Hearing Zuo Tingyi's soft cry, Jia Ziling, whose eyelids were already a little heavy, woke up. He reluctantly opened them, adjusted his appearance, and saw that his hair was not messed up, coughed lightly, and asked, "Tingyi, what's wrong?"

Zuo Tingyi turned a deaf ear and stared blankly at the card in his hand.

Jia Ziling frowned slightly, raised her voice, and said with a little displeasure, "Tingyi, what's wrong?"

Only then did Zuo Tingyi come to his senses, and quickly turned around: "Teacher, this card is a bit weird."

"Strange? What's weird?" Jia Ziling asked a little puzzled.

Zuo Tingyi quickly sent the one-star energy card in his hand to the teacher: "This is the card, this card... this card..."

He was thinking about how to word it.

What's up with this guy today? Jia Ziling frowned slightly, Zuo Tingyi had always been decisive, and he spoke simply and never sternly. Jia Ziling said directly, "Show me."

After receiving the card from Zuo Tingyi, the one-star energy card, what is there to make a fuss about, Jia Ziling didn't take it seriously, but he still glanced at the one-star energy card.

"Huh!"

He sat up suddenly, and the disapproval on his face just now disappeared, replaced by an extremely dignified one.

"It's really weird." Jia Ziling muttered to herself, staring intently at the one-star energy card in her hand. Even he, the senior card maker of Dongwei Academy, can't tell at a glance whether this one-star energy card is wrong or not.

The structure of this one-star energy card is quite different from the standard structure. Jia Ziling has rich experience and can see that this structure is based on the standard structure with some changes. But are these changes really changes? Still wrong? He was a little unsure, these altered structures he had never seen before.

Seeing Jia Ziling's distress, Zuo Tingyi couldn't help reminding: "Teacher, why don't we try to see if this energy card can be used?"

Jia Ziling's eyes lit up, yes! Just check to see if the card actually works to know if it's an error. However, there was a look on his face that he had thought of a long time ago, and he coughed lightly: "Well, Ting Yi, you have made some progress, and you want to get a piece with me."

Zuo Tingyi said modestly: "The teacher is as intelligent as the sea, how can the students be comparable."

Jia Ziling was overjoyed, but said in his mouth: "You don't have to be too modest, among the students, there are only a handful of students who can compare with you."

"It's all taught by the teacher, and the students are what they are today." Zuo Tingyi bowed slightly.

"It's very rare for Ting Yi to never forget his teacher's kindness." After the two flaunted each other, Jia Ziling pretended to be deep and said: "Okay, let's go and see what's so special about this one-star energy card."

In Jia Ziling's card making room, all kinds of equipment are extremely complete.

Although card making is a difficult subject, there are many learners. Among the card makers, the polarization is extremely serious, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very wide. Low-level card makers are often poor, and it is not easy to make a living. Intermediate card creators can already earn a good income. And once he can become a high-level card maker, he will immediately become popular and become the target of recruiting by various forces.

Low-level card makers can only make one-star and two-star cards, but now the one-star and two-star cards can basically be produced industrially, which is why low-level card makers have a hard time making a living. Cards above three stars can only be made by card makers, which is why intermediate and senior card makers are so popular.

In order to attract those senior card makers to teach, Dongwei Academy provided extremely generous conditions. Not only the superior remuneration package, but also the annual research fee and so on are equally enviable. Jia Ziling has his own personal card making room, and all kinds of equipment in it are provided by Dongwei Academy.

What he is using now is a card analyzer, which is a highly professional instrument with complicated operation. Only card makers will buy it and learn how to use it. But its function is also very powerful, it can analyze the material, structure, and production time of the card and so on. Of course, it's also extremely expensive.

"It really is a new structure!" Seeing the final analysis report, Jia Ziling fell into deep thought, ignoring Zuo Tingyi who was astonished. His knowledge is much higher than Zuo Tingyi's. Of course he knows that besides the standard structure, there are many other types of one-star energy card structure drawing.

The analysis report is very detailed. The material used in this one-star energy card is the same as that of the standard one-star energy card. Although the drawing method is different, the performance is the same as the standard one-star energy card, without any optimization.

No value! Shaking his head, Jia Ziling was a little discouraged. After spending half a day working hard, he didn't get anything of value. As a senior card maker, how could he think that the optimization of this one-star energy card is not its performance, but its cost!

In his opinion, trying to optimize the cost of the one-star energy card may be a very strange idea in itself.

Throwing this card aside casually, Jia Ziling didn't intend to waste any more time on this matter, the time of a dignified senior card maker is very precious!

Zuo Tingyi also did not expect that this one-star energy card would be optimized in terms of cost. He comes from a wealthy family and treats money like dung. How could he have imagined that someone would put the idea of making money on a one-star energy card that only cost more than a hundred Odi. In fact, he has never used an energy card below Samsung.

However, as the only complete card in these three paper bags, Zuo Tingyi still has a good impression of the maker of this card after experiencing the devastation of countless scrap cards. I originally wanted to help him take the promotion test, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find who the maker of this card was, so the matter was left alone.

Chen Mu's life has not changed much. He still makes one-star energy cards every day as before. However, because of what he gained during the training class some time ago, his studies have progressed by leaps and bounds. It is most directly manifested in his brushstrokes for drawing energy cards, which are now more mellow and free. He roughly estimated that this could increase the energy efficiency of the energy cards he made by three percent.

The one-star energy card itself has less energy, and this 3% increase will not show any effect.
