Dancing with the Rising Sun

Chapter 196 - 148: Breakthrough Xuanxiao! The Challenge Begins!


"It's not actually that hard."


Jiang Yuan shook his head: "It mainly depends on what your profession is. I can select the type of card based on your profession."


"Oh, speaking of which, I'm a melee Swordsman, surprising isn't it?" Hu Qingwei said with a smile, looking at Jiang Yuan.


After all, no one would expect such a delicate woman to be in a close combat profession.


But Jiang Yuan didn't care.


"Then you have to consider whether you want a Skill Card that isolates Flames, or one that allows you to move quickly through Flames to approach the opponent?"


"A Flames isolation one, I already have a Displacement Skill, so I don't need that."


Hu Qingwei thought for a moment, then decisively made her choice.


Her decisiveness did surprise Jiang Yuan somewhat.


"Okay, how about the payment?"


"It depends on how effective your card is? If it's good, I won't skimp on the payment—you can name your price."


Hu Qingwei smiled faintly, how much could a blue-quality card be worth? Do I have enough Mid-Grade Star Spirit Stones?


As a small wealthy lady, she had that kind of confidence.


"Alright, no problem."


Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened, he nodded and immediately agreed, he liked clients who settled payments decisively.


Speaking of which, should I consider selling Linglong Tower too?


There's been talk about selling Linglong Tower for a while, but it has yet to launch.


Hmm, decided, I'll put Linglong Tower on sale once I get back.


And see if there are others who need any other type of Skill Card?


72 Transformations are still pretty useful.


Turn it into a One-time Skill Card.


Nice!


This way, I can keep milking it.


"Since that's the case, I'll go back to card making. I'll message you in a couple of days; let's exchange contact information."


Jiang Yuan said, taking out his phone. After adding Hu Qingwei as a contact, he turned and left.


"Do you think he can do it?"


Watching Jiang Yuan's retreating figure, Hu Qingwei turned and asked Tong Yuchang beside her.


"If you didn't expect anything from him, you wouldn't have sought him out, right?" Tong Yuchang chuckled, noncommittal.


"If he passes the test, he can join us."


"If he doesn't pass, with his ability to create Summoning Cards, he will join us sooner or later," Tong Yuchang said expressionlessly.


"That being the case, isn't our test this time meaningless?"


Hu Qingwei turned her head, her eyes smiling as she looked at Tong Yuchang beside her.


But Tong Yuchang completely ignored her.


This woman's thoughts were too heavy; it's better to have as little contact as possible.


"Don't be so cautious, after all, we're not some evil organization. We're just a mutual aid association for Card Makers."


After patting Tong Yuchang on the shoulder with a smile, Hu Qingwei turned back and sat down on the sofa.


The message was clear, it was time for him to leave.


Tong Yuchang naturally understood her meaning and turned to leave directly.


It sounds nice that it's not an evil organization, just a mutual aid group of Card Makers.


But who knows what you'll end up doing.


Under the intricate web of relationships, is it really just a mutual aid group?


Tong Yuchang left with an expressionless face.


He didn't know if pulling Jiang Yuan into this was the right choice.


Or it couldn't be called pulling into something, as their current behavior wasn't that of an evil organization.


Besides, whether or not Jiang Yuan joins is another matter.


Jiang Yuan didn't know any of this.


Once he got home, he was ready to start card making.


Of course, the first thing was to call Shi Ji and ask what her reply on the official website meant and what she was planning to do.


"Yuan, long time no see~"


With the blue glow of the card, Shi Ji appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.


Shi Ji's eyes curved into a smile as she greeted Jiang Yuan cheerfully.


"Stop it, I called you out to ask what those responses you made on the official website mean. What are you trying to do?"


Gently flicking away Shi Ji's hand that was attempting to touch his hair, Jiang Yuan asked.


"Such a killjoy!"


Shi Ji sighed lightly and spoke, "Didn't you say you were out of money? Fight him and you'll have money."


Shi Ji looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile: "You don't think we can't beat him, do you?"


"Of course not, he's just at an early Xuanxiao stage."


Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "By the time he gathers resources, I might have already advanced."


"How could he beat us then, in a match of early Xuanxiao level?"


"So why wouldn't we accept such a big bunch of Cultivation Resources?"


"I just feel it's a bit of a waste of time."


"But what if it's scheduled after your breakthrough?"


Shi Ji tilted her head, her smile beaming as she looked at Jiang Yuan.


"What do you mean?"


"He's ranked over seven hundred among second-year students. If you defeat him, once you ascend to the second year, you'll directly take over his ranking position."


"Eh, why?"


Jiang Yuan was startled and looked at Shi Ji somewhat puzzled.


Is there some kind of rule in there?


"Do you even know whether you're a student or am I the student?"


"You don't even bother to read the student manual properly."


Shi Ji shook her head slightly: "It has been clearly stated in the player's handbook. If a first-year defeats a second-year, then upon advancing to the second year, the first-year will directly replace the defeated's rank."


"That's to say, after Yuan's upcoming breakthrough, the sooner I can fight, the better."
