The Card Maker of Time Travel

When it was sunset, Gu Chen held the only four scrap cards, while Zeng Jiang, who came from a distant garbage dump, carried a small bag. Looking at Zeng Jiang's figure imprinted with the setting sun, Gu Chen thought that Zeng Jiang must have It is the person who has the aura of the protagonist.

"Why are you in a daze." Zeng Jiang looked at Gu Chen with a stupid face.Today's Gu Chenman surprised him. He didn't complain about suffering or tiredness. He just silently piled up in the trash all day. Although the results were not satisfactory, even for a novice picking up trash, it was a bad result. , but it still made Zeng Jiang very gratified. Unexpectedly, after losing his memory, his whole personality became a little likable.

Zeng Jiang pulled Gu Chen to forget to go out, "Let's go to the market to sell the waste cards first, and then go to the bookstore to pick out books."

Huh?

Gu Chen was a little surprised.He once saw online bookstores in the virtual community. In this world, the protection of intellectual property rights is very strict, and knowledge is also very expensive.A book such as Introduction to Card Master or Introduction to Card Creator basically costs five figures, which makes Gu Chen, who was once a book addict, feel a little dissatisfied.

"It costs at least 12 yuan to find a card maker to teach a class, and at least seven figures for an entry-level class. It is impossible for us to exchange so much money by picking up trash. But now that you have card making If you are talented, then buy a book and do your own research first, and think about it, and then we will study systematically when we have money." Zeng Jiang explained, probably seeing Gu Chen's confusion.

Gu Chen suddenly felt his heart warm.He felt that the only luck in this crossing was that God gave him such a good partner.Gu Chen knew that Zeng Jiang had always been reluctant to buy the books of the card master because of financial constraints, and even chose to give up the great opportunity he had because of the original owner.Feeling that his eyes were sore, Gu Chen hurriedly quickened his pace as a cover-up.

Gu Chen and Zeng Jiang walked into Sifang Market.

The Sifang Market is one of the few markets on this marginal planet. Unlike other markets, this market is built on a shallow lake, and many small bungalows similar to bamboo are placed here. On it, there are also small boats shuttling among them.Different from the noise and complexity of other markets, there are not many people in Sifang Market, and the sellers and buyers talk softly, like a quiet village.

Gu Chen fell in love with this place when he saw it for the first time. He likes this kind of comfortable and slow life, and there is a kind of joy of stealing half a day's leisure.

"Hurry up, it will be dark in the next day." Zeng Jiang interrupted Gu Chen's reverie.Reluctantly coming out of the childhood joy, Gu Chen followed Zeng Jiang into a small shop specializing in buying scrap cards.

Zeng Jiang poured out the cards he picked up today, and took out the results of the previous few days from his backpack. There were a total of 210 cards, plus the almost negligible four picked up by Gu Chen.Zeng Jiang sifts slowly on a large table in the store.

The owner is an old man, he looks very kind, and there is enthusiasm in his smile.The price of recycling in the store is not high, and Zeng Jiang is a regular customer. This young man can always bring a considerable amount of waste cards. Although the number of waste cards is not as large as that of large factories on this planet, but because Zeng Jiang It was picked up from the garbage dump, and most of the garbage in the garbage dump was transported from the central high-level planet. Among them, the materials used for the cards and the value after secondary recycling are far greater than the waste cards of this marginal planet.

The old man didn't mind at all that Zeng Jiang took his time, because he also knew that Zeng Jiang was a magic card master with a third-level mental power. This ability is not, not to mention the talent is A, and it is really rare on this marginal planet.Of course, the old man understands the pros and cons, and if he can build a good relationship with this kind of young man, maybe there will be a turning point in the future.He took a slight look at the strange young man next to Zeng Jiang. This was the first time he had seen this young man, but he also knew that Zeng Jiang had given up the cultivation of people who wanted to recruit talents for a young man.It was said that the young man was gloomy and unlovable, and he didn't even have the spiritual power of a card master. Many people felt worthless for Zeng Jiang.But what the old man saw today felt that the rumors were not true. No matter how capable this young man was, his clear eyes and bright smile were by no means the mediocre mediocrity in the rumors.

Zeng Jiang picked out 21 cards with remaining energy from the discarded cards. Among them, eleven remaining second-level and third-level cards Zeng Jiang put back in his bag, and the remaining ten cards Zeng Jiang asked Gu Chen to put away the super card and study and study it slowly.In fact, half of these ten one-star cards are cards that are difficult for a first-level card maker to repair or make. Zeng Jiang also knows that Gu Chen's F talent may not be able to use these cards at all, but he He still gave all the cards to Gu Chen.

"There are 190 three waste cards in total, 83 one-star cards, 6000 two-star cards, eighteen three-star cards, and two four-star cards. The total is [-] yuan." The old man selected Zeng Jiang. The last waste card is put into the instrument for inventory.After Zeng Jiang confirmed that it was correct, the two of them swiped the ID cards similar to electronic watches on their wrists, and the money was credited to the account.

"Go pick a book." Zeng Jiang stepped out of the door in a good mood, and Gu Chen, who knew how to put money in reality for the first time, followed in Zeng Jiang's footsteps while secretly studying the money on his wrist. ID card.

Before, he had been wondering how his purse showed a thousand dollars in cash when he was in the virtual world. Now he finally knows that the watch on his wrist is the ID card and bank card of this world.Curiously fiddled with the watch for a long time, until Zeng Jiang turned gloomy and looked at Gu Chen who was walking more and more slowly, Gu Chen hurriedly put away his curiosity and followed.

There is a large-scale bookstore in the innermost part of the Sifang Market. The entire decoration of the bookstore is very consistent with the style of the entire Sifang Market. The bookcases built with old wood and bamboo, and the lamps made of kraft paper make people who have always liked nostalgia. Gu Chen was very satisfied, but this kind of satisfaction suddenly turned into a bubble when he saw that a random book was worth [-] yuan.

Zeng Jiang carefully selected books in front of the card maker counter. His handsome face and focused eyes attracted many customers to look back.As for the user of the real book, Gu Chen, who is going to become a card maker, can only stand aside and have no right to speak.Gu Chen didn't understand this world at all, and he didn't even understand the principle of card making, so he was very self-aware and didn't open his mouth.

After several selections, Zeng Jiang chose a better version of the Card Creator Introductory Tutorial. The not-so-thick book was sold for [-] star coins, which made Gu Chen very heartbroken.Gu Chen found that the price of normal physical goods in this world is about the same as RMB, but when it comes to magic cards, it is like spending money like Vietnamese Dong.

After coming out of the bookstore, the sunset has completely darkened, and there are scattered stars in the sky, just like looking up at the starry sky when we were on earth.

"Xiao Jiang, if I can make high-level cards in the future, I will definitely leave the first one to you." Gu Chen said emotionally.

Zeng Jiang didn't speak, he couldn't bear to dampen his little friend's rare enthusiasm. F A card maker who is gifted with a first-level mental power can only become a first-level card maker under normal circumstances. As a top-level third-level card maker, if you want to take a step forward, it's not that it's difficult, but it's simply impossible.So Gu Chen's desire to make high-level cards is a beautiful dream after all.

"Since you have set your goal, you must work hard. I am very touched that you can make a card if you are lazy every day. Go back and study it carefully. Don't waste the book I bought for you." Zeng Jiang didn't tell the truth, but pretended to complain.

For the next few days, Zeng Jiang continued to work at the garbage dump, while Gu Chen was locked at home to study cards.

In this world, except for the central star, only a quarter of any planet is inhabited by humans, and the other three quarters are places with harsh conditions such as forests, oceans, and deserts that are not suitable for human survival. The most important thing is this All kinds of exotic beasts and exotic plants with strong attack power are distributed in such places, so although these places have many natural resources and treasures, many people die in them every year.The most important thing is that at regular intervals, the alien beasts and plants in the forest and sea will step out of their domains and enter the places where humans live, causing major disasters.In history, human beings were almost wiped out in a peak tide, until the first card maker appeared, who inadvertently attached spiritual power to the bark that fell from the white tree, and a particularly powerful battle card appeared. , which turned the situation around.

There are two one-star cards in front of Gu Chen, the Gelug Monster Card and the Mushroom Monster Card.

Gru is a strange bird in this world.The whole body is black and purple, and there is a circle of green hair around the neck. It is a kind of flying beast with weak attack.As the name suggests, the Mushroom Monster is a spiritual plant that looks like a large mushroom, with a dazzling golden color and two huge eyes growing on the mushroom stem.The Gelug monster card and the mushroom monster card are made by the card maker based on the prototypes of these two kinds of alien beasts and alien plants.

The two cards are the best-made cards among the one-star cards, so Zeng Jiang first helped Gu Chen pick them out and asked him to study them while reading a book.The two cards are basically cards with little attack power. The Gelug monster card is generally used to detect whether the surrounding environment is dangerous, while the mushroom monster is mainly used to detect whether there is a water source. A must-have card for entering the forest.

Gu Chen studied with cards while reading a book. As a person who came from time travel, it is really difficult to master this strange setting.So Gu Chen couldn't figure out how the protagonist in the previous novels who traveled to another world and the future could quickly get the relevant skills of a world.

"Oh, it seems that I am not the protagonist." Gu Chen thought about his fate and sighed for not being favored by the God of Time Traveling. Anyway, according to Zeng Jiang, as long as he can repair the card, he can survive starvation in this world Small and rich, Gu Chen, who has long since given up his determination to dominate the world, now wants to quickly master the skills to survive starvation.

After the card is manufactured, the specific situation cannot be judged on the card surface, only a general idea of ​​whether it is successful or not.If it is successful, the card surface will be displayed. Generally speaking, the better the quality of the card, the more light.If the production fails, then the entire card will appear black and become a so-called broken card without any use value.Of course, there are semi-successful situations, that is, although the card surface is displayed, there may be imprints, blank spaces, black stains, etc. Such cards are called waste cards.

And if you want to know the card's value, skills, etc. in detail, you need to scan it with a card presenter to present it in detail.Card renderers are very expensive and vary slightly in accuracy and detail depending on price.Generally, card presenters in card makers guilds or large companies can display specific information such as the value of life attack defense ability and skills on the back of the card, while the simplest card presenter can only be displayed on the back of the card. The front side shows basic information such as the type of card and the current consumption value.

Gu Chen, who was staring at the two cards in a daze, was drowsy, and unconsciously he felt a subtle force lingering in his mind.
