Chapter 1 Li Ang's gaze didn't linger on the cards. He released his psionic energy and repeatedly scanned Wang Congshan's mind to confirm that her physical and mental state were fine.

The test results from the surrounding monitoring equipment also showed that everything was normal.

Many power seeds in the killing field game come with some basic memory fragments that can teach basic usage methods.

However, there are also some power seeds that are more dangerous or contain traps.

It's best to be cautious.

"I'm fine."

Wang Congshan smiled, her brows slightly furrowed as she pondered and said, "In the spark, I saw some memories.

About the essence of planeswalkers, how to use the spark, and the path to advancement."

Wang Congshan slowly began to narrate. In the fragments of memory she had come into contact with,

planeswalkers were not a profession, but more like... a unique qualification similar to players.

They can come into contact with the origins of different worlds, travel through various time and spaces,

and almost all planeswalkers' lives are used to explore endless unknown worlds.

They observe, record, experience, and think about everything they see and hear, and use the experience and knowledge gained along the way to improve themselves—which is precisely the source of the planeswalkers' power.

"The essence of planeswalker power is recording, learning, and observation."

Wang Congshan pondered and said, "Planeswalkers can copy most of the things they have observed and deeply understood the essence of,

and engrave them into cards.

In battle, planeswalkers only need to draw and use cards to gain energy, summon creatures, form barriers, release spells, and so on."

She picked up a card,

and saw light flowing and colors shifting on the front of the card, slowly changing like ink painting, seeming to try to form a certain pattern, but failing.

"In terms of type, cards can be divided into [Land], [Creature], [Artifact], [Planeswalker], [Sorcery], [Instant], [Legendary], [Enchantment], etc.

Land cards are unique natural wonders seen by planeswalkers,

such as plains, islands, mountains, forests, swamps, and even rarer frost forest waterfalls, sulfur snow marshes, and snowfield pits.

Land cards are the source of a planeswalker's energy. Basic land cards can produce 1 unit of energy every once in a while, and advanced land cards also have some special effects.

There are more types of [Creatures], such as dragons, insects, ghosts, warriors, mages, and even demons and angels.

Planeswalkers can use the mana produced by land cards to summon these creatures from the cards.

[Sorceries] consume mana to produce magical effects,

[Instants] are instant-cast spells, and [Enchantments] are spells that last for a long time and affect the battlefield.

[Artifacts] are machines with extremely high mystery, containing terrifying power. They can be weapons, vehicles, or living creatures, or man-made constructs.

As for [Planeswalkers]... as the name suggests, planeswalkers can create cards from their own power projections and put them into the battlefield.

Since planeswalkers are more like qualifications than professions,

many planeswalkers have another power system, such as mages, psionicists, bloodline arcanists, warriors, etc."

Wang Congshan paused, turned the card in her hand over, and slowly said, "Also, notice the five small dots of different colors on the back of the card?

In the world of planeswalkers, everything can be divided into five colors, or five camps.

These five colors are white, blue, black, red, and green.

White represents justice, and is a symbol of law, order, and organization.

Blue represents wisdom, symbolizing schemes, trickery, and cunning.

Black represents ambition, symbolizing death, disease, and corruption, and can sometimes bring the dead back to life.

Red represents chaos, symbolizing violent, unrestrained power.

Green represents nature, symbolizing growth, life, recovery, healing, and brute force.

Including land cards, most cards have their own color.

For example, a basic white plains only produces 1 unit of white energy every once in a while,

and a basic blue island only produces 1 unit of blue energy every once in a while.

Some [Creature] and [Sorcery] cards have mandatory requirements for energy attributes.

For example, a creature called a Bird Hunter, which requires a total of 2 mana to summon, must have 1 mana of white attribute energy, and any other mana of any other attribute.

In addition, there is also an attribute called colorless, which is not bound by color."

Wang Congshan hesitated, "Due to different personalities, experiences, and talents,

each planeswalker has different characteristics.

Generally speaking, a planeswalker will major in one to three color attributes, and build their cards around the colors.

For me... maybe white or blue?"

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, "Maybe?"

"Because I am not an official planeswalker yet, I am only considered an apprentice who has activated his talent, so I don't know what my color preference is."

Wang Congshan smiled wryly, "And my current psionic power value and knowledge,

doesn't seem to be enough to engrave cards."

"Okay."

Li Ang nodded, but felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

His premonition was correct. The future and depth of the planeswalker qualification are no weaker than various killing field game power systems, including the Ascension Ladder.

After binding the planeswalker's residual spark, Wang Congshan's personal panel did not change. Next, she has to continue to bind the [Cardinal Cube].

Li Ang and the Special Affairs Bureau's medical team retreated to the bottom of the platform.

Wang Congshan took a deep breath, took out the slowly rotating black Cardinal Cube, and confirmed the binding in the consciousness interface.

Clatter—

The Cardinal Cube suddenly stopped rotating, slowly levitating at Wang Congshan's fingertips, and then, suddenly exploded.

Bang!

The Cardinal Cube exploded and decomposed into hundreds of tiny cubes, suspended around Wang Congshan, floating around, as if they had life, gently undulating with her heartbeat.

"..."

A dazed expression flashed in Wang Congshan's eyes, and her fingers instinctively waved downward.

The surrounding suspended cube particles immediately gathered and formed, turning into a cube factory composed of precision parts, and freely fell towards the platform.

Thump.

The cube factory landed on the platform and immediately expanded, extended, and spread,

devouring and decomposing the metal surface of the circular platform at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sensing the special situation, the experimental center's alarm system automatically triggered, red alert lights flashed on, and ear-piercing sirens echoed up and down the several floors.

Only then did Wang Congshan react, waved her palm upward, and hurriedly stopped the Cardinal Cube from decomposing the circular platform.

The cube factory reluctantly detached from the circular platform and hovered in mid-air.

On the factory's assembly line, a large pile of exquisitely crafted metal parts, similar in style to the cube factory, were discharged and smashed to the ground.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Wang Congshan said to Li Ang and the others who flashed up, "The binding was successful."

In her equipment, the words [Cardinal Cube] appeared impressively. After the binding was completed, this equipment also displayed more information.

"The Cardinal Cube has a devouring attribute and cannot coexist with other equipment items. Any equipment items on the player with a mystery lower than or equal to the Cardinal Cube will be devoured by the Cardinal Cube.

But at the same time, the Cardinal Cube also has two functions: production and storage.

The user needs to consume psionic energy and specify the Cardinal Cube to devour items containing extraordinary elements to produce equipment items with the attributes of the Cardinal Cube.

And taking out items stored in the cube also requires consuming psionic energy."

Wang Congshan slowly said, "My current total psionic power value is about 900 points. I can forge up to two rare-level or one excellent-level equipment item."

"Hmm..."

Li Ang thought for a while and took out a rare-level hammer from his backpack.

The hammer's shape was unremarkable. It was a common right-angled claw hammer on the market. The hammerhead had a built-in strong magnet that could attract nails, and the hammer handle was wrapped in a circle of purple-green plastic.

From the color point of view, it looked a bit like an *Evangelion* Unit-01 co-branded model.

This hammer, called [Hammer of Opportunity], was equipment produced by the alchemical workshop's forging furnace. Its quality was average, and it had the effect of [50% chance to deal double damage when directly hitting the back of a humanoid target's head].

In the hands of low-level players, this piece of equipment might be miraculous,

but the current Li Ang completely looked down on the mere double damage—the hammer's hardness itself was not as good as his fist. One punch was more powerful than swinging the hammer.

"Here, let the Cardinal Cube assimilate and recast this hammer and try."

Li Ang handed the hammer to Wang Congshan, who took it, frowned, took a deep breath, released her mental power, and directed the cube factory to move towards the hammer.

Clatter, clatter.

The cube factory swallowed the iron hammer, and the sound of the engine starting, cutting and recasting sounded inside.

Two minutes later, a beautifully crafted hammer, completely different from its previous rough and crude appearance, was spit out of the Cardinal Cube's assembly line.

[Name: Cardinal·Hammer of Opportunity]

[Type: Secondary Creation]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: Powerful Headshot. When directly hitting the weak point of a humanoid target, there is a 50% chance to deal double damage. When hitting the head, there is a 30% chance to stun the opponent]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooldown: None]

[Equipment Requirements: None]

[Note: The stun effect of a powerful headshot depends on the opponent's body strength. The stronger the hit target's physique, the shorter the stun time]

[Note: Cardinal Cube creation, after being separated from the cube for a certain distance and time, will lose its mystery until it re-enters the Cardinal Cube]

[Note: As a car mechanic, it is logical for me to carry a hammer]

"This is considered a slight upgrade?"

Li Ang's eyes lit up. The new repair hammer had a passive effect of [a chance to stun when hitting the head] more than before,

and originally there was only a chance to deal double damage when hitting the back of the head,

but now there is a chance to trigger it as long as you hit the weak point.

The judgment range has become much larger.

"Hoo..."

After controlling the cube to produce the creation, Wang Congshan's face turned pale, "Reforging cost me 500 points of psionic power.

Now this piece of equipment cannot be put into the backpack, it can only be put into the Cardinal Cube.

Taking it out again will cost 50 points of psionic power."

She has not yet studied energy systems such as ripples, and the total amount of her psionic power is limited, so she cannot forge equipment at will.

In the following time, Wang Congshan has been experimenting with the effects of the Cardinal Cube.

After equipping the Cardinal Cube, her backpack is equivalent to being useless.

Once she comes into contact with any equipment items, it will attract the Cardinal Cube's devouring.

After testing, some items will be strengthened after being reforged by the Cardinal Cube,

like this [Hammer of Opportunity].

And other items will have a certain weakening.

For example, a miniature life potion can heal serious injuries of a life form in a normal state.

However, after being reforged by the Cardinal Cube,

the name of the miniature life potion has a Cardinal prefix,

and its effect has also become that it can only heal the injuries of Cardinal creations.

It becomes ineffective when given to ordinary people.

But at the same time, the Cardinal Cube has a built-in alien space, and its overall capacity depends on the user's psionic power limit.

The capacity is much larger than a fixed-slot backpack.

Even without using the backpack, it can carry items.

It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.

The process of experimentation and exploration lasted from day to night.

After confirming that Wang Congshan did not have any physical or mental problems due to binding these two items,

the think tank of the Special Affairs Bureau put forward one plan after another.

From the warehouse, they selected the equipment items most suitable for Wang Congshan at this stage to be reforged by the Cardinal Cube.

Including but not limited to full-coverage armor, basic assault rifles, a complete set of individual field survival equipment, reconnaissance drones, etc.

As a reward,

Wang Congshan needs to periodically hand over the forged items to the equipment research and development department of the Special Affairs Bureau for analysis.

The think tank must also participate in the research and cracking of the essence of the Cardinal Cube—this is a support-type item with unlimited potential.

If the mystery can be deciphered, it will be of great benefit to the Special Affairs Bureau.

After discussing all of this,

the Special Affairs Bureau and Wang Congshan signed a contract protected by the power of the killing field game to ensure the fairness of the rights and interests of both parties.

In the following period of time,

Wang Congshan continued to explore planeswalker abilities.

Since the Cardinal Cube has been bound to her personally under the system's power,

she successfully engraved the Cardinal Cube into an [Artifact] card without much effort.

The effect is to consume energy to produce cube creations.

Unfortunately, [Land], as the most important source of energy in the planeswalker power system, has many rules and restrictions.

You cannot make any piece of land, such as a park, river, or lake in Yin City, into a land card.

It must be an area with sufficient energy, similar to a blessed land.

In order to help Wang Congshan make land cards, the Special Affairs Bureau activated the teleportation array and took her to famous mountains and rivers certified by the Different Society as having abundant spiritual energy.

But it still didn't work, and the attempt to make land cards always failed in the last step.

According to Wang Congshan's vague feeling, the land card must be an area that completely belongs to her or has her legendary experience left behind.

So it can only be put on hold temporarily and deal with other things first.
