Hongzhu squatted near Boss Zhang's booth for a long time, and never saw anyone selling Daiyu cards, but the spies she sent to search the black market reported privately, "Sister Hongzhu, found five Daiyu cards!" "Red Sister Zhu, I found three here!" Hong Zhu replied immediately: "Buy it back immediately! Also, don't expose your identity, just say it's bought back for collection."
The two expressed their understanding, and quickly bought eight Daiyu cards and handed them over to the president.
Hongzhu hid behind the stall in a rage, almost staring out a hole in the black market street.
A long time has passed, and the person she was waiting for has not yet appeared.
Sister Xue said that there are currently 10 Daiyu cards on the market, and the people she sent to the black market to search the black market only recovered 8 cards. How about 2 more? It's okay to be collected by others, but don't be bought by some clubs! Thinking of this, Hong Zhu's heart became more and more uneasy. She stared sharply at the crowds coming and going in the black market, hoping to find the culprit through the crowd.
However, instead of waiting for the culprit, she waited for a mortal enemy—the vice president of the Judgment Guild, the setting sun.
The two clubs, Fenghua and Judgment, are the top card clubs in the league, and the players are also very popular gods. The two guilds are constantly rubbing against each other in the game, and their relationship is naturally not much better.
Hong Zhu turned around to leave, but the setting sun stopped her, and said without a smile, "Sister Hong, long time no see, what have you been busy with recently?"
"I'll come to the black market to collect some cards and materials." Hong Zhu said coldly.
"Is this preparation for the new season?"
"Yeah." Hong Candle hurriedly turned and left.
The setting sun didn't stop her anymore, and wandered the black market leisurely.
The best cards purchased by the guild are usually handed over to the guild merchants to go to the card store in the commercial street to buy them. There are many finished cards of high stars in the card store, and they can be used directly. Cards in the black market have a very low probability of appearing top-quality cards, and most of them are low-level collectible cards of one to four stars, which have little combat value. But once the best products appear, you can often find some newcomers with extremely high card-making talent.
Tang Muzhou, the chief poker player of Fenghua Club, made his fortune in the black market at the beginning.
It has been several years since Tang Muzhou's plant cards swept the black market, but the memories of old players are still thrilling. At that time, the newcomer Tang Muzhou used the word "Tang" as his LOGO, and made a large number of plant cards to sell on the black market, which were sold out in an instant. Later, Tang Muzhou, who made a lot of money, used his excellent card-making talent to bring up the wood-based card group that had been in the doldrums for a long time.
The agent of the ace player, Xue Linxiang, and the president of Fenghua, Hongzhu, are all powerful characters he brought out from the online game.
The appearance of Tang Muzhou had a strong impact on the fifth season of the poker league. A large-scale shuffle eliminated many old players, and also allowed many newcomers to take the opportunity to rise. Since then, the five-series cards will no longer be dominated by one family. The various card groups gradually tend to be balanced, and the players of each series have their own characteristics. A hundred flowers bloom, and the game is more exciting and beautiful.
Perhaps because of Tang Muzhou's influence, and Sister Hongzhu has always liked to visit the black market, the black market has become a treasure trove for major guilds to discover talents.
It is a pity that since Tang Shen, for five years, no professional player has started from selling cards on the black market.
Setting Yang reminisced about the past while visiting the black market.
At this moment, he suddenly received a private message from an undercover agent sent to Fenghua Guild: "Boss, Hongzhu suddenly sent someone to buy beauty character cards, saying that they wanted to collect them, and privately set a high price on the black market. A booth to acquire character cards."
The setting sun was stunned: "What is she doing with the character card?"
The undercover agent said: "I said that I like character cards recently, and I want to buy some collections."
Setting Yang didn't know what medicine was sold in the red candle gourd, so he told the undercover agent: "Continue to follow up, and let me know as soon as you have any news."
In fact, Hongzhu had no choice but to squat for a long time and still couldn't find the person who sold the card. She decided to "lead the snake out of the hole" - directly open a big booth in the black market and named it "purchasing beautiful character cards with collectible value at a high price". Just type the four words "Daiyu Burial Flowers".
Each guild sent undercover agents to each other, and everyone knew it well, so Hongzhu tried to keep a low profile and didn't dare to say anything about Daiyuka. This move of hers also made the major guilds in the game inexplicable, and they all speculated about the reason.
What made Hong Zhu laugh or cry was that as soon as the acquisition booth opened, all kinds of messy card creators brought her beauty character cards to sell. In just half an hour, she saw beauty cards of various styles.
The red candle surrounded by beauties can't tell the bitterness, and I can only hope that the guy named "Yueban" will appear soon!
***
Xie Mingzhe is destined not to appear at this acquisition booth because he no longer draws Lin Daiyu.
This is the conclusion he came to after visiting the black market twice - in the game that has been in operation for ten years, painters of various styles emerge in an endless stream, handsome guys and beauties are plentiful, and character cards are very unsaleable.
In addition to the casual Buddhist players who keep cards in this game, most of them are sports enthusiasts. It can be seen from the auction that even if the pet card is cute, it can sell for thousands of gold coins at most, but the best battle card "Ye Lai Xiang" has been auctioned for a sky-high price of 660,000 gold coins. The pursuit of card attributes is far greater than the card surface.
Therefore, whether the painted characters look good or not is secondary, and strong combat power is the key.
Having figured this out, Xie Mingzhe temporarily gave up the idea of painting a dream of Red Mansions and turned his attention to the Water Margin.
Among the characters with relatively strong fighting power in the Water Margin, the first thing he thought of was Wu Song.
他从小就爱看小说、漫画，看水浒连环画时他才六岁，那些书都是一位慈善家捐给孤儿院的，他每天捧着连环画看得津津有味，觉得武松几拳下去揍死一只The living tiger is really handsome - pure man, real man! It's a pity that he doesn't remember very well the image of Wu Song in the TV series, but he remembers the black and white illustrations in the comics.
Xie Mingzhe first painted the scene of Wu Song fighting a tiger in his mind. After confirming it, he took out the nebula paper and tried to make a new card.
Since there are only black and white comic strips in my memory, this time the composition is much simpler than Daiyu's funeral flowers.
With the slow injection of spiritual power, a black and white ink painting gradually appeared on the Nebula paper - I saw a strong man clenched his fists, and the veins on his fists burst out. He punched down and hit the ground firmly. Tiger's head, the tiger was beaten until his brain splashed, and he died!
System: "The card is made successfully, please connect to the database for review!"
With the experience of reviewing Lin Daiyu's cards, Xie Mingzhe waited patiently this time. A few minutes later, the sound of "approval passed" sounded in his ear, and he skillfully printed his "month and a half" logo on the back of the card.
It was still a low-level initial card. Xie Mingzhe picked up the card and carefully checked the data of this new card.
Wu Song (fire type)
Level: Level 1
Evolution star: ★
Available times: 1/1
Basic attributes: health 300, defense 300, attack 300, agility 10, crit rate 20%,
Additional skill: Wu Song beats the tiger (stretch out his fist and smash the tiger's head, causing huge damage, 15% chance to trigger instant death effect)
The attributes of this card are much better than the Daiyu card I made at the beginning. Daiyu's base HP is 100, defense 15, and attack 0. Wu Song's life was 300, defense 300, attack 300, more than tenfold. The skill only works on tigers, and it is not widely used, but the basic attributes are high, and the Wu Song he painted looks particularly handsome. Daiyu sold for 30, Wu Song should be able to sell even higher, right
Xie Mingzhe decided to take the cards to the black market to ask for the price first, and if they sold well, he would come back and draw a few more cards.
When he came to the black market, he found a booth at the entrance "purchasing beautiful character cards with collectible value at a high price", and many people were crowding around selling beauty cards, and the purchase price seemed to start at 50 gold coins. Xie Mingzhe's Daiyu cards were all sold out, so he ignored them for the time being and went straight to the depths of the black market.
The black market hides dragons and crouching tigers, and many businessmen who appear to be mediocre may have the support of various major guilds behind them. Especially those large acquisition booths, the business is no worse than the shops in the prime area of the central square.
Xie Mingzhe wandered around to see how much a card with similar attributes to Wu Song was selling for. After he had a good idea, he went to a booth that "purchases high-attribute battle cards" and handed the newly made Wu Song card to the boss. : "Boss, what do you think of my card, how much can I sell it for?"
The boss took it over and looked at it, and said, "Your attack and defense attributes are well balanced, and your skills are average, so it's not very practical. Balanced cards can't sell for too high a price. The initial one-star card is about 50 gold coins."
Xie Mingzhe smiled and took back the card: "Look at my low level, I'm a newcomer, so you fool me? Forget it, I'll go to another booth to see."
He didn't want to deal with cunning businessmen. 100 things, you can make it around 70. Is it a fool to directly ask for 50 to be a person? He saw that several nearby stalls sold for about 100 with similar data to Wusong.
Xie Mingzhe took the card back, ignored the boss's call, and turned to go to another booth.
The owner of this stall is a cute little girl, wearing a princess dress, with a sweet voice: "Uncle Fat, do you want to sell original cards?"
"Well, boss, take a look." Xie Mingzhe handed her the card. The little girl said: "The data of this card is balanced. The price is 100. I accept it."
"A little low, right? My star card has an attack power of 300, and the attack power of a seven-star card is tens of thousands, and it has an effect bonus to the tiger." Xie Mingzhe tried his best to sell his card, "You add a little more. , how about 140?"
"..." This person has a good talent, and he speaks a set of truths. The girl thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, 140!"
The cost price of Nebula Paper is only 7 gold coins, and it sells for 140. This time it has been 20 times over, and it's posted!
Xie Mingzhe was ecstatic, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, sold the card to the other party, and asked with a smile: "I am the original author, I can continue to make this card, do you still need it? Long-term cooperation, bulk purchases are possible, and the price is given How's your discount?"
The girl waved her hand with a headache: "You are too good at talking, I don't want to buy in bulk, thank you."
Xie Mingzhe turned around regretfully and walked away.
***
The setting sun wandered around the black market, trying to find some unique cards, but unfortunately, after shopping for a long time, there was nothing to gain. When he walked to Shuangshuangmeizi's acquisition booth, he stopped and asked, "How's business going recently?"
Today, Shuangshuang was temporarily replacing Master to buy cards from a stall in the black market. He didn't know much about cards. He just thought the Wu Song card was very special, so he bought one. When she saw the vice president come in person, she immediately said respectfully, "Business is okay. Vice president, I just received a card here. It's quite unique. Let me show it to you." She handed over the Wu Song card she just received. to the president.
Setting Yang carefully looked at the card surface, the attack, defense, and health were very balanced. This card can only be said to be third-rate. Additional skills… Wu Song fights the tiger: Stretches out his fist and smashes the tiger's head, causing huge damage, with a 15% chance of triggering an instant death effect.
The pupils of the setting sun shrank suddenly, and the fingers were gripped tightly—
An instant-death judgment skill specially designed for tiger cards! ! When confronted with this card, wouldn't Nie Shen's white tiger kneel? ! !
Setting Yang's breathing immediately became rapid. He looked around and found that there were no acquaintances around. He was slightly relieved. Then he lowered his voice and asked in both ears: "Who sold this card to you?"
Shuangshuang said: "A level 15 novice, called Fat Uncle, he said that this card was made by himself."
The voice of the setting sun was so nervous that it trembled: "You know him, right? Go find him and call him back to me!"
Shuangshuang looked blank: "Vice President, what are you looking for him for?"
The setting sun said: "You said that I want to buy a large number of his cards and bring him back to the guild to meet me!"
Shuangshuang sensed the seriousness of the situation, hurriedly handed over the stall to the guild partner who set up the stall together, and ran away.
She chased all the way through the black market, saw a familiar fat uncle in front of her, and immediately called out, "Fat uncle, wait a minute..."
As a result, before the words were finished, the man opened the space portal and returned directly to his personal apartment.
Gemini’s personal apartments are numerous, and where a certain player lives is the player’s privacy. Unless the other party actively informs the house number, there is no hope of finding a needle in a haystack. In order to prevent players from being harassed, private voice chats are only available between nearby players and friends in the game. You can only send emails when you are not around.
Shuangshuang remembered his name and immediately sent him an email, conveying the words of the vice president to him.
However, just at the moment the email was delivered, the fat uncle in the game happened to be offline.
Because Brother Chen, the boss of the power leveling studio, came over in person and asked Xie Mingzhe to have dinner.
The author has something to say: The protagonist's card making is based on the plot. Daiyu leads Tang Muzhou, Wu Song leads the Judgment Guild, and there are characters from Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West!
