Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 587 - 392: Using Cards (Part 2)
At present, there are still two cultivation techniques he hasn’t practiced yet: the "Pure Yang True Skill" and the "Infinite Golden Body Skill." Among them, the "Pure Yang True Skill" is an inner power technique, which serves to comprehensively enhance one’s capabilities and extend longevity, whereas the "Infinite Golden Body Skill" is an outer power technique leaning towards defense, allowing a person to become as indomitable as an iron turtle that even an enemy would find frustrating to confront. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Both of these techniques would be considered mere embellishments for his current state, otherwise, he wouldn’t have prioritized them so low. Therefore, he was quite casual in his choice, not spending much time deliberating.
"I’ll practice the ’Pure Yang True Skill’ first, as I acquired this cultivation technique earlier than the ’Infinite Golden Body Skill’. Everything should follow a sequence."
After making up his mind, Wang Zhifan was about to access the corresponding cultivation technique inheritance in his mind to begin his study, but before he could enter the state, a figure suddenly appeared in the desert outside the black tower, flying rapidly toward the solitary structure in the desert.
If someone had excellent vision and dynamic tracking ability, they would realize it was a young man in a lab coat with glasses, emanating the serious aura of a researcher—who else could it be but Zhong Wei, whom Wang Zhifan hadn’t seen in over twenty days?
"It’s actually him? Well, it makes sense... if you calculate the time, it’s about when we agreed to meet... This scenario has been passing so quickly lately, it feels like every day goes by with just cultivation, with nothing noteworthy happening at all..."
As he was sighing inwardly, Wang Zhifan’s figure quickly appeared outside the tower—more precisely, he stood before the bronze door at the base of the black tower, gazing up at Zhong Wei, who was approaching at high speed from the sky.
Within seconds, Zhong Wei descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of Wang Zhifan, smiling as he said:
"Master of the Tower, nearly a month has passed since we last met! I rushed over as per our agreement! I hope I didn’t get the time wrong!"
He spoke while attentively watching Wang Zhifan before him, confirming that this figure was real rather than an illusion, which brought him some joy as it meant the other party didn’t intend to dismiss him carelessly.
"You’re right on time, let’s talk inside."
Wang Zhifan replied with a smile as well, then turned and passed through the bronze door, leading Zhong Wei inside.
Normally, after entering the black tower, one would arrive at a corridor, and passing through it would lead to the challenge of the first floor.
But as the master of the black tower, Wang Zhifan could alter the settings at will.
Currently, he had transformed the area into a luxurious living room, complete with sofas and a small dining table upon which sat tea and fruits for entertaining guests, specifically, the Paradise Fruits that Zhong Wei had tasted before.
Sure enough, upon entering, Zhong Wei immediately noticed the vibrant green fruit on the table. He picked one up and, in a playful tone, said to Wang Zhifan:
"Master of the Tower, I must confess—I’ve been working on a project recently with the aim of cultivating this magical Paradise Fruit. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take one back as research material."
"Sure, Paradise Fruits are indeed great stuff, allowing more people to enjoy them is certainly a good deed. If you need them, you can take a few with you."
Wang Zhifan responded nonchalantly.
He truly didn’t mind because on Gaia Planet he had access to almost limitless quantities of Paradise Fruits, rendering them not rare at all for him. As for others using scientific methods to cultivate them in large quantities, that was due to their own abilities.
However, frankly speaking, he didn’t believe that other places could perfectly replicate the unparalleled natural environment of Gaia Star. Even if Paradise Fruits were successfully cultivated in this world, they would hardly retain the exact same effects, inevitably diminishing in various respects.
"Since you’ve said so, Master of the Tower, I’ll take you at your word! Please forgive my needs as a researcher; having them as a research blueprint is indeed too important!"
While talking, Zhong Wei casually took two more Paradise Fruits from the plate and placed them in his pocket, showing no restraint at all.
With that, the small talk between the two was essentially over, and it was Wang Zhifan’s turn to fulfill his promise of revealing secrets about the players to Zhong Wei.
This moment was undoubtedly something that Zhong Wei had been anticipating. His Life Line Organization had refrained from taking action against players recently precisely because of Wang Zhifan’s crucial influence.
Before formally beginning, Wang Zhifan inquired whether he had any interactions with other players recently. If Zhong Wei already had some understanding, it could save him a lot of explaining.
"I haven’t. Until the day before yesterday, I was busy all around dealing with the mess left in the organization to ensure Life Line could maintain normal operations. Moreover, almost every day, people from Ya City came asking me about you, but knowing you dislike being disturbed, I didn’t disclose any key information about you... These matters have consumed most of my energy recently, leaving those ordinary outsiders out of my reach."
Zhong Wei’s words indicated he was still completely uninformed about the player group. Hearing this, Wang Zhifan fell silent for half a second before retrieving a silver-gray, classically styled card from his personal space, placing it on the table.
Just the appearance of this card was extraordinary, seemingly blending high-tech craftsmanship with a mysterious ancient artistic style. Particularly in the eyes of powerful supernaturals like Zhong Wei, it emitted an indescribable mysterious energy, capturing his attention immediately upon its appearance.
"This item is called a Career Card, and it contains all the secrets of our group. If you can use it, I need not elaborate further; you will quickly learn everything about us."
Wang Zhifan then presented his idea, which was to let Zhong Wei attempt to use this Career Card to see if he could become a player. If successful, Zhong Wei would understand everything, and it would also allow Wang Zhifan to verify some of the doubts in his mind.
"Career Card? What’s a Career Card? And how should I use it?"
Immediately perceiving the unusualness of the card, Zhong Wei remarked with interest, as he was always eager to learn about unknown things.
"A Career Card allows one to unlock an entirely new power system. This particular Career Card contains the vocation information of an Arcane Mage, which is a rare class of the magical system. I don’t know much about this class, but I’m certain it must have great potential... As for how to use it, simply tear the card, and if it works, you’ll feel the effects immediately."
With a brief explanation, Wang Zhifan also looked forward to the outcome of this trial, keeping a watchful gaze on Zhong Wei, who had already picked up the Career Card.
In fact, this was nearly a perfect opportunity for testing.
The native in front of him held a great interest in the player group, was sufficiently motivated to try without needing coercion from others.
On Wang Zhifan’s side, he happened to have a Career Card, a rare magic system class card, acquired from the original owner of the Mage Power Treasure Box and Demon Scroll, one of the foreign players dealt with by Wang Zhifan within the black tower.
He personally had no need for the card and was completely unfazed by its potential loss as regardless of the results, he would obtain the answer to his questions.
Predictably, as a powerful supernal and a researcher deeply curious about novel things, Zhong Wei hesitated little before tearing the Arcane Mage Career Card in his hand.
This action seemed somewhat impulsive, but actually reflected personal confidence and rationality.
Zhong Wei did not believe the small card in his hand could do anything detrimental to him, an S-grade dual-powered individual. Even if the mysterious foreigner before him really wanted to harm him, expending physical power would be a simpler method.
Thus, Wang Zhifan soon witnessed Zhong Wei effortlessly tearing the rare Career Card, causing it to quickly disintegrate into tiny specks of light and dissipate in the air.
Simultaneously, a change appeared on Zhong Wei’s face. He stared forward with puzzlement, as if something bizarre and unseen by others had appeared before him.
Then, without further words, this native abruptly vanished into the air, as if he had instantaneously escaped into another world.
