Cards: The Beggar Card Is My First Choice

Li Shi'an transmigrates into a parallel world where cards are the source of power. Here, all kinds of alien dimensions invade, the literary path has fallen into obscurity, and supernatural abilities reign supreme. People awaken as cardmasters using fragments of Origin Cards left behind by an ancient civilization. They summon heroic spirits, monsters, or creations with cards to fight. But the world's history was completely severed by a great cataclysm. Aside from the most basic card rank classifications, no one knows the stories behind the figures on Heroic Spirit Cards. As a newly awakened cardmaster, Li Shi'an stands before the beginner card pool, with his mentor impatiently urging him on. “Make it quick. Getting a militiaman or an apprentice from a green card would already be pretty good.” Someone draws a trainee swordsman card and raises their brows smugly. Someone else gets a healing apprentice card and relaxes with a smile. Only Li Shi'an... He tries searching a name in the card pool. For their first awakening, they can either draw a random green card or choose a specific white card. Li Shi'an taps confirm. A card appears in his hand. When he sees the disheveled beggar pictured on it, his heart races. “You picked a beggar card? Have you just given up?” “White cards are useless enough already, and you chose the most useless profession card?” His mentor pushes up his glasses, disappointment flashing in his eyes. “A cardmaster's dignity lies in making a contract with the strong. This choice of yours...” One of his rivals even sneers, “Want me to throw in a begging bowl card too? Then you won't have wasted your awakening.” But Li Shi'an grips the card tightly, his knuckles turning white. He lowers his head and turns the card over. [Card Name]: Beggar · Zhu Yuanzhang (Current Rank: White Card · Not Yet Awakened) [Card Type]: Character Card · Growth Type [Basic Ability]: ... [Hidden Trait]: 1. Imperial Aura... Coming soon: My Golden Finger Didn't Arrive Until I Was Max Level Nan Shu survived for two whole centuries in a world overrun by monsters. From a rookie who got chased by zombies trying to chew on his pant leg to a max-level powerhouse who could slice an abyssal rift in half with one sword, he made it through with a tough hide and a tiny bit of luck. Now the beast tide has receded, civilization is being rebuilt from the ruins, and even the snot-nosed kid who used to chase him shouting, “Big brother, help!” has become the base's commander-in-chief. As for Nan Shu, he's sitting on a floating island at the top of the world, brewing goji berry tea It's time to retire. Until a “ding” sounds in his head: [Hero-Raising System successfully bound! Beginner mission issued: Go to “Morning Glow Metro Station, Exit A” and defeat the Corrupted One Heris (0/1).] Nan Shu's hand trembles, and the teapot shatters on the floor. Not only is this stupid System two hundred years late... It wants him to go fight a Corrupted One at a place that was blown up and turned into a radioactive crater long ago?! The System announces with great enthusiasm: “Dear Host! Defeat the Corrupted One Heris to unlock the main quest~” “Starter pack includes: Healing Bandages ×3, Compressed Biscuits ×1, Bottled Water ×1!” Nan Shu: “The dragon meat in my storehouse is already going moldy.” System: “...T^T” Nan Shu: “And Heris, Heris... If my incredible memory serves me, isn't this guy a Level Two Corrupted One?” System: “Mm~” Nan Shu smiles coldly. “Level Two Corrupted Ones live for ten years.” Theme: Learn world history
