Who said this card is outrageous?

He only knew that purple cards were very powerful and most of them possessed abilities that surpassed those of other cards of the same rank, but he knew nothing about how those cards achieved this or what the forms of their abilities were.

If even Zhang Che, a card maker, had this understanding, then the other three must have thought the same way.

Of course, this result was not unexpected for Su Wanqing. After all, if she didn't have a good teacher and a good family background, it wouldn't be easy for her to come into contact with purple-quality cards.

“My mentor is a fourth-tier card maker,” Su Wanqing formally began the topic. “But even she can only make first-tier and second-tier purple cards at most, and the success rate isn’t very high. As for third-tier or even fourth-tier purple cards, forget about it.”

Fu Xing, who was listening from the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. He thought to himself, if even that powerful fourth-tier card maker could only make first and second-tier purple cards, then what kind of person could make third and fourth-tier purple cards?

"What about the orange card?" Fu Xing glanced at Zhang Che, then turned and asked deliberately.

Then he received a big eye roll from his girlfriend.

He could only chuckle twice in response, trying to get away with it.

However, Su Wanqing still answered the question, saying that orange cards, as the highest masterpiece that card makers can create, are simply beyond the reach of ordinary card makers.

“My mentor mentioned this once to me and my senior brothers and sisters.” Su Wanqing’s tone became serious. “She looked very serious at the time and said that before we have the ability to make purple cards of the same rank, we shouldn’t be too ambitious about orange cards.”

As she said these words, Su Wanqing couldn't help but recall the expression on her mentor's face when he said them, which showed great disappointment.

A fourth-tier card maker can't even guarantee the success rate of creating a second-tier purple card, let alone an unattainable orange card.

That feeling of wanting to do something but being powerless is something that only those who have actually been in that position can truly understand.

"So, what exactly is the Purple Card?" Zhang Che couldn't help but ask.

Su Wanqing immediately said that she would get to that point right away.

“First of all, you need to understand one concept.” Su Wanqing held up a finger. “Although people say that purple cards have combat power that surpasses that of other cards of the same rank, in fact, when they were first created, most purple cards were only slightly stronger than blue cards of the same rank.”

The reason why purple cards can become so powerful is mainly because they have growth potential.

"Growth potential?!" Fu Xing and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, while only Zhang Che, the card maker, could barely grasp the meaning.

“That’s right, it’s about growth potential.” Su Wanqing said, lifting up the six-tailed fox in her arms, seemingly wanting to use it as an example.

“Normally, once cards of white, green, and blue quality are created, all their abilities are fixed. Like the Six-Tails, barring very rare exceptions, it will only have two skills: [Fine Snow] and [Frozen Wind]. The effect of the [Snowfall] talent also has a fixed upper limit, which will not exceed its own card level.”

The six-tailed fox, which was lifted up, remained obedient and seemed to have no objection to its master using it as an example.

“But purple cards are different.” Then Su Wanqing changed the subject, “Purple cards can become stronger through continuous use. If the Six-Tails is a purple card, it can learn more skills through continuous battles in the future, and the effects of its talent can also be improved.”

"Not to mention that you can accumulate combat experience through battle after battle. Only through such accumulation can the purple card transform into what the public recognizes."

After Su Wanqing finished speaking, the people present fell into a long silence, clearly needing some time to digest this bombshell news.

Su Wanqing naturally knew this, but she simply hugged Liuwei back into her arms and waited quietly.

To be honest, although these messages sound important, they actually contain no real information, which is why Su Wanqing spoke so frankly and directly without worrying about leaks.

Of course, another reason was that Su Wanqing was worried that Zhang Che, in his eagerness to obtain information about the purple card, might be misled by unscrupulous individuals using this worthless information. After all, she was still planning to introduce him to her mentor.

……

Alchemy tools with self-growth capabilities are incredible to even think about.

Cards have been defined as "consumables" since their inception; everything about them is reproducible and replaceable.

But now Su Wanqing tells them that the Purple Card has broken this rule.

Master Lu Ming, who is capable of creating cards of this caliber, truly deserves the title of "Godlike Card Maker".

Given such achievements, it's not hard to understand why he was eventually promoted to a higher rank.

"That's not right," Yu Renjia suddenly asked, "I remember that once a card summon dies, summoning it again resets all its stats. Wouldn't all the accumulated experience and newly acquired abilities just disappear then?"

He had barely finished speaking when he received a big eye roll from Zhu Yingqi by the bedside.

Su Wanqing didn't mind, and patiently explained: "It's very simple. If it's a purple quality card, even if its summoned creature dies due to external force, it will only be slightly weakened for a period of time. Its status will not be refreshed like the first three quality cards."

Chapter 52 The Power of Courage (Please read on!)

"hiss--"

Yu Renjia gasped in shock: "So, does that mean the Purple Card is essentially a real life form?"

“It’s not that simple.” Su Wanqing shook her head. “My mentor said that although purple cards have some characteristics of life forms, they are still far from being true life forms. Even orange cards, which are of higher quality, cannot achieve this.”

Hearing this, the people present finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, creating life through alchemy was still too terrifying.

Fortunately, while purple and orange cards are strong, they are not quite that strong.

At this point, Su Wanqing had told almost all the information she knew about the Purple Card; she really didn't know anything more.

Ultimately, she's just a card master; for more information about purple cards, you'll have to ask her mentor.

The people present all tacitly avoided mentioning the orange card.

The information about the purple card is so well protected that even if we asked Su Wanqing about the orange card now, she probably wouldn't know much.

"So are you sure you still want to buy the information on the Purple Card?" Su Wanqing turned to look at Zhang Che.

What she said just now was actually meant to make Zhang Che temporarily give up this idea.

Because purple cards aren't something you can just get by with talent alone. Zhang Che is only at Tier 3 now, and he can't even make many Tier 3 blue cards. If he rashly tries to get purple cards, he'll most likely end up with a bloody head.

"I still want to give it a try." Zhang Che ultimately did not give up.

"Alright then, I'll ask around for you when I get back." Su Wanqing finally nodded. "But I can't guarantee whether my advisor will agree."

"Thank you, Senior Su."

"Don't thank me too soon." Su Wanqing's tone was very calm. "Even if the teacher agrees, the price for these materials will probably be very high. If you can't offer her something that will interest her, she probably won't even want to see you."

Zhang Che nodded, indicating that he understood.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Yingqi checked the time and got up to say goodbye.

"I have to go back, there's still a lot to do with the team." She put Eevee on the ground, and the little guy immediately ran to Zhang Che's feet and rubbed against them before running back to Zhu Yingqi.

"Ibrahimovic, let's go."

"Buyi~"

Zhu Yingqi waved to the group, turned and left the ward. Eevee followed behind her with its short legs, bouncing along, its tail held high, looking like it was in a good mood.

The ward fell silent again.

Su Wanqing placed Liuwei by Fu Xing's bedside, got up to pour water, while Yu Renjia leaned against the headboard with his eyes closed to rest.

Fu Xing waited a while, and after confirming that only the three of them were left in the room, she quickly called Zhang Che over and whispered, "Zhang Che, actually, I asked Yu Renjia to call you over this time."

Hearing this, Zhang Che understood somewhat, and then asked for the reason.

Normally, there's no need for Fu Xing to tell anyone about his injury, but he simply couldn't help it and had to do so.

Fu Xing continued to lower his voice, his expression unusually serious.

He glanced at the doorway first, and only after confirming that Su Wanqing hadn't returned did he continue.

"It's about the Agumon card."

Zhang Che frowned slightly.

“I did hear Agumon’s voice before I mastered the Blade of Courage.” Fu Xing said this in a very low voice, so low that only Zhang Che and Yu Renjia could hear it. “It said to me, ‘Ah Xing, summon your courage.’ Then it felt like something inside me was ignited, and that power surged up.”

Fu Xing paused, then added, "Moreover, Agumon's talent is called 'Mark of Courage,' which makes it hard for me not to connect the two."

Zhang Che remained silent for a moment, then looked at Yu Renjia.

Yu Renjia nodded: "He only told me about this, and I was the one who advised him not to make a fuss about it."

He was also someone who knew the secret that Agumon could speak human language, so Fu Xing had no reason to hide it from him.

Yu Renjia's reasoning was simple: if a skill like Blade of Courage, which is powerful enough to fight enemies of a higher level, was just something that someone accidentally discovered, then it was nothing special.

After all, since humans began to master supernatural powers hundreds of years ago, there have been countless similar examples. If you really want to count them, someone like Fu Xing doesn't even rank.

However, if the Blade of Courage is a skill that can be copied through some means, then its meaning is quite different.

Putting everything else aside, Zhang Che and Fu Xing's days ahead are definitely not going to be peaceful.

In terms of value alone, it is no less than a purple skill card.

Even if the process of understanding it is difficult, something that can be possessed permanently once mastered will inevitably attract the attention of countless people.

In short, it's best to be cautious.

"You did the right thing." Zhang Che acknowledged Fu Xing's approach.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue to reveal some information to Fu Xing: "Agumon does indeed possess immense power, and the only condition to unleash this power is courage."

"Courage?" Fu Xing was taken aback.

“Yes, it’s courage.” Zhang Che looked at him. “Only those with courage can wield the power of Agumon.”

Fu Xing scratched his head, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"So you can try using the power of the Blade of Courage more often in the future. Agumon might bring you even greater surprises then," Zhang Che concluded with the above advice.

Fu Xing nodded solemnly, seemingly having taken Zhang Che's words to heart.

Yu Renjia listened from the side, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. He felt that this made [Agumon] look a bit like a purple card.

He looked at Zhang Che, opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to say it. In the end, he could only keep his words to himself and ask later when he had the chance.

Not long after, Su Wanqing returned with a kettle. She glanced at the expressions of the three people and keenly sensed that something was amiss, but she didn't ask any questions. She simply placed the kettle next to the bedside table and sat back down on Fu Xing's bed.

At this moment, Zhang Che stood up and said goodbye to them: "Then I'll be leaving first. Take good care of your injuries."

"Take care on your journey." Fu Xing waved his uninjured hand at him.

Zhang Che turned and left the ward, walked through the corridor, took the elevator down, and walked out of the hospital gate.

The sunlight outside was a bit too bright, so he squinted for a while before taking out his phone to check the time.

It's almost 10 o'clock.

He thought about it and decided that since he was already out, he should go to the Adventurers' Guild again to see if he could get some information about purple cards from there.

Since this matter is of great importance, he still needs to make preparations for both possibilities, and at that time, he can also verify the information from both sides.
