Catastrophe Card King

This relaxing mode of interaction put Leonard Churchill at ease.

Seven Brown took a seat next to Leonard, a faint, pleasant scent wafting from her as she breathed.

While still drying her hair, she glanced curiously at the book Leonard was reading.

However, seeing that it was filled with dense medical terminology, she quickly lost interest due to the headache it caused her.

Seeming to remember something, she said, “Oh, by the way. I had Fatty Williams inquire about the multi-elemental magic core you were looking for. It’s a rare item that even the Black Gold Trade Union Headquarters doesn’t keep in stock. The best I could find was a Silver Quality Four-series Magic Core, but I doubt it would meet your needs. However, I did ask him to keep an eye out for you…”

“Mm.”

Leonard nodded while he listened to her, feeling a slight headache.

Master Merlin had already prepared the Air Skill Master Profession Card he needed to advance to the Second Tier.

However, he still hadn’t found a source for the high-quality, multi-elemental magic core he needed as a main ingredient.

Even with the connection he had with Great Ivan and Lew Williams, buying it seemed nearly impossible.

There was also a bounty for it at the Hunter’s Association, but there was no news of one being found.

Leonard continued reading his book, not worrying about things he couldn’t change.

Seven Brown had finished drying her hair and left to change clothes.

However, as Leonard continued reading, a surprising occurrence unfolded.

As he was about to turn the page with his bookmark,

suddenly, the text on the bookmark disappeared into thin air.

“Huh…”

Having witnessed this once before, Leonard was not surprised.

He knew that his mysterious pen pal had written to him again.

But he was curious about what the letter would bring this time.

The text on the bookmark gradually disappeared before new elegant handwriting slowly appeared.

“Ah… I can’t thank you enough! I adjusted the operation of the store according to your method, and although it was mocked as being like a ‘vulgar shop’, the results were excellent. The turnover of that shop quickly doubled. Implementing a VIP membership system brought in a large number of high- quality customers in a short time, improving the business…The elders of my family praised me as a business genius, and I won the business competition in my family… Ah, I was incredibly happy during this time. The only problem was that other shops started to struggle due to my tactics, causing many shops on the same street to close down. Many people blamed me for ruining the rules… But my grandfather said that this is how business competition works and encouraged me to keep working hard…”

The letter was filled with details, like a report, and brimming with joy.

Seeing the seed he casually sowed bloom, Leonard couldn’t help but smile slightly.

The text on the bookmark continued to appear.

I Oh, also, about your problems with mental power that you mentioned last time, I asked my teachers about it. But they said it was a case of mental deformation, apparently a type of ‘multipolar mental deformation’. It is said that… the probability of eventually going insane is quite high. The only solution is to cultivate a mental secret skill…”

Looking at this, Leonard’s expression remained calm.

He had known this method for a long time.

And since even Master Merlin, a legendary card master, had said it,

he didn’t hold much hope.

As he continued reading, indeed, it was just as he thought.

INonetheless, I asked all the teachers, but they also stated that there’s no mental imagination method that 100% matches your situation… They only suggest you can choose professional sequences related to 5-Wisdom, to enhance wisdom development of brain areas, which may inhibit the deformation to some extent, but may also speed it up…]

ILater I pleaded with my grandfather, and we both went to ask Master Theodore, the most knowledgeable person I know. But we didn’t get the result… His suggestion was that you can look for some ancient secret methods from a long time ago, imagination methods like a flame, which can both stabilize yourself and radiate outwards…]

“Master Theodore?”

Reading up to this, Leonard had a thought.

Next time, he could ask the Information Merchant about who this person is, it might help him guess who the mysterious pen pal is.

But then he felt it was unnecessary.

Maintaining the mystery was what made this letter exchange interesting.

Leonard read without excitement or distress.

He initially didn’t have much hope.

However, the following text, like a glimmer of light piercing through a dark cloud,

plunged him into deep thought.

“Master Theodore said, in the end, it’s because many of the mental secret methods passed down nowadays are defective and of poor quality. Some ancient mental secret methods are said to reach the God Tier and can solve almost all mental problems. He gave an example of the mental secret methods practiced by the Old Days Believers in the past, which were superior to the secret methods practiced by most card masters. Although the ancient god corrupts beliefs, the essence of belief is mental power – to control so many believers requires a high-quality mental secret method as if the secret method was imparted by a god… The secret methods initially practiced by a card master were simplified from various Demon God’s mental methods. Oh, master said ‘castrated,’ I don’t know if I misunderstood. Unfortunately, it has been lost for generations.”

“Sorry, it seems I couldn’t help you.”

This?

It seemed…

like there was something to it.

Upon reaching this point, Leonard seemed to have a flash of understanding.

He also understood the contents of the letter.

The mental secret method is like a blueprint, molding mental power, which is as scattered as sand, into shape.
