nChapter 77: It Turned Greener and More Powerful

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nIt was very late at night.

nWhen Lu Ming arrived home, Xiaobai was sleepy-eyed and waiting for him.

n“You’re not asleep yet?” Lu Ming asked.

n“Waiting for you.”

nCasting a suspicious gaze on Lu Ming, Xiaobai got closer to him and sniffed. Her nose instantly wrinkled. “Master, you smell awful.”

n“Uh.”

nLu Ming scratched his head. This was most probably the smell of the smoke and dust from the cemetery?

n“It’s alright.”

nHe waved his hands.

n“That won’t do.”

nXiaobai pushed Lu Ming into the bathroom. “Quickly go and bathe!”

n“Alright.”

nLu Ming could only smile bitterly.

nXiaobai was normally very obedient but she could be a little stubborn at times. Lu Ming did not mind too. He simply had a great bath.

nAfter he finished bathing. Xiaobai had already fallen asleep while sitting.

n“This child…””

nSmiling, Lu Ming carried Xiaobai to the bed before he went to rest.

nHe did not stay up late to study the cards today. Although the card that Chu Xiao gave him might be very useful, he did not want to wake Xiaobai up with the noises.

nAt night.

nTime quietly passed.

nThe next day.

nWhen Lu Ming woke up early in the morning, he heard that something major happened last night.

nA group of drug traffickers was passing through the cemetery to buy drugs when they encountered the supernatural. For the sake of their personal safety, the first thing that they decided to do was to call the police.

nLu Ming, “o(╯□╰)o”

nWhat else could he say?

nIn the past, he had heard of a case of drug traffickers calling the police in a fit of anger after being cheated in a deal. He thought that this was already amazing enough. He did not expect to hear something even more amazing now.

nThis boundless world has all kinds of strange things!

nAfter breakfast.

nLu Ming then fished out the card given to him by Chu Xiao.

nWell…

nThis was certainly a one-star card.

nHowever…

nLu Ming felt that something was not quite right when he looked at this seemingly ordinary one-star card. Chu Xiao was very solemn and serious when he gave him the card.

nWell…

n“Shall I try sealing it?”

nLu Ming felt energized.

nHe took out the Original Card and aimed it at the card from Chu Xiao.

nBuzz—

nA green light surrounded the card and dissipated into countless green particles.

nWait a minute…

nLu Ming widened his eyes!

nGreen?

nIt was green?!

nSomething was not right!

nDidn’t cards typically dissipate into energy from white particles? Since when did green fluorescent lights appear upon the release of a card? This ability…

nLu Ming suddenly realized what it was.

nHe began to browse the discussion forums on techniques and searched for the information related to green fluorescent lights. After going through dozens of useless crap, he finally found something that he wanted to see.

nAdvanced ability!

nGreen florescent light!

n“Advancement?”

nLu Ming took a deep breath.

nHe knew about advanced abilities.

nIn the past, the Energy Shield cast by Fu Hongming turned into an Energy Mecha due to advanced ability. It was very powerful and even the Teacher An duo was not its match!

nHence, the power of advanced ability was far from ordinary.

nHowever…

nLu Ming had never thought of that…

nThe advanced ability sealed in the card could actually be transformed! Due to the high density of energy condensation, it could even cause the particles to emanate green fluorescent lights!

nThis was entirely different from what he had imagined.

nHe had to know…

nInitially, he had thought that after the Energy Armor was sealed, it would still be an Energy Armor Card. Judging from this, this ability of Fu Hongming, after being sealed, would also become an Energy Armor (Advanced) Card!

n“Advanced ability…”

nLu Ming browsed the web for more its related knowledge and information.

nThe so-called advanced ability referred to the transformation of the basic ability! In addition, the so-called advanced typically meant surpassing the previous level by another level!

nTheoretically, an Advanced Card held by a one-star cultivator could compete with an ordinary two-star card!

nAdvanced Card was much more powerful than ordinary cards. It could be even stronger than higher-star cards due to its great power and also ultra-low energy depletion rate!

nThis point was critical.

nAnd now…

nLu Ming only had one Advanced Card, which was the gift from Chu Xiao, in his hands.

n“Phew—”

nLu Ming took a deep breath.

nThe appearance of the advanced card had opened new doors for him.

nHe started to check for related information. Under normal circumstances, only four-star and above Card Creators would come into contact with these kind of things… However, now…

nHe had come into contact with it.

nIt was akin to school.

nWhen one first learned mathematics, one would be aware that there were more mathematics knowledge to be picked up in university. However, how many people out there knew the content of the mathematics syllabus in university?

nEuclidean space?

nHilbert space?

nCoordinate transformation and base conversion?

n…

nNo.

nOne was not aware.

nOne might not know of them even after graduation.

nAnd now…

nLu Ming was in a predicament.

nThrough his shabby knowledge, he conscientiously searched for related information on the topic and finally found a list of recommended books on foundational knowledge.

nWell…

n“Related Knowledge and Thesis on Card Hierarchy Theory”, ten thousand yuan.

nThis was one of the books in the wide knowledge literature collection of the Card Creators Association. Lu Ming glanced at the price and decided to buy it without hesitation.

nHierarchy…

nSealing…

nAdvancement?

nThat’s right.

nCard Creators also had advancement techniques!

nIf Card Creators only had the basic sealing ability, how could they possibly develop into such powerful characters?

nIn the book, Lu Ming read that a powerful Card Creator could even transform an ordinary technique card into a powerful advanced card!

nIt was simply amazing and powerful!

nOf course.

nIn this book, whether a Beginner Card Creator, Intermediate Card Creator or Advanced Card Creator… They were all in the process of picking up new techniques constantly. All were at their most basic levels.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nAfter conscientiously reading this book, he realized that he had been too complacent.

nHe even dared to read these kind of books now!

nOf course.

nThis book was all about theories.

nIt did not include the technical aspect. It was solely to widen Lu Ming’s knowledge.

nIt turned out that…

nThis was what a real Card Creator was about!

nOf course.

nAfter digesting this information, Lu Ming’s gaze landed on the card in his hands again.

nAdvancement, surmounting levels… Lu Ming did not know much about these techniques. Most likely, he was not qualified to learn them too. He would rather focus on studying this card.

nIt had turned green and also become more powerful.

n“Chu Xiao asked me to investigate his past?”

nLu Ming thought about it.

nCould he find out about this ability from his past?

nLu Ming then browsed the Internet and was instantly stunned. Due to Chu Xiao’s special status, information on the few abilities of Chu Xiao was actually available on the web!

nWhat was Chu Xiao’s profession?

nA unique Elementalist!

nThe so-called ‘unique’ referred to niche professions that could not even be classified into an occupation group. They were thus categorized as ‘unique’.

nChu Xiao’s ability was Isolation Film.

nThe effect…

nWell…

nIt shielded blue light, radiation and prevented fingerprints.

nYes.

nIn his teens, he provided services for pasting screen protectors or films on electronic devices at the school entrance. He would summon the Isolation Film and then paste it on the devices for hard-earned money.

nHe had been in this line of work for several years until the day where his ability advanced!

nThe Film Magic evolved.

nIt not only isolated blue light and radiation but also a very powerful thing.

nHence…

nUsing his advanced ability, Chu Xiao studied and invented a series of abilities. He had become increasingly powerful ever since. His combat ability was frightening!

nMagic Film!

nHe summoned a real tempered film in the air that could block the attacks of magic.

nDefense Film!

nIt could cover any part of the body with a layer of thin-film and stop all breath, aura, and ability from getting out.

nSuffocation Film!

nIt could simply mask the enemy’s face; the top choice of a sadomasochist.

nCloaking Film!

nIt enabled lights to penetrate and cover oneself to become invisible.

n…

nWait a minute.

nLu Ming was amazed.

nThis was very powerful!

nThis was his first thought.

nThis was so frugal!

nThis was his second thought. With this ability, one could even save on condoms…

nHe was good.

nLu Ming took his hat off.

nIt was no wonder Chu Xiao asked him to browse the Internet. Look, his history said it all.

nTherefore…

nLu Ming glanced at the card in his hands.

nThe card given to him by Chu Xiao was his most basic Isolation Film?

nWhat did he mean?

nLu Ming was a little puzzled. Did he want him to provide screen protector pasting services or sell condoms?

nWell…

nThis was something worth pondering.
