CHAPTER 19: 019 CHILD DEMON CARD_1
Wen Jiang bought things without any rhyme or reason, ending up with a haphazard pile of purchases.
After running into Qiao Yuxiao earlier, and giving it some thought, she still couldn’t guarantee that Qiao Yuxiao wouldn’t blab, so she just grabbed her stuff and headed home.
Zero Egg seemed to regret that Wen Jiang wasn’t following the path of a tragically tormented female lead, "You’re really not going to interact with them? A woman’s jealousy is energy too."
"Look at her. Where do you see any sign that she could feel jealous of me? I don’t think Song Yingchen has that much charm. Besides, any person with a normal IQ would feel no threat seeing the way Song Yingchen treats me. Of course, if she’s an idiot, then ignore what I just said."
After all, I was able to come to this world and become the female lead of a tragic story.
Zero Egg didn’t make another peep.
After a while, Zero Egg suddenly spoke up, "I checked, and her IQ is actually quite high."
Wen Jiang: "..."
If this System hadn’t met me, it would definitely have led its other hosts astray.
Wen Jiang entered the card crafting room with a bag of snacks, where the Flower Demon was dying of boredom. Upon seeing Wen Jiang return, she lifted her head with a dainty charm and a soft, boneless poise, "Ah, my master has returned. I’ve been so lonely without you~"
Wen Jiang: "..."
Suddenly, I feel that creating the Flower Demon so early might not have been such a good thing.
Even Zero Egg shuddered, "I recommend selling her quickly! Who could withstand that?"
...
A week later, Chen Runyu received the five cards that Wen Jiang had finished.
Unable to stand up to Chen Xiaotu’s pleading, he agreed to let her stand by and watch as the card information was collected. She said even if she couldn’t own them, just looking would do, and she wouldn’t disclose the skills of the cards.
Chen Runyu gave his consent.
Five cards appeared in front of the card crafting device. Even Chen Runyu couldn’t finish the remaining four cards in one go. He had to follow the transmission order, copy two cards first, and then take a break.
It gave him enough time to examine the new cards he received.
You can only see the card face of the starter card. Chen Runyu waved his hand, and the two cards came close to his eyes. Controlling a few B-Rank Cards wasn’t too much pressure for him.
The first thing that caught his eye was the Bamboo Demon Card, which was familiar as he’d seen it before.
The other card was the Flower Demon.
The face of the Flower Demon Card showed a woman lying askew on a giant rose, the backdrop a blank space. However, just the character model and that rose constructed a decaying, seductive charm.
Especially when the Flower Demon opened her eyes and her gaze flowed. Even a guy like Chen Runyu, who wasn’t short of girls chasing him, couldn’t help but have his heart race.
Chen Xiaotu’s eyes widened.
Of course, Chen Runyu didn’t know that Wen Jiang’s cards on her end were even more vivacious. After transmission, although the copied cards were somewhat rigid, they still had their own short idle animations.
When he summoned the cards, the Bamboo Demon gave a shy smile and bowed slightly to Chen Runyu, "I have the honor to meet my master."
In contrast, the Flower Demon glided with lotus steps, her slender waist, thin enough to be encircled by one hand, twisted like a water snake as she approached. Lazily bowing, she raised her eyes. In her flirtatious gaze and soul-stirring voice, she said, "Your servant greets you, Master~~"
Chen Runyu was stunned.
He had never encountered a Card Spirit like this. When the Flower Demon spoke, he felt his scalp tingle as if his entire body had been struck by electricity.
Could such cards really be crafted?
Just that face alone is a powerful weapon!
While Chen Runyu was still immersed in shock, he heard a "PFFT" next to him.
He turned to look.
Chen Xiaotu’s nose was gushing blood, eyes rolling back, a dazed expression on her face as she collapsed.
Chen Runyu: "..."
At that moment, Chen Runyu truly began to doubt his sister.
She’s not some kind of pervert, is she?
She’s not really a pervert, is she?
Chen Runyu was still rational; after all, he knew the thing in front of him was just a card, slightly stuck.
In the eyes of such people—only card strength mattered.
Once he learned about the card skills, Chen Runyu’s pupils suddenly shone with light. "Good! Such a powerful card creator!"
It’s only B-Level?
But for a B-Level to possess such talent is simply terrifying.
The initial Rabbit Demon was an output and assassin card. The Bamboo Demon served as support, and the Flower Demon handled control. All of them were Dual-Change Cards, perfectly suited for their Mount Flower Association’s style, which emphasized trickery and surprise!
Moreover, the appearance of these three cards alone could stun an enemy for a long time. This was another form of strength in itself.
After all, humanoid cards are really rare.
And there are still two cards left!
Chen Runyu took a deep breath and immediately copied the remaining two cards as well.
Support Card, Lantern Demon.
The card depicted a short loli, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket with a snowy white collar, smiling sweetly, like a little bundle of happiness.
In her hand, she held a giant red lantern. This lantern was reminiscent of the kind popular in Yunxia during the New Year. However, because so much time had passed, these were no longer in vogue and were only mentioned in rare history books in the Yunxia Empire.
Melding such ideas into a card is quite shocking.
This thought flashed through Chen Runyu’s mind just briefly.
In her humanoid state, the Lantern Demon would show a sweet smile. The lantern she carried flickered with a warm and moving light, which could, to some extent, restore a card’s combat effectiveness—in other words, the Spirit Card Master’s spiritual power.
Chen Runyu’s pupils contracted.
In fact, even now, the world was still unclear about the origin of the spiritual power Spirit Card Masters used to summon cards. It was only known that the longer they persisted, the longer the Card Spirits could fight.
Among Support Cards, those with restorative powers did exist, but they were far too rare and incredibly difficult to make!
If she transformed directly into the lantern, the Lantern Demon would sacrifice herself to provide a significant amount of spiritual power to other cards. The amount of recovery also depended on the Spirit Card Master’s spiritual power. In other words, the stronger the Spirit Card Master using this card, the more effective it would be.
Chen Runyu’s heart almost leaped into his throat. His excitement grew. Even though these were B-Rank Cards, this unique card set could greatly inspire Spirit Card Masters, perhaps even allowing the creation of unexpectedly high-level cards!
The last card was also a loli.
The previous Rabbit Demon had her arms akimbo and eyes glaring, but you could see a touch of agility and mischief.
This loli wore a little green dress, frowning at the person in front of the card, yet her expression revealed a trace of ferocity and a murderous aura.
Her name was also quite peculiar, with a special remark.
Child Demon.
[The Child Demon, transformed from the spirits of dead infants, possesses strong fighting power and heavy malevolence. It is not recommended for Spirit Card Masters of good nature.]
Chen Runyu was taken aback.
The description of this card was somewhat—chilling.
In his era, pregnant women and infants were well protected. Deaths of children at a young age were extremely rare, unless by accident, and even then the odds were small.
This card always gave one an eerie feeling.
Nonetheless, Chen Runyu could sense that it was indeed a very powerful B-Rank offense card.
"Brother..."
The wispy voice of Chen Xiaotu suddenly came through.
"In the years when I was powerless, I met the third woman in my life that I want to protect..."
Chen Runyu: "..."
