Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 18 Making Yingning
Returning to the familiar card-making space, Zhang Jingtian's most intuitive feeling was that his mental power had increased significantly.
Then he summoned the three materials he needed, [White Fox], [Ghost Fetus] and [Ghost Mother].

When these three materials collided together, Zhang Jingtian seemed to hear a cry that did not belong to human.

Zhang Jingtian could feel that the two blue materials seemed to be devouring his mental power.

It seems that even if a bronze card maker can make blue-quality cards, the higher the quality of the materials and the more they need, the greater the burden on the card maker.

If Zhang Jingtian had not been training his mental strength every day after traveling through time, he would most likely have lost consciousness by now.

He suddenly released his mental power, fixed the three materials, and then began to make them.

First, write [Fox Girl Yingning] on the blank card.

The moment the name was decided, all three materials were absorbed.

Next, it’s time to write the story.

Before writing Yingning's story, Zhang Jingtian deliberately added a paragraph:
[Half-human, half-demon, possessing both demonic powers and human nature, often more powerful.]

After finding nothing unusual, Zhang Jingtian continued to write:

After Qin's aunt passed away, her uncle became a widower and was haunted by a fox. He became sick and emaciated and died. The fox gave birth to a daughter named Yingning, who lay stretched out in bed, visible to the entire family. After her uncle's death, the fox continued to visit from time to time. Later, they asked a celestial master to paste a talisman on the wall, and the fox then took the daughter away.

Yingning was a woman of unrivaled beauty, with a charming smile. Her smile was charming, yet her wildness did not diminish her allure.

……

He wrote about Yingning's life experience, appearance, and her love of laughter and flowers.

And of course her tragic ending.

It can be said that after finishing the whole story, Zhang Jingtian felt a little lost.

Taking advantage of this regret, he finally drew the appearance of Yingning.

In order to highlight Yingning's identity as a fox girl, Zhang Jingtian added a fox to the portrait.

Of course, Yingning’s signature innocent smile is also indispensable.

After finishing the drawing, Zhang Jingtian wrote his name on the back of the card.

It is still a certification from the world rules, but Zhang Jingtian is not panicked at all.

As he expected, his story passed the review.

By the time he exited the card-making space, he had already fainted on the table due to excessive consumption of mental energy at once.

However, there was also an extra card in his hand.

When Painted Skin saw the exquisite card, it would be a lie to say that there were no ripples in his heart.

But she finally stepped aside and waited for Zhang Jingtian to wake up.

Fifteen minutes had passed when Zhang Jingtian woke up.

When he saw the card he had successfully made, all his tiredness and discomfort disappeared, leaving only excitement.

He succeeded!

And this time, it's actually a blue quality card!

[Both human and demon, the fox girl Yingning].

Quality: Blue.

Level: Level 1.

Race: Demon.

Card type: Heroic Spirit.

skill:
[Strange Laughter]: A range skill. With Yingning as the center, anyone who hears the strange laughter within ten meters will have their movement and attack speeds reduced, and there is a certain chance of causing fear. The control probability varies with the quality and level difference between the two parties.

(Fear: The frightened target will immediately move in the opposite direction and their defense will be reduced by 20%.)
When Zhang Jingtian saw this, he sighed.

Although Fear has a certain probability, it is an area-of-effect skill! In a turn-based game, group defense reduction is a magical skill!

[Flying Flower]: Throws hidden weapons, dealing ranged damage to the target. The farther the target, the higher the damage.

Painted Skin is a melee fighter, while Yingning is a ranged fighter, making them a perfect match. [Fox Transformation]: Yingning transforms into her true form, greatly increasing her attack power. Attacked enemies have a chance to become infected and bleed. The infection probability varies with the quality and level of both enemies.

(Bleeding: Lose 1% of current maximum health every second.)
characteristic:
【Love to laugh】: Yingning will be luckier.

Bond: When fighting at the same time with the "Liao Zhai" series cards, the bond effect [Ghost Face and Human Heart] is triggered.

[Ghost Face and Heart]: Your ghost-like heroes will no longer be restrained.

So the ghosts and monsters actually refer to the ghost clan and the demon clan?

It just so happened that Zhang Jingtian had also learned about the restraint relationships between several races in class these days.

The entire card-making world is divided into five races: humans, monsters, ghosts, beasts, and machines.

And these five races also restrain each other.

Humans defeat machines, machines defeat ghosts, ghosts defeat beasts, beasts defeat monsters, monsters defeat humans.

Based on Zhang Jingtian's own knowledge, he should only be able to make cards for the two races of monsters and ghosts.

But now, I have completed the ties of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

If he wants to make cards in the future, Zhang Jingtian might consider cards other than "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Then he mobilized his limited mental power and summoned Yingning.

Soon, a beautiful girl with a bright smile appeared.

She had a flower in her hair and behind her ear.

She also has a charming floral scent on her body.

"Owner."

What Zhang Jingtian didn't expect was that Yingning could actually speak.

At this time, Huapi raised his head, looked at Yingning again, and then quickly put away his smile.

"Can you speak?" Zhang Jingtian asked.

"A little bit." Yingning continued to smile.

However, Zhang Jingtian had no intention of chatting with the other party. Summoning two Heroic Spirit Cards at the same time was a bit beyond his ability with his current mental strength.

So Zhang Jingtian quickly took back the two heroes at the same time, and then fell asleep holding the cards in his hand.

When Zhang Jingtian woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

He didn't expect that he had slept for so long! And he seemed to have missed a day of classes!

Just when he called Teacher Ma and was about to make up an excuse to ask for leave, Teacher Ma, who was used to mocking him, was unusually gentle at this moment:

"Just woke up?"

"Ah, that's about right." Zhang Jingtian said desperately.

"Have you created a second Heroic Spirit Card?"

Zhang Jingtian was stunned: "Teacher Ma, how did you know? You didn't install a camera in my house, did you?"

"You've slept for so long, your mental energy must be exhausted. The only way to use up so much mental energy at once is to create cards."

"When you go to the association to level up, buy a device to measure your mental strength. You should be almost at Bronze Three Stars by now!"

"Okay, teacher, I'll buy it when I go for certification." Zhang Jingtian also wanted to know when he could break through to silver.

At least he now clearly felt that his mental strength had become much stronger.

"Don't die yet. Don't tell anyone about your creation of the second card. Wait until we need it during joint training to reveal it. Got it?"

Zhang Jingtian understood: "I understand, teacher."

Then Zhang Jingtian summoned his own ghost wedding sedan and flew to the Card Makers Association in it.
