After hearing what he said, Xie Mingzhe sent him an invitation right away. Seconds later, Tang Muzhou's smurf account entered Xie Mingzhe's individual s.p.a.ce. Xie Mingzhe led him straight to his study. Compared to Legend Tang's study which was full of research material, Xie Mingzhe's was not that splendid. He scratched his head, feeling embarra.s.sed, and said, "Legend Tang, my place is quite stark."

Tang Muzhou said mildly, "That doesn't matter. Let's see those cards first."

Xie Mingzhe then took out two new cards, [Xi Shi] and [w.a.n.g Zhaojun].

Seeing those two beauty cards, Tang Muzhou squinted his eyes suddenly——'Xi Shi Making Fish Sink' was designed to target a player who used cards with the Water attribute. ‘Zhaojun Making Flying Wild Geese Fall' was aimed at Shan Lan's flying wild geese card that had the highest attack speed.

Xie Mingzhe said to him, "According to your instruction, I managed to raise the Agility to 30. Now I suppose these two IDE cards are qualified."

Tang Muzhou didn't hide his tone of admiration, "This is incredible. I didn't expect that you can make progress so rapidly."

Being praised by the legend, Xie Mingzhe smiled humbly and said, "Thanks to your instruction, I have already figured out how to distribute the data of IDE cards. And I'm getting better and better in creating cards with high Agility."

Tang Muzhou said, "You just said you had questions. What confused you?"

Xie Mingzhe pointed to [w.a.n.g Zhaojun], "Originally I wanted to set it as a card with the Water attribute. How come it became a card with the Metal attribute?"

"Because of the weapon." Tang Muzhou took one look and found the reason immediately. He explained, "In this game, all cards with metal weapons, such as bows and arrows, swords, daggers as well as broadswords, are cla.s.sified as Metal cards. w.a.n.g Zhaojun holds a Chinese lute which has metal strings, and that's why the system turned the attribute of this card into Metal automatically when it examined the ultimate data."

Xie Mingzhe was still a little confused, "Nevertheless, w.a.n.g Zhaojun playing the Chinese lute should belong to the sound wave attack. It's not like she is going to hit people with the Chinese lute directly. Given her attack method, is this card still meant to be cla.s.sified as a Metal card? I mean, it's ridiculous that the weapon is the only standard during the database examination."

"You're right. And Ling Jingtang is to blame for this." Tang Muzhou said patiently, "He made his debut in the second season. The man invented cards with the Metal attribute by creating a bunch of anthropomorphic weapon cards. His set of playing cards with the Metal attribute had very strong Critical Strikes that influenced all Metal cards. The authority changed the database rules for him——As long as there is a metal weapon in a card, the card will be cla.s.sified as a Metal card."

"Oh, now I get it!" the light dawned on Xie Mingzhe all of a sudden.

It's obvious that Ling Jingtang was an incredible legend, since his cards alone could affect the whole Metal card group and made the authority change the database's setting. Just like Tang Muzhou who completed plant cards with the Wood attribute as well as Nie Yuandao who influenced beast cards with the Fire attribute, Legend Ling must have led the improvement of the card group with the Metal attribute.

"Legend Tang, why don't you take a [Xi Shi] and a [w.a.n.g Zhaojun] when you leave." Xie Mingzhe said.

"How much?" Tang Muzhou was about to dip into his pocket when he heard Xie Mingzhe said, "It's cool. You don't have to pay."

"How come?" Tang Muzhou looked up at him doubtfully.

"You spent 660,000 gold coins on [Lin Daiyu], and you have been teaching me so many things. I would feel guilty if I charged you for these cards." Xie Mingzhe said with great loyalty, "I can depict cards whenever I want, so it's okay that you take these two with you."

"In that case, I was upgraded from the VIP to the special client who doesn't have to pay?" Tang Muzhou asked, smiling.

"As long as Legend Tang is interested in IDE cards, I will send you a sample for your collection everytime I create a new one." Xie Mingzhe was not a greedy person. Given his high income nowadays, it would be stingy to charge 200,000 gold coins for two cards. Legend Tang helped him a lot. In Xie's mind, their friendship was much more important than cards and money, so he decided to give Legend Tang cards that he likes for free afterwards.

"Thanks." Tang Muzhou received cards and his voice became warmer than before, "Listen, I could give you a hand since I'm here. You need to change [w.a.n.g Zhaojun]."

"Change it?" although Xie Mingzhe didn't expect this conversation, he would love to listen to him. Then he asked sincerely, "Agility and base attributes have already reached 30. Do you think that the skill design of this card is still flawed?"

"Well. The number of wild geese cards is very small, which means the skill, ‘Making Flying Wild Geese Fall', can only be applied very rarely. In current high-level league matches, Shan Lan is the only one who has a flying geese card with high Defense and high Critical Strike, which is always used to instkill the opponent's squishy cards. The attack speed of his Flying Geese card is pretty high, which will scale down the effect accuracy percentage of your card's instant death skill. No one has wild geese cards except him. Therefore [w.a.n.g Zhaojun] is not as practical as you thought, even though it looks pretty."

"I see." Unlike Tang Muzhou, Xie Mingzhe didn't have an in-depth study of the Arena. According to Legend Tang, [Lin Daiyu] was aimed at flowers, [Xue Baochai] was aimed at b.u.t.terflies and [Xi Shi] was aimed at fish. All these cards had more opportunities to be applied. Compared to them, the skill of [w.a.n.g Zhaojun] seemed quite useless. Xie Mingzhe asked proactively, "How can I fix it?"

"How about changing its focus to birds?" Tang Muzhou suggested, "This is a pretty huge group since all flying birds, such as larks, crows, sparrows, eagles as well as wild geese, belong to birds. w.a.n.g Zhaojun's weapon is a Chinese lute, and she can attack birds by playing it. This setting is viable in principle. I mean, you can give it a shot."

"Nice!" Xie Mingzhe's eyes shone with excitement, and then he was in deep thought, stroking his jaw.

He drew the image of wild geese clearly when he created the card. Now in order to expand its aim scope, he had to change those wild geese and draw some ambiguous images of birds. In that way this card could require the effect of "The tone of the Chinese lute killing all birds in one hit".

At this thought, Xie Mingzhe closed his eyes and connected his inner spirit with the card creation system.

[w.a.n.g Zhaojun] continued to be enlarged in his spirit world. He pictured the scene where w.a.n.g Zhaojun plays the Chinese lute and makes flying birds fall. At the same time, he re-edited the original description of the skill……

After about ten minutes, the process of changing the card was completed.

Xie Mingzhe picked it up and had a look. Attributes didn't change, while the Additional Skill changed as expected——

Additional Skill: Farewell to My Country (w.a.n.g Zhaojun plays Farewell to My Country with the Chinese lute to shoot down flying objects and cause huge damage to bird cards. Has a 30% chance of triggering the instant death effect.)

He made it!

Xie Mingzhe's heartbeat raced, and his fingers slightly trembled with excitement, holding the card.

He had discovered something important.

The world didn't follow the rules of the earth era because of the cultural gap. In history, w.a.n.g Zhaojun shot down flying wild geese by playing Farewell to My Country. However, Xie Mingzhe just rewrote the story by merely using his inner spirit. Wild geese were replaced by all birds in this story.

That meant he could apply some myths, legends, historical stories as well as anecdotes properly to acquire particular card effects that he wanted, as long as he had a strong inner spirit, a fertile imagination and the theoretically feasible skill designs.

Thus, his way of thinking would become more extensive than just simply famous books, history and legends!

Xie Mingzhe was so excited, inspired by this significant discovery.

He didn't know that Tang Muzhou was in a good mood too.

‘Xi Shi Making Fish Sink', this skill was a powerful rival to players with the Water attribute since it killed fish right away. Players with the Water attribute in Flowing Frost City Club would be very upset the moment they heard about this card. ‘Zhaojun Playing Farewell to My Country', this additional skill could shoot flying objects down through sound waves. It was obvious that this IDE card would depress Shan Lan who had a bunch of flying cards, even if he was a gentle and mild man who smiled all the time.

Tang Muzhou thought he had made a sensible decision. The Star Card League would become a peaceful and harmonious place once everybody was in trouble.

The chat group would begin to hum with life at noon tomorrow.

At the same time, in the Adjudication Club. Shan Lan was just about to wear a helmet when he gave a violent sneeze.

Where did this sinister premonition come from?
