IMUC-Chapter 41: Card Preparation

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


Late at night, inside the assigned officer’s quarters at the base…

Kyle, who had just finished showering, was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. He leaned back on the bed, half lying down with his eyes closed, replenishing his energy.

Of course, he wasn’t pondering about the meaning of life or anything like that. He had entered the Card Space with his thoughts. Within the boundless white space, there were significant changes compared to nearly two months ago.

Previously, all the cards were mixed together, swirling endlessly like a hurricane. But now, after Kyle’s organizing efforts, the Ability, Item, and Lifeform cards were separated into different Storage Card Areas.

Apart from the three main card categories, there were also two additional areas: Emergency Card Area and Material Card Area.

The Emergency Card Area stored cards that would be needed directly in case of emergencies, such as the Evil Dog, Energy Laser Gun, Emergency Kit, and the Blue Eagle.

The Emergency Card Area didn’t contain a single Ability Card since Ability Cards could be directly used as long as they existed within the Card Space. Unlike Item and Lifeform Cards, they didn’t need to be materialized before use.

The Material Card Area stored useless Item Cards, which served as “materials” for Card Tributing. Kyle’s purpose for entering the Card Space with his thoughts was to check the Material Card Area.

After more than a month of plundering and looting from several conquered German bases, most of the spoils were stored in the Material Card Area.

At this moment, nearly a hundred Blue Item Cards and thousands of green Item Cards were densely piled up in the Material Card Area, giving a sense of accomplishment when seen.

“After storing these materials for so long, it’s time to try my luck,” Kyle took a deep breath as he suppressed his usual anxious feelings when drawing cards.

With the complete collapse of Germany’s numerous energy factories and the imminent final battle against Red Skull, continuing to store cards at this point wouldn’t serve many purposes.

Kyle began to count the number of Item Cards in the Material Card Area and quickly arrived at an accurate number.

Green Item Cards: 1,020.

Blue Item Cards: 86.

Converted into Card Tributing opportunities, the Green-Quality Cards would allow for exactly 102 draws, while the Blue-Quality Cards could only be drawn 8 times.

“Well, let’s start with the Green-Quality ones,” Kyle waved his hand, directly selecting the 1,020 green Item Cards floating in the Material Card Area.

Selection is successful. Card Tributing—

102 consecutive draws!

“You sacrificed 【German Elite Helmet】×26, 【German Combat Uniform】×11, 【Old Sniper Rifle】×6… 【Scouting Equipment】×3, 【Energy Magazine】×89… 【High-Explosive Grenade】×22, 【Anti-Infantry Jumping Mine】×9…”

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Life Increase】×11, 【True Two-Saber Style Mastery】, 【Radio】, 【Rabbit】, 【Shark】, 【Bronze Sword】, 【Hindi Mastery】…”

A complete set of green-quality new cards emitted a radiant green light, leaving Kyle both impressed and disappointed.

Damn it, this was a 102-card draw! Is it really impossible to get a low-probability blue-quality card?

And most of these hundred cards were useless cards in chaos, except for some unconventional technological Item Cards that could be handed over to Howard for research. There weren’t many cards that could be useful.

“I got 11 Rare Green 【Life Increase】 cards. Is this good luck or bad luck?” Kyle smiled with a helpless expression on his face as he looked at the Life Increase cards.

【Life Increase】: Increases the user’s natural lifespan by three years.

Rare Green Ability Card.

Current Status: Can be used on others.

The 【Life Increase】 Card had a more significant effect compared to the White Ability Cards, extending the lifespan from three months to three years.

However, Kyle was currently a Super Soldier with a physique that had already reached a certain level of aging and natural lifespan. The 【Life Increase】 Card wouldn’t have a significant impact on his body.

“Let’s put it aside. It will definitely come in handy in the future,” Kyle retracted his contemplation and focused his gaze on the only other Green Rare Card besides 【Life Increase】.

【True Two-Saber Style Mastery】: Mastery of the almost perfect dual-wielding sword technique in the two-saber style. Rare Green Ability Card.

“Passing grade at best,” Kyle shrugged helplessly. After all, he didn’t have high hopes for drawing green-quality cards.

Tonight’s focus was on the next eight blue-quality card draws.

“Let’s do it. I’m starting to lose my patience with these draws,” Kyle took a deep breath, suppressing his anxious mood, and slowly selected ten Blue Item Cards.

Card Tributing, commence!

“You sacrificed 【Cube Fragment】 × 10.”

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Life Increase】.”

Damn it, another 【Life Increase】 Card?

Upon hearing the card extraction message, Kyle almost burst into profanity. What was going on with tonight’s draws? Was the Extracting Card System afraid he would die too quickly?

【Life Increase】: Increases the user’s natural lifespan by 30 Years. Rare Blue Ability Card.

Current Status: Can be used on others.

A straightforward and powerful Ability Card that directly increased the natural lifespan by thirty years.

“Thirty years?” Kyle was a bit surprised. He thought the Rare Blue 【Life Increase】 would only add ten years at most, but he didn’t expect it to be this much.

At this rate, as long as he did not die accidentally, he could live until the destruction of the Earth.

Kyle wryly smiled and continued with the Card Tributing process.

Although the lifespan was already quite substantial, he hoped for something more substantial!

In Kyle’s silent plea, ten Blue Item Cards disappeared once again as offerings.

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained a 【Submarine】.”

Is this useful or useless?

Kyle looked somewhat saddened, but he didn’t pause and continued drawing cards.

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Disguise Voice Changer】.”

God, what use do I have for this voice changer? Next draw!

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Life Increase】.”

Very well, tonight is all about boosting my lifespan. Keep drawing!

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Conan’s Glasses】.”

Kyle was speechless for a moment. What the hell was this unexpected item? Draw one more time!

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Immortal Bean】.”

Immortal Bean?

Kyle immediately became spirited and quickly took the newly drawn Blue Card.

【Immortal Bean】: Beans grown by the Cat Sage. When consumed, no matter how severe the injury, even if near death, the body can recover to its peak condition. Blue Item Card.

“This is not bad. It’s something that can save my life,” Kyle revealed a faint smile and immediately allocated the 【Immortal Bean】 to the emergency card area.

Finally, it wasn’t in vain to draw cards tonight.

With two remaining chances to draw blue-quality cards, Kyle waved his hand and decisively selected the remaining twenty Blue Item Cards.

“You sacrificed 【Cube Fragment】 × 20.”

At least let me draw one more skill-type Blue Card, right?

As soon as Kyle had this thought, two new cards gradually appeared in the Card Space.

One card was a deep blue translucent color, while the other card was an unseen purple! The radiant light emitted by these two cards instantly became the focus of the Card Space.

“Extraction Succeed. Congratulations, you’ve obtained 【Prototype Venom Symbiote】, 【Gigantic Primordial Dragon-Turtle】.”
