The olive branch is offered to you, should you accept it or not?
Xie Mingzhe was both excited and surprised. Nie Shen invited him to join the refereeing, which meant that he was indeed very talented in card making. Otherwise, he would not have attracted two professional players, Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan, to offer him 300,000 yuan to buy the copyright of his Wu Song card.
But Xie Mingzhe is not an innocent 18-year-old boy after all - if someone gives him a piece of meat or bone, he will happily bite it.
He has two memories, and the experiences of these two lives enable him to remain calm quickly when encountering major events and never make impulsive decisions.
Lan Shen's words just now made him feel like a complete idiot! He had just entered the game and didn't understand the market, so he actually went to the black market to sell cards at a low price... Now, someone who really knows the business has appeared, and Nie Shen offered a high price of 300,000 copyright fees for the Wu Song card, and this was just for a white tiger.
What about Daiyu? She is targeting the entire flower department!
Even though Nie Shen said that card designers can be paid 20,000 yuan a month, and that they can get high commissions for making good cards, this made the poor boy Xie Mingzhe very tempted. But Xie Mingzhe finally calmed down and said with a smile: "The copyright transfer of Wu Song card is fine, but I have to think about it again about being a designer for the Judgment Club."
Vice President Canyang frowned and said unhappily, "Uncle Fat, our God Nie personally invited you because he saw your talent. Our Judgment Club is one of the best clubs in the Star Card Alliance. Many designers have a hard time getting in."
Xie Mingzhe smiled good-naturedly: "Yeah, I know the ruling is very powerful. However, I can't agree to such an important matter rashly. I have to go back and think about it carefully, and then discuss it with my family." He made up an excuse to buy himself some time.
Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan looked at each other.
Shan Lan said in a gentle tone: "Uncle Fat, we sincerely invite you to join the Arbitration. The copyright price we offer you is much higher than the market price. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate. Our club has a good environment, high treatment, and the food in the cafeteria is also very delicious. Moreover, the club has an apartment and will allocate an apartment to you. After coming to the Arbitration, you only need to concentrate on studying the cards, and don't worry about anything else."
Lan Shen's advertisement was very attractive. Xie Mingzhe forced himself to calm down and said, "Thank you, Lan Shen. I will consider it carefully and give you an answer as soon as possible."
Canyang rolled his eyes at the fat uncle with a big smile on his face in the game, thinking that he was particularly unmannered.
Guild President Huanyue was much calmer. He took a step back and said, "Uncle Fat, let's add each other as friends first. You will go with Canyang to complete the card transfer process later. Our guild territory is also open to you. When you have made up your mind, you can come to us as soon as possible, or send a private message to Canyang and me as friends."
"Okay." Xie Mingzhe accepted the friend request from the president and vice president, and said to Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan, "Goodbye, two great gods."
Canyang led the way, and Xie Mingzhe followed the vice president and left the adjudication office.
Only after the two of them walked away did Huanyue come over and say, "Ni Shen, this fat uncle has raised Wu Songka's chance of instant death to 30% in such a short time. It seems his potential is far more than that."
Nie Yuandao nodded and whispered, "He is indeed a good candidate. Recruit him as soon as possible. I will log off now. Please notify us when there is any news."
Shan Lan said: "I am leaving too. Goodbye, President."
After watching the two leave, Huanyue immediately summoned several managers of the guild and asked them to continue searching the black market for other cards made by "Yueban". She also sent a friend message to Fatty in an earnest tone, listing the various advantages of the Arbitration Club in great detail, which was even more thoughtful than the official advertisement.
***
Xie Mingzhe followed Canyang to the Aquarius service center.
The service center building is several dozen stories high and can help players solve various problems. The card copyright department is on the 16th floor. Canyang took him to the copyright department. Xie Mingzhe connected to the database to verify his identity as the author, and then transferred the production copyright of [Wusong Card] to the Arbitration Guild.
After the copyright transfer, he can no longer make Wu Song cards - but it doesn't matter, Wu Song only targets tigers and has a narrow range of skills. He can still make Daiyu, who targets a wider range of flowers.
With 3 million game coins in his pocket, Xie Mingzhe happily ran to the Star Card Bank next door.
At the Star Card Bank counter, Xie Mingzhe politely asked the smart teller: "Hello, how do I convert game coins and real crystal coins?"
The smart teller replied: "Today's reference gold price is 10:1. You can set the price of the game coins you want to sell, put them in the Star Card Bank gold coin purchase window, and bind your bank card information. If a player buys your game coins, your bank account will automatically receive the transfer."
Is it the currency trading platform built into the game?
Xie Mingzhe quickly input the information - he planned to divide the 3 million into 10 parts and list them in the trading window, which should make them easier to sell.
When walking out of Star Card Bank, Xie Mingzhe was in a good mood and felt that the sky outside was bluer than before.
At this time, a system prompt rang in my ear: "Received a voice message from a friend, from Huanyue."
Xie Mingzhe answered the call, and President Huanyue talked about a lot of advantages of the Arbitration Club, obviously trying to get him to join the Arbitration. He didn't want to make a hasty decision, so he politely replied, "Thank you, President, I will think about it carefully."
Immediately afterwards, the system issued another voice prompt: "Dear player, you have been online for more than five hours. Holographic games consume people's mental energy. Being online for a long time is not good for your health. Please arrange your game time reasonably and log off as soon as possible to rest."
Holographic games connect people's five senses, which is indeed quite brain-burning. He logged in at 6:30 after dinner, and it was almost 12 o'clock now. Xie Mingzhe noticed that his headache was getting worse, so he simply logged off.
After logging off, Xie Mingzhe rubbed his swollen temples. At this moment, a text message popped up on his phone: "Dear user, I received a transfer of 30,000 crystal coins from Star Card Bank. The account balance is 30,200 crystal coins." "Dear user, I received a transfer of 30,000 crystal coins from Star Card Bank..." "Dear user..."
Ten consecutive bank text messages flooded the screen!
The final balance became 300,200 crystal coins.
Xie Mingzhe looked at the balance in his bank card and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The pauper who originally had only 200 in his bank card has now become a wealthy man with 300,200!
This was the first money he earned after his rebirth. He never expected that he could earn so much money from the copyright fee of an original card alone. To be honest, he had never seen so much savings in his card since he was a child - three hundred thousand!
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and ran to the bathroom to wash his face. He felt refreshed. Pang Yu had just logged off and washed his face. Since he was going to live with Pang Yu, Xie Mingzhe followed Pang Yu to the dormitory upstairs.
Pang Yu was a very outgoing person. He started chatting with Xie Mingzhe after entering the house: "Xie, I see you are quite young, probably under 20 years old?"
"Well, I just turned 18 this year. I do some odd jobs during the holidays to earn some living expenses."
"Not bad, not bad, you are ambitious." Pang Yu gave him a thumbs up.
"By the way, Brother Yu, do you know the Referee Club? What is this club like?" Xie Mingzhe began to inquire about the news.
"The Judgement Club? They're really powerful, one of the six giants of the Star Card Alliance." Pang Yu introduced enthusiastically, "The Judgement Club mainly focuses on beast decks, and the most famous player is Nie Yuandao. He has been in the industry for nearly ten years and is currently the oldest player in the alliance. He is also well respected by other players... So, why are you asking about the Judgement Club?"
"I saw Nie Yuandao's introduction when I was looking up information, and I was a little curious." Choosing a job is a big deal, and you must do some research before making a decision. Xie Mingzhe continued to ask Pang Yu, "Brother Yu, do you know a card designer? What is the prospect of this job?"
"The chief card designer of a big club earns millions a year, and ordinary designers earn hundreds of thousands. It is of course a dream job for ordinary people." Pang Yu said with envy, "However, once you become a contracted designer of a club, the copyright of the cards you make does not belong to you, but to the club. Therefore, most original designers with high mental strength will design their own cards and play in competitions themselves. Only those who do not meet the mental strength requirements or whose age does not allow them to play intense competitions will become professional designers."
"!!!!" Xie Mingzhe was shocked when he heard this.
Fortunately, he was careful and did not accept the invitation of the judge rashly because of the temptation of immediate benefits.
Once you become a card designer for the Judgement Club, the copyright of all the cards you design will be in the hands of the Judgement Club. Isn't that like being tied to a tree? It's better to be free and design more good cards to sell!
Although Xie Mingzhe has only sold one card so far, everything is difficult at the beginning, and once you have the first one, you will naturally get the second one.
After Nie Shen bought the copyright of Wu Song card at a high price, Xie Mingzhe had a feeling in his heart - do people in this world not know Wu Song? He thought the card design was quite ordinary, isn't it just the "Wu Song fights the tiger" plot in Water Margin? Why did Lan Shen look so appreciative of him?
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but ask Pang Yu: "Brother Yu, have you ever read "Water Margin"?"
Pang Yu was stunned: "Water tiger? A tiger that can swim in water?"
"..." Xie Mingzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To make sure, he continued to ask, "Do you know Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan?"
Pang Yu looked confused: "Who are you talking about?"
Xie Mingzhe asked, "Have you heard of Sun Wukong and Jia Baoyu?"
Pang Yu laughed and said, "I don't know them. Are these all your classmates? Their names are quite interesting."
“………………”Xie Mingzhe’s heart began to beat violently.
I am such an idiot!
He should have realized this when he finished painting "Daiyu Burying Flowers" and went to the black market to sell the card - no one knew Lin Daiyu, they just said the card was beautiful and the painting style was beautiful, the card collectors were also studying the properties of the cards and didn't care at all about the exquisite painting of Daiyu Burying Flowers.
At that time, he thought that there were too many cards in the Star Card World and the cards he drew were too ordinary, so they were not popular. Now it seems that it is not that his cards are not good enough, but that people do not recognize the characters he draws at all and think that it is just a crying girl.
Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan obviously didn't know Wu Song either, so they thought his design was particularly good and came to find him in person.
It seems that the cultural background of this world is completely different from that of China on Earth where he lives in the 21st century. Perhaps it is because of something that mankind has experienced that has destroyed those brilliant civilizations of the past.
No wonder, the game's galaxy navigation map includes a lot of planets such as Venus, Jupiter, Mars, etc. - but the only thing missing is the Earth.
At that time, he was still confused. If the background of the Star Card Game included the "solar system" setting, then the place where humans live should be the Earth. Why did they go to Gemini?
It was the year 3001, and who knows how many centuries had passed since 2018, the year before his rebirth.
Have those splendid cultures and 5,000 years of Chinese history and civilization actually disappeared in this world?
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart.
He realized that he had made a huge mistake - he underestimated his card-making potential. He thought he was just a small player with no talent and made ordinary cards. He made Daiyu and Wu Song and sold them on the black market at low prices. It was really stupid.
But now he knew that he actually possessed an extremely valuable fortune—a treasure trove of knowledge that was beyond the imagination of others, as vast and rich as the vast universe and starry sky!
Wu Song sold the copyright for 300,000 yuan, and there are 108 heroes in Water Margin.
Daiyu hasn't been sold yet, but Daiyu, who has a wider range of skills, will definitely not be priced lower than Wu Song, and she also has the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling from The Red Mansion!
Not to mention that there are so many characters in his favorite "Three Kingdoms" that can be made into cards with his imagination!
Xie Mingzhe clenched his fists, his whole body filled with energy.
He loves to read novels, but unfortunately he can't write novels and can't use novels to recreate those stories.
However, he can draw those wonderful stories into his cards!
The author has something to say: -
The preparations are over here, and the golden finger is fully awakened.
Pipizhe realized his golden finger and will not make stupid mistakes again in the future :)
The role of Nie and Lan is to make the protagonist fully awake through the copyright purchase incident, and Tang Muzhou will have an even greater role to play in the future.
