Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao said something in unison, but Qin Xuan didn't hear it clearly. His attention was all on "Chen Xiao made a lot of dark plant cards". He was very curious about Chen Xiao's plant cards, so he followed the two to Nirvana Studio. But he heard Xie Mingzhe say that his ID in the game was Fat Uncle?

Fat Uncle? This ID has been really popular recently. Almost everyone who plays Star Card Storm knows him. Discussions about Fat Uncle have been posted for many hours on the forums. His unique character card deck has also attracted many fans.

Qin Xuan couldn't make so many cards by himself, so he admired Uncle Fat for being able to create original cards. He always thought Uncle Fat was a gentle, kind and talented middle-aged man. As a result, Xie Mingzhe suddenly revealed that he was Uncle Fat. Qin Xuan seemed to be affected by the chaotic and negative state, staring at him for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Facing his roommate's gaze, Xie Mingzhe coughed guiltily and explained, "Qin Xuan, don't be angry, I didn't mean to lie to you. Brother Chen approached you before and wanted you to come to the studio, but you were too cautious and refused to come no matter what. So I came up with this idea, to bring the cards made by Brother Chen back to the dormitory for you to see and arouse your interest."

Chen Xiao quickly agreed, "That's right. We sincerely want to invite you to join Nirvana. Nirvana Studio currently has two original card designers, Xiao Xie and I. Your painting skills are so solid, you will definitely be a great help to us."

Xie Mingzhe said, "Besides, we will also design scene cards exclusive to the club in the future. You are very good at drawing scenes, which is also the key reason why we want to bring you in as a partner."

Qin Xuan's confusion was finally lifted, and he looked at Xie Mingzhe with a stiff expression: "Are you really the Fat Uncle?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and nodded: "There's no need for me to pretend to be Fatty to deceive you. If you don't believe me, I'll take out the character cards I designed and show them to you now."

When Xie Mingzhe was making physical cards for Chen Xiao's cards, he also made a few cards, including the two beauties Xi Shi and Zhaojun, the cute little Cao Chong, and the handsome Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. Due to limited time, he only made these five representative cards. He plans to make all the cards into physical cards in the future, which can be distributed to fans as peripheral benefits of the club in the future.

Physical cards can summon star card phantoms in the real world. Looking at the phantoms of special characters appearing in front of him, Qin Xuan was completely silent.

Only the original card author has the right to make his own card into a physical form. The person in front of me is obviously the author himself. My roommate who I spend every day with is actually a master in the game... It feels like buying a lottery ticket on the street and winning 5 million. It's unbelievable!

Xie Mingzhe looked at Qin Xuan with a smile and said shamelessly: "I remember that you nodded just now, so I took it as you agreed to join our Nirvana Studio, right?"

The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth twitched. Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao had just talked too much, which made his mind completely confused. When he heard that the great Chen Qianlin was also in the club, he nodded in a daze... It was too late to deny it now.

Seeing that his roommate had no objection, Xie Mingzhe said excitedly, "Great! Let's go have a midnight snack together after watching the cards, and I'll introduce you to our studio!"

Qin Xuan: “…”

It seems that he can only make the best of a bad situation?

Following the two people into the living room, Qin Xuan discovered that the place was arranged like a game room, with many swivel chairs and smart helmets placed side by side. Several people were wearing helmets and immersed in the game, so they did not notice them.

Chen Xiao picked up the computer and projected all the cards he made onto the virtual screen, introducing them to Qin Xuan one by one.

Looking at the various dark plant cards in front of him, Qin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he admired Chen Xiao very much. He had wasted a lot of brain cells in order to make plant cards, and in the end he only made a few. He didn't expect Chen Xiao to be so amazing, making more than a dozen cards without any duplication!

However, Qin Xuan still showed no expression on the surface - this was his habit.

After Chen Xiao introduced for a long time, he found that Qin Xuan was as still as a wooden man, and couldn't help asking: "What do you think?"

Qin Xuan lowered his head and thought for a moment before giving a one-word evaluation: "Very good."

Chen Xiao: “…”

It’s so tiring to chat with him. I’ve been talking for a long time and my mouth is dry, and all I hear is one sentence: Very good!

Roommates are just so quiet. Seeing Chen Xiao stupefied, Xie Mingzhe wanted to laugh, but when he met Chen Xiao's depressed eyes, he still held back his smile and said seriously: "How about this, call Sister Qing and the others, as well as Master and Xiao Ke, and we will all go for a midnight snack together. Welcome Qin Xuan to join Nirvana!"

Chen Xiao also agreed and turned back to inform Chi Qing and the others to gather at the restaurant outside the community after completing the dungeon.

Half an hour later, people from Nirvana Studio arrived one after another, and there were nine people in total including Qin Xuan.

To Qin Xuan's surprise, he actually saw a familiar figure - wasn't this Yu Ke?

Facing his cold gaze, Yu Ke stood at attention as if he was cast into a spell, and said with a dry laugh: "Hey, I'm also a player from Nirvana Studio. I didn't expect you to really want to join. We'll be teammates in the future. Please take care of me!"

Qin Xuan: “…Yeah.”

Even Yu Ke is a regular player? If I join this team, will they be used as punching bags by other clubs to play in the professional league? They will definitely lose badly...

Qin Xuan has already started to prepare himself mentally for being scolded by netizens in the future.

Xie Mingzhe didn't know that his roommate had a lot of ideas in his head despite his expressionless face. He thought Qin Xuan was just not used to being with strangers, so he introduced him enthusiastically: "Qin Xuan, our Nirvana is just a studio now, but sooner or later we will officially establish a club!"

"This is Sister Qing, the general president of our Nirvana Guild, and our most important logistics manager. Pang Yu and Jin Yue are both vice presidents of the guild, in charge of daily dungeons and the arena, and help us collect materials. Yingying is our current publicity officer and will be the club's public relations manager in the future."

"My master, Lin Shen, is the head coach of our club. The remaining four players are me, Brother Chen, Xiao Ke, and you! However, we are short-handed now, so you have to take on the role of art director, while Brother Chen and I will work part-time as card designers."

"..." Qin Xuan didn't know what to say. Although the studio with only nine people looked extremely shabby, it was small but had everything it needed. Guild management, publicity and public relations, card designers, scene designers, and head coaches were all available.

"The team competition is a 4v4 format. We currently only have four players. It sounds weak, but it's not the quantity of people that matters, but the quality. Those big clubs have so many players that it's hard to recognize them all, but in the end only a few can stand out." Chen Xiao really has the demeanor of a boss when talking about business. He was a professional player, so his experience is naturally much richer than that of three college students. He looked around the room and said with a smile, "Since everyone in the studio is gathered today, why don't we have a meeting and talk about the next plan."

"Brother Chen, you know more about the professional league than anyone else." Xie Mingzhe suggested, "Why don't you tell us about your future plans?"

"I don't know anything anyway. I'll do whatever you tell me to do." Yu Ke said with a smile.

Qin Xuan glanced at the young boy sitting next to him and felt a slight pain in his temples. Brother Chen and Xie Mingzhe seemed more reliable. How did Yu Ke get in? Judging from his appearance, this guy, who is only about 1.6 meters tall, has a childish face like an elementary school student, and loves to smile silly, doesn't look like a master at all? How about trying to PK with him some other day?

Chen Xiao did not refuse and said straightforwardly: "The new season of the league officially starts in April every year, but the competition system may be adjusted every season. The first half of this year is from April to June for doubles competitions, and the second half of the year is from August to December for individual and team competitions. It may not be the same next year. But no matter what, we must make all preparations before April next year."

"Professional players register in mid-February every year, and the Star Card Master Invitational Tournament starts after the New Year. In other words, we need to participate in the National Star Card Master Invitational Tournament after January 1st of next year, make it to the top 16, and obtain the registration qualification for professional players. Once we become official professional players, we must immediately register for the 11th season of the competition in April. The time is very tight."

"It's almost October now, and there are still two months to go before the Star Card Master Invitational. During this time, we must improve our decks as quickly as possible, improve our individual competitive skills, and find time to cooperate with our teammates and play more doubles and group matches. If the format of next year's competition is also to play doubles first in the first half of the year, if we don't cooperate well enough, we will definitely be bullied."

Xie Mingzhe was not very nervous before, and always felt that the competition was still a long way off. But after hearing what Brother Chen said, Xie Mingzhe also felt that time was really very tight. What's more difficult is that he still has to go to school. The school curriculum is already very heavy. It is almost impossible to complete card design, competitive awareness training, and cooperation with teammates in his spare time.

Professional players from major clubs train for at least eight hours a day, and some hard-working players even train for more than twelve hours. If he only trains for two or three hours a day, how can he compete with others? Talent is indeed important, but there are so many talented players in the league. Others are not only talented, but also work harder than you. How can you beat your opponents?

Xie Mingzhe realized the seriousness of the problem, so he kept the time in mind and planned to think about a solution later.

Chen Xiao continued, "Since we are going to set up a club, let's divide the work up - Xiao Xie and I will be responsible for the card pool production, Ah Qing, Jin Yue and Xiao Pang will be responsible for the guild management, Yingying will be the player agent in the future, responsible for daily affairs such as accommodation arrangements and advertising endorsements; Qin Xuan, you will help us draw the scene cards, and by the way, you can also help me check the image design of the plant cards. Does anyone have any questions?"

Everyone agreed, and Chi Qing made the decision, "Don't worry, I will try my best to collect all the card materials you use in the future. The guild warehouse has been upgraded to level 5 and is almost full of space."

Chi Yingying said: "I have never been a broker, but I will work hard to learn."

Yu Ke raised his hand: "What about me? What am I responsible for?"

Chen Xiao smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Just take responsibility for yourself. Practice your skills well and play well in the competition!"

Yu Ke nodded obediently: "Oh, I understand!"

Chen Qianlin added calmly: "Let's create a studio group so we can keep in touch later."

Chen Xiao immediately added everyone's social media accounts to a group called "Nirvana Club". Xie Mingzhe looked at the familiar IDs one by one and felt mixed emotions.

Finally, we have found all the people. Although there are only a few of them, at least we can form a team for group battles.

The reason why he included Qin Xuan in the team battle list was because he sent the video of Qin Xuan's game to his master. Chen Qianlin felt that Qin Xuan was not inferior to Yu Ke in terms of consciousness and reaction speed, so he could be trained. Xie Mingzhe then felt relieved and bold to drag Qin Xuan into the water.

According to Chen Qianlin's idea, in future team battles, Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe will be the main attackers, Yu Ke will look for opportunities to assassinate, and Qin Xuan can assist from the back.

The league stipulates that players from the same club can share decks. The dark plant cards made by Chen Xiao can be directly used by Qin Xuan. Xie Mingzhe uses character cards, and Yu Ke uses joker cards. They are all mixed together. They need more practice in coordination.

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to raise his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate the new member joining our Nirvana!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and Qin Xuan also raised his with a stiff expression and took a sip.

He became a member of Nirvana in this way. When he returned to the dormitory, he was still a little dazed and felt like he was dreaming.

Xie Mingzhe assured him earnestly, "Don't worry, Qin Xuan. You won't regret joining us. Brother Chen has already said that you can use his plant cards as you like. You can also take my character cards and Xiao Ke's joker cards if you like them. We can share the deck in the future."

Qin Xuan actually joined for this reason. He was particularly interested in those strange cards. In addition to Brother Chen's dark plants, there were also character cards and joker cards. He also wanted to try them out himself.

Perhaps because they were teammates, Qin Xuan's expression was no longer so cold this time. He looked at Xie Mingzhe and said, "You are really a hidden talent. There are many fans of yours in our class. Yesterday I heard them discussing that Uncle Fatty's cards were very good-looking. If they knew you were Uncle Fatty..."

Xie Mingzhe made a "huh" gesture with his lips and smiled brightly: "You and Xiao Ke are the only ones in the school who know my identity. Don't tell anyone! I have too much hatred in the game. If the school is managed by major guilds, I might be cornered and beaten."

Qin Xuan's mouth twitched and he uttered a stiff "hmm". He thought to himself, he is quite self-aware.

Xie Mingzhe said, "By the way, I have an idea for a scene card. Let me tell you about my idea. Take a look. Can you draw it when you have some free time these days? The scene is called Blood Pond Hell..."

He told Qin Xuan in detail his idea of ​​the blood pool hell.

After all, Qin Xuan was a professional who had studied art since childhood and had a solid foundation. After listening to Xie Mingzhe's general description, a dark scene with black and red as the main colors quickly formed in his mind. The blood plasma that kept rolling on the ground caused all the cards to lose a lot of health. Coupled with the rendering of the environmental color, it was indeed very convenient for Yu Ke to use the joker to assassinate unexpectedly.

After coming up with the idea, Qin Xuan immediately took out a drawing board and pen and quickly drew some lines on paper, and asked Xie Mingzhe: "Do you think this design is okay?"

Xie Mingzhe was completely confused. He really couldn't understand his stream-of-consciousness draft at all!

Qin Xuan saw his roommate's confused face and knew that his draft was indeed... a bit messy, so he said, "I'd better finish the drawing before showing it to you. I'll make some revisions and have it ready within three days."

Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up: "You are really efficient. I will wait for you to produce the drawings!"

Qin Xuan nodded and turned around to perfect the draft.

Xie Mingzhe posted the good news that Qin Xuan was going to design the Blood Pond Hell scene card in the Nirvana group, and Yu Ke immediately popped up and said, "Great, Qin Xuan you are so nice!"

Qin Xuan: “???”

He got a nice guy card for no apparent reason, but it was just the right thing to do for him. Since he joined Nirvana for the sake of interesting cards, he had to fulfill his duties as a scene designer.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan said, "I can change the picture of the vampire castle in the exhibition and give it to you. Change the crows in the scene into a random dynamic effect. Every once in a while, a flock of crows will fly across the sky, blocking the moonlight and making the map completely black, making it easier for you to move around as the Black Impermanence. Do you think this will work?"

Yu Kejian was so excited that he wanted to run laps downstairs: "That's great! I won't be able to sleep tonight! Blood Pond Hell, Vampire Castle, these will be my home maps from now on, hehehehehe!"

Qin Xuan: “…”

Just like an excited little puppy who has eaten a bone.

Xie Mingzhe also thought that Qin Xuan’s scene design was very interesting. The dynamic environmental effects of the flock of crows made it very convenient for Yu Ke to carry out the assassination. This gave him some inspiration - perhaps many famous ancient military war maps could also be designed into scene cards. He had to think about it carefully!
