Chapter 2: The Nai River
from the time tunnels and these legions fought to the death to buy time for the creation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.【Silver Guard of the Moon Shrine】, 【Howler Under the Moon】, 【Silver Moon Drag...Lu Cheng repeatedly confirmed, his energy was indeed basically depleted.
The master's skill level is very easy to understand.
Using cards requires energy, and a card master's level determines what tier of cards they can use.
"Article 2 of 《Card Master Level Classification》 is as follows:"
If a card master can use two cards of the same rank without relying on external forces, they should be considered to belong to that rank.
Although card master levels don't necessarily represent skill, higher levels are required to use high-level cards. Otherwise, you have a gun but no way to fire it.
Lu Cheng used to be a Gold Card Master. Even though he didn't obtain the Gold Card, he could add up to eight five-star Purple Cards to his Neural Link Deck. He estimated himself to be at around White 2 star level. Using a single three-star White Card was already quite challenging.... This is what the Ferryman saw as "money," isn't it
However, the ferryman took "money," and his service was still considerate. Besides having their souls intact, their bodies were also restored to peak condition.
The brain domain card set, which had been destroyed due to overload, was also repaired. From then on, he would no longer be troubled by headaches.
He bowed deeply to the river surface.
Although the ferryman is greedy...
Although as the ferryman said, it was the pain of these three years that forged Lu Cheng's soul into an extremely strong one, enabling him to survive.
But saving himself was a fact.
And, he opened the door to a new world for Lu Cheng.
Looking at the surging River Styx before him, Lu Cheng was filled with a myriad of emotions.
It turns out that the card expansion pack from my hometown has been on me all along, starting from the "Transmigration" period!
Back then, I killed a lot of people who tried to frame me, but it's not enough!
This time, I absolutely have to return to the Heavenly Saint Empire with an Eastern deck, purge everyone who falsely accused me back then, and reclaim my rightful Duel Master position!
Lu Cheng let out a long breath, before him was the real... treasure trove.
Here, in this little riverbank, you can find 4 expansion pack cards and there isn't any other card masters competing!
I've already seen one [Yin Yang Ferryman] card, so there are 3 cards left.
Of course, I want all of them.
However, Lu Cheng was not an impetuous person.
I take another look around the surroundings.
The River Styx should normally be teeming with drowned souls, but this place is too remote; not a single ghost can be found.
The water was still clear. Looking closely, there were actually fish swimming in the river!
Lu Cheng frowned.
The fish in the River of Souls... they look so faint and blurry, this must definitely be an expansion pack card!
At the riverbank, how can one resist fishing
Seize the opportunity, Lu Cheng acted decisively!
You need to know, besides the classes like Magicians and Summoners who throw skills or summon minions, classes like Shapeshifters and Melee Fighters have to go in personally. Lu Cheng was a Fighter before, although he lost most of his energy now, his physical strength is truly at the level of a Master Dueler.
Catching a fish isn't even in your grasp yet...
Huh
Gone
He had clearly caught it, yet... his hand passed through as if it were nothing
Lu Cheng tried a few more times.
Just now I understand.
These fish aren't real at all! They are the ghost fish of the River Styx!
This is going to be tough.
As twilight descended, the Naihe River before them transformed. Its flowing waters suddenly turned a shocking crimson, like blood.
No!
When the thick smell of blood hit his nose, Lu Cheng confirmed it – the river was flowing with blood!
Day is water, night is blood......
The ferryman speaks the truth.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but complain in his heart, "This is something you should take to the hospital, they wouldn't even need volunteers for blood donations..."
Blood was flowing in front of them, no normal person would continue fishing in the river. They could only look at the river and sigh with regret.
This ghost fish, you can see it but can't catch it. It's clearly an expansion pack card, but it just won't be captured. Lu Cheng is itching to get his hands on it.
After thinking for a while.
People say that within a radius of ten miles, there is always something that can counteract poison. Could there be something around here that can capture ghost fish too
Look around.
Behind the beach is a small grove of trees.
Lu Cheng is currently low on energy and has no cards. Braving the forest recklessly would be a foolish thing to do.
However, this doesn't mean you can't pick up some twigs and branches on the outskirts of the forest.
If you really want to get rich, you have to chop down trees first. Besides, the trees by this River Styx don't look normal at all. They might even be expansion packs
An hour later.
You obtained [Soul Willow (3)]!
Soul-Chanting Willow (3)

The 3 next to a card's name indicates that 3 cards of the same name have been stacked on it.
Lu Cheng knew that if he stacked them too high, they might become [Soul-Soothing Willow Grove], [Soul-Soothing Willow Pile]...
This all counts as one card, of course, when the card master uses it, they can take it apart.
Looking at the card's attributes, Lu Cheng sighed with emotion. No wonder this willow tree was so difficult to grind, its material strength actually had a level 3.
Lu Cheng looked at the cards in his hand, a mix of emotions flooding him. He could finally obtain and use them again. Only after losing something do you truly know how to cherish it...
What the heck!
Ahead lies a vast willow grove....
He had never seen such a scene before. Most of the expansion packs and secret realms outside were as clean as they had been licked by dogs, and finding one or two was like striking gold.
What the hell, all I see now is 【The Soul-Taming Willow】!
I'm rich!
It's better not to bother with Duel Masters for now, let's set a smaller goal first and finish off Yuudu...
If it weren't for a major change in circumstances, Lu Cheng might have just gone on like that.
Find a quiet place, and on DouShi.net (a platform for trading), flip these lumber cards. Make a killing, live the high life, party with girls, and enjoy a carefree life. Life would be pretty good, wouldn't it
However, the reality is that cards brought about unparalleled productivity and technology to this world, but also harsher social rules.
The strong stood tall, and the social hierarchy was strict...
Royalty, aristocracy, clans, and dynasties...
If you lack the ability, don't even think about surviving on a meager plot of land! Don't even dream about it!
Lu Cheng stopped his thoughts and separated a sheet of Soul-Suppressing Willow.
He is just too weak now, using [Town Soul Willow] consumes him completely. Lu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.
A card master needs to replenish their energy. Besides resting, they can also rely on external help, the most common way being [energy potion] cards made by apothecary card masters.
However, Lu Cheng was penniless and had nothing. Even the most basic [Energy Potion] was beyond his means.
This willow tree isn't very large, but excluding the leaves and branches, the trunk is much thicker than an arm. Moreover, the hardness of the third-class wood is comparable to that of rocks on the shore, making it quite difficult to polish.
But Lu Cheng was very patient...
He is very skilled at this craft. In the card master duels' battle royale format, he often needs to create card weapons on the spot and use them to subdue animals for combat.
It got dark, but the sky in Youdu still glowed with red light at night, it was still visible...
I don't know how long it took.
