Dark Night City Club.

Ye Zhu walked around the room, rubbing his nose. "How come a butterfly-killing card appeared? I have so many butterfly cards in my deck. Does this person have a grudge against me? This time he's targeting my entire deck!"

Pei Jingshan saw him spinning around like a spinning top, and couldn't help but step forward to stop him, saying gently: "Xiao Zhu, don't worry too much. I have already informed the guild about this author, and they are investigating. In addition, since Yueban made the Lin Daiyu card to target all flower cards, it means that he is not targeting you alone."

Ye Zhu looked confused: "Who is he coming for?"

Pei Jingshan said: "I guess Yueban's goal is not to target any professional player, but the cards he made may target all mainstream decks. So you don't have to worry. Currently, Tang Muzhou has suffered a loss. If you suffer a loss, there will be a group of people behind you who may also suffer a loss. Once everyone suffers a loss, it will be the same as if no one suffered a loss."

Ye Zhu: "…………I don't want to talk to you."

This man is indeed a philosophy graduate. He always uses dialectical concepts when speaking. Every time I talk to him, I feel that my IQ is being crushed. Ye Zhu simply ignored Pei Jingshan and turned back to his dormitory.

There is a transparent glass cabinet on one wall of his dormitory. It does not contain cards, but various butterfly specimens collected at high prices from all over the stars, including some precious and endangered butterfly species.

Ever since he caught a particularly beautiful butterfly as a child, he has developed an extremely strong interest in this creature. Over the years, he has been studying butterflies, spending high prices to buy butterfly specimens, filling up a room with them. It can be said that he has reached the level of "obsession."

When he was fifteen, he encountered the Star Card Storm and tried to make butterfly cards. Since his family collected a lot of butterfly specimens, he could refer to these specimens when drawing cards, and his inspiration was endless.

At that time, there were only two or three butterfly cards in the official card pool. Ye Zhu took a different approach and directly made a set of butterfly cards, and even created a very distinctive "Butterfly School".

In his deck, there are black-striped butterflies for control, transparent jade butterflies for tracking, red-banded sleeve butterflies for ranged group attacks, green butterflies with strong group healing abilities, as well as various blue morpho butterflies, phoenix tail butterflies, white butterflies, spotted butterflies, dead leaf butterflies...

Ye Zhu collected almost all the butterfly species he knew.

The strongest defense of the alliance's current deck is Zheng Feng's earth card, and the weakest is Ye Zhu's butterfly card.

Small creatures have low defense, so most players in the alliance will not choose to add such small creature cards to the card pool. Currently, only the "King of Dragons" Pei Jingshan has added a large number of dragonflies to his deck. He relies on dragonflies to stack negative states to attack with poison, and many of his dragonflies have the ability to split and regenerate, so defense is not important.

Compared to the scary insects, the light butterflies belong to the insect family and have no regeneration ability. So when Ye Zhu first started making butterfly cards, everyone was not optimistic about it and thought he would not last long. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhu was gifted and made a lot of butterfly control cards. He used strong control such as illusion and blindness to create time difference, and made a name for himself in the eighth season and won the Best Newcomer Award.

Tang Muzhou's apprentice Shen An is the winner of the Rookie Award in the ninth season. Ye Zhu and Shen An are also the most talented young players in the league. The former is seventeen years old and the latter is less than sixteen years old.

Most of the veteran players in the league are very impressed with Xiaozhu's talent. In particular, the duel between Xiaozhu and Shanlan is one of the most classic duels in the league in recent years. Shanlan is very good at aerial attacks, with a deck of cranes, larks, phoenixes, and white eagles, fighting against Yezhu's overwhelming butterflies. That aerial battle was also called "the most beautiful aerial battle in history."

It was also that competition that made Ye Zhu and Shan Lan, who was a few years older than him, become good friends.

After Ye Zhu's eighth and ninth seasons in the league, his playing style has gradually matured. Ye Zhu is very confident in himself and wants to win a medal in the tenth season's individual competition. Even if he can't win the championship, a silver or bronze medal can also consolidate his position in the league.

But now, the appearance of Xue Baochai, this death card, was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, making him extremely uneasy.

——Butterflies die!

——That Fatty must have some deep hatred against him, so he directly targeted his entire deck!

Frustrated, Ye Zhu turned on his smart tablet computer, found Shan Lan among his friends, and connected to a holographic video call: "Brother Lan, a butterfly-type instant death card appeared in Yueban's card store, and it has a full sensitive attribute. Did you know about this? I'm so angry!"

Seeing the anxious look on the boy's face, Shan Lan smiled and said softly, "You have so many butterfly cards. You can only bring one instant death card to the game. At most, one of your cards can be killed in one second. What are you worried about?"

Ye Zhu was startled, scratching his head and said, "I was so angry that I almost forgot about it!"

Ye Zhu calmed down a little after coming to his senses. He had more than 30 butterfly cards in his deck, so what would it matter if he destroyed one of them? However, if he faced an expert who could seize the opportunity to kill his black-striped butterfly or tracking jade butterfly, his rhythm would be completely messed up.

Ye Zhu was still worried and asked, "Brother Lan, do you know the origin of Yue Ban, who makes instant death cards?"

Shan Lan said, "His name is Fatty Uncle. He will probably make a lot of instant-death cards in the near future, and you are not the only one being targeted. So don't worry too much. The large-scale circulation of instant-death cards will have to wait until at least the next season. You still have plenty of time to consider how to deal with the instant-death cards."

Ye Zhu nodded: "I understand, thank you Brother Lan!"

After figuring this out, Ye Zhu turned off the video chat and picked up his helmet. He decided to open a small account and go to the Yueban Card Store in person to take a look. Didn't they say there would be new cards tomorrow? He wanted to see who would be the next unlucky person to be targeted!

**

At the same time, the club was judged.

Shan Lan just hung up the video call when she saw Nie Yuandao coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Nie Yuandao's skin was a very manly bronze color, and he was wearing a bathrobe with the belt loosely tied, and his sexy eight-pack abs could be vaguely seen.

Seeing the man walking towards her, Shan Lan immediately looked away with a red face and moved to the side: "Master."

"Yeah." Nie Yuandao responded quietly, and sat down next to his apprentice calmly, and asked, "Who are you chatting with?"

Shan Lan took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, and tried to ignore the heat coming from the person next to him. He said, "Xiao Zhu complained to me that a butterfly-type instant death card appeared in Yueban's card store. How could he make such an agile instant death card in such a short time? I wonder if Uncle Pang has some guidance from an expert?"

"That's possible." Nie Yuandao's voice was low and steady. "He has already figured out the data distribution of the original cards. President Huanyue snatched a card of Xue Baochai today and showed it to me just now. It's really well made. It's a huge improvement over the original Wu Song fighting the tiger."

"Wu Song fights the tiger, Daiyu buries the flowers, Baochai catches the butterfly... How many instant death cards does he want to make?" Shan Lan held his forehead with a headache. "If we had known earlier, we should have offered higher conditions when we recruited him."

"It's useless. I guess it was our purchase of the copyright for Wu Song that made him realize the importance of copyright." Nie Yuandao said confidently, "He will only consider signing with our club if he owns the copyright for the cards himself."

"But isn't the risk too great?" Shan Lan also felt that the top management of Judgment Club would not agree to a condition like "copyright freedom". "Let him own all the card copyrights, and he can change jobs with his cards at any time. At the same time, he can also master the research secrets of Judgment Club and know all the players' decks. Which club would dare to sign such a designer?"

"So, the more talented a designer is, the less likely the clubs are to release the copyright to their cards. Because once such a person jumps ship, the consequences could be a disaster that the club can hardly bear." Nie Yuandao paused and lowered his voice, "Didn't Lin Shen quarrel with the club over copyright issues in the beginning? He even took the case to court and the lawsuit lasted for half a year, affecting the entire league, and all clubs collectively revised their contracts."

Nie Yuandao said this and stood up to get some water. Shan Lan immediately ran to pour a glass of water for his master. His eyes were full of admiration and gratitude when he looked at his master. "I know that after the incident with Lin Shen, the contracts of the major clubs have become much stricter, and the copyright of the cards made by the players has also been transferred to the club. My master supported me at the shareholders' meeting and signed a five-year contract with the referee. Only then did he preserve my card copyright and allow me to create freely. I will always remember how good my master has been to me..."

Nie Yuandao frowned and interrupted him: "You don't have to express your gratitude every day. I am your master, and it is my duty to take care of you."

"..." Shan Lan's face turned slightly red, her eyes avoided, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Nie Yuandao looked at his apprentice in confusion: "Why are you blushing?"

Shan Lan coughed and got back to the topic: "Well, Master, do you mean that Uncle Fatty won't sign with any club because of copyright issues?"

Nie Yuandao said seriously: "It's a good thing for us that he doesn't sign with a club. At least, he won't join hands with Tang Muzhou, Ling Jingtang, Fang Yu and other great players to deal with us. Next, other clubs will notice his talent and will definitely try to recruit him, but as long as he is firm on the copyright issue, no club will dare to take the huge risk to sign him."

"Then shall we stop pulling him back?" Shan Lan was still unwilling.

"Let's wait and see." Nie Yuandao stood up and turned to walk towards the training room. "Don't worry too much. Your deck is the most difficult to target with birds. I believe that even if Yueban has the guidance of an expert, it is impossible for him to make a death card against you so quickly."

“…………”Are you serious about saying this?

Yesterday, Ye Zhu was the happiest person in the group, but today he was completely targeted by a butterfly-type instant death card. Master's words made Shan Lan's spine shiver. He felt that after Master said that, Uncle Fatty might really make an instant death card targeting him.

Shan Lan became more and more uneasy. No, tomorrow at noon, he also wanted to go to the game to see Uncle Fatty's new card!

***

In the game, Xie Mingzhe happily counted the store's revenue.

This "limited marketing" model is just a strategy to gain popularity in the early stage of entering the market. Making only a small number of cards and selling them slowly can save one's mental energy and time to think about how to make new cards; on the other hand, it can also ensure a stable flow of customers to the store. People who can't buy will be anxious and continue to wait tomorrow. When they wait, they find that he has released new cards... What should they do? They can only wait the day after tomorrow.

Within a week, all the competitive players and major guilds knew the name of "Yueban Card Store". When he released new cards in the future, he would naturally have no worries about lack of popularity - people who were interested in instant-death cards would definitely use the power of the masses to actively help him advertise.

Today's store turnover actually reached 2,000,000 gold coins.

When he first sold the copyright of Wu Song to Nie Shen, he was shocked to see so much money. But now, looking at so many zeros, he no longer felt the shock he had when he first saw the huge sum of money. Instead, he felt it was natural - because his card was worth this price.

The new store opened, and 10 Daiyu and 10 Baochai were sold for a total of 2 million gold coins. This was just the beginning.

He still has ideas for two cards in his mind. If he takes some time tonight to think about them and work on them seriously, he can make a fortune tomorrow.
