Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 282 I will start making new cards_1

Of course, this matter was not so easy.

She had clearly asked Sa Ang and had made a soul-bound pact with him. If Sa Ang betrayed her, he would die immediately. She clearly told Sa Ang about the possible consequences of this matter.

Still, Sa Ang firmly agreed. He would never betray Helena, and thus, this pact would never come into effect.

Wen Jiang asked Sa Ang to go back and make preparations, and she told Karin about the matter.

"You need Sa Ang to return to his hometown to find something for you?"

Wen Jiang nodded. "Is there any problem with that?"

Karin did not see anything wrong with it.

Although Sa Ang has just become an A-Level Spirit Card Master, he’s a local, so there aren’t really any restrictions on him. If Helena herself were to go, the higher-ups would certainly try to stop her. However, since it’s just an A-Level Spirit Card Master going to find something, there should be no issue.

Karin even offered to cover the travel and plane expenses.

Moreover, Wen Jiang mentioned a key point. "I’ve recently been inspired and want to find a quiet place for seclusion to make A-Rank Cards. Do you have any place to recommend?"

Naturally, Karin was pleased.

It’s not unusual for Spirit Card Masters to enter seclusion to make cards, as a noisy environment genuinely impacts their creative inspiration. Moreover, Helena asking us to arrange a place means she’ll be right under my supervision. So, Karin readily agreed to everything.

Thus, Sa Ang’s passport was quickly processed. Holding the basic cultivation technique authored by Wen Jiang, he, who had never traveled far from home, nervously set off to a foreign land.

His destination was Helena’s hometown.

Truthfully, he felt some reluctance to leave Ceylon City. After all, it was his home, even though it was in chaos.

However, Helena had said that he would have the chance to return sooner or later.

And Karin found Wen Jiang a large, secluded space elsewhere in Ceylon Cemetery.

Even if we have to monitor Helena, having her nearby is sufficient. If we’re too close, Helena might notice and become displeased.

Of course, Karin would never know that she herself would personally cause Ceylon City to be reconstructed yet again.

Wen Jiang thus acquired her own private seclusion spot.

What she planned to make was still Shennong.

Summoning Gabriel would create a great commotion and quickly attract the attention of the Blood Emperor and others. Wen Jiang could, at most, take it out in the Card Making Pool for observation.

But now that she possessed an SSR Card, she indeed felt the difference from A-Rank Cards. Even an SSR Card made by someone else seemed especially lively. Sometimes, Gabriel would even respond in some way to her summons.

It’s just a pity that, in the end, it’s only a card.

Perhaps in countless other worlds, deities similar to Gabriel truly exist. After all, the God of Desire has appeared, so what would be impossible?

Sigh, she didn’t know if she could actually ascend to the legendary divine realm.

Wen Jiang also made a phone call to Hua Zhuo.

"I’m going into seclusion for a period to make an SSR Card. It might take as short as a month or as long as several months. If I don’t contact you first, there’s no need for you to reach out to me for now."

Hua Zhuo was surprised. "You’re making an SSR Card so soon?"

Wen Jiang replied, "I have some confidence, so I’ll give it a try. It might not succeed."

Even she could only say so much. If her rank wasn’t sufficient, it would be a forced breakthrough. SSR Cards possess certain unique properties different from A-Rank Cards; successfully crossing that barrier naturally leads to success. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

At the moment, she still couldn’t create an SSR Card as powerful as Gabriel.

But it should be enough for me to advance in rank.

Hua Zhuo marveled at Wen Jiang’s talent. "Alright," he said, "but are you sure you’ll be safe over at Ceylon Cemetery?"

"There shouldn’t be any problems."

After discussing with Hua Zhuo, Wen Jiang calmed her mind and prepared to enter seclusion to start creating an SSR Card.

The one she had in mind beforehand was Shennong.

Shennong tasting a hundred herbs is a legend from ancient times. Shennong might have been a real person or a purely fictional character. However, that didn’t hinder her from making him into an SSR Card.

Shennong is also known as the Flame Emperor. Since that’s the case, as a Healing Card, wouldn’t it be reasonable for him to have some offensive power too?

Wen Jiang had created cards with multiple characteristics before.

The disturbances caused by creating an SSR Card were somewhat different from those caused by an A-Rank Card. However, before the actual card materialized, it was difficult to discern the difference, let alone for a failed attempt.

As Wen Jiang expected, when she first started making SSR Cards, even when trying to base them on Gabriel’s characteristics, for nearly two weeks, any attempt would collapse almost immediately after a faint image of the card began to form.

An SSR Card is, after all, an advanced creation. It’s more difficult than I imagined.

Meanwhile, time in the outside world continued to pass.

Big things were happening in Ceylon City. Ega, one of the leaders of the Fiend, had suddenly disappeared, causing an uproar abroad.

Good news, however, kept coming from Yunxia’s end.

Based on the information provided by Wen Jiang, the military developed an increasing number of A-Rank Cards. Someone even created a series of Ghost Race Cards. Yes, the Ghost Race. And an incredibly potent family of fierce ghosts at that: Red-Dressed Female Ghost, Black-Dressed Soul-Locking Ghost, Water Ghost, Hanged Ghost, and Slit-Mouthed Ghost.

With a myriad of bizarre methods of death, more than a dozen such cards were created. A single Spirit Card Master managed to create seven of them and was directly promoted for it. Due to his exceptionally resilient psyche, he possessed a unique advantage in creating ghost-type cards.

Because the cards’ abilities were repulsive and their appearances horrifying, even though they weren’t as powerful as those Wen Jiang created, they were still ranked as the foremost among the military’s most terrifying cards. The psychological impact far exceeded their actual power.

Yet, precisely because their power was mediocre, the military managed to sell several cards from this series.

They were very popular with the associations. The Mountain Ghost Association was the first to purchase them. After players from the A-Rank Group acquired these cards, one of their own teammates fainted from fright upon seeing one. Everyone who used them said they were great.

「Sanctuary.」

After Sa Ang disembarked from the plane, he knew people were still monitoring him. After all, he was sent by Helena, and they wanted to know what Helena was having him look for.

Sa Ang was unruffled. Back in his hometown, to escape others’ notice, he had developed his own methods of concealing his presence. He was extremely adept at avoiding detection.

The city was strictly managed, and these people couldn’t use cards. Relying solely on eyesight to monitor Sa Ang was too difficult. Sa Ang stayed at the Capital Hotel in Sanctuary for a few days, patiently reviewing the cultivation technique Wen Jiang had left for him.

Although it was written in characters that Sa Ang could not understand, Helena had told him that he didn’t need to. Helena had said that this cultivation technique wouldn’t be effective unless he achieved an internal epiphany; simply understanding the words themselves was irrelevant. This was because the script itself was something that manifested through cultivation, not something created using modern language.

About a week later, the people watching Sa Ang realized that he had disappeared.

The news was reported to Karin. Considering Helena was still supposedly making A-Rank Cards, Karin ultimately didn’t dare gamble on this situation. She could only instruct her people to do their best to track Sa Ang’s whereabouts while continuing to watch Helena.
