Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

"Is he/she dead?"

"He's dead; his skeleton has collapsed."

Zhang Yaoyang grinned and said, "Hao Shen, don't just stand there, hurry up and seal it up! If these things are left for too long, the extraordinary substances will dissipate."

Meanwhile, top observer Xu Miaomiao continued her analysis: "This [Undying Bull Demon] must have condensed something like a core."

As long as this core isn't destroyed, its self-healing ability can continue to function—what a powerful skill!

Zhao Lei retorted, "Use your bully to act all generous here? If you hadn't been stuck on the mountain and dragged us both in, Brother Hao wouldn't have had to make this trip up the mountain."

We were only able to get by clearing out [Bull Demon Temple] this time, thanks to Brother Hao's abilities. Needless to say, the cards above the boss level should also belong to Brother Hao.

"If it weren't for Brother Hao, Zhang Yaoyang, you would have lost another 100 credits to save your life. You owe the most favors of everyone here, and you're still pretending to be generous?"

"Exactly, that last [Immortal Bull Demon], if Hao Shen hadn't revealed his main battle card, who could have defeated it?"

"Let alone being able to fight it, I didn't even have the courage to take a look at this [Bull Demon Temple] when I was on the mountain before."

"My GPA ranking jumped five places; I am absolutely a loyal subject of Hao Shen."

"I moved up eight places, which means I instantly gained 45 merit points!!"

"Our class's overall ranking has improved significantly; seventeen out of the top thirty are from our class. Enough said, I'm an absolute loyal follower of Hao Shen!!"

Zhang Yaoyang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, but was speechless.

Having lived two lives, Zhou Hao naturally understood the scheming nature of these children.

Cheung Yiu-yeung was the first to explore the "Bull Demon View" and the first to confront the "Immortal Bull Demon".

This is equivalent to Zhang Yaoyang being the first to unlock a boss in an online game, even if Zhou Hao was the one who basically killed that boss.

However, if Zhou Hao wants to receive the final reward, it would be more legitimate for Zhang Yaoyang to speak up.

Zhao Lei clearly wanted to befriend Zhou Hao, so he used words to put Zhang Yaoyang down so that Zhou Hao could gain more.

Moreover, since the whole class benefited from Zhou Hao today, even if he really sealed up all the material cards of blue quality and above, no one would say anything.

However, Zhou Hao knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, and he was already quite lucky to have obtained a purple material card from his trip up the mountain today.

As for those blue material cards, if we're talking about using them to make legion cards, unless they're of special leader level, the increasingly successful Boss Zhou doesn't really value them much anymore.

"I haven't touched any of the blue-tier boss-level cards; they belong to whoever they're meant to be. But I won't hold back on this [Undying Bull Demon] card."

Zhang Yaoyang looked at Zhou Hao gratefully: "Brother Hao, I'd go through fire and water for you!!"

"Get lost. I have no interest in roasted bull or bull hotpot."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A few words during the raid brought Zhou Hao much closer to his classmates.

As he spoke, Zhou Hao didn't intend to engage in any of those polite formalities with them. He simply took out a blank card, walked up to the huge skeleton, and prepared to seal it.

As he approached, Zhou Hao inadvertently glanced at the black iron rod that the Undying Bull Demon had dropped on the ground.

Suddenly, I noticed some faint patterns on it; the stick was decorated with a simple sketch of a calf and a monkey laughing.

The monkey is holding a peach, and the cow is carrying a stack of grass; they both look very happy.

There were other patterns, but they were not very clear.

The pattern is almost worn away, clearly carved many years ago.

But Zhou Hao was all too familiar with the bond between the ox and the monkey.

As a former popular science content creator on mythology, Zhou Hao immediately recalled the stories of "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven".

"Could it be that this [Undying Bull Demon] really has a monkey friend?"

However, the Taoist temple, the white ox, the black iron rod, and the abnormal self-healing ability?

In Zhou Hao's memory, this legendary "Mighty Bull Demon King" possessed abilities no less than those of Sun Wukong.

He possesses immense strength, is thousands of feet tall, is adept at transformation, and has unparalleled martial arts skills.

He used a single iron rod to force Sun Wukong to summon countless gods and Buddhas before finally managing to defeat him.

In the original story, Nezha used his demon-slaying sword to cut off the Bull Demon King's head seventeen times, and the Bull Demon King was able to immediately grow a new head.

This ability to recover left a very deep impression on young Zhou Hao.

Nowadays, this "Undying Bull Demon" seems like a super low-budget version.

……

Soon, a purple light flashed, and the [Undying Bull Demon] was successfully sealed, but Zhou Hao did not see these four words on the material card.

"【White Cow Flesh and Blood】? What kind of name is that?"

Zhou Hao felt that the name "Immortal Bull Demon" given by the school and Jing Haijun was more fitting.

The name "White Cow Flesh and Blood" displayed on the material card puzzled Zhou Hao.

He had no time to dwell on these things. After everyone sealed their collected cards, Zhou Hao and the others happily went back to their respective homes.

As soon as he returned to his dormitory, Zhou Hao activated his mental energy to check the panel of [West Sea Jade Dragon Third Prince Ao Lie].

The age column of the Jade Dragon Pearl remained unchanged, still showing "ninety-nine years".

I wouldn't say I was disappointed; it was more like it was expected.

In Zhou Hao's memory, the age of the Jade Dragon Pearl would increase every time Ao Lie devoured a monster.

He was still speculating whether the Jade Dragon Pearl, which was already "ninety-nine years old" at this time, could be upgraded to "Hundred-Year True Dragon Ao Lie" (purple) if it was swallowed again.

But as it turns out, Zhou Hao was indeed overthinking things.

Why did Zhang Yaoyang and Zhao Lei's card advancements seem to happen so smoothly, as if they didn't require much effort?

He suddenly remembered Zhang Shan, the instructor he had fought against today, who seemed to have also been racking his brains over how to upgrade the blue card of [Tiger Vanguard] to a purple card.

"Is a purple card a watershed moment? Does advancing to a purple card require more conditions than advancing to a blue card?"

Zhou Hao decided to go directly to Zhang Shan's dormitory to ask him about card advancement and field cards.

As soon as he entered Zhang Shan's dormitory, he saw Zhang Shan packing his things, as if he was about to go out.

"Hey, Hao Shen, what brings you here? I was just about to go find you."

Zhou Hao tried several times to persuade Zhang Shan to stop shouting, but Zhang Shan insisted on joining the students in making a fuss, so Zhou Hao had no choice but to give up.

"Brother Zhang, are you heading out?"

Zhang Shan straightened his uniform in front of the mirror and said, "Right! Principal Zhu asked me to go to Command Island and asked me to take you with me. Let's go."

"You called me? The next phase of military training starts tomorrow, why are you calling me now? What's up?"

"You'll see when you get there, it's a good thing!"

And so, Zhou Hao was dragged onto the boat by Zhang Shan in a daze.

An hour later, Zhou Hao and Zhang Shan arrived at the monitoring room filled with screens.

Principal Zhu sat at the table and immediately began to discuss topics that Zhou Hao was interested in:

"Xiao Zhou, are you currently struggling with your mental fatigue?"
