131: A Bountiful Harvest and Storage Ingenuity

Lu Yuan looked at Lin Haige, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and whose life force was rapidly fading, and found it amusing.

If he had known this day would come, why did he act that way in the first place?

His Source Power was drained, the secret technique suffered a severe backlash, and the side effects of the pills also erupted all at once.

He was simply down on his luck.

Lin Haige couldn't understand why he had failed so miserably, so...frustratingly, despite having pushed his power to Tier 5!

"I told you, today is your death day."

Lu Yuan decided to end his suffering. The ancient sea shark war halberd in his hand whistled through the air as he swung it down decisively.

Pfft!

Lin Haige's head flew high, the distorted expression on his face frozen forever.

His headless body swayed and then fell heavily to the ground.

A generation's president had met his end.

"Jee?"

The Flame Sprite poked its small head out from Lu Yuan's embrace, curiously watching the scene.

Lu Yuan ignored it, his gaze falling on the spot where Lin Haige's body had dissipated.

Whoosh—

With Lin Haige's complete death, a dazzling light burst forth, and then an astonishing number of cards and various materials scattered across the ground, shimmering with different colored lights.

"Hoo!"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing within them.

This guy really dropped a lot of stuff!

The Flame Sprite also seemed attracted by the colorful lights, chirping and flying over curiously, circling the cards.

Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and began to rapidly count the spoils of war.

"Good heavens!"

The first things he picked up were several cards emanating a rich purple glow.

"One, two... a full eight purple-quality cards!"

Lu Yuan's heart filled with joy.

He examined them carefully.

The first was the [Bloodflame Bone Bird Summoning card], four-star purple, which was the very beast Lin Haige had ridden earlier. Its skills included [Bone Thorn Volley] and [Bloodflame Dive], which were quite good.

The second was [Explosive Qi], three-star purple, a one-time consumable that greatly boosted Source Power for a short period but had extreme side effects. Lu Yuan curled his lip; he wouldn't dare use that thing.

The third was the [Blood Shadow Escape Technique card], four-star purple, a movement skill card for escaping.

The fourth was an equipment card, [Bloodthirsty Bone Claw], four-star purple, which could enhance melee attack power and came with a lifesteal effect... Among them were two broken purple source cards, which weren't worth mentioning, so he skipped them directly.

"Hmm, these few are decent; I can sell them later."

Lu Yuan put them into his card pack, his gaze falling on the last card, his eyes lighting up.

This card was perfectly intact; it was the [Source Gathering Array Plate], a four-star purple item card that could set up a small Source Gathering Array to increase Source Power recovery speed.

"This one's good! I can use it myself."

"Oh? There's also an orange one!"

Beneath a pile of purple cards, there was also a card emitting an orange glow.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked it up.

[Earth-Shaking Profound Armor Shield], a five-star orange equipment card!

This was a treasure!

However, when he looked closely, the joy on his face froze.

He saw several clear cracks on the bottom right corner of the card, though not as severe as the two purple cards, it still indicated its state—a broken source card.

This was a great pity; it could only be sold for money.

Besides these high-quality cards, there were also a dozen or so green and blue cards on the ground, mostly low-tier skill cards and material cards. Lu Yuan glanced at them briefly and collected them all.

"Better than nothing, I guess."

"I'm rich! This guy is indeed worthy of being Jiangcheng's president; his foundation is truly impressive!" Lu Yuan finished counting and couldn't help but exclaim.

Presumably, the other members of the Zhou Family wouldn't be too bad either. This secret realm trip would likely make him completely rich.

"Jiji!" The Flame Sprite seemed very interested in a [Black Iron Ore Vein] resource card shimmering with a light blue aura, nudging it with its small head.

"You like this?" Lu Yuan picked up the card and dangled it in front of the Little Fellow.

The Little Fellow nodded repeatedly, its small eyes sparkling.

"Alright, it's yours," Lu Yuan handed the card to it casually.

The Flame Sprite chirped happily, opened its small mouth, and swallowed the card whole, then let out a tiny burp, and the flames on its head seemed to grow a little more vigorous.

Lu Yuan watched in amazement, growing even more curious about this Little Fellow's identity.

But these were all external possessions.

The greatest gain, of course, was Lin Haige's immense Source Power.

Lu Yuan looked inward; the vast Source Power absorbed by the Heaven and Earth Origin Power Great Teleportation had completely filled him.

"This wave, at least sixteen thousand points of Source Power are in the bag!" Lu Yuan's heart was filled with excitement.

"The Heaven and Earth Origin Power Great Teleportation is getting smoother to use, it's practically designed to counter these idiots who like to burst with power in battle!"

"Massive profit! This wave is truly a massive profit!"

After the joy, new problems also arose.

Lu Yuan shoved all the cards into his card pack.

Soon, he realized something was wrong.

"It... it won't fit!"

His card pack, which was originally quite spacious, was now bulging with various cards, like a ball about to burst.

Especially the low-quality green and blue cards, which were numerous and took up a lot of space.

Even the high-quality purple cards and that broken orange card had almost no place to go.

Lu Yuan frowned, a little vexed.

"So many low-level cards, they're tasteless to keep, a pity to discard, and they take up space."

He scratched his head.

"It seems Card Masters in this world all use card packs."

"I haven't heard of any convenient tools like storage rings or space bracelets."

Lu Yuan recalled information about this world.

"Everyone goes out carrying a card pack; at most, the material and capacity of the card pack vary according to their strength and wealth."

"But..."

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Yuan's mind.

"Since there are space-attribute beasts and skills, such as certain special demonic beasts that are naturally able to open small storage spaces."

"Then could there be... space-attribute equipment cards? Or, special cards specifically for storage?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"For example... a storage card?"

"Or, a space-assist card that can greatly expand the capacity of a card pack?"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Next time I'm gambling on cards, maybe I can consider this direction!"

"If such a card really exists, that would be too convenient!"

"I'll never have to worry about having too many spoils of war and nowhere to put them again."

He silently kept this thought in mind.

"Jiji! Jiji-chatter!"

Just as Lu Yuan was pondering, the Flame Sprite in his arms suddenly cried out anxiously, its small claws continuously tugging at his clothes, pointing in a certain direction.

It seemed to sense that the "good thing" it spoke of was not far away.

"Alright, Little Fellow, let's continue!"

Lu Yuan composed himself, temporarily suppressing those scattered thoughts.

The most urgent task was to follow the Little Fellow to find the secret of the stone tablet.

He re-summoned the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon.

Golden light shone, and the majestic Light Falcon appeared on the reef.

Lu Yuan flipped onto the falcon's back.

"Little Fellow, lead the way!"
