Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

Facing an opponent like Liu Adou, Ma Ling'er naturally dared not be overconfident.

He knew that she was among the top three freshmen in terms of ability, and if she hadn't been so lazy, her ranking in the credit competition would likely have been even higher than hers.

Without further ado, Ma Ling'er unleashed a beam of purple light, summoning her newly crafted purple card.

Zhou Hao wasn't surprised by this. He had been a mid-level card maker for some time now, so it would be strange if these more resourceful geniuses couldn't catch up.

The purple card revealed a female pirate with striking features, a hot figure, and a healthy tan.

The female pirate held a small black cup in her left hand and a large red pirate flag in her right.

Her long hair was piled high, her breasts were partially exposed, and her bare left shoulder was tattooed with a ferocious python devouring a tiger, making her look both alluring and dangerous.

On one side was the Grand Commander of Eastern Wu, clad in white robes and silver armor, skilled in both literature and martial arts.

On one side is a flamboyant and radiant female pirate queen who dominates the seas.

Both were purple cards, and for a time they were evenly matched in terms of sheer power.

Liu Adou muttered with a bitter face, "This is really troublesome. Can we not fight? I'll go to the loser group."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao couldn't hold back any longer; this guy was really putting on an act.

Of course, the one who couldn't hold back even more was Liu Adou's instructor in the audience.

Zhou Hao had forgotten this man's name, but his nickname, "Brother Hong Wen," was very well-known, and it was thanks to Liu Adou that this nickname was bestowed upon him.

But Ma Ling'er had just created a purple card, so naturally she didn't want to miss out on such an evenly matched opponent.

"Please don't insult me. Your cards don't look like nobody's. How can you do this to their reputation?"

Liu Adou retorted, "Do you know the pain of having to catch up on lessons in my dreams every day? Do you know how long it's been since I had a good night's sleep?"

It was one thing for Kongming and that great wise teacher to tutor me in my dreams, but now there's also [Zhou Yu, the Grand Commander of Eastern Wu]. I really don't want to fight anymore; I want to go back to sleep!

It was obvious that Ma Ling'er had never heard of these names, but for Zhou Hao, they were all too familiar.

"Good heavens, Shu, Wu, and even the warlord factions? The pillars of the Three Kingdoms? Is the Liu family of this world unifying the Three Kingdoms in a dream? What kind of monsters are these?"

Upon hearing about these three cards, Zhou Hao couldn't help but think to himself, "Anyone who can defeat the instructor at almost the same time as me is indeed extraordinary."

Ma Ling'er, on the other side, replied, "Whether you want to fight or not, I'm going to try out my [Black Pearl] and [King of the Seven Seas - Shi Yang]."

"The Black Pearl? The King of the Seven Seas, Shi Yang?"

Zhou Hao was familiar with both names. When he first saw that ghostly giant ship, he thought of the legendary pirate ship from the movies of his previous life.

However, Zhou Hao did not expect that Ma Ling'er could actually do it.

In Zhou Hao's opinion, this thing should have appeared in the Bald Eagle Federation, which just shows how powerful Tencent is.

As for the name Shi Yang, Zhou Hao believed it most likely came from Ma Ling'er's innate memories, since Shi Yang was Zheng Yi Sao's real name.

But it's clear that Ma Ling'er didn't add any stories to this legendary female pirate queen according to the true history.

However, she directly crowned this Zheng Yi Sao as the "Queen of the Seven Seas," surpassing even her former status.

"Ma Ling'er, adaptation isn't just random rewriting! You can't do it like this?"

Zhou Hao had never seen such an operation before, but since the other party was able to successfully make the card, it meant that the story must be recognized by the card-making rules. He just didn't know where the line between fiction and reality lay.

Moreover, there is another possibility: perhaps there really was a pirate ship called the Black Pearl in this world, and Zheng Yi Sao really did become the Queen of the Seven Seas?

After all, this spacetime is missing history and mythology. Although many places are very similar to Earth, no one can guarantee that every part is exactly the same.

While Zhou Hao was pondering, the two below him had already begun to take action.

The first to make a move was Ma Ling'er. The female pirate queen beside her opened the small cup she was holding in her left hand, and a torrent of colorful liquid instantly poured out.

Upon closer inspection, this torrent was truly chilling, as it was composed of countless poisonous insects: centipedes, snakes, scorpions, toads, geckos—truly a complete array of the five poisonous creatures.

Not only that, [King of the Seven Seas - Shi Yang]'s right hand was not idle either. With a wave of her banner, a dark, dilapidated wooden ship slowly appeared on the sea behind Ma Ling'er.

Ma Ling'er and [King of the Seven Seas, Shi Yang]'s figures gradually faded away, and then they appeared out of thin air at the bow of the dark wooden ship.

At the same time, swarms of fishmen rushed from the sea toward Liu Adou on the island.

For a time, Liu Adou and Zhou Yu, the Grand Commander of Eastern Wu, seemed somewhat outnumbered and outmatched.

"As expected of Goddess Ma, who can beat up Old Zhang, this move feels like she's already entered the T0 tier."

"I think T0.5 is the best. In terms of current combat strength, it should be better than the three who successfully challenged the instructors back then."

But if even Goddess Ma has made a breakthrough, how could God Hao, Brother Huo, and Liu Adou not have improved after all these days? Think about it, God Hao and Brother Huo have barely come to watch the matches.

"That's true, but I feel Liu Adou's chances are slim. He sleeps in the audience every day; how can he have time to improve?"

"Didn't you notice? The Goddess Horse's Summoning Card can exhibit the effects of a Field Card."

"Holy crap! The president's signature move?! Goddess Ma is definitely T0 now, I'm telling you!"

The students all figured it out, and the old guys in the specially invited audience seats naturally understood it even better.

"Little Ma, you've really struck gold this time. Your daughter even learned Guo Chen's [Soul Imprint]?"

Ma Huateng grinned from ear to ear: "Luckily, luckily, it's all because of Lao Guo's kindness..."

Guo Chen tapped his copper pipe and said, "The requirements for material cards and stories for [Soul Imprint] are extremely demanding, and the problem of it reducing the success rate of card creation has been unsolved for many years. In the end, it's all thanks to your daughter's own hard work..."

"What's wrong? Is Chairman Guo considering taking on an apprentice?"

These are all seasoned veterans in the card-making industry, so they naturally understand the value of the [Soul Imprint].

They had already basically accepted that Guo Chen was going to take Ma Huateng's daughter as his apprentice.

Guo Chen smiled and glanced at the silver-haired delinquent girl next to Ma Huateng, who was busy playing games, and said, "Not interested, but if it's Silver Wolf, I'd be happy to teach him."

The girl named Silver Wolf continued playing her game without looking up, saying, "I'm doing just fine as the number one seed in Shenzhen, why would I come here to be your apprentice, a nobody like you?"

Guo Chen wasn't angry, but sighed with regret: "Indeed, Yi Tai's talent is unprecedented. Shenzhen really got lucky to find such a gem like you..."

"Alright, Lao Guo, stop being so ungrateful. Your Shanhai City is stronger this year than in any previous year."

He rubbed his temples and said, "This chubby kid down there isn't simple either."
