Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 24 Exploring the Dungeon
After listening to Xu Qiang's introduction, many people were surprised that such a terrifying organization existed around them.

So besides the Curse Cult, are there other similar organizations?
After all, there are other guys besides their Dragon Country.

It seems that their enemies include not only the Scourge, but also various inhumane cults.

Zhang Jingtian looked at the newspaper in his hand, as if he saw a relatively peaceful time when ordinary people walked into department stores and bought things to improve their lives.

However, they were burned alive by their most trusted and privileged card maker.

How desperate they must be, and how much resentment they will have after they die!

"These people are so miserable." Zhang Jingtian sighed.

But why bring this up specifically in a museum?
Is he hinting to them that the accident at Xihu Lake is actually related to the Curse Cult?
The thoughts in Zhang Jingtian's mind became more and more numerous and more and more dangerous.

But at this time, changes occurred in the peaceful museum.

A man walked into the museum.

The man was wearing a white suit and had a friendly face. He was the type that anyone who saw him would want to get close to him.

He smiled slightly and nodded to the fifteen students present.

"Hello everyone. Sorry for being late.

Let me introduce myself. I am the director of Xihu Museum and an honorary member of the Card Makers Association.

As prospective card makers, they are actually all members of the Card Makers Association.

However, honorary membership is different and requires you to be prestigious.

Whether this reputation comes from your fists, wealth or background.

Zhang Jingtian didn't think that the curator was late.

They had just finished interpreting the information in the newspaper when the curator appeared. It was such a coincidence.

The curator smiled slightly and said to them:

"I know you must be confused right now. We agreed to train together, but I brought you here and gave you no information at all."

"I think you have seen the newspaper on the table?"

Everyone nodded, and Zhang Jingtian thought to himself that he had guessed right, it was indeed related to the newspaper.

The curator beside him continued:

"The newspaper told a very sad story. In fact, most secret realms were brought about by the Scourge. Those like this one that appeared because of card makers are rare.

I was part of the team that cleared out this secret realm back then, and I still remember the indescribable discomfort I felt when I first entered it.

I brought you here today so that you can experience this secret place.

Its difficulty is just right for everyone now.

At the same time, please rest assured that this is a dungeon, so you don't have to worry about dying in there. If an accident occurs, we will stop it immediately and take you out."

They guessed this. In fact, the simplest and most effective way to train them is to let them do dungeons.

"The entrance to the department store replica is inside our museum. Please follow me."

The students all seemed quite excited.

None of them has ever downloaded a copy.

The main reason is that it is too expensive and not cost-effective for bronze card makers.

But now there is an opportunity to try the copy for free, and no one is not looking forward to it.

As they walked, the curator explained the rules of this training to them. "After entering the dungeon, all of you will be randomly assigned different positions.

And you just have to remember that you are representing your school.”

This sentence made the fifteen people understand each other very well and divided into three teams.

Sure enough, the so-called joint training is to let the three schools compete together.

The curator seemed to have guessed their reaction long ago and said with a smile:

"You all should have our association's bracelets, right?"

Everyone nodded. This amount of money was not expensive for a card maker, and it was quite useful, so many people bought it.

"That's good. Once you enter the dungeon, your cleaning progress will be displayed on your bracelet.

Once the progress reaches 100, the dungeon is considered cleared. We will then compare the total cleanup percentage of the three teams. The school with the highest score will be the winner of our first training session, and all members will receive a bottle of primary mental recovery potion.

Zhang Jingtian was immediately happy after hearing this. This recovery agent is very expensive and often out of stock!

These three schools have really invested a lot of money in training them.

However, he still couldn't help but ask the curator: "If it's in the secret realm, can we see the progress of the cleanup?"

"Of course not," the curator smiled. "Everything in the secret realm is unknown. That's why it often happens that people think they're almost fully explored, only to have an accident happen and their efforts fall short."

"Kid, secret realms are very dangerous. Even a secret realm like the department store requires a Gold Card Creator to participate in the clearing."

But it also means generous rewards.

The curator didn't say this, but everyone knew it.

Zhang Jingtian nodded, still feeling extremely excited.

He is about to enter the dungeon!

When they came to a device similar to a portal, the curator told everyone that this was the entrance to the copy.

"You will have ten minutes to plan your strategy before entering. The three parties can each choose a place to discuss."

While the students from the three schools were having a passionate discussion, their every move was actually under the close attention of the principals of the three schools.

There were four people sitting in the monitoring room.

The three principals were all paying close attention to their respective students, and the fourth person was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.

He looked at the three teams of students, as if remembering himself back then.

"I hope they can pass successfully, otherwise the college entrance examination results in our city this year will probably be disappointing again."

Several principals became anxious instantly.

Over the past five years, Lanruo City's college entrance examination results have almost always been at the bottom of the Ninth District.

Among their nine regions, except for Region One where the Imperial Capital is located and Region Two where the Magic City is located, there is not much difference in strength.

However, being at the bottom of a region does reflect many problems.

The deputy director continued to add fuel to the fire, revealing an inside scoop: "I heard that the leader in charge of education in District Nine has already made a stern statement. If Lanruo City still ranks last this year, everyone, including the director of education, will be fired."

The principal of No. 7 Middle School smiled and said, "I think we won't be last this year. Our school's Chen Haotian is a Silver Card Maker. He will definitely shine in this year's college entrance examination."

The principal of No. 1 Middle School immediately said, "The average strength of the five people in our school is not bad. They are all at the level of Bronze Three Stars, half a step to Four Stars. There are still a few months before the college entrance examination, so it is possible to reach Silver."

Only the principal of Experimental Middle School remained silent.
