nQing Ming City.

nQian Shengcai received good news early in the morning.

nThe cracking was successful!

nHumph.

nWhen he got the card, as expected, the encrypted lines had been canceled. The process had been completed after going through professional equipment!

n“Come, make a copy of it.”

nQian Shengcai passed the card happily to the Card Creator at his store.

n“Okay.”

nThe Card Creator looked at the card and turned green.

nWhat the hell was this?

nThe lines…

nOh, illusion lines. They were simple. What about underneath it?

nThe fog…

nHe could not understand them at all!

nWait, this seemed to be similar to some of the card fragments that he used to study.

nHe could not understand some of the lines of those cards and he specially asked his teacher, only to realize that it was a term that was beyond this level. It was…

n“Lamination?”

nHe was surprised.

n“What?”

nQian Shengcai was stunned.

n“Lamination!”

n“The real high-level card creating technique!”

nThe Card Creator explained before saying, “This is completely out of my reach.”

nQian Shengcai was dumbstruck.

nLamination?

nHow could Lu Ming, that fellow, master lamination?

nAs a chain store manager, he had seen such cards before! Qing Ming City was not a big city. It was impossible to have such Card Creators here!

nDamn it!

nIt was no wonder Lu Ming was not worried at all!

nIt was no wonder the people from the encryption organization looked odd when they handed the cards over to him.

nDamn it. They were waiting to see how he made a fool of himself!

n“Let me think.”

nQian Shengcai was deep in his thoughts. He gripped his hair tightly until strands of his hair kept falling before he thought of a solution.

n“Perhaps…”

n…

nRight then…

nThe sales at Lu Ming’s shop was still sluggish.

nAlthough there was slightly more businesses now, the card was not selling fast. Lu Ming was not anxious. He sold the cards with Xiaobai while drawing more cards, not feeling the least bit worried.

nHe did not have high expectations. It was fine as long as the cards could be sold within a few days.

nHowever…

nAt noon, the sales of Leviathan suddenly shot up!

nSkyrocketed!

nAnd again!

nThe popularity of Leviathan shot up ten times within an hour.

n“What is going on?”

nLu Ming was shocked.

nOne must know…

nHis influence was limited. In his opinion, it was enough as long as he could reach a small part of Qing Ming City and a few hundred of them was willing to buy the card!

nBut right now…

nIt was more widely searched on the Internet than the Fruit Ninja!

nIt was scary!

nSwoosh!

nSwoosh!

nIts popularity was increasing madly.

nZhang Chun was given a fright. He was about to give up, but then he began his research again with red eyes.

nQian Shengcai was taken aback as well. It was ten times crazier than he had imagined. The popularity of Leviathan had caused a huge sensation and uproar!

nWhat the hell happened?

nNobody knew!

n“Boss, get me a card.”

n“Boss, get me two cards.”

n“Boss, get me ten new cards.”

n…

nMore and more people turned up to buy the cards.

nLu Ming had sold out all of his cards at the shop within half an hour!

nLu Ming took a long time to come back to his senses.

nWhat the hell was this?

nWere these people injected with chicken blood?

nThe Leviathan should only have gotten popular a few days later.

nHe did not understand.

nHe went outside the shop to take a look. Those cultivators were still chatting about cultivation as per normal. The entire Qing Ming City did not seem as if they were crazy about the “Leviathan” Card.

nIt had nothing to do with rearing a Leviathan.

nIn that case, what was this hot sale about?

n“Boss, get me a Pet Card.”

nOne person walked in.

n“There’s no more left.”

nLu Ming sighed. The man left in disappointment.

n“Wait a minute.”

nLu Ming suddenly asked. “Where did you get this news from? Why did all of you come here to buy Leviathan Card?”

n“I don’t want to tell you.”

nThe man was very honest.

nThere was a look of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ming.

nHell… what kind of expression was that?

nBitter women?

nIt seemed as if he had dumped him…

n“One card.”

nLu Ming glanced at him. “If you tell me the reason, I will create a card right now and sell it to you.”

nThe person thought about it before agreeing.

nVery soon.

nLu Ming created the card and passed it to him.

n“You can check out the Summoners panel and you will understand.”

nThe man whispered.

nSummoners?

nLu Ming looked bewildered.

nHe opened the cultivator forum and switched to the Summoners panel. He had a shock.

nSummoners panel!

nEveryone in the highly popular vocational panel was discussing Leviathan!

nWhat was going on?

nLu Ming looked through several threads and found out the reason.

nThings were simple at first.

nA fairly strong Summoner bought a “Leviathan” Card. He found it very interesting and posted a thread about it on the Summoners panel of the cultivator forum.

nThen…

nIt exploded!

nIt went out of control!

nIt evoked all the Summoners’ desire to speak up on the Internet.

nEspecially when they noticed that the card stated that it was the “first Pet Card in history”, and it could really summon things!

nBecause—

nThey were frightened.

nMany other Summoners bought the Leviathan Card and joined the discussion.

nIt was to the extent that…

nIndividual Summoners made a special trip to Lu Ming’s shop to buy the card. They were given a huge shock after using the card.

n“Could there really be a Pet Card in this world?”

n“If the Pet Card exists, what is the use of the Summoners?”

n“The concept of the Leviathan is similar to the summoned beast that we summoned to be our companion. The only difference was one-time usage or multiple usage?”

n“Will the Pet Card become stronger?”

n“Will there be a Pet Card that provides multiple usage?”

n…

nThere were all sorts of questions in the forum. The Summoners were at a loss. With the introduction of the Pet Card, it was a huge blow to their career!

nEveryone was in a frenzy!

nIf everyone had a Pet Card, they would have become a Summoner! There was no need for a Summoner anymore! They no longer had the motivation to cultivate!

n“I won’t cultivate anymore!”

n“What’s the point?”

n“What the hell is the Pet Card?”

n“Damn. I have just become a Summoner, and now there is the Pet Card?”

nThat day… was the day that Summoners had an emotional breakdown.

n“All of you can sell barbecued fish…”

nLu Ming looked through the threads and wrote a comment. He hesitated for a while and did not dare to send it.

nWell…

nHe might probably be beaten to death.

n“Can any big shot give us an explanation?”

n“Help is needed!”

n“I couldn’t cultivate for the entire day!”

n“Has Lu Ming rendered the Summoner vocation useless?”

n“Ah… help!”

nMany Summoners were crying for help.

nIt was to the extent that… Some legendary figures felt threatened as well.

nThis was serious.

nTheir foundation had been shaken! Their entire industry, the Summoner that ranked the top ten in the most popular vocation was dealt with a huge blow!

nHow could they keep quiet about it?

n“This won’t do. I have to go to the Card Creators Association to ask around.”

n“Me too.”

n“Owner of the previous thread 1.”

nAll of the Summoners had been into the discussion.

nThere were one-star Summoners, two-star, three-star or stronger.

nCard Creators Association, Illusion Association…

nThe group of Summoners water army decided to flood all available forums that discussed techniques with their questions. They had been posting numerous threads crazily asking for help, seeking to know the truth behind the card.

nThe number of people discussing it was shocking!

nIt was said that…

nThe president of the Summoners Association who was in retreat was alerted as well.

nHe personally sent this card to the Card Creators Association, getting his old friend to look through personally, before returning to the Summoners Association, writing a few words to pass to the association.

n“No impact.”

n“No conflict.”

n“Wait and see.”

nThe panicking Summoners finally quietened down.

nHowever…

nThe novices who just joined were still very fidgety.

nIt was not that they did not believe what the big shot said. Although the Pet Card had no impact on the Summoners industry, what about the novices?

nWhat about those low-level Summoners?

nIt was said that the Pet Card was a low-level card!

nHence…

nThe fidgety novices continued to post numerous threads on all sorts of forums. They were into crazy discussions about the pros and cons of the card, as well as the impact on the Summoners industry.

nThe craze had not died down.

nIn fact, it went wild.

nEven more heated discussions.

n“I never expected it to be this way.”

nLu Ming was between laughter and tears.

nHe had not expected that the Summoners would be involved. But come to think of it, the Pet Card he created had indeed touched their sore spot.

nHe really did not mean it!

nHowever, thanks to them and the Summoners, the “Leviathan” Card was widely discussed on the cultivators forum, and all the cards were sold out!

nThis was the most important of all!

n“It ended ahead of time!”

nLu Ming looked at the income on the account book. His heart jumped a beat as the amount was astounding.

nThere was a total of three hundred cards. Each card cost two thousand yuan. The sales amounted to a total of six hundred thousand yuan. Since he spent about one hundred thousand yuan on the creation costs, the net profit was as high as half a million. It was an alarming figure!

nThe money…

nLu Ming was slightly excited.

nThe hard work for this half a month was worth it!

nThe final profit for Fruit Ninja was only slightly more than one hundred thousand yuan.

nAnd this time?

nThe money that he invested in was already higher than the final profit of the Fruit Ninja, and he had very high returns from it.

nHe had made a lot of money!

nHe had made lots of money!

nIt was a total of six hundred thousand yuan!

nHe had never made such a large amount of money in his previous life!

nOh.

nBy the way, now that he had money, he could buy the shop first!

nLu Ming felt proud.

nHow much did this shop cost?

nHe did a search on the Internet. Well… it was located at the downtown area, the monthly rental was nine thousand yuan, and one square meter cost sixty-nine thousand…

nHe could not afford it!

nLu Ming’s inflated ego calmed down right away.

nSteady!

nHe must be steady!

nLu Ming kept telling himself to calm down.

nHe was very clear that by tomorrow, once the encryption technique had been cracked, the core mechanism of the card would be available to all!

nBy then…

nIllegal imitations… no, there was no way to stop people from making pirated copies of it!

nOnce the encryption was cracked, all they needed to do was to make copies of it. There would be Leviathan Cards all over the place. By then, he would make public its copyright.

nThis was Lu Ming’s original plan.

nWhen he could no longer make money from it, he would make public its copyright.

n“I should sell more of the cards now that it is still popular.”

nLu Ming felt energized.

nToday.

nHe decided to pull an all-nighter!

nHowever…

nJust then, there was a familiar figure at the door.

n“Brother Lu, Brother Lu!”

nZhang Xiaopang looked to be very excited. “I heard that you have sold all your cards?”

nThe word “heard” was used in a subtle way.

nPS: ‘Thank you, Yue4 Shang4 De4 Tuo1 Fu2’, yet another leader~ I will do my best to write this book! It was said that the starting point and punctuation marks do not count as chargeable words. I am very certain! The reason why I am so sure is because before, I did not write enough words… and I failed. o(╯□╰)o
