Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

"Fool..."

Lin You drew the cards from the card box and felt a power that calmed her down.

Unlike the Night, Chariot, or Emperor cards I drew before, this card doesn't have a unique effect.

Or rather, its greatest effect is that it has no effect.

After use, it can eliminate the effects of all activated Myriad Impermanence Cards.

"Or draw a new card."

Lin You stared at the cards in her hand, a look of realization dawning on her face.

"Got it, it's a card for drawing cards."

"Half of the Pot of Greed?"

In any case, although we can't use this card now, it at least adds some progress to the job change quest.

After some thought, Lin You decided to immediately replace the "Fool" card with a new "Impermanent Manifestations" card.

Even with some risks, not all cards are as harmless as "The Fool".

But with a "major purge" imminent, the key is to improve strength as soon as possible.

The job change quest is already 4/10, just one more card to go and it will be halfway done.

[Hint: Do you want to discard "The Fool" and draw another "Impermanence" card?]

"Yes."

Lin You put the Fool's Card back into the Dark Gold Card Box.

The next moment, a beautiful light burst forth from the card box.

This time, the cards didn't stay obediently in the box; instead, they flew to Lin You's side on their own.

This is the Myriad Impermanence Card he is familiar with; it activates automatically once generated.

[Hint: You have obtained the "Impermanence Card - Death"]

……

【The Impermanence of All Things Card: Death】

[Effect: Triggers the "Opening" effect of a designated Veil skill once upon a kill]

[Last 24 hours]

……

"The 'Impermanent Manifestations' card actually has a synergy effect with the 'Veil' skill?"

Lin You was quite surprised after seeing the card effects of "Death".

He recently acquired a veil skill – Veil of Pain.

That's when I realized just how terrifying the "Grim Reaper" effect really is!

If you designate "Veil of Pain" as the trigger skill for this card.

So every time he kills an enemy, he can unleash a deadly poison star centered on himself, causing a large amount of poison debuffs!

"Unfortunately, it only lasted 24 hours..."

"If only it were permanent."

Thinking about this, Lin You became increasingly curious and excited about the "Hand of Fate" class she was about to switch to.

Even a temporary card like the "Impermanent Manifestation Card" is this powerful.

The job skills unlocked after completing the job change should be even stronger!

"We've completed half of the job change quest objectives."

"We need to draw the remaining 5 Impermanence Cards quickly."

Lin You opened the Magic Card Encyclopedia and found the "Remains of Heroic Spirits" that she had just created.

……

Elite Magic Card: "Remains of Heroic Spirits"

Grade: 30 (Purple)

【Effect 1: Summon】

【Effect ②: Absorption, increases your Strength and Constitution by 1 each, up to a maximum of 100 points at D rank】

[Effect 3: Resonance, "Iron Grip" can also affect spells that launch projectiles, +6 "Iron Grip"]

A maximum of one "Heroic Spirit Remains" can be placed in the Resonance slot.

……

"Remains of Heroes" truly lives up to its reputation as an elite magic card.

You could say that every part of it is a treasure!

The three switchable forms make it an excellent fighter.

After absorption, it can also increase your constitution and strength attributes!

Lin You's physique and strength are still at D-level 55 points, and he is considering whether to use his free attribute points to max them out.

Now there's no need to hesitate anymore—it's free!

However, the amount of magic dust consumed in creating elite magic cards is astonishing.

A level 30 purple quality magic card requires 600 units of magic dust to craft.

Fortunately, Lin Yougang had just made a batch of Secret Realm Magic Cards, and could use the "Summon" command to obtain a large number of low-level Magic Cards.

The magic power consumed in dismantling and creating magic cards can also be used to recharge the Myriad Impermanence Card Box.

"Let's make 200 'Heroic Spirit Remains' magic cards first."

Lin You calculated the number of magic cards needed; just to improve the attributes, he would need nearly 100 magic cards.

In addition, you also need to set aside magic cards for summoning.

The resonance effect of "Remains of Heroes" is actually quite good.

This allows the additional damage from "Steel Grip" to be applied to spell projectiles, rather than being limited to ranged attacks.

However, its most suitable use is still to directly summon the remains of heroic spirits to serve as fighters.

"This area should be safe now."

Lin You, holding a super-bright torch, reunited with Vivian and Yan Ling.

"Meow……"

"There's nothing you can do. That guy's flying in the sky, so it's normal that you can't hit him."

Seeing that Yanling was a little disappointed because she couldn't help in the battle, Lin You squatted down to comfort her.

"Next time we go to the secret realm, I'll take you with me."

"Meow!"

Flame Spirit's tail immediately perked up, clearly showing how happy it was.

Lin You felt a little regretful.

Because Flame Spirit is a battle pet, not a summoned creature, it does not enjoy the many bonuses of "Crystal Clan".

Although Flame Spirit's level is steadily increasing, taking on three or four players of the same level is not a problem.

However, it still can't compare to the magical card attackers summoned by Lin You.

"If you have the chance, help Flame Spirit find a flame that it can devour."

After returning to the Gold Digger, Lin You repositioned himself to the next entrance to the Eternal Night Labyrinth and continued digging.

"Let me see what's been leaked."

Lin You rummaged through the piggy bank and found the treasure bag that the Mechanical Skeleton King had picked up.

……

[Hint: You have opened the "Treasure Bag (Heroic Spirit Remains)"]

[Received: 50 Marble Blocks]

[Obtained: Bronze Alloy Fragment x26]

[Obtained: Heroic Spirit's Counterattack Shield]

……

"So little?"

Lin You, somewhat skeptical, rummaged through the treasure bag.

It turns out there are only three types of rewards, not even a bottle of potion.

Of these three rewards, marble blocks are just ordinary stones, which can be found everywhere in the marble area.

Its uses... are completely useless except for making marble-themed furniture.

Bronze alloy fragments are a type of material used in the production process.

You can craft a set of "Bronze Armor," which increases projectile damage.

The complete "Bronze Armor" set increases projectile damage by 20%, projectile critical strike chance by 10%, and movement speed by 10%.

"The bonus effect is pretty good, but unfortunately we don't have enough materials."

Lin You hadn't encountered a lack of materials in a long time.

Because this time we encountered "wild elites".

If the materials are dropped in a secret realm, he can repeatedly farm them using a secret realm refresh card.

"It's not available on the market either."

"It looks like an elite monster that only appears in the marble area at a certain depth..."

"Never mind, let's see how fate works."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin You looked at the last item in the treasure bag, a shield-shaped ornament.

……

【The Heroic Spirits' Shield of Counterattack】

Grade: 30 (Purple)

[Requirement: Constitution > 50 (D)]

【Effect ①: When damaged, store twice the amount of damage taken, up to a maximum of 300 points】

【Effect 2: Actively activated, clears stored damage and causes your next attack to deal fixed damage of the same amount】

……

"This piece of jewelry is quite interesting..."

"Unfortunately, I don't care about taking that much damage."

In just a few seconds, Lin You decided to banish the ornament to the cold palace.

300 points of damage is a lot for other players; it's equivalent to the damage of a skill.

Unfortunately, Lin You has no shortage of numerical values.

To date, the trinket he most frequently uses when challenging formidable enemies remains the Cthulhu Shield, a mechanical item.

"It seems that among the melee players in the strategy group, only Lu Ge is the only one."

"His fighting style doesn't seem to suit this accessory either."

"I'll ask Tyron if he wants to buy it when I have time; he's the one who gets beaten up all the time anyway."

Just as we were about to reach the entrance to the new maze.

A private message suddenly popped up on the forum.

"Is it that 'clay sculptor' again?"

Lin You raised an eyebrow upon seeing the sender's title.

"Are you going to interrogate me about my grades?"

With a question in mind, Lin You opened the private chat and replied.

[Lin You: You've run out of Enchantment Pearls? Just mail them over.]

[Tah: No, I'm here to talk to you about the "Star Within" competition.]

[Lin You: I really didn't do it...]

[Tah: Do you want information about the next stage of the "Secret Realm Speedrun" competition?]

Lin You: "Huh?!"

Isn't Taher a member of the tournament organizers?!

Why is he starting to "leak" the exam questions too?!

A few seconds later.

[Lin You: ...Could you elaborate?]
