Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming focused his gaze on the card in his hands.
Among the three major vocations, he was the least worried about the Card Creators Association!
He believed that in the current public opinion environment and with the 'inspiration' of the cute Card Creators, they would definitely be able to go all out.
By then …
Hehe.
Right now …
He should let the disciples work harder …
However …
When Lu Ming looked at the disciples of the association, he was shocked to discover that the hardworking disciples were actually playing with their communication devices at this time …
？？？
What was happening?
Some unknown internet celebrity was having an affair again?
Something was not right.
Even if the disciples were to watch the news, they would not watch it at this time.
Hence …
Lu Ming instinctively switched on his communication device and scrolled through the trending topics …
It was very normal.
XXX brought XXX to XXX to play.
XXX's short skirt was lovable.
XXX's host was calm and generous. She had improved.
…
"There's nothing strange about it."
Lu Ming muttered.
The timing was just right.
At this time, Li Haoran came in to report.
"Haoran."
"Yes."
Li Haoran responded in a low voice.
"What are the disciples doing?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Snatching tickets."
Li Haoran instinctively said.
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
？？？
Snatching tickets?
It turned out that there was a need to snatch tickets in this world??
"Well …"
Li Haoran smiled wryly. "You know that disciples can usually travel by themselves for short distances, but for long distances … especially many disciples come from the south …"
"Isn't there a Teleportation Nexus?"
Lu Ming was even more puzzled.
Snatching tickets? Wasn't the Teleportation Nexus more useful?
"That's right."
Li Haoran nodded. "We have to snatch the teleportation tickets as well."
"Huh?"
Lu Ming was in a trance.
Teleportation Nexus …
So they also want tickets?
"Cough."
Li Haoran coughed. "You don't know how many people there are during the New Year. Not to mention the Teleportation Portal, even the number of Swordsman tickets is seriously over the limit …"
"Even the Formation Master Association can't handle it."
"So …"
"I can only sell them in limited quantities."
Li Haoran felt helpless.
"Can't they build a few more?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Sure."
Li Haoran said, "However, the current Teleportation Array can already meet the daily needs. If we build it according to the standard of a hundred times the flow during the New Year …"
"After the new year, the Formation Master Association will close down."
"What about the maintenance of the massive amount of teleportation arrays?"
"What about the operations?"
Li Haoran smiled bitterly.
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
Oh.
Understood.
Just like a train …
→_→
The construction of an array formation was similar to that of a train. It wasn't like you could build a batch during the Spring Festival and throw it away when you didn't use it. When the time came, there would be a lot of empty cars …
Just the operation and maintenance costs were astronomical!
In his previous life, the country had put in a lot of effort for this.
However …
For now …
There was no solution.
There were always people who couldn't go home.
Therefore …
Even the disciples of the Sword Card Master Association began to fight for the tickets.
"It's not easy."
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
Go home …
Heh.
It was good to have a home to return to.
He reckoned that he did not need it anymore.
His sister was accompanying Senior Qiu in the extreme north. His parents were guarding the sea region. Lu Ming most likely stayed in Tian Du City for the new year.
"Haoran."
"Yes."
"Use the funds of the association to buy tickets for the disciples. If the train tickets don't work, use the plane tickets. If the plane tickets don't work, use the array tickets. If the array tickets don't work, use the Swordsman tickets.
We have to let them go home, "Lu Ming said lightly.
"Yes."
Li Haoran felt warmth in his heart.
Master …
He was still so kind.
The array tickets and Swordsman tickets were never cheap …
At this very moment …
Suddenly …
The official Glory Grand Ceremony sent a message — The Glory Grand Ceremony would officially begin tomorrow. The first award that they would compete for was the Best Lifestyle Vocation Award!
Rule Restriction: The two associations will choose a product to compete against each other. The winner will be able to accumulate wins.
Grand Prize: The one with the most wins would be the only winner.
Victory Judgment: The product with the most points would win.
Advantages included but were not limited to: price discount + 1 point, wide demand + 1 point, easy production + 1 point, high profit index + 1 point and so on.
The details were as follows: …
…
Wow —
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.
The rules …
"It's changed!"
"Everything has changed!"
"That's right. I remember that in the past, it was the sum of all the products. This year, it's actually a duel …"
Everyone exclaimed.
One had to know …
In the past, this was not just a test of the output of a single product. It was a test of the entire association and the branches around the world!
But this year …
A single product?
What did this mean? To select this year's single product?
"That's not all.
"The rules state in detail that the competition is a duel between two products. However, it did not state that one has to choose one product to win!
"This means …
"As long as you are more outstanding than your opponent."
Some people could see through it.
"What does the higher-ups mean?"
"It means that you can use one product to conquer the world. You can also use various targeted products to defeat your opponent. It's more flexible than before."
"No, I mean, why did the higher-ups make such a change?"
"I don't know."
Everyone was puzzled.
However …
When the three most popular candidates for the strongest lifestyle vocation appeared …
Everyone was shocked.
— —
Candidate for first place: Array Master Association
Candidate for second place: Card Creators Association
Candidate for third place: Sharpshooter Association
— —
？？？
Everyone was shocked.
They knew about the Card Creators Association and the Sharpshooter Association. However, the Array Master Association was just a bystander. What right did they have to be ranked first …
Wait a minute.
They pondered carefully and suddenly understood.
It was the Lunar New Year …
They had to go home!
The array ticket …
Ss — —
Everyone gasped a breath of cold air. It was no wonder they made such a change. This was obviously tailored for the Array Master! This was the real killer!!!
Array ticket!
True enough.
The rules were announced.
Within half an hour, the Array Master Association announced that the price of the array ticket would be reduced!
Everyone's heart trembled.
It seemed that …
The Array Master Association was determined to win this award!!!
…
At this very moment …
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming was speechless when he saw the results.
Fine.
The confrontation between him and the Card Creators Association …
The results were out.
The biggest beneficiary — Array Master Association.
Array ticket!
This was the biggest gain of the Array Master Association!
Under normal circumstances, they were not qualified to compete with the Card Creators Association with just the array ticket. However, with the introduction of this rule, the array ticket surpassed everyone else …
No one could stop them!!!
"I forgot about this."
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
It was the Spring Festival.
He understood now.
It was no wonder that the rules were changed so smoothly. When the big shots of the Array Master Association and the Card Creators Association took action at the same time …
There was no suspense!
What was the goal of the Card Creators Association?
They wanted to defeat Lu Ming.
They did not care if they lost or won.
After all, the Card Creators Association had won too many of these awards. It was not a big deal for them to lose it once in a while.
What about the Array Master Association?
They had never won it!
Every year.
Every year.
Therefore …
They could not wait to prove themselves!
Afterward …
The opportunity was here.
"Phew —"
Lu Ming took a deep breath.
In the end …
He had underestimated the big shots.
Lu Ming guessed that the Array Master Association and the Card Creators Association might have old acquaintances. They discussed with each other and it was settled.
Of course.
If that was the case, it was fine.
At this moment.
A familiar video call came in. Lu Ming looked at the 'Card Creators Association' on the screen and paused for a moment before picking up the call.
On the other side.
It was a middle-aged man.
He had a Mediterranean hairstyle.
He had a dignified and arrogant expression.
Well …
"Lu Ming?"
The person on the other side spoke.
"That's me."
Lu Ming sighed.
He did not understand why the middle-aged and old people preferred video calls.
Wasn't it good to make a phone call?!
According to rumors, the most popular way to make a phone call was to send a video call … He did not know why …
Possibly.
The preference of the middle-aged and old people?
"Hello.
I'm the team leader of the Card Creators Association team that will participate in the Glory Grand Ceremony. "
A deep baritone voice could be heard from the other side.
"Hello."
Lu Ming showed some respect.
After all …
Look at his hairline …
He was either a programmer or a grandmaster.
"Have you read the rules?"
"Yes."
"Do you understand?"
The voice on the other side sounded a little strange.
"Understood."
Lu Ming was helpless.
Fine.
The big shot was here to show off.
"Hahahahaha!"
The other side suddenly laughed maniacally. "I can't sleep well these two days because of you. I haven't slept well for a few days …
"We thought of this good idea. Hahahahaha … You'd better think about how you won't be tortured too badly. Hahahahaha."
The big shot felt very comfortable.
It was true.
He really could not sleep well these few days.
That damn article made him feel as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. Fortunately, it was finally resolved.
Snort!
Playing tricks with them?
He was still too inexperienced.
"…"
Lu Ming pursed his lips.
This big shot seemed to be very mischievous.
"Hahaha.
Sorry. "
The big shot held back his laughter. "It's just that when I think of you, I …"
"Oh oh oh oh?"
Lu Ming interrupted.
“？？？”
The big shot was suddenly stunned. What did he mean by 'oh oh oh oh'?
Was that a rooster's crowing?!
Lu Ming was actually mocking him for crowing?!
However, he did not care at all. Now that he had the upper hand, he naturally had to have the upper hand.
"Lu Ming.
"If it really doesn't work …
"You can come to the Card Creators Association."
The big shot laughed heartily. "The headquarters welcomes you. Our headquarters likes outstanding young people like you. Hahahahaha."
Lu Ming was speechless.
As if he would believe you.
If I really go to your association, I will tear down your headquarters!
Snort!
However …
Speaking of this …
Lu Ming suddenly squinted his eyes. "Senior, you are right. Since you are so outstanding, I will give up."
"Huh?"
The big shot's laughter suddenly stopped. It was as if a quacking duck had suddenly stuffed a stick into its mouth.
"What …
"Give up?"
The big shot was dumbstruck.
"We won't participate."
Lu Ming sighed. "Anyway, we are just here to join in the fun. Hey, the Array Masters Association is so awesome. We can just give up. It's not considered embarrassing."
"Huh?"
The big shot was completely dumbstruck.
It was true.
Give up?!
To hell with it!
They had worked so hard to change the rules and owe favors. What was the purpose of giving up the award?
To defeat Lu Ming!
To defeat Lu Ming to prove themselves!
To prove that the Card Creators Association was really powerful!
If Lu Ming were to give up …
What was the point of them doing all this?!
To hell with it!
"Lu Ming."
The big shot was somewhat flustered. "Y-you won't really give up, right?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
He hid his achievements and fame.
Opposite him.
The big shot looked at the call that was suddenly hung up and panicked. What did Lu Ming's last sentence mean?!
To hell with it.
He suddenly felt like slapping himself.
Why did I make this call?
I was done for.
Lu Ming made me unable to sleep well today …
…
At this very moment …
Lu Ming hung up the call, feeling at ease.
True enough.
Making others unhappy was the source of his pleasure.
It was true.
"Are you really giving up?"
Xiao-Xiaojian was curious.
"How is that possible?"
Lu Ming sneered coldly. I'll just do it!!!
What's there to be afraid of?
"Then just now you …"
Xiao-Xiaojian rolled its eyes.
You've already learned how to grow but you're still so unreliable.
"This is called being too quick with words."
Lu Ming mocked himself.
"Being too quick with words …"
Xiao-Xiaojian memorized this phrase.
It was very familiar …
It had a feeling that it had heard it somewhere before.
Ah …
It remembered now …
In the book that Xiao-Xiaohu got it the last time … However, it remembered that this phrase was used in bed. Therefore, Lu Ming …
Had a taste for this?
Ss — —
Xiao-Xiaojian felt that it was better to stay away from this guy.
Hence …
It hid quietly.
Lu Ming was speechless.
What the hell is this? It just popped up and ran away …
Forget it.
The Glory Grand Ceremony was more important.
Well …
With the appearance of the rules, Lu Ming began to make all his preparations.
The most powerful lifestyle vocation was slightly better. It was considered the simplest award. There would be no battles. The final outcome would be decided based on the big shots' expert evaluation.
Therefore …
It was most important to choose a good product.
Lu Ming took a glance. There were about thirty or so associations that were candidates for this award.
Of course.
If he was not surprised …
Most of them were just bystanders like Lu Ming and the group.
After all …
There was no loss in signing up.
They would simply submit a product to join in the fun, to refresh their reputation and increase their exposure. That was all … As for the award …
There was no escape.
In the past, they would be selected together. A certain product might become an instant hit.
This year …
There was no hope.
It would be a duel.
This meant that the one who could fight till the end would definitely be the most powerful lifestyle vocation!
There was no other!
Therefore …
It must be one of the three associations that had fallen.
The Card Creators Association …
Lu Ming glanced at them.
What could he use to fight with them?
Flower Burial Card?
Although this item had a high profit margin, as a card with Six Stars and above, its popularity was too low. The final score might be very low as well!
Therefore —
It was not reliable.
Especially when the Card Creators Association was full of confidence.
Therefore, if he wanted to fight with the Card Creators Association, he had to choose a product that they had never heard of and was very outstanding!
"It's a little difficult."
Lu Ming took a deep breath.
Although he was happy to go against the big shots of the Card Creators Association, Lu Ming no longer dared to belittle this global Card Creators Association!
Compared to other associations, they might be better at playing along.
But when faced with the Sword Card Master Association …
They would definitely do their best!
Therefore …
This battle was very difficult.
Afterward …
It was the Array Masters Association!
It was also the biggest beneficiary of this year's new rules. It was in time for the Chinese New Year. They would rather reduce their profits and operate at a loss to win a big prize!
Array tickets …
Think about the cost.
Think about the profits.
Think about the popularity.
It might be very difficult to fight with them.
In the end …
It was the Sharpshooter Association!
This was an association that profited from the consumption of various arrows. Their perfect internal circulation resulted in a huge flow of products. Especially —
Basic arrows.
Almost everyone knew how to create them!
It was similar to the Energy Card of a Card Creator — but the consumption was higher.
This was because every Sharpshooter had to shoot countless arrows every day and a Card Creator's Energy Card was usually used for emergencies. Therefore …
This was still a big killing weapon.
It would be difficult to fight with them head-on.
"My head hurts."
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
Things …
It was much more serious than he had imagined.
The big shots of the Card Creators Association deliberately adjusted the lifestyle vocation prize to the first one so that Lu Ming would not have any time to prepare!!
However …
If he were to compare the comprehensive products …
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a long time. Advantage in points?
Perhaps …
He could use Tian Ji's horse racing method?
After all …
There was no rule that stated that he had to come up with the same product every time!!!
If that was the case …
Shush!
Shush!
Lu Ming quickly scanned through the array tickets, arrows and the cards that might appear in the Card Creators Association. He suddenly had an idea. Perhaps …
He could give it a try!
…
