3: Card making failed

"Mu Qianshan, from now on, Little Lord will cover you!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but want to laugh, recalling the proud words a pure-faced boy, about 1.6 meters tall, had said to him last night.

But after he finished laughing, Jiang Yuan's brows furrowed again.

No other reason, just Nezha's second sentence that slipped out.

"Eh? Where's my Fire Tipped Spear?"

"Why don't I have any weapons?"

That's right, Nezha had no weapons on him.

Including his signature Fire Tipped Spear, none of them were there.

Although he had already prepared himself mentally, Jiang Yuan was still quite worried at this moment.

He had already gone all out to create this Nezha Skill Card.

Weapons...

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's worried expression, Mu Qianshan on the side asked curiously.

"I'm thinking about where to get some money."

"Hmm."

Mu Qianshan was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Generally speaking, Card Masters earn money either by selling some of their uniquely crafted Skill Cards."

"But you probably don't have a single penny now, so let's not talk about things that require initial investment."

"Otherwise, it's participating in competitions, such as those held for excitement during mall grand openings, or official competitions, etc. Even if the reward isn't money, you can exchange the reward for money."

"Failing that, you can go to a Grotto-Heaven, either inside or around a Grotto-Heaven that has been breached, to obtain materials or kill Alien for spoils of war, and so on."

"I understand all that."

Jiang Yuan still had a mournful face as he nodded to Mu Qianshan.

"But the problem is, I'm not strong enough to participate in competitions, and going into the wild is too dangerous."

The problem Jiang Yuan spoke of was his current problem.

If he were to participate in a competition, Nezha's strength would grow with his own strength.

In other words, Nezha's current strength was only at the Star Epoch Middle Stage.

Unless it was an official competition specifically for students, it would be fine.

But unfortunately, there weren't any recently.

And going into the wild wasn't impossible either.

The city he was in was called Town Sea, and from the name, one could tell it was near the sea.

Because of the vastness of the ocean, no one could guard the Grotto-Heavens in the sea, leading to the Grotto-Heavens in the sea being breached by foreign races.

At this time, the ocean was basically filled with aquatic Xenomorph.

Theoretically, Nezha had the Mixed Sea skill, which could increase damage to aquatic creatures.

In this situation, facing some low-strength aquatic creatures by the sea would be perfect.

But the problem lay with him.

His physical condition was too poor, and all his combat power was on Nezha, not to mention.

Because of his poor physical condition, he could be said to die with a touch, and he couldn't even outrun crabs that had come ashore.

In this situation, he would only be a burden if he went.

Furthermore, Nezha couldn't be too far from him, otherwise, if Nezha went alone, he could just lie at home and wait.

Unfortunately, the maximum distance Nezha could be from him was not very far.

However, Mu Qianshan's words just now also gave Jiang Yuan an idea.

Since Nezha had appeared, could Nezha's nemesis, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, also appear?

This pagoda had very strong defense.

Although its attack power was also very strong, it mainly relied on the seven magical treasures inside.

Just looking at the appearance of the Nezha Skill Card, he knew that most likely these seven magical treasures also needed to be crafted separately.

But the problem wasn't big now; what he needed was the defense of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Nezha would go out to fight, and he would hide inside the pagoda, waiting for Nezha to finish fighting before coming out to collect the spoils.

Hmm, perfect!

Also, he could make some disposable Skill Cards of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

One-time Skill Cards could also be sold for some money then.

He was too short on money right now.

Nezha was also a money pit.

Not to mention future advancements, just Nezha's current weapons were enough to give him a headache for a while.

It just so happened that the school's martial arts competition was in a month; he would see if he could make it before the competition.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about how to make money."

After his thoughts were interrupted by Mu Qianshan's voice, a smile also appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.

"Can you lend me some money? I'll return it soon."

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this sentence!" Mu Qianshan looked at Jiang Yuan with tears in his eyes, full of emotion.

Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched: "No, it can't be that bad."

"Why not? This is the first time you've ever needed my help in all the time we've known each other!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's helpless gaze, Mu Qianshan waved his hand: "Enough talk, how much do you need!"

"I don't know yet."

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "I want to make a Skill Card, and I only have a rough idea right now, so I'm not sure how much money I'll need."

"No problem, when class is over, we'll go buy them together. Let's go to my family's Skill Card mall, there's a discount!"

"Alright."

Looking at Mu Qianshan's excited eyes, Jiang Yuan really couldn't say anything to refuse.

After all, this was indeed the first time in so many years that he had asked Mu Qianshan for help.

A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face: "After the Skill Card is made, I'll let you see my exclusive Skill Card!"

"Okay!"

...

...

"What kind of material Skill Card do you want to buy?"

"Hmm, first, a tower-type material Skill Card."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan said to Mu Qianshan.

This was Mu Qianshan's family mall, and he was very familiar with it.

"Okay, this way."

Led by Mu Qianshan, Jiang Yuan quickly bought the material Skill Cards.

"Is it okay to just buy one set?"

"No problem."

Facing Mu Qianshan's worried gaze, Jiang Yuan replied with a hint of confidence, then entered the mall's Skill Card crafting room.

The materials for crafting the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda were not many.

Jiang Yuan also didn't plan to directly buy good materials to craft a higher quality Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

After all, it wasn't his own money; for now, as long as it worked, it was fine.

After he earned money, he would buy good materials with his own money to craft a higher quality Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

He took out three white material Skill Cards: Seven-Story Pagoda, Adamantine Iron, and Thousand-Jun Stone.

Entering his consciousness space, he outlined the image of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda on a blank Skill Card.

Because it was a transitional Skill Card, Jiang Yuan didn't draw a grand scene like he did for the Nezha Skill Card.

It was just a golden seven-story pagoda, with a background of grass and trees.

After outlining the scene, the next step was signing.

His spiritual power condensed on his index finger, signing:

Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!

As the signing was completed, Jiang Yuan also manifested this Skill Card outside.

As the three material Skill Cards merged, the light on the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda Skill Card gradually grew stronger.

Although it was just white light.

As the three material Skill Cards dissipated, the light on the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda reached its peak.

"Bang!"

"Eh?"

Jiang Yuan stared blankly at the Skill Card fragments, which had lost their light and shattered into a dozen pieces floating in the air.

"That's not right, why did it fail?"
