Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

Not long after, the video in the group file was deleted.

A little while later, a new video appeared in the group chat.

In the video, Instructor Zhang, who was only wearing a pair of yellow duck shorts, was being held in the mouth of a giant turtle and shaken back and forth, screaming in agony.

The group chat instantly erupted in laughter. Someone started by saying "Zhang Xiaoya," and the rest of the students followed suit.

Zhou Hao also felt very pleased: "Principal Zhu really doesn't discriminate based on age when educating students."

He silently tapped "+1", then put his phone away and began to wait while recovering his mental energy.

Looking at Ma Ling'er sitting upright amidst the wreckage below, Zhou Hao couldn't help but recall what she had whispered in his ear earlier.

It wasn't that Ma Ling'er wanted to be ambiguous; it was just that there were surveillance cameras and rescue teams everywhere, so it wasn't convenient to make those things public.

When Ma Ling'er said, "We are all the same kind of people," Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he almost thought that Ma Ling'er was also a time traveler.

But what the other party said next dispelled Zhou Hao's idea.

According to Ma Ling'er, there are very few card makers in the world who are born with extraordinary talents.

For example, a card maker specializing in different types of fire must have an extremely high affinity for fire to be able to pursue the path of different types of fire card making.

For example, there is a family in the East District of Shanhai City whose bodies contain a deadly poison from birth.

When they use cards with poison properties, their power far surpasses that of ordinary card makers.

Besides these talents that directly amplify combat power, there is another type of knowledge-based talent in this world, called "Born to Know".

Those who are born with knowledge are people who are born with some ancient knowledge.

Such people have a greater advantage in card making than ordinary card makers, after all, they are essentially born with a natural knowledge base.

But this knowledge is like opening a blind box; it could be the life story of an unknown carpenter in ancient times, or it could be the biography of a peerless master.

Of course, in most cases the former is more common, so most people who are born with knowledge are not actually that powerful.

According to Ma Ling'er, the truly powerful are those born with knowledge, such as herself or Zhou Hao, who possess the knowledge or even the remnants of legendary figures.

Yes, when Zhou Hao, who had no background, uttered the words "Sister-in-law Zheng," and considering his previous amazing performance, Ma Ling'er made her judgment.

She subconsciously regarded Zhou Hao as someone who, like her, was born with the knowledge of the legend of "Zheng Yi Sao".

Such situations are rare, but they have occurred before.

Unique cards like "Zheng Yi Sao" with a name and surname, if only one person made them, will have the word "(Unique)" after the card's name.

If more than one person makes it, then the card name will not have the "(Unique)" mark.

Ma Ling'er didn't elaborate on the implications of the word "unique".

Zhou Hao recalled that the card name of [West Sea Jade Dragon Third Prince Ao Lie] did have the mark "(Unique)" after it, but the card name of [Gourd Boy] did not.

Zhou Hao believes that the main reason is that, according to the original setting, the Calabash Brothers were originally gourds formed from the seeds of the innate spiritual roots of Kunlun Mountain.

Since there is a spiritual root, there must be more than one seed, and naturally there will be more than one [Gourd Brother].

"Could it be that they'll be able to make 'Calabash Brothers' legion cards in the future? Or even 'Calabash Brothers Little King Kong' legion cards?"

After all, once you reach the advanced card maker level, there is a card fusion operation available.

The initial summon cards are incorporated into legion cards, which is also the main method for card makers to increase the initial card limit.

"A bunch of Calabash Brothers? Aren't they just a superhuman special forces unit?"

But these are just ideas, and Zhou Hao knows he has a long way to go.

……

On the sixth day of the military training credit competition, Ma Ling'er finally completed the production of the [Legion Card].

Zhou Hao had lost count of how many skill cards he had created.

All he remembers is eating, sleeping, and making skill cards.

Many skill cards for "Supernatural Power: Indestructible Vajra" and "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss/Avoiding Water Technique" have been made.

Moreover, judging from Ma Ling'er's performance using the Water Avoidance Technique skill card, Zhou Hao probably won't need to create the [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss/Water Avoidance Technique] skill card for a long time.

The moment Ma Ling'er exited the mental space, before she could even rejoice over the newly created Legion Card, she suddenly felt an invisible fluctuation emanating from the reef in front of her.

"This mental strength? Zhou Hao? You've broken through to the intermediate card maker level?!"

With dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Hao finished the last stroke.

The card in my hand glowed with golden light, and another [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra] skill card was freshly created.

Zhou Hao turned his head, looking somewhat wearily at Ma Ling'er: "I don't know, are you finished?"

Seeing Zhou Hao's miserable state, Ma Ling'er's anger at being slightly extorted earlier dissipated, and she simply clicked her tongue in admiration:

"He broke through even earlier than me? My God Hao, how are we, who have honed our mental strength under the guidance of the card-making master since childhood, supposed to accept this?"

But in fact, Zhou Hao's breakthrough to intermediate card maker at this time was a natural progression.

After all, the original owner of this body had always worked very hard to cultivate his mental strength, so Zhou Hao's foundation was already quite good.

In addition, the outstanding stats of [West Sea Jade Dragon Third Prince Ao Lie] and [Golden Calabash Brothers] provide Zhou Hao with top-tier mental energy feedback.

Later, Zhou Hao created legion cards for [Shrimp Soldier] and [Crab General] on the remains of two monster lairs in one go.

During that card-making process, the extraordinary substances in the environment were so concentrated that Zhou Hao not only made the cards but also increased his mental strength.

At that time, Zhou Hao's mental strength was just one step away from the intermediate level. Coupled with this high-intensity skill card production, it was only natural that Zhou Hao would break through to the intermediate card maker level.

Moreover, in terms of the number of cards, Zhou Hao now surpasses the entire class.

Most students only have two cards now, while Zhou Hao has a total of four cards including his legion cards.

Not to mention that Zhou Hao's four cards were all top-tier blue cards in the class, so his mental energy tempering efficiency was many times higher than that of his classmates.

But all Zhou Hao wanted to do at this moment was go back to his dormitory and get some sleep. The cycle of his mental energy being depleted and then restored had repeated countless times in the past few dozen hours, and he was already extremely exhausted.

In the end, the half-dead Boss Zhou was carried back on a motorboat by Ma Ling'er.

Zhou Hao didn't even have time to pay attention to the commotion from his classmates at the dormitory entrance. He simply collapsed onto his bed and fell fast asleep.

……

When Zhou Hao woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the seventh day.

He was awakened by the clanging and clashing of weapons downstairs.

Zhou Hao drew back the curtains, only to see Ma Ling'er's [Mulan] downstairs wielding that jet-black giant sword, locked in a fierce battle with [Tiger Vanguard].

Cheung Yiu-yeung could be heard cheering from all around.

"Goddess Ma!! I'm doomed! It's up to you!! You have to take down Old Zhang!!"
