Master of Trading Star Card Game

Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe chatted while eating. There were so many topics between them that they chatted for hours without knowing it.Xie Mingzhe realized that the time had already reached 11:30, and immediately stopped the conversation, saying: "Brother, I should go back, the dormitory building will close at twelve o'clock!"

As a student who graduated from Imperial University, Tang Muzhou certainly knew the school rules, stood up and said, "I'll see you off." Seeing that Xie Mingzhe wanted to refuse, Tang Muzhou added, "It's so late, I don't worry about you going back alone, I'll see you off Back to school."

The senior brother insisted on sending it off, but Xie Mingzhe didn't refuse any more, simply nodded and followed the senior brother into the car.

Probably because it was too late, the two of them didn't meet any paparazzi reporters along the way, and Tang Muzhou sent the junior back to the back door of the school smoothly.Xie Mingzhe got out of the car, turned around and waved to him: "Thank you, brother!"

Tang Muzhou's eyes were full of smiles: "You're welcome. Go back quickly, so as not to be stopped by the housekeeper."

Xie Mingzhe nodded, quickly walked into the back door, and ran all the way to the dormitory.

Seeing him running into the school quickly, the smile on Tang Muzhou's lips deepened—this guy is really full of energy, and for some reason, every time he is with him, he will be infected by his emotions, and his mood will also be happy.

Tang Muzhou kept watching the younger brother's back until the running figure of the other party disappeared completely under the street lights, then he put away his smile, started the car and returned to Fenghua Club.

The dormitory management system of Imperial University is quite strict, and the access control will be on time at 24:[-] every night. If a student comes back later than the access control time, he must go to the dormitory management center to register the detailed reasons for going out and returning late.This kind of regulation is to prevent the young and impulsive students from playing too crazy outside, and it is difficult to explain to the parents if there is any accident.If you return late more than three times, you have to report to the school, which is very troublesome.

Xie Mingzhe hates trouble the most, so it is of course better to go back before the door is closed.

He ran all the way back to the dormitory at the speed of a 23-meter race, and finally ran back to the downstairs of the dormitory out of breath. Seeing that the time was 58:[-], Xie Mingzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. He walked into the freshman dormitory building very calmly.

23:58, only 2 minutes away from the access control time.

Fortunately, Tang Muzhou personally sent him back to school, and his physical strength is good enough, he ran non-stop from the back door of the school to the dormitory area, such a long distance, he ran there in a few minutes, and came back before the entrance guard, what a false alarm field.

Xie Mingzhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned against the wall to adjust his breathing.

At this moment, another classmate walked into the dormitory building at a fast pace.

The other party was wearing a pair of slim-fit trousers, his legs cast straight and long black shadows on the ground, and his head was neatly braided, but his body shape was clearly male... Xie Mingzhe was slightly taken aback, feeling that this The shadow of the person is very familiar.

Until the other party walked into the building, the two looked at each other.

——It was actually Qin Xuan, the mysterious roommate who had disappeared for several days.

Unexpectedly, both of them were stuck in time to come back. Almost the moment Qin Xuan walked into the dormitory, the door behind him was closed.

The sound of the door closing echoed clearly in the ears of the two of them in the dark night. The two people who were looking at each other in the hall looked at each other. Xie Mingzhe touched his nose, looking for a topic to break the embarrassing silence: "Cough, Qin Xuan, what are you doing like this?" Come back late?"

Qin Xuan said lightly: "Well, did you just come back too?"

Xie Mingzhe said with a dry smile: "I went out to eat, luckily I came back before twelve o'clock."

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and returned to the dormitory one after another. The only sound of their footsteps remained in the empty corridor in the middle of the night.

Xie Mingzhe came to the door of the dormitory and took the initiative to open the door and turned on the light in the dormitory. Under the bright light, he could see Qin Xuan's face clearly—the roommate looked very tired, his brows were slightly frowned, and there were obvious spots under his eyes. of dark circles.

I remember that Qin Xuan said that he would take three days off, but he didn't come back until a week later. Xie Mingzhe was concerned: "Have you taken care of your family affairs?"

Qin Xuan gently rubbed his forehead, his tone was flat: "Grandpa passed away, I just came back after attending the funeral."

Xie Mingzhe was startled: "I'm not very good at comforting people, you...don't be too sad."

This consolation is indeed a bit bad.Seeing his anxious look, Qin Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and said, "Don't worry, my grandfather is over 100 years old. He has been living in the hospital for the past two years relying on medicine to continue his life. This time he walked away very peacefully. Yes. For him, it may be a relief."

Xie Mingzhe nodded and said: "Well, the old man will definitely rest in peace." He has no relatives, so he can't feel the pain of bereavement, and he doesn't know how to comfort his roommate, and it seems that the roommate really doesn't need comfort.

So Xie Mingzhe tactfully changed the subject: "By the way, Professor Chen called your name in class a few days ago, and I told him that you have something to ask for leave at home, and he asked you to explain it to him when you come back."

Qin Xuan: "..."

Professor Chen has gray hair and a long white beard. He is a famous weirdo.He is erudite and talented, and he is quite well-known in the art world, but he is very serious in class, and he often calls students to answer questions. If the student who is called happens to skip class, he will directly ask the student to retake his courses next semester.The students of the art department were very afraid of him, and many of them privately called him a strange old man.

The few days when Qin Xuan asked for leave happened to be named by Professor Chen unfortunately. Fortunately, Xie Mingzhe immediately explained that the roommate asked for leave because of family business.However, Professor Chen obviously didn't believe it. After all, students who skipped classes often used various excuses of "sick leave" and "something at home", so he asked Qin Xuan to find him with the leave note.

Xie Mingzhe said: "Don't worry, you have the leave note approved by the school, he will not embarrass you. In addition, he also assigned an extracurricular homework, asking all the students to draw a picture, the color can only be green, and different greens are required Draw a sense of hierarchy and novelty, this homework will be recorded in the final assessment according to the ratio of 10 points out of [-], and it will be due next Wednesday, and I haven't finished drawing yet."

Speaking of this, Xie Mingzhe is also a little worried. It is not so easy to paint an innovative painting with only green.This painting counts as 10 points in the final exam, and he needs to score at least 7 points, otherwise the pressure of the final exam will be great.

According to the seniors and sisters, there are so many people who fail and retake Professor Chen’s course. It’s strange that the old man’s scoring is simply arbitrary. No one knows what style he likes, and Xie Mingzhe has no idea.

Qin Xuan asked: "There is no requirement for the content, but the color is limited to green, is it?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "Well, all kinds of light green, dark green, and dark green can be matched casually. Green is fine, and other colors cannot appear."

"I see. Any homework for other classes?"

"There is no homework for other classes, only this one is due next week."

Qin Xuan nodded: "Thank you. Go to bed first, good night."

The roommate turned around and went back to his bedroom, and Xie Mingzhe also went back to the dormitory to take a shower and sleep.

I'm going to be busy again recently, not to mention that there are more and more courses in school, he still has to draw character cards for himself, draw ghost cards for Xiao Ke, and then think about drawing scenes for the Nirvana Club, and the character picture that he promised his brother ... really eight hands are not enough.

**

After Xie Mingzhe was reborn, he developed a good routine. He got up on time at seven o'clock every morning, and didn't sleep in even on weekends.

It was Sunday. After waking up, he washed his face and came to the living room. He accidentally saw Qin Xuan set up an easel on the balcony of the living room, and was painting the homework assigned by Professor Chen. Xie Mingzhe looked curiously when he passed by.

Qin Xuan's painting technique is very different from Xie Mingzhe's.For example, to draw an apple, Xie Mingzhe will draw the outline first, try to draw it as detailed and complete as possible, and then paint the outline with color, even if he does not color it, he can tell at a glance that he is drawing an apple.But Qin Xuan's sketches are simply "stream of consciousness". You can't tell whether he is drawing apples, oranges, pears, or just a circle?

The sketch he drew was like a calligrapher's wild grass. The paper was covered with messy lines. Xie Mingzhe stood behind him and watched for a long time, but he didn't understand what the hell he was going to draw.

However, Qin Xuan, who was scribbling lines, looked very serious. The usually cold and serious boy showed a soft look when he looked at his painting.

The warm sunshine in the morning shrouded his body through the window screen. From the side view, Qin Xuan's facial features are actually very handsome.Generally, a man with braids would look very girly, but Qin Xuan's aura completely held this hairstyle, not girly at all, but more of an artist's unique temperament.

In the early morning, under the sun, the young man is serious about painting. This scene is really like a fragment from a literary movie...

However, the beautiful picture was soon broken, and there was a knock on the door: "Azhe, are you up, go have breakfast!"

The door was open, and Yu Ke pushed the door open and walked in. The two had breakfast together a few days ago and Yu Ke also went downstairs to the dormitory to call Xie Mingzhe.I just didn't expect that there would be more people in the dormitory today.Because of his loud voice, he disturbed Qin Xuan, who frowned displeasedly, and when he turned his head, his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to stare a hole in Yu Ke's face.

Yu Ke was stared at by him, and immediately froze in place, as if the freeze button had been pressed.

Xie Mingzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly walked over to block Yu Ke, saying: "Qin Xuan is painting, don't disturb him."

Yu Ke came back to his senses, put oil on his feet, turned around and slipped away: "I'll wait for you at the door!"

After Yu Ke left, Xie Mingzhe smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiao Ke didn't know you came back, did it interrupt your inspiration?"

Qin Xuan said lightly: "It doesn't matter."

Xie Mingzhe said: "Then I'll go downstairs to eat first, and you draw slowly."

He changed his clothes and went out. Yu Ke was waiting at the door. When he saw Xie Mingzhe coming out, he hurriedly pulled him aside, leaned over and whispered, "Your roommate is terrible. Can you get used to living with him? How about you apply?" Change the dormitory, move here and live with me! Our majors are odd, and my student number is the last one. I happen to live alone, and the other bedroom is empty."

"Isn't that good?" Although Xie Mingzhe was not used to getting along with people like Qin Xuan, he suddenly applied to change dormitories, and the school would not approve it without a reasonable reason.It can't be said that if my roommate doesn't play games with me, I want to play games with Yu Ke instead?

"Anyway... I think he's weird." Yu Ke remembered the sharp look in his eyes just now, and felt lingering fear in his heart.

"He is relatively cold, but he is not a bad person. He stared at you just now because you disturbed his painting. If you don't like him, you can send me a message directly in the future, and just stop coming to my dormitory." Xie Mingzhe didn't continue this. Topic, said, "Let's go eat first."

"Yeah." Yu Ke didn't continue talking about Qin Xuan, and said excitedly, "By the way, the customized helmet rewarded by the champion of the freshman competition is really super easy to use. I used it to log in to the game last night, and I feel that the picture is much clearer. Playing ranked in the arena, we won ten consecutive victories in one breath."

"Really?" Xie Mingzhe patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "With a new helmet, you should hurry up and practice all the trick cards. You have never used Du Liniang and Wei Zheng, have you?"

"I know, I will focus on practicing the late game with healing cards!"

The two came to the school cafeteria to have breakfast while chatting.

On weekend mornings, many students slept late, but there were not many people in the dining hall.Occasionally, some classmates passed by and would always cast curious eyes when they saw Yu Ke—Yu Ke, a freshman, won the championship and stole the limelight, and now he is a little celebrity.

Yu Ke, who was watched by the crowd, was not at ease. He dragged Xie Mingzhe to a corner to sit down, and whispered, "Last night, the management of the Ghost Prison Club approached me and asked me to join the Ghost Prison as a trainee. I refused."

Xie Mingzhe had expected this a long time ago: "You will definitely attract the attention of the ghost prison if you use the joke card. You didn't say who made the joke card, did you?"

Yu Ke immediately assured: "I didn't even mention it! However, I think they will guess it soon. After all, my Ke Xiaoke account is in the Nirvana Guild. Fat Uncle has been so popular recently. After a little association, it is easy to think of I joined Nirvana."

Xie Mingzhe said with a smile; "It doesn't matter if you guess it. Wei Zheng and Du Liniang in your deck are new cards that haven't been exposed yet. The tactics around these two cards are completely different from the Heiwuchang explosion mark. You can use them again Practice. In the future, I will continue to make new cards for you, and I had some ideas last night, planning to create a scene card suitable for assassination for your ghost card."

Yu Ke's eyes widened: "You still want to make scene cards?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, every club will have a home map they are good at, and our Nirvana can't be too shabby and always use other people's maps. I have already thought about the settings for the first scene map I made for you, and it is called— — Blood Pool Hell."

Blood Pool Hell, a dark scene card, can turn the game scene into a terrifying hell paved with blood. All cards that step into Blood Pool Hell will be tortured and lose a lot of blood every second. Moreover, all cards in the hell scene Cards are prohibited from resurrection, lest the opponent revive the control card at a critical moment to fight a wave of counter-control.

Xie Mingzhe's idea is that the scene of a lot of blood loss can quickly reduce the blood volume of the card, so that Xiao Ke's Nie Xiaoqian and Hei Wuchang can complete the harvest, supplement the lack of damage in the deck, and play fast.

This is just one of the scene cards he imagined, and he has not yet determined how to draw it.

There are also many ideas for other scenes, but I am too busy recently to spare time to draw complex and large-scale scenes. It would be great if I could find a good assistant, especially the kind of painter who is very good at drawing scenes.

Xie Mingzhe is an orphan in this world. Although he studied art since childhood, most of it was self-study. When he was young, he had no money to hire a professional teacher, and his basic skills were not particularly solid.He is good at drawing figures, but drawing large scenes is his weakness.

There are too many details to consider in the scene graph, and the scene design has a relatively high requirement for the sense of space. The scene drawn on the floor plan may not have a good effect after 3D zoom-in.Xie Mingzhe's current level is still unable to complete the drawing of large-scale scenes independently.

This is a very professional field. Even in the earth age, game scene designers are rare talents.

This matter is not in a hurry, Xie Mingzhe thought, why not look for it at the Academy of Fine Arts, if there are students who have a solid foundation and can draw large-scale scenes, they can be invited by Gaoxin to be a scene designer at the Nirvana Club.

There is a very simple way to find talents in this field - the art exhibition of the Academy of Fine Arts.

The Academy of Fine Arts will hold a painting exhibition for the whole school one month after the start of school every year. Both freshmen and senior students can participate, and put the works they think are the best in the exhibition hall, and enjoy the addiction of holding an art exhibition.

There are so many art exhibition masters in the academy, and perhaps they can find talents for painting scenes.

Anyway, it has been three weeks since the start of school, and next Saturday, the exhibition hall in the college will be officially opened. Xie Mingzhe decided to call Brother Chen to take a look at that time, maybe he can find a really good assistant!
