My Card Girl Infinite Evolution - Chapter 48

“Escaping an arranged marriage? Are arranged marriages at birth still a thing these days?” Luo Sheng was stunned.

Wasn’t this an outdated practice? After all, since the establishment of the Card Alliance, marriage freedom had been legally mandated.

Wang Keai nodded: “Of course you’d think it’s not common anymore, but for financial tycoons and prestigious families, such arranged marriages are the norm. It’s not only a way to quickly accumulate wealth and power, but when two powerful Card Masters unite, they can nurture even more exceptional offspring. Geniuses are the future of these wealthy families and clans.”

Indeed, in a society that reveres martial prowess, possessing strength and a vast network of influence is necessary to guarantee one’s rights.

Now it seems that the so-called marriage freedom law is merely a piece of paper in the hands of these wealthy families and clans. The law only applies to commoners.

“But isn’t Jianjia a genius girl? Why is the Qin family so eager to marry her off?” Luo Sheng continued to ask.

“That, I don’t know,” Wang Keai replied, also looking at her.

Seeing the gossipy gaze of the two, Qin Jianjia felt rather helpless.

She sighed resignedly, “It’s because they offered a condition that couldn’t be refused – to cultivate a Platinum Card Master for the family.”

A Platinum Card Master, above the Golden Card Master level.

An extremely rare type of Card Master.

Not everyone can easily reach the Platinum Card Master level.

Many people often reach a certain stage where their spiritual jade stops growing due to talent limitations.

Even if they want to grow, they must pay an enormous price, such as abundant resources.

Therefore, a Platinum Card Master can almost become the guardian of an entire region.

These wealthy families and clans are particularly like this. With more powerful experts, their influence within the Alliance grows stronger, and they can even infiltrate the Alliance’s inner workings to support their own people.

It’s similar to the Jewish capitalists of the previous world.

They also paved their way with funds and connections, directly controlling all agencies of a government from top to bottom.

They control a country’s overall direction, even wars, to seek greater benefits.

“What about now?” Luo Sheng asked with concern.

“If I can reach the Platinum level before I’m 20 based on my own abilities, this marriage arrangement will be void,” Qin Jianjia said.

“That’s too difficult!” Wang Keai frowned.

She completely disbelieved that one could become Platinum level in two years. After all, with the current advanced meditation methods, reaching Platinum Card Master level would require at least completing Card Master University studies without encountering any bottlenecks.

In other words, even under extremely ideal circumstances, even a super genius would need at least 4-6 years.

But in reality, various unexpected situations occur.

For instance, limited talent, mental space damage, lack of resources, and other reasons can hinder level advancement.

At this moment, a emotionless voice drifted over from beside the three:This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.

“There are no absolutes in this world. To advance to Platinum within two years, one only needs to undergo a bizarre change in the brain or open a second spiritual jade. Someone did this years ago. Simply put, improving the quality of the spiritual jade, that is, increasing the number and quality of divine patterns, can also be proven by card feedback.”

Somehow, Xu Yourong was now sitting next to Luo Sheng, analyzing the situation with an almost cold demeanor.

She wore a long, flowing wide-sleeved dress that trailed on the ground.

The pale lotus-colored dress seemed like a light, floating cloud, wrapping her tall and slender figure.

Her cold white skin, jet-black pupils, and the exposed shoulders and arms were equally fair, as if carved from white marble.

Only her glasses didn’t quite match the outfit, giving the impression of a laboratory saint forced to wear formal attire for a blind date.

At one table, Luo Sheng sat in the C position.

Positions 1, 2, and 4 were occupied by Qin Jianjia, Wang Keai, and Xu Yourong respectively.

At this moment, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while.

He didn’t expect Xu Yourong to suddenly appear beside him, which felt very odd.

Beautiful lady, what’s going on?

Three girls, one drama.

Feeling out of place, Luo Sheng cleared his throat and quietly interjected.

“Actually, I also think it’s not impossible. At Jianjia’s current pace, she’s likely to reach Silver level within the year, continue to push for Gold level next year, and should be able to catch up in two years.”

Xu Yourong shook her head.

She rebutted without mercy: “No, your understanding is incorrect. Current speed doesn’t represent the future. The rapid rise at the current stage is one thing, but after passing the Silver level, the difficulty of advancing through meditation methods will increase exponentially. Unless you have better, more extreme meditation methods, otherwise the streets would be full of Silver and Gold Card Masters by now.”

Her reasoning was so sound.

Luo Sheng couldn’t refute.

The four then fell silent for three seconds.

Wang Keai finally couldn’t help but ask: “When did you appear here?”

Qin Jianjia: “Same question.”

Luo Sheng: “Add me to that.”

“I thought you would ask more meaningful questions,” Xu Yourong sighed.

She continued nonchalantly: “I’ve always disliked attending meaningless parties. Seeing you three discussing cards in the corner, I came over.”

Clearly, each young lady has a different temperament.

From Luo Sheng’s observation:

Qin Jianjia belongs to the ice queen type of beauty, with an incredibly strong sense of self-esteem.

Wang Keai is of the hardcore tsundere level, terribly unskilled yet always trying to show off.

As for this Miss Xu Yourong before him, she should be the emotionless saint type, her eyes filled only with academic-related matters.

Luo Sheng said: “The way you put it, it sounds like you were forced to come here and had to put on formal wear.”Visit novelрing.com for the full chapter.

Xu Yourong nodded, then swept her gaze over the crowd at the party, saying with slight boredom:

“Indeed. Rather than socializing with those incompetent fools, I’d prefer to stay in my room reading. However, today wasn’t entirely fruitless. Some things are still very worthy of my attention, such as your appearance, which surprised me.”

“Me?”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment.

He then asked: “What have I done to attract your attention? Is it because of Xu Tianai’s matter?”

Xu Yourong blinked, saying incredulously: “Yes and no. After all, what surprised me most about you is that you became an Enhancer right after condensing your spiritual jade.

Not like those wastrel children from wealthy families, piling up massive resources to create a useless enhancement ability.

Moreover, your enhancement ability is strange, able to repair damaged cards. Clearly, it can’t be explained by common sense.

Add to that, you’re a commoner yet possess the ability to rapidly increase your level. I deduce that your current strength has already reached between Bronze 5-6 stars, rather than the Bronze 4-star ranking you have in the academy now.

Lastly, there’s the issue of your compatibility with cards.”

She rattled off a string of observations.

Without any pause, in one breath, as if she had long prepared this speech in her mind.

Or had been holding it in her heart for a long time.

“Hiss…”

Luo Sheng’s scalp tingled from her display of intelligence.

He didn’t expect her observational skills to be so formidable, noticing a large number of details.

And she could even roughly estimate his strength.

However, Luo Sheng still asked in return: “So, is this why you bet on me to win?”

“Not exactly, after all, my relationship with Xu Tianai isn’t good,” Xu Yourong answered honestly.

At this moment, a terrifying gaze was fixed on Luo Sheng.

He turned his head to find Wang Keai staring at him with narrowed eyes.

“No wonder you repaired my card that day and swindled quite a bit from me. So you were the hidden boss all along.

Come clean now!”

Qin Jianjia was sipping tea on the side.

However, her ears also twitched curiously, seemingly eavesdropping.

Indeed, all women love gossip!
