"Hiss, what does this Ten Cuts mean... And the Sin-Eating Spirit, it turns out the cards produced in the card domain will also be affected."

Lu Yan looked at the two new skills, many doubts arose in his mind, and he decided to try them one by one.

"Daisy, try using the Ten Cut attack on me."

He said subconsciously, but the girl didn't move: "Master, I can hurt your soul, please forgive me for refusing."

"Ah, yes, then use it on apples."

Lu Yan slapped his head and pointed at the apple. Daisy slowly swung the sickle so that Lu Yan could see more clearly.

I saw the front end of the sickle lightly scratched the skin of the apple. The wound should not have been too deep, but the apple in front of me was directly split into two halves.

Picking up the apple, Lu Yan discovered that it was indeed not split in half with one knife, and the knife marks were floating up and down.

"This is what's called a ten-cut damage, anyway, it's just frame damage!"

Lu Yan clashed with his fists and palms, and when he thought about it in terms of gaming, he suddenly understood.

Frame damage, damage is calculated based on the number of frames. An action in the game causes a large number of damages. It is indeed very similar to Daisy's [Ten Cuts]. She can currently cause ten times of damage with one slash.

And this is the frame damage of real damage. Even if it is weakened and cannot break the defense, it doesn’t matter. Daisy’s [Soul Cutting] can directly damage the soul.

Next is [Sin-Eating Spirit]. The skill itself is easy to understand, but what Lu Yan cares about is the second half of the description.

The cards that were taken by others would be damaged due to the battle. He didn't think that the creatures in the card domain would also be damaged by this skill.

There is also a soul. Since it has a soul, it has no self-awareness. This is something Lu Yan has never figured out.

He had found almost no relevant information on the Internet, but now that he had Lamia, he could give it a try.

"Lamia, can you please provide some information on 'Card Souls', 'Soul Energy', and 'Self-Awareness'?"

"Please wait."

Data flashed in Lamia's eyes, and she quickly told Lu Yan a shocking news:

"Master, the relevant papers and theories have been blocked by a powerful AI. You need certain permissions to read them, or I can try to hack in..."

"No need, I'll just ask someone else."

Since there are papers and theories, it means that the world of card masters has already done research on this, but ordinary people just can't access it.

That's easy. Jiang Jiu is a 6-star card master. A strong person like her must know it. Although it was a bit embarrassing because of the previous incident, Lu Yan's curiosity prompted him to ask questions.

After knocking on the door, and waiting for Jiang Jiu to say "come in", Lu Yan pushed the door open and walked in, saying faintly, "Sister Jiang, Teacher Jiang~."

He stuck his head out and the moisture in the air made him realize that someone had just taken a shower. His eyes immediately sharpened and he glanced at the sofa.

Well, there is no gorgeous picture. Jiang Jiu is wearing pink bunny pajamas and lying on the lazy sofa without moving.

She glanced at Lu Yan and asked, "Is there something important that you're looking for me so late?"

"Yes, there are some things I don't understand, and I couldn't find them on the Internet, so I came to you."

Chapter 63: Soul Theory of the Card Master’s World.

"I was looking for the right material for the card."

Lu Yan explained: "I saw online that there are cards that can damage the souls of creatures in the card domain, causing damage to the cards. Suddenly, many questions came to mind."

The creatures in the card domain, the summoned creatures on the cards clearly have souls, but why do they not have independent consciousness? Some ghosts with the [soul] element also have no independent consciousness, which makes him very strange.

Moreover, I couldn't find any relevant knowledge on the Internet, which meant that the relevant matters must have been blocked, so I came to ask Jiang Jiu.

"Soul, um... well, you've become a 3-star card master now, so you're qualified to know about this."

After listening to Lu Yan's question, Jiang Jiu patted the sofa beside him and motioned him to sit down.

After he sat down like a student, the pink-haired girl tapped her cheek lightly: "Where should I start? Do you know the 'Grand Unified Theory of Energy'?"

"Know,"

Lu Yan nodded. "The core argument is that [all energy is convertible], right?"

The energy characteristics in the card domain are strange and varied, but whether it is the special true qi and magic power in Lu Yan's eyes, or the more common electrical energy, mechanical energy or nuclear energy.

They can be converted into each other for card artists, and the conversion is quite simple.

The main energy in the world of card masters is [soul energy], which is also identified as the most versatile energy.

From the card master controlling the summoning cards to transforming his own body through skill cards and equipment, Lu Yan felt that the soul energy was somewhat tainted with idealism.

Of course, it is also possible that he is in the stage of "not being good at math, physics and chemistry, but magic is everywhere in life". After all, as a card artist, Lu Yan is not a researcher, but a user.

In short, the most important thing is conversion efficiency. The loss rate of soul energy converted into other energy sources is extremely low.

Not to mention the conversion ratio, if injured, the card with exhausted energy can be placed in the soul to be nurtured, and it will be repaired quickly, and the card master will just feel a little tired.

"Yes, all energies can be converted into each other, and our ability to control soul energy is the most powerful."

Jiang Jiu raised his hand, and a ball of flame appeared at his fingertips, and then turned into a source of water: "Then let me ask you, when you use soul energy, do you feel pain in your soul?"

"No, but shouldn't soul energy be to the soul what physical strength is to the body?"

"The soul energy you're using is like this. A living being's soul can be simply understood as being divided into three states, similar to the body."

She raised her hand and tapped her heart and temple. "Stamina that can be expended, flesh and blood that can be injured but not cause instant death, and most importantly, the heart and brain. What do you think each corresponds to?"

Lu Yan was silent for a long time, then answered uncertainly: "The soul energy used to convert into other energies, the soul itself that can cause people to feel pain after hitting it, and the most important soul represented by the card slot limit?"

"Right, huh?"

Jiang Jiu cast a surprised look at Lu Yan: "No, you have the relevant cards, right? Your brain works so quickly."

"Remember my ghost girl? She has a skill that can directly attack the soul."

"No wonder."

Picking up the strawberry milk on the table, the pink-haired girl took a sip cutely. "Just like you said, it's the same for humans and normal creatures in this world. The soul is divided into three layers, and there's currently no international consensus on their names."

"But I'm used to calling them soul energy, soul shell, and soul core."

"Self-will comes from the soul core, but creatures in the Ka domain don't have a core, only energy and a shell."

Jiang Jiu tilted her head, leaned sideways towards Lu Yan, stretched out her sockless feet, and moved her white and tender toes left and right, attracting the old man's attention:

"Can you imagine a body without a brain and a heart? This is the state of the card. All emotions and fluctuations are made up of the soul shell."

"Hey, stop looking at it. Is it really that good? Answer my question."

Noticing Lu Yan's gaze, the pink-haired shop manager stretched out her leg and kicked him lightly in the chest in embarrassment.

He subconsciously wanted to say something, but quickly came to his senses: "It's very beautiful... That's why I said the card is similar to a robot."

"That's right. Your card can damage the 'soul' of the summoned creature, right? She only damages the shell, or rather, most attacks only damage the shell. It's just a matter of depth."

Retracting his calf, Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes at Lu Yan, and raised the corner of his mouth:

"It's like using a knife to cut through skin, flesh, and bones. The deeper you go, the more severe the damage. Eventually, it can even affect the card itself, reducing its chances of death."

"The cards in the card domain are actually blessed by the card domain, which can reduce a large part of the soul damage."

"If you use a skill that can damage its soul while killing it, once the upper limit is exceeded, the cards that drop out may be damaged."

"I see."

Lu Yan rubbed his fingers and understood the difference between Daisy's [Food Spirit] before the upgrade and [Sin Food Spirit].

[Soul Eating] and [Soul Cutting] are equivalent to having the skin eaten and small wounds for the cards in the card domain, which are not enough to cause death. [Soul Eating] will eat away most of a person's arm or body.

For the card master's cards?

They don't have the blessing of the Kayu, so when they die they are destroyed. The number of deaths must be reduced, and there is no difference between eating skin and eating flesh and blood.

"By the way, why do card domains and cards appear?"

After figuring out the general situation and some of the rules of this world, Lu Yan asked this question as he stood up and wanted to leave.

Jiang Jiu's expression was a little subtle. She obviously knew something, but she didn't tell him. Instead, she acted as a riddle:

"This is the ultimate question of the universe, almost like why the universe was created, but I do know a little bit."

"But I can't tell you,"

Jiang Jiu chose to remain silent, with a mysterious and charming smile, "When you have a card that is about to break through to the gold level, you will encounter some problems. I will talk to you in detail then."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Feeling a little regretful, Lu Yan knew that he couldn't become rich overnight, so he said goodbye to the lovely store manager.

After returning to his room, he had just laid down when Li Xisheng sent him a message inviting him to another city:

[There's a large auction going on in Tianwei City. Are you interested in going with me? There might be the cards you need there.]

auctions?

Lu Yan became interested and clicked on the link sent by Li Xisheng. He ignored the auction items at the main auction and turned his attention to other cards for sale.

Lu Yan had no chance of buying antiques, cards, or anything else at auction. With his wealth, he couldn't even afford to buy a single one.

But it doesn’t matter. If he can’t buy things at the auction, he can just go and find a bargain. This is a common plot in various entertainment works.

Of course, what is more important to Lu Yan is that he can take this opportunity to go out of the city and see the world.

Chapter 64: Card Masters Have Academic Qualifications? No Qualifications, No Qualifications.

The next morning, Lu Yan got up early. In order to discuss the trip to other cities with Li Xisheng in detail, he specially invited the eldest lady to the card shop.

Pushing open the back door, the indifferent black-haired girl had already arrived at the store and was sitting behind the counter with Jiang Jiu. There were white marks on her face from the scars that had just healed, which were obviously left after encountering the killer yesterday.

Lu Yan pulled over a chair and sat down, stretching his limbs and lazily asking, "Xisheng, have you ever left Hujiang City and gone somewhere else before?"

"Go out often,"

He nodded slightly, took the milk Jiang Jiu poured, and thanked her softly, "Hujiang City is just a small city after all. There are many things you can't buy. I'm going to go out to study in a while."

"Card Master School?"

"Yes."

Lu Yan turned his head. Card masters naturally have schools. Ordinary card masters cannot get access to them. It is more like a place where you can pass the exam to get a formal job. Those who can get in are either strong enough or have a good background.

There are only a few card master schools, and Lu Yan did not expect that Xisheng, who is from a small local family, could apply for the exam.

As for Lu Yan himself?

He is not qualified, not qualified.

Regardless of whether the Lu family was destroyed or not, as a marginal figure, he couldn't even get an awakening crystal, so it was naturally impossible for him to get in.

"Speaking of my education, I'm not a Cheese Snow Leopard."

I took out my phone and checked my information. Hmm... I didn't graduate from college. I dropped out directly after the Lu family was destroyed.

"Let's get back to the point,"

Putting down his phone, Lu Yan continued to ask, "Are we just the two going to Tianwei City?"

Tianwei City is a first-tier city. When you go there, you will definitely not only attend the auction, but you will also have to visit their card area.

There are many more high-level card areas that Lu Yan cannot enter and low-level card areas that he can enter than in Hujiang City. Maybe he can get some good cards.

However, there were security issues, and Tianwei City was more chaotic than the small county town of Hujiang City. The two of them were complete bumpkins.
