[Updates]
I am very grateful to be receiving precious info from many members here. I think most of the comments are very helpful and I actually gathered many view from the general population. However, I do want to say that even though my topic "sounds" dangerous or unusual for many people, I am actually in good financial status and I am not wanting to do anything to destroy my credit or anything bad. I just want to reassure that everything is fine and I am looking forward to some interesting and unique advises on this matter. It is just brainstorming. I have received enough feedback that is concerning the negative side of things and I do appreciate these feedback. I definitely gonna make good use of the info and carefully consider my action. However, I also know what I am doing so please do not need to worry. I am paying all the bills on time now and into the future. Some people regard this as credit card fever. If the fever is something I can afford, is the fever a wrong thing? Am I hurting the others? I have all the cards without annual fees and set up auto payments for each of them. All of them include monthly donations to charity so they are all alive. This is just a brief statement to clarify my situation. By the way, I do have the income to pay off all of the balances.
Hi, I have applied around 9 credit cards last year, around 1 card monthly. I put one month between each application. Since I will be moving soon, I think it will be harder for my future card applications because credit card companies are sensitive to address change(I guess?). So I just want to apply for more before my move. Currently I have BBVA clearpoints, Discover, HSBC Gold, Amex Blue cash everyday, Amex Cash magnet that are pre-approved but I have not decided which to apply next yet. One more factor to consider is I might have to apply for privat student loans this year so I am aware of my scores. My current Fico 8 score is 715. Utilization 1%. Currently has 5 hard inquiries. 10 year history. Or, I might apply for auto loan......but most likely I will not apply for external loans if my current student loans can sustain. Let me know what are your thoughts 
I wouldn't apply for any new cards for at least a year.
I don't think that's a good idea or very valid. Proving your capability doesn't necessary require you to have 20 cards or 30 cards. In today's credit game - many cards over lap so effectiveness of every card diminishes.
Simple example - If you spend $100 a month on gas.
2% CB Card - $2 a month
3% CB Card - $3 a month
4% CB Card - $4 a month
5% CB Card - $5 a month
Going from a 2% to a 5% card is understandable depending on how much gas you spend. Going from 4% to 5% isn't a big jump (again depends on how much gas is spent monthly).
Keep in mind - credit is also based on income. If your income supports it, you can get credit, if not, then sooner or later, it can be taken away. Also, don't get cards just because you want them, get cards that benefit you, cards that can work for you.

Just open multiple tabs in your browser and submit all the apps you want. Your scores will be just fine; you might even get a bump in your socres.

Like the other posters have suggested, I don't recommend you applying for more cards. If you feel you "need" more credit/buying power, grow your existing cards via soft pull inquiries if possible. New accounts will keep resetting your AoYA. Time and patience is what is needed here. Good luck to you.
