On the morning of October 3, Xie Mingzhe submitted all eight cards with all the special effects to the review channel.

As soon as the official data analysts got to work early in the morning, they heard a familiar system voice - 8 new cards were submitted to the manual review channel, please complete the review as soon as possible.

Zhou Jiayao said without thinking: "It must be Xie Mingzhe, let's get to work!"

Zou Xiaoning walked to the big screen curiously and asked, "Could it be another Immortal deck? Something like the Seven Star Lords or the Eight Immortals."

The colleague next to him stroked his chin and said, "I think it's possible."

Zhou Jiayao didn't say anything, but directly opened the card data submitted by the database and enlarged it on the screen. The "race" column of the eight cards was clearly marked with two words: human.

Zou Xiaoning was surprised when he saw this: "He stopped making fairy cards and started making human cards? All eight cards are human?"

Zhou Jiayao seemed to be thinking: "Only three cards have linkage. It seems that Xie Mingzhe is replenishing scattered cards."

Speaking of scattered cards, Zou Xiaoning felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help complaining: "The scattered cards he made are more troublesome to review than the decks! When we were reviewing the scattered cards such as Yue Lao and Songzi Guanyin, it seemed like we all worked overtime..."

Hearing her words, the faces of the colleagues in the data department changed at the same time, obviously recalling the painful experience when they reviewed the data balance of Yue Lao and Songzi Guanyin - they calculated the data for a whole day, and had to hold discussions and work overtime until late at night!

Xie Mingzhe's skills for scattered cards are particularly bizarre. Last time, he helped them fall in love and let the cards give birth to babies. What about this time?

Everyone suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Zhou Jiayao took a deep breath and said, "It's still early today. It's only 8:30 now. Everyone should pick a few pictures and do a preliminary review. If you find any unreasonable parts, then bring them out for discussion."

Zou Xiaoning hesitated for a moment and picked the cards of Zhang Jiao and Yuan Shao. She felt that the names of these two people did not seem too complicated. However, the names of Diao Chan and Cai Wenji showed that their skills were not simple.

After getting Zhang Jiao, Zou Xiaoning was delighted: With only one skill, I am really smart!

However, after taking a closer look at the long skill description, Zou Xiaoning's smile immediately froze on his face.

Card uprising? What the hell can a card start an uprising?!

Although Zhang Jue only designed one skill, this skill is extremely complex, equivalent to an all-in-one effect. When Zhang Jue shouts the slogan "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should be established", the skill will be activated... When Zou Xiaoning saw this, she immediately put on headphones to listen. Sure enough, the powerful slogan rang in her ears, and the corners of her mouth twitched suddenly.

Xie Mingzhe, you are awesome! You actually gave Zhang Jiao a line that goes "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established"!

Playing a game, the cards are shouting slogans to start an uprising. The cards' lives are indeed much more exciting than those of the data strategists sitting in the office. Zou Xiaoning took a deep breath, calmed down his complicated mood, and continued to look at the skills.

After Zhang Jue launches the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", the first thing is that the attack, attack speed, and critical strike of the entire group are increased, which is equivalent to a buff gain. Enemy targets within 23 meters are confused for 3 seconds, which is also fine, equivalent to a large-scale group control - but while adding buffs to teammates and confusing opponents, Zhang Jue himself can also deal 300% group gold critical strike damage, isn't this too strong?

Zou Xiaoning immediately marked this part of the description with a red line and handed it to Director Zhou Jiayao, saying, "Sister Zhou, Zhang Jiao has group buffs and group control, and he can also perform group attacks. The damage is too strong and needs further calculation."

Zhou Jiayao nodded and handed the card to Qi Rui, who was in charge of data calculation.

The young statistician Qi Rui, who was wearing glasses, immediately entered Zhang Jiao's data into the balance formula and quickly came to a conclusion, saying: "300% group damage is indeed too strong. Either reduce it to 200%, or reduce Zhang Jiao's basic attack power to 1200."

Zhou Jiayao nodded: "Make some notes first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Xiaoning said with a tearful face: "Yuan Shao's skill is too terrible! If the opponent can't kill him in one second, won't he always set up ambushes? If he sets up five or six ambushes throughout the field, the opponent will have no chance of winning."

After hearing this, Zhou Jiayao immediately went over to take a look.

Yuan Shao's card has two skills: Ambush and Random Arrows. She quickly realized that this is a skill similar to "Trap". Ambush can be invisible and a group of ambush has 40 arrows. Each arrow causes 5% damage, which adds up to 200%. The damage seems reasonable. But the key is that the ambush can be invisible all the time. A group of ambush will appear every 30 seconds. If Yuan Shao lives for more than 3 minutes, he can set up more than 6 groups of ambushes and attack at the same time. The opponent will only end up being wiped out.

Of course, the opponent is not stupid and will not sit idly by and watch Yuan Shao set up ambushes. He will definitely try to kill Yuan Shao. In actual combat, it is difficult to have more than 6 groups of ambushes, but in theory it is possible. This possibility must be nipped in the bud during the review stage.

Zhou Jiayao rubbed her temples with a headache: "How do we change this card? What do you think, Xiaoning?"

Zou Xiaoning looked at the skills, pondered for a moment, and made a suggestion: "How about letting the ambush inherit 10% of Yuan Shao's health? Soldiers with less health will be easier to kill, and the opponent can survive by using group attack skills to kill the ambush. In addition, the ambush's stealth time does not exceed 90 seconds, which limits Yuan Shao to deploying three groups of ambushes at most."

Zhou Jiayao turned around and asked Xiao Qi beside him: "If there are three groups of ambushes, will the amount of damage exceed the limit?"

Qi Rui pushed his glasses and quickly gave the result: "It is impossible to control three groups of ambushes to shoot arrows at the same time. All 120 arrows will hit the target. The actual damage will be greatly reduced. Yuan Shao's operation limit is very high. The key depends on the position of the ambushes."

Zhou Jiayao nodded: "Let's leave it like this for now, and then we'll test the damage in actual combat."

Sister Liu next door also finished the initial review at this time and reported: "Director, there is no big problem with Cai Wenji's skills. Liu Xie's card has a brand new design. His Yidaizhao can be passed between friendly cards. The card obtained enhances the attack and refreshes the skills."

Zhou Jiayao leaned over to take a look with interest: "The Imperial Decree? Is it equivalent to a buff item?"

Sister Liu nodded. "It's a bit like the game 'Pass the Flower'. Wherever the Belt of Heaven is passed, the card it touches will gain a buff. This is a limited skill that can only be used once in a match. But as long as the opponent doesn't solve the Belt of Heaven, it can be passed on continuously, allowing all cards in the field to refresh their skills."

Zhou Jiayao said: "If Yidaizhao is protected by other cards, it is indeed a bug. What do you think?"

Sister Liu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can add a precondition to the transmission of the Secret Decree, such as transmitting it every 3 seconds? To give the opponent some time to react."

Zou Xiaoning agreed: "I think it works. The Imperial Decree spreads quickly throughout the field, and all card skills are refreshed at a terrifying rate. It is read every 3 seconds, and the opponent can find an opportunity to destroy the Imperial Decree."

Zhou Jiayao nodded: "Well, what about Sun Quan's card?"

Sister Liu said: "Skill 1 is to pull 3 cards in a group, and give 3 cards buffs and refresh skills. The strength is very high, but it is reasonable. However, Sun Quan's refresh skill cannot be used with other cards that refresh skills, otherwise it will cause an infinite refresh bug."

Zhou Jiayao said: "Of course, just add 'Other cards refresh your skills, which can only take effect once within 3 minutes' in the description."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but in their hearts they were complaining that Xie Mingzhe's weird skills really made it difficult for the data engineers!

Zhou Jiayao asked: "Mr. Zhang, how about your three cards?"

Lao Zhang rubbed his forehead and said, "It's fine if the cards are in love, but this is a fucking love triangle!"

Zou Xiaoning immediately ran over to see what was going on: "What love triangle?"

Old Zhang pointed at Diao Chan's joint skills angrily and said, "She told Dong Zhuo that Lu Bu bullied her, and then told Lu Bu that Dong Zhuo wanted to force her to marry him. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu both liked Diao Chan. This is simply a love triangle Shura scene!"

Zou Xiaoning: “…” People who have never been in love don’t want to talk.

Sister Liu asked curiously, "Now that you put it like that, I really want to know what happened next. Who did Diao Chan end up with?"

Zou Xiaoning: "I want to know too..."

"You should ask Xie Mingzhe about this!" Lao Zhang angrily slammed the table: "As card reviewers, we are actually following "Card Love Story". Is this appropriate?"

Zou Xiaoning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand, he was reviewing Xie Mingzhe's cards, and on the other hand, he was following Xie Mingzhe's love story in the cards. They were really the most miserable group of official data engineers. I'll ask Xie Mingzhe privately someday, who does Diao Chan like? Who is he with?

Seeing that the card review department had turned into a "card love story gossip seminar", Director Zhou Jiayao immediately stepped in to control the situation: "Ignore these messy emotional entanglements and look at the skills. Lao Zhang, are there any problems with these three cards?"

Lao Zhang said: "According to my preliminary calculations, there is nothing wrong with Lu Bu's design. It is a typical single critical hit harvesting card. After killing the opponent, the skill is refreshed. If you can't kill the opponent, you can't refresh it. The endgame is very strong."

The refresh skill of the Harvest card is its own feature. For example, Pan Jinlian will refresh her own skills after killing the opponent. This is different from "skills refreshed by other auxiliary cards or linked skills refresh", so it is not subject to the restriction of refreshing only once every 3 minutes.

Lao Zhang then enlarged Dong Zhuo on the projection screen and said, "Dong Zhuo's shield needs to be calculated in detail. Group bloodsucking can add up to 20% of his shield at most. A single attack can turn 20% of the opponent's blood into a shield. After the shield is broken, it will counterattack for 5 seconds. This card is very difficult to kill."

Zou Xiaoning interjected, "From the design of the shield taunt card, Dong Zhuo's strength is about the same as Jia Baoyu, right? I remember that Jia Baoyu can summon Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai can also always add a shield to him."

Lao Zhang said: "The key is that after Diao Chan's linkage, all of Dong Zhuo's shield skills will be refreshed. The opponent finally knocked down two of his shields, and after refreshing the skills, he absorbed two more. This survivability is too strong."

Zhou Jiayao frowned in thought. From the perspective of skill design, Dong Zhuo didn't have much of a problem. Shield taunt cards were also common in the league. He had two shield skills, one for 60 seconds and one for 40 seconds, and the cooldown time was reasonable. But the existence of Diao Chan and the linked refresh skills raised Dong Zhuo's strength to a higher level.

After careful consideration, Zhou Jiayao made the final decision: "First, Diao Chan's linkage should be a limited skill, which can only be activated once per game. Don't let her go to fight with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu again after a few seconds. It would be too much to trigger linkage repeatedly. In addition, there is no problem with the design of Dong Zhuo's card. If you want to weaken him, you can only reduce his basic data."

Xiao Qi interrupted and said, "The basic defense and health of gold cards is 1800, which is a bit high. Dong Zhuo does not rely on health to resist damage, the key is still the shield. The basic value is about 1600. The specific number needs further calculation."

Zhou Jiayao nodded: "Okay. What about the Diao Chan card? Is it okay?"

Old Zheng felt a splitting headache. "This card... Sigh, I don't know how to explain it. Diao Chan's Moon Worship makes other cards evade, which is equivalent to a mass exile. It's more powerful than any hard control skill."

Zou Xiaoning carefully read Diao Chan's skill description and his eyes widened. "Because she is too beautiful, other cards are ashamed to compete with her, so they have to avoid her? Then our data analyst is not as beautiful as her, can we avoid her and stop reviewing her?"

Zhou Jiayao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xie Mingzhe's skill description is just this kind of silly style, don't worry about it."

Zou Xiaoning really wanted to grab Xie Mingzhe and give him a beating - not only did he use all kinds of card love stories to stimulate the singles in the data department, but he also said that the cards were too beautiful and must be avoided. It must be very stressful for a data engineer with ordinary looks to review such beautiful cards, right?

Zhou Jiayao was also in a dilemma as to whether to pass the Diao Chan card.

The second skill is a range crowd control, which is fine. The key is the first skill "Diao Chan worships the moon", which forces the opponent to not summon new cards within 3 seconds, or forces the cards within a 5×5 meter range to evade. Both options are very abnormal.

No matter whether it is a control skill or a domination skill, it is effective on the cards on the field. Diao Chan, on the other hand, directly forces the cards out of the field. This design is very innovative. Emotionally speaking, Zhou Jiayao actually likes the design of Diao Chan very much, but reason tells her that this card cannot be passed easily and must undergo repeated data tests, otherwise it is likely to affect the balance of the field.

It was already noon when the preliminary review ended. We hurriedly ate lunch and started detailed data calculations in the afternoon.

We thought that since Xie Mingzhe submitted the cards early in the morning, they would be reviewed before leaving get off work. However, the skill designs of the cards were very complicated. We worked overtime until ten o'clock in the evening before we finally completed the review of the eight cards.

After working overtime, everyone went out for a midnight snack. Zou Xiaoning speculated, "The deck will be announced on the 10th. Will the eight cards Xie Mingzhe submitted today be the last batch? If he makes new decks, it will be too late, right?"

Zhou Jiayao said: "It's possible. Regardless of whether he will make cards again, we will be completely free after the 10th."

Everyone was moved when they heard the director's words - being freed was a good thing, but why did they feel a little empty inside? Without Xie Mingzhe's strange cards to stimulate them, would life in the data department become particularly boring?

Zhou Jiayao saw through everyone's thoughts and said, "Don't panic, there's still next season, and the season after that."

Everyone: “…………”

The director is right, the relief is only temporary. As long as Xie Mingzhe continues to make cards, their data department will never be bored.

***

The next morning, Xie Mingzhe woke up to receive an official review email.

This email is longer than any previous one, listing detailed modification suggestions for 8 cards one by one, such as lowering Dong Zhuo's basic attributes, adding a description of "refresh skill and take effect once every 3 minutes" to Sun Quan's first skill, changing Zhang Jiao's group attack to 200%, setting a limit of once every 5 seconds for Yidaizhao, etc.

The skill design has not changed much, but many details have been modified to make the cards more reasonable. It can be seen that the official data engineers have also been very concerned about this batch of cards, and they must have gone through a lot of data verification, especially Diao Chan. The official said that although this card is very powerful, Diao Chan's operation is more skillful and can pass the review.

Xie Mingzhe quickly modified the card as requested and replied to the email sincerely: "Thank you all, data analysts. I made a lot of weird cards this season. Thank you for reviewing them one by one. Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhou Jiayao felt mixed emotions after receiving the reply.

As the data director, she couldn't bring too many personal emotions when sending emails to Xie Mingzhe, but she really wanted to say that most of Xie Mingzhe's cards had been adjusted by the data department, just like a child who grew up under the data department's watch - she would pay close attention to every game of Nirvana, and hoped that Xie Mingzhe could achieve good results with this batch of cards.

Xie Mingzhe added 8 new loose cards to the card pool. So far, Nirvana's card pool in the eleventh season has been fully completed.

Looking at the rows of familiar figures in the card display cabinet, Xie Mingzhe raised a confident smile.

Team competition, here we come!
