Divine Card Creator

Qing Ming City.

Qian Shengcai received good news early in the morning.

The cracking was successful!

Humph.

When he got the card, as expected, the encrypted lines had been canceled. The process had been completed after going through professional equipment!

“Come, make a copy of it.”

Qian Shengcai passed the card happily to the Card Creator at his store.

“Okay.”

The Card Creator looked at the card and turned green.

What the hell was this?

The lines…

Oh, illusion lines. They were simple. What about underneath it?

The fog…

He could not understand them at all!

Wait, this seemed to be similar to some of the card fragments that he used to study.

He could not understand some of the lines of those cards and he specially asked his teacher, only to realize that it was a term that was beyond this level. It was…

“Lamination?”

He was surprised.

“What?”

Qian Shengcai was stunned.

“Lamination!”

“The real high-level card creating technique!”

The Card Creator explained before saying, “This is completely out of my reach.”

Qian Shengcai was dumbstruck.

Lamination?

How could Lu Ming, that fellow, master lamination?

As a chain store manager, he had seen such cards before! Qing Ming City was not a big city. It was impossible to have such Card Creators here!

Damn it!

It was no wonder Lu Ming was not worried at all!

It was no wonder the people from the encryption organization looked odd when they handed the cards over to him.

Damn it. They were waiting to see how he made a fool of himself!

“Let me think.”

Qian Shengcai was deep in his thoughts. He gripped his hair tightly until strands of his hair kept falling before he thought of a solution.

“Perhaps…”

…

Right then…

The sales at Lu Ming’s shop was still sluggish.

Although there was slightly more businesses now, the card was not selling fast. Lu Ming was not anxious. He sold the cards with Xiaobai while drawing more cards, not feeling the least bit worried.

He did not have high expectations. It was fine as long as the cards could be sold within a few days.

However…

At noon, the sales of Leviathan suddenly shot up!

Skyrocketed!

And again!

The popularity of Leviathan shot up ten times within an hour.

“What is going on?”

Lu Ming was shocked.

One must know…

His influence was limited. In his opinion, it was enough as long as he could reach a small part of Qing Ming City and a few hundred of them was willing to buy the card!

But right now…

It was more widely searched on the Internet than the Fruit Ninja!

It was scary!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Its popularity was increasing madly.

Zhang Chun was given a fright. He was about to give up, but then he began his research again with red eyes.

Qian Shengcai was taken aback as well. It was ten times crazier than he had imagined. The popularity of Leviathan had caused a huge sensation and uproar!

What the hell happened?

Nobody knew!

“Boss, get me a card.”

“Boss, get me two cards.”

“Boss, get me ten new cards.”

…

More and more people turned up to buy the cards.

Lu Ming had sold out all of his cards at the shop within half an hour!

Lu Ming took a long time to come back to his senses.

What the hell was this?

Were these people injected with chicken blood?

The Leviathan should only have gotten popular a few days later.

He did not understand.

He went outside the shop to take a look. Those cultivators were still chatting about cultivation as per normal. The entire Qing Ming City did not seem as if they were crazy about the “Leviathan” Card.

It had nothing to do with rearing a Leviathan.

In that case, what was this hot sale about?

“Boss, get me a Pet Card.”

One person walked in.

“There’s no more left.”

Lu Ming sighed. The man left in disappointment.

“Wait a minute.”

Lu Ming suddenly asked. “Where did you get this news from? Why did all of you come here to buy Leviathan Card?”

“I don’t want to tell you.”

The man was very honest.

There was a look of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ming.

Hell… what kind of expression was that?

Bitter women?

It seemed as if he had dumped him…

“One card.”

Lu Ming glanced at him. “If you tell me the reason, I will create a card right now and sell it to you.”

The person thought about it before agreeing.

Very soon.

Lu Ming created the card and passed it to him.

“You can check out the Summoners panel and you will understand.”

The man whispered.

Summoners?

Lu Ming looked bewildered.

He opened the cultivator forum and switched to the Summoners panel. He had a shock.

Summoners panel!

Everyone in the highly popular vocational panel was discussing Leviathan!

What was going on?

Lu Ming looked through several threads and found out the reason.

Things were simple at first.

A fairly strong Summoner bought a “Leviathan” Card. He found it very interesting and posted a thread about it on the Summoners panel of the cultivator forum.

Then…

It exploded!

It went out of control!

It evoked all the Summoners’ desire to speak up on the Internet.

Especially when they noticed that the card stated that it was the “first Pet Card in history”, and it could really summon things!

Because—

They were frightened.

Many other Summoners bought the Leviathan Card and joined the discussion.

It was to the extent that…

Individual Summoners made a special trip to Lu Ming’s shop to buy the card. They were given a huge shock after using the card.

“Could there really be a Pet Card in this world?”

“If the Pet Card exists, what is the use of the Summoners?”

“The concept of the Leviathan is similar to the summoned beast that we summoned to be our companion. The only difference was one-time usage or multiple usage?”

“Will the Pet Card become stronger?”

“Will there be a Pet Card that provides multiple usage?”

…

There were all sorts of questions in the forum. The Summoners were at a loss. With the introduction of the Pet Card, it was a huge blow to their career!

Everyone was in a frenzy!

If everyone had a Pet Card, they would have become a Summoner! There was no need for a Summoner anymore! They no longer had the motivation to cultivate!

“I won’t cultivate anymore!”

“What’s the point?”

“What the hell is the Pet Card?”

“Damn. I have just become a Summoner, and now there is the Pet Card?”

That day… was the day that Summoners had an emotional breakdown.

“All of you can sell barbecued fish…”

Lu Ming looked through the threads and wrote a comment. He hesitated for a while and did not dare to send it.

Well…

He might probably be beaten to death.

“Can any big shot give us an explanation?”

“Help is needed!”

“I couldn’t cultivate for the entire day!”

“Has Lu Ming rendered the Summoner vocation useless?”

“Ah… help!”

Many Summoners were crying for help.

It was to the extent that… Some legendary figures felt threatened as well.

This was serious.

Their foundation had been shaken! Their entire industry, the Summoner that ranked the top ten in the most popular vocation was dealt with a huge blow!

How could they keep quiet about it?

“This won’t do. I have to go to the Card Creators Association to ask around.”

“Me too.”

“Owner of the previous thread +1.”

All of the Summoners had been into the discussion.

There were one-star Summoners, two-star, three-star or stronger.

Card Creators Association, Illusion Association…

The group of Summoners water army decided to flood all available forums that discussed techniques with their questions. They had been posting numerous threads crazily asking for help, seeking to know the truth behind the card.

The number of people discussing it was shocking!

It was said that…

The president of the Summoners Association who was in retreat was alerted as well.

He personally sent this card to the Card Creators Association, getting his old friend to look through personally, before returning to the Summoners Association, writing a few words to pass to the association.

“No impact.”

“No conflict.”

“Wait and see.”

The panicking Summoners finally quietened down.

However…

The novices who just joined were still very fidgety.

It was not that they did not believe what the big shot said. Although the Pet Card had no impact on the Summoners industry, what about the novices?

What about those low-level Summoners?

It was said that the Pet Card was a low-level card!

Hence…

The fidgety novices continued to post numerous threads on all sorts of forums. They were into crazy discussions about the pros and cons of the card, as well as the impact on the Summoners industry.

The craze had not died down.

In fact, it went wild.

Even more heated discussions.

“I never expected it to be this way.”

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

He had not expected that the Summoners would be involved. But come to think of it, the Pet Card he created had indeed touched their sore spot.

He really did not mean it!

However, thanks to them and the Summoners, the “Leviathan” Card was widely discussed on the cultivators forum, and all the cards were sold out!

This was the most important of all!

“It ended ahead of time!”

Lu Ming looked at the income on the account book. His heart jumped a beat as the amount was astounding.

There was a total of three hundred cards. Each card cost two thousand yuan. The sales amounted to a total of six hundred thousand yuan. Since he spent about one hundred thousand yuan on the creation costs, the net profit was as high as half a million. It was an alarming figure!

The money…

Lu Ming was slightly excited.

The hard work for this half a month was worth it!

The final profit for Fruit Ninja was only slightly more than one hundred thousand yuan.

And this time?

The money that he invested in was already higher than the final profit of the Fruit Ninja, and he had very high returns from it.

He had made a lot of money!

He had made lots of money!

It was a total of six hundred thousand yuan!

He had never made such a large amount of money in his previous life!

Oh.

By the way, now that he had money, he could buy the shop first!

Lu Ming felt proud.

How much did this shop cost?

He did a search on the Internet. Well… it was located at the downtown area, the monthly rental was nine thousand yuan, and one square meter cost sixty-nine thousand…

He could not afford it!

Lu Ming’s inflated ego calmed down right away.

Steady!

He must be steady!

Lu Ming kept telling himself to calm down.

He was very clear that by tomorrow, once the encryption technique had been cracked, the core mechanism of the card would be available to all!

By then…

Illegal imitations… no, there was no way to stop people from making pirated copies of it!

Once the encryption was cracked, all they needed to do was to make copies of it. There would be Leviathan Cards all over the place. By then, he would make public its copyright.

This was Lu Ming’s original plan.

When he could no longer make money from it, he would make public its copyright.

“I should sell more of the cards now that it is still popular.”

Lu Ming felt energized.

Today.

He decided to pull an all-nighter!

However…

Just then, there was a familiar figure at the door.

“Brother Lu, Brother Lu!”

Zhang Xiaopang looked to be very excited. “I heard that you have sold all your cards?”

The word “heard” was used in a subtle way.

PS: ‘Thank you, Yue4 Shang4 De4 Tuo1 Fu2’, yet another leader~ I will do my best to write this book! It was said that the starting point and punctuation marks do not count as chargeable words. I am very certain! The reason why I am so sure is because before, I did not write enough words… and I failed. o(╯□╰)o
