Divine Card Creator

406 You“re Not Allowed To Ride the Original Card!!!

Tian Du City.

Early morning.

A new day had come.

Lu Ming woke up lazily. He looked at the Original Card moving up and down in the corner of the room and then looked at the shadow cultivating diligently, and gave them a grateful smile.

It was another day of hard work.

Well...

It felt wonderful.

He got out of bed.

Lu Ming walked to the door after he finished washing up.

According to his routine, Xiaobai would have already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him. Hehe. At the thought of this, the corners of Lu Ming’s mouth curled into a faint smile.

Shush!

He pushed open the door.

“Good morning, Master!”

A familiar voice, like that of a bass, rang in his ears.

The smile on Lu Ming’s face froze. He took a closer look at the person who was waiting for him at the door. “Li Haoran?”

“Yes.”

Li Haoran scratched his head with embarrassment. “Senior Sister went out. She is leading the disciples for a flying practice today. She thus told me to come and take a look as she’s afraid that no one is taking care of you.”

With that...

He put down the food in his hands. There were Liangpi, beancurd and oil-fried fritters.

Well...

This was a familiar breakfast.

Ss——

Lu Ming gasped as he slurped the Liangpi.

No one stopped him.

Tsk.

It was no fun.

“You may go.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“Yes.”

Li Haoran left respectfully.

Heh.

Lu Ming felt slightly emotional. Lead the team out for a flying practice? Xiaobai had already reached this stage? He had to work harder.

...

Right then...

Tian Du City.

Somewhere.

Beams of lights traversed in the sky.

Some cultivators who passed by looked up and were shocked and terrified to discover many people flying in the sky. There was a dazzling radiance beneath the crotches of these people...

Crotches?

The passers-by rubbed their eyes and took a closer look. It was true.

The most terrifying thing was... There was also a dazzling glow beneath the skirt of a girl...

Ss——

The passers-by were stunned.

I-is this the legendary *** Kinesis Flight?

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The flying team flashed across the sky.

At the forefront, Xiaobai’s feet were on the Original Card. When she heard the passersby’s comments, she felt strange. Her little face froze the moment she turned around.

“You guys are not allowed to ride the Original Card!!!”

Xiaobai was furious.

The consequence would be very serious.

Who rides the Original Card during Card Kinesis Flight?!

The Original Card is too small!

Have you guys considered the Original Card’s feelings?

“I’m sorry.”

The disciples took out their Original Card from below their crotches and then placed it beneath their feet.

“Humph!

Xiaobai snorted. “I’ll deduct 200 accumulated points each if you disobey the rules again!”

“Yes.”

The disciples kept quiet out of fear.

Two hundred accumulated points...

To them, it was equivalent to half a month of accumulated points!

Hence...

The flying team rectified their flying.

The disciples of the Sword Card Master Association took off again. They streaked a perfect arc across the air and broke through the sky.

“Xiao-Xiaobai.”

Xiaobai’s tiny face was filled with worries. “Tell me, are the guidelines reliable?”

The guidelines said, “When two people are very close in a relationship but are not progressing, they have to separate from each other for a period of time and let the other party realize the importance of their presence.”

Well...

This sounded logical?

She had also read countless such books and they said the same thing.

Therefore...

She had deliberately gone out today. There should not be a problem?

Xiao-Xiaobai, “٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶”

“Yes.”

Xiaobai nodded. “I think so too.”

She trusted Master!

She also trusted herself!

Xiaobai thought of that astonishing figure of Senior Qiu Shuyi and then glanced at her own small frame. She was instantly filled with worries. How was she going to compete with that?

After all...

Senior Qiu’s were so huge!

“Xiao-Xiaobai.

“Will I grow up to be like Senior Qiu?” Xiaobai asked.

Xiao-Xiaobai, “(〃’▽’〃)”

“I know.”

Xiaobai felt discouraged.

Snort!

She knew that those books were lying!

Papayas!

Recipes!

She had eaten them for a long time but they were not effective at all! Furthermore, according to her basic knowledge of biology studies. one had to possess extraordinary genes to be on the same level as Senior Qiu!

She was afraid that she would not stand a chance!

Unless...

There was a miracle!

Hence...

A sudden idea flashed across Xiaobai’s mind. There was a sparkle in her big eyes.

“You’re not allowed to listen!”

Xiaobai glared at Xiao-Xiaobai. “Shield your sense of perception.”

Xiao-Xiaobai was speechless.

Afterward...

Xiaobai shielded its sense of perception.

However, because it had telepathy with Xiaobai, some things could be vaguely heard even though the card had been shielded.

Hence...

It replaced those words that it should not hear with ** and could still briefly guess the content.

“**, Oh, **, you have already grown up. You are a mature **.... You must learn to ** yourself. You have to grow until you’re the same size as that of Senior Qiu Shuyi...”

Xiao-Xiaobai, “(o゚▽゚)o”

Goodness.

Master has gone crazy.

...

At this very moment...

Sword Card Master Association.

Li Haoran was reporting to Lu Ming about the latest developments of the association.

The Sword Card Master Association had already built a data model and completed the talent algorithm. Based on the initial data of various vocations, they had carried out verification, rectification, analysis, deductions and eventually formed the talent score assessment mechanism!

At this moment.

‘Talent Rebuild System’ v1.0 was out!

“Did you complete all of this?”

Lu Ming was shocked.

“You’re the one who gave good guidance.”

Li Haoran felt somewhat embarrassed. Master was the one who provided many creative ideas and he dared not take the credit. “I’ve discussed this with Senior Sister Xiaobai. For that massive amount of data that required calculations, we’ve assigned them as homework to the spirit body department. To be precise, this is a joint effort of everyone, including the spirit bodies!”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Damn!

Can spirit bodies learn that fast?

Instinctively...

He thought of that mathematics moron from his family...

Shush!

Xiao-Xiaojian hid itself in the card bag quietly.

Whoosh—

Lu Ming sighed and could not be bothered with it. He took a closer look at the new algorithm. In fact, he had communicated with Li Haoran a few times on this.

However, what would Li Haoran come up with eventually?

He was not sure.

After all...

As a programmer in his past life, he has had hundreds of disagreements with product managers... Everyone had totally different perspectives!

What is blue for you?

Anyway, it’s not the blue color the product manager sees.

What is black color for you?

Anyway, it’s not the same black color as the product manager’s.

The color black was not as simple and straightforward. That was a battleground of homicides between countless programmers and product managers!

Therefore...

Lu Ming was mentally prepared to revise this system many times.

However...

Li Haoran actually understood it thoroughly!

It was successful in one try!

What did this mean?

It meant that he, Lu Ming, had provided him with excellent guidance...

Cough.

What is the ordinary definition of talent?

Upon Lu Ming’s decision, the talent that they referred to was composite talent!

Right.

Composite!

This was common knowledge amongst gamers. For example, Power 9, Strength 9, Intellect 9, Agility and so on. On what grounds could talent be judged altogether?!

Was a Stavesman genius suitable for other vocations?

It did not seem to be.

Not every vocation needed Staveman talent, right?

Anyway.

Some people were good at being Swordsmen and others Elementalists. However, would there be a problem if these people were to switch to another vocation? Would they still be considered geniuses?

It did not seem to be the case.

If a certain Elementalist had a talent score of ten but unfortunately could not understand anything about card creating, he would become a joke at the Card Creators Association!

This was the problem with the past talent judgment systems.

And now...

With the new talent system, they could carry out ratings for all forms of talent!

Basic vocation talent = cultivation speed*weight factor + vocation comprehension*weight factor + vocation specific characteristic*weight factor.

For example...

Elementalist vocation talent = cultivation speed*weight factor + Elementalist ability comprehension*weight factor + Sea of Consciousness stability*weight factor.

Another example was—

Swordsman vocation talent = cultivation speed*weight factor + swordplay comprehension*weight factor + mental strength*weight factor.

And so on.

The final figure would depend on the adjustments of the various major vocations. This data also needed to go through a mass data averaging.

In this algorithm, the upper limit was 100 points. This would represent a top-notch genius!

In that case...

The talent assessment would become very visual and intuitive!

What vocation are you most suited for? What vocation do you have the most affinity with?

It was clear with one glance.

It was to the extent that...

With this, you don’t even need to compete with the other associations for talent.

In the past, when everyone said a certain young individual was a genius, all the vocations would compete for him. However, after they successfully recruited him, the teen’s genius went downhill! There were many such cases!

Why?

There was a high likelihood that he was not suitable for the vocation!

And now...

With this talent system, they no longer needed to waste their resources competing.

Of course.

The algorithm and data for cultivation speed and vocation comprehension were covered in the calculation method. It would not be displayed because they were too complicated!

It was still fine for Swordsmen.

What about other hidden vocations such as the Sword Card Master?!

The Sword Card Master talent = cultivation speed*weight factor + swordplay comprehension*weight factor + card creator comprehension*weight factor + spirit body comprehension*weight factor.

Yes.

The Sword Card Master vocation not only assessed one’s basic cultivation speed but also swordplay, Card Creator talent and spirit body talent... All of this would influence the final outcome!

Therefore...

The Sword Card Master talent was composite data!

As such...

For the final algorithm that Li Haoran and guys came up with, it was not necessary to display all of this. It just had to display the final and composite result. That would do!

This was their final outcome.

“Have you tested it?”

Lu Ming asked.

“Yes.”

Li Haoran was very certain. “I’ve tested in on the few of us.”

With that...

Li Haoran displayed a set of data.

——

Talent assessment.

Name: Li Haoran

Card Creator Talent: about 75 points

Sword Card Master Talent: about 62 points

Swordsman Talent: about 56 points

Elementalist Talent: about 52 points

...

Energy Warrior Talent: about 22 points

Sharpshooter Talent: about 21 points

...

Note: Because the source of the data sample was obtained from the Internet, the deviation is 0% to 20%.

——

There were a total of 30 vocations in this long list of data!

Based on the yearly data provided by each association, Li Haoran made weighted calculations for the common vocations and the end result was a high deviation of 20%. Nevertheless, this system could still be used!

This was the ‘Talent Rebuild System’ version 1.0!

This was crazy!

Lu Ming was amazed.

Look.

This was the real talent assessment?! Although the current data had a huge margin of error, it was fine. This data would only become increasingly accurate overtime!

Of course.

He was also very surprised by Li Haoran’s data.

For example...

Energy Warrior Talent.

“Is your body that weak?”

Lu Ming took a glance at Li Haoran. Forget it that this guy’s talent for Energy Warrior was 22 points. The main point was that he had a worse talent score for Sharpshooter. What did this mean?

Weak body + poor aiming...

The problem was very serious.

“You don’t have a girlfriend, right?

“Take care of your health.”

Lu Ming patted his shoulder with concern.

Li Haoran was teary-eyed.

Master, this is talent!

Poor talent does not equate to poor health! I am already a five-star now, alright!

At this very moment...

Lu Ming was still reviewing this set of data.

Li Haoran was also considered a rare Card Creator talent. Unexpectedly, his Card Creator talent was only 75 points!

Even if there was a deviation of 20%, the score should not be that low!

“Is there something wrong with the Card Creator talent score?”

Lu Ming made a guess.

“It has been adjusted.”

Li Haoran scratched his head. “Because of the addition of weight, therefore the calculation method is not as simple as 1+1 = 2. It is very complicated. The basis of our end result is to use a genius with ultimate talent as the benchmark. That genius’s score is taken as 100 points. We even set aside talent scores above 100 points to cater for possible changes in the future.”

“Whose score is taken as 100 points?”

Lu Ming pointed at the Sword Card Master talent and said curiously, “Xiaobai?”

After pondering, Xiaobai was the only one in the entire Sword Card Master Association qualified for the score of 100 points!

“For this unit of measurement, we termed it ‘one-eighth of bai’,” Li Haoran explained.

“Huh?”

Lu Ming looked dumbstruck.

Damn it. Is there such a measurement unit?

“It means one-eight of Senior Sister Xiaobai’s numerical value.”

Li Haoran sighed.

“One-eighth?”

Lu Ming was taken aback.

“Indeed.”

Li Haoran felt helpless. ”

Li Haoran explained in detail that they had tried a few thousand ways to calculate.

With that...

He even drew a very complicated curve for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took a glance at it.

→_→

Well...

He could not understand it.

“Have you tried to find the reason for this?”

Lu Ming asked.

“We’ve checked many times. Senior Sister’s talent is very special. We suspect that this is a result of quantization as the data in the Internet may be outdated. Therefore, we have temporarily excluded Senior Sister’s data. We can review it again in the subsequent versions,” Li Haoran explained.

“Are you sure that this will work?”

Lu Ming was very doubtful.

Fine.

They only tested a handful of people and excluded one of them...

“I am certain.

“At the very least, ‘Talent Rebuild System’ v1.0 works in this way. If we have a massive amount of data to support it, this problem may be solved!”

Li Haoran had no other way too.

Senior Sister’s data was not slightly higher than ordinary.

If the data was 120% to 150%, it was fine to include her. However, it was 800% and the entire algorithm would collapse!

It was to the extent that...

People who scored below 100 points would doubt their life.

As such, it was best not to include it.

There were always some devil players in this world and they did not belong to the masses. It was also a form of fairness to exclude them from the data.

Well...

Lu Ming roughly understood now.

Although version 1.0 was already completed, there was still a very serious problem!!!

For example...

1. There was a huge margin of error of 20%!

2. Xiaobai’s out of the world talent could not be included in the statistics!

“So...

“We will be able to succeed if we carry out big data testing?”

Lu Ming felt energized.

“Yes.”

Li Haoran was certain.

Right now...

They were only a step away from the final release of the talent system!

If they could have a large amount of the latest and accurate data for testing to make the rectifications, ‘Talent Rebuild System’ v.2.0 would definitely be completed successfully!

Well...

It would be a talent rebuild system in the true sense!!!

“How many people do we need?”

Lu Ming was excited.

This was just talent testing and if they did not need that many people, they could hire people to do that...

“In theory, the more, the better. At the very least, we need at least 100,000 people,” Li Haoran went on to say.

Shush!

There was a sudden silence in the office.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

More than 100,000 people!

Damn, are you kidding me!

Where am I going to find that many cultivators?!

However...

It was useless to complain. They had to resolve this problem.

“In that case...”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of a good solution. “If we go to the train station and provide free body check-ups for the cultivators...”

“Master.”

Li Haoran quickly stopped him. “Last week, the police has just devastated the den of criminals involved in erotic activities who did the same thing at the train station.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

“A—alright.”

He read the project brief.

Testing this data required a few common devices. Coupled with the main algorithm of the ‘Talent Rebuild System’, if they could open this up to everyone for free...

“What about cooperating with the other associations?”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Which association doesn’t have at least 100,000 members nowadays?

They could just ‘seduce’ any one of them...

“I tried but they’ve rejected us.”

Li Haoran sighed.

There were costs involved in physical examinations!

Who could endure forcing more than 100,000 people to come back for testing and physical examination? They were not willing even if we were to pay for this!

“Not even when we are paying for it?”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

“Yes.”

Li Haoran felt very ashamed.

If it was possible, he did not want to trouble Master. He had left his contact information to a dozen associations but most of them could not be bothered with them.

There were a few which did not even respond despite calling them a few times...

Buzz—

Li Haoran’s wristband suddenly vibrated.

He took a glance and picked up the phone excitedly.

“Hello.”

Li Haoran felt somewhat emotional.

This was the Wind Elementalist Association. If they were to agree...

“Are you Li Haoran?”

A cold and aloof voice could be heard from the other side of the phone. “Don’t call us anymore. Don’t you find it annoying to call us thrice everyday. We’ve already told you that we’re not collaborating with you guys!

“Not even if you fork out all the costs!

“Humph!

“Nowadays, any Tom, Dick and Harry associations are joining in the fun!”

Bang.

The other side hung up.

Li Haoran switched off the screen awkwardly. “Sorry, Master.”

“Which association was that?”

Lu Ming asked calmly.

“Elementalist Association, Wind Elementalist branch.”

Li Haoran felt guilty.

“I understand now.”

Lu Ming’s expression was calm.

Hehe.

Wind Elementalist branch, right?

Lu Ming looked at the ‘Talent Rebuild System’ data and suddenly understood. Few people would see the value in products that were rushed out.

Therefore...

He had to popularize this!

That was not all. He wanted these people to beg for it!!!

“Haoran.

“Prepare the algorithm. I’m going to sell it,” Lu Yan said calmly.

“Master! The data is not accurate!”

Li Haoran felt super guilty.

He had wanted to make it known to everyone but it was not feasible at all!

The reason was very simple...

The score was not accurate!

There were possible errors even when he tested himself twice, much less other people?! It was impossible for anyone to buy such an under-developed system!

Think about it.

You may score 50 points this time and then 70 points the next time!

Would you still use it?!

He was afraid that people would call it garbage after they used it once?!

“This is easy to resolve.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly. “Since there is a deviation, we will adopt the deviation method. Do you think everything in this world has a 100 point system?!”

Hence...

Lu Ming made the final call and changed the talent judgment method.

——

Talent Rating.

00 – 20 points, Green Bronze League

21 – 40 points, White Silver League

41 – 60 points, Golden League

61 – 80 points, Diamond League

81 – 99 points, Great Master League

100 points, King League

——

“From now onwards, we won’t display the score in the algorithm data. We will only display the final rating!”

“Come.

“Tell me, is there any margin of error now?”

Lu Ming said calmly.

Li Haoran could not come to his senses for a long time.

T-this can be done as well?!

There does not seem to be any problem now...

Wait a minute.

Li Haoran suddenly thought of something. “Master, what if someone’s result is white silver league the first time and golden the second?”

“It’s very simple.”

Lu Ming said calmly, “That means that his talent is at the peak of white silver league and he will occasionally enter the golden league when he is in his top form. Is there a problem with this?”

Li Haoran was speechless.

In that case... There did not seem to be any problem now!

However...

If it was just the algorithm, would people buy it?

He had failed many times!

“They refuse to give us a chance.”

Li Haoran felt very worried.

“Don’t worry.

“I have a way.”

At the sight of Li Haoran’s expression, Lu Ming could not stifle his laugh. “You guys... It seems that a long time has passed. It’s been so long that you guys forgot how I rose to power...”

Eh?

Li Haoran’s heart trembled. Could it be that...

The next day.

Lu Ming, president of Sword Card Master Association, the creator of Fruit Ninja and Leviathan Card, launched a brand new card called ‘Talent Card’!

This rocked the entire world!
