Chapter 67: Are You Misunderstood about Card Creator?

“Is it because of the Lighting Original Card?”
Lu Ming glanced at the optimized lines.
The integration of The Lighting Original Card would suppress the lines performance to the maximum. Naturally, cards with optimized lines were also in their optimal state!
This was similar to the basic drawing lines for the Bulls Card.
This was…
A technique that far exceeded what was out there!
“If I could pick it up…”
Lu Ming’s heart was stirring.
He foresee that the impact was not only restricted to this card!
If he could learn the Optimization technique, would he be able to lower the requirement of all three-star cards such that they could be utilized at the two-star level?
Did this mean that…
He could really skip a level in his card creation?!
Also…
Lu Ming very much wanted to know whether his cultivation efficiency would increase upon the optimization of the lines.
Why did he always consume so much energy during cultivation?
It was because of inefficiency!
Although he could advance by one hundred points a day with the Demolition Card, the ultra low efficiency caused him to waste a lot of resources each time he did so!
If he could increase his efficiency, he might be able to advance at a faster rate!
This was very meaningful.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Inside the shop.
There was only the faint sound of his pen.
In the next two days, Lu Ming was immersed in studying the knowledge regarding Optimization.
Optimization was similar to encryption. It was relatively unique and could be classified as another subsection of core Card Creator knowledge. Some people could not be bothered to pick up this knowledge even when they attained four or five-star level.
This was a complete set of systems.
If one wanted to learn it, it might consume a lot of their energy.
Fortunately…
Lu Ming already had a template.
What is Optimization?
Actually, it is finding the optimum solution.
Besides the optimization of lines, it also optimized the algorithm.
For example, a complex set of lines could possibly require the use of Technique A ten times. One would then have to draw the lines of Technique A on the card ten times.
It was very complicated.
It was also very cumbersome.
Nevertheless, what happened after Optimization?
One only needed to draw the lines of Technique A once and the optimization lines would seal Technique A. Each time Technique A was needed, it would be called out.
That was all.
These were all part of the routine operations of a programmer.
In the past, Lu Ming had similar thoughts as well. He wanted to seal all these technique modules. However, at that time, he did not understand what ‘sealing’ or ‘calling out’ the lines were.
This was because he lacked the relevant knowledge. Hence, he did not even know how to take the first step to attaining it!
Perhaps it did not even exist?
But now…
They appeared on the card.
As usual, Lu Ming began to experiment continuously.
Ten times.
Hundred times.
Thousand times.
…
Brother Lu?
Brother Lu?
Zhang Xiaopang entered the shop. He was stunned by Lu Ming’s appearance – blood-shot eyes and a ghastly pale face. Had he been exploited?
“Brother, you have to take care of yourself.”
Zhang Xiaopang said in a low voice, “No matter how pretty Miss Xiaobai is, you have to control yourself.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
What was this lad thinking about?!
“Well…
Zhang Xiaopang hesitated for a while. “I have some supplements for the kidney…”
“I don’t need them.”
Lu Ming’s face was expressionless. “Why did you come? Hurry and leave if there is no matter.”
“I want to buy some Energy Cards.”
Zhang Xiaopang smiled. “The quantity is quite large this time. Brother, give me a discount.”
“How many?”
Lu Ming asked.
“One hundred cards,” Zhang Xiaopang said in a low voice.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
This was truly a large quantity! When did Zhang Xiaopang need so many Energy Cards?
“We accepted a mission,” Zhang Xiaopang said in a hushed voice. “We’re suppose to survey the terrain of a particular location in the wilderness and create an Illusion Card based on it. When its done, I will give it to the requester.
Just this business alone will earn us thirty thousand yuan! So…”
Zhang Xiaopang looked hopeful. “Brother Lu, do you want to join us too?”
Actually, he had come to invite Lu Ming along.
Lu Ming’s calm and fearless demeanor in the mine cave the last time was still fresh in everyone’s memory. Hence, the they entrusted him to invite Lu Ming. Besides, this was a one-time surveillance job.
Well…
Most likely, Brother Lu would not decline an opportunity to earn money.
“You’re inviting me to the wilderness to complete the mission?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“Yes.”
Zhang Xiaopang scratched his head.
What was so strange about this?
Didn’t everyone do this?
“Well…
Lu Ming looked at him skeptically. “Are you confused about the Card Creator profession?”
What kind of profession was Card Creator?
It was an auxiliary profession! It was a profession without any combat ability!
Who would go to the wilderness for no reason?
Wasn’t that looking for death?!
“What does it have to do with you?”
Zhang Xiaopang was speechless.
Yes, seemingly, Card Creators in the school were like that. They were more of a couch potato than Illusionists! However, Lu Ming, as a Card Creator, did not seem to be like that.
His calm demeanor in the face of danger in the mine cave and the Rampaging Bulls Encirclement during the crisis…
Till date, these were still fresh in his memory.
Brother Lu was not an ordinary Card Creator!
Additionally, the demolishing of the old town seemed to have something to do with the bulls…
He was a powerful person!
However, Lu Ming rejected him without any hesitation. He even complained to him that the cost of cards that he used in the mine cave were equivalent to his entire year of savings. He had been trying to find someone to reimburse him…
“Is that the case?”
Zhang Xiaopang was doubtful.
Could he have misunderstood things all along?
“Yes,” Lu Ming told him seriously, “Please remember. I’m just a boring and idle person.”
What else could he say?
“Are you really going?” Lu Ming asked.
“Yes.”
Zhang Xiaopang smiled bitterly. “I’m penniless. I set aside two thousand yuan earlier but I don’t know how they disappeared from my bank account. It’s very strange…”
Lu Ming was speechless.
He had really lost them!
He had thought that he was using it as an excuse to not repay his debt.
“Do you want me to lend you some money?”
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming felt that he could still afford to lend him one or two thousand yuan.
“Is it the kind of debt that I don’t need to repay?”
Zhang Xiaopang’s eyes lit up.
“Get lost!”
Lu Ming chased him out directly.
Useless thing!
However…
A field mission?
A normal cultivator would take up some missions to earn money when they ran out of resources. This was also a common avenue that most cultivators adopted to gain resources.
Well…
This did not have anything to do with Lu Ming.
As a boring and idle Card Creator, under normal circumstances, he would not go to the wilderness!
What a joke!
He had an auxiliary profession!
Furthermore, he had progressed till about sixty percent in his study of the lines on the card. At this critical juncture, he refused to be distracted. At the thought of this, he took out the cards again.
Shush!
Shush!
It was very quiet in the shop.
“Boss, get me two Leviathan Cards.”
Someone came in.
“Is there anyone?”
Xiaobai went out to receive the customer.
There was a ready stock of Leviathan Cards in the shop. She just had to sell it to the customer.
Recently, Leviathan Cards were selling quite well although the peak of its popularity was over. Lu Ming’s shop could not handle too much business too. Hence, it was fine to maintain status quo.
He had even less to worry about when it came to creating cards.
Xiaobai had already learned how to draw the lines of Charging Card, Fish Leap Card and Illusion Card. Lu Ming only needed to draw the stairs on the cards in batches.
Well…
It was a breeze.
Xiaobai kept most of the matters of the shop in good order.
…
Time passed quietly.
Very soon, two days had passed.
Lu Ming was in high spirits. This was because he had studied about ninety-nine percent of the card. Just a little more… and he could complete it!
Shush!
Shush!
Buzz—
Along with a gentle glow, a new card was created.
“Done!”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
He knew that this was the most powerful card that he had ever made!
“I’ll test it first.”
Lu Ming gingerly inserted the card into the machine.
Dee—
It was scanning the algorithm…
Dee—
The scanning was complete.
Energy Level Rating: Top-notch Three-star
Possible Function Module Contained: Energy Summon, Energy Optimization
“Top-notch Three-star! Energy summon!”
Lu Ming’s gaze swept across the ‘Possible Function Module Contained’.
This testing machine analyzed and produced the results largely based on the line module. Nevertheless, it was quite accurate. This meant that this card was still a Summon Module.
Should he try it?
This was a new card. He had to test it to know its effect?
It was just that…
Where should he test it?
Before testing the cards, Lu Ming scrolled his memories. Bulls Card, Demolition Card, Burial Mound Card…
Forget it.
Although this card was a Summon Card in name, he felt a little fearful about the strange and mysterious card face. What if the effect was similar to the Demolition Card?
Therefore..
He would not test it in the shop!
He could not test it at the Card Creators Association too!
Their testing area was catered for testing of techniques oriented in one direction. The scope of his card was a little odd and might erupt horizontally.
In addition, what if millions of little soldiers appeared?
There was no need to demolish!
The Card Creators Association would be stuffed with them!
He felt fearful at the thought of it.
“It seems that I have to find an open and spacious place.”
Lu Ming clutched his head.
After pondering, it seemed that he could only test it in the wilderness outside the city.
Wilderness…
Actually, Lu Ming disliked this kind of such places very much.
Any place with very few traces of human activity meant that it was highly dangerous…
However…
He had to test the new card that he created, right?
This was a Summon Card that was identical to the Burial Mound Card! The most powerful card that he had ever created. How could he not test it?!
He could not possibly remain clueless about it when he threw out the card during a fight?
What if…
This was really something for use on a bed?
Just the thought of it made him feel frightened!
It was better to try out this kind of strange and mysterious card first.
Well…
He had to test it.
After pondering, Lu Ming simply carried his backpack.
He chucked all the slightly heavy card casting machine inside. After contemplating seriously, he also brought along the four-star Swordsman Card before he left for the wilderness.
In the afternoon.
Lu Ming hurried to arrive at the wilderness while the weather was good.
Well…
The weather was not bad.
Lu Ming found an empty space that was not too far from the city. This was a small forest that was nearest to the city. It was deserted and he felt that it was quite an ideal place to cast the card.
After finding a good spot…
Little Lu Ming took out the heavy machine and carefully inserted the card. Just as he was preparing to cast it, he saw a few black dots approaching from a distance.
Lu Ming took a closer look and was instantly stunned.
Zhang Xiaopang?
Xia Yu?
