Chapter 101: Card Creator

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The effect of this passive skill is similar to what I expected. With it, I will have a huge advantage against close combat enemies.”

Zhou Chen was quite satisfied with his gains this time, although the process was quite difficult and took a lot of time.

Soon, Zhou Chen realized that the Black Knight’s corpse had disappeared. A staircase appeared at the end of the platform that connected to the mountain. It was obvious that it was reminding him to continue climbing.

‘I hope there are still enemies with such powerful passive skills up there, but their overall strength should be weaker.’

Zhou Chen thought to himself as he walked towards the stairs.

Although he had won the battle just now and seemed to be in a good state, it was actually the most difficult and dangerous battle he had experienced since becoming a Survivor.

The black knight was not just a live target with anti-close combat ability. In fact, he had high strength and speed, and had high proficiency in combat, giving Zhou Chen a lot of pressure.

Zhou Chen had used all his strength to stall for time before gradually grinding it to death. During this process, he had to maintain extreme focus because the slightest mistake might cause him to fall into a crisis.

Therefore, if the following enemies were all this strong, Zhou Chen felt that he might not be able to continue.

After walking for a few steps, Zhou Chen heard the old man’s aged voice.

“Thinking is the main way to approach the truth.”

Then, he realized that an upright stone slab had appeared on the stairs not far away from him. It blocked his path, and there were words written in the local language on it.

Zhou Chen looked at the words and was surprised to find that they seemed to be a math question!

“No way… I’ve already transmigrated, and I still have to solve questions…”

Zhou Chen felt a headache coming on. However, he studied the math problems written on the stone slab for a while and found that they were not difficult. It was only at the difficulty of junior high school.

He bent down and used his fingers to calculate on the snow on the steps. After doing some calculations for a while, he reported the answers; the stone slab in front of him shattered like an illusion, and the path was clear again.

“There can’t be more of such tests, right?”

Zhou Chen continued forward, feeling a little nervous. Between fighting and doing mathematical questions, he was still inclined to choose the former.

Because when he used all his strength, he might be able to defeat a strong enemy, but mathematical questions were things that he would not be able to solve if he did not know how.

However, to Zhou Chen’s surprise, the rest of the journey was very smooth and short. A few minutes later, he arrived at a flat land and arrived before a tall stone building that looked like a library.

“This is… the peak?”

After observing for a while, Zhou Chen realized that he seemed to have reached the endpoint.

He walked into the towering stone library and stepped on the bright marble floor. He turned his head and saw a bald old man in a gray robe sitting before a desk with a quill under the oil lamp.

“This old man… My Bloodthirst passive skill and perception are unable to discover him at all.”

When he saw this bald old man, Zhou Chen knew that he was not an ordinary person. He should be the legendary sage of the Holy Mountain.

“Young man, go to the bookshelves and take a book. That will be your reward.”

The bald old man looked up at Zhou Chen and said calmly.

“Alright.”

Zhou Chen felt a substantial pressure just from this old man’s glance. His heart chilled, and he immediately walked to the bookshelf in front.

Soon, Zhou Chen realized that the covers of the books on the shelf could not be seen clearly. Their surfaces seemed to be covered in a thin layer of mist.

“Just as the information said, what inheritance I obtain depends on luck, or rather, fate.”

Looking at the neatly arranged books on the shelves, Zhou Chen recalled the information he had gathered.

The people who reached the top had no way of knowing what books were on the shelves. When they took a book, they would be transported to the base of the Holy Mountain. After that, they would never have the chance to climb the Holy Mountain again, because they would be immediately teleported out after climbing a few steps.

“It is said that the inheritance obtained by every person who reaches the top is relatively suitable for them. At least, they will be able to train in the inheritance.”

Zhou Chen did not know why this legendary sage used this method to impart the inheritance, but there was a benefit to this, which was that there would not be decision paralysis due to the multiple choices. Anyway, they would not know what each book was, so they could just randomly pick one.

Zhou Chen also used this method. When he slowly walked past the bookshelves, his gaze swept across every book on them. After confirming that he could not see any information from the bookshelves and books, he reached out and casually took one. Then, in an instant, he realized that he had returned to the foot of the Holy Mountain from the warm library and was standing in the snow.

Zhou Chen lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand. He realized that the thin mist that was covering it had completely disappeared, revealing a title in local language: Card Creator.

“Card Creator? What kind of inheritance is this?”

Zhou Chen was interested. He opened the book and began to read.

“Card Creators are a group of extraordinary people who are good at creating and using magical cards.

They can use their soul power to draw on simple materials and create cards with magical effects. For example, the Weapon Card that can transform into a sharp sword, the War Pet Card that can transform into a lion, the Character Card that can transform into a brave soldier, the Skill Card that can transform into a large fireball, and so on.

Low-level Card Creators were relatively weak. They can only create some low-level item-type cards and have to fight by relying on various tools.

Intermediate-level Card Creators can create some War Pet Cards and Skill Cards. They can go from fighting alone to working with the pets to fight.

High-level Card Creators can create cards with permanent effects. They can create various Character cards and be a one-man army.

Legendary Card Creators can instantly create cards with just their soul power, without requiring any materials. They can also create powerful Nomological Cards…”

After reading this inheritance book called “Card Creator” for a while, Zhou Chen realized that this Card Creator was similar to the combination of a mage and a Summoner. Their own combat strength was ordinary, but they could use cards to achieve various effects and adapt to all sorts of situations..
