Chapter 40 - Can’t Afford to Provoke! Can’t Afford to Provok

n“Brother Cat, I love you!”
nLu Ming gave the Original Card a hard kiss.
nHaha.
nHe had figured it out!
nSometimes, widening horizons was a matter of moments.
nFor example—
nThe moment that your weapon strengthens after failing and shattering thirteen times.
nFor example—
nThe moment that your girlfriend gets into the BMW of a rich tycoon.
nBut now…
nIn Lu Ming’s eyes, the card creating technique were so transparent.
nLayering…
nCard Layers…
nThe concepts in Lu Ming’s knowledge were overlapping now.
nWith the Card Layer concept, Lu Ming could see not only the simple double encryption but also more high-level card creating concepts!
nThere was still a difference between the Encryption Layer and Card Layer!
nWhat was the Encryption Layer?
nIt was the layer that was encrypted on the front of the card.
nThat was all.
nIt was only a cover, a brush of one layer. It was independent. Hence, no Card Creators would link it to the Card Layer.
nWhat about Card Layer?
nThat was the real superimposition!
nOne could possibly build a high-rise building from it!
nOf course.
nThe Card Layers of high-level cards also needed to be superimposed and connected!
nHow to connect?
nBy stairs!!
nThis was the hardest part!
nIf one wanted to create high-level cards, meaning, create a two-storey building, there had to be stairs!
nThen…
nWhat was stairs?
nLu Ming looked at the double encryption on the Original Card, feeling both glad and grateful.
nAt this juncture, the Encryption Technique was already not the main point. The appearance of the double layers meant that these two layers of encryption were connected. It meant that…
nThe stairs could be seen now!!!
nIn between the two layers of encryption, one magical line ran through both layers!
nThis was the stairs!
n“I actually touched this aspect?”
nLu Ming was stunned.
nCard Layer!
nConnected!
nThis was the scope of high-level cards!
nIn general, only four-star and above Card Creators were eligible to touch this!
nBut now…
nLu Ming had done it.
nHe believed…
nIn his journey as a Card Creator, although he was still a bronze-level rookie, he had already possessed the consciousness at the ruler-level!
n“I cannot be impetuous and rash!”
n“I cannot feel smug!”
n“I have the consciousness but I have to catch up on my standards.”
nLu Ming said to himself.
nHe was clear that the Card Layer and Connecting Techniques had appeared but he needed a powerful control technique and strong foundation in line drawing to truly master them!
nHe might really be lacking in these.
nThankfully…
nHe had the Original Card.
nWhat was the advantage of being a teacher?
nImparting knowledge!
nTransferring concepts!
nA teacher had to explain and analyze such things that were hard to understand, to make it as simple as possible so that the students who did not have the knowledge could master them.
nBut for Lu Ming?
nHe had already achieved mastery of the Card Layer concept through a comprehensive study of the subject!
nWhat he needed was the technique!
nWhat he needed was the foundation!
nAnd these…
nEven the teachers had no way to help.
nThey could only make you practice constantly and strengthen and improve continuously!
nThat was all.
nEven the techniques purchased from the Card Creators Association or Internet, which came with ‘design plan, detailed explanation, summary of important points and expert reviews etc.’ were complete sets of meal. According to the level of the experts, these technique set meals came in varying prices.
nWhy?
nThis was because they could not feel it for themselves!
nThey could only explain!
nThey could only explain through many aspects to make you understand!
nIt was akin to the Fruit Ninja.
nWhen those people plagiarized him, they could only understand the details from others. According to these description and explanation, they created the pirated Fruit Ninja!
nAnd these techniques…
nIt was the same logic!
nCould the teacher impart it to the students?
nThey could only explain!
nThereafter, from lights and shadow, sound, concept to various aspects, they would let you understand and know the function of these lines as well as the meaning that each line represented!
nThis was the process of learning a technique!
nHowever…
nLu Ming did not need this at all.
nIn the past, the gave up on the teacher’s pointers not because he was arrogant.
nBuzz—
nThe Original Card in Lu Ming’s hands was suspending in mid-air.
nIn the Original Card, each and every encryption line was very clear.
nWhat was the advantage of the Original Card?
nOne could feel the energy flow process in every line!
nBuzz—
nEnergy flowed through from the first line.
nLu Ming focused and felt the process of the energy flow. In this process, he could clearly feel the speed and density of the energy.
nAll these were most important!
nNo matter who explained it, it would not be clearer than experiencing it himself.
nYes.
nHe did not need that!
nHe could figure it out and understand the concept.
nIn terms of technical aspect, the Original Card was the best teacher!
n“Come on.”
nLu Ming was filled with expectations.
nShush!
nIt flowed through the first layer of line. It was no different from the previous one.
nThen…
nThe flow of energy had finally reached the connecting part!
nHere.
nHe could clearly see the drawing of this line. On a flat surface, it drew out a three-dimensional effect. It moved to the second layer from the first!
nIt opened a new card layer!
nHence, as long as this line was drawn successfully, followed by two-dimensional drawing, it would reach the second layer!
nBuzz—
nLu Ming could feel the flow of this energy personally.
nBuzz—
nThe energy flowed through.
nLu Ming looked a little puzzled. The connection had been built and the second layer had appeared. A layer seemed to have been added to the front of the card and everything below it had dimmed.
nA new layer had appeared!
nHe could draw the lines now!
nHowever, Lu Ming did not manage to see it clearly.
n“That was too fast!”
nLu Ming adjusted again.
nOnce, failed.
nTwice, failed.
nThrice…
nThis one line that looked simple was in fact extremely difficult.
nThe speed, width and density of the energy that flowed through this line seemed a little complicated. There were even some angles. It was difficult to figure it out.
nLines that were similar to energy traffic junction were two-dimensional. Hence, it was easy to draw. However, this kind of card layer connection were more akin to Space Layer Technique!
nIt was very difficult.
nNo matter how good one’s line foundation was, it would not work!
nThis was also why it would become the hallmark of a high-level Card Creator!
nWhat to do?
nLearn!
nLu Ming could only feel and draw it repeatedly.
nShush!
nShush!
nHe was penning and copying it continuously.
nLike this?
nLike this?
nOr perhaps, like this?
nHowever, he kept failing!
nBuzz—
nBuzz—
nEnergy flowed and he kept trying.
nThis was a very amazing learning process.
nTo Lu Ming, it seemed like he was solving a complicated Olympiad Mathematics question. He could only calculate and try repeatedly to get the answer.
nOne day, two days…
nTime passed quietly.
nLu Ming seemed to have forgotten the time. He was rampantly studying.
nIn these two days.
nIronically, Xiaobai was the one taking care of him.
nPrecisely, just as what the principal said, Xiaobai’s survival skills was really very strong…
n“This…”
n“This…”
nLu Ming was still ‘possessed’.
nSuddenly…
nAt a particular moment where the energy flowed through, his whole body shivered. As if he had been electrocuted, he could feel that strong gush of intriguing feelings.
nIt was smooth and effortless!
nSeemingly…
nLu Ming reminisced that feeling.
nShush!
nHe wrote without any hesitation.
nOn the front of the card.
nOn that ordinary blank card, a twisted staircase appeared, extending to another brand new layer. The original lines had been quietly covered.
nThe second layer!
nThis was the technique of the second layer!
n“Done!”
nLu Ming was stunned. He felt elated immediately.
nSuccessful!
nHe had actually studied it successfully!
n“Try it.”
nLu Ming was emotional.
nHe took out an Energy Card. First, he drew the lines of an Energy Card in a serious manner. If there was no hiccup, this was a standard Energy Card!
nHowever…
nLu Ming did not complete the drawing for the Energy Card.
nInstead, he drew an mystical line at the part whereby he was supposed to finish. A strange feeling appeared in his hands. The front of the card had changed!
nAll the lines of the Energy Card had turned grey!
nThere was a misty feel!
nOn that misty layer, one could actually still draw lines!
nBrand new lines!
n“This was lamination!”
nLu Ming exclaimed in shock.
nSo, this was the truly powerful card creating technique!
nMysterious.
nBizarre.
nExtremely powerful.
nLu Ming was excited.
nOne must know. This was the true-blue high-level skill!
nIt was different from the basic skills of energy intersection. This represented the hallmark of a Card Creator who was four-star or above!
n“I really… ”
nAt this moment, Lu Ming’s brains were hot.
nHe was too emotional!
nHow did it feel to figure out calculus in primary school?
nNow he knew.
nCool!
nToo cool!
n“Who should I look for to brag… share?”
nInstinctively, Lu Ming wanted to share his joy. He opened his address book and saw the name Lu Yan but he did not have the courage to call her.
nThat one…
nShe seemed to be at the level where she had figured out calculus when she was in kindergarten?
nWho else could he share this with?
nLu Ming looked up and sighted Xiaobai, who was a distance away.
nWhat about her…
nForget, he could not afford to prove her.
nShush!
nLu Ming’s impetuous mood actually calmed down every quickly.
n
