Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 127 Slapping the Face of the Card World Thief 3

After Shen Mingwen's battle ended, Nan Chuan glanced at the other card players' battles with a somewhat disinterested look.

Then he turned to Leng Yuexing and said, "Let's go buy some daily necessities now."

Leng Yuexing glanced at the other card players' battles, but didn't see anything special, so she nodded and walked into the mall with Nan Chuan.

The mall is enormous, and they also operate on the StarNet, so there are many delivery robots moving around in it.

There seemed to be more robots than humans, but they moved in an orderly fashion and did not disturb the people shopping.

Nan Chuan skillfully led Leng Yuexing through the mall. After purchasing their desired items, the store would have a delivery robot deliver them to their door, which was very convenient.

After shopping for more than an hour, Leng Yuexing finally bought all the daily necessities she needed.

Nan Chuan then suggested that the two of them go to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Leng Yuexing discovered that it offered a wide variety of food, many of which he had never seen before.

He then said quite naturally, "I didn't expect this restaurant to have such a complete menu."

Nanchuan quickly chimed in, "Of course! You know, many of the dishes in this restaurant come from the world of cards!"

"After cards are summoned by humans, they are able to carry some things from the card world, but the number and size they can carry are very limited."

"After humans discovered that some foods in the card world were also edible, they had the cards bring some food back from the card world. Some people saw a business opportunity and made money by buying and selling food from the card world."

Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow. This was something he hadn't thought of. He was also very curious about the food in the card world, so he followed Nan Chuan and ordered some dishes that looked delicious.

The first dish served was a plate of stir-fried colorful mushrooms. The mushrooms were a riot of colors, and the steam rising from them was also colorful.

Just as Leng Yuexing was about to taste it, she noticed Nan Chuan's hesitant expression and looked at him in surprise.

Nan Chuan smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I forgot to tell you..." He pinched his index finger and thumb together and placed them next to his cheek, saying to Leng Yuexing, "The food in the card world is delicious, but it all has a few side effects."

"Side effects?" Leng Yuexing asked in surprise.

Seeing that Leng Yuexing genuinely didn't know, Nan Chuan continued, "Yes, some can cause hallucinations, some can make people laugh out loud, and some can even make people cry, somewhat like losing control."

He pointed to the colorful mushrooms on the plate and said, "These are the mushrooms that can cause hallucinations, but the effect is very short-lived, lasting only a few minutes."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing looked at the mushrooms with interest, thinking they were just illusions and he wasn't worried.

After thanking Nanchuan, Leng Yuexing put a large piece of colorful mushroom into her mouth.

The colorful mushrooms look dreamy, and they taste just as dreamy, like refreshing tender beef with a touch of sweet juice, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth after eating.

After Leng Yuexing finished eating all the colorful mushrooms on the plate, the illusion that Nan Chuan had described appeared in his eyes.

He saw many colorful, glowing little people jumping and hopping around him, and he also saw some human bodies emitting a faint glow.

Leng Yuexing then realized what the illusion Nan Chuan had mentioned was. It wasn't an illusion at all, but rather the true nature of this world in another dimension.

Those colorful, glowing little figures are spirits that exist in this world.

They are transformed from the souls of the dead; when they were spirits, they were carefree and had little consciousness.

When the time is right, they will be reborn as various creatures in this world; this is the cycle of souls in this world.

The reason why the human body glows is because the soul within it is manifested in another dimension.

Seeing that Leng Yuexing's expression didn't change much after she finished the whole plate of mushrooms, Nan Chuan asked with some surprise, "Didn't you see the illusion?"

Leng Yuexing looked at the little figures dancing above Nan Chuan's head and laughed, "Of course I saw them."

"Then why don't you show any surprise at all?" Nan Chuan asked, quite astonished. "You don't know, when I first saw these illusions, I jumped up. The scene was simply unbelievable, don't you think?"

Leng Yuexing found this scene truly unbelievable for humans, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, the illusion disappeared from Leng Yuexing's eyes.

Next came black noodle soup that could bring tears to one's eyes and red chili peppers that could make one laugh out loud. After Leng Yuexing ate them, his expression remained unchanged, and he did not experience the side effects that Nan Chuan had mentioned.

Nan Chuan thought the food had lost its effectiveness, but after trying them one by one, he cried and laughed in front of Leng Yuexing, leaving Leng Yuexing in awe.

Even after the two left the restaurant, Nan Chuan was still surprised that Leng Yuexing hadn't reacted at all. Leng Yuexing told Nan Chuan that as long as one has a strong will, one can eliminate these side effects.

That illusion was only because Leng Yuexing wanted to see it.

However, in this world, no one's willpower can compare to that of an ancestor in the Tribulation Transcending stage; others probably wouldn't be able to resist these side effects.

Leng Yuexing did not tell Nan Chuan this.

Nan Chuan could only marvel at Leng Yuexing's strong willpower. Afterward, he continued to talk to Leng Yuexing about card players.

Knowing that Leng Yuexing hadn't summoned the cards she'd drawn yet, he looked at her expectantly, "Once you summon the cards, you have to let me see them!"

Leng Yuexing nodded happily; she could satisfy him on this point.

So, after the two of them went home, Leng Yuexing began to prepare to summon her cards.

Since the card depicted a flying fish, Leng Yuexing decided to summon it from the bathtub in the bathroom.

He filled the bathtub with water, then closed his eyes and began to meditate as instructed in the Card Master's Manual.

First, he needs to visualize the image of the flying fish on the card in his mind. Then, after feeling a warm power within his body, he concentrates the power in his hand, points his hand forward, and releases the power, which will summon the card.

After feeling a warm force leave his hand, Leng Yuexing opened his eyes and looked at the flying fish floating in front of him. He raised an eyebrow, feeling that he had seen this creature somewhere before.

After hearing its cry, Leng Yuexing finally remembered that the flying fish should be called Luoyu, a mythical beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The Yingyu lives in Guishan Mountain. It looks like a carp, but it also has a pair of wings on its back like a bird.

It can leap out of the water and fly in the sky, making a sound like the call of mandarin ducks. Wherever it appears, there will be floods.

Leng Yuexing's thoughts had just lingered on the last sentence when the water in the bathtub began to swirl rapidly, instantly rising to his eyes.

Then, the water was quickly splashed onto him, accompanied by the mocking cries of the snails.

Leng Yuexing: "..."

After a moment of stunned silence, he wiped the water off his face, a cold smile playing on his lips, and then began his fish-catching adventure.
