Exclusive sister card, unlimited evolution

"Use your brain, what can you buy with 100,000 yuan?"

"Buy what... Do you mean the Awakening Crystal?"

The debt collector was shocked and confused, and at the same time he understood why Lu Yan's attitude changed 180 degrees.

He is a card master like himself, and he may have been to the card domain and obtained new cards.

Waving his hand to signal the debt collector to leave, the burly man took out his cell phone and dialed an unknown number, and the call was immediately connected.

The gang leader showed a completely different personality from when he was with his subordinates, and humbly explained the situation to the other end of the phone:

"Yes, the target you asked us to follow repaid the loan within the deadline and seems to have successfully become a card master."

"..."

"Yes, yes, then should we continue? Okay, okay, we'll observe his movements."

After hanging up the phone, he called a few of his men and asked them to keep a close eye on the area around Lu Yan's rented house and monitor his every move.

The big man was not too nervous about offending the card master, after all, he was also a card master.

There are many ordinary people, but due to the huge base, there are actually quite a few people who can awaken and become card masters. What is more troublesome is the follow-up.

After passing the novice period and reaching about 2-star card master, the training speed will drop significantly, and the basic level of card master is 1-2 stars.

If you don't have good training cards, your own talent is not good, and you don't have money, you will probably be stuck as a 2-star card master for the rest of your life.

In short, if you want to break through the boundaries, you need at least one of money, talent, and luck.

In the eyes of the big man, what can Lu Yan, the last surviving member of the Lu family, do? He is even being targeted by his enemies.

Chapter 11 Herd

Card area [Tundra Snow Area].

The biting cold wind blew snow onto his face. Even though Lu Yan was wearing thick clothes, he could still feel the extreme cold. The cold penetrated through his clothes and went deep into his bones, making him shiver uncontrollably.

He filled his down jacket with thermal pads and covered the innermost underwear with tin foil to block out the heat. Only by doing so much was he able to walk in the tundra and snow.

This card area is not only dangerous in terms of living things, but also in terms of the extremely harsh environment. Compared to the permafrost, the climate of the human-machine battlefield is considered pleasant.

"hiss--"

Putting on a breathing mask to keep warm, Lu Yan hid behind the skeleton soldier and took a deep breath, using it as a windbreak to move forward.

Not many people come to this area. If you can't find the teleportation gate by accident, you will really freeze to death in there.

However, because of this, the cards dropped in the tundra snow area and some card areas with harsh environments have always been in high demand, and are usually 10% to 50% more expensive than cards of the same type.

The blizzard limited Lu Yan's visibility to more than ten meters, and he could not see anything further.

This is the result of Lu Yan's physical fitness being greatly improved. Now he can only let Hou Gu Bing be on guard on his own to ensure that no monsters will attack with the help of wind and snow.

When Lu Yan was worried that the trip to Kayu might be in vain and that he would lose the entrance fee in vain, Hou Gu Bing suddenly stopped and his upper and lower jaws kept shaking, making noises to alert Lu Yan.

Something is coming.

Being alert, Lu Yan kept a certain distance from the skeleton, pulled out the metal stick from his waist and scanned the surroundings.

At this moment, a strong wind rose out of nowhere in the snow, the raised snow piles exploded, and a huge shadow covered Lu Yan completely.

He raised his head suddenly, and saw a pair of strong arms coming towards his upper body!

It was a giant white-haired gorilla with a large amount of ice crystals attached to its back and head. Its expression was ferocious and terrifying, and it exuded a violent aura.

Looking at the gorilla that smashed his arm, Lu Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and everything around him slowed down in his perception.

The attributes given by Lamia gave him stronger reaction ability and dynamic vision, which allowed him to cope with sudden attacks to some extent.

【Electric current emission】!

A strong electric current jumped around him, and the white-haired gorilla, feeling the pain, couldn't help but roar loudly.

The gorilla was blocked by the impact and was unable to stop Lu Yan in time, allowing him to escape the attack range by rolling.

"Ron! Attack!"

The fall of the tall body caused snowflakes to fly up. The thick bone ice behind him passed Lu Yan, raised the big shield and short axe and came in front of the gorilla. He lifted up his legs and chopped directly at the gorilla's neck.

Lu Yan naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the show. He pulled out Lamia and summoned her. As soon as the maid landed, she received the command:

"Assist Thick Bone Ice in attacking the ape."

Lamia's legs sank into the snow due to her heavy body, but it did not affect her ability to quickly draw her gun. She aimed the modified submachine gun at the gorilla's body, and flames immediately spurted out from the muzzle.

The falling of the bullet casing was accompanied by blood splattering. The gorilla that was hit had just roared and shook off the annoying skeleton when its body was directly riddled with hornet's nests by the gun. The ice crystals on its surface did not provide much protection.

Picking up the material card [Snow Sleep Skin] dropped by the gorilla, Lu Yan patted the snow and said to Lamia, "Lamia, stay by my side."

I originally wanted to hide Lamia's presence, but the snowfield is too dangerous, and it is impossible to do it without someone around.

After putting away the card and moving forward not far, Lu Yan suddenly felt the ground shaking more and more strongly. He squinted his eyes and looked towards the location of the blizzard, then his eyes widened suddenly.

The entire shadow covered the snowfield and approached rapidly, looking like both an avalanche and a beast tide. In short, it was not a good thing.

"Lamia, can you see what's happening over there?!"

Facing Lu Yan's question, Lamia adjusted her sight, her eyes penetrating the snow and seeing everything:

"Master, many monsters are attracted by the two people."

How did two people attract so many monsters?

"Take me and run!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan made a quick decision to put away the slow-moving Thick Bone Ice, and reached out to let Lamia carry him on her back and escape.

Carrying the heavy load, the mechanical maid's feet sank deeper into the snow. She bent her legs and entered combat mode. The energy source in her body was activated, bursting out with powerful strength and speed, and jumped straight out of the snow pit.

Before the thick snow could sink after landing, Lamia stepped hard and used the recoil to jump forward, leaving behind flying snow and fan-shaped traces.

"Wait—wait—help—"

There was a shout from behind. Lu Yan, who was carried by Lamia, had no intention of going to rescue. What a joke! Going there now would be suicide.

.

.

After successfully getting away from the beast tide, the heavy snow quickly covered all traces. Lamia, who was running at high speed, had not yet reached the stage of fatigue. Following Lu Yan's instructions, she slowed down and stopped.

He found a cave and went in, then punched the polar bear living inside into a card. He looked around and decided to spend the night in the cave.

The situation outside is definitely not peaceful yet. If we encounter another tide of beasts, Lu Yan will have to endure severe bumps and bruises again.

His first experience behind Lamia was not very good. The back is the place with the least flesh, which means that the maid's bones would continue to hit Lu Yan while running.

Touching his chest that was hurt by the collision, Lu Yan took a breath and took off his mask, motioning Lamia to come closer, grabbing her hand and putting it on his face.

"Woohoo~."

The warmth spread across his cheeks, and Lu Yan's tense muscles immediately relaxed.

After a long run, Lamia's body, which had been warmed up, was emitting heat, and her body temperature was maintained at around 40 degrees Celsius, which was very comfortable to touch.

Calling out Thick Bone Ice, Lu Yan asked it to go to the cave entrance and used his skill [Crystal Wall] to freeze most of the opening, leaving only a small gap for air circulation.

The wind and snow no longer blew into the cave, and the room temperature gradually rose and became less cold.

Lu Yan opened the pocket on his waist, took out a few chocolates and ate them. He looked through the ice wall at the sky outside which was gradually getting darker, and leaned against Lamia and slowly closed his eyes.

The peaceful time did not last long. When he was about to fall into a deep sleep, the strong vibration woke Lu Yan up again.

"Damn it Ron, reinforce the crystal wall!"

The source of the vibration seemed very close, and Lu Yan didn't dare to bet whether the herd would target him while he was escaping, so he decided to reinforce the crystal walls of the cave and disguise this place as a small slope made of snow.

Because an ice wall was laid at the entrance of the cave in advance, if nothing unexpected happens, the outside will be covered with thick snow, and at least it will be difficult for the monsters to see the problem.

Lu Yan leaned close to the crystal wall and listened carefully to the sounds coming from outside. The various roars gradually faded away, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, the very obvious sound of communication attracted his attention.

Chapter 12: New Card Domain Information

Lu Yan realized that the two guys being chased by the monster were not far away. He immediately pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, but because the crystal wall was too thick, it was difficult to hear what they were saying outside.

"Lamiya, can you hear what they're saying outside?"

He turned around and asked his card. After the favorability exceeded 60, Lamia's execution of instructions showed a visibly improvement.

Before, she could only be ordered to fight and do chores, but now she can help with some other extra things, like eavesdropping and maybe stealing.

Lamia leaned against the ice wall, nodded slightly to indicate that she could hear what they were saying clearly, then closed her eyes and maximized her hearing.

After a while, she moved her face away from the ice wall, changed her voice, and repeated the conversation between them.

A deep male voice panted, apparently having just escaped a trap where he was being chased by a herd of beasts:

"Huh...Huh...Damn it, that guy ran so fast earlier. If he had slowed down, we could have diverted the blame."

"Wang Ruan, if you dare to mess around again next time, I won't tolerate you. I'll just leave!"

A slightly irritable female voice sounded, but there was no resentment in her tone, but more of a complaint.

"Hey, sister, I'm doing this to speed up our strength. You know, the new card area in the southern forest is about to open. Before that, our cards are not strong enough, and we will probably die if we go in."

"Damn it," the woman cursed herself, "Don't die in this icy world before you even enter the new card area!"

The rest of the conversation was insignificant. Lu Yan recalled the name Wang Ruan, and his impression of him emerged in his memory.

A dandy young man from the Wang family, relying on his own strength and family background, although he does not do all kinds of evil, he does bully men and women. Another person who does evil is probably his sister Wang Xue, who has the same character as him.

What concerned Lu Yan even more was the news about the "new card area". Logically, the emergence of a new card area would be notified by the official to all card masters in the town, and then they would work together to open up the new area. Why was there no news revealed this time?

"Could it be that the Wang family has blocked this new information, and neither the Li family nor the official authorities know about it, in order to be the first to exploit the new card domain?"

After figuring out the connection, Lu Yan came up with a plan. He didn't mind causing trouble for the Wang family.

.

.

After receiving the new information, Lu Yan did not leave immediately. He spent two hours hunting monsters in the tundra snow area and finally succeeded in getting the Hundred Years of Ice from an ice crab.

After getting the important card, he immediately left the tundra and snowy area and headed straight to Jiang Jiu's card shop.

"Boss, sell the cards, and give me a few defensive material cards suitable for Thick Bone Ice!"

Jiang Jiu was still lying on her old man's chair. Lu Yan was no longer surprised. He put the cards he had collected on the table and asked Jiang Jiu to help him choose the appropriate material cards.

Forget about getting ten Soul Ashes. The drop rate is very low, and most cards related to undead creatures require it, so the price remains high.

If Lu Yan wanted to buy it, he would probably go bankrupt. It was obviously not cost-effective just to evolve a thick bone ice that could only reach silver.

He planned to use other defensive material cards to randomly add a few skills to the upgraded Thick Bone Ice.

It’s better to add as many as possible, as long as they are not negative skills. You can make more money by selling them later.

"Okay, let me help you choose."

Jiang Jiu agreed and took out a few cards from the backstage and handed them to Lu Yan.

【Defense Enhancement】【Heavy Armor】【Bone Enhancement】.

Just from the names, one can tell what these cards are used for. Lu Yan took the change, then looked around like a thief, leaned over the counter, approached Jiang Jiu and whispered:

"I have some big news. Manager, do you have any connections in the government?"

The card maker's store is more or less related to the official, and since Jiang Jiu did not target herself, she is not familiar with the Wang family anyway and can be considered a trustworthy person.

"What big news can a down-and-out card master like you have?"

The petite store manager looked up at Lu Yan and curled her lips, but couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity: "Tell me, what's the news?"

The orchid-like breath fell on Lu Yan's face. He breathed in the fragrance and lowered his head slightly, saying very mysteriously:

"I have a grudge against the Wang family. I overheard a conversation between Wang Ruan and Wang Xue while in the tundra. It's said that the Wang family discovered a new card domain in the southern forest."

As soon as the words "New Card Domain" came out, Jiang Jiu's face moved closer again, his expression quite excited: "Did those two Wang family members really say that!?"

"You can tell me if you send someone to take a look. They say I have a grudge against the Wang family."

"Okay, if this is true, I... the authorities will definitely reward you with at least 100,000 yuan."

After receiving the news, Jiang Jiu drove Lu Yan out and immediately closed the store door. He stopped selling cards as this matter was more important.
