Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 371: Desperate Measures

If Wen Jiang has experienced anything absurd since traveling to this world,

Nothing compares to the absurdity before her eyes right now.

She has confirmed that this message was sent by the Heaven’s Mandate System.

Why couldn’t it notify her directly in her mind? She speculates it’s because it’s still bound to Yu Jian.

And now, the System wants to find a new host.

Wen Jiang doesn’t understand how these systems operate, as it involves deeper mysteries, but it doesn’t stop her from speculating many issues.

The Heaven’s Mandate System wants to get rid of Yu Jian, and it’s likely been planning this for many years.

Now it must have found an opportunity, so it reached out to this identity of ’Helena’ in advance.

What should Wen Jiang say?

When she created this avatar, she never expected the Heaven’s Mandate System would find her through this form.

Was it because she drew so much attention to herself that the Heaven’s Mandate System noticed?

Wen Jiang pondered for three seconds, then her hand slipped.

As if seeing a spam message, she prepared to delete these words.

After all, who would take it seriously?

The Heaven’s Mandate System was prepared, and the message automatically disappeared, replaced by a new line: [I know you won’t believe me, but if you’re willing to relax your mind, I can connect to you.]

Who would believe such nonsense?

Wen Jiang sneered, "What are you?"

Her tone was extremely arrogant.

And because of this attitude, she seemed overly harsh.

Compared to Wen Jiang’s calmness, Helena’s reaction was more ’intense’.

This was also to show the differences between Wen Jiang and Helena.

After all, after creating an avatar, Wen Jiang thought her acting skills weren’t bad.

The Heaven’s Mandate System paused briefly: [System.]

Wen Jiang: "What is a system?"

The Heaven’s Mandate System couldn’t hide its arrogance here: [An existence beyond your imagination. You know Wen Jiang; aren’t you curious how the Wen Jiang in Yunxia advanced to S Rank so quickly and shined in the world championship? It’s because she also had a similar system.]

Wen Jiang: "..."

Spreading rumors like this?

The Heaven’s Mandate System is not stupid; it knows the mysterious origin of Wen Jiang’s cards.

This has nothing to do with a system’s card database.

But its words suggested malicious intent.

It’s deliberately making others think Wen Jiang’s cards aren’t crafted through her own skill but through a mysterious system.

Tempting people to take the bait.

Wen Jiang indeed acted like she didn’t believe it: "Impossible. Are you saying that just with a system, someone can change Yunxia’s current status and situation in the Card World?"

[Yes]

The screen continued to display words: [Indeed. If you’re willing to understand, you can do it too. You already have great talent in creating cards, which is why I’ve approached you.]

"..."

Wen Jiang maintained her skepticism, with a cold smile: "Then what is your purpose? I don’t believe there’s such a good deal delivered to the doorstep."

The Heaven’s Mandate System: [Everything requires a reasonable exchange. I just need to rely on you to obtain something called emotional energy. Rest assured, it won’t harm you or affect you. Even if you aren’t interested in cards, I believe you’d be interested in high-dimensional worlds. Aren’t you curious about how the cards in your world came to be?]

The Heaven’s Mandate System indeed knew a lot.

It even disclosed information far beyond what a system should provide, just to lure Wen Jiang in.

After all, it didn’t have any bargaining chips now.

Wen Jiang’s pupils slightly constricted for a moment.

It seems Wen Jiang realized something, and the Heaven’s Mandate System thought its objective was achieved.

After all, Helena believing after just a few words would be problematic.

[I will contact you again. Of course, if you want to reach me, you can call upon me anytime, and I’ll appear immediately.]

"..."

Wen Jiang pursed her lips.

Contacting at any time is likely a form of surveillance.

If the situation weren’t inappropriate, she would have laughed loudly three times.

Fortunately, when the Helena body was created, she never intended to expose herself. So she only lightly searched through Wen Jiang’s browsing history.

Just the right amount of curiosity, leaving no trace.

And after learning about this matter, Wen Jiang immediately pretended to be curious and started searching through Yunxia’s forums for everything about ’Wen Jiang’.

On Yunxia’s side, Wen Jiang suddenly summoned Xing Wu.

Xing Wu maintained his lazy demeanor, only slightly lifting an eyelid when Wen Jiang summoned him: "Whose card do you want?"

After all, that’s the only reason Wen Jiang would summon him now.

But today, Wen Jiang laughed exceptionally joyfully: "I just thought of something pleasant and wanted to share it with you."

Xing Wu: ?

It was rare, but he raised his eyes slightly in disbelief.

From the pure black pupils that shimmered with light, a clear message was conveyed: Have you lost your mind?

With Wen Jiang’s usual demeanor, when had she ever smiled at him so brightly?

Even Zero Egg felt alarmed: [Host, have you split into two people, and your mind is splitting too?]

"..."

Wen Jiang chose not to stoop to Zero Egg’s level. Her smile faded a bit, but didn’t disappear, as she asked Xing Wu: "If a system needs to change its bound target, what price does it have to pay?"

Xing Wu’s eyes narrowed.

Zero Egg first screamed: [How is it possible to change the bound target?! We came here specifically for this target.]

If it were possible, it would have run away at the first opportunity.

Yet Xing Wu slowly opened his mouth: "My memory tells me it’s not allowed in principle."

But the principle wasn’t explained.

The so-called God of Desire was indeed a clever one: "The Heaven’s Mandate System found you."

He was so certain. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Wen Jiang didn’t intend to deny it.

[What?!]

Zero Egg screamed: [Impossible, what does it want from you? You can’t abandon me, right, Mom, Grandma! We’ve supported each other since last year. True, I haven’t been much help, but even so, we can’t part ways like this!!]

"..."

For once, Wen Jiang had a cross emerging on her forehead: "Are you stupid? With you around, how could it squeeze in?"

No matter how powerful the system, it must follow rules, right? It wouldn’t need to go to such great lengths to change targets.

Zero Egg: [But you said it contacted you—wait a minute.]

Not completely beyond saving, Zero Egg suddenly realized, and its system shell was stunned: [Could it have found Helena?]

Before Wen Jiang could speak, Xing Wu already jeeringly responded.

"A desperate measure."

It seems not only people become reckless in desperation, but systems do too.
