"The field card is difficult."
Zhou Chuan took out drawing pens, spiritual liquid, draft paper and other items from his heart and placed them beside him one by one.
After a few days of intensive study, he has gained a full understanding of the production process of field cards.
In general, a field card is equivalent to a combination of a domain card and a spirit card. The three elements of time, place, and person are indispensable.
The card maker's job is to connect these three elements through "story", that is, to add rationality.
This is also the most difficult point.
You have to know that the rationality required to create spirit cards and domain cards is only for one character and one scene, while field cards require complete character plots and story logic.
The two have completely different requirements for knowledge.
However, for Zhou Chuan, a cheating player, the two are actually similar. In fact, due to the feature of field cards that can be directly painted based on the materials, the card making is less complicated than that of field cards.
For him, the real difficulty lies in the difficulty in finding certain specific materials.
At this time, you must learn to change your mindset.
As the old saying goes, making cards is like cooking a delicacy.
When you are extremely hungry and happen to have tomatoes and eggs on hand, even if you don’t like them, it is better to make a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes first; instead of getting the ingredients on an empty stomach and making your favorite shredded pork with fish flavor.
To put it bluntly, filling your stomach is the key!
"let's start."
Zhou Chuanxin said this and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
This time he planned to use the world as a furnace, transform the ruins into his sea of heart, and create cards on the spot.
After all, with his current energy, he is unable to seal this strange temple, so he might as well use it right away!
"Strange temple, human-faced locust tree, locust tree monster, strange woman in white, strange paintings, tombs..."
Zhou Chuan was searching for the material cards in his mind.
I have to say that senior Zhu Yanbei was really nice to him. Before leaving, in addition to some self-defense items, he also gave him all the materials he had on him with a wave of his hand, showing the demeanor of a rich second-generation.
Although these materials are not of orange quality or above, purple is more than enough for him now.
What’s interesting is that Zhu Yanbei himself is not good at ghosts, so the materials he has are of complex categories, including emperors, generals, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and immortals, but they are too scattered and difficult to connect together with reasonable logic.
"A swordsman who loves wine, a down-and-out scholar..."
Zhou Chuan stroked his chin lightly and looked at the two material cards in deep thought.
With his current card-making skills, it is a piece of cake to create a field card with the tree demon grandma and the female ghosts as the core.
But when he saw these two materials among Zhu Yanbei's gifts, he began to hesitate.
You know, the core of the field card he wants to create is the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Putting aside Nie Xiaoqian, the most important characters in this story are Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen!
The former has powerful magic and swordsmanship, and is a ethereal character like a drunken swordsman; while the latter, in addition to being a Undead Knight, also passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi a few years later in the plot.
Taken individually, these cards are all of high quality!
And if they were to be added to this field card, the difficulty of production would increase exponentially.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chuan let out a long sigh and put the two pieces of materials into the pile of materials that he had selected earlier and piled up into a small mountain. It was obvious that he had made up his mind.
After taking a few deep breaths, he mobilized his mental strength and adjusted his state for the last time, then took out a few blank cards and suspended them in the void. He picked up the card drawing pen that had been dipped in spiritual liquid and absorbed materials and wrote the three big words "Lanruo Temple".
Seeing that it was gradually dissipating, we began to add underlying logic to it:
"Lanruo Temple is located in the suburbs of Guobei County and is under the jurisdiction of the tree demon grandma."
"The temple is surrounded by a mysterious forest created by the tree demon. The outer buildings of the temple are also covered with a large number of zombies transformed from the corpses of passers-by. In the depths of the temple, there are countless demons and evil spirits lurking."
"The tree demon grandmother controlled these beautiful female ghosts to attract passers-by and absorb their yang energy to improve her own cultivation. It was not until Yan Chixia arrived that she restrained herself a little due to the checks and balances relationship..."
After setting up the underlying logic of the field card, Zhou Chuan began to add events to connect all these materials:
"Ning Caichen, a native of Zhejiang, was of a healthy and honest character, and was honest and self-respecting. He always told people, 'I have never been two-faced.' He went to Jinhua and arrived at Beiguo, where he untied his clothes and lived in a hermitage. The halls and pagodas in the temple were magnificent, but there were no people in the weeds, as if there had been no trace of any trace of people, and there were many desolate graves."
"Ning was very sad, but the price of the house in the city was high, so he wanted to stay, so he took a walk to wait for the monk to return. At dusk, a scholar came. His surname was Yan and his courtesy name was Chixia. He talked happily with him. After they talked until they were exhausted, they said goodbye and went back to bed."
"On the couch, Ning was in a new house, unable to sleep at night, and heard someone talking. Suddenly, he felt someone coming to his bedroom, and it turned out to be a beautiful girl named 'Xiao Qian'."
Having written this, Zhou Chuan stopped writing.
The core of the field card is the appearance of specific people and events at a specific time and place.
Now, these three short sections have already introduced the core characters in A Chinese Ghost Story, which is completely "enough".
Doing this is also to leave yourself a "slipknot", so that when you get new materials in the future, you can add new events and characters to this field card to advance the card.
“The next step is painting.”
Zhou Chuanxin stretched out his finger as he spoke, and with a light tap, a river of blood surged and the yellow sky shook. An image of a strange temple the size of a desk was projected into the void.
He is like a creator, placing characters and item materials where they should be with just the movement of his fingers, and after doing all this, he starts to make modifications.
First of all, the Gui Temple itself is the Judge's Temple, which is not in the same system as the Buddhist temple Lanruo Temple. There are many differences in architectural styles, so it needs to be modified.
The next four core characters are Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, and the tree demon grandma.
Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen are not very strong. You just need to make some adjustments to the appearance of the two cards, the White-clothed Female Ghost and the Down-and-out Scholar, and then add some items that can "prove" their identities. It is not too difficult.
As for the latter two, if used to make spiritual cards, they would probably be of purple quality and each of them would be extremely powerful.
It can be said that whether or not we can catch the Black Mountain Ghost King off guard next time depends on these two.
After thinking about it, Zhou Chuan treated these two people as if they were making spiritual cards.
Not only did they add extra rationality to it, but they also selected several high-quality materials from the inventory and added them in. Mr. Ba did not have this treatment at the beginning.
Hard work pays off.
After several operations, the power of the two characters has indeed been greatly enhanced, and even the blank eyes that have not yet been opened have a little light.
Seeing this, Zhou Chuan hurriedly and skillfully wrote continuously. With the infusion of spirituality, the strange temple he was in began to change, like a Rubik's Cube being turned by someone.
