The Card Apprentice

This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world. Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice. The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos – human and nonhuman – into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more. Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

Chen Mu looked at the big pile of materials in front of him, as well as the countless pieces of equipment, and felt helplessly excited. Those materials would be difficult to buy on the market. If it weren't for the fatty's cooperation, he wouldn't have even been able to imagine them.

The quantity of materials was more than he had seen the last time at the Yang Clan Auction House, and they filled three entire small storerooms. The equipment the fatty had sent over was just as valuable, with quite a few items he had never seen. All of that equipment couldn't be less than several hundred million, which was a pretty serious gift. Chen Mu had no way to refuse them and could only remember the favor in his heart.

Directing the group to help stow them, they were busy for a whole afternoon before they had properly placed all the equipment and materials.
