nChapter 53: Overtaken On A Bend!

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

n“It seems that Brother Cat does not like this.”

nLu Ming could only give up.

nThis was the only way he could think of now.

nWell…

nForget it. He would leave it to fate.

nHe looked at Xiaobai who was working hard at the far corner and he felt a sense of urgency.

nXiaobai had been making huge progress. From the looks of it, she would surpass him anytime. If he did not work hard to cultivate, he would be doing himself in.

nIt was time to increase his level!

nLu Ming was stressed.

nThe next stage was to become a two-star Card Creator as fast as he could!

nHe was too weak.

nHe knew very well.

nPerhaps, compared with those cultivators like Zhang Xiaopang, who belonged to the refugee category, he was considered good enough, but other than refugees, there were other stronger cultivators in this world!

nHow did students from formal colleges fare in terms of ability?

nHow did students from key colleges fare in terms of ability?

nThere was also The First Academy that his sister was in!

nHis peers were far stronger than him!

nHe had to become stronger.

nThis was beyond doubt.

nHow to improve?

nMoney!

nLu Ming would need a lot of money to fill up the gap if he wanted to catch up with the cultivators of the same stage, or to become stronger, or to become a cultivator with a higher level!

nHe had to pay money for resources in order to improve and surpass!

n“Right now, my energy level is at three hundred and forty points.”

nLu Ming had a mental check of his current ability.

nThe highest cultivation speed of the Demolition Card was to increase one hundred points of energy every day. If he wanted to become a two-star cultivator, he would need at least seven days!

n“It is sufficient.”

nLu Ming took a look at the remaining money in his account.

nHe had enough of his slow cultivation speed. Right now, he would become part of the krypton gold gang!

n“Come on.”

nLu Ming had the least hesitation.

nToday was the reason why he had been working so hard for?!

nOn the day itself.

nA larger number of resources arrived.

nLu Ming went into a crazy cultivation mode. His energy level began to soar.

nFour hundred points!

nFive hundred points!

nSix hundred points!

n…

nAmazing speed!

nLu Ming’s energy level had been increased to nine hundred and ninety points within seven days. He could feel that the energy pool in his body seemed to be overflowing, and he could no longer increase in energy anymore.

nHe had reached the bottleneck.

nThe way to break through was very simple—break through by force!

nThe changes between one-star and two-star cultivators were merely the difference in the upper limit of the energy level. There was no difference in the quality. Therefore, it was easy to break through!

nThat was only a layer of film. It would open with slight poking.

nCultivation!

nDash!

nLu Ming broke through successfully after three to five tries!

nEnergy level of one thousand points!

n“Success!”

nLu Ming was thrilled.

nHe could feel that the energy space in his body had become extremely large at this moment. The energy that overflowed initially only took up a small space now.

nHe had broken through!

nTwo-star Card Creator!

nHe had succeeded in establishing a new upper limit for his energy space!

n“I am a two-star Card Creator now.”

nLu Ming was filled with emotions.

nTwo-star was a very magical stage.

nTake their college for example, two-star cultivators would be able to graduate, leave college and join society.

nOf course, Lu Ming was very clear. To real cultivators, two-star was only the beginning.

nOne-star was the entry, they were novices at the innocent stage.

nTwo-star was the foundation, it was the accumulation of energy.

nThree-star was to become stronger, it was the transformation of ability.

n“Three-star…”

nLu Ming took a look.

nHaha. It was no wonder that two-star was the foundation and the accumulation of energy. One would need ten thousand points of energy to go from a two-star to a three-star. It was ten times that of the one-star!

nHe wondered how much money one had to pay to get the resources?

nLu Ming began to do some calculations.

nIt cost him one hundred thousand yuan to cultivate every day and to increase one hundred points of energy daily. On average, he would need to spend one thousand yuan on resources to quickly increase his energy level by one point.

nWell, if he needed to reach ten thousand points of energy…

nLu Ming calculated and felt a jarring pain to his teeth. Ten million! Given his ability now, he would need ten million yuan to quickly turn from a two-star to a three-star!

nIt was a shocking figure.

n“It was the price for overtaking on a bend.”

nLu Ming was filled with emotions.

nWhat did three-star mean?

nThe teachers at Lu Ming’s school were only at the three-star level!

nEven for those formal colleges, their graduation requirement was to reach three-star.

nThree-star cultivators were the middle power in the society. They were active in all classes of society. There were people whose goals in life were merely to become a three-star.

nIf he wanted to reach this stage right now?

nHe would have to pay money for resources!

nOf course.

nOther than paying money for resources, there were other shortcuts.

nFor example—

nEngaged in battles, adventures and fights!

nExplored the ruins!

nAll types of Mystic Realms!

nThis was what the battle cultivators usually did.

nLu Ming gave up on such deceptive methods right away. It was too dangerous. He was a Card Creator! No two-star Card Creator would go out everyday to engage in fights!

n“Let’s take things slowly.”

nLu Ming decided to take a leisurely pace.

nTo become a three-star, there was a long path ahead of him. It was useless to be anxious.

n“There are some more profits to be made from the Leviathan.

nThey would need to stock up the cards, purchase the design plan, hire high-level Card Creators and more. All these need money. Therefore, I estimate that the final price would be at around one thousand yuan.

nIf I do it myself…

nThe cost can be kept at a very low price, while the profits will be significant.

nLu Ming calculated in his mind.

nHe believed that the “Leviathan” would still be able to bring about a certain amount of profits for the time being. Therefore, he would concentrate on creating the cards and earning money for now.

nHe could earn money while cultivating in a high speed, and experience what it was like to be a two-star Card Creator. It was perfect.

nWhat was the difference between one-star and two-star?

nMore energy.

nFaster recovery.

nHe could use more cards!

nPreviously, due to the limit in energy level, Lu Ming could only use the lowest-level cards. Right now, as his energy level had increased, he could finally use some two-star cards.

nThis was very important.

nThis meant that he could learn more techniques.

n“If I have stronger techniques…”

nLu Ming thought to himself, perhaps he could create better Cultivation Card?

nYes.

n“Demolition Card” could no longer satisfy him.

nIt was not only because of the cultivation speed, it was also due to the depletion rate of resources! His energy consumption was not that huge, after all—

nCreating cards would be equivalent to cultivation, the energy would not go missing!

nTherefore, all the resources would eventually turn into the Demolition Card that Lu Ming held in his hands.

nThat was what happened!

nHe had accumulated two hundred Demolition Cards after seven days of cultivation!

nEvery card cost three thousand five hundred yuan on average!

nThe cost was already ten times higher than “Leviathan” Card!

nAnd these…

nCould not be sold.

nTo whom? A construction company?

nWell…

nAlthough the effect was great, he supposed they would not buy the card which cost more than three thousand yuan each.

nIt was not value for money.

nThey could easily use a bulldozer or demolition machinery.

nTherefore, Lu Ming’s main goal in the future was to create a qualified Cultivation Card—

nA card that he could cultivate in real sense, and to use and sell. In that case, it could fulfill the self-cycle of cultivation!

nThere would also be fewer chances of him spending too much energy to advance to the next level or to pay money on resources.

nHe had good cultivation speed, but he needed to improve his efficiency!

nEfficiency…

nLu Ming looked at the Demolition Card.

nHow could he increase the efficiency of the Cultivation Card?

nPerhaps…

nHe could integrate them again?

nLu Ming raised his eyebrow.

nPreviously he dared not test it out as the energy consumption would be too high!

nSince he could not use the Demolition Card, what was the use in creating higher level of Demolition Card? It was meaningless apart from a waste of resources. But right now… perhaps…

n“Let’s try to integrate.”

nLu Ming felt energized.

nHe had nothing to worry since he had more than two hundred Demolition Cards!

n“Come on.”

nLu Ming began to integrate.

nFirst card, absorb!

nSecond card…

nWell…

nThe lines had become more complicated.

nThe third card, fourth card, fifth card…

nLu Ming watched as the lines became complicated. However, the change was only reflected in the core data, the overall outlook did not change until he reached the integration of the seventh Demolition Card!

nBuzz—

nLights were surging.

nThe lines had changed totally. A new card had emerged.

n“It’s coming!”

nLu Ming was full of anticipation.

nWhat would happen now that he integrated seven Demolition Cards?

nWell…

nHe had learned his lesson from the previous experience. He took a look at the front of the card first.

nLu Ming felt dazed. What the hell was that now?!
