The additional skill of Daiyu card is "death upon triggering flower cards". Xie Mingzhe estimated that this was automatically generated by the system based on his imagination, because when he drew Daiyu card, he kept thinking about the fragment of "Daiyu burying flowers". This Daiyu card is very targeted against flower cards, but unfortunately the defense is too low and the skill probability is only 10%, which is not very good.
What should he do with this card? Should he sell it for pocket money? He was really short of money right now, so it would be good if he could sell it for a few bucks. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe concentrated and started to draw the card of Daiyu burying flowers.
Since he is the copyright author, his making of this card is not considered plagiarism, but others certainly cannot copy it.
Xie Mingzhe made a total of 9 Daiyu cards, using up all the nebula paper he bought.
The reason why he made the same card is because he is just getting started, and he wants to accumulate some experience in making cards and learn the card making skills in the Star Card World. He found that the more focused his mental power is, the clearer the card image will be and the better the data will be. The last Daiyu has a different value from the first one. Although the defense of 16 points is still not high, it has improved compared to 15, at least it is not standing still.
Xie Mingzhe optimistically put away the nine cards and went to the black market with the nine Daiyu cards.
After arriving at the black market, Xie Mingzhe first looked around - a novice who didn't know the prices would be easily cheated, so he researched the market before buying or selling something. This was a habit he had developed from years of online gaming experience. The black market was a good place to research, as it had all kinds of cards.
After a round, he had a rough idea in his mind.
Original one-star low-level cards with good stats and powerful skills will be directly auctioned, or raised to full stars and then sold at a high price. One-star cards on the black market with average stats can be sold for 50 gold coins (about 5 yuan in real life); cards with poor stats and good-looking cards can be sold for 20-30 gold coins; other miscellaneous cards are all sold for less than 10 gold coins.
To cultivate a low-level card into a high-level card, a large amount of upgrade materials are needed, so low-level cards are generally very cheap, especially low-level cards with poor data are almost dirt cheap. Original cards on the black market can still be sold even if their data is not good. The key is the halo bonus of the word "original". These cards are useless and everyone buys them as "collections".
Xie Mingzhe checked the prices and came to a relatively large stall in the black market. Next to the stall was a sign that said "Original Card Purchase". He walked over and asked politely, "Boss, I have some original cards here. Do you want any?"
The boss took his card and took a look at it: "The card is beautifully drawn, but the stats are too low, aren't they?"
Xie Mingzhe had already prepared himself to be laughed at for his data, and said with a smile: "I just started, I'm not experienced yet, the data is indeed a bit low, how much do you think it can sell for?"
The boss stroked his chin and looked left and right, feeling that this card was weird.
The card was beautifully designed, with a pitiful girl with tears on her face, and realistic flowers and rivers as auxiliary decorations, just like a painting. He had never seen such a beautiful card. But the poor data did not match the picture of this card at all, and the sense of disharmony was very serious.
The boss asked in confusion: "Did you make this card yourself? Do you have any more?"
Xie Mingzhe took out the remaining eight cards and said, "That's all I have. Boss, will you take them?"
The boss thought for a moment and said, "These cards are indeed beautiful, but the data is too poor. They are good-looking but useless. Moreover, they are character cards, not cute animal cards. The market is not that big. I can only sell them to some players who like to collect character cards. How about this, 30 gold coins, all nine cards?"
"The card looks so good, isn't 30 too low?"
"It's really not low. If you go around, you'll find that one-star cards only sell for 50 gold coins if they have good data, and 20 gold coins is the average price for cards with good graphics. I'm only offering you 30 gold coins because your card is so beautiful. I may not be able to sell it even if I take your card!"
What the boss said was similar to the market situation Xie Mingzhe had just investigated. After all, the defense of this card was too low, and his psychological price was actually around 20 gold coins. 30 was already considered high, so Xie Mingzhe didn't bother to argue anymore and said simply: "Okay, then 30 each, 9 cards total 270, I'll sell them all to you!"
"Okay!" The two of them happily handed over the money and the goods.
Xie Mingzhe received 270 gold coins and went back to the booth where he had bought Nebula Paper in the afternoon.
When the boss saw him, he greeted him, "It's you, Fatty. You're not going to buy Nebula Paper again, are you?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Old customer, how about giving me 10 tickets for 70 gold coins as usual?"
The boss looked like he was about to vomit blood, and lowered his voice: "Don't tell anyone about this price, or I'll be in big trouble."
Xie Mingzhe had an "I understand" expression on his face: "Yeah, I'll come to buy from you every day from now on."
boss:"…………"
Please spare me! He said he was a novice and had no money in his pocket, but now he has money? Less than half an hour later, he went back to buy nebula paper. Does he look like he has no money? The boss suddenly felt that if this guy went into business, he would definitely be a profiteer.
Xie Mingzhe was very happy after buying the Nebula paper.
Spend 70 to buy paper, make 10 Daiyu cards and sell them for 300, and you can earn 230 from the difference, which is 23 yuan in real currency, enough for a meal.
After becoming proficient, it only takes half an hour to make ten Daiyu cards, and earning more than 20 yuan in half an hour is not a loss. If you persist in doing this for a long time, your life will surely get better slowly.
Xie Mingzhe made up his mind and returned to his personal space in a good mood to continue making Daiyu cards.
***
Almost as soon as he left the black market, a customer came to Boss Zhang's stall.
The other party's ID is "Red Candle". She is about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a red tight dress, black high-heeled sandals, and a pair of big ponytails. Her voice is very crisp and clear: "Boss Zhang, do you have any new original cards these days?"
The boss said respectfully, "Ms. Hongzhu, you can pick any card you want."
Hong Candle said: "In preparation for the new season, our guild only needs cards with higher combat attributes."
The boss handed her a stack of four-star cards with high basic attack power and said, "The ones you pick are 500. As a regular customer, this is a good deal."
Hong Can lowered her head and slowly picked out three good ones. She was obviously a little disappointed and handed the other cards back to the boss: "Anything else?"
The boss said, "These are the ones with the best basic attributes. Would you like to take another look?"
Hong Cang looked around the booth and suddenly, a very special card caught her attention. She squatted down and took a closer look. The card was called "Lin Daiyu". It showed a beautiful woman with tear marks all over her face and tears in her eyes. She held flower petals in her hands and threw them into the water beside her. The fluttering petals were washed away by the running water. This sad and beautiful scene made her feel distressed.
"Hey? This card is really pretty." Hong Cang picked up the card and looked at the data on it -
HP 100, Attack 0, Defense 15. Clearly a failed game with extremely poor attributes.
The skill is "Daiyu Burying Flowers". What a strange name!
Continue reading, skill description: Causes severe damage to flower cards, with a 10% chance of triggering an instant death effect.
Instant death means immediate death. This kind of forced judgment is rare...
Hong Candle repeated it silently in his heart again.
Causes severe damage to flower cards, with a 10% chance of triggering instant death.
The trigger probability of a one-star card is 10%. If it is upgraded and evolved to seven stars, the probability will be...
“!!!!!” At that moment, the hairs on Hongzhu’s back almost stood up. She felt her scalp tingling and her head buzzing as if it was hit hard by a heavy hammer.
The boss saw her face suddenly turn pale and thought she was unwell, so he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ms. Hongzhu? What's wrong with you?"
Hong Cang took a deep breath to calm her pounding heart. She stood up slowly, adjusted her facial expression, and asked casually, "Is this card new?"
The boss smiled and said, "Yes, I received 9."
When he heard the number 9, Hong Cang's fingertips trembled slightly, but he remained calm: "Who made these cards? The pictures are so beautiful?"
The boss said, "I don't know him. He must be a new guy. He looks unfamiliar. I don't remember his name clearly. The card's stats are really terrible. The defense is 15. I have never seen such a low defense value before."
"Have you sold all the nine cards you received?"
"It hasn't been sold yet, I just bought it!"
"I want them all."
"Ah?" The boss was stunned. "You want all of them?"
"This card is pretty. I'll give it to the girls in the guild to keep as a collection." Hong Cang said with a smile, "Boss, name a price. I want all of them."
This woman may look short, but she is actually a fierce character - the president of Fenghua Guild, and is respectfully called "Red Candle Sister". She is also the person in charge of collecting cards and materials in the game of Fenghua Club, and her research on cards is more thorough than many people.
She has a very special hobby, which is to browse the black market when she is bored, and specialize in finding original cards. Although she looked nonchalant and said that she liked the picture of this card, the boss still kept a wary eye on her, thinking that the card that Hong Cang liked must be extraordinary. So he secretly doubled the price: "60 a piece?"
Hong Can was playing with the cards in his hand and chuckled, "You really know how to tease me. A one-star character card with rubbish attributes. It looks good but is useless. The market price is only about 20 gold coins. I bought so many seven-star cards from you, and you still tease me like this. Forget it, I don't want it. You can keep it and sell it slowly."
She put down the cards and turned to leave, but the boss immediately stopped her with a smile, "Hey, hey, just kidding. I'll sell it to you for 35 gold coins. To be honest, I charged you 34. At least let me earn some hard work fee."
Hong Cang knew that the boss, a profiteer, was definitely not telling the truth, but the price of more than 30 gold coins was not worth mentioning to her. She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and immediately put on a nonchalant smile, settled the bill with the boss, and casually said, "By the way, several girls in our club have been collecting character cards recently, especially those with exquisite painting styles. If someone sells you this character card again in the future, please take all of them and pass them to me so that I can give them to my sisters."
"Okay, okay, no problem!" The boss smiled as he counted the money.
Hong Candle turned and left.
She walked around the black market again, carefully searching several large purchasing booths, but didn't find the same card. She loosened her tightly clenched fingers. Hong Cang took a deep breath, quickly took off her helmet, and turned to the office next door.
Next door, Xue Linxiang was checking competition information when she suddenly saw Hong Cang hurriedly walking in with a pale face.
Xue Linxiang asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
Hong Can took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions, and said quickly: "Sister Xue, I just found a very strange card when I was browsing the black market. The skill is to cause heavy damage to flower cards, and there is a chance that it will trigger an instant death judgment!"
Xue Linxiang was startled and stood up from her seat. "Instant death judgment? Specifically for flower cards?"
Hong Candle nodded.
Xue Linxiang looked unhappy: "Get me the card data right now!"
Hong Cang opened the data-interconnected tablet computer on the desktop, logged into the account and retrieved the card. He pointed at the card and said, "The basic attributes are terrible, and the defense is ridiculously low, only 15 points. Even if it is upgraded to seven stars, it will not exceed 1,000 defense. However, its skills..."
Xue Linxiang looked at the pitiful woman in the picture, with tears on her face, throwing flower petals into the water, and suddenly a very strange feeling arose in her heart.
It gave her the creeps.
——Daiyu Buries Flowers: Causes severe damage to flower cards, with a 10% chance of triggering an instant death effect.
10% probability, this is a level 1 card. According to the rule that the skill judgment probability increases by one point with each level upgrade, the probability of a level 70 black card can be directly increased to 80%. Then use some special high-level hit materials to strengthen it, and the skill judgment probability of the later full-level black card Lin Daiyu can definitely reach 100%!
——Daiyu buried flowers, which 100% triggered the death of flowers. The consequences are disastrous!
Xue Linxiang paced back and forth in the room, took a deep breath, and then calmed down. She said, "You don't need to look at the basic data of this card. The 15 points of defense is nothing, because it doesn't need defense at all! It's just a functional card. Its biggest function is to quickly destroy the opponent's trump card flower!"
She paused, frowning. "There are many flower cards in Xiao Tang's deck, such as the [Evening Jasmine] he sold before. It has 100,000 health and 50,000 defense, and is very difficult to kill. However, Daiyu Burial Flower will trigger a 'Forced Death' judgment against flower cards, and immediately destroy Xiao Tang's flower cards. As long as it appears on the field, against Tang Muzhou... you know the consequences, right?"
Hong Candle nodded, his voice trembling slightly: "The strongest flower trump card that killed Tang Shen in one move, completely disrupting Tang Shen's rhythm."
Xue Linxiang felt a chill down her spine: "This card is the natural nemesis of the Wood Flower deck!"
Hongzhu's face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time.
Her intuition was right. Fortunately, she bought all the cards and didn't let them flow out. Otherwise, once the card collectors from other clubs found out and cultivated the card into a seven-star black card, Tang Muzhou would be in great threat!
Xue Linxiang took a deep breath and looked at this poignant card with a sharp gaze: "Who made this card specifically for flowers?"
Hong Candle said nervously: "The boss said that he couldn't remember the man's name either. I'll send someone to investigate right away!"
Xue Linxiang clenched her fists and said, "You must find this person for me as soon as possible!"

At the same time, Xie Mingzhe, who knew nothing about all this, continued to paint Lin Daiyu in his personal space.
One photo of Lin Daiyu... Two photos of Lin Daiyu...
The speed is getting faster and faster, and the pictures are becoming more and more refined.
After finishing the ten Lin Daiyu cards, Xie Mingzhe temporarily stopped working. He stroked his chin with a smile and thought: Where should I sell them this time?
