Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

"We just lost one with numerical skills, and now we have another with a mechanism. There are some experts among these students."

Zhou Hao remembered the girl who summoned the cat-eared girl.

Her name is Xu Miaomiao. She added Zhou Hao's contact information yesterday when they were at the venue.

But when Zhou Hao saw that the girl's online name was "AAA Xuwang Material Wholesale Store", he assumed she was promoting her business and ignored her.

I only accepted the request after seeing that this girl was in the same class group as me.

Zhou Hao also had a plan regarding the skill of invisibility.

After all, the sixth brother in "Calabash Brothers" has the ultimate underworld mechanism of invisibility and blurring, and he has been eyeing it for a long time.

"This skill is quite rare, and I was very lucky to get it randomly. This self-defense capability is also maxed out."

Whether it's a humanoid catgirl or an invisibility ability, the production difficulty is not low.

Xu Miaomiao's ability to create such a card without any prior card-making experience is quite remarkable.

Rare skills often mean that most cards lack the ability to counter them.

It's obvious that the Tiger Vanguard, a direct confrontation type of weapon, doesn't have any means to break stealth.

Time passed second by second, and Tiger Vanguard seemed to have no intention of making a move at all, simply resting with his eyes closed while leaning on Vanguard Blade.

Zhou Hao did not believe that Tiger Vanguard was using sound to pinpoint locations, because the surrounding students' discussions also made it difficult for Tiger Vanguard to distinguish the locations of Shadow Cat and Xu Miaomiao.

"FrogFun, this is too unfair! One person, one card, and they're invisible from the start? Isn't that a guaranteed win?"

"Sister Xu, Aunt Xu, we can talk about invisibility later. Could you share your card-making ideas and materials for the cat-eared girl?!"

"I can see that our class has a pattern of two gods and three strong ones. God Zhou and Goddess Ma are basically invincible."

"Bull Bro, Pangolin, and Cat Girl are a bit weaker, but they'd still be considered top students in other classes."

"There are also videos of other classes fighting on the school forum and online. It seems that every class was blocked at the door."

"I saw that a student in Class 2 also made two summoning cards, and they are rare [Different Flame Cards]."

"Wow, a ruthless person from the Yan Emperor's lineage has emerged in Shanhai City?"

"He's known online as Brother Huozi, and he's very popular right now."

Zhou the Great, Ma the Goddess, Huozi the Brother, and the guy from Class 3 who can summon a golden giant are all considered our year's ace players.

Ten seconds later, [Tiger Vanguard] suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, turned his head and used the Tiger Roar move again, exploding violently behind him.

A graceful figure was sent flying in a disheveled manner, crashing heavily into the transparent protective barrier in front of the villa.

Another sharp glint of light flashed, and the delicate and graceful Shadow Catwoman transformed into a card and flew into the air, disappearing from sight.

"Come out. Stealth is indeed a noble skill, but Tiger Vanguard's combat intuition honed over so many years is not just for show."

On the battlefield, if you don't make a move, you're fine; but once you do, many veterans and experienced enemies can pinpoint your location.

"Yes, Instructor Zhang."

Xu Miaomiao, who had revealed herself, didn't seem upset at all. Instead, she skipped and hopped into the villa...

"The natives of this world are not to be underestimated. Even a small high school like the Shanhai City Card-Making High School is full of hidden talents."

How many masters are there in the nine cities of Yanhuang? How many geniuses are there in the five kingdoms of the world?

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel excited. Being invincible in this second life is certainly exhilarating, but it would be too lonely to have no opponents or like-minded people.

Moreover, yesterday's conversation with Principal Zhu about the world of card making made Zhou Hao realize that there are countless talented people in the world.

Take Zhang Yaoyang for example. Although he looks like a scoundrel, he is actually a genius at making cards.

In Shanhai City, due to the mysterious nature of the area, most card makers here create their first cards using materials from monsters or sea creatures.

The design of these two types of [Summoning Cards] and the planning of their subsequent advancement paths are generally divided into two directions.

One approach is the "Body Refinement" style, which focuses on strengthening the body as a primary aspect of the summoning cards' advancement.

Such [summoning cards] often possess formidable combat power from the very beginning.

However, due to limitations in the card maker's mental strength, materials, and the solidity of the story, such cards often have relatively ordinary skills.

Secondly, there's the [skill-based] approach. For example, Xu Miaomiao's [Shadow Cat Girl] is a very outstanding skill-based [summoning card].

【Shadow Cat Girl】can become completely invisible on a sun-drenched white sand beach. Her skills are not only rare but also very powerful.

However, on the other hand, Xu Miaomiao must have spent a lot of time, effort, and energy on creating this card, especially the stealth skill.

The consequence of this is that the physical attributes of [Shadow Cat Girl] will be relatively poor, and some of her attributes are even inferior to Zhao Lei when he activates the Armor Plate skill.

But [Red Rock Bull] is different; it is a successful example of wanting both.

Its physical strength is comparable to a Body Refinement [Summoning Card], and its skill strength is comparable to a Skill-Based [Summoning Card].

It even has super armor when releasing skills, which makes it very comprehensive.

This indicates that the story the other party crafted is not only novel but also very solid, and most likely has a historical prototype.

Furthermore, the materials prepared were also of high quality; otherwise, it would have been impossible to create such excellent cards.

But geniuses are rare, and most people only have gray or white [Summoning Cards].

The stronger ones are probably things like the [White-browed Tiger with piercing eyes] and the [Black-backed Wolf with iron back].

Weaker cards include gray-quality ones like the "Bald Wild Fox" and "Miniature Sika Deer," which are "Summoning Cards" with no special abilities whatsoever.

Some of these gray-quality Summoning Cards are even weaker than the original Material Card Monsters, which is a waste of resources.

The intensity of this military training is obviously very high. If you're not at the green rank, you can't even withstand a single hit from [Tiger Vanguard], let alone last 10 seconds.

Zhou Hao watched for a while and quickly lost interest, except for Zhao Lei returning from healing and passing the level at a crucial moment.

None of the other students succeeded, and even Zhang Shan below was getting sleepy watching them.

In the end, only Zhou Hao, Ma Ling'er, Zhang Yaoyang, Zhao Lei, and Xu Miaomiao successfully moved into the villa; the others spent the night in tents around the villa.

That night, when Mr. Zhou, exhausted from a long day of travel, checked his phone, the class group chat was already buzzing with activity:

"Brother Zhang, when will we be done camping?"

"When we can withstand Tiger Vanguard for 10 seconds, that's when we'll be living in a villa."

Zhang Shan typed with a smug grin, followed by a smirking emoji.

"My [Summoning Card] is just a common card, how could it suddenly withstand 10 seconds?"

"If you can't handle it, just make another one, right?"

Upon seeing Zhang Shan's words, Zhou Hao instantly woke up.

"As expected, the first task of military training is to force students with poor combat skills to make cards again!!"
