It hurts, it hurts.

Lin Xiao woke up from the darkness, held her head with a splitting headache, looked around, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Strange ceiling ......"

It's not a familiar rental house, but a small, cramped and dark loft.

The room was dark, with only a round of moonlight coming in from the window.

By the moonlight, the mirror reflected a handsome young man with short black hair, similar in appearance to Lin Xiao.

He has a long body, deep facial features, and extraordinary instruments.

There was a card on the desk, miscellaneous items around the wooden bed, and a stack of books on the bedside table.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, picked up the book, and browsed the titles in turn:

"Learn to make cards in 30 days"

Card Making: From Getting Started to Giving Up

"I am a card maker who is well versed in human nature"

Lin Xiao: "......"

Is there a problem with me, or is there a problem with these books?

Bang la blah.

Lin Xiao flipped through the last textbook.

"In three sentences, let the travel card master spend 180,000 yuan for me! I'm a card maker who is very good at getting travel card artists to pay for me, and I am well versed in human nature—"

In the quiet small pavilion in the middle of the night, a long sigh squeezed out of Lin Xiao's chest sounded.

"It's really hell to learn this."

Combined with these books and the current environment, Lin Xiao had a rough guess in his heart.

"I ...... Crossed? ”

The moonlight poured in, constantly pulling Lin Xiao's thoughts.

Lin Xiao grew up in the welfare college, and was admitted to 211 colleges and universities with her own efforts, and tried a variety of part-time jobs in order to repay student loans during college.

For example, online writers, game anchors, sewer repairers, and crosstalk supporters......

As the saying goes, 'three hundred and sixty lines, the line goes out of the forest night'.

Lin Xiao was therefore revered by his friends as the 'Emperor of Workers'.

After graduating, Lin Xiao joined a game manufacturer as a two-dimensional card mobile game planner called "Card Master's Guide".

Last night, Lin Xiao officially docked this new project, and as soon as she opened the folder, she was swallowed up by a strong sense of sleepiness.

After waking up from a headache, what I saw was the scene in front of me.

Lin Xiao rubbed her temples and took a deep breath.

"Don't panic...... Calm analysis. ”

"According to the online text routine, this is likely to be the game world of "Card Master's Guide".

"As the all-knowing and all-powerful planner of this game, my advantage is mine!"

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, hugged her head and sighed softly, regretting it.

"But I haven't even had time to understand the worldview."

It's come to this point, and I can only figure it out a little by myself... Lin Xiao closed his eyes and recalled carefully.

Fortunately, there are still memories of the predecessor in my mind, which can play a role similar to 'novice guidance'.

It's a card-based world called 'Blue Star'.

Cards are divided into three categories, instruments, spells, and spirits, which can be simply understood as instruments, spells, and summons.

Known cards are divided into zero to seven levels, and the higher the level, the more powerful the 'source power' it contains.

As for the seventh order and above, they have already entered the transcendent realm, and they are still not fully understood by the world.

Ordinary citizens can also use cards, but cards of the first rank and above can only be used by the 'card master'.

Card master is the most admired and glorious profession today, divided into two categories, card maker and travel card master.

Card maker, as the name suggests, is a profession that makes cards.

In this world, both spirits and monsters can produce "materials".

Card makers are able to 'synthesize materials' and craft them into cards with great power.

The Caravan is a profession that uses cards to fight.

They will grow along the way, dueling and pact with spirits; Or defeat the monster to get the material, and entrust the card maker to make the card.

Originally, the term 'card maker' encompassed both 'card maker' and 'card master', and a card master had to be proficient in both card making and card duels.

However, with the continuous refinement of the field and the limited energy of people, the card maker and the travel card master are gradually separated.

Under the coordination of the "Card Masters Association", a worldwide organization, the two will help each other and achieve a win-win situation in the form of 'commission'.

Lin Xiao's predecessor was a certified card maker.

Looking around the burrow, Lin Xiao muttered:

"The card maker can get mixed up with this...... This guy is really miserable. ”

This can't all be blamed on him, although the status of the high-level card maker is prominent, the status of the low-level card maker is not high, and if you want to get more resources, you still have to compete upward.

Formerly known as a 'first-order bronze card maker', he graduated from the federal famous high school 'Honeysuckle Middle School', and now works for the world's top 100 company "Leviathanya Group".

The "Leviathanya Group" spans a wide range of sectors and has almost a monopoly on the low-end card manufacturing business. For example, the 'airflow card' used in the shuttle car and the 'heating card' used in the heat cooker are all produced by this company.

As a world-class company, the Leviathana Group is an unrivaled behemoth with its size crushing some small countries and making political contributions to major countries except Middle-earth every year.

The predecessor was happy for a long time when he received the news of employment, but what was waiting for him was the dark task of making cards, and finally he collapsed in front of the card making table in the rented house due to exhaustion.

Memories come to an end.

Lin Xiao looked at the card-making table and sighed.

"The two of us are really sympathetic to each other, helpless, senior social animal ......"

Gently rubbing the unfinished cards on the table with her fingertips, Lin Xiao said seriously:

"But don't worry, I'll fulfill your wish - to go to the Middle-earth continent."

The ancestral home of this card maker is Zhongzhou, and he was abandoned by his parents in the Star Atlas City of the Federation since he was a child, and was taken in by the welfare institute, and was admitted to Honeysuckle Middle School with his own efforts.

When he grew up, he always longed for the rushing rivers and churning rivers of the Central Continent, and it is said that the heartbeat of Kui Long echoed in that great river.

The 'Free Federation' says freedom, but in fact it is not free, and there are extremely strict procedures for the entry and exit of civilians, and the scrutiny of card divisions is even better.

Because card master is not only an instabilizing factor in society, but also a human resource.

And Zhongzhou has always pursued the concept of inclusiveness, and constantly attracts card masters to join, which is exactly what the Federation does not want to see.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for card makers to leave the Federation and travel to Middle-earth.

But Lin Xiao also has her own considerations.

He would take the unfinished card with him back to the homeland that haunted him and the card maker.

Maybe the life after going back is still dull, and maybe the traces of his past life have long disappeared, but Lin Xiao still wants to go back to Zhongzhou to have a look......

Because the hometown is there, and nothing else.

"Someday, I'll take you back to Middle-earth." Lin Xiao promised.

Airplanes.

In Lin Xiao's surprised gaze, the card burned bright red lines.

Blood-boiling red threads continue to swim on the cards, gradually filling up the unfinished cards!

At the same time, a cluster of dazzling sparks sparked in the void.

An orange and yellow flame as hot as a heart floated in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at the tinder, stunned.

'Tinder' is the key for ordinary people to become card masters, and according to legend, it was originally guarded and brought to the world by a god who died to the death.

No one knows the exact way to light a fire.

According to the literature, the card master usually accidentally ignites the fire when the outside world is strongly stimulated, such as the death of a loved one, serious injury and near death.

But there are also card masters who naturally ignite the fire through meditation and inheritance.

Everything has a price, and lighting a fire is no exception.

Lin Xiao does not belong to this world and cannot light the fire on his own.

And his predecessor was able to be admitted to 'Honeysuckle Middle School', and he was extremely talented and mastered the skill of 'Passing on the Flame'.

There is a saying in the card master that 'when people die, the lights go out, and the fire lasts forever'.

It means that even if the card master dies, his fire will be reborn in reincarnation.

Therefore, for card masters, fire is more precious than life, and there are very few cases of voluntary giving.

But there is always something nobler than a tinder – a home, a promise.

Lin Xiao looked at the tinder in disbelief, and the tinder floated above the card and rushed towards him!

Sass.

Sensing the scorching heat, Lin Xiao subconsciously stretched out his palm to block it, but the fire directly sank into his palm.

The personal will mixed with the fire began to dissolve, and the fire turned into pure white, gradually impregnated with the color that belonged to Lin Xiao.

"Take it, my friend."

Lin Xiao faintly heard a gentle voice, and a large number of white points of light rose from the card, with relief, gratitude and apology in his voice.

"That's the only spark I have."

Lin Xiao stared up at the empty room blankly and opened her mouth slightly.

Those fire-like points of light gradually dissipated in the bright moonlight, and even the dust disappeared.

The room was quiet, and the second hand clicked relentlessly.

For some reason, Lin Xiao felt a wave of sadness in her heart, as if she had just parted with an old friend.

Lin Xiao lowered her head and looked at the palm of her right hand.

There is a pitch-black flame-like pattern.

From this moment on, it belongs to Lin Xiao alone.

A black tinder.

Different card masters' tinder will take on different colors.

The fire elemental affinity card master, the fire is mainly orange and yellow, red; Card masters who are friendly with the water element will show indigo and blue.

Tinder also sometimes reflects the character of the card master, such as the pure ivory white, the proud amber.

In the small pavilion shrouded in silence, Lin Xiao slowly clenched his palms and stood for a long time.

"Speaking of which, why is the color of my tinder pitch black......

The completed card on the table sounded with a gentle electronic sound.

[Tinder detected... Verifying the identity of the card driver... Verification failed】

[According to the regulations, it is being rebound for you... Binding Successful】

[Verifying the identity of the card master... The verification is successful, dear 'Lin Xiao' card master, please pick up the talent card and proceed to the next step. 】

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, picked up the brand-new card on the table, and a light curtain appeared in front of him.

[Card Name: Card Artist Guide]

[Existing Functions: Prayer, Synthesis, Card Deck, Blessing, Breakdown, Recharge]

You have a new email.

[Email content: "Card Master's Guide" is online for internal testing without deletion! ] At the beginning of the project, this game received extensive attention from card masters and topped the reservation list of major game lists. In order to thank all card masters for their strong support, we hereby present a 'Ten Consecutive Prayer Certificate'. "Card Master's Journey, Tinder Lasts Forever", I wish you a happy game! 】

[Attachment: Ten Prayer Certificate*1]

Lin Xiao was stunned.

I'll go, it's really the mobile game I'm the planner!

Teammates sacrifice to the sky, plug-ins online?

Glancing at the black tinder, and then at the "Ten Consecutive Prayer Certificate" in the email, Lin Xiao was a little hesitant.

Actually, I want to be sad for a long time, but this is free for ten times......

"Ahem!"

Lin Xiao made up her mind.

This world is full of dangers, and it is difficult to inherit the faith and return to Middle-earth.

In order to survive, you must be cautious and make reasonable use of the help of this plugin.

In short, the rest of the matter is put aside.

Let's start with a ten-shot prayer to test the water!
