Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 95 First Battlefield Match

Xue Lingling remained silent, secretly questioning the meaning of life.

Working on two conceptual systems at the same time—is that something a normal person could do?

It's hard to imagine how Wu Xian's brain works.

Everyone has a brain, so why is there such a big difference in how well we use our brains?
“By the way, Master Sister,” Wu Xian suddenly asked, “Since the high cost of creating superior scrolls makes them inherently unsuitable for widespread distribution or sale, how do we collect the energy of enlightenment?”

“Collecting lower-level scrolls is enough, since the divine illustration concept system is integrated,” Xue Lingling explained. “Of course, higher-level scrolls are not necessarily unsellable.”

As long as your superior scroll is excellent enough, outstanding spirit masters will naturally come to you to purchase it.

Furthermore, as long as your fame and reputation are strong enough, simply posting the high-level scroll illustrations on the scroll website can create a tantalizing, wishful thinking effect for your loyal fans, and it can also generate enlightenment energy for you.

Wu Xian nodded in realization.

Wow, so people's "daydreams" can actually generate insightful energy?

However, Wu Xian prefers to use "faith" or "worship" to describe it rather than "wishful thinking".

"Is there a clear standard for judging the quality of this scroll's conception?" Wu Xian continued to ask, "Or is it just a description of the hierarchy within its own system?"

Xue Lingling neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "After all, the evaluation criteria for different conceptual systems are different, so it is difficult to clearly distinguish between different levels."

"Ok."

……

The next day, a piece of news startled Wu Xian.

The Necropolis suddenly announced that it would release the Gold Scroll strategy for Dead Mountain Town for free.

It has garnered widespread praise from all sectors of society and various forces.

To be honest, the Necromancer's Gym's move was really disgusting, essentially cutting off Xue Lingling's source of income.

Fortunately, they sold the Golden Scroll strategy directly to the association, otherwise they would have suffered a huge loss.

"Master Sister, is everything alright with the association?" Wu Xian asked worriedly, and quickly contacted Xue Lingling.

"Don't worry~ the association won't lose money," Xue Lingling teased. "Old Cui is very shrewd. He made his money back yesterday, and the Golden Scrolls from Dead Mountain Town will also help them save a lot of costs. No matter how you look at it, they won't lose money."

"That's good." Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, did the dojo give you any trouble?"

"So what if they make things difficult for me?" Xue Lingling said indifferently, "Ever since I joined the dojo at the age of fifteen, I have been constantly harassed and ostracized. I'm used to it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was speechless.

……

Time passed by half a month.

With the blessing of the powerful scroll, the players of the Ghost King Club successfully advanced to the Bronze League.

On the Tang family vehicle side, after the explosive popularity of Optimus Prime, they also launched the luxury vehicle "Bumblebee".

It directly ignited the luxury car market!

Even a scroll artist like his master couldn't resist calling Wu Xian to order a copy of the [Bumblebee].

"My good disciple, hurry, hurry! Have your little girlfriend pull some strings and get me a Bumblebee. My god, that's so cool."

In the video, Xue Lingling's eyes lit up as she looked at the Bumblebee in the official announcement video.

"Don't you already have a coffin lid? What do you need this thing for?"

It's like you're already a cultivator, able to fly on a sword, so why would you need those so-called Ferghana horses in the mortal world?

"What do you know? Such a cool car will make you look more impressive when you drive it around to do business or solicit sponsorships."

"Okay." Wu Xian was both amused and exasperated.

He doesn't need to pull any strings; he can do it all himself.

He then sent a copy of Bumblebee to his master sister under the name of Tang's vehicle.

“By the way, tomorrow is our first match in the Bronze League,” Xue Lingling suddenly said seriously. “The major clubs in Yaoyang City will probably give us a grand welcome ceremony, so we need to get plenty of rest.”

Wu Xian was not worried about this.

Even if those clubs release the scrolls of power, the Ten Great Yin Marshals can handle it perfectly well.

As long as my master's Ghost King series doesn't drag us down, that's fine. Right now, I'm more concerned about the situation in the Silver Rank League betting odds.

Recently, he has been paying close attention to the Yaoyang City Silver League. Now that he is rolling in money, he is starting to use the power of money on a large scale for the first time.

They favor the side with the highest odds, deliberately going against the mainstream.

Although the influence of financial luck on gambling is not very stable, it can still be very effective if enough money is poured in.

As a result, upsets have been frequent in the Silver Tier League in recent days.

He also messed up the rankings and popularity of the major clubs.

Making money is secondary; the main goal is to tarnish the reputation of the other major clubs so as to unleash the potential of the Yaoyang City scroll painting market.

Over the years, the reputation and status of the major clubs in Yaoyang City have been deeply rooted, and the sales of the various picture scrolls they promote have remained stable.

When purchasing picture scrolls, consumers will give priority to the picture scrolls promoted by the major clubs.

To put it simply, the cake is only so big.

If Ghost King Club wants to rise to prominence, it will inevitably have to seize market share from the other major clubs.

By stirring up the waters, the Ghost King Club can develop more easily.

One day, he will turn Yaoyang City into a place teeming with the Ten Great Yin Marshals.

……

The next day, inside the Ghost King Club.

All club members gathered together, ready for battle.

"Today is our Ghost King Club's debut, and we must make a name for ourselves by showcasing our club's prowess," Xue Lingling said, standing on a high place, encouraging the audience. "I've already bribed all the live streaming media outlets, so we'll definitely get plenty of streaming traffic."

"Don't worry, Chairman," Du Yifan and the others said confidently, "We've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Note that we not only need to show our style, but also take into account the overall effect of the show," Xue Lingling continued.

The club members were prepared for this.

The Spirit Master League is ultimately an entertainment event, and those who have watched the competition since childhood naturally understand how to create a good show.

Of course, creating entertaining content also depends on talent; some people are naturally good at it.

These types of players tend to gain popularity more easily.

Ultimately, however, real talent is the key to building popularity!
"Everyone prepare! The battlefield entrance is about to open!" Xue Lingling's voice was impassioned. "I, the guild leader, will be watching your performance from outside. The resources and bonuses for you have already been prepared. Good luck!"

Behind Xue Lingling stood a large teleportation device.

After the club was created, it was built by the Spirit Master Competition Alliance, and all daily competitions were conducted through this teleportation device.

Club competitions are divided into individual competitions and team competitions.

Individual competitions are individual point-based competitions between league players, and the higher the ranking, the better it is for the club's ranking.

The battlefield matches, however, are the most anticipated and important part, taking place once a week.

The debut of a new club is usually scheduled for a weekend match, which is equivalent to a collective debut for the players of the new club.

The battlefield is a modified version of a special domain scroll, and the map is randomized.

All club players will be teleported to the same battlefield to compete against each other and deal with attacks from various virtual extradimensional monsters.

"It's a mechanical map, the Dimensional Defense Line!"

Before the countdown to the match began, the map of the battlefield appeared on the teleportation device.

This made Xue Lingling frown slightly. "This isn't very friendly to us. Let's play it safe and just make sure we don't come in last."

Unfortunately, the necromancer scrolls are not very good at dealing with mechanical monsters.

Seeing this, everyone secretly cursed their bad luck.

Soon, the countdown ends.

The club players who were in position were instantly sucked into the scroll battlefield by the teleportation device.
