Section 6, Perception

In fact, during the early development of the card system, specifically in the era of Rosenberg, there was no profession known as a card repairer. At that time, card makers, as the creators of the cards, were also the most familiar with them. They were adept at both using and manipulating the cards. The most prevalent profession during that era was the card master, who simultaneously practiced both card creation and card techniques.

In modern times, card makers and card repairers have different emphases in their training of perception. Card makers primarily focus on the perception of energy, while card repairers emphasize the control of energy

Sometimes, Chen Mu would recall the card in the drawer, a black card with silver lines as intricate and vast as the starry sky. However, just thinking about the price of the Samsung energy card, which reached fifteen thousand Oudi, would instantly chill his heart. It had become his habit to play with this mysterious and complex card for a while each day. Now, that card was casually placed on the table by him

Compared to card makers, the number of card repairers is significantly greater. The prestige of card makers is certainly well-known, but it is a prerequisite that one must at least reach an intermediate or advanced level. In contrast to card makers, card repairers exhibit much better adaptability, serving as personal bodyguards, explorers, and mercenaries. Additionally, those skilled in controlling water shuttle cards can move freely underwater, making them the best candidates for underwater exploration and surveying. Furthermore, card repairers proficient in controlling detection cards are not only essential personnel for maintaining public security in various regions but also indispensable members of every expedition team.

The power of advanced illusion cards is quite formidable. They can activate the energy of energy cards and, through special arrangements and combinations, simulate objects. They are representative of high-end weapons and are specifically designed for card users. Such illusion cards are referred to as illusion technique cards. Generally speaking, when ordinary people mention illusion cards, they are mostly referring to low-level illusion cards

Chen Mu was filled with curiosity about the black card with silver lines, yet he restrained himself and did not purchase the Samsung Energy Card. This decision was made after careful consideration. Beyond the factor of the Samsung Energy Card, it was his own circumstances that fundamentally influenced this decision.

His foundation is very weak, extremely poor, to the point that he is even inferior to an ordinary low-level card maker. Spending time on this card now will not significantly benefit his own development. If the foundation is not solid, the higher one goes, the more dangerous it becomes, and the path will also become narrower. He does not understand profound principles, but he does grasp such simple truths from his childhood life of wandering.

The production of illusion cards is significantly different from that of energy cards. Energy cards can be created as long as the card maker understands their structure and possesses sufficient drawing skills. However, illusion cards are different; they require the card maker to have a certain level of perception. This so-called perception refers to the ability of the card maker to communicate with the energy.

Energy and material properties are the most essential skills that a card maker must master

Perception can be enhanced through special methods, and this is a fundamental course for every card maker. In the current assessment of card makers, perception is one of the most important and basic abilities, with a very strict classification of levels.

There is a wide variety of cards, and the users of these cards, such as Kaxiu, are equally diverse

However, there are also exceptions, such as Haina Vancent. He was not only a genius card maker but also one of the top card players of his time, and he became the last recorded card master.

Indeed, perception is not solely required by card makers. Certain professions, such as card users, who are specialists in the use of cards, also have considerable demands for perception

It was also from that time that a new profession emerged—Cardshaper. They are professionals who utilize cards, and because they devote all their energy to maximizing the power of the cards, they are far more skilled in using cards than those who create them. Human energy is limited; card creators who learn both card crafting and card usage often struggle to achieve excellence in either area. Over time, the distinction between the two professions has become increasingly clear.

Until the era of Haina Van Sent three hundred years ago, the number of card makers had reached a considerable figure after more than two hundred years of development, which also allowed more cards to circulate into the hands of people outside the card makers. As the card system became increasingly complex, the knowledge that card makers needed to learn was far greater than that of the Rosenberg era, leading card makers to gradually focus on research and study

There are many methods for training perception, but they share a common characteristic: the need for a medium. The differences in the medium will directly affect the characteristics of perception. These characteristics, in turn, will directly influence the cards produced by the card makers. The nature of the cards will then directly impact the card users. Therefore, in many places and among various schools, card makers and card users often coexist. These card users utilize cards from their respective schools, and since they practice the same type of perception, they are often able to unleash the maximum power of these cards. For example, the renowned Kuji Temple produces various heart cards that are nearly unusable for those not originating from Kuji Temple, and even if they can be used, they cannot exert the cards' full potential.

In recent days, he has been immersed in a sense of rapid progress. After years of accumulation, he has never ceased to think, although his advancement has been hindered by certain key issues that he could not decipher. However, once these obstacles were removed, the overwhelming sensation of progress was simply unparalleled

Illusion cards are a traditional strength of the Tianyou Federation. The founder of card theory, Rosenberg, was most proficient in illusion cards. The primary stage of illusion cards is the phantom, while the advanced stage is the simulacrum. The function of primary illusion cards is not particularly significant; they can only emit some illusions. Although these illusions are realistic, they are merely images and cannot cause harm to individuals. Experienced individuals can recognize them at a glance.
