Who said this card is outrageous?

"Um……"

Zhang Che didn't know how to answer this question. He had never encountered similar troubles, so he couldn't empathize with the other person.

Zhang Che remained silent for a moment before finally offering words of comfort: "At least, the experiment just now proved that your traits can indeed activate the hidden power within the cards I created."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, the Armor Wings is ultimately just a fourth-tier card. Once you successfully advance to the mid-level transcendent realm, you will have the power to control it."

After hearing what Zhang Che said, her complexion improved considerably. She nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

However, given her physical condition, Zhang Che still called Pan Yue and asked him to pick her up.

"Mayor Pan, your niece has run into a little trouble with me. But don't worry, she's alright. Could you please send someone to pick her up?"

Pan Yue's voice visibly tensed for a moment on the other end of the phone, but he quickly regained his composure and said he would send someone over immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Che looked at Pan Tingting, thought for a moment, and then gave her a warning.

"It's best not to tell anyone about what just happened before you advance to the fourth rank."

“When President Zhu came over before, I took the blame myself. If anyone asks, I’ll say I was testing the new card, and you’ll be the one who suffered an innocent disaster.”

As for the [Dark Stone], it was nominally Zhang Che's compensation to Pan Tingting.

The latter is, after all, Pan Yue's niece, so Zhang Che certainly couldn't remain silent. Only in this way could he confirm that the previous events were indeed unrelated to Pan Tingting.

In any case, compared to the crafting recipe for that fourth-tier domain card, a mere [Dark Stone] is nothing.

Consider this [Dark Stone] as just a small bonus for our cooperation; it's nothing major.

As for what kind of questioning Pan Tingting will face after returning home, and whether she will reveal what happened, that's beyond Zhang Che's control.

His reminder was nothing more than doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate; the rest was up to the Pan family.

Pan Tingting nodded obediently, indicating that she had remembered.

Twenty minutes later, the person sent by Pan Yue arrived on time. It was a middle-aged woman, probably a confidante of the Pan family.

She bowed respectfully to Zhang Che before carefully helping Pan Tingting into the car.

After seeing the girl off, Zhang Che took out a brand new card from his body. The card had a white background and purple alchemical patterns wrapped around it.

"Of course, I didn't come away empty-handed."

Card Name: Black Feather - Wings of Weapon (Dark)

Type: Summoning Card

Level: Tier 3

Grade: Purple

Skills: Blackwing Charge, Night Shadow Shot

Talent: Assault Penetration

Uniqueness: Homology

(Note: I heard you have very high defense?)

Strictly speaking, even though the [Wings of Weapon] that Zhang Che fused with had grown to its strongest state, its actual combat power was only about the same as a regular fourth-tier green card, far inferior to the fourth-tier blue card [Wings of Armor] that Pan Tingting briefly summoned.

This is quite similar to their prototypes—in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Weapon Wings is a six-star monster, while Armor Wings is a seven-star monster.

Unless they encounter opponents who are skilled in defense and have a unique expertise, the "Strong Assault Penetration" talent, which can temporarily boost combat power, is activated, then the two can not be compared in terms of combat power.

However, as a purple card, the biggest advantage of [Wings of Weapon] is its "uniqueness".

Zhang Che's gaze fell on the bottom line of text on the card—

The so-called "Synchronization" effect means that when a user binds this card, they can use the already summoned [Black Feather] card to Synchronize Summon [Wings of Weapon], in addition to the normal activation method of injecting spiritual power.

The [Wings of Weapon] summoned in this way does not consume any additional mental energy from the user. Even the mental energy required to maintain its existence is based on the cards used as Synchro materials.

At first glance, this uniqueness seems to have a rather ordinary effect, because if you use a Tier 3 [Black Feather] as material, the improvement doesn't seem to be as high as you might imagine.

The mental energy consumption of a Tier 3 purple card is generally about five times that of a Tier 3 blue card. And someone who can use two or three Tier 3 blue cards is likely also capable of directly using a Tier 3 purple card, so going through all this trouble is not very meaningful.

But don't forget, the Blackwing series also has Tier 2 cards.

They can also be used as materials for Synchro Summoning [Wings of Weapons], and you only need a minimum of three materials, and no more than five at most.

However, the difference in mental energy consumption between second-tier and third-tier cards of the same quality is more than tenfold.

In other words, under extreme circumstances, a second-tier superhuman with decent mental strength can even summon the third-tier purple card [Wings of Weapon], thus gaining combat power equivalent to that of an ordinary fourth-tier superhuman.

Under normal circumstances, even a card master, a transcendent profession that specializes in using cards, can at most use a green card one level higher than their own level. If they want to use a stronger blue card, they must pay an unbearable price.

Mental exhaustion and confusion are minor issues; the most serious cases can even cause permanent damage to the mental state.

Now, with the appearance of [Wings of Weapon], a second-tier card master or other extraordinary individuals with similar mental strength can wield a third-tier purple card with the equivalent of a fourth-tier combat power without paying too much of a price.

Or perhaps some third-tier superhumans with low mental strength, such as Fu Xing.

As a purebred warrior, that guy, after advancing to the third tier, under normal circumstances, couldn't even use a third-tier green card.

However, if he were to use three Tier 2 Blue Cards instead, he might be able to achieve it with a little effort.

Even with the restriction that only cards from the [Blackwing] series can be used for Synchro Summoning, once this news gets out, the line of people asking Zhang Che to make cards will probably stretch from Hezhou City to the capital, Tianyuan City.

Many powerful superhumans are not alone. They may not need these things themselves, but their close relatives who are not talented enough, or their outstanding juniors who have not yet grown up, are all potential users of [Wings of Weapon].

For example, Fu Xing, and Fu Xing's father.

Chapter 191 For Family

The thought of that scene is terrifying—a second or third-tier superhuman pulls out three [Black Feather] cards during battle, and a third-tier purple-quality summon appears on the battlefield.

The opponent will definitely be very "surprised" at that time, right?

They would probably think they were dreaming.

"Phew, I've really made something amazing..."

Zhang Che sighed briefly, then began to ponder the whereabouts of the [Wings of Weapon].

Now that he has advanced to the mid-level extraordinary realm, his need for third-tier purple cards is not as high as before.

Moreover, his mental strength doesn't allow him to have everything.

If there's a real need, a Tier 4 blue card would be more suitable for Zhang Che right now.

"Should we save it for my brother-in-law?"

Zhang Che thought of Ji Xingchuan, who had recently been going out of the city to fight with others.

Although he now has the [Harpie Lady] card, which almost doubles his combat power, Zhang Che has repeatedly advised him to stay in the city for the time being for his safety.

With me around, at least I can guarantee the safety of their whole family.

But Ji Xingchuan, Wang Xinran, and even Wang Guofu all refused Zhang Che's offer.

The reason is simple: Ji Xingchuan said that he is a grown man and the pillar of his family. How could he hide at home and do nothing when it comes to such a major event concerning the survival of the city?

While everyone else is fighting desperately outside the city, he, a grown man and a third-level superhuman, is actually hiding in the city and relying on his brother-in-law's protection to make a living. He can't bear the shame!

"Whether it's for Xinran and Tuantuan, or for my relatives and friends in the city, I have the responsibility and obligation to fight on the front line!" Ji Xingchuan said this with his back straight and his eyes as firm as a rock.

Wang Xinran stated that with Zhang Che's talent, it was impossible for him to stay in Hezhou City indefinitely, and they could not rely on him for their livelihood forever.

Zhang Che had his own path to walk, and Hezhou City was just a stop he occasionally passed through in his life.

Seeing his sister and brother-in-law's harmonious and loving relationship, Zhang Che knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless.

So he could only make a few suitable cards and give them to Ji Xingchuan, telling him to be careful.

However, Ji Xingchuan, as a wandering knight, has limited mental strength. After acquiring the Tier 3 blue card [Harpie Girl], he naturally doesn't have much room left for other cards.

The Ranger's mental strength is barely at a medium level among extraordinary professionals of the same rank. With a Tier 3 blue card already in hand, it's simply impossible to bring any more cards.

The [Wings of Weapon] solves this problem perfectly. With this fourth-tier combat power protecting him, Ji Xingchuan's safety will be guaranteed. At least Zhang Che won't have to worry about Wang Xinran and her son becoming orphans and widows anymore.

"It's settled then."

Zhang Che carefully put away the [Wings of Weapon], then took out a few second-tier [Black Feather] cards that he had made in his spare time over the past two days, organized them together, and prepared to hand them over to Ji Xingchuan when he returned.

……

a few days later.

Having completed a round of tasks, Ji Xingchuan returned home weary from his journey.

His clothes were covered in dust and dried blood, his hair was disheveled, and there were several new wounds on his face. He looked like he had just crawled down from the battlefield.

Clearly, Ji Xingchuan rushed home as soon as he left the battlefield, without even having time to tidy himself up.

Arriving home, Ji Xingchuan, who was exhausted, immediately put aside his battlefield emotions upon seeing the smiling faces of his wife and son, and enjoyed the family happiness that belonged to him.

When little Ji Xianheng saw his father return, he immediately broke free from Wang Xinran's arms, ran over with his short legs, and hugged Ji Xingchuan's leg tightly. He didn't mind getting dirty and mumbled "Daddy, Daddy" incoherently.

Ji Xingchuan bent down and picked up his son, not caring at all that the little guy's hands were covered in dust and he had left a dark handprint on his face.

They truly are father and son.

Wang Xinran stood to the side, watching this scene with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Hey, can you two be a little more mindful of the occasion? There are other people here!"

Zhang Che sat at the dining table, tapped the table with some dissatisfaction, and then swallowed a large mouthful of rice in a fit of rage.

Wang Guofu, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all, and just happily drank his wine.

The old man squinted, a satisfied smile on his face, watching his daughter's family enjoying themselves, and felt a deep sense of comfort in his old age.

At his age, what he wants most is the joy of family life. As for everything else, it doesn't matter.

"Even eating can't shut you up." Wang Xinran lightly spat at Zhang Che, her face flushed with a hint of embarrassment at being caught out, before quickly telling Ji Xingchuan to clean up the marks of battle on her body.

"Go wash up and change into clean clothes. I'll cook you some more food."

Ji Xingchuan responded and carried his son to the bathroom, where he would also give him a bath.

The little guy was lifted high by his dad, and he laughed happily, kicking his short legs in the air.

When the refreshed Ji Xingchuan arrived at the dinner table, Wang Xinran took the opportunity to prepare two more dishes that didn't take much time.

According to the original rotation plan, Ji Xingchuan should not have been home until tomorrow, but he returned early, so the food prepared was naturally not enough.
