Global Card Master: Start Awakening the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chapter 1 Mountains and Seas!

[Countdown to the official launch of the Global Card Master Game: 12:00:00]

"Did you see it?"

"This line of words in front of me!"

"What does this countdown mean?"

Jiang Ming put down the paper in his hand, picked up his phone, turned on the screen, and the line of words in front of him overlapped perfectly with the words on the screen.

But we can vaguely see that the Internet has exploded now.

Countless people are vying to post on certain websites, forums, and blogs, sharing what they have seen online.

After watching for a while, Jiang Ming turned off his phone.

It is certain that most people can see this line of words.

Among them are Jiang Ming and other high school students who are over 16 years old.

"Brother Ming, you saw it too, right?" Fan Huai, his deskmate, trembled slightly and pushed Jiang Ming, interrupting his thoughts, his expression mixed with excitement and fear. "Those words."

Jiang Ming nodded calmly and pointed to the person in front of him: "I think everyone in the class saw it."

As excitement gradually took over, fear no longer existed, and Fan Huai's expression became more and more excited: "Do you think it will be true?"

Jiang Ming thought for a moment: "Logically speaking, since so many people can see this sentence and still can't touch it, it should be true."

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Fan Huai nodded excitedly and was about to agree.

"However, this kind of thing doesn't make sense, so it's not necessarily true." Jiang Ming poured cold water on him again.

Fan Huai's face froze, but when he saw the expressions of other students, he became excited again: "I feel like my time to rise is coming!"

"Oh? Why?"

Jiang Ming didn't even raise his head and continued to work on the test paper. He had just wasted a few minutes, which was enough time to finish a big question.

Fan Huai took out his phone and pointed at the icon on it: "I usually like to play card games, Star Summoning, Yu-Gi-Oh, Card Master and so on."

Jiang Ming stared at the question without moving his eyes. He thought about it and said perfunctorily: "Well, what next?"

“Oh, yes!!”

Fan Huai suddenly remembered something and leaned close to Jiang Ming's ear: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. I suspect that this card maker game is likely to ask you to write a background and then draw an image, and then you can make a card. So you should quickly read mythological stories and find the background stories of some powerful characters."

Seeing Jiang Ming's suspicious expression, Fan Huai became anxious: "Don't disbelieve me, this is what I've read in all the card novels."

Jiang Ming nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll go and see it."

After saying that, he picked up the test paper in his hand and continued to work on it, ignoring the countdown.

As a qualified time traveler, Jiang Ming set his goal on studying as soon as he traveled through time.

This is the most effective way for him to improve himself that he can currently master.

After all, the population of the Federation is as high as tens of billions, which is more than the population in the previous life. So many people can see this line of words and enter the game.

To stand out from so many people, Jiang Ming still feels that studying is more practical. At least his grades are pretty good now.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.

A figure rushed into the classroom.

It was the homeroom teacher who was absent before.

"Students, please be quiet." He shouted, then quickly turned on the classroom's multimedia, connected to the Internet, and opened the federal news channel.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the familiar figure on the screen.

"Now for an urgent news break."

"Due to unknown reasons, abnormal text has appeared in the vision of humans over the age of sixteen across the Federation. This phenomenon has not yet been found in other species."

"The Federation has established the Card Master Management Bureau to conduct a full investigation into this matter."

"At present, apart from affecting vision, no other negative effects of the countdown have been found. Residents from all regions are requested to remain calm and not panic. If any abnormality occurs, please contact the local police immediately."

The scene stopped abruptly, and the head teacher knocked on the blackboard, "You have all seen the news, don't panic, try to pretend those words don't exist."

"Due to unexpected circumstances, the school is closed today and morning reading tomorrow is cancelled."

"Everyone go home quickly and be safe on the road."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the classroom.

As everyone watched the countdown, their initial fear slowly turned into excitement and anticipation.

The sound of "rustling" of students packing schoolbags came from the classroom. Soon, students walked out of the classroom quickly, gathered in groups of three or five, and went home.

Jiang Ming returned to the small house he rented alone.

He opened the door skillfully and then quickly locked it.

When he came to the computer, his pretty face looked pale in the reflection of the screen.

[Prediction about the card master game, is it doomsday or hope! ]

【What kind of impact does the advent of a new era have on society? 】

[New God Religion, the savior of the new era! Let us welcome the Lord's coming together! ]

As the countdown draws to a close, more and more doomsday posts are appearing online.

After taking a quick look and not seeing any reliable information, Jiang Ming turned off the computer. He went to the kitchen, scooped up a small bucket of raw rice, put it into the rice cooker, then expertly cut two potatoes, steamed them, mashed them, and added seasoning.

Soon, a bowl of mashed potatoes and rice was ready.

I looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window and quickly finished my meal.

Washed the dishes, took a shower, and climbed into bed on time at 11 o'clock.

I used to go to bed at this time.

But the sirens that sounded from time to time outside, the shouting and cursing from downstairs, and the cheers from upstairs were all sounds we were used to hearing.

On this night, it seemed unusually jarring.

【Countdown: 59:30】

【Countdown: 29:30】

【Countdown: 3:00】

In the last three minutes, Jiang Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly got up, rushed to the small compartment next to him, picked up a sharp knife, and then put on his winter down jacket. No matter how bloated it was, he tried to put on two more.

【Countdown: 1:00】

What else? The usually calm Jiang Ming was a little confused at this moment.

I took another bag of breakfast bread.

【Countdown: 00:30】

Cell phone, yes, cell phone too.

He hurried back to the bed and put his phone in his pocket.

【Countdown: 00:00】

"Come on. Let me see what the game is."

At this moment, everything seemed to stand still.

The world around me began to blur, and the countdown numbers in front of me dissipated into the air like smoke.

Then, a clear reminder sound rang out, piercing the silence.

"Ding--"

"The Blue Star Card Master Game is officially launched!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Ming's vision suddenly went blank, the knife in his hand disappeared, and the bread in his arms disappeared as well.

There seems to be no direction here, only endless white.

Soon, a transparent panel emerged in his field of vision, flickering with a soft light.

【Name: Jiang Ming】

[Level: None]

【Strength: 0.83】

[Physique: 0.91]

[Agility: 1.02]

【Spirit: 3.45】

[Spiritual power: 0]

[Birthday card: None]

[Card slot: (empty) (empty) (empty)]

[Backpack: None]

There is another tip at the bottom.

"Do you want to start awakening your own destiny card?"

Jiang Ming first wrote down all the information on the panel, then clicked "Yes".

"Start drawing your natal card"

After this line of prompts appeared, Jiang Ming suddenly felt a splitting headache, but his body was unable to move.

Then I saw a strange scene.

A ray of light floated out from the center of the forehead and hovered in front.

When the light disappeared, Jiang Ming's eyes widened instantly.

A thick book of Shan Hai Jing appeared before my eyes.
Isn't this thing the culprit that caused me to travel through time and space?

Afterwards, the Shan Hai Jing slowly shrank and became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally it shrank into a thin card.

A prompt sounded.

"Congratulations, you have awakened your destiny card."

"Mountains and seas!"
