My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

Luo Sheng dismissed the black-haired mature clerk and did not immediately start selecting cards. Instead, he pulled out the card [Battle Maiden - Alice].

A flicker of light passed through his pupils as Alice's card information flowed into his mind.

This card could be enhanced, with the following options:

[ Recently Awakened: Alice is gradually regaining her consciousness during battles, especially with her improved mechanical martial arts. Unfortunately, her current mechanical prosthetics are insufficient for her needs; she requires a better body.

Armed Combat: Though Alice is skilled in advanced mechanical martial arts, sometimes fists alone aren't enough. She might need a suitable weapon.

Miracles: If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle could occur. ]

Luo Sheng searched for weapon cards that would suit Alice.

After a brief search, he found a perfect card:

[ [Monomolecular Line]

Level: Bronze Six-Star

Type: Weapon

Effect: A weapon crafted from high-tech monomolecular materials. The monomolecular line deals bonus damage based on energy charge, with physical damage diminishing after each attack. Charging restores its power.

Skill:

Chemical Damage: Inflicts chemical damage on targets, applying a poison effect to multiple enemies at once.

Overview: A single-strand line with a blade edge only one molecule thick, resembling a whip. Price: 200,000 yuan.]

Luo Sheng hissed through his teeth—expensive.

Still, he added it to his cart without hesitation. This kind of investment would ultimately strengthen Alice.

Luo Sheng also sought an effect card to enhance his deck. Witnessing Qin Jianjia's performance that day had made him aware of the importance of such cards. He decided to purchase another Bronze Six-Star card:

[ [Ambush from Ten Sides]

Level: Bronze Six-Star

Type: Music

Effect: A band plays the epic melody of Ambush from Ten Sides. The harmonious blend of instruments enhances the attack power and vitality of allied units by 13% until the end of the battle.

Overview: An awe-inspiring epic song.

Price: 220,000 yuan. ]

Although the combined cost of these two cards reached the threshold for a coupon, Luo Sheng also had a 20,000-yuan voucher, so the purchase balanced out.

As he prepared to pay, a discounted promotional card caught his eye:

[ [Mysterious Girl - Dongfang Muqing]

Overview: A girl who studied music from a young age and embarked on a journey in search of melodies. Unfortunately, her cherished zither, Qin Gui, was damaged upon her arrival, leaving her troubled.

Price: 999 yuan.]

"Wow, what a bargain!"

Though damaged cards had reduced value and functionality, Luo Sheng was confident in his ability to repair them. He quickly added it to his cart.

After completing his purchase, his bank account balance dropped to 64,000 yuan.

Shortly after, the black-haired clerk returned with the cards. Luo Sheng examined the [Mysterious Girl - Dongfang Muqing] card, a shimmer of light flashing in his eyes as information poured into his mind.

This card could be enhanced with the following options:

[ Restore the Zither: Dongfang Muqing's cherished zither, a keepsake from her grandfather, is broken. Help her repair it by finding the required materials, allowing her to play once again.

Miracles: If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle could occur.]

Luo Sheng sensed that this card held untapped potential. While it wasn't an offensive card, its unique support effects intrigued him.

After carefully storing the card, he left the shop.

Just as he stepped outside, someone called out, "Hello, Luo Sheng the Enhancer. I'm Zhao Haifeng, one of your schoolmates."

Looking at the young man about his age, Luo Sheng quickly recalled the name from the academy's rankings. Zhao Haifeng was ranked sixth.

"You're the one with the online ID 'Sea Breeze,' right?" Luo Sheng asked.

"Yes, that's me," Zhao Haifeng confirmed with a polite smile.

"Oh, so you're the guy who defended me online," Luo Sheng said, relieved to learn it wasn't someone looking for trouble.

"I just spoke the truth," Zhao Haifeng replied humbly. Then, with a touch of hesitation, he continued, "By the way, I saw you repaired Miss Wang's damaged card. Would you be willing to help me with one of mine? I'm willing to pay a premium."

He handed over a Bronze Seven-Star damaged card:

[ [Goblin Slayer]

Level: Bronze Seven-Star (Damaged)

Type: Character

Skill:

Instinctive Strike: Performs basic defensive counterattacks against threatening enemy targets.

Overview: After barely surviving a goblin extermination mission that claimed his entire team, he was left gravely injured and in a haze of confusion.]

As Luo Sheng examined the card, its information flowed into his mind.

This card could be enhanced with the following options:

[Ritual of the Crescent Priestess: Requires a female Crescent Priestess to perform a sacred ritual, sacrificing the crescent moon to fully heal him.

Miracles: If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle could occur.]

Luo Sheng nodded, saying, "I can try, but it will take some time since I'm busy with competitions. Also, if something goes wrong, I won't be responsible—damaged cards are tricky to repair."

"I understand," Zhao Haifeng said earnestly. "This card has been sitting idle for two months already. Take your time, and if the results are good, I'll offer extra compensation."

After some polite conversation, Luo Sheng returned to his apartment. Locking the door behind him, he pulled out [Battle Maiden - Alice], and his mind conjured the scene of her card world.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward.

A swirl of light and color transformed his surroundings, materializing into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

"I'm here, Alice!"
