Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 67: Jiang Cheng Gains Recognition

Translator: 549690339

Seeing that Lu Wang recognized the design of the talisman at a glance, Jiang Cheng was not surprised at all.

He smiled and said, “Senior Lu has sharp eyes indeed, my Animal Encouragement Talisman does indeed have some redundancy designed into it.”

Lu Wang: ???

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Lu Wang was completely baffled.

Others design with ten percent, maybe five percent redundancy. Your redundancy is something like seventy or eighty percent, right?

Lu Wang questioned, “Master Jiang, don’t you think the redundancy in your talisman is a bit too much?”

Jiang Cheng, quoting classics, replied, “As you said, senior, I didn’t intend to design so much redundancy at first. Initially, I only planned to make it like the Muscle Relaxation Talisman, with fifty percent redundancy.”

Lu Wang: …

Facing Jiang Cheng’s answer, Lu Wang was at a loss for words, mainly because there were too many points to criticize, and he didn’t even know where to begin.

Then he heard Jiang Cheng continue, “Later, through comparative experiments, I found that fifty percent redundancy was still not enough. The effect of the Animal Encouragement Talisman is too strong; it leads fishermen to catch too many fish, thus disrupting the ecological balance of the Wuyue rivers. The current strength is the ‘harmless value’ I selected after conducting field surveys. Fishermen can fish with confidence at this intensity without worrying about damaging the aquatic ecology.”

Having said this, Jiang Cheng took out the previously gathered data on the average catch of fishermen from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Wang as evidence of his choice of the “harmless value.”

Lu Wang opened Jiang Cheng’s data and started to carefully look through it.

Immediately after, Jiang Cheng took out his carefully preserved Memory Sphere and the Reusable Audio Talisman, and submitted them to Lu Wang as evidence of the evidence.

Then Jiang Cheng took out the taxi receipt from his ride to the research site, as evidence of the evidence of the evidence.

“These are the original materials I retained when researching the average fishing results, senior can confirm each one.”

Jiang Cheng’s series of moves left Lu Wang dumbfounded.

He had originally wanted to find a reason to delay the certification of Jiang Cheng’s talisman.

Now this young man had presented sound arguments, and he couldn’t even find a reason to postpone the certification of the new talisman.

Mainly, Lu Wang couldn’t understand how Jiang Cheng, who looked so young and was just a high school graduate, could be so meticulous that even deliberately scrutinizing, nobody could find the slightest issue!

However, Lu Wang, after all, was the president of a city’s Talisman Master Association and had been involved in talisman master management for many years. He pondered hard and finally found a flaw in Jiang Cheng’s work.

“Master Jiang, you see, with such a large redundancy in your talisman, what if it’s exploited by someone with ill intentions? How will you deal with that situation?”

Since Jiang Cheng submitted to Lu Wang a “One-Time Animal Encouragement Talisman,” Jiang Cheng confidently presented his final result.

Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman!

As well as the accompanying agreement, contract, and instruction manual when selling this talisman.

“Senior, rest assured, the issue you are concerned about, I already have a strategy in place. In fact, the final product I will be selling is not just an Animal Encouragement Talisman, but this ‘Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman.’ In our purchase agreement, I have made the following restrictive measures…”

After a lengthy explanation, Jiang Cheng flipped the instruction manual to the last page.

“In summary,” Jiang Cheng concluded, “it’s nearly impossible for my reusable talisman to be exploited illegally. You have no reason to worry about that.”

By now, Lu Wang had run out of rebuttals.

Jiang Cheng’s talisman was sensible, legal, and compliant, leaving him no choice but to pass the talisman certification.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng seemed to care even more about the safety of the talisman than he did as the president, creating over a dozen defensive measures for this purpose.

This was far more reliable than the previous Muscle Relaxation Talisman.

The earlier Muscle Relaxation Talisman had only caused a bit of trouble during the Academy tests. How could this Animal Encouragement Talisman pose more serious problems than that, if at all?

Impossible, what could go wrong with fishing?

Lu Wang nodded his head, accepting Jiang Cheng’s certification documents.

“In two days, once we’ve completed the procedures, your Animal Encouragement Talisman will be included in our association’s database.”

After the talisman was certified by the association, it could be used to find other Talisman Masters to “collaborate on drawing talismans.” Only in this way could the production issue of the Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman be solved.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, “That’s great, thank you for your efforts, Senior Lu.”

Lu Wang waved his hand and said, “Don’t get too excited yet. Although your Animal Encouragement Talisman is in compliance, your Reusable Talisman might not be. Reusable Talismans are classified as Magical Treasures, you understand that, right?”

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Lu Wang smiled knowingly and thought to himself: It’s not that I, Lu Wang, want to trap you, old Yu, but the item Jiang Cheng is making is indeed a Magical Treasure, which is precisely your area of expertise, isn’t it?

“Cough. This Reusable Talisman is also considered a new kind of Magical Treasure, so I suggest you better go to the Artifact Refiners Association for a reliability verification. Only then can you be completely assured, don’t you think?”

“Understood, I’ll head to the Artifact Refiners Association right away.” Jiang Cheng was very good at taking advice from his seniors.

“Safe travels, Master Jiang, and don’t hesitate to send me an audio talisman if you need anything,” said Lu Wang with a smile on his face as he saw Jiang Cheng off.

Then, he collapsed dispiritedly into his chair.

Phew! I thought this kid had caused some trouble again; it turns out he just made a little toy for fishing. You gave me quite a scare.

Across from the Artifact Refiners Association, there was a milk tea shop.

Jiang Cheng placed a glass of iced lemon water on Liu Qing’s table.

“Wait for me here. I have some business to attend to across the street at the association, and I’ll be back soon. Oh, by the way, the cashier mentioned they might have added too much lemon, so it could be a bit sour.”

“Mm-hmm,” Liu Qing nodded softly.

“So, I’ll be going then?” Jiang Cheng asked tentatively.

“Mhmm.”

Employee Liu Qing approved the itinerary of her boss, Jiang Cheng.

Once Jiang Cheng left the milk tea shop, Liu Qing sat alone next to a small table inside the place. She watched Jiang Cheng’s receding figure until he disappeared completely into the doors of the Artifact Refiners Association.

Undoubtedly, Liu Qing was the focal point of everyone’s attention within the milk tea shop. However, she seemed utterly indifferent to the amazed gazes of the milk tea shop employees or the surrounding customers when they looked at her.

In her eyes, there was only the glass of lemon water Jiang Cheng had queued up for to buy her.

Liu Qing first pushed her hair back, draping a few smooth, fine strands behind her ear. Then, she leaned down to sniff the scent of the lemon water and, finding it pleasant, she began to gently savor it, wrapping her lips lightly around the edge of the straw Jiang Cheng had placed for her.

Seeing Liu Qing’s series of actions, the milk tea shop employees were inwardly shaken: Holy shit! How can she drink a glass of lemon water with such grace!? What have I been drinking all this time? Is it the lemon water’s fault, or mine?

Liu Qing drew a forceful sip, and the cool lemon water slid into her mouth through the straw.

The lemon water repeatedly brushed against her taste buds as she savored this gift from a friend.

Liu Qing discovered that the lemon water wasn’t sour at all; it was actually pleasantly cool and sweet.

It was delicious.

She liked it very much.
