Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 139: All members of the college league gather
"I thought I could handle people my own age!"

After hearing this news, a helpless expression suddenly appeared on Zhang Jingtian's face: "Doesn't that mean I have already secured the championship?"

The president and the senior student sitting across from him rolled their eyes.
"Do you think it's easy? This freshman competition is the most highly regarded, and we've partnered with Dragon Country's largest video platform. Starting from the first round, the entire competition will be broadcast live. The attention it will receive is no less than that of a professional competition."

Zhang Jingtian exclaimed, there were indeed broadcasts of college leagues before, but they were basically on some small platforms.

The main reason is to protect some of the students. After all, they may not necessarily choose a professional career in the future, so it is not good to expose them too early.

I didn’t expect that this time they would actually broadcast the entire process live.

"I heard that the higher-ups discovered that the combat prowess of your freshmen is actually the most spectacular to watch."

"In some professional competitions, high-level card makers and heroic spirits sometimes have skills that are too strong, often resulting in instant kills."

Zhang Jingtian nodded in understanding. He had watched professional competitions before. The most interesting ones were the teams that fought each other with weak teams. The heroes mainly engaged in melee combat, while the card makers played a supporting role.

But when it comes to the top teams, the skills of the heroes become unpredictable, and sometimes the game ends before you can even understand it.

Needless to say, the card makers have a dazzling array of skills. Sometimes a card maker's combat power is even stronger than that of a heroic spirit of the same level.

Especially once the venue card is opened, the overall effect can instantly reverse the situation.

So after seeing such a competition, Zhang Jingtian felt that even he, a card maker, found it boring, so it would probably be even more difficult for ordinary audiences to understand.

But even so, there are still a lot of viewers, because this is the safest and most convenient way for ordinary people to come into contact with card makers.

"And this year's competition, in addition to our regular Card Academy, the Ministry of War and the five major families will also participate."

"With their abilities, if they really took the college entrance examination, it would be possible for them to get the top score."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingtian's expression changed.

"Is it really that strong?"

The president across from him nodded. "The card makers in the military department grew up in a different environment than you. If you encounter them, you really need to be careful. They are more vicious because they have a high probability of killing people on their hands."

Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyu's face changed.

No, then why would they participate?

“As for the five great families, they rarely show up, but as card-making families with a legacy, their strength should not be underestimated.

When the time comes to draw lots, it’s best to avoid them and the Ministry of War.”

Zhang Jingtian understood that it was not because he was afraid of his opponent, but because he did not understand him.

So you don't know what his moves are, and there is a high possibility that you will fail due to lack of preparation.

"The five of you are the main force this time, and Ding Xiaoyu and Wei Yingyue, you two are the substitutes."

The president quickly announced the candidate.

Zhang Jingtian, Yang Zheng, and Bai Xiaoyue, jokingly called the Big Three of the freshman class, were naturally there.

The remaining two had good scores in the college entrance examination, were students in special dormitories, and were also good in practical skills.

They are Guan Feng, who wears glasses, and Xu Shijie, who is short and dark-skinned.

Guan Feng was usually taciturn, and no one knew him very well. He immediately introduced himself:
"I'm from District 4, and I'm good at playing human cards. I have a steady personality and can stay rational even in critical moments."

Xu Shijie, who was standing next to him, immediately said, "I'm from District 2, and I'm a classmate of Bai Xiaoyue's. I'm good at Orc cards, just like her. I have a rather short temper, prefer individual competitions, and am not very good at working with others."

The president nodded, then looked at Zhang Jingtian: "How about it, are you confident in being the captain?" Zhang Jingtian grinned: "Of course, President. I do have this confidence."

"As for the captain, it's very important to plan your troops and formations well, as well as plan ahead for the team competition."

"By the way, there may be some changes to the rules of this year's competition. We'll just have to wait for the official website."

"What about the reward?" Zhang Jingtian asked immediately. This was the part he cared about most.

The president of the club immediately said, "If you take first place, everyone will share a 50 million point prize pool. The school won't take any of the proceeds; it's all yours."

At this time, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

This is equivalent to more than 7 million per person, which is a very high number for Zhang Jingtian.

He couldn't earn that much even if he worked hard selling spell cards.

"If any of you want to join a professional team, there are special tryouts. But I don't mind if you take this path in your freshman year."

"There's also a hidden bonus, which is massive exposure. This year's college league will definitely be much more popular than ever before.

By then, you might be able to get advertising or even endorsements like those professional players. This income is much greater than the prize money.

At the end of the tournament, the competition team will select the final MVP, and I heard there will be a mysterious grand prize."

After he finished speaking, the seven people present were eager to try it out.

"All you have to do now is prepare. It would be embarrassing if you were eliminated in the first round."

Zhang Jingtian patted his chest and said, "That won't happen as long as I'm here!"

"By the way, along with this college league, there's also a Dragon Country ranking."

"What is that?" Yang Zheng asked in confusion.

"It's a ranking of card makers' strength, but it doesn't rely solely on mental strength. It takes a comprehensive approach, and the judging body behind it is the Card Creators Association.

Your performance in this college league will also affect your ranking on the list."

"What is the significance of this ranking?" Bai Xiaoyue asked.

"It's supposed to motivate you. After all, who doesn't want to be number one? Wouldn't you be ashamed if you didn't even make the top 100?"

Bai Xiaoyue's face turned red. If she really didn't make it into the top 100, it would be so embarrassing.

She was too embarrassed to see her family.

Zhang Jingtian on the opposite side smiled and said, "If we were ranked by age, would we also be at the top in the country?"

"Of course not by age. There's a special ranking list for students enrolled in card academies across the country, called the University Heavenly Ranking.

I heard that the Ministry of War also has a list, but we can't see it because it is only circulated internally.

Besides college students, there's also the most prestigious Dragon Nation Heavenly Ranking. The top 100 on this list are all the best of the best."

"Whether any of you can make it into the top 7 is a question. By the way, I'm number ."

After the words fell, several students looked at the president in admiration.
