The next day.
Early morning.
Xiaobai was still studying the basic lines, while Lu Ming had officially begun the preparations for the Cultivation Card.
First thing, research.
He needed to research the usage of the Fish Leap Technique. He gave this difficult task to Zhang Xiaopang.
——
An energy consumption of fifty points would be able to summon a fish which had a length of thirty centimeters, width of fifteen centimeters and teeth that were five centimeters. Damage caused…
An energy consumption of eighty points would be able to summon a fish which was thirty-two centimeters long, sixteen centimeters wide…
An energy consumption of one hundred and fifty points would be able to summon a fish…
An energy consumption of three hundred points…
…
——
And so on.
The higher the energy input, the bigger the fish that was summoned, and of course, the greater the damage!
Lu Ming came up with the data table for the Fish Leap Technique. He had conceived a concept in his heart.
Secondly, Charging Card.
He needed the lines of the Charging Card!
This card was essentially the lowest level card. Otherwise, it would not be so cheap. It was only slightly more expensive than a one-start Energy Card. Therefore, Lu Ming bought it without much thought.
There was no encryption on such a card.
Learn and study!
The card was very simple. He learned it after looking at it once.
Thirdly, Illusion Card!
The creating mechanism for the Game Card was too simple. Therefore, it needed a layer of packaging.
At the very least… it must not be easily seen through like Fruit Ninja!
What he wanted was that those who had seen it, experienced it and had the card could not understand the core mechanism of the card. They could only see the gaming part of the card!
That was the effect that he wanted!
“Xiaopang, come over here.
I want a sea…
Yes, I do not need any restaurant or fruits. I only want an endless ocean which will contain a variety of fish and other living organisms!
For example, a small yellow croaker, big snakehead fish, swamp eel… put everything inside for me!
You must make sure to differentiate the different levels.”
“Yes, I will make sure to do that.”
“Put a special egg over here… Well, it must correspond to the table that I came up with two days ago. Do you understand?”
“Yes, this is the data.”
“Prompt. There must be a number prompt. Those that will make a sound, understand?”
Lu Ming continued to give orders.
Soon, the illusion was completed.
Whoosh!
The illusion turned into neat lines after the Original Card sealed it.
Illusion Card, completed!
“It’s settled!”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
The Fish Leap Card was completed. The Charging Card was completed, so was the Illusion Card. What followed after had to be done by himself. He had to use the Lamination Technique to link them together!
“Come on.”
Lu Ming was thrilled.
The first layer—Charging Card, energy consumption of one hundred points.
Lu Ming drew the lines carefully.
The lines in the Charging Card had the highest energy requirement. Lu Ming placed it at the bottom layer, so that the stairs would be able to withstand the drawn lines!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter drawing the lines for each layer, he had to be extra careful in drawing the stairs.
It was the most crucial path!
The second layer—Fish Leap Card, energy consumption of fifty points.
Done!
He continued to draw the stairs.
The third layer—Illusion Card, energy consumption of fifty points.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Lu Ming never dared to have the slightest slack.
This was the first time that he drew the high difficulty level Composite Card.
Three cards in one!
This was not one of those slow and simple Game Cards, where one only needed to increase the storage. This was a real Composite Card that could only work with energy!
Lu Ming did not even know whether his energy was stable or not.
Fortunately, just when he almost could not hold on anymore, a touch of light flashed, the lines had reached the final finishing stage!
Shush!
Lu Ming made the final sealing stokes gently.
The final sealing strokes of the basic lines were akin to “The end” in programming.
“Done!”
Lu Ming was excited.
Done!
He held the first Composite Card in his hands!
Buzz—
There was a flash of light on the card face.
The lines turned pitch black on the back of the card. One had to sense with energy to feel it. There was a huge fish on the front of the card.
Well…
This was the sign of the Fish Leap!
The Charging Card and the Illusion Card acted as support. The core of the card was the Fish Leap!
He turned the card. There were two small arrows on the front of the card.
Well…
This was the energy inlet.
One of them was for filling up energy, meaning that it could charge and store energy.
The other one was to activate the card, meaning that it could release the energy!
As long as the energy flowed and emerged at the designated position of the arrow, it would achieve the corresponding effect. This was the Composite Card that Lu Ming created!
The effect of this card…
Lu Ming went into the testing stage.
Charge testing…
Illusion testing…
Usage testing…
He would have to test all of them.
Buzz—
Lu Ming directed the energy inside his body to charge the card.
He knew that…
The so-called charging was in essence the effect of the Charging Card that Teacher An passed to him last time. However, his design was not as simple.
Buzz—
There was a flash of light.
The illusion was activated with the influx of energy.
This was a low-level illusion.
There was no attack at all.
It could be stopped halfway.
The total consumption was only fifty points of energy. It was negligent to any cultivator. Of course, one could also choose to enter the illusion to feel how the card was like.
Lu Ming chose to enter.
At this moment, the world around him seemed to become an ocean.
Before his eyes…
Was endless seawater.
The sea was full of all kinds of creatures.
An egg floated quietly on the sea. As one filled up the energy, cracks appeared on the egg. It finally cracked as one continued to fill up the energy.
Click!
Click!
There was a crisp sound followed by a trace of glory.
A small silver fish appeared from the egg. Its distinctive appearance attracted Lu Ming’s attention.
The small fish wandered in the ocean, blending together with the sea. The other surrounding small fish noticed it and crowded around it, bullying the outsider. It looked very miserable.
However…
With the influx of one’s energy, the small fish suddenly became active.
It dashed ferociously to a small fish right in front of it and swallowed it!
Click!
Click!
Click!
As the energy continued to be filled up, the small fish began to eat all sorts of fish.
It ate level one small fish, level two small fish, level three small fish… In the illusion one could even see the fish count that kept rising.
Gobbled level one small fish, energy increase of ten points.
Gobbled level one small fish, energy increase of ten points.
…
Congratulations!
Your Leviathan has evolved to level two!
…
Gobbled level two snakehead fish, energy increase of one hundred points.
Gobbled level two snakehead fish, energy increase of one hundred points.
…
Congratulations!
Your Leviathan has evolved to level three!
…
Gobbled level three koi, energy increase of one thousand points.
Gobbled level three koi, energy increase of one thousand points.
…
…
…
Gobbled level nine megalodon, energy increase of ***** points.
Gobbled level nine megalodon, energy increase of ***** points.
Congratulations!
Your Leviathan has evolved to level ten!
Bang!
There was a loud sound.
There was a blinding flash!
Congratulations!
Your Leviathan had undergone massive evolution, it had evolved from a fry to a giant Leviathan, its combat ability has greatly improved!
…
That was what happened!
This was the Game Card that Lu Ming created!
Leviathan!
As long as one filled the energy, one could rear the Leviathan! As one filled it up with more energy, the Leviathan would become more and more powerful. It would even become a three-start, four-start, or five-start…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was no limit!
It would keep growing and evolving! It would keep gobbling other sea creatures and become stronger!
This was the concept of the Leviathan!
The most important point was—
It could be summoned!
This turned the Game Card into a Cultivation Card!
Its nature had changed.
In fact, this card was very simple—in essence, it was the Fish Leap Card + the Charging Card.
When one filled up the energy, the energy was in the Charging Card. Upon releasing it, it was in fact releasing the energy in the Charging Card to activate the Fish Leap Card.
That was all.
It was simple and rough.
But not many people could tell the mechanism.
Illusion Card!
The third layer of Illusion Card was to package and conceal it!
It packaged and concealed the core of the Fish Leap Card + Charging Card into all sorts of fish, creating a magical game mechanism where the fish kept growing!
Why was Fruit Ninja so popular?
Could it really be that it was the only card that trained one’s reaction?
Naturally not.
In this world, there were lots of other methods to train one’s reaction time.
Furthermore—
The effect was much better!
However, those cultivation methods were too boring. Their efficiency would decrease in the long run! Therefore, Fruit Ninja played an important role.
It was very popular as it combined gaming with cultivation!
Therefore…
It was the same with this card.
Weren’t there other ways to charge and release energy?
Of course!
Other people would have come up with such ideas. However, like the Charging Card, it would hinder cultivation and it was boring and a waste of time!
No one would use it!
They felt that it was not cost effective.
Then…
How about looking at it from another perspective?
It was too exhausting to charge a card…
How about…
Let’s rear a Leviathan!!!
The game started with an egg. One had to rear it in order for it to evolve!
The upper right corner was the combat ability ranking. One could always check the power of one’s Leviathan!
He had adopted the perfect evolution effects. Each time there was an upgrade, there would be sounds and effects to remind the user and to satisfy and bring pleasure to the user. When it reached level ten…
There the effects evolved!
Hatchling, fry, humongous Leviathan, there were distinctive levels for them to upgrade to!
After reaching the stage of the humongous Leviathan, it would evolve and branch into two possible stages. If the evolution was successful, it would turn into a fire Leviathan, if it was a failure, it would turn into a unique corpse Leviathan, helping one to become more formidable!
And most importantly, one could summon all of them!
According to one’s wishes!
As long as one was willing!
One could activate the card and release the attack ability!
The Leviathan that one reared would turn into real combat ability. When one was in danger, one would be able to use it to give the enemy a striking blow at the most crucial moment!
The higher the combat ability of the Leviathan, the more powerful the card would be!
This card…
Could be one’s hidden trump card.
At the thought of this…
Lu Ming tore a label and wrote on it seriously, pasting it on the top right corner of the card—”Leviathan”.
