72: Ka Ling? What Ka Ling? (Please read this, today is very important!)
The Commander-in-Chief looked around, and seeing everyone’s confused expressions, he continued, “Because the card-making requirements this time are for grassroots soldiers, there’s no need for them to be too high-level.”
After the Commander-in-Chief finished speaking, everyone immediately understood.
Only Jiang Yuan remained bewildered, not knowing what they had understood.
“The Commander-in-Chief means that the cards to be made this time are auxiliary cards, not combat cards,” Mu Qianshan explained to Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan was still utterly confused.
‘No, is that how it’s understood?’
“Then let’s talk about the usage conditions,” the Commander-in-Chief continued.
“Our target this time is the sea monsters in the East Sea, so the requirements are simple: the cards must enable our soldiers to fight underwater.”
After the Commander-in-Chief finished speaking, he gestured for everyone to voice their thoughts directly.
“To support underwater combat, it seems like both [Gills] and [Underwater Breathing] would work, so why do we need to make new cards?” one person stood up and asked the Commander-in-Chief.
After he spoke, everyone looked up at the Commander-in-Chief.
Jiang Yuan was the same; the [Gills] and [Underwater Breathing] that person mentioned were both blue-grade cards and could support underwater combat.
“The raw materials for [Gills] are too scarce to support large-scale operations.
As for [Underwater Breathing], its raw materials meet the requirements, but it cannot be used for a long time.
Even if one person uses two cards, it only lasts five or six minutes, which is clearly not enough time,” the Commander-in-Chief said, looking at everyone.
Besides this, there was actually another reason.
He wanted to completely resolve the threat of the Dongtian in the East Sea!
Even if he couldn’t reach the opposite world, he wanted to make sure the sea monsters from the opposite world wouldn’t dare to easily invade!
In this situation, [Underwater Breathing] was clearly not sufficient.
After all, besides the duration issue, there was also the water pressure problem.
[Underwater Breathing] couldn’t solve the water pressure problem.
So if [Underwater Breathing] were chosen, another card would be needed to solve the water pressure problem.
Blue-grade cards were already quite a consumption for grassroots soldiers.
If another blue-grade card were added, the combined combat power would be difficult to guarantee.
This was why he held this auction.
Fighting to sustain the fight, living off the enemy, they were not short on money.
“Do you have any ideas?” Mu Qianshan quietly asked Jiang Yuan, seeing him frowning as if deep in thought.
“I do have a little,” Jiang Yuan did not hide anything from Mu Qianshan, nodding directly to him.
Indeed, there was a card that could meet the Commander-in-Chief’s requirements.
Its quality would be roughly white-grade or blue-grade.
However, in Jiang Yuan’s opinion, it was most likely white-grade.
If not, he could try making a blue-grade card.
But the current problem was whether the card he made could meet their requirements.
And how would it be calculated after the card was made?
Would he be directly conscripted to make cards for them day and night?
It was better to have a little more distrust between people.
“If you have an idea, bring it up.”
“It’s just an idea right now, and don’t we need to have the physical card first?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, not in a hurry to show himself.
“Alright,” Mu Qianshan nodded, and the Commander-in-Chief on the stage waited a moment, then, seeing no more questions from the crowd, he spoke.
“Everyone has three days to think and create.
At ten o’clock in the morning three days from now, those with ideas can come.”
After the Commander-in-Chief finished speaking, he turned and left directly.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Yuan stood up and walked out.
He still had many things he wanted to ask Mu Qianshan.
As the eldest young master of the Mu Family, Mu Qianshan surely knew more than him.
“Do you have any concerns?” Mu Qianshan asked Jiang Yuan as soon as they stepped out.
With so many years of relationship with Jiang Yuan, he could roughly guess Jiang Yuan’s thoughts.
“Indeed, what if the card I make is chosen?”
“They’ll give you money, materials, and then have you make the cards,” Mu Qianshan said, and Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment.
“That simple?”
Mu Qianshan was a little surprised, “Otherwise?”
“They won’t take me to the military camp and make me make cards day and night, will they?”
“How could that be?” Mu Qianshan chuckled, “What are you thinking? Why would they do that to you?”
“I’m just afraid they’re in a hurry,” Jiang Yuan said, a little embarrassed.
“Don’t worry, it will probably be a year or two before these cards are needed.
The deployment of various supplies takes time, especially cards.”
Most card production is irreplicable.
Even for the same card, the production methods vary between different people.
Just like the cards Jiang Yuan made, because he had many orders at the time, he once tried to teach Mu Qianshan how to make Linglong Pagoda.
However, all the steps were fine, but the Linglong Pagoda still couldn’t be made.
He couldn’t even get past the signature part, let alone the subsequent material fusion.
Mu Qianshan himself understood that there were many cards in this world that only he could make.
Even if all the steps were broken down and fed to the other party, he would find it very difficult to replicate them.
This was why Jiang Yuan was worried that he would be dragged into the army to make cards day and night.
However, hearing Mu Qianshan say that, he felt much more at ease.
“Is the pay good?”
“Of course, the military’s procurement price should be higher than your outside selling price, but not by too much.”
Mu Qianshan finished speaking, then looked at Jiang Yuan curiously, “So you have an idea?”
“Of course, do you remember Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form? It’s a series of cards related to that.”
Jiang Yuan smiled at Mu Qianshan, and then the two parted ways.
Mu Qianshan had other matters to attend to, and he also needed to find materials for the new card.
After the two separated, Mu Qianshan also left.
However, after receiving a phone call, Mu Qianshan’s destination changed.
A moment later, in a small restaurant, Mu Qianshan sat upright, and the person opposite him was none other than the Commander-in-Chief from the stage earlier.
“Xiaoshan, it’s been a long time, you’ve given me quite a surprise,” the Commander-in-Chief smiled, “I saw your performance in the Dongtian Simulation League, it was indeed excellent.”
Mu Qianshan smiled awkwardly, “Not at all, it’s all thanks to my teammates’ strength.”
“Then I won’t beat around the bush.
Two things: one is the card-making matter we just discussed, and the other is about your teammate.”
The Commander-in-Chief smiled, not intending to beat around the bush with Mu Qianshan.
He had watched Mu Qianshan grow up, so he could speak directly about anything.
“That Number 777, your teammate with the long spear.”
“Recently, many people have asked me to find him, but there’s no information.
What’s his situation?”
The Commander-in-Chief was indeed curious; the admissions officers from top and first-class academies couldn’t find any information, and even he and the mayor couldn’t find anything.
This was incredible!
“Oh, him? His name is Nezha, he’s Jiang Yuan’s Card Spirit, the one sitting next to me today.”
“Oh, Nezha,” the Commander-in-Chief nodded, then realized, “Card Spirit?”
“Yes, Card Spirit.”
“What Card Spirit? What is a Card Spirit?”
