Mythology card making

Chapter 1 Ten Thousand Soul Banners, the Beginning of Career
Summer afternoon.

The sun is so strong that it stings the skin, and hot air rises from the asphalt road.

Yunmeng City, Shuxiang Community, Building 201, Unit [-], Room [-].

The large-headed fan with cartoon stickers on it squeaks and spins, blowing hot air.

The small bedroom is like a steamer.

"Ask me every day, did Yi leave a sun to benefit the people, or to cook the people?"

Luofu made a casual remark.

He stood up and put the tome titled "Illustrated Book of Myths of Zhu Xia" together with "5-Year College Entrance Examination and 3-Year Simulation: College Entrance Examination Card Making Collection", "Handwritten Notes of the Number One Scholar: Principles of Card Repair", "Card Continent 5: Rebirth of the Way of the Tang Dynasty" 》Waiting for the books to pile up together, I was definitely in a trance.

This is the seventh day since he "traveled" into this world.

In the past, we were determined to create high-quality domestic games. However, due to various reasons, the brave man turned into a dragon. He pioneered the classic money-making routines such as "lottery can save lucky points" and "ten draws in a row will definitely produce a legendary hero". It was a cancer in the game industry and was washed away by dump trucks. After achieving his achievements, he ascended to heaven where he stood.

It's a pity that good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.

Luofu, whose nerves were numbed by the strong foreign wine, had not yet experienced the severe pain. As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, he came to this parallel world where cards were the mainstream.

A familiar yet unfamiliar blue planet.

At first, the historical trajectory was the same as that of the earth, but in the middle, a "carriage driver" changed who didn't know the way, and he turned into a fork in the road as soon as he took a nap:

Tomorrow, on the sixth day of May in the sixth year of Qi's reign, the extraordinary world called [Earth] will collide directly with the blue star, creating countless secret realms.

The Land of the Blissful Buddha, the Immortal Land and the Dragon Court, the Cemetery of the Gods, the Bloody Holy See...

The alien gods descended and evil spirits roamed around, causing suffering to the people of Blue Star.

Fortunately, God showed mercy and sent down countless cards from the heart of heaven.

When a rich man named Yiye traveled to Mount Tai with his friends, he unintentionally uncovered the mystery of the cards.

The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, and the Flying Boat Crash into the Mountain. With three cards played, countless demons can be killed.

He also pioneered the "Heart Sea Meditation Technique", which opened up the path for card masters to practice and benefited the human race. He was known as the "ancestor of card masters" in history.

Today, the Card Master Alliance has established a complete and scientific training system.

Teenagers who successfully pass the qualification examination and whose parents have sufficient "contribution points" can go through the Unified Adult Ceremony and Awakening Ceremony before entering the senior year of high school to open up the sea of ​​​​mind, which is a special space used to store mental energy and cards.

At the same time, you will receive an initial summoning card and officially embark on the path of card master training.

In addition, according to the description in memory, card masters also have professional branches such as encapsulator, card maker, enhancer, and repairer.

Since the earliest cards scattered around the world have been "allocated", most card types can only be produced by specialized personnel.

Card makers who can integrate monster relics and card puzzles into various powerful cards by finalizing real names, adding information, and sculpting card faces become "sons of versions."

"To understand it based on the fantasy worldview, this so-called card maker is equivalent to the combination of Talisman Master, Puppet Master, Formation Master, Alchemist and other professions into one, holding the number one productivity in the card master era."

"Such people, no matter what dynasty or generation they live in, will never starve to death."

"In this 'New Card Master Era' where benefits are almost completely distributed and knowledge and resources are highly monopolized, it is the only opportunity to achieve 'class leap'."

And this is exactly the career that he, a quasi-high school card-making student, will pursue in the future.

"It's more exciting than playing games."

Luofu smiled silently and tapped the table with his right index finger.

Sparrow's small but well-equipped room immediately filled with a stream of cold, blood-red energy.

A card with a green and black border and a pattern like a grimace slowly condensed on his fingertips.

Looking down, you can see that there is a pattern painted on the front of the card. A pale and eerie long flag stands on the top of the capital. Paper money is everywhere, and the description of a talented man and the face of a beautiful woman are looming, with a relief-like texture.

The moment Luofu touched the card, a cold and fishy wind swept across the summer air, and a panel visible only to the card holder automatically appeared in front of him:

Real name: Soul-inducing Flag (can be copied)

Quality: white (gray white green blue purple orange red gold color black)
Attribute: Ghost

Type: equipment

Positioning: Myth (pseudo)
skill:
[Spirit Expulsion]: Bind five soul-like units with green quality or below, cultivate them daily, and do not consume mental energy during battle. (A broken soul cannot be repaired, it can only be replenished)
[Ghost Domain]: Spend a certain amount of effort to construct a circular domain with a radius of ten meters, with the card holder as the center.The area is filled with the soul-shaking wind, which can cause huge damage to soul-type units of green grade and below, and has a certain probability of causing the soul-type units to have lower mental power than the card holder [Leaving Soul].

Entry:

[Broken Immortal Path]: Facing cardholders who use fairy cards or units positioned as [Cultivation of Immortals], the skill consumption is reduced, the trigger rate of [Leaving Soul] is increased, and a small horror-like illusion is randomly created.

Introduction: The road to immortality is long, and the face is covered with wind and frost, and the years are not remembered.I didn’t say that my destiny was not up to God, so I entered the banner of hundreds of ghosts and thousands of souls first.

Advanced path: [Soul-attracting Banner] (White) → [Hundred Ghost Banner] (Blue) → [Thousand-Soul Banner] (Orange)
Advanced method: After meeting the mental requirements, make up the corresponding number of soul-like units or card puzzles.

To borrow a famous saying in the gaming circle, you can call Luofu bad, but you can’t call him bad.

He was not born to be a boss. He had also done executive planning earlier to accumulate contacts, funds and experience.

I'm crazy during the day and recharge myself at night.

Myths, folklore, fantasy, history... plus some other serious learning materials are divided into categories, and there are dozens of tons saved.

Study when you have free time and organize notes from time to time.Some old-fashioned themes can often be found with fresh twists, making players willing to spend money.

For such a person who has ideas, knowledge and strong execution ability, he naturally has to try things when he becomes a card maker for the first time.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, the head teacher, Teacher Bai, assigned a homework for the school year: to create an equipment card with the theme of "Cultivation of Immortality" as a trial work to officially embark on the road of card making.

As a newbie, he simply picked up some scraps, combined with the knowledge in his head, and made this card.

Not to mention how he, who created this "anti-immortal treasure", ravaged the children in the class who were holding traditional equipment such as Earth Shun Beads, Tian Can Jade, Big Swords, and Little Green Bottles.

The making of this card alone confirmed for him a path that no one has ever walked before in this world!

"Earth mythology actually 'does not exist' in this world."

Luofu said with a complicated heart.

As a card maker who relies on knowledge, he discovered this brilliant point immediately.

Nuwa mended the sky, Cangjie created characters, Chang'e flew to the moon, Kuafu chased the sun...

Those familiar myths seemed to have been wiped away.

Ancient history does not exist, and historical figures or events that gradually evolved into myths in later generations, such as the Eight Immortals of Taoism and Xuanzang's Journey to the West, also disappeared out of thin air.

In the book he just read, the slogan of the famous Chinese sidekick organization "White Lotus Sect" has changed from "Inanimate Mother, Vacuum Hometown" to "Purify the World, White King, Smooth God."

According to Luofu's estimation, the reason why people here are unaware of the cessation of mythology is probably because there are strange gods like "Pure World White King" occupying the vacancies.

Plus some other details…

"It's so scary to think about."

But after all, he was a man who had died once, so he would not be frightened by this matter.

Due to various considerations, mythical cards had to be created.

Of course, as a businessman, Luofu can't do it both horizontally and vertically, and he will definitely keep an eye on it.

So there is the "marginal card" of Wanhun Banner.

——Although this piece of equipment is only the product of artistic processing of certain legendary flag-type magic weapons, and cannot be regarded as "mythological orthodoxy", after all, it has some differences with Chinese mythology, which is enough to verify many things.

It also illuminated a path to the sky for him.

"Hey! Good! I hit it!"

Luofu was lying lazily on the bed, playing tricks and fanning himself with this very down-to-earth card.

"Tomorrow is the day to receive the initial summoning card. Go to bed early today."

The so-called initial summoning card, similar to the novice elf in "Pokémon", refers to the first summoning card that the alliance card master can receive at school or local association.

There are differences in different regions.

The Shanhai Province where Luofu is located is the choice between [Mountain Boy] and [Sea Girl].

"The name is too plain and not as interesting as the water toad, garlic toad and fire-breathing lizard."

Luofu commented and felt very happy.

[Mountain Boy] and [Daughter of the Sea] are the starting gifts specially prepared by the Shanhai Province Card Master Association for their own people, and they are not empty.

In addition to his good spirituality, solid foundation, and excellent extension and growth, the mountain boy also has superb hunting and animal training skills, and also has a certain ability to distinguish mountain spirits and wild monsters, seasonal landforms, and precious herbs.

The daughter of the sea knows the weather, is good at drawing, and can easily solve various common diseases. She also has outstanding learning ability. If she has the guidance of a good teacher, she can quickly master life skills such as knitting and cooking.

It can be said that the two have their own core competitiveness. They can also have good initial capabilities when used to make cards.

If you put it on the black market, you can exchange it for a lot of "heart gold".

In addition, as a privileged class - card maker, Luofu can also receive several card puzzles to transform and strengthen the initial cards to create the first core summoning card in the card maker's career.

This requires him to set goals in advance.

But it is not easy to choose one from the vast number of Chinese mythological characters.

　I read "The Mythical Card Maker" in March and thought the setting was quite interesting, so I wrote this book with the author's permission.

　　(I also made an appointment for a chapter push at that time, but it seems to be gone now)

　　In four months, I studied several existing mythology card-making techniques and read many mythology reference books.

　　I asked a friend who had been writing a book to contact me and contacted two other card game masters to help correct the beginning and adjust the writing style.

　　Only then do you dare to publish a book.

　　But Dian Niang is Dian Niang after all, and that kind of pressure hits her heart...

　　I don’t know where this book will go, but I’ll try my best.

　　I beg you bosses to support me more.
