After coming out of hell, Xie Mingzhe quickly returned to his personal space to create a new card. At this time, Tang Muzhou sent a voice message to him: "Uncle Fat, do you have any ideas for new instant death cards? Do you need me to come over and help you?"
With Tang Shen's guidance, Xie Mingzhe was of course overjoyed and sent an invitation without hesitation.
A moment later, Tang Muzhou's trumpet appeared in his personal space.
The two of them came to the study. Xie Mingzhe did not rush to make cards, but first discussed the card-making ideas with Tang Muzhou: "God Tang, you told me before that the great god Ling Jingtang of the Temple of the Gods created a gold weapon card. According to the settings, weapons are not living things, so they cannot be directly judged as dead, right?"
"Yes. In games, the creatures that can be judged dead are usually plants, animals, and humans."
"Can I refer to the design of 'Zhong Kui Catching Ghosts' and capture the designated weapon card? Although it is not an instant death judgment, the effect is similar, right?"
"That's right." Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "This is just a difference in the skill description. The actual effect is actually instant death. You can try to let your character carry some special weapons and directly discard Ling Jingtang's weapon card."
"Well, I'll think about it more carefully!"
Cold weapons are usually made of metal, and objects that can absorb metal are of course magnets. When Xie Mingzhe saw this kind of magic weapon that can "absorb weapons", he thought of a character in Journey to the West - Taishang Laojun.
According to the description in the original novel, Taishang Laojun has many magic weapons, such as the Seven-Star Sword, the Purple Gold Red Gourd, the Mutton Fat Jade Bottle, and the Diamond Bracelet. Two boys beside him stole Taishang Laojun's "Purple Gold Red Gourd" and "Mutton Fat Jade Bottle" and became demons after going to the mortal world. They called themselves "King of the Golden Horn" and "King of the Silver Horn". The gourd and bottle are powerful magic weapons that can suck people in. Later, Tang Monk and his disciples passed by Pingding Mountain, and Sun Wukong exchanged the real gourd and the real bottle for fake treasures. Taishang Laojun went down to the mortal world to take back the two boys and took the magic weapons back to heaven.
Xie Mingzhe remembers this scene very clearly because Taishang Laojun was also a character he liked very much in his childhood.
The magic weapon "Vajra Bracelet" of Taishang Laojun fully conforms to the concept of "storing weapons".
I remember that it was said in the original book that the diamond bracelet was made of a special metal called "Kun steel". When this treasure was sacrificed, it could collect all the treasures and weapons in the world - doesn't this just happen to be able to restrain the weapon card of the great god Ling Jingtang?
In Xie Mingzhe's memory, Taishang Laojun has long white hair, white eyebrows and beard, and wears a Taoist robe, looking like an immortal. It is not difficult to draw the character, and Xie Mingzhe quickly came up with the setting.
The key lies in the weapon. Taishang Laojun usually carries Buddha dust in his hand when he appears, but since we are targeting gold weapon cards, this time let him carry the magic weapon "Vajra Bracelet" - it is a round golden bracelet that can be enlarged instantly, and any powerful weapon can be taken away by it.
After thinking of these designs, Xie Mingzhe immediately connected his mental power to the card-making system.
An image of a celestial being with a sage-like deity quickly formed in his mind.
Draw characters, set skills, assign data...
He was already very skilled at multitasking, and Laozi's weapon was much simpler to draw than Wang Zhaojun's pipa, so this time he only took five minutes to finish drawing the Laozi card.
Xie Mingzhe connected the cards he had made to the database for review, and then showed them to Tang Muzhou.
Taishang Laojun (Gold)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 100, Attack 0, Defense 100, Agility 30, Crit 0%
Additional Skills: Diamond Bracelet (throws the diamond bracelet in your hand, collects designated weapon cards, and makes the weapon cards lose their combat capabilities)
Tang Muzhou praised: "Not bad, this skill can take away gold weapon cards, which is equivalent to a variant of instant death judgment."
Xie Mingzhe was also very happy to see the new card.
If the card that restrains the gold system is successfully made, will the hatred of the League masters towards him be slightly reduced? After all, all six major clubs have been targeted, and no mainstream deck has been spared, so the competition will be relatively balanced in the future.
His instant death cards will be placed in the Yueban card store for public sale, and anyone can buy them. If you make my card instant death, I can also discard your card. When everyone gets the instant death card, the key to winning or losing the game still depends on the player's awareness.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Tang Muzhou continue, "In fact, there is another type of deck in the Temple of the Gods that is particularly difficult to target."
Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "What category?"
Tang Muzhou said: "Protoss card."
There are many small categories of cards in the Star Card World, but there are only six major categories:
Plants, animals, undead, spirits, humans, and gods.
Plants are the deck that Tang Muzhou and the players of Fenghua Club are best at. Animals include the beasts and birds of the Judgment Club, and the insects and bugs of the Dark Night City.
Plants and animals are the two most common types of cards in the game. They generate beautiful illusions, have the largest number of cards, and are the most popular among players.
The main reason for all this is three people - Tang Muzhou's master laid the foundation for the wood plant card deck, Nie Yuandao perfected the settings of the fire land animals and flying animals, and Su Yang expanded the entire water marine life card pool. As early as the first season, plant cards and animal cards were rampant on the field, which also gave players an illusion that plant cards and animal cards were the most powerful in the star card world. Until today, this concept is also difficult to change. After all, plant card decks and animal card decks have a history of nine years, and the richness of the decks is not comparable to other types.
In the second season, the appearance of weapons, stone spirits and other cards was the work of two great masters, Zheng Feng and Ling Jingtang. Ling Jingtang "personified" all his weapon cards, for example, his Wushuang Sword was a girl holding two swords; and the various rough-skinned stone spirits and mud monsters made by Zheng Feng were also objects that became spirits, so the official simply added "object spirits" to the card classification, and all object-type cards were classified here.
The Undead deck is closely related to Gui Sirui. His joker card attracted a large number of players and original players who love horror and the supernatural. After the joker card, there appeared various zombie, witchcraft, vampire and other cards. These dark decks were all officially classified as "Undead".
There have been many Terran cards since the first season, but there has never been a player who has truly formed a complete Terran card system and won the championship with Terran cards. Because, in the same human form, there is a deck that is countless times stronger than humans - that is the Protoss!
Tang Muzhou briefly introduced the card classification to Xie Mingzhe, and listed several god cards: "In the god card deck, the most famous is Odin, the king of gods. Others like the evil god Loki, the sea god Poseidon, the archangel Michael, the fallen angel Lucifer, etc., all have strong combat capabilities. God cards are immune to death judgments, so it is not easy to make instant death cards against them. To deal with god cards, you can shatter the illusion or directly seal the real body."
Xie Mingzhe: “…”
Aren't these mythical characters from Nordic and Greek legends? Could it be that Western mythology did not perish with the destruction of the earth? To confirm, Xie Mingzhe asked, "God Tang, have you heard of the mythical stories about Lucifer and Michael?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it." Tang Muzhou said, "There is a player in the Temple of the Gods named Xu Xingtu, who particularly likes these mythological stories and has done mythological research. It is said that he has published many papers on mythological legends. However, he only knows these mythological stories, and the Protoss cards were not made by him. The specific skill designs are checked by the designers of their club."
Xie Mingzhe was stunned - since Tang Muzhou had heard of characters like Lucifer and Michael, it meant that Western mythology had not completely disappeared from this world, but rather there was a gap in Eastern culture.
Xie Mingzhe wanted to write all the stories in his mind into novels so that everyone could understand the ancient Eastern civilization. Unfortunately, his writing skills were so poor that he could not write even a fraction of the wonderful stories.
Since there are Western gods in the game, theoretically, Eastern gods can also exist.
For example, the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Guanyin, and Tathagata Buddha in Journey to the West, as well as Nuwa, Fuxi, and Shennong in mythological stories... If these mythological characters were made into cards, and the gods fought, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
The "Taishang Laojun" card that he just made should have belonged to the god card, but Xie Mingzhe checked the classification of the cards and found that it was automatically classified as "human" by the system. After all, the system does not know these oriental gods. Xie Mingzhe has no idea how to deal with the classification problem.
For an unknown person like him, even if he went directly to the official headquarters and told them, "These are the magic tablets I designed, and they come from Eastern myths and legends," no one would pay attention to him. They might even think he was a psychopath and chase him away.
Maybe after a long time, when he is famous enough and has a say in the Star Card World, he can ask the official to add the category of Eastern God Cards and classify these characters into the God Card Group. But for now, Taishang Laojun can only be classified into the Human Card Group.
Seeing Fatty lower his head in deep thought, Tang Muzhou thought he was thinking about how to deal with the God Card, and couldn't help but suggest: "You can refer to the skill design of Cao Chong's card and try to use the effect of the seal, that is, the 'exile skill', to banish a designated God Card from the field."
Xie Mingzhe came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll think about it again."
Seal the divine card?
Oh, right, Investiture of the Gods!
When he was a child, he watched the animated film about Nezha causing trouble in the sea. When he was in middle school, he read the entire original novel "The Investiture of the Gods" and read it over and over again. The main characters in the novel, such as Daji, Jiang Ziya, Nezha, Yang Jian, etc., left a deep impression on him.
Xie Mingzhe carefully searched his memory.
His favorite character in the Investiture of the Gods is the Third Prince Nezha. He remembers that Nezha’s master was Taiyi Zhenren, who used lotus to reshape Nezha’s body, taught Nezha the magic of “three heads and six arms”, and gave him many powerful magic weapons such as the Universe Circle, the Chaos Ribbon, the Wind Fire Wheel, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, etc.
If you are designing the skill effect of "Sealing Divine Card", then "Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover" is undoubtedly a very suitable magic weapon!
According to the description in the original book, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Hood is extremely powerful. When used as a magic weapon, it can completely cover the enemy from head to toe. Flames rise inside the hood, and nine fire dragons are circling around. The fire dragons spew out Samadhi True Fire from their mouths, which can burn the people inside into ashes.
According to the principle of the five elements, fire overcomes metal, and flames can melt metal.
Many of the god cards in the Temple of the Gods are gold cards, so using fire magic weapons to seal gold god cards makes sense in theory. Gods, of course, won't be burned to ashes casually, but using the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to seal them and make them lose their ability to move is at least okay, right?
Xie Mingzhe thought of this and decided to draw Taiyi Zhenren on the next card.
It would be a waste to make Nezha into an instant death card, so let his master, Taiyi Zhenren, use this magic weapon for sealing.
