Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

In Chinese mythology, the dragon is not an individual, but rather an entire race—the dragon race.

Among the Dragon Clan, there are strong and weak. The difference between the Four Seas Dragon Kings and an unknown ordinary dragon may be greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

Upon seeing this material, Zhou Hao immediately thought of a character who is practically a household name.

"Isn't there a dragon in the most powerful business trip team in Chinese mythology, the one on the journey to the West?"

Zhou Hao couldn't help but get excited: "Moreover, this dragon also has royal background, a human form, and even a horse's form!"

Many people may not be familiar with his full name, "Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea".

But if we talk about his nickname "White Dragon Horse", it's estimated that very few people don't know it.

This person's background, potential, and supernatural abilities are far beyond what any [Nameless Ordinary Dragon] can compare to.

Moreover, besides the [Eight Heavenly Dragons and Guangli Bodhisattva] being a certainty in the original "Journey to the West" novel,

The "Yinglong" and "Zhulong" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or the "Zulong" popular on the internet today,

These could all appear in the advancement path of [Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea]. The potential of this card is practically limitless.

Furthermore, Shanhai City is right next to the [West Sea] Secret Realm. If we could invite this [Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea] here...

Then going to the [West Sea] Secret Realm will be just like going home, right?

Although I currently only have some rubbish materials at hand, it's very likely that they won't be able to withstand the intensity of the story of [Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea].

However, the first card issuance often comes with a mysterious blessing; if you're not even willing to take a gamble now...

Then we might have to wait for purple materials before we have a chance to get our hands on them.

"Anyway, this life was a bonus. The original owner dared to mess with the 'Chinese Divine Dragon' just because he had a flawed manuscript of the 'Yanhuang Giant Serpent'."

"I'm guarding the treasure trove of Chinese mythology, yet I'm timid and hesitant. What am I supposed to do, become a 'Title Card Maker'?!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao quickly swiped the mouse to select:

"Let's take a gamble!! Place the order!"

After adding the card-making auxiliary tool, the settlement column jumped directly to 350,000.

The item "Dali Royal Family Survivor" (blue) alone cost 250,000 yuan.

Compared to the [White Jade Python Spirit], which is also made of blue material, the price has almost doubled, but Zhou Hao knows that this premium is not much.

Shanhai City is surrounded by mountains and the sea. The secret realms of [Ailao Mountain] and [West Sea] mainly produce sea monsters, monsters, and plant materials.

Humanoid figures are already scarce, let alone blue-quality humanoid figures.

It is estimated that this "Dali Royal Family Survivor" (blue) was not produced in Shanhai City.

Seeing his newly acquired 500,000 yuan instantly dwindle by more than half, Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache:

"Spending money like water, card games are real money-devouring beasts!"

He immediately thought of a proverb from the ancient Chinese kingdom of Yanhuang: "Making credit cards will impoverish three generations."

In any world, upward mobility is always difficult and requires the efforts of more than one generation.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Hao's parents sacrificed themselves to fight against the sea monster, he wouldn't be the child of a martyr.

Even mortgaging a house wouldn't go so smoothly.

Without the money to mortgage his house, he couldn't even make a nameless dragon, let alone something like the "Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea".

However, considering the card's overwhelming advantage in the [West Sea] Secret Realm,

With the added perks of being a [Junior Card Maker], Zhou Hao felt a little better.

"Furthermore, if I can randomly obtain a powerful skill, I can also print [skill cards] to make money."

Zhou Hao leaned back in his chair, thinking to himself, "This deal is still very worthwhile."

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

The sudden knocking interrupted his thoughts.

Looking up, I saw two seagulls carrying messenger bags pecking at the glass, one of them looking quite disheveled.

Zhou Hao opened the window and let two seagulls in, casually remarking:

"Both batches of materials were delivered together? Was the first batch delivered so slowly?"

The disheveled seagull seemed to understand Zhou Hao's words, frantically flying up and down and circling around, but Zhou Hao couldn't understand its expression at all.

The other seagull seemed to get impatient. It stepped forward and flapped its wing, making the first seagull dizzy. It even gave the first seagull a rather human-like glare.

Then, it took out two exquisite card albums from its two messenger bags, deftly opened them with its paws, and showed Zhou Hao the eleven cards and card-making tools sealed inside.

After Zhou Hao confirmed that everything was correct and quickly signed his name, the seagull grabbed its disheveled companion and rushed into the rain without looking back.

"That's strange. The [Flying Gull Transmission] services in the city usually deliver within five minutes, but today this one is a full half hour late?"

The two rather comical seagulls made Zhou Hao feel uneasy: "Has something happened?"

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

As Zhou Hao was making his guesses, his phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

The icon for the "Safe Community Owners Group" was flashing on the screen, and the message bubbles confirmed Zhou Hao's guess:

"Due to the typhoon, Shanhai City will be under martial law tonight..."

Then came the almost constant vibration of the phone.

There were all sorts of things being said in the group, and after reading for a while, Zhou Hao set the group to Do Not Disturb mode.

He was also a little confused at the moment, not expecting to encounter the sea monsters' beach landing operation just an hour after crossing the sea.

Thinking of the car-sized crabs and the shrimp monsters that could smash a person's skull into a bloody mist with a single punch, Zhou Hao broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately used his mental power to search and found twenty gray-white cards in the drawer.

This card is called "Bubble Spell," and it is created by a card maker who has mastered the "Bubble Spell."

It can be triggered without consuming mental energy, so ordinary people can also use it.

Although the [Bubble Spell] has only so-so protective capabilities, it's still enough for someone inside the house to make a distress call.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Hao covered all the [Bubble Spell] cards on the doors and windows, finally feeling a little safer.

"Ping An Community is far from the coastline and located near the Card Master Association in the city center. Even if a [Sea Monster] lands, it would be difficult to reach this place."

But I must keep my own life in my own hands; otherwise, it would be truly laughable for me to be beaten to death by some nobody while I'm full of stories to my name.

As Zhou Hao pondered this, he laid out all the [material cards] in a row and prepared the "Four Treasures of a Card Master".

Then he sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, closed his eyes, and emptied his mind.

As the sounds around him gradually faded, his mental energy successfully connected with the materials and card-making tools in front of him, and his consciousness began to slowly rise.

When Zhou Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast, chaotic, and strange space.

There was no sky or earth here, and Zhou Hao stood alone in a boundless gray fog.

"Is this the legendary spiritual space?"

This was Zhou Hao's first time making a card, and he felt as if he were the master of this gray fog, able to do anything within it.

He waved his hand gently, and eleven cards, including the [Dali Royal Family Orphan] (blue) and the Four Treasures of the Card Master, appeared out of thin air in front of him.

With a thought, the gray fog in front of him quickly surged and dispersed to both sides, revealing an enormous blank scroll.

When he picked up the drawing pen, an invisible, enormous pen tip appeared above the drawing.

"Now it feels like creating a god again."

Zhou Hao began to recall: setting fire to the luminous pearl, battling the Great Sage at Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, fighting the Yellow Robe in Treasure Elephant Kingdom, carrying Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West...

All the information about "Little White Dragon" flashed through my mind.

A moment later, the brushstrokes swept across the paper, the scroll rippled, and the true name appeared.

The words "【Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea】" shone brightly.

Chinese mythology, from this moment on, will reappear in the world.
