The Protagonist Is Being Awfully Quiet, So They Must Be Up to Something [Card Crafting]

Chi Yunsu transmigrates to a spacefaring age centered around cards, becoming one of the people barely scraping by in the slums. As she watches others fight over scraps in the garbage heaps, Chi Yunsu, a researcher who came from the depths of the mountains, picks up a book everyone else has ignored: The Basics of Card-Making. She just has to start over from scratch. Having never received any formal card-making training, Chi Yunsu decides to start with the simplest thing: repairing cards. The card circuit isn’t in the book. Sitting at her roadside stall, Chi Yunsu recalls the principles of modern mechanics and tinkers with it. As long as it works, that’s good enough. She can’t find the materials needed to repair a card. While cooking, Chi Yunsu thinks through the mathematical theory and redesigns the card’s structure. Yep, as long as it works. Later, once she finally gets onto StarNet, Chi Yunsu reads the basics of card-making posted there. A card-maker can only focus and commune with the divine in a quiet, comfortable environment. Using high-end materials is essential to reaching the highest divine plane. They’re absolutely indispensable if you want to make the ultimate golden card. In a private room at a bustling auction house, Chi Yunsu has just casually used a homemade flow guide to draw a golden card. She looks at it and falls silent for a moment. So what on earth is hers?! It seems she really is pretty good at this. Chi Yunsu rubs her chin, feeling as though she’s found the gateway to the peak of success. It’s finally my turn to be awesome in this world! Full of ambition, Chi Yunsu sets to work, and the people of the interstellar era find their unchanging lives starting to feel a little different. Those impossibly expensive spatial pockets are suddenly within reach if you scrimp and save. People are no longer stuck on the planet where they were born. The once outrageously expensive dream of interstellar travel is becoming a reality. Even those who could only eke out a living in the Black Harbor are finding their way back into an orderly society. Everything seems to be changing, little by little, without anyone noticing. And the person responsible for all this, Chi Yunsu, who has practicality engraved into her DNA: “…” What a damn instinct. Why fight and kill when you can shoot fireworks into the sky? Note: The last line came from a screenshot I saw in a group chat. I don’t know the original source, but it said: Invent gunpowder.

Please add it to your library! After returning from a world of cultivation, Li Yunxian finds a System suddenly in her hands. Li Yunxian: There’s an old saying that whatever you lack, you should put in your name. It never lies. After activating the System, Li Yunxian discovers it’s just a full-dive online game System, so she can play games whenever and wherever she wants. Earth’s spiritual energy is too thin for her to cultivate, but in this full-dive game focused on supernatural abilities… there don’t seem to be any restrictions, and she can even use what she learns to improve herself in real life? Bring on all kinds of magical artifacts, talismans, cultivation techniques, and pills! I’m going to rule this game world! Li Yunxian enjoys her ordinary student life while dominating the game world alongside friends from who-knows-which universe. But before long, news spreads around the school: they’re finally going to hold a psychic aptitude test. Classmate: If you pass, you can skip ten years of hard work and land a secure government job without breaking a sweat. Li Yunxian: What? As her classmates discuss things like [psychic power], [physique], and [supernatural abilities], question marks start popping up in Li Yunxian’s head. Li Yunxian: Isn’t that all stuff from my online game? Li Yunxian’s test results cause a sensation across the school. She joins a special department and rapidly rises through the ranks. Then her supervisor says, “Yunxian, I’ve secured you a chance to study on another planet. Our Earth is still very weak, so be careful out there.” There are other planets too? (Pupils dilate in shock.) Li Yunxian enters this new planet on high alert, only to see a series of familiar faces. Li Yunxian: ??? What? Why are they all my online friends? Everyone else: ??? Holy crap, boss! Only later does Li Yunxian realize that her lousy System was actually connected to an interstellar supernatural combat system. The enemies she truly has to face are the aliens of the universe. Li Yunxian (shocked): How can you call them aliens? Show some respect. They’re precious natural treasures! - Theme: Never give in to hardship. Keep a positive attitude, study hard, and work toward your goals.
