nThe young lady left.

nShe left coldly.

n“Your master is still quite charming, right?” Lu Ming turned his head and said to Xiaobai.

nLooking at the silhouette of that lady who was leaving, Xiaobai felt a little doubtful. After thinking seriously, she actually nodded. “Master is truly very charming.”

n“Hehe.”

nLu Ming felt a little smug.

nWell, humans…

nThose damn feelings of vanity…

nThat afternoon.

nIt had been very quiet in the shop.

nXiaobai was studying the lines whereas Lu Ming was gradually collecting knowledge and information about two-star Card Creators. There were many basic concepts and he had to take some time to digest them.

nThe lines on the new card were very difficult. He had to gradually learn them.

nLu Ming loved this kind of life very much.

nCreating cards, reading, and an adorable Xiaobai. Wasn’t his life comfortable?

nHowever…

nIn the evening, Lu Ming suddenly received a notification from the association. They hoped that he could make a trip to the Card Creators Association.

nAccording to the association, they strongly condemned his behavior, saying that he was only taking money and unwilling to even register.

n“Alright.”

nLu Ming hung up the phone.

nActually, it was not because he did not want to go. He was just feeling guilty. After all, he had demolished their testing area the last time… He was fortunate not to have been recognized at that time. This time, he would most likely be in danger if he were to go!

n“My head is hurting.”

nLittle Lu Ming rubbed his forehead. “Xiaobai, look after the shop. I need to go out for a while.”

n“Okay.”

nXiaobai waved her hands.

nAfter leaving the shop, Lu Ming arrived at the Card Creators Association shortly.

nWell…

nAt the doorstep.

nCoincidentally, the manager of the testing department was on duty.

n“Crap.”

nInstinctively, Lu Ming wanted to leave.

nWhat a joke.

n“Lu Ming!”

nThe manager of the testing department was a step quicker than him. He chased him.

n“Go away!

nYou have the wrong person!”

nLu Ming shouted loudly, “If you continue to come nearer, I am going to say that you’re assaulting me!”

nThe manager started sweating badly.

n“I’ll stay put here. Is that alright?”

nThe manager said, standing ten meters away.

n“Sure.”

nLu Ming nodded. “Speak. What is the matter? I don’t even know you.”

nThe manager of the testing department had nothing to say.

nThe manager smiled bitterly. “Don’t reject me first. Our branch just wanted to build a relationship with you. They heard that we have interacted before so they sent me here… ”

n“Oh?”

nLu Ming heaved a sigh of relief. “Do I need to compensate you?”

n“No need.”

nThe manager was speechless.

nThis Card Creator comrade’s temperament was really funny. Look at his reaction speed and the agility of his back jump. It could almost match those of Energy Warriors.

n“That’s good.”

nLu Ming finally felt at ease.

n“We invited you here this time mainly to register your identity,” The manager explained, “From now on, you will be part of the Card Creators Association. You can enjoy some perks and discounts. For example, when you make copyrighted purchases…”

n“There is a discount for purchasing copyrights?”

nLu Ming was surprised.

n“Of course.”

nThe manager explained, “Ordinary members will receive a ten percent discount. Occasionally, there are promotions at twenty or thirty percent off. Of course, these offers are given only to members of the association.”

nIt was no wonder…

nLu Ming was expressionless.

nIt was no wonder that he felt that something was not quite right about the statistics for “Leviathan” at that time.

nThis was such a con!

nAll of you are much more underhanded than steam!

n“Oh, and this…”

nThe manager took out a small vocational badge.

nIn normal circumstances, there was a corresponding badge and identification certificate once vocational certification was achieved. There was an identification chip in the badge to allow for ease of identification.

nIt would be more convenient when one was outside.

nOf course, an ordinary and low-level badge was just a small plastic nameplate. However, the one in the manager’s hand…

nLu Ming took a glance.

nThis small badge was actually textured in metal.

n“This is a special honorary badge that is custom-made.”

nThe manager spoke in a low voice, “This kind of badge is very rare. Four grandmasters refined it continuously for three days to create it. It is extremely precious!”

nBuzz—

nLu Ming took the badge from the manager.

nA slight radiance emanated from its surface.

nLu Ming could even sense the energy in his body recovering more quickly.

n“This is…”

nLu Ming exclaimed in shock.

n“This is a badge that has a special function.”

nThe manager smiled, “It is also a coincidence this time. The association was furious about an independent game Card Creator leaving. It was just nice. This time, they could ride on your card to advocate the basic principles of card creation.

n“I heard that the so-called independent game card creator alliance has already dissolved.

nThis is how this special badge came about.

nThis is the highest honor that can be given to a one-star Card Creator!”

nThe manager felt very emotional.

nThe four grandmasters tirelessly worked for a few consecutive days to create such an item for a one-star Card Creator. It was enough to tell the importance that he held for the Card Creators Association.

nSo, that was the situation.

nLu Ming looked very serious.

n“You should be able to progress to a two-star Card Creator more quickly with this item,” the manager said.

n“But I am already a two-star Card Creator.”

nLu Ming shrugged.

n“Huh?”

nThe manager was a little puzzled. “You’re already two-star?”

n“Yes.”

nLu Ming felt very helpless too. He quietly asked, “So, is it possible to invite those few grandmasters again and create a two-star badge for me?”

nThe manager’s face was black.

nWhat did you take the grandmasters for? Do you think they can be summoned that casually?

nSeemingly, there was no such possibility anymore.

nLu Ming was full of regrets.

nOne-star…

nOne-star… So be it.

nLu Ming conveniently hung the badge on his body. There was a faint flow of energy and he felt very comfortable. He could tell that the quality of the material used to make this small badge was extraordinary.

nThe manager led him to the association and began to introduce to him.

nWhat was the purpose of the association?

nExchange of knowledge and information!

nCommunication!

nSupport.

nAt this place, the association could help you to handle the trifles of life so that the Card Creators could focus all their energy on card creation!

nOver here, they provide assistants, middle-men and various kinds of amazing services.

n“It is only right for a Card Creator to focus on creating cards,” the manager said.

nAfter all, a person had limited energy. The Card Creator could create better cards if they were to put aside those trivial matters by passing them to someone else to handle.

nThese were the things that the association had always wanted to accomplish.

n“Besides creating cards, they can handle everything else?”

nLu Ming was surprised.

n“We are never stingy to genius.”

nThe manager was very proud.

n“Do you also allocate wives?”

nLu Ming’s interest was piqued.

nThe manager smiled wryly.

nThis was a genius indeed. Look, even his thinking was out-of-the box.

nThe manager brought Lu Ming around twice and walked to the testing area eventually. He even deliberately stayed there for two minutes, refusing to let him leave.

n“You really don’t need any compensation?”

nLu Ming sighed.

n“No need, no need.”

nThe manager waved his hands continuously. “It is just that… ”

nHe moved closer to Lu Ming and said carefully, “Do you need to get a certification for the card that you tested the last time?”

nOh?

nLu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

nSo, it was because of this!

nHe was feeling strange why the Card Creators Association would call him here at such a late hour! The manager even specially waited for him here! Certainly, this guy must have initiated this request!

nDemolition Card…

nAfter thinking, Lu Ming really could not certify it.

nIt was not impossible.

nHe dared not do so!

nThe Demolition Card was too special!

nHow was this card created?

nIt was integrated!

nHow was it made?

nThe Lighting Original Card? Or the power of the black cat?

nTherefore…

nHe dared not even release this card! In particular, he dared not study this together with those grandmasters at the Card Creators Association.

nIt would be too dangerous!

nLu Ming clutched his head.

nHe was totally ignorant about this world and these magical forces. Before this, the only thing that he could do was to be cautious.

n“I’m afraid I can’t.”

nLu Ming shook his head. “It’s still in the experimental stage. I can’t certify it.”

n“Oh.”

nThe manager was a little disappointed.

nHe had been thinking about that card…

nAfter all, for a one-star card to cause that kind of sensation, it must be a divine card! Likely, it was definitely not below the level of “Leviathan”. Hence, he was so anxious to come over to be a tour guide. It was sheer pity…

n“Actually, it is also okay to certify… ”

nThe manager still felt a little indignant.

nLu Ming smiled and looked at him but did not answer.

n“Alright.”

nThe manager did not bring up this matter anymore.

nHe then introduced Lu Ming to other services.

nOne had to say that the Card Creators Association had everything. From the exchange of card creating information to the trifles in life, they could settle everything else for you besides the allocating you a wife.

n“No wonder so many Card Creators are bachelors for life.”

nLu Ming was filled with emotions.

n“Oh, right. Do you have a wife?”

nLu Ming was curious.

nHe was the manager of the testing branch. He should also be a Card Creator?

nThe manager’s face was black.

n“I’m very curious.”

nLu Ming asked, looking interested. “How do Card Creators like yourself who are forever alone resolve your physiological problem?”

nCould you not bring this up?

n“Also! Also!”

nLu Ming was very excited. “The illusionists can fantasize a wife for themselves. What about the Card Creators? Can they custom-make a “Girlfriend Card” or something?”

nThis Brother Lu was really petty… He could not afford to provoke him… Yes, he could not afford to provoke him.

nHe lowered his head and glanced at the time.

n“Oh no, we are going to close the place soon.”

nHe hurriedly said, “Ah, I’m so sorry. Brother Lu. Come again when you have the time. Ha.. ”

n“Fine.”

nLu Ming left with a smile.

nGo straight to the point if you wanted the certification of the Demolition Card. Anyway, I will not give you that.

nWell…

nHe was that petty.

nActually, the manager was quite a nice person. However, Lu Ming did not like him beating around the bush. He didn’t know why he had been plotted against.

nAll this while, homebodies never really liked interacting with salespeople.

nSometimes, when they were too affectionate, one would unknowingly feel a little guilty and apologetic. Hence, when the salesperson suggested spending more, one would feel embarrassed to decline. Thereafter, one would unknowingly spend a lot, only to discover that they had been conned later on. You could only simmer in your own anger then.

nOn the way home…

nLu Ming was still in a refreshed and soothed mood.

nWhen he passed by some small hotels, he could see small cards flying all over. He even saw people picking up the cards and making phone calls.

nWhat a powerful warrior!

nLu Ming gave a thumbs up!

nThe youngsters nowadays…

nThey were more daring.

nInstinctively, he took a glance at the small card that flew over. There was a pretty girl on it and a contact number below. Tsk tsk…

nWhat a familiar style.

nHowever…

nHe was stunned by just one glance of it. Why did the girl on the card look a little familiar?

nWait a minute…

nLu Ming picked it up and took a closer look.

nThis looks…

nOh.

nEh?

nLu Ming widened his eyes.

nDamn!

nWasn’t this Little Lu Ming dressed in female clothing!

n
