Master Of Trading Star Card Game Chapter 30 Part1

Xie Mingzhe emptied his mind of all distracting thoughts, concentrating all his Inner Spirit on picturing Xi s.h.i.+ killing fish with the gauze in his mind clearly. He needed to depict cards, set skills as well as distribute the data at the same time, which is almost impossible for ordinary people.

However, Xie Mingzhe has had the experience of creating [Lin Daiyu] and [Xue Baochai] successfully before, so mult.i.tasking is not such a big deal for him right now.

The first card needed to be planned carefully. And it took Xie Mingzhe a good ten minutes to depict [Xi s.h.i.+] in his brain.

After he had finished picturing, the system prompted, "The creation of the card is completed. Please connect to the database to examine it."

Xie Mingzhe took up the card and checked it after the examination——

[Xi s.h.i.+] (Water)

Card Level: 1

Evolution Level: ★

Available Times of Use: 1/1

Base Attributes: Health 200, Attack 0, Defense 50, Agility 30, Critical Strike Chance 0%

Additional Skill: Sinking Fish (Causes huge damage to Fish cards. Has a 30% chance of triggering the instant death effect.)

The image of Xi s.h.i.+ on the card was attractive and graceful. She held the white gauze gently, yet all fish are terrified by her.

He made it!

Xie Mingzhe put away [Xi s.h.i.+] with great excitement, and then he started making [w.a.n.g Zhaojun] immediately.

As one of the Four Great Beauties※, w.a.n.g Zhaojun was famous for the legend of "making birds in flight fall". She got married and had to live beyond the great wall. One day she was homesick and played the song 'Farewell to My Country' with the Chinese lute alone. The depressing tune plus w.a.n.g Zhaojun's beauty even made birds in flight fall.

After considering the setting, Xie Mingzhe started to picture the image of this beauty.

Xi s.h.i.+ was a beauty who lived in the south of the Yangtze River, so she wears a soft gauze dress. But Zhaojun needed to put on some thick clothes because she had to live in the place beyond the great wall after getting married. Putting some furry decorations on the collar, cuffs as well as the bottom of the dress, and adding a bright red cloak will make her look fantastic. Everyone can feel the desolation and loneliness by just seeing her clothes.

Afterwards Xie Mingzhe designed a weapon for w.a.n.g Zhaojun——a Chinese lute. The beauty plucked strings with her long, slender fingers, and the tune shocked wild geese on the horizon and made them fall.

In the picture, all the key elements were striking: the beauty, the Chinese lute and falling wild geese. And the composition was very integrated.

The process of creating this card was smooth too.

After the ten-minute process of depicting with great attention, the card pa.s.sed the examination and was stamped with the logo "月半" on the reverse, which was familiar to players.

[w.a.n.g Zhaojun] (Metal)

Card Level: 1

Evolution Level: ★

Available Times of Use: 1/1

Base Attributes: Health 200, Attack 0, Defense 100, Agility 30, Critical Strike Chance 0%

Additional Skill: Making Flying Wild Geese Fall (Causes huge damage to wild goose cards. Has a 30% chance of triggering the instant death effect.)

Xie Mingzhe attached importance to the Agility value and concentrated all his Inner Spirit to increase its number, while other attributes, such as health and defense, were randomly created by the system and their numbers were low. Since a strategy card can only be used once, there is no distinct difference between health 10 and health 100.

However, Xie Mingzhe noticed that the attribute of this card had changed.

As for the attribute, [w.a.n.g Zhaojun] was different than [Lin Daiyu], [Xue Baochai] and [Xi s.h.i.+], cards that he had created.

Why was [w.a.n.g Zhaojun] a card with the Metal attribute?

Scratching his head, Xie Mingzhe looked at this new card carefully, yet he couldn't figure it out.

Just then he received a voice PM from "7456789", Tang Muzhou's smurf account: "Uncle Chubby, your store's announcement says that there will be new cards apart from [Lin Daiyu] and [Xue Baochai] at noon tomorrow. Have new cards been created already?"

It was a perfect chance to ask Legend Tang for help since he was the one who called, and therefore Xie Mingzhe said, "Legend Tang, do you have spare time? I have some questions to ask you."

Tang Muzhou said, "Okay. Invite me to your Individual s.p.a.ce."

Translator's Note:

The Four Beauties or Four Great Beauties are four Chinese women renowned for their beauty. These were Xi s.h.i.+, w.a.n.g Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Guifei. They gained their reputation from the influence they exercised over kings and emperors and, consequently, the way their actions impacted Chinese history. Three of the Four Beauties brought kingdoms to their knees and their lives ended in tragedy.

Xi s.h.i.+/w.a.n.g Zhaojun/Diao Chan/Yang Guifei

Xi s.h.i.+ (c. 7th to 6th century BC, Spring and Autumn period), said to be so entrancingly beautiful that fish would forget how to swim and sink below the surface upon seeing her reflection in the water.

w.a.n.g Zhaojun (c. 1st century BC, Western Han Dynasty), said to be so beautiful that her appearance would entice birds in flight to fall from the sky.

Diao Chan (c. 3rd century, Three Kingdoms period), said to be so luminously lovely that the moon itself would shy away in embarra.s.sment when compared to her face. Unlike the other Beauties, there is no evidence she actually existed historically.

Yang Guifei(719-756, Tang Dynasty), said to have a face that puts all flowers to shame.
