Divine Card Creator - Chapter 403
Chapter 403: I’ll Be Satisfied If He Has One-tenth of Lu Ming’s Outstanding Qualities
Tian Du City.
Somewhere.
Lu Ming and the fighter in white were in a confrontation.
Ten Original Cards filled with murderous intent shone brightly in the air!
“Are you going to call me Father?”
The corners of Lu Ming’s mouth curled up slightly.
Undoubtedly, after the food delivery army of the Sword Card Master Association rushed here, he was the most eye-catching guy in the entire street!
The other party was silent.
Shush!
The fighter in white took out a card.
Well…
It was an Escape Card.
Click!
Just as he wanted to pinch and break it, one of the Original Cards flashed across him and slapped away the card in his hands!
What a joke! There are ten six-star Original Cards keeping a watch on you!
Did you think they would give you a chance to flee?!
It may work if you are escaping with your own ability. But you wanted to cast a card?
That is ridiculous!
Buzz—
Buzz—
The Original Cards shone.
Ten Original Cards began to close in on the fighter in white and rounded him up.
“Kneel!”
He had to teach people who accepted such missions a lesson. Even if it was not an assassination, it was also illegal to beat people up in the city area!
“Beet him too deth!”
Zhang Yang was thrilled.
Finally…
He finally caught someone who beat him up!
He did not even see the attacker the first few times when he was beaten up!
But right now…
Snort! Snort!
“*#& faather!”
Zhang Yang shouted excitedly.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Forget it.
Well…
Lu Ming looked to the distance.
Over there.
Surrounded by Original Cards, the fighter in white was silent.
After a long time…
A slightly childish voice could be heard, “C-can I call him uncle?”
Shush!
All of a sudden, there was silence all around them.
Lu Ming was speechless.
“A child?”
Zhang Yang was shocked and surprised.
“Remove your mask,” Lu Ming said.
“Yes.”
The fighter in white removed his mask abidingly and revealed a young and tender face. This fighter was actually a 15 or 16 year old teenager!
“He’s really a child?”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
“I’m not a child!”
The teenager in white was furious. “I’m 16! I’m already an adult! All my hair is grown!”
“So…”
Lu Ming came to his senses. “Why are you doing this?”
“Why should I tell you?!”
The teenager in white turned his head.
“Because you can’t defeat me.”
Smiling, Lu Ming looked at him. “Your Environment Card has lost its effect and I have network signals for my cell phone now. I have already taken photos of what you look like. If you don’t tell me the truth, I will call the police and get your parents to look for you at the detention center. No, I may put you on the wanted list…”
The teenager in white turned sullen. What kind of people are you guys?!
Wanted…
He cowered instantly.
He was merely earning some pocket money…
“Come over here,” Lu Ming said in a cold voice.
“Yes.”
The teenager in white walked to him abidingly.
“Do you know that you can cause a person’s death?”
“No, I am only beating someone up.”
The teenager in white felt aggrieved. “The orders for beating someone up are very cheap. Those assassination ones are very expensive… If I were that capable, I wouldn’t be doing this.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn!
That was logical!
He could not rebuke that!
“Is there a huge difference in the price between these two kinds of orders?” Lu Ming asked instinctively.
“Yes.”
The teenager in white replied honestly, “The assassination order normally targets true, big shots. For this kind of order to beat people up, they are usually accepted by Assassin interns or people who want to earn pocket money. The earnings are meager. I have a friend. Each time he accepts an order, he fights head-on…”
“Fight head-on?”
Lu Ming was doubtful. What does this term mean?
“Uh—
“This means to go to the target and punch him directly in the face.”
The teenager in white explained, “Basically, each time he punches the other party, he is punched four to five times back… Nevertheless, it is still considered a completed order.”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Damn!
It turns out that you guys completed your missions in that way?!
However, so to speak…
“This is really manual labor!” Lu Ming exclaimed.
“That’s right!”
The teenager in white felt very aggrieved. “The teachers from our training class say that we’re classified as blue collar workers too…”
“Get lost!”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
What crap!
Damn it! Stop smearing the reputation of blue collar workers!
“Do you know that this is illegal?”
Lu Ming pulled the guy to him.
“Yes.”
The teenager in white was very obedient.
“Why are you doing this then?”
“They say that it’s fine as long as I am not caught…”
“Nonsense!”
Lu Ming said angrily.
Not caught…
Damn it. You’re beating someone up in the city. Is it possible to not be caught?! However, it is obvious that this guy was not as experienced as the person who previously beat Zhang Yang up a few times.
Well…
This is a novice.
“Is this your part-time job?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Yes.”
The teenager in white said weakly, “I’ve finished my college entrance examinations and I took up a summer job.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn it. He really knows how to choose the vocation!
He was a student who took the college entrance examination…
A look of envy emerged on Zhang Yang’s face.
Many years ago, he had also taken part-time jobs after his college entrance examination!
He remembered that he had distributed small cards to every hotel, playing hide-and-seek with the policemen everyday. It was an exciting and dangerous job!
He missed those days…
Alright.
They had confirmed the identity of the teenager in white. There was only one question left.
“Are you able to earn money this way?”
Lu Ming was very curious.
He was serious.
A six-star Environment Card is very expensive. How much do you make each time you receive a Didi Beating order?
He was afraid that he might not even recover his costs even after accepting 100 orders?!
“Yes.”
The teenager in white was excited. “I can earn a lot of money each time I beat someone up!”
“What about the six-star card?”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
“That’s not counted. It belongs to my dad,” the teenager in white said matter-of-factly.
Lu Ming did not come to his senses for a long while.
After a long time…
He then figured out the situation. The card belonged to his father. Therefore, it was not counted as his costs and the depletion of the card did not matter to him. On the other hand, the money he earned solely belonged to him…
Damn!
This was seriously logical!
Teenager, do you know that this is considered money laundering… Your dad will kill you if he finds out about this! Do you think you’re in a monster hunter game? You actually dare to fool around in this way?
“I have another question.”
Lu Ming was very puzzled. “Why don’t you sell the Environment Card instead?”
Shush!
There was total silence.
Eh?
Obviously, the teenager in white was in deep thought.
That was right. Why didn’t I think of that? After selling it, I can just tell them that I used it! Well… If that’s the case, the card is not the only thing that can be sold? Dad’s cards, games… Oh right, and mom’s cosmetics products can be sold as well!
Well… I can say that I used them to dress up like a woman!
I heard that big shots dressed up like women are very popular on the internet nowadays! I won’t be discriminated against! Anyway, I just need to find an excuse! Those cosmetics products should be worth a lot of money!
Well…
The teenager in white began to think out of the box.
In that case…
Grandpa’s wine cellar seems like a possible option…
Eh?
Maternal grandpa’s book shelves are very dusty now…
Countless little stars shone in his eyes. He felt that the opportunity to start a business from scratch was right before him. In that case, who should he sell these things to?!
He remembered that the technical term for this was ‘channel’ in the textbooks!
Channels are money!
He was only a student. Where could he find the channels?
Well…
He had one now!
Those who took in second hand goods had their own bikes. He could also do that?
He had already thought of it. As soon as he reached home, he would hire a trishaw and put everything in it. He would then get a huge loud speaker with an automated message, “Cards, cosmetics, wine, book collection for sale! First-come-first-serve basis! Great summer sale! Limited goods for sale.”
It was perfect!
He felt thrilled at the thought of it!
This would be his first experience as an entrepreneur!
Snort!
Those so-called people who started a company had to invest a capital of more than 100,000 yuan! He could start his business from scratch!
He felt that…
He was about to embark on a legendary path…
At this very moment…
Bam!
There was a deafening sound.
Lu Ming gave him a slap on the head.
“What’s up?”
The teenager in white looked up furiously. The wonderful future that he had imagined had been interrupted.
“What are you thinking of?!”
Lu Ming looked at this guy skeptically.
What did 15 or 16 years old mean?
Third year of senior high school!
A child at this age had different thoughts from ordinary people. When he saw the sparkle in this guy’s eyes, Lu Ming sensed that something was amiss.
“I’m just thinking of some ideas on how to be an entrepreneur,” the teenager in white said softly. Afterward, he looked at Lu Ming excitedly, “You’re also a Card Creator! I have some cards. Do you want them?”
Lu Ming was speechless.
He had a hunch that something was not right.
“Look!”
The teenager in white took out a few cards. They were all six-star cards and most of them were powerful cards that could augment abilities. Furthermore, the energy consumption rate was very low.
He could tell at one glance that this was given to him by his biological father!
Lu Ming merely swept a gaze across them and his heart jumped a beat.
These lines…
“Card Creator Grandmaster!!!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was also shocked.
Seven-stars!
Grandmaster!
This was certainly created by a Card Creator who was seven-star and above! One even had to pass the grandmaster level assessment before they could create those kinds of exquisite and sophisticated lines!
These lines…
“Snatch it! Snatch it!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was excited. “Researching these lines can aid our card research tremendously! Our research on the Sunlight Card, Will-O-Wisp Card and Moving Card will progress by leaps and bounds!”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
Snatch it? What the heck!
Aren’t you afraid that the grandmaster will target you if you do that?!
Obviously, such teenagers who are as kind, simple and creative as him have grown up with lots of family love and in a sheltered environment. Do you dare to provoke him?!
“Silence him! Silence him!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was extraordinarily excited.
“Get lost!”
Lu Ming shoved the card away without any hesitation.
Afterward…
He turned around and looked at the teenager in white, smiling faintly. “Child, you’re already a five-star. Why are you still that weak? I beat Yan Suya when I was a four-star.”
“Huh?”
The teenager in white was shocked. “You’re the one who defeated Yan Suya?”
“Of course.”
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing.
“Oh, it’s you!”
The teenager in white was thrilled. “W-why are you that powerful!”
“Do you want to know?”
A fatherly smile emerged on Lu Ming’s face.
“Yes!”
“Come, walk with me. We can have an in-depth exchange…”
…
Right then…
Somewhere.
A middle-aged man looked up at the sky and a smile appeared on his face. “He actually met that child.”
“Who is that?” beside him, his wife asked.
“Lu Ming.”
“Oh?”
His wife was surprised. “It’s that child. Even the dean of The First Academy praised him for his kindness, talent, good looks, and temperament?”
“Yes.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “It’s not just the dean. I chatted with the chief of operations of Tian Du City a few days ago. He also thinks very highly of this child!”
The wife smiled faintly.
She found it quite true.
This was a teenager who established an association at such a young age and caused many sensations. This was a child who could defeat Yan Suya as a four-star. How could he be someone ordinary?!
Diligence!
Talent!
Looks!
This child possessed everything that people were envious of. Yet, he kept a very low profile. This child was much more powerful than those high profile celebrity cultivators!
“I feel more comfortable now.”
The middle-aged man sighed.
His son’s thinking had gone astray and educating him was a problem. He had been very worried. Now that he had encountered a role model, it was a great thing.
His expectations were not very high.
As long as he had one-tenth of Lu Ming’s outstanding qualities, he would be very satisfied.
However…
If it was Lu Ming…
“His sister is Lu Yan?”
The middle-aged man remembered.
Last week, Lu Yan seemed to have visited him.
“You even rejected her,” his wife said unhappily.
“It’s okay.”
The middle-aged man smiled. “There should still be some time.”
…
Right then…
Somewhere.
Sword gleams flashed.
Lu Yan was walking in the void. Thousands of swords were following her.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Qiu Shuyi nodded satisfactorily. “We should begin. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the card from that grandmaster. Otherwise…”
She felt very regretful.
This trip to the legacy site was filled with dangers.
Especially when it involved Lu Yan, she felt more worried. Therefore, she had been to many places, wanting to gather more items of protection for Xiao-yanyan. Unfortunately…
She failed eventually.
That grandmaster’s schedule was fully packed…
“It’s okay.”
Lu Yan was very confident.
To her, one sword was enough!
The so-called cards and aids were superfluous! The difference was not great whether she had them or not. She, Lu Yan, had never been truly afraid of anything!
Right then…
Two people approached them.
An elder led his disciple and drifted to the spot.
“Do you have any cards to protect yourself?”
He cast a puzzled look at Lu Yan. “That place is very unique. You will only be able to unleash the greatest combat ability if you have a card to protect you. You…”
Immediately afterward.
The elder glanced at Qiu Shuyi and sighed. “Don’t tell me you want to ruin Lu Yan.”
Qiu Shuyi felt somewhat angry. Is it that great to be older than me?! My boobs are bigger. Have I said anything?
Suddenly…
She was held back by a warm and cozy hand. Lu Yan walked towards the elder and said, “Senior, I don’t need it.”
That senior merely shook his head.
He did not have any ill intentions. He just felt that Lu Yan had shocking talent and it was a sheer pity that she was a disciple of an eccentric lady like Qiu Shuyi.
Qiu Shuyi was silent.
The disciples were competitive amongst themselves, so were the masters.
Lu Yan was too talented and dazzling. One by one, powerful figures appeared. There was a point in time where Qiu Shuyi doubted herself and whether she had really delayed Lu Yan…
I…
Was I wrong?
Suddenly…
A familiar warmth could be felt coming from beside her.
“Master.”
“I’m very happy to have you in my life,” Lu Yan said calmly.
“Thank you.”
Qiu Shuyi felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
That senior could only shook his head and sighed.
This is such a good disciple! Why didn’t I discover Lu Yan earlier in the past?! It is such a pity!
However…
At this moment.
A beam of light broke through the sky.
A card landed in front of Lu Yan quietly. Most interestingly, it was accompanied by an extremely special card!
“This is…”
Everyone’s heart trembled. It is the card of that grandmaster!
“Huh?”
Qiu Shuyi was slightly puzzled.
Something was not right.
She had brought Lu Yan to look for this grandmaster but did not even catch a glimpse of him….
Shush!
The card floated and landed in front of Lu Yan.
Lu Yan opened it curiously. The special card landed in her hands quietly. Obviously, it was customized for her!
“Please send my regards to your brother.”
A thought was transmitted to her Sea of Consciousness.
Brother?!
Lu Yan was shocked.
“You actually managed to get this card!”
That senior was astonished. He took a glance at Qiu Shuyi and nodded slightly, giving his affirmation. “Having achieved this, you’ve met the mark.”
With that…
He left after sending off his disciple.
“The place has been activated. It’s time to go in!”
On the spot.
Qiu Shuyi and Lu Yan faced each other.
“This card…”
Qiu Shuyi was puzzled.
“That grandmaster told me to send my regards to Lu Ming.”
Lu Yan was shocked.
Is he doing for this the sake of Brother?
Yes, he is already a dignified president of an association and no longer that little boy who chased her around with a bare bottom and *****.
“He has grown up.”
Lu Yan smiled.
There was a flash of astonishment in Qiu Shuyi’s eyes.
Lu Ming…
Lu Ming had actually reached such a stage?
She remembered her first meeting with Lu Ming at the legacy island of the Lunar Shadow Legacy. The young lad was blushing and nervous when he saw her…
Unexpectedly…
He could already achieve what she could not do!
“Master, I’m going in.”
Lu Yan looked afar.
That place was already activated and she had to leave.
“All the best!” Qiu Shuyi encouraged her.
“Yes.”
Lu Yan left in a breeze.
Qiu Shuyi looked afar and felt somewhat troubled.
The seven-star and above world was not that simple. Everyone was very powerful. If you want other people to help you, you have to maintain social relationships…
It was the same situation this time.
Was the combat ability of that Card Creator grandmaster very strong?
It did not seem to be.
However, when she needed a card and wanted to contact him to customize one, as a homebody ‘salted fish’ cultivator, she did not even get a chance to meet him!
Although she was already an eight-star, she was still a homebody. She was fine with cultivating but if one were to tell her to go out and socialize with other cultivators…
Her head hurt at the thought of this.
Right now…
Lu Yan’s cultivation speed had been increasing. When she no longer self-destructed, no one could hinder her cultivation speed. She was very close to seven-star now!
But, her?
How was she going to help Lu Yan when the time came?
Perhaps…
It was time for her to change.
After a long time…
She took a deep breath and turned on the communication device.
“Lu Ming, how are you?”
“Hello, Senior Qiu!”
“Can you teach me how to get along with other cultivators?”
“Huh?”
“I have heard a lot of people, including seniors with extraordinary statuses, mention you. Even the chief of operations and the dean of The First Academy are on quite good terms with you. Therefore, I would like to ask you about how to maintain a relationship with other cultivators? Those relationships that are neither too close nor distant and yet, we can help each other at times?”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was completely dumbstruck.
He was serious.
He could not believe that he had received such a ‘devil’ question the moment he arrived home!
How to maintain a relationship?
Chief of operations?
The dean?
Lu Ming pondered carefully. Why did he feel that he was not on very good terms with them…
→_→
Was Senior Qiu Shuyi mocking him?
No.
Lu Ming took a closer look and was shocked to discover that these questions were sincere!
This meant that…
He, Lu Ming, a beginner five-star cultivator had formally received a mental health question posed by Senior Qiu Shuyi, a super genius who was seven-star and above!
Well…
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
“Senior Qiu, what are you good at?”
Watching TV drama series, surfing the Internet.”
“N-no, I’m referring to things that are related to cultivation.”
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat.
“If it’s related to cultivation…”
Qiu Shuyi pondered for a moment and gave a swift and concise reply, “Hacking people.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
…
