Who said this card is outrageous?

Ever since she got a few cards from Zhang Che, Wang Xinran would summon one to keep her company whenever she had free time.

Today it's Ibrahimovic's turn.

It means her mental strength wasn't strong enough; otherwise, she would have summoned them all, and the thought of three fluffy little creatures surrounding her would be incredibly heartwarming.

"Miss Pan..."

“You can just call me Tingting,” Pan Tingting quickly interrupted, her tone carrying just the right amount of respect.

The seemingly ordinary housewife in front of you is actually Mr. Zhang Che's sister.

Although the two are not related by blood, Pan family intelligence indicates that they are already like siblings, and Zhang Che never puts on airs as a mid-level superhuman in front of Wang Xinran.

When Pan Yue came over yesterday, he was very polite to Wang Xinran, so Pan Tingting naturally wouldn't make a mistake in such a detail.

"Alright, Tingting." Wang Xinran smiled and welcomed her into the living room, inviting her to sit on the sofa. "Xiao Che is currently in the basement studying the cards, so we'll have to wait a little while. Please sit down, I'll go get you a cup of tea."

"Thank you." Pan Tingting sat down obediently, her gaze unconsciously sweeping around the living room.

Not long after, Wang Xinran came over with a cup of tea and sat down opposite Pan Tingting.

"By the way, have you had breakfast?" She glanced at the clock on the wall. "I don't know when Xiao Che will be finished. If you haven't eaten, would you like to have something together?"

At this point, Wang Xinran shook her head helplessly, her tone tinged with heartache: "Xiao Che's schedule has been all messed up lately, and he doesn't eat on time. There's nothing else I can do but try my best to take care of him."

Fortunately, Zhang Che is now a mid-level extraordinary being, whose physical and mental strength has surpassed that of ordinary people; otherwise, with his irregular schedule, he might not have been able to hold on.

If an ordinary person were to go through this kind of ordeal, they would have been in the hospital long ago.

Pan Tingting quickly waved her hand: "Good logistics are also very important. Without your help, Mr. Zhang Che would not have been able to focus on his card research."

Then Pan Tingting politely declined Wang Xinran's invitation to have breakfast together, explaining that she was used to waking up early and usually ate breakfast before seven o'clock.

……

So the two of them sat in the living room and chatted casually.

However, neither of them was really focused on the conversation, so it was rather dry.

The only useful information was that Wang Xinran found out the general situation of Pan Tingting's family.

She's been out in the world for so many years, and although she's recently become a housewife, her social experience is still far superior to that of a rich girl like Pan Tingting.

After all, even with talent, Pan Tingting still needs to invest a lot of energy in becoming a third-tier card maker at this age, which has led to a weakness in her social skills.

Therefore, being tricked into saying certain things is inevitable.

As time passed, the tea on the table stopped steaming. Ibu jumped off Wang Xinran's shoulder, stomped around on the sofa, and finally found the sunniest spot to curl up and doze off.

Ibrahimovic's series of actions caught Pan Tingting's attention.

She knew, of course, that this was one of the cards Zhang Che had created. It seemed to be only a second-tier blue quality card, but it could so realistically simulate the life dynamics of a creature.

This immediately raised Pan Tingting's admiration for Zhang Che to a whole new level.

Around 10 o'clock, there was finally some noise coming from the basement, and Pan Tingting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, she's never been this careful when talking to her elders, afraid that she might say something wrong and offend Wang Xinran, which would affect her relationship with Zhang Che.

When Zhang Che walked into the living room, he still looked somewhat tired.

However, he spotted Pan Tingting immediately and casually greeted her, "You're here."

“Mr. Zhang Che!” Pan Tingting quickly stood up and responded.

However, due to excessive nervousness, her hands and feet seemed a little uncooperative. When she stood up, her knee accidentally bumped against the coffee table, causing her to wince in pain.

Zhang Che was both amused and exasperated by her appearance.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you." He waved his hand. "Sit down first, I'll go wash my face."

Pan Tingting stood there alone, her face slightly flushed.

That was so embarrassing!

Wang Xinran couldn't help but laugh when she saw Pan Tingting's embarrassed look, but she didn't say anything. She got up and went to the kitchen to reheat the breakfast she had left for Zhang Che.

After tidying himself up and shaking off the fatigue from staying up all night, Zhang Che returned to the living room. Without caring that there were outsiders present, he grabbed the breakfast that Wang Xinran had prepared and wolfed it down.

He was indeed a little hungry.

Pan Tingting waited quietly by the side until Zhang Che finished his meal before finally showing an expectant expression.

“Mr. Zhang Che…” Her voice carried a hint of nervousness, “about the matter of [Black Feather]…”

Seeing this, Zhang Che didn't keep her in suspense any longer. Instead, he flipped his hand and handed a Tier 3 blue card, [Dark Stone], to Pan Tingting.

“Your feeling is right.” Zhang Che placed the card in Pan Tingting’s hand. “The [Black Feather] series can indeed be taken to the next level. The reason why you can’t take it to the next level even after you’ve coordinated the cards to an almost perfect state is probably because you lack the energy source that can make them go further.”

This is a conclusion Zhang Che drew based on his previous experience in fusing cards.

Furthermore, the cards in this world do not have any growth potential before reaching purple quality; they are in a completely fixed state.

Therefore, even though Pantene's "Coordination" trait can amplify the card's combat power to some extent, additional power is needed to take it a step further.

The Dark Stone is used to provide this "extra power".

After hearing Zhang Che's explanation, Pan Tingting's eyes showed a look of realization.

That's it!

“Let’s go to the training ground in the backyard.” Zhang Che stood up. “Practice makes perfect. As for whether it’s as I guessed, you’ll know once you try it.”

Chapter 188 [Black Feather - Armored Wings]!

When Cheng Shu, a card maker, bought a house, he specifically prepared a backyard where he could test the effects of the cards.

Wang Xinran and her husband are both true adventurers, so their home naturally includes a training area.

The training ground wasn't very big, about half the size of a basketball court. The ground was paved with hard stone slabs, and some indelible training marks remained on them.

Several training stakes stood around the perimeter, riddled with holes, having been used countless times.

The two arrived at the center of the training field and stood facing each other.

"Come on," Zhang Che said, hands in his pockets, a hint of childishness in his voice that he himself didn't realize. "Summon your [Black Feather] cards, then coordinate them with the [Dark Stone] to summon even greater power!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Tingting became instantly excited, further confirming Zhang Che's suspicion that the girl indeed possessed some hidden talent.

However, he didn't say much, but simply stepped back a few paces, giving Pan Tingting enough space.

Pan Tingting took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions, then her mental energy surged from her body, activating the card in her hand.

[Black Feather - Gale] and [Black Feather - Black Spear] appeared on the training field one after the other, followed by the [Dark Stone] that Zhang Che had just given her.

"coordination!"

Pan Tingting activated her unique qualities.

The next second, all three cards lit up simultaneously, intertwining and creating a strange resonance.

Then they drew closer and closer, and eventually merged into one.

Amidst the dazzling light, Zhang Che vaguely saw a humanoid creature clad in jet-black armor rapidly taking shape.

……

However, in Pan Tingting's perception, this process presented a completely different picture.

The moment the "Coordination" trait was activated, her consciousness was pulled into a strange and special space, where she vaguely saw a humanoid creature clad in black armor.

Pan Tingting tried hard to get closer to the other person, but all her efforts were in vain.

During this process, Pan Tingting's mental energy began to deplete rapidly, but she had no intention of giving up. Only one thing remained in her mind: she had to catch that guy!

However, as her mental energy rapidly depleted, she felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, the scene before her eyes began to sway and distort, and the dark figure became indistinct.

Her subconscious was sending out warning signals, trying to make her stop, because she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer!

But Pan Tingting didn't listen.

She remembered the expectations of her parents and relatives, and the heavy burden on her shoulders...

How can I stop here!

I absolutely cannot admit defeat!

Pan Tingting felt that her face must look extremely ferocious at that moment, but she didn't care.

As long as we can catch that guy—

Fueled by this belief, she gradually closed the distance to the humanoid creature and finally saw its appearance clearly: heavy black armor covering almost its entire body; metal armor that could move freely, and jet-black wings that allowed it to soar through the sky...

Fueled by this powerful belief, Pan Tingting's hand pierced through the darkness and touched the humanoid creature.

I've caught him!

The moment she made contact with the other person, a series of thoughts flashed through her mind—

Black Feather - Armored Wings!

……

Although it seemed like a long time had passed in Pan Tingting's mental world, only a short while had passed in the real world.

From Zhang Che's perspective, as Pan Tingting successfully coordinated the three cards, the result was just like his own card fusion: the three cards slowly merged into one, and a tall figure emerged from the light.

It was a crow-man covered in heavy black armor, with a pair of large, jet-black wings on its back. It was over two meters tall, with a robust build, and the middle part of its armor had blood-red patterns that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

It hovered in mid-air, its wings slowly unfurling, and a powerful dark energy wave emanated from it and spread outwards.
