Chapter 4

"Follow me." Moyan stood up, flicked her whip, and said with a cold snort, "I hope you can start to understand things once you enter the game area. You don’t need much, just enough to get out of the fool’s realm."

A few minutes later, Wang Yichen followed Moyan to the so-called game area—a space of about ten square meters enclosed by a layer of white light. The space was clean and simple, containing a floating optical brain, a standing control panel, and something like a storage box. There was nothing else.

At Moyan’s gesture, Wang Yichen cautiously looked through the light curtain at everything inside.

"Game optical brain, plane selector, nanostorage box..." Wang Yichen examined the tools in the game area, matching them with the information in his mind.

"And... this!" Finally, Wang Yichen used his mind to open the nanostorage box, and suddenly, a card appeared before him.

The card was about the size of a palm, entirely silver, and exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. This was the most important thing in the main game space—the card.

The main game space could be called the "Card World" because everything in this world—battles, production, and daily life—was accomplished through these magical cards.

Naturally, the most important content of this world—the game—was also composed of various game cards.

"Now, I will introduce the game cards of this world to you in detail," Moyan said seriously—although the information transfer from the white disc had given Wang Yichen a lot of information about this world, it was only the most basic. More detailed and specific information required Moyan’s guidance and Wang Yichen’s own exploration.

"Game cards can be roughly divided into three categories, the first being the Golden Finger cards."

"Golden Finger cards are easy to understand. The various systems you saw the card vendors selling in the square belong to this category. Systems for summoning cute girls, summoning generals, martial arts systems, lottery systems, and so on..." Moyan paused and continued, "But you don’t need to worry about these messy systems for now. They are all relatively advanced Golden Fingers, and the only one you can use now is the most basic Golden Finger."

"There are only two types of basic Golden Finger cards. One is the attribute enhancement system, which can enhance a character’s attributes in a specific area, such as strength, agility, memory, or comprehension." Moyan shook her head, "This is a less combat-effective Golden Finger, usually only useful in the urban plane. But with your current level, you don’t have the qualifications to open the urban plane."

"The other basic Golden Finger gives the character an existing item from the plane and provides some guidance. A common form is that the character has the soul of a senior expert, who will teach the character techniques or experience..."

"I get it, it’s just the 'Grandpa System,' right?" Wang Yichen interjected.

"Exactly, this Golden Finger is indeed called the 'Grandpa System.' Of course, the 'Grandpa' doesn’t have to be an old man; it can be a ring, a bottle, a jade pendant, or even a tattered book," Moyan explained.

Moyan looked at Wang Yichen and said, "It seems you’re not completely ignorant."

"Pfft, anyone who reads fantasy novels regularly knows this. Besides, I’ve even written such novels before. The 'Grandpa System' is something I’m already very familiar with," Wang Yichen said with a smirk.

Although his restless emotions had been forcibly suppressed by the metal disc, he was still unhappy inside. Combined with Moyan’s constant sarcasm, Wang Yichen didn’t have a good impression of her. Although he couldn’t do much now, finding an opportunity to make a sarcastic remark was quite simple.

"Really? You’re an author?" Moyan looked at Wang Yichen for a moment before continuing, "The 'Grandpa System' is the most common Golden Finger card in the main game space, with a wide range of applications, from basic to advanced. The biggest feature of this Golden Finger is that its effectiveness is closely tied to the character’s abilities and the plane’s characteristics."

"So even the lowest-tier 'Grandpa System' can often achieve significant effects when paired with the right character and the right plane, sometimes even surpassing the effects of higher-tier Golden Fingers." As she said this, Moyan paused and gave Wang Yichen a meaningful look.

"Of course, these Golden Fingers are not for you to use directly, but for your characters to use." After a pause, Moyan continued, "Speaking of which, I must introduce the second type of game card, the Character Card."

"The various characters summoned by the Character Cards are the foundation of your game. Each character has different abilities and personalities, and the same Golden Finger can have vastly different effects in the hands of different characters. Similarly, the same character can have different capabilities in different planes. Therefore, the combination of characters, Golden Fingers, and planes is a complex science and something you will need to study in the future."

"Besides some special characters, the abilities and qualifications of characters summoned by ordinary Character Cards can be roughly divided into the following categories: weaklings, otakus, orphans, tech otakus, special forces, and more advanced ones like genius assassins, family failures, and terrifying prodigies..."

"Characters without the qualifications of Long Aotian or Mo Qi Shao Nian Qiong are not convincing!" Wang Yichen interjected sarcastically.

"Long Aotian’s qualifications belong to special Character Cards, which ordinary Character Cards cannot summon. Besides Long Aotian, special Character Cards also include ** aliens, reborn characters, face-slapping heroes, and show-offs... all very powerful qualifications, but special Character Cards are very rare."

After listening to Moyan’s explanation, Wang Yichen couldn’t help but open his mouth wide. He had just made a sarcastic remark, but he didn’t expect these bizarre characters to actually exist. Especially the face-slapping heroes and show-offs... why did they seem so amusing? Wang Yichen couldn’t help but think of a bizarre movie title, "Chrysanthemum Hero vs. Peach Monster"...

"Besides qualifications, some Character Cards may have hidden attributes. These hidden attributes cannot be known through any means and are entirely dependent on luck. If you’re lucky, even the lowest-tier Character Card might have a very powerful hidden attribute, but the probability is extremely low, much lower than winning the lottery."

"Additionally, there is a rumor in the community that the presence of hidden attributes in Character Cards can be judged from some details. For example, characters with certain surnames have a higher chance of having hidden attributes..."

"Are characters with surnames like Xiao, Ye, and Lin more likely to have hidden attributes?" Wang Yichen asked, "And non-mainstream surnames like Ji and Xiao usually have good attributes too."

"Exactly..." Moyan looked at Wang Yichen, seemingly slightly surprised, "You know quite a bit."
