The shop closed at 12 noon, and Xie Mingzhe went back to his personal space after lunch to continue making cards. He had just made a few Daiyu cards when a message suddenly rang in his ear: "A voice message from my friend Canyang."

Xie Mingzhe clicked to listen, and heard Vice President Canyang say anxiously: "Hello, Uncle Fat! Our Nie Shen wants to discuss something with you. I wonder if you have time now? If it is convenient, please come to our guild. Nie Shen is waiting for you."

Xie Mingzhe replied: "If it's about joining the Judgment Club, forget it. Thank God Nie for me!"

Canyang said: "It's not about joining the club. Nie Shen said it's about the copyright of the card Wu Song."

Card copyright? Wasn't Wu Song's copyright transferred to the Judgement? Why did Nie Shen come to him again? Confused, Xie Mingzhe turned to the galaxy navigation map and was directly teleported to the Judgement Guild territory. Vice President Canyang came to the door to pick him up in person and took him all the way to the office.

Xie Mingzhe pushed the door open and saw two familiar garbled IDs - Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan's smurf accounts.

Shan Lan's voice was still as gentle as in his memory. He walked up to Xie Mingzhe and said with a smile, "Uncle Fatty, long time no see. I didn't expect that in just a few days, you could come up with nine instant death cards targeting all the major clubs. You're amazing."

"Thank you, Lord Lan." Xie Mingzhe asked bluntly, "You came to me because of some copyright issue?"

Nie Yuandao sat there without saying anything, and Shan Lan continued in a gentle tone: "It's like this, I said it before, Master bought the copyright of your Wu Song card not because he was afraid of this card, but because he wanted to get to know you and invite you to join the Judgment Club. Since you have now confirmed that you will not join the Judgment Club, Master wants to return the copyright of this card to you."

"..." Xie Mingzhe turned around and looked at Nie Yuandao, unable to believe that such a good thing would happen, "God Nie, are you kidding me?"

"I never joke." Nie Yuandao said in a low voice.

"Actually, there is another reason why Master gave the copyright back to you." Shan Lan explained with a smile, "Currently, most of the mainstream decks have been targeted by you, but Master's Beast deck has not been targeted yet, so the entire alliance is suspicious of my Master and thinks he is secretly guiding you. No one knows about the existence of the Wu Song card, and it is difficult for us to explain. I will return the Wu Song card to you, and you can put it up in the store to sell tomorrow, which can also indirectly clear Master's suspicion."

"..." Xie Mingzhe wanted to laugh. Poor Nie Shen, was he taking the blame for Tang Muzhou?

Nie Yuandao stood up from the sofa and handed a Wu Song card to Xie Mingzhe: "This is my revised version of Wu Song, take a look."

Xie Mingzhe took the card and looked at it carefully. It was indeed completely different from the Wu Song card he had made.

He remembered that the life, attack and defense of Wu Song were all around 300 points at the beginning. After Nie Shen got the copyright of the card, he modified the data of the card. Now Wu Song card, like other instant death cards, stacked the key attribute "agility" to 30. More importantly, the skill description was also modified by Nie Shen - from causing heavy damage to "tiger" cards to causing heavy damage to "beast" cards.

By changing just one word, the scope of the attack changes from targeting individual tigers to targeting all beasts.

Nie Yuandao obviously didn't know the story of "Wu Song fighting the tiger" and changed it according to his own understanding. He blurred the tiger in the card and changed it to the shadow of a group of beasts. The strong man punched the beast's head, making a judgment of instant death for the beast, and the system also approved it.

But why did he change the card to target himself?

Xie Mingzhe was a little confused: "Ni Shen, if you make this change, aren't you targeting your own deck?"

Nie Yuandao said calmly: "The concept of instant death was first proposed by Tang Muzhou, and I also agreed with it at the time. As a supporter of the promotion of instant death cards, how could I miss my own deck?"

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

The consciousness of the great gods is extraordinary.

Shan Lan glanced at his master and continued, "Uncle Fat, my master dared to release the instant death card against the beast, which shows that he is not afraid of the instant death judgment at all. The game changes rapidly in the field, and the instant death card can only kill one card in one second, and cannot completely affect the situation. I ask you to sell the Wu Song card to major clubs. In the future, when we go to the game, others will have cards against me and my master, and we will also have cards against others. This is fair."

The other party took the initiative to return the copyright, and Xie Mingzhe had no reason to refuse, so he simply asked, "What's the price for the copyright?"

Shan Lan said, "Let's still calculate it as 3 million gold coins."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned. "How can this be possible? The card I sold to you for 3 million was only for tigers. After Nie Shen modified it, this card can target the entire beast system. The scope has been expanded so much. Can the price remain the same?"

Shan Lan said gently, "It's okay. We're not returning the card to you for the purpose of making money. This card was originally your idea, and there's no point in us keeping it. You can sell it in your store, and it will just make up for the ten instant death cards."

The other party's attitude was so friendly that Xie Mingzhe didn't bother to argue anymore. He simply thanked him, traded 3 million game coins with Vice President Canyang face to face, and went to the Copyright Center to get back the copyright of Wu Song Card.

After returning to his apartment, Xie Mingzhe made a copy of Wu Song's revised card and gave it to Tang Muzhou: "God Tang, the card I told you to sell to God Nie is this one. He returned it to me today."

Tang Muzhou quickly replied: "It's wise for Lao Nie to do this. Even if he doesn't return the card to you, other clubs will immediately make a beast-type instant death card against him. It's better to give the credit to you. Moreover, the group has indeed suspected that he is working with you these days, so he can clear his suspicion this way."

Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Does no one suspect that you are working with me?"

Tang Muzhou's voice was filled with laughter: "I hid it very well. Don't tell anyone, or I'll be finished."

Xie Mingzhe: “…………”

Suddenly I wanted to tell everyone about it so that everyone can see the true face of this great god.

Xie Mingzhe chased away the unfriendly thoughts in his mind and changed the subject: "I have always regretted selling the copyright of Wu Song. Now it's good. All ten death cards are collected. It will be enough for me to sell for a while."

Tang Muzhou asked: "Has the Dark Night City looked for you?"

As he was talking, Xie Mingzhe heard a system notification: "You have a new email." He opened it and saw that it was from Dark Night City: "Hello, Fat Uncle, I am the president of Dark Night City Guild. If you have time, please come to our guild as a guest. Our Pei Shen and Xiao Zhu really want to meet you."

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Tang Muzhou is truly a prophet. As soon as he finished speaking, the other party came to him.

Xie Mingzhe said: "They just sent me an email. What do you think they want to do by contacting me?"

Tang Muzhou said: "Based on my guess, Mr. Pei will probably buy a card from you. He is a person who is very receptive to new things. Every time a new card is released, he will buy it and study it immediately."

Xie Mingzhe had learned a little about the situation of the Dark Night City when he was looking up information. It was the youngest of the six major clubs and was established in the seventh season, but it was developing very rapidly. Ye Zhu's butterfly cards and Pei Jingshan's insect cards were both very famous. Although their cards had low defense, they were light and agile, and had strong mobility. Since Ye Zhu had a very abnormal invisible tracking butterfly, the assassination ability of this duo ranked first in the entire alliance.

Tang Muzhou did not let Pei Jingshan make an instant death card to counter his Insect Card. The key point is that after the sudden death, the Insect Card will generally split and regenerate, and some cards can even release insect poison to counterattack the opponent. This is the same as the Deathrattle deck of the great Fang Yu, which is more restrained against instant death judgments.

Xie Mingzhe came to the galaxy navigation map, clicked on the newly appeared purple planet, and was teleported to the Dark Night City.

The buildings in the Dark Night City are all dark purple, and the roads are also paved with purple small crystals. The entire territory of the guild is a bit like a mysterious castle in a magical world. Xie Mingzhe followed the receptionist into the office and found that the design of their badge was very unique - a magical castle pattern, with the four big characters "Dark Night City" written on the top, and purple light effects surrounding the characters, full of mystery.

There were two people sitting in the office, both with system-generated appearances, obviously small accounts. One of the adult men stood up and said gently, "Hello, Fatty Uncle, my name is Pei Jingshan, and I'm a professional player from Dark Night City. This is Ye Zhu, a player who likes Butterfly Cards."

Xie Mingzhe asked directly: "What do you two want to talk to me about?"

Pei Jingshan said, "I want to reserve cards from you. After all, there are too many people waiting in your store. Even our president can't buy all the cards one by one, so I want to reserve directly from you. You should have completed the set of instant death cards by now, right? Sell me four sets first, and the price will be double that of your store. How about that?"

As expected, he bought the cards and went back to study them. It seems that Tang Shen knows this opponent very well.

Xie Mingzhe nodded readily: "No problem. However, four sets of cards are too much work. Can I give them to you tomorrow?"

Pei Jingshan said politely, "Thank you, Uncle Fatty."

Ye Zhu walked over to look at Xie Mingzhe and asked curiously, "Uncle Fat, who was it that revealed our deck to you? Was it Nie Shen?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "No one told me the decks of the masters. I looked up the information myself."

Ye Zhu looked at him suspiciously: "Really? I always think it's Nie Shen, otherwise how could his crow mouth be so accurate?"

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Poor God Nie, I will help you clear the suspicion tomorrow.

***

Xie Mingzhe returned to his personal apartment and calmed down to draw cards.

From the time he first started playing the game to now, he has made a total of 10 death cards, in order: Lin Daiyu, Wu Song, Xue Baochai, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Zhong Kui, Sha Seng, Cao Chong, Taishang Laojun and Taiyi Zhenren, targeting most of the mainstream decks in high-end leagues.

Now it has come to an end. These cards will keep him selling for a long time.

Xie Mingzhe started with Lin Daiyu, and he had to draw 10 cards for each of the 10 death cards, which added up to a total of 100 cards.

Even for a professional artist, drawing 100 cards in a row is exhausting. Fortunately, these cards were completed and recorded in the database. It was not difficult for him to concentrate on drawing, but it was a bit tiring.

It was already 10pm when he finished drawing. Xie Mingzhe took off his helmet and went to work with a splitting headache. He was rubbing his temples when Chen Xiao came over and said, "Just now I saw you close your eyes and concentrate. You must be making cards. I didn't disturb you. I saved a special portion of dinner for you. Come and eat."

Seeing the insulated lunch box in his hand, Xie Mingzhe felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Hungry Xie Mingzhe came to the restaurant with his lunch box and wolfed down a set meal.

Chen Xiao said: "Don't be too tired. You should be moderate when making cards. It's not good to overuse your brain."

Xie Mingzhe wiped his mouth and said, "I know. I won't make any new cards for now. I'll sell these instant-death cards to accumulate funds. You've all been helping me to collect materials these past few days. Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you all to a good meal tomorrow at noon."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's not that hard. Gathering materials is our daily work. But I'm not sure what you think yet. The day before yesterday, I saw a lot of territories of big guilds on the navigation map of your personal apartment. Those guilds came to you, probably to hire you as a designer, right?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Yes. But I didn't agree to it."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly: "Are you really determined to cooperate with us?"

Xie Mingzhe said, "That's what I thought. I'll count the store's revenue tonight, and we can have a good chat about it tomorrow at dinner."

When he came online again after dinner, Chi Qing chatted with him privately and sent him a list directly.

The list contained the sales records of each card, as well as the store's daily cash flow and the total revenue of the past few days. Chi Qing said, "Since you are too busy, I have sorted out the cash flow for you. I also sorted out the cash flow of the studio before, so I am more familiar with this."

Xie Mingzhe said: "Thank you, Sister Qing!"

He glanced at the list. The income from selling cards in the past few days alone reached 10 million game coins. Add in the batch of instant-death cards to be sold tomorrow and the four sets of instant-death cards that Pei Jingshan said he would pre-order at double the price. This week's income should easily exceed 20 million game coins.

In the past, he would never have dared to dream of having such a large amount of money.

But now, when he looked at these numbers, he was not satisfied.

Since meeting Tang Muzhou, he has learned a lot about the alliance and decks, and has also met many masters' trumpets. The awareness of those people is far beyond his current level. The rich and colorful cards, the fiercely competitive league, the wealthy clubs, the masters with different personalities... all attract him to continue exploring this world.

It is not enough to just know how to make instant death cards, and it is far from enough to just open a store and be the boss.

He wants to complete the entire character deck.

He wanted to set up his own club and introduce the brilliant Chinese civilization to people around the world.

The income from the ten instant-death cards could provide him with a comfortable life, but that was just the beginning.

Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and took out 10 million game coins from the store and put them in the Star Card Bank. A moment later, his phone started to be flooded with bank messages. The gold coins were successfully sold and exchanged for real money. The balance in his card increased from 300,000 at the beginning to 1.3 million now.

After all, he is a small millionaire now. It is not a dream for him to make tens of millions by selling for a few more days.

Xie Mingzhe looked at the balance in his card happily and said, "I'll treat everyone to lunch tomorrow at noon! Let's have a good meal!"

Pang Yu came over with a smile and said, "Xiao Xie, you've made a lot of money these days! I want to drool when I see the gold coins in your shop. With so much money, you have to treat us to a good meal. You can't just go to the street to eat a bowl of noodles." When talking about food, the fat man's eyes almost lit up.

Jin Yue patted Pang Yu's belly and said, "Xiao Pang is a carnivore. Since you are treating us, you must treat him to meat. Vegetarian dishes will not satisfy him."

Chen Xiao laughed and scolded: "Come on, you all act like you've never eaten meat. Xiao Xie has worked hard to earn this money. He draws so many cards every day that his head is about to explode. There's no need for us to waste money. Just eat whatever you want."

Xie Mingzhe waved his hands: "That won't do. I'll be the host tomorrow, and we can relax and discuss the next plan with everyone. I don't know much about the capital, but Brother Yu knows more about food, can you give me some suggestions?"

Pang Yu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "From what I know, the Imperial Hotel is the best rated hotel within a ten-kilometer radius. The price is not outrageous, the food is good, and the most important thing is that the environment is great and the interior decoration is very classy!"

Xie Mingzhe nodded readily: "Then let's go to the Imperial Hotel!"
