Chapter 5 Future Plans

nging from the bear's side.The summoned maiden in her wedding dress sits astride the bear, giving it a "pep talk". The giant bear moves with incredible speed, dashing through the landscape like a whir...Lu Cheng carefully flipped the black card over to observe it. Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name

Ramen is a closed door.

not...

It is a pass.

On both sides, towering twin peaks stand opposite each other, shrouded in an eerie mist. A colossal gate stretches a thousand zhang high, standing majestically and imposingly, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Above the gate, there is a plaque with three large characters: "Iron Painting Silver Hook".

The Gate of Ghosts

Lu Cheng, this person of Han Chinese descent, understood immediately.

Battleground - Ghost City!

You can go back again!

Lu Cheng was still worried just now, if he couldn't go back to Youdu, the little sisters in his card set would drain him dry within half a year!

But how do we get back

This card is completely unable to view information.

Uh... that's not right.

There is only one piece of information.

Energy: 0%

Then it's fine.

It's said to be "energy", but upon closer inspection, the entire article is filled with the words "make money".

It should be used to charge the card. When it's full of energy, the Ghost Gate on the card face will open again, allowing you to enter once more.

Lü Cheng took a deep breath and tried it slightly.

Inject your faint energy into 【Youdu】.

Unfortunately, nothing is bubbling up, and the energy remains at 0%.

This card looks really tempting.

"Hmm"

Hunger pangs came.

Thinking about his appetite, Lu Cheng only then remembered that he hadn't eaten anything in almost two days.

Pushing open the door, the wind was still blowing.

He picked up a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed it together, and the wind and snow transformed into a [Snow (Dirty)].

Lu Cheng entered the room, took out the 【Rusty Pot (Iron)】 card, and lit the 【Wood】.

He didn't go as far as using the "Spiritwood" chopped from the bank of the River Styx. This card may have other uses.

Wood Broken pot Snow (melted) Ghost carp ......

After the count, the campfire danced.

Cards are being combined and evolving.

......

You obtained 【Ghost Carp Soup】.

Lucas is not a good cook, and he doesn't have any seasoning cards either.

The quality is naturally worse, but it still has the effect of "slightly restoring soul power."

Lu Cheng knew that this card could only restore lost soul power, but it couldn't increase the tenacity of the soul or the upper limit of soul power.

His soul power is almost full now, it's too wasteful for the Ghost Carp to just eat for sustenance.

Then, why not go all out It's worth spending some soul power to summon Hong Yi. Besides, it will replenish after we eat anyway.

"Summon, Crimson Bride!"

The white card transformed into twinkling points of white light and vanished. In an instant, a graceful figure appeared before them.

In an instant, the dilapidated room was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The girl stood silently beside Lu Cheng.

Although Lu Cheng still felt a little creeped out, he thought about it for a moment.

Wow, the labor-management talks just resumed. Who's still alive I'm scared of what she might do.

Lu Cheng: "Uh, little sister, are you cold"

Red Attire: "...."

Lu Cheng: "Are you hungry"

Red:

Lu Cheng: "Come over and have some food together"

The young girl slowly walked to the bonfire and knelt gently. With a jade hand, she scooped out a bowl, lifted her veil slightly, and brought the [Ghost Carp Soup] to her lips.

Ding, because the fish soup was too unpalatable, your card girl (Red) favorability decreased by 1.

I'm going.

Lu Cheng was very unwilling.

I haven't eaten in two days, and I've worked hard to synthesize for half a day. Before I could even eat myself, this little sister started complaining.

She doesn't eat, she eats herself.

Lu Cheng presented a bowl and sent it to his mouth.

Oh my god, this is so disgusting!

......

Ghost carp has a unique flavor, and boiling it directly is really hard to swallow.

Lu Cheng shook his head and ladled out another bowl. He pinched his nose and drank it down.

In red still sat quietly on the side, saying nothing.

Lu Cheng put down his bowl.

After eating, I felt inexplicably warm.

Life is like the fish soup in front of you, bitter, but if you swallow it down hard enough, it can be satisfying, right

How about we value our lives a little more

"Girl, you tell me, last time I just wanted to solo queue a Duel Masters game, and it ended up getting ruined by someone. How are we going to fix this time"

"... " The red-clad figure remained silent.

"It's very dangerous. The enemy has been operating for a long time and has a lot of power. As an enemy, I am currently weak. Hiding might be better, but it's hard to let go of this feeling..."

「.......」

Having died once, one knows the preciousness of life. However, if one lives in fear from then on, this life will likely never reach the arena of ultimate combat.

Looking at the black card in my mind and the bride in front of me.

With a hometown card deck in hand, how can one hesitate to move forward

Duel Masters, fight heaven and earth, the road ahead is thorny, yet what's there to fear

I've decided, I'm going back with my own deck. No, that's not enough!

Lu Cheng stood up, his fists clenched.

"I'm going to bet everything on myself one last time. I'm going to stand on the Echo Bay arena again, and leave them bankrupt, pay back every drop of blood with blood!"

When they heard the phrase "blood debt, blood repayment", the temperature in the room dropped suddenly!

Card resonance triggered, Maid Girl (Red) affinity increased by 100!

Unlock card affinity skill: You can consume affinity to actively appease Hong Yi's "resentment".

Lu Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at the red-clothed girl who had also stood up.

Suddenly, the sounds of suona and music filled the air, followed by a haunting female voice:

"Three realms, four states, seeking nothing, irredeemable...."

.......

The next day, Lu Cheng connected to the Card Master Network.

Three years have passed, the brain domain has been repaired, and the village finally has internet access!

The Imperial Battle Domain Card, forged by countless empires throughout history. Its origins are lost to time, but its power remains legendary.

Although there are thousands of Dream Weaver specialists dedicated to maintaining the Weaver's Network, it absolutely belongs to no one. Weavers can access it through the neural network.

Industries and businesses of all kinds are flourishing.

Live streaming, duels, trading, academies, online shopping.......everything you could ask for.

The Kartist Network itself belongs to the realm of fantasy, but Kartists can participate in real card trading and social activities through their virtual avatars.

It can be said that the Card Teacher Network has narrowed the distance between the world.

As soon as Lu Cheng arrived, he saw the "Kashi Network" and immediately understood. It wasn't anything new, just the metaverse of Kashi Continent.

People shout advertisements in various areas using virtual avatars:

"Starlight Online Courses, 0 Foundation to Advanced, 1-on-1 Teaching, Guaranteed Pass for Card Master Test!"

"British Shorthair (Aggressive), a legendary god card, sells for money!"

"Opening a blind box, yesterday a kid from Xingdou City opened an Emperor Purple one!"

........

These were not Lu Cheng's goals. Out of caution, Lu Cheng put on a mask.

Soon, he clicked on the destination.

"Winter Lion City Network Academy".

Generally, academies are located in the real world, providing better teaching effects. However, due to harsh weather conditions in Winterfell, with constant wind and snow cover throughout the year, classes can only be held online.

Lu Cheng didn't have to come to school, but he still came.

Individual competitions usually can't hide too much strength. The odds three years ago were purely due to the mistakes of the black market operators in Echo Bay. If they had studied Lu Cheng's previous matches carefully back then, they would have found that he actually had a chance of winning. In fact, the odds would never have been that extreme.

This time, Lu Cheng was going to make the odds for high-stakes off-market betting, but he decided to take a different path, a more stable one.

Cardfight!! Vanguard has both single-player and team battles.

Team battles usually take place in a 5v5 format.

Inside, there's usually a goofy tank class, two DPS classes that eat team resources but don't do much, a roaming class that no one knows where it is throughout the whole game, and a support class that gets blamed for everything.

Teams and schools are great places to hide your identity.

...and it's even easier to make high odds.

If a student who has always been a support role in team battles, one day stands on the stage of a one-on-one duel competition to challenge the highly anticipated Duel Master, what would the odds be outside the arena

But he has never played in a raid before, this is a whole new challenge!

.......

Lu Cheng couldn't afford the tuition, but during the winter lion's enrollment season, there was a test-based admission system.

He knew that Winterhold Academy in reality controlled a large expansion pack secret realm called [Ice Giant Gorge].

This can produce a full set of 【Ice Demon】 cards.

All of the students of the Winter Lion have the opportunity to enter this secret realm to seek cards, which has attracted many people to apply for admission.

The registration area was crowded with people.

.......

"This is too unfair, how could we possibly beat the college teachers"

"That's right, persisting for 10 minutes is almost impossible!"

And what if my teammates mess me over with the random matchmaking

Lu Cheng only stood there for two minutes and he knew, the test was a simple 2V1. All they had to do was persist for 10 minutes with a randomly matched teammate against the teacher's team to pass.

.......

"Silence! Winter Lion Academy isn't a beginner academy, the tests are like this. Either you pass or pay up! Alright, the test begins!" decided to focus all his attention on enhancing his energy level.He even took a day off from school for it.Now he's mainly focusing on cultural classes at school. He can only wait until after the Ac...
