"Your grandson couldn't find you downstairs. Furious with his inability, he has returned to the Song Family," the System informed her.
Wen Jiang waved her hand dismissively. "Let's not bother with him for now."
Wen Jiang was not a meticulous Cultivator; she understood the principle of laying low when not absolutely certain.
She lacked any clear ideas for making new cards, mainly because there were too many possibilities, and her mind just crashed.What kind of card would be appropriate and also something she could make money from at the moment?After all, B-Rank Cards were only for flipping, not suited for mass production.
She browsed forums for information, and surprisingly, the trading section provided her with quite a few ideas.
[Urgent, purchasing a private A-Level 'Wild Wind Dance' Card, price negotiable!]
[Selling a private S Rank Card 'Blood Lotus', starting price one hundred million, serious inquiries only, no offline trades.]
[Buying an A-Rank Battle Card Set, commercial or private use both fine, must be a systematic set, individual battle cards not accepted!]
[Want to purchase an original B-Rank Dual-Change Animal Card, private use starting at one hundred thousand, willing to offer a one million starting price for exclusive rights.]
In the market, cards were divided into commercial and private use. If the card maker was willing to sell the card data for everyone to buy, it was considered commercial use. Private use meant it was only for one person and not for resale. The price wasn't fixed; it all depended on the card's value. A buyout meant directly selling one's own created card to another person. The copyright then belonged to the buyer, and the price was set by the original maker.
Generally, B-Rank Battle Cards were commercial. Private ones were rare, and buyouts were even rarer.
Not everyone was capable of making cards. When Battle Cards were in short supply, many mediocre ones appeared. For example, Animal Cards often turned out to be mediocre; they might only have enough power to be considered B-Rank and lack the cunning battle prowess of some Card Spirits.
In the real world, cards weren't like playing games; it wasn't about fairness. Animal Card Spirits fighting Superpower Spirit Cards—that was really no contest.
Isn't that mediocre?
The price of Animal Cards on the market was generally lower, so someone willing to pay one million for exclusive rights was indeed ruthless.
Of course, Dual-Change Cards... Wen Jiang's eyes lit up, and she clicked on the post.
Indeed, quite a few Spirit Card Masters were following this thread.
[- "Dual-Change Cards? Poster, that's going to be tough. Didn't you see Li Huijun's Kun and now you want one like that?"]
[- "How can an original Dual-Change Card be made now? Kun is SSR Skylord-class. How dare you ask for such a thing!"]
[- "B-Level actually has lower requirements, but I think no Spirit Card Master is capable of making a Dual-Change Card at this stage. Better wait for those big associations. I feel the appearance of Kun will inspire Spirit Card Masters with more innovative ideas."]
[- "For two million, I might consider it. One million to buy out a B-Level Dual-Change Card? Are you dreaming?"]
Dual-Change, as the name suggested, referred to having two forms.
It was normal for a Card Spirit to transform into another form, but asking for both forms to have combat capability was rather improbable. For example, there was a card that, before transformation, was an ordinary animal, but after transformation, its body swelled many times in size; this was a Transforming Card.
Such cards existed before but were extremely rare. This changed when Li Huijun developed the Double-Change Kun Card. It was said that its two forms displayed two different types of combat power, which was the key to the sensation it caused.
Low-level cards were generally made to be simple and brutal, with single abilities. Only SSR Cards displayed a riot of powers. How could there be B-Level Dual-Change Cards?
But Wen Jiang felt it was simply too easy.
A Dual-Change Card—isn't that the domain of the Demon Race?
The Demon Race not only had combat power in their original form but could also transform into humans and use different abilities.
The poster only asked interested parties to leave a message in the thread, and she would contact them privately.
[Wen Cangtian Asks The Heavens: "Hello, poster, I can make Dual-Change Cards. Please message me privately."]
Zero Egg scoffed, "Huh? What kind of bullshit are you spouting now? You can make a Dual-Change Card?"
Even though Wen Jiang had changed, the System instinctively doubted she could make such a new card. If she were capable of that, would it still be worrying about energy issues?
Wen Jiang retorted, "Shut up! Maintain the respectful attitude a dutiful son should have towards his father. Don't be so rebellious."
Zero Egg was speechless. "..."
Unexpectedly, Wen Jiang dared to reply to such a post, and someone immediately responded to her.
[Gloomy Path Ahead @Wen Cangtian Asks The Heavens: "Stop the bullshit. If you can make a Dual-Change Card that meets the original poster's requirements, I'll twist my head off and kick it like a ball."]
Wen Jiang was no good Samaritan.
[Wen Cangtian Asks The Heavens @Gloomy Path Ahead: "Dad's not interested in your head. If I make it, you live-stream yourself eating shit. Let everyone have an eye-opener."]
At this time, Wen Jiang also received a private message from the original poster.
Bunny Treasure sent a private message, "Huh? You can make a Dual-Change Card? Really? I just posted casually; I didn't really have much hope."
Wen Cangtian Asks The Heavens replied privately, "Yes. What are your requirements?"
Bunny Treasure messaged back, "Huh?! I can make requests? What kind of requests? A Dual-Change Card means it has combat abilities in both forms, not just some so-called enhanced transformation card, you know."
Wen Cangtian Asks The Heavens replied, "I know, I can assure you of that. I'm asking if you have any preferences for its appearance. Do you like something horrifying or cute and adorable?"
Bunny Treasure asked, "I can choose that too?"
This was the first time Bunny Treasure had met this kind of Spirit Card Master, and she was greatly shocked. Usually, if a Spirit Card Master had the inspiration to actually make such a card, it was as if heaven had opened its eyes.
And this one could even choose the appearance?Wasn't she just being led on a merry chase?She instantly felt this person was a scammer.But then again, even if she were scammed, it seemed like she wouldn't lose anything...And she was somewhat tempted.
Bunny Treasure typed, "Then... You see my ID; I like rabbits. Anything slightly resembling a rabbit will do, nothing horrifying. Yes, we can sign a contract."
She didn't want to deal with this offline, just sign the contract online. In this world, online contracts were still protected.
With such a contract, Bunny Treasure could choose whether to give a deposit or not, with different penalty mechanisms. If no deposit was given, Wen Jiang wouldn't be responsible if she couldn't make it. If a deposit was given and Wen Jiang failed to make it within the specified time, she would have to compensate triple the money.
Bunny Treasure, being kind-hearted, chose the option not to give a deposit.
Wen Jiang didn't care. A rabbit? A Dual-Change Card? Too easy.
Back when she was cultivating, there was a Rabbit Demon living at the foot of the mountain where she stayed. She had beaten formidable opponents across the world, but it was known she didn't randomly attack those who bore her no grudge, whether human or Demon Kind. Consequently, many demons disfavored by other cultivators found a slim chance of survival in Wen Jiang's territory.
Wen Jiang thought of the Rabbit Demon's appearance; it was quite adorable. In its human form, it was a young girl not yet fully grown, with two rabbit ears on her head that hadn't fully disappeared—a sign of incomplete cultivation.
With an idea in mind, Wen Jiang headed to the card pool to start making her first card.
Zero Egg still couldn't believe Wen Jiang could just casually make cards. Glancing at the forum, that Gloomy Path Ahead was still barking away.
