Tian Du City.
The Card Creators Association.
The Card Creators who had been busy over the past few days had finally returned to their association. Looking pale, each of them had wobbly legs. They even felt somewhat dazed when they saw the main entrance of their association.
Only god knew what they had been through during the past few days...
Three days!
A total of three days!
There were only lines, lines and lines in their eyes!
Everything was done for the sake of efficiency!
That bastard called Li Ergou from the Sword Card Master Association was too much. He stopped their supply of water and said that drinking less water would reduce their toilet trips.
What kind of demon was he?!
The most terrifying thing was... A lady with near-to-perfect looks and an almost perfect figure had been hopping around and cheering them on. They heard that she was a Sword Card Master cheerleader.
Damn!
Was there such a vocation?!
Did they know that this would only add stress for people of their age?
“Welcome back.”
The president of the Card Creators Association received them happily. “Did you guys learn anything at the Sword Card Master Association? Is there anything that left a deep impression on you?”
“Uh...”
The Card Creators were in deep thoughts.
Impression...
“Bai [1. Bai means fair or white in Chinese],” one of the Card Creators responded instinctively.
“Oh?”
“Are you talking about that lady called Xiaobai?”
The president sighed. “I heard about her. I didn’t expect a twelve-year-old girl to be that aggressive and domineering. Lu Ming’s subordinates are not ordinary.
“Is there anything else?”
The president was looking forward to hearing from them.
This was an exchange programme of advanced learning!
“Huge?”
A Card Creator said dazedly.
“Oh?”
The president pondered for a moment. “Are you saying that their association is very huge? We don’t have a choice. Although our association doesn’t lack money, the headquarters certainly won’t approve of us buying buildings in first-tier cities like Tian Du City. It’s too extravagant.
“Forget it.
“Come in.”
The president sighed.
He suddenly lost his interest at the mention of the size of the association.
So, the Card Creators were back.
Of course, only the Card Creators amongst their group came to their senses dazedly. They kew that they were not referring to those things when they said ‘huge’ and ‘fair’?
...
At that very moment...
The Sword Card Master Association was filled with joy after the departure of the Summoner big shots.
Everyone’s ability had improved. Most importantly, that morning, they had received news of Salted Crispy Chicken, who had been competing in matches all over the world.
Second Senior Brother had clinched the championship of the Grand Tournament for Gifted Teens!
According to sources, the initial champion-to-be, a Summoner who participated in the match, simply gave up and ran away upon hearing that Salted Crispy Chicken was a Sword Card Master.
Lu Ming and the group did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The Summoner situation had fully come to a close.
Lu Ming glanced at his few cards satisfactorily. The research of those few cards had progressed more than 95%. He would be able to complete his research very soon!
Snort! Snort!
By that time...
Top-notch six-star Bull Card series!
Top-notch six-star Carry Card series!
Top-notch six-star Summoner Card series!
If he could create them, he believed that his combat ability would be comparable with that of a true peak six-star, including super geniuses such as Salted Crispy Duck (Yan Suya)!
Suddenly...
Lu Ming’s heart was stirring.
Unknowingly, he had already reached this stage!
Seventeen years old!
Peak six-star combat power!
“I... have actually reached this stage!”
Lu Ming was in a daze.
“Can’t you talk about this after you create those cards?”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt ridiculous.
Although the research progress of these few cards has already reached 95%, that was due to the help of countless Card Creators. You also have to spend quite some time researching the remaining five percent!
Furthermore...
There are some uncertainties about the functions of the new cards.
If it is a card with a similar function as the Elimination Card, it could be very amazing at certain times but quite useless most of the time?
Lu Ming shoved this guy into the card bag calmly.
“Damn it! You’re too talkative!
“Forget it.”
He could not be bothered with it.
Lu Ming focused his attention on the cards. He eventually decided to start from the Summon Card series!
The reason was—
It had the greatest possibility of increasing his combat ability!
The Demolition Card series... No, more precisely, the five-star card of the Bull Card series was Will-O-Wisp Card. It could nourish the birth of bull spirit bodies and was very strange. If it was a six-star card...
What kind of bull would it be?
What would be its function?
He did not dare to think about or try it.
What about the Carry Card series?
The five-star card was the Mover Card. From carrying a person with the cloud shuttle to moving a building, this card series seemed to be becoming increasingly similar to the Demolition Card series.
Lu Ming had discovered that all the cards were good at destruction despite the series...
He did not know the reason.
Anyway, there was no hurry.
As such...
The Summon Card series was the most suitable one!
This card had constituted Lu Ming’s main combat strength right from the beginning, be it the high combat ability of the Burial Mound Warrior, the stimulant effect of the Moonlight Card or the Sunlight Card’s group-targeted AOE (Area of effect)!
95%...
Lu Ming was full of anticipation.
What would be the six-star version of this card?
So...
Lu Ming began his research.
...
That afternoon.
Li Haoran suddenly entered the room with a grave and serious expression. “Master, I’ve already investigated the matter that you told me to. That ID “Utmost Righteousness” doesn’t belong to Xiao Yuntian.”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
It was not Xiao Yuntian?!
Besides that guy, he could not remember who he had offended?
Although it was very normal for someone as outstanding as him to incur the jealousy and wrath of others, for the situation to develop into revenge and killing...
Damn!
Am I already that outstanding?
“Who is it?”
Lu Ming’s voice was low.
“An ordinary cultivator.”
Li Haoran shook his head. “We have already arrested him. According to him, someone paid him to do that. He doesn’t know anything else.”
“Interesting.”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
He did the work on behalf of someone...
The mastermind specially found someone to do that?
It was not Xiao Yuntian? But the name...
Well...
Lu Ming pondered shortly and had an idea. “Let’s get someone to beat him up.”
“Huh?”
Li Haoran looked dumbstruck. “Beat who?”
“Xiao Yuntian.”
Lu Ming glanced at him. “He’s no longer a vice president, right? We’ll beat him up quietly. No one will pay attention to that.”
“Huh?”
Li Haoran scratched his head. “But the investigations did not point to him as the mastermind.”
“It doesn’t matter. They are not mutually exclusive.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly. “The investigation results did not point to him but beating him up is a separate matter. Get Ergou to do this.”
“It’s just as well.
“We can test Ergou’s recent research progress.”
Lu Ming smiled.
“Okay.”
Li Haoran left, feeling puzzled.
Why did he find Master’s logic strange?
Forget it.
The orders had already been given and he would execute them.
Right then...
Lu Ming watched Li Haoran leave and then took a glance at Xiao-Xiaojian. “Are you sure it’s Xiao Yuntian?”
“I suspect him,” Xiao-Xiaojian said honestly.
“Is your intuition accurate?”
Lu Ming was doubtful.
“It doesn’t work for some things.”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
Intuition...
It would come into a huge play during situations of life, death and danger. In normal circumstances, it relied on deductions and analysis most of the time.
“This doesn’t make sense.”
Lu Ming could not really figure it out. “Since he wants to hide his identity, why would he use the ID “Utmost Righteousness”?”
This ID would put him under a lot of suspicion?
“Perhaps...”
Xiao-Xiaojian pondered shortly. “He’s really wretched. He wants you to know clearly that it’s him but feel helpless because you don’t have any evidence?”
Lu Ming looked dumbstruck. “Damn! Is there such a person?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked at him, remaining silent.
Sigh.
People nowadays really don’t have any self-awareness...
It was true.
At the sight of Xiao-Xiaojian’s stare, Lu Ming came back to his senses and his face dimmed.
Damn!
Am I that kind of person?!
Xiao Yuntian did not seem like that kind of person!
He...
Just as Lu Ming was analyzing the situation, Li Haoran returned and then reported with a strange expression, “Master, Xiao Yuntian came to our association.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
After a long while...
They walked to the square and saw Xiao Yuntian.
At this moment, Xiao Yuntian turned on his live streaming device and was in the midst of introducing the Sword Card Master Association to his friends. “Everyone, look, this are the headquarters of the Sword Card Master Association...
“Here...
“There...” Xiao Yuntian said.
But...
He looked like a tourist who had come to visit the Sword Card Master Association because it was famous. Therefore, Li Haoran did not chase him out.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
They had figured him out.
True enough, he was very wretched!
“It must be him,” Lu Ming sneered.
“Look, I was right.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very sure of its abilities.
Even if they were not based on intuition, its deductions were also very accurate!
A man and a card looked at Xiao Yuntian.
Xiao Yuntian looked the same as before. However, he was in high spirits at this moment and even had a strange look on his face when he glanced at Lu Ming.
“The President’s body is very strong,” he said, as if he were implying something.
Lu Ming squinted.
Heh.
He was more arrogant than he had imagined!
He had failed at assassinating him. Now that he discovered that he was still alive, he came knocking on his doors to provoke and even mock him. The people nowadays were really... complacent.
“Look!
“I was right!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was excited. “Hahahaha! This guy is a wretched one! Haha, he is challenging you directly! Hahaha! I finally met someone as wretched as you!”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao Yuntian did not stay for long.
Similar to those people who came to tour at the Sword Card Master Association, he left after a short walk. However, that expression and attitude...
Snort! Snort!
It was very annoying!
Xiao Yuntian felt very smug.
As a Card Creator internet celebrity, though he was no longer carrying the vice president title, he could still rely on live streaming to earn money!
How could he boost his popularity?
He would slap his own face!
Everyone loved to watch this!
What were the netizens interested in?
Lu Ming!
The conflict between the two!
Snort! Snort!
Did you think I’d live miserably after I was stripped of the title of the vice president?
This was impossible!
He specially walked to this place to let Lu Ming know that he still looked dashing and radiant even though he was no longer a vice president!
Snort! Snort!
I love to see you guys looking helpless when you clearly want to chase me out of the place!
This was what he thought.
Right then...
He was filled with joy when he was rewarded with rockets in the live streaming studio.
Afterward...
After he left the association and reached a corner, he was beaten up. He was covered in a sack and the live streaming screen went black. There were only miserable cries resonating in the darkness...
That afternoon.
Xiao Yuntian was lying in the hospital.
...
“This is too much!”
Xiao Yuntian was trembling with anger.
In broad daylight!
In a peaceful era with political stability!
They actually attacked me!
Are there any laws?!
And...
The other party was very skillful. Obviously, this was not his first time! The Sword Card Master Association was really too arrogant! They actually dared to take action outside their own entrance!
This situation was not over yet.
At least, Xiao Yuntian thought so.
Afterward...
He looked up and saw a familiar person lying on the hospital bed beside him.
Eh...
Isn’t this...?
“Heello.”
A certain person who had been beaten black and blue greeted him.
Xiao Yuntian took a closer look and saw the name on the headboard. That’s right. This was Zhang Yang, the head of the publicity department of the Sword Card Master Association.
“You... You’ve also been beaten up?”
Xiao Yuntian was appalled.
“Yees.”
Zhang Yang tried to speak as little as possible.
“Where?”
“Thee entance of thee associeasion.”
Xiao Yuntian was stunned.
This...
A head of department of the Sword Card Master Association had been beaten up at the association’s doorsteps?! Therefore, he might have misunderstood Lu Ming and the rest of them?!
“How did this happen?”
Xiao Yuntian was in disbelief.
“A toll tree catchees e wind.”
Zhang Yang sighed.
Xiao Yuntian was silent.
After pondering, he communicated with Zhang Yang via the screen of his communication device before finding out that he was referring to “A tall tree catches the wind”!
Simply put, the Sword Card Master Association was very popular and in the limelight recently. Countless people were jealous of it and would smear its reputation as much as possible.
Beaten up?
He was already used to it.
However...
What should he do?
Since he had decided to take this path, he would not give up.
He felt rather bored lying on the bed. There was no entertainment or adorable nurses or beautiful doctors to give them check ups.
As such...
Zhang Yang narrated the history and past of the Sword Card Master Association and Lu Ming to Xiao Yuntian. After a long time, Xiao Yuntian was astonished.
It turned out that...
The Sword Card Master Association was that amazing and he was that prejudiced toward this association!
Lu Ming...
That guy who looked very young had actually been through beasts tide, the collapse of Qing Ming City and various situations. He even saved that many people!
He was completely different from the image of a willful second-generation rich kid that he had had in mind!
At the thought of this, Xiao Yuntian felt very guilty.
With this sense of guilt, Xiao Yuntian and Zhang Yang had a very smooth and engaging conversation. In the end, when they completed treatment and were about to be discharged from hospital, Xiao Yuntian had already filled the application form to join the Sword Card Master Association...
...
At night.
The Sword Card Master Association.
After researching cards for an entire day, Lu Ming stared at the application form in front of him with a dumbstruck expression.
——
Name: Xiao Yuntian
Level: Peak six-star
Brief Introduction: He was once the vice president of Tian Du City’s Card Creators Association. He is a free-lancer currently and the most popular streamer. He is adept at creating conflicts and is applying to join the publicity department of the Sword Card Master Association.
...
——
Lu Ming was spooked.
It was true.
Xiao Yuntian?!
He applied to join the association?!
Damn it! Are you kidding me?
“Are you serious?”
Lu Ming glanced at Li Haoran, who was standing before him.
“Yes.”
Li Haoran smiled bitterly. “I was also very surprised. However, Zhang Yang is the one who recommended him. I have no choice but to interview him. Xiao Yuntian has also been very cooperative. Afterward...”
Speaking of this.
Li Haoran’s expression looked odd. “With Xiao Yuntian’s cooperation, we discovered that that ID really doesn’t have anything to do with him.”
Lu Ming broke out in cold sweat. “Why did he come here earlier then?”
“He said he came here specially to anger you because of what happened previously.”
Li Haoran smiled bitterly.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
The mastermind was not Xiao Yuntian?
He had come there arrogantly today because he was purely... wretched!!!
Damn! What kind of person was this?!
“Are there such kinds of people?”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
Xiao-Xiaojian stole a glance at Lu Ming.
“I will beat you to death if you continue this stare.”
Lu Ming said coldly, “I have not settled my scores with you for the wrong deductions!”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt very aggrieved.
How would it know that there were that many wretched people in this world! It always thought that Lu Ming was already at the peak level of the wretched population.
“This is based on Xiao Yuntian’s accounts.”
Li Haoran smiled bitterly, “He is holding a part-time live streamer job and the netizens love plots with conflicts. Therefore, he often creates conflict.
“For example—
“That time with you.
“Another example is his trip today.
“According to him, he received 31 arrows, 13 ships and an unknown number of pink energy lollipops from these two conflicts.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
The rest was history.
There were many such incidents in his past life as well. For the sake of filming Tik tok videos, some people tread on a path of no return to gain popularity...
Some brain damaged commoners of the disaster area filmed earthquakes, storms and all kinds of things. After banning them, another group appeared.
Of course.
These were extreme kinds who deserved it.
Besides this, there was another group who deserved it. For example, someone simply stripped during a live streaming...
It was true.
Lu Ming remembered this very clearly.
In a certain live streaming, a girl clad in a red Lolita dress suddenly began to have fewer and fewer clothes on her...
He had thought that the video card he had just bought was not working.
He had had the fright of his life!
Fortunately...
After confirming that the video card was fine, his innocent and pure-minded self had exited the live stream and reported it.
Anyway, those kinds of things were not uncommon.
Lu Ming was long used to it.
However, he did not expect this world and era to have also reached this stage! A dignified six-star Card Creator had also begun live streaming!!!
What could he say?
Outstanding!
He stirred up trouble everyday to create conflicts.
Look!
He even implicated himself!
“Well...”
Xiao-Xiaojian said softly, “I understand the logic. However, I remember that he was imprisoned because he took the blame for you...”
“Shut up!
“Whose side are you on?!
“Also...
“If he didn’t provoke me and look for trouble, would those things have happened?”
Lu Ming’s voice was low.
Xiao-Xiaojian recalled the scene at The First Academy and said seriously, “Yes, they would have happened.”
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
A—alright.
Since the misunderstanding had been cleared...
Judging from the situation...
This really did not seem to have anything to do with Xiao Yuntian...
It was no wonder that that Elimination Card...
Lu Ming flipped the pages of the application in front of him, pondering shortly. Since Zhang Yang was the one heading the publicity department, there should not be a problem?
Well...
Lu Ming made the decision and approved it.
At this moment.
Xiao Yuntian officially joined the Sword Card Master Association!
...
Somewhere.
Zhou Yun, who was tidying up the name list, could not come to her senses after hearing this news. Master... He actually recruited Xiao Yuntian?!
Although she was not in the association for long, she had heard about Xiao Yuntian.
This man...
He is very evil.
This kind of person also submitted to Master?!
This...
She looked at the name list in her hands and the words “All that I see and know will become Sword Card Master” and was deep in her thoughts.
Perhaps...
My mind is not flexible enough?
Look at Master!
He is that big-hearted and open-minded!
This is the true “All that I see and know”!
Master can see the big picture and it is far beyond my imagination!
So...
She took out the names that she had previously eliminated and begun to review them again. She believed that she would definitely be able to come up with a name list that she was most satisfied with!
...
