Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain

Chapter 336 The former genius

"Hiss..." Seeing this soul card, Yu Cang couldn't help but take a breath of air.

This ability... is really simple and crude.

Although he is not as domineering as his imperial ministers, this ability is still as fake as before.

Due to the death cooldown, there is actually a certain window period for the Soul Card Master's battle. When a round of battle is over, the resources in the deck are used up, and it is difficult to condense peak abilities in a short period of time.

But for Gu Jieshuang, if the soul cards are all about the same, he only needs to play "See the Cangshan and Solve it", use the move "See the Boundless", and return to full status on the spot.

 It seems that the abilities provided by the destiny star "Wu Qu" allow Gu Jieshuang to fight without restrictions.

 Helping E Mei freed her from control, and untying her at the sight of the Cangshan Mountains freed her from the worry of running out of ammunition and food.

 With these two cards, Gu Jieshuang can concentrate on thinking about how to fully unleash her power without worrying about anything else.

 “Great soul card.” Yu Cang couldn’t help but admire.

 Speaking of which, he also has a soul card with similar abilities—Suppressing Dragon Skeleton!

The ability to suppress Dragon Skeleton is even more overbearing. As long as this soul card is on death cooldown, all soul cards cannot enter death cooldown and will be returned to the deck after use. Moreover, some additional soul energy will be provided.

Now, the richer Yu Cang's knowledge of soul cards becomes, the more he feels that this soul card is simply a work of genius.

Although it is just an epic card, he still can't figure out how this soul card was created, and the rhythm in the soul card is also in chaos. He can't decipher the specific meaning of the question mark ability. Once it is cracked by force, , it is very likely that the entire soul card will be scrapped.

  For him who has the vision of the stars, this is obviously abnormal.

"Thank you, boss." Gu Jieshuang nodded vigorously, with a beautiful smile on his face, "I like this soul card very much!"

"This is the power that you have realized by yourself. I just helped to awaken it." Yu Cang came back to his senses and said, "No need to thank you."

"Know it."

Gu Jieshuang held the soul card in both hands and responded softly. For some reason, her face suddenly turned rosy.

Didn’t the boss notice...the name of this soul card?

 The naming system for gray soul cards related to one's own destiny star is special. That generally represents some desire in the user's instinct.

 For example, Jie'e Mei embodies her desire to heal her illness.

 And this soul card... Gu Jieshuang already understood the meaning of this name the moment he saw it.

 See the Cangshan Mountain and understand.

Before Yu Cang appeared, Gu Jieshuang once made a wish in front of the statue of Emperor Wu.

  She knew that her life was over at a glance, so she hoped that her life would become more exciting. She wanted to see those unseen scenery, those magnificent and dangerous secret places.

 Died on the way of exploration was the liberation she chose for herself.

 This is the meaning of this name. She is going to see many mountains and experience many things.

　　And...when a cang is added in front of the mountain, it becomes different.

 Before setting off, she saw a Cangshan Mountain. From then on, she no longer needed relief because she already had the antidote.

 “Okay, I’ll go get you some noodles.”

Yu Cang dropped these words and turned around to leave. Behind him, Gu Jieshuang quietly raised her head and looked at his back.

 …

 School has just started, and there are more things that Gu Jieshuang needs to be busy with.

　　After staying in Yu Cang's card-making room for a long time, she returned to school.

Yu Cang has already told her about the itinerary to Mudu, so before that, she must deal with all the matters first.

the next day

Yu Cang is sitting in the laboratory.

Hyperquantity cannot be researched for the time being, and Yu Cang doesn't know what to do now. He can only play with his entry recorder boredly, hoping to make something interesting.

“This seems to work...Ah, self-respect is so serious, so let’s forget it...eh? This card...its effect is so awkward...”

Yu Cang looked at the soul card that was drawn out by his random entry and shook his head.

I didn’t see any soul cards that stood out to me.

 A winter vacation has passed, and Yu Cang's entry database has been enriched a lot, but most of them are ordinary and rare entries, and there are not many epic or above.

At a quick glance, he saw that most of Curry's entries were in death cooling, so Yu Cang had no choice but to turn off the recorder.

 I’m not feeling lucky today, I’ll try again another day.

There were countless people left and right. Yu Cang touched the card box and took out a soul card.

 “Suppress the dragon skeleton…” Yu Cang’s eyes were thoughtful.

 Speaking of which, the last time I tried to crack this soul card seems to have been a long time ago.

Since he still couldn't find any clues on this soul card using Star Vision, Yu Cang temporarily put it away.

"try again!"

With nothing going on, let’s see if we can decipher the true nature of the question mark’s ability!

 Sit down on the chair, Yu Cang's eyes were filled with starlight, and he had entered the field of starry sky.

 Hum…

The sky is full of stars circling overhead. Yu Cang is already quite familiar with this place. After arriving here, his eyes immediately locked on the rhythm that represents the death dragon skeleton.

 Such a rhyme is rare.

Normally speaking, the rhythm of a soul card can be deep or shallow in the field of starry sky. The shallow level can be easily understood by just looking at it, but the deep rhythm requires the collision of rhythmic bodies to be revealed.

But the soul card of Suppressing Dragon Skeleton is very different. The shallow rhythm of this soul card is almost solidified. Some parts that Yu Cang can see have no meaning, so he can only explore it in depth. It's as if there is an invisible lock that imprisons these rhythms.

 But the resistance to the solidified rhythm is quite large. Yu Cang has never tried to go deep because he is afraid that forcing it will destroy the soul card.

Coming to this rhythm, Yu Cang calmed down and began to try to unravel the rhythm.

His control over the Rhythm Body is far more precise now than it was at the beginning, so there is still some possibility of successfully cracking it.

 …

after a while

Yu Cang's figure hurriedly fell into the ice city, sitting on a bench by the roadside, rubbing his brow.

Although he was already familiar with the nearby starry sky, he still had a headache after staying there for a long time.

 After a moment of relaxation, the frown gradually relaxed.

"…it's wired."

　　 Yu Cang is thoughtful.

This time the cracking has made some new progress, but what he saw inside made Yu Cang feel that something was wrong.

 Inside that mass of rhythm, he seemed to feel...a force that was completely opposite to the property of the Suppressing Dragon Skeleton?

  It cannot be said to be completely opposite, but it is indeed contradictory.

The attribute of this soul card is dark, and its race is dragon/undead, but the power coming from the inside is extremely vital, and it doesn’t match the entire soul card at all.

If he didn't perceive it wrong, then this rhythm related to vitality should be the fourth ability that is full of question marks.

But... to be honest, even if it only has the first three abilities, this Suppressing Dragon Skeleton is already very strong. Even if it is placed in an epic of the same tenth level, it is a very capable existence. If there is a fourth ability, it is completely the opposite. , or even a stronger ability... somewhat like a fake card.

Yu Cang felt a little itchy in his heart. He couldn't wait to see what this ability was, but unfortunately, this time the exploration had come to an end.

 If you continue reading, you must bear the risk of destroying the soul card.

"The life hidden in death..." Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the sky of Bingcheng.

 This soul card left to me by my parents may contain some information... Is it something you want to tell me?

This soul card, maybe it will be a puzzle? The answer lies in that fourth ability.

However, even though he had the starry sky vision, he couldn't see any clues. Even Ren Zheng didn't know what was in the question mark. If he had to figure it out by himself, he would think too highly of him.

 Shaked his head, Yu Cang decided not to think about it for now.

 In short, I don’t have a clue now, so I’ll wait until my abilities improve further.

After gathering his thoughts, Yu Cang decided to take a walk in the ice city.

The stars twinkled above our heads, and the streets of the Ice City had no end in sight.

The scale of the insect breeding farm is already quite large, and the original ice city can no longer meet the demand, so during the winter vacation, the ice city went through several rounds of expansion.

It stands to reason that a larger scale requires Yu Cang to consolidate the rhythm more frequently, but fortunately, the princess figured out some technical problems at this time - as long as Yu Cang mixes some special spirit seeds when making the ice city, it will It can greatly improve the stability and extend the stability time of Ice City.

Now, although the size of the ice city has become two to three times its original size, the interval between Yu Cang's reinforcements has been extended to two months.

  Lingzi is indeed a convenient thing.

Walking on the streets of Ice City, all the insects will lie down the moment they see him to show their submission - for them, Yu Cang's complete rhythmic body has a great intimidating power.

Now, when Yu Cang gets tired of staying in the Starry Sky Vision, he will go directly to Ice City. As for the Jieying Campus, he has not been there for a long time.

 Because...it's very lively there now.

Every day, Rhythm Bodies from all over come to visit and communicate and learn from senior researchers who have been in Star Vision for a long time.

 He is also a famous person in Yu Cang, and he is recognized every minute when he goes there.

Although he has the ability to make himself invisible to others, there are many old monsters there, and they will always be discovered.

 Bingcheng is better, there are fewer people and it’s more comfortable.

Now, the cognition bugs equipped with spirit son prostheses can be officially put into use... A large number of modified wisdom worms have been sent to the associations in various cities, using this method to find those who have the talent to learn the spirit son.

The princess did not hide Lingzi’s cultivation method, but disclosed it directly within the association to ensure that everyone with talent can find a way to learn.

Although the gray soul card is the spirit child system transformed by the soul card, which is an alternative with fewer restrictions, there are many benefits to truly directly mastering the spirit child. You can seek a higher upper limit, not to mention the star. The armory is just needed.

But it is a pity that the talent of learning Lingzi is so rare. Yu Cang heard that even Duan Feng does not have this talent. Looking at the entire Yan Kingdom, there are only a few people who can learn Lingzi.

 Speaking of which...it seems that in Mudu where we are going this time, there is a person who has started to learn Lingzi.

 Yu Cang thought of a name.

 Zhao Yang.

The genius who made the handed down soul card at the age of fourteen and almost created the system.

 The soul card he made is... very interesting.

Yu Cang read his paper and was amazed. Although it stopped abruptly at that time, from the current perspective, Yu Cang saw something very familiar. Ritual summons.

 This genius has touched the threshold of a new summoning method. But I don’t know why, but after that paper, there was no follow-up... and that paper was still a long way from the actual release of Ritual Summoning.

 After finding no follow-up, everyone felt that the soul card only existed in the system in theory, and there was no possibility of operation in fact, so not many people cared about it.

During the winter vacation, news came that Zhao Yang had the talent to practice Lingzi. This genius had been dormant for a long time and had become an ordinary person. Now, Lingzi may bring him some new possibilities.

Yu Cang lowered his head and looked at his hands. The sparkling spirits were dancing on his fingertips, which looked really beautiful.

“Spirit Son…According to the calculations of the princess, according to my current progress, the star armory will be opened for me in about half a year.”

As a war weapon of the unknown empire, Yu Cang is looking forward to seeing the return of the Star Armory.

 Walking and stopping along the way, Yu Cang soon came to the place where the princess "worked".

Bingcheng seems to have become the home of the princess.

To Yu Cang's surprise, when he came here this time, he didn't see the princess working. Instead, she was sitting on the roof nearby... looking at the starry sky above her head.

Star God Will is sitting next to her. Even if he is sitting, his huge body is taller than the entire house.

Although the Star God doesn't talk much, he is still very enthusiastic. After coming to the Star Sight, he has been trying to find something to do.

But... Jie Ying has taken over all the tasks, and Star God can't even interfere if he wants to.

 Plus, he is really not good at these things, so now he has been reduced to playing with the princess in the Ice City.

However, this is indeed what he is good at. After all, before coming to the ancient capital, he had accompanied the princess in the capital for ten thousand years.

Every time Yu Cang came over in the past, the princess was busy identifying insects, but it was rare to see her like this now.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang stood up gently, climbed onto the ice roof, and came to the princess.

 “What are you thinking about?”

 “Ah...Yu Cang, here you are.”

The princess was startled for a moment, then stood up and gave a gentle salute.

Although it was unexpected, every move was in line with etiquette, elegant and calm.

“I just remembered some past events...There is nothing special for me to focus on lately, so it’s easy for me to get lost in my own thoughts.”

 “Thank you for your hard work.” Yu Cang said softly.

Looking at the expression on the princess's face, he suddenly asked: "If you can, talk to me. As a friend, it's my duty to listen, isn't it?"

"..." The princess was silent for a moment, "You already have a lot to bear, and I don't want to affect your mood anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Yu Cang directly pulled the princess to sit on the roof. "You can see that I am happy all day long. I don't have any pressure at all. Just have something to say. We are friends, right?"

"…Well."

 The princess took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

"Actually...I have been thinking about one thing since I came back from the Holy City."

"What?"

“You said...if the price of Emperor Star’s growth is to constantly lose everything around him, then tell me, brother, did he...know this at the beginning..."

Hearing this, Yu Cang's expression moved slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth also subsided slightly.

 After saying this, the princess fell into silence. She hugged her knees, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Yu Cang already knew what the princess was worried about.

He knew that the princess followed her brother to the Blue Star, and the purpose of coming here... was naturally to find the fallen Emperor Star and make the Emperor Star become her brother's destiny star again.

 For a moment, Yu Cang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

 After a moment of silence, the princess said again:

“The Empire has done a lot of research on the Emperor Star for countless years... Basically, there should be no doubts about the nature and price of its power, so... Brother, he should know the price.

“That is to say, he came to look for the Emperor Star and was ready... to sacrifice me.”

 In just a few words, the princess's tone was extremely heavy.

After half a sound, Yu Cangcai said:

　　…Maybe he was also kept in the dark?”

"Then...my father lied to him, right?"

　　　…”

There was a smile on the princess's face. Different from the standard smiles that were sharp and ceremonial in daily life, this smile was very light and looked particularly fragile.

"Besides, there is no possibility that brother doesn't know this. The empire's ritual of summoning the Emperor Star already means that...brother must know everything." After a pause, she continued, "Actually, I understand, but...they kept it secret Hold me."

　　　…”

Yu Cang began to feel troubled.

 This mentality is really hard for him to comfort.

"Yu Cang, you know." The princess shrank, "After returning from the Holy Capital, I tried hard to recall all the memories of that journey, but...no, I don't remember my brother's face. There is no hesitation at all. His pursuit of the Emperor Star is always so urgent and without hesitation."

Yu Cang sighed, stretched out his hand, and patted the princess on the shoulder.

"I know that the growth of the Emperor Star requires many 'sacrifice' like me, but if my brother really finds the Emperor Star, I will probably be the first person to fall in front of him...right, Yu Cang ?”

 The princess's voice can already hear a slight tremor.

“I know now that what I have been looking forward to, the future where my brother will return to the empire and live with me after wiping out all the wasteland... did not exist from the beginning.”

Beside him, the Star God cast a heavy gaze. He didn’t speak and didn’t know what to say. He just stared at the princess’s back silently.

"...exists." Yu Cang said softly, "I don't know what happened before, but now, my destiny has been rewritten. There will be no sacrifices on the path I take."

 “Yu Cang…”

 The princess raised her head. It was clear that Lingzi's body did not have the ability to shed tears, but Yu Cang had a feeling that she was crying.

"I don't mind the sacrifice...I really don't mind. My brother and father are both great people. I am willing to be their stepping stone, but...but I..."

 The princess didn't know how to describe her mood for a moment.

She suddenly felt that no matter what she said at this time, she would look very pretentious.

 “I know it’s not a good feeling to be cheated on.”

"Yu Cang..." The princess opened her mouth, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she did not speak.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay." She took a deep breath, "Thank you, Yu Cang, for being willing to listen to me... I'm much better now."

　　 Yu Cang: “…”

 “Can you promise me something?”

"you say."

"If...if my brother is still alive now, we must find him, okay?"

 “Well, I promise you.”

"Thank you." The princess turned her head, "You must be very busy...I won't interrupt you. You can go and do your business."

"…Um."

Yu Cang stood up, patted the princess on the shoulder, then turned and left.

 Behind him, the princess bit her lip gently.

 Actually... what she wanted to say just now was, "Can you lend me your shoulder for a while?"

But after struggling for a moment, she still didn't say anything.

Yu Cang shouldn't refuse him...but this is not in line with etiquette, and will also cause some trouble to Yu Cang and Jieshuang.

 Forget it, it’s been this way for so many years, stay strong!

 The princess raised her head and looked at the starry sky silently.

 Time passes quietly.

 …

Suddenly, she felt a wave of movement behind her, as if someone had entered the ice city.

Um? Who is it...Is it Yu Cang? What did he come back for?

She turned her head in confusion, but saw a strange figure.

This figure is not a rhythmic body, but it can exist safely here... She is Gu Jieshuang.

"Jieshuang?" The princess stood up, "What are you here for?"

Gu Jieshuang doesn’t come to Star Vision often. Even if he comes, he usually goes to Jieying Campus to find Yu Cang instead of coming to Bingcheng.

Opposite him, Gu Jieshuang showed a gentle smile on his face.

"The boss asked me to come." She stepped forward gently and took the princess's hand. "He told me that there is someone here who needs a shoulder to lean on. Stardust, do you know who it is?"

As soon as these words came out, Xingchen was stunned.

There were more and more stars twinkling in her eyes, and her expression gradually lost control. At a certain moment, she could no longer hold it in, and threw herself into Gu Jieshuang's arms, crying loudly.

 …

 This world

Yu Cang sat on his seat, looked at Gu Jieshuang standing aside, and smiled softly.

 Suddenly, Chao Ci, who was coiled above his head, said: "Yu Cang."

 “Huh? What’s wrong?” Yu Cang’s gaze moved up slightly.

"That soul card just now...is called the Suppressing Dragon Skeleton, right?"

"Yeah that's right."

“I sensed a very familiar aura on that soul card.”

"familiar?"

"Hmm... It seems to be a memory from a long time ago... I should have seen something similar before the creation of all living things."

Yu Cang’s eyes widened slightly: “What the hell?”

 Such a big background?

"But... I have forgotten the specifics." Chao Ci turned his head, "The memories of the past are too complicated, and I have already forgotten some unimportant things."
