Master of Trading Star Card Game

After finishing the new cards of the "Water Margin" series, Xie Mingzhe rested for a few days to sort out Nirvana's card group and the next card making ideas.He has already made a lot of character cards, and there are still some materials that can be saved after the individual competition and the double competition start, and then made according to the card groups of other clubs. He wants to put another thing on the agenda in advance-adding the fairy race card type.

When he first made cards such as Taiyi Zhenren and Taishang Laojun, because the official card library did not have the category of "immortal", he did not want to classify these mythical characters into the "God Cards" created by the pantheon, so , In terms of the attribution of card types, he temporarily set these cards as "human" to facilitate the review of the database.

At that time, he had an idea that in the future, when he was famous enough, strong enough, and the cards he designed could attract the attention of the officials, he might apply to the officials to add the category of "immortal" to the card group.

Star Card World has a high degree of openness and freedom, which provides Xie Mingzhe with a fertile soil to fully display his fists. He is confident in creating a brand new category of "fairy".

It’s not that he is arrogant, there are many new genres created by some players before, for example, Gui Sirui added the horror-style "ghost card", Liu Jingxu created the "monster clan" with the ability to change forms, Pei Before Jingshan, no one made "Gu insect" cards, and when the Temple of Gods did not make mythical cards such as "Lucifer" and "Michael", there was no category of "God Cards" in the card library.

Putting cards such as Taishang Laojun and Songzi Guanyin together with Lucifer and Michael as "divine cards", Xie Mingzhe always felt that they were neither fish nor fowl, because there was a big difference between Western gods and Eastern immortals, and he wanted to create myths for himself Legendary characters add a new category of "immortal".

The star card library has been expanding, and the official encourages this aspect.However, if you want to add a category, it is not as simple as making one or two cards alone.Xie Mingzhe didn't know much about the review rules, so he sent a video to ask Tang Muzhou: "Brother, if I want to add a new card type, how should I apply to the official? What conditions do I need to meet?"

Xie Mingzhe has a flexible way of thinking about making cards. He has already made a lot of character cards, ghost cards and some monster cards. Tang Muzhou never expected that he would have a big brain and add new categories?

Looking at Xie Mingzhe's serious eyes in the video, Tang Muzhou knew that he was not joking, and asked curiously: "Haven't you always made character cards, ghost cards and monster cards? Why did you suddenly think of adding new categories? These three categories Cards can't satisfy you?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, I think the new species is called 'Fairy Clan'. Although the appearance is not very different from humans, they can fly around in the sky, and they have all kinds of powerful spells. Skills, it doesn’t feel right to design them as human beings, I still have a lot of cards of this type to do next, so I want to simply apply for a new category.”

A "fairy" flying around in the clouds and fog?

Tang Muzhou found this idea quite interesting.

He has always been 100% supportive of A Zhe's career. Seeing that the person he likes is working so hard, he certainly won't pour cold water on him, and gently encouraged him: "You can really try your idea, apply for a new card category, you need to submit a well-reasoned application form to the official. But the prerequisite is that the number of new category cards you make must reach more than 30."

"30 cards?" Xie Mingzhe counted the fairy cards that had been made before in his mind. Taishang Laojun, Taiyi Zhenren, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Queen Mother, Fuxi, Shennong, etc., are far from reaching 30 cards. quantity.But it doesn't matter, China has a 5000-year civilization, and there are countless gods. It is not difficult for him to collect 30 cards to create a new category.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "I understand, as long as you make 30 cards that have common characteristics and have passed the official database review, and give sufficient reasons, you can create a new category, right? ?”

"Yes." Tang Muzhou raised the corners of his lips slightly, and explained patiently, "This official regulation is also to prevent some designers from randomly making four or five cards and applying for adding new categories, causing the card classification to be messed up. 30 cards is the most basic requirement, when Ling Jingtang created the weapon deck and Gui Sirui created the ghost deck, they both met this requirement."

"Well, they are indeed very good." Xie Mingzhe admires the strength of these players very much. As a latecomer, he can learn a lot from the experience of his predecessors.

"Wait a minute, I'll help you ask for an application form for reference." Tang Muzhou said, and quickly sent a message to Pei Jingshan: "Xiao Pei, send your application for adding a Gu insect card group to the official." Let me know."

"What do you need the application form for?" Pei Jingshan was very confused, but he quickly figured out the reason, "Is it for Xie Mingzhe?"

"Well, my guy has too much brains, and character cards can't satisfy him anymore, so he wants to create a new card category." Tang Muzhou's tone was obviously proud of "the person I'm looking at is really powerful".

"..." Pei Jingshan didn't know what to say.Can't character cards satisfy Xie Mingzhe?Want to create a new category?I don't know how the players of the major clubs will react when this news is made public?Anyway, he only felt a headache, a terrible headache!

"I'll look for it and send it to your email address." Although it was a headache, Tang Muzhou took the initiative to ask him for the application form as a reference, and Pei Jingshan didn't want to refuse it pettyly. It was no secret.

It was the second time Tang Muzhou asked him for an application form. The first time was when Xie Mingzhe was on leave of school.

Tang Muzhou seldom asked for help since he was a child, but he asked his friends for help many times because of Xie Mingzhe. Pei Jingshan felt emotional. It seemed that this friend was serious about Xie Mingzhe.However, he was even more curious about what new card category Xie Mingzhe was going to create?So he asked casually: "What category does he want to create, can you disclose it?"

"I'll ask him." Tang Muzhou turned around and asked Xie Mingzhe if he could tell Pei Jingshan. Xie Mingzhe said generously, "It's just a category. It's okay to tell Team Pei. Anyway, I haven't finished the card yet, and it's just in preparation."

"Well, he said it was a fairy card." Tang Muzhou replied to Pei Jingshan, "The kind that rides the clouds and flies in the sky, has many spell-like skills, and is somewhat similar to the god card in the temple of the gods, but the style is too different, so He wants to do new categories."

"..." Pei Jingshan rubbed his temples vigorously, "If the people in the temples know this news, their faces will turn green, right?"

"Don't tell it." Tang Muzhou warned, "The only ones who know about this are you and me, except for those who are in Nirvana."

"Understood." Pei Jingshan is not a talkative person, he just suddenly had some expectations, if in the first round of the playoffs, Nirvana happens to face the Temple of the Gods, it will be a proper "god" and "immortal" fight, It must be wonderful!

***

Pei Jingshan's application form gave Xie Mingzhe a lot of help.

The writing style of the top students from prestigious schools is quite good, and the seniors who graduated from the philosophy department are particularly clear in thinking. They analyze the characteristics of Gu Chong cards, the meaning of existence, and the differences from other cards one by one, and list all 30 similar cards produced.

It was still the seventh season, and Pei Jingshan actually found a new way to make so many weird bugs. When encountering a player like Pei Jingshan, the condition of intensive phobia patients would probably worsen.

Xie Mingzhe also found that adding a new card type not only meets the basic requirements of 30 cards, but also must explain the common characteristics of the cards of this race - for example, the common characteristics of ghost cards are that they are all undead, have no entity, and have the ability to be invisible Strong; Yaozu cards can be deformed; Gu insect cards are characterized by small size, most of the original forms are insects, and have the ability to split.

The official way of classifying cards is a bit like the classification of xx phylum and xx class in biology—they are all divided according to the characteristics of animals and plants, which is quite reasonable.

What kind of racial characteristics should be designed for the fairy race?

Xie Mingzhe thought carefully for a moment, and sorted out a few common points——

First of all, the fairy race is similar to the human race in appearance, but after becoming a fairy, they will have a long life span of tens of thousands of years, stay away from disease and pain, and their appearance will not change over time, which is very different from human beings The difference; secondly, the immortals have boundless mana, can ride the clouds, fly in the sky, and can use various spells to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, so they can attack at will from long-range and melee without being restricted by natural science...

As for why not belong to the Protoss?The reason given by Xie Mingzhe is that "the style of painting and the background story are hugely surprising, and the application is independent of the category of fairy clan outside of the god clan."

According to the way Pei Jingshan wrote the application form, Xie Mingzhe listed the basis for the new card types one by one.

After writing the preliminary application form, he continued to design new cards based on common characteristics.

Most of the card types in the alliance have distinctive features. For example, the monsters transform at any time, and the ghost cards are all pale and terrifying. You can tell what kind of card it is just by looking at the appearance-he wants the "fairy card" he made to also have a very distinctive character. features.

In order to be clearly different from humans, all the fairy cards he plans to make in the future will be full of fairy spirit.The settings of the fairy cards made before can also be modified to add elements such as mist, clouds, and Buddha's light that echo the identity of the "fairy clan". etc.

Xie Mingzhe took a few days to revise all the immortal cards he made before, and even the ancient creation gods Fuxi, Shennong, Nuwa, etc. also added elements symbolizing immortals.

Simple image modification does not require manual review. The database judges that Xie Mingzhe is the original author, and these minor adjustments will be passed directly. Therefore, the official data experts do not know that the headache-provoking Xie Mingzhe is planning a wave of bigger moves.

After changing the images of all the fairy cards, Xie Mingzhe started to design new myth cards.

In the selection of material, he first aimed at it.It is the well-known series of myths and legends——

The eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.
