Divine Card Creator Chapter 324 - A Hardworking Lu Ming!

Chapter 324: A Hardworking Lu Ming!

Tian Du City.
The Card Creators Association.
The vice president was back from his trip. He was shocked to discover that all the Card Creating Masters in the association looked pale and frail. They seemed to be swaying in the wind.
“What is happening?”
“Did all of you not sleep and commit adultery in the middle of the night?”
“Because of Lu Ming? Nonsense, I have checked the data. Lu Ming only visited once every few days. Don’t you know how to manage your time?”
“What? Before Lu Ming left, he left some lines behind?”
The vice president was shocked.
Damn! He even left homework for them?!
That would be too much!
“He is too daring!”
“What? You could not help but study the lines?”
“Nonsense!”
The vice president was furious.
What kind of lines were so important that they could not help but study them?
Nonsense!
Why would they come up with such stupid excuses?
He then picked up the lines that Lu Ming left.
Well…
They looked okay. Although they were not high-level lines, they were very neat and were highly optimized. This part of the lines seemed interesting…
Hehe, so this was what happened… it was nothing that great either…
After a long while…
The vice president put aside the lines and looked out of the window.
Oh, damn it. The sky had turned bright.
…
“These lines…”
The vice president’s expression became serious.
To the Card Creators who spent their lifetimes studying lines, lines that were at a low-level stage but were optimized to the ultimate level were a deadly temptation to them!
There was no way to resist!
In the vice president’s long term memory, the last time he felt that frail was when he was sixteen years old. That night, he had a fantastic time with his male friends and he had felt drained and exhausted…
Lu Ming was quite interesting.
Although the child was only a four-star Card Creator, his abilities and his lines were of high research value!
From this point of view, Lu Ming was eligible to study lines with them!
However, Lu Ming had just graduated…
Why had he graduated now?!
When was it?
It was April, only two months away from graduation season this year. It was just in time for the Millennium anniversary of The First Academy. It would be a very grand anniversary!
Unfortunately…
Lu Ming graduated before that!
Why?
The vice president was lost in his thoughts. What was the old fellow at The First Academy up to?!
Graduation.
This was the most important event of The First Academy!
Every year after graduation, a number of qualified graduates entered society. They were the most favored graduates!
No one could be compared with them!
The major associations were waiting for the new graduating talents this year to attract them with rich compensation after they graduated!!!
All the associations were in serious preparation!
They were waiting for newly graduated students!
Did their vocations matter?
No!
This was because they could always change their vocation!!
More often than not, people would have regrets about choosing the wrong vocation. Some people even looked into the cultivation methods to change to other vocations. This method was called changing vocation.
The essence of changing vocation was to reduce the loss of energy to the lowest!
Initially…
The loss of energy in changing vocation was as high as 90% and above!
Right now, after so many years of development, with the premise that the vocation still belonged to the same category, the loss of energy when changing vocation had been controlled to 50% or less!
This bore a lot of significance!
The so-called vocations that belonged to the same category had the same requirements. For example, similar vocations that majored in the training of the physical body, or similar vocations that majored in the cultivation of the mental strength!
Another example was—
A Swordsman!
A qualified six-star Swordsman had eligible physical fitness and powerful soul and mental strength. Even if their vocation cores were destroyed, all of these would be intact!
It was true.
This was their foundation when they changed their vocations!
The soul and mental strength!
Physical fitness!
All of these would not disappear!
Therefore…
Even if they changed their vocations, it would not affect their energy level!
Regardless of what vocation they changed to, for example Spearman, Stavesman, Clubman or other vocations, it would be very easy!
What if one did not have the skills?
It was alright. The association would impart the skills to them.
What if they were not used to the combat skills?
It was alright. The association would help them to familiarize with it.
As long as one had the foundation of a Swordsman and one was experienced with cultivation, it was only a problem of how much energy could be retained after re-cultivation.
Of course.
If one insisted on choosing to become an Elementalist that was not in any way related to a Swordsman… well they would have to start from scratch. It would be suicidal to them…
In fact…
To all the various associations (with the exception of the Energy Warriors Association), they were very happy to provide large amounts of energy to groom a powerful and perfect six-star!
There was no one else but these students.
The graduates from The First Academy had a very strong foundation!!!
They had excellent talents and powerful mental strengths. No one could be compared with them! Since they were experienced in many vocations, this would mean that they had a more diversified combat experience!
This was what geniuses were like!
Of course.
Changing vocation would only work for graduates of The First Academy.
Two years ago, the Summoners Association tried to get a six-star Elementalist from a key college to join them. He was said to be talented and they roped him in to change his vocation to a Summoner, in the end…
There was nothing more…
After changing his vocation, the Elementalist could not reach a six-star.
Therefore…
This went to show that the graduates of The First Academy were very valuable! Only cultivators from this college were deemed to be talents in the real sense!!!
Therefore…
It was the time for the associations to vie for the graduates during every graduation season!
They would try to take in graduates from ordinary colleges. But they would fight to get the graduates from The First Academy to join them!
Of course.
In the competition for the graduates, instead of the traditional sense of joining the association in name only, it was for them to officially become the ‘association staff’, to become a part of the association!!
The students from The First Academy were gifted!
And now…
They wanted to groom them to become strong cultivators.
Especially this year!
This was a special year as this was the Millennium celebration of The First Academy!
The First Academy would definitely have a grand celebration this year. This would reflect on the graduation season, the rewards as well as the people who participated in the graduation season!
The graduates…
Would be even more powerful!
They would have more potential!
Therefore, all the branches of the various associations had been waiting to strike at the right time.
They were waiting.
When graduation season ended, they would do all their best to get them to join their associations, to become part of the strong team in the association!
Well, the problem was… what was Lu Ming doing!?
Judging from the time in which he had graduated, Lu Ming was considered as one of those special graduates. This was because the graduation season for this year had yet to start. Therefore, Lu Ming must have belonged to the previous class of graduates…
It was true.
He belonged to the previous batch of graduates!
Although he managed to avoid the time of the year where many students graduated and Lu Ming could receive a lot of resources, it was still different compared to the size of the event two months later!
Therefore…
Why did he graduate now?!
“Lu Ming…”
The vice president pondered for a moment.
Could he be a smoke bomb released by The First Academy?
Or perhaps…
This was a test for the Card Creators Association?
The exchange worked both ways. The association could choose the students and the students could choose the association as well.
After joining various associations, they would have top-notch resources and they would try to increase their energy level within that one year. This was the year where their energy levels had the fastest increase!
This could be seen as the fresh graduates year.
This was the year where their energy level would have the maximum increase!!!
Therefore…
The students wanted to be assured that the association would be able to give them all the resources!
This point was very important!
That was right!
The graduates from The First Academy were seven-stars-to-be. All of them were very important! It was true that there might not even be a seven-star in a group of one hundred students!
However…
Their energy level would still be second only to seven-star cultivators!
Even if they failed to break through, they would still be the backbone of the association!
Therefore…
Every graduate was equally important!
However…
Lu Ming had just graduated.
He was a special student who graduated in a special time among the rest of the graduates…
“What tricks are the old fellows up to?!”
The vice president was deep in his thoughts.
“President.”
The assistant suddenly came over. “Regarding Lu Ming’s resources…”
“Give him all the resources.”
The vice president did not have the slightest hesitation. “Graduation season will start in another two months. If other graduates find out that Lu Ming was treated unfairly, no one will want to join us! Therefore, not only must we give Lu Ming equal treatment, we must provide him with better resources!”
“Understood!”
The assistant nodded.
He understood the reasoning, however… should they really give him all the resources?!
“Of course!”
The vice president was very calm. “We must let the students who are about to graduate and enter graduation season know how much resources we are capable of giving them!
“We must show them…
“The kind of special treatment they will be given, do you understand?
“In that case…
“Those who are interested in card creation will definitely choose us!”
The vice president was very certain.
“However, I heard that Lu Ming has worked with the Swordsman Association as well…”
The assistant said in a low voice.
“Don’t worry.”
The vice president knew that Lu Ming had founded a Sword Card Master Association, but it was affiliated to the Card Creators Association. However, there were only a few members in the association. It was just like child’s play.
“Let him have a go at it.”
The vice president waved his hands.
He got up…
He looked into the distance.
The resources were one thing. What he wanted to know was… what the dean of The First Academy was up to.
The sly old fox was getting harder and harder to understand…
…
Swordsman Association.
They were glad that Lu Ming was interested in learning swordplay from them.
“Let him learn as much as he likes!
“If he doesn’t leave, he can continue to learn them!
“Lu Ming has a special status. He is the only graduate right now. We must show our sincerity so that more…
“What? Lu Ming had a terrifying endurance level? And all of you could no longer handle it? Let me think about it…
“Forget it.
“Get some of the masters who are out on missions to come back and to take turns practicing swordplay with Lu Ming. I don’t believe dozens of six-star masters would not be able to handle Lu Ming?!”
This was what the Swordsman Association had in mind.
Hence…
The Swordsman Association that closed for three days reopened.
They went all out.
Dozens of six-star masters practiced with Lu Ming!
Lu Ming was on the super fast track to learning swordplay. All the other students had seen for themselves the attitude that the Swordsman Association had toward The First Academy graduates!
At this very moment…
Somewhere.
Lu Ming who had just left the Swordsman Association wore a satisfied look on his face.
He had had a good time these past few days.
He knew what his weakness was—It would not do to flip the tables every time!
He needed to increase his energy level!
He needed solid combat abilities!
And these…
All of these required a strong foundation!!!
Although he was not qualified to study in The First Academy, with the help of the big shots in the associations, his energy level had a significant increase!
Lu Ming learned the foundations, lines, structure and all other knowledge from the Card Creators Association!
Xiao-Xiaojian learned the foundations, the strokes, and all other swordplays in the Swordsman Association!
The process was never ending.
He was making good progress!
His combat abilities had improved!
“At this rate, we will be able to attain advanced four-star in two months!”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
He finally restored his dignity as a master!
Although he came up with all kinds of excuses for himself, saying that he had one hundred thousand points of energy and he had good combat abilities, it was true that he was at a very low level!
Xiaobai had already caught up with him!
Lu Ming was given a harsh blow because of this!
Although he was glad that Xiaobai had improved, he could not tolerate that he was very weak. Therefore, he cultivated madly over those few days!
He had to become stronger!
The so-called graduation season and changing vocations…
Lu Ming had heard of them, but it had nothing to do with him!
He had already graduated.
And…
Changing vocations was very easy to understand.
For Lu Ming, changing vocations was similar to finding a job after college.
For example, someone majored in computing and was sick of programming. He wanted to sell computers and adds-on, or even to sell compact discs. It was not a problem… After all it was considered an IT industry. However, what if he wanted to rear pigs??!
Did they consider the feelings of the pigs?
The pigs might even die from it!
The so-called ‘changing vocation’ was more or less the same thing.
For people like his sister who re-cultivated her original vocation, her energy would be recovered in the shortest time. But if someone changed to another professional vocation, it would have to depend on whether one matched with the vocation!
Of course.
This had nothing to do with Lu Ming.
All he was concerned about was cultivation!
He needed to work on increasing his energy!
To strive to be better!
He had to increase his cultivation level, his cultivation speed, and to reach advanced four-star, peak four-star and five-star as soon as possible, so as to restore his dignity as a master!
After all…
It had been some time since Xiaobai caught up with him!
He had to work harder!
“Phew—”
Lu Ming encouraged himself.
He believed that he would be able to restore his dignity very soon!
Well…
He could do it!
Ding!
His wristband vibrated.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming instinctively took a glance.
Ding—
