Divine Card Creator-Chapter 419 - I Will Help To Boost Senior Qiu’s Popularity

Tian Du City. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Sword Card Master Association.

Lu Ming calmly studied cards creating fundamentals while Qiu Shuyi could be seen through the screen working hard on her live broadcast. Something was watching her with relish in a corner.

That was right.

That was Xiao-Xiaojian.

The card was obsessed with listening to Qiu Shuyi’s explanation. It seemed to be learning a lot from her.

“So this is it...

“So this is it...

“I see!”

Xiao-Xiaojian shouted in surprise.

Xiao-Xiaojian seemed to recall a lot of things after listening to Qiu Shuyi’s explanation. It combined the swordplay in ancient times with the modern swordplay and made significant progress.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

A beam of cold light flashed from time to time.

One could hear the rattling of a sword coming from the Original Card.

“Very good.”

Lu Ming was very pleased. However, ten minutes later Qiu Shuyi was heard saying happily, “Thank you fellow cultivator Xiaojian for the one hundred spaceships...”

One hundred spacecrafts?

Tsk tsk...

Are there that many rich tycoons now?

Lu Ming was filled with emotions.

The price of one spacecraft...

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming finally realized what was wrong.

Xiaojian...

Fellow cultivator?

Shush!

He suddenly turned back. In the corner of the room, something small was madly poking the screen. He could vaguely see spaceships flying over the sky...

Lu Ming’s account balance was instantly near zero!

Lu Ming’s heart was dripping blood.

Damn!

The card squandered his hard-earned money!

“Come over here!”

Lu Ming was furious. He grabbed hold of the card and gave it a round of beatings!

Scoundrel!

How could it squander his money?!

“Ah...”

Xiao-Xiaojian wailed. “Senior Qiu is isolated and without help. We must show our support for her! Besides, I-I am doing it for the development of Swordsman! Right now, the Swordsman industry is undergoing a transformation and the reformists and the conservatives are fighting. We must have enough funds to usher in a new era!

“Look!

“The Swordsman Association has gotten involved as well!

“Right now, the people on the Internet are divided into two groups and a competition is underway!

“One group is the reformists that are led by Senior Qiu. They want to develop channels so that everyone will understand and get to know what a Swordsman is and for people to join them! The other group is the conservatives led by Swordsmen who believe in legacies. They are used to the ancient method of legacies! The two groups are in a fierce competition online. I am showing my support as well!

“The victors...

“Will generate a lot of public discussion!”

With that...

Xiao-Xiaojian showed Lu Ming the screen and he saw various topics.

#I will help to boost Senior Qiu’s popularity#

#Have you helped her top the list today?#

#Does the grandmaster need us to boost popularity?#

...

Wait a minute.

Under these topics, there were peak six-star elders, cultivators who were already grandfathers with many grandchildren, getting their entire families to boost her popularity! There were also retired and laid back elders who learned to use the Internet so as to boost Senior Qiu’s popularity!

Of course.

There were also young children who were boosting Senior Qiu’s popularity, so that she could top the list!

At this moment.

Senior Qiu’s popularity had exploded!

The entire nation seemed to be boosting her popularity... 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Lu Ming took a look. The side where Swordsmen believed in legacies was suggested by a Mister Cai who was a seven-star Swordsman. Although there were fewer people in the discussion, the public opinion index was quite high!

Hottest data:

1. Swordsman Qiu Shuyi’s Reformation System, popularity index: 96 million.

2. Mister Cai’s Respect For Teachers System, popularity index: 95 million.

3. A Certain Celebrity Who Held A Game Console Upside Down, popularity index: 10 million.

...

Wait a minute.

Qiu Shuyi’s popularity index might be increasing, however the conservatives’ index was right on her heels.

“I have to help Senior Qiu boost her popularity!”

Xiao-Xiaojian said proudly.

Lu Ming turned sullen. “What does this have to do with you?”

“I am a sword spirit as well!” Xiao-Xiaojian muttered.

“Haha.”

Lu Ming sneered coldly.

Damn it. Therefore it used my money to pretend to be a tycoon?!

And...

To hell with boosting popularity!

Looking at this situation, can’t it tell what is going on?!

As a programmer, Lu Ming could tell at one glance what was going on. The card was competing with a machine! It was degrading oneself!

And...

Compared to the machine, it was boosting popularity manually. It was impossible to win!

“Huh?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.

M-machine?

This was so infuriating!

It was no wonder they had such a tough time boosting popularity!

“There is no need to compete against it.”

Lu Ming said unhappily. “Are all of you that bored?”

“Oh.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was disappointed.

Actually...

Given Senior Qiu’s popularity, she was already quite influential. Everyone could tell that she was much more widely discussed and had higher influence over the public opinion. However, seeing that the conservatives dominated the public opinion, hitting the lists, they were very unhappy and hence joined the rest to boost their popularity.

Hence...

Xiao-Xiaojian listened to Lu Ming’s advice and gave up on boosting her popularity.

“In that case...”

Lu Ming smiled faintly. “Let’s talk about the money you spent just now.”

“Huh?”

Xiao-Xiaojian knew that something was not right.

Shush!

Lights and shadow flashed.

It instantly thought of running away.

It was a pity...

Lu Ming pressed it onto the ground in one move.

“Being mischievous are you?”

Bam!

Bam!

Lu Ming took out the small leather whip and gave its soul a round of beatings. However, to his surprise, apart from screaming, Xiao-Xiaojian smiled.

Eh?

Lu Ming struck the whip but he deliberately missed Xiao-Xiaojian.

Ah—

There was a miserable cry.

Lu Ming was silent.

It did not seem to work anymore.

“Humph!”

Xiao-Xiaojian noticed that it was exposed and became smug. “I am no longer afraid of you!”

“Really?”

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and he suddenly understood.

These days, Xiaobai would do pain experiments on Xiao-Xiaojian. The card seemed to have a higher tolerance level. It seemed to have toughened up over time!

“I am not bragging!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was smug. “Ordinary attacks...”

Swoosh!

It had yet to finish its sentence when Lu Ming wrapped it in a plastic bag and threw him outside.

Such a squanderer.

Forget it.

I should leave the card to be recycled as rubbish.

Crash!

Xiao-Xiaojian was thrown into the trash.

“Lu Ming!

“Damn you!

“Let me out!

“Hurry!

“The smell of the rubbish will get through!

“Lu Ming, I was wrong!

“Hurry, let me out!

“Dad!”

Xiao-Xiaojian wailed.

To this...

Lu Ming only smiled faintly.

Hehe.

Wishful thinking!

It was useless to call him father!

Unless he locked the card up, it would not learn its lesson!

However...

Few minutes later, there were loud knocking sounds on the door. Lu Ming opened the door. An angry aunt threw the Original Card back at his door.

“Young man!

“What’s the matter with you?

“This is harmful garbage. You have to dispose of it properly!”

The aunt said angrily.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Oh.

He suddenly remembered.

According to the garbage guide, everything with energy was considered harmful garbage.

“You will be fined 200 yuan next time!”

The aunt left without any expression.

Lu Ming was speechless.

The elderly were amazing!

Well...

What should he do with it?

“Hahahaha!”

Xiao-Xiaojian laughed madly.

Hence...

Lu Ming came up with an idea.

“Xiaobai.

“Are you still short of experimental subjects?

“Oh.

“There are no more experiments?

“It’s such a pity... Xiao-Xiaojian would really like to join you...”

“Are there more subjects?

“That is great.”

Hence...

Lu Ming sent Xiao-Xiaojian to the spirit body department.

Xiao-Xiaojian was teary eyed. Its multiple attempts to resist had failed. Under Lu Ming’s domineering rule, it was still forced to go to the spirit body department...

“Haha.”

Lu Ming sneered coldly.

It really deserved a beating!

He turned away.

His heart ached at his account.

Ah...

That was his personal account!

The money he earned over the past two years was in that account!

His heart ached.

He wondered if he could get his money back... He heard that he only needed to say that his child blindly agreed to it and the online host misled his underage...

Well....

Should he give it a try?

It was a pity...

The online host was Qiu Shuyi...

Lu Ming thought about it. He felt ashamed to get the money from Senior Qiu.

Forget it.

He should treat it as an investment.

After all, Senior Qiu had taken care of his sister for so long...

Lu Ming consoled himself and continued to read his book, his heart aching at the money.

...

The spirit body department.

Xiao-Xiaojian shivered as it lay on the test bench.

It was done for!

It would be tortured again!

Why didn’t it stop itself from spending the money? Oh, that was right! It heard that Xiaobai used to dream of becoming a Swordsman! She loved Senior Qiu and Lu Yan!

In that case...

“How did you provoke Master?”

Xiaobai put on a mask.

In her hands...

She had a syringe that was filled with purple liquid ready.

The medicine was unknown.

“Wait a minute.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was anxious. “Well... I did it for the future of Swordsmen!”

“Oh?”

Xiaobai was very curious.

Swordsmens’... future?

“It really is!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was slightly relieved as it hurried to say. “Two factions within the Swordsman industry are against each other. Senior Qiu must have a hard time being caught in the middle. Therefore, we have to support her! We must increase her popularity so that she is well-known and famous! In that case, she will be able to change the future!”

“It makes sense!”

Xiaobai empathized with the card.

“Am I right?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was joyous.

Hence...

It told her what had happened just now.

Shush!

The laboratory was silent.

Buzz—

Xiao-Xiaobai silently went out and closed the door.

Xiao-Xiaojian was confused.

After a long while...

Xiaobai said in her tender voice, “Are you saying that you used up all the money in Master’s account?”

“T-there are 50 yuan left,” Xiao-Xiaojian whispered.

“Have you ever watched a television series?”

Xiaobai was very serious. “In the story, there was a very evil woman who snatched someone else’s boyfriend, spent her money and wore her clothes.”

As she spoke, she lowered the syringe in her hand and replaced it with a thicker one...

Xiao-Xiaobai was speechless.

After a long while...

A loud scream that came from the spirit body department reverberated throughout the entire association!

...

“What is that sound?”

“What else could it be but Xiao-Xiaojian.”

“Oh.”

The spirit bodies in the association yawned lazily, looked in the direction of the spirit body department and went back to cultivation or sleep...

They were used to it.

However...

This time, things seem to be different from what they thought.

After a long while...

There was a terrifying burst of lights.

The lights coming from the spirit body department swept over the entire association!

Bang!

Lights flashed.

All the spirit bodies stood up.

It seemed that...

Something had happened!!!

...

Eh?

Lu Ming who was reading was startled.

This aura...

“Xiaobai?”

Lu Ming rushed to the association right away.

“Master.”

Xiaobai was somewhat anxious. “Things are not good. Xiao-Xiaojian is dead.”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Xiao-Xiaojian was dead!

What kind of magic fantasy plot was this?!

Hence...

He went to the laboratory. The Original Card lay quietly on the test bench without any aura. What was left was the brilliance of the Original Card.

Xiao-Xiaojian was gone.

Eh?

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

Shush!

He stretched his hands to retrieve the Original Card!

Buzz—

Faint energy dissipated.

Lights were indeed flashing within the Original Card. However, gone was the feeling that it was a helpful assistant. There was a sense of heaviness...

It felt like a traditional vocation core!

“Xiao-Xiaojian?”

Lu Ming said in a low voice.

Buzz—

There were no changes in the Original Card.

“Slut?”

Lu Ming changed the way he called it but the Original Card still did not respond.

This was strange...

Lu Ming concentrated on the Original Card and entered the Sea of Consciousness. He did not find traces of Xiao-Xiaojian! This card had actually disappeared!

That was not right.

Xiao-Xiaojian was trapped in the Original Card. Even if he entered the Sea of Consciousness, the Original Card was there!

The Original Card...

Lu Ming flipped the Original Card. There were no signs of Xiao-Xiaojian.

“What did you do?”

Lu Ming asked.

“Nothing.”

Xiaobai sounded distressed. “I passed the current through the Original Card as usual to test its tolerance level. I did the same experiment last time. This should not be a problem.”

She had tried it last time.

Xiao-Xiaojian merely shivered a few times. Nothing happened to it.

“Current...”

Lu Ming looked at the video recorded just now.

Well....

The power was switched on. Xiao-Xiaojian shivered a few times and suddenly there were no more movements.

“Was it too enjoyable that it died?”

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

That should not be. It’s only possible with Wang Xuan.

Buzz—

Xiao-Xiaobai shone faintly.

“Xiao-Xiaobai said that it did not see it as well.”

Xiaobai was distressed.

In fact, she did not need Xiao-Xiaojian in her experiments.

She had given Xiao-Xiaojian a lesson as it was too much. Recently, it lied to her and Master! There were at least one hundred complaints about it everyday!

Therefore...

She used tested methods on the card. It was only to incite a small amount of pain.

The current...

From the last experimental results, it had been proven that current had no real impact on the Original Card! After all, no five-star card spirit would be electrocuted to death!

It was not logical!

If it was effective, everyone could bring an electric stick when they fought with a Sword Card Master in the future!

But...

If it was ineffective, why would Xiao-Xiaojian disappear?

Buzz—

Xiaobai was anxious. There was a strange light in her eyes as she sensed for the card. However, even so, she did not see Xiao-Xiaojian!

“Let me try.”

Lu Ming swept his energy over the Original Card.

The energy was normal!

The control was sluggish!

“This is strange.”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

Shush!

He released a card!

The Eye of Insight!

Buzz—

There was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

The world in front of Lu Ming suddenly changed to be magical. He rested his gaze on the Original Card. However, he was surprised that even so, he could not see anything.

The Original Card in front of him was pure and clean. It seemed as if Xiao-Xiaojian had never been there!

Tsk...

“I didn’t know that my Original Card used to be so pure!”

Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.

His pure Original Card had obviously been defiled by Xiao-Xiaojian!

“Master~”

Xiaobai poked Lu Ming’s waist.

That was annoying!

This was a serious matter yet her master was joking around!

She was very worried!

Xiao-Xiaojian was missing!

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Ming stroked her small head. “This card won’t run away. If it could run away, it would have done so a long time ago... Don’t forget that it used to be a bar spirit!”

“Oh.”

Xiaobai seemed to have understood a little.

Well....

Lu Ming flipped the Original Card in his hands.

Xiao-Xiaojian was very mischievous. It could withstand beatings, including the small leather whip that could lash at souls! It was fine with all kinds of beatings. It was impossible that it would die from a small current!

But right now, Xiao-Xiaojian had disappeared, leaving an ordinary Original Card behind.

“This is strange.”

Lu Ming pondered for a long while, bringing the Original Card into the Sea of Consciousness.

“Brother Cat?

“Can you see Xiao-Xiaojian?”

Lu Ming asked.

The black cat yawned lazily, resting its gaze on the Original Card. There was a strange expression in its eyes. It looked interested.

Afterward...

Bam!

A paw struck the Original Card!

Buzz—

The lightning cracks on the Original Card flashed!

...
