As an outstanding gacha player, it's inevitable to humble oneself before the card pool when necessary.

Don't ask if it works; the mystical nature of it is unpredictable.

Jing silently watched Su Chen, standing close enough to hear what her master was muttering.

She remained silent, unable to bring herself to shatter her master's prayers at this moment.

After a bout of muttering, Su Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind, and glanced at his Blood Coins.

7823 points.

The hard work of the first half of the night was about to be gambled away!

Of course, it couldn't be gambled away recklessly.

Among the six major card types, Su Yan directly excluded Skill Cards, Talent Cards, Servant Cards, and Trait Cards.

These four categories contained a large number of non-material item cards.

What Su Yan needed most now was a Rest Card, not anything else. If he couldn't draw a Rest Card, he would likely have to manually create one using his legendary talent.

Based on this, no matter how you look at it, drawing cards with tangible items was the best choice.

Su Yan ultimately invested 7000 Blood Coins, making 35 draws each in the Supply Card and Equipment Card pools.

Accompanied by two surges of blood-red light, 70 cards fluttered out like butterflies, gathering around Su Yan.

Su Yan quickly began to count the cards, first checking their grades.

62 N Cards, 8 R Cards.

"Damn, not even an SR!"

Su Yan cursed inwardly, disappointed but not surprised.

Users who had been burned by the card pool a few times would generally become numb.

Next, he checked for any Rest Cards.

Great, there were none!

The probability of drawing a Rest Card was even harder than an SSR; Su Yan even suspected its drop rate was comparable to randomly drawing a UR Card.

"A handful of white goods, all ready to be dismantled."

Su Yan sighed, pulling out 23 food Supply Cards, 3 backpack cards, and 10 equipment cards suitable for his team.

34 cards remained, offering little help, all candidates for dismantling, including 2 R Cards.

Su Yan first dismantled an R Card, gaining 10 points of Quantum Energy.

"As expected, higher-level cards yield more Quantum Energy when dismantled."

Su Yan understood and dismantled the remaining cards.

In total, he gained 52 points of Quantum Energy, adding to the previous amount, he now had 58 points of Quantum Energy.

Still not enough, there's a gap.

"Let's gather some more!"

Su Yan gritted his teeth, "I have plenty of low-level cards anyway, damn it, I'm getting a vehicle tonight!"

Su Yan still had a large number of Equipment Cards; considering the previous battle losses and the 5 already dismantled, he had 41 usable Equipment Cards left.

Half of them were spare Equipment Cards that could be dismantled, but even dismantling them all wouldn't yield 100 points of energy.

"Damn."

Su Yan calculated in his mind, frowning, "The gap is quite large, I need to kill more monsters to gather money."

Being a god isn't easy, being a god is expensive.

The creation of all things with the Talent Card sounds impressive, but the costs involved are not small.

Honestly, I'm envious of that guy Liu Xun, who casually draws a Rest Card.

Speaking of Liu Xun, Su Yan glanced at the Chat Channel.

Damn!

Liu Xun was still active.

The entire Chat Channel was filled with anxiety, many users lamenting how to get through the night.

After the day's battles and racewalking, most users were physically and mentally exhausted, even those who had been lurking in the Starting Zone were running out of stamina.

After all, the survival environment was lonely and dangerous, the atmosphere tense and oppressive, and one had to keep moving... even users with the best stamina couldn't handle it at this late hour.

Yet, everyone had no way to rest; no one had come up with a solution all day.

Perhaps someone had thought of something, but no one shared it.

As a result, the Chat Channel was filled with sighs, except for Liu Xun, who was increasingly active and showing off.

The more others suffered, the more certain people reveled in it.

Yet, no one could do anything about him; on the contrary, Liu Xun's value continued to rise with the night.

More and more bold individuals offered to buy the Rest Card from Liu Xun, the price getting higher, and more women actively sought to team up with him.

Liu Xun was cunning; no matter how high the offer, he wouldn't sell.

No one was a fool; clearly, no one else had revealed a second Rest Card, making his card unique and extremely valuable! It's like a hen that lays golden eggs; how could he sell it easily?

You ask how a broken motorcycle lays golden eggs?

Liu Xun's actions directly refreshed people's perceptions; he wasn't just selecting beautiful women to team up with, he required all female users requesting to team up to bring their own price.

Yes!

You heard right!

He was auctioning off his team member slots!

He didn't just want to sleep with them; he wanted them to pay him!

And the price couldn't be too low; the starting price had to be 1000 Blood Coins!

To afford 1000 Blood Coins, and still be a beauty... how was that possible? Such women were usually quite capable, could they easily team up with him?

Su Yan originally didn't believe it, but as he watched one female user after another emerge in the Chat Channel with offers, he couldn't help but be flabbergasted, marveling at the number of formidable women.

Rich, beautiful, capable... such women were usually top-notch, yet they were trapped by a single Rest Card.

"In life-and-death situations, you really don't have a choice."

Su Yan shook his head, finding it absurd, but this was reality.

Yet Liu Xun maintained high standards, repeatedly emphasizing in the Chat Channel: "Only 55 people signed up? The deadline is 2 o'clock, you can rest until noon! Sleep until you're full! It's a rare opportunity, tomorrow won't be the same price!"

"Those without enough Blood Coins can also trade with cards, good card trades are welcome, fuel supplies are even better."

The more Su Yan looked at the Chat Channel, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Damn, this guy is so smug, he's so pleased with himself!"

"No, I need to get a Rest Card too! I have to get it tonight!"

Su Yan gritted his teeth, suddenly standing up: "Everyone, get ready, we're not sleeping tonight, let's go earn some more Blood Coins."

"Yes."

The servants responded one after another, but Jing suddenly spoke up: "Master, is it because there's not enough energy?"

"Yes."

Su Yan was sorting through his Equipment Cards, nodding in response: "There's a gap, I estimate we need to earn a few thousand more Blood Coins."

Jing had been silently observing, seeing the Chat Channel content, and noticing Su Yan's changing expressions, she guessed the key points.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly voiced her thoughts: "Should we try a different approach?"

She didn't ask how Su Yan knew the energy needed for creation was insufficient; instead, she directly offered a solution.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he looked at her: "Do you have a good idea?"

"I don't know exactly how the master's new talent works, but I wonder if, since it's a creation from nothing, could it be that the master's envisioned details aren't rich enough?"

Jing paused, speaking softly: "Is it possible that the richer the details, the lower the energy requirement for creation?"

"That's possible."

Su Yan pondered, nodding, then helplessly spread his hands: "But my previous profession wasn't in vehicle manufacturing; I'm just an ordinary person, I can only think of so many details."

"The master doesn't know, but we do."

Jing raised her hand, pointing to the servants, revealing the mystery: "Even if we don't know the full picture, each of us knows part of the details, and piecing them together would create more complete details, wouldn't it?"

"Even if we don't know about high-tech vehicles, what about vehicles without high-tech content?"

"For example, ancient human-powered carts, flatbed carts, bicycles; or we could use sails, mortise and tenon joints, levers, wheels, inclined planes, gears, and other physical principles to piece together a new low-tech vehicle?"

As Su Yan listened, his eyes grew brighter.

Jing didn't stop her explanation, pointing to the hunter Old Chen and the blacksmith Wang Dachui among the servants: "I think, even if the master doesn't know how to make these things, they should know a little."

"Whether it's a blacksmith, hunter, thief, or warrior, they all need some experience and ability in making simple tools in the wild, including a lot of non-tech vehicle knowledge."

"And I happen to be good at summarizing and analyzing different knowledge; we can try to make a vehicle blueprint ourselves."

"Then let the master familiarize and memorize this blueprint, and based on the blueprint, imagine and create... wouldn't this reduce the energy cost for creation?"

Jing finished speaking, looking at Su Yan, her eyes asking if this hypothesis could help her master.

"Genius! Jing! You're a fucking genius!"

Su Yan laughed heartily, excitedly hugging the librarian, unable to contain his joy: "Great! Great! You're my top-notch cookie!"

This idea was brilliant!

If modern vehicles don't work, we'll make ancient vehicles!

Even if we can't make ancient ones, we'll use physical principles to manually create a feasible blueprint and replicate it, won't we?

Honestly, this idea isn't hard; maybe someone could easily think of it... but many things in the world depend on the core of "being able to think of it."

Su Yan wasn't stupid; he was just led astray by the various small mechanisms of the Endless Road, and further misled by Liu Xun's showing off into the "modern vehicle" path.

And the maximum potential and value of the Talent Card "Furnace of All Things" inherently requires the user to have an almost infinite imagination and countless creative ideas.

The stronger the imagination, the stronger this talent, and the more it can be called a god on earth.

"Cookie?..."

Jing tilted her head in confusion, pursing her lips, allowing Su Yan to hug her excitedly.

A faint smile slowly appeared at the corners of her mouth: "...If I can help the master, I'm happy too."

In fact, Su Yan never knew, the loyalty of the servants was absolute, but 100% loyalty didn't mean 100% dedication.

The absolute loyalty of servants under the Endless Road mechanism was based on restraint from "not doing something," they couldn't betray the user, couldn't harm the user, couldn't disobey the user's orders.

This was a kind of control similar to a curse and contract, a loyalty with shackles, because no creature would unconditionally and completely serve someone.

True loyalty is about "doing something," actively thinking, worrying about what you worry about, loving what you love, hating what you hate.

It doesn't require any instructions, nor is it a form of submission, it's a broader recognition and appreciation, like a soulmate, like a close friend.

At this stage, no user has truly understood that "absolute" means "narrow" at its core.

This is an undisclosed potential mechanism, even Su Yan hasn't realized that Jing's ability to think has far exceeded the practical scope of an N Card.

"Let's do it, let's get started!"

Su Yan released Jing, waving his hand energetically: "Guys! Let's get to work! We're not killing monsters, let's brainstorm and create some new survival technology!"

The servants all smiled, responding positively, and began to offer suggestions under Su Yan's call.

Many hands make light work; each servant had their own life experiences, knowing different things, and coming together was much stronger than one person's mind.

With Jing offering suggestions, in less than half an hour, they had sketched out a detailed vehicle blueprint on the street with simple tools.

It resembled an ancient flatbed cart, driven by humans and sails, incorporating levers and wheels, with details pieced together mainly using mortise and tenon structures.

It wasn't high-tech, simple and easy to understand, and after careful consideration by several servants, they unanimously agreed it was highly feasible.

But the actual effect would have to be tested by Su Yan creating it.

"Good, very good, let me try."

Su Yan nodded in satisfaction, eager to start memorizing and meditating.

And at this moment, Jing, who had been silent, once again offered a new direction, a possibility filled with potential wealth.

"Master, I remember that user transactions aren't limited to cards, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Su Yan looked at Jing in confusion: "What are you trying to say?"

"Master is so silly."

Jing's smile was the brightest it had ever been: "If trading items isn't restricted, as long as the vehicle you create can be used by yourself, can it also be used by other users?"

"Then, considering the current market price of Rest Cards..."

Jing's voice slowly stopped, as she saw Su Yan's eyes grow increasingly bright.

"Yes... the Rest Card now, that damn motorcycle is almost nine thousand Blood Coins..."

Su Yan's voice trembled, his heart racing, almost jumping out.

"If I can mass-produce Rest Vehicles, damn it, I'll make a fortune!!"

"Do it! Quickly! Brain, start meditating!!"
