My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

"This is a glorious victory. You've lost!" Luo Sheng taunted with a smirk.

"You haven't completely won, big guy." Bai Moxue was unwilling to admit defeat.

She gently extended her fair finger and weakly poked Luo Sheng's waist, a disdainful smile creeping onto her lips. "You still have room for improvement..."

"Hiss... A gentleman uses words, not fists."

"I'm a ghost."

Dongfang Muqing stood speechless, looking at the two sprawled figures of Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue on the bed, as motionless as if bound by a curse.

Hands on her hips, she glared at them. "You two are absolutely shameless! Doing such indecent things in broad daylight!"

"You're just jealous. Tsk, tsk..." Bai Moxue shot her a smug grin, continuing to lay elegantly on the bed like a lump of useless mud.

"You!" Dongfang Muqing's face flushed bright red, steam practically rising from her head. Embarrassed, she stammered, "You're both perverts! Shameless! Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

With that, she plopped down in front of the computer desk, put on her headphones, and began humming her own tune, ignoring the pair completely.

Hmm???

Luo Sheng noticed her fluid movements and the brand-new computer setup: a cute turquoise case, a 27-inch LCD monitor. He froze for a moment.

"When did she buy a computer?"

Frowning, Luo Sheng racked his brain. He was certain there hadn't been a computer in her room before. Checking his account, he discovered that 50,000 yuan had mysteriously vanished.

It was clear that this girl had done it—buying the desk and the computer all at once during his bath.

Oh well, he thought. At least the computer could be used by the other card girls later.

After resting for a bit, Luo Sheng took out [Shadow of War] and a material card, [Soul Crystal].

In the dreamscape of his mental domain, a repair option appeared.

If [Shadow of War] could be repaired, Luo Sheng would have four fully maxed-out bronze cards. This would greatly improve his odds in the upcoming competition in just over ten days.

Without hesitation, he began the resonance process between the cards.

The [Soul Crystal] dissolved into a beam of light, merging with the card.

The world within [Shadow of War] began to evolve:

On the Shadow Isles, it continued reclaiming its subordinates and killed the evil emperor, the Death Messenger.

From the Death Messenger, it obtained a Soul Crystal, which it absorbed.

Not only did [Shadow of War] Hecarim fully restore its former power, but its soul fire also underwent a transformation, becoming even more refined.

It then set out for the central Shadow Isles, ready to challenge the wicked king and queen.

The card's world evolution froze at this moment.

[Shadow of War] was now a fully maxed-out bronze 10-star card, with its rarity upgraded from Excellent to Rare.

At the same time, it contributed a point of mysterious energy, bringing Luo Sheng's spiritual jade progress to 76%.

"It's stronger now," Bai Moxue remarked, staring at the card.

"You can feel that?" Luo Sheng asked thoughtfully.

Bai Moxue nodded and explained, "It gave off a faint feedback of energy. After all, it's my servant and will unconditionally share power with its master."

Luo Sheng considered this, formulating a hypothesis: if only [Shadow of War] were strengthened, Bai Moxue's level might also rise. But what if it were the other way around? Would strengthening Bai Moxue also boost her servant's level?

This required experimentation.

Stretching, Luo Sheng sighed. Although repairing [Shadow of War] had taken only two hours, the effort left his waist sore and numb from sitting too long.

Turning around, he froze: "Why is everything red now?"

He finally noticed that his previously soft, white bed had been replaced with bright red bedding. Even the curtains, carpet, and bathroom towels had turned a vibrant crimson.

"Do you like it? I'm your wife~" Bai Moxue patted her delicate chest, her face lighting up with an unintentional smile.

She pointed to a large "囍" (double happiness) character and said, "This is our wedding room now."

Luo Sheng: "..."

He checked his account again and found another 100,000 yuan missing. His heart sank. Fortunately, he still had over 7 million yuan left—enough to sustain his card girls for a long time.

Otherwise, he'd have to set up a street stall to upgrade cards to feed his 2D wives.

Dongfang Muqing, now sucking on a lollipop with headphones draped around her neck, slowly swiveled her chair to face them.

"Why is my chair red too?"

Her formerly turquoise gaming chair had been completely reskinned in red, leaving her annoyed.

Standing on the bed, Bai Moxue declared with hands on her hips, "I'm the lady of the house, so you have to listen to me!"

"No way! It's ugly—absolutely hideous! It feels like a nightclub. Turquoise looks way better!" Dongfang Muqing retorted, full of disdain.

"What did you just say...?"

Bai Moxue flashed a chilling smile. Beneath that sunny expression lay a terrifying aura, reminiscent of Sadako crawling out of a TV.

In her smooth white hand was an ominously oversized gold pair of scissors. Her grin deepened. "It seems like you want to become a plucked bird. Let me help you clean up."

"You... You... Stay away! Luo Sheng, help me!"

Luo Sheng ignored them. Feathers lost would eventually grow back.

He was distracted by a message from Zhao Haifeng, who had just been released from confinement.

The two chatted via WeChat.

[Haifeng: "I heard the Ghost Realm expansion has been contained. It was the work of the Evil Cardmaster Organization trying to kill the envoy and the noble families, aiming to sow discord."

Luo Sheng: "What happened after that?"

Haifeng: "They failed, of course. They activated the Ghost Realm's vitality, setting up an ambush for the Alliance Envoy deep inside.]

But who would've thought the envoy was a diamond-level cardmaster?

The Evil Cardmaster Organization tried to outsmart themselves and got wiped out instead.

Over twenty outer-circle members and some core members died. The city guards also destroyed many of their strongholds and captured rogue cardmasters."

Luo Sheng mulled over this information. It seemed that the Alliance Envoy, Weichi Xueyao, was quite formidable.

A diamond-level cardmaster was leagues above Pingcheng's city lord, who was only platinum 9-star.

Haifeng continued: "By the way, since you got the World Fragment, it seems to have stirred up competition.

Both the First and Third Academies managed to obtain fragments from the Ghost Realm in the past two days.

The Ghost Realm is now a third smaller, and the invading creatures have settled down. Pingcheng is back to normal for now."
