Chapter 51: The Cardmaker's Association (Part One)

    

e Are you new here" A thin and tall Taoist priest saw Lu Cheng enter the door and immediately came up to him."Well, hello fellow disciple," Lu said politely. He hadn't expected so many people inside e..."Lu Cheng, card making requires a foundation. Google search .com."

"Teacher, I've self-studied and have a foundation." Lu immediately replied.

Now there are two material cards in the deck that need to be dealt with.

One 【Cecilia's Eternal Obsession】, one 【Eternal Sandalwood】.

Both cards need further development to be transformed into combat power!

About ten minutes later, the messages on that side flashed.

"The school's rules don't allow it, but my husband used to be a card maker, and I know some people. You can try going to the Card Maker Association with me. Go to school tomorrow and wait for me at the entrance of the city's Card Maker Association after school."

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up, "Teacher Lu has connections in this area"

I know she's a support player who uses gemstone cards, her teaching level is decent. As for her husband I've never heard her mention him...

Lu Cheng wasn't a gossipy person, other people's family affairs had nothing to do with him. After thanking Teacher Lu, he went offline.

.......

The next day, back at school, he and Tang Wenyao were surrounded.

A flock of birds were clamoring to ask about the secret realm.

This time, the secret realm's death toll exceeded 5,000. If not for Wang Han and Lu Cheng, the final number could have reached over 20,000.

It is said that Wang Han's hospital room was filled with thank-you letters, which made Lu Cheng curious because three of them were delivered to his class.

Of course, one of them was sent by Wang Han himself.......

Wang Han has always believed that Lu Cheng saved his life. He has invited Lu Cheng out to get together several times, but because he was fully focused on cultivation and charging his domain card in the past few days, he politely declined.

Mr. Lu also wanted the class monitor to post the letter on the honor wall.... but he was strongly opposed by Lü Cheng and Tang Wenyao!

This time, the support squad really shined! It's been a long time since we've seen students from Winter Lion Academy. This time, the team of five students defeated the corrupted Pinocchio, with Lu Cheng standing strong until the very end.

The principal was very pleased and gave Lu Cheng a full 100 credits. Tang Wenyao also received over 80 credits for her excellent performance in the secret realm.

100 credits, Lu Cheng estimated.

Even if he only gets three points, he can still advance smoothly!

This is a good thing, he thought to himself, because he didn't think he would pass the Carthus Language, Basic Surgery, and Carthus History exams.

.......

After school, Lu Cheng came to the Winter Lion City Card Maker Association. Teacher Lu was already there ahead of him.

Her private car was different from Lu Cheng's crowded bus commute.

Lu Jianhong greeted Lu Cheng with a smile. He was very satisfied with this student. Not long after she started school, she had brought him face twice.

"Hello, Teacher Lu," Lu Cheng greeted.

Come here, teacher will take you in.

The Cardmaker's Association is a comprehensive organization unique to the Lionheart Kingdom.

Before me stands a gigantic Gothic structure, five stories tall. On either side are two banners: one the Winter Lion and the other the iron tent representing the Artificer's Guild.

Besides the market, this place should be the busiest spot in town.

Lu Cheng remembered that during the Tian Sheng Empire, the card-making industry was booming. Many card makers even set up street stalls, so there wasn't such a centralized management organization.

As soon as the two entered, they were in the hall, where there were the most people.

Card masters with card-making needs can make an online appointment through the Card Master Network. Then, they bring their cards to the lobby for notarization. Next, the Card Making Guild will assign the task.

Lu Cheng thinks this model is very good. The whole process is under supervision, so the possibility of problems is small.

Just like in the old days of the Tiansheng Empire, it wasn't uncommon for street vendors who made cards to run off with their customers' cards.

"Lu Cheng, procedurally, the Academy can't approve freshmen from coming here for further study. You also wouldn't pass the test. Your teacher is privately bringing you to learn, so this year, you represent yourself only. After you choose Cardmaking as an elective in your second year, the school will then fill out your resume. Does that work for you"

It's fine, Lu Cheng readily agreed.

"By the way, you usually only have a lot of elective course time starting in your second year. Making cards and electives are different things. If you come here, it might delay your learning our winter lion courses."

"Teacher, don't worry, I will advance smoothly."

Lu Cheng said inwardly, "Of course there's time. 100 credits are meaningless if you don't skip class. For example, Professor Lu's class... could be skipped."

Lu Jianhong took Lu Cheng upstairs and went directly to the association's card-making area.

It's even more lively here than downstairs.

Two old men were arguing red-faced, Lu Cheng took a glance, this was the summon card crafting area.

"Cultivation is the most important step in summoning card ascension. Take this [Frostfang Wolf] as an example. When I first got it, it was thin and weak. If I had forced armor on it, it wouldn't have advanced, and instead, because it couldn't bear the weight, its star level would be limited. After carefully raising it for a while, I equipped it with armor, and it then broke through the white card barrier, evolving into [Frostfang Wolf (Armored)]!"

"Old Wang is rambling again, what's the time it takes to cultivate If I were making cards, I'd find a way to make them evolve, like a Two-Headed Frostfang Wolf or a Frostwing Wolf. Their combat power might even be stronger than yours!"

But what about the card's lifespan!

.......

If a card's functionality changes or its star level is upgraded, it can be called "card crafting." Amongst card crafters, some excel at breeding, others at forging, some at architecture, and others at enchanting....

Master card makers usually have their own unique, closely guarded secret recipes that are not shared publicly. These cannot be learned here.

Here you can learn some popular techniques, but that's enough.

Now Lu Cheng only needs to master some advanced techniques to handle his two cards.

As for the future He knew how terrifying the amount of resources in his mind's black card was, and how much technology there was in the entire Eastern civilization.

These will all become his strongest support. To be honest, as long as he is willing to learn, even a pig can become a master card maker in the professional industry.

Lu Jianhong led Lu Cheng to a secluded corner, which seemed to be located in the building area.

A ragged old man was drinking alone in a corner.

The Winter Lion Kingdom has eleven major cities.

Every city's card maker association strives every year to secure massive government funding.

Winterfell was the first capital of the Kingdom of Winter, but as a border town, its economic focus shifted inward, and development here has declined increasingly.

This translates to:

The situation in the Winter Lion City Card Master Association is that funds are dwindling, and talent is constantly being lost. This year's newcomers are even worse... The association is getting increasingly difficult to manage.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He was brooding when a woman's voice reached him.
