Special Plant Cards

Zhang Zhi was shocked when he heard Li Yuan's words!

Li Yuan nodded at Zhang Zhi. "That's right. Sounds a little absurd, doesn't it?"

"Actually, it isn't a secret within the family."

"Many times, the reason a Small World cannot advance is that it lacks enough outstanding people capable of 'breaking through the realm'—in other words, breaking through the restrictions on the Small World's level. As a result, the entire Small World remains unable to advance."

"At the same time, if the lifeforms within any Small World perish in large numbers over an extremely short period, or if it encounters a World-Ending Crisis, it is highly likely that existences similar to a Destined Hero, World Artifact, or Acquired Spirit Item will emerge to save the world."

"That Beastman Path big shot figured that since he didn't have much time left anyway, he might as well take a gamble. If a Destined Hero-like existence appeared in the Small World, perhaps the Small World would advance because of it."

"If it were a Small World Artifact or an Acquired Spirit Item, separating it from the world and turning it into a card would also count as an enormous fortune left for future generations."

"That Beastman Path big shot had suffered severe injuries before and wouldn't live for more than a few years. He felt that if he didn't take a gamble now, he would never have the chance again."

"That was why there were no Beastman Cards circulating on the market."

Only after hearing this did Zhang Zhi understand how important outstanding talents within a Small World were to a Master of the World.

At the same time, he learned for the first time just how difficult it was for a world to advance!

Having exhausted his Mental Power, Zhang Zhi wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he continued chatting with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was very optimistic about Zhang Zhi's future development and deliberately sought to befriend him, telling him quite a few secrets between the various families, as well as information that was difficult to obtain on the market.

They bid each other farewell reluctantly only when the library was about to close!

...,...

The next day, after waking up and feeling that his Mental Power had mostly recovered, Zhang Zhi once again sent Mental Power into that White Card.

Five points, ten points. When he sent in the nineteenth point, the White Human Card slowly turned green.

After seeing that the number of people on the card hadn't changed, Zhang Zhi finally confirmed that sending Mental Power into a Human Card increased the talents of the humans inside it!

The average talent of the people in this Human Card, which had just advanced into a Green Card, was at least ten times higher than before!

He just didn't know whether this increase applied to all the humans in the card, or whether it was because there might be an existence similar to Fang Yun inside.

After pondering for a long while, he more or less understood the function of the Golden Finger:

Take an ordinary human, for example. If an ordinary person's talent was ten, then for various reasons, the talent they displayed might be eight, five, or even four.

Mental Power, on the other hand, could directly allow ordinary people to display all of their talent.

In other words, with the existence of the Golden Finger, there would no longer be any Lost Gems within Zhang Zhi's Small World.

Compared to the predicament of that big shot who had chosen the Beastman Path yesterday, the ability of his Golden Finger was truly heaven-defying!

He tried continuing to send Mental Power into the card, and the card could actually still absorb it!

After sending another ten points of Mental Power inside, the card could still absorb Mental Power.

Seeing that his Mental Power was about to bottom out again, Zhang Zhi stopped sending it in.

He wanted to see where the card's limit was. Could it possibly be blue?

If it really could advance to blue, there might be talents inside comparable to half of Fang Yun's ability.

Well, in Zhang Zhi's eyes, Fang Yun had already become a standard unit.

Over the next few days, Zhang Zhi became busy with his own affairs and stopped going to the library.

During these days, he gave half of his Mental Power to this Green Card every day.

He allocated the rest of his Mental Power within his sea of consciousness to enhance the talents of the humans in his other cards.

On the seventh day, after absorbing a total of 154 points of Mental Power, the card finally stopped.

Looking at this nearly Dark Green Rank Human Card, Zhang Zhi was somewhat disappointed.

Still, it was already quite impressive for a White Card to advance to this level!

As this Dark Green Rank card merged into the Small World, its population grew to 51,753.

The influx of such a large population did leave the Small World somewhat flustered at first. Fortunately, Zhang Zhi had informed Fang Yun in advance, and with sufficient food, no major mishaps occurred.

Over the past few days, Zhang Zhi had also bought quite a few Land Cards and Rice Cards from the Black Market and merged them into the Small World. Its area was now nearly 4,000 square kilometers.

After these days of purchases, he had nearly spent all the money he had extorted from the Night Shadow Gang.

After all the Human Cards in his sea of consciousness had been fully merged into the Small World, Zhang Zhi planned to first raise the ranks of the other types of cards to green before merging them into the Small World.

During these days, Zhang Zhi had also discovered an invisible rule: before merging a Plant Card, it was best to first merge the corresponding Land Card or Forest Card.

Otherwise, the Plant Card could easily become useless.

He guessed that this was probably basic knowledge, except it was likely basic knowledge taught in a Secondary Education School. He had simply developed beyond the normal curriculum.

Fortunately, he could use Mental Power to advance his cards. Otherwise, the Flat Peach Tree in the Flat Peach Forest—the one at the Mortal Transformation Realm that seemed especially unusual—might well have died.

When he discovered through the World Bead that the Flat Peach Tree was half-dead, he sensed that something was wrong. After thinking it over, he felt that the problem might lie with the Forest Card it had been planted in, so he converted a Green Forest Card.

Only after transplanting the Flat Peach Tree into the second-level mountain terrain within the Forest Card did it regain its vitality.

This confirmed to him that Mortal Transformation Realm plants had to be planted in Mortal Transformation Realm land!

This discovery made him even more interested in raising the ranks of his cards. However, when he excitedly prepared to convert his other Plant Cards into the Green Rank, he discovered that he couldn't raise them!

These Plant Cards were just like the Human Cards. Only a small portion of them could be enhanced by his Mental Power.

Was there something special about these Plant Cards?

Should he look for information in the school library? Or should he ask Li Yuan?

As he wondered whether he should go to the school library tomorrow to check if there was any information on Mortal Transformation Realm Plant Cards, or find Li Yuan to learn what was special about Plant Cards, Zhang Zhi glanced at his sea of consciousness.

Looking at the few remaining cards in his sea of consciousness, Zhang Zhi belatedly realized that in this short span of eight days, the vast majority of his cards had already been merged into the Small World.

The speed at which I refine cards seems a little abnormal.
