Chapter 47 - Unable To Copy!
n
n
nThe sky gradually turned dark.
nLittle Lu Ming and Xiaobai counted the profits of that day.
nWell…
nOut of three hundred cards, they actually sold one hundred and eleven of them. At this rate, they would definitely finish selling everything in two days!
nThis time, the business was stable.
n“Master, do we continue to create the cards?”
nXiaobai asked in a very serious manner.
nShe had calculated in detail. Mmm…
nIf they were to stay up late tonight, they could still earn a lot of money tomorrow.
nThis was his disciple, indeed!
nShe had already mastered the essence of pulling an all-nighter!
n“There is no hurry.”
nLu Ming consoled. “It has been tough on you these few days. Have a good rest today. Let’s create the cards after your sleep. No matter how profitable the business is, we have to take care of our health!” Lu Ming said sternly.
nOne had to know. These were all based on his own experience — a hellish experience!
n“Oh.”
nXiaobai seemed to have understood a little.
n“What do we do now then?”
nShe asked, looking a little lost.
n“Let’s go.”
nLu Ming waved his big hands. “I’ll bring you to look at goldfish… Oh, wait… To eat barbecued fish. Two days ago, I found a fish barbecue shop especially for you which is not bad.”
n“Oh, Oh.”
nXiaobai was very happy.
nThe young and the ‘old’ headed directly to the third oldest brother’s barbecue shop.
nAs for the matters regarding the card, Lu Ming was not worried. Haha, be it piracy or encryption…. His card was not so simple.
nAt this very moment…
nAt the Chun Pin Flagship Store.
n“Are all of you good-for-nothings?”
nZhang Chun widened his eyes.
nIn the past, copying Fruit Ninja was slower because they could only understand it from other people’s mouths. But now? They had bought a few cards!
nThe actual cards!
nAfter some time, these guys had not neither completed studying nor understanding the card.
n“Boss, there is D Encryption set up inside!”
nThe Card Creator smiled bitterly. “I am using the professional D Encryption cracking technique. According to my experience, the earliest that I can crack it is in twenty-four hours.”
n“Too slow!”
nZhang Chun furrowed his brows.
nTwenty-four hours?
nThe Long Yellow Daylily would have long turned cold.
nFurthermore, if they needed twenty-four hours to figure this out, how much longer would it take to create this?
nThey needed time!
nEspecially…
nThere was also the Ye Zi Chain Store!
nIf the other party could quickly figure it out, they could forget about this matter.
n“What about piracy?”
nZhang Chun looked at the Illusionist who was also studying the card.
nYes.
nAs a shop owner, how could Zhang Chun possibly execute one task at a time?
nHe had subsequently gotten someone to purchase two cards quietly. One for the purpose of studying and the other for copying. If they could not fix the encryption, they should at least be able to copy the card?
n“Huh?”
nThe Illusionist looked like his mind was blank.
n“I’m asking you. How is it going?”
nZhang Chun found it inexplicable. Why was this guy so slow to react?
n“I don’t know.”
nThe Illusionist looked dumbstruck.
n“Don’t know?”
nZhang Chun frowned badly. “You have been toying with it for one day, and you tell me that you don’t know?!”
n“I really don’t know.”
nThe Illusionist smiled bitterly. “I only needed to recharge the energy to activate the illusion. After that, the fry that I rear becomes lively and starts to devour other living things… ”
n“It’s getting increasingly powerful.”
n“It has already evolved into a small Leviathan.”
n“But besides this, I can’t tell anything else.”
nThe Illusionist was also very vexed. “The illusion is very simple. There are endless oceans, some fish and number displays but nothing else.”
nHe really did not know.
nIt was because the illusion was too shabby!
nSo shabby that it made one boil with anger!
nHowever…
nIf they could really successfully rear and grow that Leviathan, they would be able to summon it!
nSomeone had already begun to try summoning it.
nAlthough…
nThey summoned an extremely small fish. According to the introduction, this was the fish seed. An ordinary fish looked like this when they had just hatched from the fish roes.
nOnly with constant evolution would they become stronger!
nOnly with constant evolution could they flaunt their Leviathan genes!
nOnly with constant evolution would they truly transform from a small fry to the extremely powerful Leviathan!
nYes.
nThe Leviathan that they were rearing would eventually appear!
nAlthough…
nThere was only one chance!
nWhat was the technique?
nWhat was the kernel?
nThey completely did not know!
nThey had never heard about this kind of card. What exactly was the technique? Could it be to open up a space and then get hold of some strong and powerful Leviathan seeds?
nNo.
nThat was wrong too.
nWhere did these constant schools of Leviathans come from…
nWhy was it that they could be summoned…
nWhy was it that they could devour the smaller fish and grow…
nWhat kind of secret technology was that?
nThey had no idea.
nOf course, he could create the illusion!
nBut, afterwards?
nWhat was the use of an Illusion with an empty shell?
nSince they could not even figure it out, they would not be able to copy it. There was a fundamental difference between this card and Fruit Ninja, that shabby card.
n“So… ”
n“Forget it that you all can’t crack this card. You can’t even make a pirated one?”
nZhang Chun’s head was exploding.
nWho was Lu Ming?
nA one-star Card Creator!
nA group of three-star Card Creators and Illusionists like all of you actually could not figure out what he created?
nHe had a feeling that he had been raising a bunch of good-for-nothings.
n“I’m done for.”
nZhang Chun sighed listlessly.
nHe knew that the profits this time would not have anything to do with him.
nMost likely, Ye Zi Chain Store was going to earn big bucks.
nHe was very clear that ordinary Card Creators would not be able to crack a technology such as D Encryption in twenty-four hours. But what if a true Card Creating Master were to try it?
nHe might be able to crack it in a shorter time!
nPerhaps…
nIt would exceed the so-called minimum time limit!
nNaturally, a small shop such as Chun Pin could not afford to engage a Card Creating Master. However, the Ye Zi Chain Store was a superstore in the country!
nIf they took actions…
nIt would be sheer pity.
nHe gave a deep sigh.
nThey would not be able to outdo them even if they studied the card!
nHowever…
nHe was unaware of something.
nAt this very moment, Qian Shengcai, the Store Manager of Ye Zi Chain Store, was also in a state of madness.
nLeviathan!
nThe first Pet Card in history!
nHow huge could this gimmick be?
nAs one who had personally experienced Fruit Ninja, the so-called first Cultivation Card, Qian Shengcai bought this Pet Card as soon as he could and tested it himself.
nIt was very powerful.
nIt was demonic.
nHis acute instinct of a businessman told him that this card would definitely be in hot demand!
nHe had long secured the approval and special rights. He had even read the discussion in the technique forums. So…
nNext, would be to pick the fruits of the labor.
nNo one would pay attention to this card now. Lu Ming was the only one selling it on-and-off and gradually. It was his best opportunity now!
nBefore this card sold like hotcakes…
nHe would figure it out!
nTherefore…
nHe got a few of the cards and engaged people to study and crack them. He had even invited a high-level Card Creator from the headquarters. However, the shocking thing was…
nThis Card Creator actually could not crack it speedily!
n“How can that be possible?!
nQian Shengcai could not understand.
nThe so-called twenty-four hours’ limit should only apply to ordinary Card Creators, right?
nEspecially…
nThis kind of rubbish D Encryption!
nAs a professional Card Creating Master who was proficient in encryption, shouldn’t he be able to crack it in minutes? One must know that even an ordinary Card Creating Master could command a minimum of one hundred thousand yuan for this job!
nIt was more costly than purchasing a D Encryption technique!
nMoreover, how much did a typical D Encryption Card cost?
nOne hundred yuan only!
nThe cost was very low.
nHowever!
nRight now!
nThis high-level Card Creator told him that he could not crack it speedily?!
nWas he kidding?
nQian Shengcai dared not believe it.
n“You must be joking, right?”
nQian Shengcai’s expression was ugly.
n“No.”
nThe high-level Card Creator shook his head. He stared at the card in his hands for a long time, and sighed eventually. “This is not D Encryption. It might be a derivative product.”
n“If we crack it according to the algorithm of the D Encryption… ”
n“We will definitely destroy the card!”
nThe high-level Card Creator was very certain.
n“How long do we need to crack it then?”
nQian Shengcai frowned.
n“I don’t know.”
nThe high-level Card Creator sighed. “It could be two days. It could be three days.”
nIf there was a large number of cards for him to test and he could ignore the dangers of destroying the card, forcefully cracking the encryption technique, he would probably be able to figure it out in one or two hours.
nThis kind of method was called violent cracking!
nObviously, this would not work now.
nTherefore…
nHe could only gradually test it and it would require a lot of time.
nQian Shengcai’s expression was ugly.
nHow could this happen?!
nHe had already prepared everything this time!
nHowever, he did not expect that this kind of card could not be cracked! Even a high-level Card Creator did not have a solution and needed so much time!
n“Boss.”
nThe assistant walked in. “Indeed, your assessment is correct. The demand for Leviathan is picking up.”
nWasn’t that expected?
nPeople were always interested in the so-called ‘first’!
nThe success of Fruit Ninja was partly because it was the so-called ‘first Cultivation Card in history’! Now, this was the first Pet Card in history!
nHe had experienced one for himself earlier.
nThose Leviathans…
nThose fries…
nThat strange speed and momentum of leveling-up were too wonderful. He was actually immersed in it.
nIt was unbelievable!
nEach time he felt bored and wanted to give up, he could hear the sound ‘Ding’ and the tips to level-up. There was also a progress bar that clearly showed your progress, constantly giving him a gauge of how much longer he needed to evolve!
nLeviathan, small Leviathan, big Leviathan, humongous Leviathan…
nThere was a clear route of leveling-up!
nCoupled with the fatal attraction of ‘Can be summoned for an attack’, this card was going to be very popular!
nTherefore…
nHe was willing to engage the Card Creating Master to crack it at all costs!
nHowever…
nIt was useless!
n“How did it turn out like that?”
nQian Shengcai was having a headache.
nThe opportunity was right before him but he could not seize it. This was the most painful part. He was clear that Lu Ming did not have the means to create cards in large-scale.
nThey were the only ones who could do so!
nCollaboration?
nThis time, Lu Ming did not even pick up his call!
nWas this guy so confident of his own encryption technique?
n“Should I really give up like that?”
nQian Shengcai could not take it lying down.
nThis was a very good opportunity.
nIt was because Lu Ming would not attain copyright or upgrade the version at such an early stage!
nThe reason was very simple. No one could crack or copy it. Lu Ming even purchased the encryption technique and specially encrypted it. Why would he disclose then?
nHe would disclose only when he had created enough cards and flooded the market with them in large quantities…
nIt did not matter anymore.
nThe upgraded version was even more impossible.
nThis was unlike an experiential card like Fruit Ninja that one could casually modify. If Lu Ming subsequently created a Version 2.0, he would definitely cause chaos in the first batch of people who purchased the Leviathan!
nEncryption…
nQian Shengcai suddenly thought of a customer that he met last time. That guy seemed to be from some Encryption Association? As such, they might be more professional and would be able to crack this card of Lu Ming?
nAt the thought of this, he took the initiative to contact that person.
n“Three hundred thousand yuan.”
n“This is a derivative of D Encryption. It had been remodeled. We will need a certain amount of time.”
n“I will fix it for you within twelve hours!”
nThis was the feedback from that end.
nThree hundred thousand yuan…
nQian Shengcai gritted his teeth.
nHe had lost a few hundred thousand yuan the last time. That had depleted all his savings. Now…
nHe would go all out!
nAt most, he would use his house as a collateral!
nHe wanted to prove those idiots wrong. He wanted to prove that this “Leviathan” that he had his eyes on definitely had the scary capability to send shock waves across the market!
n
