Chapter 92: Is He Mocking You?
“It better be that way, or you’ll never be allowed to enter the house again.”
Qin Jianjia’s 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!
“Are you jealous?” Luo Sheng suddenly asked.
Qin Jianjia’s clear eyes just glared at him without answering. Her pink-tinged lips only let out a “hmph” as her soft, white jade-like hand continued to pull him in a certain direction.
Clearly, she was still extrely 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, “Don’t worry, I’m telling the truth. I’m not interested in that kind of thing, and I actually find it quite disgusting.”
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 rely 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.
“So what I’m more interested in is, what secret technique do they use to turn card spirits into slaves?” Luo Sheng fell into deep thought.
Qin Jianjia’s face remained expressionless as her crisp, bell-like voice ca, “It’s not unusual for corporate conglorates and evil forces to collude for mutual benefit.”
“Including your family?” Luo Sheng asked curiously. Suddenly feeling it was impolite, he added, “Never mind, forget I asked…”
“Yes, including my family. The person they want
to marry is a high-ranking Evil Card Master hidden in Harbor City.”
Qin Jianjia didn’t seem to mind, perhaps having beco more familiar with Luo Sheng, she no longer intended to hide it.
Luo Sheng frowned upon hearing this, “Why? Does your family want to send you into an irredeemable situation?”
“No, it’s because others offered too much. For the family, all clan mbers serve the family’s interests, as long as the other party can afford the price.”
“But why does it have to be you? Can’t it be soone else?”
“Because they only want Card Masters with the best genes, to cultivate high-quality next-generation Card Masters to beco leaders of the Evil Card Master organization.”
Qin Jianjia seed to recall so unpleasant mories, hanging her head and falling silent. Her white jade-like hand gripped even tighter.
Luo Sheng wanted to say sothing like “I’ll protect you,” but he couldn’t 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 Jianjia’s family cultivate a Platinum-level Card Master was proof of the organization’s strength. It’s possible that Diamond Card Masters were commonplace for them.
Even the Card Alliance couldn’t guarantee the cultivation of a Platinum-level Card Master so casually, let alone the academy.
Finally, Luo Sheng seed to make up his mind and said:
“Don’t worry, you’re my roommate after all. No matter what, I won’t just stand by and watch you marry those bastards. I’ll help if I can, I hate these organizations too.”
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 dinsion awakening, putting him in danger and allowing Uncle Paul to take advantage of the situation. Fortunately, he escaped using the rule card.
Luo Sheng wished he could wipe them all out.
Although their plan had been foiled now, and their mbers had been arrested by the Card Alliance, Luo Sheng still didn’t feel very safe.
What if they made a coback? He would still be in danger.
Qin Jianjia gently turned her delicate face towards Luo Sheng, pausing for a mont.
Then, her thin red lips showed a faint smile, unnoticed by him.
“I hope you’ll keep your word…”
Her voice was so soft that Luo Sheng didn’t hear it at all.
After walking for a while, Luo Sheng curiously asked, “By the way, what did you want my help with?”
“Finding suitable material cards.”
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.
“What is this exactly?”
Luo Sheng’s head was turning like a magpie, looking around curiously at everything.
Qin Jianjia explained, “This is the venue for the Enhancent Competition.”
“Huh?”
Luo Sheng imdiately 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, “It’s an enhancent 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 enhancent.
Whichever side finds cards with higher success rates and achieves higher level upgrades wins the match.”
Luo Sheng listened to her detailed explanation.
He was even more shocked. This was beyond his imagination – a device for enhancing cards?
This was practically revolutionizing the Enhancers’ profession.
Luo Sheng could imagine that if this kind of device was widely promoted, the Card Tower would basically beco obsolete in the future, and a large number of Enhancers would lose their jobs and beco worthless.
Because anyone could easily use the device for enhancent, why bother looking for expensive Enhancers?
But soon he noticed a problem and continued to ask, “If it’s already an enhancent device, why do you still need to select cards?”
“Because it can’t automatically identify which cards can be enhanced, so Enhancers need to input cards into it, constantly recording card types and learning to identify them.”
Qin Jianjia patiently explained the basic principle to him.
Luo Sheng had an expression of expectation.
Isn’t 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 computer’s 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 it’s 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 inco and becoming unemployed. The inco 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 didn’t say much. He was just a small figure and therefore couldn’t 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, “Oh, still interested in playing here? Afraid you haven’t lost badly enough, Miss Asuna?”
Qin Jianjia didn’t respond, just sitting there quietly.
Seeing this scene, Luo Sheng looked at Qin Jianjia in confusion, “Is he mocking you?”
“No need to pay attention to him.”
Qin Jianjia said coldly, obviously quite disliking that guy.
Luo Sheng was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by that guy, “That’s not how you should say it. I’m not mocking her, I’m just telling the truth. She’s already lost two matches in a row.”
That guy walked over swaggering with a wine glass, patting Luo Sheng’s shoulder.
He continued, “My na is Louis XVI. There’s no future following her. You should follow
instead. I can eat at, and you can drink soup. Following her, you’ll get nothing…”
