Back in his room, Chen Mu could not help thinking about where to go from here. Judging by what he had learned today, the gulf between low and high levels was enormous. If he wanted to get by here with a shallow knowledge base, life would undoubtedly be miserable.
Although Chen Mu was already accustomed to a miserable life, his passion for card crafting far surpassed that of ordinary people. Especially when he saw those precious, rare materials, he sometimes felt his breathing almost stop.
Without contribution points, those materials were flowers in a mirror, a moon reflected in water-something he could look at but never use.
In this place, advancing without contribution points would undoubtedly be extremely difficult. Whether he wanted guidance from someone or materials and equipment, everything required contribution points.
From the commissions he had browsed today, he could tell that the cards involved averaged four stars. He still had to complete an additional two hundred cards, and he believed most of those would certainly be four-star or higher, with some even above four stars.
