Chapter 26: The Butterfly



At nine o'clock in the evening, the Nirvana Studio's substitute players gathered at the entrance of the dungeon at the call of Brother Chen.

Xie Mingzhe is now very proficient in playing various dungeons. He knows when to use skills even with his eyes closed, so he is constantly thinking about how to use new cards while playing dungeons.

If the card of Treasure Butterfly can be successfully realized, then he has several inspirations that can also be made into instant death cards.

While Xie Mingzhe was completing a dungeon, he was chatting privately with Pang Yu: "Brother Yu, are there many butterfly cards in this game?"

"Of course there are a lot! Butterfly cards are an important branch of insect cards and are very popular among girls! But the one who pioneered the Butterfly genre is actually a male player, Ye Zhu, a player from the Dark Night City Club of the Professional League. He particularly likes Butterfly cards. He has a lot of butterfly cards of various colors and skills. When playing in the game, the butterflies flying all over the sky are so beautiful. Ye Zhu is a player with a very special style. He loves butterflies very much. It is said that he has many butterfly specimens at home." Pang Yu introduced enthusiastically.

"Oh oh." Xie Mingzhe agreed, but he was thinking: I'm sorry, Master Ye Zhu, I might have to make a "butterfly death" card. Your butterfly will probably be killed instantly by my treasure hairpin, don't blame me!

**

In the Dark Night City Club, Ye Zhu kept sneezing.

Pei Jingshan looked at him helplessly: "Are you catching a cold again?"

"No, maybe it's allergic rhinitis?" Ye Zhu rubbed his red nose vigorously. "By the way, Tang Muzhou won't participate in this year's individual competition, right? He just won the championship last season, so he might be embarrassed to participate. He should send his apprentice to compete. We can just take this opportunity to grab a trophy!"

Pei Jingshan asked: "Do you want to sign up?"

Ye Zhu was full of confidence: "Of course! Shen An, that little brat, is definitely no match for me... A-choo! A-choo! What's wrong? Is someone cursing me?"

Pei Jingshan suppressed his laughter and said, "You just like to brag. Don't be so boastful!"

**

After completing a round of dungeons, at 11 o'clock in the evening, Brother Chen asked everyone to disperse on time.

Xie Mingzhe returned to his personal space and sent an email to Hong Cang: "President, I'm back. Let's arrange a place to discuss the Daiyu Card."

Hearing the "ding dong" sound in his ear, Hong Cang immediately checked his email and replied: "Uncle Fat, please come directly to our guild territory. I have given you access rights. You can find it on the galaxy navigation map."

When Xie Mingzhe arrived at the galaxy navigation map, he saw that there was indeed a new small planet on the galaxy map. The highlighted small planet was labeled "Fenghua Guild Territory". It was about the same size as the "Judgment Guild Territory" next to it, but the color was slightly different.

Click to teleport, and the fat uncle in the game instantly arrives at the territory star of Fenghua Guild.

Unlike the fiery red architectural style of the Arbitration Guild, the Fenghua Guild's territory in the game is full of flowers, plants, and green trees. Even the walls of the guild building are covered with green vines. From a distance, it looks green and lush, as if you have come to the depths of the forest.

Hong Cang opened the VIP passage for him, so after Xie Mingzhe entered the territory, he went straight along the VIP corridor to the front of the guild building.

He saw a woman wearing a red dress and black high heels. Her ID was Hong Candle. She was a little short, but her voice was crisp and clear: "Uncle Fat is here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go to the office to talk."

"Okay." Xie Mingzhe followed her and took the elevator to the top floor office.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw a badge hanging on the wall in the middle of the office. It was a round badge with two words "Fenghua" written on it in an artistic font. Light green vines were wrapped around the font, and there were some small flowers in the middle of the badge. Compared to the domineering sword of the Judgment Guild piercing through the flame font, the Fenghua Guild's badge looked very fresh and literary.

Xie Mingzhe walked into the office and saw a man and a woman standing in the room.

The woman was very tall, wearing a light grey dress, with her hair tied up in a neat bun, looking like a capable woman. The man was leaning against the desk, with an upright figure, estimated to be over 1.85 meters tall, but his face was covered by a mask, so his features could not be seen clearly.

Hong Cang took the initiative to introduce: "This is our sister Xue, the player agent of Fenghua Club. This is the professional poker player of Fenghua Club, Tang Muzhou."

Xie Mingzhe greeted them politely: "Hello, Sister Xue, hello, Mr. Tang."

Tang Muzhou walked up to Xie Mingzhe and asked with a smile: "Sister Xue wants to buy the copyright of your Daiyu Card. Are you willing to sell it?"

Maybe it’s because professional players don’t like to reveal their true faces. Tang Muzhou uses a system-generated face on his secondary account, wears a mask on his primary account, and uses system voices.

Xie Mingzhe scratched his head and said, "God Tang, you should know that I will not sell the copyright of the cards."

Tang Muzhou shrugged and turned to look at Xue Linxiang: "I'll tell you what I'm saying."

Xue Linxiang was still unwilling to accept it: "One million crystal coins, I mean one million real crystal coins, which is 10 million game coins, you won't sell it?"

Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and was not moved by the huge sum of money in front of him. He said firmly: "Sister Xue, if you just want to buy cards, I can make as many as you want. But I'm sorry, I will no longer sell the copyright of my cards."

Tang Muzhou had sharp ears. Hearing the word "sell again" in his words, he immediately asked, "Have you sold a copyright before? To Lao Nie?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded frankly: "Yes, that was the first one and also the last one. I didn't know much about the market at that time, and I was very short of money. I thought the price offered by Nie Shen was appropriate, so I sold the copyright. I will not sell it again in the future." With the copyright in his hands, he can draw a hundred or a thousand Daiyu cards and modify them at any time - as long as the cards are well made, it is obviously wiser to keep the copyright.

Xue Linxiang was almost laughing out of anger: "If you don't sell the copyright, what's the point of me buying a hundred Daiyu cards from you! You can still sell them to others."

"Yes. So I came here this time just to make it clear to you in person." Xie Mingzhe said seriously, "I have no intention of targeting Tang Shen, and I know that Tang Shen is not afraid of this Daiyu card. After all, with Tang Shen's awareness, many players may not even be able to use instant death skills in front of you."

"Yeah." Tang Muzhou chuckled, "I told you that you wouldn't sell the copyright, but Sister Xue insisted on confirming it in person."

The large-scale circulation of Daiyu Cards would be very disadvantageous to Tang Muzhou, but Tang Muzhou was obviously confident in dealing with the instant death card. He said he was not afraid, so why should she, as a broker, worry about it? Xue Linxiang gritted her teeth and said, "Since Xiao Tang said so, let's forget about the copyright issue for now."

Xie Mingzhe was delighted: "Thank you for your understanding, Sister Xue. I promise that I will not make other cards targeting plants in the future." After all, he did not want to completely offend Fenghua Club, and Tang Shen was very good to him. It would be unreasonable for him to target plants again.

Tang Muzhou suggested: "You can make more other instant death cards, such as those targeting various insects, fish, wild elephants, birds, monsters, ghosts, spells, and weapons. You can use your imagination and try to make an instant death judgment."

Xue Linxiang: “…”

Tang Muzhou, do you want everyone to suffer with you? !

Xue Linxiang didn't understand until now what evil plan Tang Muzhou was planning. He wanted to use Uncle Fatty's hand to add a large number of instant-death cards to the deck and change the rhythm and tactical thinking of the entire game.

Xie Mingzhe naturally understood what Tang Muzhou meant when he heard this. He thought this great god was quite interesting. He actually took the initiative to point out so many tricks for him, asking him to make instant death cards to trick these players. Xie Mingzhe suppressed his laughter and said, "God Tang is indeed very thoughtful. I have written down all the card types you mentioned. I will do my best."

Tang Muzhou smiled and held out his hand: "I look forward to you making more good cards. When you have new works, remember to leave one for me and I will buy it from you."

Xie Mingzhe stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Don't worry, I will inform Tang Shen as soon as I finish it. Thank you for your guidance."

Tang Muzhou said: "Then I won't be polite. From now on I will be your VIP customer and I will make an appointment in advance to purchase your instant death card."

Xie Mingzhe nodded readily: "No problem!"

Xue Linxiang: “…”

Why does it make people feel cold to hear the way they talk to each other, as if they are in cahoots with each other and are working together to betray the entire alliance?

Only after Uncle Fatty left did Xue Linxiang ask with mixed feelings, "What on earth did you teach him through your account? It seemed like he had finally gotten enlightened."

Tang Muzhou shrugged. "Nothing. I just went to the arena to give him a few demonstrations. I told him that the dead card is a tactical card and must be played quickly. I also told him to pay more attention to the attributes of the card and increase the initial agility to 30."

"..." Xue Linxiang couldn't help but complain: "If you continue to instruct him, the whole alliance will be in trouble!"

Tang Muzhou raised the corners of his lips: "I am looking forward to that day."

Red Candle: “…”

It is better for the entire alliance to be embarrassed together than to be embarrassed alone.

Tang Shen's awareness...what else can she say? She can only give Tang Shen a thumbs up.

**

After Xie Mingzhe returned, he organized his thoughts and wrote down all the types of cards that Tang Muzhou mentioned.

Then he connected his mental power to the nebula paper and began to make the Xue Bao hairpin.

Remember Baoyu said that men are made of mud and women are made of water, so just set the attribute to water.

Compared to Lin Daiyu's unique temperament of elegance and pride, Xue Baochai has the dignity of a lady from a noble family, and is more cheerful and open-minded. The girl he painted has a typical oval face, looking pitiful. Bao's face is slightly rounder, with a full forehead and bright eyes...

Xie Mingzhe quickly sketched out the image of Xue Baochai in his mind and painted it on nebula paper.

Due to his experience in drawing Lin Daiyu and Wu Song, he painted Xue Baochai very quickly. The front of the card only has important elements such as the figure, round fan, and butterfly, without any unnecessary decorations.

However, the card data produced is still not ideal.

After communicating with Tang Muzhou, Xie Mingzhe knew that the key to this type of tactical card is still to look at the skill judgment probability and agility attribute. The 30% instant death rate of Xue Baochai he made is enough, but the agility is only 15 points, and it is only 85 when it is upgraded to the maximum level.

How can we improve it?

Xie Mingzhe stroked his chin and thought carefully. Suddenly, he remembered what Senior Brother Qi said when they were newbies: "The higher the level of the nebula paper, the better the card data will be, but the key is still talent..."

Oh, and Nebula Paper!

In order to save money, he always used the cheapest first-grade nebula paper, which cost 7 gold coins per sheet.

Now that he had a reserve of funds, he naturally had no shortage of money for the raw materials. So Xie Mingzhe was transported to the Aquarius Star Region and came to the familiar boss in the black market. The boss had been selling him nebula paper recently, and when he saw him, he said, "Uncle Fatty, do you want another 10 sheets of first-grade nebula paper?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "Give me 100 sheets of the highest quality Nebula paper."

"!!!" 100 sheets of the highest quality paper? Did I hear that wrongly?

Seeing the boss in a daze, Xie Mingzhe continued, "Boss, the market price of the highest-grade Nebula Paper is 500 gold coins per sheet. I'm an old customer. Please give me a preferential price. I will buy 100 sheets directly for 40,000 gold coins. How about long-term cooperation in the future?"

The boss, who had a big business, came to his senses and nodded immediately: "Okay, okay!" He quickly took out a stack of level 5 nebula paper and said as he counted them: "Uncle Fatty, have you made a fortune? Why are you suddenly buying the highest-grade paper?"

"I didn't make much money." Xie Mingzhe said modestly: "I just wanted to try whether the data of the card made of high-quality paper would be better."

After purchasing 100 sheets of the highest-grade Nebula paper, Xie Mingzhe returned to his personal space and began to redraw Xue Baochai.

High-quality paper has a much better gloss than low-quality paper, requires less mental effort to draw on, and is smoother.

The statistics did improve, with agility increasing from 15 to 20, but it still did not reach the limit of 30.

Xie Mingzhe calmed down and thought carefully.

Previously, Daiyu Card and Wu Song Card were just blind cats catching dead mice, and they just happened to run into the instant death judgment of the system database.

Now, he took the initiative to try to make an "instant death skill". He had to take into account the image of the card character, the description of the skill, and the distribution of data at the same time. This was equivalent to "three things at once", and the difficulty increased significantly.

According to the rules of the Star Card World Database, different types of cards have a range for each basic statistic such as life, defense, attack, agility, etc. The official database will control this range and randomly generate a number within the range.

Since it is a fast-acting tactical card, it is better to make extreme data - don't consider life, defense, and attack at all, just stack agility to the maximum.

Xie Mingzhe closed his eyes and adjusted for a moment, then reconnected to the card-making system and concentrated his mental energy to the extreme.

At this moment, Xie Mingzhe's mind was free of distractions. In his spiritual world, there was only a card of Xue Baochai that had been magnified countless times. Every detail of the character was clearly presented, even the hair was clearly visible.

The card's skill description and data distribution also floated before his eyes like subtitles.

He used his mental power to try to redistribute the card data, and then he saw the numbers constantly changing according to his mental control, just like the numbers that kept jumping during a lottery, without any specific rules. Life, defense, attack, agility, critical hit rate... all the attributes were changing at the same time. He ignored the others and focused on agility. When the agility attribute changed to 30, he immediately stopped to think -

"Congratulations, the card is ready! Please confirm the changes and review again."

It passed the review quickly, and the familiar "Yueban" author logo was printed on the lower right corner of the card.

Xie Mingzhe picked up the card and examined it carefully.

Xue Baochai (Water System)

Card Level: Level 1

Evolution Star Level:★

Available times: 1/1 times

Basic Attributes: HP 200, Attack 0, Defense 100, Agility 30, Critical Hit Rate 0%

Additional Skill: Jewel Fan to Shoot Butterflies (Waves a fan to hit butterflies, causing heavy damage to butterfly cards, with a 30% chance of triggering an instant death effect)

——Success!

30 agility, 30% chance of instant death, the "truly qualified instant death card" that Tang Shen mentioned is finally made!

Xie Mingzhe picked up the card with excitement. The girl on the card was lively and vivid, holding a round fan and swatting butterflies. In front of her were two fluttering jade butterflies. The picture was full of dynamism, fully showing the girl's open-minded and cheerful personality.

He took out another piece of nebula paper and wanted to modify the Daiyu card as well.

He concentrated his mental strength once again, infinitely magnified Daiyu's card in his mind, redistributed the data, and increased Daiyu's agility attribute to 30. Although the defense and life had decreased slightly, there was not much difference between 100 life and 80 life in the face of tens of thousands of attacks.

Under the premise that two people are evenly matched, it is the most basic to stack the agility of the instant death card to 100. Otherwise, if the card with 99 agility is 0.1 second slower than the opponent in releasing skills, the skills of the instant death card cannot be released at all, and it becomes a completely useless card.

Even if it is a 100-sensitivity instant death card, as long as the opponent is aware enough and predicts well, he can use various means to avoid the triggering of the instant death skill. Similarly, as long as the awareness is strong enough, you can also block the opponent's skill gap and use the instant death card to kill the opponent's trump card unexpectedly.

In an expert's deck, a 100-agility instant death card will definitely have a place.

The seven-star full-level Black Karin Daiyu, flower-type instant death, 100 high agility.

The seven-star full-level black card Xue Baochai, which can kill butterflies instantly, also has a high agility of 100.

The two cards, Daiyu and Baochai, will definitely make him famous in the card-making industry.

Xie Mingzhe held two cards in his hand and smiled happily.

Under Tang Shen's guidance, he had successfully made a qualified instant death card. Next, he had to participate in tomorrow's auction and buy a store in a good location, which he would name "Yueban Card Store".

Become a small business owner selling cards first and accumulate enough funds.

Xie Mingzhe played a few rounds of Arena with Tang Shen today and found it very interesting. The card competition mode of this game is different from any game he has played before. In the future, if he can make a complete set of character cards, he will also try it out in the competition!
