Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 33: Public Security Bureau Reputation
Zhang Jingtian didn’t have the heart to pay attention to those chattering classmates, nor did he know whether they would choose to leave.

Because now, there is only one question left in his mind: reputation?

He had to turn his head and look at Chen Haotian beside him: "Do you know about this reputation?"

Chen Haotian turned around and looked at Zhang Jingtian in surprise:

"You do not know?"

He really didn't know that after traveling through time, he learned more about card making.

Apart from knowing that the unified currency of this world is points, he knows nothing else.

“Is it the same as accumulating points?”

"The point system was first proposed by the Card Creators Association and later became universally accepted." Chen Haotian didn't mind explaining it to Zhang Jingtian:
"However, this also makes the Card Creators Association's influence grow, even surpassing the eight governments."

After hearing this, Zhang Jingtian roughly guessed what would happen next.

"In order to reduce the influence of the Card Creators Association, the Dragon Government chose to strengthen the influence of the Ministry of War and the Public Security Bureau.

The former has greater combat power, and the latter has greater authority. They also each have their own currency system, and the things they can exchange for are actually much more cost-effective than buying with points."

"The Ministry of War uses merit, while the Public Security Bureau uses reputation. Both merit and reputation are used throughout the country."

Zhang Jingtian understood that it was equivalent to the currency of another set of stores, just like mobile games, there were also various stores.

"Then what does our 50 reputation mean?"

Zhang Jingtian asked immediately.

"Actually, you can check it directly on the Public Security Bureau's app." After Chen Haotian finished speaking, he lay back in his sleeping bag.

Then, in less than a minute, Zhang Jingtian heard the man's cry coming from the sleeping bag.

It was obvious that Chen Haotian was indeed very sleepy. In fact, after tossing and turning all night, Zhang Jingtian was also very sleepy.

So as soon as his body touched the sleeping bag, he fell asleep.

As for the discussions of other students, he didn't hear them.

When Zhang Jingtian woke up, he heard shocking news.

There are only 7 students left in their joint training this time.

In one night, more than half of the students chose to leave.

Their experimental middle school was the best, with only two students leaving, leaving him, Xu Qiang and Zhou Yang.

"They're all gone?" Zhang Jingtian was very surprised: "But didn't everyone gain a lot?"

Yesterday, from the dungeon to the temporary actual combat, Zhang Jingtian found that his mental strength had been upgraded after a night's rest.

He is now a bronze four-star.

Obviously, this kind of high-intensity combat is much more efficient in improving mental strength than practicing at home.

Moreover, Yingning's level has now reached level 3, and her painted skin has also been upgraded to level 5.

Their experience points most likely come from the increase in intimacy when fighting side by side.

Not to mention that he also gained a reputation that is difficult for a high school student to obtain because of his outstanding performance.

So Zhang Jingtian was a little confused as to why so many people chose to give up.

Zhou Yang whispered:

"Brother Tian, ​​not everyone has such strong self-protection abilities like you or Chen Haotian.

We are all trainee card makers, and those who make it here are likely to be hired as full-time employees without any problems. So, they definitely don't want to risk their lives to continue training here.

Improving your skills here is fast, but the risks are also great! We work so hard to study and train, and our parents spend so much money to raise us, not to let us die. " "You saw it last night, that girl almost died! I guess many people saw that scene and were completely disheartened."

After listening to Zhou Yang's explanation, Zhang Jingtian could understand those people's choices.

But if they go back now, they will just hide in a safe house temporarily.

But who knows how long this safe house can last?
It is impossible for the card makers who are kept in a safe house to never experience hardships in their entire lives. Will they be able to escape unscathed when the time comes?
However, Zhang Jingtian adheres to the principle of taking care of himself and respecting the fate of others.

So he nodded, just curious whether this joint training could continue after so many people left today.

While the deputy director had not yet appeared, Zhang Jingtian took out his mobile phone and logged into the official website of the Public Security Bureau.

On the official website, the reputation exchange logo is very obvious, as if they are afraid that they may not see it.

Zhang Jingtian immediately clicked on the icon and saw a long list and the exchange price of each item.

In the Public Security Bureau, the exchange price for materials of each quality is fixed.

There are no white or green materials here. The lowest grade is blue, and the exchange price is exactly 50.

There are also mental recovery potions, and the basic price is 30 reputation per bottle.

There are also rapid healing potions, the primary one is 50 reputation.

I heard that this medicine was developed based on a card maker's spell card, and a lot of patent fees are paid to the card maker every year.

Zhang Jingtian exchanged it for a blue material without hesitation.

After yesterday's experience, the importance of the card maker himself is self-evident.

He can't make spell cards now, and buying better spell cards is very expensive, so a permanent equipment card is the best choice.

The Public Security Bureau naturally has no shortage of materials.

Zhang Jingtian even saw mechanical materials here that were almost non-existent in Lanruo City.

For example, assembly parts and rocket launchers.

However, he still filtered through the materials of the ghost clan and found a very special material among them.

A piece of broken skin.

Because this is a purple material, but it is sold among the blue materials.

Since it was incomplete, it must have been damaged by the card maker during the battle.

What Zhang Jingtian found most bizarre was probably the note on this material:

[Card makers who still have active materials, weak mental strength, or have no knowledge of ghosts should try with caution.]

Active?
Does this mean that this piece of broken skin is still alive?

Zhang Jingtian immediately chose to exchange it, this was a discounted purple material!
However, all the products of the Sheriff's Bureau are very special and are tied to his identity.

In other words, it directly eliminates the possibility of some people reselling goods exchanged through the Public Security Bureau.

Zhang Jingtian didn't care, because he had never thought of reselling it.

He had just finished exchanging the materials when the familiar curator appeared.

But now everyone knows that this curator is just the deputy director's white glove. He appears here only to carry out the deputy director's will.

"Well, the rest of you, I admire your courage. For the next five days, I hope you can persevere to the end.

Today, we have a cultural class, and I will be the one teaching you.”
