Divine Card Creator-Chapter 409 - A Rare And Ruthless Man!
409 A Rare And Ruthless Man!
Tian Du City.
Journalists flocked to the Sword Card Master Association.
“”Hello, why did you create the Sword Card Master Association?”
“Hello, what inspired you to create the Fruit Ninja Cards?”
“Hello, what inspired you to create the Leviathan Card? It is said that a basketball star has sued you, is it related to this card?”
“Hello, what is the secret trick to having good looks?”
Journalists were excited as they stopped Lu Ming who had just returned.
“I was born with good looks. Thanks.”
Lu Ming picked one of the simplest questions to answer and rushed into the association, panting profusely.
It was too scary!
The questions asked by the journalists were usually insidious.
Therefore, Lu Ming chose to answer the easiest question. The question about his looks was the easiest to answer. He had been well-known for it.
Well…
He returned to the association.
Xiaobai came towards him obediently.
“Master.
“Have some tea.”
Xiaobai handed him a cup of hot tea.
“How’s the flight training going?”
Lu Ming smiled.
“Many of them are disobedient.”
Xiaobai furrowed her little brows.
It did not go as well as she had hoped!
There would always be some disciples who would instinctively ride their cards… After which, after seeing the strange and mysterious lights, the passersby would shout that they saw holy lights… Heaven knew what had actually happened! In the end, they were charged and fined 404 yuan by the police officers for ‘affecting the cityscape’…
That was annoying!
To put it bluntly, a card was not a ride. Since a ride was large in size, for example the big bird of the Big Bird Association, it was comfortable to ride on it. However, it was not the same for an Original Card!
Card Kinesis Flight was only meant for one to step on the card and fly!
However…
They said that they were used to riding it at night. However, Xiaobai wondered where they rode the card…
Humph!
That was definitely an excuse.
“Then continue to deduct their points.”
Lu Ming was very calm.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai nodded obediently.
She noticed that her master was busy with work again. She carefully went back to her room and opened the mysterious guide, looking at the second method.
Well…
Maintain a good relationship with the people around the target.
Eh?
Xiaobai suddenly felt sad.
People around Master?
Who is that?!
She instinctively looked toward Xiao-Xiaojian…
M-maintain a good relationship?
…
At this very moment…
Lu Ming was in the conference room discussing the follow up of the [Cloud Talent] Card with Li Haoran.
The sales of the [Cloud Talent] Card had brought in many funds to the Sword Card Master Association. For every card sold, one part of the sales would go to the Sword Card Master Association!
Now that they had the spirit body department, their algorithm was more than one year ahead of others…
Yes.
There was no way others could catch up with them!
“Keep it up.”
Lu Ming reminded him. “We can set up a talent card department for them to continue to advance and do research on the algorithms, as well as operate and maintain the servers.”
“Understood.”
Li Haoran looked serious.
If the [Cloud Talent] Card was handled well, this would be a steady source of income!
This would naturally be left in the hands of the professionals.
Well…
There was one more problem left.
“Master.
“Those reporters out there…”
Li Haoran said gingerly.
“Let them be…”
Lu Ming sighed.
What could he do in this situation?
If those people were hostile to the association, he could send them away anytime. However, they were there to interview him and they kept praising that he had unrivaled talents and was very gifted. What could he do? He could not possibly send them away just because they were telling the truth.
That would be rude!
Furthermore…
They would not leave without interviewing him! Lu Ming even saw that someone had already camped at the gate of the Sword Card Master Association…
That was damn dedication!
A—alright.
It was impossible to put things off and wait for them to leave. In that case…
“Let Zhang Yang deal with it,” Lu Ming said.
“Are you sure?”
Li Haoran wiped his perspiration.
He had the feeling that if Zhang Yang dealt with it, things would go out of hand!
“It won’t.
“This time they are here to interview us, what else could happen?”
Lu Ming laughed involuntarily.
Hence…
Ten minutes later.
Zhang Yang came out in a wheelchair.
“Hello, journalists!
“Welcome to the Sword Card Master Association. This time, I will definitely…”
Zhang Yang was in high spirits. This time, he was representing the Sword Card Master Association during interviews. However, he had just reached the entrance when he was pressed down onto the ground by a black figure…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The reporters were shocked!
The Sword Card Master Association was taken aback!
What was going on here?
Someone wanted to intercept the black figure. However, he was just about to go forward when the figure fled after beating up Zhang Yang. He was too fast and nobody could catch him…
Lu Ming looked at him from afar and was dumbstruck. Given his speed, did he think that he was the Flash going into the bridal chamber?
At this very moment…
The disciple who was nearest to Zhang Yang hurried forward to help.
“Sir!
“Sir, are you alright?”
One disciple held on to Zhang Yang and shook him fiercely.
“It’s…
“It’s the Elementalist…”
Zhang Yang finished his sentences in bits and pieces.
Bam!
His head slanted to the side and he passed out.
“Sir!”
The disciples carried him away in fright.
The reporters looked at each other, but were soon excited. Elementalist!!! Wait a minute, that was the association that competed with Lu Ming over the cards!
Hence…
Many stories came out.
“This Is Shocking! Wind Elementalists Association Failed The Talent Card Competition and They Actually Resorted To Doing This!”
“Under Everyone’s Gaze! A Fight Broke Out Outside The Sword Card Master Association!”
“Outrageous! How Dare They Fight At The Entrance of The Sword Card Master Association! What Was The Reason Behind It?”
…
And so on.
Various news stories appeared.
Of course.
These were the approved headlines.
Somewhere.
A reporter was angry that his report had been rejected. “Boss, why won’t you publish my report? We can’t fall behind!”
“Take a look at your headline!”
“Shocking! The Sword Card Master Association’s Head of the Publicity Department Was Beaten Up On The Street!”
“What the hell is this headline?
“Look it up. Do you know how high the repetition rate is?”
The boss was furious.
Eh?
The reporter was dazed. He did a search on a search engine and was shocked to see that there were hundreds of news articles saying that the Sword Card Master Association’s head of publicity department was beaten up on the street…
Yes.
There were different places, different angles, and different thugs.
The only thing that remained the same…
Was Zhang Yang who was being beaten up!
Ys, no one would be interested in that kind of article anymore…
The reporter was speechless.
Damn! What kind of people were they?
Were they being beaten up everyday?
…
On the web.
Now that the Talent Card and Lu Ming were very popular, people made use of this opportunity to criticize the Wind Elementalists Association. Some people even took out the assignment list of the Wind Elementalists Association!
Hence…
The Wind Elementalists Association who had just extricated themselves from a predicament was in a crisis again.
“What have you done?!”
The headquarters were furious.
“I didn’t do anything!”
The president of the branch at Tian Du City felt wronged.
This time…
This really had nothing to do with him!
“Did you send anyone to beat Zhang Yang?”
“I didn’t!”
“What about the assignment list?”
“That was from before.”
The headquarters were pissed.
Damn it!
Why would he publish a list to beat people up for no reason?
Given the sensitive situation, now that the assignment list was revealed, everyone would definitely not believe him!
“Are you really innocent?”
The people from the headquarters said through clenched teeth.
“I didn’t do anything!”
The president of the branch at Tian Du City was very firm.
He was really innocent in this matter!
They had finally resolved the issue. Who would be so reckless to stir up trouble so as to be widely discussed by others again? Furthermore, it was in front of so many reporters. He must be crazy to do that!
“Then we’ll deal with it.”
The headquarters were serious. “Stay out of it.”
“Understood,” the president of the branch at Tian Du City replied weakly.
So many things had happened and every time he was interrogated about what happened.
He was certain of one thing.
The higher-ups had something against him…
However…
What could he do about it?
It turned out that other than himself, there was someone else who wanted to beat up Zhang Yang!
Even if Zhang Yang stayed in Tian Du City, did not leave the city, and stayed in the vicinity of the Sword Card Master Association, there would still be people who beat him up to vent their frustrations!
Why was he so in need of a beating?
…
Right then…
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming and the rest arranged for Zhang Yang to stay in the ward. They glanced at each other. Zhang Yang had just spoken to them and was fine, but the next instant he was being beaten up…
And the interview…
To hell with the interview!
He was beaten up as soon as he went out!
“Where are the reporters?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Gone.”
Li Haoran had a solemn expression on his face. “I told them that since there were enemies hiding among the reporters, we could not accept the interview and hence they left.”
Now, the Sword Card Master Association was prepared for battle. Under such circumstances, the reporters would definitely not join in the fun.
“Find out who did it!”
There was a murderous intent in Lu Ming’s eyes.
It was another thing if Zhang Yang had been beaten up elsewhere. However, he was beaten up by someone outside the association!
Who gave them the guts?!
This time…
He was not only going to capture the thugs but he was also going to find out the mastermind behind it!
Zhang Yang woke up at this time.
“Are you okay?”
Lu Ming asked out of concern.
“P-president.”
Zhang Yang was in a trance.
Sigh.
Lu Ming’s heart ached at the sight of him. Look, he had turned silly from the beatings! Unlike their own people who would go light on him when they beat him, these people were outsiders…
When Lu Ming hired people to beat him, he would specify not to beat his head…
“Don’t worry.
“I will seek justice for you!”
Lu Ming was certain.
“No need.”
Zhang Yang waved his hands.
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Ming took a deep breath and said in a low voice. “I will definitely find out who the mastermind is. This time, I will certainly seek justice for you!”
This was his promise.
In the past when Zhang Yang was being beaten up, he suspected that it was done by their own people…
Cough.
It would be difficult to find the culprit.
Besides, Zhang Yang indeed needed a beating.
And this time?
At the entrance of the association!
It was a shame for the Sword Card Master Association!
Lu Ming, Xiaobai or Li Haoran would never do that!
Therefore, he had to do a detailed investigation this time and seek justice for Zhang Yang! He had been working very hard for the Sword Card Master Association recently!
“No need, no need.”
Zhang Yang was flattered.
He was surprised.
This was true.
In the past when he was being beaten up, he was not given such a treatment…
Why was it that everyone was so concerned for him this time?
Cough.
“You should have a good rest.”
Li Haoran comforted him. “We will make the necessary arrangements.”
Why was Zhang Yang being beaten up?
It was due to the Sword Card Master Association!
And…
The Elementalist that he had mentioned… It was also because of him that Zhang Yang was beaten up. Li Haoran felt somewhat guilty about it and hence he felt that they had to bring an end to it!
This started because of him. How could the innocent be implicated?
“There is really no need to do that.”
Zhang Yang was teary-eyed.
They did not treat him in this way in the past.
“Don’t worry.
“The police will be able to help.”
Lu Ming sneered. “If we do not send these bastards to jail, they will think that the Sword Card Master Association is a place for any Tom, Dick and Harry!”
“No need.”
Zhang Yang panicked. Seeing that Lu Ming was about to report it to the police, he said weakly, “Well, Lu Ming, the thug… In fact, I hired him.”
Shush!
The sick bay was silent.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Li Haoran was speechless.
Damn it!
He hired the thug?!
They looked at Zhang Yang with an incredulous expression on their faces.
Cough, cough.
Zhang Yang coughed. “Didn’t you say you want to make the reporters go away? This is why I thought of this solution, so we could cause another sensation… Oh, our popularity that had gone down before has increased again! Moreover, we can make things difficult for the Wind Elementalists Association. I heard that they are in deep trouble… Haha… Ss—that’s painful.”
Zhang Yang got more and more excited and he accidentally touched his wounds.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Li Haoran was speechless.
The two of them glanced at each other and were shocked. To think there was such a ruthless man?!
Therefore…
Damn it! He was the one who had stirred up the trouble! For some unknown reason, seeing how smug Zhang Yang was, they suddenly had the urge to beat him…
Damn! What kind of person was he?
→_→
…
Right then…
This incident was widely discussed on the Internet.
Everyone was talking about Lu Ming, the Sword Card Master Association, the Talent Card, Zhang Yang who was beaten up and the Wind Elementalists Association.
However…
Lu Ming and the rest maintained a low profile.
The entire Sword Card Master Association was very busy. They were getting ready for the second stage of their work—testing!
Yes.
For the Sword Card Master Association, the launch of the [Cloud Talent] Card had come to an end, they would leave the rest to the professionals!
At this moment.
They could finally start real testing!
Since other associations were doing testing, the Sword Card Master Association would not be left out!
Although the [Cloud Talent] Card was selling very well, Lu Ming knew that the purpose of creating the [Cloud Talent] Card was only to test one’s talents!
This was only to match the Art of Equalization!
This was the real reason why Lu Ming rebuilt the talent testing system!
Right now, the talent algorithm was completed!
According to Li Haoran, thousands of spirit bodies managed the operation, and they had tens of millions of data as the parameters. They had resolved almost all possible problems!
It was to the extent that…
In order for the data to be more intuitive…
They adjusted the talent weight. The talents with low points were strengthened and the talents with high points were weakened. In the end, all the data was displayed as percentages!
Well…
Lu Ming was very satisfied with the outcome.
It was foolish to stick to the rule that a 100 points talent must be ten times stronger than a 10 points talent! Instead, the points were displayed using a step distribution method to better reflect the situation!
In that case…
Xiaobai’s problem seemed to be solved.
Two days ago, everyone was busy with competing against the Wind Elementalists Association and had no time for this. Today was the right time to do the testing!
Well…
He should try it out on himself.
Whoosh—
Lu Ming took a deep breath and was slightly excited.
Shush!
He took out a [Cloud Talent] Card. This was a very ordinary card. There was a white bar on the lower right corner—This was used to write one’s name.
If not, where would the name come from?
Of course.
It did not matter if he did his own testing.
Lu Ming did not have the habit of sharing with his friends on social media. He hastily filled in “Er Gouzi” and activated the card.
Buzz—
The card dissipated.
A screen suspended in front of Lu Ming.
——
Test Results:
Name: Er Gouzi.
Card Creator Talent: 10 points.
Sword Card Master Talent: 5.3 points.
Swordsman Talent: 4.2 points.
Energy Warrior Talent: 4.1 points.
Elementalist Talent: 3.8 points.
…
——
Ding!
“The testing is completed”.
“Dear Er Gouzi, hello. Congratulations, your average talent is better than 0% of the world’s cultivators!”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn! What kind of devil data was that?
And…
What about strengthening the low points?! Where the hell were the points added?!
…
