Divine Card Creator

Chapter 288: I Took You for a Friend... You Actually... Penetrated Me!

Qing Ming City.

Qing Ming Hotel was crowded.

All the cultivators waiting for the chance encounter were staying there. It was a convenient place for them to come into contact with the chance encounter and also to find out more about their opponents.

“Dude, are you going out to eat?”

“Yes.”

The cultivators were chatting.

Although Qing Ming City was small, it had a unique and fairly good culinary scene, especially hot noodles with sesame paste and cold noodles. They could see people setting up the stalls everyday.

“There are advantages to living in a small place too. In my hometown, these kinds of small stalls have already been banned.”

“Is that true?”

The cultivators heaved continuous sighs.

“The chance encounter is here. Why don’t we form a team?”

“Okay.”

The duo glanced at each other in the eye.

They might gain some advantages if they were to form a team...

At this very moment...

Bang!

A beam of lights emerged from afar.

The dazzling light pillar suddenly exploded into the clouds.

That was...

All the cultivators looked up instantly.

Chance encounter!

The chance encounter had appeared!

“Let’s go!”

The cultivator got up.

The man who chatted with him wanted to follow him.

“Get lost!”

The cultivator’s gaze was cold with obvious murderous intent. “If you dare come close to me, I’ll kill you. You want to share the chance encounter with me with your lousy skills?!”

Shush!

Upon finishing his words...

He dashed towards the light pillar.

The other man did not come to his senses for a long time.

Damn. Did he need to be that crude?

However, he was not weak. He dashed ahead swiftly.

“The chance encounter has appeared!”

“Fortunately, I did not leave!”

The cultivators were thrilled. They charged towards the light pillar like mad demons. Qing Ming City, which had briefly quieted down, was lively and bustling again...

At the entrance, the cold noodles seller took a glance and hurriedly sent out a message. “Team Leader Zhang Wei, all the targets have appeared in the area with the light pillar...”

...

At this very moment...

Lu Ming had already returned to his shop. He could feel a burning pain on his back.

The front of his shirt was still fine but the back was almost burnt, revealing a huge hole. He looked like a fashionista.

“Master!”

Xiaobai’s heart ached as she applied medication on Lu Ming.

“Did the bad guys come again?”

Xiaobai was worried.

Qing Ming City seemed to be getting more and more chaotic recently...

“Yes.”

Lu Ming was nonchalant.

“Things have been tough on master.”

Stars twinkled in Xiaobai’s eyes.

There are really too few people like Master who contribute quietly to this city. He ends up with many injuries all the time...

She remembered reading in books before that all of this was the sign of a true hero.

“Yes,” Lu Ming felt a little guilty when he replied.

Damn...

He could not possibly say that he was almost blasted to death when testing his card?

It was too embarrassing!

Eh?

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming suddenly remembered that he was a policeman. Although it was a part-time job, he had caused such a great commotion. It should be enough to attract the attention of those people!

In that case...

Many of those hidden people would be exposed?

Oh.

In that case, helping the police gather the number and size of these hidden threats was also useful. He had contributed! In that case, his injuries... had happened at work...

Well...

He contacted Zhang Wei to seek reimbursements.

...

After a long time...

Lu Ming received the news.

A huge fight broke out in the light pillar area because everyone rushed to the source of the light the moment they could to look for the one-of-a-kind chance encounter that had possibly appeared!

However, a part of the road was not wide. Therefore...

There were fights and killings for a long time.

According to sources, at least ten cultivators died and a dozen cultivators were wounded...

“Is it that bad?”

Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.

These people were really merciless!

The ancient tomb situation the last time had caused the deaths of a few men in black. Unexpectedly, one Sunlight Card had killed ten powerful cultivators directly...

This was crazy!

“What do you think? After all, this is a millennium chance encounter.”

Zhang Wei sighed and suddenly paused for a moment. “Also, I specially investigated the matter pertaining to the ancient tomb the last time. It may be different from what I thought.”

“Can you elaborate?”

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

“The higher-ups...

“Seemingly, it’s not that the higher-ups don’t have a way to deal with it. They don’t want to be involved at all!

“A comrade from their side told me that deals were made. I don’t know the exact details and am investigating this... However, when that light pillar erupted in the area, some people appeared and their style is very similar to the police’s. If it’s really them...”

Zhang Wei’s smile turned slightly cold.

He did not expect them to be that daring.

Was this the reason why they refused to let them intervene in the matter?

This was because they were basically doing a positional sacrifice!

Judging from this, not only the men in black but also those corrupted officials were waiting for the completion of the Restart Array. They were expediting this in the dark!

It was no wonder...

It was no wonder it was so tough to investigate earlier on!

It was no wonder that the crisis in Qing Ming City was getting worse...

“Hang on.”

Lu Ming said in a deep voice, “We can win.”

“That powerful array...”

Zhang Wei was very worried.

Recently, he received a lot of information about the array and it was bad news. If the chance encounter had disappeared, those people would have already left!

They were still around...

There was only one possibility. They were waiting for the activation of the array!

“A friend of mine will be coming in these two days to help us take a look.”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “We’ll let her take a look first. The group of ancient tombs has been completely sealed now. Even if the Restart Array is still around, it’s not that easy to activate.”

“Okay.”

Zhang Wei hung up the phone.

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a long time and kept the matter in mind.

There was no use in being anxious.

After the ancient tomb experience, Lu Ming had become more calm and mature. Regardless of Qing Ming City’s fate, he wanted to ensure that he was powerful enough!

Therefore...

He would improve his ability as much as possible!

...

“Boss?”

A teenager wearing a hat suddenly entered.

“Hello.”

Lu Ming replied instinctively. He then found this voice familiar. At a closer look, he was stunned. He looked at the teenager in front of him. “Chang Liang?!”

Yes.

Chang Liang!

This guy was wearing a hat and Lu Ming almost could not recognize him!

“Why are you here?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

“I am here for some business.”

Chang Liang was still quite reserved. He said in a low voice, “Brother Lu, do you take Energy Cards? I have some Energy Cards and can sell them to you at half-price.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

Half price!

These were Energy Cards!

Cards that could fetch solid prices!

Although Chang Liang probably had only a few cards, no matter how small a mosquito was, there was still some flesh...

Swoosh!

Chang Liang poured out a sack of Energy Cards.

A full sack.

Three-star, four-star...

There was even a five-star Energy Card!

Lu Ming looked at Chang Liang, who had obviously just attained a three-star, and was shocked. “Where did you get these things from?”

“Selling sunglasses.”

“Chang Liang smiled embarrassingly. “After the competition, a company contacted me. I collaborated with the CEO and opened a sunglasses chain store.

“The business is pretty good.

“Then, today, I don’t know what happened but a light pillar appeared and a group of people wanted to enter it. They came to my shop to buy sunglasses...

“My goods are simply sold out...”

Chang Liang was also very shocked.

Those cultivators bought in bulk.

Most interestingly, some people bought hundreds of sunglasses at once and then left one for themselves to use. They simply destroyed the rest. He was not sure why they did that.

Therefore, his few warehouses of sunglasses were sold out!

That one hour of sale was comparable to his one year of business!

Lu Ming expressed his shock.

Crap!

Damn. That also works?!

True enough, one may distinguish oneself in any trade...

...

Very soon...

Chang Liang left after he settled his cards with Lu Ming.

After all, he was not in the business and could not keep these Energy Cards. He would fetch worse prices if he were to sell it to bigger shops. He might as well sell them to Lu Ming. It was more convenient and he was happier that way.

On the other hand, Lu Ming had benefited a lot.

Sunglasses shop...

Lu Ming was very tempted.

If he were to collaborate with Chang Liang to earn money like that...

However...

He looked at the brightening sky. That area had not recovered and people were still searching with their sunglasses on...

Forget it.

Lu Ming gave up.

Those people were not fools. Once was a coincidence but if it were to happen all the time...

Believe it or not, people would kill him?!

Also...

Sunglasses were not single-use consumption goods...

Therefore, Lu Ming could only regretfully give up his great business idea. He was not sure why but he suddenly felt that he had lost a hundred million yuan.

After all...

Not earning was equivalent to losing...

...

However...

Lu Ming had a positive mindset.

He would take it that these people were helping him test the Sunlight Card.

Although the process was somewhat tough and with many twists and turns, his research on Sunlight Card was finally completed. This five-star limit card also had its own combat data now.

——

Card name: Sunlight Card

Card Rating: Five-star

Card Type: ???

Card Effect: Summon a small sun and absorb a massive amount of light energy before erupting and forming a formidable light ripple effect that covers a wide geographical area. The center of the sun is the strongest. Its power gradually weakens as it gets further away from the center.

Attacking Prowess: Five-star standard

Special Effect: After the small sun explodes, the brightness will last for some time. There is no radiation.

Card Depletion: Ten thousand five-star energy points.

...

——

This was the current data.

The special explosion effect would draw people’s attention but the outcome...

It was too ordinary.

Based on the distance that Lu Ming had covered when he felt that something was amiss and the blow suffered by his back, he could estimate the prowess of the Sunlight Card!

Simply put...

This was an ordinary five-star card!

It was very ordinary.

If he were to cast it with beginner five-star energy, the center of the Sunlight Card would be filled with beginner five-star energy. It was almost a total conversion!

The only unique factor was the huge scope of geographical coverage!!!

However, to Lu Ming, this was the most useless ability!

“So...

The Sunlight Card is a card with an average group-targeted AOE [1.Area of effect] ability.”

Lu Ming sighed.

He was somewhat disappointed.

It was true.

Though the lightning integrated cards belonged to ordinary card series and there had no advanced or extraordinary cards, they had never disappointed Lu Ming!

This was because the essence of lightning integration was achieving the limit!

Regardless of the type or the level of the card, the card would explore the upper limit of its power! Its effect was to optimize and not advance!

However, this time...

The five-star Summon Card merely summoned sunlight and there was nothing special about it.

“Perhaps the direction of the casting is wrong?”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Perhaps...

This card was really the same as the Moonlight Card – the type that injected stimulants?

Oo...

It was a pity.

Be it him or Xiao-Xiaojian, they did not want to endure such scorching temperatures... because they might be barbecued directly... At the very least, they could not endure it at this stage!

After all...

Although their opponents were all five-star and above, Lu Ming was still a four-star. If he were to take on the Sunlight Card directly, he might really die from the heat on the spot...

Forget it.

He would try it again in the future.

He had only used it once this time and it was already earthshaking. If he were to use it a second time...

Most likely, these people would go crazy.

Oh.

He would put away the Sunlight Card temporarily and consider other trump cards.

Demolition series...

Cloud Shuttle series...

Well...

Lu Ming did not really feel like making these two cards because he was only a four-star now. It would really take a lot of effort to create a five-star card. Furthermore, he had to materialize the Original Card!

He had to retain the lines!

His Original Card could not contain more than one five-star card and Lu Ming also needed to familiarize himself with it as much as possible and materialize it with the fastest speed and in the shortest time possible. All of this required a huge amount of time, energy, and money...

Furthermore, the Demolition series and the Cloud Shuttle series cards were extremely unstable. They could fail at any point in time. For the current Lu Ming, it was too risky!

Trump cards...

Lu Ming suddenly recalled that he was a Sword Card Master and there was no need to look for cards. He had been studying the card stages but his swordplay progress...

“Xiao-Xiaojian.”

Lu Ming called the card over. “How’s the second move of the Lunar Shadow legacy going?”

“I already completed it yesterday.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was brimming with confidence.

“That fast?”

Lu Ming was elated.

“Haha.”

Its figure suspended in the air, Xiao-Xiaojian looked afar and said in a faint voice, “I merely used the time when you and Xiaobai ate barbecued fish for cultivation...”

“Cut the crap!”

Lu Ming yanked it over. “Let me see.”

Lu Ming was very emotional.

The second move for Lunar Shadow legacy! Done!

He clearly remembered that the first move was called Moonblade. After modification, it had transformed into Lightning Slash and its power was shocking. To date, it was his strongest trump card!

He still had things similar to the Moonlight Card to improve on!

Additionally, the sword spirit could also improve!

In his hands the Lunar Shadow legacy could completely unleash extraordinary prowess!

This second move...

There was a high likelihood that it would make him super amazing again!

“Hurry!

“Let me take a look.”

Lu Ming was very emotional.

“Okay.”

Xiao-Xiaojian agreed readily.

Shush!

The Original Card shone.

Suddenly...

Lu Ming asked, “What’s the name of this move?”

“Becoming one with the sword,” Xiao-Xiaojian said.

Becoming one with the sword sounded very great. But very soon, Lu Ming came to his senses. To become one with the sword, didn’t that mean that...

“Stop!” he shouted instinctively.

However...

It was too late.

Poof!

There was a crisp and clear sound.

Xiao-Xiaojian made a perfect trajectory and penetrated Lu Ming’s body.

凸(艹皿艹)!

Lu Ming’s face turned black instantly.

Damn!

I took you for a friend... You actually... penetrated me!
