Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

107: The world is dangerousLiu Zhitao agreed, also giving Xu Bai a thumbs up.

“Where, where, maybe if you look at it for a long time, it’s nothing special. This is just an ordinary material. Maybe its appearance just looks a bit better than other products.”

“Appearance is everything. Who doesn’t like star energy stone?”

Yang Haoran sat up when he heard this.

“Don’t even mention it, this material looks like it’s made from star energy stone. I’ll go shopping tomorrow and buy one.”

Xu Bai was speechless. Well, who doesn’t like money? And star energy stone is even better than money.

“You don’t have to be so modest.”

Ji Yun also joined the conversation and reminded Xu Bai.

“Today I met my elder brother at the exhibition. My elder brother said that the value of this series is immeasurable, and the Fang, Zhao, and Li families might enter the ranks of first-tier families because of it.

Before, first-tier families were only those who cooperated with the military, and they all dealt with medical, exotic beasts, and star energy stone related businesses.

First-tier families are fine; they have deep foundations, so the threat to them is not significant.

Those second-tier families are now green with envy. A few of them were desperately trying to secure Government cooperation a few days ago, hoping to elevate their families to a first-tier family through cooperation, but they didn’t expect others to suddenly jump in.

If someone is narrow-minded, they might resent you.

Xu Bai, remember to pay attention to your safety later.”

Holy crap!

“Pay attention to safety? Is it that serious? Is someone going to kill me?”

Xu Bai was a bit confused, feeling irritable inside. It can’t be that serious, can it?

He hadn’t even researched cards Making in the direction of energy, precisely because he was worried about being assassinated.

Now she was telling him that just by researching a type of glass—no, now called glazed ware—someone wanted to harm him.

Is this world really that dangerous?!

“Those families might try to coerce or entice you, but as long as you stay in the city, they won’t lay a hand on you, otherwise they will face severe strike from the Guard Team.

My main concern is that some cults might want to seize your property.

Those cultists will do anything for resources and money.”

“Okay, thank you for the reminder.”

Xu Bai nodded, taking it to heart. He had encountered a robbery at an Energy Guild exclusive store before.

Maybe they were from a cult.

Oh, right, they said they would inform him after the incident was over.

I wonder how things turned out?

Why didn’t they tell him?

Right, he’s in Province B now, so the people there might not be able to find him. I wonder if they left him a message.

It was also because of the previous incident that Xu Bai had actually kept it in mind.

So, in the afternoon, Xu Bai asked his new friend, Feng Bao, if there was anything good that could protect him.

Perhaps he had spoken to his superior, because when they said goodbye in the afternoon, Liu Tianshi gave him a military protective shield cards to ensure his safety.

The advantage of this cards is its strong protective power. Although he doesn’t know what material it’s made of, he heard it can even withstand explosions.

So, it’s relatively safe inside.

At the same time, it also has a mechanical spring. After winding it once, it can emit an alarm sound to notify the nearby Guard Team.

It can only defend, not attack.

However, it has a drawback: you cannot move inside it, nor can you see what is happening outside.

It feels like a giant turtle shell.

Fortunately, the Guard Team also has corresponding exclusive key cardss for this type of cards.

Otherwise, Xu Bai wouldn’t know that the matter had been resolved while inside, and the voices from outside couldn’t reach him. Communication would be impossible.

With the Guard Team having the cards, it’s much easier to handle. After the matter is resolved, they can release Xu Bai.

“Cults are becoming more and more rampant.”

Yang Haoran sighed.

“When did cults start? I don’t remember there being so many when I was little.” Liu Zhitao also noticed this phenomenon; in recent years, large-scale terrorist acts by cults have become increasingly frequent.

“Cults have existed since the establishment of our Tianlong Republic.”

After saying that, Yang Haoran picked up his water glass and took a sip.

He kept everyone in suspense.

Xu Bai and the others looked eagerly at Yang Haoran, waiting for his explanation.

Putting down his cup, Yang Haoran began to speak.

“Initially, cults were only created by rebels who failed to seize power. They pursued monarchy, centralized power, and didn’t want ordinary people to share their power.

Therefore, the purpose of their cults was that cards Making is everything. This means that Card Makers held a very high status within them.

However, the scale was very large at first. After being suppressed for a period, the cult’s scale was broken up. At the same time, the cult’s high-ranking members disagreed, splitting into several sects.

The largest among them is the Divine Card Sect.

I don’t know the name of the Divine Card Sect’s leader, but I know he researched a technology that can convert ordinary people into Card Makers.

It was also through this technology that ordinary people flocked to them.”

“Then why were they less active before and more active recently?”

“Because the Government’s control over energy has strengthened recently. The cards Making materials for those cult Card Makers are also limited. Without star energy stone, those Card Makers would become useless.

Things like blank cardss, cards readers, cards duplicators, cards synthesis machines, and so on, all require the use of star energy stone.”

Everyone thought about it, and indeed, if they didn’t have star energy stone, they wouldn’t have much power either.

“Master Bai, who researched the method of using star energy stone, is truly amazing.”

“Indeed, I heard a rumor before that the Divine Card Sect requires ordinary people to hand over 1 million in cash or an equivalent amount of star energy stone to help them convert into Card Makers.

Does this mean that converting into a Card Maker also requires a lot of star energy stone?

Now that the Government is controlling star energy stone, does this mean those cults are all going to be wiped out?

Are their recent actions their last struggle?”

Wang Lang added what he knew.

“That’s for sure.” Liu Zhitao agreed with Wang Lang’s point of view.

Ji Yun poured cold water on them. As someone from the Ji family, a first-tier family, even though she was only from a collateral branch, the Ji family was relatively harmonious, so she still knew some information.

“I heard that the Divine Card Sect is still very powerful. Their sect has two nine-star Card Makers, and it’s possible that the Luo Lan Empire is secretly funding them.”

“Didn’t they say that the Luo Lan Empire and the Tianlong Republic are cooperating? Do they want to go to war?”

Xu Bai thought of the newspaper he had read before, feeling a bit confused.

“One can only say that on the whole, they maintain a state of cooperation, after all, we face a common enemy—exotic beasts.

But as for our own people fighting amongst ourselves, they are also very happy to watch the show.

Of course, the Luo Lan Empire is also unstable internally; they are practically fighting tooth and nail over the right of succession.”

...After chatting, everyone said their goodbyes, carrying oil lamps, and returned to their respective rooms.
