Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

After the announcement was made, the group was silent for a moment.

The next second, the entire group chat instantly became lively:

"Holy crap, a new hidden paradise has been discovered near our city?"

"It's an island? Judging from our group name, the military training location is also on an island?"

"Zhao Lei, take it easy. Don't let the pangolin sink the island."

"Get lost! I get angry just thinking about it. All I've heard about is entering the secret realm."

I thought it must be the outer perimeter of the [Ailao Mountain] secret realm, but who would have thought that the [Sun and Moon Island] secret realm would suddenly appear out of nowhere!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhou Hao chuckled at this, thinking that Zhao Lei had really suffered from a lack of intelligence.

If he has absolutely no intelligence and simply makes naval warfare cards, he shouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage in the island environment.

What's most worrying is this kind of half-baked understanding. It's great if you bet right, but you'll suffer a lot if you bet wrong.

Zhou Hao only dared to acquire the [Strange Roaring Gourd Garden] (purple) after obtaining accurate information from Zhang Shan when he went to the purple inner warehouse to select materials.

With Zhao Lei and Zhang Yaoyang, two masters of chatting in the group, the group quickly became lively.

As they chatted, Zhao Lei started tagging instructor Zhang Shan:

"Brother Zhang, can you give us a heads-up? What exactly is the operation of [Sun and Moon Island]?"

Zhao Lei is actually quite shrewd. After suffering a loss due to a lack of intelligence, he immediately wanted to make up for it.

However, everyone was indeed very interested in this new secret realm, and Zhou Hao quietly sent a cat listening emoji.

"Yeah, Brother Zhang, besides the [West Sea] Secret Realm, where else is there a sea near Shanhai City?"

"Yes, if it's in the Western Sea, shouldn't it belong to the Western Sea Secret Realm?"

Zhang Shan: "Some islands are not necessarily at sea."

This sentence instantly sparked endless imagination among the students:

"Not at sea? Or perhaps in the sky?"

Zhou Hao laughed. "Good heavens, a floating island, huh?"

"It might be in the mountains..."

Ma Ling'er, who had been diving all her life, suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"How is that possible? There can't be an island in the mountains!"

"I bet this island is in the sea, a diving island, hahaha!"

"No matter where the island is, it's a hidden realm, and I imagine it's quite dangerous..."

Upon hearing this, Roy Cheung immediately retorted:

"Worried about going into danger? Dream on! Besides Hao-ge who blew up the test chamber, who can guarantee they'll get into the Mountain and Sea Class?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lei, the king of group chats, started tagging Zhou Hao:

"Hey Hao, can you scout ahead for us tomorrow? You're probably the only one in the class with a real chance of taking down Brother Zhang."

Before Zhou Hao could reply, Ma Ling'er immediately appeared:

"He'll be mine tomorrow, I paid for him, don't try to take him!!"

There was another moment of silence, followed by a flood of shocked memes.

Zhou Hao was speechless at the terrible lines.

Then, someone else took over:

"No need for any expert intervention; tomorrow, I, Zhang Yaoyang, will be the first to challenge the instructor!!"

Zhao Lei immediately started cheering: "East District Shining Sun is mighty!!"

Below, a group of people maintained their formation, and Zhou Hao silently clicked "+1".

At this moment, Zhou Hao noticed a special name also following the formation, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Zhang? What's wrong? You're all high and mighty in the East District now? He's going to sleep with you tomorrow!!"

Zhang Shan posted a meme of someone wearing sunglasses, followed by five words: "Beg him to come and sleep with me!!"

These words immediately stirred up public outrage:

"Damn, this is so pretentious! I can't stand it anymore!!"

"Actually, I don't really care about the spots in the Mountain and Sea Class; it's just that I've never seen anyone so arrogant!!"

"Ah Shan, let me, Yaoyang from the East District, give you a piece of advice: young people shouldn't be so impetuous!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhou Hao glanced at his watch; it was already ten o'clock, and the people in the group showed no signs of stopping.

Then I started browsing news and short videos to try and fall asleep.

To his surprise, the news that was everywhere in the morning has now completely disappeared.

I came across a post that broke the news, and it got ridiculed by everyone.

"Principal Zhu is so efficient, I really don't know how he does it."

Soon, after a busy day, Boss Zhou drifted off to sleep.

……

The next morning at eight o'clock, downstairs in the dormitory building.

After Zhao Lei hurriedly joined the ranks with a piece of bread in his mouth, the more than thirty students of "Island Squad One" were finally officially assembled.

After taking attendance, Zhang Shan announced, "Alright, let's go!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flashed in front of him, and a creature the size of a bus appeared out of thin air.

The giant beast resembles a long, bread-shaped tiger, and looks quite comical, even somewhat abstract.

Zhou Hao was able to recognize that this thing was a tiger because its body was covered with yellow and black tiger stripes, and it had a short tiger tail.

The tiger's head was round and not ferocious at all; it looked somewhat like the tiger-head shoes and hats that Zhou Hao had seen in his previous life.

Despite its massive size, the tiger-shaped body has windows and doors, and you can vaguely see soft fur seats inside. Underneath the body are eight short, thick tiger paws.

"This thing is actually a car?!"

Everyone marveled. Zhang Shan gestured for the students to board the bus first, then introduced it: "My vehicle card—the [Tiger Head Bus],"

Outside the secret realm, you can travel by car, ship, or plane, but once inside, these modes of transport will malfunction, and you'll have to rely on the [Vehicle Card].

The more Zhou Hao looked at it, the more familiar it seemed: "A tiger-head version of the Catbus? It looks pretty good."

However, Zhou Hao has no plans to make [Vehicle Cards] for the time being. He knows that making cards continuously will lead to mental exhaustion, so he will not make cards casually.

Furthermore, for ease of management, the Card Dealers Association stipulates that...

Every card maker's cards must be reported and registered, and entered into the card maker association's database, so that each card can be attributed to a specific card maker.

The registration process for the vehicle card is quite troublesome and involves some traffic management departments, which Zhou Hao doesn't have time for right now.

Soon, the "Tiger Head Bus" departed. Zhou Hao had initially thought that the ride would be very bumpy because it involved running on foot.

Unexpectedly, lying on the soft tiger-skin chair was even more comfortable than lying on his dormitory bed, with no bumps at all.

Soon, the Tiger Head Bus drove out of the East District, and the high-rise buildings were replaced by a majestic pass.

Zhou Hao saw many soldiers in Jinghai Navy uniforms patrolling and guarding the pass.

It was obvious that these Jinghai soldiers recognized Zhang Shan's "Tiger Head Bus," so they opened the gate without questioning anyone, simply glancing at the people inside.

Looking at the increasingly dense jungle and thickening fog around them, Zhao Lei gave Ma Ling'er a thumbs up:

"A prophet! He really is in the mountains? Then my pangolin will come in handy again!"

Zhou Hao, however, felt it wasn't that simple. If that were the case, what would their class group be called: "Boom Beach Class One"?

"We haven't entered the [Ailao Mountain] secret realm yet, we're only in the surrounding area."

Judging from this direction, it should definitely be the Ailao Mountains.

So, is there a sea in the Ailao Mountains?
