Ji Nian stretched out his hand to brush away the ribbon that fell on his shoulder, and was a little unable to open his eyes by the spotlight.

"Ji Nian, how do you feel at this moment?"

"Ji Nian, have you ever thought about how to use it after you get the reward?"

"Today is November 18, 2022, and there are still 200 days before the college entrance examination.

"As a genius from an ordinary family and a genius who established the position of the head of the same period, do you have anything to say to those juniors and sisters who are also from ordinary backgrounds but have the dream of being a card teacher?"

Through the scarlet cordon, reporters with long guns and short cannons on their shoulders struggling to squeeze forward, all with hideous faces and grinning teeth, no better than the zombies in post-apocalyptic movies.

In this era when cards are king, card makers are truly stars.

"Well, there must be happiness, but more, it's still tired."

Under the spotlight, Ji Nian put away the Nian Beast and walked forward while answering, with a warm smile on his face.

But anyone can see the tiredness and exhaustion hidden under the infinite scenery.

Yes, a card master from a civilian background, even if he is talented and rare in the world, it is not easy to stand in this forest of geniuses.

Looking at the young but resolute face, everyone present thought of the sentence: "One minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage."

can come this far, and I don't know how much hard work this kid has wasted.

With his brain making up, he listened to Ji Nian continue:

"How to use rewards...... To be honest, there are no ideas yet. ”

"I didn't dare to think about it before, but now that the reward is in hand, my head is empty, but I'm afraid that it will take a long time to polish."

He smiled and continued, "As for the champion...... Which card maker has never imagined the scene of 'the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the peach flowers in one day'? Naturally, I want to. ”

He said, paused, and shook his head slightly: "It's just that I'm not sure if I'll be able to work that hard. ”

"Ji Nian, I just said, work hard?" A reporter asked.

"Yes, many students think that the Taoyuan Ghost and the Green Mountain Demon King are inspired and talented, but in fact they ......"

The champion lowered his eyes, and under the shadow of the mountain, everyone couldn't see his expression clearly: "I have also suffered the pain of kneeling and begging for a word on a cold and rainy night. ”

"Make up a story...... It's really hard. ”

When the words fell, there was silence and silence.

Generally, in interview scenes like this, most people like to slap their swollen faces and become fat.

There are really very few words as "real" as chronicles.

This makes everyone feel more real, and also dispels the doubts and suspicions of some of the same class.

"On a cold and rainy night, kneel and beg for a word......"

This sentence alone is reminiscent of a scene:

In the late summer afternoon, it was rainy and rainy.

In the small room, old table lamps silently dispel the darkness.

A young man in an old white-haired school uniform, with bloodshot eyes, slumped on a chair, his hair messy, and crumpled manuscript paper everywhere.

A civilian card master who has no backers, no resources, and only his own has suffered such an ordeal that he can stand with those family geniuses.

Such a scene, just thinking about it, is shocking.

"Sure enough, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname."

That's what many people think.

"Ji Nian may not have that evil spirit, but this stubbornness and hard work for card making can definitely afford the word 'card demon'."

People naturally don't know that in the distant Tang Dynasty, there was a great poet named "Bai Juyi".

Maybe never get a chance to know.

As a result, his character was attributed to the "big ghost".

"But...... I don't think so...... Champions come from the pain they have suffered. ”

"Glory, to Kaling."

"I have always firmly believed that there really exists such a world in the starry sky of the universe, with a brilliant civilization and a prosperous spirit."

"My Karling, those heroic heroes, mythical figures, live in this world."

"And I, on the other hand, just had the privilege of resonating with them."

"To be able to act as a narrator to tell their stories to the public, so that they can shine again in this world."

These words are beautiful.

People don't think that Ji Nian is deliberately saying good and obedient to everyone.

After all, no one can show such a sincere look.

At first glance, it is the voice of the heart that has been buried for an unknown amount of time.

"Such humility, such feelings, and words are good......"

"If you don't say that someone else can be a champion."

"Hurry up and memorize these few sentences into a good word and sentence book, and use them when writing essays in the future."

In front of the TV, many parents patted their children on the shoulders with emotion, and tears flashed in their eyes.

Ji Nian probably guessed the reaction of everyone at this time.

"I'm not lying this time." He said in his heart.

Then he looked at the vast night sky and continued: "But back to reality, I have to admit that in order to resonate with them, in addition to suffering unbearable pain from ordinary people, you also have to have a certain talent. ”

"From scratch, shaping a life from scratch, card making is indeed a very rewarding thing."

"But again, it's not easy to make a card."

"Even a gifted person like me is researching almost all the time, and then ...... What to do cards, think of headaches. ”

"That's how to make cards, it's painful and happy."

"As a card maker, I can't just say good and bad, boil a big pot of chicken soup and feed it to my younger brothers and sisters."

"It's better to be practical than to talk about things that don't matter."

The words fell, and everyone present held their breath.

Even the audience in front of the screen subconsciously straightened up, curious about what else this "hard-working" genius had to say.

"I decided to ......"

Ji Nian paused, raised his head slightly, and looked at the vast and starry sky.

"Put more thought into it, and based on one of your main battle cards, design a set of card templates that are not expensive materials, are not difficult to make, are suitable for newcomers, and have a considerable upper limit."

"Fresh graduates in Taoyuan, and even in the whole of Qingshan, as long as they pass the identity authentication and submit a small fee to the local card maker association, they can get the one-time production permission of this set of cards."

"Students majoring in battle cards, repair, enhancement and other subjects can also buy such a card for newcomers at a low price."

"Don't talk about self-defense, everyone has to confirm what they have learned, and they also have a grasp."

"As for the copyright agreement that everyone is most concerned about...... I will also have serious discussions with the teachers of the association and try to hand over a set of plans that everyone is satisfied with. ”

As he spoke, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face showed the determination and vigor that belonged to a teenager:

"To be honest, I don't just feel sorry for my younger brothers and sisters and want to do something for them......"

"I have my own ambitions."

"I once imagined such a picture:"

"In the land of Kyushu, there are not only academics and competition schools like us, but also travel schools who read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."

"Before they set off, they would get a very local starter card at the local association and set out on a journey with them."

"During this period, we will continue to strengthen this card and make or encapsulate new cards, and walk around the land of Kyushu and other regions on the premise of ensuring safety."

"No matter what kind of goals or beliefs they have, the 'traveling card masters' can go to the nearest battle card field when their eyes meet, and have a hearty card battle."

"After a long time, what I have learned has been confirmed, and my actual combat ability has also been greatly improved."

"And the honor of my generation of card makers is no longer just a simple way to make more cards, make good cards, and sell more cards."

"Just imagine, the rookie card panel you worked so hard to design appeared in the streets and alleys, in the hands of one vigorous teenager and girl after another."

"What kind of accomplishment would that be?"

Ji Nian turned his head, his gaze swept over everyone present, and then focused on the TV in the middle.

If you say, just now, he is a life-playing civilian card master who makes people empathize and sincerely admire.

Now he really has a bit of a hegemonic momentum of "daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky".

The times create heroes, and heroes can also create the times.

"Newcomer card" and "travel card division", people suddenly realized that the "talent" of the young man in front of them is not only reflected in the aspect of card making.

The big ghost of Taoyuan is worthy of its name.

It's just that this "ghost" refers to the "ghost talent".

"I'm just a student, and I don't know if the 'era of cardholders' will really come."

"And the 'Starter Card' ......"

Ji Nian smiled and said, "Actually, it's been there for a long time." ”

It is only based on home and school, and it has not spread.

Starter Card Template ...... It's not simple to make.

It's a different concept from building a single, powerful card.

Looking at Taoyuan, and even Qingshan, there are only a handful of people who can make it.

And card masters like to keep one hand, and card templates like this that can be widely reproduced like this like are like to keep for their own homes.

After all, who doesn't want to prop up a card master family?

As for letting it out to make money......

Again, money is only useful in the early stage.

And now, what is needed most is money.

"Actually...... Money is also only an accessory, and most importantly, fame! ”

"No one can make cards with their heads, and I have to use 'human hope' to support many cards in the future."

Card Master is a profession with a high ceiling.

When you go to the back, you have to raise the power of the whole city and even the whole country at every turn.

For example, the president of the Taoyuan Card Maker Association, the founder of the [Strange Rules] series of fields.

Although he has long left the city and retreated, to this day, there are traces of him in Taoyuan City:

The Elephant Zoo, the non-existent Morrowind Middle School, the Aquarium that closes at night, the Amusement Park at dusk......

They are all famous forbidden places in Qingshan, and they are also a powerful help for him on the road to making cards.

If Ji Nian wants to become an equally powerful, or even more terrifying card master, he can't do without the word "popularity" no matter what.

It's not impossible to really be an "island", but the difficulty of breaking through in the later stage will be several times higher, or even dozens or hundreds of times.

"Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high." Ji Nianxin said.

Although the fire was for him, others could follow suit.

The best of both worlds.

"In the past few months, I was a newcomer and I was afraid to do anything."

"The money is not enough to spend, and I dare not sell the cards, for fear of being targeted by someone."

"It's different now."

"I am a well-known genius card maker in Qingshan, a 'Gu' who was hard to kill in the era of unified training and genius blowout."

"Card production is the primary productive force."

"The genius card maker is almost the same as the 'Eight Hundred Miles Expedited', what dare you learn, come to a 'genius will always die'."

"It won't be long before you will be surrounded by alliance masters."

"The area within a radius of more than ten miles will be emptied directly."

"I'm afraid that he will become something else and run away, the ant hole will be filled with aluminum water, the earthworm will split vertically, and the mountain eggs will have to be shaken apart."

"Although it is indispensable to defend against people, but now I have taken advantage of this game to be gilded and have the confidence to face the wind and rain."

As the champion of the Castle Peak Cup, some eyes are inevitable.

Let's make the sun hotter and brighter!

Taking a few deep breaths, Ji Nian smiled, but his words still maintained an unstoppable momentum:

"There can't be only one type of newbie card in a city."

"We might as well take 'three' as the base ......"

After speaking, Ji Nian raised his eyes, and his tone was serious and full of fighting spirit: "Let's have a game." ”

"I, Aoyama Card Master, Ji Nian, am willing to launch a challenge to my colleagues in Kyushu."

"There are four regions and 36 provinces in Kyushu, and some regions have the same characteristic varieties."

"For example, Qingshan and Youdu, although the material categories are very rich, they are still mainly ghouls."

"In that case, we'll count them into a starter deck."

"In this way, the entire Kyushu needs about eight or nine sets of beginner card sets."

"That is, immortals, Buddhas, gods, demons, demons, emperors, generals, birds, beasts, fish and insects, grass and tree spirits, mechanism creations, rule manifestations and other categories."

"And the challenge I'm going to do is ......"

"Before I graduated from college, I had eight or nine rookie decks with a card I designed."

"I want to come to my colleagues and seniors, and I don't want the novice cards of my hometown to come from the hands of outsiders."

"Then make three impeccable new cards to convince the juniors."

"Let me have none of the cards in my deck."

After speaking, the young man, who was still full of fighting spirit just now, suddenly lowered his eyes.

"It's just that the younger generation is from a civilian background, and if you lose the bet, you won't be able to get anything."

"If the seniors are willing, after I lose, as long as I see you, I will perform the disciple salute and shout 'teacher'."

"Of course, if the seniors let me, let the juniors be lucky enough to have their own cards in these rookie decks."

"Then the juniors will have the cheekiness to go to the seniors' homes for a few days to solve some questions about card making."

"At that time, I will have to trouble the teachers."

In addition to being polite, there is also a bit of youthful cunning, as well as a card maker's expectation for a higher realm.

The top card makers from all over the world in front of the screen couldn't help but have fun, and they all found this challenge very interesting.

There is a filter of "genius card maker", and they have a good impression of Ji Nian from the beginning.

I don't think it's a provocation.

It's just a good idea of an excellent posterity.

The young card masters are full of complexity and admiration for the chronicles.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ji Nian launched this challenge in order to benefit thousands of civilian card masters and some family card masters who are "difficult to make/war".

The benefits that can be obtained are just the teachings of some masters.

To put it bluntly, this is a genius card master who has been drenched in the rain himself and has to hold an umbrella for others, and has the heart to help the world.

This is no less than the pattern of the founder of Okyushu.

As for the huge amount of money, everyone didn't care about it - it was just dung.

Fame is even less worth mentioning.

At the end of the day, it's a world where the strong are kings.

Only with strength can you be famous, and if you don't have strength, it is in response to the word "false name".

A mirage, light shifts and is lost.

"This man will have a great future in the future."

This is the first thought that comes to mind for all who see this.

Hard work, stubbornness, talent, and pattern and benevolence......

Jingxing is rampant, magic cards are coming, resources are in short supply, and visions are frequent, and in recent times, all kinds of major events have continued.

Before, it was still turbulent, but now it is the times that are raging and the waves are raging.

The eve of the storm is long gone, and they are now in the eye of the storm!

It's just that Qingshan is located in a remote area, not counting the offensive focus of Jingxingjiao, and the psychological quality and comprehensive ability of the card master are also very good, so it is a little calm.

But even so, everyone's heart is like a falling stone.

And the appearance of such a genius as Ji Nian is no less than a shot in the arm.

It is enough to make those gray and gloomy hearts bright for a few days.

"Okay, okay...... I'm ...... Kyushu"

In the crowd, a white shirt and draped pants, a bookish middle-aged man wiped tears with his palms entangled with black lines.

His eyes were red, but he had a smile on his face.

He wasn't wrong.

Or rather, he saw the wrong person.

This kid is far better than he expected.

"Such a magnanimity and ...... mind"

"It's the real confidence of the card maker."

The momentary emotional excitement and big action made Xie Wenyuan hit Jing Poison's arm, and he was in severe pain.

So much so that the veins on his head and neck bloomed, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

But his face was still full of excitement.

It was only very soon that the excitement wore away, and he became self-reproachful again.

"This kid has such a big mind and pattern, so how could he be a 'Taoyuan ghost' before?"

"It must be that I don't care enough to make him think that he has no backer."

"You can only turn into a 'hedgehog' in this form and protect yourself."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and gasped: "I...... almost ruined a good material and almost became a Kyushu ...... Sinners ......"

"Fortunately, everything was ...... in time"

Xie Wenyuan relaxed a little, and couldn't help but look at his arm covered with "Jingshen Relic-Poison": "I don't know if I can see that day......"

At the same time, after a brief period of restlessness.

Ji Nian also hugged him and stood on the podium.

From now on, his life will be very different.

After the plane has taxied the runway, the next step is to take off completely!

"Congratulations to Taoyuan for winning the championship of the high school group of the Qingshan Cup!"

With the host's emotional shout, the whole night echoed with cheers.

Gao Sheng, who had a pale face, slightly sunken cheeks, and two dark circles under his eyes, couldn't help but sniff in the face of everyone's meaningful gaze, subconsciously don't turn his head, and forcibly not cry.

Ren Wang, who is ranked third, has eased up after a few days of adjustment, but the fear of Ji Nian in his heart has always lingered.

As a card maker with outstanding mental strength, he knew that he must have encountered something extremely terrifying in that dream.

It's just that I racked my brains and couldn't remember.

"I can only take the time to ask Brother Nian."

Yes, he was completely convinced, and decided to mix with Ji Nian.

This is not a shame in the world of card masters.

"Let's arrange a transfer tomorrow."

He said in his heart.

And Ji Nian also received his prize at this time:

"Godhead shards, template materials, bonuses, villa keys...... Well, just five years of residency, it's really enough to deduct ......"

"Wait...... What is this? ”

Looking at the golden locket in the prize pile that kept emitting black gas, Ji Nian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
