Divine Card Creator - Chapter 270
Chapter 270: This Was an Entire Industry of Peeping Toms!
Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Lu Ming’s expression was solemn. “You can sense it all the time?”
“Yes.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was certain.
It could sense the deduction ability everywhere!
This was because at every minute of the day, there were big shots deducing the land and deducing the changing worlds. Even if they were not deducing him, they would use some data that was associated with him!
And Xiao-Xiaojian could capture these associations!
For example—
Deduction activated: Where is Wu Hongfei now?
At this point in time…
Someone must have seen Lu Ming and Wu Hongfei together. If they were to receive this piece of information and wanted to capture a view of Lu Ming, this would definitely catch Xiao-Xiaojian’s attention.
He was not the protagonist in every deduction that involved him.
Many times, he only held a supporting role.
You’re just an extra!
If a big shot could deduce the entire Qing Ming City, Lu Ming, who was located there, definitely could not escape the deductions. In such a situation, he would only have a minor role.
It was just that…
Lu Ming was implicated because the big shot’s deduction ability was mighty and powerful.
“I can sense it too,” Xiao-Xiaojian said in a low voice.
Yes.
It perceived countless deduction abilities around Lu Ming!
However…
These deductions…
Some were big, some were small. It was like an all-encompassing grid. At this moment, it then realized that this was a deduction of the world!!!
…
“I’ve never seen something like this.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was pleasantly surprised.
This world seemed to be very intriguing.
As an ancient sword spirit with a lackluster brain that relied on its instincts to survive the times, the deduced world in his eyes… was very legible!
Especially with the increase in his understanding of the deduction ability!
“Wow.”
Xiao-Xiaojian exclaimed in shock.
“Give me the book!”
It felt that Lu Ming was flipping the pages too slowly and actually grabbed the introductory book to deductions. It then flipped through it rapidly, wanting to get to the deduction knowledge as soon as possible…
Moments later.
It quietly returned the book to Lu Ming.
“Have you finished reading it?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
He had not seen Xiao-Xiaojian that interested in something before. There was a saying that interest was the motivation for learning. Judging from the current situation, this was correct!
It could make Xiao-Xiaojian, who disliked learning, finish reading a book in half a minute!
This was crazy!
However…
At this moment.
Xiao-Xiaojian spoke nonchalantly, “You reading it should be enough.”
Lu Ming cast a doubtful glance at him. “Did you finish reading it or not?”
“I did,” Xiao-Xiaojian said in a low voice.
“And?”
Lu Ming’s eyes were filled with skepticism.
“Really?”
Lu Ming sneered coldly and flipped to the middle of the book. “Page fifty. After the introduction of the Scout vocation, what does it say?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
“Liar!”
Lu Ming was enraged.
“I really finished reading it.”
Xiao-Xiaojian glared at Lu Ming.
Shush!
It waved in the air.
Lights and shadow condensed. The information about page fifty, every word and every punctuation mark, actually appeared and it was identical to the book.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
“I can’t read.”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
Lu Ming was shocked. “You don’t know how to read?”
“That’s right.”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt very helpless. “The words that we used during my time are different from modern ones. Therefore, I don’t recognize most of them.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Alright.
It was indeed an ancient sword spirit. It was super ancient…
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao-Xiaobai who was diligently cultivating in a corner, and the collection of books in front of it. He then recalled that Xiao-Xiaojian had been reading for the past few days…
Therefore…
“Damn! You couldn’t recognize any of the words?!”
“I don’t like those kinds of books…”
Xiao-Xiaojian was guilty-conscious.
“You’re finding excuses!”
Lu Ming was infuriated.
Crash!
Crash!
He pulled Xiao-Xiaojian towards him and gave it a round of bashings.
“Damn!
“Why didn’t you tell me that you don’t know?! You have been playing dumb everyday!
“Do you really want to learn this time?”
Lu Ming glanced at it.
“Yes,” the Original Card said.
“Wait a minute.”
Lu Ming deliberately helped him to download a dictionary and a grammar. Afterward, he also purchased a few books on deduction studies.
Two hours later, Xiao-Xiaojian had completely mastered them.
“That fast?” Lu Ming exclaimed.
Damn!
It turns out that Xiao-Xiaojian is also a genius?
“Haha.”
Xiao-Xiaojian sneered coldly.
I am a dignified ancient sword spirit…
How many spirit bodies can be compared to me? Even that damn black cat relies on the fact that it woke up earlier than I did. Otherwise… Brother Cat, I’m wrong! Please…
Crash!
Xiao-Xiaojian had been blasted to the ground on the spot.
After a long time…
It then gradually climbed out. It had been a little over the top with its boasting.
Cough.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Why didn’t he trust it?
“Do you really understand the books?”
Lu Ming sighed.
“Yes.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was filled with pride. “I’m a dignified… Forget it. I’ll skip that. This is just the basic principles of the deduction ability. I can understand them! In essence, it’s the same as what you said about the search engine.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“You read for that long and the outcome was the same as me casually browsing the material.”
“Haha. It’s always like that after something’s been simplified.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was moving and glowing.
“Search and get the results. It’s that simple. After all, in the eyes of some people, the casting technique is the same. It’s enough as long as you shout the slogan and transfer some energy… The other movements, calculations, and concepts can be skipped. Of course, it’s easier just to look at the outcome.”
Lu Ming pretended that he did not hear.
Casting techniques and so on. What was it talking about? He could not understand.
However…
If that was true…
Heh.
Some big shots were making deductions about all of Qing Ming City.
“How much can you see?” Lu Ming asked.
“A lot.”
Xiao-Xiaojian had already learned some deduction knowledge and it tried to put it into practice. “I see hundreds of deduction abilities focused on you alone…”
Amongst these deduction abilities, some were analyzing people whereas some were analyzing things.
Some… were analyzing the entire city!
It could not differentiate them or figure them out. The only thing that it could decipher was whether Lu Ming was the protagonist or played a supporting role in the deductions.
“Thirty times a supporting role…”
“Fifty times an extra…”
“Seventy times in the background…”
Xiao-Xiaojian tried to calculate.
Lu Ming was silent.
Damn! What the hell was ‘seventy times in the background’?!
What were the big shots trying to deduce that made him appear seventy times in the background?
“Uh…”
Xiao-Xiaojian tried to guess, “They’re probably deducing the entire human race?”
Well…
If they were deducing humans, although Lu Ming also belonged to the human race, he could only be in the background under such circumstances…
Of course.
This was merely what Xiao-Xiaojian could sense. There were also those wispy ones he could not make sense of…
…
“Deducing the world is too scary.”
Lu Ming frowned.
Whether it was targeting him or not.
If you were to discover that people were retrieving information about you constantly, you would not feel good either… Even though the other party merely wanted to obtain inconsequential information like what his gaze was like.
It was a very bad feeling.
…
“Do you have a way to block it?” Lu Ming asked.
For him, whether the other party was targeting him or not, he would feel more safe if he could cut off the source of the deductions.
“Yes.”
Xiao-Xiaojian poured over the collection of books on deduction. “There are some ways to block deductions which are weaker than you… However, you can’t avoid the deductions from the big shots.”
Deduction was, in essence, a kind of ability.
For deductions by seven-star big shots, will a four-star be qualified to block them?
Besides, deductions…
You already said that they were a search. Of course, they don’t have much to do with you.
This is the interesting part. The deduction involves you but is not closely related to you. Therefore, it is only a real issue if the deduction is targeting you!
Otherwise, no one – usually cares about the deductions on supporting roles or extras.
Or perhaps…
“You can hire a professional Scout Defender.”
Xiao-Xiaojian said, “However, it’s the same for the Scouts. The level of deductions that they can guard against are dependent on their expertise.”
“Scouts…”
This was also the first time that Lu Ming understood this vocation.
To hell with it.
This was an entire industry of peeping toms!
According to the rumors, a powerful Scout could even deduce scenes… Didn’t that mean that the big shots could even deduce who was bathing?
He could imagine a seven-star big shot squatting in his bedroom and watching lasciviously as someone bathed…
“You have to respect the big shots!”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed. “Based on what you said, those seven-star big shot Energy Warriors who major in eyesight are also able to see through things and look ahead?”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
It turned out that Energy Warriors were also that lascivious!
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
The ability was not perverted and people usually used it for combat. It would only become perverted when lewd people used it.
“Let me think for a while…”
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
Forget that he did not know about this previously. Since he was aware of it now, he could not let those big shots peep at him for no reason. He felt uneasy.
Well…
Searching, data…
Wait a minute!
Since Xiao-Xiaojian could discover them…
“You know it every time there is a deduction?” Lu Ming asked.
“Usually, yes.”
Xiao-Xiaojian said as a matter-of-factly. “I can’t block or figure out deductions that are too wispy. I can only sense their power.”
Oh…
“You can’t block them…”
An idea flashed across Lu Ming’s mind. “What if we add something?”
“Huh?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was dazed.
Add…
Add something?
How do you add something to it?
“That’s right. Since we can’t modify or block it, we can only add something to it.”
Lu Ming suddenly felt energized. “As long as we clearly find out the way they obtain data, we can easily modify the results…”
Although the means of attaining the data was rather intriguing and profound, the outcome of the deduction was in essence a bunch of results…
“If you can’t capture them, forget it. Since you can see them… Hehe.
“Come… You can do this…”
…
At this very moment…
Somewhere.
A big shot was sweeping his gaze across Qing Ming City.
Before him.
Three cups of tea were placed.
“Hehe. Old friend, time is almost up…”
The elder’s gaze was deep and profound
Qing Ming City…
It finally reached the stage he was waiting for.
“Let me see how much longer it will take.”
He waved his hands.
Bang!
Countless lights circled before his eyes.
“Deduction!
“Activate!”
Buzz—
Lights and shadows condensed.
The entire Qing Ming City transformed into a star chart before his eyes. Every point and structure was extremely clear. It eventually formed an image.
That was the future…
The elder wanted to take a closer look. Suddenly…
Shush!
Shush!
A string of strange and mysterious data emerged.
“The Scout lesson is commencing!”
“The Scout lesson is commencing!”
“What to do if your disciple is not obedient? Most of the time, they are pretending. Just give them a good beating!”
“After over-exhaustion, one always feels weak…”
“Sexy Card Master is distributing cards online…”
“Make friends of the same gender in Qing Ming City, please join XXXXX…”
Shush!
Shush!
The elder could not come to his senses for a long time. What was this?
Scoundrels!
Qing Ming City… Qing Ming City was actually that messy?!
Also!
Why would such information be sent to him?!
Wouldn’t the deduction ability automatically block all unrelated information and go through corresponding verifications before sending the most authentic information to him?
All of this…
What did all of this have to do with what he wanted to deduce?!
Shush!
His mind became disorientated.
The scenes before his eyes suddenly disappeared.
Due to the appearance of that information, the entire deduction outcome suddenly collapsed.
…
The elder was stunned.
It was cut off!
His deduction was actually cut off? How could that be?!
Could it be that…
It had been counter-attacked?
Who was that bold?!
Someone actually dared to make a move on him?!
Bang!
The elder was enraged. He switched on his communication device and began to call people…
As a Scout, his true combat ability was only passable. It was better to get someone else to engage in fights. After all, his life was very precious.
“Protect me well,” the elder ordered someone.
“Understood!” the person he had called said in a low voice.
“In that case… Bring it on!”
The elder began to deduce.
Snort!
He could not fight but he had never failed in a deduction battle!
Shush!
He made deductions on Qing Ming City again.
Buzz—
The star chart appeared again.
However, just as the images of the future were about to appear…
Shush!
A series of information emerged again. Furthermore, he did not know what happened but the information transmitted this time was even more malicious than previously…
“Must read! A hundred things that a Scout should pay attention to!”
“A majestic banquet! The sex photo scandal of the Scouts’ gathering exposed!”
“A certain retired big shot who once violated the privacy of other people’s lives when he was young has been exposed. His reputation collapsed, causing a huge uproar!”
“Shocking! Crisis in the Scout industry. The more powerful you are, the shorter your life-span! Overcoming the thirty-year-old bottleneck!
Bottleneck?
What bottleneck?
What was the photo scandal about?
Who would dare to pry other people’s lives? Which big shot had been exposed? Did he know him?
The elder instinctively wanted to understand more.
Bang!
The deductions before his eyes suddenly ended.
…
The elder fell silent.
So, it was not his enemy?
It was his chaotic state of mind that caused the deduction to collapse.
It seemed… that he had really been influenced.
He was confident of withstanding the first few pop ups but the later ones were rather shocking and terrifying. How did this information come about?!
The enemy had struck?
Impossible!
If it was also a Scout, he would definitely be able to sense the information he was seeing.
Or perhaps…
The pop ups were real?!
Scoundrels!
He suffered from a mental breakdown.
He had not come out of seclusion for many years and the Scout industry had become that messy?!
He knew that youngsters nowadays were more liberal and particular about freedom and independence. However, it could not be to the extent of disregarding the rules? And the so-called life-span bottleneck…
Would peeping into the future really shorten one’s life-span?
“It seems that… I have to make a trip outside.”
The elder’s gaze was deep and profound
He had already suffered from an emotional meltdown.
It was not possible for him to cast deductions anymore. He could only make a trip to the association and find out what happened during the few years that he was away!
At the thought of this…
The elder felt very troubled.
…
