The Card Cultivation System

CCS-134

Taps!

Heiliao pitched his foot into the space behind the crack. To be honest, the place is less precise when it is called space. It was a place where several rooms gathered. Heiliao said it was Simulocus. It means a gathered space.

The three of them arrived at a piece of land. The ground was quite large and they could not see the end of it. There was a shared pile of spatial stones on the ground. And around that land, there were many spatial gaps leading to various places. The gap they went through was only one of the many gaps that existed.

After being sure the land around them was safe, Xika got down from Heiliao. They looked around carefully. As Lang Hu said, there was no sign of life in that place. But they do not lower their vigilance.

They glanced at each other before taking a step further, investigating the place. Heiliao approached on one of the spatial stone piles and Shu Mang was not wrong. That thing was indeed a spatial stone. The quality is pretty good, probably at the intermediate level. He wondered if he could find a high level in this place.

Xika approached one of the gaps. He peeked at what was behind the gap, but the sight was not very clear. The gap showed faint ripples and Xika instantly retreated. He stopped when there was a distance of ten meters between himself and that gap. And not long after, the crack exploded.

THE DUAR!!

Heiliao immediately turned his head while Huo Bing who was daritadi with Xika pecked at him.

"What are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything. The crack exploded on its own."

"Sshhhh." said Heiliao. He was afraid that their commotion would be heard by the inhabitants of this place. That is if there is.

In the place where the crack that had exploded was previously located, lay several piles of spatial stones.

"What is.......how are spatial stones formed?" ask Xika quietly.

"More or less so."

They continue the journey. Several times Xika tried to see what was behind the other gap, but to no avail. Only the blurry view is visible. They had been walking for fifteen minutes but had not encountered the slightest sign of life.

Heiliao twitched his nose several times trying to smell the smell of life, but to no avail. Along the way, there were countless piles of spatial stones as if they were not precious objects. And Heiliao found some high-tier spatial stones. But he didn't touch them at all.

He still did not know what was in this place, so it was better to be careful and not touch carelessly. They keep walking. It had been more than an hour since they first set foot in this place. They had already traveled several kilos but still could not see the end of this place.

Xika asked Heiliao to speed up her pace while Huo Bing watched her surroundings closely. The bird also spread its qi to find out if there are living creatures in this place. As they grew bored and lowered their vigilance, Xika saw something.

And they are back on guard. Huo Bing flapped his wings and examined the strange object. It looked like a seven-meter stone monument and was roughly the same height as Xika's head. Huo Bing circled the stone monument carefully. His eyes stared intently at the stone monument, trying to find awkwardness, oddity, or something that was not right.

But he didn't find it. So he went back to Heiliao and Xika and told them what he saw. The stone stood in the middle of the road without any carvings or ornaments. In addition, there was something shaped like a card near the stone monument.

Xika's curiosity was piqued when she heard that there was a card in that place. Heiliao reminded him to be careful. Xika simply replied with a potluck and asked Heiliao to rush towards the stone monument. Sighing, the wolf walked towards the stone monument that Huo Bing said.

And indeed as the bird said, there was a pile of objects that looked like cards. It looks like a card, but it doesn't. It was as if it was made of stone with a strange pattern. The pattern he had seen during the journey to this stone monument.

The patterns present in each spatial stone. Xika turned her head and looked at Heiliao. The wolf also knew that the cards were made of spatial stone. He gave a friend who asked Xika to be careful. And Xika walked forward taking the card.

"Xika! Be carefull! Don't rush. We better observe this place first" Heiliao said half in a whisper. Huo Bing also looked at the child anxiously, but it was too late to stop Xika from picking up the cards.

Grep's!

Xika managed to grasp the card. He looked at the worried look on Heiliao and Huo Bing's faces, then turned his head around, trying to see what happened after he took the card. And. The place remains the same as before. There was no vibration, no attack, and no ground being split.

Srak! Drr! Drrrt!

Well, not really. Something's going on. The top of the stone monument moved and now turned into something that resembled a table. And the card that Xika was holding floated by itself, also shuffled.

The shocked Heiliao saw that it wanted to fire an attack on the card, but Xika raised her hand and flicked the wolf. Xika walked over until she was in front of the table. He waited for a while before the floating card stopped shuffling itself.

The cards split themselves into four stacks. Then shut up as if asking someone to take them. So Xika took one of the stacks and looked at its contents which was no different from the cards she used to play. But the pile was still silent even though Xika had already taken one of them.

"Come on." take Xika to Heiliao and Huo Bing.

Huo Bing walk first. He took out a card containing the number four curly. Next Heiliao, new Xika, and back again to that self-moving pile. After Xika took out the King card, Huo Bing did not walk anymore, nor did Heiliao and the card stack.

Since the stack of cards did not move, Xika assumed that the stack was also cus just like Huo Bing and Heiliao. So he walked again. This time he took out two pairs of cards that had the number five on them. The stack of cards also issued two pairs of cards.

Three minutes passed and now in Xika's hand there are three cards left, while the card stack is still four. It's Xika's turn. It has two pairs of Queen cards and 10 cards. He chose to take out a pair of his queen and wait for what was issued the deck of cards.

The card moves back. He turned himself around and displayed a pair of Kings. Xika clicked her tongue looking at the move made. Huo Bing chose the cus while Heiliao took out a pair of As. Xika only has one card so he also cus.

And the remaining two cards move themselves to the center of the table. Then reverse yourself until you see a pair of cards that say two. Xika widened her eyes. They lose. More precisely Huo Bing who lost because it has the greatest value in his hand while the stack of cards that is not a stack anymore wins.

SRAT! WHUSHES!

Luminous ropes appeared and bound Huo Bing, then dragged him all the way to the front of one of the gaps. Huo Bing tried to free himself, but to no avail. He tried to return to Xika's dantian, but the ropes held him back.

"Damn it! What-what's this?!" shout Xika.

But there's no answer. Heiliao stared at the pile of cards on the table, then spoke.

"I think it's because of this game."

Xika also looked at the cards on the table and realized that Huo Bing was the one who lost. Then the cards again move and shuffle themselves. This time the cards were split into three stacks with one remaining unused card.

Xika and Heiliao looked at each other, then nodded. They continue the game. Because it was the Card that won, so he went first. They played for ten minutes before Heiliao lost. The same rope that bound Huo Bing appeared again and bound Heiliao. The rope also led him towards one of the gaps and stopped right in front of him.

The wolf tried to fight for a while, then stopped after realizing that the resistance was futile. He looked at Xika who was also staring at him. Now it all depends on Xika. The cards on the table are back in motion. He shuffled, then split himself into two stacks this time.

Since the cards obtained were more, Xika needed more time to arrange them. But when he just compiled half his cards, the Card has issued the first step. Xika arranged her cards carefully.

Then he took the next step with great consideration. The game lasted longer this time because Xika thought about each step carefully. Throughout the game, Xika often cus. He only took out a few cards before returning.

Now the Card has five cards while Xika still has more than half of his cards. The card moves back. It was fortunate that he did not take out all his cards at once, otherwise Xika would have lost. Xika replied to that move with a King card.

And the situation turned around. Now Xika keeps going while Si Kartu is constantly Cus, or skip his turn. The card in Xika's hand is seven, while Si Kartu is four. It's Xika's turn. And he was faced with a difficult choice.

What card should he take out? If he missteps, the three of them can be thrown into the cracks. He thought hard for a few minutes. And finally he pulled out five cards at once. Of course, the Card cannot fight because the card is only four.

Then Xika took out the remaining two cards in her hand and she won. In that instant, the ropes that bound Huo Bing and Heiliao disappeared and they moved again. Xika sighed in relief. Fortunately, he made the right move.

If he took out two cards first, instead of five, they could have been thrown into another hole by now. Heiliao and Huo Bing approached Xika. No one spoke between them, but they could see the relief in each other's eyes.

THE SNACK! THE SNACK!

The table that was previously in the form of a stone monument moved back. His form again formed a stone monument, but this time there was a hole in the middle of it. And the shape of the hole resembles a card. Xika frowned thinking for a while.

Then he took the cards he had played before. But when his hand just touched, the card disappeared into thousands of particles. Likewise with other cards so that there is no left at all. Xika is confused. The hole in the stone monument had a clear meaning.

He should put a card there. But what card? At first he suspected the card he was playing but the card disappeared into particles. It has many cards, but which one is the appropriate one? Then something flashed through his head.

He put his hand into his robe in a bag. He found what he was looking for and took it out. In his hand, there was an old deck of cards without a deck. The same card that had become his weapon as well as his protector.

He did not think what cards he should put. He just took the top card and put it right in the hole. Then the card lit up along with the entire stone monument. The other cards in Xika's hand also lit up.

But that was not what concern Huo Bing and Heiliao. Xika's forehead also shone. The boy didn't seem to notice it, but it was enough to make them worry.

The cards in Xika's hand drifted and shone increasingly brighter until the three had to close their eyes.

SRIINGGG!!!  WHUSHES!
