Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 344: Same Heart, Different Paths (XV)

Thousands of miles away from the card city, there is a barren land.

There was a slight energy fluctuation in the air, and the next second, a dark vortex appeared out of nowhere, and Bing Haoqi slowly walked out of it.

She still had a lot of things to do. After leaving Pepe and Song Ximing at Chenhai Apartment, she quickly opened a new portal and came to the wilderness outside the card city.

"Ayao, is the token that David Chang gave me still there?" She connected her consciousness to the system. In fact, she could scan the warehouse with her spiritual sense herself, but she was lazy and chose to let the system search for the object.

After a long while, A Yao's voice finally rang in his mind: "Yes, yes! There are a lot of things in the warehouse. Fortunately, the search function of this system is powerful. I almost lost it!"

Bing Haoqi smiled and conveyed his thoughts: "Let's find a chance to optimize the warehouse later. Now it's time to get to work."

After these words were spoken, A Yao was silent for a while.

"To be honest, this system has never thought about what the world mission itself means..." it said hesitantly.

"It's not your fault. You are just issuing tasks as usual," Bing Haoqi consoled. "What connections there are between tasks and what the meaning behind each task is are all within the host's consideration. It has nothing to do with you."

According to Fu Cangzhao, the inkless pens numbered no more than ten are extremely strong and cannot be broken by her own strength, so the one in David Chang's hand must be at least number eleven.

The aliens were born with weak mental strength, so they had to find another way and use Ka Mo to make cards. However, because part of their energy was dispersed to Ka Mo, the energy utilization efficiency of the white cards they used could not be maximized, and the quality was much worse than that of the card city.

A flash of white light appeared, and the card that David Chang gave her lay quietly in her palm. She had touched Wu Ruohuang's card before, and she had also made a "water drop" with ink, but no matter which card, it was half as light as the card in front of her.

She and A Yao had checked the card repeatedly but did not find any small mechanism such as a interlayer, so they could only start with the materials used to make the card.

A Yao said that Sunset Gold occupies a large proportion of the card ink. All cards mixed with Sunset Gold have the function of indicating direction to a certain extent, because when you point it in a certain direction, the pattern of the card will glow.

She held up the card. It wasn't obvious at first glance, but after a closer look at it against the setting sun, she saw a faint hint of gold in the card's lines, as if it would only fully light up when aimed at a certain angle.

Each person and system changed direction several times, compared carefully, and finally confirmed the direction.

East side!

"Let's go."

Bing Haoqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the sunset. His steps seemed neither fast nor slow, but in fact he walked several hundred meters in just a few seconds.

All kinds of powerful beasts often appear in the wilderness, and there is almost no regular pattern, which makes it very difficult for humans to establish fixed residences, because you never know which beast will appear near your residence in the next second.

So far, the only human settlement that can truly be called a "city" is the card city.

But this does not mean that other battle card master settlements are inferior.

The land beneath her feet was extremely vast and the terrain was not complicated. Within two days, she arrived at a battle card master settlement.

The card in his hand that indicated the direction was shining with golden light, and it was obvious that the small town in front of him was the destination.

"Purple Smoke Town".

There is a sign at the entrance with the name of the town on it.

Bing Haoqi's figure passed by the signboard, like a ghost, floating lightly through the streets and alleys, and people hardly noticed anything unusual.

"Ayao, have you found some...interesting places?" After observing for a while, she summoned the system with her mind.

"It seems so," A Yao said casually, "There are a lot of women in this place, maybe because it's close to the card city?"

"I think that the geographical location is only a part of the reason why Ziyan Town has developed to its current level." Bing Haoqi hid in the dark and silently observed the people coming and going in the town, his pair of ink-black eyes moving back and forth.

If an ordinary citizen came here, he would probably feel very comfortable. There were no aliens to be seen on the streets, and most of the people he saw were strong and healthy.

Bing Haoqi noticed a problem: since their lifestyle was so similar to Card City, why didn't they just join in? Was it really because they didn't understand?

After confirming that she could not see anything by further observation, she left her hiding place and walked on the road like ordinary townspeople. After walking for a while, she came to the commercial street, and the number of shops on both sides of the road increased significantly.

Among the many shops, one stood out. There was no text on the sign, only a purse pattern.

Is it about money? Bing Haoqi walked in with curiosity. There happened to be a few people in the store, doing something at the counter, so she took the opportunity to eavesdrop on the conversation.

After listening for a while, she roughly understood what this store was. The "ink stone" mentioned repeatedly in the conversation was an indispensable raw material in the card-ink system. No matter how much stuff was added to the card-ink, there was one material that must be present, and that was the ink stone.

Only by adding inkstone can those various raw materials fuse with each other and become ink, and it can carry spiritual power. No wonder it has become the currency of Ziyan Town.

"Ayao, just pick out some materials from the warehouse." After a brief thought, Bing Haoqi said to Ayao in her heart. Then she walked to the counter and put out the things Ayao had found.

The teller was frightened by the huge size of the alien beast's corpse. He hurriedly picked up the special glasses hanging around his neck and put them on. He checked it back and forth, with a look of surprise on his face from time to time, and he was muttering something.

After the inspection, the clerk said to her, "Your red-tailed lizard is really big, and the body is well preserved... eleven pieces of top-quality inkstone. Do you want to sell it?"

"Sell." Bing Haoqi said lightly.

The teller looked at her deeply, then bent down, took out a huge snakeskin bag from the counter, picked out eleven ink-black stones from it, put them in a smaller cloth bag, tied the bag tightly, and pushed it in front of her.

Bing Haoqi took the cloth bag and left without looking back.

She had a lot of inkstone stored in her warehouse, but she never noticed that it was divided into different grades.

The bag of stuff in her hand was very compatible with her mental power and was much better than the medium and low-grade inkstones that other people in the store had exchanged for.

Inkstones of the same grade were everywhere in her warehouse.

Bing Haoqi looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He then flashed into the darkness, hid in a dark alley, and took out a piece of inkstone from his cloth bag.

She drew out a very thin strand from her vast spiritual consciousness and probed into it, but before she could fully understand the structure of the inkstone, it quickly merged with her spiritual consciousness.

When she withdrew her spiritual sense and looked at her hand again, she found that the ink stone had disappeared, and the spiritual sense she had withdrawn had subtly grown a little stronger.

Kawen, it's all a diary.
