Resources are Monopolized, What Can I Do About My Unlimited Access Card?

Chapter 43 [The Last Meal] Effects, Talent EvolutionAfter opening Larson’s room, Gu Ye walked in excitedly, went straight into his bedroom, and saw the safe by the bedside. Gu Ye’s eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands as he approached, crouched down, and intended to open the safe.

Do I know the password? Gu Ye was stunned for a moment. He knew there was a safe in Larson’s room, but he didn’t know the password.

Night Dwelling Phoenix stood to the side, seeing him not open it after a long time, her tone mocking: You don’t actually not know the password, do you!

However, her next sentence made Gu Ye stand up happily.

I know it!

Really! Gu Ye looked at Night Dwelling Phoenix excitedly. Her lips curled up, the arrogance in her eyes undisguised, and her red lips parted slightly, spitting out two words: Beg me!

Hearing this, Gu Ye’s face stiffened, but for the sake of card-making materials, Gu Ye decided to beg her; a real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall.

I beg you!

Call me Queen! Night Dwelling Phoenix had a hint of vengeful pleasure in her eyes; she could finally avenge herself for Gu Ye’s constant defiance.

Queen, I beg you, help me!

Please, I beg you! Upon hearing this, Night Dwelling Phoenix got goosebumps all over, and she gave him a strange look.

She walked to the safe and waved her hand gently.

Click. The safe door opened easily.

No password needed?

I am the owner of the restaurant; everything belongs to me, including anyone inside the restaurant.

So that’s how you were able to become the embodiment of the Card Domain’s rules? Gu Ye asked the question that had been puzzling him all along. It was unheard of for a monster to be able to transform into the rules of a Card Domain.

You could say that, but it’s not entirely correct.

Night Dwelling Phoenix said solemnly: I, [Baroness of the Night · Night Dwelling Phoenix], am a Legendary-ranked powerhouse, one step away from ascending to Mythical. Every Legendary-ranked powerhouse has their own [Boundless Frontier], and the restaurant is included within my [Boundless Frontier], so I can easily replace a part of it.

Do you understand?

Gu Ye nodded thoughtfully and scratched his head; new knowledge had entered his brain again.

Alright, you can take it yourself. I’m going to catch something.

After speaking, Night Dwelling Phoenix instantly disappeared before Gu Ye’s eyes. He wasn’t worried about her being in any danger; she was inside her own body after all.

Gu Ye approached and crouched down. The safe was divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer was separated into several small drawers, and the upper layer was piled full of gold bars and coins.

Gu Ye reached out and took out a gold bar, weighed it, and tested its feel:

Whoa! It’s quite heavy. Monsters like gold too, huh.

Whatever, I’m taking it all.

Gu Ye climbed onto Larson’s bed, pulled down his bedsheet, and efficiently placed all the gold bars and coins into it. Then he looked at the row below and used his spiritual energy to pull out all the drawers.

The first drawer contained an earring, the second drawer was a letter...

Gu Ye put everything from all the drawers onto the bedsheet, then wrapped it up and tied a knot.

Seeing that Night Dwelling Phoenix hadn’t returned yet, he carried the bundle out of the bedroom, sat on the sofa in the living room, and began to read the letter. After reading it all, Gu Ye burned the letter with a speechless look. The general meaning of the letter was:

Larson and Samus grew up together. Later, the two met Anna and both fell in love with her. In the end, Anna chose Samus, and Larson, consumed by love-turned-hate, schemed against Anna during a dinner party, causing her to be directly killed by Night Dwelling Phoenix.

As for this letter, it mentioned later that Larson regretted it, how much he regretted it, and it was quite melodramatic.

Bang~

A black shadow was thrown onto the coffee table in front of Gu Ye. Gu Ye looked closely and saw it was a small [Human Armor Willow Crab]. However, seeing its aura was only Bronze Rank 1, Gu Ye reached out and poked its shell, saying amusedly: Yo~ This little crab looks quite unique!

Don’t touch, This Great One, hmph~ The [Human Armor Willow Crab] swatted Gu Ye’s hand away, turned around, and didn’t want to look at him.

Night Dwelling Phoenix walked in and said: This guy has been in the restaurant for over ten years, and I didn’t even realize it actually had the bloodline of an ancient exotic species.

Is it strong?

Kid, are you worthy of questioning This Great One’s abilities? The [Human Armor Willow Crab] heard his words, turned around, and retorted.

Little thing, you’re quite arrogant! Night Dwelling Phoenix said something at this moment that stunned Gu Ye.

If it doesn’t die, it should definitely reach Epic rank.

That powerful!

[Human Armor Willow Crab] turned around haughtily: Do you think This Great One is made of mud!

Night Dwelling Phoenix walked over, pinched both sides of the [Human Armor Willow Crab]’s shell, lifted it up, and walked out:

Now it is my slave. I will improve its strength, and from now on, it will protect you. Don’t disturb me unless there is something important.

Gu Ye followed her out of the Card Domain and walked out of the light gate. Gu Ye sat on the sofa and threw the bundle on the ground. Except for the gold bars, everything else had turned into cards.

The gold bars, I’ll deal with them at the market next time, although they aren’t worth much.

Let’s eat [the last meal]!

Night Dwelling Phoenix waved her hand, and a pile of food appeared on the coffee table. The food emitted an enticing aroma, and Gu Ye couldn’t help but swallow.

OK!

Gu Ye took the chopsticks without hesitation and began to feast.

Kid, look at that way of eating, don’t say you know This Great One. [Human Armor Willow Crab] looked disdainful and mocked.

Gu Ye was busy eating now and had no mind to pay attention to it.

This honey water is so sweet!

The wood ear mushrooms are so tender!

As Gu Ye continued to eat, a mysterious energy flowed from the food into his sea of consciousness, entered his life card, and nourished his talent [Refinement], while the flames of the [Furnace] burned even more intensely.

Two hours later, Gu Ye finally finished eating the food on the table. He turned his head to look at the [Human Armor Willow Crab] lying on the sofa: Where is Night Dwelling Phoenix?

She went to cultivate.

Kid, I didn’t expect that you humans also have such delicious food in your world! Gu Ye looked at the potato chips it was eating and gave it a disdainful look.

Gu Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, introspected his sea of consciousness, and checked the effect of [the last meal] on his life card.

[Refinement] (Tier 2 140/1000)

Effect:

[Decompose all cards and card-making materials into random refined materials; decomposition time varies with card rank]

[When decomposing, purify all harmful substances within the card]

[Decomposing cards of different ranks can obtain different ranks of experience points, used to upgrade the furnace]

[refined materials can be used as card-making materials; regardless of success or failure, a certain amount of experience points can be obtained]

[The host can control the range of refined materials; different ranks of refined materials require different experience points to consume.]

[Every time the host performs card-making or card strengthening, a card will be randomly drawn from the background of that card’s world.]

...

It really evolved. The effect of [the last meal] is so strong.

As for the new effects that evolved, Gu Ye could only say that getting things for free is the way to go.
