n“Brother Lu?”
nThe round head curiously asked.
n“Zhang Xiaopang.”
nLu Ming deep sighed deeply.
nWhy? He could even meet him in a place like this!
nThat was right!
nThe little head that peeped out from inside the tent was obviously Zhang Xiaopang.
nSince he had exposed this son-of-a-bitch that ran to his shop and cheated him of money last time, he had not seen him for a long time. He didn’t expect to meet him there!
nIn that manner!
n“You’ve failed your subjects?” Lu Ming asked then sighed.
n“Yes.”
n“How many subjects?”
n“Six subjects.”
n“Oh.”
nLu Ming paused. He had some misgivings and said, “I remember that the Illusion Faculty only has a total of six subjects, right?”
n“Yes.”
nZhang Xiaopang was a little embarrassed.
nShoo!
nWhat else could Lu Ming say?
nSo, he flunked the entire first-year curriculum!
n“I didn’t notice you earlier.”
nLu Ming was a little curious.
nLogically, it was impossible that he would completely miss Zhang Xiaopang’s tent if it was pitched at that spot.
n“Uh.”
n“I added some Visual Bulwark and muting effects to this tent.”
nZhang Xiaopang coughed.
nVisual Bulwark?
nMuting?
nLu Ming was a little puzzled. It was just a tent. Why did you add so many functionalities to it?!
nAt that very moment, he saw Zhang Xiaopang’s tent vibrating slightly. Instinctively, he glanced at the seam of the tent. There seemed to be a feminine and delicate figure moving inside.
nWait a minute!
nShielding…
nMuting…
n“Earlier on, don’t tell me you were… ”
nLu Ming was surprised.
nThis was shocking and scary, okay!
nWhile that group of novices were still in the stage of Psycholagny, he had actually reached the implementation stage!
n“I am a man who does it fourteen times a day!”
nZhang Xiaopang was proud of himself.
nFourteen times…
nLu Ming counted. Fourteen multiply by three was forty-two seconds.
nTsk.
nWait a minute!
nLu Ming suddenly thought of something.
n“So, you are the legendary tent monster that vibrates?” Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.
n“It’s me.”
nZhang Xiaopang glanced at Lu Ming’s tent, that had inexplicably appeared at the place. He understood a little too. “So, that legendary tent monster that moves without a sound is you?”
n“Pleasure to meet you.”
n“Same here.”
nThe polite exchanges between the two suddenly felt a little silly. They stopped.
n“That… ”
n“Brother Lu, can we talk again later?”
nZhang Xiaopang felt a little cold.
nActually, he was aware that this internship would be very tough. Hence, he was fully prepared to come and console the disappointed junior girls and gain credit for himself at the same time.
nHe did not expect to bump into Lu Ming here.
n“Well…”
nAfter thinking, Lu Ming said, “After I go back, I plan to create a new card. I am short of an illusionist.”
n“Deal.”
nZhang Xiaopang agreed without any reservation. He was screaming in his heart. Brother, could you hurry up and leave?!
nHe was naked now. Hence, he could only extend his big head in and out of the seams at the zip of the tent. It was very embarrassing and awkward.
n“Price… ” Lu Ming pondered.
n“Free! With our relationship, it’s definitely free!”
nZhang Xiaopang was almost crying.
n“Not bad.”
nLu Ming smiled and rubbed his dog head. He then left satisfactorily.
nSmall win.
nCould I not subdue you?
nLet’s see if you will dare to come knocking at my door and con me again!
n***
nAfter leaving Zhang Xiaopang, Lu Ming changed to another mine cave before continuing to create cards again.
nHis time today was very precious. He had attained two hundred and eighty points of energy now. It was the most critical juncture.
nWhoosh!
nWhoosh!
nThere were only faint sounds of a pen writing in the mine cave.
nTwo hundred and eighty five…
nTwo hundred and ninety…
n…
nThree hundred!
nAt the last stroke of the pen, Lu Ming felt a wave of ease.
nSuccessful!
nHis energy level had finally reached three hundred points!
nIn six days!
nLu Ming’s energy level had finally shot up from eighty-five to three hundred points! He had met the minimum requirement to integrate the “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Card!
nHe could cast this card now.
nHis combat ability had improved rapidly!
nWhoosh!
nLu Ming took out all his cards.
nThe Energy Cards only took up a small portion, and the number of “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Card was as high as one hundred cards!
nInitially, he could only create one “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Card in one hour. Over these few days of rampantly creating, he had also greatly improved his creation speed.
nIn six days, he had actually created one hundred cards!
nIt was unbelievable!
n“With these cards, I finally have a certain level of combat ability.”
nLu Ming felt relieved.
nAs someone who was very particular about safety…
nAlright.
nHe was just timid.
nIf he did not have anything on hand, he would keep feeling that he was very weak. In particular, he was in a non-fighting vocation! Fortunately, that was a thing of the past.
n“His cultivation was stronger now. The Original Card should be more powerful now.”
nLu Ming tried to summon his Original Card.
nBuzz—
nThe Original Card was suspended above his hands.
nIt was clear that the Original Card felt and looked different now.
nIt had more texture.
nIt was more sturdy.
nHe could control it with more ease.
nHalf a month ago, he only had forty eight points of energy level. Never did he imagine that he could reach this stage within a short time frame of half a month?
nOf course, there were also huge repercussions for such rapid improvement.
nFor example…
nThe mine cave behind him.
n“It has become useless again.”
nLu Ming gave a deep sigh.
nCasting his glance afar, he could see that all the Energy Ores that were visible to the naked eye in this long mine cave had turned into waste rocks!
nBe they big or small… all of them had zero energy level!
n“I’m really worried for the kids doing the internship.”
nLu Ming was filled with emotions.
nAfter this, he brought the tent into another mine cave and continued to pitch it.
nSince he had already achieved his target, he did not intend to cultivate further for the time being. The difference between three hundred and four hundred points was not great. He might as well maintain his current capability.
nHe planned to create some cards to prepare for emergencies.
nToday’s target was one hundred Energy Cards!
n“Come on.”
nLu Ming was in high spirits.
nHe had only four to five hours of sleep everyday but he did not feel tired at all.
nHonestly, if not for his phobia of sudden death, he might not even want that four to five hours of sleep! He was wasting his energy level with every minute and second of sleep!
nThey were resources!
nMoney!
nWhoosh!
nWhoosh!
nA familiar sound could be heard. Lu Ming entered the card creating mode again.
n…
nThe next day.
nThe students woke up early.
nThey looked more energetic. This was because today was the last day of the internship. After today, they would be fully liberated!
n“We finally got through this.”
n“The last day!”
n“I will rather starve for one day than work.”
nSome people were as pessimistic as a corpse.
n“I will be able to exchange enough for the cultivation meal.”
n“Me too.”
n“What the f**, you all actually did it?”
nSomeone exclaimed in amazement.
nEveryone was aware of how fraudulent this internship was. Given such a situation, one could even exchange for advanced services… Just how crazy were these guys?!
n“I mined for twenty hours everyday. This is what I have been waiting for.”
nThose people were full of expectations.
n“None of you redeemed the virtual reality games?”
nSomeone asked.
n“Not yet.”
nThose people shook their heads.
nThey were very interested but eventually rationality came first.
nWas the virtual reality game realistic?
nRealistic!
nHowever, all these were ultimately unreal.
nThis was different from cards such as Fruit Ninja that could improve one’s capability. Ultimately, the virtual reality game place could only indulge your consciousness in the enjoyment of the illusion. It would not change anything.
nOn the other hand, one cultivation meal was enough to improve their capability marginally.
n“My foundation is too poor. The cultivation meal can make up a little for it.”
n“Me too.”
nTo each his own.
nHowever, to everyone’s surprise, the ground suddenly shook violently at noon.
nBang!
nA deafening sound could be heard.
n“What happened?”
n“Be careful!”
nThe students shouted in shock.
nThe hills were shaking. Some gravels fell from the top of it.
nThe tunnels developed in the mine caves had all been reinforced. In addition, there were countless hard and sturdy Energy Stones inside the tunnel. It was extremely stable at this point in time.
nTherefore, the students went to hide themselves in the mine caves.
nAt this moment, a huge black shadow appeared out of thin air and shrouded all the entrances of the mine cave.
nCovering the sky and sun!
nIt was extremely scary!
nThat was…
nThe teacher looked up and his expression changed greatly. He called out to all the students to retreat. “Hurry, this is dangerous. Go inside!”
nWow—
nAll the students sprinted into the mine cave crazily.
nClick!
nClick!
nClear and crisp cracking sounds could be heard.
nThat black shadow that dimmed the sky and sun was swaying. It finally descended.
nBang!
nThere was a loud bang.
nThat black shadow had fallen from the sky.
nWith the naked eye, one could see the factory and dormitory situated by the hillside faraway had been instantly destroyed. The road in front of the mine cave that spiraled the hillside had also collapsed.
nThe earth was shaking, seemingly mourning.
nThe entire mine cave had been sealed.
nThis was…
nThe students looked from afar and immediately gasped a breath of cold air. That huge black shadow that had come down was actually the top of the hill!
n“This is the hilltop!”
nSomeone shouted in shock. The mine’s hilltop had actually collapsed.
n“How can that be possible?!
nEveryone was scared out of their wits.
nThe mine had collapsed!
nAll the buildings at the hillside were impacted!
nThe factory and dormitory had been destroyed. They did not even know if the employees were still alive. Only those who were in the mine cave escaped the calamity.
n
