After Qin Xuan finished making the eight small scenes of the Grand View Garden, Chen Qianlin, the head coach, arranged a few team training matches. One purpose was to let everyone get familiar with the self-made scenes of the Nirvana Club, and the other was to see if there were any bugs or areas that needed to be modified in the scenes.
Xie Mingzhe, Yu Ke, Qin Xuan and Chen Xiao competed in different scenes. After three days of testing, the data of some scenes were adjusted and finally finalized by Chen Qianlin.
Yu Ke's favorites are still the "Blood Pond Hell" and "Vampire Castle" he made before. His aesthetic taste has always been like this. He thinks the scene where the whole map is covered with skeletons is "very beautiful" and the scene where the sky is full of crows is "very cool."
Chen Xiao prefers "Yihongyuan" because the increased critical hit rate of the entire map when the night banquet is on allows him to predict the time in advance and clear the field quickly. Qin Xuan prefers "Hengwuyuan" because the flower sea illusion that appears every once in a while allows him to quickly adjust his strategy and use the scene to control the situation.
Xie Mingzhe is very philanthropic. He practices all the scenes repeatedly, especially the timing of the scene events, which he must remember in his mind. In the future, when he is on the court, he can use these scene events to do something.
The 11th season will officially begin in April next year. March is the period for all major clubs to submit their maps to the league for review. There is still nearly half a year before the Nirvana Club scene cards officially appear in front of the audience, and Xie Mingzhe is looking forward to it.
Next, he will continue to improve the deck, and if there are good ideas for the scenes, they can continue to be enriched. The league does not limit the number of scene cards submitted by the club, the more the better, and there will be more choices for future competitions.
Most of the masters in the Professional League specialize in a certain card type. Xie Mingzhe has now made a fire card group for Dongwu, a gold card group for Shu Kingdom, and a water card group for Honglou. He also made an earth card group for Yu Ke, involving four card groups. Since the master said that card making can be not limited to a certain card group, but a balanced development of the five card groups, then he can continue to make earth and wood cards.
Xiao Ke has a hand of earth-type joker cards, but Xie Mingzhe does not have many earth-type character cards in his hand. Currently, he has set three god cards, Fuxi, Nuwa and Pangu, as earth-type. In the future, when playing doubles games, Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke will become partners. If there are many cards of the same type, there will be a "protection of the main star" buff bonus. He really needs to make a complete set of earth-type cards to cooperate with Xiao Ke.
When it comes to earth-type cards, the most famous one is naturally the Ghost Hell Club. Zheng Feng is the founder of the earth-type, and Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu of Ghost Hell are also earth-type masters.
Earth cards have many advantages. First, the health and defense limit of Earth cards are the highest among the five cards. Lao Zheng's White Elephant has 200,000 health points, which has not been surpassed so far. Secondly, Earth cards have the strongest counterattack. The Earth Wall can directly bounce back the damage received, making the opponent pick up rocks and drop them on their own feet. Furthermore, Earth cards also have a lot of negative control, such as petrification, grounding, and delay.
Gui Sirui's earth-type joker card is quite special. He completely abandoned the "earth-type defense flow" and instead made an "earth-type assassination flow". Since the joker card can hide underground, the advantage of the earth-type card's good at invisibility was brought to the extreme by him.
Liu Jingxu's earth-related cards are also very distinctive. He made the monster race into a dual-form earth-related card. In monster form, it has high attack and a lot of control. In human form, it has high health and strong defense. It can switch between offense and defense, and its playing style is extremely flexible.
Therefore, Earth-type cards do not necessarily have to be high HP cards. The Earth-type's attack is also not weak, it all depends on how the card maker chooses.
Xie Mingzhe has sorted out his thoughts in the past few days. It's time to let the monsters and ghosts from "Journey to the West" appear - because monsters and ghost cards are most convenient to make earth-related cards.
Speaking of the monsters in Journey to the West, the one that impressed him the most was the White Bone Demon. The story of "Sun Wukong's Three Defeats of the White Bone Demon" has been passed down from mouth to mouth and is almost known to everyone. It was also his favorite part of Journey to the West in his childhood.
It is said that when Tang Monk and his disciples were on their way to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, they passed by a desolate mountain. The monster White Bone Demon who lived there discovered Tang Monk. She had heard the rumor that "eating Tang Monk's flesh would make one immortal", so she wanted to get some of his flesh to taste.
The White Bone Demon first transformed into a beautiful young woman who was delivering food to her husband, hoping to trick Tang Sanzang. Sun Wukong saw that it was the White Bone Demon and killed her with a stick, but the White Bone Demon used a "corpse dissection method" to leave a corpse and ran away. Because the corpse of the young woman that the White Bone Demon transformed into was too realistic, Tang Sanzang mistakenly thought she was a human, and blamed Sun Wukong for killing innocent people, and did not believe Sun Wukong's explanation at all.
The four masters and apprentices set out on their journey again. The White Bone Demon turned into an old woman again and claimed that they had beaten her daughter to death. Sun Wukong naturally saw through her trick and beat her to death with a stick. The White Bone Demon once again left a fake corpse and ran away. Tang Seng felt that Wukong had killed two innocent people in a row, so he recited the Tightening Curse, and Sun Wukong rolled on the ground in pain.
The cunning White Bone Demon became addicted to playing with schizophrenia. In the third chapter, she turned into an old man and cried to Monk Tang, "You killed my wife and daughter." Sun Wukong was furious and beat the White Bone Demon to death with a stick. This time, the White Bone Demon finally showed its true form, a pile of bones and skulls.
Monsters can switch between "human form" and "monster form", and the design of the White Bone Demon card can also follow this principle. Moreover, the White Bone Demon was beaten three times by Sun Wukong before revealing its true form. According to this idea, it can be designed as a flexible transformation card to attract the opponent's firepower. When it attracts enough, it will leave behind a "fake corpse" and escape.
Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea!
He first memorized the design concept of the White Bone Demon, and then searched the Internet for how to draw "human bones".
Xie Mingzhe has not studied medicine, so he still needs to look at professional anatomical diagrams to learn how to draw bones specifically.
The Bai Gu Jing is set as a female in terms of gender. He looked up information and found that the female pelvis is different from the male pelvis. The female pelvis is wide, the pelvic cavity is shallow, and the angle of the pubic arch below is greater than 90 degrees, while the male pelvis is completely opposite. If you don't check the information and just draw it randomly, people who have studied medicine will definitely make a fool of themselves when they see it.
Since we are making cards, we must be serious. Xie Mingzhe also reflected the detailed differences between male and female skeletons in the image design of the White Bone Demon, so that even professionals can judge that the White Bone Demon is a female demon just by looking at the pelvis.
After drawing the original form of the White Bone Demon, Xie Mingzhe began to draw three human forms transformed from the White Bone Demon.
The first young woman, according to the description in the original novel, has fair skin, a graceful figure, and is dressed very sexy. The lustful Zhu Bajie's eyes light up when he sees her, and he wants to take her home as his wife. The White Bone Demon transforms into a young woman from a farm family. She is dressed in simple clothes, but her makeup is somewhat glamorous and seductive. Because she pretends to deliver food to her husband, she also holds a lunch box basket in her hand.
Xie Mingzhe painted the second old lady and the third old man according to his own understanding of elderly people. It was not difficult to paint an old man with wrinkled faces and hunched bodies, and he finished them quickly.
The question now is how to combine the four images? If the four images are put together directly, the card will be too messy and the system will not be able to pass the review. But if they are combined into one, it will become a mess...
Xie Mingzhe had a headache and wanted to ask his master, but found that his master had gone upstairs to sleep. It happened that he chatted with Tang Muzhou every night before going to bed, so he shamelessly sent a message to Tang Shen: "Brother, I have a problem. If a demon card has many forms, how can I put multiple forms into the same card?"
"..." Tang Muzhou suppressed his laughter and asked, "Why did you start making monster cards again?"
Junior brother's imagination keeps changing. He made a bunch of character cards, a joker card for Yu Ke, and now he wants to make a monster card? Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu from the Ghost Hell Club will definitely want to have a human mixed doubles match against him if they see his joker and monster cards appear on the field in the future.
"I plan to make a set of earth-type demon cards, so that I can cooperate with Yu Ke in doubles matches." Xie Mingzhe paused and said worriedly, "Will Master Liu Jingxu have any opinions on me?"
"That won't happen." Tang Muzhou said, "Liu Jingxu is a research maniac. Knowing that you make monster cards will only make him more interested in you. It's not like certain types of cards in the Star Card Game are sold out by anyone. Anyone can make them."
"That's good." Xie Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "This monster card I designed has an original form and three variants. How can I combine them into one card?"
"You can't fuse monster cards directly, but you have to stack them in layers." Tang Muzhou was too lazy to continue typing, so he just made a voice call and explained in detail, "You need to make four cards separately, and then stack them layer by layer. In this way, the system will determine that you are designing a monster card. When you first summon it, the system will automatically display the image and data of the first layer. When it transforms, the image data of the second, third, and fourth layers will appear."
"So that's how it is!" Xie Mingzhe was enlightened and finally understood the design pattern of the monster card.
"Officially, only two types of data are allowed on monster cards. The human form is mainly for defense, while the monster form is mainly for attack and control. When you design the transformation, it is best to design two types of data according to the rules. Because monster cards are complex and changeable, the official has also made some restrictions. The total skills of the transformation and human form cannot exceed three, and including the joint skills, it cannot exceed four." Tang Muzhou very considerately sent a card data and reminded, "For the specific design, you can take a look at Liu Jingxu's Fox Monster card."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, brother!" Xie Mingzhe expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Tang Muzhou smiled and said softly, "Make the card first. When you're done, you can send it to me if you don't mind."
"Okay!" After finishing the video conversation with Tang Muzhou, Xie Mingzhe suddenly became enlightened.
He quickly set the data for the four cards of the White Bone Demon.
Since his senior brother had reminded him that he could only make two versions of the data, to prevent him from taking a detour and failing the review, Xie Mingzhe set the data of the White Bone Demon's demon form to a card with high attack and critical hit, with the white bone claws attacking the opponent at close range. The other character forms were set to earth cards with high defense to attract hatred and resist damage.
After the four layers of cards were designed, he concentrated his mental power to stack them one layer at a time.
After the cards are stacked, different lusters appear on them. The "white bones" image on the first layer is the most obvious, but as the light changes, images on other layers can be vaguely seen.
The design of the Yao brand is really interesting!
The four-layer monster card was the most complicated card he had ever made. It took him three full hours to make it. It was not until late at night that Xie Mingzhe finally finished the card.

Additional skills: Monster transformation (White Bone Spirit can transform into three types of characters: a beautiful young woman, a hunchbacked old lady, and an old man with gray hair. Each time it transforms, its basic attributes automatically change to the initial data of the human race/monster race; the transformation cooldown time is 30 seconds)
Additional Skills: Corpse Removal (Passive skill. Bai Gu Jing can use "Corpse Removal". When she transforms into a human, she will actively taunt the designated enemy card and force the opponent's attack to fall on herself. If she is attacked and her health is less than 30%, she will leave a human fake corpse on the spot, and her real body will disappear. After 30 seconds, she will change into another character form and appear on the field, continuing to taunt the designated enemy card. Corpse Removal can be used up to three times. After the enemy sees through her fake corpse three times, Bai Gu Jing will be forced to show her true form as a demon.)
Additional Skills: Bone Claws (When Bai Gu Jing is in demon form and activates the skill, her basic defense decreases by 50% and her basic attack increases by 50%. She can teleport to the designated target and quickly launch three consecutive attacks of Bone Claws on the target, each causing 70% earth damage, a total of 210% single earth damage. If all three consecutive attacks hit, the target will be given the negative status of "bleeding", losing an additional 2% blood per second for 10 seconds. The cooldown time is 90 seconds)
It was late at night when Xie Mingzhe finished making this card. He rubbed his swollen temples and connected the card to the database for review. As a result, he received another email: "Sorry, the database is temporarily unable to make a preparation judgment on your card. Please wait for manual review."
Xie Mingzhe: “…”
Submitted to the manual channel again?
This was the second time he received such an email. It seemed that the database could not judge cards that deviated from the original rules. Jia Baoyu was disturbed by the system's judgment because he summoned Daiyu and Baochai. Bai Gu Jing was obviously confused because of the three transformations and the card stacking reached four layers, so the system had to submit it for manual review.
The data analysts who were working overtime again late at night wanted to catch Uncle Fatty and give him a beating.
Even Uncle Fat's supporter, the ponytailed girl Zou Xiaoning, couldn't help but say, "Why does he always check in at midnight? If you see him in the future, can you ask him for overtime pay?!"
The man in the shirt couldn't help but complain: "He's started making monster cards again... and he even made three variants!"
The middle-aged woman shrugged helplessly: "He really knows how to make trouble!"
The official data analysts had a splitting headache and started discussing the design of this card late at night.
After a heated debate, everyone finally came to the conclusion: "Although the White Bone Demon has three transformations, which is different from the design of ordinary demon cards that only have one transformation, Uncle Pang strictly designed it according to the rules of demon cards. The number of skills and card data are within the specified range, and there is no problem with the cooldown time of the transformation."
——Passed unanimously.
Xie Mingzhe thought that the manual review would not have a result until tomorrow, just like Jia Baoyu's case. Unexpectedly, this time, he received an official review approval email after only ten minutes.
Probably because of his senior's reminder, he strictly controlled the scope when designing skills and allocating data, and referred to the skill cooldown time of Liu Jingxu's demon card, so the official data engineers did not let him modify this card and passed it directly.
Xie Mingzhe sent a message to Tang Muzhou: "The card has passed the review. Brother, I'll send it to you to take a look."
Anyway, next time he plays against the players from Fenghua Team 2, he will definitely bring the new card for experimentation, so it doesn't matter if his senior sees it earlier. Besides, he trusts his senior and he won't reveal his card to the players from Team 2 in advance.
Tang Muzhou had been waiting for his message, and replied immediately after receiving it: "This card is well designed, and it is a very strong earth-type hatred card."
In the original novel, the White Bone Demon can withstand three critical hits from Sun Wukong, so when Xie Mingzhe designed it, he wanted to make it a powerful and flexible hatred card. In demon form, it teleports to launch a single attack. Since the basic attack is not high, the attack skill of this card is not particularly strong - what is strong is the hatred in human form.
She has three chances to transform, and can taunt the opponent's key cards three times in a row, forcing the opponent to return the damage to her. When the opponent's health is reduced to 30%, she will leave behind a fake corpse and run away. After running away, she will change into another form after 30 seconds, continue to taunt the opponent, and leave behind a corpse when the opponent is disabled... It takes three times to truly kill the White Bone Demon.
There are fake corpses all over the ground, and the opponents are about to be annoyed to death by the White Bone Demon.
Tang Muzhou praised his junior brother, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart - among all the hatred cards in the alliance, the hatred of the White Bone Demon could definitely be ranked in the top three. It's not because of how high her health is or how strong her defense is, but because her skills are too annoying.
Xie Mingzhe was quite humble after being praised, and replied: "This is my first time learning to make an earth-type demon card. Thanks to my senior brother's guidance, I was able to pass the review smoothly."
The young man's voice was full of excitement and joy. Tang Muzhou couldn't help but smile as he listened. He said softly, "I was just giving you a few words of advice. You are very quick-witted. It's almost two o'clock. Go to bed first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."
Xie Mingzhe was startled, only then did he realize that it was already two o'clock in the morning.
He asked doubtfully, "It's so late, aren't you sleeping yet, brother?"
Tang Muzhou said: "I want to stay with you until you finish making the new card."
Xie Mingzhe: “…”
The low voice echoing in my ears was extremely gentle, and every word warmed my eardrums.
Tang Muzhou didn't sleep just to accompany him and wait for him to finish this difficult demon card. Although the two were far apart and only communicated with each other by voice, in the quiet night, such gentle company warmed Xie Mingzhe's heart.
He didn't know what to say, he just felt his heart beating faster.
Tang Muzhou sent another text message right after that: "Go to sleep, good night :)"
Xie Mingzhe could only reply with text: "You too, have a sweet dream^_^"
"You've always been in my dreams these past few days." Tang Muzhou typed this line, thought about it, and still didn't press the send button.
If this message were sent, Xie Mingzhe would probably not be able to sleep.
Today was the first time he made a demon card. It took him several hours to make four stacked cards. He must be very tired. Let him have a good sleep. There was no need to disturb his thoughts at this time.
Thinking of this, Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, deleted the message, turned off the computer and went to sleep.
——The greatest tenderness I give you is to silently protect and wait for you without forcing you to make any choice. I believe that one day, you will understand my feelings for you.
