If we do not have the card you need, we can make a reservation for you, entrusting it to our affiliated senior card makers to create it specifically for you. The sales assistant is enthusiastic and spares no effort in promoting our services

Stepping out of the card shop, the cold air immediately jolted Chen Mu awake. After standing in a daze for a while, he suddenly let out a laugh; it seemed he truly had a weak resistance, as those cards had dazzled him. Casting aside these unrealistic thoughts, he recalled the mysterious card still at home, and his heart suddenly warmed. A strong sense of curiosity compelled him to break into a run.

The mysteries of it all, like countless little insects, left Chen Mu feeling restless and eager.

Unable to afford a shuttle, and with no way to control the airflow card, Chen Mu had no choice but to proceed steadily on foot.

Suppressing the shock within his heart, Chen Mu began to carefully observe the actions of these individuals. He focused his gaze on one of the puppets, and suddenly a large amount of text appeared beside this puppet. Chen Mu quickly read through the text. It turned out that this text provided a detailed explanation of the action and some points to note.

The dazzling array of various high-end cards nearly blinded Chen Mu, and he swallowed hard, shaking his head: "No need, there are no cards here that I require"

The questions surrounding this mysterious card have lingered in Chen Mu's mind. It has undergone an extremely realistic disguise treatment; what kind of card requires such disguise? What is the purpose of its disguise? Moreover, those two layers of disguise film are also the work of a master; which master could it possibly be?

Indeed, he is a wealthy individual! The sales clerk felt a sense of joy within, as a Samsung energy card requires 15,000 Oudi, and today's performance just meets the target

Hello, may I ask what you need? The sales clerk did not show the slightest disdain for Chen Mu's untidiness; they all possessed exceptional professional qualities. They are accustomed to seeing a wide array of people, and many who appear unremarkable often spend lavishly here. Not all wealthy individuals are overly concerned with their attire. Moreover, it is quite common to encounter scholars who are engrossed in research and do not pay much attention to their appearance.

Determined, Chen Mu no longer hesitated and went out to purchase a Samsung energy card

Running at full speed, Chen Mu gasped for breath as he opened the door and entered the house

Once again stepping onto the street, Chen Mu's mood is completely different from the last time he went out to bask in the sun

Samsung Energy Card Chen Mu did not waste any words

Now, the time has finally come to unveil this mystery! Chen Mu felt a surge of excitement

Fifteen thousand Odi, looking at this strange card, Chen Mu felt somewhat indecisive. No longer bound by the long-held desire to create a one-star illusion card, a strong curiosity drew him in, and the balance in his heart quickly began to tilt towards this card

Chen Mu had never heard of any card whose structure would change. Once the structure of a card is formed, it becomes exceptionally firm, and the fit between the materials is irreversible. This fitting force is incredibly strong; even time, an irresistible force, can only cause it to loosen and peel away gradually, but cannot rearrange it in another form

After reading, Chen Mu began to try to mimic the movements of these puppets

The Samsung Energy Card can only be purchased at relatively high-end stores, as it is not a cheap item. This is Chen Mu's first time entering such a high-end card shop, where the shiny, smooth floor reflects one's image, and a faint, refreshing fragrance permeates the air. Inside the glass counter, various high-end cards are displayed on red velvet, with detailed descriptions of each card placed beneath them.

If this card truly is the work of a certain individual, then what astonishingly extraordinary skill must they possess

The beautiful and graceful ticket saleswoman is dressed in a neat uniform, with a charming smile and a gentle demeanor

As soon as the words fell, eighteen lifelike puppets with varying movements suddenly appeared before Chen Mu. The faces of these puppets were indistinct, yet their forms were perfect. They continuously repeated their actions, over and over again. Each of the eighteen puppets performed a different action, some of which were exceedingly bizarre.

Step one, please complete the following eighteen actions. Suddenly, an elderly voice sounded beside Chen Mu's ear. This sentence seemed to be whispered directly into his ear; the voice was not loud, yet it was very clear. Chen Mu couldn't help but turn his head to look back, but all he saw was the vast, black void, with nothing else in sight.

He picked up the mysterious card from the table, gently stroking its surface with his palm. With a deft flick of his fingers, the card was inserted into the slot of the device. Immediately afterward, Chen Mu swiftly inserted the three-star energy card into another slot of the device

Since Chen Mu was determined, he thought that at worst, he could spend a few more months earning it back himself

Without hesitation, he pressed the activation button

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and Chen Mu felt as if he had entered a completely unfamiliar space. What an impressive illusion card! The astonishment in Chen Mu's heart was beyond words! He had never imagined that an illusion card could reach such a level; this was truly a case of "as real as it seems"! This was undoubtedly a very advanced illusion card! He never expected to encounter such a high-level illusion card. Although he knew that everything he saw before him was false, Chen Mu's expression still changed. This card completely severed his connection with the surrounding environment. He never expected to encounter such a high-level illusion card.

Chen Mu never procrastinates in his actions; once he decides to make a purchase, he does not hesitate and pays very promptly. This further convinces the saleswoman that the man before her is quite wealthy

The sky is filled with shuttles, the sound of the airflow they emit from their tails faintly audible. Shuttles are quite expensive, naturally beyond the means of someone like Chen Mu. The core component of a shuttle is a card that generates high-speed airflow; this airflow, passing through the shuttle's unique internal structure, produces immense thrust. Those highly skilled card masters do not need shuttles at all; they can skillfully manipulate these airflow cards to achieve flight, and they do so with greater speed and agility.

Without exception, these can pique everyone's curiosity; however, the most peculiar aspect is not among these. The most extraordinary feature of this mysterious card is that, overnight, the patterns on its surface underwent a dramatic transformation

Surrounding him was only an expanse of boundless darkness, as if he were floating alone in the endless void of obscurity
