Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

Historically, Cheung Po Tsai (Blue) was much more capable in fighting than Cheng Yat Sao, yet he was willing to serve as her right-hand man in the early stages.

So this "Sea Weeping Woman" (purple) could actually be the legendary "Zheng Yi Sao"? That would explain why the "Sea Weeping Woman" (purple) is the leader of the lair.

Zhou Hao pondered for a while, then suddenly felt that something was wrong:

"How could Ma Ling'er, who traveled all the way from another city, so accurately find this 'Sea-Crying Woman' (purple) that seems to be related to [Zheng Yi Sao]?"

He glanced at the information card in his hand without making a sound, then looked at Ma Ling'er, finding her increasingly suspicious:

"The 'Howling Sea' area is the furthest from the dormitory. The 'Sea-Crying Woman' (purple) is a hidden sea monster, either hiding in the thick fog or lurking at the bottom of the sea."

Ma Ling'er had been operating in the high-altitude clearing zone the whole time; she shouldn't have had any time to conduct reconnaissance, right?

Zhou Hao's mind raced, and suddenly another card of Ma Ling'er flashed through his mind.

"Mulan? Zheng Yi Sao? Both of them are well-known figures in history."

And they're all women, could there be some connection between them?

Zhou Hao didn't know enough about this world and wasn't sure if these card makers also had any special talents.

As for Zhou Hao himself, the knowledge in his mind is his greatest talent.

Based on Ma Ling'er's performance, Zhou Hao could hardly guarantee that she didn't have similar talent.

He felt he had discovered a blind spot, so he couldn't help but probe, "Have you heard of Zheng Yi Sao? Or rather, Shi Xiang Gu?"

After asking the question, Zhou Hao stared intently at Ma Ling'er's reaction.

By asking this question, he was essentially exposing himself to the other party.

But for Zhou Hao, he had already shone brightly enough, so it didn't matter whether he was exposed or not.

On the contrary, such a deception might yield more information and gains.

Upon hearing the name "Zheng Yi Sao," Ma Ling'er's pupils constricted sharply, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

Although it was only for a moment, Zhou Hao still realized that Ma Ling'er definitely knew about [Zheng Yi Sao].

Zhou Fu had an expression that said he knew everything, his gaze fixed intently on Ma Ling'er, who was trying to remain calm.

He smiled and drew the [Ghost Ship] (purple) and [Cheung Po Tsai] (blue) from the resource cards, saying:

"How about I keep these two material cards, or Miss Ma can talk to me about them?"

How did you know about the relationship between the "Sea-Crying Woman" (Purple) and "Sister Zheng Yi"?

Zhou Hao had no interest in the [Ghost Ship] (purple) and [Cheung Po Tsai] (blue), as these two material cards had too low a potential for him.

However, these two material cards are also very valuable, especially for Ma Ling'er, they are irreplaceable.

The reason is simple: the three material cards, [Sea Crying Woman] (purple), [Cheung Po Tsai] (blue), and [Ghost Ship] (purple), have bonds.

This is a natural deck.

A deck, in this context, refers to a special combat system formed by combining various cards.

The three essential types of cards are [Summoning Cards], [Legion Cards], and [Field Cards].

Legend has it that once a deck is formed, the cards will not only receive a boost to all attributes when they are played together, but will also gain some unique powers.

Some can gain the power of the upgraded version in advance, some can greatly increase the power of skills, and some can give cards a brand new form.

However, deck creation is extremely difficult, as card makers have already put a lot of effort into designing backgrounds, skills, and stories that fit the [Summoning Cards].

Not to mention, it also requires creating a bond between [Legion Cards], [Field Cards], and [Summon Cards] that is recognized by the card-making rules.

Deck building is a domain exclusively for skilled players; out of a hundred deck makers, perhaps only one can successfully create a deck.

But Ma Ling'er already knew the legend of Zheng Yi Sao, and most likely also knew something about Zhang Baozai.

Furthermore, [Sea Crying Woman] (purple) serves as the main material for [Summoning Cards], while [Cheung Po Tsai] (blue) is naturally the main material for [Legion Cards].

Finally, the [Ghost Ship] (purple) is the main material for the [Field Card].

If Zhou Hao sells [Zhang Baozai] (blue) and [Ghost Ship] (purple) to Ma Ling'er, the opponent will almost certainly be able to create a successful deck.

In Zhou Hao's eyes, these two material cards should have been sold to obtain resources.

However, the prices that knowledgeable sellers and those who don't can sell their goods for are vastly different.

Moreover, he also wanted to know how Ma Ling'er knew about the connection between [Sea Crying Woman] (Purple) and [Zheng Yi Sao].

Seeing Zhou Hao's extremely confident demeanor, and considering that the other party had already mentioned the name "Zheng Yi Sao," Ma Ling'er knew that she couldn't hide it from Zhou Hao any longer.

"I can't hide it from you, I really want these two material cards. As for how I locked onto this [Crying Sea Woman]..."

I might not be able to say this to others, but it won't bother you.

As she spoke, she slowly walked towards Zhou Hao and gently put her hand on his shoulder.

She almost whispered in Zhou Hao's ear, her voice as soft as an orchid:

"Because we are the same kind of people."

……

Instructor Zhang, who was happily filming the rescue from behind a nearby reef, suddenly heard Principal Zhu's roar through his earpiece:

"You've even been eavesdropping on your juniors' conversations? You've really made something of yourself! Get back here!!"

Instructor Zhang was immediately jolted, muttering, "Can't I even reminisce about my youth?"

With that, he reluctantly led his team to retreat.

Just as Zhang Shan led his team to retreat, Ma Ling'er and Zhou Hao's conversation ended.

Zhou Hao was still processing what Ma Ling'er had said; her words had truly shocked him.

After a long while, Zhou Hao finally came to his senses and said, "In that case, I can give you these two material cards, but you should know the price."

Ma Ling'er locked her phone via the app and handed it to Zhou Hao:

"Here you go, take your time choosing. You can pick two purple scene material cards and five blue special material cards."

If this price isn't enough, then I'll think of something else.

Zhou Hao took the phone and continued, "I know you urgently need these two cards, so I won't take advantage of your situation."

I only need to exchange for equivalent purple scene material cards and blue special material cards.

But I'm asking that you help me collect doll material cards from now on, and that I be able to exchange them for materials from your family's material library.

Of course, I'll pay, but only at the market price in Shenzhen.

The saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." In Zhou Hao's view, extorting a few material cards is far less worthwhile than opening up a long-term cross-city purchasing channel.

Ma Ling'er's face turned red with anger: "Do you know how difficult it is to transport things from Shenzhen to Shanghai?"

Zhou Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Of course I know, why would I ask Miss Ma for help if it weren't difficult?"

But if you look at it from another angle, this can be considered helping your family expand their business.

Seeing that Ma Ling'er still had a sullen face, Zhou Hao laughed and said, "Alright, Miss Ma, if you can draw the mental loop of the [Legion Card]..."

"Let's get started making the Legion Cards now, or the supernatural environment here will dissipate."
