Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 79 Preparing for the College Entrance Examination

"Brother Tian, ​​do you usually visit forums?"

After Zhang Jingtian woke up, he received a message from Zhou Yang.

He and Zhou Yang usually have an average relationship, but after this competition, they can be considered friends.

"Very rarely. I spend most of my time studying." Zhang Jingtian still has to maintain an image of being a hard-working student to the outside world, otherwise his rapid promotion will be difficult for many people to understand.

Zhou Yang responded very quickly:
"As expected, there's a reason why you're so outstanding, Brother Tian. I'm not gossiping, but something broke out on the forum recently, and it's really weird."

The forum Zhou Yang was talking about was not their school's forum, nor was it a star-chasing forum, but a forum under the Card Makers Association.

Since there are no ordinary people here, only those who have been certified as reserve card makers in the association can enter, so you can see a lot of explosive news.

However, the forum has a very strict hierarchy, and there are also sections divided according to the card maker's mental power.

For example, a prospective card maker cannot go to the official card maker section.

Official card makers are also divided into bronze, silver and peak levels.

However, the most popular forum is still their local chat section.

Under Zhou Yang's recommendation, Zhang Jingtian opened the chat section of their Lanruo City.

As soon as I entered, my screen was flooded with news.

Shocking! A large number of stray cat and dog remains were found in the park! Reasonable suspicion of pet abuse!

This post is the most popular, with over 100,000 replies.

However, after Zhang Jingtian clicked on it, he thought everyone was discussing whether this was related to the Scourge Legion, but it turned out to be a war between factions such as cat lovers, dog lovers, animal protection organizations, pet haters, and passers-by.

"Stray cats deserve to be killed! I support this righteous person! Stray cats have killed so many birds, why can't bird lovers applaud?"

"I hate dogs the most, and some people walk their dogs without a leash! These stray cats and dogs should be beaten to death!"

"Can some people please stop changing the subject? I support your harmless disposal of stray cats and dogs, but killing them is not okay, right? Looking at the fur and even the broken limbs on the ground, I can't imagine what methods that person used!"

"Yeah, it's okay for some people to hate animals, but don't force yourself to become a monster! This kind of cruelty might just attract bad things!"

"How can you assume it was cruelty? Do you have any evidence? Besides, is animal cruelty against the law?"

Zhang Jingtian sneered and had no interest in this discussion.

Fortunately, the forum was not full of meaningless debates, and he saw an interesting post.

[Could it be that the people who kill stray cats and dogs are not humans?]

"I, I'm the host. Although I'm only a reserve card maker, I'm definitely not crazy, and I believe in my eyes.

The thing is, last night I was coming back from my night shift and happened to be passing by the park. I smelled blood and thought someone had summoned a heroic spirit.

As I turned a corner on my bike, the streetlights came on and I saw a man rummaging through a trash can on the side of the road. I thought to myself, this man is quite pitiful, having no choice but to rummage through the trash can because he has nothing to eat.

But when I passed by him, I saw a lot of blood under his feet... I was so scared that I fainted and hurried home.

Now that I think about it, this, this might not even be a human being! "

Zhang Jingtian didn't expect that this man, who was a card maker, was so timid.

At this point, the discussion finally revolved around whether the murderer was really from the Scourge.

But after discussing it this way, no one cared much about it anymore.

Because the monsters of the Scourge are also divided into different levels.

A monster that only dared to attack small animals on the roadside was probably a white card level. It was more like it had crawled out from Xihu Lake or some other crevice in the middle of the night and got lost.

The one who should be most worried about his life is obviously this monster.

"I think if it really was a monster from the Scourge, it would have been turned into material by now."

"Yeah, there shouldn't be too many of these low-level monsters wandering around, otherwise where will the materials in the market come from? Many of them are destroyed by card makers before they can cause any harm."

"Indeed, monsters like these that don't even dare to attack humans are usually ignored. It's only because they killed cats and dogs that pet lovers started arguing. It's as if the lives of cats and dogs are more valuable than those of humans."

After reading the replies in the post, Zhang Jingtian was also convinced.

These low-level monsters should have disappeared by now.

However, this was the first time he had seen someone so cowardly that only attacked cats and dogs.

Zhang Jingtian quickly put the matter behind him, after all, he still had to take the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination here also includes cultural subjects, with a full score of 300 points.

The test mainly covers the history of the card-making world, the characteristics of the Scourge, and theoretical knowledge of card-making.

The academic subjects were not difficult. Zhang Jingtian had memorized the key points these days and felt that getting 270 or 280 points would not be a problem.

But the most important thing is actually the other two tests.

One is a quality test, which is actually based on your mental strength level and the cards you make. The full score is 200.

If you haven't made your own cards before the college entrance examination, you will get 0 points in this section. Basically, you will have no chance of getting into the card school, and it will be difficult to get into an ordinary university.

Most of these people can only choose to repeat their studies or enter the workforce. After all, there are many cases where people create cards at work and become card makers.

Zhang Jingtian was a noble silver card maker who also made purple cards. He scored a perfect score on the quality test.

The last test is actual combat.

However, the actual college entrance examination is not a duel, but the candidates in an examination room are randomly sent into a copy.

Based on the performance, the examiner will give a subjective score after watching the video.

The full score is 500 points.

It accounts for half of the total, which also reflects the importance of actual combat for card makers.

After all, no matter how good your theoretical knowledge is or how excellent the cards you make are, it will be useless if you don’t know how to use them.

Now that Zhang Jingtian has become a card maker himself, he understands more and more the importance of actual combat.

To be honest, if he had the financial resources like Luo Shasha and Chen Haotian, he should have started to strive to become a gold card maker by now.

These 5 percent are crucial.

If you want to go to the Imperial Capital Card Academy and the Magic Capital Card Academy, the total score must be above 900, and the actual combat score cannot be lower than 450 (floating score, divided according to the performance of the district).

Then, those who meet this standard will be admitted based on their ranking and some other factors.

As for these other factors, Zhang Jingtian also understood them.

If you have a family heritage, or your parents were students of these two academies, or you can donate tens of millions of points, you have a chance of being admitted based on merit.

Zhang Jingtian could also understand. After all, these two top card academies were independently operated and they definitely needed money.

If Zhang Jingtian wants to enter a top university, he must not slack off.
