310: The problem with Linglong Tower! (asking for monthly ticket)

“Hmm…”

Zhan Youqing pondered for a moment before looking up at Jiang Yuan with a smile.

“You decide, but this Snow Mastiff Armor is for heavy warriors. For the second one, choose something faster.”

“Whether it’s the wood-attribute Wind Hawk or the earth-attribute Earth Tiger, either is fine.”

“Alright, no problem!”

Jiang Yuan nodded and glanced at the stage.

After their little interlude, the top 100 to top 50 competition in the first arena officially began.

However, Jiang Yuan now held “heavy funds”!

He no longer had the desire to watch, and after greeting Zhan Youqing and Huang Huanqing, he prepared to leave.

Mu Qianshan was nowhere to be seen again, but he had just taken a call, so it was unclear if he was discussing the last Xuan Yuan Purple Pill.

“Is the Snow Mastiff Armor really that strong?”

After Jiang Yuan left, Huang Huanqing hesitated for a moment before asking Zhan Youqing.

“Of course!”

Zhan Youqing proudly puffed out her chest: “You know my strength. Even operating the Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor, I would most likely not be able to beat Shi Zhuan.”

“After all, with the same mecha, I was defeated by him before coming to the academy.”

“But now, with the Snow Mastiff Armor in hand, I can confidently say I easily defeated that guy!”

Zhan Youqing became very excited when she talked about this.

Indeed, anyone would be unhappy being constantly suppressed by Shi Zhuan.

Especially someone with her strong competitive drive.

“Oh, I see.”

Huang Huanqing nodded, but Zhan Youqing seemed to have seen through Huang Huanqing’s thoughts, leaning close to Huang Huanqing’s ear and softly “inciting” her.

“Let me tell you, he’s a Card Creator with true originality.”

“Both you and I have seen many Card Creators, but how many Card Creators with such spiritual insight have you seen?”

“While his price isn’t very high right now, it’s best to act first. The future improvement of card quality will be much easier with this as a prerequisite.”

“Furthermore, the cards he creates are excellent in both quality and strength.”

“Just as you’re thinking, after Mechanical Crow leaves you, are you confident you can find a more suitable Card Creator to create something that can replace your Mechanical Crow’s position?”

“It’s impossible. For Summoning Cards, besides Jiang Yuan, there’s only his teacher.”

“And after Mechanical Crow leaves, will you easily accept another crow-type beast companion?”

After Zhan Youqing finished speaking, Huang Huanqing fell silent.

Honestly, was Zhan Youqing right?

She was very right.

But the problem was, she still couldn’t make up her mind.

Because Mechanical Crow was still here!

Huang Huanqing gently stroked the cold metal in her pocket and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Zhan Youqing could only shake her head helplessly.

She understood Huang Huanqing’s thoughts, and therefore she also understood that Huang Huanqing had to overcome this herself.

After all, Mechanical Crow had been with Huang Huanqing since childhood.

“Old Monarch, how is it? Have you found the problem?”

“Hmm.”

Old Monarch nodded, looking at the blue quality card in his hand, and said to Jiang Yuan.

“If we follow the card creation rules of this world, your card creation idea should be problematic.”

“Card creation idea?”

Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled: “What’s wrong with the card creation idea? Isn’t it just made according to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?”

“Yes, that’s correct to say.”

Old Monarch nodded: “When you first started making this card, you probably intended it to be a defensive type card, right?”

“Yes.”

“But why did you add offensive materials later? At that point, your idea already had a hint of wanting this magic treasure to have offensive power.”

“Oh!”

Hearing Old Monarch say this, Jiang Yuan immediately understood.

“So you mean I just need to make the card according to my own intentions, and I don’t need to refer to its original prototype at all?”

“That’s right.”

Old Monarch stroked his beard with a smile and nodded: “However, even if you’ve realized it, the tone of this card has already been set, and it can no longer be purely converted back into a defensive equipment.”

“What a pity.”

Jiang Yuan sighed. If he hadn't made it according to the prototype of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda back then, but instead continued to make it according to the Linglong Pagoda he had made, would he now have a Linglong Pagoda that could withstand attacks from red quality cards of the same realm?

Unfortunately, Old Monarch came out too late after all.

If only he had known earlier.

But it was indeed his own fault. When he upgraded the Linglong Pagoda card back then, he was thinking of adding some offensive power to it.

As someone with myasthenia, he still had some obsession with offense.

But it was precisely because of this obsession that he lost a defensive equipment that he completely relied on for safety.

“Oh, and this.”

Jiang Yuan said, taking out another purple quality card.

“Hehe, this is made based on the Mystic Yellow Linglong Pagoda, and it’s another piece of equipment I made to protect myself after the Linglong Pagoda failed.”

“This card?”

Old Monarch handed the blue quality card back to Jiang Yuan, then took the purple quality card from Jiang Yuan’s hand.

“It’s pretty good, mostly focused on defense.”

“To be precise, this card has a wider range of use than that blue quality card, but in specific situations, the Linglong Pagoda will be stronger.”

“That’s right.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, understanding what Old Monarch meant.

Under specific conditions, meaning when the strength of both sides is equal, the Linglong Pagoda basically cannot be broken through by the enemy’s defense.

Of course, if it’s something like the Fire Tipped Spear, that’s another matter.

After all, the Fire Tipped Spear’s characteristic of ignoring armor defense skills is too terrifying.

Although, like the Linglong Pagoda, it also needs to be at the same level to trigger.

But this is indeed a great weapon.

Just like when facing Shi Zhuan, if Jiang Yuan and Shi Zhuan were at the same level.

Nezha would be able to quickly defeat Shi Zhuan with the Fire Tipped Spear.

After all, although the Pale Floating Pagoda on Shi Zhuan’s body has very strong basic defense, half of its “ultimate defense” comes from the various skills on the Pale Floating Pagoda.

After those skills are gone, with Nezha and the Fire Tipped Spear’s attack strength, it wouldn’t take long to forcefully dismantle that Pale Floating Pagoda!

“With these two cards protecting you, basically, if the difference in strength is not too great, there’s nothing they can do to you.”

Old Monarch said, stroking his beard, and began to consider whether he should also make such a card.

After all, this old Daoist is a non-combatant.

Although the Bagua Furnace also has some defensive capabilities, being covered by a furnace and being protected by a gleaming golden pagoda, there’s still a difference in prestige.

Old Monarch thought, and returned the purple quality card to Jiang Yuan.

He felt that he didn’t need to think so much.

If it came to a fight, he and Jiang Yuan could just squeeze together.

He was very familiar with the Mystic Yellow Linglong Pagoda; accommodating both of them was no problem at all.

But the Linglong Pagoda was hard to say, after all, it belonged to Li Jing, and he hadn't tried it himself.

After all, even if Li Jing had the guts, he wouldn't dare to cover himself with the Linglong Pagoda.

This kind of thing should be asked to Nezha.

But unfortunately, Nezha, Shi Ji, and Zhao Gongming were not quite like him.

Ultimately, it was a matter of strength.

Old Monarch stroked his beard, thinking with some regret.

“The Linglong Pagoda cannot be upgraded by its own ability, but it can still be improved by the power of cards.”

Jiang Yuan took back the two cards and shook his head helplessly.

“Are you talking about the card you were rewarded with after winning the championship?”

“Yes, you can take a look.”

Jiang Yuan took out the purple quality upgrade card and handed it to Old Monarch.

The card’s description was simple, and Old Monarch quickly finished reading it.

“It’s a somewhat useless card.”

Old Monarch shook his head: “If new abilities cannot be added, then the card’s quality improvement will only be a numerical increase, which should be weaker than normally upgraded cards, right?”

“That’s right.”

Jiang Yuan nodded: “But it’s not without a solution. For example, an equipment master can add some modifiers, just like you, Old Monarch, using the Bagua Furnace to add some skills and effects to already created equipment cards.”

“That would indeed work.”

A hint of understanding flashed in Old Monarch’s eyes: “For your equipment, which has gone astray in its quality upgrade path, this method should be the best.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yuan was a little helpless: “Mainly, I don’t know what happened, but after the Linglong Pagoda was created, it was marked as a unique item, and a second one cannot be remade, otherwise it wouldn’t be so troublesome.”

“If it’s marked as a unique item, there must be a reason.”

Old Monarch chuckled, flicking his whisk: “Alright, this old Daoist is going to start making cards.”

“Do you need any materials? You can ask Mu Qianshan.”

“Okay, I’ll go find him later. You should cultivate quickly first.”

“Alright.”

After Jiang Yuan nodded, he began to cultivate.

As for how Old Monarch would find Mu Qianshan?

Jiang Yuan had equipped all his Card Spirits with a mobile terminal.

He was rich!

Soon, the living room became quiet, and Jiang Yuan entered a state of cultivation.

But…

Did he forget something?

Jiang Yuan’s head turned for a moment, then quickly stopped turning.

Forget it, he’d deal with it after cultivation ended.

… …

… …

Undead.

Undead Royal Family Palace.

“Is that human girl really that beautiful?”

“Of course!”

Ancient Capital Si Dan nodded solemnly, the soul fire in his pupils constantly flickering, as if verifying the truth of what Ancient Capital Si Dan said.

“Is that so.”

Ancient Capital Site stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Ancient Capital Si Dan instantly became alert: “I’m telling you, she’s the one I’m interested in!”

“Brother, I have an engagement.”

Ancient Capital Site said with disdain: “I don’t think that human girl is as beautiful as my fiancée.”

“Anyway, just don’t compete with me.”

Ancient Capital Si Dan pouted. He thought Shi Ji was more beautiful than anyone in their Undead race.

However, each Undead had their own taste, and he wasn’t sure about his brother’s taste.

If he really didn’t fancy Shi Ji, then he would be even more at ease.

But even if he did fancy Shi Ji, it didn’t matter. His fiancée, his future sister-in-law, was not someone to be trifled with.

If he really liked her, he would have to consider whether he could defeat his fiancée.

Ancient Capital Si Dan couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at this thought.

“Are you thinking something bad?” Ancient Capital Site narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ancient Capital Si Dan suspiciously and asking.

“No way, how could I!”

“Alright, I’ll believe you this once.”

Ancient Capital Site watched Ancient Capital Si Dan for a while, and seeing that he still looked so confident and clear-conscienced, he finally nodded.

“But do you really want to contend for that throne?”

“Of course. If I don’t contend for that throne, how will I have the say to marry a human girl?”

“Sigh, if that’s the case, then I’ll be the only one left on my front line.”

Ancient Capital Site sighed, saying with some displeasure.

Of the five princes of the Undead Royal Family, all except Ancient Capital Si Dan were contending for the throne.

However, the difference was that Ancient Capital Si Dan and Ancient Capital Site, two Undead born from the same mother, both did not want to contend for the throne.

Ancient Capital Si Dan clearly stated that he was not preparing to contend for the throne.

And Ancient Capital Site, due to the pressure from his mother and his brother’s abandonment, was forced to contend for the throne.

From the bottom of his heart, he actually didn’t really want to contend for this throne.

And now that his brother had this idea, he could confidently transfer all his influence and experience to his brother.

He had known since childhood that his brother was much smarter than him.

“Then I’ll still be in the open, and you’ll be in the dark. That way, they won’t be too wary of you.”

“Brother, do you trust me that much?”

Ancient Capital Si Dan looked at Ancient Capital Site with serious eyes, not answering his question, but instead asking him back.

“You’re my brother. If I don’t trust you, who do I trust?”

Ancient Capital Site smiled, reaching out and rubbing Ancient Capital Si Dan’s head.

“You’ve always been smarter than me since we were little. I believe our Undead Royal Family will prosper more under your hands than under those three idiots.”

“Brother…”

Ancient Capital Si Dan looked up, the soul fire in his eye sockets gradually changing color.

“Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental.”

Ancient Capital Site gently patted Ancient Capital Si Dan’s head: “I heard your guard was completely wiped out in the last Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?”

“Yes, but so much time has passed, and I’ve recruited some new ones.”

“That works. Come with me to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield under Shen. Let your troops train a bit, and see if you can break through under this pressure.”

“I’ll also bring my guard, which will also be revenge for you and pave the way!”

The soul fire in Ancient Capital Site’s eyes flickered, then turned black, and his entire aura instantly burst forth.

“With my strength, going to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield under Shen, is it really okay?” Ancient Capital Si Dan nodded, then asked with some uncertainty.

After all, those active in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield under Shen were all of Late Stage strength.

“I am of Late Stage strength, and my guard is also of Late Stage strength. Even in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield under Shen, I can be considered a considerable force.”
