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 shopkeeper's purchase price was a hundred and three Oudi, which is to say that for every power card, he could get five Oudi profit. The shopkeeper purchased twenty-five one-star power cards from him every day. That is to say that he could get a hundred twenty-five Oudi in income every day. But there was a precondition." Yu Long's expression turned serious, "The precondition was that he not have one failed card. If he were to have a single failure, then his income would fizzle out, and if he were to fail with two cards, he would take a loss of seventy one Oudi every day. That showed the stunning success-rate he had making cards. What I admire the most is that he maintained such a life for four years."

Qing Qing's quiet eyes could help showing the admiration she felt.
