Chapter 54: The Things About Burial Mounds

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the card’s surface.

The scene was just as desolate.

It was just that this time it was no longer empty hills. There was a stick on it. A rag was hung on the stick. It looked like diapers that had not been washed cleanly.

And then…

There was nothing more.

“What does this mean?”

Lu Ming felt slightly nervous.

He could not tell anything from this image!

That rag…

Lu Ming looked at it for a long time.

Oh, it did not seem like a diaper. There seemed to be some kind of symbol on that rag. It was like a religious symbol. Perhaps it was some kind of flag?

“The flag on a b-burial mound?”

Lu Ming could not understand what this meant.

Wait a minute…

Judging from what happened with the Demolition Card last time, the flag on the burial mound seemed to be the outcome after the card was released? However, what ability had a burial mound with a flag as an outcome?

Or perhaps…

There was something similar?

“Let’s do a search.”

Lu Ming thought about it, searching on the Internet.

He typed the word “burial” into the products library…

Shush!

There were a number of weird results.

Burial Mound Disco Dancing card set: make the dead had fun with you!

Burial Mound Drift card set: the indomitable Mount Haruna spirit!

Burial Mound Bathroom Infrared Heater card set: cast light on dark hell!

Burial Mound Happy Drink: make love even though one partner is dead!

…

Lu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.

What the hell was this?

To hell with it!

The most terrifying thing was that some of the products had been purchased. He subconsciously looked at the review: “It was not bad. Grandpa said that he quite liked it.”

Was that family that scary?

He checked, the review seemed to be for Happy Drink…

Goodness!

The grandpa was amazing!

…

Lu Ming closed the web page with a blank face.

Well…

His gaze returned to the new card.

A—alright.

Since the last Demolition Card, he realized that it was no longer viable to tell the effects of the card from the card surface. He would not know anything unless he created the card?!

He would not be able to tell the most basic things!

This was such a con!

Could it be that all high-levels cards are like this?

Lu Ming was doubtful.

He checked the energy requirement of the card.

Well…

Ten thousand points!

It was three thousand points more than seven cards together!

This meant that Lu Ming would not be able to use this card for a long time. He could only use it as his Cultivation Card to increase his energy level.

This was a standard three-star card!

Lu Ming finally understood.

He seemed to have some ideas.

Initially, he integrated the Brutal Charge to become the Bulls Card. That was a one-star Energy Card and its energy requirement was very low!

After he integrated the Bulls Cards to become the Demolition Card, that was a two-star card, the energy requirement was as high as one thousand points! This was the lowest energy level of the ordinary two-star cultivator!

But right now…

The new card required ten thousand points of energy!

This was the lowest energy level of three-star cultivator as well!

Therefore…

Under normal circumstances, the card that he had was a standard three-star card!

It was not only a three-star card, it was also one of the more powerful cards among the three-star cards. Normal three-star cards would not consume so much energy!

No one’s energy consumption was that high?!

In general, the lowest energy consumption for one-star cards was fifty points, two hundred points for two-star cards and one thousand points for three-star cards cards.

As for his cards…

Bulls Card!

Was it possible that one-star consumed three hundred points of energy?!

Demolition Card!

It was absurd that two-star consumed one thousand points of energy?!

And the new card…

Hehe.

Let’s not talk about it.

The crazy energy consumption meant that these cards could only be used as hidden trump cards.

They were too powerful!

Too extreme!

In essence, when one used these cards, one would be depleted of all energy.

Undoubtedly.

All of them were top-notch cards!

“Let’s not think about it.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

So be it that it was a three-star card. Although the consumption was huge and far beyond a normal three-star card, and there was no way to use it, he could still use it as a Cultivation Card.

“I hope you are a qualified Cultivation Card.”

Lu Ming turned to the back of the card.

Well…

He looked at it with a blank face.

Goodness!

He could not understand them at all!

As someone who learned calculus by himself, Lu Ming was still quite proud of his ability to learn without any teacher to guide him. After all, no one-star cultivator could pick up “lamination” by themselves!

However, looking at this card, Lu Ming took a long time to come back to his senses.

These…

What the hell was that?!

Well…

There were the energy input lines where the energy would go into the card, then… He could not understand the rest… oh, this was the intersection lines where the energy would divert to different paths. After which… he could not tell… Oh, was this a three-way interlace? All the energy came together at this point, and then… he could not understand the rest.

→_→

Lu Ming felt sad.

The lines were still lines and the strokes were still the same strokes. But he could not understand when they were being put together.

How should he say it?

For a moment, he felt as if he was a foreigner who was learning Chinese!

Vertical strokes, horizontal strokes, left-slanting downward strokes and downwards-right concave strokes…

Why did they become different words when put together?

This was what happened now.

It was just that with many basic lines, they looked even more scary. The combined lines techniques seemed even more complicated.

One…

Two…

Three…

Lu Ming scanned the lines. There were at least twenty-eight different basic card creating techniques. They were intertwined together in a complex manner, looking menacing.

What else could he say?

That it was indeed a three-star top-notch card?!

Actually, it was.

Under normal circumstances, even if it was an ordinary three-star Card Creator, he would not be eligible to come into contact with three-star top-notch card. Only high-level Card Creators were allowed to handle them!

But right now…

Lu Ming had just reached two-star and he had the chance to handle this top-notch card.

He must master it!

His card creating skills would definitely be able to improve tremendously.

Lu Ming was determined.

Of course.

Before that, he had to buy some serious reading materials regarding the basic foundation.

This card contained a lot of techniques. At the very least, Lu Ming should know their names as well as its function so that he would have a better understanding.

Oh.

He would need to understand some basic concepts as well.

He could consider going to school, after all there were specialized courses for two-star Card Creators in school…

However…

Lu Ming thought about it and decided not to go.

A waste of time.

The teachers in school were dedicated to their lessons. They would go into details in order to cater to the learning needs of all the students. They would explain every doubt and question.

To genius like Lu Ming, it was simply a waste of time.

Besides…

The school might not have many materials regarding two-star techniques!

To a school that only required students to reach two-star to graduate, there would not have many two-star courses.

Well…

He should self-study!

He took a look at the remaining funds.

After increasing to two-start, he had about three hundred thousand yuan left. He used fifty thousand yuan to pay for six months of rent. He could make good use of the remaining money.

Lu Ming checked through the relevant documents.

He bought some books according to the recommendations. “Lines Optimization”, “Introduction to Two-star Cards”, “Basic Upgrade Concepts”, “Cards Structure” and more.

“Xiaobai, you can read these books when you have time.”

“Okay.”

“These contain very important basic knowledge. A Card Creator must know all of this. You will come to use this knowledge very soon. Tell your dad about it later and get a reimbursement for the expenses.”

“Okay,” Xiaobai agreed obediently.

Lu Ming was very satisfied.

Look, what a good disciple!

In the afternoon.

After buying the books, Lu Ming began to read through them.

“Oh, does Master need to read them as well?”

Xiaobai was shocked.

“Well, after all I have to teach you. I will need to review them.”

Lu Ming was very calm.

“I see. Master, way to go.”

Xiaobai raised her small fist to cheer for her master.

Lu Ming felt guilty.

“Boss, get me one Leviathan Card.”

There was someone at the door.

“Coming.”

Lu Ming handed the card to the customer.

Since Leviathan was still fairly popular, his business was still doing well. Most of the shops had standardized the price for the time being after competing with each other previously.

Right then, he had another customer.

Lu Ming raised his head and was thrilled. The customer was the junior sister who confessed her love to him the previous time! She was the real person that Xiaopang modeled his inflatable doll after!

Tsk tsk…

If the young lady knew about it, would she give Xiaopang a beating?

“Hello,” Lu Ming greeted her.

The young lady stared at him quietly without a word.

“Uh.”

Lu Ming clasped his forehead.

Oh, could it be due to her previous confession? That was right. He was dashing. Although he did not give her a reply, she had yet to give up on him.

“I’m sorry.”

Lu Ming felt awkward.

The young lady shook her head.

She stared quietly at Lu Ming before fixing her gaze on Xiaobai.

“Yes?”

Xiaobai noticed her gaze and raised her head.

Whoosh…

There seemed to be a gush of cold wind.

The surrounding air turned icy cold.

Oh? A misunderstanding?

Lu Ming scratched his head.

It seemed that the adorable young lady was here to woo Lu Ming. But then she realized that Lu Ming was cohabiting with an even more adorable young and cute girl…

The idea seemed thrilling. It was no wonder she had misunderstood.

“Are you here to buy cards?”

Lu Ming looked at her.

He felt that it did not matter whether there was a misunderstanding or not. If he did not have feelings for her, it was better to be clear about it so that she would not harbor any hopes.

This was showing respect for the other party.

The young lady nodded.

“Come.”

Lu Ming passed a “Leviathan” Card to her.

The transaction was completed.

The young lady stared intently at Xiaobai before she left.

She had indeed misunderstood.

The young lady should be more rational. Xiaobai was only eleven or twelve years old. Even if he wanted to woo her, he had to wait two years. It was ridiculous to misunderstand them!
