Is He Mocking You?
âIt better be that way, or youâll never be allowed to enter the house again.â
Qin Jianjiaâs jewel-like brilliant eyes carried a hint of threat, and her delicate oval face wore the expression of a strict wife.
So strict, truly befitting of an ice queen!
âAre you jealous?â Luo Sheng suddenly asked.
Qin Jianjiaâs clear eyes just glared at him without answering. Her pink-tinged lips only let out a âhmphâ as her soft, white jade-like hand continued to pull him in a certain direction.
Clearly, she was still extremely angry and upset about what he had said earlier, but she had no choice but to ask for his help.
Luo Sheng continued to reassure her as he walked beside her, âDonât worry, Iâm telling the truth. Iâm not interested in that kind of thing, and I actually find it quite disgusting.â
He then proceeded to tell her in detail about the earlier incident when Uncle Paul had invited him to a cafe, intending to conduct an underground transaction.
He also told her that his interest in the club was merely to understand this secret technique, to see if he could find a way to break it, otherwise he would be under threat in the future as well.
âSo what Iâm more interested in is, what secret technique do they use to turn card spirits into slaves?â Luo Sheng fell into deep thought.
Qin Jianjiaâs face remained expressionless as her crisp, bell-like voice came, âItâs not unusual for corporate conglomerates and evil forces to collude for mutual benefit.â
âIncluding your family?â Luo Sheng asked curiously. Suddenly feeling it was impolite, he added, âNever mind, forget I askedâŚâ
âYes, including my family. The person they want me to marry is a high-ranking Evil Card Master hidden in Harbor City.â
Qin Jianjia didnât seem to mind, perhaps having become more familiar with Luo Sheng, she no longer intended to hide it.
Luo Sheng frowned upon hearing this, âWhy? Does your family want to send you into an irredeemable situation?â
âNo, itâs because others offered too much. For the family, all clan members serve the familyâs interests, as long as the other party can afford the price.â
âBut why does it have to be you? Canât it be someone else?â
âBecause they only want Card Masters with the best genes, to cultivate high-quality next-generation Card Masters to become leaders of the Evil Card Master organization.â
Qin Jianjia seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, hanging her head and falling silent. Her white jade-like hand gripped even tighter.
Luo Sheng wanted to say something like âIâll protect you,â but he couldnât bring himself to say it.
The power of the Evil Card Master organization was well-known.
After all, the fact that they could easily help Qin Jianjiaâs family cultivate a Platinum-level Card Master was proof of the organizationâs strength. Itâs possible that Diamond Card Masters were commonplace for them.
Even the Card Alliance couldnât guarantee the cultivation of a Platinum-level Card Master so casually, let alone the academy.
Finally, Luo Sheng seemed to make up his mind and said:
âDonât worry, youâre my roommate after all. No matter what, I wonât just stand by and watch you marry those bastards. Iâll help if I can, I hate these organizations too.â
He was truly disgusted by the Card Collector organization, and the Evil Card Master organization was also the mastermind behind that operation, creating the Ghostly otherworld dimension awakening, putting him in danger and allowing Uncle Paul to take advantage of the situation. Fortunately, he escaped using the rule card.This chapter was copied from novelpâing.com without permission.
Luo Sheng wished he could wipe them all out.
Although their plan had been foiled now, and their members had been arrested by the Card Alliance, Luo Sheng still didnât feel very safe.
What if they made a comeback? He would still be in danger.
Qin Jianjia gently turned her delicate face towards Luo Sheng, pausing for a moment.
Then, her thin red lips showed a faint smile, unnoticed by him.
âI hope youâll keep your wordâŚâ
Her voice was so soft that Luo Sheng didnât hear it at all.
After walking for a while, Luo Sheng curiously asked, âBy the way, what did you want my help with?â
âFinding suitable material cards.â
As they were talking, they arrived in front of a huge stone church-like building not far away.
On the surface, it looked like a church, but inside was actually a huge hall, currently bustling with activity. When Luo Sheng entered, the spacious venue exceeded his imagination. It was like a banquet hall in a luxury building, easily accommodating thousands of people. The audience seats were full, and on the stage was a huge steampunk-like machine resembling a steam engine.
âWhat is this exactly?â
Luo Shengâs head was turning like a magpie, looking around curiously at everything.
Qin Jianjia explained, âThis is the venue for the Enhancement Competition.â
âHuh?â
Luo Sheng immediately showed a puzzled expression.
After all, Qin Jianjia was originally an Enhancer herself, so why did she need his help?
Until Qin Jianjia pointed at the machine above and introduced, âItâs an enhancement fusion device invented by an unknown corporation. It can automatically resonate and fuse cards. The competition rules are simple.
Enhancers find materials and main cards, letting the device perform the enhancement.
Whichever side finds cards with higher success rates and achieves higher level upgrades wins the match.â
Luo Sheng listened to her detailed explanation.
He was even more shocked. This was beyond his imagination â a device for enhancing cards?
This was practically revolutionizing the Enhancersâ profession.
Luo Sheng could imagine that if this kind of device was widely promoted, the Card Tower would basically become obsolete in the future, and a large number of Enhancers would lose their jobs and become worthless.
Because anyone could easily use the device for enhancement, why bother looking for expensive Enhancers?Find the original chapter at novelpiâng.com.
But soon he noticed a problem and continued to ask, âIf itâs already an enhancement device, why do you still need to select cards?â
âBecause it canât automatically identify which cards can be enhanced, so Enhancers need to input cards into it, constantly recording card types and learning to identify them.â
Qin Jianjia patiently explained the basic principle to him.
Luo Sheng had an expression of expectation.
Isnât this just AI?
By absorbing massive amounts of data for deep learning, it ultimately produces powerful artificial intelligence that directly replaces all industries.
In his previous life, he had encountered a kind of AI painting algorithm software.
It was a software algorithm invented by a tech company that analyzed all the famous paintings in the world for deep learning.
Afterwards, when people needed it, they could input keywords to create a beautiful picture. As long as the computerâs computing power was strong enough, it could produce tens of millions of pictures a day without any problem.
This almost revolutionized an entire industry.
Although itâs said that technology changes life, making it easier and cheaper for people to obtain paintings.
But the downside also appeared, with a large number of people losing income and becoming unemployed. The income that originally belonged to painters was basically all taken by oligarchic companies.
This caused wealth to be concentrated in the hands of the smallest group of people, and a large amount of technology and patents were also monopolized by them.
But Luo Sheng didnât say much. He was just a small figure and therefore couldnât change these things.
He registered for the competition along with Qin Jianjia, then sat in a corner position, waiting for the competition to begin.
However, on a nearby sofa, a red-haired man with elven features saw her and smiled, âOh, still interested in playing here? Afraid you havenât lost badly enough, Miss Asuna?â
Qin Jianjia didnât respond, just sitting there quietly.
Seeing this scene, Luo Sheng looked at Qin Jianjia in confusion, âIs he mocking you?â
âNo need to pay attention to him.â
Qin Jianjia said coldly, obviously quite disliking that guy.
Luo Sheng was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by that guy, âThatâs not how you should say it. Iâm not mocking her, Iâm just telling the truth. Sheâs already lost two matches in a row.â
That guy walked over swaggering with a wine glass, patting Luo Shengâs shoulder.
He continued, âMy name is Louis XVI. Thereâs no future following her. You should follow me instead. I can eat meat, and you can drink soup. Following her, youâll get nothingâŚâ
