Chapter 320 - What Is the Use of Having You?!



Chapter 320: What Is the Use of Having You?!

Tian Du City.

At the Sword Card Master association.

The disciples who were carrying out research in their respective areas jumped in shock. They heard a deafening sound and then the alarm shrieked...

“Did something happen?!”

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Swoosh!

Lights and shadows flashed.

Zhao Yunshan was the first to dash out and charge to the testing area. Li Haoran, who had left the place not long ago, simply returned. Everyone in the association rushed to the testing area.

Afterward...

There was unanimous silence.

“This...”

Zhao Yunshan furrowed his brows tightly.

In front of him...

The entire testing area appeared. All the testing equipment and facilities were still around. He did not know why but he felt that something was not quite right.

“This direction...”

Li Haoran also felt that something was amiss.

He had a hunch...

“Master.”

Li Haoran pointed to the empty space a distance away. “I remember that the testing area used to be there?”

“No! Impossible! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Lu Ming looked solemn.

But...

Li Haoran sighed and pointed to the current position of the testing area. “But there is a power outage...”

Yes.

The power supply had been cut off.

The facilities that were initially working fine had stopped working...

A distance away, on that stretch of empty land, he could vaguely see some electricity sparks rising from the wires buried underground... conveying that they were originally not like that.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Cough, cough.

“I’m assessing if the geomancy of the testing area is good. Thus, I made slight adjustments...”

Everyone was speechless.

Damn! The geomancy was not good!

“Master.”

Li Haoran gingerly suggested, “This is our own place. Go easy on it...”

At a distance, Xiaobai and the rest could not help but secretly laughed.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

This Carry Card must be kidding him! Who the hell knew that it would have such an effect!

Initially, it carried him and escaped. Later on, it carried the enemies and ran off and finally, it carried the vocation cores and fled. Now, it could actually... Damn! It could actually carry a building and run off!!!

This was too much of a fraud?!

What was the use of this??

What was the use of this??

What kind of rubbish card was this?

It was crap!

Cough, cough.

Zhao Yunshan looked outside the window. “Master, I’m in the midst of some experiment. I’ll make a move first.”

“Master.”

Salted Crispy Chicken’s tiny face could not contain his smile. “I have signed up for a competition and am researching my opponents. I’ll also make a move.”

“Heehee.”

Xiaobai was smiling the most, her two big eyes turned crescent-shaped. “Master, I’ve already prepared some papaya soup. I’ll go back and cook the rice and dishes.”

Upon finishing her words...

Xiaobai also slipped away.

In the testing area of the association, Lu Ming was the only one left again...

He was expressionless.

Damn!

His dignity as a master...

Sigh.

The disciples nowadays are really not as good as before...

Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.

After the disciples left, Lu Ming began to research the card’s functions again. This was such a large testing area and it had been shifted by about a hundred meters!

That was right!

It was moved from this side of the base to the other!

To hell with it!

Where was the promised ‘could withstand the testing below seven-star’?

The testing area was huge.

All sorts of equipment, facilities and energy contained within the area could increase the energy of this testing area to an extremely high level. An ordinary attack could not possibly move it!

In that case...

This was another technique that disregarded defense!

At the very least, the conventional defense techniques had no impact on this ability! It sounded very amazing but it would be even better if it could also disregard attack techniques...

“I’ll try it again next time when I have the chance.”

Lu Ming sighed.

As to the name for this card series. Well... He would call it a Mover Card.

Look at the effect. If he could not survive in the future, he could set up a mover company and name it ‘Little Lu Logistics’. Perhaps he could even make a name for himself in the business industry.

“Xiao-Xiaojian.”

“Yes.”

“Are you able to retain the lines of a card?”

“I can do that for three-star and below cards.”

“Therefore, if I want to use cards with a similar effect to the Sunlight Card or Mover Card next time, I’ll have to use the lines integrated by seven cards?”

“Yes.”

“Can you make them appear directly?”

“No.”

Lu Ming sighed. “What’s the use of having you?!”

It was a dignified card but did not even have the ability to retain something!

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

For the lines to appear on the Original Card, it needed to memorize everything! Do you know how complex the lines of a five-star limit card were?!

If you’re that smart, why can’t you remember them yourself?

You can’t even remember the lines of a two-star Demolition Card, don’t you feel embarrassed telling me off?

“Don’t spirit bodies remember everything that it sees?”

Lu Ming was filled with doubts.

“Who told you that?”

Xiao-Xiaojian sneered. “Get it to try remembering the lines on the card. Do you know how many lines there are? If it can remember them, yours truly will devour raw...”

“Xiao-Xiaobai said that,” Lu Ming said sullenly.

Shush!

All of a sudden, there was silence in the surrounding.

Xiao-Xiaobai...

Xiao-Xiaojian fell silent.

Snort!

That thing was basically a black sheep of the spirit body world!

As a spirit body, it was actually interested in things such as mathematics and geometry! One could tell at one glance that it was not a decent spirit body! It would defeat it sooner or later!

“I’ll buy you some books to improve your memory later, titles such as ‘Secret Formula to the Memory Maze’. You better improve your memory,” Lu Ming told it.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Damn!

It was a dignified sword spirit. Why did it have to learn this?!

After teaching Xiao-Xiaojian a lesson, Lu Ming felt more calm.. He took a glance at the Desolation Card in his hands but dared not integrate anymore new cards!

There was no other choice.

He did not dare to use them!

The prowess of five-star cards was too terrifying!

Although the prowess of the Sunlight Card was average, it covered a wide geographical area and had special effects. Furthermore, when it was cast, it could cause a huge commotion and was extremely frightening!

Mover Card...

It was the same!

What about the Demolition Card which could already kick up a storm?

Uh...

He would leave it as it was for the time being.

Lu Ming sighed.

He reckoned that when the five-star Demolition Card series was out, he might not even have a home anymore...

Hence...

He would hold on a little further.

Lu Ming gave up on researching the five-star cards.

Well...

Research on new cards?

With the support of the association now, Lu Ming could continue to research but he decided not to do so after considering his priorities.

There was no other reason.

He had no use for them!!!

In theory, at this point in time, he should research blood and healing type of abilities. However, in reality, such abilities were useless to him...

Seriously...

Think about it. What was Lu Ming’s strength now?

Intermediate four-star level!

Intermediate five-star combat ability!

Lu Ming could now disregard the opponents who were below intermediate five-star level. Be it with using the Stealing Card or Moonblade, Lu Ming could teach them a lesson at any point in time!

Injured?

No way!

When he encountered intermediate five-star and above ones...

Well...

Before an opponent of that level, Lu Ming would always go all out to cast his full power and strive to kill his opponent instantly with one strike!

It was a situation of life and death!

Under those circumstances...

The Healing Card was actually not that useful.

Based on the few recent crises that Lu Ming experienced, the Healing Card’s effect was truly only so-so.

Of course.

There would still be some use.

However, in terms of priorities...

Of course, it had been deprioritized.

“Let’s not be anxious.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

His current priority was to improve his combat ability and then Xiao-Xiaojian’s, and also to ensure that he could unleash his ultimate prowess, followed by the rest of the matters.

For example, levels!

To the current Lu Ming, the improvement in the energy quality would increase his combat ability the most!

Therefore...

Regardless of the circumstances, he needed to maintain the highest level of efficiency!

“It’s time to increase the cultivation speed.”

Lu Ming seemed to be in thought.

“Xiao-Xiaojian.”

“Yes?”

“What card are you using for your cultivation now?”

“Sunlight Card...”

“How’s the effect?”

“I can temper 0.1% per day!”

Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.

“So slow?”

Lu Ming was taken aback.

This speed referred to how fast it would take to temper from intermediate four-star to advanced four-star level!

On average, it could temper 0.1% per day!

This meant that...

He would need one thousand days to attain advanced four-star!

Also!

You’re a Sunlight Card!

A top-notch five-star limit card!

This far surpassed the other cards that Lu Ming had at the current stage!

In theory, this card’s cultivation speed should be comparable to that of a standard six-star card. It should be enough to make the Original Card’s cultivation speed increase tremendously!

“What do you think?”

Xiao-Xiaojian’s tone was gloomy.

It had never seen anyone with an upper limit of one hundred thousand energy points...

Even a six-star limit could not withstand this, much less a five-star limit? If Lu Ming only had ten thousand points of energy, Xiao-Xiaojian only needed three months to advance!

Cough, cough.

Lu Ming coughed.

That was right.

He had almost forgotten the upper limit of his energy level...

However, he had no regrets at all. If he did not possess this massive hundred thousand points of energy, all the effects of his trump cards would be ‘discounted’. He would have died long ago!

A hundred thousand points of energy was the reason why he could engage in combat with someone of a higher level!

However...

The current cultivation speed was certainly a problem.

“Let me think for a while...”

Lu Ming was deep in thoughts.

Cultivation speed...

This was the most important matter!

This was because Xiao-Xiaojian could cultivate unconditionally for twenty-four hours a day like a plug-in. Therefore, the increase in the Sword Card Master cultivation speed was of the utmost priority!

There was no other!

However, the Sunlight Card was already the most difficult card that he had created at this moment!

As for the other cards...

“Perhaps... I should look for some professional Cultivation Cards?”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

In the early stages, he cultivated on his own to improve his energy. If he were to only use the Cultivation Cards to cultivate, almost all the cards that he created would be wasted. Therefore, he chose to use ordinary cards to improve himself. However, if it was Xiao-Xiaojian, he could completely choose to use the most professional Cultivation Cards!

Well...

At the thought of this, Lu Ming accessed the card database.

Data filtered— Cultivation Card.

Shush!

One by one, the cards appeared.

From one-star to six-star, there were actually corresponding Cultivation Cards for every level! Lu Ming clicked open one of them and looked at the data inside.

——

Card name: Scorching Flames Burning Sky

Card rating: Three-star

Effects of technique: Stimulate a flaming scene and provide the cultivator with easier cultivation techniques.

Suitable vocation: Fire element related vocations (Elementalist, Fire Element Demon Warrior etc.)

Note 1: The temperature of the items in the scene will increase.

Note 2: It is prohibited to use this card to carry out adult X behavior. One will be responsible for the consequences of any danger to life or damage to the physical body that results from the prohibited action.

——

Lu Ming was somewhat stunned.

Well...

He could understand the first part but what did the last two notes mean? Therefore, he specially researched online. Afterward, he could not come to his senses for a long time.

I can’t believe... that this would do as well?!

Tsk tsk.

City dwellers really know how to have fun.

Forget it.

Lu Ming scrolled down the pages.

Besides this, he actually saw the xx series of Fruit Ninja Card customized for the cultivation of various vocations. It was amazing.

Oo...

There seemed to be something wrong with the way he filtered the information.

Lu Ming filtered again and specially selected Card Creator, four-star.

Shush!

Before his eyes...

There was only one lonely card.

——

Card name: Standard four-star Cultivation Card.

Card rating: Four-star.

Cultivation effect: Cultivation of lines for Card Creators. Although the lines are of a high difficulty level, it is extraordinarily neat and tidy. It can result in a higher cultivation efficiency.

Combat effect: Zero. (The lines on the Cultivation Card are optimal for cultivation use. They are more complex and difficult but may not necessarily possess any functions.)

Creation difficult level: Four-star

——

Should he give it a try?

Lu Ming bought the copyrights without any hesitation.

This Cultivation Card had standard four-star lines. Although the difficulty level was higher, this was not a problem to the current Lu Ming at all!

Very soon...

He created this card successfully.

Afterward...

The effect was slightly weaker!

After all, this was merely a four-star Cultivation Card and could not be compared to the five-star limit Sunlight Card!

Perhaps he could try integrating?

Shush!

Seven Cultivation Cards were integrated!

Buzz—

One four-star limit card appeared.

Its efficiency level was not good enough?

Again!

Shush!

Seven cards were integrated again.

After half a day, Lu Ming successfully integrated into one five-star limit superb Cultivation Card, although this could only be stored in Xiao-Xiaojian’s Original Card!

Buzz—

Buzz—

Faint lights and shadows circulated.

Xiao-Xiaojian began to follow the lines in the Original Card and cultivated it.

“How’s it?”

Lu Ming was full of anticipation.

This was a five-star limit Cultivation Card!

Theoretically...

The cultivation effect should far exceed that of the Sunlight Card. This was also the first card created by Lu Ming that had the highest cultivation speed! He could not cultivate with it!

Xiao-Xiaojian was the only one that could use it to cultivate!

In normal circumstances, only a six-star was qualified to use such a Cultivation Card!

And right now...

“There’s no problem with the card.”

Xiao-Xiaojian said softly, “This card’s cultivation speed is more than ten times that of the Sunlight Card.”

“Oh?”

Lu Ming was overjoyed.

True enough.

He knew that it would not go wrong!

However, when he sensed the current progress of the cultivation. “I don’t feel any difference in the cultivation speed...”

“This is the problem.”

Xiao-Xiaojian said gloomily, “In the past, I thought that the problem lies with the type of card but now that the card has been changed to a better one, I then realized something...

Your talent is simply too poor!”

Must be freaking kidding me!

It had been pondering the reason for the slow cultivation speed.

Seriously...

As a dignified six-star sword spirit, it wanted to recover as soon as possible. After mulling over it umpteen times, it guessed that the problem might lie with the energy or the speed of the Cultivation Card...

However...

Now.

After the card was changed, it then realized that it did not have anything to do with the card. Ultimately...

Lu Ming’s talent was too poor!

Lu Ming’s talent was the deciding factor that it could only accept a cultivation speed of this level. There was an upper limit. It was useless even if a better card was used!

Sunlight Card?

Perhaps it was already more than enough!

Lu Ming was suddenly silent.

He suddenly thought of the times when he played games. That period of time felt the most real to him...

If he were to lose, he would blame it on the graphics card. Low refresh rate, 60Hz was crap the videos would appear smoother only at 144 Hz and above? The screen was too blurry at 1080p, it needed resolutions beyond 2K! What garbage was a TN panel? IPS was the way to go. What rubbish mouse was that? Would the resolution be clear without 15000 DPI? I couldn’t even move to that side with a mouse, what a lousy mouse pad! I didn’t hear it when someone went behind me earlier. What kind of crappy headset was this! Don’t you feel ashamed to call yourself a game headset without 7.1 surround sound? Crap! I set up a shortcut key earlier but it didn’t work! What a rubbish keyboard! There must have been a keyboard mapping conflict!

One day, when he changed everything to the latest peripherals...

Afterward...

Ten consecutive defeats!

It was during that time that Lu Ming found the crux of the reason for his repeated failures...

Rubbish!

It must be because the Internet connection was poor!

Crappy telecommunications. It’s all the fault of Unicom, Mobile, CCT[1], Great Firewall...

Well...

There was nothing wrong with them!

Therefore...

After Lu Ming’s evaluation, the source of his slow cultivation speed was Xiao-Xiaojian! As an ancient sword spirit, you actually don’t have a proper cultivation skill?!

It was crap!

“Tell me.

Xiao-Xiaobai knows how to cultivate and buy groceries on her own. She even knows how to read!

Sister’s Xiaolan knows how to navigate across a thousand miles and slay the enemies... What about you?

What do you know?!

If you don’t know anything. What’s the use of having you then?”

Lu Ming asked.

Xiao-Xiaojian broke out in a sweat. What did it have to do with me?

“Sigh.

I don’t have very high expectations of you. You just have to focus on cultivating...

Regardless of my talent, since you can control the Original Card, you have to find a suitable cultivation technique, right?

Look.”

Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs. “The other two are also new ecology spirit bodies. Both are that outstanding. As an ancient sword spirit, you don’t know anything. Don’t you feel ashamed at all?”

Xiao-Xiaojian contemplated seriously.

W-what Lu Ming said sounded logical?

“Is that the case?”

“Of course.”

...

After a long while...

Upon Lu Ming’s guidance and teaching, Xiao-Xiaojian was finally enlightened. Although it felt that it had been fooled... Xiao-Xiaobai’s contempt was very true!

It was furious about this!

You’re merely a new spirit body, on what grounds can you look down on me?!

Yes.

It was down and out now and had a slow cultivation speed. It also did not know how some young body spirits work but it was once an ancient sword spirit. How could it be looked down upon?

Hence...

Xiao-Xiaojian carried the outdated cell phone of Lu Ming and began to find solutions on its own.

Snort!

It was ridiculous!

Wasn’t it just the cultivation speed?

With my years of experience, as long as I adapt to the rules of this era, I will surpass you in minutes...

Well...

He keyed in ‘cultivation speed’ and ‘improvement’ in the search engine.

Although it had not used it before, it had seen Lu Ming using it many times. As such, it was not a problem to use the engine. Many results appeared after the search was confirmed.

Well...

Most were ordinary cultivation methods. Nevertheless...

Eh?

What is this?

“Can You Continue to Endure the Cultivation Speed of a Tortoise?”

“How to Increase Your Cultivation Speed by a Hundred Fold?”

Xiao-Xiaojian clicked open it curiously. It described various ways to increase cultivation speed, double-cultivation, star absorption method... It was very amazing and intriguing...

It did not seem expensive either?

Eh?

Double-cultivation?

Triple-cultivation?

N cultivation?

Xiao-Xiaojian was feeling excited.

Ah, the name already sounded very tempting. It suddenly thought of its lost youth, the glow under the sunset and the red sword in the past that increased its heartbeat...

It had a vague feeling...

It was going to rise back to powers soon!

Snort!

It was time to make Xiao-Xiaobai wake up and experience the horror of an ancient sword spirit!

Hence...

It could not stop itself from clicking continuously.
