Super Warriors: Battle with Cards

Section 3：Training Class

Over five hundred years ago, the founder of card theory, Rosenborg, first proposed the theory of cards and successfully made the first card. Since then, after more than five hundred years of development, all kinds of cards have emerged one after another. Before that, primitive forms of cards were widely present in various religions, where they were considered a kind of non-natural force. Even now, some religions still have many highly skilled card makers and card artisans, whose origins even predate the time of Rosenborg. In this regard, their heritage is even more mysterious and unknown.

But it was Rosenborg's sudden appearance that completely shattered the mysterious aura surrounding the card system. He systematically studied and expounded the structure of cards and invented many cards, like today's energy cards, whose standard structure was first proposed by Rosenborg. The mysterious aura surrounding the cards was completely shattered, and cardiology became a new discipline.

About three hundred years ago, another great card maker, Haina Vincent, brought the development of cards into a golden age. And the year of Haina Vincent's birth happened to be two hundred years after Rosenborg officially proposed the theory of cards. These two greatest card makers in the past five hundred years seemed to be responding in this way.

The era in which Haina Vincent lived was an era of heroes. During that hundred years, countless cards were invented by many talented card makers. As a great card maker on par with Rosenborg, Haina Vincent led the invention of as many as ninety-seven cards. During that period, many famous card makers emerged, such as Luoqi, Chemosey, and so on.

After so many years of development, cardiology today is vastly different from five hundred years ago. The entire discipline has become more detailed, with numerous branches, and research has become increasingly profound.

With the normal establishment of diplomatic relations between the Mohadi Domain and the Baiyuan Prefecture, the card theory of the Tianyou Federation has been introduced to both domains, and outstanding figures from both domains have quickly absorbed it. They have developed unique card theories suitable for their respective domains based on their characteristics. As a result, the card theory system has been further supplemented and expanded, and new cards are emerging endlessly. It was a glorious era, an era that countless people deeply longed for.

With the continuous development of the card theory system and the emergence of various strange cards, the classification of card types has become increasingly difficult. So far, there is still no authoritative classification method.

However, if you want to know the function of a card, there is a most direct and simplest method, and that is to use it!

Using a card requires the use of a degree gauge. Coincidentally, the degree gauge was also invented by Rosenborg, the founder of card theory, and was perfected by Haina Vincent. Although today's degree gauge is becoming more sophisticated and has many auxiliary functions, such as Chen Mu's degree gauge with a searchlight, its core remains unchanged.

From the outside, the degree gauge is a rectangular box with three straps that can be fastened to the arm. At the top of the degree gauge is a card slot for using cards. Generally, a degree gauge has at least two card slots, and the number of advanced card slots is greater. One of the two card slots is used for basic cards like energy cards, while the other slot is used for the card the user wants to use. In essence, the degree gauge is a device that connects energy cards and other cards, with energy cards providing energy to activate the cards and achieve their intended use.

Chen Mu's degree gauge is certainly not a high-end item. What high-end item can you buy for just over two hundred Oudis? Chen Mu rarely uses this widely used item.

Without hesitation, he inserted the card into the slot on the top of the degree gauge and inserted an unused one-star energy card into the slot below. After completing all of this, Chen Mu took a deep breath and then pressed the activation button on the surface of the degree gauge.

"Drip!"

Suddenly, a semi-transparent screen appeared, with a line of text on it.

"The energy card does not meet the specifications. Please use a three-star or higher energy card!"

A three-star energy card! It actually requires a three-star or higher energy card! Chen Mu, with a surprised expression on his face, was already sure that this card was a genuine high-level card. Generally, the higher the level of the card, the higher the requirement for the energy card's level, and the faster the energy consumption. Chen Mu knew this common sense.

But now Chen Mu was in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't have a three-star energy card, and if he wanted to know what kind of card this was, he would have to buy a three-star energy card. However, the price of a three-star energy card is not a small amount!

The energy capacity of a one-star energy card is one hundred cards, a two-star energy card is one thousand cards, and a three-star energy card has a capacity of up to ten thousand cards.

The unified retail price of a one-star energy card is one hundred and ten Oudis, which means that the average energy per card is one point one Oudi. The price of a two-star energy card is twelve hundred and fifty Oudis, which means that the average energy per card requires one point two five Oudis. The selling price of a three-star energy card is as high as fifteen thousand Oudis, which means that the average energy per point requires one point five Oudis.

That's why one-star energy cards have the widest range of use, after all, there are still the most poor people in the world.

In the past three years, he has been frugal in his daily life and worked day and night, and his total assets are only eighty thousand Oudis. To suddenly come up with fifteen thousand Oudis, he felt very hesitant. Having experienced a life of wandering since childhood, he values money more than the average person because he knows it is the most basic necessity of life.

After hesitating for a long time, reason finally prevailed over impulse, and Chen Mu decided to put it off for a while. He also didn't throw away the two thin films attached to the card, but kept them as a collection.

Life returned to normal, but Chen Mu developed a habit. Every day, he couldn't help but play with this card in his hand. Every time he looked at this card, he would immerse himself in its complex and perfect patterns.

But life had to go on, and during this time, he had achieved something. He successfully incorporated the compression structure of the return shape into his own structure in another one-star energy card with a different structure, which reduced the cost of making one-star energy cards by another two Oudis. In other words, he now earns fifty more Oudis a day than before.

It can be said that the structure and standard structure of the one-star energy card he now produces have quite a difference, but if you don't look carefully, it's hard to tell. But who would carefully study a one-star energy card just bought?

The last time Uncle Hua gave him that attendance certificate, he took it out according to the date, which is today.

The training class was held in a building next to the Dongwei Academy. Originally, Chen Mu thought there wouldn't be many people attending, but when he walked into the classroom,

he found it was noisy inside. Sitting inside were young men and women, who naturally formed groups quickly, chatting and laughing in groups, playing happily.

Chen Mu randomly found a seat near the window and sat down. Many years of wandering life had given Chen Mu some insights into human nature. With just a quick glance, he understood that these people probably all came from ordinary families. It made sense, too; if their families had money, why would they send their children to such a low-level training class? They would send them to the Dongwei Academy.

Looking at the Dongwei Academy just a wall away through the window, the playground of the Dongwei Academy was clearly visible. Neat and clean uniforms, confident smiles, polite greetings to each other—the demeanor of the Dongwei Academy students was refreshing.

For some reason, Chen Mu felt a little uncomfortable, and a hint of bitterness rose in his heart. He withdrew his gaze and sat still for a while, before coming to himself and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What was wrong with him? Three years ago, he probably couldn't even dream of living such a life, and now, what else was he dissatisfied with? He silently reminded himself to be content; he was already very lucky!

Having realized this, Chen Mu cast his gaze back to the Dongwei Academy. There was still a hint of envy in his eyes, but it was unusually calm.

Just then, the teacher walked into the classroom, and the classroom immediately quieted down.

The teacher was a young man in his twenties named Jia Ming. He had an average appearance, but his eloquence was very sharp. At the beginning, he said a lot, claiming that he was a direct disciple of Professor Jia Zilin of the Dongwei Academy and that they had a partnership with the Dongwei Academy. He said that finding a job after graduation would be a very simple matter for everyone. Such boasting and encouragement made the students below light up with enthusiasm.

But Chen Mu furrowed his brows and listened intently. Having spent three years self-studying, he had read more than a hundred basic books, many of which he was very familiar with. He even knew that what Jia Ming was now reciting was the universally used "Introduction to Basic Card Theory" written by Wang Jing in the 4th edition.

He had read this book more than ten times, but due to his poor foundation, there were still some areas that he didn't understand very well.

Soon he focused his mind on listening.
