Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"Da da da, da da da"

A hazy vortex suddenly appeared behind Zhang Fei, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves pounding the ground seemed to strike the hearts of the group.

The next instant, the others saw a pure white horse with its four hooves treading on black ink leap out of the vortex and land steadily beside Zhang Fei. It affectionately nuzzled against Zhang Fei, who raised his hand to stroke its mane. Then, he mounted the black horse, becoming one with it. His aura surged several times over, his combat power increased, and he gained the ability to pierce armor, his momentum unstoppable.

At this moment, Zhang Fei's strength was already infinitely close to the edge of a true blue card. Yan Shuangling compared Ya Dao with Zhang Fei in her mind, shook her head, and said it was a 40/60 split.

"Ya Dao."

Upon hearing her voice, Yato held his sword in one hand, the tip of the Tang sword aimed at his heart, and plunged it down fiercely to the astonishment of the crowd.

"Is this a way of apologizing for feeling like he can't win, resorting to self-harm?" Chu Ling murmured, a newly lit cigar dangling from her lips.

The special ability [Black and White Dual Blades] is activated!

Black mist emanated from Ya Dao's wound, gradually enveloping him. "Whoosh!" A dazzling blade of light pierced through the black mist, revealing a brand new Ya Dao before their eyes.

He held a long sword in each hand, the left sword burning with eerie black flames, and the right sword radiating a bone-chilling cold. His clothes also transformed into a black and white outfit, making his demeanor even more cold and aloof.

"Why do you all have to do such cool transformations? What am I supposed to do?"

Ye Suxuan, however, did not change much. Gu Ye wondered if it was just his imagination, but her broadsword seemed to have become a little longer.

Zhang Fei and Ya Dao's transformation happened in the blink of an eye. [Gluttonous Ghost] stared, its bulging, thin eyes wondering when they had changed their attire. It shook its head, deciding to ignore such things—too much of a brain drain. A smirk played on its lips as it defiantly beckoned with its finger, as if to say:

"Come on, you noobs."

Seeing this, Chu Ling couldn't stand still any longer. She firmly braced the Gatling gun with both hands, pointed the muzzle at [Gluttonous Ghost], and roared furiously, "Get the hell out of here!"

The Six-Syllable Great Illumination Mantra

"Let your Grandpa Chu perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife."

Chu Ling's Gatling gun barrel burst out with a blinding white light, and a series of bullets carrying Buddhist characters with Sanskrit chants were fired at it.

At the same time, Zhang Fei and Ya Dao launched their attacks simultaneously. Zhang Fei, who could take on a thousand men, wielded his eighteen-foot spear and thrust it straight at vital points, while Ya Dao swung both swords at once, the intertwined blade light of ice and fire tearing through the air.

The Gluttonous Demon was no match for the two of them, and the special attack damage from Chu Ling's bullets caused it great pain.

The Six-Syllable Great Illumination Mantra, as a Buddhist-style attack method, deals significantly increased damage to monsters of the strange type.

"Roar~"

[Gluttonous Demon] felt the pain in his body and struggled to fight back, but was always suppressed by Zhang Fei and Ya Dao.

Suddenly, the shadow of the Gluttonous Demon broke free from behind it and attacked Zhang Fei, its fist whistling as it hurtled towards him! Zhang Fei's pupils contracted sharply, and his black horse, understanding the attack, leaped up and barely dodged the shadow's sudden attack.

[Gluttonous Demon] took advantage of the situation to repel Ya Dao, and opened its mouth to utter a hoarse sound:

"Humans, you forced me to this."

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a dark vortex appeared in the middle of its shadow's belly, from which the corpses of the [Blood Bat Mechs] were spat out.

Upon seeing the corpses, Gu Ye frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't these the corpses of the monsters we killed outside?"

A miraculous scene unfolded: the Gluttonous Monster opened its massive mouth and began to devour the corpse, its body visibly swelling.

Yan Shuangling, whose expression rarely changed, shouted anxiously, "Stop it!"

Zhang Fei and Ya Dao immediately stepped forward to stop them, but how could the shadow that had just vomited up the corpse let them succeed? It appeared in front of them to intercept them.

"And me too!"

Ye Suxuan leaped high into the air and slammed his broadsword into the shoulder of the Gluttonous Demon. With a "thud," the blade penetrated deep into the flesh and bone.

Interrupted from its devouring, the severely injured [Gluttonous Ghost] took a few steps back, and its injuries healed in the mere seconds before everyone's eyes.

Chu Ling was somewhat astonished. This recovery speed was even faster than his recovery from Sage Mode. The current [Gluttonous Ghost] was no longer the skinny creature it had been before. It had transformed into a very strong physique with firm and elastic muscles.

Gu Ye then shouted, "Create an opportunity for Zhang Fei!"

Zhang Fei gave the shadow no chance to linger, and launched a fierce attack on the [Gluttonous Ghost]. The veins on his hand holding the eighteen-foot spear bulged as he unleashed the skills [Roar I], [Roar II], and [Roar III] in succession.

With the special ability activated, his combat power instantly soared to its peak, even causing the surrounding air to become slightly hot.

On the other side, Ya Dao was equally decisive. Crimson flames suddenly erupted around him as he activated the [Flame Body] skill. His body transformed into flames, directly piercing through the shadow's obstruction and heading straight for [Gluttonous Ghost].

Ye Suxuan focused his mind and channeled his spiritual energy, the spiritual light from his fingertips flowing into the greatsword, the blade wrapped in blue-purple lightning, crackling and exploding with electricity.

She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly with both hands, and the propulsion device on her armor suddenly spewed out scorching flames. Using this force, she charged towards the [Gluttonous Demon] like an arrow released from a bow, her thunderous greatsword leaving a long trail of lightning.

[Gluttonous Ghost] looked at the two people rushing ahead. It was too late to recall its shadow for help. It let out a piercing roar and suddenly opened its mouth to spew out a thick green mist. The mist floated towards the two people like a living thing.

The two couldn't dodge in time and passed directly through the green gas. Yan Shuangling kept a close eye on the battle. Seeing that they were alright, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but her heart jumped into her throat again.

The Gluttonous Ghost dodged both of their attacks. Its speed far exceeded their expectations, and Chu Ling's bullets couldn't keep up with it at all.

Just as they were preparing to continue their attack, they suddenly felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground with two thuds.

"Oh no!" Yan Shuangling's exclamation had barely faded when [Gluttonous Ghost] turned around and returned with a sinister smile, clearly intending to deal with the two people lying on the ground first.

At the critical moment, an invisible force of restraint appeared around it. Without any dodging skills, it was completely helpless against Zhang Fei's skill, which instantly froze it in place.

Zhang Fei teleported in front of it, and the pressure of his peak combat power made the [Gluttonous Demon] tremble uncontrollably.

Under the shadow's dull gaze, Zhang Fei raised his hand, the blood energy on his eighteen-foot spear condensed and did not dissipate, and with a simple and neat strike, he completely destroyed it, and the shadow also disappeared without a trace.

"Ding!"

A metal token fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Gu Ye walked over, picked it up, and couldn't see anything unusual about it. He tossed it to Yan Shuangling, who was walking over, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Gu Ye was more interested in the corpse of the [Gluttonous Ghost] in front of him. He wondered what special card-making materials it produced. He explored the corpse for a while, took out two card-making materials, and nodded in satisfaction after seeing their effects.

Chu Ling helped Ye Suxuan to the front, and said with lingering fear, "We almost capsized in a ditch. This hidden leader is really hard to kill."

"The rewards are quite generous." Gu Ye handed over two card-making materials.

Upon seeing the two card-making materials, the three of them showed expressions of surprise. Yan Shuangling said matter-of-factly, "The hidden boss this time is too strong, so it's no wonder that the card-making materials are so effective."

Ye Suxuan sighed, "The 'Gluttonous Deception' skill must have other abilities. If it weren't for Zhang Fei's restraint, the battle wouldn't have been so easy."

The four of them were basically unharmed, except for Ye Suxuan, who still had some muscle weakness. Ye Suxuan said with some anticipation:

"Let's go! Let's head to the treasure room."

Having just become card masters, they couldn't hide their curiosity and anticipation as they visited the treasure room for the first time.

The group arrived outside the safe house castle. Gu Ye knew from their understanding that the safe houses in each domain were different. Yan Shuangling took out her domain token, injected spiritual energy into it, and the domain token disappeared into the void. A gate of light appeared in front of them.

The four exchanged a glance and stepped into the portal together. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a void, surrounded by ten glittering "stars." Yan Shuangling and the other two, with their backgrounds, knew that these stars were the manifestations of the treasures within the treasure chamber.

Gu Ye didn't care much about these treasures; as long as he had money, his [Refining] talent could give him countless treasures.

After each of the four had chosen their favorite treasures, they headed towards the exit of the Card Domain. The journey was smooth, and they soon emerged from the Card Domain. Once outside, they joined the queue at the back of the line. Gu Ye even spotted Yang Haochen, Li Jie, and the others, who had fully recovered.

Beside the technological gate at the entrance to the Card Domain stood several Card Masters dressed in black uniforms, holding a strangely shaped instrument in their hands, guarding the area with serious expressions.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said:

"We are under the jurisdiction of the town's epidemic prevention and control department. According to the 'Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Return to the Town,' we now need to conduct mandatory physical examinations on you."

"Please cooperate with our work." After saying that, the card maker behind him began to carry out the testing.

Although it was also Gu Ye and his group's first time experiencing this, they were able to cooperate very skillfully. One by one, the students passed through the detection gate, and the sounds of them passing through echoed outside the gate of the card domain.

"Corruption value 20, passed."

"Corruption value 17, passed."

"Corruption value 25, passed."

.......

Students who failed were taken away on the spot by the town's card master.

"Captain, being a card master is a really dangerous profession!"

The middle-aged man, who was also the team leader, remarked with emotion:

"Yes, for thousands of years since the arrival of the Domain River, the corrupting factor has always existed, and none of the major federations have been able to solve it."

"Whether a card master enters a card realm, gets injured, or even breathes, the amount of corrupting factors within their body will increase."

"Captain, card makers are the most susceptible to corruption. The materials used for card making contain a lot of corruption factors. In just this month, two card makers have been corrupted into monsters because of forced card making."

The middle-aged man shook his head and slowly said, "Both are ordinary card makers, just trying to survive."

The corruption value test was being conducted on Gu Ye for the first time. This time, Gu Ye's corruption value was 21. If the corruption value is higher than 30, the card master will be at risk of turning into a monster that is neither human nor evil. It can only be said that the higher the corruption value, the easier it is to become corrupted.

After the testing was completed, the students dispersed, capital continued to take over the card domain, card masters returned, and the technology gate transformed into a barrier that once again enveloped several card domains. A rough test was conducted on the card masters entering and leaving, and the [Blood Demon Mechanical Forest] card domain returned to its former liveliness.
