The next day.
Early morning.
A new day begins.
The popularity of the Glory Grand Ceremony was still at its peak.
Apart from today's Strongest Defense Competition, the promotion for the Strongest Life Profession Awards was also fully launched.
Almost everyone who paid attention to life professions knew about this.
So …
The strongest vocation this year was actually a small and unknown association — Sword Card Master Association! This was the small association that defeated the Card Creators Association!
At this moment.
The Sword Card Master Association had finally stepped out of Tian Du City and entered the attention of all the cultivators in the world.
Of course.
It was merely an understanding.
Those who signed up were still cultivators near Tian Du City.
This was because the Sword Card Master Association only had one branch in Tian Du City. If people from other places wanted to sign up, they might have to leave their hometown …
The price was too high!
Therefore …
The number of people signing up was still within a controllable range.
However …
Even so.
The Sword Card Master Association was very busy.
They really didn't have time to pay attention to the Glory Association's other awards …
Right then.
Sword Card Master Association.
Zhou Yun was reporting to Lu Ming about the latest work progress.
The number of applicants was off the charts!
The number of geniuses was off the charts!
There were also many good-looking cultivators!
Although he didn't reach the standard of a peerless genius like his master who was handsome, talented, and young, he could barely be considered to have passed.
Hmm …
One standard unit.
This was the newest unit that the Auditing Department used to evaluate disciples.
They evaluated them based on the results of all the disciples last year. Although one of the disciples was not the most outstanding, he was the most active. His data was the most quantitative and easy to handle.
This disciple …
Her name was Ye Liangfei.
Therefore …
This was how their disciples were evaluated.
Examiner 1 — — Zhang San, score: 0.8 Ye Liangfei, fail.
Examiner 2 – Li Si, score: 0.5 Ye Liangfei, fail.
Examinee 3: Wang Wu, score: 1.2 Ye Liangfei, pass.
And so on.
In that case …
The review process would be much faster.
Just as Master had said, there were many departments in the Sword Card Master Association now. They did not need to look at one's talent. They needed to test one's comprehensive ability!
"A lot of people applied?"
Lu Ming smiled.
"Yes!"
Zhou Yun was excited. "It's already full."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ming sighed.
"It's okay."
Zhou Yun was still very excited. "We watched the association grow from a small place to the scale it is today. I can't be happier."
"That's good."
Lu Ming felt gratified.
The disciples were very passionate.
After a long while …
Zhou Yun left.
A head popped out from the door. "President, you called for me …"
"Scram!"
Lu Ming's face darkened.
"Oh."
Ye Liangfei quietly closed the door to the president's office.
He fell into deep thought.
As expected …
Did it relapse again?
Wu wu wu …
I haven't been hallucinating in a long time …
It had only happened once yesterday.
Hence …
He looked at his right hand hatefully. Who asked you to be so disobedient! Who asked you to be so unrestrained?
The passing disciples:???
What?
Senior Brother Ye can fight with my right hand?
…
At this very moment …
Somewhere in the association.
The white-clothed youth hugged the blanket and cried.
The young man in red who had just returned:???
"What happened to him?"
He looked at the black-robed youth beside him.
"Peeking again."
The youth in black was as calm as water.
He was already used to this kind of daily routine.
Every time Zhou Yun went to the president's office, the white-clothed youth would be worried and insist on eavesdropping. Afterward … Master's office was blocked and he could only eavesdrop on a few keywords …
In the end …
That was it.
Why did he have to do that …
"Brother."
The teenager in red went forward to console him. "This is not a good habit. You have to learn to let go … Men have their own backbone to be charming!
"Look at the president. When did he lose his dignity?
"How many girls are chasing after him?"
The teenager in red said proudly.
"…"
The teenager in white gradually stopped crying.
It seemed …
That made sense.
Men had to have a backbone! They had to have dignity!
Perhaps …
It was time to change.
However …
He glanced at the teenager in red. "Aren't you at Moon Shadow Island?"
"Yes."
The teenager in red smiled. "It's almost the Lunar New Year. I was thinking of getting some gifts for Miss Xiao Qing and coming over to buy some things."
"What do you think …
"How about cosmetics?
"Why don't I stop work and make one? I've been studying paper cranes recently. If I draw thirty-five thousand of them, I might be able to move Miss Xiao Qing's heart …"
The teenager in red was in a dream.
The teenager in black was speechless.
The teenager in white was speechless.
After a long while …
He cried out and went back to crying.
To hell with your chicken soup!
To hell with your backbone!
Wu wu wu …
"Didn't we agree just now?"
The teenager in red was puzzled.
After a long while …
He shook his head.
"Sigh.
"You youngsters …
"You really don't have any backbone."
With that …
He drifted away, seemingly muttering, "Heh, paper cranes it is. Miss Xiao Qing will definitely like them …"
The teenager in black was speechless.
…
"Master, are we really not going to participate in the competition?"
Li Haoran still felt a little regretful.
"Which one?"
Lu Ming said unhappily.
The competition schedule for the Glory Grand Ceremony was out.
Which one could they participate in?!
"Uh …"
Li Haoran pondered for a moment and took out the competition schedule, saying weakly, "This vocation with the strongest hardness …"
What was the strongest hardness?
Of course, it referred to the vocation core.
This was a pure competition. It was a competition of the hardness of the vocation core!!!
If it was hard enough, one would win the prize!
Li Haoran felt that the Original Card of the Sword Card Master Association was actually quite strong …
Especially —
Master!
For example, he had a duel with his master in the past.
He remembered it very clearly.
It was that day.
His master slammed into him hard and cracked his Original Card … It was only from that day onwards that he realized that his master was actually that tough!
It would be a waste not to participate in such a hard competition!
"…"
Lu Ming sighed.
After a long while …
His tone was gloomy. "Haoran, you are too arrogant …"
"Huh?"
Li Haoran was puzzled.
"Our Original Cards are hard because we are compared to Card Creators."
Lu Ming felt very helpless. "It is true that our Original Cards are harder than Card Creators. However, compared to those graduates who switched to vocation cores, we are still lacking."
"Is that so?"
Li Haoran was skeptical.
They once fought with Swordsman and were not at a disadvantage!
Their Original Cards were sharp!
Powerful!
Sturdy!
If they were in the same realm, they would definitely not be weaker than any vocation!
"Wait a minute."
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
This would not do.
The Sword Card Master Association was developing very well. They had comprehensive advantages and were developing in a balanced manner. They constantly had the characteristics of the major associations and were constantly improving!
However …
The Sword Card Master Association was not omnipotent!
Lu Ming was very clear about this.
They were comprehensive, balanced and had no weaknesses. That was why they were powerful!
But now?
Due to the glory award and the recent glory, all the disciples of the association were so arrogant that they thought that the Sword Card Master Association could win by relying on hardness!!
Why didn't they rely on length?
→_→
These …
They were not on the right path!
Especially —
Li Haoran, the dignified acting president, thought so too.
"Oh …
"Do all the disciples think so?"
Lu Ming suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Li Haoran was very proud.
"…"
Lu Ming felt that perhaps it was necessary to give the disciples a blow.
As a qualified president, he had to inform the disciples when they were lacking in confidence and calm them down when they were full of themselves.
Hence …
He pondered deeply for a moment and gave Li Haoran a name card.
"Do you really think that you are very strong?
"In that case …
"Go and try it out with her."
Lu Ming was very calm.
"Oh?"
Li Haoran opened it. There was only one contact number.
It was actually a female.
It seemed …
Her surname was Qiao.
…
Hence …
Li Haoran went to the venue.
That lady was participating in the glory ceremony and was at the venue. Therefore, Li Haoran went to look for her and issued a challenge to her.
Moments later.
He returned quietly.
"Master, I'm sorry."
Li Haoran felt very ashamed.
"Did you lose?"
Lu Ming was very calm.
"I'm sorry."
Li Haoran lowered his head.
He lost.
It was very thorough.
That lady laid the vocation core on the ground and allowed him to create it. He used all his means but did not leave any marks on that small shield …
Shield Cultivator.
True enough, they had a well-deserved reputation.
On the contrary, there were many signs of wear and tear on his Original Card …
At this very moment …
He finally understood what his master meant.
"Are they the strongest vocation?"
Li Haoran surrendered.
"No, they are not."
Lu Ming said calmly, "They have never won the championship. Last year was the closest but they still lost."
"They lost?"
Li Haoran was in disbelief.
That Shield Cultivator …
Miss Qiao …
They actually lost?!
"What about the champion in the past years …"
Li Haoran asked.
"Ding Xiu."
Lu Ming sighed.
"…"
Li Haoran was silent.
He suddenly felt somewhat disappointed.
It was true.
It turned out that …
They could not compete with any of them?
The Original Card that he thought was the strongest was not enough in front of the Shield Cultivator. Furthermore, the Shield Cultivator had never won the championship before. Think of those powerful vocations …
In that case …
Sword Card Master Association …
Li Haoran was puzzled.
He had fallen from the peak of the strongest vocation to the bottom. He was somewhat worried about his gains and losses.
To this …
Lu Ming merely smiled faintly. "Haoran."
"Yes."
Li Haoran came to his senses.
"You have to know that there is no such thing as a perfect vocation in this world."
Lu Ming said calmly, "The perfect vocation that you want does not exist. It is impossible for any vocation to defeat others in the vocation field that they have switched to."
The reason was very simple.
Why did a programmer have to compete with a sports student in a long-distance race …
Wasn't this courting death?
Even if someone was talented and could surpass them, it was meaningless, right?
Wasn't it better to burn CDs?
Of course.
It was the same the other way around.
Why did a sports student like him have to participate in a programming competition …
Why did he have to do that?
He could not become Teacher Saitama even if he lost all his hair by typing on the keyboard!
"Then what is the meaning of our existence?"
Li Haoran was puzzled.
"Comprehensive."
Lu Ming was very calm.
"Swordsman gets 10 points when it comes to attacking. However, Swordsman might only get five to six points in other aspects. They might even fail and get two to three points. For example, group combat, auxiliary, daily life, and part-time jobs. Palace manicures and circumcision are not enough for Swordsman to earn more resources.
"Shield Cultivator gets 10 points when it comes to defense. However, other aspects are very low. Their attacking ability is … weak. Their individual abilities, daily life, and auxiliary skills are average.
"Sharpshooter gets 10 points when it comes to shooting range. However, other aspects …
"You know this even if I don't tell you.
"Things like that.
"Every vocation has its own strengths and weaknesses. As for the Sword Card Master Association, we might not be able to surpass them!
"But …
"Each of our attributes gets 9 points!
"Attack, 9 points. Defense, auxiliary, daily life … etc.
"We don't have any obvious weaknesses.
"We can also use cards to assist ourselves.
"Well …
"Now tell me, who is stronger?"
Lu Ming asked softly.
Bang!
Li Haoran trembled all over.
Who is stronger?
Was there a need to ask?!
Of course, it was the Sword Card Master Association!
It was an association that excelled in all aspects and had the strongest comprehensive ability!
"I understand now."
Li Haoran was shocked.
He knew that Master was telling him this to give him some pointers.
As the dignified acting president of the Sword Card Master Association, he actually failed to figure out the direction of the development of the association and the characteristics of the vocation. This was his mistake.
"I won't make the same mistake in the future."
Li Haoran looked solemn.
Hence …
He reorganized his conversation with Master and wrote it into a document. He wanted every disciple to understand this.
Right then.
Zhou Yun came to the door again.
Because …
She discovered some problems.
"Master, look at this."
Zhou Yun's expression was grave.
"Oh?"
Lu Ming felt strange as he looked at the name list that Zhou Yun had submitted.
This number …
One had to know …
The Sword Card Master Association had always taken the path of an elite. The association had never had a lousy member. Even the Card Creators that they recruited from Tian Du City previously!
The lowest number was 1.08 Ye Liangfei!
What kind of person was Ye Liangfei?
He was an outstanding disciple of the First College.
Furthermore, he was a genius in the standard sense.
At the very least, he was equivalent to the Wudaokou College in his previous life!
Therefore, the number of people in the Sword Card Master Association had always been very small. Besides the previous batch of people recruited by the Card Creators branch, there were not many core members in the association!
And this time …
There were actually thousands of disciples who met the requirements!
This number …
It was comparable to the enrollment of the First College!!!
？？？
This number was not right!
The First College was not restricted to any area!
But here …
None of the disciples who signed up were from other places. Almost all of them were from Tian Du City! Since when did Tian Du City have so many geniuses?
Of course.
It was possible!
However …
There were not that many people who signed up for the Sword Card Master Association at the same time.
Unless …
"There's a problem."
Lu Ming sighed.
True enough.
When the association became popular, it would face such a situation.
"You mean …"
Li Haoran shuddered.
"That's right!
"It is highly possible that they are from other associations!"
Zhou Yun smiled bitterly.
This time was different from the past.
In the past …
Those who went undercover were all enemies.
They would just kill them.
But this time …
They were all young disciples!
I came to your place in an open and aboveboard manner!
Everyone was innocent!
How could they investigate?
And these people only had one goal — to gain a deeper understanding of the Sword Card Master Association!
"What should we do?"
Zhou Yun was very worried. "Should we … reject them first?"
There would be repercussions if the association suddenly expanded tremendously.
If they did not handle it well …
Something big might happen.
Countless associations had been destroyed when they reached this point.
"No need."
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
To find out the secrets of their association?
Hehe.
"I want all of them."
Lu Ming said calmly, "As long as they meet the standards, I want all of them!"
"Master!"
Zhou Yun was worried.
It was true …
Could they really accept them?
"Do you need me to shut down all the content of the association?"
Li Haoran said in a low voice.
"No need."
Lu Ming was very calm. "Since the other associations want to find out more about the association, let them come. As for whether those people are willing to go back or not …"
"That's hard to say."
"Isn't that so?"
…
After a long time …
A large number of newcomers joined the association.
The Sword Card Master Association finally expanded again.
Lu Ming also updated the functions of the Sword Card Master Association in the association's information. It was considered a small improvement and optimization.
However …
He did not expect that …
They would be rejected.
Lu Ming was speechless.
This was merely a matter of changing the introduction. Why the hell would they be rejected?
Hence …
He took a look and was instantly silent.
"For example —
Customizing external products such as — "
？？？
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
What are these two sentences?
What are these asterisks?
Wait a minute.
Did I write this previously?
Lu Ming looked at the completely unfamiliar content and was stunned to find the manuscript that he had thrown into the recycle bin. After comparing it, he finally found the original content.
The Sword Card Master Association provides new customization functions.
"For example —
Customizing food delivery. (Anti-Crab patch)
For example —
Flower burial …
”
Lu Ming was speechless.
When he saw this, he finally understood.
Damn.
Therefore …
The six asterisks actually harmonized the word 'sell' in the first paragraph, the carriage return symbol, the period and the word 'bi' in the next paragraph …
？？？
Damn it!
How did you link all these together?
This is clearly a serious content and you actually want to go all out?!
It was the end of the year …
You are really aiming for sales!
