Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The Physics System Finally Takes Shape

"What the hell is this?"

Wang Xi froze.

He suppressed the bad feeling rising in his heart and reached out to grab the Blue Card floating in front of him.

[Everyone Has a Girly Heart (Equipment Card)]

[Quality: Blue One Star (Not upgradeable)]

[A certain Magic Girl’s pistol. Some people are dead, yet they live on. Others are alive, yet they are already dead... The miracle of this pistol is that it has no killing power, yet it can be lethal.]

[Upon use, you will wield it. It fires a special bullet that, upon hitting a target, causes them to briefly enter a random ’girly’ state where their words and actions are uncontrollable. Each use empties the bullet (1/1). The bullet will regenerate on its own, or you can use Energy such as stamina or Magic Power to speed up its recovery.]

’The Girly Heart Gun...’

Holding the Blue Card, Wang Xi saw the image of a pink toy pistol, its shell adorned with heart patterns and decorative designs.

’So that’s the kind of trump card Bai Qimeng was hiding.’

he thought, his expression turning strange.

This Blue Card was, for all intents and purposes, a beautiful piece of trash... but in certain specific situations, it was a devastatingly effective weapon.

’It’s not wrong, though. It *can* be lethal.’

Just imagine.

What if he shot Igor, the Wolf Housekeeper?

And that cool, powerful, blond man suddenly started mimicking Sofia the Wolf Witch, putting his hands on his hips, tilting his head back, stomping his foot, and cutely yelling, "You big dummy, Gai!"

What kind of scene would that be?

The image was too beautiful to behold. Wang Xi was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

He felt that this "Girly Heart Gun" could perhaps rival Chekhov’s Gun in some respects.

’Two guns in hand, the world is mine!’

One shot announces my arrival, the other announces your departure. Physical death or social death, you’re dead either way.

It’s just a matter of whether you die with dignity.

...

...

「7:00 PM.」

The sun and the violet moon set together.

The takeout and the delivery arrived at the same time.

It was the same familiar face making the delivery—the working emperor who juggled multiple jobs, the baby-faced Ning Meng.

Wang Xi opened the door and took a look.

The petite girl stood in the hallway, wearing a yellow delivery uniform and a safety helmet. She was carrying an insulated takeout bag and had a huge black delivery box on her back that was completely out of proportion with her small frame.

"Mr. Wang, your takeout and your delivery have arrived."

Ning Meng spoke softly, not even out of breath.

"Please check and receive them."

"Thank you. That’s a lot of work."

Wang Xi took the bag and thanked her.

He then saw Ning Meng effortlessly lift the large box off her back, place it beside her with a THUD, and hand him a receipt.

"Miss Ning Meng, are you very passionate about this job?"

Wang Xi asked tentatively as he took the receipt and signed it.

He knew Ning Meng’s identity wasn’t simple; he suspected she was a high-ranking official. But for this girl to also be working part-time as a delivery person, a courier, and a cook seemed very strange.

’Surely she can’t have this much free time?’

"It’s not about being passionate or not."

Ning Meng glanced at him and said flatly.

"There’s no shame in earning money with my own two hands to support my family. Besides, this is a unique experience and a form of role-playing that helps with my training."

"Training?"

Wang Xi finished signing the receipt and handed it back.

However, Ning Meng seemed to have no intention of explaining further. She put away the receipt, said a polite goodbye, and turned toward the elevator.

[Ning Meng (Friendly/Five Stars/Hero)]

After she left, Wang Xi retracted his gaze.

’Working a part-time job is a form of training...’

’Is it because of some special Technique Card?’

’This girl is so strong. I’m afraid she’s no weaker than the Sugar Witch or the Wolf Witch.’

Wang Xi was secretly impressed.

...

...

After moving the takeout and the delivery box into the living room, Wang Xi didn’t rush to eat. He decided to unbox his purchases first.

He sorted through the pet supplies he had bought online and set up Liuli’s little bed in a corner of the living room. After filling the cute, cartoon-themed food and water bowls, he activated [Encouragement Meow].

VMM.

Accompanied by a soft meow, the calico cat materialized from a blue light and landed gracefully on the floor.

"Master." Liuli sidled up to Wang Xi’s leg, rubbed against it, and called out obediently.

"Liuli, this is your home from now on."

Wang Xi crouched down and stroked the calico’s head.

"Thank you, Master," Liuli said, her eyes narrowing as she let out a faint purr. "Master is the best."

She nuzzled against Wang Xi for a while longer before heading over to the food bowl to dig in. Her table manners were elegant, which was a relief.

Wang Xi paid her no more mind and opened the wooden box where he kept his Universal Cards, taking out the Green Card [Swordsmanship Mastery] worth 380,000 Credit Points.

’With this Core Card, the physical Swordsmanship system of my Main Battle Card set is finally complete.’

he thought to himself.

Next, Wang Xi unequipped the two Green Swordsmanship Cards, [Cloak Strangling Sword Skill] and [Fiore Elegant Sword].

’Kaos, combine.’

The three Green Cards vanished from his hand.

The narrow rift in his mind opened slightly, sucking in the three clusters of green light. Amidst the swirling gray mist, the lights intertwined and merged into one.

VMMMM—

[Tidal Sound Killing Sword (Skill Card / Deep Green One Star)]

Wang Xi reached out and pinched the cool Universal Card.

Its emerald-like crystalline patterns shimmered.

’Excellent.’

He took a deep breath, the corner of his mouth twitching into a smile.

’And now, it’s time to witness a miracle...’

The combination process wasn’t over.

Wang Xi continued by unequipping [Sword Orchid School Secret Technique] and [Bloody Knight]. The former was a Deep Green One Star secret technique for Defense and Counter, while the latter was a Deep Green Two Stars Comprehensive Combat Technique that included Armor-Piercing, Beheading, Parry, and Defense and Counter effects.

They were a perfect match.

This time, three Deep Green Cards disappeared.

A blue light bloomed from the rift in his mind—

[Blood Orchid Elegy (Skill Card)]

[Quality: Blue One Star (Upgradeable · 100/400)]

[The Extreme Swordsmanship comprehended by a young Swordsman. When the sword’s wind rises, death coalesces on the blade. When he spins, the battlefield falls silent. The most elegant slaughter is to make blood bloom like an Orchid.]

[Upon use, you will master advanced Swordsmanship and battlefield killing arts, including Blood Orchid Secret Skill, Crimson Tide, and Strangling Swordsmanship. Each use will continuously consume stamina and has certain requirements for Longsword-type weapons.]

"So strong..."

Wang Xi marveled, holding the new Card.

The names of the three techniques listed in the description were, in fact, enhanced and optimized versions of the abilities from the three old Cards, now all integrated into one.

He examined the Card’s face in detail.

The back had brilliant and magnificent azure crystalline patterns. The front depicted a Longsword plunged into the surface of water, wreathed in a bloody mist. Three phantom petals of a crimson Orchid bloomed around the blade.

The waning moon of the night sky was reflected on the water’s shimmering surface.

As Wang Xi stroked the Card, he could faintly see the blood-red Orchid phantoms trembling slightly, and a humming, metallic ringing sounded in his ears.

He immediately activated it.

A flash of blue light attached itself to him.

Wang Xi’s silhouette glowed with a faint blue aura that quickly vanished, and he instantly felt a powerful force augmenting him.

At the same time, he felt an urge to draw his sword.

"My sword..." Wang Xi murmured. "It’s time for an upgrade, too."

The Beheading Sword he had spent 80,000 Credit Points on before the Professional Warrior assessment was starting to fall behind.

Coincidentally, he had drawn two White Two Stars sword-type weapon Cards from the Black Spade A "Boot Cat" Maze, which he could combine with his [Executioner’s Beheading Sword].

’Kaos, continue.’

Wang Xi took out [Silver Thorn Sword] and [Iron Oath Longsword] and tossed them into his mind along with the [Beheading Sword].

The rift swallowed them once more, and they intertwined within the gray mist.

VMMMM—

A green light bloomed, and a new Card was forged.

Wang Xi caught it and took a look.

[Judge (Equipment Card)]

[Quality: Green Two Stars (Not upgradeable)]

[A two-handed Broadsword that has feasted on the blood of sinners. Its edge can easily cleave through armor and sever heads; its guard is wrapped in silver thorns that can damage opponents upon a parry; its pommel is inscribed with an oath, steadying the user’s conviction in the heat of battle.]

[Upon use, you will wield it. This sword has wondrous effects for Armor-Piercing, execution, and parrying.]

"Not bad. A top-tier Green Card."

Wang Xi was very satisfied with his new weapon.

This [Judge] was clearly a great fit for his Swordsmanship system, perfectly combining violence and elegance.

He thought for a moment. He could divert some of his accumulated Experience Points to upgrade his Main Battle Card, [Blood Orchid Elegy].

Because it had inherited some of the Experience from the old Cards, [Blood Orchid Elegy] started with a base of 100 Experience right after being combined, which saved him some effort.

[Consumed 300 Experience Points (1,545 remaining)]

[Card has undergone Star Promotion!]

[Blood Orchid Elegy (Blue Two Stars/Upgradeable): 0/500]

After his Main Battle Card was promoted to Two Stars, Wang Xi could clearly feel that the power augmenting him had grown much stronger.

To be specific, the damage threshold he could withstand and absorb when using "Blood Orchid Secret Skill" for three perfect defenses had increased; effects like Armor-Piercing and Beheading were further enhanced; and the stamina consumption had decreased, among other things.

Star Promotion was a comprehensive optimization and enhancement.

The increase was around 15%.

Looking at the 1,545 unassigned Experience Points remaining on the panel in his mind, Wang Xi decided to save them for now and use them depending on the situation after the freeze on the Fairy Tale Otherworld ended.

If possible, he wanted to allocate these Experience Points to his Magic Card Set for balanced development.

After finishing all this, Wang Xi put his Cards away. He glanced at the time—it was already 7:30. Fortunately, the insulated bag worked well, and the food was still hot.

He took out the boxed meal of four dishes and a soup, along with three large portions of white rice, and had just taken his first couple of bites.

"Hm?" Wang Xi turned his head and noticed a furry ball had appeared by his feet.

Liuli was sitting there obediently, looking at him pitifully, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth onto the floor.

"You’re already done? You’re not full?"

Wang Xi was surprised by Liuli’s appetite and glanced over at the food bowl in the corner of the living room—however, she had barely eaten any of the cat food in it.

He instantly understood.

Liuli didn’t like cat food.

"You want to try some of this?"

Wang Xi gestured at the meal containers in front of him with his chopsticks.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liuli’s eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded her head like a chick pecking at grain. "May I, Master?"

"Heh, let’s eat together."

Wang Xi smiled, passing her a container of white rice and a spoon, motioning for her to start.

"Thank you, my handsome and generous Master!"

After taking them, Liuli tentatively used the spoon to scoop up a bit of each dish, trying them one by one.

As a result, with every bite she took, Wang Xi noticed the pupils in her heterochromatic eyes contract sharply.

"Meeow!"

Liuli gripped the spoon tightly with her little paws and let out a soft, girly voice:

"So delicious!"

Then, to Wang Xi’s astonishment, she picked up her spoon and began to wolf down her food. Halfway through, she even grabbed the half-finished bottle of "Demon Child Soda" that Wang Xi hadn’t drunk and chugged it all in one go.

"Hic—"

Liuli put down the empty bottle, a look of bliss on her cat face.

"This Magic Potion is so tasty, too."

’What Magic Potion...’

’That’s just the most popular soda of the new era, something a bit like cola.’
