Meeting Jiang Mingyue Again

Su Li continued testing cards like Blood Wolf and Ice Blue Shield, and the final test results showed that his compatibility reached 80 for all of them.

He let out a heavy breath. The starting compatibility for the cards he used was actually 80 across the board!

This was too shocking. If he reported this to Third High School, he would be immediately identified as a top-tier genius and might even gain the attention of the entire Card Master society.

This was related to his mysterious ability. Su Li made a decision: he could appropriately become a "genius," but the ability to enter the Card World to perform card enhancement—a power that subverted the Card Master worldview—must absolutely not be exposed.

He had seen many dark news stories in corners of the internet, such as a legendary Card Master born with a Supreme Card Bone who was secretly exploited by his own clansmen in childhood, or mysterious groups capturing Card Masters with special constitutions for inhumane scientific research.

Taking a deep breath, Su Li put his cards away and left the Many Cards Building.

He headed toward the Card Master Alliance; he wanted to complete his certification as a Card Enhancer today!

Once he obtained the status of a Card Enhancer, Su Li would be able to accept some card enhancement tasks to earn funds, while also masking his own abilities to a certain extent.

"Damn it, I'm actually a failure!" At the entrance of the Card Master Alliance Building, a young man punched the wall.

Some card apprentices who failed to condense their Spirit Jade in time after turning eighteen would continue to try after graduating from high school, and at this point, they needed to come to the Card Master Alliance to certify as Card Masters.

The beautiful black-haired woman at the entrance was already numb to this. How could she not be unwilling herself? But one still had to face life positively.

Seeing Su Li arrive, she smiled. "Respected Card Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I want to undergo certification as a Card Enhancer," Su Li said.

The black-haired woman's expression became even more respectful. She bowed slightly and then led the way for Su Li.

Certification as a Card Enhancer required a fee of 30,000, as it involved the consumption of cards. This was also to prevent ignorant Card Masters from coming to cause trouble with a "let's just try it" mentality.

After paying the certification fee, Su Li arrived at the certification hall, but he unexpectedly saw Card Master Yan Mo, the dean of students at Third High School.

"Student Su Li?" Yan Mo had a deep impression of Su Li. Hanging the little princess of a Beast Taming Family on a tree had caused quite a stir, and he was the one who personally took charge of the injured Card Masters.

"Teacher Yan Mo." Su Li bowed slightly in greeting.

"You want to undergo certification as an Enhancer?" Card Master Yan Mo was a bit surprised. He would occasionally browse the Third High School forum, where someone had listed Su Li's information; he hadn't been prominent before, and had even lacked a sense of presence.

"Yes," Su Li explained. "I looked up information on Enhancers, and it aligns with the peculiarities of my Spirit Jade. I have also performed tests on my own."

It was rumored that while Card Master Yan Mo was a powerful Card Master, he was also a distinguished Card Enhancer.

"Good, very good." Card Master Yan Mo was quite pleased.

The Enhancer hall was very quiet because there were few people. Card Master Yan Mo smiled. "Su Li, you still have one chance to draw a random card. If the certification is successful, the school will reward you with another one."

"Thank you, teacher." Su Li smiled. The teaching staff at Third High School was quite strong, and they wouldn't be stingy when it mattered.

Just then, a door deep within the certification hall suddenly opened, and a familiar figure slowly revealed herself.

"Jiang Mingyue?" Su Li was surprised. This girl was actually an Enhancer too?

With her familiar long black-stockinged legs, Jiang Mingyue wore a black leather jacket, leather shorts, and black high boots. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and delicate features, with a stunning figure.

"Su Li?" Jiang Mingyue clearly noticed Su Li; she had also learned about him through the forum.

Su Li thought for a moment and still greeted her.

Jiang Mingyue was expressionless and somewhat cold, her gaze sharp. She had only gone out twice recently: the first time she appeared at the library, she ran into Su Li, and then met him again in the Forest of Blood. The second time she came to the Card Master Alliance Building to certify as an Enhancer, she ran into him again. It was hard for her not to suspect that Su Li was tracking her movements.

At this moment, she had already equated Su Li with those men who pursued her.

Although you saved me once, that card was enough to repay you. Third High School must have had full surveillance in the depths of the forest; at most, I was just embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mingyue still maintained politeness, greeted Card Master Yan Mo and Su Li, and then left.

Su Li always felt the other party's gaze was strange. He touched his chin. It couldn't be because I took a couple of extra looks at her black stockings, right?

I'm not one of those ridiculously righteous male leads in web novels who, in the midst of a romantic scene with the heroine, always has a clear and pure gaze without any impure thoughts.

My 2D waifu is still the best.

Card Master Yan Mo saw this and smiled, patted Su Li on the shoulder, and then turned to leave as well.

Su Li arrived at the workstation, and the staff member said:

"Respected Card Master, certification as an Enhancer requires you to temporarily deposit all the cards you have on you with us, and then undergo a card scan."

Su Li nodded. The certification for a Card Enhancer was very strict and highly authoritative.

The dignified Card Master Alliance wouldn't covet the cards of a small Bronze Tier Card Master. After Su Li deposited his card box, he passed through the security gate. Red light scanned his entire body, and no abnormalities appeared.

"Respected Card Master, please this way." The woman in a small suit and white gloves bowed slightly and pointed the way.

"Card Master, certification as an Enhancer requires three consecutive successful enhancements. In the three rooms you are about to enter, each room contains 100 Bronze Tier One cards.

Among them, every card has been appraised by our professional Card Enhancers and can be fused with 3 to 4 of the other 99 cards. Only by succeeding in three consecutive enhancements can you truly be certified in the profession of Card Enhancer."

The staff member explained carefully to Su Li.

Su Li nodded. The conditions were very strict. Relying on luck alone, it would be difficult to pass this certification; only a true Enhancer could succeed three times in a row.

"Are there further gradings?" Su Li asked.

The staff member smiled. "Each card has at least three fusion options. According to our Enhancers' appraisals, they are also divided into three grades: excellent, ordinary, and inferior. The three results are divided into a total of nine grades.

Due to the special nature of Enhancers, after the certification is completed, you can choose whether or not to disclose your rating.

If your rating is very high, perhaps you will receive invitations from many major powers."

Su Li nodded. A Card Enhancer, due to the mutation of their Spirit Jade, could at worst cultivate to the Silver Tier. Major powers and large enterprises might not look at them, but they were definitely highly sought after in society.

He had already arrived in front of the door.

"Respected Card Master, there will be no surveillance measures inside the room. If the enhancement fails, please do not continue, otherwise, the extra losses will be borne by you personally," the staff member reminded.

The existence of surveillance would cause the Spirit Jade to constantly alert, affecting the Card Master's performance. Having staff present would also put pressure on the Card Master, so the Enhancer certification provided the best possible environment for enhancement.
