The Card Apprentice

Chapter 425

Views:

The "starry sky" was running very slowly, if it wasn't for the ten seconds of stillness just now, such a slow running speed would be hard to detect.

Silver light spots, silver straight curves, and various silver curved surfaces slowly converged in front of Chen Mu. They run very slowly, but their trajectories can still be seen clearly.

The complicated and vast "starry sky" seemed to be attracted by some kind of gravitational force, and they converged towards a certain point in front of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was surrounded by silver, like a dream, and the huge "starry sky" was compressed into a small area around him, where countless silver light spots gathered, like a sea of stars. These grotesque curved surfaces are like icebergs floating in this sea of stars, they are running under some unknown influence, and countless silvery curves swim among them like snakes.

Chen Mu was full of anticipation for the unusual changes in "Xinghai", and he carefully controlled his perception. Part of his perception continued to maintain the shape of the main body of the card, while another part of his perception was paying close attention to any changes in the "child".

"Xinghai" was moving very slowly, but Chen Mu keenly discovered that its speed was increasing at an astonishing rate.

Five minutes later, the operation of "Xinghai" finally underwent a qualitative change!

A three-dimensional grid-like structure composed of countless silver light spots, curves, and curved surfaces floated in front of Chen Mu.

This structure...

Chen Mu's eyes widened, and he looked at the newly formed grid structure in disbelief. Isn't this the main structure of the card he perceives and simulates? The palisade structure in front of him was almost exactly the same as what he had imagined in his mind, including those parts that even he hadn't thought of clearly.

The palisade looks like an eerie silver cage. Its skeleton structure is clear and distinct, like the most perfect silver metal casting. If you don't look carefully, you can't find that the skeleton is composed of countless light spots, curves, and curved surfaces.

And those parts that have not been thought out are covered by the "sea of stars", giving people an illusion, as if the grid-like structure is looming and half-covered in the sea of stars.

Only Chen Mu knew that those parts covered by the sea of stars were actually empty.

The changes did not end, the silvery spots, curves, and curved surfaces in the sea of stars were like schools of fish looking for food. They pool around those parts of the structure that are not finished.

Then, Chen Mu saw a shocking scene.

A semi-concave curved surface appeared in an unfinished part, which was like the advance of a school of fish, and this immediately caused a drastic change in the sea of stars.

Countless points of light, curves, and curved surfaces frantically rush towards these parts, and they continuously form various structures. But at the moment of completion, they will collapse in a shorter time. The other "fishes" who had been watching around for a long time immediately filled in the vacancy, and they formed a new structure again...

Every part covered by the sea of stars is constantly being built, constantly falling apart, and constantly rebuilding...

They looped continuously, and the speed became faster and faster, and in the end, they even reached a terrifying speed of looping a hundred times every second! Every time it collapses, a ball of silver light will burst out. Human eyes can't keep up with this speed at all. Chen Mu can only see the areas covered by the sea of stars glowing with silver light, which makes people's eyes hurt.

But Chen Mu's perception could barely keep up with this speed. Each time the structure is completely different, they are like a group of designers, constantly drawing new sketches. Then I felt dissatisfied, erased and repainted, and repeated it over and over again.

The silver light kept flashing, and the movement of the sea of stars reached a terrifying speed. At this moment, Chen Mu couldn't keep up with their speed even with his perception. The flashes of silver light are so fast that people cannot perceive that they are actually flashing.

Ten minutes later, after tens of thousands of collapses and reconstructions, a part of the sea of stars finally dissipated, revealing the new structure inside.

When Chen Mu saw the newly formed structure for the first time, he couldn't look away anymore.

It's just a double-back structure that couldn't be smaller. However, it is more delicate than all the double-circle structures that Chen Mu has seen before! No! To be more precise, it should be perfect! In the eyes of those card makers who emphasize aesthetics, such a structure probably has no aesthetic feeling, but in Chen Mu's eyes, this double-shaped structure used here is perfect to the extreme!

His brain was working fast, but in the end, he had to admit that if he had to think by himself, he would never be able to achieve such perfection! He can think of the best solution, and the efficiency is 15% worse than this double-circle structure.

Fifteen percent, spreading to the entire large structure, probably affects only one percent of the entire card, or even less than one percent, maybe only a few thousandths. However, Chen Mu would not underestimate the influence of less than one percent.

How many small structures like this are involved in the energy structure of a four-star card? There are at least a thousand, and for some complex cards, there are as many as tens of thousands! When a few thousandths of thousands gather together. The impact on card performance would be quite astonishing.

New structures are constantly being generated. Chen Mu found that as long as the local structures were finally completed without disintegration, they all surprised him without exception.

The energy structure involved in a card will become more complex as the star level rises. The energy structures involved in four-star and five-star cards are astonishingly complex, and the basic cyclic structures included in them are countless. For a card maker, it is not an easy task to be able to completely design the textures he needs. And some powerful card makers can have their own unique understanding of the main structure of the energy structure.

However, no card maker can optimize all the structures involved in a four-star or higher card. The difficulty of optimizing these local structures is actually not that great, but the amount of calculation is too huge. A card maker may not be able to complete the optimization of a card even if he spends his entire life.

No card maker would do this kind of work. They focus more on the main structure that does not need to be so large in calculation, but requires a deeper understanding of the energy structure.

However, with the help of "children", Chen Mu did it.

The originally bare grid-like structure is like a dead vine with buds and branches in spring, which is eye-catching.

Forty minutes later, a huge and complete silver energy structure was suspended in the air in front of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had already forgotten about carnival and joy, and he carefully observed every part of the energy structure in front of him attentively and obsessively. This is the final result after calculation by the "child", the optimized result, the energy structure that makes him completely forget himself. To be honest, the design idea of this card is much inferior to Chen Mu's [Golden Word Lock] [Bipolar Card] [Variety Changes] and Xiao Bo's [Wheel].

However, under the current framework, it has achieved the ultimate!

Every detail of it exudes the charm of calculation, which is deeply fascinated. He couldn't take his eyes off it, deeply engraving this not advanced, but suffocatingly perfect energy structure in his mind.

Seven floors above the card making room where Chen Mu was located, there was another card making room, which was the exclusive card making room of Bernie Tapster, the chief card maker of this material store. As the chief card maker, Bernie Tapster usually has a lot of free time. Apart from occasionally receiving one or two card making orders from the owner, or occasionally helping the staff in the purchasing department to identify some unpopular and rare materials, other He spends most of his time making cards by himself.

"Janetta, what's the matter?" Tapster put down his work and looked at Janeta. Janetta is the sales director of the store, but she rarely comes up to find herself. Janet is the counter lady who receives Chen Mu.

"Mr. Tapster, I'm sorry to disturb you." Janetta first expressed her apology, and then explained her reason for coming: "A customer rented a five-star card making room, and also bought some materials. Here's a list of materials I'd like to use your wisdom on. What cards would this list be best for?"

"Oh, let me see." Tapster took the one-star magic card handed over by Janetta, and inserted it into the card player.

He quickly scanned the entire list of materials, and then smiled.

"The world of card making is vast. There are many materials on this list, and many kinds of cards can be made. It is really difficult to judge. But if the other party uses all the materials, I personally think that the most likely way is to make a four-star card [Explosion] bomb]."

"[Bomb]..." Janet couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. [Bomb] is a very common four-star card, which can only be regarded as a high-end product. The other party rented the most expensive card making room, but used it to make such high-end goods, she felt a little weird.

Probably knowing what Janet was thinking, Tapster smiled and said: "Maybe he just wants to increase the success rate. After all, the better the card making room, the higher the success rate."

"Success rate..." Janet murmured, and suddenly turned her head to ask: "If it were you, what is your success rate of making [Bomb]?"

"Probably around fifty to sixty percent." Tapster said indifferently. Four-star cards are not difficult for a card maker of his level, so the success rate will be relatively high.

The expression on Janet's face suddenly became extremely strange: "But. He only bought one set of materials..."

"He only bought one copy?" Tapster was taken aback. Can this card maker ensure that his success rate can reach 100%? That's impossible! Generally speaking, when making cards, card makers will purchase several copies of materials to ensure the success rate. The handling of materials is extremely time-consuming. Since the other party is willing to rent a five-star card making room, it seems that he is willing to spend money. Under normal circumstances, it is more reasonable for this kind of person to buy a few more copies.

At this moment, the speedometer in Janet's hand suddenly rang.

She glanced at it and saw that it was the supervisor of the testing department. She was taken aback for a moment. The testing department was responsible for the testing and identification of cards. There was a professional card testing room in the store for customers to test the performance of cards. What is he looking for at this time

As soon as it was turned on, the director of the testing department appeared on the light curtain. Janet, who was good at observing words and expressions, found that his expression was very strange. As soon as the supervisor of the testing department saw Janet, he immediately said: "Janet, hurry to test room 21!" He saw Tapster next to Janet, and immediately said in a daze: "Mr. Tapster, If you are free, I hope you can come too."

Janet and Tapster looked at each other.
