Xie Mingzhe put the Eight Immortals deck together on the card operation table and continued to work on the linkage skills. Since the number of linkage cards was strictly limited, he could not directly make eight-card linkage, so he divided it into two batches according to the method of the Ten Kings of Hell.
Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, He Xiangu and Han Zhongli, who have strong attack power, work together to create a joint skill called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". Lu Dongbin's sword rain, Han Xiangzi's flute sound, He Xiangu's flower petals and Han Zhongli's gold ingots falling from the sky are all range spell attack skills. When the four cards exist at the same time, the joint skill can enhance the critical damage effect of the range skill. If the four cards launch a group attack at the same time and cover the same area, all enemy cards in the range can be destroyed instantly.
The remaining Li Tieguai, Zhang Guolao, Cao Guojiu and Lan Caihe are all auxiliary cards. When these four cards were used for linked skills, Xie Mingzhe also used a unified setting. The name of the linked skill is "Each shows its magical power", and the effect is to reduce the skill cooldown time by 20%.
The combination of the eight cards together represents the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Each Showing Their Magical Powers". Xie Mingzhe will reflect this story in the card encyclopedia, describing in detail the legend of the eight immortals crossing the sea with their own magic weapons.
After completing the set of Eight Immortals cards, Xie Mingzhe took the cards to his master for a careful look, and told him about his plan to add a new "immortal" type. Although Chen Qianlin was surprised, he also expressed his support for his disciple's decision.
The next day, the entire Nirvana Club knew about Xie Mingzhe's plan to add a new card race.
Yu Ke was the most excited, looking at Xie Mingzhe with admiration: "Azhe, you are amazing. When future players mention character cards, you will be the originator! You also created a new type of fairy cards. You will definitely be the most popular player in the professional league in the future! Hahaha, I followed you back then, and you really had good vision."
Even though the matter hadn't even been decided yet, he was dancing with joy. Chen Xiao looked at him helplessly and said, "Azhe hasn't even submitted the application form yet, why are you so excited?"
Yu Ke said confidently: "It will definitely pass the review. From now on, we will have our own special race card in Nirvana, the Immortal Race. It will be a great honor to tell others about it!"
That's true. Other clubs have their own special cards. Nirvana's humans, jokers, and plants are not new types. Although Xie Mingzhe's character card style is very special, there was already a "character" category before him, and Chen Xiao's dark plants can only be classified as "plants". If a new "fairy" type card is made, it will be able to gain a firm foothold in the professional alliance in the future.
When people later mentioned Nirvana Club, they would know that "Nirvana created the fairy race card category."
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao also laughed and patted Xie Mingzhe on the shoulder: "I believe you can do it. Just tell me if you need help."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Yes, thank you, Brother Chen!"
Qin Xuan had been silent the whole time, but after hearing this he asked seriously, "Are these Eight Immortals cards going to have special effects for their skills? The effects made by the official special effects artists, such as sword rain, lotus pond, and gold ingots, may not necessarily be what you want, right?"
"That's right." Xie Mingzhe nodded readily, "I was just looking for you. We'll discuss it in detail later. This time, I want to do not only the skill effects, but also the sound effects."
"Sound effects?" The three looked at each other.
"Well, our cards will have their own special effects and sound effects in the future, that's what will be perfect!" Xie Mingzhe said with a smile.
"..." The three were speechless. There were many players in the Alliance who made cards, but Xie Mingzhe was the first one in history who not only made strange cards but also customized special effects and sound effects!
"I know a teacher who produces music albums. If you are sure you want to make the sound effects, I will ask him to come over to help with the recording and audio editing." Chen Qianlin doted on his little apprentice and unconditionally supported Xie Mingzhe in making cards, and even used his own network of connections.
"It's great to have a professional to help!" Xie Mingzhe wanted to hug his master, but after meeting his calm eyes, he had to retract his hands and said with a smile, "If we want to impress this recording teacher, then we should make the visual effects first, and then match the sound effects according to the special effects. We can't let people come to our club every other day."
"Well, you finish making this batch of cards first, and I'll ask him to help." Chen Qianlin carefully counted the immortal cards mentioned by Xie Mingzhe and said, "Shennong, Fuxi, Nuwa, Pangu, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, Queen Mother, Childbearing Guanyin, Yue Lao, plus Taiyi Zhenren, Taishang Laojun and the newly made Eight Immortals cards. If you want to apply for immortal types, the number of cards is far from enough."
There are currently only 19, which is far from the application threshold of 30 for the new category.
But it doesn't matter. There are countless mythological materials. There are still two weeks before the competition starts, so Xie Mingzhe can continue to make cards. The competition is arranged to play individual and doubles competitions first. He makes fairy cards mainly for future team competitions. He can also make cards when he gets inspiration during the competition, so there is still plenty of time.
In the next few days, Xie Mingzhe and Qin Xuan worked together to produce special effects, making the skill special effects of the eight gods particularly cool. It must be said that Qin Xuan is particularly talented in producing 3D animations, and the characteristics he produced are completely in line with Xie Mingzhe's imagination.
Lu Dongbin's ultimate move, countless blue swords with light effects falling from the sky, created a scene of a battle between gods and immortals in fairy tales. Cao Guojiu's Yin-Yang circle light effect also fully met Xie Mingzhe's requirements, just like a magic circle in the immortal world. If it were handed over to the official special effects artists, who don't understand myths and legends, it's hard to tell what it would look like. It's more reliable to do it yourself...
In the past, the special effects of character card skills were very simple, such as archery, sword slashing or long-range spell attacks, and it was enough to extract materials from the special effects library. In the later stage, we made Yan Wang and immortal cards, because hell, sword arrays, and immortal spells were all very novel, and Xie Mingzhe personally supervised the production of special effects and was responsible for his own cards.
Otherwise, it would be too strange if the skills released by the Eastern Immortal were blinding high-tech special effects of the future.
***
It took a week to make the special effects for this batch of cards, and it was already July 25 when it was finished. Chen Qianlin did invite that professional recording engineer friend, who had natural curly hair and was called Luo Cheng. He looked like an artist and was said to be Chen Qianlin's college classmate. He had recorded songs for many famous singers and was very famous in the circle.
Xie Mingzhe felt that it was a waste of talent to ask such a professional to make the sound effects for the cards, so he was very respectful to him and called him "Teacher Luo" all the time, and was particularly polite.
Luo Cheng did not put on airs either. He patiently called up the sound effects library and matched the skills of the Eight Immortals with appropriate sound effects according to Xie Mingzhe's requirements. Lan Caihe's "singing" was recorded by Xie Mingzhe himself. There were no lyrics. He just hummed a few lines of the melody written by Teacher Luo. After some tuning and processing, the lazy and unrestrained temperament of the immortals was really revealed.
Xie Mingzhe was particularly satisfied with what he heard, but Yu Ke quietly complained to Qin Xuan: "In future competitions, everyone will be annoyed when they hear Alex Man singing. If they knew that this song was recorded by Ah Zhe himself, everyone will be even more annoyed with him, hahaha."
Qin Xuan said nothing, but just nodded in agreement.
Luo Cheng is indeed a professional sound engineer with first-class sound editing skills. With the help of this teacher, the sound effects of the Eight Immortals Cards perfectly matched Xie Mingzhe's settings. He imported the cards into the game and connected the sound effects to try it out - it was definitely a concert. The sound of the flute was so melodious that it took people to a fairyland; when Lan Caihe used his skills, he could hear a mysterious chant from ancient times; Cao Guojiu's jade board, when struck in silence, sounded particularly crisp and pleasant.
If you ignore the fact that this is a competition, the sound effects are actually quite nice if you just close your eyes and listen to them.
But in the competition, when the cards are immobilized and losing a lot of health, hearing these sounds will make people particularly annoyed.
After finishing the sound effects processing in one day, Chen Qianlin took the initiative to invite this old friend to dinner, and the four players of Nirvana also went with him. Xie Mingzhe logged into the game before leaving and submitted all the special effects, sound effects and cards to the review channel.

official headquarters.
Zhou Jiayao was used to hearing the familiar voice "8 new cards submitted to the manual review channel" again. She perked up and said, "It's probably Xie Mingzhe's card again. Let's take a look."
Having reviewed 11 joker cards and 12 character cards before, the 8 this time were considered relatively few, and Zou Xiaoning was secretly glad.
However, when the data package was opened, everyone was stunned: "WTF, how come there are sound effects?"
"Eight cards, each skill has a special effect, and also a sound effect?" Everyone's jaw dropped. They had never seen such a weird player. Should we say he was too serious and responsible? Or should we say he was... too annoying?
Previously, I was in the Data Department and the Map Department, and occasionally I would work overtime with the Special Effects Department.
Now, the sound effects department is also being dragged into this? !
Zhou Jiayao wanted to bang her head against the wall - she must have had a brain seizure to be transferred to the Card Data Department as Director. If she had known that a weirdo like Xie Mingzhe would appear, she should have stayed in the dungeon department honestly, writing dungeon programming and finding dungeon bugs every day. How great would that be?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally Zhou Jiayao could only pretend to be calm and said, "Go and invite the people from the sound effects department over."
From the "three-party talks" to the "four-party talks", the meeting room of the Data Department is becoming more and more lively.
The director of the sound effects department, who was attending the review for the first time, was a little confused. Why did they have to go through so much trouble just to review a card? Data, maps, special effects, sound effects... were they really that complicated?
However, when the card Cao Guojiu appeared on the screen, she finally understood what was going on.
He is indeed the legendary card-making master Xie Mingzhe!
The calculation of the skill data of this card alone is extremely complicated, and the data department must repeatedly check the balance; the constant movement of the two formations will involve the collision of various maps, which needs to be checked by the map department; the special effects of the Yin-Yang formation are made by them themselves, and the approval of the special effects department is required; the knocking sound of the jade plate is also recorded by them, and how to achieve a perfect match with the frequency of releasing skills naturally needs to be handled by the sound effects department.
The directors of the four departments all had a collective headache and complained in their hearts.
——Hsieh Ming-che, you have such a wild imagination, why don’t you just make a game yourself?
Zou Xiaoning twitched his lips and said, "In the previous batch of cards, Pan Jinlian kept saying 'Da Lang drank the medicine' while feeding poison to people, and Sun Erniang even made human meat buns and made me go without buns for a week. I thought that was enough... Now he actually sent the sound effects over, and wants to hold a card concert?"
Zhou Jiayao said with a smile: "Ever since Xie Mingzhe appeared, I always feel that every card seems to have consciousness, falling in love, getting pregnant, reincarnating, and occasionally even listening to a concert. The rich and wonderful life of the cards is much more interesting than ours!"
Everyone: “…………”
After listening to the director's words, everyone suddenly felt particularly sad.
We who work overtime every day seem to be living worse than a card?
