Help Me Make a Cut!

Time flew by in the Card World. The three Human-Faced Willow Trees continued devouring the flesh and blood within the forest. At last, one Human-Faced Willow Tree entered the forest of another.

The two encountered each other and immediately began fighting fiercely. Even though they were of the same species, they still wanted to devour one another!

One Human-Faced Willow Tree emerged victorious, absorbing the loser as nourishment and evolving. It then swept through the entire forest, devouring everything as it advanced in tier.

Time rapidly passed once more. The remaining two met, and a final victor was decided.

These creatures possessed nothing but a pure desire for bloodsucking. The Card World's evolution was rather monotonous.

With that, the Card World's evolution came to an end.

Three Bronze Tier Four [Human-Faced Willow Tree] cards fused together, ultimately leaping three tiers to become a Bronze Tier Seven [Face Willow King]!

Mystery Energy flowed back into him, increasing Su Li's Silver Tier coverage by another two points, bringing it to twenty-four. Since the cards had fused directly and evolved automatically, the Mystery Energy gained was limited.

By now, Su Li had two Bronze Tier Seven cards in hand, both [Face Willow King].

Su Li checked the enhancement options.

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

① A low-level lifeform cultivated by vampires, it is very interested in a vampire's heart.

② Forest Breath can cause plants to evolve. Set out and find it.

③ Fuse with [Vampire Girl - Grantis] to gain new power.

④ If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle will be born.

He could not continue enhancing it. [Face Willow King] was a Bronze Tier Seven card. If Su Li rashly entered the Card World with his current strength, it would be too dangerous.

At that moment, his landlord came knocking, expressionless as he said:

"You should pay your rent."

Su Li checked his balance. Three.

He had spent quite a bit on meals these past few days, and the cards on him had yet to be converted into cash.

So he was kicked out of his rental.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river." Su Li stood downstairs and clenched his fists.

He did not have much luggage. One backpack and two suitcases were enough, while some old belongings were simply thrown away.

After more than ten minutes of haggling, Su Li stored his luggage for a rental fee of three yuan.

There were many places that bought cards. By this point, the Card Master Alliance had developed countless businesses, large and small. The larger chambers of commerce included Card Hunt, Many Cards, and Card East, while the Alliance itself had also established card trading halls.

Compared to the official card trading halls, private businesses often held promotions. For instance, the recently fast-rising Many Cards was directly funding a Tens-of-Billions Subsidy. Whether selling or buying cards, customers could enjoy significant discounts.

After weighing his options, Su Li chose Many Cards.

These card companies were so large that they had spread to nearly every human city. Some major cities even had several branches.

Su Li soon arrived at the Many Cards Building. Two black-haired beauties in formal greeter uniforms stood at the entrance, smiling.

"Welcome!"

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" After he entered, a black-haired girl came up to greet him.

"I want to sell cards," Su Li said.

He was led into a room, where he handed his two [Face Willow King] cards to the black-haired girl.

"Ah!" The black-haired girl was startled by the grinning human faces. Her professionalism allowed her to quickly compose herself, and she apologized. "Sorry, esteemed Card Master. Please wait a moment."

Su Li felt slightly dazed. Before he knew it, he had become a respected Card Master.

This world had clearly divided people into two categories. One consisted of Card Masters who successfully condensed Spirit Jade after turning eighteen. The other consisted of ordinary people who could not condense Spirit Jade no matter what they did. They also had a rather insulting name—Madans!

Without question, Card Masters held a much higher social status than Madans, because they utterly surpassed them at the level of life itself. In a world of martial power, the strong were bound to decide everything.

The value of cards still needed to be assessed. Cards of the same tier could have different values. This was tied to factors such as a card's type, skills, appearance, rarity, and even whether someone urgently needed to purchase it.

The two [Face Willow King] cards Su Li was selling were likely worth less than normal Bronze Tier Seven cards. After all, they were not particularly useful, and they were damn ugly too.

He opened Douyin and browsed the internet to catch up on recent events.

He found the biggest headline of the day: early that morning, the Card Master Alliance had announced a method for detecting the degree of connection between Card Masters and their cards.

This was an enormous technological breakthrough. In the past, the connection between the two could only be judged through the vague feeling Card Masters experienced when using their cards.

The principle was that when a Card Master used a card, their spiritual power came into contact with it and produced a peculiar frequency. The Card Master Alliance's scientists had targeted this issue, and after decades of research, they had finally created an instrument capable of detecting the frequency's intensity.

The manufacturing cost of this detector was very low, making widespread adoption entirely feasible. It had already entered mass production.

The moment this information was released, it sparked nationwide attention and rapidly claimed the top spot on the trending list.

Su Li really wanted to test it. The moment he obtained [Vampire Girl - Grantis], he had felt that he could use her flexibly, as though they had immediately formed a deep connection.

Yet he had only been Bronze Tier Two at the time, while Grantis was a Bronze Tier Five card.

For ordinary Card Masters, using cards above their tier was already difficult. And he had only just obtained her—normally, even summoning such a card would be hard.

Su Li guessed it was most likely related to his mysterious ability.

The connection between Card Masters and cards was very important. It could break through tier limitations, conserve spiritual power as much as possible, and also affected subsequent control and commands.

At that moment, the black-haired girl returned and said respectfully:

"Esteemed Card Master, your two [Face Willow King] cards are both high-tier Bronze Tier Seven cards. After evaluation, each is valued at 200,000 yuan. In addition, our Many Cards official store will provide a 10,000-yuan subsidy. Would you consider selling them?"

Su Li was very satisfied. Ordinary Bronze Tier Seven cards were worth between 200,000 and 300,000 yuan, but cards like [Face Willow King] would certainly sell below market price. Su Li's expected price had been around 180,000 yuan.

Many Cards was offering 200,000 yuan each. Most likely, some Card Master urgently needed similar cards to assemble a deck.

There was also a 10,000-yuan subsidy. Su Li was delighted.

"I agree to sell them," Su Li said.

410,000 yuan immediately arrived in his account. Su Li deeply felt the gap between Card Masters and Madans. Before becoming a Card Master, he had worked himself to the bone. After food and housing expenses, even buying a [Destitute Girl] had been difficult. Yet in such a short time, he had unexpectedly acquired this enormous sum.

Of course, this had much to do with his mysterious ability. Low-tier Card Masters did not necessarily make money faster than Madans. For example, that Unclog the Toilet Bro had probably only just managed to gather a Bronze Tier One card by now.

"I also need to buy some cards," Su Li said.

The black-haired girl brought him a tablet and said:

"Esteemed Card Master, you may search for and purchase the items you need in our marketplace. Many Cards also supports shopping from home, with delivery within one hour in the same city.

"At the same time, if you share an invitation and ask others to help you with a One-Cut Promotion, you can receive up to 1,000 yuan in shopping vouchers. We also have regular cash withdrawal events, so please keep an eye on them~"

Su Li nodded, then thought about it. He did not have any friends at all! Back when he had been a Madan, he had been busy with school and work every day. He was only somewhat familiar with a few classmates, but he had not added any of their contact information.

His landlord? Forget it, he had just been kicked out! His boss at the part-time job? He had disappeared without a word for several days.

"Esteemed Card Master, Many Cards has recently launched a new event. Invite one user to make a cut, and you can receive a random shopping voucher worth at least one yuan and up to 8,000 yuan!" the black-haired girl introduced.

Holy shit! 8,000 yuan!

Su Li, who had only just become rich, was instantly shocked.

It was too tempting.

"New users make bigger cuts!" the black-haired girl continued enticing him.

Su Li pondered for a while, then took out his phone and found Bai Moxue's text messages.

"Are you there?" Su Li typed.

Bai Moxue quickly replied, "Su Li? Where are you? I want to see you!"

The little girl held quite a grudge.

Su Li typed, "Sure, but you have to help me with something first."

Bai Moxue replied instantly, "Okay. Tell me, what is it?"

Su Li was overjoyed and immediately typed:

"Help me make a cut!"

"???" Bai Moxue sent three question marks.

Su Li grew even more excited. A new user!

His fingers flew over the screen as he explained the whole situation to Bai Moxue.

A long time passed, and Su Li became a little anxious. Why had she not replied?

Then his phone lit up.

"Okay," Bai Moxue replied.

"Esteemed Card Master, your friend needs to download the Many Cards app here, then... yes, you can initiate the share from your end." The black-haired girl patiently guided him.

Bai Moxue endured the humiliation, suppressing the urge to slash Su Li with a knife, and downloaded Many Cards as he instructed before helping him make a cut.

"It's done," the black-haired girl said.

A voucher-drawing wheel appeared on Su Li's phone, and he immediately tapped it.

In the end, the pointer landed on 5.8 yuan. Su Li's face darkened. He had been scammed! It even said that if he continued inviting two more people, he could keep accumulating rewards.

I believe you, my ass!

"Tomorrow morning at eight, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of Third High School!" Bai Moxue sent another text. Su Li did not even open it and simply turned off his phone.

After sending the black-haired girl outside, Su Li did not immediately begin selecting cards. Instead, he took out the [Vampire Girl - Grantis] card.

Su Miaohan had an option related to equipment requirements. He wanted to see whether Grantis had one too.

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

① Grantis, who was just turned into a servant by Baron Carlos, is mentally extremely unstable. Help her find herself again!

② A newborn vampire is completely unable to resist the scorching sunlight. An exquisite parasol seems to suit Grantis's style.

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

After giving it some thought, Su Li entered the Many Cards Marketplace.
