Chapter 185: Cultivation, Card Creation, Support
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For the next few days after Li Guofu left, Zhou Chen focused on cultivating the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.
Seeing this, the old man could not help but ask if he really planned to deal with Nete Tech. Zhou Chen asked him to be patient and that he would take action after Li Guofu sent a message.
Zhou Chen was indeed not in a hurry. His relationship with Li Guofu was not so close that he would rush over to help. All he needed to do was take action when necessary.
This was not even unnecessary. As long as Li Guofu used that item to enchant the old man, he would probably be healed on the spot.
As for Nete Tech, Zhou Chen did not care much about it. It was just a native organization. He would only stay here for a year. Why would he waste time on it? Wasn’t it good to focus on training?
No matter which world he was in, strength was a fundamental thing. With strength, it would be easy to deal with other things. Zhou Chen was very clear about this. Therefore, he was focused on growing stronger.
A week later, in his room in the camp.
Zhou Chen realized that his speed of improvement had slowed down. His Eight Desolates True Energy seemed to have reached a minor bottleneck. He would need more time to progress.
At present, his Eight Desolates True Energy’s range was slightly more than 150 meters. The power of his full-power strike was equivalent to a powerful explosive. He was much stronger than when he had just arrived in this world.
Moreover, the Eight Desolates True Energy was not only for attacking. The Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art was a cultivation technique that specialized in both attack and defense. He had already become proficient in using the Eight Desolates True Energy to defend against bullets. Under Lucy’s cooperation, he tested many times and successfully reflected all kinds of bullets flying at him.
Since his martial arts cultivation had reached a bottleneck, Zhou Chen began training in Card Creator class.
His training method was the same as before. He would take out a piece of bark paper and draw some nearby items to create an item card.
His drawing model this time was the pistol that he had picked up from the polluted area.
A pistol was actually no longer of much use to Zhou Chen. He could casually punch farther than a pistol and with greater power.
However, making a pistol card was a huge challenge. Even though he already had the support of the Danqing passive skill, it was still difficult to create this card.
“Tsk! Another failure!”
At this moment, Zhou Chen was holding a seemingly normal pistol, but he shook his head and turned it back into a card, placing it in the inventory.
This was because the pistol card he had just made was useless and unable to shoot.
“My understanding of pistols is still insufficient. It’s difficult to include all the details in a single drawing. My soul power is also not enough.”
Zhou Chen analyzed two reasons for the failure. On one hand, he did not have much understanding about the pistol and could not infuse enough information into the drawing with his soul power. On the other hand, his soul power was not large enough. If he had enough soul power, he could just brute force through some details in the card creation process.
“I’ll have to meditate more in the future. As for this pistol, I’ll disassemble it again and study it.”
In order to complete the pistol card, Zhou Chen had already dismantled the real pistol in his hand several times. Unfortunately, he still made mistakes in some of the details when drawing it.
Dong dong dong
At this moment, there was a knock on Zhou Chen’s door.
“Who is it? Is that you, Heidi?” Zhou Chen sensed that it was Hilda’s sister, Heidi, who was knocking on the door.
“Yes! Big brother, Heidi’s flower has turned into paper again!” Heidi shouted from outside, anxious.
“I am coming, wait a bit!”
Zhou Chen was speechless. He immediately opened the door and saw Heidi holding a card. On the card was a lifelike crabapple flower.
Zhou Chen took the crabapple card from Heidi and injected a portion of his soul power. The card immediately turned into a beautiful crabapple.
“Oh! It’s alive again! Thank you, big brother!” Heidi took the crabapple flower from Zhou Chen and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She thanked Zhou Chen and hopped away.
“Children are so easily pleased.”
Seeing that Heidi was so happy, Zhou Chen was affected by her happiness as well. The depression from failing to create a card was mostly gone.
“Speaking of which, my card creations have yet to be used in combat…”
Zhou Chen remembered that the first time he put his card creation skills into practice was when he forged the gold ingots in the previous dungeon world. The second time it was used was to make a little girl happy.
This happened just yesterday. Heidi had gone to look for Hilda because she did not have any companions to play with. However, Hilda had something to do outside and it was not convenient to bring Heidi over, so Heidi was a little depressed.
Zhou Chen happened to see it and felt that she was a little pitiful. He took out the crabapple card that he had completed in his villa before this Survival mission and handed it to her.
As a little girl who was born after the apocalypse in this world, Heidi had never seen such a beautiful flower and was instantly captivated by it.
Because the environment of this world had been polluted long ago, the outside world was only filled with desolation and monsters. The places that were less polluted were used to farm food products, and not flowers.
“Speaking of which, my camp is starting to look better. I think I can consider adding more people.”
Seeing Heidi run away happily, Zhou Chen thought of sheltering more people. This was not because he was benevolent, but because of the side mission. He would get better rewards depending on the number of people in his shelter.
“I will talk to Hilda when she returns.”
Hilda had now become the purchasing agent of this camp. She often bought some animals and plants from afar to cultivate. She had already planted potatoes and raised more than twenty chicks. She said that she also wanted to rear pigs, making Zhou Chen feel that this camp had a chance of becoming self-sufficient under her management.

When Zhou Chen was about to continue creating cards, he heard a ringing sound.
“Li Guofu contacted me? Looks like he has some results.”
Zhou Chen immediately took out the communicator out of the cabinet and picked up the call.
The moment the call connected, Li Guofu’s deep voice came from the communicator, “I’m in trouble. I need your help.”
“What happened? Where are you?”
“I killed Thompson, but I am being chased by the people from Nete Tech. Drive over and support me. The communicator will guide you to my location.”
“Alright, I haven’t exercised in a long time.” Zhou Chen immediately agreed..
