Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 230 - Chapter 230 Chapter 230 Diffusion

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Diffusion Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Diffusion An afternoon passed, and with Terry’s publicity, by evening, several groups of people had already gathered around.

With only four decks, a maximum of two games could be played at the same time, and everyone who had personally tried playing was deeply engrossed in it.

Some, more eager than others, relied on their powerful memory to record the information on every card.

Then, with the fastest speed, they found someone to help create several sets of Gwent Cards and brought them to the venue.

However, after playing a few games with these decks, the participants were surprised to find that although the Gwent Cards in their hands were still interesting as ever,

to them, it felt like a normal game, captivating certainly, but it seemed to lack something special.

It was that intoxicating, forgetful, and genuinely exciting element.

“It’s Spiritual Energy!”

Terry pushed up his glasses and summed up.

“The Gwent Cards you’re using are merely made of simple paper and are just printed products, no matter how beautifully crafted, they’re just quality toys.”

“Indeed, they have a fatal attraction for ordinary people, but for us, something is missing.”

“The cards in Roger’s and Hathaway’s hands, on the other hand, each one has been infused with Spiritual Energy. I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but during the game, our Spiritual Energy becomes more active.”

“For a long time after the game ends, perception and sharpness are heightened.”

The people surrounding nodded thoughtfully.

Terry might not look impressive, but he must be a senior academic researcher.

He pointed out many issues that even Roger hadn’t noticed.

“You see.”

With that, Terry performed a demonstration.

A flash of white light passed over his hand as he activated the energy within the card using his own Spiritual Energy as a base.

“Swoosh!”

The card’s images changed instantly, and the characters on them even made corresponding movements.

“How is this possible?”

“It’s unbelievable, what level of precise control does this require?”

By contrast, Terry shook his head.

“You’re only seeing the surface.”

“Observe the trajectory of the Spiritual Energy’s flow within the card…”

Gradually, some people began to notice a hint of something.

“It seems to be an independent system!”

“This thing must be used for more than just games, right?” someone exclaimed.

Instead of answering, Terry looked questioningly at Roger.

Roger smiled. If it weren’t for a random encounter, he would have thought Terry was a plant he had arranged himself.

“Don’t be hasty. We’ll explain these questions to everyone tomorrow. Today we just play cards, no talk of other things.”

After one afternoon, the entire open space was jam-packed.

Even though many knew their homemade cards didn’t have the same effect as Roger’s, they still played with enthusiasm.

It wasn’t until the end of the exchange event that they left reluctantly.

“I must come tomorrow.”

Each person leaving greeted Roger.

“Bring your Gwent Cards!” someone reminded.

Frankly speaking, Roger hadn’t expected the specially-made Gwent Cards in the cottage to awaken Spiritual Energy and be so intoxicating.

Essentially, his goal for the first day had been achieved. All that was left was to gradually expand his influence while infiltrating the fundamental principles of Gwent Cards.

There would always be smart people who would discover the secrets hidden behind them.

Meanwhile, in the most bustling central banquet hall of the manor, Miles, dressed in formal attire, had also just finished his presentation.

His theory had been accepted by many, and not long after the exchange ended, someone came to his side and discreetly handed him a piece of paper.

“This is currently the person most likely to become your competitor, Nicole has already taken care of the part with the line through it.”

Miles quickly flipped through it.

“What about Hathaway?”

“I remember Nicole once mentioned she caught Mrs. Egger’s attention.”

“Don’t worry, she should have given up by now. I’ve sent someone to check on her, she spent the whole day promoting her Spiritual Energy Game with a guy named Roger.”

“It’s called… Gwent Card.”

“Right, that’s the name.”

“Gwent Card?”

Miles paused, recalling the incident in the cafe, the danger lurking behind the young man’s smile that had startled him.

That was the intuition of a Spirit Medium.

“Gave up, it’s for the best.”

“Oh, and there’s one more thing.”

The visitor intoned.

“Nicole asked me to remind you, Mrs. Egger will be coming to the site tomorrow, you need to prepare well. You’re ranking quite high now, if you perform well tomorrow, the spot can basically be secured.”

The person sighed.

“I don’t know what the teacher was thinking, choosing their pupils in such a way.”

“Alright, I’ve said all I needed to say.”

“Looking forward to your joining.”

Having finished, they turned and left.

After the exchange ended, Roger and company left the island and took the boat back to the port.

Roger naturally had no intention of going to Henrik’s apartment, returning to the hotel with Hathaway, and the two of them did not leave the room at all after that, deeply engaging with each other.

Even the dinner was delivered right to their door by the service staff.

Of course, the conversation mainly revolved around the principles of Gwent Card and the issues of interpreting it, the two of them energetic, talking until late in the night.

Upon waking in the early morning, Roger still had abundant energy, but Hathaway, due to exhaustively guessing at Gwent Card’s operational principles the previous night, had exhausted a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy, and was a bit sluggish when she got up, much later than usual.

After breakfast, waiting a while longer, they could only catch the second wave of boats to the island.

What they didn’t know was, early in the morning, as soon as the manor opened, that previous vacant area gathered a lot of people.

At least twice as many as the previous afternoon.

“Why haven’t they come yet, could they have gone to a different area?”

These were the people who had deeply experienced the charm of Gwent Card yesterday.

“Is it really as marvelous as you’ve said?”

“A game made from cards infused with Spiritual Energy can indirectly stimulate our perception of Spiritual Energy?”

These were the skeptics who had come to watch after a friend’s recommendation.

“I’ve discovered the secret of the cards, I know the secret of the cards!”

Just then, a loud shout came from afar, followed by Terry running towards them with bloodshot eyes, waving the card in his hand.

“Roger, I’ve deciphered the mystery of the card!”

“Where’s Roger?”

Terry paused slightly.

“He hasn’t arrived yet.”

Someone replied.

“But what do you mean by ‘deciphered the secret of the card’?”

“I’ve found the reason why Gwent Card can enhance the activity of Spiritual Energy, and I’ve managed to deduce the principles of how Spiritual Energy operates from it, and then replicated it onto a new card.”

Terry proudly held up a card in his hand.

Looking at his eyes, it was clear that to break the card’s mystery, he must have stayed up all night and pushed his Spiritual Energy to the limit.

Meanwhile, Roger and Hathaway were also aboard the boat sailing towards the island.
