nDowntown area.

nLu Ming woke up early in the morning.

nYesterday’s events did not have any impact on him.

nWhen he was doing his programming job before, he had seen many of those scenes.

nSomeone played the cracked version of the game and angrily scolded him ‘rubbish’…. He also heard before that, after reading pirated novels, someone wrote criticism on the website of the original novel.

nHence, he was not the slightest bit surprised by this kind of reaction. One would never know how people like that existed in this world.

nBefore he opened the door, Lu Ming was thinking about this.

nUntil…

nClick!

nLu Ming pushed open the heavy anti-burglary doors.

nAt the doorstep.

nA young lady was squatting. She looked like she was eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a school uniform, with her hair tied into two ponytails. She was staring at him with her big and watery eyes.

nThere seemed to be a sign hanging in front of her.

n“Little friend?”

nLu Ming looked at her, feeling baffled. “Do you want to buy cards?”

nThe young lady glanced at Lu Ming and sighed. She pointed at the sign in front of her.

n“Yes?”

nLu Ming took a closer glance and was instantly dumbstruck.

n“Respected shop owner, good day. This is Mr. Jiang who caused trouble at your shop yesterday. After I went home, I sorted out my thoughts. I am deeply apologetic for the trouble. Unfortunately, my family is poor and I don’t have the ability to compensate you. Hence, after careful consideration, I have decided to let my daughter come to your place to work to pay off my debts.”

n— The extremely guilty Mr Jiang.

nLu Ming was dumbstruck.

nWhat did this mean?

nDid he need to harm his child in this way?!

nGuilty-conscious? Guilty, my nose!

nHe had vaguely felt that something was amiss yesterday. Judging by this, yesterday’s conflict was planned. He had already sent someone over today?

nLu Ming was going a little mad.

nBefore him, the sign in front of the young lady seemed to have turned into four words — Become a kept woman.

nIt was crazy!

n“Well…

nYoung lady.”

nLu Ming squatted down in a serious manner. “I don’t want the compensation anymore. Ask your father to bring you back. See, it’s not suitable for you to stay here, alright?”

nThe young lady looked at him coldly and then flipped the sign.

nOn the sign.

nThere were two flight tickets printed.

nIt was the 6 o’clock morning flight to Tian Du City.

n“Hello, my humble self will be out of town for work to repay what I owe you. I will definitely clear my debts after I come back. If you kick my daughter out for being clumsy, just dump her on the streets. I believe she will be able to survive.”

n— The guilty Mr. Jiang.”

nLu Ming froze completely.

nHe…

nLeft?!

nWhat did he mean by just dumping on the streets?

nThis was the first time that Lu Ming suffered from such a bad emotional breakdown. What was this?

nTen minutes later.

nIn the shop, Lu Ming and the young lady looked at each other helplessly.

nLu Ming had no choice. He could not possibly really dump her on the streets. He could only pick her up and use her. Ah, wrong. It was to bring her back into the shop for the time being.

n“What is your name?” Lu Ming asked.

n“Xiaobai.”

nThe young lady raised her hand.

n“Official name?” Lu Ming asked.

n“Jiang Yuebai,” Xiaobai said in a serious manner.

n“Nice name.”

nLu Ming exclaimed. Although there was a problem with this father’s brain, at the very least, he named his daughter quite well. However, the mother must have come up with the name.

n“What did your dad say when he sent you here?” Lu Ming asked.

n“To repay his debts.” Xiaobai replied. “He asked me to listen to you.”

n“That’s all?”

n“Yes, nothing else.”

n“He asked you to obey my every word?”

n“Yes.”

n“Everything?”

n“Yes.”

nLu Ming suppressed the little commotion in his heart.

nCalm down!

nHe had to calm down!

n“Let me ask you something.”

nLu Ming said in a low voice. “Your dad…. did he pick you up from the streets?”

nThis young lady was quite beautiful and charismatic. One could tell from one glance that she was not a child from an ordinary family. That guy who caused trouble yesterday. How could he give birth to such an adorable young lady!

nAfter pondering seriously, Miss Xiaobai sighed. “I have also pondered over this question before. Regrettably, this father of mine is actually my biological one.”

nA—alright.

nLu Ming could only give up.

nHowever…

nWhat exactly was that guy trying to do by sending his daughter here?

nLu Ming could not figure it out.

nCould it be that a competitor was trying to erode his career ambitions with a honey trap? This young lady was obviously very young. It would be more suitable if she was older by a couple of years.

nWell…

nLu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

nWhat was happening?

nHe did not know.

nHowever, he was very certain about one matter. He had been used this time. However, what was the other party’s motive? What was he trying to do? He had no idea.

nCall the police?

nThat was fine too. However, before that, he had to find out who the mastermind was. Otherwise, after chasing Xiaobai away, there would be Xiaolǜ, Xiaocui etc. How could any normal person endure this, right?

nWhat if they could not hold themselves back?

nCough….

nThere was a flash of idea in Lu Ming’s mind.

nHehe.

nHe glanced at the young lady and smiled suddenly. “Xiaobai, what is your profession?”

n“I have not chosen it yet.”

nXiaobai shook her head.

nChoosing a career was a very important and serious matter. If one was not careful, it would affect his entire life.

nShe had not chosen?

nHey, hey.

nLu Ming smiled very happily.

n“Do you want to become a Card Creator?”

nLu Ming revealed a fatherly smile.

n“I don’t want to.”

nXiaobai said without any reservation.

n“Why?”

nLu Ming was shocked.

nHe had failed even before trying to fool her?

n“They’re homebodies.

nToo fat.

nToo boring.”

nMiss Xiaobai answered in a very serious manner.

nFrom the combination of these few words, it meant boring and fat homebody!

nHehe.

nYoung lady, this will not do.

nIf this was in his previous life, you would be doxxed!

nWhat was wrong with a Card Creator?

nCard Creators don’t eat the rice in your house. Why do they become damned fat and boring homebodies?

n“Hey, hey.”

nLu Ming smiled happily again.

nNever mind.

nIt was fine that she did not like it. He would feel more thrill in teaching her then…

n“Come, Xiaobai.”

nLu Ming brought Xiaobai to the counter. “Your dad asked you to work here to repay his debt, right?”

n“Yes.”

nXiaobai nodded.

n“Mmm, very good. Come, draw the lines of this Energy Card.”

nLu Ming revealed a sweet smile. “This is the basic job in a card shop.”

n“Don’t know how to?”

nLu Ming was a little disappointed. “Nevermind. Let’s change tasks. There is another basic task in the card shop. That is, to piece the card fragments together.”

nHe took out a card fragment.

nThereafter, he carefully cut it and placed the card fragment in the blank card.

nOf course.

nHe needed the draw the lines on the blank card to allow the energy to enter it.

n“Did you get it?” Lu Ming said.

nXiaobai shook her head.

nThis job seemed easy but in essence, one still needed to understand the lines!

nOne still needed to draw lines!

nThis was the work scope of a Card Creator.

n“You don’t know this too?”

nLu Ming was very disappointed.

n“What’s the use of having you?”

nLu Ming gave a deep sigh.

nHe secretly felt a kick in his heart. He had finally voiced it out!

n“I can sell the cards,” Miss Xiaobai said in a very serious manner.

n“Cough, cough.”

nLu Ming took out his cell phone and downloaded a picture from the Internet for Xiaobai to see. “Do you recognize this thing? This is called the auto card vending machine. As long as you scan to make a payment, the card will pop out. With this thing, a small shop like us doesn’t need any employees.”

n“But we don’t have it in our shop?”

nXiaobai was baffled.

n“We are going to have it,” Lu Ming said seriously. “When I am rich, I will definitely buy one.”

nMiss Xiaobai was expressionless.

n“Of course.”

n“The main point is that you don’t have it now.”

nLu Ming gave a cough. “Be it salesperson or vending machine, I don’t need them. Hence, the only thing lacking in my shop is a Card Creator!”

n“So…

nMiss Xiaobai, do you want to learn how to create cards?”

nLu Ming was full of smiles.

n“No.”

nXiaobai shook her head.

n“What is your career ambition?” Lu Ming asked helplessly.

n“Swordsman!”

nMiss Xiaobai’s eyes were filled with hope.

n“A Card Creator can become a Swordsman too!”

nLu Ming said without thinking. “See, a Card Creator can seal everything. He can seal all the techniques of a swordsman to. He can choose any career that he wants!”

n“See.”

nLu Ming searched for a pile of Swordsman cards for Miss Xiaobai.

n“One sword coming from the east…

nOne sword coming from the west…

nOne sword coming from the north…

nSee, these techniques can all be sealed!

nYou have not chosen yet. You must be hesitating or have other things that you wish for. Since that is the case, why don’t you become a Card Creator?

nYou can seal any career skills!” Lu Ming said.

n“Really?”

nXiaobai was a little tempted.

n“Of course.”

nLu Ming waved his big hands. “If you wish to become a Swordsman in the future, you just have to seal the Swordsman’s abilities, that will do! Furthermore, there are legacies, various sects for Swordsmen…

nThe Card Creator can also seal all the sects!

nIf you don’t believe me, take a look.”

nThe Legacy Card showed her the Swordsman-related cards. “This is the Spirit Sword Legacy, it mainly does… this is the Heavy Sword Legacy, it does…. As Card Creator, you can choose!”

n“Wow.”

nMiss Xiaobai’s eyes lit up.

n“Do you want to become a Card Creator?”

n“Yes!”

nPerfect!

nLu Ming was glad and he smiled.

n“Come.

nI’ll teach you how to condense the Original Card.

nFocus your mind and then condense the Original Card according to this book’s structure…”

nLu Ming brought the young lady to one side.

nIt was just that his gaze was focused on the outside of the shop.

nHe actually….

nDid not appear?!

nHe had thought that after fooling Xiaobai to this extent that Mr. Jiang would appear! After all, choosing the career should be the most important matter in one’s life?

nThat Mr. Jiang really trusted him so much?

nHe had really dumped Xiaobai here?

nThe sky gradually turned dark.

nOne day had passed and the young lady had learned conscientiously for one day.

nAfterwards…

nStill, no one came.

nSeemingly, Mr. Jiang had really dumped his daughter here!!!

nDid that mean…

nCalm down!

nCalm down!

nLu Ming was silently chanting in his heart…. Justice, Honesty, Teamwork, Friendliness… Very quickly, he calmed down. At this moment, Miss Xiaobai suddenly walked over.

n“Well…”

nXiaobai was a little puzzled. “What do I do after condensing the Original Card?”

nBuzz—

nAn Original Card that was shining faintly appeared in her hands.

nDamn!

nYou got this out in one day?!

nP.S: Young friends, please continue to read. Rest assured, when has the author ever disappointed you? ~(〃’▽’〃)

nteaching the girl the basic thing is not a secret, it is in the book.

nDude, you were a middle aged programmer, stop creeping about a 13 years old.

nHe just taught her how to condense the card, everyone can do that, nothing special was spoken about here.

n
