Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 5, Card 1 [Battle Card]

After dinner, Zhang Qingzhe returned to his room.

Spread the newly purchased materials out on the desk.

He took out the "Mage's Hand" that his sister had given him, carefully read the instructions, and then infused it with magic essence.

Although he only has two and a half [magic loops], luckily it's a LV1 card.

So, in the end, it did manage to get two hands out, though they felt like a baby's.

Even handling a test tube with it is a bit shaky.

This gave Zhang Qingzhe the illusion that he was enslaving child laborers, and that the child laborer was a little girl with slender fingers.

However, remembering his sister's words, he decided to continue using it, determined to turn his little hands into muscular arms sooner or later.

He mixed the magic potion according to the proportions in the textbook.

The moment the liquids mixed, they emitted a slight "sizzling" sound, followed by a burst of brilliant colored light.

Then, he pulled out a dip pen.

Upon closer inspection under the lamp, the iridium nib appears somewhat worn.

Replacing the pen will cost a lot of money!

Zhang Qingzhe sighed silently.

In this magical world, survival seems to be easily attainable.

But if you want to climb higher, that will be a bit difficult.

Because both knowledge and rare materials are quite expensive.

Zhang Qingzhe sighed softly and took out a blank card from his schoolbag.

The cards are standard size, 57 mm wide and 88 mm long, just like playing cards.

These low-quality blank cards have a limited capacity to hold magic energy and can only be used to create low-level cards from LV1 to LV3.

If you want to get involved in [Advanced Cards], you must customize [Advanced Blank Cards] according to your school of thought.

Just thinking about the cost gives me a headache.

Zhang Qingzhe picked up the dip pen and took a deep breath.

Slowly eliminate all distracting thoughts, allowing your mind to become as calm as a lake.

Then, I put pen to paper.

The pen tip moved across the blank card, and intricate runes gradually took shape.

About five minutes later, with the last stroke of the pen.

All it took was one AA battery to make it.

This time, Zhang Qingzhe didn't collapse from exhaustion and slump onto the table to catch his breath like he did last night.

He fed this freshly made card directly to the [World Card].

A familiar warmth surged through my body once again.

He clearly felt that the third [magic circuit] was maturing within his body.

Zhang Qingzhe breathed a sigh of relief, unable to help but lament the "foul" of the [World Card].

According to Wang Dong's previous statement, it would take at least 100,000 resources to accelerate the development of a new [Magic Circuit].

And what about yourself?

The same effect can be achieved by making just two [size 9 batteries].

Zhang Qingzhe continued his efforts, making several more "No. 9 batteries" and feeding them all to "World Card".

However, he discovered that each additional [magic loop] required feeding more [Number 9 batteries].

When he upgraded the Magic Circuit to nine, he had used up all his Blank Cards.

Zhang Qingzhe picked up a pen and paper, calmed down and started writing out the equations, doing a rough calculation.

If this growth trend continues, and he wants to reach the same number as Xia Qiwei, which is one thousand [magic loops], then the number of [Number 9 Batteries] he needs is—

One trillion copies!!!

Zhang Qingzhe was speechless.

Looking at it this way!

Compared to the unfairness of one's birth, cheating is nothing.

These "witches" are practically a cheat code!

And it's even more ruthless than his own "World Card".

This string of numbers was so long it was almost unbearable, and it held Zhang Qingzhe captive for a full ten minutes.

Fortunately, he was a very open-minded person and quickly calmed down.

—Don't rush.

Since the "natives" can create thousands of [magical loops], there's no reason why this transmigrator with a "cheat code" couldn't do it too!

Moreover, the cards being fed now are the lowest grade [size 9 batteries].

In this world, there are countless types of cards, and plenty of opportunities.

Having figured this out, Zhang Qingzhe felt much more at ease, and his confidence was rekindled.

He sorted out his thoughts and decided to first improve his self-defense capabilities.

The appearance of villains like Ding Yongkai did indeed give him a sense of crisis.

So the next plan is to increase the number of [magic loops] while also creating some cards for battle.

However, the courses taught at the school were all production-related cards.

This is, of course, also for the sake of social stability.

Just like in his previous life, universities teach you how to build machine tools, but they don't teach you how to build guns.

If you really want to become an "Ampère", you have to go to the military for further training.

Zhang Qingzhe rubbed his chin, thought carefully for a moment, and realized that he could only pin his hopes on his younger sister.

The witches have a wide range of interests, and none of them are law-abiding.

Although Zhang Qingzhe doesn't know his younger sister very well, she doesn't seem like a well-behaved child.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingzhe slipped into his sister's room again.

My younger sister was still sleeping in a crooked position, the thin blanket had been kicked off the bed, revealing her slender shoulders and neck.

It seems she was still sulking before going to bed; a set of tarot cards was scattered by the bedside, so she probably fell asleep still angry.

Young people are great; they can fall asleep the moment their head hits the pillow.

Zhang Qingzhe picked up the tarot cards and looked at them from number 0 all the way up to number 21.

Then, he took out his own World card and compared it with the other card.

The card art style, the card back design... they all look like a set.

too weird!

Why is this "culprit card" so similar to my sister's collection?

Why is it that no matter how many times the younger sister draws, she can't draw the last [World Card]?

Zhang Qingzhe frowned for a long time, but couldn't figure it out no matter what he did.

He temporarily abandoned his thoughts, pulled out a few books from the bookshelf, and quietly took away a few blank cards.

After covering his sister with a light blanket, he returned to his own bedroom.

Zhang Qingzhe quickly flipped through the card-making textbooks.

As he watched, he suddenly discovered a secret—

Beneath the rational mask of the "prophetic school" of her younger sister, there seems to lie a violent heart of the "energy-shaping school."

This guy claims he wants to join the "Prophecy School," but he's collected a lot of information on the "Fireball" spell.

Zhang Qingzhe couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He was terrified that his younger sister would be corrupted by that crazy woman, Xia Qiwei, after she got into university.

However, although there is a lot of information about the Fireball Technique, Zhang Qingzhe is not proficient in the Energy Shaping School.

Because he came from a world without magic, he received a materialistic education from a young age.

Therefore, he simply cannot understand communicating with the "elements".

As a former medical student, he instinctively felt that the "life sciences" were more suitable for him—at least they were studying living organisms.

Outside the window, the night was deep.

Only a few streetlights shone faintly in the hazy mist.

Zhang Qingzhe kept his head down and continued flipping through the pages.

I'm hoping to find combat cards from the [Life School], but there seems to be very little information available for this type.

Just when he was about to give up, a card suddenly floated out from between the pages of the book.

Zhang Qingzhe reached out and picked it up, discovering it was a prize from a blind box.

He glanced at the name casually, then his pupils suddenly contracted:
