Su Wanqing must have come to keep her company at the bedside. She was holding Liuwei in her arms. The little white fox was curled up in her arms, its six fluffy tails wrapped around itself into a ball, with only its squinting eyes showing.
It looks like they're keeping the little guy as a pet.
However, the Six-Tails' energy consumption is inherently low. With Su Wanqing's strength as a third-tier Card Master, the mental energy required to maintain its existence probably can't even keep up with her recovery speed.
After briefly greeting Su Wanqing, Zhang Che sat down on a chair next to Fu Xing's bed and looked him up and down: "Looks like you've recovered well, you still have the energy to be sarcastic."
"Of course." Fu Xing grinned, which aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to wince in pain. "It's just a minor injury; it'll be fine in a couple of days."
"Impressive, truly worthy of being our great hero." Zhang Che's tone carried a hint of teasing, which made Fu Xing laugh heartily, saying that he had become a hero too.
Although only a little over a day has passed, the news that the city guard squad, in cooperation with the students of Binhai University, defeated a large-scale murloc army led by fourth-tier murlocs has already begun to spread widely in the city under official control.
Zhang Che saw it on the news while he was on his way to the hospital.
Fu Xing got even more excited and was about to boast when Su Wanqing glared at him and stopped him.
At this moment, Yu Renjia shook his head, indicating that what was written in the news was far from the actual situation.
In the ensuing conversation, Zhang Che learned the specific details of the incident from the two parties involved, and discovered that the official report had been altered to some extent.
It can be said that the general situation is not far from the facts, but there are many tricks in the details.
For example, the official report did not mention Yu Renjia or the [Giant Shark Assault] card when the fourth-tier murloc was killed. Instead, it said that the city guards used some kind of supernatural item to eliminate it.
For example, Fu Xing's final display of divine power was also glossed over by the official account, and so on, at least several parts were changed.
"Why should we change it?" Zhang Che asked.
Yu Renjia glanced at him and explained in a low voice.
Simply put, the cards they used during the battle were too conspicuous, and once exposed, they could cause unnecessary trouble.
This brings us to the anti-human organizations hidden in the human world, which can be broadly categorized into three types:
First, there were extraordinary beings who came to this world from the rift. Some of them stayed on Earth and, after a long period of survival and reproduction, gradually formed their own organizations and forces.
Most of these guys have no affection for humans, but they won't actively provoke the strong. They mostly operate in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The second type is humans who are tempted and controlled by otherworldly forces or extraordinary beings. Some people are not mentally strong and choose to submit when faced with the temptation of powerful forces from other worlds, or their minds are controlled by extraordinary beings using their mental power, making them their puppets.
This type of person is not numerous, but they are extremely harmful.
Finally, and most despicably, are the "traitors" who spontaneously band together against humanity simply out of their worship of the extraordinary power within those rifts.
In a world like the one Zhang Che lived in his previous life, which had no supernatural powers, all sorts of strange beliefs and cults would arise. Not to mention this world, which possesses supernatural powers and is riddled with rifts.
According to records, those "traitors" existed since the birth of the rift, and their power reached its peak as the energy and rules of the other world invaded and the various technologies mastered by humans began to collapse.
It wasn't until later, when the human side gained the upper hand in supernatural powers due to their homeland advantage, that they were finally able to suppress them.
Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily; as long as there are people in this world who feel dissatisfied with their lives, there will always be people willing to become new "traitors." These things cannot be completely eliminated.
However, as a transmigrator from another world, Zhang Che, from an outsider's perspective, did see the existence of those traitors as having some "relatively positive" effects. At the very least, because of their existence and the irreparable damage they had caused, the superhumans on Earth did not dare to treat ordinary people who could not embark on the path of superhuman too harshly, so as not to give rise to too many people who would rather risk their lives to do something big.
"So," Yu Renjia concluded, "if those traitors find out about the cards Fu Xing and I used, it could really cause you a lot of trouble. The city guards changed the content of the report out of consideration for our safety."
Zhang Che nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then Yu Renjia changed the subject, saying that the higher-ups had not treated them unfairly. Although their achievements had been overshadowed, the city hall had granted them sufficient compensation, even more than they should have received originally.
Chapter 50 A New Goal: Purple Card!
Yu Renjia's compensation was a spiritual crystal, a rare and extraordinary creation that could raise the user's spiritual power limit, allowing him to become a third-tier extraordinary being more quickly. It was a rare item that could not be bought on the market.
Fu Xing's compensation was that after he recovered, he could choose any weapon from the city guard's armory.
Given the resources of the Binhai City Guard, if Fu Xing makes the right choice this time, he probably won't need to change his weapon until he becomes a fourth-tier superhuman.
"Hehe." Fu Xing got excited when he mentioned this. "I must choose a good sword, so that the Blade of Courage will be even more powerful."
Speaking of the Blade of Courage, Yu Renjia couldn't help but envy Fu Xing for being able to comprehend this skill in a desperate situation. It allowed him, a second-tier warrior, to quickly kill two third-tier mermen as if cutting melons and vegetables. Such combat power that transcends tiers would make anyone envious.
On this topic, the three briefly discussed the Blade of Courage, and wisely refrained from mentioning any possible connection between the skill and Agumon.
"Alright, alright, stop talking about me." Fu Xing waved his hand. "Zhang Che, how have you been lately? I heard you're already a Tier 3 Card Maker?"
"Yeah." Zhang Che nodded. "We were lucky."
“A third-tier card maker…” Fu Xing clicked his tongue. “Your advancement speed is even faster than those of us who fight and kill.”
Fu Xing got more and more excited as he talked, gesturing wildly, not at all like someone who had suffered a serious injury. Su Wanqing watched from the side with a frown for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak up: "Can you be quiet for a while? The doctor said you can't move around."
"I didn't move around, I was just talking." Fu Xing looked completely innocent.
Su Wanqing didn't say anything more, but Zhang Che noticed that her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Sister Qing, what's wrong?" Now it was Fu Xing's turn to be scared.
Su Wanqing didn't reply immediately. After calming herself down a bit, she spoke in a trembling voice, "I'm just a little scared. What if something had really happened to you back then..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present knew what she meant, and the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became somewhat silent.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in," Yu Renjia called out.
The door opened, and a woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked in. She was dressed in casual clothes, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and her face was clean and neat.
She was carrying a fruit basket and had an Eevee following at her feet, which led Zhang Che to guess her identity.
"It's so lively!" Zhu Yingqi subconsciously smoothed her hair and smiled.
"Sister Yingqi, you've come to see Xiaoyu again." Su Wanqing was the first to speak.
Although her eyes were still slightly red, her tone had returned to normal, and even carried a hint of teasing.
Zhu Yingqi naturally noticed Su Wanqing's unusual behavior, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she walked confidently to Yu Renjia's bedside, placed the fruit basket on the bedside table, and then smiled and replied, "Yu Renjia is my savior. Isn't it only right that I come to see him often?"
She then added, "And I'm here on behalf of Brother Zhao and the others. If it weren't for Yu's timely intervention, none of us would probably have survived."
Zhu Yingqi spoke these words with a very serious tone, without the slightest hint of politeness.
Yu Renjia could only grin foolishly at this, which made Fu Xing on the opposite bed roll his eyes.
This topic didn't last long, as Zhu Yingqi quickly shifted her attention to Zhang Che, who was standing to the side.
"This must be Mr. Zhang Che, right?" She walked up to Zhang Che and extended her hand.
“It’s me.” Zhang Che stood up and shook hands with her politely.
After a brief self-introduction, Zhu Yingqi continued, "Did you make the cards used by Yu Renjia and Fu Xing?"
Zhang Che nodded: "Yes."
"Impressive skills," Zhu Yingqi exclaimed sincerely, without asking any further questions.
Zhang Che glanced deliberately at the Eevee at her feet and asked, "How's this card going?"
“Great, I like it very much.” Zhu Yingqi replied as she bent down and picked up Eevee.
The little guy nuzzled against Zhu Yingqi's chest affectionately, making "bu-i-bu-i" sounds, his eyes narrowed into slits, looking extremely happy.
Seeing the close interaction between the two, Zhang Che was reminded of the topic of evolution, so he repeated what he had said to Yu Renjia before, indicating that Eevee could gain even greater power in the future...
“No need.” Zhu Yingqi interrupted him, her tone gentle but firm. “Eevee only needs to be cute. I can handle the fighting myself.”
As the owner of this card, Zhu Yingqi knew all too well that the seemingly cute and harmless little guy in her arms actually possessed combat power at the upper level of the second tier.
Zhang Che glanced at her but didn't say anything more.
The group started chatting again. Although Zhu Yingqi was an officer in the city guard, he was very easygoing and had no airs. Although Su Wanqing had a cold personality, she became unusually warmer when facing someone as decisive as Zhu Yingqi.
Yu Renjia didn't talk much, but when he did, he always got to the point. Fu Xing wanted to say more, but every time he opened his mouth, Su Wanqing would glare at him and he could only lie there and listen obediently.
The five gradually became acquainted, and their conversations became more and more casual. Zhang Che took the opportunity to approach Su Wanqing.
"Miss Su, I'd like to ask you something."
Su Wanqing looked up at him and said, "Please speak."
“I’m already a Tier 3 card maker,” Zhang Che carefully chose his words. “I probably won’t be able to advance to Tier 4 anytime soon, so I’d like to try making purple cards. Do you or your mentor have any useful information or suitable blue card recipes? I can offer a high price to trade for them.”
Su Wanqing remained silent for a moment.
"Purple Card?" Her gaze towards Zhang Che became somewhat subtle. "Are you sure?"
"determine."
Unfortunately, while the existence of purple and orange cards is generally accepted, the specific information about these two card qualities is not something that ordinary people can obtain.
That's very advanced knowledge; even within an organization like the Adventurers' Guild, it would be considered core-level information.
If someone like Zhang Che, who relies on unorthodox methods, wants to achieve something, he will definitely have to pay a considerable price.
Although he had previously successfully created purple cards, Zhang Che knew very well that it was only with the help of fusion abilities.
Moreover, that card only lasted for less than a minute from its creation to its destruction, so strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a successful card creation.
More importantly, if someone with no lineage or background were to rashly produce a purple card without any preparation, what awaited him was likely not immense wealth, but endless trouble.
After all, the last person to create a purple card on their own was a human being known as the "God-level Card Maker," a pinnacle of human achievement.
Chapter 51 What is a Purple Card?
When the topic of purple cards came up, everyone present except Su Wanqing was actually quite curious.
As mentioned earlier, the information about purple and orange cards is very advanced knowledge that most people simply cannot access.
Even Zhu Yingqi, who held the highest position among the people present, was unaware of the intricacies of the matter because her profession had little to do with card making.
As for Yu Renjia and Fu Xing, needless to say, although they often use cards, their understanding of the card maker profession is limited to "superhumans who can make cards".
The reason Su Wanqing knew these things was mainly because she had a fourth-level card maker as her teacher.
Seeing the gazes of the others fixed on her, Su Wanqing sighed before speaking, saying that she did know some information about purple cards, but because she was not a card maker, she didn't know much.
Then she picked up her cup and took a sip of water, as if organizing her thoughts.
After a brief introduction, Su Wanqing turned to Zhang Che and asked, "You're a card maker, what do you think is the biggest difference between blue cards and purple cards?"
Zhang Che thought about it seriously for a moment, but in the end he could only shake his head.
After all, something like a purple card was something that Zhang Che and his apprentice could never have accessed before. The only knowledge they had about it came from the occasional news broadcast on television.
