Chapter 87: 087 Mo Liqing_1
After discussing with Wen Jiang, Zero Egg looked at Nian Jian again and finally felt a trace of pity.
A pitiable little one used as an experiment by her own mom?
Of course, it tried to defend its product, "Rest assured, the cards developed by our world won’t have any problems. Of course, if you choose not to use it, I will not force you."
Wen Jiang scoffed.
She didn’t know how the other party accomplished it, but in the world that once belonged to her, beings that fed on human negative emotions were not anything good. Though this one could absorb all sorts of emotions.
Nian Jian had no idea what Wen Jiang and Zero Egg were discussing; she only knew that after she finished speaking, Wen Jiang became silent for a while.
Her heart felt uneasy, as she had indeed concealed some matters before. She had a special talent since she was young; although she was just an ordinary person, she could intuitively tell whether people had good or bad intentions towards her.
Wen Jiang’s expression was indifferent. Nian Jian’s intuition regarding Wen Jiang was unstable; Nian Jian hadn’t perceived much malice from her, so she had gone with the flow and decided to stay.
Fortunately, Wen Jiang did not inquire any further.
Wen Jiang left that place and headed to the card room, a place where Nian Jian was not permitted to enter.
Nian Jian knew Wen Jiang was a Spirit Card Master.
Seeing that Wen Jiang did not continue to ask questions, Nian Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently feeling a bit aggrieved, she slumped on the sofa, her mind wandering back to the past.
Although this life was not something she excelled at, she had to admit that with Yunxia, she experienced a sense of relaxation she had never known before. No one would be monitoring her life all the time, nor would anyone treat her as a gift to be given away. Wen Jiang did not require her to ingratiate herself; she was simply like a stranger living under this roof.
Wen Jiang entered the room and observed the card pool before her.
The cards she had previously made were all floating on the card wall. Though the matter with Nian Jian had been a distraction, she hadn’t forgotten her idea to make a card for the Mount Flower Association.
The Mo Family’s Four Generals, a brotherly combination.
They were famous warrior brothers in the *Investiture of the Gods* mythological stories. Setting aside the influence of the stories, each of the four had different abilities, and their magical treasures possessed numerous powers, more than enough to be made into Multi-State Cards that could deliver a crushing blow to the A-Rank Cards currently on the market.
Tang Qian needed a card made for her in advance. Wen Jiang mulled it over and decided to first create the one she was most familiar with: Mo Liqing, the Growing King.
[One of the Four Great Kings who protect the world of Buddhism, residing in the South, also known as the Growing King. He is dressed in blue armor and wields the Green Cloud Sword. Originally one of the generals guarding Jiameng Pass for Shang Zhou, he was posthumously entered into the *Investiture of the Gods* and made one of the Celestial Court Divine Gods by Jiang Ziya.]
Wen Jiang first wrote out the background for the card this time. Zero Egg was shocked. "Damn! Who is Mo Liqing? What is the *Investiture of the Gods*? And who is Jiang Ziya? You haven’t even introduced Hou Yi, and you’re already digging so many new plot holes?"
Wen Jiang was about to start making the card and frowned lightly, "Silence."
Zero Egg: "..."
It had many questions it wanted to ask. Why could Wen Jiang conjure up so many strange and exotic inspirations for Spirit Cards, and why were those she was making now mostly related to Humanoid Cards? In this world, Humanoid Cards were clearly one of the most difficult types to create.
Creating a card for Mo Liqing was too easy; his magical treasure itself constituted his card’s abilities.
Mo Liqing’s Green Cloud Sword, also a cyan-colored precious sword, was engraved with symbols: ’Earth,’ ’Water,’ ’Fire,’ and ’Wind.’ These four characters corresponded to the Green Cloud Sword’s four offensive abilities.
First, Wind. When the card was switched to this state, Mo Liqing would unleash wind blades, sharp as knives, capable of instantly turning enemies to dust—a pure damage skill.
Switched to Fire, it could conjure a torrent of raging flames in the air, incinerating everything in its path. It could be used for both offense and battlefield division.
Switched to Water, towering waves would spew forth from the sword. While lacking the lethality of the previous two modes, these waves could persist for a long time, slowing down or even completely binding an opponent’s Card Spirit, serving as temporary crowd control.
Switched to Earth, its function was similar to Water. It could cleave the ground, causing dust to churn. This could be used for offense or to protect allied Card Spirits.
These four states would thoroughly test a Spirit Card Master’s reaction speed and could bring about significant changes on the battlefield.
One card, used as four.
Wen Jiang felt that this was what true versatility meant: using such a card in battle, capable of both offense and control, not just merely filling a slot.
Of course, merely having multiple states didn’t guarantee ease of use. The operational difficulty of such cards was very high. Just like some games always feature high-difficulty challenges that only a few can master, Mo Liqing’s card was precisely such a case.
With a little speculation, Wen Jiang felt that this card was probably only suitable for the Mount Flower Association’s top professional teams. Ordinary Spirit Card Masters would likely be taken out by their opponents before they could even execute its Skills.
It’s not that the stronger the card is, the more destructive power you can automatically wield.
This card, like Changer’s, took a bit longer to create. While Wen Jiang had taken a few days off, no major events had occurred in the outside world.
However, a more heaven-defying application for the Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine card was discovered.
A Spirit Card Master suddenly posted the following message on an APP.
Anonymous: Due to work, I encountered something yesterday. When I was using the Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine card, a teammate’s Card Spirit collapsed. In desperation, I stuffed the medicine into my teammate—the Spirit Card Master—and to my surprise, they completely recovered their spiritual power and immediately summoned several more Card Spirits! In actual combat, the value of Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine is even more heaven-defying than in matches. This card is extremely suitable for military use.
- Holy crap? It can be used on Spirit Card Masters too? I thought this card was only meant for matches.
- I knew it! That ’feed medicine’ animation was too weird. I never thought Spirit Card Masters themselves could use this card. One hundred percent spiritual power recovery—isn’t that terrifying? Doesn’t that mean Spirit Card Masters in the field could continuously summon Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine and consume its product to maintain an infinite spiritual power cycle?
- Regarding the post above, the military has reportedly started testing. Theoretically, it’s correct, but the human brain can’t handle it; users will still experience fatigue. However, overall, using this card can extend a Spirit Card Master’s spiritual power cycle by at least two more rounds.
- Damn it! Why the hell did you have to reveal that! Now, because of you, Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine has been officially delisted!
- Damn! It’s really been pulled. Did Spirit Card Masters do it themselves, or was it the officials?
- Probably the officials. If it was selling well and then suddenly got pulled, it must have been an official decision. I didn’t expect this card to have such a powerful effect in actual combat. Apparently, many people abroad also bought it. A card like this definitely can’t be allowed to spread to other countries...
The heaven-defying attributes of Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine were now clear. Although its function was simple, its healing capability was unmatched by any other A-Rank Card of the same level.
This was because, previously, few cards had specifically targeted one particular attribute: a Spirit Card Master’s own spiritual power cycle.
