Myriad Ghosts Night Parade Card Master: Starting with Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

The [Eyeless Ghost] didn't drop any materials. It seems the Door Gods were too ruthless and didn't even leave a complete corpse, so there wasn't much to salvage.

The [Blood-Red Wedding Sedan Ghost] dropped a [Paper Effigy Dowry Child] (White) as a substitute for death.

The [Drowned Ghost] was blown to pieces by the electromagnetic pulse, but it left behind a [Drowned Person's Black Umbrella] (Green).

This dungeon run resulted in the loss of six ghosts and the acquisition of so much material.

For Zhong Yueming, a novice Card Master, and Lin Chen, who had just stepped onto the threshold of becoming a Card Master, this was an incredible profit.

Zhong Yueming said with relief, "Lin Chen, you can have all these card materials. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have survived this dungeon. I owe you my life."

Lin Chen was deeply moved and quickly replied, "Brother Zhong, you also made significant contributions. If we're talking about owing lives, you saved me first.

Besides, you personally defeated the [Drowned Ghost], so you deserve a share.

And my Door God card was made from the [Guardian] card you gave me. In terms of gratitude, I owe you a lot too."

Seeing Lin Chen's sincerity, Zhong Yueming said, "Then I'll take the [Forbidden Scripture] and [Shattered Corpse in Two Halves] materials.

The [Forbidden Scripture] has a sanity-contaminating effect, and it's not safe to seal it. It would be difficult for you to handle, so it's best if I submit it to the Card Master Association to have the contamination removed.

Consider the [Shattered Corpse in Two Halves] as repayment for the [Guardian] card I gave you."

Lin Chen knew that Zhong Yueming had deliberately chosen the two materials with the lowest value and the highest risk.

Having gone through life and death together, they now considered each other close friends. Lin Chen no longer stood on ceremony and accepted the remaining materials.

"This is a huge achievement, defeating so many ghosts and obtaining valuable intelligence on the [Myriad Ghosts Night Parade Dungeon].

If we report this to the Card Master Association and receive rewards, I'll have enough for my next green card!"

Without the immediate threat to their lives, Zhong Yueming also relaxed.

"Lin Chen, do you want to join the official Card Association Security Bureau?

You created an epic-level divine card! With my recommendation and guarantee, you'll definitely be highly valued!"

Lin Chen's [Door God] card's strength was evident to all, and he had even deduced the card combination formula himself, making him a genius-level card creator!

Zhong Yueming naturally hoped that a talent like Lin Chen would serve the official organization with them.

Furthermore, the new card combination formula and divine card information that Lin Chen deduced needed to be reported quickly to expand the official card compendium.

However, Lin Chen hesitated. He hoped Zhong Yueming would keep his divine card a secret for now.

One reason was the fear of being targeted for possessing such a treasure. Given that this world was filled with evil spirits, there was extreme caution towards divine cards.

If his divine card were exposed, it would undoubtedly be subjected to various tests, and he might even be controlled. Lin Chen had no intention of handing over his life-saving card.

Additionally, Lin Chen did not fully understand the true nature of this world. The reason for the divine card's decline was likely not simple, and he wanted to investigate it first.

Having received the life-saving grace from Lin Chen, Zhong Yueming naturally wouldn't force him. Although he didn't fully understand Lin Chen's concerns, he agreed.

Previously, DS-R1 would help Zhong Yueming record dungeon strategy information. This time, with its energy depleted, he had to record the dungeon strategy himself using his wristband.

Such recording and sharing were crucial for helping other Card Masters and ordinary people who would enter this dungeon later.

The sky had begun to show a hint of light. With the Door Gods' protection, no ghosts dared to attack, and they were likely on the verge of clearing the dungeon.

Lin Chen thought that before leaving the dungeon, he should go and pay his respects at the City God statue again to fulfill his vow.

He entered the temple and was shocked to find that the originally incomplete City God statue had been restored!

Its face was majestic and fierce, resembling a fusion of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.

The incense and candles in the shrine were burning brightly, radiating strong spiritual energy.

The plaque outside the City God Temple also had a name – Door God Temple.

Lin Chen quickly informed Zhong Yueming of his discovery. After monitoring the energy with his wristband, he found that this [Ruined City God Temple] had been upgraded to a Level 2 shelter – the [Door God Temple]!

It also possessed the effects of [Door God's Protection] and [Incense Blessing] –

Those who are not deeply wicked and come to offer incense and worship will receive the Door God's Protection, warding off evil spirits.

The temple was rebuilt, the incense reignited, bestowing blessings!

This was crucial intelligence!

Zhong Yueming imagined that from now on, Card Masters entering this dungeon would have to bring incense. As long as they found this Door God Temple, their survival rate would greatly increase!

Think of how many future people this could help!

'That's great, we're saved!'

Zhong Yueming suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in this bizarre world.

After Lin Chen paid his respects and fulfilled his vow, Zhong Yueming also solemnly bowed three times to the statue.

Lin Chen secretly felt that his [Door God] card had formed a fated connection with this temple.

And as Zhong Yueming bowed, a trace of incense power gathered into his [Door God] card, and Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong also conveyed a sense of joy.

Could the [Door God] card absorb incense power to upgrade?

The first dungeon has ended, and the next card is on its way! Everyone can look forward to what kind of card it will be.

Chapter 7: "Eerie Dungeon Return Prevention and Control Regulations"

Before Lin Chen could even think, an electronic screen lit up on a derelict building next to the Door God Temple.

On the screen was the same host with a fake smile in a suit who had been reporting on the Myriad Ghosts Night Parade!

"The time for gathering is always fleeting. The Myriad Ghosts Night Parade has concluded. Thank you to our loyal listeners who are still tuned in.

The program team will be sending you a return gift. We look forward to seeing you next time. Finally, we'll play 'Can't Die Tonight' for everyone. Wishing you all a safe and successful journey~"

"Using the most congratulatory tone to say the most unlucky things, right? Who would want to see this dungeon again!"

Zhong Yueming complained grumpily.

But this dungeon had finally ended safely.

"I really didn't expect to survive a B-class dungeon!

When DS-R1's intelligent prediction calculated the survival rate at only 0.4%, I was truly desperate.

I didn't expect it to be so inaccurate, haha!"

Zhong Yueming laughed in relief.

Lin Chen muttered to himself, 'That's because I, a transmigrator, am a variable. It would be a ghost if DS-R1 could have calculated that!'

As they left the dungeon, Lin Chen and Zhong Yueming promised to meet up properly once they returned to the real world.

After the people left and the temple was empty, an eyeball quietly rolled out from the shadows, staring intently at the temple where the incense had been rekindled...

The real world, H City Card Association Security Bureau.

Zhong Yueming had returned alive once again. He saw that his dormitory had already been quarantined.

This was a normal containment measure for Card Masters who entered dungeons, to prevent them from becoming eerie or bringing back eerie entities from the dungeon.

He had already gone through three dungeons and was familiar with the procedures upon return.

As usual, Zhong Yueming first used an instrument to conduct a sanity check on himself.

After confirming it was within the safe range, he used his wristband to report to the authorities:

"Report! H City Card Association Security Bureau - Patrol Team 2 - Junior Card Master Zhong Yueming, successfully survived the B-class dungeon [Myriad Ghosts Night Parade Dungeon].

Current sanity value is 86, consciousness is clear, no major physical injuries. I have important dungeon strategy information to report!"

Immediately, three Card Masters from the Security Bureau's containment department arrived.

The team was led by a tall woman with a cool demeanor, dressed in a black trench coat, leather pants, and white gloves.

She spoke expressionlessly, "Junior Card Master Zhong Yueming, according to the 'Card Master Association Eerie Dungeon Return Prevention and Control Regulations,' you will undergo a mandatory dual-track inspection.

First, under the supervision of containment personnel, you will have a sanity monitoring chip implanted. The data will be synchronized in real-time to the Card Master Containment Center."

A containment officer in white behind her handed a chip to Zhong Yueming from a distance. Zhong Yueming skillfully implanted it into his right arm.

The trench coat-clad woman glanced at her wristband, confirmed the chip implantation was successful and data was synchronized.

She continued, "Next, we need to cast a [Purification] spell of the [Holy Light] element on you. Please relax your body and mind and do not resist."

Another containment officer in white stepped forward, took out a green-level [Purification] card, and activated it.

Pure white holy light enveloped Zhong Yueming's body, dispelling some of the dark, eerie energy.

The sanity monitoring chip indicated that Zhong Yueming's sanity value was slowly recovering and his body showed no rejection reactions.

"Next is the 108-question Forbidden Association Test. Please answer truthfully with your first conscious thought.

If the error rate or abnormal response rate exceeds 5%, a review will be triggered."

Zhong Yueming nodded, indicating he was ready.

"How many personalities do you currently have?

What is your current self-recognized race?

What is your real name?

Do you consider human blood to be a food?

Do you have any religious beliefs?

Which of the following are positive and constructive words?

A. Eyeball B. Kindness C. Bones D. Sympathy

If a disaster strikes and sacrificing 10,000 ordinary citizens can save the life of one high-level Card Master, should it be carried out?"
