129: Chapter 128 [Wuzhiqi]'s New Gains

Chapter 128: [ Wuzhiqi ]'s New Harvest (Asking for subscription and monthly votes)

Sun Po looked at the text on the box and excitedly read out its sequence name:

" [ Double-Blade Chef ]?! "

Sun Po had always wanted to research the relationship between [ spirit meal ] and the Tianhe Water Mansion Kitchen. This [ Double-Blade Chef ] came at just the right time; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have known where to find such a card.

After all, there were many pure combat-type cards, but cards with lifestyle skills like this were extremely rare—at least Sun Po had never seen one before.

Furthermore, he happened to have a [ Fragment of Yi Yin's Soup Cauldron ] that he picked up from the Jinyang City card-making material market. Sun Po had been yearning to find a suitable card for this material, and now it had delivered itself right to his doorstep!

He took out the [ Fragment of Yi Yin's Soup Cauldron ] and looked at it, feeling a bit regretful in his heart.

This material was severely damaged, and its spirituality had dissipated heavily, leaving it with only a [ Blue 7-Star ] quality.

In other words, even if this card had a MOD loaded, its quality likely wouldn't be too high, but Sun Po hadn't planned on creating this card for combat anyway.

" Lower quality is fine; as long as it's related to the [ spirit meal ], it'll do. "

With that, Sun Po tossed the [ Fragment of Yi Yin's Soup Cauldron ] aside.

He opened the golden box and immediately decided to start card-making, but he didn't notice that the [ Fragment of Yi Yin's Soup Cauldron ] happened to land right next to the strange material sent by President Chen Wang. The materials placed in the golden box weren't many, but they were still outrageous: a red square piece of paper, an unknown black block,

and a palm-sized pink mushroom.

However, this wasn't Sun Po's first time making cards, and he was already accustomed to situations where the materials and the resulting cards had completely no relation to each other.

[ Wuzhiqi ]'s voice suddenly sounded: " Master, after watching you make cards so many times, it seems I have gained some insights. "

Hearing this, Sun Po instantly raised his guard to the maximum. Ever since the [ Changyou ] period, Sun Po knew that whenever [ Wuzhiqi ] claimed to have gained something, it meant something extraordinary was about to happen.

[ Water Element Summoning Technique ], [ Dao Fruit of Water ], [ Tianhe Xuanwu Great Array ]—

which of those times wasn't a major change that completely altered his overall tactical style?

Seeing Sun Po's all-ears expression, [ Wuzhiqi ] actually felt a bit pressured:

" Master, I merely made some guesses by combining all the voices of fate I've heard with the many bizarre things we've encountered recently. It's nothing certain. "

Sun Po said, " It's fine. Card-making is inherently deeply mysterious, always shrouded in mist. Just go ahead and tell me what you've got. "

[ Wuzhiqi ]'s voice rang out: " Whenever you, Master, came into contact with materials and made cards multiple times, I always heard many chaotic voices of fate. "

" Previously, when I first inherited the divine name [ Wuzhiqi ], I only felt that those voices of fate were mostly chaotic and unbearable, with very few that could be heard clearly. But ever since ascending to divinity, I felt that the world inside my ears had changed—or rather, the materials inside my ears had changed. "

Sun Po grew interested upon hearing this. The last time they made the [ Wrongfully Deceased Scholar ] card, it was also [ Wuzhiqi ] who managed to hear out the location of [ Huang Chao ]'s true name fragment. Therefore, he now attached great importance to what [ Wuzhiqi ] could hear, especially since practical examples were right there before him.

" This red square paper should originate from a monster called [ Strange Dan ], and it seems to have zero connection to a card like [ Double-Blade Chef ]. "

Sun Po pinched it up and found it was indeed as [ Wuzhiqi ] had said:

[ Card-Making Material Analysis ]

[ Rouge Paper of the Strange Dan ]

Quality: [ Green 2-Star ]

Description: [ Rouge paper used for makeup by the leading dan of the eerie opera troupe ]

This material currently has no compatible card to load. Sun Po asked, " Indeed, so what? This isn't the first time the created cards and materials have had completely no relation. "

[ Wuzhiqi ] said, " But now, the voice of fate for the [ Double-Blade Chef ] is incomparably clear in my ears. Although chaotic, it is no longer vague. It's as if I can completely hear how many entanglements of fate are intertwined inside this material: chefs, servants, scholars, soldiers—these are the louder and fuller echoes of fate— "

Sun Po's head hurt from listening, and he asked, " You mean this tiny material could potentially be used to make so many different cards? "

[ Wuzhiqi ] shook his head and said, " Not quite, Master. It's not just this material; the interior of every material hides many fragmented, intertwined voices of fate. The higher the tier of the material, the more numerous and complex the intertwined voices of fate within it are. "

" However, most of these voices of fate are chaotic, fragmented, twisted, and mutated. Aside from my ears, probably very few people can know what they looked like in life. Even if I can discern what they looked like in life, I can only know which materials contain the shattered, intertwined, and twisted fates of the same individual. "

Sun Po felt a shock in his heart: " You mean you can hear which materials contain the same echo of fate? "

[ Wuzhiqi ] said, " I couldn't do it before; I couldn't hear clearly. "

" Now, for materials of green quality and below, where the number of fate entanglements is fewer, I can hear them clearly. "

" Furthermore, I always feel as if these materials had these intertwined fates forcibly shoved into them by someone, which is why the discrepancy between the entire card sequence and the materials is so massive. "

Someone forcibly shoved these intertwined fates into the same material? Who has such incredible capability? The authorities? The aristocratic families?

If someone had this kind of ability, wouldn't all the major secret realms have long become humanity's backyard? Why would there still be any need to garrison the extraterritorial realms?

Wait, extraterritorial realms? Could it be the work of the extraterritorial entities?

Just as Sun Po was guessing, he suddenly realized an even more outrageous matter:

" Doesn't that mean you can figure out the materials needed for the card-making sequences of all low-tier cards? "

[ Wuzhiqi ] said, " I can't do that right now. I can only hear which materials have the voices of fate of the same individual intertwined within them, but how to release them is not something I can hear out right now. "

Sun Po thought to himself, " That's enough, monkey. Leave a way out for others; stop showing off so hard!! "

If you said right now that you could crack all low-tier cards, that would truly be terrifying. Moreover, the difficulty has already been drastically reduced. It's equivalent to others having to find a card-making sequence through a needle-in-a-haystack exhaustive search, gathering the correct materials, and then precisely performing the correct ritual just to succeed in making a card.

But [ Wuzhiqi ] directly skipped a step compared to others. For cards made from materials of green quality and below, [ Wuzhiqi ] only needed to analyze the card-making ritual within them to successfully know a card-making sequence.

And what was even more terrifying was that as [ Wuzhiqi ]'s Six-Eared constitution improved, would there come a day when it could directly hear out the intertwined fates in all materials?

By that time, wouldn't Sun Po be equivalent to being omniscient and omnipotent regarding all card-making sequences?

But what [ Wuzhiqi ] said next shocked Sun Po even more.
