Interstellar Card Master: A Flowing River Melody Shatters the Starry Sky from the Start

In the Interstellar Card Era, Chinese civilization has become synonymous with “trash cards.” During her graduation exam, Lin Zheng’s ancestral guqin card produces nothing but noise, and she is branded an F-rank trash-card master. At her breaking point, the ancient melody “Flowing Water” rings in her mind, unlocking the “Civilization’s Spark” System.

She uses her guqin to evoke the artistic conception of wind through pines, poetry cards to cut down mechs, and solar-term cards to save desolate planets. The financial elite scoff: “That inefficient deck should have been eliminated long ago!”

Until the insect race invades and the Federation fleet is routed. Lin Zheng’s deck unfurls the phantom of the Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles. Guided by the sound of her guqin, countless cards join together to form a grand array. “Harmony without uniformity,” she says, fingers brushing the strings. “That is the power of civilization.”
