161: The difference between character cards and summoner cards (combined chapter, asking for monthly tickets)

“What is this?”

After Jiang Yuan brought Mu Qianshan back to his home, Mu Qianshan froze the moment he stepped through the door.

“You’re here? Get ready to eat.”

Seeing Mu Qianshan’s arrival, Jiang Yuan No. 2 was clearly startled, but there wasn't much emotional fluctuation.

He would just cook more noodles later.

“No…”

Mu Qianshan glanced at Jiang Yuan No. 2, who was wearing an apron, then looked at Jiang Yuan next to him, and his mind couldn't help but stall.

“A clone, is it strange?”

Jiang Yuan No. 2 tilted his head slightly and asked Mu Qianshan with some confusion.

“A clone?”

Mu Qianshan’s expression remained blank: “I didn’t see Jiang Yuan use any cards just now.”

“If it was a clone used before class, then what kind of clone could exist for so long?”

“By the way, Jiang Yuan, you can now use red quality cards.”

Mu Qianshan turned to look at Jiang Yuan, his face full of bewilderment: “It couldn’t be another card you created, could it?”

“That’s right, it’s a new card I created.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, then sat down at the dining table: “Let’s eat first, we can talk while we eat.”

“Alright.”

After Mu Qianshan sat down, Jiang Yuan began to explain the matter of Jiang Yuan No. 2 to him.

“So, this is really a clone card you created?” Mu Qianshan was very confused.

Why were the cards Jiang Yuan created not only of low quality, but also always felt better than those on the market?

Mu Qianshan really didn't understand, but perhaps this was just what a genius was like.

“So you called me here just to see this?”

“No, I called you here because there’s something that can speed up your cultivation.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he waved to Jiang Yuan No. 2 in the kitchen.

“Why didn’t I find the Gathering Star Array in the Backpack Card just now?”

“If you had come back any later, I would have used it.” Jiang Yuan No. 2 pointed at the sofa, then said to Jiang Yuan.

“Can you hurry up and create the Star Power Futon? The Star Power isn’t enough!”

Jiang Yuan No. 2 was a bit displeased: “If you don’t create it soon, I won’t be a tool anymore, I’ll go create it myself.”

Creating these white quality cards consumed more Star Power than mental power.

Often, the Star Power would be used up first, while some mental power remained.

To maintain higher work efficiency, cards for restoring Star Power were still needed.

This morning, he had already used San Shi Liu Bian · Jiu Xi Fu Qi three times and two bottles of Sweet Dew Water from the Jade Purification Bottle.

If Jiang Yuan didn’t create the Star Power Futon for him soon, he would really go on strike.

Making someone work, but not letting them work happily.

So annoying!

“Alright, alright, it’ll be very soon.” Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head: “After class this afternoon, I’ll start creating the Star Power Futon.”

“You should have created it a long time ago.”

Jiang Yuan No. 2 brought over the cooked noodles, which were already topped with fried sauce and tomato sauce.

“I didn’t know you were coming for lunch today, so I just made this. Let’s just have a quick bite.”

“Okay, I’m fine with it.”

Mu Qianshan wasn’t a picky eater either; he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Both of them were the type who didn’t like to talk while eating.

For a moment, only the sounds of eating remained at the dining table.

“Here, what I wanted to give you is this, something that can speed up your cultivation.”

After eating, Jiang Yuan handed the two Gathering Star Arrays from the sofa to Mu Qianshan.

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips helplessly: “I said I’d give you this before, but I kept forgetting.”

“Gathering Star Array?”

Mu Qianshan looked at the Gathering Star Array’s card description and instantly felt a surge of joy.

“This card is really good!”

“Of course it is, I’ve personally tested it. If it wasn’t good, would I give it to you?” Jiang Yuan tilted his head back in a tactical way, speaking with a hint of pride.

“Heh, this is really good, I didn’t dote on you for nothing.”

“Go away!”

Mu Qianshan laughed happily, and Jiang Yuan also chuckled: “You don’t know who’s older, do you?”

“Hehe, I’ve decided.”

“What?”

Seeing Mu Qianshan’s serious expression, Jiang Yuan also asked with some curiosity.

“This afternoon, I’m going to cultivate seriously, so I won’t go to class with you.”

“Ha, alright, go ahead. You wouldn’t understand the Card Creator class anyway.” Jiang Yuan was a bit exasperated.

Mu Qianshan had gone to such trouble to snatch this class just so he could attend it with Jiang Yuan.

But now, he wasn’t going.

This was truly infuriating news for many people who hadn’t managed to get into the class.

After all, the time for snatching classes had already passed. Even if Mu Qianshan decided not to go to class, it would only free up a seat in the classroom.

Snatching the class was no longer possible.

Li Yueying’s course was a small class.

Only forty people officially attended each class.

As for other auditing students, she wouldn't bother with them.

They could listen, but regarding questions from other auditing students, she would try her best not to answer if she could avoid it.

“Alright, then I’ll head back.”

Mu Qianshan smiled, waved to both Jiang Yuans, and then went home.

However, what Jiang Yuan didn’t know was that Mu Qianshan was cultivating so diligently because he wanted to enter the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield to obtain a heavenly material and earthly treasure that could alleviate Jiang Yuan’s myasthenia.

He had many cards that Jiang Yuan had given him.

Leaving aside other things, his life-saving abilities were sufficient.

Just like the Earth Movement Technique, Linglong Pagoda, and Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form.

The cards Jiang Yuan sold to others were all one-time Skill Cards, but the ones he gave to Mu Qianshan were all Skill Cards.

The effects of Skill Cards were better than one-time Skill Cards.

For example, with the Earth Movement Technique, the duration of the Skill Card was longer than the one-time Skill Card, so he could travel further.

With this, even if he entered the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield with Xuanxiao Early Stage strength, he could barely save his life.

However, to contend for those heavenly material and earthly treasures, Xuanxiao Early Stage strength was a bit insufficient; he would need at least Xuanxiao Middle Stage strength.

Although he didn’t know why Jiang Yuan wasn’t going, he still had to go himself.

That senior was right, Jiang Yuan had helped him so much, could he accept these favors with a clear conscience?

Mu Qianshan also had his own scale in his heart.

With this card, plus the cultivation at Fallen Star Cliff in the academy.

Even if he couldn't keep up with the purple zenith ancient ginseng, he would try to keep up when the dongtian secret treasure erupted.

After all, the heavenly material and earthly treasure and various cards that erupted from the dongtian secret treasure might not be inferior to the purple zenith ancient ginseng.

Although the purple zenith ancient ginseng could be considered an A-grade red quality material.

However, as long as he could obtain other heavenly material and earthly treasure that erupted from the dongtian secret treasure, there was still a possibility of exchange.

Although their family was the richest in Zhenhai City, being the richest in a city only meant having access to such heavenly material and earthly treasure.

If an exchange was needed, heavenly material and earthly treasure could only be exchanged with other heavenly material and earthly treasure or other rare cards.

And as the wealthiest Mu Family, they also lacked these things.

They had money, but that was all they had.

Mu Qianshan had made his decision, but Jiang Yuan didn’t know.

If Jiang Yuan knew, he would definitely stop Mu Qianshan.

He did have a plan.

But the problem was that he couldn’t tell Mu Qianshan about this plan.

First, he wasn’t sure if his plan would succeed.

He also couldn't explain why the cards he created would definitely be useful.

For humans suffering from this incurable disease before the Sixth Realm Shi Shen, besides the body reshaping of the Sixth Realm Shi Shen, the only other option was various heavenly material and earthly treasure.

And not just any ordinary heavenly material and earthly treasure.

A complete cure would require at least red quality, and even then, it would need to be a good red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

However, red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure could accomplish too many things.

Just a small case of myasthenia, using red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure for treatment would really be overkill.

This was why Jiang Yuan, even though he earned a lot of money by selling his cards, did not buy red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

One reason was that they couldn't be bought; after all, purple quality heavenly material and earthly treasure already required exchanges of the same quality.

Let alone red quality?

As for the other reason, it was the issue of being too cost-ineffective, as just mentioned.

Jiang Yuan clearly had more and better solutions.

Why would he use red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure to solve his body’s problem?

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never choose this method.

It was too wasteful!

Using this red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure to solve the problem would be less efficient than him directly creating cards and using red heavenly material and earthly treasure as materials.

In this situation, it might even be possible to create things like Supreme Lord Lao's Golden Elixir or Spirit Roots.

Used to treat myasthenia?

What's the difference between this and shooting a mosquito with an anti-aircraft gun?

However, Jiang Yuan was unaware of this at the moment.

If he had known, he would definitely have clarified it with Mu Qianshan.

“Just focus on developing for now, I naturally have a solution.”

“Let’s go, time for class. You keep up the good work at home.”

Jiang Yuan No. 2 didn’t even lift his head in response to Jiang Yuan’s encouragement and went straight into the Gathering Star Array to continue working.

Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly for a moment before heading out.

Sure enough, his Jiang Yuan No. 2 was rebellious.

He didn't even give him face!

Too much!

Mu Qianshan had gone to cultivate, so Jiang Yuan came to the classroom alone.

Jiang Yuan wasn't very late, but by then, all forty seats in the classroom were basically filled.

Only his and Mu Qianshan's seats were left.

Unfortunately, Mu Qianshan had no intention of coming.

And outside the classroom, a crowd of people had also gathered.

Because Li Yueying was the Vice Principal of the Card Creator Department, many people came to listen to her class.

There were students from first year to sixth year.

After Jiang Yuan entered, he realized he didn't know anyone in the room.

However, he didn't care and directly found a seat and sat down.

But others did recognize him.

After all, Jiang Yuan was Li Yueying's first disciple!

Among them were many who had submitted requests to become Li Yueying's disciple every year but were never taken in by her.

“Why him?!” a short-haired girl exclaimed indignantly to the long-haired girl next to her when she saw Jiang Yuan walk in and sit down.

“Why can he be taken as a disciple by the Vice Principal? How am I not stronger than him?”

“Exactly, isn’t it just because he’s a bit more handsome than us? Could it be that Teacher Li is also a lookist?”

Not only that girl, but many other boys also started discussing amongst themselves.

Why Jiang Yuan? As a freshman, he was directly taken as a disciple by Teacher Li Yueying?

“Simply because he pioneered the creation system of Summoning Cards,” the long-haired girl calmly replied to the short-haired girl’s jealousy.

“Oh, come on, that kind of talk is only good for fooling outsiders. We’re all professionals here,” a boy next to them leaned over and said.

“Exactly, it’s clearly a Character Card, but he insists on calling it a Summoning Card. This isn’t a system he created at all, okay?”

The short-haired girl hadn't expected her companion to contradict her, but after hearing what the person next to her said, she also spoke up, venting her dissatisfaction.

However, her voice seemed a bit loud; not only Jiang Yuan heard it, but many others did as well.

Jiang Yuan looked up once but didn’t react.

He might as well use this time to think about what material cards would be best for the Star Power Futon that Jiang Yuan No. 2 requested him to make.

The short-haired girl also seemed to realize her voice was a bit loud.

However, after glancing at Jiang Yuan and seeing that he showed no reaction, she became smug again.

“See? I told you Character Cards are what started a genre. His so-called Summoning Card concept can’t even stand on its own!”

The short-haired girl was smug. Seeing Jiang Yuan ignore her, she thought he was feeling guilty and spoke even louder.

This time, she successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the class.

Not only those in the class, but also those at the door who were planning to audit the class were drawn in.

Jiang Yuan frowned, looking up and directly at the short-haired girl in the front row.

“The difference between Character Cards and Summoning Cards will be explained when I teach the class. Class hasn’t started yet, and you are not in a position to question the distinction between these two types of cards.”

However, before Jiang Yuan could speak, a voice familiar to him came from the doorway.

Li Yueying walked into the classroom. She had just woken up and also heard what the short-haired girl said.

“Alright, class is starting now.”

Seeing the class quiet down because of her appearance, Li Yueying then said to everyone with a cold expression.

“The first question for today’s class: the difference between Character Cards and Summoning Cards.”

“Come, you tell us.”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, she directly called on the short-haired girl to answer.

The short-haired girl’s face turned pale. She stood up, looking at Li Yueying timidly, unable to speak.

Everyone looked at the standing short-haired girl as if watching a joke.

They had heard clearly what the short-haired girl had just said.

Although they were displeased that Jiang Yuan had successfully become Teacher Li Yueying’s disciple.

But they had no intention of belittling Jiang Yuan.

On the contrary, they admired Jiang Yuan quite a bit.

“Indeed, I’m jealous, but that doesn’t affect my admiration.”

This was the mentality of some of them.

The three life-saving cards had indeed become very popular recently in Zhongyuan Academy.

Or rather, not just in Zhongyuan Academy, but in all four major academies due to the passage of time.

In fact, proxy purchasing has already appeared in Zhongyuan Academy.

Specifically, proxy purchasing this set of life-saving cards.

This fully demonstrated how effective these three life-saving cards were.

And now most people already knew that these three life-saving cards were all made by Jiang Yuan.

As Card Creators, they naturally understood the latest cards on the market.

And it was precisely because they understood that they admired Jiang Yuan.

How could he make the quality of life-saving cards so low?

Just look at the person Jiang Yuan fought earlier, the one who was instantly killed by the Qiankun Circle.

He was instantly killed because he lacked Star Power and couldn't use the blue quality life-saving card he had on him.

The video of Xuanxiao Early Stage instantly killing Xuanxiao Middle Stage had already gone viral on the official website!

And it was precisely because of this video that the preciousness of those two white quality life-saving cards was further highlighted.

If he had a white quality Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form at that time, wouldn't he have been able to avoid the damage from this attack, thereby avoiding being instantly killed by someone a level below him, and thus avoiding this embarrassing way of becoming famous?

This was only in the Martial Arts Arena.

What if it were in a dongtian secret treasure?

Then he would already be dead.

Therefore, a white quality life-saving card with excellent effects, whether liked or not, no matter how displeased one was with the Card Creator.

But they would all choose to carry one, or even several, on them.

What displeasure, envy, jealousy, hatred, etc., where is that as important as life?

And these three cards were truly life-saving.

One to delay time, one to block fatal attacks, one to escape.

The three-piece set was simply perfect!

Therefore, having understood these things, they naturally had no contempt for Jiang Yuan.

This was why they were watching the show now that Li Yueying was criticizing the short-haired girl.

Not only did you instigate trouble, but you also didn't understand anything, instigating trouble just for the sake of it.

Now that you're being punished, who else would we laugh at if not you?

Li Yueying gave a cold glance at the speechless short-haired girl, then gestured for her to sit down.

“You want to know the difference between Character Cards and Summoning Cards, right?”

After the short-haired girl sat down, Li Yueying then looked around and asked everyone.

“Yes!”

Many people in the class nodded, and even the auditors outside the classroom pricked up their ears, listening carefully to Li Yueying’s next words.

“The biggest difference between Character Cards and Summoning Cards is that Character Cards are historical figures, while Summoning Cards are fictional characters.”

Li Yueying didn't beat around the bush and directly began to explain the differences between the two.

Jiang Yuan also listened with great interest, as this was his first time learning the difference between Character Cards and the Summoning Cards he created.

The person who created Character Cards was too far back in time for him to know what Character Cards were like.

“I imagine most of you here should know that the character in the Character Card created by Mo Qiancheng is a historical figure, Lu Shao Zun, who once greatly defeated the Demon Race’s dongtian in history.”

“But who is the Card Spirit in the Summoning Card?”
