nChapter 54: The Things About Burial Mounds

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nOn the card’s surface.

nThe scene was just as desolate.

nIt was just that this time it was no longer empty hills. There was a stick on it. A rag was hung on the stick. It looked like diapers that had not been washed cleanly.

nAnd then…

nThere was nothing more.

n“What does this mean?”

nLu Ming felt slightly nervous.

nHe could not tell anything from this image!

nThat rag…

nLu Ming looked at it for a long time.

nOh, it did not seem like a diaper. There seemed to be some kind of symbol on that rag. It was like a religious symbol. Perhaps it was some kind of flag?

n“The flag on a b-burial mound?”

nLu Ming could not understand what this meant.

nWait a minute…

nJudging from what happened with the Demolition Card last time, the flag on the burial mound seemed to be the outcome after the card was released? However, what ability had a burial mound with a flag as an outcome?

nOr perhaps…

nThere was something similar?

n“Let’s do a search.”

nLu Ming thought about it, searching on the Internet.

nHe typed the word “burial” into the products library…

nShush!

nThere were a number of weird results.

nBurial Mound Disco Dancing card set: make the dead had fun with you!

nBurial Mound Drift card set: the indomitable Mount Haruna spirit!

nBurial Mound Bathroom Infrared Heater card set: cast light on dark hell!

nBurial Mound Happy Drink: make love even though one partner is dead!

n…

nLu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.

nWhat the hell was this?

nTo hell with it!

nThe most terrifying thing was that some of the products had been purchased. He subconsciously looked at the review: “It was not bad. Grandpa said that he quite liked it.”

nWas that family that scary?

nHe checked, the review seemed to be for Happy Drink…

nGoodness!

nThe grandpa was amazing!

n…

nLu Ming closed the web page with a blank face.

nWell…

nHis gaze returned to the new card.

nA—alright.

nSince the last Demolition Card, he realized that it was no longer viable to tell the effects of the card from the card surface. He would not know anything unless he created the card?!

nHe would not be able to tell the most basic things!

nThis was such a con!

nCould it be that all high-levels cards are like this?

nLu Ming was doubtful.

nHe checked the energy requirement of the card.

nWell…

nTen thousand points!

nIt was three thousand points more than seven cards together!

nThis meant that Lu Ming would not be able to use this card for a long time. He could only use it as his Cultivation Card to increase his energy level.

nThis was a standard three-star card!

nLu Ming finally understood.

nHe seemed to have some ideas.

nInitially, he integrated the Brutal Charge to become the Bulls Card. That was a one-star Energy Card and its energy requirement was very low!

nAfter he integrated the Bulls Cards to become the Demolition Card, that was a two-star card, the energy requirement was as high as one thousand points! This was the lowest energy level of the ordinary two-star cultivator!

nBut right now…

nThe new card required ten thousand points of energy!

nThis was the lowest energy level of three-star cultivator as well!

nTherefore…

nUnder normal circumstances, the card that he had was a standard three-star card!

nIt was not only a three-star card, it was also one of the more powerful cards among the three-star cards. Normal three-star cards would not consume so much energy!

nNo one’s energy consumption was that high?!

nIn general, the lowest energy consumption for one-star cards was fifty points, two hundred points for two-star cards and one thousand points for three-star cards cards.

nAs for his cards…

nBulls Card!

nWas it possible that one-star consumed three hundred points of energy?!

nDemolition Card!

nIt was absurd that two-star consumed one thousand points of energy?!

nAnd the new card…

nHehe.

nLet’s not talk about it.

nThe crazy energy consumption meant that these cards could only be used as hidden trump cards.

nThey were too powerful!

nToo extreme!

nIn essence, when one used these cards, one would be depleted of all energy.

nUndoubtedly.

nAll of them were top-notch cards!

n“Let’s not think about it.”

nLu Ming rubbed his head.

nSo be it that it was a three-star card. Although the consumption was huge and far beyond a normal three-star card, and there was no way to use it, he could still use it as a Cultivation Card.

n“I hope you are a qualified Cultivation Card.”

nLu Ming turned to the back of the card.

nWell…

nHe looked at it with a blank face.

nGoodness!

nHe could not understand them at all!

nAs someone who learned calculus by himself, Lu Ming was still quite proud of his ability to learn without any teacher to guide him. After all, no one-star cultivator could pick up “lamination” by themselves!

nHowever, looking at this card, Lu Ming took a long time to come back to his senses.

nThese…

nWhat the hell was that?!

nWell…

nThere were the energy input lines where the energy would go into the card, then… He could not understand the rest… oh, this was the intersection lines where the energy would divert to different paths. After which… he could not tell… Oh, was this a three-way interlace? All the energy came together at this point, and then… he could not understand the rest.

n→_→

nLu Ming felt sad.

nThe lines were still lines and the strokes were still the same strokes. But he could not understand when they were being put together.

nHow should he say it?

nFor a moment, he felt as if he was a foreigner who was learning Chinese!

nVertical strokes, horizontal strokes, left-slanting downward strokes and downwards-right concave strokes…

nWhy did they become different words when put together?

nThis was what happened now.

nIt was just that with many basic lines, they looked even more scary. The combined lines techniques seemed even more complicated.

nOne…

nTwo…

nThree…

nLu Ming scanned the lines. There were at least twenty-eight different basic card creating techniques. They were intertwined together in a complex manner, looking menacing.

nWhat else could he say?

nThat it was indeed a three-star top-notch card?!

nActually, it was.

nUnder normal circumstances, even if it was an ordinary three-star Card Creator, he would not be eligible to come into contact with three-star top-notch card. Only high-level Card Creators were allowed to handle them!

nBut right now…

nLu Ming had just reached two-star and he had the chance to handle this top-notch card.

nHe must master it!

nHis card creating skills would definitely be able to improve tremendously.

nLu Ming was determined.

nOf course.

nBefore that, he had to buy some serious reading materials regarding the basic foundation.

nThis card contained a lot of techniques. At the very least, Lu Ming should know their names as well as its function so that he would have a better understanding.

nOh.

nHe would need to understand some basic concepts as well.

nHe could consider going to school, after all there were specialized courses for two-star Card Creators in school…

nHowever…

nLu Ming thought about it and decided not to go.

nA waste of time.

nThe teachers in school were dedicated to their lessons. They would go into details in order to cater to the learning needs of all the students. They would explain every doubt and question.

nTo genius like Lu Ming, it was simply a waste of time.

nBesides…

nThe school might not have many materials regarding two-star techniques!

nTo a school that only required students to reach two-star to graduate, there would not have many two-star courses.

nWell…

nHe should self-study!

nHe took a look at the remaining funds.

nAfter increasing to two-start, he had about three hundred thousand yuan left. He used fifty thousand yuan to pay for six months of rent. He could make good use of the remaining money.

nLu Ming checked through the relevant documents.

nHe bought some books according to the recommendations. “Lines Optimization”, “Introduction to Two-star Cards”, “Basic Upgrade Concepts”, “Cards Structure” and more.

n“Xiaobai, you can read these books when you have time.”

n“Okay.”

n“These contain very important basic knowledge. A Card Creator must know all of this. You will come to use this knowledge very soon. Tell your dad about it later and get a reimbursement for the expenses.”

n“Okay,” Xiaobai agreed obediently.

nLu Ming was very satisfied.

nLook, what a good disciple!

nIn the afternoon.

nAfter buying the books, Lu Ming began to read through them.

n“Oh, does Master need to read them as well?”

nXiaobai was shocked.

n“Well, after all I have to teach you. I will need to review them.”

nLu Ming was very calm.

n“I see. Master, way to go.”

nXiaobai raised her small fist to cheer for her master.

nLu Ming felt guilty.

n“Boss, get me one Leviathan Card.”

nThere was someone at the door.

n“Coming.”

nLu Ming handed the card to the customer.

nSince Leviathan was still fairly popular, his business was still doing well. Most of the shops had standardized the price for the time being after competing with each other previously.

nRight then, he had another customer.

nLu Ming raised his head and was thrilled. The customer was the junior sister who confessed her love to him the previous time! She was the real person that Xiaopang modeled his inflatable doll after!

nTsk tsk…

nIf the young lady knew about it, would she give Xiaopang a beating?

n“Hello,” Lu Ming greeted her.

nThe young lady stared at him quietly without a word.

n“Uh.”

nLu Ming clasped his forehead.

nOh, could it be due to her previous confession? That was right. He was dashing. Although he did not give her a reply, she had yet to give up on him.

n“I’m sorry.”

nLu Ming felt awkward.

nThe young lady shook her head.

nShe stared quietly at Lu Ming before fixing her gaze on Xiaobai.

n“Yes?”

nXiaobai noticed her gaze and raised her head.

nWhoosh…

nThere seemed to be a gush of cold wind.

nThe surrounding air turned icy cold.

nOh? A misunderstanding?

nLu Ming scratched his head.

nIt seemed that the adorable young lady was here to woo Lu Ming. But then she realized that Lu Ming was cohabiting with an even more adorable young and cute girl…

nThe idea seemed thrilling. It was no wonder she had misunderstood.

n“Are you here to buy cards?”

nLu Ming looked at her.

nHe felt that it did not matter whether there was a misunderstanding or not. If he did not have feelings for her, it was better to be clear about it so that she would not harbor any hopes.

nThis was showing respect for the other party.

nThe young lady nodded.

n“Come.”

nLu Ming passed a “Leviathan” Card to her.

nThe transaction was completed.

nThe young lady stared intently at Xiaobai before she left.

nShe had indeed misunderstood.

nThe young lady should be more rational. Xiaobai was only eleven or twelve years old. Even if he wanted to woo her, he had to wait two years. It was ridiculous to misunderstand them!
