructible," only because Lu Mingfei believed so.

"Since it serves as a foundation, let's call it bedrock." Having casually given this new thing a name, Lu Mingfei continued his work.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Mingfei pressed down from above, and soil and grass seeds appeared. An endless flat expanse was born on this land, filling a layer on top of the bedrock.

Flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, pheasants, and wild boars appeared, wandering aimlessly across the land.

"Just a layer of grass, it's a bit monotonous—" Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, then waved his hand again. Mountains rise from the earth, oceans spread from the sand, and there are deserts, snowfields, glaciers, and forests; the world thus takes shape.

Lu Mingfei, smug and self-satisfied, looked around and said, "Hmm, okay, that's about it—like this?"

The maids' consciousness also came with him to this newly born world, and the world changed from then on due to the struggle between various wills.

In the darkness, where no one is watching, monsters are born. Some are empty-handed, others armed, they roam about, seeking prey;

Beneath the earth, in the dark and hidden places, cities rise from the void. The dark, hidden masses erode and replace the original ground, growing out of thin air as long as life dies;

Beneath the bedrock, an "older world" was born. Before the true birth of the world, there was no flow of time, so even though this "older world" was created after the birth of the surface, it is indeed an older world.

This is because time was already flowing here at this time, earlier than in the real world.

When Lu Mingfei looked over, the pigs that had fallen into this world had already evolved into pig-people.

"What is all this nonsense?!" Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

At this moment, he could even feel the will of the wine fox maids clashing in the void, pulling at the world, making it more complete and abundant, while also making it increasingly dangerous: "It should be designed this way! This design is much more fun!"

"No way! Where would we find the land to farm if we did that? Where should I build my farm?"

"Forget about the farm, I think it should be designed this way to make my machines work—"

"Isn't this monster a bit too strong? Let's add a restriction so it can't see and can only hear—"

Lu Mingfei didn't try to stop these disputes. It was precisely because of these struggles that the world underwent such rich changes.

Only when this world reached its limit did Lu Mingfei withdraw, return to reality, and end this alchemy.

Then I looked at this brand new card:

【world】

[Type: Basic Land Hand]

[Quality: Orange Epic]

【characteristic:

Basic: Provides one point of each of the five colors of mana. Gains more mana of the corresponding color when expanding the world or replenishing the terrain. Minable: Obtain more resources by hunting creatures, planting plants, and mining minerals. Buildable: Gain more attributes by gathering resources and constructing buildings.

[PS: I went on the computer at 5 PM and left at 4 PM, not because I had a great time, but because I suddenly died – a popular online comment]

Lu Mingfei held the card between his fingers and flicked it lightly—

Clearly, it perfectly achieved Lu Mingfei's original design vision, retaining a high degree of scalability, and even having the ability to output resources in reverse, thus benefiting Lu Mingfei's own strengths.

The only question is: "What exactly is this construction project? Can simply setting up any set of buildings be considered 'completed'?"

Lu Mingfei stroked the edge of the card, lost in thought.

This card is Lu Mingfei's top-down view. Perhaps because of the distance, the many field groups on the card have been abstracted into individual pigment dots, roughly forming an irregular circle.

As for the text on the card, there's not much to say:

【world】

[Attribute: Original] [Type: Basic Land Card]

[Effect: Basic - Multi-population]

[Basic Land - Multi-type: This land card contains plains, coastlines, mountains, jungles, and swamps, which can provide you with one point each of white, blue, red, green, and black mana.]

After pondering for a moment without finding a solution, Lu Mingfei waved his hand and put it out of his mind for the time being. Since he couldn't come up with a solution in his head, he might as well just try it out.

Just like in a game, what do you do if you're unsure whether there's an ambush in a certain place? Of course, you gather your troops and attack.

If there is no ambush, then things are fine; if there is an ambush, then starting the battle first gives you the upper hand and the initiative.
