So Lu Chenxing started writing, putting his thoughts down little by little, while also thinking about other things.
"The first-order power is like this, then for the second-order, just increase the equivalent. Hmm, this spell seems usable up to the third or fourth order, but no higher. After all, the temperature is only over two thousand degrees. I'll make some other cards then..."
On the other side, after the person in charge closed the door with a smile, he immediately ran frantically towards the Card Maker Association President's office!
Without knocking, he pushed the door open and shrieked, "President Long! This is bad!!!"
The white-robed old man inside the door was not surprised by his direct entry; after all, he could feel his excited heartbeat from a long distance away. He calmly asked, "Don't rush, what happened?"
This white-robed old man had white hair and beard, and a kindly face. He was precisely the President of the Card Maker Association, Long Qifeng, who had been browsing forums in his office yesterday!
"The first-order limit card testing area was blown up!"
"Hmm? Didn't I say not to test second-order cards there? Which little rascal caused trouble again?!" Long Qifeng's face instantly darkened upon hearing this.
"It wasn't a second-order one, it was a first-order one..." The person in charge then recounted the entire incident from beginning to end. As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qifeng immediately stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, let's take a look!"
A new card, a limit card, with at least mid-second-order power—was it a coincidence? Or was it yesterday's "Tourist 114514"?
Long Qifeng believed there weren't so many coincidences in this world. If he wasn't mistaken, this person should be yesterday's "Tourist 114514"!
But what he hadn't expected was that this person was so young, only 18 years old, and his strength was only mid-first-order!
What was this? This was a monster! A Card Making monster!
At this moment, Lu Chenxing, who had finished writing the entire spell principle in the office, was sitting there somewhat bored, waiting. He also started researching other spells. While he was researching, the door was pushed open, and Long Qifeng, dressed in white robes, walked in.
The moment he saw Lu Chenxing, he extended his hand and smiled, "I am Long Qifeng, President of the Loshen City Card Maker Association. A pleasure to meet you!"
Seeing this, Lu Chenxing quickly stood up and shook hands with Long Qifeng. "Hello, President Long, my name is Lu Chenxing. You can just call me Little Lu."
Long Qifeng did not decline, as his strength and status were evident, and he was also the elder. "Then I won't be polite, Little Lu. Could you show me your spell principle and the original card?"
"Oh, sure!" Lu Chenxing immediately nodded and handed over the written spell principle and the original card.
Seeing his straightforwardness, Long Qifeng was somewhat taken aback. "You're just giving it to me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll secretly learn it?"
"You're joking, with your strength and status, this kind of first-order card is probably not even worth mentioning in your eyes," Lu Chenxing said with a smile.
He could roughly guess that President Long was probably just curious, which was why he came to see it. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be noticed by him, as he was just a small fry right now.
Lu Chenxing's frank and direct words, along with his neither humble nor arrogant attitude, earned him a bit of goodwill from Long Qifeng.
After all, many of the younger generation nowadays were very arrogant. If they produced such an original limit card, even if it was only first-order, their tails would be wagging to the sky!
But the Lu Chenxing in front of him was very steady, even with a hint of detachment within his steadiness.
Long Qifeng did not inquire into other people's habits. He just took the paper Lu Chenxing handed him and started reading it. It was less than half a page, but he read it for a very long time.
After he finished reading, he looked at the energy circuit on the back of the original card without changing his expression, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, he is that Tourist 114514."
He then returned the original card to him, handed the paper with the spell principle to the person in charge, and instructed, "Go apply for the patent, and do it quickly."
"Yes!" The person in charge took it and turned to leave.
When the door closed, Long Qifeng looked at Lu Chenxing and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, your set of spell principles should be an entirely new knowledge system, correct?"
"Yes." Lu Chenxing nodded. He wasn't afraid of Long Qifeng or others finding out, because the knowledge of each profession formed its own system. These were all ways of understanding the world, and nothing strange.
"No wonder. I even saw some shadows of alchemy in it, but not many." Long Qifeng nodded, then added, "Your knowledge system seems to be very good at these mixed-type spells. Overcoming the strong with the weak and large area of effect are its advantages, but the operation is complicated and the card making difficulty is high."
Lu Chenxing smiled and nodded, saying, "President Long has keen insight!"
After a moment of thought, Long Qifeng then asked, "What are your plans for this card afterwards?"
It was Lu Chenxing's turn to be slightly stunned. "I plan to make cards and then sell them..."
"But this card of yours doesn't seem suitable for selling to ordinary people, because its destructive power seems to be indiscriminate towards friend or foe... Instead of selling it to ordinary people, I think it's more suitable for selling to the military, what do you think?"
Long Qifeng's words were very clear: he was suggesting that Lu Chenxing sell the patent and finished products of this card to the military. After all, the military was engaged in fighting against exotic beasts, and such a high-power, large-range, low-consumption item was perfect for them.
And saying it wasn't suitable for ordinary people was actually out of fear of causing trouble, which was a small piece of advice to him.
Lu Chenxing had no objection to this suggestion; in fact, he was somewhat overjoyed. Because if he could establish a long-term friendly relationship with the military, it would also be more convenient to inquire about his parents' whereabouts. Agreeing at this time would also give Long Qifeng face, so why not?
So he said, "I have no objection. For me, it's the same who I sell it to, but I don't know anyone in the military..."
As he spoke, Lu Chenxing looked up at Long Qifeng, his meaning clear: "You made the suggestion, so it's up to you!"
Because he indeed didn't know anyone in the military. The last time the parents' belongings were delivered, it was by soldiers from the front line, but they didn't leave a phone number. They just notified him and left, as there were many other families to notify.
Seeing this, Long Qifeng smiled and said, "No problem, I have contacts here. Do you still have 'Explosion Spell' cards? Leave two with me, I'll buy them at market price, five thousand each!"
"Of course!"
When Lu Chenxing walked out of the Card Maker Association, he held a stack of documents, and a five-pointed star had appeared inside the blank circle below the Card Maker badge on his chest.
But as soon as he stepped out, he heard a voice say, "Big Brother, wait a moment!"
Lu Chenxing looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was the Little Fatty from before. He then raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Big Brother! I want to acknowledge you as my big brother! Will you teach me Card Making?!" Little Fatty looked at Lu Chenxing with admiration, almost treating him as an idol!
