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.

It was a great purge.

There were 15 grade seven card artisans, but there were only eight left; it was a staggering proportion. Relatively speaking, the proportion of average card artisans who had problems was much smaller, yet 46 people were caught. The whole purge didn't encounter any resistance, thanks to Chen Mu's instructions; he instructed everyone to remove their meter when they were out of the barracks. A card artisan without his meter, even for a grade seven card artisan, would have no way to combat.

But the purge had an inevitable impact on the morale of Wood Word Camp; everyone was jittery.

Xiaobo and Sang Hanshui had a face as long as a fiddle, but they were more curious with how their boss accomplished that?

Chen Mu said, "There were spies among us. I believe you two were aware of that?"

"Of course," Xiaobo continued, "Boss made such a big hoo-ha about it. It would be abnormal if the rest didn't have any reaction."
