She’d landed a big order, which ant she wouldn’t be short on money for a while.
Zero Egg analyzed rationally, "That Rabbit Demon Card is pretty good, almost on par with the B-Rank cards in my card pool. If you sell it, what will you use?"
Wen Jiang scooped up the freshly bought ice cream with a spoon, squinting in enjoynt. "Do you think I’ll only make these few cards?"
After a long silence, Zero Egg couldn’t help asking, "Host, do you have another system in your brain?" Otherwise, based on previous information, how could Wen Jiang co up with such a bold idea and actually manage to make cards?
Wen Jiang chuckled lightly. "You only think about whether there’s a system. Why don’t you consider whether I might be a soul from another world?"
Zero Egg was silent. Impossible! It roared internally. Their civilization was quite powerful, capable of traversing countless planes like this one. But it was almost impossible for people from these planes to traverse to other worlds. If Wen Jiang was from another world, it should have felt so unusual fluctuations. Why couldn’t it feel anything?
Zero Egg pondered deeply, even considering whether to send a report to the higher-ups for an investigation. But... would that make them suspect there’s sothing wrong with the host and reassign ? Zero Egg thought about the promise Wen Jiang had made—oh, the pie in the sky she’d described. She’d said it might surpass another Major System. How could it be... so reluctant to let go!
Ignoring Zero Egg’s dilemma, Wen Jiang had the remaining week to conceptualize a set of card ideas.
Of course, while she began to live the good life here, that moron Song Yingchen still managed to investigate Wen Jiang’s information through his channels. But he couldn’t find her.
The first to contact Wen Jiang was her school.
The school had a special partnership with the governnt. When they reported a student missing, the police took it very seriously. Upon discovering that Wen Jiang had moved into the Spirit Card Master Area, they were surprised and took the initiative to inquire about her situation.
"Is that so?" Upon hearing the police inquiry on the phone, Wen Jiang raised her eyebrows slightly. "Then I’ll have to trouble you to tell that idiotic school that I’m not going back. They can do whatever they want."
The policeman was sowhat shocked. "Ah? But Wen Jiang, not attending school isn’t good behavior. If there’s any problem, you can communicate with us promptly. Have you encountered any issues? You’ve just beco a Spirit Card Master."
Wen Jiang didn’t beat around the bush. "I was bullied by so morons from their school before. I can go back, but if I beat their heads in, would that be against the law?"
The main thing was that her card deck wasn’t ready yet, so Wen Jiang wasn’t in a hurry for revenge.
She had to stay in this world for so long anyway, and it was quite boring. Naturally, she wanted to keep so entertainnt for herself.
The policeman was speechless.
Weighing the fact that Wen Jiang had now beco a Spirit Card Master and possessed the ability to commit violence, they quickly adopted a solemn tone. "Wen Jiang, bullying is indeed a serious issue. We will conduct an investigation. Would you mind having a video call with one of our psychologists later?"
In this era, aside from card matters, the ntal health of ordinary people was still protected.
One could always seek help from the governnt for any situation. As long as you hadn’t done anything wrong, the governnt would most likely provide assistance.
Wen Jiang replied, "Sure." Later, she would just have Zero Egg impersonate her for the video call.
"Alright, then we won’t inform the school of your current whereabouts. We will protect your personal safety. If you change your mind, you can contact the school directly. We will inform you of any ssages that need to be relayed from the school."
"Okay, thank you, Officer."
The police officer was silent.
After hanging up, the police officer touched his face and looked at his colleague ruefully. "I’m only twenty-five, and I’ve already been called uncle. Am I really that old now?"
His colleague looked at him with a pained expression. "That old lady didn’t try to set you up with a girlfriend yesterday, did she?"
The police officer’s face was expressionless. "No. I said I wasn’t interested in having a girlfriend right now, and she suggested introducing to her nephew."
Her colleague was speechless. Impressive!

The police went to the Noble School to investigate.
Even among the Nobility, while there were channels to trace Wen Jiang’s whereabouts, it depended on the person, and Song Yingchen didn’t have that much influence.
At most, he could ask the school to retrieve so information about Wen Jiang.
But when Wen Jiang’s horoom teacher learned that Wen Jiang had the audacity to speak out about the bullying, her tone was sowhat displeased. "Then we must tell her that if she does not return to school within three days, our school will expel her."
The police officer frowned. "She is the victim."
The horoom teacher glanced at the police officer, not daring to offend him outright, and softened her tone sowhat with a smile. "Officer, you know how students these days love to exaggerate. She says she’s been bullied, but you have to ask her if she has any evidence. Without evidence, and without having reported it to our school, just saying she won’t co to school based on her word alone makes things very difficult for us. And besides, we..."
The horoom teacher’s tone subtly shifted to one of pride. "After all, we are one of the Empire’s prestigious Noble Universities. For a student to recklessly slander our reputation, and for us not to pursue accountability, is already quite rciful."
The police officer was silent.
The police officer pinched the bridge of his nose and glared at the horoom teacher. "We obtained Wen Jiang’s dical records from the hospital. She has indeed suffered serious injuries."
The horoom teacher’s smile froze for a mont, then she nonchalantly said, "Even so, did she report it to the police? Did she say who at our school did it? Is there any evidence at all?"
The police officer had no imdiate reply. That was indeed a good point.
Wen Jiang hadn’t filed a report.
The police officer guessed that Wen Jiang was just an ordinary person, unable to stand up to such a Noble School, and had thus chosen not to report it. He was wrong; Wen Jiang didn’t report it because she was saving it for revenge later on.
Seeing the police officer fall silent, the horoom teacher knew her assumption was correct. Wen Jiang, that student, was no stranger. She was previously seen as a country bumpkin from so rural area, powerless and without connections. Naturally, she wouldn’t dare to speak up after being beaten.
The school’s investigation reached a stalemate. Without a police report, the school refused to provide surveillance footage.
Even if they had the footage, it would be useless; those students wouldn’t be foolish enough to attack Wen Jiang in places with surveillance.
Of course, Wen Jiang received the school’s relayed warning: expulsion if she didn’t attend within three days? Well, that really was sothing she couldn’t ask for more. Later, when those idiots got bagged, no one would ever know she was the one who did it.
Chen Runyu acted quickly, transferring the one million buyout price.
He also knew about the betting ga ntioned in the post. However, the attributes of the Rabbit Demon Card couldn’t be exposed. So, he only took a picture of the Rabbit Demon Humanoid Card, helping Wen Jiang by tagging @No one knows the way ahead.
Bunny Treasure @No one knows the way ahead: The Master made it for ! [Image: Rabbit Demon Card].
Beneath it, a clip was attached showing the Rabbit Demon transforming into a bunny. It was only a simple transformation without any battle scene. This avoided revealing anything that could lead to speculation about the Rabbit Demon Card’s combat abilities.
The post instantly exploded.
