Chapter 4, Character Cards and Skill Cards

Yu Wenhui had managed to understand part of the situation and inquired, "Why was I brought in?"

The world within this alien spacecraft is fraught with dangers, and many ancestors have perished for each family in the pursuit of exploring uncharted territories. Consequently, the younger generation, who have embraced modern ideas, has begun to oppose the exploration of the Thirty-Three Heavens, reject the ancient traditions of their families, and resist such sacrifices

As for character cards, they can be regarded as another type of shell, specifically designed for combat. Character cards have dedicated slots for martial arts cards, which can be equipped for battle. Martial arts cards are essentially a combat system that comes with its own AI capable of harnessing special energy; you could even understand them as game skills.

Yu Wenhui asked: "Is it because of the numerous sacrifices that some people no longer wish to continue exploring the secrets of extraterrestrial spacecraft?"

Yu Wenhui, who prides himself on being of high intelligence, found his mind somewhat inadequate. Unable to find a flaw to counter, he could only continue to press for answers: "And then?"

Yu Wenhui pointed around and said, "Is this the very fantastical mobile game? And what is a character card?"

Kou Xiaohan chuckled softly and continued to explain: "Thus, the Full-time Martial God Project was established to cultivate character cards to replace the original body for exploration."

Kou Xiaohan smiled gently and replied, "That's right! After all, the members of various prominent families are accustomed to enjoying life. Without some fresh excitement, it is simply impossible to attract people to participate. The game format is merely to enhance the enjoyment of this monotonous work. The concept of the full-time martial god project is also inspired by popular online games and mobile games from the outside world, which can be considered one of the influences from the outside on the Thirty-Three Heavens."

Kou Xiaohan invigorated his spirit and continued to explain: "The families that initially moved into the interior world of the extraterrestrial spacecraft were the highest-level intellectuals of that era. They understood that they could not isolate themselves from the outside world, nor could they remain stagnant. Therefore, they did not cut themselves off from the world; instead, they engaged in extensive communication with the outside, frequently sending younger generations out to travel the world, and many of their descendants have continued to live outside."

Kou Xiaohan nodded and said, "Indeed!"

Yu Wenhui quietly looked at Kou Xiaohan for a while and then asked, "Are you also a child living outside?"

Kou Xiaohan shot him a glance and said, "Isn't someone explaining it to you right now! What soared into the sky during the Western Jin Dynasty was not two treasured swords, but a spacecraft from another planet. It was just that the people of that time lacked scientific knowledge and were unable to provide an accurate description"

The "Book of Jin: Biography of Zhang Hua" records that during the early establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were often purple gases rising into the sky amidst the bullfighting. Zhang Hua, well-versed in the principles of the I Ching, sensed that this was unusual. He invited Lei Huan, who was skilled in observing celestial phenomena, to divine the auspicious and inauspicious signs together. They ultimately concluded that the purple gas originated from Yuzhang Fengcheng and was, in fact, the essence of a precious sword

Kou Xiaohan sighed and said, "The interior of this alien spacecraft is a complete world, not only vast in territory but also capable of bringing out certain items. Lei Huan entered the spacecraft and inadvertently obtained two pieces of alien weaponry, namely the legendary Gan Jiang and Mo Ye."

At that time, Zhang Hua was a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty. He assisted Lei Huan in obtaining the position of magistrate of Fengcheng County. After Lei Huan took office, he excavated a stone coffin beneath the prison's foundation. Upon its discovery, the coffin radiated a brilliant light, and upon opening it, two swords were indeed found side by side. Lei Huan immediately gifted one of the swords to Zhang Hua, while keeping the other for himself. Later, Zhang Hua was killed, and the whereabouts of the Ganjiang sword became unknown. After Lei Huan's death, he passed the Moye sword he had worn to his son, Lei Hua. Lei Hua served as an official in Jian'an County, and while carrying the sword, it suddenly leapt from its sheath and fell into the river as he passed by Yanping Ferry. Lei Hua requested someone to retrieve the sword from the water, but the diver could not find the treasured sword; instead, he saw two dragons entwined at the bottom of the river. In an instant, the river's waters became a brilliant blue, with waves surging violently. From then on, Yanping was known as 'Sword Ferry', 'Sword Port', 'Sword River', and 'Dragon Ferry'.

Even though she is now in a man's body, Yu Wenhui has seen her in person and, as her ex-boyfriend, knows her very well. He couldn't help but imagine a few romantic scenes, and his heart stirred slightly.

Yu Wenhui felt parched, as if he were listening to an immortal recounting a celestial scripture, and he thought that nothing in the world could be more astonishing than this. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Since these families possess such powerful resources, why would they sell something as trivial as a one-yuan mobile phone? Why would they summon newcomers to join something like a full-time martial god?"

Kou Xiaohan smiled faintly and said, "At that time, several prominent families involved in this matter believed they had found the Thirty-Three Heavens, the dwelling place of the Heavenly Emperor, and regarded it as a great opportunity bestowed by heaven. They moved their entire families into it. Because of this ancient misunderstanding, we still refer to the world inside the extraterrestrial spacecraft as the realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens. In order to keep this secret, several families buried the spacecraft itself, making it impossible for others to find it"

After listening to Yu Wenhui's explanation, Kou Xiaohan gradually reined in her smile, her expression becoming more composed. She said, "Some matters should not have been disclosed to you, as they are secrets inaccessible to ordinary people. However, since you have already entered this realm, I cannot allow you to suffer losses. Therefore, let me explain our origins and the inside story of the Full-time Martial God to you"

Kou Xiaohan's eyes sparkled like waves as she bit her lip and smiled gently, saying, "After graduation, I was summoned back to the family in thirty-three days; otherwise, I wouldn't have broken up with you"

Yu Wenhui was left utterly confused and asked, "I have heard this story as well; what is its relation to the game 'Full-time Martial God'?"

Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, everything was relatively well, and everyone was accustomed to adhering to traditions. However, during the Republic of China period, Western ideologies were introduced, leading many to embrace concepts such as democracy, human rights, individual freedom, and the liberation of one's nature, among others, which gave rise to different ideas

During the period of the Two Jin Dynasties, various legends of immortals were most prevalent. Gan Bao's works such as "On the Transformation of the Five Qi," "On Monsters," "On the Relocation of Mountains," "Gan Zi," "Hundred Aspirations Poetry," and "Records of the Search for Spirits" are notable. There is even the story of Liu An, the King of Huainan, and his family ascending to immortality, which was not directly included but rather derived from the hearsay of those who knew a bit of the secrets.

Yu Wenhui could not help but complain: "They really do not have enough passion for science"

Yu Wenhui couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell, is there really such a trick? What about those two swords? What's going on with that?"

Kou Xiaohan, upon hearing this, trembled with excitement, her laughter breathtaking and captivating. She is a genuine beauty whose looks can outshine an entire school. The title of goddess may be a compliment when applied to other girls, but in the case of Kou Xiaohan, it is merely fitting

Kou Xiaohan pondered for a moment and said, "My family's influence is average, and we do not have access to the higher echelons, so I am not very clear about the situation. Currently, the radical faction holds power among the major families, so it is not surprising that a certain leader has implemented some incomprehensible policies."
