Eerie Gods Card Master: Starting With Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

The Card Master laughed heartily, "What's the big deal? Just use mine! Sisters, hurry up, don't let the banquet stop! Continue!"

Amber smiled in relief, raising her empty wine glass. "You're right, sisters and honored guests, let's quickly share this drink!"

The beauties present all smiled and crowded around the Card Master, extending their sharp claws and beginning to dismember his body together. Blood gushed from countless wounds on the Card Master's body!

What the Card Master saw in his eyes was red wine flowing from his own body. He joyfully cheered, "There's wine! There's wine! We... continue! The banquet... don't stop!"

"Haha... don't stop..."

"So... happy..."

The voices of the drinkers gradually faded.

His scattered blood, however, gradually condensed into a drop of vital essence, flowing into the blood-red wine glass in Amber's hand.

The maids present, abandoning their previous frenzy, stood by respectfully, awaiting orders.

Amber instructed them, "Take this offering to the plantation to nourish the young seedlings."

The maids immediately began to act.

Amber looked at the wine glass forged from flesh and blood in her hand, a rare fanaticism appearing on her face: "The Holy Grail has absorbed another drop of vital essence, it will be completed soon, just a little more!"

The handsome youth pondered for a moment, recalling the information on the registration form from before.

Then he opened his communication software, dialed a secret number, and said, "Help me investigate two Card Masters."

The author, along with bartender Amber, is here to ask for votes and follow-up reads! This is very important for future traffic!

Amber looked at her ranking on the new book list, forged by monthly votes, a rare fanaticism appearing on her face: "This book has absorbed another monthly vote, it will be on the list soon, just one more!"

Thanks for the monthly votes from: Nostalgic Scroll, Looking Back Also as the Beginning!

Chapter 25: Retracing the Heroic Epic, Awakening the Peerless Skill of a Hero!

On the other end of the communication software, a voice, indistinguishable as male or female, retorted, "Weren't you exposed?"

Amber said faintly, "I just took a liking to two offerings. The Holy Grail is about to be completed, just needing this final push."

The other side said, "I didn't expect your progress to be so fast, and you weren't discovered by the authorities."

Amber: "Because I only target low-tier Card Masters. There are actually many such Card Masters, the authorities simply can't investigate them all."

The other side: "Give me their names and addresses."

Amber flipped through the registration form: "One is called Lin Chen, living at... One is called Chen Xiao Diao, she's a Security Bureau patrol officer, living at..."

The other side warned, "There's even an official Card Master from the Security Bureau. You must not mess this up. The key to this project isn't your Holy Grail."

Amber: "I know, of course. If I mess this up, I'll die to atone."

The other side: "As long as you know what you're doing, I'll send you the information I find through the usual method later."

Amber: "Thank you, praise the Mother Goddess."

The other side returned the greeting: "Good luck, praise the Mother Goddess."

After hanging up, the caller ID showed that the number had been deactivated.

Then Amber went to her office and took out a card from a heavily locked box, summoning a square piece of meat.

This piece of meat trembled slightly, as if breathing.

After waiting for a while, cuts began to appear on the piece of meat!

These cuts and scratches intertwined, forming words, gradually connecting into detailed sentences:

"Chen Xiao Diao, 19 years old, orphan, H City Card Association Security Bureau - Patrol Team One - Junior Card Master, possesses a Green Grade [Fist Fighter] Card, ranked at the bottom of the Security Bureau's strength, brainless and reckless..."

"Lin Chen, 23 years old, single, a low-tier trainee Card Master, recently purchased a White Grade [Fighter] Card, assisted Chen Xiao Diao in resolving an 'Anomaly Level' incident, no other public Card information..."

Someone was transmitting intelligence to Amber by remotely cutting the piece of meat!

Even more bizarrely, after the words appeared, they were quickly erased and restored by wriggling, regenerating flesh;

This was achieved by regenerating the flesh, effectively erasing traces and allowing for "read and burn" functionality!

Such a strange and secretive method of information transmission!

And the time it took for the regeneration was enough for Amber to memorize all the intelligence.

However, this intelligence was clearly not the latest;

Otherwise, it would have known that Chen Xiao Diao had acquired a Blue Card yesterday.

Lin Chen's information had not been publicly disclosed due to the concealment efforts of Zhong Yueming and Chen Xiao Diao.

But the fact that they knew even his Card purchase records and reports on resolving eerie incidents meant the source of the intelligence definitely had official backing!

Amber muttered, "Two more Card Masters living alone, only with Green Cards in hand. They fit my criteria, so I can move on them without worry.

The only tricky part is that the girl comes from the official Security Bureau. I'll definitely be investigated afterward, so I have to save her for last."

Unaware that he had already been targeted, Lin Chen returned home and began his usual review of the day, especially the part where he inexplicably ended up on the second floor of the bar.

It must have been some kind of mental influence!

But during the previous "Night Fishing Anomaly: Rotten Fish Corpse" incident, his spiritual sense had given him a warning. Why was there no reaction this time?

There were two possibilities:

1. The mental manipulation from the fish corpse was strong with eerie energy and obvious malice, making it easy to react;

But this time, the mental manipulation lacked such malice. Instead, it involved "pleasure," a more positive emotion, causing his spiritual sense to let down its guard.

2. The fish corpse was an "Anomaly Level" entity, and its pollution level was the lowest, which Lin Chen could resist;

The entity on the second floor of the bar might have been of a higher level, which is why Lin Chen fell for it.

Lin Chen guessed that both reasons were possible, even occurring simultaneously.

So, Amber, this handsome and gentle bartender, was actually a very powerful mental-type Card Master!?

With such strength, why would he open a bar and serve ordinary people and low-level Card Masters?

He wouldn't earn much money or gain many resources that way.

Then what was Amber after?

Lin Chen had a similar plan for the future, providing replicas of "Door Gods" for ordinary citizens.

But Lin Chen wasn't a saint. The reason for such a plan was to accumulate Faith power for his God Cards.

If there were no benefits, Lin Chen might do it casually, but he certainly wouldn't go all out.

Lin Chen was suddenly reminded by his own example!

Lin Chen's Door God card needed the Faith power of others to advance.

Amber, on the other hand, likely needed to run his shop and obtain something from his customers to advance his own card.

A bar, and customers… it definitely had to involve alcohol.

Lin Chen's gaze shifted to the bottle of wine Amber had given him.

The wine bottle was made of pottery, with simple yet elegant lines and a natural blue color. Ivy was carved onto the body of the bottle, giving the impression of a long-standing, inherited craftsmanship.

This style of craftsmanship felt very familiar to Lin Chen, though he couldn't recall it immediately.

He tried pouring a little out. The crystal-clear wine flowed into the cup;

A sweet grape aroma instantly filled the entire room, making one feel joyful and intoxicated just by smelling it.

The wine was definitely good, but he feared there might be something more mysterious within it.

Lin Chen didn't dare to drink it himself, so he summoned "Wu Song," letting this wine-loving hero have a taste;

Besides, he had originally intended to feed Wu Song when he went to buy the wine.

As soon as Wu Song appeared, he stared longingly at the wine in the cup. He raised the cup, about to drink, but after sniffing it, he threw the wine away!

The hero angrily exclaimed, "This wine has sleeping powder in it!"

What Wu Song meant by "sleeping powder" was that the wine contained hallucinogenic components that ordinary people definitely couldn't handle.

Wu Song, with his extensive Jianghu experience, had seen through the trick of Sun Erniang, the "Mother Yaksha" of the Black Inn at Shizipao in the original "Water Margin," where she put sleeping powder in the wine.

Wu Song was experienced in detecting whether wine was drugged; he smelled it out immediately.

Even more strangely, a spiritual light suddenly emanated from Wu Song, converging into the "Qinghe County Exile Fighter Wu Song" card.

The card trembled slightly, and a star flashed!

Lin Chen quickly took the card and examined it closely. On the card's traits, a new section had appeared:

[Jianghu Experience]: Wu Song is bold yet cautious, with rich Jianghu experience. He can identify malicious acts such as lies, deception, schemes, and poisons with a high probability.

This wine appraisal had unexpectedly awakened a new trait in Wu Song!

This "Jianghu Experience" directly related to the "Exile" in Wu Song's card name;

When Wu Song was exiled to Chai Jin's manor, he met countless heroes from all directions and accumulated rich Jianghu experience.

Lin Chen's scholarly mind kicked in again, and he began to break down the problem thoroughly:

What was the mechanism behind a Card Spirit awakening a trait?

He started searching online for shared experiences regarding Card "Trait Awakening," only to find that guides on this topic were scarce.

From some scattered sharing posts, Lin Chen managed to deduce a pattern:

A "unique event" for the Card Spirit must be triggered to awaken its potential traits.

Each Card Spirit's unique event is different, and there's no prompt indicating what the event is, relying entirely on luck to trigger it.

But Lin Chen felt that since "Trait Awakening" wasn't an isolated incident, there must be some logic behind the triggering events.
