The next day.
Early in the morning.
Lu Ming woke up feeling refreshed.
After calming down the uprising, he walked to the window and looked outside.
Tsk …
The scorching sun was high in the sky.
"Nine-star is a piece of trash."
Lu Ming sighed.
When a saint or an immortal died, there would be thunder and lightning in the sky and all living things would wail … When a nine-star died, there would not even be rain.
"Master ~
"It's time to eat ~"
Xiao Bai had prepared breakfast.
"Okay."
Lu Ming walked over. "Where's Xiaoming Sheng?"
"He has gone to school."
Xiao Bai said, "Their school has started."
"Oh ~"
Lu Ming was in a daze.
He had attended too many online classes and almost forgot when school started …
It was good.
In that case, he would not have to worry.
Oh.
Right.
As for the Rainbow Youth Team …
"Xiaoming Sheng hasn't been giving them lessons recently?"
Lu Ming asked.
"No."
Xiao Bai blinked. "They seem to have graduated."
"Graduated?"
Lu Ming was in a daze.
Was this a joke?
A bootlicker would graduate one day?!
Hence …
After breakfast.
Lu Ming deliberately went to find out more. He was surprised to discover that the few teenagers from the Rainbow Youth Team were actually in closed-door cultivation. They even left a note for Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was speechless.
After a long time …
He got hold of the secret note.
Well …
It was from the teenager in white.
"President."
"I am not worthy of Yun-er. In this world, only you are worthy of her. Please take good care of her. She is weak and can't kneel for long …"
“？？？”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Wait a minute.
What the hell was this?!
Why did he ask Yun-er to kneel?
The head of the Human Resources Department did not do anything wrong. Why did she have to kneel?
Oh.
Next.
It belonged to the red-clothed youth.
"Guild Leader."
"I'm not good enough for Xiao Qing. In this world, only you are good enough for her. Please take good care of her. She hasn't been eating lunch recently. I'm worried that her stomach isn't feeling well …"
“？？？”
Lu Ming was in a daze.
Wait a minute.
What was this?
Miss Xiao Qing?
Huh?
'Isn't that girl busy studying array formations?'
He had been in seclusion.
And …
He had never heard of Xiao Qing not eating lunch.
Hence …
Lu Ming really did contact her. Xiao Qing said that recently, when it was lunchtime, someone would call her for lunch. She could only say that she had no appetite at noon.
Lu Ming: → _ →
Well done.
What could he say?
Then, there was a letter from the blue-clothed youth. "President, I'm not good enough for Senior Qiu. In this world, only you have the right to be with her. Only you are worthy of her greatness and her deep feelings …"
Lu Ming was confused.
What was going on?
Fortunately.
There was still a salted fish in the Rainbow Youth Team.
Hence …
Lu Ming called the teenager in black over. "What's the situation with these guys?"
"They have come to terms with it."
The teenager in black said seriously.
"Come to terms with it?"
"Yes."
The teenager in black nodded. "That day, they were discussing if they should poison the president and take away Xiao Qing, Qiu Shuyi and Zhou Yun …"
Lu Ming was speechless.
Wait a minute.
What was going on?
"Then, I casually said something."
The teenager in black shrugged. "Nine-star is here. Can you protect your goddess? Their expressions changed from dazed to puzzled, to dazed and then to ashamed …
"Then, they knelt down and were sent to Africa by you?"
Lu Ming instinctively continued.
The teenager in black was speechless.
What did he mean by Fat Elbow?!
"Cough.
"It's okay."
Lu Ming coughed.
Oh.
He understood after hearing that.
Therefore, after being provoked by the nine-star, the few bootlickers realized that they could not take good care of their goddess … They were not qualified to protect her. Therefore, they had the desire to become stronger.
As such …
They collectively went into seclusion to increase their combat ability!!!
"They are ultimately teenagers."
Lu Ming exclaimed.
They were so hot-blooded.
They had such perseverance.
Given their talents and age, they would definitely become big shots in the future!
He believed that …
These few people …
One day, these few people would definitely surpass Lu Dan and ordinary geniuses. They would have super powerful bootlickers.
…
In that case …
The Rainbow Youth Team was in seclusion.
Many people in the association were also in seclusion.
Be it the former grandmasters, the peak Six Stars who had converted, or the genius disciples who had been recruited by the association!!!
Under the stimulation of the nine-star …
In the end, these cultivators were still affected by it.
Especially —
The cultivators who were ready to break through at any time.
After the spirit bodies were perfected, the spirit bodies assisted them in their cultivation and corrected the breakthrough method. The entire Sword Card Master Association entered the breakthrough stage!
Hence …
Everyone went into seclusion to break through to seven-star!
This was a good thing.
It was a very good thing.
Lu Ming was certain that there had never been an association where so many people were preparing to break through to seven-star at the same time. It was impossible even for those ancient associations!!
In the future …
When this batch of disciples came out, coupled with the grandmaster-level spirit bodies …
Haha.
The Sword Card Master Association would become one of the most powerful associations in the world!
No one would dare to belittle them!
Who cares about the foundation? I can crush you to death with a few thousand seven-stars. This was the best time for the Sword Card Master Association to make a breakthrough!
Of course.
As for the expression of our president …
"Humph!"
Lu Ming sneered. He looked at the densely packed list of people who had applied for seclusion expressionlessly.
Wasn't he just a seven-star?!
What was the big deal?!
These people were too unreserved. You came as soon as someone provoked you!
Rubbish!
Look at him.
He had already had a head-on confrontation with a nine-star but he did not feel like he had broken through at all … What was this called? This was the demeanor of a great general. He was unwavering.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
If you say so.
Of course.
Although he despised them …
The disciples' applications had to be approved.
Breaking through to seven-star was a very good thing for the association.
Think about it. In the future, if someone were to come, Lu Ming could turn around and take out a few thousand seven-star and eight-star Original Card Cores to form a Hundred Flowers Array …
Wasn't it good?
Nine stars would do the trick!!!
It was just that …
Cough.
A large number of disciples were breaking through to seven-star. This meant that …
Resources!
A large number of resources!
The association had to provide resources for the disciples to break through to seven-star, right?
Even if they did not …
The disciples could use their points to exchange for resources, right?
As such …
The Sword Card Master Association's reserve resources were depleted instantly!
Lu Ming glanced at the warehouse.
According to the current depletion pattern, the association's resources would be depleted in less than three days and the disciples' breakthroughs would be forcefully interrupted!
Well …
Even if they could break through, they might have died …
…
After a long time …
Li Haoran came forward.
"Master.
"Your hole … Cough, the hole in your room …"
Li Haoran said.
"There's no hurry."
Lu Ming waved his hands and said righteously, "The association has to prioritize the use of the resources for the disciples. We can fill the hole on the last day."
"I've already filled it in."
Li Haoran said in a low voice, "I didn't spend any money. I asked a friend who is in the construction industry to fill it in personally."
"…"
Lu Ming was expressionless.
This child …
Why didn't he have such ideas when it came to earning money?!
He was very proactive in filling the hole.
It seemed that he could go back to sleep tonight.
He was happy. (? _?)
Of course.
Li Haoran did not come here for such a trivial matter.
"Master.
"The association is in need of funds."
Li Haoran smiled bitterly.
"Sigh."
Lu Ming sighed. "You can't come up with anything?"
"We really don't have any more."
Li Haoran felt very helpless. "We ran out of resources yesterday. We emptied your office and only managed to free up three days' worth of resources for the disciples …"
Lu Ming: → _ →
Cough.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Anyway.
After settling the zero issue, the Sword Card Master Association was faced with the biggest problem in history — a severe lack of resources and it could collapse at any time!
"Cloud Mountain …
"We owe a huge debt and have yet to repay it. Besides, Junior Brother went home recently to study the mecha and is not around …"
"Oh."
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
Cough.
They agreed not to use the disciples' money, but what happened in the end? Zhao Yunshan had a huge debt for a long time. He had to repay it and then borrow it. Now, he was in need of funds …
He had a headache.
It seemed that …
He had to solve the funding problem first.
Oo …
Lu Ming looked at the product list for the product launch. "What do you think if we open the pre-orders for all these products?"
"It's difficult."
Li Haoran smiled bitterly. "Many of them are handmade and they are not ready for mass sale."
"You don't even have a few thousand of them?"
Lu Ming asked.
"No."
Li Haoran was very certain.
"Alright."
Lu Ming felt very regretful.
It seemed that he did not even have the chance to turn the screw personally …
The profit plan for the product launch was eliminated!
This product launch was originally planned for the sake of greater publicity and live-streaming effect.
Although the new products were produced, they could not be mass produced.
Otherwise, they would have been sold long ago …
These semi-finished products were prepared to drag Zero into the water.
Thankfully …
They succeeded.
Zero was dead and the Sword Card Master Association's reputation soared. All kinds of mysterious new products were trending. The Sword Card Master Association was really famous in the world …
However, this was not helpful for money!!!
"Why don't …
"I accept an advertisement?"
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
This was the time when the association was the most famous!
With his status …
With his reputation …
With his looks …
If he personally accepted an advertisement, perhaps he would be able to accept an advertisement with a sky-high price since the Sword Card Master Association was very popular now!
After all …
The Sword Card Master Association was now the focus of the entire world.
…
"Let me take a look."
Li Haoran looked for Zhang Yang right away.
In fact, the Sword Card Master Association endorsed products. Due to the competition model of 'Salted Crispy Chicken', there was a certain amount of advertising and marketing income every day.
Therefore …
This department had been operating.
Of course.
Some people also hoped that others would accept the advertisement.
For example —
Some manufacturers hoped that Little Yousheng would accept the advertisement. The super genius children learning machine would do everything that they did not know. The advertisement fee was comparable to that of the celebrity contestant, Salted Crispy Chicken.
Anyway.
As long as one was popular, people would dare to look for them!
For example, people like Heiyin and Li Ergou who had participated in the glory ceremony and were popular contestants, the manufacturers could offer a very good advertising price.
As for the president …
There was no choice.
The president was too noble.
The president's reputation was too terrifying.
Very few people could find him …
Eh?
Li Haoran flipped through and found one. "Master, there is a product endorsement here. The price is very high."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming felt energized. "What is the product?"
If it was a communication device or something like that, there was no harm in accepting the endorsement.
"Let me take a look."
Li Haoran opened the detailed information. "It is a clothing product. It is a pale yellow long dress …"
"…"
Lu Ming was expressionless.
Why?
Do I have to use my hair to match you?!
"Just this?"
"Yes."
"Blacklist it."
"Okay."
Li Haoran was very decisive.
To be honest, if the president did not say anything, he might not even look at it.
What a joke!
Asking the president to dress as a woman?!
Was that possible?
Was the president someone who would dress as a woman?
Was the president someone who would dress as a woman?
It was ridiculous.
One look and one could tell that this endorsement was deliberately done by rich and powerful competitors such as the Swordsman Association or the Card Creators Association.
They did this to humiliate one.
If one dared to accept the endorsement, they would give them money and post advertisements all over the world …
Afterward …
The Sword Card Master Association would be done for.
After all …
Since the president was like this, who would dare to come?!
The Sword Card Master Association was the champion of the Honor and Glory Ceremony and was at the peak of its development. It had not fallen to the point where the president had to sell himself to repay the debt!
Therefore …
Li Haoran simply deleted the information and blacklisted the other party.
They wanted the president to dress as a woman?
Heh.
Wishful thinking.
…
After a long time …
The two of them continued to be in a daze in the office.
"Money …"
Lu Ming sighed.
It was impossible for him to dress as a woman. However, he had to have the money.
Zhao Yunshan's funds could be delayed. However, he could not delay the breakthrough of this batch of disciples. This was a critical time for the development of the association!
As such …
He had to obtain a large amount of resources within a short period of time …
According to his previous method of earning money, perhaps … cards?!
Instinctively …
Lu Ming looked at his cards.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of 'Lightning Integration', Lu Ming had not developed new cards for a long time now that he had reached the limit of Six Stars.
Right now …
As the president, Lu Ming did not need to do anything personally.
The Card Creator Department, System Optimization Department and other departments related to cards could help Lu Ming research and develop new lines.
However …
It was a pity that there was no such thing.
The disciples' biggest task now was to optimize the rectangular cards into 'disc cards' and increase the card effects to a certain extent.
That was all.
As for the rest?
There was no such thing.
Lu Ming even suspected that there would be new cards in the future.
It seemed that …
His cheat finally lost its effectiveness when he faced a seven-star.
Of course.
It was fine if there was no such thing.
Lu Ming accepted it. The income from their card business was still very high …
"Didn't the income increase when we changed from rectangular to disc cards?"
Lu Ming asked instinctively.
"No."
Li Haoran sighed. "It's good enough that we can maintain the original income."
"Huh?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"It's mainly because of the conflict of the cards."
Li Haoran smiled bitterly. "Our disc cards are invincible in Tian Du City, but once we leave Tian Du City … other cities will not accept us.
"In the past …
"When we used the normal cards, we could sell them to other cities and online. But now, as we changed the card model, many people stopped buying. This is because buying our disc cards means that they have to prepare a disc model card bag … "
Li Haoran sighed.
It would always take time for people to accept new things.
As such …
Now, they were dominating Tian Du City and even squeezing out all the card markets of the Card Creators Association. However, in other cities …
The ratio was very low.
"Understood."
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
After all …
They were still considered an exception.
Oh.
New cards …
New designs …
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a long time.
If the new cards were to be treated as new games and the new disc model as a game platform, they were like the newly released NS …
There were fewer games.
The platform was new.
Apart from hardcore fans, other people did not have a strong desire to buy it.
However …
If at this time, you could have an exclusive brand new card that could only be created by the disc model, such as The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Forest …
Wait a minute.
Then, everyone would have the motivation to buy your new machine.
This was a competition for the platform.
It was the same for the Sword Card Master Association and the Card Creators Association.
"Cards …"
"Games …"
Lu Ming's mind was racing.
Perhaps …
He could create a new Game Card?
…
That night.
Lu Ming could not sleep the entire night.
In order to develop a new Game Card, he racked his brains. He did not even notice that he was sleeping in Xiao Bai's room at night …
Night.
Time passed quietly.
