nCertificate?

nLu Ming was puzzled.

nWhat could he say?

nWhat could they do with a certificate?

nHe knew that the school was stingy but he never thought that it would be to this extent!

nJust a piece of paper?

n“What’s on your mind?”

nTeacher An glared at him. “This is good stuff! You can exchange this for one-time professional guidance from any teacher. You can even get the principal to guide you.”

n“Seriously?”

nLu Ming’s eyes lit up.

nProfessional guidance!

nAny teacher in the school!

nCompared to the cards that he used, he could tell that the certificate was much more valuable.

nAt the thought of this, he put the certificate aside with satisfaction.

nLate at night.

nAfter settling everything and following up with the mining events, Lu Ming felt more at ease now that he returned to the shop.

nAfter all…

nThis was his home.

nThis was the place he was the most familiar with in this world.

n“It’s over,” he silently concluded in his mind.

nThis was a habit he developed over the years as a programmer.

nHe had no other choice. Back then, he had to write lots of reports for every project, every module and even every function, showing them to his ignorant boss. He had to give detailed analyses of the demands and structural design…

nEven if he did not need to write reports now, he would naturally come up with a report in his mind.

nFirst of all.

nHis energy level had exceeded three hundred points!

nCongratulations!

nLu Ming had substantially increased his capability.

nOne must know that the recovery and surging rates of energy were related to one’s cultivation. The stronger the cultivation, the better you would naturally be in other aspects.

nSecondly, his card creating skill had improved tremendously.

nHe had created more than one hundred “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” Cards. Every card and every line was of a high difficulty level and he had drawn them to perfection. Right now, he had a strong foundation in drawing basic lines!

nThe battle experience was very valuable as well.

nOf course, the only pity was those cards in the chamber. However, Lu Ming knew very well that those items did not belong to him.

nHe could not take them and he did not dare to take them.

n“I shall rest now.”

nLu Ming went to sleep after finishing his summary.

nHe had gone through a lot today. After madly creating cards for seven days, he needed a good sleep right now. Otherwise, it would be very wrong if he had a sudden death.

n…

nEarly next morning.

nLu Ming woke up feeling energized. He received a strange message from Zhang Xiaopang—the school spent the entire night searching for the missing students.

n“Missing students?”

nLu Ming was confused.

nHe thought that all the students were alive.

nTeacher An counted the number of people at that time, how could it be possible that someone had disappeared?

nWait a minute…

nIt suddenly dawned on Lu Ming that all the students were alive, but the items in the chamber were “missing”?

nThe school was actually after those items!

nAfter all, Fu Hongming tried to get them at all costs. He even used a Teleport Card to teleport them. Those items must be priceless. It was impossible that the school would give them up.

n“Did they find them?”

nLu Ming knew it very well.

n“Of course.” Zhang Xiaopang smirked. “Teacher An went with them on the search. I heard that they dug them out that night.”

n“You’re very well informed.”

nLu Ming was somewhat surprised.

nHe knew that Zhang Xiaopeng had been getting along well in school, but he did not expect him to know such news.

n“Of course.”

nZhang Xiaopang felt pleased with himself.

n“Oh, right.”

nZhang Xiaopang suddenly thought of something. “You have to wait if you want to create cards. I will not be around these few days. I am going to take the advanced studies for professional Illusionist knowledge.”

n“Oh?”

nLu Ming was surprised.

n“I exchanged it with the certificate.”

nIt was rare that Zhang Xiaopang was so serious. “I will definitely catch up with you.”

n“Humph.”

nLu Ming coughed. “All of us are boys. What’s there to catch up!”

nZhang Xiaopang was speechless.

nBam!

nLu Ming hung up the cell phone.

nHe did not expect that Zhang Xiaopang would be so motivated and would strive to improve himself.

nIt was not easy.

nLu Ming was filled with emotions.

nIn fact, other than him, he believed that after this internship, most of the students who had been through the ordeal would start to work hard on cultivating, which was a good thing.

nIt was only through having first-hand experience of the harsh world that they would start to work hard!

n“I am indeed too weak!”

nLu Ming was very dissatisfied with his capabilities.

nAlthough he had successfully gotten rid of Fu Hongming, saving everyone from danger was far from enough!!!

nCome to think of it, if he was stronger, he would be able to have those items in the chamber. They would not end up with the school.

nThat was the reason why he found it a pity.

nThe card!

nIt was taken away by the school!!!

nLu Ming felt a heartache.

nHe felt as if he had missed a one in a hundred million chance.

nThis feeling was similar to when he took the subway and he saw a beauty that he was interested in. However, she left soon after and he had yet to get her contact number.

nMoreover, he heard from his boss that he had managed to hit on her…

nThat was exactly what he felt: Heartache.

n“I have to become stronger as soon as possible.”

nLu Ming was full of emotions.

nWhen he encountered such things next time, he had to seize the opportunity!

nWell…

nDefinitely.

nBy the way, there was also the black cat who was a fraud!

nLu Ming felt that the creature inside him might be a fake big shot! It seemed to be very powerful, but it refused to help at critical moments!

nIt was a black cat, yet it could not be compared to the nine-tailed fox? How could that be?

nHe had to think of a solution later.

nLu Ming pondered. He might not have touched the black cat’s soft spot. He had to increase his communication with the black cat, getting as familiar with it as possible, so that it would help him when needed.

nWhether the black cat helped him or not was crucial. It determined how powerful his combat ability was!

nAt the thought of this, Lu Ming went into his Sea of Consciousness again.

nClick!

nClick!

nHe heard a familiar sound.

nHe had already expected that the big shot would be grinding its teeth again.

n“What a good-for-nothing,” Lu Ming said to himself. He dared not say it out loud. What was the point of gnawing on a card every single day? Look, it had turned red.

nWait a minute…

nRed?!

nLu Ming turned green.

nNo way!

nCould it be that his Original Card had mutated again after being gnawed at?

nAt the thought of this, he hurried forward to check. He was shocked to discover that his Original Card was still lying under the black cat!

nThen what could it be gnawing at?

nLu Ming took a closer look and was thrilled. The one hundred million?!

nThat was right!

nThe card that the black cat was gnawing on was the priceless card in the chamber!

nWait a minute…

nLu Ming felt puzzled.

nWhen did this card come to be in his Sea of Consciousness? No, accurately speaking, when did the black cat take the card?

nLu Ming was shocked that no one noticed it!

nHe had no idea at all!

nThe power…

n“Brother cat, can I take a look at this card?” Lu Ming asked.

nClick!

nClick!

nThe black cat did not even bother to raise his head.

nWell, there was no hope.

nLu Ming wanted to leave but he felt indignant.

nThe card that Fu Hongming tried desperately to get had ended up with him. If he could use it to improve his ability…

nLu Ming felt excited at the thought of it.

nOf course.

nThe premise was that he must get it from the black cat.

n“Brother cat?”

nLu Ming called, but the black cat was too lazy to deal with him.

nAlright.

nLu Ming shrugged.

nIt was just that… He felt that something was amiss.

nAfter a long time, he finally remembered.

nSea of Consciousness!

nThis was the Sea of Consciousness!

nLu Ming widened his eyes.

nAlthough he was a novice Card Creator and he did not really understand what the Sea of Consciousness was, at the very least he was certain about one thing—physical entities should not be able to reach the Sea of Consciousness.

nTherefore, why would the card be here?

nOr perhaps…

nIt had to do with the creature in front of him?

nThe black cat itself had this amazing ability and the card that was under its paws must have become special as well.

nIn that case…

nWhat if it let go of the card?

nLu Ming was tempted.

nWould the card be able to return to the real world?

nLet’s try it out!

nLu Ming felt energized.

n“Brother cat?” Lu Ming asked softly, “Can I take a look at the card? I will return it to you right away.”

nClick!

nClick!

nThe black cat continued to gnaw on the card.

n“Well…”

nLu Ming thought about it, before saying in a serious tone, “Or perhaps you can give me a task and I will help you to complete it, and my reward will be that card?”

n“No?”

nLu Ming remembered those seniors who had transmigrated and said, “Or perhaps you can create a roulette and we can do a lucky draw and I can exchange for it?”

nThe black cat looked at him as if he was a stupid fool.

n“This won’t do as well?”

nLu Ming felt very disappointed. “What’s the use of having you…”

nBam!

nA black shadow flashed.

nComing! Coming!

nLu Ming had some expectations that his wish would be granted.

nBam!

nHe was slapped away by a paw.

nHowever, just before the black cat slapped him out of the Sea of Consciousness, he saw clearly that the card left the black cat and disappeared in the Sea of Consciousness!

nIt had disappeared!

nHahaha!

nYou have to blame yourself for slapping me!

nHahaha!

nHis consciousness dissipated.

nLu Ming returned to reality. As expected, the red card had appeared.

nSuccessful!

nLu Ming was slightly excited.

nAfter all, he had fooled brother cat into giving him the card… Wait a minute, would it take the card back? He stole a quick glance at his Sea of Consciousness with a guilty conscience.

nThe black cat was still squatting lazily on the mat.

nIt seemed to have no response.

nExcept that its tail kept on swinging!

nThe frequency was quite high.

n“Brother cat is angry!”

nLu Ming was slightly terrified.

nHe knew how frightening the creature was. However, if brother cat was so angry, why didn’t it take the card back directly?

nWell…

nOr perhaps…

nIt could not be taken back?

nLu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

nHe suddenly remembered that the black cat was also in a weak state. Therefore, it must be very energy-consuming to cross over between reality and Sea of Consciousness!

nTherefore, it could only make a one-time trip for now!

n“Hurry! I must make use of the time to study this card before brother cat recovers!”
