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.

Qiu Shanyu soon regained consciousness. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was stare at Chen Mu's wrist. The flower on his wrist glowed with a deep, verdant green.

"Do you have a tracker on you?" Chen Mu asked coldly.

"Oh." She raised her pretty face and took the silver necklace off her neck. "This is it."

Chen Mu took the necklace suspiciously. He was wary of Qiu Shanyu's cooperation. It looked like an ordinary necklace, and the pendant was a small silver medal with many patterns engraved on it.

When he opened the medal, there was actually a miniature card lying within. After carefully observing it for a while, Chen Mu realized it was a card appliance that could emit a fixed frequency to inform one's companions of their position. With a gentle squeeze, the silver medal and the mini card were crushed between his fingers. With the signal source destroyed, there would be no way for their opponents to track Qiu Shanyu's location.
