Chapter 46: Rule Card

Luo Sheng stayed in Dongfang Muqing’s ancient cultivation world for a month.

During this time, he used the money earned by Dongfang Muqing to purchase a house and a teahouse, which he renovated.

Essentially, the central stage was partitioned with curtains, allowing Dongfang Muqing to sing inside without being seen, creating an elegant and artistic teahouse. This way, she would have the means to support herself.

He felt like he was worrying too much over a little kid.

Then, Luo Sheng left some beast cores and spirit stones, and departed from the card world with Muqing reluctantly saying goodbye.

……

As the light of transmigration faded, he appeared in his own room.

Dongfang Muqing’s world continued to evolve.

Her performance career was flourishing, attracting countless guests. Many literati and scholars even offered rewards and requested to meet Dongfang Muqing in person.

But she strictly adhered to the rules Luo Sheng had set for her:

①No showing her face.

②No talking with people.

③Return home when not busy, don’t wander around outside to avoid being kidnapped by bad people.

So, she didn’t meet anyone, regardless of how much money they offered.

Even when going out for a stroll, she would bring female bodyguards, and items like veils were essential.

During this time, her strength increased rapidly thanks to the accumulated spirit stones and beast cores left by Luo Sheng.

One day, Dongfang Muqing heard news that someone had found a sacred artifact of the Azure Phoenix Clan in an ancient ruin. Excited, she forgot Luo Sheng’s instructions and met with someone, successfully purchasing the sacred artifact.

However, her youthful and delicate appearance spread throughout the entire city.

Of course, the news also reached the ears of a certain cultivating family in the city. A young master, unable to contain himself, declared based on his decades of observation that Muqing must be a demon.

On this day, Dongfang Muqing was practicing her zither at the teahouse through performance as usual.

Suddenly, the city’s largest Black Tiger Gang, on orders from the young master of the family, came to capture her for marriage. The card scene froze at the moment when the teahouse erupted into chaos.

A bronze 6-star card fell into Luo Sheng’s hand.

【Performer – Dongfang Muqing】

Level: Bronze 6-star

Type: Character

Skills:

①Spirit Calling: When performing, there’s a 25% chance to reduce the target enemy unit’s damage by 20% for 30 seconds.

②Moonfall Tiderise: Play musical notes to slowly restore HP for all friendly units within a 20-meter radius, lasting 1 minute.

③Dark Night to Dawn: Dongfang Muqing enters a red state, increasing performance effects by 20%, lasting 10 minutes.

④Ambush from Ten Sides: The performance of “Ambush from Ten Sides” can increase allied units’ attack power and HP by 17%, lasting 5 minutes.

⑤Wood Shifting: Can immediately open Jianmu once, limited to twice per day.

⑥Wonderful Music Sharing: Let Muqing perform a piece, helpful for recovering spiritual power, limited to once per day.

Description: I’m not a pet, I’m an emotionless performer!

“Great card!” Luo Sheng exclaimed.

The card quality of 【Performer – Dongfang Muqing】 directly reached the transcendent level.

Although its level wasn’t too high, the buffs were definitely strong. It was estimated that under her enhancement, the team’s killing power could increase by 20%.

Moreover, she was also a healer, able to restore HP at any time.

However, at this moment, a one-time card suddenly appeared in Luo Sheng’s hand.

【Heaven’s Oath】

Level: Function Card

Type: Rule

Effect: Rules and promises made must be followed, or punishment will be incurred. Time limit: 1 day.

Description: Once you make a vow, you must keep your word. You don’t want to suffer the punishment of heavenly lightning, do you?

“Huh???”

This card greatly exceeded Luo Sheng’s expectations.

He never imagined he could bring cards out of the card world.

Luo Sheng picked up 【Heaven’s Oath】 and examined it carefully.

“A one-time card, could it be because there’s no card as a carrier, so it can only be used once?”

This kind of thing already belonged to the realm of Creators. Creators could create cards, a very magical type of Card Master, with a nobility surpassing the vast majority of Enhancers.

They were considered nobility among nobility, after all, being able to create cards that others don’t have, and possibly even create exclusive cards.

To become a Creator, one needs to undergo mind domain modification, or rather, mutation.

Through special substances, the mind domain and spiritual jade undergo a certain kind of mutation.

Of course, there were limitations to this. If a Card Master had already mutated once during the bronze period,

Then if they want to mutate again, they must wait until the silver level, otherwise, due to insufficient divine patterns in the mind domain and spiritual jade, it would lead to failure.

Luo Sheng wasn’t a Creator now, but he could bring cards out of the card world. Even if it was just one-time use, it still shocked him greatly.

“Heaven’s Oath, using this kind of card, if the other party verbally agrees, then the oath will be established, otherwise it will be invalid,” Luo Sheng pondered.

The necessary conditions to achieve this card:

The other party must agree.

If his request is unreasonable and the other party refuses, then this card will not take effect.

This was a hard condition, but whether it could be achieved was another matter.

“It can only take effect by tricking the other party to agree unconsciously,” Luo Sheng thought.

Luo Sheng put this card away, it might be a trump card in the future, who knows.

Of course, it also made him aware that if others use this card, it could potentially threaten him as well. In the future, he couldn’t casually agree to others, especially in battle.

At this time, the feedback from the card enhancement arrived as expected.

Although it wasn’t too strong, it still increased his spiritual jade progress by 3%, directly reaching 51%.

Becoming a bronze 6-star Card Master.

After all, entering the card world for enhancement offered quite a generous reward.

Currently, his main cards were: 6-star 【Dongfang Muqing】, 7-star 【Acoley】, 8-star 【Alice】, 9-star 【Bai Moxue】, and his temporary trump card 【Frost Flying Dragon】.

The 5-star 【Death God Intern】 was useless.

Luo Sheng sold it for 80,000, and with his current savings, he directly reached 820,000.

He calculated that his card deck now had domain, combat, enhancement, recovery, defense, and the like, but lacked effect cards.

So he browsed the mall.

An effect card caught his eye.

【Angel’s Protection】

Level: Bronze 7-star

Type: Effect

Effect:

Through the prayer of a holy maiden, the card brings down the protection of angels, granting certain bonuses to allied units.

①Gives 6 allied units a 19% boost to defense and agility, and in certain situations, increases dodge chance.

②If there are healing units, healing skills are amplified by 30%, and healing duration is extended by one-third until the end of the battle.

Description: Angels provide protection for their children.

“Good card, but… so expensive.”

Even though this card was bronze 7-star, its price had already exceeded the average price of 7-star cards by 250,000, directly reaching 400,000, almost the average price of a bronze 8-star card.

This type of card was indeed quite scarce in the market.

But Luo Sheng still decided to purchase it.

If this effect card was used together with Dongfang Muqing, the effect would be outstanding.

However, unfortunately, enhancements and effects could only stack 1-3 times. Otherwise, if they could stack infinitely, even a 1-star card could probably exert 10-star combat power.
