My exclusive card pool

Chapter 15 Two-Star Green Card
"Eat meat...sunbathe...get strong."

Several strange and awkward mumblings echoed in Wang Xi's mind. Although they were not any human language he was familiar with, he could understand their meaning.

Obviously, this is the voice of a weak goblin.

A unique memory echo before the card is issued.

hum-

Under Godalil's astonished gaze, a card appeared out of thin air in front of the young man.

A dazzling green light that she couldn't see was now blooming from the card.

Wang Xi reached out and caught the card.

「Photosynthesis (Function Card)」

"Quality: Green 2-star (cannot be upgraded)"

"A weak goblin was once a member of the lowest level of the cave, frail and skinny. But one day, while foraging, he found a black apple. After eating it, his body underwent a strange transformation. He grew stronger by basking in the sun, and gradually became a powerful figure in the cave, feared by his companions."

"After using it, your skin will turn green, absorbing sunlight and absorbing energy, slowly strengthening your body."

'Um? '

Surprise flashed in Wang Xi's eyes.

It turns out that the big goblin is a mutant, no wonder he's so different. The description also mentions a "black apple," but who knows what kind of rare treasure it is, but the goblin happened to pick it up and eat it, awakening his talent.

A green two-star universal card!
And it is not a one-time consumption function card!
It's reusable!

"Soaking in the sun can make you stronger? This is even simpler and more direct than using a skill card!"

Wang Xi was extremely surprised.

The only thing that bothered him was that after using this card, his skin would turn green...

"It's green, so what? It's not like I have a green head."

Wang Xi comforted himself silently.

"I'm used to seeing white and yellow skin, so changing to green skin has its own unique flavor. As long as I can become stronger, it's nothing. Besides, I just need to use it secretly and not be discovered."

Anyway.

At least he convinced himself.

Wang Xi didn't plan to start the card experiment now, so as not to scare Godalil who was standing beside him.

Her handsome childhood sweetheart turned into a green goblin in the blink of an eye, which would probably cast an indelible psychological shadow on this simple farm girl.

Wang Xi is a kind man who is considerate to women and quietly put away "Photosynthesis".

He was about to get up and continue on his way, but he found that there seemed to be new changes in his mind.

Caius spat out some words from the dark crevice, forming a list of entries:
"Blueberry Flavored Icing (Skill Card)"

"Quality: White 1-star (upgradeable)"

Experience: 2/100

...

Elite Sergeant (Skill Card)

"Quality: Green One Star (Upgradable)"

Experience: 1/200

...

"Randall's Body Building Method (Exercise Card)"

"Quality: White 1-star (upgradeable)"

Experience: 0/100

Somehow, Caius revealed the hidden information of the cards. And these three universal cards happened to be upgradeable.

"Experience points?"

Wang Xi was slightly startled.

After comparison, he soon understood.

He had just fought the goblins, and after using the first two cards, his experience points had only increased slightly. However, his Body Building Technique hadn't even been used yet, so it showed zero.

"So, only through continuous use can you increase your proficiency and experience with the Wild Cards and complete the upgrade."

Just like the martial arts in martial arts novels, only through years of practice and actual combat can one improve the level of martial arts.

The upgrade of the universal card is similar.

Wang Xi seemed to be thinking about something.

"But relatively speaking, while others are trying to upgrade their cards by feeling their way across a river, I can use Caius to visualize and quantify the process, making it simpler and more intuitive..."

This is a very powerful feature.

Wang Xi can clearly see even the slightest gain and feedback.

Caius, you are so thoughtful!

At this moment, the dark crack in Wang Xi's mind flashed with light, and some words flowed out:

"Unactivated card detected!"

"Should I crush it into experience points?"

Wang Xi was stunned at first, and then his heart beat faster.

As a former card game product manager, he understood the meaning of the hint at a glance.

Isn’t this just “feeding dog food”!

Game developers often design one or more resource management strategies to help players effectively utilize redundant and low-value cards to enhance the strength of core cards.

The most common and mainstream method is to feed the redundant and low-value "dog food cards" to the core cards to achieve the cultivation effect.

Among the cards Wang Xi currently holds, only one meets the concept of a "dog food card."

——"If you hit a human, I'll knock your horse down"

He took out this green one-star "Excellent Trash" and threw it to Caius happily.

You're still scolding!
Your death is imminent!

Wang Xi focused his attention in his mind and found that whichever card he focused his mind on would light up.

A large shadow will also appear in the corresponding experience value column, as if to indicate the amount of experience that will be increased.

"Smash this card to gain 50 experience points."

"Smash it?"

'It's crushed!'

Wang Xi responded.

Then, after thinking about it, he fed this experience value into the "Randall Body Building Method".

As the only skill card he currently had, he wanted to lay a solid foundation. Only with a solid foundation could he further expand the effects of the skill card.

An adult's big shove is always more damaging than a child's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Let's be pragmatic: if you don't have a solid foundation, no matter how sophisticated your moves are, they're useless. Snap!

The one-star green card shattered in my mind.

Countless green lights fell and were absorbed by the skill card, and the experience point increased rapidly until it stopped at halfway.

"Randall's Body Building Method (Exercise Card)"

"Quality: White 1-star (upgradeable)"

Experience: 50/100

'This way, my energy isn't wasted.'

Wang Xi was quite satisfied.

"Take the time to use it to train your body. I believe it will be able to upgrade to a higher star soon. I don't know what the effect of the two-star training method is..."

...

...

The sun sets and the sky is filled with red clouds.

At the edge of the forest, two weary figures emerged. Across the fields and crisscrossing dusty roads, a peaceful town loomed in the distance.

Wang Xi and Godalil finally arrived in Buchanan before sunset.

The two of them had a smooth journey and encountered no unexpected situations. Even the pursuers from Randall, who they had been on guard against, were nowhere to be seen.

I don’t know if it was because they didn’t take the main road, or because Count Barto had Alzheimer’s and was slow to react, but in any case, nothing happened.

"Gai, what do we do next?"

The girl looked tired and asked Wang Xi.

"Stay in this small town for one night and get some rest. Tomorrow I'll ask around and see if there are any caravans heading to the capital, and try to find a way to get on board."

Wang Xi looked at the town in the distance and said.

Godalil nodded and hummed obediently.

When she decided to catch up with Guy and stab the Earl's guard for him, it meant that she had abandoned everything of Randall.

Gai seemed to have become her only support.

Wang Xi took the girl, crossed the path between the fields and entered the town.

There was only one guard at the gate of the fence. He was wearing old studded leather armor, a pot helmet on his head, and holding a spear in his hand. He was leaning against the wall and taking a nap, looking quite shabby.

This is also natural.

Buchanan is just a small trading town under the rule of a viscount, and cannot be compared with Randall.

The guard did not interrogate Wang Xi, but just looked at the two of them a few more times and then continued to doze off.

Though Wang Xi appeared dusty and weary, he possessed a remarkable appearance. He wore fine leather armor, a sword slung over his shoulder, and a crossbow strapped to his back. The black and gold silk lining that peeked through his garments also hinted at his status as a young noble.

The guards didn't want to cause trouble and simply ignored it.

It was only a few silver coins a week, why bother meddling in other people's business? He had already done his duty well by not going to the tavern to drink and gamble on dice.

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

None of the excuses I had in mind were used.

But it’s okay, it saves trouble.

He took Godalil and walked straight into the town.

Each territory and settlement generally has a curfew, but it does not completely prohibit night travel. You just have to carry a torch and you will be questioned by patrolling guards, which is very troublesome.

This is what Godalil told him halfway.

So Wang Xi wanted to find a hotel to stay in as soon as possible.

As they walked into the town, they saw groups of civilians wearing tunics or long-sleeved skirts crossing paths with them, heading out of the town.

These are the lower class people in Buchanan. They do not have houses in the town and generally live outside the town near the fields.

During the day, they go to the town to do work or sell fruits and vegetables, and return home in the evening.

Wang Xi glanced at them.

Then he whispered something to Godalil.

The girl nodded obediently, ran over to find a gentle-looking peasant woman, and asked her for directions.

Coming back, Godalier whispered:

"There are a dozen hotels in Buchanan. The closest one to us is on the street ahead. It's called the Three Trouts."

"Well, let's go."

Wang Xi smiled and took a step forward.

Not long after.

The two arrived at the "Three Trout Inn".

This hotel is located on the roadside. The main body is a three-story stone and wood house with a courtyard built with wooden boards on the outside.

It was getting dark. Simple tables had been set up under the sheds in the courtyard, and many guests were eating, drinking, and chatting in the light of torches. Some were gathered in groups, as if gambling with dice, and the sounds of exclamations, annoyance, and laughter were endless.

Wang Xi looked up at the wooden sign with three trouts painted on it, and walked in with Godalil.

He beckoned over a young maid wearing an apron and carrying trays, and had a brief conversation with her.

Finally, I spent two silver coins to book two rooms on the second floor, which included a sumptuous dinner and bathing service.

In fact, Wang Xi was planning to save some money, but after all, he had Godalil with him, and he couldn't go to the attic and share a bunk with a bunch of rough guys and drunkards.

He was also a little tired and didn't want to be disturbed by snoring and foot odor. It was worth spending a little more money.

The night is getting darker.

After dinner and taking a shower, Wang Xi felt refreshed.

Although the bread and vegetable soup and the grilled steak lacking seasoning were hard to describe, the bathing maid's technique was very good and restored some of his energy.

In the cramped room, only about 7 or 8 square meters, a few candles were lit, their faint flames dispelling the darkness.

Wang Xi sat cross-legged on the bed and silently activated the "Randall Body Building Method".

hum-

There was a flash of white light.

"Ho!"

Wang Xi's expression changed slightly and he groaned.

Suddenly, I felt pain in my body!
It felt like someone was hitting his limbs, chest, and back with a club. His flesh burned with pain, and his bones howled.

Puff puff!
An invisible force was hammering his body, and bursts of muffled sounds were heard.

Wang Xi gritted his teeth and endured the pain, sweat pouring down his face.
