Mythical Card Maker: Starting with the Mountain Spirit

Chapter 53 Virtual Battle Device

"Isn't Fan Li's card such a rip-off?"

After much effort, all the necessary materials for the upgrade were gathered, and the relevant ceremonies were completed.

In the end, they even had to personally promote it.

Furthermore, you need to complete one hundred sales to upgrade to purple quality!

That's absolutely infuriating!

The chubby boy muttered to himself as he continued walking toward his next goal.

……

Lin Mo and his companion were naturally unaware of the chubby boy's incessant chatter.

At this moment, they were examining the map in their hands.

"Is this area called Misty Shoals where we're supposed to train?"

Fang Chuchu asked subconsciously.

"If the chubby guy wasn't lying, this should be the place."

Lin Mo nodded.

"But this shallow area is too big, it takes up a full one-sixth of the map."

I just don't know if we'll be together or apart when we go in."

"Look at the rules of the cracks; the rules are different in each crack."

"It also depends on how the Imperial Capital City government arranges things. If they prohibit team formation, they will definitely take relevant measures!"

"That's true!"

As the two were talking, a long, drawn-out whistle suddenly came from afar.

The two looked up and were astonished to see an airship with a huge egg-shaped steam bladder.

It slowly descended from the Imperial Capital Palace overhead, finally landing in the center of the white jade square below.

A large plume of steam instantly shot out from the tailpipe, rising into the air.

The airship's hull is very simple, without any unnecessary markings.

Only the four characters "御都天府" were written at the very beginning.

The airship was enormous, estimated to be four or five hundred meters long, and could accommodate hundreds of people.

It's practically a mobile fortress.

With a tremendous roar, the massive hull suddenly shuddered, and a huge hatch slowly opened.

Several staff members dressed in Yudu Tianfu uniforms slowly walked out.

In the very center stood an elderly man with a full head of silver hair, his face square and dignified.

He first glanced around, then spoke:

"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Lu Zhaoting, the tutor in charge of the enrollment for Yudu Tianfu this time."

I'd like to briefly mention a few points regarding the district-level examinations:

The district exam will officially begin at 8 PM tonight. The exam consists of a theoretical assessment and a practical assessment.

The first step is a practical assessment, which will take place in a rift, and therefore carries a certain degree of risk.

Please carefully consider whether you wish to participate in this district exam.

If you change your mind, you may leave now.

The silver-haired old man paused here, his slightly cloudy eyes fixed on the crowd like those of a hawk.

After about half a day, no one left.

The silver-haired old man immediately nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, and continued:

"Very good, your courage deserves praise."

Registration will officially open shortly. Simply inform the staff of your name and your current skill level.

After registration, staff will issue you an ID card, which signifies successful registration.

Next, there will be a simple mini-test.

The main purpose is to test everyone's practical skills.

After all, once you enter the rift, you will encounter all sorts of bizarre and mutated forms.

If one's strength is too weak, one will only needlessly throw away one's life.

The practical assessment will last for three days, which means you will need to stay in the rift for three days.

After three days, the academy will send an airship to pick you up and take you to the Imperial Capital.

Staff will then take you to Hanyuan Hall for the theoretical assessment.

Your theoretical assessment score will also be included in your final score, and the top ten students in this district exam will be determined.

The top ten will be awarded the title of "Ten Outstanding Talents of Tianfu".

As for the purpose of the title, you will find out when you enter the academy.

In addition, the top ten will receive extra rewards.

Furthermore, the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards.

Therefore, perform well within the rift, and I hope everyone here will pass the test.

As the old man finished speaking,

Soon, several staff members set up a desk in front of the airship.

Immediately, card makers began to sign up one after another.

Lin Mo glanced at Fang Chuchu and immediately said, "Sister Chuchu, let's go over there too!"

Fang Chuchu nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the desk.

After queuing for about ten minutes, it was finally Lin Mo and his companion's turn.

The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses.

She has an ordinary appearance, with a mole on her chin.

She glanced at Fang Chuchu and said calmly, "Name, cultivation level!"

"Fang Chuchu, Advanced Black Iron Card Maker!"

The middle-aged woman registered her and then handed her a white card.

"This is your identification card, which has a GPS tracking pattern and your relevant information engraved on it."

Do not lose it. Losing it will result in immediate disqualification from this district exam.

"knew!"

Fang Chuchu nodded, took the ID card, examined it for a while, and then put it in her pocket.

Soon it was Lin Mo's turn.

The middle-aged woman asked him a few simple questions, then handed him an ID card of the same design.

After registering, the two immediately lined up next to the airship.

There is a virtual battle system here that is about two meters high and three meters wide.

Its full name is Holographic Card Battle Device.

Lin Mo had only ever seen this thing in the news; even the Wushan City Card Making Academy didn't have it.

It has to be one of the top four universities!

They're giving it directly to test takers—that's quite a generous gesture!

The virtual battle device is very easy to use; simply stand inside, insert cards, and you can engage in virtual battles.

The battle device scans the card's combat power and then displays it in its entirety on the virtual battlefield.

The test is simple: just defeat the opponent assigned by the battle device to pass the test.

The battle will take some time, and the line in front is long.

Therefore, by the time it was Lin Mo's turn, four hours had already passed.

He glanced at the futuristic-looking virtual battle device, its lights twinkling.

Without hesitation, he immediately stepped inside.

The virtual battle device was empty, with a circular platform in the very center that was higher than the ground.

Next to the circular platform, there was a machine about the height of a person.

At the very top was a huge screen displaying Lin Mo's identity information.

The central area is a square card slot.

As soon as Lin Mo stepped into the virtual battle device, a voice broadcast immediately sounded.

Please insert the card into the designated card slot!

Lin Mo did not hesitate and immediately summoned the Mountain Spirit.

Just as he was about to insert it into the slot, he suddenly seemed to remember something and put the Mountain Spirit back, replacing it with [Nine Songs: National Mourning].

A series of buzzing sounds were heard.

The machine's screen immediately displayed Lin Mo's card's star rating and quality.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar voice announcement sounded again:

[Please stand in the designated teleportation platform and keep your body still. The simulated battle is about to begin!]

Lin Mo did as instructed.

The moment he stepped onto the circular platform, halos of light instantly rose from the bottom of the platform, enveloping him.

A sudden dizziness,

The next instant, Lin Mo suddenly found himself in a 10m x 10m x 10m void battlefield.

A flash of light appeared, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

In an instant, the black shadow solidified and took shape.

Transforming into a ferocious wolf-like creature of the Black Iron Six-Star level, it roared and charged towards Lin Mo.

Lin Mo's mind raced, and he subconsciously wanted to summon the Card Spirit.

But then he suddenly remembered that his cards were still in the card slot.

at this time,

A hazy purple aura emanated from in front of him, eventually transforming into the form of the National Mourning Legion.

The moment the National Mourning Legion appeared, it immediately engaged in battle with the Black Iron Six-Star ferocious beast.

"This is amazing!"

Sensing the exact same aura fluctuations as before, even with Lin Mo's excellent temperament,

At this moment, I can't help but be impressed.
