It’s likely that this impoverished production team had the following design logic—“Give the martial arts techniques fancy names without having to spend on special effects.”

In addition, Henry Clark is also skilled in [Yin Nurturing Sword Technique], able to control invisible Yin swords and silently take a person’s head within a hundred zhang.

The logic behind this setting is clearly that invisible Yin swords save on post-production special effects costs.

Ethan Brooks wasn’t aiming to extract a character card in the first place; he just hoped to draw the cultivation technique [True Immortal Art of the Lunar Yin], and at the very least wanted to get a [Yin Nurturing Sword Technique].

But—Divine Sense?

What kind of skill card is this?

It never appeared in the character settings.

Ethan Brooks focused his mind slightly: “View skill card—[Divine Sense].”

“Swish!”

A white skill card appeared in his mind.

Card Name: [Divine Sense]

Card Quality: [Common]

Skill Level: [One Star]

Card Description: [After equipping this card, the host gains the skill—Divine Sense. Divine Sense is the materialization of spiritual power, possessing functions such as detection, telekinesis, intimidation, consciousness interference, anti-interference, and more. For specific details, please explore on your own. Note: The power of this skill increases as the card level rises.]

Ethan Brooks couldn’t help but show a look of delight.

Judging by the skill description, Divine Sense is highly versatile and powerful, and it even starts at one star.

A month ago.

After breaking up with his girlfriend of three years, Ethan Brooks awakened a system that allowed him to draw character skills as long as he wrapped up a role.

At that time, he had just taken a web movie imitating early Hong Kong films, “The Prequel of the Gambling King,” playing the male second lead named [Ah Xing].

Alex was not only a master of gambling, but also possessed x-ray vision and incredible card-switching abilities.

Unfortunately, the overall quality of that film was low, and Ethan Brooks’s acting was too mediocre, so he didn’t manage to draw the x-ray vision or card-switching superpowers, only getting a white, common, zero-star skill card called [Card Control Technique].

And all he had to do was use his mind to insert [Card Control Technique] into an invisible card slot, and he quickly mastered shuffling, cutting, and other card tricks. An ordinary deck of cards could flutter and dance in his hands like butterflies, smooth and dazzling.

Having experienced the success of drawing a skill card after playing and wrapping up Alex, Ethan Brooks’s passion for acting was instantly ignited, and he immediately asked his agent Ms. Bolton to help him find some suitable projects.

Ms. Bolton had a wide network and quickly found him three projects.

Unfortunately, the main and secondary male roles in those projects had already been taken, so Ethan Brooks could only choose supporting roles. After some consideration, he chose [Legend of the Sword Immortal: Demon Subjugation], playing the number two villain BOSS, Henry Clark, and after wrapping up, successfully drew the skill card—[Divine Sense].

“Open character skill panel.”

Ethan Brooks set aside his distractions, immersed his consciousness into his mind, and brought up the character panel and skill bar.

Character Name: [Unnamed One].

On the right was a plus sign, which should allow switching to the second or third character, but the plus sign was currently grayed out and unselectable, clearly requiring certain conditions to unlock new characters.

The character image was a silhouette, very similar to Ethan Brooks’s outline.

At the bottom of the character panel were three skill card slots, with the first slot already loaded with [Card Control Technique].

A star was lit up on the Card Control Technique card, indicating its skill level was one star—this was the result of Ethan Brooks spending the past month practicing Card Control Technique whenever he had time.

It proved that as long as you practiced a card skill, you could increase its proficiency and level up.

“Snap!”

At some point, an ordinary “Wu’s” deck of playing cards had quietly appeared in Ethan Brooks’s hand.

His fair, slender fingers gently flicked, and the entire deck seemed to come alive, nimbly leaping and spinning at his fingertips.

“Clack clack!”

The cards flipped and interlaced at a dazzling speed in his hands, making crisp sounds like a silky melody—smooth and beautiful.

“Whoosh~”

With a pianist’s touch, he pinched and twisted the cards, instantly fanning them out in a semicircle. The overlapping cards were arranged as precisely as if measured with a protractor, making anyone with OCD feel instantly relieved.

“Snap!”

The fan of cards was quickly gathered up again. Ethan Brooks’s fingers gripped both sides of the deck, his palm exerted a slight force and pulled back, and as his fingers relaxed, “whoosh whoosh,” the cards shot out one after another, forming a gorgeous arch of flying cards.

“Snap!”

He closed the cards with both hands, swiftly cut the deck again, and gently flicked the pinky fingers of both hands.

“Swish swish swish!” Five cards shot out in succession, gliding and spinning gracefully in the air before softly landing on the nightstand.

From left to right, the cards were: spades 10, J, Q, K, A. The spacing and angles were as precise as if measured repeatedly, bringing immense satisfaction to anyone with OCD.

This is the ability brought by one-star [Card Control Technique].
