"Oh, how can I persuade you, my friend, it's really not a good idea, it will consume the most precious and only youth in your life, and it may not be rewarded, um~, just like me."

"I've heard that you're very talented at card-making, so I think you should focus on that, and being a full-fledged cardmaker is no worse than being a card-drawing artist, at least after a high level, the status of the two is not about the same."

Don't let the illusory beauty tempt you into this bottomless pit, I think your intellect should heed my admonitions. ”

Qingyin Bao responded with a sincere smile to his friend's advice: "I understand what you mean, but knowing more about card painting will also help me on my path as a card maker, after all, the two are inseparable." Rest assured, my friend, I am in control of myself, at least I will not do anything desperate, and children of poor families are not qualified to be willful, unless I am absolutely sure. ”

"Well, at this point, I'm at least relieved, the cost of becoming a card artist is the most of the four professions, and the cost of picking... Well, if you're frugal, you shouldn't experiment with expensive kikas. ”

Qingyin did not refute, and the expression on his face was plausible.

If his idea can be true, it is okay to experiment with a few low-level kikas, he is not lacking in courage, and he is not as comfortable as others think.

However, it is also true that the capital is not enough for him to squander, and he still has to ask about the consumption of the drawing card.

"Is the cost of drawing cards really that big?"

"You should replace this sentence with an affirmative sentence, do you know how many kikas I scrap every month?" Kairel asked with a wry smile, and gave the answer without waiting for Qingyin's answer: "At least twenty three-star base cards, hundreds of two-star cards, as for one star, sorry, I really can't remember clearly." ”

Qingyin smacked his tongue secretly, and then suddenly realized: "I finally know where the low-level kika recovered by the school is used, it turns out that the card painters are a group of losers." ”

Keller shrugged his shoulders and agreed with his analogy: "Theoretically, if you don't succeed in creating new cards, these base cards are no different from playing water, and the base cards that fail to draw are just some nice trash that looks good, and even playing card games is too heavy. ”

"Can you tell me how you are a loser... Hmm~, I mean draw cards? ”

Even if he is surprised by the huge consumption of this profession, Qingyin is still immortal in the card thief, and the two mountains with high cost and high risk will naturally have the temptation of high returns, and he has heard Keller say before about the example of some card artists who become famous with one card and have unlimited scenery.

As long as you create even the lowest one-star card, you can get rewards and funding from the Federation; If you create a card with a practical effect, it can be sold for a lot of money even if it can't be mass-produced, after all, rare things are expensive, and the price of rare cards is generally more than ten times that of universal cards; If you create cards that are both useful and mass-produced, congratulations, you'll be a sought-after destination for the world, and countless opportunities to make money will follow.

The cost of purchasing the copyright of the Federal Card Factory, as well as the salary of the employee, the dividends from the sale of cards, the investment ······ of various forces, etc., etc., etc., each of which is a huge benefit, enough for ordinary people to squander their lives, not to mention the social status that comes with it.

There are many card artists who have created a fantasy card and never had to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.

It's fair to say that if you draw a new card, you'll be able to reach the top of your life, and the temptation is enough to ignore the extravagant prerequisites and gamble on it.

After all, there is no shortage of gamblers in any world, and although Qingyin is not a gambler, he has his own unique advantages, and there is no reason not to give it a try.

Under the expectant eyes of Qingyin, Keller said: "Conceive your creative ideas, from words to images, from types to effects, from general to details, the more detailed, the more reasonable the easier it is to succeed, when you feel about the same, take the base card corresponding to the card you conceived, communicate with Gensokyo, and frame your ideas in that world, if successful, it will remain in Gensokyo, and after completing this step, you will have a soul connection with your fantasy creation, In reality, the cards you are holding will change accordingly. ”

Hearing this, Qingyin found that he had finished speaking, and he was a little confused, so he couldn't help asking, "What has changed?" ”

"If the type of base card is appropriate, the star level is met, and it can be carried, the card will be officially completed, if it can't be carried, it will be scrapped, and if the drawing fails, the base card has also been injected with the power of Gensokyo, which is also equal to scrapping, and most of the consumed base cards belong to the latter, after all, if you successfully create a fantasy creation, as long as you find the right base card, you can complete the drawing, compared to it, the scrapping of a base card is not a loss."

This process was a little beyond Qingyin's expectations, and he was even a little incredulous: "It's so simple? ”

Keller smiled wisely, "You know, Qingyin, the simpler things in this world are, the more difficult it is to do, and Pica is one of them." ”

"This is not a simple matter, there are not too many requirements itself is the most variable requirements, in comparison, the complex card process is cumbersome and extremely demanding, but there are traces to follow, there is a clear road to go, there are not too many uncertainties."

He took a sip of juice and exemplified: "Reasonable fantasy is a contradiction in itself, and it hinders the scale of the cardmaster,

In another way, you will understand that if you want to create a new bio-type phantom beast, then you must not only conceive its body size, body structure, and behavioral details, but also make it have a reasonable diet, origin, survival mode, ability, reproduction mode, etc., etc., often creating a new type of phantom beast requires shaping a huge ecosystem and food chain, in which no matter which link exceeds the unknown rules, even if there is a problem in the smallest place, the creation will directly declare failure.

The worst thing is that you may not even be able to figure out what went wrong afterwards, and if you don't succeed once, you won't gain experience at all, although experience in this kind of thing may not be useful. ”

He had already made it clear, and Qingyin nodded and summed up his opinion: "I think I understand, fulfilling the duties of the creator with the mind of a mortal is itself a rebellious act, even in the special environment of Gensokyo, it only provides a certain margin for error and possibility. ”

Keller nodded and smiled, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "Your analogy is correct, the card painters are indeed a group of people who have stolen the power of creation, which is the reason why they are above other card professions, and it is also a bottleneck that restricts their development, or this is a disguised punishment for their blasphemy." ”

"I didn't think you still have the potential to become a religious believer, aren't you also a card artist?" Sensing the change in his tone, Qingyin couldn't help but shake his head and ask with a smile.

"I'm not counting it yet, but faith is free, I believe that there is a supreme being in the underworld who has created the magical and wonderful world in our eyes now, I will not fanatically think that he is the so-called god, and I will not pray every day to express gratitude for this, I will only believe."

"It's not faith, but I don't want to talk to you about something that has been going on for thousands of years, so let's talk about if there are any other things that need extra attention when drawing cards."

"There's nothing else to add.,There's only one thing to pay attention to.,When painting cards, you must ensure that the communication with Gensokyo is stable.,If you're halfway through the construction and suddenly disconnect from Gensokyo.,Then the previous efforts will be in vain.,Generally, even if there is a talented card painter who creates cards, he will also use the meditation landline to ensure stability.,No talent can't communicate independently The cardmaster can't do without it.,So,If you have to say that there are any prerequisites.,Meditation landline is also one.。

Keller made a gesture of pinching the card on his forehead to meditate, and then suddenly took it away and shook his head with a regretful expression.

"Meditation landline?"

Qingyin fell into deep thought when she heard this, touching her chin and not knowing what she was thinking.
