Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

After a quick wash in the morning, Gu Ye went to school, while [Furnace] remained AFK. As for why he could be so far away from [Furnace]...

That morning, as he was debating whether to go to school, [The Furnace] seemed to possess intelligence and sent him a message. After Gu Ye read the message...

It turns out that once the [Furnace] is summoned, no one else can see its existence unless Gu Ye wants it to. Moreover, there is no distance limit between the [Furnace] and Gu Ye, and he can summon the [Furnace] to his side anytime, anywhere.

The theory class is in the morning, the practice session is in the afternoon, and the self-study is in the evening. However, usually no one goes to the evening. Everyone is in their senior year of high school and they are all very busy. Who has the mind to go to the self-study session?

This afternoon, Gu Ye's sparring partner was an opponent he hadn't expected. Yan Shuangling, dressed in a white casual outfit, stood out from the crowd at the front of the team.

"Today I'll get to see your cards too," Yan Shuangling said calmly.

The area around their battle arena was packed with people. Some were there for Yan Shuangling, while others were there for Gu Ye. After all, one was one of the three most beautiful girls in the school, and the other was a handsome academic genius. Just the two of them standing there would attract attention. Now that they were going to fight, it would be hard not to attract attention.

"As you wish!" Gu Ye shrugged and said nonchalantly.

This is just a normal match; no one would be foolish enough to reveal their hand.

"Zhang Fei!"

"Ya Dao!"

The moment the two appeared, the crowd outside felt a wave of suffocation; their auras were simply too powerful.

The teacher, acting as the temporary referee, saw the two summon their cards and prepare, and immediately shouted:

"start!"

Zhang Fei's multiple traits immediately took effect, his aura surged, and the unique blood and qi power belonging to the [General] type enveloped his eighteen-foot spear.

Ya Dao also drew his Tang sword, the blade igniting with black flames. The two charged at each other simultaneously, and the moment they collided, it was like sparks flying from a metal hammer, scattering sparks across the ground and raising clouds of dust on the battlefield.

The two attacked at an extremely fast speed, so fast that the onlookers could not see them with the naked eye. They could only see two beams of light, one red and one black, colliding continuously.

"I am Zhang Yide of Yan! Who dares to fight me to the death?" Zhang Fei roared to the sky, his face contorted with rage. Several deep wounds marred his upper body, the exposed flesh charred and blackened as if it had been roasted.

His armor was ripped to shreds, and his sword was in no better shape. His black samurai uniform was almost completely torn to shreds, and his right hand had been pierced by the spear. He had no choice but to switch to using his left hand to wield the sword.

The wound was constantly corroded by the power of blood and qi. Although he also possessed the power of blood and qi, his main attacks were the power of fire and ice, with the power of blood and qi merely playing a supporting role.

When facing Zhang Fei, his vital energy was suppressed, and he couldn't even remove the vital energy from his wounds.

The two are now getting serious. They had been sparring in martial arts, and judging from their injuries, Zhang Fei is slightly better.

Zhang Fei activates his skill [Roar I]!

Not to be outdone, Ya Dao immediately followed up with the skill [Ice Breath Cold Blade], swiftly unleashing a massive, dazzling, and sharp blade of light towards Zhang Fei.

Just then, a strange ripple appeared around Ya Dao, and he knew he couldn't dodge Zhang Fei's skill.

The students watching from the sidelines were quite surprised when they got a preliminary understanding of the two players' abilities.

"So Gu Ye really is skilled to get first place in the trial." A student with dyed yellow hair stared blankly at the fight scene in front of him.

"Yan, the school beauty, is the daughter of the Yan Shi Group, so it's normal for her cards to be this strong. I didn't expect Gu Ye, who has neither background nor strength, to be this awesome." Some boys exclaimed.

"They're both so handsome! I wish they were a couple. I really ship them!" Some girls' eyes lit up.

"No, you shouldn't just kowtow to anyone; that will only harm you."

......

Yan Shuangling watched as the massive blade of light struck Zhang Fei, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes. When the smoke dissipated, Zhang Fei's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Oops!"

The restraints around Ya Dao had already taken shape, and he was directly imprisoned in place. Zhang Fei, who had disappeared, also appeared beside him, with his eighteen-foot spear placed against Ya Dao's neck.

Yan Shuangling had no choice but to surrender. The teacher, who was acting as the referee, ran out and announced that Gu Ye had won. The two retrieved their cards and returned to their own teams. Next up were some other students' matches. Gu Ye watched a few times, but then he didn't want to watch anymore. He felt that it was a bit like two noobs fighting each other.

The afternoon passed quickly. Upon returning home, Gu Ye immediately ran into his room. With a thought, the refined materials gushed out of the furnace.

Soon a series of buzzing sounds arose:

[Gained 5 experience points!]

[Gained 5 experience points!]

.......

"Ding! Talent [Refinement] successfully upgraded!!"

Gu Ye retrieved the [Furnace], not even bothering to check the [Refining Materials], and immediately began to examine the effects of the talent upgrade:

[Refined] (Tier 2 140/1000)

effect:

Disassembling all cards and crafting materials yields random refining materials; disassembly time varies depending on the card's level.

[During the decomposition process, all harmful substances within the card are purified.]

Disassembling cards of different levels yields different levels of experience points, which are used to upgrade the furnace.

Refined materials can be used as card crafting materials. Regardless of success or failure, you will gain a certain amount of experience points.

There haven't been any changes so far; the only addition to the talent is one more effect.

[The host can control the range of materials to be refined; the experience points required vary depending on the level of the refined materials.]

.........

Upon sensing this effect, Gu Ye felt a chill run down his spine.

This is like they're not even going to act anymore, they just want whatever material I need, right?

"Slap~" Gu Ye suddenly slapped himself. He had refined it too early. He hadn't expected that the [Refinement] talent would have such a strong effect after upgrading.

If he had controlled the number of cards before refining them, he could have obtained a lot of the card-making materials he needed by now.

"Sigh~"

"It's fate! It's destiny!"

"Forget it, let's just organize the [Refining Materials]!"

Gu Ye turned to look at the pile of [Refined Materials], and his mood calmed down a little. He looked to see if there were any high-level materials to soothe his wounded heart.

He counted them carefully and found that there were actually eighty cards, including the [Spiritual Energy Breath] that Gu Ye had used last time.

There are a full forty cards. It seems that Gu Ye's guess was correct. Each card will be refined into a [Spiritual Energy Breath] treasure. The other cards will also be refined into a [Refining Material].

There are 28 white [Refined Materials], 10 green [Refined Materials], and 2 blue [Refined Materials].

There was also a purple [Refined Material] that Gu Ye hadn't expected. Sure enough, the more you have, the easier it is to get a high-quality item.

He quickly checked what type of [refined material] it was. After seeing the contents, Gu Ye couldn't help but smile, muttering to himself:

"I have something to save my life."

Then look at the pile of [Refined Materials] in front of you. Just two blue [Refined Materials] are enough to quickly break even, and white and green [Refined Materials] will make you even more profitable.

He took a deep breath: "Calm down, calm down."

Trying to sell these "refined materials" without any connections is practically suicidal.
