At the same time, in the Adjudication Club.

Shan Lan had scarcely put the video communication device down when he saw Nie Yuandao coming out of the bathroom after a shower. Nie was wearing a bathrobe with its belt fastened loosely around his waist, which showed his masculine bronze skin and s.e.xy eight abdominals subtly.

Shan Lan flushed and averted his eyes from the man who was approaching him. He s.h.i.+fted his position, saying, "s.h.i.+fu."

"Well." Nie Yuandao responded in a deep voice, and sat next to his apprentice naturally. "Who were you talking to?" he asked.

Shan Lan took a deep breath and tried to control his heartbeat by ignoring the heat from his s.h.i.+fu. Then he answered:"Ye Zhu complained to me that there were b.u.t.terfly IDE cards in 月半's store. How can he make IDE cards with MAX Agility in such a short time? I suspect he was instructed by a master. "

"That is a real possibility." Nie Yuandao said in a steady and even voice, "He has gotten all the data ratios for original cards. Huan Yue got a [Xue Baochai] today and brought it to me. That card is pretty good because it is much better than [Wu Song], the original one."

"Wu Song Slaying the Tiger, Daiyu Burying the Flowers, Baochai Chasing b.u.t.terflies……How many IDE cards does he want to make?" Shan Lan put his hand on his forehead, suffering from a headache, "We should have offered him some more attractive conditions when we wanted to sign him. "

"That wouldn't work. Maybe the fact that we bought out the copyright of [Wu Song] made him truly aware of the importance of copyright." Nie Yuandao said with certainty, "He won't consider joining our club unless we let him own the copyright of his cards."

"But if we do so, we will put ourselves at risk." Shan Lan thought that it was impossible for the high-level decision makers to agree with conditions like "copyright freedom" as well, "Having the copyright of all his cards, he can leave with his cards whenever he wants. In addition, he will have access to confidential information of the Adjudication Club and know card groups of all the players. Which club dares to sign him with that condition?"

"That's the reason why the more talented a designer is, the more reluctant a club would be in giving up the card copyrights. Clubs can't handle consequential disasters of talented designers' job hopping." Nie Yuandao stopped, and then lowered his voice. "Think about it, Legend Lin fought against the club over copyright issues originally. He even made a lawsuit against the club. The dispute continued for half a year and influenced the whole league. All clubs then amended their contracts."

Nie Yuandao wanted to stand on his feet and get a bottle of water after saying all these things. Shan Lan antic.i.p.ated him thoughtfully as well as immediately. His eyes shone with admiration and grat.i.tude when he pa.s.sed a gla.s.s of water to his s.h.i.+fu, " I know that since those troubles caused by Legend Lin, every club's contracts have become stricter than before, and players' card copyrights have been controlled by their clubs. I wouldn't have my card copyright if s.h.i.+fu didn't support me in the shareholders' meeting and signed an extra five-year contract with the Adjudication Club that year. Thanks to your help, now I can create cards freely. I owe you a great debt of grat.i.tude, and I will never forget that……"

Nie Yuandao interrupted him, "You don't need to express your grat.i.tude to me everyday. I'm your s.h.i.+fu, so it is my duty to take care of you."

"…" Shan Lan slightly blushed. He avoided Nie Yuandao's eyes, bowing his head and remaining silent.

Nie Yuandao looked at his apprentice doubtfully, "Why are you blus.h.i.+ng?"

Shan Lan quickly coughed and got back on topic, "You mean that Uncle Chubby won't sign with any clubs because of copyright issues?"

Nie Yuandao said seriously, "It's a good thing that he refuses to sign with any clubs. At least, he will not join forces with Tang Muzhou, Ling Jingtang and Fang Yu to deal with us. In the near future, other clubs will become aware of his talent and will try their best to attract him, but none of them will dare to sign him, and accept such a high risk, so long as he insists on his owners.h.i.+p of the copyright of his cards."

"So won't we continue to court him?" Shan Lan could not reconcile himself to the fact that they had failed to attract Uncle Chubby.

"Let's wait and see his change of att.i.tude towards this issue." Nie Yuandao stood up and walked to the training room, "Don't worry too much about it. Your set of cards are birds, which are the most difficult to be directed against. I don't think Chubby will create bird IDE cards so soon even if he has a master to guide him."

"…" Is it OK to say so?

Ye Zhu, who laughed the most happily in the chat group yesterday, was promptly targeted against by b.u.t.terfly IDE cards today. Nie Yuandao's words sent s.h.i.+vers down Shan Lan's spine. He always felt that Uncle Chubby might really create IDE cards that were aimed at him, which would be against his s.h.i.+fu's expectation.

The more Shan Lan thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He would go to see Uncle Chubby's new cards tomorrow at noon.

In game, Xie Mingzhe was happily calculating the income.

He made a name for himself by using the "hunger marketing" when he first entered the market. He only made a small amount of cards and sold them slowly. On one hand, he could save his Inner Spirit and time, allowing him to think about how to make new cards. On the other hand, this strategy could also ensure steady foot traffic. People who failed to buy his new cards today would become impatient and come to buy his cards tomorrow, but he would make other new cards when they came, so those people had no option but to come to buy his cards the day after tomorrow.

"月半 Card Store" would become famous among players and major clubs in a week. His new cards would naturally become popular among players. People who paid attention to IDE cards would surely advertise his cards with the help of the ma.s.ses.

His turnover today had reached 2,000,000 gold coins.

He had been astonished by the fortune he had made by selling [Wu Song]'s copyright to Legend Nie. But now, he took this large sum of money for granted and didn't feel surprised, because his cards were worth the price.

After the opening of his store, he had sold 10 [Lin Daiyu]s and 10 [Xue Baochai]s for 2,000,000 gold coins. But this was just the start.

He still had inspiration for two cards. He would find time to consider how to make them and then make them carefully. He would earn big bucks tomorrow.
