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.

The Mud Fish Jet-Stream Card

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Since he'd connected with a business, Chen Mu returned to Eastern Shang-Wei City the same day. His original reason for riding the train for six hours to Amay City was that he didn't want to draw other peoples' attention. While the Zuo household was powerful in Eastern Shang-Wei City, once out of that city, they didn't count for much. If it wasn't for having to wait for the demonic woman, he would have left there before.

Chen Mu started to work as soon as he got home. Repairing cards was very technical work, and there were a lot of areas where he would have to study while doing. Although he already had the experience of successfully restoring a three-star jet stream card, there were many different types of cards represented among the three-star cards in his hand, which meant that there was a commensurate amount of preparation work.
