My Card Beast Taming Game

It has pure white fur, and its mere presence brings joy to people.

This is the core spirit beast of Bai Shounian, one of the vice deans of the Divine Capital Academy, with many eyes. It has a strong foundation to become an auspicious beast.

Countless people in Shendu Temple hoped that Bai Shounian and Duomu Baigao could attain enlightenment and continue their glory for another sixty years.

Suddenly, someone spoke up: "By the way, wasn't there a Pan family involved in the investigation of Zhou Chen..."

"Kill him."

Bai Shounian said calmly, "We shouldn't give these arrogant small aristocratic families any more chances."

"Ok."

The order was quickly relayed.

Currently, one-third of the members of the Card Master Association come from prestigious families, while the remaining two-thirds are undoubtedly members of the Card Master Academy.

Therefore, with the help of the Divine Capital Institute, the process, which originally took at least a month, began to progress by leaps and bounds.

The major families of Fengcheng were baffled, and even Yue Yong, the person involved, was initially confused about the situation.

However, he had a strong network of connections and soon figured out the reason.

"Zhou Chen...has advanced to the beginner level?"

Yue Yong frowned.

To a large extent, the Maple City Card Masters Association's vigorous promotion of Zhou Chen was carried out at his urging. The purpose was simple: on the one hand, to achieve political achievements, and on the other hand, to facilitate his subsequent operations.

The news that "a commoner genius was ambushed and killed by a powerful family in a secret realm" is sure to cause quite a stir.

To his surprise, his methods were completely ineffective. The Pan family was even more ruthless than he had anticipated. Before he could even exert any effort, the Pan family, those werewolves, jumped out on their own.

Although the plan was not put to use, the related schemes were discovered by the Li family in Shanghai, but Yue Yong did not care.

In the end, it was just a warning; the powerful families were all all show and no substance.

But now the situation is a bit off.

He wasn't afraid of Zhou Chen, who was only a beginner; his main concern was the Divine Capital Academy, as they seemed to value Zhou Chen highly.

Yue Yong tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "We need to think of something."

Chapter 127: The Secret Realm Closes

The outside world is in turmoil.

Bichao Island is calm and peaceful.

Zhou Chen's life remained unchanged. During the day, he practiced, studied, chatted, and played with Lu Qingning and the others. At night, he would run dungeons to kill monkeys and watch the Hua family in a state of utter chaos.

I wish these days could continue forever.

He had thought about it more than once.

According to Han Baobao, the three of them used to spend their long days like this when they weren't going to the secret realm for training.

Accumulating spiritual power is an extremely long process for a card master; only those who can endure loneliness can have the last laugh.

On August 30th.

Zhou Chen watched helplessly as the countdown to the Monkey Realm began, which was now in its 24-hour countdown.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Whether the monkey dungeon will disappear completely or become permanent depends on what happens after the countdown ends.

Huajia Village, Dianzhou.

The unrest is ongoing.

"What do you mean by the secret passage collapsing?"

As Hua Wangzhou listened to the report from the maintenance personnel of the secret realm, he felt a wave of dizziness. "Wasn't it supposed to be stabilized?"

"The array has failed..."

The maintenance workers were trembling with fear.

It's broken! It's broken again!

Hua Wangzhou had rarely seen an array malfunction in his life; he'd heard it so many times this month that his ears were practically calloused.

But they still can't figure out the reason.

Enraged, he roared, "Don't the array masters have any solutions at all?!"

"They're...they're trying to save him..."

The maintenance personnel were completely oblivious; they could never have imagined that the secret passage, which had been secured for over three months, would suddenly show signs of collapse.

On the other side, several members of the Hua family ran over. "Uncle Wangzhou, something's wrong. Should we evacuate the people inside first?"

"..."

Hua Wangzhou's face was gloomy.

The boast he made earlier still stings him, and now that the passage is about to collapse, he, as the person in charge, is truly at a loss.

Suddenly, Hua Ning's voice came from the side, "Uncle Wangzhou, just to be on the safe side, let's get people out first."

Hua Wangzhou turned to look at her.

Hua Ning said, "My father already knows about the situation here. He means that the strange phenomena in the Ape Secret Realm are not your fault. No one expected the array to fail so frequently."

"The clan leader—"

Hua Wangzhou's expression changed, and after his lips moved, he nodded and said, "I understand. Arrange for the evacuation! Collect all the rare and precious materials that can be gathered inside! Don't wait any longer!"

He quickly issued the order, and those around him felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

After the crowd had dispersed, he asked Hua Ning again, "What does the clan leader think of the strange events in the Ape Secret Realm? What about the Flower King?"

“My father didn’t say anything. Sister Hua Wang said that no spirit beasts of the universe have been born in the past two years, and anything could happen.”

Hua Ning explained in a low voice.

Hua Wangzhou: "The way of the universe... I understand. In the end, it's hard to get things done without someone above you."

He sighed.

Hua Wangzhou then added, "However, perhaps this is also a direction we can strive for. If any one of us can attain enlightenment through the universe, the landscape of the various Xia will undergo tremendous changes."

"..."

Hua Ning remained noncommittal.

Long ago, the masters of Zhuxiaka attained an extremely high state called Enlightenment, which signified a tremendous transformation of their spiritual power. Now, this state is called—

[King-level Card Master].

-

evening.

Super high-level dungeon.

"It's so quiet today."

After Zhou Chen finished killing the seven apes and making the cards as usual, he found that the familiar ape howls were gone, and the person who had been secretly watching him was also gone.

Even more strangely, the eighth gun-wielding ape appeared from a distance and launched an attack on him.

Startled, Zhou Chen immediately left the instance.

"Huh? Where are the Hua family members?"

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

It seems the entire Hua family has evacuated from the secret realm. Did they also know that the countdown was on?

Zhou Chen, unaware of what was happening, fell into a deep sleep.

After waking up.

He went to the instance again, this time having the Cloud Mist Witch show him around. Sure enough, there was no one there, and the tree hole where he had stored monkey wine had disappeared.

"Uproot it completely? That's too ruthless."

Zhou Chen realized that the Hua family seemed to have completely abandoned this secret realm.

He had also witnessed the frequent resurrections of the secret realm lords, and even occasionally used Hua Wangzhou's roars as a form of entertainment.

But they never imagined that one day the Hua family would completely abandon the Monkey Secret Realm.

Didn't they say the cost was incredibly high?

Zhou Chen quickly defeated seven Gold-tier monsters. With only 34 minutes left on the countdown, he resolutely forced himself to stay awake.

Time passed by, second by second.

He lay on top of Captain Changming, while the Cloud Mist Witch lay on top of him. The White Ape King also wanted to lie on top of him, but the Cloud Mist Witch chased him away.

This made the Black-feathered White Ape feel a little wronged.

Zhou Chen couldn't bear to see his spirit card being neglected, so he changed to lying on its shoulder, and then hugged the Longming Captain and the spirit cat.

The scene was incredibly harmonious for a time.

Finally, with only one minute left on the countdown, he mustered his strength.

59, 58... 34, 33...

10, 9...

3, 2, 1!

Under Zhou Chen's focused gaze, the monkey instance suddenly dimmed, turning into a gray area that was difficult to open.

A line of text then popped up—

The dungeon was not fully cleared, so the permanent access has failed to open. The next opening time is to be determined.

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen's eyes widened.

Not all levels completed, permanent access failed to activate?

So, the time limit was meant to allow him to complete all the levels and then make the dungeon permanent?

No wonder the Hua family kept getting the Secret Realm Lords to respawn like crazy no matter how they fought them; it turns out it was because they hadn't cleared the difficult dungeon.

But that's not right either.

He had already completed the game when he killed the Lion King Ape the first time, so why can't it be considered that he cleared the game?

At most, it's just that you didn't enter through the hard mode window!

Zhou Chen was speechless for a moment. He went to find the newly appeared dungeon and sure enough, there was a blank window below the monkey dungeon with a 24-hour cooldown above it.

"...Can you still give me 24 hours of rest? You've really worked hard."

He couldn't hold back any longer.

There are downtime periods in games, why don't you give us one too?

But there are permanent dungeons, fodder dungeons, and material dungeons in the game!

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and composed himself.

"Let's see what the new dungeon is tomorrow. Hopefully, it won't be too difficult," he thought to himself.

Ideally, it should be a copy that no one will discover.

The ape dungeon was alright at first, but the Hua family's intervention later gave him a chance to ambush the Lion King Ape, but the experience of running the dungeon on a regular basis was very poor.

Nobody wants someone always following them around.

Zhou Chen found a comfortable position, ungrouped the three spirit cards, held them in his palm, and nurtured them with his mental energy while meditating, quietly passing the rest of the night.

He is currently a Level 23 Novice Card Master, and his spiritual energy has already reached his chest.

The growth rate is very impressive.

You should know that others may not be able to make this level of progress even after several months, but in just one and a half months, he successfully took a big step towards becoming a senior junior card master.
