Divine Card Creator-Chapter 469 - Low-key Title x 5
Tian Du City.
In the suburbs.
The dean and Lu Ming landed from the sky into ruins.
“You can do your experiment here.”
The dean said calmly. “I have checked. There are no creatures here, except for some brutal beasts. You can test at will here.”
“Okay.”
Lu Ming stood up.
Afterward…
It paused for a moment.
Eh…
Why did this place look familiar?
Oh.
He remembered now. It was the ruins of the Snow Mountain Sect…
→_→
“Let’s begin,”
the dean said.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded.
Hence…
He waved his hands.
Whoosh—
Lu Ming activated the Stars Card.
Buzz—
The Stars Card dissipated.
From the traces at the scene, one could tell that the dissipation of the Stars Card brought about an impact, and that was the power that was tested initially.
Afterward…
There was nothing.
Both of them were mentally prepared for this.
After all, the meteorite needed time to land. After Lu Ming cast the cards, several hours passed before the meteorite landed at The First Academy!
And now…
The two of them looked up at the sky.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
…
One night…
Time passed quietly.
The night came and went and night came again. There was nothing in that entire area! There were not even any bird droppings, notwithstanding meteorites!
“How about you try one more card?”
The dean suggested.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded.
Shush!
Another card dissipated.
At night.
There was total silence.
Still, nothing happened.
…
A passing cultivator inadvertently looked at them, and used his new model of wristband communication device that had a 50 times zooming function to take pictures of them secretly…
Eh?
This guy seemed familiar?
Wait a minute.
Wasn’t this the influencer president, Lu Ming?!
And…
The older guy next to him seemed to be the dean of The First Academy?
Ss——
What were these two people of important status and position with powerful abilities doing at three o’clock in the morning, not sleeping, but going to the suburbs to look at the stars?!
In that instant…
He came up with a ten million-word-story plot…
What was true love?
This…
This was true love.
At the thought of this, he became excited.
This was such a good chance to take photos to threaten them…
Pfft!
There was a flash of light.
He blacked out, losing consciousness.
In a faraway place.
The dean cast a faint look and could not be bothered anymore.
Was this a joke?!
Given his abilities, he dared to take photos of them secretly in front of him…
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Nothing. There is a grasshopper. I have slapped it to death.”
The dean waved his hands, looking at the sky. It was pointless to keep waiting. Therefore, he went back to The First Academy with Lu Ming.
That night.
They simulated what happened that day and he brought Lu Ming with him to go around Tian Du City to cast Stars Cards, using dozens of Stars Cards!
However…
One day and one night had passed and nothing happened.
When there was no increment, this Stars Card was just an ordinary six-star card!
It was plain.
It was simple.
The dean fell silent.
“Why don’t we keep changing places to test it?”
Lu Ming suggested.
“No need.”
The dean sighed.
After testing for so many times, he should have understood. The falling of the meteorite this time had nothing to do with Lu Ming! It was really an accident!!!
Seriously…
It was just that the meteorite fell and hit The First Academy.
That was all.
This luck…
They were damn unlucky!
“I am sorry to have taken up your time for so many days.”
The dean felt somewhat ashamed.
Lu Ming had been very cooperative these few days. Lu Ming did whatever he told him to do, he was highly cooperative!
Seven days and seven nights!
All-nighter!
In this case, how could he still blame Lu Ming?
Furthermore…
They had consumed an alarming amount of energy these few days.
Lu Ming, this child…
Sigh.
“You can reimburse the energy you spent when we returned to the college,”
the dean said.
“No need, no need.”
Lu Ming waved his hands continuously.
“It’s okay.”
The dean had a bitter smile on his face. “We might not have a lot of money, but we won’t shortchange you on these small expenses. All I can say is that The First Academy is unlucky.”
Hence…
The two of them went back to the city.
Right then.
The report of the Tian Du City investigation team was out—They had ascertained that the meteorite was affected by certain celestial bodies and so on.
…
Right then…
Lu Ming went back to the association at a loss.
The testing was completed!
He threw out numerous Stars Cards for the past seven days and nights. There was not a single meteorite! This meant that the accident had nothing to do with him!
However, why was he unconvinced?
Stars Card…
Lu Ming looked at the sky.
After a long time…
He went back to the lab.
“Xiao-Xiaojian, can you make real-time deduction?”
Lu Ming asked.
“It’s worth a try,”
Xiao-Xiaojian said.
After integrating with the Sky Water Sword, its deduction skills had been strengthened.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Hence…
He used the Stars Card again.
This time, Xiao-Xiaojian made clear records of the every bit of dissipation of energy of the Stars Card, as well as its trajectory, and began its deduction.
After a long time…
Xiao-Xiaojian said, “I could feel a force going upward… but I have no idea where it went as it was too far…”
“Even with an increase of energy?”
Lu Ming asked.
“No.”
Xiao-Xiaojian shook its head. “The deduction range has to do with the energy quality… Given the peak five-star energy right now, the deduction cannot go further.”
Oo…
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
After a long while, he dived into his Sea of Consciousness.
“Brother Cat!
“Can you make a deduction?”
Lu Ming asked cautiously.
Ever since Brother Cat was being targeted by a certain big shot, it had been keeping a low profile. Under normal circumstances, Lu Ming would not ask Brother Cat for help, however…
Deduction should not be a problem?
“It won’t affect your aura.”
Lu Ming added.
The black cat looked at Lu Ming.
It paused for a moment.
It then threw its paws at Xiao-Xiaojian.
Bang!
Infinite energy poured in.
“Damn it!”
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly turned thrilled. It could clearly feel a rich, powerful and terrifying energy directly infusing into its body.
That was the black cat’s energy!
Buzz—
Lights surged.
The effect of the deduction reached its extreme instantly!
Right then…
Xiao-Xiaojian could clearly see that with the usage of the Stars Card, one meteorite that was the nearest to them trembled slightly, but it steadied itself very soon.
Oh…
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly understood.
The Stars Card could actually summon a meteorite!!!
However…
As Lu Ming’s abilities were weak and the traction force was limited, only meteorites that could be driven by the power within the Stars Card would fall!
Buzz—
Everything suddenly trembled violently.
“Brother Cat!
“Stop right now!”
Xiao-Xiaojian wailed. “It’s too full, I am about to crack.”
Shush!
The black cat reduced its energy instantly.
Buzz—
The Original Card lay paralyzed on the ground, there seemed to be a huge sense of emptiness…
Lu Ming had no time to waste on it.
He could see the deduction results in his Sea of Consciousness!
Therefore…
The meteorite at The First Academy was indeed summoned by him!
→_→
“What is this all about?”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
He and the dean tested multiple times but there was no effect. Why was it that he summoned a meteorite when he was in the testing area?!
“This was too unlucky.”
Lu Ming sighed.
The probability was very low, yet it happened to him.
“It might not be the case.”
Xiao-Xiaojian recovered some of its energy. “It could be that the meteorite has been floating in the vicinity for hundreds of years and everything was fine. You who are unlucky caused it to fall.”
Lu Ming contemplated for a moment, and shoved Xiao-Xiaojian into the card bag.
Damn it! It was too talkative!
Anyway.
He had finally figured out what happened.
Lu Ming thought about it and personally went to The First Academy.
This matter…
He needed to deal with it.
Regarding the accidents that happened the previous few times, it was the enemies who made trouble. He naturally could not be bothered. It did not matter how many times The First Academy was affected. But this time round it was more serious…
The huge testing area was gone!
This was the testing area that The First Academy spent lots of money to build for the cultivators!
This place was beneficial to the cultivators!
Therefore…
Lu Ming sighed.
What else could he do?
He should compensate for the losses.
Hence…
Lu Ming tried to ask around and to find out the losses incurred by The First Academy. He then donated this amount of money in the name of the Sword Card Master Association…
To fully sponsor the reconstruction of the testing area of The First Academy!
After all…
Meteorite landing was a natural disaster.
As a graduate, it was reasonable to help his alma mater.
“How can we accept your sponsorship!”
The dean sighed. “Rest assured, I no longer suspect you.”
“I know.”
Lu Ming said calmly, “It is just that I still cannot figure it out. Besides, my sister and I graduated from The First Academy, and we have to thank you for taking care of us.”
“Good, good!”
The dean was moved.
What else could he say?
Look!
Lu Ming was the first person to lend his support when a natural disaster struck the school! He was the first person to help the school to rebuild the testing area!!!
He was the real heaven’s pride!
At the same time.
He felt ashamed.
Every time something happened, he would suspect that it was Lu Ming. And the results?
Look!
This obviously had nothing to do with Lu Ming yet he fully sponsored the reconstruction of the school’s testing area!!! What a righteous person! What a great sense of responsibility!
“Lu Ming.”
The dean clasped Lu Ming’s hands tightly. “I won’t be wishy-washy. In the future, if anything happens to you in Tian Du City, you can always come to me for help.”
“You don’t have to do that.”
Lu Ming’s heart was dripping blood.
His money!
His simple, plain and boring life had left him.
Although he said that he was envious of the days where he did not have money… he was only joking!!! There was no need to turn poor so soon…
He was not serious about it.
He only said them to make him seem classier!
Look at Jack Ma[1] who said that he regretted founding Alibaba, and Wang Jianlin[2] who sang a Chinese song titled, “Nothing To My Name”, they always said that their best times were when they were poor.
But did they really want to go back to those times?
Of course not.
Because…
Those words were only fronting!
Sob!
In the end, he had really become a poor man!
And there was another big shot who said that he could not tell if his wife was pretty or not. This did not seem like fronting. This was because the big shot ended up sleeping with the wrong person…
Forget it.
Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.
Looking at the dean’s grateful and affectionate eyes, he could only sigh.
All he asked for…
Was a peace of mind.
…
Sword Card Master Association.
Li Haoran and the rest had a big shock upon hearing this.
They knew that their master was kind-hearted, benevolent and responsible, but they never thought that he had this sense of responsibility to give back to society.
This level…
“I am no match for Master.”
Li Haoran who was working hard to catch up with Lu Ming sighed.
All along…
His goal was his master!
He worked hard and was diligent, he believed that one day he would be as outstanding as his master! However, when he learned of what happened today, he was silent…
It turned out that…
His master had already reached this level!!!
Perhaps…
He would never catch up with his master in his life.
Hence…
He opened the “The Untold Stories of Sword Card Master” again and made more changes.
——
A certain year, month and day.
Natural disasters struck The First Academy, and they suffered heavy losses and the teachers and students were in suffering. My master donated all of the funds of the association to fund the reconstruction of the testing area of The First Academy…
——
At this very moment…
Somewhere.
“Master…”
Miss Zhou Yun was also very proud of her master.
She was used to the rules of this society where the powerful cultivators ruled the world, where one used all kinds of methods to increase one’s abilities and where one was used to unscrupulous means…
She never expected that…
Her young master who was at a similar age as her would be willing to give back to society!
Her attitude changed from disbelief to skepticism and doubts, and to silence. She knew that Lu Ming had touched a soft spot in her heart…
It turned out that…
There were such people in this world.
It turned out that…
Her master was so outstanding.
Suddenly…
She felt that everything that she had been through in her life was worth it…
It was worthwhile to meet such a master…
She was very fortunate.
Hence…
She took a pen and as usual, wrote down her feelings into her diary.
At this moment…
Every disciple in the Sword Card Master Association was shocked.
Li Ergou and the rest were stunned as well. They were full of respect for the president who like to crack jokes and were at times childish. Xiaobai was the only one who was calm and collected.
“This is normal.”
Xiaobai puffed her chest proudly. “Master has always been the best.”
In her heart…
Her master was the best.
“True.”
The disciples were filled with emotions.
True enough.
Senior Sister who had been by the president’s side was very clear of his character.
President…
Right then…
They were full of respect at the mention of Lu Ming.
However…
Somewhere in the corner of the association.
Black and white intertwined and the atmosphere was unlike the rest of the association.
Eh?
The cleaning auntie cast them doubtful glances. She cautiously entered the place with her mop, and discovered a teenager in white and a teenager in black in a passionate embrace.
The cleaning auntie was dumbstruck.
She raised her broom, intending to send them away. But then she thought about it and turned to leave.
Forget it.
Two boys…
After all…
It was not easy.
Hence…
The cleaning auntie left.
In the corner.
The teenager in black patted the back of the teenager in white, feeling helpless as he consoled the teenager in white. “I thought you have sorted out your thoughts…”
“Oo… Oo.”
The teenager in white was in tears.”I… I used that card to look at her diary again…”
“Oh?”
The teenager in black looked up. “What did she write?”
“It seems to be…”
The teenager in white cried while trembling. “It seems to be saying that Master touched… something…”
The teenager in black was dumbstruck.
Damn!
He looked at the teenager in white full of doubts as he whispered. “You must be lying. This must be the “S” related content that you adapted the other day.”
The teenager in white paused and broke into even louder cries.
The teenager in black was speechless.
In that case…
Was it actually real?
What else could he say?
“My condolences.”
He patted the teenager in white on his shoulder, full of sympathy for him.
…
Right then…
The president’s office.
Li Haoran gazed at Lu Ming affectionately.
“Master.”
Li Haoran coughed.
Before his eyes.
Lu Ming looked at the calming fluid in front of him, his heart ached at the loss. He was reluctant to part with the wealth that he had. It had only been a few days and it was wasted away by him…
“Master, shall I take it away?”
Li Haoran said gingerly.
With that…
He slowly took the calming fluid away.
Lu Ming was in tears.
My fluid…
He wanted to stop Li Haoran but he could not. He had donated the funds of the association. He had to sell the items that he bought two days ago while he was feeling egoistic.
He was in tears.
“Xiao-Xiaojian, my heart aches.”
Lu Ming was distressed.
“Haha.”
Xiao-Xiaojian rolled its eyes. He was too dramatic!
“We could no longer enjoy the luxuries…”
Lu Ming looked into the distance.
“What does luxury have to do with you?”
Xiao-Xiaojian cast a glance at him. “You have only been fronting for less than a week… I feel that compared to the kind of pompous life, a poor life is more suitable for you.”
Lu Ming turned sullen. It was too talkative!!!
“However…”
Xiao-Xiaojian changed his stand. “Are you really willing to do that?”
“So what if I am not willing?”
Lu Ming sighed. “I have to be responsible since I am in the wrong. I can demolish the legacy site and the legacy since these places are meant to be fought for, but the school…
“I can’t tear them down for no reason.”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. “Besides, although no one knew about it, it doesn’t mean they would be kept in the dark forever. If the dean found out the truth one day…
“What should I do?
“In that case, it is better that I deal with it openly.”
Lu Ming’s expression was calm.
“I take my hat off you!”
Xiao-Xiaojian exclaimed in shock.
Lu Ming…
He had better values than it imagined.
Perhaps…
In that past it had underestimated him.
However, right then, he seemed to hear Lu Ming muttering to himself. “Besides, return the borrowed things on time you’ll be welcome next time…”
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
Did it mean that he wanted to tear the testing area next time?!
Cough.
Lu Ming coughed.
Anyway.
This matter had come to a close.
Well…
Although he accidentally destroyed a testing area and wasted a lot of money, he also understood the functions of this card!
The Stars Card could really summon a meteorite!!!
Of course.
At this stage, the ability was not very reliable. Given Lu Ming’s current abilities, it was obviously a loss, but in the long run… it might not be the case.
If…
If he activated the card using more powerful energy?
Peak six-star, seven-star…
By that time, would the force surge or not, would more stars be affected, and would a powerful meteorite fall or not…
By then…
Lu Ming’s heart trembled at the thought of it.
Although at present, this card could not be used in a battle, this was basically a card of the forbidden spell level!
This was a real nuclear weapon!
Amazing!
Hence…
Lu Ming quietly put this card aside.
Right then.
The sky was already dark.
He left the lab and went back to his room. He was surprised to find that his door was open… Oh, Xiaobai was here again?
This was strange.
Shouldn’t she be in class at this time?
Lu Ming walked forward with doubts and was shocked to find that it was another lady in his room!!!
Of course.
Although the lady did not face him, he could tell from her shadow that she was not Xiaobai… Besides, there were not many female disciples in the association.
Oo…
Was it Zhou Yun or Yang Liu-er?
“You…”
Lu Ming was about to say his greetings when he suddenly paused. He was shocked to discover that the chair the lady was sitting on was actually…
Oh.
Drips.
