Inside Valley Nest, Chen Mu was the only person left in the vast warehouse, surrounded by mountains of parts.
In front of him lay the many unfinished products of his experiments over the past few days. So far, however, not a single one had been a success. His skill with metal machinery was really only average, and even that was thanks to Alfonso.
If Alfonso were here, he could surely put all these things to use. Looking at the ugly, half-finished products before him, Chen Mu could not help smiling wryly.
He lay back casually among the parts, feeling unusually relaxed. He liked the life he had been living lately. There was nothing he enjoyed more than tinkering and research like this.
As his thoughts wandered, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth slowly lifted. He recalled the days when he and Lei Zi had made Card Films together. Those really were wonderful times! I wonder how Lei Zi is doing? His thoughts drifted freely. He had no ambition, no grand aspirations. How wonderful it would be to live a simple life like before!
His dream had only ever been to become a Card Crafter.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He felt he had vaguely grasped something crucial! He shot upright. Beneath his disheveled hair, his eyes, like a river of stars, shone with extraordinary brilliance!
A Card Crafter! Right, how could I forget that I'm a Card Crafter? These parts are nothing more than lifeless objects. They might seem incompatible, but that's only because I haven't found the right method. What is the soul of a piece of card machinery? The cards inside it!
Why can't I design cards around the characteristics of these parts?
Once that thought clicked into place, everything suddenly opened up before Chen Mu.
