Xie Mingzhe quickly thought of a way to deal with the elephants.
The person he remembered most clearly who was associated with elephants was Cao Chong, a child prodigy from the Three Kingdoms period.
It is said that Wu Wang Sun Quan presented an elephant to Cao Cao as a tribute. Cao Cao was very curious and wanted to know the weight of the elephant, but none of the civil and military officials had figured out how to weigh such a large object. Cao Cao's son, the six-year-old prodigy Cao Chong, came up with a clever idea -
Put the elephant on the boat, and make a mark on the hull when the water level sinks. Then load the boat with other things. When the water level reaches this mark, weigh the total weight of these things to know the weight of the elephant.
The story of Cao Chong weighing the elephant is widely circulated among the people. What he actually used is the "method of equal substitution" that is very commonly used by scientists later on. He used countless small pieces of stone to replace the huge elephant, which is equivalent to decomposing the elephant's volume into fragments, turning the "big" into "small".
The most famous elephant card that Tang Muzhou mentioned is the white elephant of the earth player Zheng Feng, which has 200,000 health points.
It is really time-consuming to have this huge creature standing there and slowly wear down its health. If you can use the instant death skill to get rid of the elephant card, it will really speed up the pace of the game.
Xie Mingzhe thought about this and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it can produce an instant death effect."
Tang Muzhou said: "Let's give it a try."
Xie Mingzhe connected his mental power to the card-making system. According to his own ideas, he first drew a cute little prodigy Cao Chong on the card, and then drew a miniature elephant and a boat, and put the elephant into the boat.
The skill design is called "Calling the Elephant", and the object-type card will die when it is triggered.
Thanks to his extensive card-making experience, Xie Mingzhe was able to complete this card quickly.
However, the card review took a very long time this time. It used to take one minute to review, but this time it took three minutes. Then the system popped up a prompt: "The card cannot pass the database review, please modify it."
Unable to pass review?
Zhong Kui just failed the review, Xie Mingzhe speculated that the joker card was a "dead spirit" and could not continue to "die". But the elephant is a living creature, and the character Cao Chong must not be repeated in the database. Could it be that the skill description is the same as someone else's card?
Xie Mingzhe was a little confused, and turned to look at Tang Muzhou and said, "God Tang, what does this mean?"
Tang Muzhou also heard the system prompt sound just now. He picked up the card and took a look. After thinking carefully for a moment, he came to the conclusion: "Instant death judgment cannot be made because the official has data control. No matter what skill it is, the maximum damage caused to a single target at one time cannot exceed 150,000."
In other words, there is a limit to the amount of damage that can be done by cards made by players. You can't just make a random card that can instantly kill someone else's defense card with 200,000 HP.
Xie Mingzhe responded and asked, "Then the instant death card I made before was able to pass the system review. Is it because the flower, bird, butterfly, and monster cards I targeted did not have a health point of more than 150,000?"
Tang Muzhou nodded: "Most of these are attack cards, with very low health and defense. Theoretically, they can kill instantly. My Tuberose card is the card with the highest health in the wood card deck, but it only has 100,000 health. Elephant cards belong to the earth element. There are currently three types: white elephant, black elephant, and wild elephant. All of them have more than 150,000 health and super strong defense. The instant kill skill cannot be triggered, so the card you made cannot pass the database review."
Xie Mingzhe looked at the cards in his hand and scratched his head: "So, elephant cards can't have instant death effects, what should I do?"
Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, pointed at the card he made called "Zhong Kui Catches Ghosts", and said, "The ghost card can't produce an instant death effect either. Didn't you use the clever 'catch ghosts' method to destroy the ghost card's skill? You can also modify the skill of Calling the Elephant in the same way and change it to strong control of the elephant."
Xie Mingzhe suddenly had an idea and immediately connected to the card-making system to make changes.
Five minutes later, a new card came out.
Cao Chong (Earth system)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 100, Attack 0, Defense 100, Agility 30, Crit 0%
Additional Skill: Weighing the Elephant (The prodigy Cao Chong weighs the elephant, forcing the elephant into the boat, unable to move, unable to release skills, until Cao Chong finishes weighing)
Xie Mingzhe happily showed it to Tang Muzhou. "God Tang, do you think this is okay?"
Tang Muzhou: “…”
OK, that’s great!
This idea is quite bizarre. If you can't kill the elephant in seconds, just drive the elephant into the boat and don't let it out, right?
In the card, the cute child prodigy was holding a model of a boat and put the elephant into the boat. Tang Muzhou was in a complicated mood. If this card appeared in Yueban's card store tomorrow, Lao Zheng would probably laugh out of anger.
Well, it’s none of his business. He just gave Uncle Fat a hint, and the rest was Uncle Fat’s own thought.
I also want to thank God Nie for his curse. Remember today Nie Yuandao cursed the joker and the elephant in the group, and the hit rate of this Crow Mouth was as high as 100%. God Nie should be awarded the "Best Curse Award in the Alliance".
Xie Mingzhe gave Tang Muzhou one of each of the three newly made cards. Tang Muzhou didn't hesitate and put away the cards happily.
***
In the afternoon, Xie Mingzhe stayed in his personal space to draw cards.
Making each card consumes mental energy. The more cards he made, the more he found that his brain power was insufficient. He would have a headache after making about 20 cards. Once he had a headache, the data of the cards he made would be problematic. So he would log off and rest for ten minutes after making cards for an hour, combining work with rest.
The afternoon passed quickly, and the cards Xie Mingzhe made today also set a historical record.
He first drew 10 pictures of Daiyu, Baochai, Xishi and Wang Zhaojun respectively. He wanted to give one to Tang Muzhou and keep one for the display cabinet in the store, so he drew 12 pictures of Zhong Kui, Sha Seng and Cao Chong respectively.
My head hurts so much it's about to explode.
Seeing him sitting on the sofa and rubbing his temples, Chen Xiao walked over and said with concern: "Don't be too impatient, you can draw the cards slowly. If you continue like this, it will be a burden on your mental strength, and it may affect your body over time."
Xie Mingzhe nodded, "Brother Chen, I know, but I've already been selling instant death cards for three days. The card makers in other clubs are not stupid. They must also be seizing the time to study instant death cards according to my ideas. I can't relax these few days. I'll sell as many as I can before the price drops."
Chen Xiao patted his shoulder gently and said, "I can't help you with card making, but I will prepare the materials you need. The three cards you made this time are all earth-related cards. We have already collected all the earth-related materials required to upgrade them to level 70 and seven stars."
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Fortunately, he had sought cooperation with Chen Xiao at that time. Otherwise, if he relied on himself alone, he would have a splitting headache just from drawing the cards, and he really had no energy to take care of other things.
Having a friend to help him saves a lot of trouble. When Xie Mingzhe came online again, he saw that Chi Qing had upgraded the three new cards to full stars and placed them in the card display cabinet on the first floor. The display cabinet on the second floor also neatly arranged the 70 first-level cards to be sold tomorrow.
Xie Mingzhe walked around the store and went to bed feeling satisfied.
***
The next day at 11:30, Xie Mingzhe's Yueban Card Store opened on time.
Just like yesterday, countless people rushed into the store as soon as it opened, including the presidents of major guilds and countless onlookers who were watching the excitement... and of course, including the super popular player of the Hell Club, Gui Sirui.
Gui Sirui had heard from others how popular the cards in Yueban Card Shop were, so as soon as he entered the store, he immediately rushed to the second floor. Relying on the extremely fast reaction and hand speed of a professional player, he came to the back three rows of display cabinets and bought them without even looking at what was painted on the cards.
His speed was so fast that he actually bought three new cards.
Then, he returned to the first floor with satisfaction and observed today's new card skills in front of the full-level card display cabinet.
In the middle of the display cabinet on the first floor, four beauties are placed side by side: Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun. He has seen them all before. The four beauties have different styles. The cards are enlarged and placed in the display area in the middle of the store, which is indeed pleasing to the eye.
To the side and back of the four beauty cards are three new cards that were just released today, all of which have been upgraded to the maximum level.
Gui Sirui walked over with curiosity and took a look——
Earth-type card [Sha Seng], with the additional skill [Magic Staff to Subdue Demons], demon-type cards will die instantly.
Liu Jingxu said calmly yesterday, "It's not us anyway." He was slapped in the face, right? So why did you say such a thing? I can't stop it! I feel sorry for Brother Xu.
Earth card [Cao Chong], skill [Weighing the Elephant], the prodigy Cao Chong weighs the elephant, forcing the elephant to enter the boat, unable to move, unable to release skills...
What the hell is this? Is Master’s elephant being targeted as well?
Although it is not an instant death sentence, what is the difference between an elephant staying in the boat, unable to move or use skills, being alive or dead?
Gui Sirui resisted the urge to beat up the author and continued reading.
The earth-type card [Zhong Kui] has an additional skill [Catch Ghosts], which can catch ghost cards into the Qiankun bag, making them lose their ability to move.
Gui Sirui: “????”
God Nirvana, thank you so much!
Every time you curse someone, it hits the mark. We in Hell are all in trouble because of your curses!
Gui Sirui felt like crying but had no tears. He immediately took off his helmet and turned to look for his master.
In the next room, Zheng Feng sat on the sofa, folding his arms and watching the game review of last season. There was a large plate of fruit on the table, and he looked very relaxed. Seeing Gui Sirui walked in with a depressed look on his face, Zheng Feng laughed and said, "Xiao Gui, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the Yueban card store really sold a card targeting you?"
Gui Sirui pushed his glasses with a bitter face and said helplessly: "He made a card called Zhong Kui. It doesn't kill ghosts instantly, but it captures my ghosts into the Qiankun bag."
Zheng Feng laughed heartlessly: "Hahahaha, disciple, you are in trouble now. If your female ghost in white is captured, it will be very difficult to fight!"
Gui Sirui was speechless: "Is there any master who makes fun of his apprentice like you? He is targeting you too!"
Zheng Feng continued to laugh: "Really? Can he still target me?"
Gui Sirui turned on the data-interconnected smart tablet computer and enlarged the card of Cao Chong that he had just bought in front of him to show Zheng Feng.
Zheng Feng's smile suddenly stopped and froze on his face.
After a long time, Zheng Feng came back to his senses, rubbed his stiff face, and couldn't help but burst out with swear words: "Damn it! You took my elephant away and put it in the boat to weigh it? You can still play like this?"
At this moment, Liu Jingxu, who always turned a deaf ear to the outside world, walked in.
Seeing the strange expressions on the master and his apprentice's faces, he calmly said, "Don't worry, that month and a half didn't target us anyway."
Zheng Feng: “…”
Gui Sirui: “…”
Liu Jingxu, who achieved success late in life, was always a step behind in life and had no idea that his monster cards were also being targeted.
Gui Sirui didn't want to say anything. He sighed helplessly and directly showed him the three cards on the smart computer.
Zhong Kui catches ghosts, Sha Seng subdues monsters, Cao Chong weighs an elephant...
Liu Jingxu's originally calm facial expression finally slowly shattered.
The author has something to say:
The instant death cards are almost done. Five of the six major clubs have already come out. It doesn’t matter if there are too many characters and I can’t remember them all. Anyway, they will PK with Pipizhe one by one in the later stage. I will write about them in detail then.
