Chapter 125 Slapping the Face of the Card World Thief 1
Without giving Leng Yuexing much time to think, he could only rely on his intuition to choose the flying fish card next to him.
The moment he reached out and took the card into his palm, the card depicting the ferocious beast vanished from Leng Yuexing's sight.
Leng Yuexing picked up Feiyu's card and examined it closely. It was a golden card, palm-sized, and had a rather hard texture.
Just as Leng Yuexing wanted to examine the card more closely, it transformed into starlight and merged into her body.
The mechanical voice from before announced: "You have obtained the Beast Card Pool. Card draw complete."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the room behind Leng Yuexing suddenly opened, and a staff member walked in. "Leng Yuexing, right? After you finished drawing from the gacha pool, come over here to register."
Leng Yuexing followed him into the registration hall.
The registration hall was filled with people; some were breaking down in tears, some were dancing in a state of excessive excitement, and others looked dejected as if the end of the world had come. In short, everyone was in a different state.
Leng Yuexing was probably the calmest one among them. He had no idea what was going on and could only follow behind the staff with a blank expression.
The staff member walked behind an empty table, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Leng Yuexing. "Fill in your information on this registration form, then come find me at workstation C2."
This is a card player information registration form. At the top, there are two options: Battle Card Player and Pet Card Player. Below are some basic information.
Leng Yuexing placed the registration form on the table. He decided to first review the information about the world that the sapling had given him before filling out the registration form.
In 3658 AD, due to cosmic turbulence, the card world suddenly connected with the human world, but because the two worlds were not in the same space, they could not communicate.
Humans can only observe the card world through the spatial loopholes that appear. After observing the card world, humans have concluded that the card world is different from the human world.
Humans live on various continents, while the creatures of the card world live in the card pool.
Calling it a "card pool" is just a term humans use to refer to the area where cards live.
The card creatures living in different card pools are different, but they can be roughly divided into two categories: combat cards and pet cards.
Battle cards are creatures with various combat abilities, while pet cards are creatures without combat abilities; they can only live as pets alongside humans.
After research, humanity finally discovered that it was possible to summon creatures from the card world to the human world.
Creatures from the card world will transform into card-like entities upon entering the human world.
The method of summoning is through meditation.
However, not all humans can summon cards; only a small percentage of humans can do so.
When a human summons a card for the first time, they can choose their preferred card pool.
Before a card player runs out of cards in a card pool, they can only draw cards from that pool, so choosing a card pool is a matter that card players must be very careful about.
Before their first card draw after adulthood, they would carefully study various card pools and then choose the best card pool from the cards they drew.
When He Qing, the Son of Heaven, drew cards for the first time, he made a different choice from Leng Yuexing. He chose the Beast Card Pool, which is another card with a beast drawn on it.
He knew that the card pools with fish designs were usually pet card pools, and He Qing wanted to become a battle card master, so he chose the beast card pool without hesitation.
Battle card players gain money and reputation by battling different card players.
Reputation is the best way to enhance card power. The higher the reputation, the stronger the cards you have, and the more victories you can achieve in battle, and the more money you can earn.
He Qing repeatedly triumphed in battles against card masters due to the powerful beast card pool.
After drawing all the cards from the beast card pool, he drew cards again, and what he got was the exotic beast card pool that Leng Yuexing had chosen.
Although it's only a one-word difference, He Qing discovered that the cards in the Beast Card Pool were much more powerful than the Fierce Beast Cards. They were also combat cards, not the pet cards he had assumed.
He eventually earned the title of the number one card master by virtue of his Beast and Beast card pools.
In the year following his attainment of the title of First Card Master, another world invaded the human world.
The alien creatures living in that world were ugly. After invading the human world, they began to rampage through it and hunt humans.
Those card masters who possessed combat cards were the ones who brought dawn to humanity.
He Qing led the battle card masters in a fight against alien creatures, finally driving them out of the human world and saving humanity.
From then on, battle card masters were even more sought after and worshipped by humans.
However, the previous life in which the outsider arrived was not like this.
Besides reputation, another way to enhance card power is to steal the power of your opponent's cards to strengthen yourself.
After Qiu Liang drew from the Dark Card Pool, the outsider invaded his body and took his place.
All cards in the Dark Card Pool possess poison and dark power.
After an outsider manages to steal cards from other card players, they allow dark cards to enter the opponent's card pool through those cards, absorbing the power within the opponent's card pool.
Cards whose power is absorbed from the card pool will gradually weaken until they die.
Many card players were thus unable to summon the cards in their card pool and became despised card players.
Because Qiu Liang acted in a very secretive manner, the card players did not discover his evil deeds for a long time.
It wasn't until he stole He Qing's cards and absorbed the power of the Beast Card Pool that He Qing finally discovered the outsider's actions.
However, it was already too late; the outsider had already absorbed most of the card pool's energy and become the most powerful combat card master.
After another world invaded the human world, he did not fight the alien creatures.
Instead, after discovering that he had seized all the fortune of the chosen one of Heaven, he subconsciously left this world.
The remaining card masters, being weak, had to fight a hard battle for many years to drive the alien creatures out of the human world.
Humans suffered heavy losses as a result, and many lost their lives in the battle.
After receiving the information, Leng Yuexing silently filled out the card maker registration form on the table, and then went to workstation C2 to find the staff member he had just met.
After the staff member took the registration form from Leng Yuexing, he handed her a copy of the Card Master's Code of Conduct.
He then told Leng Yuexing that the government provides two years of free accommodation for orphans who become card players.
After giving Leng Yuexing the house key and location, he signaled that she could leave.
Leng Yuexing left the Card Master Registration Center in J City with the keys and walked to the nearby government-allocated house.
On his journey, he encountered all sorts of pet cards. They followed humans around, and there were so many that almost one in ten people owned a pet card.
Leng Yuexing was surprised to find out after searching the StarNet that pet card players, who could summon pet cards, sometimes consigned their cards for sale.
After acquiring enough money and reputation, continue drawing pet cards.
Humans who obtain pet cards can simply meditate to materialize the pet card and have it accompany them.
Leng Yuexing discovered that these pet cards were extremely cute and had very gentle personalities.
It looked like a little girl walking towards us, holding a palm-sized pet card. It was all pink and had long, soft fur.
It lay obediently in the little girl's arms, its adorable big eyes looking at the world.
To Leng Yuexing's surprise, he also saw a pet card that looked like a lump of coal.
Its entire body was covered in black fur, with only a pair of large, misty eyes peeking out from the very center. It lay obediently on the human's shoulder, looking at the world with the same curiosity.
