Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

The young, talented summoners all remained silent.

Shen Zhongshan did not urge him.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, which had long since gone cold, and took a sip.

The bitter tea soup rolled around on the tip of my tongue before I swallowed it.

He had seen far too many such silences...

Silence is not weakness...

Faced with dangerous missions and unknown enemies, even the most outstanding and valiant warriors will fall into hesitation and confusion...

Not to mention these high school students who haven't even officially graduated yet...

But some things ultimately need to be accomplished by these young people...

"I have a question!"

The silence was broken by a boy sitting on the right side of the long table.

The young man was wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit with a pure gold sword and shield badge pinned to his lapel.

His name is Lin Tian.

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

A senior high school student at Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School, and the direct heir of the Lin family, a prominent and wealthy family in Jiangcheng.

His features were extremely well-proportioned, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge; he had the classic handsome face.

The three giants of Jiangcheng No.1 High School are all highly talented and far more capable than their peers, but they are always overshadowed by No.2 High School.

It is precisely because of Lin Tian that No. 2 Middle School is located there.

Lin Tian is an outstanding swordsman with exceptional talent in martial arts cultivation, and his professional level has reached the peak of the advanced stage.

At the same time, his summoning talent is also quite strong, his spellbook has reached the peak of silver level, and he is said to have two gold cards.

He and Shen Hui, another genius teenager from the military academy, were hailed as the two prides of Jiangcheng.

Among the younger generation in Jiangcheng, he wielded considerable influence, even commanding respect from Army Commander Shen Zhongshan.

Shen Chongshan raised his hand to indicate, "Speak freely."

"That student is being presumptuous."

Lin Tian smiled, asking neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Since the former warlord has set up an underground palace near my Jiangcheng, why doesn't the military directly send troops to attack the Demon Palace?"

"Instead of making us students the vanguard?"

"The conquest of the Demon Palace is not a dungeon competition, nor an inter-school league, but a war."

"As high school students, we are no match for the professional soldiers in the military in terms of practical experience."

"In terms of teamwork, we can't compare to the professional hunters of the Hunter's Guild."

"Wouldn't it be too risky for us to go?"

"Your question is very good."

Shen Chongshan nodded approvingly, then explained, "The demonic palaces that have appeared here are like the sacred beast palaces, with rules and restrictions."

"Only summoners aged 18 and under are allowed to enter."

"Within the Demon Palace, there is also a rank suppression, allowing any summoner and card beast to unleash combat power of around rank two."

"Most of the soldiers in our military are adults, so even if we wanted to launch a campaign, we couldn't."

Lin Tian smiled and continued, "But I remember... your military also specifically trains youth soldiers, right?"

"The youth army is similar to our high school, with many teenagers of school age. Why don't they go and raid the dungeon?"

This was a pointed question that raised suspicions among all the elite students present.

The elite students present all looked at Shen Chongshan with questioning eyes, wanting to see how he would explain himself.

These elite students are all backed by powerful families, have received elite education from a young age, and have a deep understanding of human nature.

They won't be fooled into joining the war effort just because the military throws out some grand righteous cause of protecting the country.

If you want them to fight for the country, the country must also show sincerity!

Just as Shen Chongshan was about to explain something, the old chairman Zhou Jiyuan raised his hand, indicating that Shen Chongshan did not need to speak.

He slowly rose from his seat, his aged eyes turning to Lin Tian, ​​and said in a hoarse voice:

"In fact, the military has already assembled a hundred young soldiers, gathering almost all of the young soldiers who are capable of fighting."

"You should all know the leader; it's Shen Hui."

Shen Hui!

Upon hearing this name, the pupils of all the elite young men in the room contracted to pinpoints.

Shen Hui is as famous as Lin Tian, ​​and is a summoner with extraordinary talent.

Shen Hui's family was not prominent, and he did not have a golden card start like Lin Tian and other scions of aristocratic families.

His strength doesn't come from cards, but from his martial arts talent.

Generally, summoners' main card beasts are combat-oriented, responsible for charging into battle and fighting against powerful enemies.

Shen Hui, however, is different.

His card beasts are mostly support-type, and their main function is to provide him with buff status.

As for charging into battle, he did it all by himself, all by himself.

He is brave and skilled in battle. After graduating from junior high school, he chose to join the army. Now, at about 18 years old, he has become the head of the Jiangcheng Military Youth Corps.

In terms of strength and popularity, he is in no way inferior to Lin Tian.

Upon hearing that the military was going to send Shen Hui to participate in the campaign against the Demon Palace, the elite youths present had less doubt about Shen Chongshan.

At this point, the old chairman added, "Shen Hui's personal information has been hidden by the military; you might not know his background, right?"

He pointed to Shen Chongshan beside him, "Shen Hui is Commander Shen's only son."

Upon hearing this, all the elite youths' pupils contracted, and their gazes all fell on Shen Chongshan.

Shen Hui is actually Commander Shen's only son...

Commander Shen is practically a local tyrant in Jiangcheng, yet he's going to send his only son into a perilous demon palace...

This truly surprised everyone present!

Shen Chongshan seemed to see through the thoughts of the young men and said directly, "I know what you're thinking."

"To be honest, as a father, I don't want my son to take any risks."

"He is my pride, and the only thing my late wife left behind."

"From childhood to adulthood, every time he went to participate in trials or underground palaces, I was always worried that he would get hurt or bump into something."

"If I had a choice, I would really hope that he could live a peaceful and stable life like an ordinary person."

"But some things always need to be done by someone."

"Since he has become the head of the military youth corps, he naturally has to shoulder his responsibilities."

Shen Chongshan paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the many teenagers present, and said sincerely, "I used my son as an example not to prove anything, nor to show off anything."

"All I want to say is... the crisis our Jiangcheng is facing this time is unprecedented."

"That demonic palace built right in front of our house must be destroyed, otherwise... the ancient demonic army it spews out will devour the entire city, everyone's homes, and lives."

Shen Chongshan's tone was calm, but the message he conveyed was extremely heavy.

The group of elite young people knew that he was not exaggerating.

In fact, every time the Demon Palace appears, it poses a deadly threat to the region or even the country.

Some large demon palaces even require joint efforts from various countries to destroy.

Once the Demon Palace is built and a teleportation array is constructed, allowing the old warlords to invade, it will have terrifying consequences.

Historically, many countries have been destroyed for this reason.

As for cities, there are countless.

The sudden appearance of this underground palace on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, though small, is enough to cause a city-wide crisis.

Therefore, whether these young people like it or not, they have no other choice...

Seeing that these elite young men were deep in thought, Shen Chongshan did not disturb them, but sipped his tea and waited quietly for them to make their choices.

At this moment, the old chairman's ring flashed with light, and he took out a leather suitcase and placed it on the long table.

He used his fingertips to pry open the brass clasp and slowly lifted the lid of the box.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light shone, turning the entire conference room golden!

The boys, who were still deep in thought, were all drawn by the golden light and stood up, staring in astonishment at the suitcase.

Inside the suitcase, ten cards were neatly stacked.

Every single one of them is a gold card!

All of them were dazzling and radiant, exuding a captivating brilliance!
