It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

Chapter 149 The Concept of the [Mechanical Sage]! (Revised)

When Lu Ya saw that Song Yu had called him, he was taken aback.

Is this trouble?

Lu Ya immediately guessed the purpose of Song Yu's call.

However, Lu Ya did not choose to hang up the phone.

After all, Song Yu had helped him twice before, especially the second time when he sold him a material card worth a million for only two hundred thousand.

Lu Ya also used that material card to create the Cursed Space Marine.

This favor is truly immense.

If Song Yu really runs into big trouble, I will definitely help him if I can.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya coughed lightly, adjusted his voice slightly, and then answered the phone.

"Hey, Song Yu, what's up?" Lu Yahao said in a bold and unrestrained manner.

Song Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Jiahao, are you free lately?"

Lu Ya replied with a smile, "If you have time, just call me. I'm available anytime!"

Hearing Lu Ya's words, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Brother Jiahao, I've run into some trouble lately, so I'd like to ask you for a favor. Is that alright?"

really!

Lu Ya thought to himself, then said, "Helping is no problem. As long as it's within my capabilities and doesn't break the law, I can help you!"

Song Yu replied, "Don't worry, everything is absolutely legal and compliant, it's just a bit complicated and might not be clear in a short time."

"How about this, I'll treat you to a meal, and we can talk about it offline."

Is it really that complicated? Do we have to eat and talk slowly?

Lu Ya thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, but let's not go to any restaurant. I'll send you an address, and you can just come over."

Lu Ya was too lazy to go out again, so he simply set the address at a small restaurant nearby.

After ending the call, Lu Ya took out a disguise mask, put it on, adjusted it slightly in front of the mirror, changed his clothes, and went out.

After arriving at the restaurant downstairs, Lu Ya ordered a few dishes from the waiter and then sat down to play on his phone.

Soon, a black car pulled up in front of the restaurant.

The person who got out of the car was Song Yu. Song Yu glanced around and his gaze quickly fell on Lu Ya in the restaurant.

Upon seeing Lu Ya, Song Yu rushed into the restaurant. He sat down opposite Lu Ya and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Brother Jiahao."

Lu Ya smiled and nodded, "It has indeed been a long time. However, I may have to trouble you a little today, making a rich second-generation like you eat at this kind of hole-in-the-wall restaurant with me."

Song Yu waved his hand: "Hey, what's the big deal, Brother Jiahao? You probably don't know this."

"I also often like to eat at these hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Apart from the better environment, the food at those big restaurants is not much different, and some are even less distinctive than those hole-in-the-wall restaurants."

While Lu Ya and Song Yu were chatting, the waiter had already served all the dishes.

Lu Ya served himself a bowl of rice, then looked at Song Yu and said, "Tell me, what kind of help do you need from me this time?"

Song Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if carefully choosing his words: "Brother Jiahao, do you know what's been happening in the wasteland city in the northwest lately?"

Lu Ya frowned and thought carefully for a moment: "If I remember correctly, there was a small earthquake around here recently, wasn't there?"

Lu Ya saw these news items while scrolling through his phone.

Because it was only a minor earthquake of magnitude four, there were no casualties in the area, so Lu Ya didn't pay much attention to it.

Song Yu chuckled: "Yes, that's right, there was indeed a small earthquake here."

"However, after the small earthquake, some things related to ancient ruins appeared in the wilderness outside the city of Wasteland."

""

Ancient ruins?

Upon hearing those three words, a look of surprise flashed across Lu Ya's face.

You need to understand, this is no small matter!

Every time an ancient ruin appears, it causes a huge sensation in the world of card masters.

On a smaller scale, this might just be a historical site of a small country.

On a grander scale, this could very well be a completely new historical dynasty that has yet to be discovered!

This suggests that ancient ruins may contain entirely new myths and legends!

This is incredibly attractive to any card player!

The problem is, such a big thing should have made a national sensation long ago, so why haven't he heard a thing about it yet?

Song Yu seemed to have noticed Lu Ya's doubts, and he explained with a smile, "The scale of this ancient site isn't as exaggerated as you think."

"It's not even a small country; it's probably just a small city."

No wonder!

Lu Ya suddenly realized that if that were the case, then the value of this ancient site would be greatly reduced.

Simply put, it's that feeling of something that's tasteless but too good to throw away.

However, this puzzled Lu Ya, who asked, "We've talked so much, what does this have to do with you asking me for help?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "That's right. Although in the eyes of some powerful card masters or large organizations, this ancient site doesn't have much value."

"But in the eyes of us businessmen, there are still quite a few valuable things in this ancient site."

"Currently, many business owners are offering high salaries to hire people to go to the wilderness to excavate this ancient site."

"Our family is also planning to invite a few archaeology scholars to go to the wilderness to see if they can dig up anything!"

Lu Ya pondered for a moment: "Does the Card Master Alliance really allow this kind of thing?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "The Card Master Alliance has already sent people to investigate this place. After determining that it had little value, they abandoned it and allowed others to excavate it."

After receiving a positive answer, Lu Ya felt relieved.

He then jokingly asked, "What, do you want me to help you dig up this ancient site? Let me make it clear beforehand, I can help you dig, but I don't know anything about archaeology."

"I'm not responsible if I damage anything while digging."

Song Yu chuckled, "Brother Jiahao, stop joking. Sending you to dig up these things is a waste of your talent!"

"Don't worry about the excavation; we've already hired a professional archaeological team. The reason I invited you is to come with us and ensure our safety!"

"After all, the Card Master Alliance will definitely attract a lot of people from all walks of life after opening up the ancient ruins this time."

"At that time, the entire Wasteland City will be a mixed bag, and ordinary people may be in danger."

Lu Ya nodded thoughtfully: "That's not a problem, but I'm afraid it might not be enough for just me alone?"

Song Yu explained, "Don't worry, Brother Jiahao, it's not just you. We've also hired five other card masters, but I'm still a little worried."

"So after thinking about it, I still want to invite you to come along."

After listening to Song Yu's explanation, Lu Ya nodded thoughtfully.

Song Yu seemed to have thought of something, and then he added, "But don't worry, Brother Jiahao, I won't let you make this trip for nothing."

"I will provide 500,000 as a reward for this trip. If we encounter any danger along the way and you need to take action, the fee for that action will be calculated separately."

This means that as long as Lu Ya goes along, even if he does nothing, he can still get at least 500,000 in compensation.

Moreover, if danger arises, the cost will be calculated separately.

After hearing Song Yu's words, Lu Ya couldn't help but click his tongue.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ya agreed to Song Yu's request: "No problem, I can go with you. When do you depart?"

Upon receiving Lu Ya's reply, Song Yu's face lit up with joy. He quickly replied, "We'll set off in two or three days. We still need to pack some more things."

Lu Ya nodded: "Just contact me the day before you leave."

Song Yu took a deep breath, stood up and said, "No problem, Brother Jiahao, I'll go back and prepare now. I'll leave this to you."

Lu Ya waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's a small problem. Consider it as returning a favor to you."

After Song Yu left, Lu Ya quickly devoured all the food on the table.

He then got up and left the restaurant.

After returning home, Lu Ya took a bottle of cola from the refrigerator, then sat down on the sofa and began to learn about the ancient ruins of Wasteland City while drinking the cola.

After all, he had already decided to go to Wasteland City with Song Yu.

Before setting off, Lu Ya naturally needed to make ample preparations and understand the current situation in Wasteland City.

To avoid being caught off guard and clueless when problems arise.

As soon as Lu Ya typed "Wilderness City" into the search bar, a series of information and videos related to Wasteland City quickly popped up.

Shocking! Ancient ruins have been discovered overnight in Wasteland City, threatening to shake up the world of card masters!

A young man's actions after entering ancient ruins raise the question: is this a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?

Experts have pointed out that the ancient ruins outside the wasteland city are tens of thousands of years old and could very well be a gift left behind by an extraterrestrial civilization!

Staring at the endless stream of mindless marketing videos produced by AI on his phone screen, Lu Ya's eye twitched involuntarily.

Just seeing the titles of these videos made him feel like his intelligence had been thoroughly insulted.

I wonder which genius invented marketing accounts.

After sighing, Lu Ya began to filter through all the videos.

After a quick search, Lu Ya found a few legitimate videos.

He quickly browsed through the videos.

Based on the descriptions in these videos, the ancient ruins outside Wasteland City were discovered by a group of tourists.

The group of tourists found a stone tablet with ancient writing in the wilderness, and also discovered other artifacts they had never seen before.

And so, the story spread like wildfire.

There are already quite a few people online who are eager to go to Wasteland City to see if they can find anything of greater value.

After all, the stone tablet was bought by a mysterious card master for a sky-high price of millions as soon as it was unearthed.

If a single stone tablet is worth this price, then the prices of other items are unimaginable.

Anyone would find it hard not to be moved by such a sight.

After browsing through these messages, Lu Ya pondered silently.

As expected, Wasteland City will likely become quite turbulent in the coming period.

It seems I need to make adequate preparations myself.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya took out all the material cards in his hand.

He glanced through the resource cards in his hand, then his gaze fell on a blue resource card named [Sage].

This [Sage] material card was a gift from the Card Master Alliance when he purchased the [Psychic] purple material card on their internal forum; the seller paid the difference for it.

Lu Ya even used these free material cards to create a prop card for the [Soul Forging Incense Burner].

Upon seeing the [Sage] material card, Lu Ya couldn't help but picture a figure draped in a red robe.

That is the most "uncommon" being in Warhammer 40: the Sage of the Mechanicus!

Moreover, the place he was going to this time happened to be a historical site, which couldn't be more perfect for the Mechanicus to make its mark.

Most importantly, he currently possesses a purple material card called "Forbidden Knowledge".

This purple material card was obtained from the Evil Spirit Realm and is one of the few purple material cards he has.

At first, when Lu Ya first got this purple material card, he was wondering what to do with it. He never expected it would come in handy here today!

These two material cards are perfectly suited for crafting the [Mechanical Sage].

However, these two material cards alone are not enough to support him in completing the creation of the card "Mechanicus Sage".

He also needs some material cards containing other elements as supplements.

Just as Lu Ya was pondering where to find the remaining material cards...

"Ding-dong."

A notification sound suddenly rang out, interrupting Lu Ya's thoughts.

Lu Ya picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Yang Feng.

"Brother Lu, have you returned to Lingjiang yet?"

"I'm back, I've been back for a while, what's up?"

"There's a dinner party tonight, are you coming?"

Upon seeing the message Yang Feng sent him, Lu Ya frowned and asked, "What kind of dinner party? Who are you having dinner with?"

Yang Feng replied, "Who else could it be? Let's just have a class get-together."

Without even thinking, Lu Ya refused outright: "Never mind, I'm busy."

Lu Ya is currently preoccupied with making cards, so he has no interest in attending this class reunion dinner!

Yang Feng continued to message: "Someone's treating."

Lu Ya jumped to his feet: "Why didn't you say so earlier, Lao Yang? I'm here!"

Just kidding! As the most freeloading man in Lingjiang City, how could Lu Ya possibly let go of such a freeloading opportunity!

As for the card-making issue, nothing is more important than getting something for free. We'll talk about it when he's done getting it for free!
