After Xie Mingzhe finished making the three cards of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he also finished writing the card encyclopedia, which roughly introduced the story of the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei swearing brotherhood in Taoyuan. He then gave the encyclopedia to Chi Yingying for revision and polishing.
After doing all this, it was already 12:30 in the afternoon and Chi Qing was calling everyone to eat.
Xie Mingzhe took off his helmet and prepared to have lunch, just as Chen Xiao and Chen Qianlin came back together.
Chen Xiao's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he was obviously in a very good mood. He walked into the living room with a large suitcase in his hand and introduced everyone in a loud voice: "This is my brother Chen Qianlin. Xiao Xie has greeted you, right? He moved back today."
Everyone immediately walked over and said, "Hello, Master Lin!"
The man standing next to Chen Xiao had a very special temperament. His tall figure of over 1.8 meters was comparable to that of a model. He had a pair of light-colored eyes, which were as crystal clear as gemstones and looked very cold. The color of his lips was also light, a very natural light pink color, and with his fair skin, they were almost transparent under the sunlight.
The man said politely: "Hello, I am Chen Qianlin."
Chi Yingying actively extended her hand and shook his with a sweet smile: "Master Lin, my name is Chi Yingying, and I used to be your loyal fan! Let me introduce you, this is my sister Chi Qing, the general president of the Nirvana Guild; this is Pang Yu, we all call him Xiaopang, and Brother Jin's full name is Jin Yue, they are in charge of the guild's internal affairs. I am in charge of the guild's publicity and recruitment."
Chen Qianlin nodded and looked at Chen Xiao: "The guild is fully staffed. Have you been preparing for a long time?"
Chen Xiao's ears turned slightly red. He coughed lightly and said, "I started preparing the year I graduated from college. These people are all permanent members of the studio after careful selection. Xiao Xie was an accident. He was a temporary employee I hired."
Xie Mingzhe agreed, "Yes, I bumped into it by accident. Sister Yingying took a month's wedding leave, and I happened to see Brother Chen's advertisement for recruiting temporary employees. If it weren't for this coincidence, I wouldn't have come into contact with the Star Card Game so quickly."
Chen Xiao looked at him and joked, "I originally thought you were just here to make up the numbers, but I didn't expect you to become our main force and a big celebrity in the game, Fatty."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this ID. Xie Mingzhe also smiled shamelessly and looked up at his master: "Master will live with everyone in the future, so it will be convenient for us to chat! I just happen to have a few questions I want to ask..."
Chi Qing said: "I have prepared lunch for Master Lin. Let's eat first. It won't be too late to talk after dinner."
Chen Xiao took his brother upstairs to put their luggage first.
This house originally belonged to Chen Qianlin. After he left, Chen Xiao transformed the living room into a game room, and the several guest rooms upstairs became bedrooms for the studio partners. Although the furniture has changed a lot, the decoration of the house has not changed at all, and there is a familiar atmosphere everywhere.
When Chen Qianlin walked to the balcony and saw the succulents, he was stunned for a moment.
He has been away for five years, but not a single plant on the balcony has died. Instead, they have grown more and more vigorously. The originally single-headed succulents have sprouted side shoots that have filled the pots. The green leeks hanging on the walls have been hanging down to the ground and climbing up along the walls, growing lush and green, turning the entire balcony into a green garden.
Chen Qianlin was in a mixed mood and looked back at Chen Xiao: "You took good care of them."
Chen Xiao's eyes were filled with tears. He sniffed hard to resist the urge to cry. He said in a low voice, "These plants are your favorites. I looked up some tips and watered them and exposed them to the sun on time. I hope that one day when you come back, you will feel close to them when you see them."
Chen Qianlin: “…”
Looking back at his brother's red eyes, Chen Qianlin sighed in his heart, reached out his hand, and gently rubbed Chen Xiao's hair like he did when he was a child. His calm voice contained a hint of brotherly gentleness: "You... your temper is still as stubborn as before."
Chen Xiao froze suddenly. His brother's hand was rubbing his head? Was he hallucinating?
It was not until Chen Qianlin turned around and went into the house that Chen Xiao came back to his senses, with a hint of ecstasy in his eyes. Did his brother rub him like he did when he was a child? It was really not an illusion! Chen Xiao smiled foolishly and scratched the back of his head. He controlled his excitement and walked into the bedroom and said, "Brother, I haven't touched the furnishings in your bedroom. I just washed the sheets and quilts a few days ago. They are all very clean!"
Facing his brother's flattering eyes, Chen Qianlin's heart softened slightly, and he said gently: "I understand, I will stay here, and I will be the coach of Nirvana Club in the future to help you and Xiao Xie improve together."
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Great!"

Downstairs, Chi Qing had quickly put the food on the table. Knowing that Lin Shen would be coming today, she went to the supermarket and bought a lot of fresh vegetables and meat. Today's lunch was several times richer than usual.
Chen Xiao and Chen Qianlin quickly went downstairs and took their seats. Everyone chatted while eating.
Xiao Pang usually talks a lot, but today with the great god present, he didn't dare to say much and just ate his meal. The others were the same, only Chi Yingying was not shy, and seeing her idol, she happily chatted with Chen Qianlin.
Chi Yingying asked: "Does Master Lin plan to come back to play in the competition?"
Chen Qianlin said: "No, I am an advisor to Xiao Xie and Chen Xiao behind the scenes, so I can be considered a coach."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Xie Mingzhe, who knew the reason, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "That's good! Master's status and strength don't need to be proven through competitions. Master has long been the founder of the Wood School, so the identity of a coach is more suitable! Come, welcome Master to move back home, let's toast to Master."
He quickly changed the subject. Chi Qing understood and raised the glass of red wine. Others followed suit and did not bring up the subject again.
After lunch, Chen Xiao pulled Xie Mingzhe aside and asked, "Do you know why my brother didn't come back to compete?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "My senior brother told me that Master is very powerful. If he were to fight against the two disciples after returning, it would be very embarrassing regardless of whether he wins or loses. Besides, Master is not someone who is obsessed with the trophy. He probably doesn't want to show up in front of reporters again."
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly: "He is willing to be a coach. He will definitely be able to help us if we encounter problems in future games. Let's all focus on training. We don't have much time left."
Xie Mingzhe nodded seriously: "I understand!"
***
Chen Xiao installed a smart rotating seat and a matching helmet next to himself and left it for Chen Qianlin.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone put on their helmets and entered the game.
Chen Qianlin sent a private message to Xie Mingzhe: "You just said you wanted to ask me a question? Do you have any doubts?"
Xie Mingzhe said, "Master, please go ahead and do your work. I still have a few cards I want to make. I'll show them to you when I'm done!"
Chen Qianlin sent two words: "OK."
While taking a break at noon, Xie Mingzhe had already figured out what card to make next.
Having already made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he might as well make all the Five Tiger Generals of Shu and all kinds of gold-type single attack cards. In the future, his deck will never be short of single attack cards.
The Five Tiger Generals are the five most famous generals of the Shu Kingdom: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.
Each of them is a powerful character who can defeat a hundred enemies with one on the battlefield, and each of them has a legendary story.
Xie Mingzhe decided to start with the veteran general Huang Zhong, whose character image and skills were easier to design.
Huang Zhong was nearly sixty years old, but he was invincible and had great archery skills. At that time, he and Han Xuan were stationed in Changsha. Liu Bei led his army to attack Changsha. Huang Zhong and Guan Yu fought fiercely, and it was difficult to tell who would win. However, Huang Zhong was old and Guan Yu was with his troops, so they were defeated in the end. Guan Yu admired the bravery of this old general and could not bear to kill him, so he let him go. The next day, Huang Zhong tricked Guan Yu and could have captured him, but he was moved by Guan Yu's kindness and could not bear to shoot him to death, so he only shot off Guan Yu's helmet with his bow and arrow.
The two of them openly fought on the battlefield, and the Changsha governor Han Xuan was not blind. Of course, he suspected that Huang Zhong had two hearts and would betray him. He wanted to behead Huang Zhong on this ground. Fortunately, Wei Yan ran to rob the execution ground and killed Han Xuan. Huang Zhong thought Liu Bei was a reliable lord, so he surrendered to Liu Bei and became a fierce general under Liu Bei, making countless military exploits.
Huang Zhong was able to fight Guan Yu to a draw at the age of 60, which shows how brave he was. Later generations also regarded him as a synonym for "old but strong". He had two weapons, one was a sword and the other was a bow and arrow. It is said that his arrows could hit the target every time.
Xie Mingzhe thought, since the old general Huang Zhong could shoot Guan Yu's helmet from a distance of 100 meters, and had the skill of "piercing the willow at a hundred steps", he should make his weapon into a bow and arrow. High single-target damage, the damage amount is calculated as a percentage, shooting squishy targets does not count, shooting meat shields is especially cool!
Another skill can be named "Old but Still Strong", which enhances Huang Zhong's defense and prevents him from being killed instantly as soon as he appears on the field.
The image of Huang Zhong's character was quickly formed in Xie Mingzhe's mind. He was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, eyebrows and beard. However, there was no sign of fatigue on his face. Instead, his eyes were bright and he looked energetic!
The old man was wearing armor and holding a bow and arrow - unlike Sun Shangxiang's flaming arrows, Huang Zhong's arrow tips were made of sharp metal and caused considerable single-target gold damage.
After completing all the settings, Xie Mingzhe used his mental power to connect to the card making system and began to draw the Huang Zhong card.
The Huang Zhong card is relatively simple, mainly because the bow and arrow are easy to draw. Xie Mingzhe has already drawn Sun Shangxiang's bow and arrow before, so there is no need to separate the weapons and he can draw it all in one go.
As for Huang Zhong's mount, it is said to be called "Liaoyuanhuo", a dark red horse. Xie Mingzhe changed the design of the saddle to avoid duplication with Liu Guanzhang's mount. The Shu cavalry should ride uniformly, so that they look more handsome when they go on the field in a neat line.
This time, it took Xie Mingzhe 20 minutes to draw Huang Zhong's initial card.
Huang Zhong (Gold)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 200, Attack 500, Defense 150, Agility 20, Crit 20%
Additional Skills: Arrows Never Miss (Huang Zhong shoots the sharp arrow in his hand, locking the designated target within a range of 30 meters. If the arrow hits the opponent, it will cause single-target gold damage equal to 50% of the opponent's basic health; cooldown time is 30 seconds)
Additional Skill: Stronger with Age (Passive skill. Although Huang Zhong is nearly 60 years old, he is still strong. All damage he receives is reduced by 50%)
Sharp arrows can be shot at the opponent's tank-type cards with extremely high health, and can take away 50% of the health at once. The card itself has 50% damage reduction, so it is not so easy to be killed instantly, ensuring that you can use skills as soon as you appear on the field.
The Huang Zhong card is absolutely useful when dealing with high-health earth-based decks. For example, Lao Zheng’s white elephant has 200,000 health points. Huang Zhong’s skill is to deduct health points at a rate of 50%. One arrow can directly shoot off 100,000 health points. It can be said to be quite powerful!
Of the Five Tiger Generals, only Ma Chao and Zhao Yun are missing!
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and concentrated on thinking about the skills of the other two people.
