“The reason you can only complete half now and then run out of steam is actually very simple: your cultivation realm isn't high enough yet. Once you reach the mid or late stage of the First Rank, you should be able to complete the entire energy circuit drawing!” Lu Chenxing said with a smile.
“Really?” Guo Jiahao's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard that.
“Yes, your spiritual power and magic power are still a bit lacking right now. It’s already impressive that you can complete half the drawing.”
Compared to Lu Chenxing's 'Reproduction Art,' which doesn't waste even a trace of magic or spiritual power, he was able to complete the creation of this card in the mid-stage of the First Rank.
Without this art, there would inevitably be extra consumption during the process of drawing the energy circuit. Lu Chenxing probably wouldn't have been able to truly create this card even in the late stage of the First Rank.
The reason Little Fatty could draw half of it in the early stage of the First Rank, besides his own genius, was also his strong foundation!
As the young master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, the auxiliary cultivation items he currently uses are things others wouldn't even dare to dream of. Lu Chenxing could clearly feel that the quality and total amount of his spiritual power and magic power were far beyond what other early-stage First Rank cultivators could compare to.
Hearing Lu Chenxing's words, Guo Jiahao said somewhat dejectedly, “Ah~ How can this be? My mom told me not to advance casually and to follow the teacher's arrangements. At the current pace, it will take at least another week to advance to the mid-stage of the First Rank.”
“Don't be impatient. The card is right here and won't run away. A tall building starts from the ground up. You should listen to your mom; laying a good foundation is the most important thing.” Lu Chenxing said, genuinely envying Little Fatty.
Children from such wealthy families almost always have a long period of foundation building after awakening, to seek talent advancement!
In this world, talent can be advanced, and there is only one time when it can be done: right after awakening.
It's like a young seedling; if you nourish it with countless heavenly treasures and earthly delights, even an ordinary tree will become extraordinary.
Lu Chenxing was different; his unique talent could not be further improved. No matter how many heavenly treasures and earthly delights he used, it would be useless.
“Alright, Boss Lu, then teach me some other cards. I'll make some other cards.” Guo Jiahao was a bit frustrated because he couldn't make high-difficulty cards. After putting down the Bombardment Art card in his hand, he suddenly felt a bit idle, so he proactively asked to make some other cards.
“Of course, our shop is currently preparing to launch new cards. All the First Rank ones will be left for you to make. I'll send the information to President Long first to apply for a patent.” Lu Chenxing said, sending some documents to Long Qifeng.
This was the number Long Qifeng had given him last time, considered a private green channel.
Before long, Long Qifeng sent over various patents and copyrights, along with a message: “Cultivate diligently.”
Although there were only four characters, Lu Chenxing inexplicably felt a sense of urgency from them, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel amused and frustrated. 'You only covered my resources from the Second Rank to the Third Rank. You didn't cover what comes after, so what can I do if I don't earn money myself!'
Lu Chenxing shook his head, ignoring it, and handed the few original cards in his hand to Guo Jiahao, “These are our main products for the near future. There are white cards and blue cards, with different prices and production difficulties. You can start making them.”
“Mhm mhm!” Guo Jiahao immediately took the original cards and started making them, like a merciless card-making machine.
Seeing this, Lu Chenxing also returned to his position and began making Second Rank cards.
A moment later, a knock came from the door, and a crisp male voice called out, “Excuse me, is Boss Lu in? I'm from the military!”
As soon as he heard it was from the military, Lu Chenxing understood that his cultivation resources had arrived! So he quickly said, “I'm here! Please come in!”
A soldier in military uniform walked in, saluted Lu Chenxing, and then placed a black box down. “Everything you requested is inside. Please inspect and sign for it.”
Lu Chenxing opened the black box as instructed and took a look, finding no issues. Everything he wanted was there, so he clicked “Confirm Receipt” on his wristband.
The soldier received the task completion notification and didn't linger. He saluted again and left.
Lu Chenxing put the box of items into his storage ring, planning to start cultivating that evening, as the people he had arranged to meet were also about to arrive.
“Boss Lu, we're here!” Accompanied by a somewhat naturally dazed voice, Xiao Guo, who had visited the shop before, arrived again, still wearing that pink dress and still with a familiar smile.
Her three friends also arrived with her.
Xiao Lian, in a white dress, giggled, “Did Boss Lu specially call us here for some special favor?”
“I called you here this time because I want you to try my new cards, these special effect cards.” Lu Chenxing said with a smile, introducing them to the four and briefly explaining the effects of these cards.
Then Xiao Lian asked with some hesitation, “No combat power increase, just for looks? Will anyone really buy these cards…?”
Lu Chenxing just smiled indifferently, “It's fine. If someone buys them, that's great. If no one buys them, it doesn't matter. This is just an experiment.”
“Boss Lu, one more question.” Xiao Guo obediently raised her hand, then said, “The school doesn't allow the use of cards during assessment battles now, you know…”
As she said that, everyone present remembered that because the previous competitions were a chaotic mess, with everyone changing the world, making the school leaders' heads spin, cards were now completely forbidden.
“Oh right! I forgot if you didn't mention it!” Lu Chenxing slapped his forehead, stood up, “You all sit here for a moment, I'm going out.”
With that, he walked out on his own, leaving Xiao Guo and her three friends looking at each other, unsure whether to stay or leave.
But fortunately, Lu Chenxing didn't go out for too long and returned quickly, saying to the four, “I spoke with Director Wan Song of the Academic Affairs Office, and cards that don't affect combat power are allowed. An announcement will be issued shortly, so don't worry.”
The four were greatly shocked to hear this. In such a short time out, he got the school to change its announcement. Just who exactly was this Boss Lu? Didn't they say his parents were just ordinary professors?
Although they had many questions, they ultimately asked nothing, simply received the cards from Lu Chenxing, and then left. During this time, only Xiao Guo, the naturally dazed girl, didn't feel there was anything amiss.
Lu Chenxing stood at the shop entrance, watching the four, who had all advanced to the Second Rank, leave, and couldn't help but look forward to everyone's reaction tomorrow.
