Master of Trading Star Card Game

Xie Mingzhe stared blankly at the continuously scrolling numbers on the screen, deeply feeling his own poverty and insignificance.

When he was worried about the rent of 800 yuan and was happy to find a job with a monthly salary of 1500 yuan, in the game world, these local tyrants would actually throw tens of thousands of money into it for a small card.

I remember when he was playing online games back then, there was a local tyrant in their district who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars just to make a weapon.It is said that in many games with random equipment, local tyrants will recharge millions of dollars in order to make a good equipment.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of local tyrants in any era.Of course, there is no shortage of poor people in any era.It's a pity that Xie Mingzhe is a poor man no matter on earth or in this time and space.

He doesn't understand the world of local tyrants, so he can only follow along and watch the excitement.

The price of the card on the screen had soared to 15, and then stopped.

The host said: "One time for 15, two times for 15, is there anyone..."

Before the word "price increase" was spoken, suddenly, the number jumped again.

— 20.

— 22.

— 25.

—— 30 million!

Xie Mingzhe stared at the screen with wide-eyed eyes. It was a few thousand plus just now. Why did the style of painting suddenly change at this time?One plus is tens of thousands!

Senior Brother Qi next to him explained in a low voice: "It was just a small fight just now, and the real local tyrants are only making a move now. The attributes of this seven-star card are very good, 100 acuity, extreme double group control, plus Tang Muzhou's halo bonus, the price Definitely more than that."

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

Sure enough, the world of local tyrants is too scary.

The precious cards in this game should be the same as the top equipment in other games, especially this card is a card with perfect attributes. It seems to be justified at this price?

Xie Mingzhe sighed while continuing to watch the excitement.

At the same time, in the office of the Imperial Capital Fenghua Club.

Xue Linxiang glanced at the young man lying on the sofa and yawning constantly, and said softly: "Xiao Tang, this Ye Lai Xiang card is also your painstaking effort, the data is really good, if you don't use it yourself, you can also use it for others, why bother to use it?" It's sold." Xue Linxiang looked reluctant.

Tang Muzhou was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, his eyelids kept fighting.Hearing Sister Xue's voice, he braced himself a little bit, narrowed his eyes and said, "Changfeng, Manman, and Xiaoan are not good at plant cards, and they won't be able to exert the greatest effect on them. Why don't you find someone for this card?" A more suitable master."

When he was sleepy, his voice was low, with a hint of lazy hoarseness, which was particularly nice.

Xue Linxiang was afraid that his strange schedule would fall asleep again, so she hurriedly spoke to attract his attention: "That's right, since you don't need it anymore, instead of leaving it dusty in the card display case, you might as well find a place for it. The new owner who can love it... But, you sold the auxiliary card Ye Lixiang, have you selected the replacement card in your deck?"

"Of course." Tang Muzhou turned on the tablet optical computer, called up a card information, and introduced, "This card was also just made a few days ago, and I used a different way of thinking. Sister Xue, please take a look at its data. "

"..." Xue Linxiang's eyes widened suddenly.

The Seven Star Ye Lixiang was sold by Tang Muzhou to make use of its waste heat.However, replacing the card of Ye Lixiang, the data is even more terrifying.She believed that when this card appeared in the arena, it would definitely give Tang Muzhou's opponents a splitting headache.

"How did you make this card?" Xue Linxiang looked back, and saw that Tang Muzhou had fallen asleep with his light brain in his arms.

He has to take an "afternoon sleep" every afternoon, like a plant that has been scorched by the scorching sun, completely lacking in energy, this strange schedule is simply helpless.Seeing that he was in such a deep sleep, Xue Linxiang had no choice but to put away her optical brain, and instead of waking him up, she turned and went back to the office to check the tournament schedule just sent to her by the league.

Auction site.

The Ye Lixiang card was finally sold at a price of 66 yuan, which is almost 6 yuan in real currency, which is really 6.

After watching the excitement, Xie Mingzhe followed his two friends out of the auction house.

The summer sun shines on his body, with realistic effects, so that he can feel the warmth in the game - the surrounding temperature is just right, and the weather is also very good, but his mood is particularly bad.

Rich people can spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a card, but he is worrying about living expenses.

The gap between rich and poor is a problem that exists in any world.Xie Mingzhe doesn't hate the rich, it's his ability to be rich.He was an orphan since he was born, he could only rely on himself, and his starting point was much lower than others.

But he was not reconciled.

Unwilling to live another life, he is still a poor boy.

In his previous life on Earth, he finished college on a scholarship, and planned to find a good job after graduation and live a stable life. At that time, he was also very satisfied with that stable life.

But it's different now.

The technology in this world is highly developed, but people's spiritual appetite is extremely empty, so holographic games like "Star Card Storm" have become popular all over the world. Many players regard this game as their spiritual sustenance, and naturally countless people are willing to play in the game. throwing money away.

From the auction just now, it can be seen that a pet card "Nine-tailed Fox" with no offensive power was auctioned for 8 gold coins just because of its cuteness, and a powerful battle card "Evening Fragrance" unexpectedly The sky-high price of 66 game gold coins and 6 real currency was captured! !

If this card is given to him, it will be more than enough for his four years of university living expenses plus tuition fees!

Xie Mingzhe was extremely shocked.

He had never played card games before, and there were so many cards in the game "Star Card Storm", he thought that the price of the cards would be very cheap, so he would buy one for a few dollars and collect it slowly.Seeing those original cards selling for thousands or tens of thousands now, Xie Mingzhe has completely refreshed his world view.

Maybe he can also make a few original cards and sell them?It doesn't matter if you fail, but what if you succeed?He didn't ask for tens of thousands of dollars, even if he could sell a piece for a few hundred yuan, it would be enough for him to live a comfortable life for a few days!

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe immediately grabbed Senior Brother Qi and humbly asked for advice: "Just now I heard you say 'original cards'. If players want original cards, do they have any special requirements?"

Veteran player Brother Qi patiently acted as a commentator: "The original cards in the game rely on the player's mental strength and talent."

Xie Mingzhe nodded furiously: "Oh, tell me in detail?"

Senior Brother Qi simply dragged Xie Mingzhe to find a quiet gazebo nearby to sit down, and Sisi was also very curious to come and listen to the "veteran player's lecture".

"Mental power, to put it simply, is the ability of your brain nerves to withstand external stimuli. It can be measured in a hospital. The average person is around 200. Those who can exceed 260 can take on the most difficult and mind-consuming jobs in various industries, or go to work. The professional league of holographic games."

"..." Xie Mingzhe was stunned, how much mental strength is he?When he first woke up in the hospital, Dr. Qin asked the robot to measure him, and it seemed to be 300—yes, the robot pressed the electrodes on his temples, and the number reported after the measurement was 300!

In other words, his mental strength is still relatively high, at least much higher than the average of 200.Xie Mingzhe was a little happy, and continued to ask humbly: "Do you need to use mental power to create original cards in the game?"

"Yes." Senior Brother Qi said in detail, "The content and skills of the card depend on your mental power to create. For example, if you want to make a plant card, the card you create must be detailed, Specific to what the flowers of the plant look like, how the rhizome grows, what the shape of the leaves is, how the skills are described, how the data is allocated - the more specific and detailed the creation, the better the quality of the cards produced."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned - isn't this just like painting?

There are two ways to draw, one is to draw what the eyes see on the paper against the real scene.The second is to imagine.

For example, if you want to draw a plant, you must first outline the appearance of the plant in your mind. After the imagination is formed, you can draw the plant in your mind.A good painter can draw things that are very lifelike, and can even be confused with real ones.

For Xie Mingzhe, this is not difficult.He was a science student in his previous life, but Xie Mingzhe in this world was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts of Imperial University.

Can draw, imagine, mental power is 300, all the hardware is up to the standard, the only difference is the software.

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his hands excitedly, and then asked: "That is to say, after imagining the specific card content, use mental power to draw them on special cardboard in the game and make them into cards. gone?"

Senior Brother Qi shook his head: "This is only the first step. The more critical step is the review of cards. There is a very strict copyright protection system in the game. Your cards must pass the review of the official card database before they can be used in the game world. use."

"Copyright protection? What do you mean?" Xie Mingzhe scratched his head in doubt.

"For example, the Nine-Tailed Fox Card at the auction today has passed the review of the database, so the copyright of this card belongs to the original author, and no one else can copy it. You can't imitate it and make another Eight-Tailed Fox Card card, seven-tailed fox card, and its head cannot be changed to make a nine-tailed cat card."

Sisi nodded with some understanding: "That is to say, you can't modify cards from the deck, you can only make new cards that have never appeared in the deck, right?"

Senior Brother Qi nodded: "Well. Cards that already exist in the database cannot be regarded as original cards after simple modification, and the skills of existing cards cannot be copied directly. You must make new cards and set new skills before they can pass the system. Review. If it is a character card, the official also has a special requirement that the facial features of characters in the real world cannot be directly imported, and the characters must be created by themselves."

Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized.

This official regulation is really powerful, and it prevents a lot of people from copying cards.By doing so, the creativity of the players can be protected to the greatest extent, so as not to come up with a new idea and be plagiarized tomorrow.And character cards cannot be imported from the real world, which also prevents players from maliciously vilifying real people in the game world and installing weird skills on them.For example, if you make your classmates into cards and install a "fart" skill, that's not good.

Senior Brother Qi added: "More importantly, your card skills need to match the image of the card. For example [Ye Lixiang]'s skills Misty Fragrance and Dark Night Fall are all related to the card name. Tang Muzhou's strongest The group attack card [Millennium God Tree], the skill is [Death Stranding], and the large-scale wood-type vines strangle the phantom of the star card. The reason why his card is so strong is because the card, data, and skills can perfectly fit. "

Xie Mingzhe nodded in admiration, it seems that Tang Muzhou has a big brain!All kinds of plants are endowed with powerful skills by him.

The official card original rules are indeed very difficult.Players can't just come here blindly.In order to make the game as fair as possible, the official definitely has a professional large database and calculation formula to control the value of the card.For example, setting a group spike within 100 meters of the skill range, this kind of weird setting will definitely not be approved.

The earlier you play the game, the easier it is to create original cards because there are fewer duplicate cards.But now, Star Card Storm has been in operation for a full ten years, with so many players, all kinds of cards have already been finished by the seniors, right?Who knows if all kinds of plants, animals, and characters are included in the system card library.If you want to make a brand new card, this "creative" problem can get a lot of people stuck.

Have to make new cards that are not in the deck?What to do?Xie Mingzhe stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Senior Brother Qi said: "If you are really interested in original cards, you can go to the black market to buy some nebula paper and try to make it."

Sisi persuaded: "Fat uncle, original cards are very expensive. I have a best friend who wanted to create an original pet card last month. The material money alone cost thousands of dollars, but the last one didn't work out. , don't jump into this pit so easily!"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, I'm just interested and want to try it. If it doesn't work, forget it. I won't invest a lot of money." He doesn't have that much money to waste, but he really doesn't want to be reconciled if he doesn't try.

At least he has high mental strength, can draw, and all the hardware is up to standard. Maybe he can really make cards and sell them, which is also an income.

After making up his mind, Xie Mingzhe followed Senior Brother Qi to the largest underground trading market in Commercial Star - the black market.

The author has something to say: the original rules have been explained clearly, you can't directly copy other people's cards, you have to use your own "brain holes" to make new cards.
