The Card Maker of Time Travel

Gu Chen felt the light piercing his eyes, and habitually went to grab the pillow at hand, until he found nothing, and then remembered that he had already traveled through time.

Sitting on the bed in a daze, I looked around my room.The originally cold and futuristic room has been tidied up by Gu Chen with warmth in the past few days, as if he was on Earth before.

Although Gu Chen is a person who gets by, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have requirements for the quality of life. If he can, he will definitely do his best to build his nest to a new height.Zeng Jiang went out to work these few days, but Gu Chen was forced to stay in the house because he was sick and needed to rest.

Gu Chen was very satisfied with this so-called slum room that Zeng Jiangkou particularly disdained. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the sunlight could fill the entire living room, making the room particularly warm and bright.On Earth, Gu Chen still lived in a cheap house in an urban village until his death. Several buildings were illegally built to expand the area, so that there were almost no gaps between buildings.Gu Chen often nestled on the damp balcony where the sun didn't shine, staring at the withered potted plants in a daze, so now he has an unparalleled longing for the sun.But this light is not sunlight, is it?It's not on Earth after all.But it's really warm and comfortable.

Zeng Jiang went out to work for the past few days, Gu Chen didn't dare to go out alone, put on the so-called computer, and pretend to be in the simulated world.Gu Chen was really surprised when he entered the simulated world. The completely real touch reminded him of the holographic online games commonly seen in Earth novels, but he was thinking about whether someone would be immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves since the virtual world is so real.

Apparently Gu Chen is one of them, the boy who was averse to computers when he was on earth has now turned into an Internet addicted boy.His authority is still very low, he can't go to places like the so-called wonderful arena and magic card guild in Zeng Jiangkou, he can only visit the living area.Of course, there are occasional things related to magic cards in the living area. Although the level is very low, it is obviously enough for Gu Chen's common sense, which is the level of a child with wisdom teeth.

For the first time, Gu Chen had a preliminary understanding of the so-called making and using magic cards in this world.When Gu Chen was in the living area, he met a young man with a particularly haughty expression performing card making. The cards were suspended in the air, and patterns gradually appeared on the white cards. After a long time, a flash of light flashed, and the card flew into the mouth of the young man. , turned into a water elf card.

Gu Chen heard the exclamations and whispers of others, and knew that this young man's skills were particularly good. As a time traveler and atheist, he always thought that levitating things in the air was something for magicians, so he saw Gu Chen was really a little dumbfounded that the young man could do it with his so-called spiritual power.

The boy patted his spotless white clothes and left, leaving everyone talking.

"This is the chief of the Shenhuang Academy this year, the young son of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Jue, who has already become a fifth-level card maker at a young age, and his future is limitless."

"Look at the water elf card he made. This is not an ordinary five-star card. Only less than half of the five-level card makers can do it."

"I still think Murong Zhuoqi, the head of Chaodi Academy this year, is amazing."

"Please, can card masters and card creators be confused?"

While listening, Gu Chen searched for relevant information in the portable search. It turns out that there are many types of magic cards in this world, from the most basic elements to plants, beasts and anthropomorphic, as well as auxiliary cards such as weapons and skills. Cards, among the cards of the same level, anthropomorphic humans have the highest requirements for card makers, so everyone was so amazed at being able to create a water elf just now.

Can this kind of card make a human?Gu Chen thought to himself, and searched casually.

It turns out that character cards do exist, and they are not so rare. Many of the high-level cards are character cards.The most famous character card is that in the first battle of StarCraft in 2566, the legendary god-level card maker Long Yin summoned the epic hero Ximo, which reversed the decline of the battlefield in one fell swoop.

However, there are only a small number of people who can make human cards. At present, card makers who are above level [-] and have certain adventures or talents with this ability can do it, so they are not listed separately in the card. In a large category of cards, they are collectively classified into other categories.

The cash-strapped Gu Chen originally planned to go to a low-level magic card shop to buy some cheapest cards for research. He chose a shop that looked very simple and would never deceive customers. He went in and found a counter for one-star cards. As a result, Gu Chen tragically discovered that even the cheapest cards cost four-digit star coins.And Gu Chen, whose net worth has just reached four digits, can only walk out of the magic card shop helplessly.

Reluctantly giving up the research on the cards, Gu Chen continued to wander around the living area, and finally found a lot of good things.Gu Chen found that the food in this world is quite developed. At first he thought it was because of Zeng Jiang's craftsmanship, but later he found that Zeng Jiang's level can only be said to be average. The taste of eating in Michelin restaurants.And the most important thing is that the food is very cheap. A set meal that is super delicious to Gu Chen only costs [-] stars, which makes Gu Chen feel satisfied in life immediately.

After eating a full stomach, Gu Chen continued to search for a lot of good things, such as the sofa and small lamps that he has always liked. After buying online, as long as you pay the money, the real goods will be delivered to your door.Gu Chen found that as long as the price of things that have nothing to do with the magic card is acceptable in this world, for example, now Gu Chen can buy a small room with [-] star coins for home decoration, which is more expensive than the four-digit magic card. As far as cards are concerned, Gu Chen said that he could not understand the prices in this world.

Gu Chen looked at this very warm room that he had furnished and felt satisfied. The brown fabric sofa, the futons placed randomly on the floor, and the comfortable rattan chair exude a touch of Southeast Asian style.There is a small orange lamp hanging on the window sill. When it is lit at night, it makes people feel warm.

When he came out of the room, Zeng Jiang had made breakfast and was waiting for him.The living room was also decorated very warmly by Gu Chen, decorated with appropriate green plants, and a refitted small water wheel scoured from a street stall, making this somewhat cold room suddenly a little smoky.When Zeng Jiang saw this transformation for the first time, he was almost startled. It took him a long time to realize that Gu Chen, who had lost his memory, actually had the attributes of a wife.

"I must go out with you today." Gu Chen looked at Zeng Jiang for fear that he would refuse again.Although visiting the virtual world is very interesting, and decorating the room also gives Gu Chen a sense of accomplishment, but after all, Gu Chen feels like a mushroom in a tree hole without going out every day.

"Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared." Zeng Jiang agreed very unexpectedly.Zeng Jiang was actually very helpless. He once took Gu Chen to the place where he worked, which was the garbage dump. Picking up garbage was actually not an easy job. Gu Chen, who was a waste material at the beginning, died after staying for two days. Shouting bitterness, tiredness, and boredom, he was no longer willing to go, but was raised by Zeng Jiang as a rice bug doing nothing.So when Gu Chen proposed to work together, Zeng Jiang was a little happy, but worried that Gu Chen would loathe work as before.

Picking up rubbish is not what Gu Chen imagined in Gu Chen's mind: beggars in shabby clothes picking and picking in the rubbish pile in the cold winter, and it's not an uncle riding a small three-wheeled tricycle and beating a small gong to tear his heart. Shouting to collect trash and the like.The subsistence allowances in this world are obviously better than those on Earth. Teenagers like Gu Chen and Zeng Jiang can receive enough subsistence allowances every month, enough to maintain relatively simple meals and daily necessities. Before the age of 25, they The housing that they live in is free of charge without paying rent.But after all, this money is only enough to maintain normal living expenses. If you want to achieve something or be a little self-motivated, then this money is not enough. Whether it is self-learning magic card-related skills or going to school, the high cost is not a low guarantee. borne or saved.

So Zeng Jiang would regularly go to the garbage dump to pick up "garbage".The planet they live on is an edge planet, so there is a garbage treatment plant, and the garbage will be placed in a large open space for two days before entering the garbage treatment plant, and there will be many people on this planet picking up garbage, although there is no clear text The regulation is legal, but the person in charge of the waste treatment plant is also silent, which can be regarded as a kind of tacit consent.

Garbage is divided into two types, one is ordinary domestic garbage, and this kind of garbage will be transported to the South Factory and decomposed quickly as soon as it is shipped.Other high-level garbage, that is, garbage that will be placed for two days, is mostly a lot of valuable garbage, such as magic cards that have almost no energy, and some waste cards that have failed in apprenticeship exercises, which can replenish magic card masters and card creators The discarded leftovers of spiritual beasts and so on.

These discarded high-grade wastes will finally be sorted and selected into the North Factory for processing.For example, all kinds of discarded magic cards will be turned into new white cards after processing. Although it is not as good as the brand new white cards just produced, it is obviously very suitable for many card makers to practice or research new cards.

Zeng Jiang often finds a lot of good things here. If it is a low-level discarded card that still has energy to use, he will save it. After collecting a stack, he will go to the edge of the forest for an experience.These discarded cards can only be used at most once, or even just an afterimage, but Zeng Jiang, who is struggling, can only use this method to improve his ability.And most of the completely discarded cards or discarded high-level cards that Zeng Jiang could not use, he would sort and sell them to shops in the market that specialized in accepting such cards.Although the recycling price is very low, it is better than nothing.

But now Gu Chen already has the spiritual power of a card maker. Although he is a first-level F talent with little room for improvement, Zeng Jiang still has a way planned for his little friend.It is difficult for low-level card makers, especially those with low talent, to independently and completely produce independent cards, but they can repair cards, or re-endow cards with certain energy, of course, only low-level cards.There are many low-talented card makers who may not be able to complete a card independently for a lifetime, but they can rely on the ability to repair cards for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.Zeng Jiang naturally hoped that his friend would be able to settle down with a skill. If he chose a wider sky in the future, he would not give up because of worry.

When Zeng Jiang and Gu Chen arrived at the garbage dump, there were already quite a few people, and everyone picked up in their own corners. There was only the sound of picking up garbage in the entire garbage dump, and there was no other sound of conversation.

Zeng Jiang dragged Gu Chen to a corner, then turned around and squatted in the rubbish dump and began to rummage through it.Before coming here, Zeng Jiang told Gu Chen some important points about picking up trash, and he didn't expect Gu Chen to be of much help.

Gu Chen glanced at Zeng Jiang who was devoting himself to it, and crossed his legs lazily to find a place to choose.The land chosen by Zeng Jiang was mainly dominated by magic cards, and there were no other beast corpses or some abandoned spiritual plants.Gu Chen casually grabbed a handful and scanned them one by one, finding that almost all of them were broken cards.The so-called broken card is different from a waste card. A waste card refers to a card that cannot be replenished after energy depletion or has problems in the magic card generation process. This type of card can also be processed twice to become a second-class card. white card.However, a broken card refers to a card whose surface changes after use, causing the card surface to become completely black and finally unable to be processed again. In summary, a broken card is worthless.

After picking and picking for a long time, Gu Chen only found a one-star useless card. Looking at the dozen or so cards in Zeng Jiang's hand, Gu Chen deeply felt the injustice of the world.Facts have proved that picking up trash is also a technical job, not just a physical job.
