Chapter 63: Invading the Otherworld Dimension is Actually Also About Cards

“You don’t mind if I take this card, right?” Luo Sheng asked Wang Keai.

She was now his teammate, so he needed to show some respect.

“Mm, I only like ice and water system cards. The rest are yours, unless they’re special cards,” Wang Keai said.

Afterwards, the two continued to venture deeper.

The otherworld dimension invasion was a war between this world and other otherworld dimensions, with both sides fighting for territory.

Areas occupied by the otherworld dimension were called contaminated lands.

If the otherworld dimension’s contaminated area grew larger, it would give birth to more creatures, who would seize this world’s land.

As the contaminated area expanded, more world fragments would be created. These world fragments would in turn accelerate the expansion of the otherworld dimension’s contaminated area, giving birth to even more creatures, creating a vicious cycle.

Just like the current situation.

The ghostly realm had expanded, with its border pushing forward by 1 kilometer in radius.

Luo Sheng learned from textbooks that each otherworld dimension core was made up of these world fragments.

Like the crystal towers in games, as long as they were shattered, the otherworld dimension would shrink until it was completely conquered.

Of course, the more territory they occupied and the more Card Masters they killed and cards they destroyed, the more new world fragments they could create.

Moreover, as world fragments increased, the fragment level in the otherworld dimension’s core area would rise, and so would the creature levels.

And now.

The Armed Department’s Card Masters were fighting at the frontline, searching for and destroying world fragments.

Luo Sheng and Wang Keai were in the rear, specifically dealing with these remnant creatures or newly born weak creatures, preventing the Armed Department from being attacked from both front and rear.

Maintaining the smooth flow of the logistics line.

This was also a kind of duty and practical combat course for the academy, but on a real battlefield, a moment of carelessness could really cost lives.

“There’s something!”

Suddenly.

Wang Keai stopped, pulling out a card from her card box bag.

【Qilin Demigod – Ganyu】

The card transformed into a blue-haired young girl.

The blue hair was tied back into a naturally hanging ponytail, with a single strand sticking up on top of her head. Two small black and red qilin horns grew on either side of her head.

A golden cowbell hung from her stand-up collar, with the Cryo God’s Eye located on the red knot at her waist. She wore a white short qipao with golden patterns.

She appeared in front of Wang Keai in a battle stance, holding a short ice-blue bow in her hand.

She then raised her bow towards a crooked-necked tree in the distance, charging up a heavy strike.

Whoosh~!

The arrow, imbued with ice elemental power, emitted a sky-blue glow as it shot out, blooming upon hitting the crooked-necked tree.

Thud thud thud!

A large number of arrows rained down, striking the tree trunk.

Finally, that crooked-necked tree transformed into a card.

It fell into Wang Keai’s hand, and she turned her head away, casually stuffing this card into Luo Sheng’s arms.

“For you, I don’t need this kind of card.”

“For me?”

Luo Sheng had a sense of deja vu, like being kept by a loli rich girl who took out a bank card from her wallet. This was a kind of silent love.

“Thanks, if you have any problems in the future, feel free to find me anytime,” Luo Sheng said warmly and politely.

Of course, these were just his pleasantries.

He couldn’t possibly be at her beck and call. If she wanted extra services, she’d have to pay more!

Luo Sheng picked up this card.

【Crooked-necked Tree】

Level: Bronze 4-star.

Type: Effect.

Effect: When this card is activated, the enemy gains a misfortune bonus, experiencing one bout of bad luck within 1-5 minutes.

Description: Every imperial family has a crooked-necked tree, it is a devourer of fortune.

“Hmmmm…”

This was a pretty good effect card.

Although the effect was quite ordinary, it could occasionally play a decisive role on the battlefield.

Giving the opponent a misfortune bonus, while the occurrence of unfortunate events might not be a big deal, it could be fatal in the ever-changing battlefield.

The normal damage originally received by the enemy would become critical damage due to bad luck.

However.

What Luo Sheng really wanted was the 【Ganyu】 beside Wang Keai. This card girl was just too cute, so adorable and chubby.

Oh, my maiden heart!

“Don’t even think about it, she’s my main battle card, don’t get any ideas!”

Wang Keai seemed to have discovered his thoughts and immediately dispelled his notions, as if afraid someone would snatch away her beloved toy.

“Rich… ahem, Miss Wang, let’s date!”

“No way, you’re just after my card!”

Wang Keai immediately transformed into a flower protector, standing in front of Ganyu, her red cheeks full of vigilance.

Damn it!

Luo Sheng regretted it. If only he had known earlier, he should have let that slip of the tongue confession come true.

Then, the rich girl’s things would be his things, and his things would still be his things. Wouldn’t this card be within easy reach?

“Just kidding, I don’t have the qualities of a villain,” Luo Sheng said seriously.

He was of course only interested, after all, he hadn’t fully sorted out the girl cards in his hand yet. Cultivating them required a lot of resources, and he had no time to cultivate another one.

Moreover, Wang Keai was giving too much, a card girl and a rich girl. He knew how to prioritize.

“Really?” Wang Keai asked suspiciously.

“Mm-hmm.” Luo Sheng nodded sincerely.

Then he asked in confusion: “But come to think of it, is the crooked-necked tree a creature? How did you know it was a card?”

He pointed at the 【Crooked-necked Tree】 card.

Seeing that he was no longer interested in her card, Wang Keai finally relaxed.

Then she explained in a lecturing tone: “Actually, the textbooks say that cards are completely evolved from otherworld dimension creatures.

But what they don’t say is that the otherworld dimension itself was originally a super domain card.

When you enter the otherworld dimension, it’s equivalent to entering a world with this card as the background.

If you find something strange inside and attack it a bit, you might produce a new card.

Of course, there’s also a chance of failure, because some are originally existing things and not energy;

Some are of too high a rank, and if your own card-using ability is too weak, you can’t cause effective damage, so they won’t turn into cards.”

According to Wang Keai’s explanation.

Within the otherworld dimension contaminated area, almost all living or non-living things could become cards.

For example, a beautiful building, as long as you have the power to destroy it, it would turn into a card.

It’s just that the probability is very low.

Seeing Luo Sheng’s high spirits, Wang Keai couldn’t help but pour cold water on him.

“That being said, don’t think too much. In these contaminated areas, if you don’t want your spiritual power to be exhausted, it’s best to conserve as much as you can.

There were some ignorant Card Masters who tried this behavior before, and later they inevitably died because they all depleted their spiritual power and were then killed by invading creatures.”

“I understand.”

Luo Sheng nodded.

But in his heart, he was still planning to consume a little bit of spiritual power, specifically to search for these non-living cards.

Because the compatibility of the cards in his hand had already reached the 4th stage, consuming very little spiritual power, leaving a lot of surplus.

“If possible, getting another 【Spiritual Recovery】 card would be perfect,” Luo Sheng thought to himself.

Afterwards, the two encountered some small monsters.

4 【Ox-headed Jailer】, 6 【Horse-faced Rakshasa】, 3 【Lonely Island Leech Ghost Shadow】 were all some not-so-strong bronze 4-star characters.

Wang Keai didn’t like these cards and stuffed them all to Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng also experienced using Bai Moxue to summon the Shadow of War.

He indirectly controlled the Shadow of War through Bai Moxue, directly reducing the consumption of spiritual power.

This result was unexpected.

Even Wang Keai showed a surprised expression, “How did you do that? And this card seems to be the one from that day!”

Because the 【Shadow of War】 card obtained previously was a contaminated card.

Moreover, using one card to summon another card was indeed inconceivable.

Unheard of, unprecedented.

“I really discovered it by accident. Um, you’ll keep it a secret, right?” Luo Sheng rubbed his nose and said.

“Rest assured, I can keep a secret like Fort Knox,” Wang Keai patted her flat chest and said, then stared with her bright big eyes, “Can you help me too?”
