Divine Card Creator (WN)
chapter-381

381 Hahaha, There Is Actually Someone That Stupid

What should they do?

Lu Ming instinctively looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked sullen.

This guy spoke with Lu Ming but took action immediately once he appeared. Was he looking down on him?! This was too much!

“Do him in!”

Jiang Feng clenched his teeth.

Shush!

The screen in the communication device was interrupted by the purple lights that filled the sky…

Alright.

Lu Ming sighed.

In the end, he still had to beat the guy in a fight before they could talk!

However, he was not that worried. Although this young man had created five-star cards, he was ultimately a four-star and a college freshman!

He had only cultivated for a year!

Even if he was a genius, it was impossible…

Buzz—

There was a burst of purple aura!

Immediately, the young man released the stack of cards in his hands skillfully and then activated the Card Activator on the table. Terrifying energy erupted!

Bang!

A six-star aura was spreading quietly…

Lu Ming turned pale instantly.

Six-star?!

Damn!

Although he relied on the Card Activator to achieve it, this was also very shocking! This guy had only cultivated for one year, and like him, he actually possessed a combat ability comparable to a six-stars?!

“Be careful.”

Lu Ming’s expression turned grave. “This is also a genius like me.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Where is his shame?

However, are they going to fight?

Lu Ming lifted his hand and a sword gleam appeared.

Shush!

There was a trace of golden flash.

The purple hues in the sky disappeared instantly. There was only the figure of the Original Card streaking across the side of the young man’s ear. In the air, a small tuft of hair drifted onto the ground.

Shush!

There was suddenly silence in the room.

“You…”

The young man widened his eyes in disbelief.

Six-star!

This guy had also reached six-star!

He depended on his card and the Card Activator and also used a massive number of accumulated energy to reach six-star. However, this guy relied solely on himself!

“Let me re-introduce myself.

“I’m Lu Ming, a graduate of The First Academy, president of the Sword Card Master Association, Creator of Fruit Ninja and the Leviathan Card.”

Lu Ming looked serious.

He felt that these titles would have some stunning effect.

True enough.

Li Mei’s expression looked much better.

Some time ago…

The Fruit Ninja and Leviathan Card were the sensations of the Card Creator industry!

Those higher-ups didn’t care but Card Creators like him were simply too familiar with them!

He had also taken the opportunity to earn thousands of yuan at that time!

He did not know about The First Academy graduate or president but the Fruit Ninja or Leviathan cards… As a Card Creator, how could he not know about them?!

Lu Ming…

He trusted that name.

With Lu Ming’s card creation standards, there was no need for him to compete with them for business. Furthermore, he had also researched the Leviathan Card before. It was astounding!

“Oh, it’s you.”

Li Mei was somewhat excited. “When the Leviathan Card was popular, I wanted to ride on its coat tails. Therefore, I modified and created a more powerful Leviathan. I included songs from Charm Skill and increased the weight with Heavy Weight Skill, such that there were singing and dancing effects during the outburst of its attacks…

“It’s a pity that my plan failed!

“I researched it for two months. In the end, I could only give up.”

Li Mei was filled with regrets.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Unexpectedly, he knew him.

However…

It was a good thing that this matter could be resolved. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he turned on the screen and told Jiang Feng to appear to talk about the matters pertaining to the Sword Card Master College.

“You’ve beaten him?”

Jiang Feng’s eyes swept across the place and he was stunned.

This scene…

It was quite different from what he had imagined!

The room was very clean and tidy and it did not look like a fight had occurred. Li Mei did not have a look of defeat on his face either, he seemed very excited instead.

What happened?

Jiang Feng looked at the faint purplish glow in the room and suddenly felt worried. After all, Lu Ming had past convictions. Those photographs and his looks…

“Lu Ming…

“Honey trapping is not something that you should use that often.”

Jiang Feng was very worried.

Lu Ming turned sullen.

What are in the brains of this old man?!

“Shut up!

“He knew of my cards. That’s all,” Lu Ming said.

“Oh.”

Jiang Feng understood right away.

“Hello, sorry for what happened earlier.”

Li Mei felt somewhat embarrassed. “I didn’t recognize you guys.”

Jiang Feng did not look good. “Shouldn’t you recognize me instead?!”

“Why should I know you?”

Li Mei felt strange.

“Because I was your principal.”

Jiang Feng endured his ranger. “I gave you special approval to enroll into the college at the crossroads the last time. Do you think that you could have met the mark with a score of 56?”

Li Mei cast Jiang Feng a deep and profound gaze.

After a long time…

He spoke in disbelief, “I actually met the mark?”

Shush!

The room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Feng was silent…

Lu Ming was speechless.

I can’t believe…

This term was brilliantly used.

“You didn’t know that you passed?”

Lu Ming exclaimed.

“I didn’t know.”

Li Mei felt even more puzzled.

It turned out that he had successfully secured a place in college last year?

Lu Ming sighed and glanced at Jiang Feng. “You are not aware that he didn’t come to the school?

“Well, you attended school only a few times,” Jiang Feng commented listlessly.

Given the school’s culture…

It could barely be considered a school. Talented people such as this young man… To be honest, sometimes, it was normal for them to be absent for a year…

Self-reliant type.

In theory, they would only check on the students during the final semester of the school term, and it was not time yet…

Therefore…

The rest was history.

Besides…

“Didn’t the school already notify you?”

Jiang Feng pursed his lips. “We sent you an electronic notification. Didn’t you receive it?”

“I came to Tian Du City to develop and changed my contact number,” Li Mei said calmly.

“You actually changed your contact number after the college entrance examination…” Lu Ming exclaimed.

That was crazy!

This was the first time that he had seen such a brave student!

Li Mei looked at Lu Ming as if the latter was an idiot. “Did you think you would pass the exams after spending one minute of your time writing your name and the answers for the multiple choice questions?”

Lu Ming was speechless.

It seemed… logical.

However…

One minute…

Why did he feel slightly sad after hearing that?

“Actually, it’s nothing much.”

Li Mei’s attitude was very positive. “I heard that the entry point for the college at crossroads was very low but I didn’t expect it to be that low! If that’s the case, it doesn’t make a difference whether I go to school or not… I heard that an idiot only scored 64 marks the year before! Hahaha, isn’t that funny? Is there someone that stupid!”

Jiang Feng was silent…

Lu Ming was speechless.

Damn!

Will you die if you don’t mention this?!

“Therefore, are you coming to college or not? After the reorganization of the college, all the tutors will be six-stars. They will definitely help you to become more powerful. You will be able to reach the peak of your life then!”

Lu Ming shifted the topic.

Li Mei was suddenly silent.

After a long time…

He shook his head. “It doesn’t matter anymore. I’m quite happy with my life now.”

Eh?

Lu Ming was surprised.

He could not think of any reason for Li Mei to decline him.

Right then…

Li Mei had pressed the switch in his hands. The purple lights in the room gradually receded and changed into normal daylight. The room became much clearer suddenly.

He moved out from the desk calmly.

Beneath his body… was actually a wheelchair!

Both his legs were broken!

Lu Ming was speechless.

Jiang Feng was silent.

What kind of magic fantasy plot is this?!

“Is this surprising?”

On the other hand, Li Mei looked very calm. He casually opened the drawer under his desk and threw a few magazines to them. “Find out more about the teenager who lost his legs…”

These few magazines constituted Li Mei’s past.

Lu Ming flipped the pages casually. It was about a teenager who had become a Swordsman at 14 years old. This was the beginning of a magical fantasy. He vanquished everyone and reached his peak! However, when he reached six-star, an accident caused him to suffer grievous injuries and lose both his legs. His cultivation was crippled and he disappeared without a trace afterward…

“Something happened to my master.

“To prevent me from seeking revenge, the other party crippled me,” Li Mei said calmly.

He had learned to take things in his stride over the past two years. He was a minor then, otherwise…

“I see.”

Jiang Feng understood now.

It was no wonder that, given his identity and talent, he would participate in the entry examination for the crossroads college. Furthermore, someone entrusted him to accept him into the school!

This child…

It was a sheer pity.

Jiang Feng looked at his legs, well…

They were completely crippled.

Therefore, he changed to a non-combat vocation and became a Card Creator. He switched into an auxiliary vocation and drifted along in life…

Lu Ming put away the magazines quietly, his eyes looking extraordinarily bright.

Crippled?

Feud and enemies?!

It was okay!

What did he see in those magazines?

Talent!

Absolute talent!

This young man’s combat performance was more glorious than anyone else’s!

This was a super genius who was similar to Lu Yan and Yan Suya. He was a demon character. This was a talent who could have vanquished his era!

Seriously…

Look at this plot! Talent turned loser! Sect annihilation! Deep feud! This is a protagonist in the making?! Will someone like that lack talent?!

Therefore…

If they were to ‘fool’ him into joining the Sword Card Master Association. Cough…

He had a very detailed understanding of the Breeze Pavilion’s talent system. If he did not guess wrong, both Xiaobai and this young man belonged to those with overflowing talents!

Yes.

They would score 10 in talent because 10 was the maximum score!

Therefore…

If he had more of such talents, would Lu Ming’s talent score become 10 as well?!

That was possible!

Therefore…

He had to recruit this kind of super genius!

Even if —

He was already crippled.

“This guy is definitely a genius!”

Both Xiao-Xiaojian’s eyes shone. “Although I don’t now his actual score. If he can join the Sword Card Master Association, I reckon that he will increase the average by one point!”

What did increasing the average by one point mean?!

The Sword Card Master Association’s target was 30 people!

Furthermore, Xiao-Xiaojian’s intuition had never been wrong! This also meant that he definitely could not let this genius in front of him slip away!

This was a gem.

At the very least…

It was the case for the Sword Card Master Association.

“Why don’t you follow me?”

Lu Ming was full of anticipation.

“Uh.”

The young man was visibly stunned. Afterward, he said with embarrassment, “I’m not very interested in men…”

Lu Ming’s face turned black. “I’m referring to cultivation.”

“Forget it.

The young man shook his head.

He had been selling pirated cards everyday. Actually, he was living quite a good life. As to cultivating from the start again… He did not put a lot of hopes in that!

Lu Ming tried to persuade him. Unfortunately, the young man’s mind was already set.

That was right.

After going through something like that and with both his legs crippled, would he still have the fighting spirit to cultivate?

This was because…

It was destined to be a waste of time.

“What is your dream?”

Lu Ming tried to imitate the style of Wang Feng[1.Wang Feng is a Chinese rock musician and composer].

“Dream?”

Li Mei was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have thought of a future with rainbow-like Sword Aura, executing Sword Kinesis Flight… and his senior sister beside him…

He mocked himself.

“The Sword Card Master Association can help you achieve your dream.”

Lu Ming led the young man to understand his intentions.

“But what is the price to pay for this?”

The young man had a calm expression.

Elixirs to recover his body were available but they were frighteningly expensive. Once, an organization had looked for him and was willing to help him recover.

However, the price was to work for them for life!

Therefore, he gave it up and was content with living a boring and idle life.

“Price?”

Lu Ming was obviously stunned.

Hell… What price? You’re not Hanzo and you don’t have an empire! What kind of price can there be… Cultivating diligently and burning midnight oil may be the only possible price…

Well…

Lu Ming thought for a moment.

“Hair?”

The young man smiled bitterly. “How am I supposed to go out looking like this?”

“It’s very simple.”

Lu Ming said earnestly, “Wait a minute.”

Hence…

He casually created and materialized a few bouncing small soldier cards. There were a total of eight of them. They walked to the young man and lifted his wheelchair.

The young man was speechless.

“Look, this works, right?”

Lu Ming was very satisfied. “You can change the wheelchair to a sedan next time and then get them to address you as an invincible immortal or something. How majestic would that be?”

The young man was speechless.

Why did he find this so idiotic?

“Or perhaps…

“Card Kinesis Flight!”

Lu Ming decided to bring out his trump card.

It was a pity.

The young man was not moved.

Hadn’t he tried similar ways before? He had looked for a Wind Elementalist and tried to fly. However, both his legs were not the only things that were crippled…

Besides…

He was once dazzling…

He could not bring himself to go out looking like that now! He would give it his best shot if he wanted to. Otherwise, he would rather not do it! Especially his senior sister..

“Forget it.”

The young man shook his head.

“Please don’t do this to me.”

Lu Ming strove to convince him.

However, no matter what he said, the young man refused to return to cultivation in such a condition. Therefore, Lu Ming did not have an alternative, until he saw Jiang Feng…

Well…

“Old Jiang?”

Lu Ming thought of something. “Do you still have the fruits from the World of Darkness and Shadows?”

“What do you want to do?!”

Jiang Feng became vigilant.

“Use them.”

Lu Ming was tempted. “Look, I remember that Shadow Manipulation can adjust to the body at will and then if we use it together with the fruit, when the shadow is separated from the body…

“Don’t you find that amazing?!”

This was the only option he could think of now.

Shadow return!

This was the only way that Li Mei could be in his complete state!

Perhaps…

This was the only way to untie the knot in his heart.

“I only have one…”

Jiang Feng said sullenly, “It’s definitely not enough. The shadow separation rate is only 0.01%. I don’t know how many fruits I took before completing it!”

“How do you know before even trying?”

Lu Ming consoled.

“Why should I give it to you!”

Old Jiang felt indignant.

“This is a matter pertaining to the Sword Card Master Association. What does it have to do with me?!”

“Can you take it as giving it in advance… Anyway, it’ll belong to Xiaobai after you die,” Lu Ming consoled.

Jiang Feng’s face instantly darkened.

“Why are you so persistent about accepting him into the association?”

Jiang Feng could not understand.

“Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not.”

Lu Ming could not explain himself clearly. He could not possibly say ‘This young man is super talented. If I can get him on my side, I will be able to increase my talent by one point?!’

“I have one condition.”

Jiang Feng’s expression was austere.

Although the two of them were on quite good terms, he had to be clear about some things.

“Tell me.”

Lu Ming glanced at him.

“One of your children will have to bear the surname Jiang in the future…” Jiang Feng emphasized.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Damn it. You’re still thinking about this?!

“You’ll be beaten to death by Xiaobai.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“Just tell me if you agree.”

Jiang Feng sneered.

“Agree.”

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

Who could predict the future?!

It would be ages before Xiaobai grew up… Furthermore, given Old Jiang’s taste for courting death, he might be a goner in a few years’ time!

There was nothing wrong with that!

Hence…

Li Mei decided to use the only fruit that Jiang Feng had to help Li Mei rebuild his body. Of course, this was just an idea. As to whether it would succeed…

God knew.

Hence…

He discussed this with Li Mei. Li Mei was skeptical, until he took the fruit sent by Jiang Feng and successfully separated from his body.

Buzz—

A shadow emerged.

Li Mei’s shadow had separated from his body!

He was successful in one try!

Jiang Feng did not come to his senses for a long time.

“How many fruits did you take last time?” Lu Ming asked quietly.

“Not that many, not that many.”

Jiang Feng smiled wryly.

He remembered that he spent all the money that he earned and ate until he vomited before managing to separate his shadow from his body!

This Li Mei…

Shush!

Shush!

Darkness and shadows surged!

Li Mei tried to adjust his body according to Shadow Manipulation and finally created two legs!

“I’m back. Hahaha!”

Li Mei was elated.

Even though this was only his shadow.

However…

He finally had both his legs again!

Furthermore, controlling his shadow did not seem any different from controlling his own body!

Hence…

Henceforth…

There was another super genius in the Sword Card Master Association — Li Mei!

Well…

There was only one problem left.

Due to Li Mei’s special identity as he was a former genius, it was impossible to count on him to do any publicity. Furthermore, the effect of such publicity would not be good!

Therefore, although Li Mei had joined them, the original recruitment plan failed!

It was a sheer pity.

Lu Ming felt a little regretful.

However…

When Li Mei brought Li Mei back, he was shocked to discover that the publicity plan for the affiliated college had already started —

‘How did he transform from a poor student with a score of 64 into the current unrivaled genius?!

‘How did he transform from a loser one-star to an association president?!

‘How did he create the Fruit Ninja and the first series of the Leviathan Card! Enter the Sword Card Master Association affiliated college of the college at the crossroads and find out more about the journey of a loser who rose to power!

Lu Ming became sullen.

Damn!

Which bastard wrote this?!

Hence…

Lu Ming clicked the publicity section of the association furiously and saw a familiar name on it — The manager of the publicity department: Zhang Yang.

Lu Ming was speechless.
