Who said this card is outrageous?

The original users of the cards were a class specializing in mental power, known as Card Masters. Therefore, the underlying structure was biased towards this type of class, such as mages and priests.

While physical damage dealers can also use it, the quality and quantity of cards they can activate will definitely be lower at the same level.

"Cut~~"

Fu Xing, who was being rebuked, was speechless. After all, Yu Renjia was just stating the truth—he could only use a maximum of two blue-quality cards like these in a short period of time, even if they were one level lower than his own. Any more than that would give him a headache.

Moreover, they couldn't continue arguing in front of outsiders, so after discussion, they jointly bought three cards from Zhang Che for 30,000 Star Coins—two Mage cards and one Warrior card.

Incidentally, the mage owed the warrior a meal.

However, the transaction was not the end. After the two put away their cards, they approached Zhang Che to ask if he had any other blue cards for sale.

It's just a matter of saying one more word; they don't lose anything. If the other party actually has it, they'll be the ones who profit.

"Of course there are more, but I don't have them with me." Zhang Che gave a direct affirmative answer. "If you still want to buy more, come back to this card shop in a few days. Uncle Wang can contact me then."

"Okay, we'll wait for you then." The two quickly agreed, then said goodbye and left, preparing to find a place to test the power of their newly purchased cards.

That was just a simple test in the store; it didn't really show the actual strength of those three cards.

Meanwhile, inside the store, Wang Guofu looked at Zhang Che in front of him and felt a little unfamiliar with him.

He knew his old partner's capabilities all too well; selling once was understandable, but if there were more to come...

"Hey Zhang Che, were those cards left behind by your master?"

"No, I did it all myself."

"hiss--"

Chapter 3 I Want to Check the Cards

"Murloc A, how about we go outside the city later and try out the new cards you just bought with your own kind?"

Fu Xing suggested this to Yu Renjia with great interest, but the next second the other party reacted as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly raising his voice: "Get lost! You're the fishman, your whole family are fishmen!"

Yu Renjia was also desperate. He was born in an inland city to ordinary parents who never considered the "fishman" aspect when naming him. As a result, after entering university, he somehow acquired the nickname "Fishman A," a nickname he could never shake off.

Fu Xing laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Just kidding, just kidding, so easily amused? Come on, let's go to the beach and try out these cards!"

Yu Renjia rolled his eyes and didn't argue anymore, but his pace quickened unconsciously, clearly he couldn't hold back any longer.

He had only caught a fleeting glimpse of the three blue cards in the store, but he did want to see their true power.

The two bickered and argued all the way, and soon left the city. They showed their extraordinary credentials, got into a special car, and arrived at the Acropolis near the sea.

The city walls weren't very high, but they bore obvious signs of defense, and occasionally you could see deep scratches from claws—marks left by otherworldly creatures that rushed out of the rifts and attacked the city.

In short, a rift is a passageway from another dimension into reality, and the space it connects to is inhabited by many extraordinary beings that do not belong to the main dimension of Earth.

Fish-men are among the most common otherworldly creatures in the ocean.

Centuries ago, countless other dimensions opened entrances to Earth in an attempt to invade, but fortunately, the fighting power of humanity in this world was not to be underestimated. At the beginning, they firmly stabilized the situation by virtue of their technological advantage.

However, with the intrusion of energy and rules from numerous other dimensions, the original environment and rules of Earth have changed, causing many modern weapons to lose their original power, and the balance of the war has gradually begun to tilt.

However, humanity wasn't idle during those years either. They continued researching various supernatural powers and achieved remarkable results. In the end, not only were they not defeated by the enemy, but they also gradually gained control of the battle due to their home-field advantage, a situation they maintain to this day.

……

After leaving the Acropolis, the two walked southeast for about half an hour. The salty sea breeze hit them, and the scenery gradually opened up, revealing a gray-blue coastline.

Some rocks are scattered along the shore, and on the mudflats left by the receding tide, you can see a few shells and small fish and shrimp. The air is filled with a damp smell.

This is the famous "Mermaid Beach" in the coastal city. It is near a small fissure that never closes, and fishmen occasionally emerge from it and gather in this area.

Most of these fishmen are at the first or second tier, with a very small chance of being at the third tier. Therefore, they are left to be used as practice tools by lower-tier superhumans.

Reaching the edge of the mudflats, Fu Xing's eyes lit up as he saw several gray-green figures flashing behind the distant reefs: "We've got something! That saves us the trouble of searching."

He counted about a dozen fishmen, all hunched over, searching for something on the rocks, seemingly without any wariness.

“Murlocs aren’t very bright, they’re perfect as targets.” Fu Xing stopped Yu Renjia, who was eager to try, “I’ll test the quality of these blue cards first.”

Yu Renjia rolled his eyes and retreated to the side helplessly.

Fu Xing took a deep breath and slowly channeled his mental energy into the card in his hand.

"Come forth, Skeleton Archer!"

A pale blue light flashed, and a bow-wielding skeleton, reaching Fu Xing's chest in height and with unusually strong arm bones, appeared before him.

But the most eye-catching item was the large bone bow that occasionally flashed with lightning.

"He's definitely much stronger than that green card skeleton archer," Fu Xing muttered to himself, then with a thought, "Target: the murloc ahead, fire!"

Lei Gong moved swiftly, nocking the arrow and drawing the bow almost the instant the command was given. Then, at the moment the bone arrow left the bowstring, a blue arc of electricity coiled upwards, drawing a bright trajectory in the air.

Two hundred meters is the limit for a skeleton archer; the accuracy and power of their arrows would be greatly reduced. But this lightning archer accurately drove a bone arrow into the chest of a merman.

Immediately after the bone arrow struck, an electric arc erupted!

The fishman who was shot shuddered and let out a sharp screech, his body covered in fine crackling electricity.

Subsequently, several nearby murlocs were also affected by the electric arc, which gradually spread. The murlocs within the affected area were all electrocuted and their movements became noticeably sluggish.

"Damn, that's a great range!" Fu Xing's eyes widened, but he quickly realized that it wasn't thanks to the Thunder Bow, but because the merman had water on him, which doubled the conductivity!

Before the fishmen could recover, the Thunder Archer had already nocked another arrow and fired one after another bone arrows crackling with electricity, hitting their targets precisely.

The paralyzed murloc couldn't even dodge and could only watch helplessly as the bone arrow pierced his body.

In less than half a minute, all of the dozen or so murlocs lay motionless on the reef—seven or eight of them were shot to death directly, while the rest died from the cumulative damage of the electric current.

At this point, Fu Xing discovered another advantage of the [Skeleton Archer]. As a summon card of the undead type, it is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in life force. Once the opponent is completely wiped out, it will not launch another attack, saving unnecessary arrow consumption.

This indirectly increases its combat time each time it is summoned.

They've made a fortune!

After the battle ended, Yu Renjia walked over and kicked the merman corpse on the ground, remarking, "This lightning archer is pretty good. It has high output and control, making it a very cost-effective first-tier card."

As he spoke, he pulled out his two cards, indicating that it was now his turn to perform.

But before he could inject his spiritual power, Fu Xing stopped him with a hand: "Old Yu, do you believe me?"

"Huh?" Yu Renjia was taken aback: "What are you talking about? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

However, Fu Xing did not explain, but only asked him to lend him the other two cards first.

“But your mental strength isn’t enough to control three blue cards, is it?” Yu Renjia was a little worried, but seeing his friend’s unquestionable gaze, he still handed over the two cards in his hand. “Take it one at a time, don’t push yourself.”

Fu Xing took the cards, took a deep breath, closed his eyes to adjust himself, and then injected his mental energy into the two cards one by one.

Pale blue lights flashed one after another, and two newly appeared [Skeleton Archers] stood side by side with the original one, their bone bows wreathed in flames and poison respectively.

Its presence was much stronger than when it was alone.

Yu Renjia, who was standing next to him this week, stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth, looking extremely shocked.

There is no problem with Chapter 4.

"No, you...you can really summon them?"

Fu Xing grinned, a hint of smugness on his face: "Not only can we summon them, but we can also command them to fight."

"Alright!"

With a thought, the three skeleton archers immediately sprang into action: the lightning archer fired an arc arrow, hitting a distant reef and spreading the arc of electricity; the poison archer followed closely behind, its bone arrow, moving at a significantly faster speed and carrying dark green venom, landing precisely in the crevices of the reef, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound; finally, the fire archer fired a flaming arrow, which exploded with a "bang" upon impact, scorching and cracking the surface of the reef.

The teamwork was seamless; the three skeleton archers moved in perfect unison, without any lag despite the fact that the pilot was a warrior.

Soon, the three Skeleton Archers had fired all their arrows, but Fu Xing only looked a little tired, showing no signs of exhaustion as he usually did after using two blue cards.

"How about that?" Fu Xing looked at the dumbfounded Yu Renjia and raised his eyebrows smugly.

It took Yu Renjia a while to come to his senses. He swallowed hard and asked, "When did your mental strength become so strong?"

“It’s not that I have strong mental power.” Fu Xing shook his head and picked up the three blue cards. “It’s that there’s something wrong with these cards.”

As he spoke, he took out the green [Skeleton Archer] card he had bought at the beginning, and summoned it by infusing it with his mental energy: "With this green card added, I feel like I can't hold on any longer."

"The mental energy consumed by using these blue cards is significantly less than that of ordinary blue cards."

"You mean..." Yu Renjia also became excited.

If a warrior like Fu Xing can use three blue cards at once, wouldn't he be even more invincible as a mage?

Thinking of this, he even had the urge to switch to the Card Master class.

However, this impulse was quickly extinguished. After all, they only had these three blue-quality summon cards, and they were all Tier 1. It wasn't worth giving up the promising mage class for them.

"No, we have to try again." Yu Renjia snatched the three blue cards, deactivated the summoning, and re-infused them with spiritual power to replenish their arrows.

The three Skeleton Archers reappeared and moved and fired under Renjia's command, even performing some simple evasive maneuvers, making the entire sequence incredibly smooth.

Compared to Fu Xing, Yu Renjia, a mage, has a significantly more refined control over his mental energy.

Moreover, as a mage, he is more sensitive to the depletion of his mental energy, so Fu Xing was indeed not lying.

"Holy crap, if this card were mass-produced, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout Binhai City!" Yu Renjia couldn't help but swear. "Just who is that card maker?"

"Who cares what his background is?" Fu Xing rubbed his hands together. "As long as he can keep making these cards, we'll keep buying them. Let's move forward a bit, find some powerful Murlocs, and test the limits of these cards."

The two were in high spirits and, with the four skeletons, headed deeper into the coastline.

There are more murlocs there, and you might even encounter second-tier ones occasionally, which is a good opportunity to test the limits of these cards.

……

In the card shop on the other side, Zhang Che looked at Wang Guofu and slowly recounted his slightly modified story.

He spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary: "Actually, four years ago, when I first awakened my spiritual power, I was already able to make cards independently."

Wang Guofu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Four years ago? How old were you then? That's impossible, Lao Cheng never mentioned it to me."

“It’s what my master forbade me to say.” Zhang Che lowered his head, his tone tinged with nostalgia. “My master said my talent was too conspicuous, and I was too young at the time, so I was easily targeted.”

"So I need to lay a solid foundation and pass the first-level card maker assessment before I can slowly reveal my talent. It would be safer to find a powerful force to rely on then."

He looked up, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "You know my master's situation. He suffered because of a weak foundation in his studies. That's why he's very strict with me. He insists that I spend a few more years building a solid foundation."

These words were half true and half false. In reality, the original owner's card-making talent was average, and of course, Zhang Che himself was not much better. It was mainly the superposition of the spiritual power of his two lifetimes that allowed him to stably make first-tier green cards.
