Who said this card is outrageous?

If it were possible to completely replicate a person's mental imprint, it would be equivalent to digging up the roots of the card maker!

If things go wrong, Zhang Wenhe, the instigator, will become the public enemy of all card makers and those who benefit from this system.

Even with the support of the university alliance, they can't protect him at all!

Chapter 198 The Birth of a New Card

Cards have had a strict ownership system since their inception.

Compared to alchemists who love to share their creations, card makers place great emphasis on card ownership from the ground up.

When the old man named "Card Master" set up the underlying logic, he had already completely eliminated the possibility of cards being used by others after being linked in spirit.

Even if a person dies, the card still cannot be used by others and will only become a useless piece of junk.

This was a crucial foundation upon which the card maker industry was able to rise within the already mature alchemy system – the cards you painstakingly create will not be stolen by others; the cards you buy at great expense will not be taken away by others.

This ownership system safeguards the healthy development of the entire industry.

Zhang Wenhe's actions, to put it bluntly, were a provocation against all card makers!

Including that legendary card maker who is still alive!

"Dean Zhang, there probably aren't many people who know about this, right?"

Zhang Che stared intently at Zhang Wenhe. His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was heavy.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhe immediately gave a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang Che sees things clearly. This matter is indeed something that cannot be brought to light. Currently, besides you, only a few people, including myself and Lao Pan, know about it."

Zhang Che didn't speak, his fingers tapping lightly on the coffee table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

"Aren't you afraid I'll report you?" He pointed at the items on the coffee table and smiled with a hint of malice.

The atmosphere in the living room froze for a moment.

Pan Yue's body stiffened visibly, and the smile on his lips froze on his face. He looked at Zhang Che, then at Zhang Wenhe, his lips moved, but he ultimately didn't say anything.

Zhang Wenhe remained silent for a moment.

“Mr. Zhang Che is joking.” His voice regained its calm. “If you really wanted to report it, you wouldn’t have said it out loud.”

He picked up the small silver prop from the coffee table and twirled it in his hand.

"Furthermore, I won't actually go against the grain. I've already patched this thing." He pointed to a section of the runes inside the item. "I referenced the card maker's mental link principle to ensure that this alchemical item can only be used by those who have performed the link."

"In other words, once this thing is in your hands, only you can use it. Even if someone else picks it up, it's just a piece of scrap metal."

This completely eliminates the risk of the item falling into the hands of others, especially enemies.

Zhang Che finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If that's the case, then it's barely acceptable.

Moreover, putting aside the drawbacks, if the prop developed by Zhang Wenhe can be popularized, the benefits will indeed outweigh the drawbacks.

"In that case, I'll shamelessly accept this gift."

Zhang Che reached out and took the small silver prop, feeling its warmth in his hand.

In return, after a moment's thought, he took out some card recipes of decent quality and handed them to Zhang Wenhe.

These recipes are of a higher quality than the previous batch. Some of them are versions that he himself tried to improve in his spare time after advancing to the fourth rank, and they are even better than the original versions.

Incidentally, he also promised the other party that he could make a Tier 4 card for him if needed.

These are all the things he can offer for trade right now; anything more would be too much for someone who has just been promoted to a mid-level transcendent.

Overall, the transaction was a success for both parties.

The only thing that disappointed Zhang Wenhe was that even though he had been so sincere, he still couldn't get the card recipes that Zhang Che wanted.

Actually, this can't be blamed on Zhang Che. The main reason is that most of the good cards he made were fused together, and even he himself didn't know the recipe.

……

The arrival of Zhang Wenhe and his fresh troops has greatly boosted the morale of Hezhou City, and more importantly, it has significantly enhanced its combat capabilities.

Those who were brought by Zhang Wenhe to build the school, apart from the dedicated logistics personnel, were basically all extraordinary individuals with considerable strength.

The most numerous of them were alchemists.

Then, with the formal addition of various alchemical tools to the battlefield, the combat strength of Hezhou City increased significantly, and they were able to begin to suppress the harpies.

The battle line was once pushed back to a position 50 kilometers away from the Acropolis.

In the end, it was only when those fourth-tier harpies couldn't stand it anymore and led a group of third-tier bird-like extraordinary creatures that appeared out of nowhere to join the battle that the situation was barely stabilized.

The two sides resumed fighting, trading blows back and forth, with neither daring to make any rash moves.

On the other hand, the humans, now free to spare some resources, can also dedicate some of their forces to teach those undead creatures that are causing trouble everywhere a lesson.

I haven't had time to deal with them before, so the undead creatures often take advantage of the situation, sneaking around and causing trouble while humans and harpies are locked in a fierce battle.

These guys can't be allowed to continue their recklessness any longer!

The city guards specially dispatched a team, with Angie personally in charge, to thoroughly clear out the newly emerging undead creatures around the Dead Zone Rift.

During this time, a fourth-tier plague zombie appeared, attempting to change the situation by spreading the plague. However, before it could display its full power, it was sealed off by Angie's [Six-Pointed Star Curse] and ultimately killed by being kited from a distance.

Despite being afflicted by a terrifying plague, he achieved nothing.

This further boosted their morale.

The situation is excellent!

The people of Hezhou seemed to have already foreseen the scene when the war would end.

……

On Zhang Che's side, after almost exhausting all the materials of two Harpy Commanders, he finally made the card he wanted.

In the card-making room, Zhang Che stared at the newly crafted card on the table and let out a long breath.

On the card, a larger, red-haired harpy woman clad in metal armor spreads her wings, exuding an imposing aura.

Her hands and feet were covered in golden armor, making her claws appear even sharper. The armor covered her chest, abdomen, and limbs, leaving room for movement only at the joints, ensuring both defense and flexibility.

Just by looking at its design, you can tell it's definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Card Name: Harpy - Armor (Wind)

Type: Summoning Card

Level: Tier 4

Grade: Blue

Skills: Claw Shattering, Feather Blizzard, Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Clone

Talent: Exile

(Note: The beautiful older sister is wearing armor, so her attacks hurt even more.)

This is a summoning card that Zhang Che obtained after advancing to the fourth rank.

As the most valuable summon card, its combat power is theoretically even stronger than that of the [Black Rhino Armor].

In terms of skills, "Claw Shatter" is a common attack move in this series of cards, focusing on high damage.

The previous [Harpie Girl] already had this skill, which was quite powerful and could inflict considerable damage on enemies of the same level.

Chapter 199 Someone's raiding our base!

"Feather Blizzard" is a disruptive skill. It doesn't deal much damage, but it can temporarily prevent the attacked enemy from using supernatural abilities.

Unfortunately, it cannot completely seal the target's extraordinary power like the [Chain of the Demon Race], it simply makes it "unusable", and the duration of the effect is also limited.

After all, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

As for the last skill, "Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Clone", as the name suggests, it can create two clones that are slightly weaker than the original body to fight together.

The two clones theoretically possess independent combat will and do not require the main body to expend extra energy to control them.

Moreover, it can be resummoned after it dies, somewhat similar to a card summon.

This is quite a good skill. Although the clone's strength is only at the level of a fourth-tier green card, with two clones and the main body, it's a three-on-one situation. Even if the opponent is stronger, they can't withstand the sheer number of people.

In terms of talents, [Harpie Girl - Armor] has a talent called "Exile", which can banish enemies to a certain distance. This is useful when fighting multiple enemies at once to temporarily kick some of them off the battlefield; or when facing a powerful enemy, banish its minions to create a situation where your side has more enemies than yours.

Although it cannot truly eliminate the enemy, it can change the course of the battlefield at crucial moments.

Overall, it's pretty good.

Zhang Che carefully put away the cards, feeling that all his hard work these past few days had paid off.

Then there's the domain card situation; there's been considerable progress in the last few days as well.

Although he still hadn't created the actual domain card, Zhang Che unexpectedly managed to create a few interesting new cards with the help of the anchor point trait.

Although it's called a new card, it's actually more like a "subset" or "simplified version" of the domain card. It can change the environmental rules within a certain area, but the scope is smaller and the effect is more limited.

He then used these cards as materials to create a skill card that was similar to, but not quite the same as, a domain card.

Card Name: Praying for Rain (Water)

Type: Skill Card

Level: Tier 4

Grade: Blue

Effect: Creates rainfall within a certain area for a certain period of time, strengthens water-attribute extraordinary power, and weakens fire-attribute extraordinary power.

(Note: It's raining, time to bring in the laundry!)

Zhang Che had only one thought about this card: simple yet powerful.

It's safe to say that this card is indeed derived from the Domain Card series; its effects have captured some of the essence of the Domain Card series.

Furthermore, this card can be combined with its own [Black Rhino Armor] – as the embodiment of water among the five elements of armor, its various attributes will be greatly enhanced in rainy weather, and its combat power can be directly boosted to a higher level.

In an instant, Zhang Che felt that he had never been so strong before, and he was no longer afraid of anything!
