Chapter 2: White Impermanence
"Buzz—"
Just as Ji Nian was meditating, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate.
He had to pick up his phone and check the information.
It was a large group called [No. 3 Middle School Level 22 Card Students], and the group owner named [Teacher Li] had just posted a message:
"Students, the start of school is imminent, and a notice is hereby issued:
According to the latest announcement of the Card Maker Association, starting from 2022, the training of card makers in the third year of high school will adopt the [class system], that is, according to the quality of the first combat card created by the card maker.
Gray and white quality correspond to parallel classes, green quality corresponds to key classes, and blue quality corresponds to sharp knife classes. Different classes, different treatments, different resources.
It just so happens that the city is not very peaceful these days, and everyone can't move around at will, so stay at home and make cards. If there is any situation, feel free to contact the teacher. @全体成员"
Looking at the information on the screen, Ji Nian only felt that the dead memories were attacking him.
"Parallel classes, key classes...... It's a long-lost word......"
After shaking his head, Ji Nian fell into thought:
As we all know, except for some very special circumstances, the mental power level of high school card students is [Bronze] at the entry level.
At this level, the card maker can create four levels of card quality: gray, white, green, and blue.
"In other words, the blue card can basically represent the upper limit of high school students' card production."
Ji Nian leaned back in his chair and thought: "You can create such a card for the first time, even if it has the blessing of a 'special state', its gold content should not be underestimated." The league and the school are not without brains, and they will definitely throw resources at these open players. So...... The sharp knife class is a must. ”
Ji Young knocked on the table, then opened the drawer and took out the drawing pen, spiritual liquid, and blank cards that had been prepared by the predecessor.
It is said that "making cards is like cooking small fresh", and these are "kitchen utensils".
And he has the knowledge of Chinese mythology in his mind, which is a "state banquet-level recipe", as well as the basic skills of his predecessor to polish solidly, and he only needs to purchase some card-making materials as "ingredients" to cook a very amazing dish.
"It's just that the recipe is so thick that the chef doesn't know which dish to cook."
After thinking about it for a while, it was still fruitless.
With the idea of "since you don't know what to cook, let's go to the vegetable market and maybe you will be inspired", Chef Ji opened his favorites very simply, found a website called [Taoyuan Card Maker Online Material Library] and clicked on it.
With a heavy, oppressive background music, the page slowly jumps to a website with a dark style and simple design.
Its layout style looks a bit like shopping platforms such as Taomaomao and Xixi, and the actual function is the same, but the things sold are extremely "underworld":
Summoning Materials: [Headless Warrior] (Blue), [Fangliang Ghost] (Blue), [Rotten Intestine Servant] (Blue), [Corpse Demon] (Green), [Vase Girl] (White), [Village Keeper] (Gray)......
Item Materials: [Wraith Shackles] (blue), [White Manrod] (blue), [Copper Coin to ward off evil spirits] (green), [Evil Guillotine] (green), [Jade Cicada] (white), [Bloodstained Costume] (gray), ......
Looking at the terrifying and treacherous product pictures on the page, Ji Nian suddenly remembered: his city is known as a "ghost town" because it is adjacent to Taoyuan Secret Realm, which is one of the four ghost nests in the Kyushu region.
The local powerful card master adheres to the principle of "relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water", and has to go inside for a walk if there is nothing to do, and the ghost cards and materials collected are too many for their own people to use, and they often have to be sold online.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the city's material library is all "underworld" things.
This is also a reminder to the Chronicles: living in such a place, it is best to restrain the "dirty stuff" with the cards created in the early stage.
Excluding [Hou Tu Niang Niang], [Emperor Xudu], and [Jizo King], which are powerful targets that are impossible to create with his current spiritual power, the range of choices will be further narrowed.
"It's nothing more than the judge's misdemeanor, fighting ghosts and strangers, and the like......"
Looking at the pictures on the webpage, Ji Nian thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and with a flick of his fingers, he selected the four materials of [Fangliang Ghost], [Rotten Intestine Servant], [White Manpole], and [Ghost Shackles], and a portrait of a god also slowly unfolded in his mind:
Dressed in white and wearing a high hat, with a wry smile.
Crying and mourning, making money at first sight.
White impermanence, poor ghosts, and handsome underworld.
His real name is Xie Bi'an, known as Xie Qiye, and his righteous brother Hei Wuchang is in charge of hooking up the soul and arresting the ghosts, and he is a famous ghost and god in Chinese folk.
Whether it is strength positioning or skill expertise, it is very suitable for him at this stage.
If he can invite this person, he will not talk about walking sideways in this city, at least he will have a certain amount of security, and he can enter the secret realm at any time to make money, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
"Bought it!"
With a wave of his hand, Master Ji dragged the selected four materials into the shopping cart, and watched the settlement column jump from zero to 350,000, and couldn't help but take a deep breath:
Unlike the willful and chic of those powerful card masters, the ordinary residents and middle-class and low-level card masters living in this city are not rich, and even a little miserable.
In my memory, the parents of the predecessor who worked in the city's War Card Masters Association were sacrificed in a secret realm out of control incident two years ago, leaving only this house and less than 300,000 deposits.
Although the association also sent 500,000 yuan in compensation afterwards, it is a "huge amount" of more than 700,000 yuan, which is really not enough in front of the gold-swallowing discipline of card making.
After more than two years of study, even if the predecessor was frugal, there would be 380,000 left. If you buy these materials, there's basically nothing left.
But when he thought of the importance of the card [White Impermanence], as well as the various welfare subsidies that he would receive after successfully making the card and taking off the "apprentice" hat, Ji Nian still clicked "OK" without hesitation.
"It turns out that if you want to enter the sharp knife class, you must not only have talent, but also wealth...... Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, the class jump is not easy. ”
Ji Nian sighed with emotion, flipped through the webpage for a while, and was ready to get up and move his body.
"However, if the quality of the materials is good, the initial quality and level of the cards will be higher, so you will not lose money if you spend money early and enjoy it early, and you will not lose ...... after all."
"Bang! Bang! ”
The sudden sound of percussion interrupted Ji Nian's thoughts.
When he heard the sound, he saw a bird carrying a messenger's bag on his body and eagerly beating the glass with his wings.
"So fast?"
Seeing this, Ji Nian hurriedly stepped forward to open the window, and the cold and dense rain broke into the house.
The bird tilted its head to look at him, as if to confirm whether the person in front of him was a buyer, and then quickly took out a tightly wrapped envelope from the mail bag with its beak and opened it in front of the chronicle, revealing the four material cards inside.
After confirming that the year was correct and signing the receipt of goods, he fled into the wind and rain.
