Chapter 70: The Creation Card

Li Guoqing became angry when he heard those words. But because he was naturally timid and Zhang Min had too much on him, he did not dare to vent his anger at her. After opening his mouth uselessly, Li Guoqing turned and ran out of the room.

During previous times in their relationship, Zhang Min might have chased after him at such moments, suppressing her own anger and soothing Li Guoqing with gentle words. But today, her patience was completely used up. The burning physical desire made her extremely uncomfortable, and this discomfort turned into contempt and strong anger toward Li Guoqing.

A few minutes later, Zhang Min finally calmed down. For the sake of the powerful backing of the Li Family, and to successfully seize the huge assets of the Yida Group and take full control of it, she had to endure the humiliation. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would be wasted. And the timid, most favored youngest son of the Li Family, Li Guoqing, was now her best chess piece.

“Guoqing, don’t be disheartened. Everything will get better,” Zhang Min said as she walked out of the room naked, sitting down next to Li Guoqing on the sofa in the outer room, forcing a gentle expression.

“I… I… sigh!” Li Guoqing felt even more sorry for her under her gentle gaze.

“It’s okay, it’s okay! I was wrong earlier, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that,” Zhang Min said with a forced smile, stroking Li Guoqing’s body and comforting him softly.

“About Zheng Fan’s matter, don’t worry, I will fully cooperate with you!” Li Guoqing changed the subject. Only by working harder in Zhang Min’s plan could he feel less guilty toward her.

“I am a woman, and I have my career, my law firm. I don’t have much ambition for the Yida Group. I’m doing all this just for you, for your dignity and future, so that your grandparents, your parents, and your older brothers and sisters will look at you differently from now on…” Zhang Min leaned close to Li Guoqing’s ear, breathed lightly, and spoke to him as if brainwashing him.

“Wife, you are too good to me! I… I…” Li Guoqing’s eyes were full of gratitude and guilt.

Lying down on the worn-out sofa, Lü Yang closed his eyes and began to study the newly obtained eerie card, the Creation Card.

It was a special attribute card. According to the instructions on the card, this eerie card could normally only be exchanged by senior eerie practitioners specialized in engineering. Other eerie practitioners had only a very small chance to obtain this type of eerie card after encountering some strange mysterious domains and surviving.

Lü Yang was only a junior paranormal master and had not yet chosen his future specialization. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to get this Creation Card. But because of the car accident he encountered on the highway tonight, which dragged him into a very strange mysterious domain, and because he later successfully found the path of survival and escaped from this dangerous mysterious domain, he had the chance to obtain such a powerful eerie card with special attributes, like winning a big prize.

Only four eerie points and two eerie stones were needed to meet the basic conditions for using this Creation Card.

However, for Lü Yang, this eerie card was too useless. If the mysterious domain hadn’t forced this eerie card on him, and if he had a choice, he would never have wanted such a useless eerie card. Because he had no need to create a mysterious domain himself, and using this card required additional consumption of eerie points and eerie stones.

Every eerie card had many corresponding instructions or videos, even holographic demonstration videos, allowing people to enter a virtual world for a simulated trial. Lü Yang now essentially obtained an eerie card that exceeded his current level of eerie practitioner and knowledge of mysterious domains. To enable him to use this eerie card correctly, the mysterious domain naturally attached the corresponding knowledge to the instructions.

The same eerie card would have different levels of detail in the instructions and related demonstration videos at different levels of Lü Yang’s ability, especially for a card like the Creation Card that exceeded his current level.

Although he did not want to use this Creation Card, Lü Yang could not sleep yet, so he continued to study the related instructions of this Creation Card. He also wanted to use this Creation Card and the process of creating a mysterious domain to gain a basic understanding of the fundamental rules of a mysterious domain. In case he was dragged into a mysterious domain again in the future, he would have more reference when searching for the main quest or the path of survival.

Just like when playing StarCraft or Warcraft, after using the map editor to create some complex maps yourself, you would have a clearer understanding of the various rules, items, and monsters in the entire game world. The Creation Card was something like a map editor.

To create a mysterious domain, you first needed a world framework. The larger the world framework, the more resources such as eerie points and eerie stones would be consumed. For this Creation Card, four eerie points and two eerie stones were only its most basic resource requirements. If you wanted to create a larger and more complex mysterious domain, it would consume more resources.

The world framework could not be built arbitrarily. It had to be based on a partial scene of the real world, or someone’s memory, dream realm, fantasy, famous events, memories of the dead, etc.—almost anything, some even a mixture of various elements.

A mysterious domain based on a partial scene of the real world was the easiest to build. For example, a residential area, a gas station, a building, or even as small as a room… The smaller the scene, the fewer resources consumed; the larger the scene, the more resources consumed.

Slightly more difficult than the real world was using a person’s memory as a blueprint. Dreams were more difficult, and fantasies were even harder than dreams. Because the mysterious domain had to automatically remove many unreasonable elements, it would consume more resources, and successfully establishing the entire mysterious domain would also be more difficult.

To extract the memories, dreams, or fantasies of the dead as a blueprint to structure a mysterious domain was absolutely impossible for non-engineering spectralists. Even with a Creation Card, it was impossible. There were many such rules, quite detailed and tedious. Lü Yang had no intention of studying them so deeply for now, only browsing roughly, and studying the rules useful to him more deeply.

In summary, whether based on the real world, memory, dream realm, or fantasy, the blueprint had to be able to form a basic framework of at least a somewhat normal world.

When you created a mysterious domain, if you wanted to use your own past memories as a blueprint to build the world framework, there were no special requirements—just build it directly according to the world in your memory, like the real world. But if you wanted to use someone else’s memory as a blueprint to build the world framework, you had to be as close as possible to the target person. If you were too far from the target person, the construction would fail.

This method could easily invade others’ memories, even their dreams and fantasies. Of course, building a world framework based on the memories of a living person was simpler. To build a world framework based on the memories of a dead person, the conditions were more demanding. Besides requiring specialization in engineering, there were many specific resource requirements, such as having the closest people of the deceased present—the more, the better—as well as places the deceased often went, items they frequently used, etc. All these would affect whether the world framework could be successfully built.
