Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Chapter 159 Cat Card Shop

Seeing Jiang Zhe's helmet appear instantly, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

"In that case, I'm coming."

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful surge of mental energy erupted from her body.

A gentle flow!

"Buzz—"

Without holding back at all, Lin Ye immediately activated his core card!

In an instant, her body seemed to lose gravity and become incredibly light.

The surrounding air seemed to be forcibly pushed aside by some force, forming an excellent gliding track.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye activated another card.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, her figure had already disappeared from the spot.

No—that's not disappearing!

That's an extremely rapid displacement!

She actually relied on the significant burden reduction brought by the core card and the airflow brought by the amorous card.

This combination and forced the creation of this flash!

"So fast!"

Inside the helmet, Jiang Zhe instantly lost sight of Lin Ye.

Only blurry afterimages remained, flickering continuously, the strong winds they generated even causing the air to rustle.

In actual combat, what if you faced an opponent who was so elusive that you couldn't even touch their shadow?

Jiang Zhe probably wouldn't even have a chance to react before his throat was slit instantly.

"However, that was before I even exerted my full strength—"

Jiang Zhe took a deep breath, and then his mental energy instantly surged into the core of the helmet.

"Boost output, maximize power!"

"Buzz!"

As mental energy was injected, the eerie blue light inside the helmet instantly intensified.

The next moment, through the mental connection within the helmet.

In Jiang Zhe's field of vision, everything around him seemed to slow down.

Those originally blurry afterimages gradually became clearer.

Even the movement of Lin Ye's toes touching the ground each time he changed direction was accurately captured.

And in his eyes, it outlined clear trajectories.

"Left side—no, feint, it's up!"

Jiang Zhe suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Lin Ye, who was in mid-air preparing to use the momentum to turn back.

I see you.

"How is that possible?!"

In mid-air, I met that gaze that seemed to see through everything.

Lin Ye was startled, and his previously smooth movements paused slightly.

She could sense that no matter how she changed her form next...

The other person's gaze was always following her closely and locking onto her firmly!

"stop!"

The test ended, and Lin Ye landed steadily with a somersault, his chest rising and falling slightly.

However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with undisguised shock as she looked at Jiang Zhe.

"What kind of monster helmet is that? How can it keep up with my maximum speed?"

It's important to understand that the effect of her card combinations is to enable even faster assassinations and greater speed.

Since her movements can be captured, then in a battle of the same level...

The advantages this helmet offers are simply terrifying!

"Hehe, it's just so-so."

Jiang Zhe deactivated the helmet, folded it back up, and put it back on, but the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.

"Under normal circumstances, this helmet can't touch your shadow at all."

"But as long as you disregard energy consumption and are willing to invest, the results are top-notch, as you've seen."

"Indeed very strong."

Lin Ye couldn't help but let out a long breath, calming the turmoil in his heart.

This guy is definitely worth investing in.

With that thought in mind, she magically pulled a stack of neatly organized documents from her pocket and handed them to Jiang Zhe.

"This is what I just organized in my room regarding the bidding for the Star Tower."

, 7

"The main forces that may be involved, and their research directions."

"Oh? Mr. Lin's service is so attentive?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow in surprise and accepted the offer.

Although he didn't know why Lin Ye was suddenly being so proactive, he wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity to get something for free.

As Jiang Zhe flipped through the documents, his gaze swept over them quickly.

"The Gear Society—they've recently made a breakthrough in puppetry and human technology."

"Perhaps the main focus is on some kind of puppet prosthetic modification."

"The Psionic Tower—Although they haven't made any breakthroughs, they have mastered the tattoo card technique for many years."

"However, it can temporarily and greatly enhance physical strength without depleting the card master's mental energy."

"And its only drawback is its high cost —"

As Jiang Zhe watched, he silently assessed the strength of these potential opponents.

"The powers in the capital are really something else. How come they even have the technology to insert cards into the body?"

However, just as he was pondering this, his gaze suddenly stopped.

"Handling the company————"

"Using specially cultivated living tissue as a base to create a second limb?"

"These bastards actually brought biological modification to the forefront?"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes.

Time flies, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the night of the Star Tower bidding, at the top of the Star Dome.

When Jiang Zhe and his two companions returned, they found that the once bustling outer plaza had changed completely.

All those messy, unlicensed booths have disappeared, seemingly cleaned up by the authorities.

Instead, there were dense crowds of people.

Strangely, these people did not seem to be queuing up to enter the inner venue.

-

Instead, they gather in small groups of three or five.

As soon as they see a decent-looking driver passing by, they immediately rush up to him like taxi drivers at a train station, trying to pick him up and start chatting.

"What's going on? Are our spies this unprofessional?"

Seeing this somewhat strange scene, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But at that moment, an extremely sweet voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Oh dear~ brother~"

Jiang Zhe was taken aback and subconsciously turned around.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in an extremely revealing cat-eared maid outfit came into view.

A woman with exquisite makeup on her face approached with a smile.

The next moment, she shoved a pink flyer into his hand with lightning speed.

"Cat-themed card shop, lots of benefits and great pay!"

"Brother, would you be interested in learning more? Just join us."

"You'll have your own cat-eared maid to provide you with personalized, one-on-one service!"

As the woman spoke, she leaned in and winked suggestively.

And its fluffy tail was still wagging behind it.

"A cat-themed card-making shop?"

Looking at the flyer in his hand, Jiang Zhe immediately thought of something.

The cat-headed airship he and the professor saw in the sky when they first arrived in the capital.

"Wow, this guy is really going all out!"

Seeing this, Lin Ye frowned deeply.

As a respectable member of the chamber of commerce, she naturally felt disgusted by this kind of borderline marketing. She subconsciously took a half step back, as if afraid of getting involved with something unclean.

"Vulgar."

"Cough cough————"
