Master Of Trading Star Card Game

At the same time, Xie Mingzhe was sound asleep, lying on the bed.

He had a sweet dream where he made a number of the best character cards and became the most popular card maker in the World of Star Card. His cards were sold for high prices at the Auction House, countless people screaming excitedly around him. The screams in the auction were so deafening that he couldn't hear the exact words at first, but then he heard clearly –

Legend Chubby! Legend Chubby! Legend Chubby Legend Chubby Legend Chubby!

“…” Xie Mingzhe woke with a start.

He touched his skinny body, regretting that he gave himself the name “Uncle Chubby.” If he became famous in the future, would his fans call him “Legend Chubby” like in the dream?

Fortunately, there were also beautiful scenes in the dream, such as his cards being very popular.

He would work hard for this goal.

Now he had 300,000 in his account, so the salary he got for being a booster was nothing to him – he could quit the job, and then sell cards to get rich. But Xie Mingzhe didn't want to do this. In his toughest time, Brother Chen helped him, not to mention that since he signed the work contract, he should keep his word. At least this month, he would continue to work and wait for the girl who took marriage leave to come back.

Today was Sat.u.r.day, and all members in the studio got online together. They made up a team, going to instances on Venus. They successively farmed the instances of five different Ziyuan Stars – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. This time Xie Mingzhe enriched his experience, and the settings of the creatures, based on the Five Elements, also gave him a lot of inspiration.

After a day's work, Xie Mingzhe immediately went offline in order to avoid a headache – he had to strike a balance between work and rest, give himself some time to think.

He opened his old laptop and signed into Star Card Storm's official website.

The official website's homepage was so gorgeous that when he clicked in, he felt like he was entering a realistic universe. He entered the bulletin board – the latest news was all about the new season of the professional league and various activities, covering a whole page.

He turned a few pages forward and saw a news t.i.tle in bold that read “Star Card Storm Annual Update Announcement”.

The news was released on July 25th, just a week ago.

Xie Mingzhe quickly swept through the announcement and captured key information about the instant death skill.

First of all, although the instant death effect had been added to the skill database, the official requirement for making IDE (instant death effect) cards were very strict – the card's image and its skill must be united; the card could only have one instant death skill; it could only be targeted at cards of a small category; its own Defense should be very low, so when it instkilled an enemy's card, it would also be instkilled.

Secondly, players in the Arena could only use one IDE card as a “tactical card” to make a successful surprise raid.

Xie Mingzhe now completely understood why [Lin Daiyu] only had 15 points of Defense.

Because [Lin Daiyu]'s skill was too strong, its Defense must be low.

And so was [Wu Song]. Since it had the instant death effect, its attributes, such as Attack and Defense, were third-rate.

When Xie Mingzhe made these two cards, his Inner Spirit was highly focused on the character's actions of “burying” the flowers and “slaying” the tiger. These two cards fit perfectly into the official database setting, so they happened to have an instant death effect.

After figuring this out, Xie Mingzhe continued to search for information about the professional league.

Pang Yu said that the Adjudication Club was one of the six giants in the league. Xie Mingzhe wanted to know the Adjudication Club's real strength.

In recent years, many clubs had appeared due to the large number of professional card players. Among them, Fenghua, Adjudication, Capital of Darkness, Flowing Frost City, Pantheon and Ghost h.e.l.l were the six strongest clubs that had been established for the longest time. Having quite a lot of fans, they were the “six giants” mentioned by Pang Yu. These six clubs, with the support of large consortia behind them, had trained countless outstanding players. They were top-tier clubs in the professional league, and there were countless other second- and third-tier clubs.

President Huan Yue did not lie to him. The Adjudication Club was indeed a very powerful club. Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan were legendary players at the top of the league's pyramid. Especially Nie Yuandao, he had been a player since the first season almost ten years ago. Now other legendary players even have to call him "qianbei"※ when meeting him.

Most people would likely accept if a top club offered them an olive branch.

Xie Mingzhe had also wanted to agree at the beginning, but in the end his rationality overcame the impulse.

He once was a poor guy who only had 200 deposited in his account before he sold the copyright of [Wu Song]. Of course he liked money, but he was not a short-sighted man - his imagination was the most valuable thing he had. The experience of rebirth was his "priceless treasure".

Joining a club to be a card designer and handing over all the card copyrights to the club? Only fools would agree!

He preferred being a free card designer who could create whatever cards he liked without being controlled by any clubs.

He would not sell the copyrights anymore and only sell the cards.

[Wu Song], used only against tigers, was sold for 300,000 as the copyright price.

[Lin Daiyu] was targeted at a wider range – flower cards.

Even if he did not sell the copyright and only sold [Lin Daiyu] cards, a [Lin Daiyu] could certainly be sold for a high price.

It was a big mistake for him to sell [Lin Daiyu] at the black market for a low price. He should take [Lin Daiyu] to another high-end place.
