n“Let me take a look.”

nLu Ming flipped through the document.

nThe Encryption Technique was actually very common technique.

nAccording to the prologue, there were in fact a few types of encryption methods. Nevertheless, under normal circumstances, external encryption was the most common type.

nWhat was external encryption?

nThis kind of encryption method would not conflict with one’s card!

nAfter the card was created, one could cast the encryption on the card from outside. Hence, many cultivators simply purchased Encryption Cards from the market for encryption.

nIt was very intriguing.

nEncryption Cards of different levels would of course fetch higher prices.

nThere were specializations in the industry. Some Card Creators had been researching Encryption Techniques for life. The encryptions that they created was extremely power and also very popular!

nHowever, Lu Ming could only create it himself.

nThis was because he had to save money.

n“These lines… ”

nLu Ming took a glance. It seemed very simple.

nThe D Encryption Technique was the lowest-level beginner technique that was commonly used by a Card Creator. Typically, one would use a one or two-star card for the encryption.

nIt was very simple.

nFor Lu Ming now, this was not a problem at all.

nIt was just that…

nLu Ming shook his head. “I’ll get it out first.”

nThe D Encryption had a total of ninety-two lines.

nThe lines were simple.

nThe writing was structured.

nIf he were to think like a programmer, he should be able to divide it into three modules.

n1. Energy module — responsible for energy flow.

n2. Encryption module — responsible for encryption algorithm.

n3. Release module — responsible for releasing the function.

nThe first and the third segment were self-explanatory. In fact, it was the same as transferring energy and directing it for the release of the Attack Card.

nThe main point was the encryption module.

nLu Ming researched for a while and realized that these lines were still related to energy flow.

nAfter all…

nHe could sense that the feelings were similar to when there was an increase in the number of bulls.

n“So… ”

n“Most likely, these are the lines in which encryption algorithms have been added.”

nLu Ming made a guess.

nIt was because these Encryption Layers were in fact a lock. A lock that did not require opening!

nIn the situation where the lock was encrypted, you could only use the card normally. If you tried to examine the lines at the back, you might cause a full collapse!

nThe encrypted lines were the core of the encryption!

n“Get it out first.”

nLu Ming tried to create this card.

nThe difficulty level was not high.

nHe completed it very quickly.

nShush!

nLu Ming looked at his own card encryption.

nSure enough.

nThere were changes to the jet black card. Before he could feel the energy in the lines, now he could no longer feel anything.

n“It has been encrypted.”

nLu Ming understood.

nHe had learned how to create this card.

nAs long as he drew the lines according to this card, he could create an Encryption Card!

nHowever…

nWhy?

nLu Ming could not really figure it out.

nHe read the tutorial but it did not seem to tell him much. It only wrote — A deeper technique. Ironically, learning too much might affect your current judgment.

nWas it because there was a conflict in what he learned?

nLu Ming frowned.

nThis was the case with Mathematics in his previous life.

nMost of the Mathematics knowledge that he had learned when he was a child had been overthrown at university… If one was taught everything at the same time when they were a child, most likely, anyone would be confused.

nOne could only gradually pick up the knowledge.

nMaybe this was also the case for the encryption technique?

nTheir standard was too low at the moment. They could only copy and absorb the information without digesting it. That was the reason that they could not tell them too much now?

nThen…

nWhat was it that it did not wish to say?

n“This card… ”

nLu Ming looked at the card with completed encryption in his hands and the lines on the design plan. He was deep in thoughts.

nContent…

nDescription…

nLines…

nLu Ming frowned.

nHe disliked these kinds of vague feelings. Obviously, the existence of encryption was related to a high-level technique but it had been quietly concealed.

nOf course.

nTo a one-star Card Creator…

nThese skills were akin to calculus that suddenly popped out from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

nHe could not understand it at all.

nHe did not feel like understanding it too.

nHowever, Lu Ming disliked these feelings of ignorance.

nWhat could it be?

nLu Ming was deep in thoughts.

nHowever, the lines were clearly so simple. They could not possibly conceal any techniques. If they really did, it would not be possible for a one-star Card Creator to complete!

nPerhaps…

nIt did not have anything to do with the lines!

nLu Ming had a sudden realization. The most important thing about this Encryption Card was not the lines but the concept!

nThe concept of encryption!

nAnd…

nThe true concept of creating cards!

n“Encryption…”

nLu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

nIn fact, he had always been curious about this technique. Exactly how could one add the encryption lines to the back of the card without affecting the latter?

nDesign plan…

nEncryption product…

nLu Ming stroked the jet black front of the card. The encryption effect had completely covered up the original lines.

nHe could not feel anything.

nThis was the outcome of the encryption.

nTherefore…

nHow did they add these lines?

nWere they just a cover?

nWere they just like paint that could be directly layered over the card?

nThat would be very stupid.

n“I can’t figure it out.”

nLu Ming’s head was hurting a little.

nClearly, he had a hunch that he had guessed it but it was very vague feeling and he could not see through it. This was the most upsetting part.

n“Forget it.”

nLu Ming smiled bitterly.

nIt could be because he had not reached that stage yet.

nNow, his foundation for card creating was powerful but he was still a one-star Card Creator!

nHis cultivation was too weak!

nPerhaps…

nHe would be able to understand when he was a second-star Card Creator?

n“I’ll study the D Encryption first.”

nLu Ming took a deep breath.

nHe wanted to try… What exactly was the effect of this D Encryption?

nWell…

nLu Ming tried to crack this layer of encryption technique. He carefully dissipated the energy on the surface of the card.

nBam!

nThe energy was abnormal!

nThe Bulls Card was instantly destroyed!

nAll the lines had vanished. This card actually became a waste card!

nA true waste card!

n“So this is how it works…”

nLu Ming understood now.

nHence, professional cracking techniques were needed to crack it!

nWell…

nIn this case, he felt more assured.

nFurthermore, this was only the beginning.

nThe D Encryption was certainly trash but Lu Ming was very curious… If he were to integrate seven cards that were D encrypted, what would happen?

nThis was what he wanted to try!

nBuzz—

nHe tried to integrate two D encrypted cards.

nThere was no change in the lines.

nLu Ming took a glance. Seemingly, it was just pure quantitative evolution. Hence, it should be the lines of the encryption algorithm. It was just that it had become a little more complicated.

nThere was not much use!

nContinue!

nThree cards, four cards, five cards… until the moment where he integrated seven cards.

nShush!

nLights flashed.

nThe card was transforming!

n“It’s coming.”

nLu Ming’s eyes lit up.

nSure enough.

nHe had guessed it right!

nAfter he filled up the Lighting Original Card, the lines changed!

n“Let me see.”

nLu Ming was filled with expectations.

nThe lines were still the same. The encryption lines seemed to have become a little more complicated but it did not change drastically. However, a layer actually appeared on the surface of the encryption!

n“Eh?”

nLu Ming was a little puzzled.

nWhat did it mean by another layer appearing?

nYes.

nIt was very strange.

nClearly, this was a simple front of the card. Clearly, this was just an Original Card.

nHowever…

nLittle Lu Ming could clearly feel that there were two layers like a multi-storey building. What appeared this time was actually a line structure that was similar to a two-storey small building.

nWhat the hell was this?

nLu Ming was a little puzzled.

nClearly, there was only one layer of card surface. How did it construct a spatial structure?

nWait a minute.

nThe front of the card…

nSecond layer…

nLu Ming’s pupils shrank suddenly. He finally knew the concept represented by the Encryption Card!

nSo, that was the case!

nLu Ming was amazed.

nHe had thought of countless possibilities but never thought that it would be this!

nRight.

nOnly this kind of concept could perfect the card!

nOnly this kind of concept could explain everything!

nAll this while, he had a doubt…

nThe surface on the front side of the blank card was so big. A few hundred lines was the limit. How did it accommodate ten million lines? Intersection of lines? Three-way intersections?

nOne would not be able to input all the lines with any technique or mean!

nAt this point in time, he finally understood.

nThis was a brand new card creating technique — Card Layering!

nIf the front of the blank card was the foundation, he could superimpose this kind of technique and create a real high-rise building!

nThe higher the level of the card, the more the layers!

nThis was the profound secret of the high-level cards.

nBut now…

nThis small Encryption Card was using such a technique!

nYes, the so-called encryption was basically adding a new layer on top of the basic lines on the card to cover it!

nHowever…

nIt was very smart. It could be executed via casting. No one had realized that! However, it was completely exposed in Lu Ming’s Lighting Original Card!

nThe integration of the Lighting Original Card had turned one layer into two!

nIt had become double encryption!

nLu Ming saw it very clearly.

n“So, that was what happened.”

nLu Ming completely understood now.

nIt was no wonder he felt that this was so familiar!

nIt was because this was the layering that Lu Ming had seen Photoshop!

nLayering…

nCard Layers…

nIt was so ingenious!

nLu Ming simply knew it too well!

nOne must know…

nIn the past, he had learned two years of Photoshop skills in order to woo his little junior sister in the school. He had the standard of transforming a pie face to a small V shaped face using Photoshop!

nIt was a pity that there were only slightly over fifty female students out of the two thousand students in their Science and Engineering Faculty. There were too many wolves but too little meat. He could only give up.

nAfter graduation.

nWhen he was prepared to show off his skills, the craft that he had painstakingly mastered had been eliminated by the beauty cameras. He remained single.

nUnexpectedly…

nHe could put it to a good use here!

n“Card Layer… ”

nLu Ming was very emotional.

nWow—

nThe limit of his mind had been broken.

nIt was no wonder…

nThey would cover up these matters.

nTo an ordinary one-star or two-star Card Creator, they could not even understand the lines on the front of the card, let alone this kind of superimposing skill?

nTrue enough, this was the calculus in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!

nThis was a high-level technique that far exceeded his current stage. At the very least, it was four-star and above!

nThis…

nThis was a true-blue high-level technique!
