Super Warriors: Battle with Cards

Chapter Ten: Enigma

Fifteen thousand Eddies, hmm, looking at this strange card, Chen Mu couldn't make up his mind. With the constraint of making a one-star illusion card, which had been his long-standing wish, gone, a strong curiosity attracted him, causing the balance in his heart to quickly tip towards this card.

Decided! Chen Mu made up his mind, he could always earn it back in a few more months if necessary.

With his determination made, Chen Mu no longer hesitated and went out to buy a three-star energy card.

Once again hitting the streets, Chen Mu's mood was completely different from the last time he went out to soak up the sun.

The sky was filled with shuttle cars, their tailstreams barely audible. Shuttle cars were expensive, naturally not something Chen Mu could afford. The core component of a shuttle car was a card capable of generating high-speed airflow. This high-speed airflow, passing through the special structure inside the shuttle, generated tremendous thrust. Skilled card repairers didn't even need shuttle cars; they could manipulate this airflow card flexibly to achieve flight, with faster speeds and greater flexibility.

Unable to afford a shuttle car or manipulate an airflow card, Chen Mu had no choice but to walk on his own two legs.

Three-star energy cards could only be bought at relatively high-end stores, as they were not cheap commodities. It was Chen Mu's first time entering such a high-end card shop, with its shiny, smooth floors and a faint, refreshing scent lingering in the air. Inside glass display cases, various high-level cards were placed on red velvet, each card accompanied by detailed explanations.

The beautiful and elegant card saleswoman, dressed in neat uniform, greeted with a charming smile. "Hello, may I help you with anything?" The card saleswoman didn't show the slightest disdain for Chen Mu's untidy appearance; they all had extremely good professional ethics. They were used to the world outside, where many inconspicuous-looking people would often spend lavishly here. Not all wealthy people cared about their appearance. And scholars who were devoted to their research and didn't care about appearances were even more common.

"Three-star energy card," Chen Mu didn't beat around the bush.

Indeed, a wealthy person! The card saleswoman secretly rejoiced; a three-star energy card cost fifteen thousand Eddies, and today's performance just hit the mark.

Chen Mu never dragged his feet when making a decision; once decided, he wouldn't do anything else he didn't want to. He also paid very generously. This further convinced the card saleswoman that the man in front of her was a wealthy individual.

"Is there anything else you need, sir? We have everything here, and we have the most complete variety of cards in the city. If the card you need isn't available here, we can help you place an order and have it specially made by a high-level card maker with whom we have business contacts," the card saleswoman enthusiastically promoted.

The dazzling array of various high-level cards almost blinded Chen Mu's eyes. Swallowing his saliva, he shook his head. "No need, the card I need isn't here."

Exiting the shop, the cold air outside immediately cleared Chen Mu's mind. Standing still for a moment, he suddenly laughed. It seemed that he indeed had poor resistance; these cards had dazzled him. Discarding these unrealistic thoughts from his mind, he remembered the mysterious card still at home, and his heart suddenly warmed with intense curiosity, urging him to dash away.

Running all the way, Chen Mu gasped for breath as he opened the door and entered his room.

The questions about this mysterious card had always lingered in Chen Mu's mind. It had undergone extremely realistic disguise processing; what kind of card needed such a disguise? And what was the purpose of its disguise? Even the two layers of disguise were master-level techniques; whose handiwork could they be?

All these mysteries were enough to tickle anyone's curiosity, but the most peculiar thing was not all this. The most peculiar thing about this mysterious card was that overnight, the patterns on its surface had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Chen Mu had never heard of any card whose patterns could change. Once the patterns on a card were formed, they were extremely solid, and the cohesion between the materials was irreversible. This cohesion force was extremely powerful; even time, an irresistible force, could only gradually loosen and peel it off, but it couldn't rearrange it into another form.

If this card was really the work of someone, then they must have an extraordinary and awe-inspiring skill!

All these mysteries, like countless little bugs, made Chen Mu itch unbearably.

Now, it was finally time to unravel this mystery! Chen Mu was excited.

Picking up the mysterious card on the table, he gently rubbed the surface with his palm, and with a deft flip of his fingers, the card was inserted into the slot of the meter. Immediately, Chen Mu quickly inserted a three-star energy card into the meter's other slot.

Without hesitation, he pressed the activation button.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and Chen Mu felt as if he had suddenly arrived in a completely unfamiliar space. What an amazing illusion card! The astonishment in Chen Mu's heart couldn't be expressed in words! He never thought that illusion cards could reach such a level; this was truly "as real as illusion"! This was definitely a very advanced illusion card! Chen Mu had never

expected to encounter such an advanced illusion card; although he knew that everything he saw in front of him was fake, his complexion still changed. This card completely cut off his connection with the surrounding environment.

Around him, there was only boundless darkness, and he felt as if he were floating alone in the endless void.

"Step one, please complete the following eighteen actions." Suddenly, an old voice rang in Chen Mu's ears. It seemed to be speaking directly into his ear, not loud, but very clear. Chen Mu couldn't help turning his head to look back, but all he saw was still the boundless black void, with nothing else.

As soon as the voice fell, eighteen humanoid figures suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu. These figures had blurry faces, but their bodies were perfect. They kept repeating their actions over and over again. There were eighteen humanoid figures, each performing a different action, some of which were extremely strange.

Suppressing his astonishment, Chen Mu began to carefully observe the movements of these figures. He focused his gaze on one of the humanoid figures, and suddenly a large pile of text appeared beside this figure. Chen Mu quickly read through the text. It turned out that these texts were detailed explanations of the actions and some points to note for this particular movement.

After reading it, Chen Mu began to try to follow the movements of these humanoid figures.
