Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Qin Jianjia's Strength
"We should go as well."
Luo Sheng watched as the others gradually moved away, planning to head back soon as well, especially since his mech had sustained some damage.
Fortunately, the cards would only truly be destroyed in the world where they belonged. In the card master's world where Luo Sheng was, summoned creatures would heal and restore once the cooldown passed, so there was no need to worry too much.
He planned to sell the cards he had just collected, then trade them for new cards. He also intended to level up Acoley and Alice, and then get a mount card.
"Mm-hmm."
Wang Ke'ai nodded from Acoley's back.
Just then, a loud rumbling sound echoed from a distance, and the sounds of battle grew closer.
"Qin Jianjia?"
Wang Ke'ai quickly responded.
She looked up at the tiled roof nearby, where Qin Jianjia stood, her black stockings and long legs aligned, standing tall on the ridge of the roof. Her long hair fluttered in the wind.
That silhouette—black stockings were definitely a bonus.
Luo Sheng silently gave a thumbs up. Unfortunately, beneath the skirt, she wore safety shorts, so there wasn't much to see.
Qin Jianjia also looked down at the two of them.
Her gaze eventually settled on Wang Ke'ai's damp pants. With a neutral expression, she said, "You peed your pants."
Wang Ke'ai felt another sting in her heart and angrily shouted, "No! It's sweat!"
Qin Jianjia: "Oh? Really? Then tell that scum beside you to lick it up."1
Luo Sheng: "???"
Wang Ke'ai was even angrier upon hearing this. How come both of these people were like this? "If you're so brave, come down and let's have a one-on-one battle!"
"Forget it, just keep being your little loli. You can't win," Qin Jianjia retorted with her usual sharp tongue. "Lolis and scum, two noobs are quite a good fit together."
Luo Sheng frowned.
Wait, why am I involved in this argument?
Luo Sheng felt quite innocent, getting caught in the crossfire for no reason. First, he was called scum, now a noob—did these people have no shame?
He immediately fired back, "But I live with you, so actually, we're the real deal, right?"
Qin Jianjia paused for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly.
She seemed a little angry, clearly stung by Luo Sheng's words, especially remembering the mistakes Luo Sheng had made earlier this morning. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
Suddenly.
A skeleton dragon, its eyes glowing with ghostly flames, let out an angry roar and spewed a blast of cold fire behind her.
But its attack was ineffective.
Qin Jianjia elegantly dodged the attack, and the cold flames flew toward Luo Sheng and Wang Ke'ai.
"Shit!"
Luo Sheng shouted and instantly activated his Hall thruster, flying off to the side.
Acoley also swiftly flew to the eaves with Wang Ke'ai on her back, as she had been hunted by beasts in the card world and was no stranger to fleeing.
The cold flames hit the ground, instantly forming a giant ice sculpture.
Luo Sheng was drenched in cold sweat; if he had been hit, he'd probably be done for here.
What kind of monster has this woman provoked? It's terrifying, and she's clearly aiming to take revenge on me—probably wants to inherit my room. This woman is a scorpion, willing to harm even her roommate.
Qin Jianjia looked at the two of them in their awkward state and, after a moment, showed a barely noticeable smile at the corner of her mouth.
Then she demonstrated what real power looked like.
A card, "Angel's Glory", hovered in her hand and emitted blinding light, illuminating the surroundings.
The skeleton dragon was briefly blinded, its strength halved, and it began howling in agony as its wing beats slowed.
During this time, Qin Jianjia did not stop attacking. Under the enhancement of "Angel's Glory", she immediately activated "Planet Befall".
In an instant, runes appeared in the dim sky. A cubic meteorite the size of a small stone fell from the sky. Its impact wasn't too powerful, but its effect was remarkable. Upon hitting the skeleton dragon, it petrified it, temporarily rendering it incapable of combat and drastically reducing its defense.
At that moment, Qin Jianjia's long-hidden summon, the swordsman named "Wuji Sword Saint", suddenly appeared. With a dazzling Alpha Blitz, the skeleton dragon turned into a card that fell into her hands.
[ [Frost Dragon]

Death Aura: If there is a fellow Ghost Demon unit, it increases health by 3%, up to a maximum of 15%.

Overview: Born in the burial grounds, the Frost Dragon represents eternal frost and is loyal to the Ice Lord.]
This is a semi-epic card, between extraordinary and epic.
The power of [Frost Dragon] is already comparable to a Silver 3-star card. Such cards are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan and are rare on the market.
After obtaining the card, Qin Jianjia casually summoned a motorcycle and sped away, leaving only a flash of wind and a graceful silhouette.
Barefaced mockery.
"Is this her strength?"
Luo Sheng was shocked by Qin Jianjia's strength as a Bronze 7-star card master.
There was indeed a big gap between him and her. If they really fought, it would probably be over in two minutes.
Wang Ke'ai also narrowed her eyes, her small brows furrowed slightly, sensing the pressure. Compared to her card collection, the opponent's seemed much more refined.
Afterward, Luo Sheng stopped dwelling on it.
After all, Qin Jianjia had been a card master for three months. Given a bit more time, surpassing her wasn't impossible.
Luo Sheng continued to search for the exit with Wang Ke'ai, and along the way, they picked up an ordinary Bronze 3-star card, [Island Leech Ghost Shadow].
They finally reached the exit where Su Tianchen was.
"Professor Su, I'm back, and I saved the Wang family's young miss." Luo Sheng reported.
Su Tianchen used a "Holy Light" spell, and Wang Ke'ai was instantly restored to full health, bouncing around energetically again.
She jumped off Acoley's back.
Her pants, somehow, had been replaced with new ones—clean, cool, and comfortable. There was no sign of her having wet herself earlier.
Tsk tsk...
Luo Sheng was quite annoyed. When did she change them? Why didn't I see?
However, Acoley's mage robe was a bit damp, as if it had been soaked in water.
Su Tianchen glanced at it several times, his face showing confusion. Seeing this, Wang Ke'ai immediately pointed to Luo Sheng and said, "Professor Su, it's all Luo Sheng's fault!"
Luo Sheng: "…"
He looked at Wang Ke'ai with disdain, his expression one of frustration. Wang Ke'ai quietly said, "You help me out, and I'll give you a 3-star card."
"Hiss..."
Luo Sheng took a deep breath. That was way too much, but she was definitely a wealthy lady.
As someone who respected the elderly and loved the young, he felt it was his duty to help the weak young girl. "Professor Su, I accidentally got my face wet, so I wiped it off."
"You don't need to explain, I understand," Su Tianchen said, with an expression that clearly didn't believe him. He then reminded him, "Wang has bought a 200,000 yuan insurance policy. Since you saved her life, you'll get 20% of the insurance payout."
Accident insurance is a one-time deal.
The insurance company also released a policy that if the insured person is saved by someone, the rescuer receives 20% of the insurance payout.
Because the insurance company needs to make a profit, they'd rather lose a bit of money to make more in the long run, so this policy exists.
As for insurance fraud, no matter how much people try to cheat, the insurance company still keeps 80% of the profit, so as long as no one dies, they don't care.
"Such a loss! I wonder if Xia Xingri bought insurance?" Luo Sheng suddenly felt disappointed.
A fat sheep had slipped away.
But it wasn't too bad. At least he had Wang Ke'ai. Luo Sheng's gaze sharpened as he stared at her like a wolf.
Wang Ke'ai felt a chill down her spine. She crossed her arms over her chest, showing her two little tiger teeth. "What are you planning to do?"
