Xie Mingzhe left the guild's affairs to others and returned to his personal space to think about how to make the card.
Xie Mingzhe learned a lot from reading Lin Shen's notes this afternoon. He wanted to make a fire card for group attack. According to the official card data range, the card that can achieve the highest group attack damage is the fire card.
When it comes to fire, he immediately thinks of Zhou Yu from the Three Kingdoms period.
In the Battle of Red Cliffs, the alliance between Sun and Liu defeated Cao's army, and Jiangdong Governor Zhou Yu burned hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops, thus establishing the situation of three-way division of the country. This was Zhou Yu's famous battle, and it is also one of the most famous battles in history where a small force defeated a large one. The key element used in this battle was "fire".
Zhou Yu was highly regarded in history, but unfortunately he died young. Su Shi wrote in his poem "Nian Nujiao: Reminiscence of the Past at Chibi" which commemorated the Battle of Chibi: "Thinking back to the days of Gongjin, when Xiao Qiao was just married, he was in great shape and in high spirits. Wearing a feather fan and a silk scarf, he talked and laughed, and the masts and oars were reduced to ashes and smoke." It can be seen that Zhou Yu at that time was a talented and handsome male god.
Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and decided to paint Zhou Yu as a general who commanded a great war.
Elements such as armor and battle robes make Zhou Yu more heroic, but he is not just a reckless general. As the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong, he is very talented. He usually plays the piano and reads books with Xiao Qiao. He is a famous handsome man in history.
After thinking of Zhou Yu's image, Xie Mingzhe used his mental power to connect to the card-making system and tried to make a Zhou Yu card.
He was not very confident about making the dungeon card for the first time, so he used the first-level nebula paper worth 7 gold coins very sparingly, and tried it first. If it was successful, he would change to higher-level paper.
The card image was quickly drawn and the skills were set. Xie Mingzhe connected to the database and waited patiently for the review. Five minutes later, he heard the system prompt: "Sorry, the card review failed. The skills are repeated."
Xie Mingzhe glanced at the skill he had set, which was a fire-type group attack damage within a range of 20 meters in front of him. This skill could easily collide with other cards.
So he modified the description and continued the review.
However, during the card-making process, Xie Mingzhe encountered unprecedented troubles.
Sorry, the card review failed because the skills are duplicated.
Sorry, the card review failed. Please modify the skill description.
Feel sorry……
After being rejected ten times in a row, Xie Mingzhe finally realized why Lin Shen said, "The simpler something is, the harder it is to innovate."
Fire group attack card is the most common copy card in the game.
In the database, various fire-based group attack skills have already become rampant. The "fire damage within a 20-meter range" he set at the beginning was ruthlessly rejected by the system and changed to "straight fire damage", "fan-shaped fire damage", "fire damage within a specified range" - all of them were rejected!
It was too easy to make instant death cards at that time, which gave him the illusion that "making cards is easy".
In fact, he just got lucky and happened to be in time for the instant death card to be added to the database. Since there are very few instant death skills, it is easier for his card to pass the review. But once it leaves the instant death card database, it will be difficult to make other copy cards or battle cards.
Innovation... How should we innovate fire-type group attack skills?
Xie Mingzhe had a splitting headache. After failing to shred 20 sheets of nebula paper in a row, he decided to calm down and go offline to look for inspiration.
Chen Xiao also went offline, but he was diligently tidying up his bedroom on the second floor.
Xie Mingzhe went upstairs and saw him tidying up the empty master bedroom. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, are you tidying up this room because you want to invite your brother back to live with you?"
Chen Xiao's eyes were full of smiles, and he looked very happy: "It's not a bad idea to clean up in advance, maybe he'll be willing to come back and live here? I've kept my brother's room the same as it was, and all the furnishings haven't been moved." He made the bed himself, turned around and looked at Xie Mingzhe and asked, "How's your copy card going?"
Xie Mingzhe said with a bitter face: "I have thought of the character, but the skill design has been rejected by the system, saying it is repeated."
Chen Xiao walked over and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, the database already has a large number of group attack skills, and it's not easy for you to innovate. I'll teach you a little trick - dual-skill cards will be easier to pass than single-skill cards."
Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "How is this calculated?"
Chen Xiao explained: "The database determines the cards by comparing them. For example, if one card has the dual skills of 'Water Group Attack' and 'Group Slowdown', and the other card has the dual skills of 'Water Group Attack' and 'Group Freeze', strictly speaking, these are not duplicate cards because they have different functions and the system allows you to pass the level. But the key is that there are only so many control and group attack skills in the game, and all kinds of combinations have been used up. If you want to come up with a completely new combination plan, this is the real difficulty."
Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized. All the cards he had made before were single-skill cards, and he had never made dual-skill cards. When reviewing the database, it would search for duplicate cards. The probability of a card with a dual-skill combination colliding with another card is naturally lower than that of a card with a single skill.
But even so, it is not that easy to create a new combination skill. Moreover, the five elements cannot be randomly matched. A card with fire group attack + water freezing control will not be approved.
Under the premise of following the basic rules of the five-series deck, it is difficult to come up with new ideas...
Xie Mingzhe lowered his head in thought.
He kept thinking about how to make this copy card, but no good idea came to him until he went to bed at night.
He had no choice but to go back to his old job and draw some instant death cards that he had made before and put them in the store to sell tomorrow. The store couldn't be left empty.
He had been so successful in making instant death cards before that he only had a vague understanding of the card making rules of this game. Lin Shen's notes gave him a lot of inspiration, but he had to start with the simplest copy card to innovate, which was difficult for him.
Don't be impatient, you need to think about it carefully.
***
Late at night, Xie Mingzhe walked to the balcony and stared at a pot of green onion on the wall in a trance.
Perhaps because it had been grown for too many years, the mung bean grew particularly vigorously. After hanging from the wall to the ground, it crawled all the way along the ground, circled the balcony, and finally stopped at the window curtain. It began to climb up again, crawled around the roof, and decorated the entire balcony with green, which made people feel happy just by looking at it.
Chen Xiao took good care of the plants left by his brother. This green lotus is almost becoming a spirit!
As he watched, Xie Mingzhe suddenly had an idea in his mind -
By the way, if a fire encounters this kind of plant, can it burn along the branches?
The wood-based team dungeon "Night Forest" that they had a hard time playing in the past also had a lot of these vines. Xie Mingzhe was tied up by vines every few steps, and he was tied up several times in one dungeon. I remember that at that time, Brother Chen arranged for him to use the freezing skill of "Ice Goddess" to control the vines. After the vines were frozen, they would temporarily lose the ability to move. Everyone took this opportunity to quickly bypass the vine array and go to the front to kill the tree monsters.
But what if we don't go around it? Wouldn't these vines be a perfect way to conduct the fire?
The key to the success of the Battle of Red Cliffs was that Cao Cao's troops were unfamiliar with naval warfare and tied all the boats together, so Zhou Yu was able to use wind and fire attacks to burn most of the hundreds of thousands of troops at one time.
——The fuse!
——The key to a vigorous fire is conduction.
Designing a fire skill that can be transmitted may recreate the spectacular scene of burning Cao's warships during the Battle of Red Cliffs!
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe immediately ran downstairs excitedly, rushed to his seat and put on his helmet.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, but Xie Mingzhe was in high spirits. He quickly logged into the game and connected his mental power to the card making system. As his mental power was gradually injected into the nebula paper, the characters on the paper became clearer and clearer.
The man was wearing a handsome suit of armor, with his cape fluttering behind him. He was a young general with a handsome face and a firm and sharp gaze. He straightened his back and looked into the distance with a smile on his lips, commanding this epic battle calmly and confidently.
"Congratulations, the card is ready. Please connect to the database to review your card..."
A familiar voice sounded, and Xie Mingzhe immediately connected to the database audit card. He prayed that he would pass the audit this time, but he must not hear the word "sorry" again. He had been hearing the system say "sorry" all afternoon today, and his head was broken!
Three minutes...
Five minutes...
Ten minutes later, I finally heard a "ding dong" sound in my ear, and a familiar and friendly voice said, "Congratulations, the card has passed the review!"
Xie Mingzhe almost wanted to cry - this voice was truly heavenly!
He had always finished making instant death cards within half an hour before, but for Zhou Yu's card, he pondered over it for a full eight hours.
I started thinking about it at six in the evening and continued until two in the morning.
My head was about to explode when I finally came up with a good idea.
Xie Mingzhe's fingers trembled slightly. He carefully took the card from the console and looked at the data on the card.
Zhou Yu (Fire)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 500, Attack 300, Defense 150, Agility 10, Crit 10%
Additional Skill: Chain Link (Use flammable chains to link together enemy targets within 20 meters in front; cooldown time 10 seconds)
Additional Skills: Fire Chibi (Causes 100% group fire damage to enemy targets within a 20-meter range in front. If the attacked target is connected to other targets in any way, the fire damage will continue to be transmitted. The transmitted damage increases with the increase in targets, up to 130%; cooldown time 45 seconds)
Very, very long skill description.
The review just now took so long, obviously the intelligent database was helping him to check some details of the data, such as the cooling-off time added at the end.
The skills of dungeon cards and battle cards have a cooldown time limit, which means that after a wave of skills is released, you can release another wave after the cooldown ends. As long as you protect this card, the skills can be used repeatedly. Daiyu Burying Flowers and Cao Chong Weighing an Elephant are function cards that can be used once and cannot be reused, so they do not have the attribute of "cooldown time".
Chain Link only links the target and does not cause damage, so the cooldown time is very short and can be used again in 10 seconds.
Fire Burns Red Cliff, the group attack damage is relatively high, and it burns more and more vigorously after being transmitted. The cooling time is also very long, 45 seconds.
Taken individually, neither of these two skills seems particularly powerful.
But this is just a Zhou Yu card.
What if you put five or more Zhou Yu cards together?
If everyone works together to "chain together", they can instantly connect all the monsters in the arena!
If you start "Fire Burning Chibi" right after, the fire can be transmitted over a large area, burning more and more vigorously, perhaps achieving the effect of killing everyone in an instant!
Xie Mingzhe's heartbeat quickened.
He succeeded, he created an original fire-type dual-skill copy card!
I wonder if this card will be considered acceptable if I show it to Master Lin?
