Master of Trading Star Card Game

Xie Mingzhe sent a message to Tang Muzhou, with an obvious flattering tone: "Hey hey hey, I didn't expect you to be so smart that you actually deduced it from a sentence I said. Did Master tell you everything?"

Tang Muzhou said angrily: "Yes, fat uncle and junior brother!"

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

It's a bit weird to be called that by him, Xie Mingzhe can only say seriously: "Let's say it first, if we meet in the future, we can't hit people with our hands. I didn't mean to lie to you. I didn't expect Lin Shen to accept me as an apprentice."

Tang Muzhou was silent for a moment, and accepted the fact that he had an extra junior in an uncomfortable mood, and his tone became calmer: "I wanted to accept you as an apprentice at the beginning, but you rejected me because you didn't want to join the Fenghua Club. You are lucky. Follow him and learn hard, don't let him down."

Xie Mingzhe became serious: "Don't worry, I will study hard."

He paused, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Does Tang Shen feel disgusted by having an extra fat uncle as a junior?"

Tang Muzhou was amused by him, and said softly: "No. Since I mentioned that I want to take you as an apprentice, I admire your talent very much. Competitiveness is not a world based on appearance, but on strength. No matter what you look like, as long as you can Prove yourself on the field and you will be recognized."

Xie Mingzhe was just joking, but what Tang Muzhou said was quite philosophical.After this period of contact, he can feel that Tang Muzhou is a very energetic person. The promotion of instant death cards changes the status quo of the league and increases the variability of tactics. Compared with many young players, Tang Muzhou has a longer-term vision.He really likes this game and has been working hard for what he loves.

Such a master is worthy of respect.

Xie Mingzhe felt that he was really lucky. He recognized Chen Qianlin as his master, Tang Muzhou as his senior brother, Chen Xiao as his teammate, and Chi Qing, Yingying, Fatty, and Jin Yue, four partners who dedicated themselves to managing the guild.

He will definitely speed up his pace and strive to reach Tang Muzhou's height one day.

Tang Muzhou followed up and asked: "I can tell you the method of cracking your deck. But I think it's better to tell you directly than to experience it yourself. The hidden card mode of the expert rank is not easy to play with this deck, and soon you will I understand."

Xie Mingzhe said: "Yeah, let me go to the actual battle." It's not interesting to get something for nothing, and he wants to summarize it by himself.

After finishing the conversation with Tang Muzhou, Xie Mingzhe discovered that Chi Qing had sent him a private message: "Xiao Xie, that Ke Xiaoke said he was a fan of yours. He just joined the guild. His specific strength and background need to be investigated. Personally let him take it to the arena, and if he performs well, I will give him a job in a few days and let him be in charge of the competition."

Xie Mingzhe thought of the clever young man who liked ghost cards, and said: "Sister Qing can handle the guild affairs, but the management of such high-level authority as the vice president should not be promoted lightly. There are many examples of the guild being disbanded by undercover agents. This person keeps saying that he is a fan of mine, but he can't believe it all."

Chi Qing said: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it."

***

That night, Xie Mingzhe didn't go to the arena anymore, but went back to his personal space to watch the previous game video, summing up his experience from the perspective of God.Tang Muzhou said that his deck has four ways to crack it, he studied it carefully, and probably came up with a few.

The open card mode of this deck is particularly powerful, but the hidden card mode is actually easy to be targeted, and it is not perfect enough.

Most players in the low-level ranks fight quickly, and rarely encounter slow-paced, late-stage soil and water decks.But he believes that he will soon meet the star card expert ranks whose general level has improved.

The next thing he has to do is to go to the arena to be abused a few times, to see the advantages of other decks, and then analyze his own shortcomings.

Xie Mingzhe summed up the harvest of the whole day, and went offline on time at twelve o'clock.

Chen Xiao was sitting on the recliner thinking, Xie Mingzhe happened to meet Chen Xiao's dazed eyes when he went upstairs, both of them were stunned, Chen Xiao quickly adjusted his expression, and asked with a smile: "How is the battle going today?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "It's very tiring to win 30 games in a row and hit a junior expert."

Chen Xiao gave a thumbs up: "It's rare to be able to win 30 games in a row and directly rush to the expert. You have such a talent, and if you practice for a while, you will definitely get good results in the Masters."

Xie Mingzhe asked curiously: "Brother Chen, if you go to fight now, you won't just win [-] games in a row, right?"

Chen Xiao said: "You can't compare with me. I played with my brother for a long time and was a professional player for a short season." He paused for two seconds, and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaoxie, help Can I help you?"

Xie Mingzhe was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Chen Xiao felt a little embarrassed touching his nose, coughed lightly after a while, and said in a low voice: "It's my brother's birthday in three days, I want to celebrate his birthday, but because between us brothers, uh... So little misunderstanding, if I go alone, he might not be too happy..."

Xie Mingzhe had already guessed what Brother Chen was going to say, and sure enough, the next moment Chen Xiao looked at Xie Mingzhe with sincere eyes: "My brother likes you as a little apprentice very much, so I want you to accompany me for a walk, take some time, we Celebrate his birthday together, and persuade him to come back when he is happy."

He persuaded alone, fearing that Chen Qianlin would be disgusted. After all, he once hugged and kissed and confessed to his brother after being drunk, but it would be different if Xiao Xie came forward. It is very tidy, and I hope that my brother can move in.

Xie Mingzhe said straightforwardly: "No problem. I should have gone to Master's birthday, but I don't know what he likes? I want to give him a good present."

Chen Xiao laughed, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes: "He is not interested in anything else, he only likes all kinds of plants. I used to save pocket money to buy plants for him every year on his birthday. In fact, there are flowers on the flower stand in this house succulents, some pots are the birthday presents I bought for him.”

Xie Mingzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He loves plants so much? Will he still give away plants this year?"

Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "I'm ready. Since you have studied art, why don't you give him a painting, it will be more memorable if you draw it yourself."

Xie Mingzhe thought it made sense, so he nodded: "Well, then I'll think about what to draw later!"

When he returned to the bedroom, he began to think about it. What should he draw?Painting a tree as a birthday present is a bit strange, and painting peonies is too gorgeous. Master's personality should prefer more elegant flowers.

By the way, four-piece set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum!

This is the favorite of the literati in the past. Many people would hang a set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in the study, known as the "Four Gentlemen" among flowers. , bamboo is a chic and modest gentleman, and chrysanthemum is a symbol of a hermit in the world.

Feeling more in line with Master's characteristics?

Thinking of the idea, Xie Mingzhe drove out with Chen Xiao early the next morning. Chen Xiao first went to the botanical garden to get the bonsai that he had ordered a long time ago. It was a small pine tree with a curved trunk in a unique shape. The green pine needles glowed under the light Soft gloss.

This basin actually costs [-] crystal coins.

Xie Mingzhe was a little puzzled, are pine trees so expensive?In the Earth Age, a bonsai with a height of about one meter cost only a few hundred yuan, and better varieties cost a few thousand yuan, and one hundred thousand yuan is too exaggerated.

Probably a rare variety, hard to find.

Not to mention the different cultures in this world, the varieties of plants and animals are also different from the earth era.Do plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum exist in this world?Xie Mingzhe thought of this, and immediately took out his optical brain to search for information on the Internet. Sure enough, there are quite a few varieties, and there are only a dozen kinds of orchids. However, there is no such thing as the "Four Gentlemen" when these four plants are combined. It is the relevant culture that is lost.

He suddenly had a thought in his mind—isn't Brother Chen going to make a plant card next month?Can you make a set of four gentlemen's plant linkage, or give these four plants new skills according to the characteristics of the four gentlemen?

Later, when Chen Xiao makes the plant card, I will discuss it with Brother Chen.

Xie Mingzhe was afraid that he would forget in a hurry, so he simply opened a memo in his optical brain and wrote down the "Event Reminder", and then followed Brother Chen to the painting and calligraphy center, where he bought a stack of paper for drawing and a complete set of brushes and paints.

He has been studying art since he was a child, and of course he has all these things, but unfortunately they are all the cheapest, and the paint has a pungent smell.Now that I have money in hand, of course I have to use good materials, and the paintings I draw will be more beautiful than before.

Making cards in the game only requires mental strength. For someone like him who has an artistic background, drawing cards is very simple, but it is a bit difficult to draw in reality. His fingers are not as dexterous as the original owner. After dropping several sheets of paper, you have to practice hard.

Fortunately, he has a clear and complete memory, plus physical memory, and the hand feeling slowly returned after an hour of practice.

Chi Qing and the others were a little shocked when they saw him suddenly draw flowers and plants.The fat man asked directly: "Xiao Xie, are you going to change your career to become a plant card?"

Xie Mingzhe explained: "As a birthday gift for someone, it would be more sincere to draw it yourself."

Everyone was very curious, so Chen Xiao pulled a few people into the living room, briefly explained why Chen Qianlin accepted Xiao Xie as his apprentice, and greeted everyone in advance, saying that Chen Qianlin would move in with them in a while.

Everyone was shocked. They never expected that Chen Xiao's brother was actually the famous Chen Qianlin...

Seeing the stunned look of the fat man, Chen Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "What? You thought my brother passed away?"

The fat man scratched his head: "After all, you look so sad, it seems that your brother has... bah bah, I'm not talking nonsense, Lin Shen is still fine, Lin Shen will join our team, I can't believe it!"

Chi Yingying was also very excited: "I never imagined that Brother Chen was looking for an expert. I used to be his diehard fan."

Chi Qing said calmly: "He lives with so many of us, can he get used to it?"

Chen Xiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said: "My brother is actually very easy-going and has no airs at all. He is very easy to get along with. You don't need to be stressed. He comes to live in the master bedroom on the second floor. He likes to be quiet. We usually stay upstairs Go to the next activity, just don't bother him."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

Upstairs, Xie Mingzhe was still concentrating on drawing. He made a few sketches first, and only started to paint when he was satisfied.

As a result, I painted all afternoon and only completed 80% of an orchid picture. Drawing in reality is really difficult, much more difficult than using mental strength in games. His fingers are about to cramp when he draws lines, thinking that he will be the master in two days For his birthday, Xie Mingzhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue painting.

The next day, Xie Mingzhe didn't log in to the game and was busy preparing gifts. Fortunately, after the feeling of drawing came back, he became more and more proficient in painting. It was not until early in the morning that he finished all four pictures of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Chen Xiao looked at his serious look, and felt very emotional. This guy is not only smart, but also very grateful.Unlike some people, who say they are good friends but are actually white-eyed wolves.Xie Mingzhe is the kind of person that as long as you treat him well, he will remember to repay you ten times in his heart. His mind is quite simple.

Chen Xiao walked up to Xie Mingzhe, patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "Your paintings are beautiful, my brother will definitely like them. But why did you draw four?"

Xie Mingzhe scratched his head and smiled: "Four photos fit into a set! Going to frame it tomorrow morning, is there enough time?"

Chen Xiao said: "It's totally in time, I'll take you there in the morning."

***

In the morning of the next day, Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe came to the Calligraphy and Painting Building together, and found a shop that specialized in framing calligraphy and paintings to match the four paintings with a simple and elegant frame of sandalwood color. .

Although the painter is still a little immature, this is already the best level he can display so far.

Chen Xiao's gift was also very thoughtful. This pot of ornamental pine tree is said to be quite precious and very hard to find. He bought it from the director of the botanical garden at a high price. He waited half a year for it to arrive, which shows how much he attaches importance to his brother's birthday.

The two brought gifts and ran to Chen Qianlin excitedly.

At the same time, there was a knock on Chen Qianlin's door.

Chen Qianlin saw the other party's smiling face from the screen, and opened the door in surprise: "Why are you here?"

The person who came was Tang Muzhou, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand, with a low and gentle voice: "Master's birthday, of course I have to come on such an important day." He handed the gift box to Chen Qianlin, "A gift for Master."

Chen Qianlin felt a little hot, took the gift box, looked at the tall young man in front of him and said, "I didn't expect you to remember my birthday, I almost forgot it myself."

Tang Muzhou smiled: "I wrote a key note on Master's birthday. I wanted to come over last year, but I happened to have a game arranged and couldn't go away. Fortunately, there is no game this year, so I asked the club for leave."

Chen Qianlin took him to the living room to sit down, ordered the robot to pour water, turned around and sat on the sofa next to him, and asked, "Didn't you participate in the individual competition?"

Tang Muzhou said solemnly: "I just won the championship last season, so it's not good to always compete with newcomers for trophies."

Chen Qianlin smiled lightly: "Why do you sound like an old senior?"

Tang Muzhou said: "All my apprentices have won the rookie award, so I'm also considered a veteran player of the alliance."

The two masters and apprentices looked at each other, feeling quite emotional in their hearts, five years had passed so quickly, Chen Qianlin already had a grandson, and he was even the one who had won the best newcomer award.He was a little curious: "Is Shen An busy with the game?"

Tang Muzhou said: "The little guy is very active and wants to go to the individual competition to win a trophy. But I guess it's pretty good. There are a lot of masters participating in this season. Although the old masters didn't sign up, among the younger generation, Ye Zhu and Shan Lan are very strong. Strong, but I still encourage Xiao An to practice more, he is still too young."

Chen Qianlin didn't know what to say.

This apprentice was brought out by him alone. After five years of precipitation, the current Tang Muzhou is no longer the sharp young man who won 50 consecutive individual competitions. He is more restrained, more stable, and more calm.

He is the chief player of the Fenghua Club. He revitalized the entire wood deck by himself, and he also fully promoted the circulation of instant death cards. Such an apprentice is enough to make Chen Qianlin proud.

The handsome young man is even more handsome than he remembers after growing up. If it weren't for the familiar smile between his brows and eyes, Chen Qianlin almost didn't dare to recognize him.

Five years is enough to make a person reborn.

But today's Tang Muzhou is fully worthy of the title "God of Tang".

Chen Qianlin was feeling emotional when Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "About Uncle Fatty, my new junior brother, isn't Master going to introduce him?"

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang outside the door, Chen Xiao's face was enlarged on the screen, and he said, "Brother, it's me and Xiao Xie."

Chen Qianlin smiled slightly, and looked back at Tang Muzhou: "It seems that I don't need to introduce you, your junior brother is also here today."

"Oh?" Tang Muzhou slightly raised his eyebrows, stood up from the sofa, and went to open the door himself.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Xiao was obviously startled when he saw the man in front of him: "Why are you here?"

Tang Muzhou smiled and stretched out his hand: "Long time no see."

Chen Xiao shook hands with him with a complicated expression: "It's been a long time."

Xie Mingzhe poked his head out from behind Chen Xiao with some doubts, just in time to meet the eyes of the strange man.

The man in front of him was very young, with a height of more than 1.8 meters five by visual inspection, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his appearance was quite handsome.The man was wearing a casual suit. It is difficult for ordinary people to hold up a light-colored suit, but it perfectly blended with his elegant temperament when worn on him.

There was a smile on his face, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but he did not make people feel frivolous. Instead, he was like a gentle and kind prince. With his deep and magnetic voice, he was the perfect first love for many girls.

However, when he met Xie Mingzhe's bright eyes, the smile on the man's face froze suddenly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, obviously his heart was extremely shocked.He looked at Xie Mingzhe with a complex expression of disbelief, and asked in a low voice, "You are Master's new apprentice... Uncle Fat?"

Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "You call him Master? Could it be that you are... God Tang?"

Tang Muzhou: "..."

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

This is awkward!

Uncle Fat is not fat, nor is he an uncle, but a handsome 18-year-old boy.
