Blank card... Chen Qi's eyes lit up involuntarily.

A blank card was often a special drop from the Void Phase, Shadow Phase, or crack in the Book Phase. It could serve as a model for skill cards, occupation cards, one-time cards, or backpack cards.
A cardmaker needed blank cards to create new cards.
Ordinary cardmaker apprentices had the ability to mass-produce blank cards, but cards with Nature Form power needed to rely on specific monster drops.
And a blank card emitting black gas had two possibilities. First, it was a blank card with the Shadow Phase attribute. Second, it was a card with the Void Phase.
Of course, there was another possibility...
Chen Qi widened his eyes.
Under his strong inspiration, he could feel the extremely suppressed spiritual power of the Shadow Phase, mixed with extremely calm spiritual power, constantly emanating.
This blank card possessed both Nature Forms.
Although it only had one more Nature Form, in terms of rarity, the rarity of a Void Shadow Phase blank card was fifty times that of a single Nature Form skill card.
A Void Shadow Phase blank card had powerful spatial attributes. Paired with the creeping shadow produced in the Witch Sea, even an ordinary book hammer phase cardmaker apprentice could create a powerful ground card weapon, the Forest of Creeping Shadow Tentacles.
Subsequently, if one delved into the Shadow Phase, they could even develop Shadow Release techniques, like Tentacle Surge.
Third Rank book phase, hammer phase, and heart phase transcenders had already started mass-producing units: the small steam mechanical soldiers of the hammer phase, the beast herd flow of the heart phase beast tamer, and the ground flow of the book phase transcenders.
The Tentacle Surge was a very strong ground card skill. With just one card, one could withstand the shadow beast monster attacks under the Smiling Moon.
The Void Shadow Phase blank card was a special drop after Smiling Moon. Killing a Third Rank strength book, shadow phase monster had only a one percent drop rate.
To think one would appear in this place. Currently, many people should not yet know the value of this blank card... Chen Qi propped his chin, excitedly asking:
"I want that blank card. What level of task do I need to complete?"
Captain Sea Snake squinted his eyes, pondered, and said:
"A blank card with the Shadow Phase, the Shadow Tide is coming soon. Let me think, since you're a newcomer, you can either maintain the tentacle grass or help our Sea God Pirate Group build defensive works to withstand the Shadow Tide."
Captain Sea Snake curled his lips and pointed to another reward:
"You might want to swap it for Sea Muddy. This is our specialty product, a mud-shaped creature that can cover your whole body. Long-term use will not only let you experience an unprecedented feeling of comfort but also give you a special fragrance, making it less likely for sea beasts to attack."
As he said this, Captain Sea Snake hugged himself with both hands, his face turning red, showing a look of comfort!
"???"
You can say that, but don't make such weird gestures... Chen Qi glanced at Captain Sea Snake.
This guy had various pet motifs on his clothes, apart from the Sea Goddess on his back: water elves, tentacle grass, sea snakes, little seahorses, and so on.
He was an ocean-type pet beast enthusiast.
And he had not noticed the specialty of the blank card at all.
Hmm, he did not even care about it in the slightest... Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:
"I'll take the task of maintaining the tentacle grass. I'll take two tasks first."
Tentacle grass was a special sea beast that was extremely prone to agitation. In most people's eyes, this was a highly dangerous job; a slight mistake and you'd be tied up by tentacles.
This was a laborious task requiring strength.
But for Chen Qi, the difficulty was less than collecting herbs from sea beasts with Little Crow.
No, it did not even require his effort at all.
He had six water elves; one water elf could maintain one plot of tentacle grass.
He alone could maintain six plots of tentacle grass!
No, considering water elves only needed to rest four hours out of twenty-four...
If he squeezed their rest time down to two hours, his water elves could cover all the tentacle grass plots near Sea God Island!
Chen Qi said decisively:
"I'll take two plots!"
"Two plots, that will take at least twelve hours of your time. This is a labor-intensive job that no one is willing to do..."
This was a laborious task... Captain Sea Snake showed a look of admiration:
"Alright! Brother, seeing that you're suffering from sea beast disease and still so diligent, I'll give you the reward in advance."
"???"
Chen Qi widened his eyes.
Captain Sea Snake puffed out his chest, said something to the person in charge, then took out the blank card and handed it to Chen Qi:
"This card is of no use to us; take it! Work hard! In the future, follow us, and you'll be part of our family. We'll make sure you rise to the Third Rank!"
Captain Sea Snake smiled inwardly.
His spirit power perception could clearly sense Chen Qi's spirit power field.
Among the second-order, Chen Qi's spirit power field was already quite formidable.
Under normal circumstances, a Shadow Phase blank card could at most sell for ten thousand shell coins!
Spending ten thousand shell coins to lure a competent Second Order Transcendent with a big promise and increase his loyalty was quite a bargain.
More importantly, the difficulty of maintaining one plot of tentacle grass was actually quite high, needing ten thousand shell coins anyway.
In the end, he earned an extra ten thousand shell coins for nothing.
[You have obtained a Void Shadow Phase blank card.]
Just like that... Chen Qi found it hard to believe and accepted the card.
The Sea God Pirate Group did not even know the immense value of their shop items.
The Sea God Pirate Group indeed was a ramshackle operation... Chen Qi took the card and straightforwardly said:
