In the history of the Dark World, there have been Dungeon Lords who, using a similar approach, created comparable 'single-attribute cards'.
However, the ideas of those Dungeon Lords were, at most, to create things like 'bows and crossbows', 'swords', or 'magic staffs'.
But bows and crossbows require nocking arrows and drawing the bowstring.
Swords need to be wielded by someone.
Magic staffs require someone to chant spells.
Whether it was 'bows and crossbows', 'swords', or 'magic staffs', they could only grant some special attributes; ultimately, they still needed to be used by people.
These items were indeed very useful in the early stages, capable of demonstrating considerable combat ability when everyone else lacked equipment.
But they became somewhat weak in the later stages.
The later the stage, the higher the attribute bonuses from equipment, and it was difficult for mere panel attributes to compare with an enemy bolstered by a dozen pieces of equipment.
At this point, these transformation cards would gradually lose their suppressive power from the early stages, and their effects would no longer be as significant.
However, according to Lin Qingqiu's observation, the weapon effects of Chen Yu's transformation cards were quite extraordinary; not only could they fire thousands of rounds per second, but they could also trigger large-scale explosions without needing to chant.
In every aspect, they were far more powerful than ordinary 'bows and crossbows', 'swords', or 'magic staffs'.
It seemed they already held a significant advantage in their underlying logic.
Such transformation cards, even in the later stages, could cause a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation, provided there were enough of them.
Especially the girl in the image, who controlled 100 weapons simultaneously.
This ability was simply too terrifying; Lin Qingqiu could foresee that in future battlefields of supremacy, she would absolutely become a grim reaper-like existence.
Moreover, it was impossible to guarantee how many more Contract Adventurer like this Chen Yu had in his territory. He was wealthy now, with at least tens of thousands in income daily. If such a large sum of soul crystals were invested in these Contract Adventurer, their war capability would be unimaginable.
What does a Lord who is both wealthy and possesses powerful military capabilities represent in the Dark World?
It means that as long as he does not fall, he is destined to become a supreme ruler of one domain.
Lin Qingqiu, though a direct descendant of the Lin family, was not from the patriarch's lineage. Her awakened troop type was the Flower Fairy, destined to become a side branch in the future, serving as a foil for the current Lin family patriarch.
Or perhaps one day, she would be sent away as part of a family marriage alliance.
Her elder sister, Lin Qingxian, although she awakened the Lin family's traditional Witch troop type, was still a bit lacking in talent.
The strongest Witch troop type was one that could effortlessly wield all elemental magic.
Lin Qingxian could currently only cultivate both ice and dark elements, which was still far inferior in terms of talent.
In the future, she would also not be able to join the Lin family's Elder Council.
Therefore.
Lin Qingqiu was already considering her future path at that time. Although their sisters appeared glamorous on the surface, their future was predictable, and they did not want to walk such a path.
Coupled with some other matters, they very much wanted to break away from the Lin family and leave that suffocating place.
“It’s just…”
Lin Qingqiu's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, “This guy is now a walking vault in everyone’s eyes. With the Dark Tide seal lifted this time, there are too many enemies. If he can withstand it, he will surely become a supreme ruler one day, but if he can’t…”
If he couldn’t withstand it.
Their sisters would naturally be implicated. At that time, they would either suffer extremely painful punishment or be directly sent off for a marriage alliance.
After a long silence.
Lin Qingqiu suddenly chuckled softly, “But if we are to establish any relationship, it must be established when the situation is unclear. If he is already guaranteed victory, then we would be of no use, and in the end, we would be neither here nor there.”
Whether to offer help in times of need and take an early stance.
Or to add icing to the cake, Lin Qingqiu had already made her decision.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Please come in!”
Lin Qingqiu thought it was Chen Yu and a clear voice rang out. At the same time, she straightened her posture slightly, trying her best to embody the demeanor of a Second Miss.
To make him understand that she was, after all, a young lady from a direct lineage of the Lin family, a person of status and position, and not to always associate her with that young Lord who knelt and called him 'Dad'; that was merely a temporary expedient at the time.
However, what she did not expect was that the person who entered was not Chen Yu.
But Awei.
Lin Qingqiu frowned, “What’s going on? Why are you the only one here?”
Awei said cautiously, “Second Miss, Chen Gongzi said there are too many people in the office, and it’s not very convenient, so he asked you to meet in Room 001.”
“Room?”
Lin Qingqiu was stunned.
Wait a minute!
Go to what room…
And Room 001?
As the manager of Tian Zhi Tavern, how could Lin Qingqiu not know what Room 001 was for?
Those rooms were for young masters of aristocratic families to use when they were in the mood to “handle business.”
This…
After Lin Qingqiu recovered from her daze, her face instantly turned red.
She wasn't prepared at all.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she was facing such a situation, which instantly made her panic…
Witch, witch.
She was only a Witch when she was toying with others. When she actually encountered such matters, she was often purer than a white lotus.
What should I do?
To be honest, that guy was quite handsome.
Tall.
Good talent too…
Lin Qingqiu's mind was in a mess, but the thoughts in her head seemed to be convincing herself.
When she came back to her senses, she had unknowingly arrived at Room 001.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Qingqiu.
Gritted her teeth.
Opened the door and walked in.
Inside the room.
Chen Yu sat alone by the window. Faint light streamed through the window, falling into the room and also on his face.
She didn't know if it was psychological effect or the lighting, but at this moment, Lin Qingqiu actually found him quite handsome.
For a moment, she wasn't so resistant anymore.
“You’re here?”
Chen Yu heard the movement at the door, turned his head and glanced.
He smiled slightly at Lin Qingqiu.
This smile made Lin Qingqiu's face involuntarily redden again. Perhaps it was the imagined events in her mind that made her a little flustered.
She just stood at the door, not daring to move.
“What are you doing?” Chen Yu asked, puzzled, “This is your territory, why are you acting more reserved than me?”
“……”
Lin Qingqiu fidgeted for a long time, finally blurting out a sentence.
“Aren’t you closing the window?”
“Why close the window? I quite like this atmosphere.”
“What…”
Lin Qingqiu was stunned, “But people will see us like this!”
What was wrong with this guy? It was one thing to be like this on their first meeting, but he also had such a strange fetish.
If people saw this, how could I live in the future…?
