Tier 4 [Mental Recovery]

Su Li fell silent, his brow furrowing slightly.

All he wanted was to quietly grow stronger, yet people kept coming to cause trouble.

His battle with Bai Moxue had been far too dangerous, and Su Li's strength had already been completely exposed. If Wang Shiyu intended to target him, it would definitely be on a greater scale than this.

Annoying.

Su Li sighed softly. He had to hurry and improve his strength.

"Do you know how to quickly take on card enhancement jobs?" Su Li asked.

He had already looked into the card enhancement jobs posted by card masters at the Card Master Alliance, but the procedures were quite cumbersome and involved many steps.

At the same time, the Card Master Alliance charged handling fees from both sides. Other than being relatively secure, it had no advantages at all.

Lu Chenfeng smiled. "I know a place—the underground black market in Cool City. There are no cumbersome procedures there, and plenty of enhancement jobs. Since there are no handling fees, both buyers and sellers benefit."

"Where is the black market?" Su Li asked, waving his card master ID.

"You need someone to introduce you. It's the card master world hidden in the shadows, though it's nothing too special. Anyone with a few connections can find the entrance.

"I'm interested in the place too. When the time comes, I can have someone from my family introduce us.

"Contact me then, and we'll go together." Lu Chenfeng smiled.

"Then thank you. If you have any cards that need enhancing, you can come find me," Su Li said.

Lu Chenfeng laughed heartily. "That would be perfect."

In truth, as the son of a financial tycoon, Lu Chenfeng could easily find a higher-ranked enhancer if he wanted cards enhanced. However, he found Su Li interesting and sincerely wanted to befriend him.

"I still have some matters to handle. Contact me when the time comes," Su Li said. He and Lu Chenfeng exchanged contact information.

After the meal, Lu Chenfeng handed Su Li several cards.

"Let's follow the black market rules. Help me enhance one Bronze Rank 3 card. One card will serve as enhancement resources, and the other will be your commission."

Lu Chenfeng gave Su Li three Bronze Rank 3 cards. If he posted an enhancement job through the Card Master Alliance, he would have needed to pay at least one additional card of the same rank.

Su Li could tell that this man sincerely wanted to befriend him. Since Su Li had offered to help enhance his cards, Lu Chenfeng had shown him ample respect.

Compared to him, Wang Shiyu was simply a genuine spoiled young master from a financial tycoon family.

The two parted ways, and Su Li returned directly to his apartment building.

He first meditated to restore his mental energy.

Then he took out [Mental Recovery].

This card could be enhanced. The options were as follows:

① Fuse two cards of the same type, ranked Bronze Rank 3 or above, to obtain new power.

② Fuse three cards of different types, ranked Bronze Rank 3 or above, to obtain new power.

③ If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle may be born.

He put the card away and sighed. He still needed more cards.

Magic-type cards could not manifest a card world. His mysterious ability had revealed another enhancement option, but that would undoubtedly require a large number of cards.

If he could first enhance these useful magic-type cards, entering Grantis's vampire world would be a little safer.

However, Lu Chenfeng had revealed that Wang Shiyu was about to make a move against him, so he could only enter Grantis's card world directly. That would provide a more noticeable increase in strength.

It was only a Bronze Rank 5 card. He probably would not get himself killed over it.

Before that, though, he would help Lu Chenfeng enhance a card and treat it as practice.

He took out the three cards Lu Chenfeng had given him: one animal-type card and two magic-type cards.

Su Li had already made up his mind. He picked up the animal-type card, and enhancement options appeared in his mind.

He then entered the card world and returned a day later. The card in his hand glowed, transforming into a brand-new Bronze Rank 5 card.

The enhancement was complete.

For Su Li, cards of this type sometimes did not require resources for enhancement. He could interfere with the card world and drive its evolution forward, thereby enhancing the card.

Of course, only Su Li could use such an enhancement method.

This enhancement had earned him two Bronze Rank 3 cards!

At the same time, the mysterious power provided feedback. Su Li sat cross-legged and absorbed it, and his Silver Coverage increased by another point.

"I'm probably too late for this month's rankings," Su Li said helplessly. Otherwise, he could have gotten a free card draw.

He rented a Messenger Bird through his phone and had it deliver the card to Lu Chenfeng.

After a while, Su Li received a message from Lu Chenfeng:

"Brother Li, you're freaking awesome!"

A thumbs-up emoji followed it.

Enhancing a card required processes such as dream traversal, analysis, selecting fusion materials, and card fusion. These were affected by factors such as the card's rank and type, and some were quite time-consuming.

Su Li had finished it within a day and had even raised its rank. That was truly beyond Lu Chenfeng's expectations.

"Let's just enhance and rank up [Mental Recovery] first!" Su Li made his decision. These two Bronze Rank Three cards were not particularly useful to him, so he could discard them directly.

Thus, he fused [Mental Recovery] with the two magic-type cards.

After half a day, the enhancement was complete. The [Mental Recovery] in Su Li's hand had successfully advanced to Rank Four.

"It didn't skip a rank?" Su Li had a headache. He did not know whether there was a chance of skipping ranks; otherwise, the card consumption would be far too great.

"And there's so little mysterious energy, too." Su Li absorbed all the mysterious energy fed back to him in one breath. It did not even increase his Silver Coverage by a single point, and he even felt that he was still far from it.

Su Li vaguely formed a guess. This was most likely related to the extent of his interference in the card world.

Fortunately, [Mental Recovery] was indeed an extremely useful card. Now that it had finally advanced, Su Li was very satisfied.

This card's mental power recovery amount was fixed. As his own rank rose, if the card's rank could not keep up, it would become somewhat useless.

Only after finishing all this did Su Li prepare to enter Grantis's card world.

He drew out the card.

This card can be enhanced. The choices are as follows:

① Grantis, who had just been turned into a thrall by Baron Carlos, was in an extremely unstable mental state. Help her recover her sense of self!

② A newborn vampire was completely incapable of resisting the scorching sunlight. An exquisite parasol seemed well suited to Grantis's style.

③ If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle will be born.

Because of the first enhancement option, Su Li had never put in the card [Adele's Parasol]. Grantis was in an extremely unstable mental state, and she might attack him when he helped her recover her sense of self.

Grantis with [Adele's Parasol] possessed truly terrifying combat power.

Su Li projected himself into Grantis's card world, and an image slowly came into focus.

In the pitch-black forest, an ancient castle glowing with lights stood in the distance.
