mythical card maker

Chapter 1 Skill Card: [Ghost Beating the Wall]

In May 2019, Chengfeng Middle School in Baihu City.

The rain poured down like a curtain, the sky was groggy, and most of the buildings in the school were plunged into darkness. Only the library was still lit with pale lights.

Sitting alone on the fourth floor of the museum, Zhou Chuan was flipping through a tome called "Imagination of Ancient Chinese Myths". Looking at the fragmentary descriptions and specious illustrations in the book, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Is this monkey holding an embroidery needle the Monkey King?"

Zhou Chuan was thinking about it when the soft music playing in the earphones was suddenly interrupted and replaced by a crisp notification tone.

He picked up his phone, but saw an extra message in the class group.

Class teacher Liang Bing: "Students, the school has just received a notice.

The Provincial Card Maker Association organized a related themed event for senior high school card making students in our province [the first set of cards in life].

Participants need to choose one of the four battles of [demon], [magic], [ghost], and [monster], and independently make a spirit card of at least white quality.

The rewards of this competition are very strong, not only the regular items such as college entrance examination points, rare cards, and customized materials, but also many hidden rewards. I hope everyone will actively participate (the school requires everyone to participate).

reply received. "

Seeing the two subtitles of "received" fall down like a bullet, Zhou Chuan silently clicked "+1", then exited the communication software, and switched to the news.

"The ancient chronicle stone pillars unearthed in the stone forest ruins may open up a new way to make cards!"

"Eastern Card Alliance officially launched the [Hundred Ghosts] deck building plan!"

"The chairman of the Penguin Group joined hands with Yao Guang, a diamond-level card maker, to successfully reproduce the orange-quality card [Northern Emperor Penguin]."

"According to the latest news released by the Meteorological Observatory, the typhoon will land on the southeast coast of Baihu City this afternoon. It is suspected to be [Odin's Parade], and the Katu Alliance has sent a commissioner to deal with it."

"Odin's parade?" Zhou Chuan turned his head and looked at the dripping rain outside the window, lost in thought.

A week ago, he was a programmer who had just graduated a year ago and was desperately involved in 996 in a large factory. Who knew that when he woke up (maybe a sudden death), he traveled to himself in a parallel world.

He has only become a social animal, but he has to face the baptism of the college entrance examination when he turns around.

It's just different from the math, physics and chemistry in the previous life. This time, it's a card battle.

In fact, as early as hundreds of years ago, the development track of this world was still the same as that of Blue Star, until a certain early winter morning during the reign of Chongzhen, many huge cracks suddenly appeared in the hazy sky.

Countless dark creatures came out of these holes. They were not afraid of curved bows and sharp blades, or even firearms and cannons. They caused heavy losses to the ancestors in a short period of time.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was helpless, so he took a rope and came to Meishan, hoping to find a tree with a crooked neck to end his powerless life.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly entered a ruin while his sight was flickering, and took out the first card in human history from it, gaining a powerful force enough to fight against dark creatures.

Since then, many people have inadvertently entered the ruins of the scattered world and collected mysterious cards one after another.

The era of Katu officially started here.

And in such an era, the most glorious and most powerful profession is undoubtedly the [card apprentice] who holds the "gun barrel" of cards, which is divided into two types: [war card master] and [card maker] direction.

War card masters are like travel trainers in the Pokémon world.

They grew up on the most dangerous battlefields, collecting various rare card-making materials by killing all kinds of ferocious dark creatures.

And the person who can integrate these materials into cards through processes such as finalizing the real name, calculating the structure, and characterization and polishing, is called a [card maker]!
Although there are two directions, the two are not clearly separated, but lead to the same goal by different routes.

There is an old saying: "A powerful card maker may not be able to make cards, but a powerful card maker must be good at card making!"

If [Card Tutor] is the crown of this era, then [Card Creator] is undoubtedly the brightest jewel in this crown!

As for Zhou Chuan's identity in this world, he was an apprentice card maker who hadn't yet graduated.

However, he is not inexperienced in card making.

As early as a week ago, when he just reacted from the time travel, he used the card making knowledge in his brain and the programming thinking cultivated over the years to experimentally create the first card in his life, and used it to verify Created a new card making routine:
Real name: Ghost hits the wall
Quality: Green (white green blue purple orange red gold)
Category: Skill Card
Introduction: Do you lose your way while walking at night?
effect:

[Lost]: After the card hits, it can reduce the target's self-perception and sense of direction, making it impossible to leave the set area for a certain period of time, and it will be automatically broken after being attacked. The strength of the effect depends on the "mental strength" of both parties.

[Panic]: After the card is hit, there is a certain probability to arouse the target's fear of "mystery", which greatly reduces their desire to fight and reaction ability.

This is a card the size of a poker card. On the cover is a backpacker walking timidly in the deep mountains and forests, surrounded by countless eerie ghosts.

This is Zhou Chuan's first card in his career as a card maker.

Since this piece of [Ghost Hitting the Wall] was made by him alone, and it is "original", the innate bond has been directly pulled to full value (perfect control), and it is far more than 60% (barely used) and 80% (preliminary control). The quality of the two bond nodes has also reached green.

If it wasn't for the classification of spirit cards, but skill cards, it would be enough to support him to go to the War Card Master Association to participate in the [Bronze War Card Master] certification.

"The Spirit Card doesn't seem to be very far away."

Zhou Chuan couldn't help showing a smile when he looked at "Imagination of Ancient Chinese Myths" spread out on the table.

Why are card makers so rare?
Not only talent, this profession also has extremely high requirements for a person's knowledge accumulation, painting foundation, and structural thinking.

And the most difficult thing to achieve is precisely the seemingly simplest four words [knowledge accumulation].

Due to the invasion of dark creatures for hundreds of years, a large number of classics in this world have been burned, coupled with the extremely high illiteracy rate in ancient times, resulting in more than [-]% of the precious knowledge being submerged in the long river of history.

And these ancient knowledge about weirdness and myth are exactly the soul of card making!
To put it simply, if your goal in this life is to become a Bronze or Silver card maker, the three textbooks (Goblin, Mountain Goblin, and Door-Opening Hyena) are completely sufficient.

But if you have great ambitions and dream of becoming a gold, platinum, diamond, master, or even a mythical card maker that only exists in theory.

Then you have to risk your life to explore the extremely dangerous ancient ruins and cracks in time and space, and rely on experience and luck to desperately find some auspicious pieces that record ancient legends.

But as a card maker, Zhou Chuan didn't need to do these things.

He who came here because of time travel is a treasure house of Chinese mythology!
And this little [Ghost Hitting the Wall] just confirmed what he thought in his heart!
