Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 91 The Cunning Blue [Two-Headed Raven]

Zhang Qingzhe nodded silently.

He realized once again that the concept of "medicine" in this world was completely different from that in his previous life.

The surgeries and medications in my previous life were mainly for organic lesions.

In this world, physical injuries are easy to treat; a few magic cards are all you need.

This kind of intangible, intangible "illness" at the level of the soul is the real intractable disease.

As they were parting, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly remembered something:

"Senior, that person with those peculiar eyes, like a chameleon...did you catch them?"

Zeng Xiuyuan's face darkened:

"That 'Chameleon,' his methods were very strange. He used a card from the 'Illusion School' and successfully escaped the blockade after the explosion."

"What should we do then?"

"We have obtained his facial features and are coordinating a city-wide search."

Zeng Xiuyuan patted Zhang Qingzhe on the shoulder and instructed him, "You need to be extra careful lately, and try not to go to secluded places alone. If you discover anything suspicious, be sure to contact us immediately."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Qingzhe nodded solemnly.

-----------------

When Zhang Qingzhe got home, it was already 11 p.m.

In the living room, only a small, warm yellow nightlight was left on.

My younger sister was curled up on the sofa, hugging a plush pillow.

She had clearly been waiting for her brother to come home, but she accidentally fell asleep.

Her brightly colored, highlighted hair had a few strands clinging to her fair cheeks.

Her long eyelashes trembled with her breath, casting faint shadows under her eyes, and her sleeping face carried a hint of childlike dependence.

Zhang Qingzhe's heart softened suddenly, then was filled with a sense of warmth.

He approached quietly, first releasing the [Mage's Hand] to carefully support his sister's shoulders and knees, then using his own hands to steadily lift her up with all four of his hands.

In her sleep, her younger sister unconsciously snuggled closer to him and let out a muffled whimper.

Zhang Qingzhe moved even more gently, as if holding a fragile treasure, and slowly walked back to her bedroom, settling her in bed.

Looking at his younger sister's delicate little face, he smiled knowingly.

Then--

Zhang Qingzhe silently withdrew and returned to his desk to sit down.

Instead of going to bed immediately, he put his hands behind his head and reviewed the recent series of events.

Prophecy, necromancy, blind boxes, attacks, soul searching, explosions, escapes...

The sense of crisis has not been dispelled; on the contrary, it has become even clearer.

Zhang Qingzhe let out a sigh of relief.

That eccentric from the "prophetic school" escaped.

His greatest skill is tracking and spying.

I still live in the shadows—

If you want to improve your sense of security, you must strengthen your own capabilities.

With that in mind, Zhang Qingzhe no longer hesitated.

He lightly tapped the card pouch behind his waist, activating the [Mobile Workshop] combination card set.

A familiar soft light flowed out, and the semi-transparent control panel covered the desktop like flowing water.

Several sophisticated optical aids automatically adhered to his temples, providing a slightly cool touch.

Looking through the semi-transparent lens, many auxiliary lines are superimposed in the field of vision.

Zhang Qingzhe took a deep breath.

A blank card was drawn and placed steadily in the workshop's drawing area.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to make a [Crow Card].

Zhang Qingzhe's previous experience using the [Dream Simulation] left a deep impression on him regarding the [Crow Card].

It not only possesses the ability to "self-destruct," but also to conduct long-range reconnaissance and surveillance, and even achieve complex remote navigation after multiple chain reactions.

It has many functions, making it almost like a Swiss Army knife from the magical world.

Therefore, after that dream simulation, Zhang Qingzhe specifically consulted Xia Qiwei about the relevant knowledge.

Although Xia Qiwei herself is not an expert in the "Life School".

However, as the dean's personal disciple, she had the right to access many materials in the database.

Cards like the [Crow Card] are not difficult to obtain.

Thanks to his solid foundation in biology from his previous life, coupled with his experience in successfully creating the "Wasp Card," Zhang Qingzhe wrote quite smoothly this time.

With the help of optical instruments in the [Mobile Workshop], the outlining of the magic circle, the fitting of the reaction equations... the whole process is as smooth as flowing water.

Finally, a [Crow Card] of quality Lv3 lay quietly in the center of the drawing area.

On the card, the raven pattern is lifelike, with delicate and sharp feather textures and a faint, dark luster.

Zhang Qingzhe carefully checked it over and confirmed that every detail was perfect.

Zhang Qingzhe nodded in satisfaction, a wisp of spiritual energy gathering at his fingertips.

Infuse the card with "soul" to complete this final activation step.

However, at the very moment his soul touched the card—

A sudden change has occurred!

He felt a strange tremor coming from inside the card pack.

Immediately afterwards, the mysterious [World Card] popped out on its own, transforming into a stream of light and hovering in mid-air.

Zhang Qingzhe reacted quickly, grabbing the [World Card] and placing it next to the [Crow Card].

The next moment, a wondrous sight appeared.

Between the two cards, faint blue threads appeared, swaying gently as if they were alive.

This is exactly the same situation as when the [Steel Bone Bull] card chained with the [World Card] last time.

At this moment, the [Raven] card is also experiencing a strange resonance with the two-headed bird pattern on the [World] card.

Having learned from his previous experience, Zhang Qingzhe was much calmer this time.

Without much hesitation, he picked up a quill pen, dipped it in a small amount of ink, and gently traced the faint lines.

The moment the pen touched the paper, the [Crow Card] suddenly burst forth with a brilliant blue light!

On the card, the raven, which was originally all black, has its feathers rapidly losing their pigment and being tinged with a changing blue.

Even more astonishingly, its neck twisted and another bird's head suddenly grew out of nowhere!

The explanatory text below the card also distorted and rearranged, revealing new entries:

[Effect 2: Master of Deception - Your raven gains basic illusion magic abilities such as mimicry and invisibility.]

Zhang Qingzhe looked at the description with surprise and doubt, then looked up at the pattern on the [World Card].

Before he could even figure out the meaning of this change...

An irresistible, immense suction force suddenly emanated from the [Two-Headed Raven Card]!

Zhang Qingzhe felt as if his soul had been turned on like a tap, being frantically drained by the [Two-Headed Bird].

Zhang Qingzhe's vision suddenly went black, and his body swayed uncontrollably for a couple of seconds.

Professor Kang Ping's blank, bewildered face, like that of a vegetable, flashed through his mind in an instant.

"Oh no... I'm going to have my soul extracted..."

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he could no longer hold on.

With a "thump," he collapsed next to the desk.

In the second before his consciousness plunged into darkness, in Zhang Qingzhe's blurred vision...

He saw the bird head, human head, bear head, and bull head all laughing maniacally, and then the [World Card] spun and was collected into his [card pack].

Immediately afterwards, the bedroom door was pushed open.

"elder brother?!"

My younger sister's trembling screams, choked with tears, grew louder as they approached.

He felt someone hug him tightly and shake his shoulders frantically.
