Chapter 72 Card Pet

"During this long journey, I have gradually abandoned too many things. Initially, I was furious and passionate. I had a sworn enemy with Huang, and I constantly yearned for revenge. To this end, I traveled to one world after another, answering one call after another. I helped them fight against Huang's power, but all that awaited me was repeated, endless failure.

"Later, I gradually calmed down, but also became confused. I forgot many things, such as the names of my comrades, the outline of my hometown, and the language I used to speak... Until one day, I realized that I had forgotten even my original appearance. In the repeated changes of bodies and revenge, I had long been lost.

"Or rather, in this chaos, only the instinct to fight and the obsession with revenge are the keys to the soul's existence. Beyond these, the disappearance of all other memories is only a matter of time. And so, I began to wander, disregarding everything else. Before this world arrived, I had already witnessed the destruction of thousands of other worlds.

"Perhaps soon, these remaining obsessions of mine will also dissipate. Then, I will probably disappear quietly in the chaos, leaving no trace... until I hear your call."

"Me?" Yu Cang caressed Ye Lai, "Is there anything different about my summoning?"

"Actually, there's no difference. However, this is the first time I've seen..." Ye Lai paused for a moment before speaking with a complicated tone, "a living being that won't be infected by the wilderness."

"What?" Yu Cang was stunned.

Only then did he realize one thing. No matter in the past or now, it was always the spiritual beasts that were infected and turned into wild beasts, but he had never seen a human being infected and turned into a wild man!

"My Lord, you and your people are special. When I realized this, I thought this might be my last chance for revenge." Ye Lai opened his eyes. "At the same time, I also miss the touch of the wind brushing against my flesh and the comfort of snuggling with my comrades. So, I have decided - to answer the call one last time. If I fail this time... perhaps I can finally end this long journey..."

"...This time it will definitely be different, Ye Lai." Yu Cang also became a little heavy.

He had never imagined that the wild beasts could be such a huge threat!

Although Yan State has always had good control over wild beasts, it is only limited to intercepting uncontrolled and dangerous wild beasts outside the country, and cannot truly eradicate the wild beasts.

More than three thousand years have passed, and people have long regarded famine as an "external threat" that can stimulate growth, rather than a threat that must be eradicated!

What's more, there is no ability to eradicate it.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang suddenly felt a chill in his body.

Huang can destroy a world in a few hundred years. Now that three thousand years have passed, has Huang discovered a way to pollute humans?

You know, those powerful wild beasts are all intelligent. Although they can't suppress their instincts most of the time, as long as they can think, there is a risk of deciphering these!

"But...what is the reason why humans cannot be infected by Huang..." Yu Cang frowned.

There is no difference in body structure between humans and spirit beasts. They are all made of flesh and blood. Human flesh is even weaker and cannot be compared at all.

If we talk about special places, it is only...

Yu Cang's eyes gradually widened.

Soul Energy Well!

This thing that extracts soul energy is unique to humans!

"Could it be this..." Yu Cang fell into thought.

But after thinking about it, I still can't come up with any other clues. There are still too few clues now.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. After all, there was something that could destroy everything all over the world. Who wouldn't be afraid?

"Before heading to the True Dragon's Death Place, let's make as many new cards as possible and improve the system..." Yu Cang gritted his teeth.

This is all he can do now. He can't do more.

Yu Cang sighed softly, calmed himself down, and gently stroked Ye Lai's head.

"Ye Lai, from what you said, you've been alive for a long time? This makes me feel very burdened when I touch you."

"Perhaps. I have indeed existed for a long time, but as Ye Lai, I am still young." Ye Lai raised his head and looked at Yu Cang with his big eyes. "In fact, in the long time, I don't have many memories left. According to the time of this world, probably only a few years have passed clearly enough... I am still just a child."

Yu Cang smiled lightly.

Ye Lai continued, "As for the touch, please don't feel burdened. I really enjoy your touch. It makes me feel that I am a real existence, not a wandering soul."

"You like being touched? That's easy." Yu Cang rubbed Ye Lai's little head, "Just wait until you're touched bald! ...By the way, in that chaos outside the world you mentioned...are there many souls like you in it?"

"Yes, there are many." Ye Lai nodded. "Most of them are like me, pitiful survivors of the destruction of the world. However, there are probably not many who are as old as me."

"Is that so..." Yu Cang thought thoughtfully.

At that time in Zulong Snow Mountain, the success rate of implanting the [Dawn and Dusk] entry soared to 67%. Could it be because Ye Lai happened to notice his call?

Yu Cang thinks it is very likely!

If there are really as many souls like this as Ye said, maybe we can find a way to summon them. Maybe we can build a deck full of undead warriors who can move independently!

"Ye Lai, do you know how to summon them?"

Ye Lai shook his head: "I don't have any relevant memories."

All right.

Yu Cang nodded.

It seems I can only figure it out on my own.

At this time, Yu Cang noticed a figure appearing on one side of the test site.

It’s Lin Yunqing.

"Senior, the data is almost ready." Lin Yunqing walked into the test site and his eyes fell on Yu Cang.

Then, his gaze shifted slightly and he noticed Ye Lai in Yu Cang's arms.

She raised her eyebrows: "Senior, do you play card pets?"

Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah."

The card pets that Lin Yunqing mentioned are a concept that has just emerged recently.

Someone has invented a summoning card that consumes very little soul energy and puts very little mental stress on it. The summoned beasts summoned by this soul card have basically no combat power, but are generally very cute. Some people have even put forward the slogan "You don't have to be a soul card master to have a card pet of your own."

But this card pet now... is actually similar to the "metaverse" in the previous life. It is a concept that is still being hyped. We can only say that the future is promising.

Apart from anything else, the card pet cannot move by itself. If you want to interact with it, you have to control it yourself, which is equivalent to playing with yourself, which seems to be a waste of time.

If you want to play yourself, do you need a pet card?

Moreover, no matter how low the consumption of this card pet is, it is still a huge burden for those who are not strong enough, not to mention ordinary people. If you want to maintain the existence of the card pet for a long time, you need to be a soul card master of at least level four or five.

Moreover, stability, texture, etc. are often unsatisfactory.

It would be better to buy a doll and play with it yourself.

Lin Yunqing was a little surprised to see Yu Cang admit it.

"I didn't expect that Senior would like this kind of thing that comforts himself."

Yu Cang: “……?”
