Chapter 8 Random Cards

The cold voice brought Zheng Ming back to reality from his ecstatic frenzy, with only twenty minutes remaining, and it was just once, which was truly too little

A dozen or so books are neatly arranged on the table. When it comes to the value of these books, it is likely that just one of them could purchase all the others available outside

A well-known name, his travelogue by Xu Xiake, Zheng Ming has indeed read it. And below the skills, it is inscribed with four characters—Seeking Mountains and Exploring Waters

As soon as this question arose in Zheng Ming's mind, a mechanical voice provided the answer: "Random cards, as long as the reputation value is sufficient, can be drawn infinitely. Moreover, the range of drawing is not limited to the host's current strength"

Moreover, Li Ruohai's combat ability is quite formidable, being ranked as the third in the world by the invincible sorcerer Pang Ban!

Suppressing the impulse in his heart to immediately test just how strong Li Ruohai truly was, Zheng Ming once again focused his gaze on the cards of Xiang Chong and Li Zhong

The red prestige value has reached one thousand, granting one opportunity to draw a random card. The current prestige value is two thousand, providing a total of two opportunities. Please choose at which level of card to draw from

If it were possible to exchange basic cards for Li Ruohai, it could be three for one, that would be fine

The casting time for this card is twenty minutes

"Second brother, you must not think of doing something foolish. If you want to die, it would be much easier to cut your throat; setting yourself on fire is far too painful!" With this loud shout, Zheng Heng had already rushed in quickly from outside.

What does "seeking mountains and exploring waters" mean, and how is it different from "traveling through mountains and playing in waters"? Damn it, isn't it supposed to be a card of general rank? How can even "traveling through mountains and playing in waters" be considered a skill!

Draw a random card What is a random card

Therefore, even the most ordinary Rehmannia pill costs over one thousand taels of silver each

Although the three siblings of Zheng Ming never used this iron gate until the end of the crisis, Zheng Ming will never forget the expression on his father's face when he reminded himself

There is a character, which indicates that my luck is truly exceptional, having drawn a one percent chance and being selected myself

At this moment, Zheng Ming also began to understand that while his Cang Xiong body had a significant impact on the cultivation of the Bear Hug technique, the remarkable progress made today was not solely due to the Cang Xiong body, but also the result of his years of hard training

Upon entering the hidden door, there is also a desk inside, but the books on the desk are vastly inferior compared to those outside

However, when his gaze fell upon the name of the character, this sense of loss instantly transformed into surprise

However, the one percent chance of a martial arts card makes Zheng Ming feel a toothache just thinking about it. One percent, this probability is far too small!

One thousand reputation points, just like that, are gone

General's Level, Extraction Success Level, one-tenth; Martial Arts Level, Extraction Success Level one percent; Immortal Level, Extraction Success Level one thousandth; Deification Level, Extraction Success Rate one ten-thousandth; Primordial Level, Extraction Success Rate one hundred-thousandth

At the moment he locked onto this card, Zheng Ming discovered that his prestige value immediately decreased by 1,000

Zheng Ming, who had stopped his cultivation, looked at the courtyard covered with branches of various sizes and the large tree that seemed to have been ravaged by a fierce wind, and a smile appeared on his face

Even without this card, I will still enjoy traveling and exploring the mountains and rivers

However, the one in one hundred thousand chance is indeed too small

Without waiting for Zheng Ming to explain, he threw a key over and said: "This is the key to my father's study. You know where our family's martial arts are hidden. Father asked you to go in and find a book. I think the Bear King Fist is the most suitable for you."

Zheng Ming felt a pang of pain, which made him even more hopeful that this time the cards would not be empty. If they were empty, he would suffer a great loss

There is one more chance; this time, Grandma will not draw generals, but will directly draw martial artists, saving the effort. However, what was ultimately drawn was an idle card that does not exist

His thoughts carefully swept over the opened card, and he discovered that the card depicted a handsome man holding a long spear and riding a fine horse.

With a hint of prayer in his heart, Zheng Ming slowly revealed the card. The moment the figure appeared on the card, Zheng Ming felt a significant weight lift from his heart

As he spoke, he turned and headed towards the exit, saying: "I am going to see Xiaoyue. I was just caught by Dad while delivering the keys to you, and I am going to be late!"

The strength of all characters in the card game made Zheng Ming's heart race. If he were to draw a card of that primordial level, not to mention just one grandson, even the entire Great Jin Dynasty would likely not dare to provoke him

Clearly, I drew a martial arts card, yet the character that appeared is from the general cards. Generally speaking, only generals ride horses

In Zheng Ming's heart, a wave of great joy surged instantly; as long as there were people, that one thousand reputation points would not have been in vain.

Still facing upwards, each card looks indistinguishable from the back.

Martial arts cards, even the worst ones, I do not seek Nie Feng or Bu Jingyun, nor do I seek Pang Ban or Lang Fanyun, and I do not seek Qiao Feng or the Sweeping Monk; I would be able to accept even a lone traveler like Tian Boguang.

Standing under the tree, sensing the two open cards in his heart, Zheng Ming's mind became even more solemn. This time, his choice must be made with greater seriousness.

He snorted in annoyance and said: "Brother, aside from reminding you once again not to call me 'Second Brother', let me tell you something else: open your eyes and see clearly, am I the kind of person who would self-immolate?"

Watching Zheng Heng leave in a flurry, Zheng Ming could only shake his head in helplessness

In a moment, Zheng Ming was also filled with anticipation for his two basic cards

"Bear Hug Technique," "Bear King Fist," "Gale Leg," "Meteor Knife"

Zheng Ming often came here to read when he was young, so he effortlessly pressed a button located in the corner on the left side of the study.

Over the years, although his bear hug technique has not made significant progress due to health reasons, a solid foundation has already been established

When this card was revealed, Zheng Ming felt that time was passing a bit slowly. Fortunately, this card did not disappoint him. In that instant of revelation, Zheng Ming saw someone on the card

These two skills left Zheng Ming momentarily unable to make a choice

It is more than sufficient to teach the three grandsons, and even their grandfather, yet it seems to have been used in such a manner that it feels somewhat wasteful

One card after another flashed through Zheng Ming's mind like an unending light curtain. Zheng Ming was unable to make a judgment; he could only randomly focus his thoughts on one card.

The man's handsomeness made Zheng Ming feel somewhat jealous. However, upon seeing this card, he felt a sense of disappointment in his heart

Hehe, as long as it's not the case, you really scared me! Zheng Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some confusion: These branches are perfectly fine on the tree, why did you knock them down? I really don't understand you!

However, compared to the situation where there is a one in ten chance of selecting the card of Xu Xiake, Zheng Ming decided to choose the martial arts card instead

After careful consideration, Zheng Ming decided to first try his hand at drawing a military general card, as one should not be overly ambitious. Moreover, if he could draw another Li Kui, with all his strength, he would be able to make the three grandsons flee in panic!

Although not very familiar with the top experts of the Izumo Kingdom, just by observing Li Ruohai's aura, Zheng Ming felt that it would be more than sufficient to defeat an old man of the tenth rank in an instant

However, there is not a single alchemist in the entire Qingchuan County

On that occasion, the family encountered a crisis. As the father, Zheng Gongxuan, brought his three siblings to this iron gate, he instructed them to take refuge here in case of danger

Once this card is drawn, an opportunity will be granted to unleash the full power of all characters depicted on the card

A three-inch thick blue stone was split into two pieces by Zheng Ming with a single strike. However, Zheng Ming's palm remained unscathed, which is naturally due to the effect of internal strength

Select a martial arts card for extraction

Although there is a surge of anger within, all Zheng Ming can do is to temporarily set this card aside

I am truly fortunate this time, as I have drawn the character Li Ruohai. Zheng Ming, who loved reading novels in his previous life, is no stranger to this character. In fact, if he were to list his top ten favorite martial arts figures, Li Ruohai would undoubtedly be among them

After making this decision, Zheng Ming found that the crimson card in his heart was suddenly replaced by a yellow card

Not limited to one's current strength, could it be that the three basic cards drawn just now were due to one's limited ability, which is why Li Kui and the other three were drawn

He stared intently at Zheng Ming with his large eyes, and before Zheng Ming could speak, he continued: "Second brother, it was wrong of me to mention that Father was fighting for your spot in the Bi Xue Tan. If you feel uncertain, I will head to the county town right now and take care of that Zheng Jinlong!"

That's it!

To know, beating Wu Banjian once only yields a single reputation point

The bookshelf on the left side of the study silently parted, revealing a tightly locked iron door. Zheng Ming stared intently at the dark door, his memories instantly returning to five years ago

Hoping not to draw nothing this time, Zheng Ming silently prayed and directly locked in his choice after confirming a card in his mind

If unable to make a choice, you may save the basic cards for future selection. The mechanical voice echoed in Zheng Ming's ears once again

As he gazed at the covers of the books, a hint of fervor gradually revealed itself in Zheng Ming's eyes

In the moment he made his decision, countless cards began to flicker in his mind again, but this time, among the cards with identical backs, nine out of ten were empty

However, when he examined the card closely, his heart began to twitch again. Damn it, this card, that 1,000 prestige points, was no different from the white flowers.

A low-grade Dihuang Dan can replace a month of intensive training for a martial artist below the tenth rank, and it has special effects when breaking through limitations

However, Zheng Heng's words reminded him that the study contained martial arts techniques collected by his father, which he could use as a reference to select skills from Li Zhong and Xiang Chong.

What levels can I choose from

The study is located in the backyard of the Zheng residence, and for most members of the Zheng family, it is considered a somewhat forbidden area. Inside the study, there are two large bookshelves filled with books

A man who stands firm with a spear, fearless and undaunted

Xu Xiake

Thinking about his future cultivation, Zheng Ming realized that alchemical pills would be indispensable, yet he also felt that the role of herbal medicine in the martial world might be even greater.

He casually picked up a stone, raised his palm like a knife, and struck down at the stone

The emptiness of emptiness, an emptiness that contains nothing

Zheng Ming looked at Zheng Heng with a face full of resentment, wondering how his brother could always think in such a twisted way. Self-immolation? What reason did he have to resort to that!

When this choice was made, Zheng Ming realized that at this moment, the prestige ranking that stood alongside the card in his mind had already turned to zero

There is no such thing, let fate take its course

Unlike the previous selection of basic cards, now Zheng Ming's choice of martial arts cards consists of one hundred cards, of which ninety-nine are blank

Upon hearing about the importance of elixirs, Zheng Ming was very eager to learn the art of alchemy. However, his father, Zheng Gongxuan, informed him that not only does the crafting of elixirs require a high level of innate talent, but it also necessitates a good teacher

Li Zhong's mastery of basic boxing techniques and the herbal remedies of the Jianghu are undoubtedly of considerable use to him now. However, Zheng Ming, who has been in the Great Jin for over a decade, understands even better the benefits of elixirs for cultivation.

Evil Spirit Li Ruohai, with skills Heart of Martial Arts, Blazing Hundred Strikes, and Unity of Man and Horse

He wondered what the outcome would be if he were to draw a one in a thousand chance of a fairy tale card. The moment this thought crossed Zheng Ming's mind, he immediately dismissed it, as a one in a thousand chance was simply too small.

Therefore, after transforming one's body into that of a bear, one can accumulate strength over time and, in one fell swoop, elevate one's bear-hug technique to the fourth level
