After having a satisfying meal, Zhou Chen returned to his room. He sold a bottle of cure disease potion to the rich girl for nine million.
He now had over ten million cash on him, making him a true tycoon.
“It is so easy to earn money in this life. I never saw so much money in my previous life.”
Zhou Chen sighed in his heart.
In his previous life, until he died and transmigrated, he had been an ordinary middle-class youth. He had never had more than 100,000?RMB1?on him, and had never seen so much money as now.
“Ten million… I can buy a house in the suburbs of Yang City. I can even buy a car.”
Having a house and a car seemed to be some obsession brought about by his previous life.
“There’s no hurry. The priority is still the Survival mission.”
After calming down, Zhou Chen remembered that as a Survivor, he actually spent less time on Planet Blue than in the Survival world. Moreover, he had just signed the lease agreement for his room. If he bought a house now, he would lose money.
“Let’s see if there’s anything good in the trading area…”
With Survival missions as the priority, the priority of buying equipment in the trading area was higher than a house and a car.
Zhou Chen opened the system’s trading area and set the filter option to “Mid Bronze and above”. He began to check the higher quality items in the trading area.
[Selling: Cracked Hammer (Mid Bronze). Price: One mid bronze physique scroll or two low bronze physique scrolls.]
[Selling: Lightning Sword (Mid Bronze). Price: 2.12 million Dragon Country bills.]
[Selling: Healing Pill (Mid Bronze). Price: 2.3 million Dragon Country bills.]
[Selling: Exorcism Talisman (Mid Bronze). Price: 1.4 million Dragon Country bills.]
“I feel like there are more good things than before, but they aren’t particularly attractive to me.”
Zhou Chen had a lot of things on him now, and he did not lack weapons. He also had potions. After looking at the trading area for a while, he closed it.
Then, Zhou Chen continued to train as a Card Creator. To be precise, he continued to meditate and cultivate his soul power.
He quickly spent the day in a deep and relaxed state of meditation. It was not until the afternoon of the second day that he felt a trace of magical energy in his body.
“The progress is quite good. I’ve cultivated soul power and am only one step away from becoming a Card Creator.”
After cultivating the soul power that a Card Creator needed, Zhou Chen was somewhat impatient to move on to the next step: Successfully create a magic card.
He quickly took out a special tree bark paper he had bought in the previous Survival world. He also took out a quill and prepared to practice.
First, he used a pocket knife to cut the special tree bark hard paper into the size of a poker card. This size was suitable for making magic cards. Then, he held the quill and instilled his soul power into it. He began to carve on the poker-size paper.
“What should I draw? Apart from needing enough soul power to carve, the form and spirit of the magic card cannot be too bad. Otherwise, it will easily fail.”
The Card Creator inheritance book had warned about these, so Zhou Chen did not draw randomly.
“My drawing skills are close to zero, I’ll just make the simplest thing.”
As he injected his soul power into the quill, he drew a white line on the grayish-brown tree bark paper without using ink or paint.
The thing he chose to draw was a line, an ordinary thin line. It was easier to succeed with it since it was easy to draw and was very energy-saving.
After drawing the line, Zhou Chen felt that his soul power had basically been exhausted. He was glad that he had chosen the right target to draw. If he had drawn something else, he would definitely have failed because he lacked soul power.
“It’s time to witness a miracle.”
Zhou Chen still had one last step left: try to use this card and see if it had really achieved the expected effect.
“It should be possible.”
While cheering himself on, Zhou Chen activated the magic card through the mysterious connection he had with it.
This was the basic ability of a Card Creator. As long as it was a magic card created by the Card Creator, he could activate the card with the soul power on the card.
With a thought from Zhou Chen, the card with a white line on it changed into a white thread.
The thread was less than a centimeter long and seemed to be a little like plastic. Zhou Chen pulled it and found that it was not strong. It should break with a little more force.
[You have successfully initiated into a class. You have become: Card Creator (Beginner)]
At this moment, the system reported to Zhou Chen that the initiation had been successful.
“The system actually notified this, that means there should be an update on the interface.”
While he was feeling happy about his success, Zhou Chen opened his character interface and saw that there was indeed an additional line.
“Class: Card Creator (Beginner)”
“It went really smoothly… It seems like becoming a Card Creator is indeed not difficult.”
Zhou Chen had read in the inheritance book that it was not difficult to become a Card Creator as long as the person satisfied some requirements in terms of Spirit. It would be more challenging to advance further as it depended on the person’s talent and financial ability.
Just as he was thinking, the white thread that was formed from the magic card completely disappeared and returned to a grayish-brown card with a white line. It meant that the magic card had exhausted its soul power and had to be filled with soul power again before it could be used.
“From a drawing on a card to a material object for a few seconds and then back again. This is really not scientific, but it’s very magical!”
Zhou Chen was already used to various supernatural phenomena, so the unusualness of the magic card did not surprise him.
“Although this magic card has no practical use, it has sentimental value. I will store it.”
After playing with the magic card he made, Zhou Chen stored it in his inventory.
This magic card was difficult to modify after it was created. Until it was destroyed, it would only be a useless card that could temporarily change into a short thin thread.
The high expenditure of a Card Creator came from this. After each card was created, it would be fixed. Regardless of whether the card was successfully made or failed, it would be difficult to make changes to the card again.
Therefore, a lot of paper would be wasted during the training process.
The cost of the paper was not to be underestimated. The special tree bark paper was only a low-tier material to create cards. Before entering the Legendary realm, if a Card Creator wanted to create a higher-level card, they had to use high-level paper such as mithril paper, moonlight paper, and so on. Those things were not cheap.
