Since Chen Xiao directly stopped accepting orders from the power leveling studio, Xie Mingzhe could concentrate on making cards at night.
At 8:30, Chen Xiao took the others to count the materials that the studio had collected during this period, and prepared to leave all the materials for Xie Mingzhe to study cards. Xie Mingzhe felt warm in his heart when he knew Chen Xiao's move. He didn't have many friends in this world, but he could see that Brother Chen was really doing it for his own good, and these friends were also very enthusiastic about him - having a team feeling was indeed much better than working alone.
After returning to his personal space, Xie Mingzhe began to think about the approach for the new card.
The success of the two cards, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, coupled with the advice of Master Tang, completely opened up the idea of making instant-death cards for him.
Since "Daiyu Burying Flowers" can cause instant death to flowers, and "Treasure Hairpin Catching Butterflies" can cause instant death to butterflies, then as long as you connect the characters with specific actions and scenes, and then concentrate your mental strength and set the "one-hit kill" effect when making the cards, other cards will definitely be able to produce instant death judgments.
In the Red Mansion, only Daiyu Burying Flowers and Baochai Catching Butterflies have instant death cards. He can't find inspiration to make instant death cards for characters like Shi Xiangyun and Wang Xifeng for the time being, so he can try to make other control and output cards in the future.
There are many characters in the Three Kingdoms, but he couldn't think of a character in the Three Kingdoms that could be used to make a card that targets a certain type of instant death. As for Journey to the West, he could have Sun Wukong trigger the instant death of monsters, but he felt that it would be a waste of resources to make only one instant death card for such a powerful character like Sun Wukong. His childhood favorite was the Great Sage Sun Wukong, so he should be able to make a super powerful battle card.
In the Star Card World, the card images and skills cannot be repeated, otherwise they will not pass the review. If he makes a Sun Wukong with an instant death card now, he can't make another Sun Wukong with different skills in the future. So, even if he has a lot of ideas, he can't waste them casually.
Unable to find inspiration from classics, Xie Mingzhe turned his attention to historical figures.
Daiyu and Baochai are both beauties, and he quickly thought of the four great beauties - Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Guifei.
Each of these four ancient beauties has a poignant story, and it is also from these four beauties that the later use of the phrase "beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and beauty that can shame the moon and flowers" was extended to describe women's appearance when they were praised.
Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up. This idea is worth a try!
"沉鱼" is about Xi Shi. It is said that when Xi Shi was washing clothes by the river, her face was reflected in the water. The fish in the river saw how beautiful she was and sank in shame - can we make the fish die instantly?
As for Xi Shi, he had never watched the corresponding TV series, so he could only imagine it by himself. Fortunately, Xie Mingzhe in this world studied painting very hard since he was a child, and his artistic foundation was very solid, so it was not difficult for him to draw some characters.
He quickly thought of Xi Shi, who should be a slim woman with a light veil in her hands.
Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and decided to paint such a scene - Xi Shi was leaning over the river to wash the gauze in her hands. The gauze brushed across the fish in the water. Seeing such a beautiful person, the fish forgot to breathe and sank to the bottom of the water together.
In this way, the light gauze in Xi Shi's hand can be set as her weapon, just like Baochai's fan.
As long as the light yarn touches the fish, it will directly cause the death of the fish.
After thinking of the entire setup, Xie Mingzhe immediately came to the study and connected his mental power to the card-making system.
He concentrated on drawing the cards. The three key elements, Xi Shi, gauze and fish, had to be drawn clearly and meticulously, especially the weapons. Xie Mingzhe drew a soft white gauze in the crook of Xi Shi's arm, and the fish was also drawn vividly. The scene was simplified so as not to affect the formation of the illusion, and the river was directly drawn with simple wavy lines to express the artistic conception.
The distribution of data must also be taken seriously, with key data being placed on agility.
Xie Mingzhe concentrated his mental power to the extreme, and clearly imagined in his mind the scene of Xishi killing fish with the light gauze in his hand. While drawing the card, he also had to consider the setting of skills and the distribution of data. For ordinary people, it is almost impossible to carry out three steps in the mind at the same time.
However, Xie Mingzhe had previously successfully produced Daiyu and Baochai cards, so “three things at once” was not too difficult for him.
The first card required careful thinking. This time, Xie Mingzhe spent a full ten minutes carefully drawing the Xishi card in his spiritual world.
After drawing, the system prompts: "Card production is complete, please connect to the database to review your card."
Xie Mingzhe finished reviewing the cards and took a look at them——
Xishi (Water System)
Card Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Available times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 200, Attack 0, Defense 50, Agility 30, Critical Hit Rate 0%
Additional Skill: Sinking Fish (Causes severe damage to fish cards, 30% chance of triggering instant death)
The Xi Shi on the card has a graceful figure, holding a snow-white veil in her hands. All fish will be afraid of her when they see her!
Done!
Xie Mingzhe excitedly put away the Xi Shi card and immediately started making Wang Zhaojun.
The "falling wild goose" among the four beauties refers to Wang Zhaojun. Zhaojun married and lived far away in the frontier. She missed her hometown so much that she played the pipa "Song of the Frontier" alone in the frontier. The melody was heartbreaking. The wild geese flying in the sky saw her beautiful face and heard the sad sound of the pipa, and they actually fell to the ground.
Xie Mingzhe thought of the setting and began to sketch the image of this beauty in his mind.
Xi Shi was a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, and she wore soft gauze skirts. But Zhaojun, because she was to marry far away in the frontier, must have worn thicker clothes, with fur decorations on her cuffs, collar, and skirt, and a bright red cape. This kind of dress was very beautiful, and also had a sense of the coolness of marrying far away in the frontier.
Xie Mingzhe first thought about how to draw the character, and then drew a weapon for Zhaojun, letting her hold a pipa in her hand - the beautiful woman's slender fingers plucked the pipa strings, and the sound of the pipa startled the wild geese in the sky.
In the card picture, the beauty, the pipa, and the falling goose are the key elements that stand out, and the composition is also very complete.
The process of making this card was also smooth.
After ten minutes of highly concentrated drawing, the familiar "Yueban" logo will be printed on the back of the approved cards again.
Wang Zhaojun (Gold)
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: Falling Goose (Causes severe damage to goose cards, 30% chance of triggering instant death)
Xie Mingzhe puts the emphasis on agility, concentrating his mental power on agility. The other life and defense are randomly generated by the system, and the values are very low, but these are not important. Anyway, tactical cards can only be used once, and there is no difference between 10 life and 100 life.
But he noticed that the properties of the cards had changed.
Wang Zhaojun’s attributes are different from those of Daiyu, Baochai, and Xi Shi whom he had portrayed before.
Why is it the "gold series"?
Xie Mingzhe didn't quite understand, so he tilted his head to carefully examine this freshly-made Wang Zhaojun card.
Just at this moment, he received a private voice message from Tang Muzhou's second account "7456789": "Uncle Fat, I saw your store announcement. You said that in addition to Daiyu and Baochai, there will be new cards tomorrow at noon? Have the new cards been completed?"
Tang Shen took the initiative to look for him. Xie Mingzhe happened to have a question he didn't understand, so he said, "Is Tang Shen free? I have a question for you."
Tang Muzhou said: "Okay. Invite me to your personal apartment."
Xie Mingzhe sent him an invitation after hearing this. A moment later, Tang Muzhou's trumpet arrived at Xie Mingzhe's personal apartment, and Xie Mingzhe took him directly to the study. Compared with Tang Shen's study full of research materials, Xie Mingzhe's study display cabinet looked very shabby. He was a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said, "Tang Shen, my place is relatively simple."
Tang Muzhou said gently: "It's okay, let's look at the cards first."
Xie Mingzhe took out the newly made paintings of Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun and showed them to him.
Tang Muzhou narrowed his eyes when he saw the two beauty cards - "Xi Shi sinks fish" is not friendly to a certain water player. "Zhaojun falls wild geese" is aimed at Shanlan's flying wild geese card with the fastest attack speed.
Xie Mingzhe said, "I stacked my agility to 30 as you said. These two instant death cards should be qualified, right?"
Tang Muzhou did not hide his admiration for you: "You did a great job. I didn't expect you to improve so quickly."
This great god especially liked to praise him. Xie Mingzhe smiled modestly and said, "I have to thank God Tang for his guidance. Now I have figured out how to distribute the data of the instant death cards, and I am getting more and more comfortable with making high-sensitivity cards."
Tang Muzhou said, "You just said you had a question for me. What do you not understand?"
Xie Mingzhe pointed at the card of Wang Zhaojun and said, "I originally wanted to make her a water type, but how come she turned out to be a gold type?"
"Because of weapons." Tang Muzhou knew the reason after taking a look at the card and explained, "In this game, all cards with metal weapons, such as bows, swords, daggers, broadswords, etc., will be classified as gold-based card groups. The strings on the pipa in your Wang Zhaojun's hand should be metal, so when the system controls the final data of the card, it automatically changes the card's attributes to gold."
Xie Mingzhe was a little confused: "But, Wang Zhaojun playing the piano should be considered a sonic attack, right? It's not like she's just using the piano to hit someone, so does it have to be classified as a gold card? Does the database only judge based on the weapon?"
"Yes, this setting should be blamed on Ling Jing Tang." Tang Muzhou said patiently, "Ling Jing Tang debuted in the second season. He is the originator of gold cards and created a humanoid weapon card. Because his gold deck's critical hit rate was too strong, the entire gold deck was later affected by him. The official modified some database rules because of him - as long as there is a metal weapon element in the card, it will be classified as a gold deck."
"So that's how it is!" Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized.
One person can influence the entire gold card deck and make the official modify the database settings because of it. This Ling Jingtang is obviously a very powerful master. Just like Tang Muzhou perfected the wood plant cards and Nie Yuandao influenced the fire beast cards, Ling Jingtang should be the representative player of the gold card deck.
"By the way, please take one of the Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun that I just made, Tang Shen," said Xie Mingzhe.
"How much?" Tang Muzhou was about to pay when he heard the other party say, "No thanks."
"Huh?" Tang Muzhou looked up at him with some confusion.
"You spent 660,000 yuan to buy the Daiyu card, and you taught me so many things. It would be unkind of me to ask you for money." Xie Mingzhe said loyally, "I can draw the cards anytime. I'll give you both of them."
"So, I have been upgraded from a VIP reservation customer to a free special customer?" Tang Muzhou asked with a smile.
"As long as Tang Shen is interested in instant death cards, I will give you one of the instant death cards I draw in the future." Xie Mingzhe is not a greedy person. He earns a lot from selling cards now. Two cards cost 200,000 gold coins. It would be too stingy for him to ask Tang Muzhou for money. Tang Shen has really helped him a lot, and he really wants to make this friend. It's just a few cards, he can draw them anytime, and he won't charge for the cards that Tang Muzhou likes in the future.
"Thank you." Tang Muzhou took the card and his voice became warmer. "Then I'll help you too. You need to modify the Wang Zhaojun card."
"Change it?" Xie Mingzhe didn't understand, but he was still willing to listen to Tang Muzhou's words, and immediately asked seriously, "The agility and basic probability have reached 30. Does Tang Shen think that there is a problem with the skill design of this card?"
"Yes. There are very few Goose cards, and the Falling Goose skill targets too narrow a range. In the current high-end league, only Shan Lan has a Flying Goose card with high dodge and high crit, which he uses to kill the opponent's squishy skin. His Flying Goose card attacks too fast, and your instant death skill will have a hard time hitting it. Others don't have Goose cards, so your Wang Zhaojun looks beautiful, but it's not very practical."
"So that's how it is." Xie Mingzhe's understanding of the Arena was not as deep as Tang Muzhou's. Daiyu's flower targeting, Baochai's butterfly targeting, and Xishi's fish targeting all targeted a wide range of cards. So it seemed that Zhaojun's skills were really useless if they only targeted geese. Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to ask, "How do you think this card should be modified?"
"Why not change it to target birds?" Tang Muzhou suggested. "Birds are a fairly large category of decks. Any bird that can fly, such as larks, crows, sparrows, eagles, geese, etc., are all classified as birds. Wang Zhaojun's weapon is a pipa, and playing the pipa can shoot down flying birds. This setting makes sense in principle. You can try it."
"Okay!" Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up and he immediately stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
When he was drawing the falling geese, he drew the wild geese very clearly. Since he wanted to make the skill more targeted, he changed the wild geese and drew a few flying animals that were difficult to distinguish, to create the effect of "the sound of the piano can kill the birds with one blow."
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe closed his eyes and connected his mental power to the card-making system.
The card of Wang Zhaojun kept magnifying in his mind. He imagined a fatal scene of Wang Zhaojun playing the pipa and using sound waves to scare away birds in the sky. At the same time, he modified the original text in the skill description...
After about ten minutes, the card was finally modified.
Xie Mingzhe picked it up and took a look. The other attributes had not changed much, but the additional skill had indeed changed according to his imagination.
Additional Skill: Song of the Frontier (Wang Zhaojun plays the song of the frontier, shooting down flying objects in the air, causing heavy damage to bird cards, with a 30% chance of triggering instant death)
Success!
Xie Mingzhe's heartbeat quickened, and the fingers holding the cards were trembling slightly.
He discovered something crucial.
This world does not follow the rules of the Earth era due to cultural discontinuities. Historically, Wang Zhaojun played the song of the frontier to shoot down the flying geese, but now, he can change the story with his own spiritual power, turning the target of the flying geese into the entire flying species.
In other words, as long as his mental strength is strong enough, his imagination is broad enough, and his skill design makes sense in principle, he can appropriately use some myths and legends, historical events, and stories about people to create the card effects he wants to achieve.
In this way, his thinking will be broader than simply using classics, history, and legendary stories!
Xie Mingzhe was extremely excited, and a new idea for making cards came to his mind.
He didn't know that Tang Muzhou was in a particularly good mood at this time.
Xi Shi's beauty makes fish die instantly. It is the nemesis of water players. The water players in Liushuang City Club must be depressed. In the song of Zhaojun's journey to the frontier, the sound wave shoots down flying objects. Seeing this instant death card, Shan Lan, who has a hand full of flying cards and loves to laugh, probably won't be able to laugh.
Tang Muzhou thinks he is very wise. If we all suffer together, our Star Card Alliance will be more harmonious and friendly, right?
The group will definitely be lively tomorrow at noon.
At the same time, at the referee club, Shan Lan was about to put on his helmet when he suddenly sneezed loudly.
What is this vague premonition?
