165: Hit Shiji's butt (Combined chapter, asking for monthly tickets)
Jiang Yuan was a bit conflicted. The current advancement path for Linglong Pagoda was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, which focused more on attacking opponents.
However, what Jiang Yuan wanted was defense.
If he wanted defense, then the ultimate goal should be the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.
In this situation, it would be better to reset a Linglong Pagoda card.
Or create a new defensive card.
For example, a certain Innate Five Directional Banner?
As for things like the Taiji Diagram or the Cloud of Merit, these were too high-level and not currently being considered.
Although the Innate Five Directional Banner was also very high-level, the problem was that it could be split into five.
If the combined level was very high, then the level should be lower after separation, right?
Of course, there were other Skill Cards and so on.
For example, the invisibility from Seventy-Two Transformations that he had always wanted to create, or Standing Upright Without a Shadow from Thirty-Six Transformations, etc.
These were all excellent equipment cards and Skill Cards that could protect himself or save his life.
"Qiankun Bow? Zhentian Arrow?"
Nezha, following behind Jiang Yuan, scratched his head and asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Jiang Yuan, "But, don't you already have the Qiankun Circle for long-range attacks?"
"I can understand the Huntian Ribbon, but why the Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow?"
"Strictly speaking, the Qiankun Circle isn't considered a long-range attack, but if you don't want those two, what do you want?"
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then asked Nezha.
"Hmm, you're right. It seems like only these two can be used for now."
Nezha nodded, suddenly realizing that many of his weapons were specifically for demon races.
For example, the Yin Yang Twin Swords, the Demon Slaying Sword, the Demon Slaying Blade, the Demon Binding Lock, the Demon Subduing Pestle, and so on.
"But the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover can't be made right now, can it?"
"That's right."
After Jiang Yuan nodded, Nezha accepted this point.
"Be content, you have quite a few weapons."
Shi Ji glanced at Jiang Yuan, sighing slightly, "Unlike me, I still don't have a weapon."
"Haha, you'll have one soon, aren't we looking for the materials to make the Taia Sword for you right now?"
Jiang Yuan knew Shi Ji was hinting at him, so he shook his head awkwardly and said to Shi Ji.
After receiving Jiang Yuan's reply, Shi Ji's lips also curved slightly upwards, and she continued walking ahead.
The three quickly arrived at the Wild Market, but it seemed a bit desolate lately, with not many people setting up stalls.
"Why aren't there many people setting up stalls lately?"
After buying a material card at one of the stalls, Jiang Yuan curiously asked the stall owner.
"Don't you know? Recently, there's a Ten Thousand Races Battlefield in the Xuanxiao Stage fighting here. Most of them have gathered in the market at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."
"Just to wait for the first-hand supply of goods."
After the boss finished speaking, Jiang Yuan finally understood.
"Oh, I see. Thank you, big brother."
"You're welcome."
After hearing this explanation, Jiang Yuan didn't pay too much attention.
Let them fight, it would be truly strange if there wasn't a fight in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield any day.
However, since there were no good things here, he would go find Zhu Liangrong.
Zhu Liangrong was the one who had originally given Jiang Yuan the quest.
The person who obtained the golden horn of the Golden Horn clan of the Undead.
He was a third-year student with a wide network, and also a Card Creator, with many materials in his hands.
And the reward Jiang Yuan received after completing the quest he issued was the ability to purchase some cards from him.
If the mall also didn't have the cards he wanted later, then he could only go to him.
If he didn't have them either, then he could only issue quests.
White and blue quality card materials were still very easy to find.
Cards of this level didn't require Jiang Yuan to venture out himself for now.
However, it would be hard to say when the card quality increased later.
Although he could also issue quests to obtain this card.
But when the cost of a card exceeded the price of obtaining it, it was better to get the card himself.
Jiang Yuan continued to wander through the Wild Market and the mall.
Soon, he had collected all the materials for making the Taia Sword.
"Next, let's go open some blind boxes."
Jiang Yuan rubbed his hands with a smile, then said to Nezha and Shi Ji beside him.
"Going to open blind boxes again."
Although Nezha said this, he was also a bit excited.
"Yes, let's see how our luck is today, and if it's suitable for card creation."
Jiang Yuan nodded. Although it was already evening, if the blind boxes opened were decent, there was still time to create cards.
"Then let's go. This time, I'm definitely going to open something good!" Nezha nodded excitedly, then walked towards the blind box shop.
In a short while, each of the three had another blind box in their hands.
Jiang Yuan still got a blue quality material card, while Nezha got a blue quality Skill Card, and Shi Ji got a blue quality weapon card.
For Shi Ji, she didn't understand the joy of opening blind boxes.
But she knew that weapon cards could be sold for a better price.
Similarly, although she didn't know where the fun of opening blind boxes was, she would still accompany Jiang Yuan and Nezha to open blind boxes together.
"You first, you first."
Jiang Yuan and Nezha looked at Shi Ji with similar anticipation, planning to let Shi Ji open the blind box first to show them how it's done.
Or rather, to be their warm-up draw.
"Alright."
Shi Ji naturally didn't understand all these twists and turns and just opened the blind box directly.
"An A-grade blue quality weapon card, not bad!"
The shop owner took the card from Shi Ji's hand and said, somewhat surprised.
This woman in black seemed to have good luck.
Every time she came to open blind boxes, she not only didn't lose money, but most of the time, she even made a little profit.
Unlike the two next to her, who were pure money-sending children.
"Speaking of which, your luck seems to be good every time."
Nezha mumbled with a slight pout, then opened his own blind box.
"A C-grade blue quality Skill Card." The boss glanced at the card in Nezha's hand, then said to Nezha.
"A C-grade blue quality Skill Card, mm, your luck is as consistent as ever."
Shi Ji nodded seriously, but it made Nezha quite angry.
"Damn it!"
Nezha was annoyed, but he still turned to look at Jiang Yuan, who was opening a blind box beside him.
"Eh?"
"An S-grade blue quality material, Star Spirit Gold, a good material card."
After the shop owner finished speaking, he skillfully prepared to put away the card.
After all, Jiang Yuan and the others had opened blind boxes so many times, and every time they opened a card, they would hand it over to him for recycling.
Presumably, this time should be no exception.
"Eh, wait, I have a use for this card, I won't recycle it for now." Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stopped the shop owner after realizing.
Putting everything else aside, wasn't Star Spirit Gold very good for making the Huntian Ribbon?
Now it was good, the Huntian Ribbon only needed one more material card to start production.
However, today was clearly not very suitable for card creation.
Tomorrow, he would see if he could buy the last material card from Zhu Liangrong, and then open another blind box to see the situation.
"Oh, oh, okay."
The shop owner nodded, then returned the card in his hand to Jiang Yuan.
"I thought this card would also be recycled."
"This card is related to a card I'm going to create next, so I'll go back and see if I can make it."
"Then I wish you success."
The shop owner smiled, and Jiang Yuan also smiled and nodded at the shop owner: "Borrowing your auspicious words."
After speaking with the boss, and after Shi Ji and Nezha gave Jiang Yuan the star spirit stone from their recycled cards, Jiang Yuan and the others left.
"Mu Qianshan, do you think my luck is really bad?"
Nezha walked on the road, asking Jiang Yuan with a worried expression.
"Ha."
Jiang Yuan chuckled, somewhat at a loss for how to answer.
How should he put this?
There was some truth to the saying that spear-wielders historically had E-rank luck.
Looking at this, he knew it. Although he wasn't a pure spear-wielder.
But his luck was indeed not very good.
"Luck is just a temporary thing, maybe your luck will be better tomorrow, right?"
However, although he thought this, Jiang Yuan still comforted Nezha.
"I don't think so."
Nezha nodded thoughtfully and hadn't even spoken yet when Shi Ji, from the side, poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Mu Qianshan! Look at her, she's too much!"
Nezha glared at Shi Ji, but Shi Ji didn't care about Nezha's glare attack, still smiling and walking forward.
"It's useless for me to look at her."
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, a little amused, "What do you expect me to do to punish her?"
"Spank her butt, then lock her in a card!" Nezha pointed at Shi Ji, and Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look over.
Today, Shi Ji was wearing a black qipao.
The form-fitting qipao perfectly outlined Shi Ji's figure.
After hearing Nezha's words, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at the slightly swaying, perky area of Shi Ji and swallowed hard.
If he were to smack it, the sensation should be very good, right?
"Does it look good?"
Just as Jiang Yuan was pondering the sensation, a clear yet strangely alluring voice suddenly rang out.
"Good... not good... what looks good!"
Jiang Yuan's words took two turns, and when he looked up again, he had an air of righteousness.
Shi Ji's beautiful eyes rolled slightly, then she looked at Nezha beside Jiang Yuan.
Nezha was still unaware of the problem in his previous words and was looking at Shi Ji righteously.
I have Mu Qianshan to back me up!
This was Nezha's thought.
However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Yuan, who had just been caught red-handed by Shi Ji, had already cowered to the side.
"Little brat."
Shi Ji's lips curved slightly, and she said softly before turning around and walking ahead again.
Just by looking at Nezha, it was clear that Nezha had no such thoughts.
He was as pure as a little brat.
Or rather, he simply was.
As for the other person, it seemed he had some inappropriate thoughts.
Shi Ji's peripheral vision subtly swept over Jiang Yuan following behind her, and her mood became slightly more pleasant.
...
...
Time passed quickly, and Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuan No. 2 had already completed all orders together.
Including the military's orders.
Qin Boyuan: Not bad, you finished so quickly. I originally thought it would take you at least over a year.
Jiang Yuan: I've had more time recently, so I've been continuously creating cards.
After Jiang Yuan's message was sent, Jiang Yuan No. 2, who was beside him, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
"You... have been continuously creating cards?"
Jiang Yuan No. 2 finally couldn't help but ask Jiang Yuan.
"Is there any difference between us?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Yuan No. 2 with a smile, "Besides, it's not like I haven't been creating cards, alright?"
During this time, both of them had indeed been continuously creating cards.
He wanted to challenge the 117th ranked second-year student, but he hadn't returned.
There was nothing they could do. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuan No. 2 were either attending classes, studying, or creating cards every day.
Of course, Jiang Yuan was the one going to classes and studying.
Jiang Yuan No. 2, on the other hand, had been continuously creating cards.
However, during this time, he had not yet managed to create the Huntian Ribbon and Taia Sword.
There was nothing they could do; their luck recently had been quite poor.
Whether it was by himself or with Jiang Yuan No. 2, or even Jiang Yuan No. 2 opening blind boxes by himself, the lowest quality was B-grade.
In this situation, with only one set of material cards, he completely dared not start creating cards.
However, there hasn't been anything major recently, so Jiang Yuan's procrastination set in, and he just kept putting it off.
When his luck was good, he could create cards that day.
However, because he had been continuously creating cards recently, Jiang Yuan also naturally broke through to the Xuanxiao Middle Stage.
It must be said that cultivating together as two people is fast.
Especially when creating cards while cultivating.
Facing Jiang Yuan's shameless words, Jiang Yuan No. 2 was helpless. After giving Jiang Yuan a disgusted look, he returned to the chair beside him, sat down, and started drinking tea.
Somewhat strange.
Jiang Yuan No. 2 is Jiang Yuan's clone, but Jiang Yuan himself doesn't like drinking tea.
Instead, Jiang Yuan No. 2 seems to really enjoy drinking tea.
Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Yuan No. 2 with some curiosity.
It's just that Jiang Yuan No. 2 hasn't been unsummoned yet, so he doesn't know what Jiang Yuan is thinking.
Otherwise, he would definitely be able to answer Jiang Yuan's question.
Are you kidding me? Try creating cards twenty-four hours a day?
If I don't have some strong tea to keep me awake, how do you think I'd keep going?
It's just that Jiang Yuan No. 2 doesn't know. Otherwise, he would definitely complain.
Qin Boyuan: Good, good. Then give me another batch of the same specifications.
Qin Boyuan: I'll send you the final payment for the last batch and the deposit for this batch directly. I'll send you the materials in the next two days.
Jiang Yuan: Okay!
After Jiang Yuan nodded, he called out to Jiang Yuan No. 2 on the other side, "Brother, we've got work!"
"What? Why is there work again?" Jiang Yuan No. 2 was stunned.
He'd only rested for a few days, why was there more work?
"That's not right, I remember our school basically had one set per person, didn't it? Is it from outside the school?" Jiang Yuan No. 2 asked curiously.
During this time, through their relentless efforts in creating cards.
It could be said that, apart from a few people who hadn't returned to school, it was entirely possible for everyone to have a set.
Some even had more than one set.
After all, these were one-time Skill Cards, and those with money would naturally buy a few extra sets for backup.
"No, it's Water Entry, a military order."
Jiang Yuan No. 2 was stunned: "What, not enough yet?"
Jiang Yuan No. 2 was already feeling a bit nauseous at this point.
Compared to the Linglong Pagoda, Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form, and Earth Movement Technique three-piece set.
The military's orders were the real big deal.
You know, the military's first batch of Seventy-Two Transformations - Water Entry required a full thirty thousand cards!
Do you know how many days and nights of hard work I put into accumulating that?
Now you're telling me that much isn't enough?
Jiang Yuan No. 2 frowned, looking puzzled: "So, how many cards this time?"
"Still one batch, 30,000 cards."
"How much!!"
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, then quickly held down Jiang Yuan No. 2, who almost jumped up.
"Relax, relax, it's not just you. I'll help you make them too."
"Never mind that for now, tell me when the clone card will be upgraded. I might not be able to handle it alone!" Jiang Yuan No. 2 questioned Jiang Yuan aggressively.
"Brother, we are already blue-quality cards. Even if we upgrade to purple-quality cards. Not to mention whether I can create them, even if I do, we probably can't use them, right?"
Jiang Yuan said to Jiang Yuan No. 2 after pressing him back down, a wry smile on his face.
"Okay, then let's not talk about that. You said you'd help me create cards, right?"
Jiang Yuan No. 2 looked at Jiang Yuan with suspicion, staring at him as if Jiang Yuan dared to refuse, he would poke two transparent holes in his main body the next second.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry."
Jiang Yuan nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely be with you!"
Of course, necessary listening to lectures, studying, and creating new cards are also my normal duties.
In this situation, I naturally won't be able to help you create cards.
"Good!"
Jiang Yuan No. 2 nodded skeptically, but since Jiang Yuan hadn't unsummoned him yet, he naturally didn't know Jiang Yuan's little thoughts.
Anyway, Jiang Yuan had already decided that he wouldn't unsummon Jiang Yuan No. 2 for a while, to prevent him from discovering his little thoughts.
By the time he himself forgot about it, Jiang Yuan No. 2 naturally wouldn't discover it either.
"Alright, now we need to go open blind boxes!"
"No, is this reliable or not? You've been procrastinating for almost a month, haven't you?" Jiang Yuan No. 2 still looked at Jiang Yuan with suspicious eyes and asked.
"Where's a month!"
...
...
"Jiang Yuan really gave me a surprise; he has already completed the thirty thousand cards."
In the Zhenhai City military camp, Qin Boyuan said to Wang Hean beside him, somewhat emotionally.
"Since that's the case, while other supplies are being prepared, it's good to let him make more, after all, these thirty thousand are just for the vanguard, and if possible, it's best for each person to carry two cards to avoid accidents."
Wang Hean took a puff of his cigarette: "The water is, after all, the home ground of those beasts."
"Hmm, I know."
Qin Boyuan nodded: "It's also time to speed up the deployment of other resources."
After Qin Boyuan finished speaking, he looked up in the direction of Zhongyuan Academy, feeling a slight sense of emotion.
"I wonder what strength Jiang Yuan will reach by the time of the operation."
"I really want him to participate so his contributions will be even greater."
