Master of Trading Star Card Game

Hongzhu squatted near Boss Zhang's booth for a long time, and never saw anyone selling Daiyu cards, but a few spies she sent to search the black market reported privately, "Sister Hongzhu, found five Daiyu cards!" Sister Zhu, I found three of them here!" Hong Zhu replied immediately: "Buy them back immediately! Also, don't reveal your identity, just say that you bought them back for collection."

The two expressed their understanding, and quickly bought back the eight Daiyu cards and handed them to the president.

Hong Zhu hid behind the booth and was so anxious that he almost stared out a hole in the black market street.

A long time passed, and the person she was waiting for had not yet appeared.

Sister Xue said that there are currently 10 Daiyu cards on the market, and the people she sent to search the black market only recovered 8, and there are 2 more?It's okay to be collected by others, but don't be bought by some clubs!Thinking of this, Hong Zhu felt more and more uneasy.She stared sharply at the crowd coming and going in the black market, wishing she could find out the culprit through the crowd.

However, before she could find the culprit, she found a mortal enemy—the vice president of the Judgment Guild, Setting Sun.

Both Fenghua and Judgment are the top card clubs in the league, and the players are also super popular masters. The two guilds have constant friction in the game, and the relationship between the two guilds is naturally not much better.

Hong Zhu turned to leave, but the setting sun stopped her, and said with a fake smile: "Sister Hong, long time no see, what have you been up to lately?"

"I came to the black market to collect some cards and materials." Hong Zhu said coldly.

"Is this preparing for the new season?"

"En." Hong Candle hurriedly turned and left.

The setting sun didn't stop her anymore, and leisurely strolled around the black market.

When the guild buys top-quality cards, it will usually be handed over to the guild merchant to buy from the card store in the commercial street. There are many high-star finished cards in the card store, and they can be used directly after buying.The cards in the black market have a very low probability of appearing top quality, and most of them are low-level collectible cards with one to four stars, which do not have much combat value.But once the best products appear, they can often follow the vines and find some newcomers with extremely high card making talents.

Tang Muzhou, the chief player of the Fenghua Club, made his fortune in the black market.

The era when Tang Muzhou's plant cards swept the black market has passed for several years, but veteran players still remember it with thrilling memories.At that time, newcomer Tang Muzhou used the word "Tang" as his logo to make a large number of plant cards and sell them on the black market, and they were sold out in an instant.Later, Tang Muzhou, who made a lot of money, relied on his outstanding card making talent to single-handedly bring up the wood card group that had been in a downturn for a long time at that time.

Xue Linxiang, the manager of the ace player, and Hong Zhu, the president of Fenghua, are all powerful characters brought out by him from online games.

Tang Muzhou's appearance had a strong impact on the fifth season of the Pai League. A large-scale reshuffle eliminated many old players, and also allowed many newcomers to rise up.Since then, the five series of cards will no longer be dominated by one family, and the various card groups have gradually become more balanced. The players of each series have their own characteristics, and a hundred flowers bloom together, making the game more exciting and beautiful.

Perhaps it was because of Tang Muzhou's influence, and sister Hongzhu always liked to visit the black market, so the black market has become a treasure trove for major guilds to find talents, and the management of each guild has also formed the habit of "idle and boring shopping in the black market".

It's a pity that since Tang Shen, for five years, there has never been a professional player who started from selling cards on the black market.

Setting sun recalled the past while visiting the black market.

At this moment, he suddenly received a private chat message from an undercover agent sent to the Fenghua Guild: "Boss, Red Candle suddenly sent someone to buy a beautiful character card, saying that he wanted to keep it, and secretly charged a high price on the black market." A booth for purchasing character cards."

Setting Yang was stunned: "What does she accept character cards for?"

The undercover said: "It is said that I like character cards recently and want to buy some collections."

The setting sun didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the red candle gourd, so he told the undercover agent: "Keep following up, let me know as soon as you have any news."

In fact, Red Candle was forced to do so. After squatting for a long time and still not being able to find the person who sold the card, she decided to "lead the snake out of the hole"—directly opened a big booth on the black market, and named it "Purchasing Collectible Beauty Character Cards at High Prices". I almost typed the four words "Daiyu's burial of flowers".

The various guilds sent undercover agents to each other, and everyone knew it well, so Hong Zhu tried to keep a low profile and didn't dare to say anything about Daiyuka.This move of hers also puzzled the major guilds in the game, and they all speculated about the reason.

What made Hongzhu dumbfounded was that as soon as the purchase booth opened, all kinds of messy card makers brought beauty character cards to her for sale. In just half an hour, she saw beauty cards of various styles.

Surrounded by beauties, Red Candle is suffering and can't tell, and can only hope that the guy named "Yue Ban" will appear soon!

***

Xie Mingzhe is destined not to appear in this acquisition booth, because he no longer paints Lin Daiyu.

This is the conclusion he came to after two visits to the black market—in the game that has been in operation for ten years, painters of various styles emerge in endlessly, there are so many handsome and beautiful cards, and the slow sales of character cards is very serious.

In addition to the Buddhist players who are casually raising cards in this game, most of them are sports enthusiasts.It can be seen from the auction that no matter how cute the pet card is, it can be sold for a few thousand gold coins at most, but the top-quality battle card "Evening Fragrance" was sold for a sky-high price of 66 gold coins. The pursuit of card attributes by passionate players is far greater than the surface of the card.

Therefore, whether the characters in the painting are good-looking is secondary, and the key is strong combat effectiveness.

Having figured this out, Xie Mingzhe temporarily gave up the idea of ​​painting beauties in Dream of Red Mansions, and turned his attention to Water Margin.

Wu Song was the first character he thought of as a character with strong fighting power in Water Margin.

他从小就爱看小说、漫画，看水浒连环画时他才六岁，那些书都是一位慈善家捐给孤儿院的，他每天捧着连环画看得津津有味，觉得武松几拳下去揍死一只A living tiger is so handsome—a pure man, a real man!It's a pity that he doesn't remember the image of Wu Song in the TV series very clearly, but he does remember the black and white illustrations in the comic strips.

Xie Mingzhe first described the scene of Wu Song fighting the tiger in his mind, and after confirming it, he took out the nebula paper and tried to make new cards.

Since there are only black and white comics in my memory, the composition this time is much simpler than Daiyu's burial of flowers.

With the slow infusion of mental power, a black and white ink style picture gradually appeared on the paper of Xingyun—I saw a muscular man clenched his fist, the veins on his fist were bulging, he punched down, and hit the ground firmly. He hit the tiger's head, and the tiger's brains were splashed by him, and he died!

System: "The card was created successfully, please connect to the database for review!"

With the experience of reviewing Lin Daiyu's cards, Xie Mingzhe waited patiently this time.A few minutes later, the sound of "approved" sounded in his ear, and he skillfully printed his "Yueban" LOGO on the back of the card.

It was still a low-level initial card, Xie Mingzhe picked up the card and carefully checked the data of this new card.

Wu Song (Fire Department)

Level: 1

Evolution star: ★

Available times: 1/1

Basic attributes: life 300, defense 300, attack 300, agility 10, crit rate 20%,

Additional skills: Wu Song Fighting the Tiger (stretch out your fist and hit the head of the tiger, causing huge damage, 15% chance to trigger the instant death effect)

The attributes of this card are much better than the original Daiyu card.Daiyu's basic life is 100, defense is 15, and attack is 0.Wu Song's life is 300, defense is 300, and attack is 300, which is more than ten times.The skill only takes effect on tigers and is not widely used, but its basic attributes are high, and the Wu Song he drew looks particularly handsome.Daiyu sold for 30, Wu Song should be able to sell higher, right?

Xie Mingzhe decided to take the cards to the black market to ask the price first, and if they sell well, he will come back and draw a few more.

When he came to the black market, he found a stall at the entrance that "purchases collectible beauty card at a high price". Many people were selling beauty cards there, and the purchase price seemed to start at 50 gold coins.Xie Mingzhe's Daiyu cards were all sold out, so he ignored it for the time being and went straight to the depths of the black market.

The black market is a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Many ordinary-looking businessmen may have the support of various big guilds behind them.Especially for those large purchase stalls, the business is not worse than the shops in the prime location of the central square.

Xie Mingzhe walked around first to see how much a card with similar attributes to Wu Song sold for. After he had a solid idea, he came to a booth that "purchases high-attribute combat cards" and handed the Wu Song card he had just made to the boss. : "Boss, what do you think of my card, how much can it sell for?"

The boss took it over and looked at it, and said, "Your card's attack and defense attributes are very balanced, and its skills are average, so it's not very practical. Balanced cards can't be sold at a high price. The initial card with one star costs about 50 gold coins."

Xie Mingzhe took back the card with a smile: "Seeing that I'm a newcomer because I'm low-level, why are you fooling me? Forget it, I'll go to another booth to see."

He didn't want to deal with old and treacherous businessmen. For 100 things, you can still charge around 70. Is it an idiot to directly ask for 50?He saw that several nearby stalls had similar data to Wu Song's, and they all sold for about 100.

Xie Mingzhe took the card back, ignored the boss's call, and turned to another booth.

The owner of this stall is a cute little girl, wearing a princess dress, with a sweet voice: "Uncle Fat, do you want to sell original cards?"

"Well, take a look, boss." Xie Mingzhe handed her the card.The little girl said: "This card has balanced data, and the price is 100. I accept it."

"It's a bit low, isn't it? My one-star card has an attack power of 300, and the attack power of a seven-star card is tens of thousands, and it has a bonus effect against tigers." Xie Mingzhe tried hard to sell his cards, "You add a little more , how about 140?"

"..." This person is not bad, and he has a set of reasons when he talks about it.The girl thought for a while, then nodded, "All right, 140!"

The cost price of Nebula paper is only 7 gold coins, and it sells for 140, which has doubled by 20 times, and it’s a hit!

Xie Mingzhe was ecstatic, but on the surface he pretended to be calm, sold the card to the other party, and asked with a smile: "I am the original author, and I can continue to make this card. Do you still need it? Long-term cooperation and batch purchase are possible. The price is given to you." How about your offer?"

The girl waved her hand with a headache: "You are too good at talking, I don't want to buy in bulk, thank you."

Xie Mingzhe turned and walked away regretfully.

***

The setting sun was wandering around the black market, trying to find some unique cards, but it was a pity that there was nothing to be gained after shopping for a long time.When he walked to Shuangshuangmeizi's purchase booth, he stopped and asked, "How is the business recently?"

Today, Shuangshuang temporarily replaced Master to buy cards at a black market stall, and didn't know much about cards, but thought Wu Song's card was very special, so he bought one.Seeing the vice president coming in person, she immediately said respectfully: "Business is okay. Vice president, I just received a card here. It's quite unique. Let me show you." She handed over the Wu Song card she just received. to the president.

The setting sun looked at the card carefully, and found that the attack, defense, and life were well balanced. This kind of card can only be said to be third-rate.Additional skills...Wu Song fights the tiger: Stretches out his fist and smashes the head of the tiger, causing huge damage, with a 15% chance of triggering an instant death effect.

Setting Yang's pupils constricted suddenly, and his fingers also clenched hard——

An instant death judgment skill specially for tiger cards! !When encountering this card, wouldn't God Nie's white tiger kneel? ! !

Setting Yang's breathing immediately became short of breath. He looked around and found no acquaintances around, he was slightly relieved, then lowered his voice and asked in both ears: "Who sold this card to you?"

Shuang Shuang said: "A novice at level 15, called Fatty Uncle, said that he made this card himself."

Setting Yang's voice was trembling with tension: "You know him, right? Go find him and call him back!"

Shuangshuang looked blank: "Vice President, what do you want him to do?"

The setting sun said: "Just say that I want to buy a lot of his cards, and bring him back to the guild to meet me!"

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Shuangshuang hurriedly handed over the stall to the guild partner who set up the stall together, and ran away.

After chasing him all the way in the black market, she saw a familiar fat uncle in front of her, and immediately called out, "Fat uncle, wait a minute..."

As a result, before he could finish speaking, he saw that person opened the space portal and returned directly to his apartment.

There are countless personal apartments of Gemini. Where a certain player lives is the privacy of the player. Unless the other party actively informs the house number, otherwise it is impossible to find a needle in a haystack.In order to avoid players being harassed, only nearby players and friends can chat in private voice in the game.When you are not nearby, you can only send emails.

Shuangshuang remembered his name, and immediately sent him an email, conveying the vice president's words to him.

However, at the moment when the mail was delivered, the fat uncle in the game happened to go offline.

Because Brother Chen, the boss of the power leveling studio, came over in person and asked Xie Mingzhe to eat.

The author has something to say: the main characters make cards according to the plot, Daiyu leads Tang Muzhou, Wu Song leads the Judgment Guild, and there are characters from the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West!
