Once the card is played, it becomes a blank slate, essentially making it a sitting duck.

Knowing when to use cards and what cards the enemy has are things that require continuous learning.

Otherwise, if a wrong choice is made, and the opponent uses a counter card while you use your own important card, then the effect of your own card may be reduced to the extreme.

In this situation, even a Silver-tier card can be single-handedly defeated by a newly assembled deck user.

The fat man wasn't embarrassed at all when his personal information was pointed out.

When choosing the constitution-based build, you have to accept that they are essentially a passive, blank slate of stats.

The Silver City Joke: Every time a strong player tests a deck, the Silver City loses one more physical-type strong player.

"And there's the Cotton Physique." The fat man even revealed a fairly secret card.

"Be careful what you say next time, and don't offend Lord Nemus," Cat Sister said to Fatty after seeing this.

The information revealed in that sentence made the fat man realize the gravity of the situation.

If Nemus is just Cat Sister's new lover, and only uses his charm to get Cat Sister to drive for him, then Nemus himself doesn't really need to care too much.

But the word "sir" alone is enough to explain a lot.

"But when did Silver City acquire such a powerful figure?" the fat man pondered as he stepped back.

"Could it be a reincarnation?" the fat man couldn't help but guess.

The only possibility for a suddenly appearing powerful being is that they are a reincarnation.

However, the reincarnated ones don't seem quite right either, since most of them were originally powerful figures who made their names in Silver City.

Reincarnation is simply a means to seek a higher level, since there are only a few opportunities to upgrade cards.

The initial cards determine too much.

That's why reincarnations exist; in such cases, it's very difficult for their appearance and features to change.

It's impossible for a reincarnated person to suddenly appear and be completely unknown to everyone.

Looking at Nems's appearance, the fat man pondered for a moment and then made a decision: he should be more careful during this period and avoid making a rash move.

This isn't because fat people are cowardly, but rather a manifestation of the wisdom of the body type.

As a physical system, there is no room for tactical maneuvering, so we need to be more flexible in terms of strategy.

This minor conflict did not attract much attention.

The group quickly entered the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion wasn't very large, but it was clearly decorated very luxuriously.

Interior decoration is a term unfamiliar to most people in Baiyin City.

Because the Silver City is a unified whole, many buildings and things are difficult to change.

Therefore, there is only one way to renovate: cover it up.

To cover the old by covering something new with something new.

This requires a large amount of supplies, otherwise they will be scattered here and there.

In a situation where even getting food is difficult for most people, spending a large amount of resources is unimaginable for most.

"Indeed, the fastest and most stable way to make money in the world is always through taxation," Nemus couldn't help but exclaim.

One person's strength is limited; only by pooling the strength of many can we become stronger.

In a sense, the existence of gods is nothing more than collecting a tax on faith.

As soon as Nemes and his party entered, maids led them into the party hall.

At this moment, there was a huge circular table in the hall, which was already full of food.

The food was plentiful and just piled up there.

Quite a few people were already sitting there eating.

There are no restrictions on seating; anyone can sit down except for the head of the table.

However, if you are not a leader, sitting down will only make you look at by others.

For example, Naimus attracted a lot of attention after he sat down.

These gazes are not so easy to bear.

These people don't need to resort to force, but upon reaching their level, various passive aura-like characteristics will overflow around their bodies.

For example, not far from Nems, sat a person completely wrapped in a black robe.

He sat there, his large black robe covering his face and even the area in front of him.

A pair of hands were holding something, and the person was gnawing on it.

After sitting next to him for a while, Nems felt a surge of appetite.

However, after eating some of the food on the table, they realized that the taste was a little off.

On the contrary, a rich fragrance emanated from myself, the cat sister next to me, and even the maid not far away.

The aroma is like blood, and also like the smell of meat.

It makes you want to pounce on it and devour it whole.

One of the five leaders – Lord of the Arazuka.

He has mastered a large number of ghoul events and is a specialist in the deck.

That is, to focus on only one type of thing and to use only cards of that type of thing.

The Lord of the Arazuka is like that; he is essentially a ghoul king with human-like thinking abilities.

His body was surrounded by gluttonous traits.

Everyone who gets close to you will have their appetite affected, and they will feel that the taste of their own kind is the best.

Chapter 728 Black, White, Yellow, and Red!

Nems was naturally not going to be fooled by such a minor feature.

He is now carefully sensing the power emanating from his characteristics.

The so-called characteristics are simply a kind of trait.

The characteristics of Nemus and his group are formed by the aggregation of special things such as traits and characteristics.

In essence, traits are the embodiment of rules.

Everything exists under rules, and its essence is composed of rules and matter.

Some rules stand out, and thus become characteristics in people's eyes.

Then, through various means, whether learning or inheritance, these traits are combined to form characteristics.

If you observe most people in the world, you will find that black stone varieties have virtually no characteristics, not even any distinguishing features.

Occasionally, some people are born with superhuman strength, which is considered a special trait, and that is already remarkable.

Therefore, the little devils with these special characteristics are truly 'terrifying demons' to most people.

This is why paladins need to rely on arcane arts that may damage their potential to gain temporary traits.

The same applies to steel products.

Most people, except for nobles, do not have any special characteristics. At most, they can acquire some traits through meditation and breathing techniques.

That was a special case for Nemes back then.

Only after entering the Golden Seed can various characteristics be condensed, and there is also the "Golden Key," a tool-type characteristic specifically used to extract and refine traits.

However, the problem remains: the scope is too broad.

From having only one or two characteristics, to needing to recognize and consolidate those characteristics on one's own.

Most steel-type steel plants, after being fortunate enough to become gold-type steel plants, immediately give up on further improvement.

The difficulty of obtaining the "Golden Key" is too great. It takes one or two hundred years to develop a single feature, which is exhausting.

At this moment, Nemus finally realized that all of this was due to the lack of the Silver Seed transitional phase.

There are several specialized terms in alchemy.

Blackening, whitening, yellowing, and reddening.

Corruption, death, and dissolution represent the decomposition of alchemical materials.

Albinism represents purification, purity, and spirituality, signifying the refinement of alchemical materials.

Yellowing is the infusion of soul and spiritualization, representing the enlightenment and transformation of alchemical materials.

Reddening represents life, perfection, and unity, signifying the final result of alchemy.

In this process, yellowing and reddening are generally regarded as one.

For this reason, the Philosopher's Stone, the highest achievement in alchemy, is generally considered to be red.

There is also a legend that the Philosopher's Stone can turn stone into gold and change the nature of things.

From an alchemical perspective, black stone is now considered a 'raw material'.

Upon reaching the Steel type, it began to turn evil.

Its own number is being continuously developed and transformed into numerical value.

When the steel grade reaches its maximum value, the development is complete.

Next, for the steel seed to become the gold seed, it needs to absorb external elements, purify its own values, and then condense and fuse to complete the sublimation.

From this perspective, it's as if albino, yellowing, and redning are all concentrated on breaking through this one hurdle.

No wonder breaking through to the Golden Seed level is so difficult.

And even after making a breakthrough, it's difficult to continue down that path.

Because of the lack of a transitional phase, apart from a few geniuses, the rest basically relied on resources and luck to get through.

If you have a silver one, then everything is just right.

The process of silver seeding is called whitening. In this stage, the plant begins to recognize itself, its characteristics and traits, and then it purifies and refines what it needs.

Part of the yellowing process can also begin at this time.

While becoming a gold-level seed is still difficult, at least you no longer need to gamble on luck.

The current Lord of the Desolate Tomb is a prime example of this.

He used only ghoul-related cards, and his own number was constantly 'refined and purified' by the ghoul characteristic.

Various ghoul traits appeared on him.

If we were to place him in the real world now, given his current state, even without consuming too much external energy, he could immediately complete the purification process and enter the metamorphosis phase, with a very high probability of becoming a golden seed.

Even Cat Sister is the same; she's relatively worse off and might need to find some external help or take some medicine, but the difference isn't significant.

“It’s not that their talent is really that good, but that the Silver race paved the way for them to become Gold races.” Nemus tapped the table lightly with his fingers as he sensed the path of the Silver race.

The sound of the tapping kept changing, becoming sharper and sharper, like a sword being wielded and transformed.

Core cards can be used freely without needing to draw cards.

At this moment, the secrets of swordsmanship are revealed under Nemus's strikes.

Even those who were initially indifferent couldn't help but look this way.

In particular, a person wearing full armor immediately turned around, and there seemed to be a sword intent flowing around him.

The Lord of Arazuka, who had been gnawing on the unknown object, slowed down as he felt the food in his hand becoming prickly.

Aratsuka Master, who had stopped moving, lowered his hand, and only then did the food he was eating appear in front of Nemus.

It was a huge bone, with some dead gray flesh and remnants of gelatinous skin on it.

Ghouls arose because humans had no food and chose to feed on the corpses of their own kind; monsters born under this taboo.

Among these monsters is the monster of monsters—the King of Ghouls.

The ghoul king no longer feeds on human corpses, but instead feeds on other ghouls.
