nInside the shop.

nLu Ming officially entered the preparatory stage.

nHe would skip the copyright and certification and go into the preparatory stage right away.

n“I will have to burn the midnight oil again.”

nLu Ming sighed.

nThis card was a determining factor as to how fast he would be able to increase to two-star!

nThis was very important.

nMoreover, perhaps it was an illusion. But Lu Ming felt that after he increased his energy level, he was able to burn the midnight oil for a longer period. Perhaps he was mentally stronger?

nAfter all, if he stayed up all night like this in the past, he would have passed away from sudden death.

nTherefore…

nIn order to become strong!

nIn order to be able to burn the midnight oil!

nIn order not to die from sudden death, he had to be able to stay up all night?

nThat damn logic!

n…

nThe next few days, he and Xiaobai kept creating cards.

nLu Ming had never expected that after teaching Xiaobai how to create the Energy Cards, the first technique that he taught her was to burn the midnight oil!

nA three-layered Composite card, in addition to an Encryption Card, the energy consumption was alarming.

n——

nCreation time: thirty minutes.

nCost price: three hundred.

n——

nLu Ming’s final results was thirty cards in one day!

nOf course.

nWith Xiaobai’s help, all the Energy Cards that he used were created by Xiaobai. From this point of view, the cost was lowered slightly.

nWell…

nIt was nice to have a disciple.

nHalf a month later, Lu Ming finally completed the first stage of preparation work.

nFifteen days, all the Energy Stones and Energy Cards had been depleted. In the end, he had a stock of three hundred cards. All of them were encrypted!

n“Right now…”

n“We can get ready to sell them.”

nLu Ming was full of confidence.

nThe price of this card…

nLu Ming hesitated for a long while.

nHow much did an ordinary one-star card cost?

nFrom tens to hundreds of yuan. It was really worthless.

nTo Card Creators who wanted to try one’s hands, this was simply to pay for the energy consumption and the blank card. Apart from that, it did not contain any techniques!

nBut his card…

nWas a hidden trump card!

nThis meant that the ordinary cultivators might each have one of it!

nThey could grow and develop it!

nThis meant that the card would surpass two-star and even be increased to a three-star level!

n“Four hundred yuan?”

nXiaobai blinked her big eyes.

nShe was aware that the energy consumption of the card was only three hundred points. Taking into account that the target audience was ordinary citizens, the price could not be set too high. They would still be able to earn one hundred yuan of creation fees if they set at this price.

n“It is true that we have to consider the target audience.”

nLu Ming believed so.

nWhat was the card’s target audience?

nCivilians!

nAfter all, they were the ones who needed to develop this card!

nSo, Lu Ming thought for a moment and set a reasonable price—two thousand yuan.

nWhat about taking into account the target audience?

n“I have already taken it into account.”

nLu Ming looked serious. “The cost price was three hundred yuan and the copyright of the technique was one thousand and seven hundred yuan.”

n“Oh.”

nXiaobai seemed to have understood a little.

n“You must know that this is a Composite Card,” Lu Ming explained.

nWhat was a Composite Card?

nThat was the combination of several cards!

nTherefore, if the card was sold, it should be Charging Card Fish Leap Card Illusion Card, and finally the Encryption Card, which essentially was the sale of four kinds of cards!

nOh, and most importantly, the Lamination Technique!

nThe Lamination Technique of the high-level card was the most precious technique!

nAll these were the most important!

nThe next day.

nLu Ming placed a poster at the entrance like the previous time and started to sell his cards!

nHowever…

nNo one came to buy the cards.

nThere were some crowd outside the shop, but no one was willing to buy the card.

nSuddenly…

n“I’ll take ten cards.”

nA figure came out from the crowd. “I didn’t bring cash. Can I transfer the money?”

n“Sure.”

nLu Ming nodded.

nWhoosh!

nThe person took ten cards with him after making the transfer.

nWow—

nThere was a stir within the crowd.

nThis…

nThe person bought ten cards?

nThe person did not have the slightest hesitation and spent twenty thousand yuan?!

n“There are two hundred and ninety cards left.”

nLu Ming was very calm.

nHe had ten less cards now!

nThey carefully looked at this card, and felt that two thousand was indeed worth it! Some of the people who had been hesitating decided to buy the card.

nAt this very moment…

nLu Ming closed the transfer page as the number displayed on it was 0.01. The person who bought the cards just now flashed constantly and turned into a round ball.

nThat was right.

nIt was Zhang Xiaopang.

nHe was hired by Lu Ming to act as the phony customer who pretended to buy things so as to lure real customers.

nSince no one dared to be the first to buy the cards, he could only come up with this tactic. However, what made him depressed was that even so, there were not many people who bought the Leviathan Card.

nHe only managed to sell five cards in one hour!

nNobody was interested at all.

n“Shall we reduce the price?”

nXiaobai was worried.

n“It’s okay.”

nLu Ming reassured her.

nHe knew the reason behind the sluggish sales.

nThis was a new card!

nFruit Ninja had great sales as people could experience it at a low cost!

nHowever, this card…

nThere was no way to experience it!

nThe Charging Card could only accept one type of energy. If many people tried it out, the energy lines and the card would crash. Therefore, he could not allow them to experience it but could only sell it!

nMoreover, this was a new card that was not certified by the Card Creators Association. They had no idea what it was and could only read the description. Why would they buy it?

nHowever…

nIt was alright.

nWith publicity and marketing, people would definitely buy it.

nLower the price?

nNo way.

n“Hey, isn’t that the man who came up with Fruit Ninja?”

nSomeone was sneering at the entrance.

nLu Ming took a glance and saw that it was the owner of Chun Pin Card Shop.

n“Is it alright for the owner to be here?”

nLu Ming exclaimed in shock.

n“It’s alright, someone is looking after the shop.”

nZhang Chun felt pleased at the situation in Lu Ming’s shop.

nTo be honest.

nHe was given a shock when he heard that Lu Ming hung a poster outside the shop. After what happened with the Fruit Ninja, he had been very sensitive about it.

nHe did not expect that he would see an empty shop with no customers.

nHahahaha!

nTo think Lu Ming would have such a day.

nMust be losing money!

nHaha.

nCough, he had to restrain himself.

nZhang Chun could not hide his smile.

n“Hey, Boss, would you like me to give you some support?”

nZhang Chun waved his hands. “Do you dare to sell me one of the cards?”

n“Up to you.”

nLu Ming could not be bothered. “One card costs two thousand yuan.”

n“It’s that expensive?”

nZhang Chun was surprised. “This must be a one-star card, and you are selling it at two thousand yuan? Even if it is a two-star card, given your price, it has to be a very good card to be able to sell at this price.”

n“Hehe.”

nLu Ming pressed his lips together, ignoring him.

n“Let me take a look.”

n“Well…”

nZhang Chun looked at the poster. “Leviathan… Oh? Is there such a creature like this? Pet Card, autonomous rearing, it can be cultivated to six-star in theory…”

nZhang Chun did not read all the contents.

nWhat was written on the poster was too pompous!

nIt was the same when the Charging Card was first sold on the market.

nIt stated that one could develop the card and it could be cultivated to a seven-star energy level in theory. But in actual fact, it would take years to cultivate it to four-star or five-star!

nIt was too much work.

nIn the end, the craze died down.

n“Work harder.”

n“Youngsters should not aim too high.”

nZhang Chun was relieved.

nHe felt refreshed and much more soothing than when he went to the clubhouse and requested for the from soup to nuts service. Gone was the stifled anger from before.

nUpon finishing his words…

nHe trailed back to his shop.

nHe took small steps and swayed about, looking smug.

n“Brother Lu, how can you tolerate this?”

nZhang Xiaopang could not take it lying down and shouted in anger. “if it were me, I will definitely smash his ass!”

nLu Ming glanced at him.

n“Uh… I mean in terms of sales,” Zhang Xiaopang said embarrassingly.

n“Don’t worry.”

nLu Ming was unconcerned. “I know what I am doing.”

nThis was only the start.

n“I have told you to get people for me. How’s it going?” Lu Ming asked.

n“All ready.”

nZhang Xiaopang patted his chest.

nHe might not be good in other tasks, but looking for people?

nIt was a simple task!

n“That’s good.”

nLu Ming smiled lightly.

nWhat was the most expensive thing these days?

nLabor!

nWhat was the cheapest thing these days?

nLabor as well!

nFor example—

nThe college students at their school.

nHe only had a few thousand yuan left. He told Zhang Xiaopang to find hundreds of college students who usually gave out fliers as their part-time work.

n“Xiaobai, you will be in charge of selling the cards.”

nLu Ming told Xiaobai to come over while he got ready to publicize the cards.

nHe had chosen the suitable place to publicize his cards.

nFor example—

nThe cultivators techniques forum!

nThis was the base camp of all cultivators.

nThis was the low-level discussion forum among the one-star, two-star and three-star cultivators.

nThis was paradise for low-level cultivators. They would discuss interesting topics or important issues concerning them.

nThere were a large number of low-level cultivators here!

nTherefore, the discussion forum was one of the most popular discussion forums.

nVery soon.

nLu Ming posted an advertisement thread on the forum. After all, he was the founder of Fruit Ninja, he should be able to attract some buyers.

nThen…

nWell…

nThe thread was deleted by the administrator.

nA—alright.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nHowever, fortunately, the traffic in the forum was very high. Some of the people had noticed the thread before the administrator deleted it. They even took the initiative to start a thread to inquire.

n“I seem to have seen a new card by the founder of Fruit Ninja?”

n“It seems to be.”

n“What could it be this time? Fruit Swordsman?”

n“No idea. It seemed to say something about a fish and its official release.”

n“It seems that they dare to advertise all kinds of rubbish over here.”

nThere were not many replies.

nObviously…

nNow that the Fruit Ninja had died down, Lu Ming became one of the ordinary one-star Card Creators again.

nNobody cared.

n“How dare they delete my thread!”

nLu Ming rubbed his head.

nNever mind.

nSoon, I will let you delete to your delight.

n…

nHalf an hour later.

nA thread suddenly appeared mysteriously. There was a title in big, black, and bold fonts—”This is awesome! A young woman from Xijing reared a gigantic Leviathan and it killed the ancient giant monster instantly!”

n
