Super Warriors: Battle with Cards

Chapter Fifteen: Illusion Card Advertisement

To witness illusion card advertisements, the best place to go was the bustling commercial street of East Merchant Wei City—Golden Street.

Golden Street was one of the oldest streets in East Merchant Wei City, existing since the city's establishment, and now it had become the commercial center of the entire city. With towering buildings, bustling crowds, and shops everywhere, almost all the top businesses had their stores here. It was the perfect place to investigate illusion cards.

Even the smallest shops on this street had illusion card advertisements, especially at night when the beautiful glow emitted by the illusion card advertisements made it seem like a world from fairy tales. The night view of Golden Street was beloved by both locals and tourists.

Upon careful consideration, however, Chen Mu was astonished to realize that this seemed to be his first time on Golden Street.

As one of the local landmarks, Golden Street did not allow wanderers and beggars to enter. And in the time that followed, Chen Mu had been immersed in studying cards, and shopping was never part of his schedule.

So many people!

That was Chen Mu's first impression upon entering Golden Street. The crowds surged, and one had to be careful while walking to avoid colliding with others. This made him a bit uncomfortable.

But he quickly turned his attention to the illusion card advertisements on the surrounding storefronts.

Plump breasts, slender waist, round hips, bright eyes, white teeth, and red lips, alluring gazes inviting one to speak but holding back. What puzzled Chen Mu was that the most common illusions he saw on the advertisements were of beautiful women. These women stood gracefully or bent over in inviting poses, their cleavages subtly revealed, their expressions enticing.

He even saw many pedestrians intentionally or unintentionally brushing their hands across the breasts of these illusionary women as they walked past.

Chen Mu was speechless. Was this a trend now?

He continued walking forward, passing by those illusion card advertisements featuring women. However, he quickly noticed that the larger the business, the more creative and exquisite their illusion card advertisements were.

For example, the illusion card advertisement he was looking at now. The illusion it emitted was very large, about two stories high.

Chen Mu stood dumbfounded at the entrance of this mall, looking up at the illusion emitted by the advertisement board, completely absorbed.

Looking down from the city's night sky, the towering skyscrapers shone brilliantly.

A stern-looking man in black stood at the top of a tall building, gazing ahead with indifference.

In a dark alley corner, a blind man seemed to raise his head perceptively, his empty eyes pointing straight to the empty sky.

Moonlight filled the room as a woman in a tight brown leather outfit gently wiped the card in her hand, suddenly raising her head.

Faces, mature or young, beautiful or ugly, flashed constantly.

And at this moment, the music suddenly became tense. Looking down from the sky, black shadows leaped between the tall buildings, their movements agile. Their faces were solemn, and the dense drumbeats made one's heart tighten.

More and more people rushed toward the same direction at a rapid pace.

Roar!

A roar of a beast that Chen Mu had never heard before, a deep and powerful roar, reverberated in the surroundings. As if in response to this roar, the earth-shattering roar of wild beasts rushed toward them like a giant wave.

Outside the city, wild beasts rushed towards them like a flood.

The people who were running desperately became even faster.

Finally, the two sides collided!

Blazing fire dragons, cold moon-shaped blades, dazzling meteor showers...

They appeared one after another in this space, with complex and unpredictable changes in color and light, dazzling the eyes. The intense collision sent countless shards of light flying, illuminating the night. The battle was so intense that it was almost suffocating.

A blazing fire dragon danced around the man in black, his every attack filled with momentum, sometimes accompanied by explosions, making him appear like a war god.

The woman in the brown leather outfit dodged the beast's attacks with agility, while the blue-white moon-shaped blades she continuously slashed out never missed, appearing incredibly handsome.

The blind man shuttled between the beasts like a ghost, tapping his bamboo cane lightly on the ground. Each time the bamboo cane lightly tapped, hundreds of points of light would appear out of thin air behind him. With another light tap, these points of light would whistle towards a certain direction, piercing through the beasts and leaving long tails of light in the night sky, like a meteor shower.

...

There was no doubt that humans eventually emerged victorious in the battle. But the final close-up shot was on the cards in the hands of these heroes, the logo of this store—Double Ring Card Shop.

Absolutely dazzling!

Chen Mu couldn't help but marvel. It was apparent that the level of this illusion card advertisement was not very high, and it was only a two-star advertisement. But its content was extremely rich, and the characters and buildings in the illusion were incredibly lifelike. What was most commendable was the strong visual impact of its special effects.

This was a very successful illusion card advertisement board, very attractive!

Chen Mu could guess that illusion card advertisements like this must be very expensive. Although this illusion card advertisement board was not very high-level, its production difficulty was quite high. Its content was very rich, and a two-star illusion card could not accommodate so much content. It must contain at least five illusion cards, but the seamless connection between them was almost impossible to discern without being a card maker.

There were indeed many talented people in this world! To achieve such a level with a two-star illusion card was not something everyone could do. At least Chen Mu knew that he was far from reaching this level. This experience was quite eye-opening.

The card seller at Double Ring Card Shop was puzzled. The person at the entrance had been standing there for half an hour, seemingly watching the illusion card advertisement board. This advertisement board

was made at great expense two years ago and caused a sensation throughout East Merchant Wei City when it was first released. Thinking back to the glory of that year, she still felt proud. Every day, there would be crowds of people gathered around the entrance, all there to see this advertisement. It was also from that year that the turnover of the store immediately began to increase at an astonishing rate.

But no matter how good an advertisement was, once it had been out for two years, people would lose interest in it. Gradually, fewer and fewer people came to see it, and now, no one would even bother. They had originally planned to replace this advertisement board, but the card maker who made this advertisement had already passed away, and they had also tried several other famous card makers, but the effects were far from this one, so they had been unable to replace it. The girl sighed; it was rare that someone still showed interest in this advertisement board.

After a while, the strange young man was still staring at the illusion card advertisement board. The card seller at the door felt that if someone stood there for too long, it would affect business, so she decided to take the initiative.

"Hello, may I help you with something?"

Chen Mu snapped out of his trance, shook his head, and replied, "No, thank you." He understood what the card seller meant and didn't say anything else, turning around and leaving.
