At 8:30 pm, the guild territory was decided.
"Is there any news about that fat uncle yet?" Huanyue asked with a frown.
"He never replied to Shuangshuang's emails." Canyang came back from a trip to the black market, feeling so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. "I didn't find the card made by Fatty Uncle in the black market. And many guilds are searching the black market. I wonder if those people also bought the Wu Song card?"
"Don't be impatient," Huanyue calmed down and analyzed, "The 20 cards he made may not all be Wu Song. According to the undercover report, Fenghua Guild is buying beauty cards. I guess he should have made a beauty character card before the Wu Song card, which shocked Fenghua Guild."
"Yes!" Canyang suddenly came back to his senses, "I have received reports from undercover agents before, saying that Hong Cang was buying a large number of beauty cards and even opened a booth specifically for buying beauty cards. Maybe that beauty card was made by this fat uncle?"
"There have been very few powerful character card authors in recent years. This must be him." Huanyue touched his chin and thought, "To be able to alarm Hong Cang, the skill of his beauty card must be extraordinary. It might even be an instant death sentence. This makes sense. This fat uncle first made a beauty card to attract Hong Cang's attention, and the Wu Song card happened to be bought by both of them. Our two guilds searched the black market at the same time, and other guilds heard the news and rushed to join in the fun."
"I hope so. Wu Songka may not have been scattered on the black market." Canyang prayed silently in his heart.
"By the way, do you remember how Tang Muzhou made his debut?" Huanyue suddenly changed the subject.
"Of course I remember. Tang Shen made his debut in the black market. He first made some low-level plant cards and sold them on the black market. They were very popular. Many people lined up to buy his cards. I heard that the black market was almost crowded with his fans..."
"Selling cards on the black market." Huanyue interrupted the vice president's chatter, "Don't you think this routine is familiar to you?"
"!!!" Canyang finally reacted, "President, what you mean is that Fatty is imitating Tang Muzhou?"
"No. I'm more worried that this fat uncle will become the second Tang Muzhou."
"..." Canyang couldn't believe the president's speculation, "The second Tang Muzhou? A genius in the card-making world? Just relying on this Wu Song card?!"
"The Wu Song card is indeed too niche, but instant death skills are difficult to make. It requires the card maker to concentrate his mental power and kill the target with one strike. I have a bad feeling that this person may make more strange character cards next, perhaps with instant death skills targeting various magic cards, or with other skills..."
Huanyue paused, frowning, with a serious expression that was a little scary: "Tang Muzhou was the same at the beginning. He only made ornamental plant cards at the beginning. Later, he perfected the entire plant card group with his outstanding talent - trees, vines, succulents, flowers, and various powerful cards emerged one after another. Tang Muzhou soon became one of the most outstanding original card players in the alliance."
"But Tang Muzhou has a master to guide him! His master is very famous..."
"His master really helped him a lot." Huanyue seemed not to want to mention someone's name and interrupted him directly, "The key to Tang Muzhou's becoming a god is still his talent. After his master left, the cards he made were still stronger than the last one, which is proof of that."
"Do you think this fat uncle has the same talent as God Tang?" Canyang became more and more uneasy as he listened to the president's description.
"Yes." Huanyue was very sure. "Since Fatty can make a card that determines instant death, it shows that his mental power is extremely high. Look at this card of his. While he concentrates his mental power on 'killing the tiger', he can also draw the illusion of Wu Song very well. This person is definitely not a simple person."
"..." Canyang never expected that he would encounter such a good seedling when he went to the black market today.
"Find him as soon as possible, find him privately, and find him before Fenghua Guild!" Huanyue whispered.
Canyang always thought that the name "Fat Uncle" was meant to be funny. He ignored the weirdness in his heart and said seriously: "Okay, I'll find someone privately and bring him to see you after I find him?"
"Take him directly to see Nie Shen."
"Ah? Nie Shen?"
"I will bring the Wu Song card back to the club and show it to Nie Shen. Nie Shen will definitely be very interested in the author. If possible, try to recruit this fat uncle to our Card Judgement Alliance - you must act quickly to avoid being snatched away by other guilds!"
"I understand!" Canyang nodded carefully and ran hurriedly to find Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang said frustratedly: "Uncle Fatty hasn't replied to my email yet."
"Did this person not see the email?" Canyang said depressedly, "Send him another one! If he doesn't reply, keep sending!"

Xie Mingzhe had no time to reply to personal space, so he didn't notice the email.
The dark cave was densely populated by monsters, and experience points were gained very quickly. By 8:30 in the evening, Xie Mingzhe had already reached level 35.
The maximum level of the character in the game is 70, which is the same as the maximum level of the card.
But level 35 is a critical threshold. Once a character reaches level 35, they are allowed to enter the 10-man team dungeon of the resource star and use the seven-star card. After reaching level 35, wealthy people can directly buy the seven-star card to increase the upgrade speed.
Senior Brother Qi and Sisi both had money, so they went directly to the commercial street to buy Seven Star Cards.
Xie Mingzhe had no money, so he said goodbye to his two friends and returned to his personal space to continue making cards.

Inside the Fenghua Club office.
Xue Linxiang paced back and forth. When she saw Hong Cang push the door open, she immediately frowned and asked, "Haven't you found that person yet?"
Hong Cang was very helpless: "I opened a stall in the black market to buy beautiful girl character cards, hoping to lure him out, but I waited for an entire afternoon and never saw him. I have already sent a large number of people to search the market. Once we find an original card with the 'Yueban' logo, we will definitely follow the clues to catch him."
Xue Linxiang's brows furrowed more and more tightly: "In other words, who is the author of Yueban? Haven't we found out yet?!"
Hong Cang nodded, his face a little pale. "Boss Zhang's booth is crowded with people every day. There are so many players that I can't even remember the name of the person selling the card. Now there is an even more difficult thing. In addition to me, all the big guilds in the game, such as Judgment and Liushuang City, have gathered in the black market. I'm not sure if they are here to join in the fun, or if someone has actually bought the Daiyu card and is also looking for the author in the black market."
Xue Linxiang: “…………”
If Daiyu Card is really bought by someone, Tang Muzhou will be in trouble next season.
——Daiyu buries flowers, and flowers are judged as instant death. How did this genius come up with such a skill?
Xiao Tang has a lot of flower cards in his hand, and all flower cards will be killed instantly when they see Lin Daiyu. The game will start soon, and even if he changes the deck now, it will be too late.
It was all Tang Muzhou's fault for making some random suggestion at the conference last season, asking the officials to add the "instant death judgment" skill to enrich the tactics during the game. Now the result is good, right? I was the first one to be targeted - this is called lifting a rock to hit others, but ended up hitting my own foot!
Xue Linxiang was struggling with her thoughts when she heard the doorbell ring. She turned around and said, "Come in."
It was Tang Muzhou who pushed the door open and walked in. This man tended to feel sleepy in the afternoon, but was particularly energetic and radiant at night.
"Why are you here?" Xue Linxiang took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
"I have some bad news for you." Tang Muzhou said "bad news" but his eyes were full of smiles, and he seemed to be in a good mood. "I just checked the database, and the number of cards produced by the card author named 'Yueban' has become 30."
"………………"Ten more? Xue Linxiang and Hong Cang wanted to tear the author apart in the game!
"Maybe it's ten Lin Daiyu cards, or he has developed new cards targeting my vines and trees." Tang Muzhou said with a smile.
"You're still laughing!" Xue Linxiang rolled her eyes fiercely. "You were the one who proposed adding instant death sentences to the database. Now it's all right, right? The entire flower series of cards has been targeted. Are you happy?"
"Not bad." Tang Muzhou didn't seem to mind at all, with a relaxed smile on his face. "Compared to this Daiyu card, I care more about the author of the card. I think he is a bit like me."
"Like you?" Xue Linxiang was confused.
"Sister Xue forgot how I made my debut?"
"..." Xue Linxiang finally understood what he meant, "Selling cards on the black market?"
"Yes. When I first learned how to make cards, I sold them on the black market because I didn't know the market. Newbies usually make this mistake, thinking that they can sell cards more easily if they bargain at the black market. But in fact, the black market is a place for 'low-level cards' and 'collection cards', and not many people understand the value of battle cards."
Tang Muzhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He took a sip from the water cup and continued, "He is really like me back then. He made powerful cards, but sold them on the black market because he didn't understand the market. Experienced card makers know that real high-end cards are either sold to professional card purchasing stores of major guilds in the commercial street, or taken to another place - the auction house."
"You should be thankful that he is a novice. If he knew the market price and put the Lin Daiyu card up for auction... ahem, I shouldn't have said that." Xue Linxiang immediately picked up the cup to drink water and rinse her mouth, fearing that she had been right.
"The character cartridge is an instant death sentence. The cards he made are indeed very creative." Tang Muzhou touched his chin thoughtfully, "Such a talented seedling should not be missed."
"What do you want to do?" Xue Linxiang stared at him warily.
"I plan to go into the game and meet this person in person." Tang Muzhou said.
"…………" Xue Linxiang held her forehead with a headache, "The competition is next week, are you crazy?"
"Tang, Tang Shen." Hong Candle reminded in a trembling voice, "If you show up in the game, it will definitely cause a sensation."
"I can use a secondary account to look for him." Tang Muzhou said seriously, "No one knows my secondary account."
"..." Can you stop being so willful? The game is about to start. Shouldn't you focus on studying your deck and opponents and preparing for the next season's big game? Xue Linxiang patiently advised: "He's a newcomer. Just leave it to us. There's no need for you to do it yourself, right?"
However, the next moment, Tang Muzhou stood up, with a smile in his eyes, showing the determination to win.
"Sister Xue, there's no need to persuade me. I must find this person."
"..." Xue Linxiang knew that she couldn't stop Tang Shen, so she had to cover her head with a headache: "You have to be careful and don't let it affect the competition!"
"Don't worry, Sister Xue." Tang Muzhou waved his hand, turned around and left the office.
***
At the same time, in the game.
After Xie Mingzhe finished making ten Wu Song cards in his personal space, he wanted to go to the black market to sell his cards, but Chen Xiao summoned him directly in a private voice chat: "Xiao Xie, it's nine o'clock, come to Jupiter to find me. The team dungeon has started, and I'm waiting for you!"
"But I don't have very good cards. Wouldn't it be a hindrance if I went?"
"I'll give you the full-level seven-star card, come here quickly!" Chen Xiao said readily.
"Okay, Brother Chen!" Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up and he immediately ran to Jupiter.
