My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

Under the dim streetlights.

Luo Sheng curiously asked Wang Ke'ai, "You're ranked in the top three at school, how could you not handle a bronze five-star female ghost?"

"My cards were countered, and she also counters the mental strength of a card master," Wang Ke'ai said while lying on Acoley's back.

She then took out a few cards.

Although all of them were above bronze six-star level, they were water and ice element cards, such as the earlier card, [Priest of Prayer - Barbara], which was focused on support and healing.

The rest were [Spring Sprite], [Ice Wizard], [Frozen Wilderness], [Ice Shield], and [Deep Sea Merman].

This was an ice-water themed deck.

It could create freezing effects, easily freezing a card master's summoned creatures when fighting them.

Especially with the ice-based domain cards, which greatly enhance the basic properties of ice cards.

This kind of deck is very popular because it not only has a large attack range and can easily create battlefield effects, but also focuses on protecting the card master. For instance, in the Ice Wilderness domain, the Ice Shield's protection effect increases by 30%.

As long as the card master isn't defeated in the first round, the deck's error tolerance during battle would be higher. Additionally, it balances offense, control, interference, and healing.

Thus, many card masters dream of having such a deck, but it requires a large amount of money to collect, and the cards might not always be available in the market.

Unfortunately, Wang Ke'ai's deck was completely countered by her opponent.

The undead spirits can travel through objects that reflect light, and glass and water just happen to meet this condition, allowing them to easily get close to the card master, thereby capturing the "king" first.

As a result, Wang Ke'ai's deck, in a way, actually increased the enemy's strength.

Luo Sheng had learned about such countering mechanisms in textbooks. For instance, light and fire cards counter dark cards.

Even if the countered cards are one or two stars higher, the countering card has more than a 50% chance of winning.

Generally, card masters don't like others to know their deck, fearing that others will specialize in collecting cards that counter them.

However, Wang Ke'ai clearly didn't mind. Perhaps because her cards change often, or maybe because Luo Sheng saved her, she didn't mind him taking a look.

"I'll take you to Mentor Su Tianchen. It's not safe here," Luo Sheng suggested.

He didn't want to carry any burdens on his journey.

"Alright."

Wang Ke'ai nodded, obviously not wanting to stay there, as it was too annoying.

The two of them headed toward the entrance. Along the way, they encountered several ghosts and spirits.

Luo Sheng successfully collected two Bull-headed warden and one Horse-faced Guard.

As they passed by a street, they suddenly heard a distant cry for help. Though Luo Sheng wanted to leave quickly, he couldn't help but assist. Of course, he wouldn't admit it was because he just wanted to collect some road rescue fees.

There was a card master lying on the ground, his face pale and panicked. The cards in his hand had all been defeated and were now dimming, entering their cooldown period.

The card master trembled and said, "Help... Help..."

In front of him, a skeleton wizard, holding a rusted scythe and wearing a gray-black robe with a crow-beak mask, was slowly closing in.

"Go, Acoley!"

Wang Ke'ai: "???"

Under Luo Sheng's command, Acoley, carrying Wang Ke'ai on her back, rushed forward and took out a magic wand. She quickly chanted a fire-element spell, and the small fireballs that formed like a barrage attacked the skeleton wizard.

"Hehehehe...!" The skeleton wizard growled, its ghostly fire eyes burning more fiercely, as if enraged.

It tried to use its scythe to strike at Acoley and Wang Ke'ai, but in the next moment, Alice blocked their path, holding a folding long sword and forcefully taking the hit from the scythe.

Sparks flew.

As the skeleton wizard struggled with Alice, a large amount of red silk floated out from the darkness, instantly wrapping it into a mummy.

Before the wizard could react, a golden pair of scissors stabbed into its neck.

Moments later, it transformed into a bronze five-star card: [Reaper Intern].

[ [Reaper Intern]

Overview: An apprentice from the underworld, trying hard to be promoted to a full-fledged reaper. ]

Bai Moxue handed the card to Luo Sheng. This was his second-highest quality card so far.

However, Luo Sheng didn't plan to use it. The card's image was too terrifying—a skeleton in a gray robe holding a scythe, with a grotesque and terrifying expression.

Its strength was also much lower than Bai Moxue's, specializing in dealing with living creatures.

Therefore, Luo Sheng planned to sell it.

"Luo Sheng! You!" Before he could process it, Wang Ke'ai was already furious. "Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?!"

Her emotions had gone from confusion to fear, and then to relief. It was like riding a roller coaster.

Luo Sheng scratched his face awkwardly. "Uh... It was an emergency, so I accidentally forgot about you."

"Pervert! I never want to see you again! Every time I meet you, something bad happens!" Wang Ke'ai was genuinely angry.

Luo Sheng could only apologize obediently.

After all, it was her apartment that he was living in, so he decided to give her the [Reaper Intern] card as compensation.

Unfortunately, Wang Ke'ai didn't lack cards, and she didn't like such terrifying ones, so she rejected it.

"You can strengthen two of my cards for free, and we'll forget about it," Wang Ke'ai pouted.

"Okay, but the material cards will be on you. I'm so poor I can't even afford a meal," Luo Sheng nodded.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of material cards," Wang Ke'ai patted her card box.

Her blue-and-white exquisite bag was bulging, and there were at least dozens of cards inside.

Truly a rich woman.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but show a look of envy.

If Wang Ke'ai's mental strength were infinite, she could use her cards to overwhelm others. Unfortunately, no matter how wealthy or poor, a card master's mental strength is limited.

Even though she was bronze four-star, she could probably only use seven or eight cards at most. If she used higher-star cards, her mental strength would deplete faster, reducing the number of cards she could use at once.

Thus, many of these cards were just her collecting habit and weren't useful.

Luo Sheng turned around, planning to collect some rescue fees from the card master he had just saved.

"Xia Xingri?"

When he saw the person, he realized that the card master was the same Xia Xingri, the one who had tried to set him up the other day.

He didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance here.

Luo Sheng smiled in an Anya-friendly manner. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be playing your Voldemort role?"

"Because of you!" Xia Xingri looked up at him, his eyes filled with anger.

Especially when he saw Luo Sheng's shiny battle suit, his inner frustration grew even more. It was obvious that this suit had been upgraded.

His eyes nearly popped out.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here collecting cards," he blamed Luo Sheng for everything.

If it weren't for his battle suit being gone, he could have continued pretending to be the Voldemort at the academy, deceiving new card masters for their cards without taking risks to raid here.

Luo Sheng scratched his nose and smiled. "You're a good person, sacrificing yourself for my safety by feeding the battle suit card to me. This thing has saved me from harm multiple times, so this rescue is your thanks to the battle suit."

His words hit a nerve.

Xia Xingri was too angry to speak.

"You wait! I'll be back!" Xia Xingri, like a little child in kindergarten, made threats after losing.

He hobbled away with a limp.
