Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

Picking up the Sister Drum in his hand, Zhang Jingtian felt much more at ease.

When he fought before, what bothered him the most was when monsters came in hordes.

Even if Huapi and Yingning weren't afraid of them, it was almost impossible to deal with so many monsters at once.

But now that he had the Human Skin Drum, he could use it to deal with the riffraff.

Although it was limited to the Ghost Clan, most of the enemies he encountered in Lanruo City were Ghost Clan, which was enough for him to use for now.

When he went to other places in the future, he would be able to create other, better equipment.

Moreover, equipment cards, like spirit cards, could have their quality improved.

It's just that Zhang Jingtian hadn't mastered this ability yet.

"Three stars, not bad actually." Zhang Jingtian said with emotion, looking at the star rating of the Human Skin Drum.

Equipment cards, spell cards, and field cards were different from spirit cards in that they didn't have levels, and it wasn't like using the Human Skin Drum every day would level it up.

They were all rated by stars, and the star rating was determined the moment the card maker created them, and it wouldn't change after that.

Five stars was the max, and five-star equipment cards were quite rare, requiring extremely high quality materials and mental strength from the card maker.

Three stars was already a pretty good result for a Silver-rank card maker.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtian summoned the Human Skin Drum. It was indeed very beautiful, and at first glance, people would think it was a work of art.

But even if you didn't beat it, just letting it sit there, you would hear a burst of crying that seemed to come from far and near.

It was very strange.

However, Huapi seemed to naturally like this Human Skin Drum. She couldn't help but approach it, pacing freely around it.

In comparison, Yingning wasn't so close, but she wasn't afraid either, and she whispered to Zhang Jingtian:

"Master, this drum is so strange. I, I smell the aura of my foster mother."

In Yingning's story, she was raised by the Ghost Mother, so it was quite normal to smell her foster mother's aura.

Zhang Jingtian was about to say something, but suddenly his head sank, and his mental strength immediately dissipated.

That's right, he had summoned Huapi and Yingning at once, and now he had made the Human Skin Drum, even though he was a Silver-rank card maker, he couldn't stand to waste it like that.

Before his mental strength ran out, Zhang Jingtian took back all three cards, and then, relying on the last bit of his energy, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Jingtian slept for a whole day and night.

The usually strict Deputy Director didn't even call Zhang Jingtian to get up, nor did he ask much about why he was absent from today's class.

Chen Haotian, who had been scolded by the Deputy Director a few times, immediately asked:

"Why didn't you say that Zhang Jingtian didn't come at all? Aren't you biased towards him?"

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Director immediately laughed mockingly:

"The man just advanced to Silver-rank card maker, what's wrong with resting for a day?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Haotian and several other students were stunned.

They never expected that Zhang Jingtian would advance to Silver so quickly.

In fact, many people were unwilling to believe it, and even Xu Qiang couldn't help but question it.

When he saw Zhang Jingtian yesterday, the other party was only Bronze Four-Star.

Even if he was about to advance, he should have been Bronze Five-Star, how could he directly ascend to Silver!

This was simply unscientific!

But this was what the Deputy Director said, he couldn't possibly lie to them.

So Zhang Jingtian was really a Silver-rank card maker!

Zhou Yang, who had always regarded Zhang Jingtian as a competitor, now directly lowered his head, with a look of despair.

Now Zhang Jingtian was truly the pride of the school!

When he went back, everyone in the Panda Class would recognize this man's strength.

"Is this what a genius is?" After school, Zhou Yang pulled Xu Qiang and asked in confusion.

Xu Qiang looked back at Zhou Yang, who was so tangled, and was surprised.

How high-spirited Zhou Yang used to be! Everyone regarded Zhou Yang as a goal to strive for, and he was also the recognized genius and trump card of the Experimental High School.

But now, a student from an ordinary class had surpassed Zhou Yang in all aspects in such a short period of time.

Just Xu Qiang imagining himself in that position would feel uncomfortable, let alone Zhou Yang, who had experienced it firsthand.

He sighed and said to Zhou Yang:

"There's no way, people are inherently unequal. Some people are just geniuses, what can we do?"

Zhou Yang bit his lip, but couldn't say anything to refute.

Yes, that's how geniuses make people despair.

"Why don't we follow him more in the future and learn from him." Xu Qiang had a good attitude: "Maybe we can still improve! He must have had some kind of opportunity to suddenly advance to Silver this time."

"Yes, luck is also very important, especially for us card makers."

Luck is indeed important in the card-making world. The same materials, similar mental strength, and the same story can produce cards of different qualities.

Although Zhou Yang felt shocked, he was not jealous of Zhang Jingtian.

It should be said that after that time in the dungeon, he was impressed by Zhang Jingtian.

When Zhang Jingtian came back for training, he found that the remaining students were all staring at him, as if there was something on his face.

"Don't all look at me like that, I'm under a lot of pressure." Zhang Jingtian touched his nose and said in a low voice.

"There's no way, a Silver-rank card maker! You don't even have to take the college entrance exam!"

Oh right, Zhang Jingtian had forgotten about this. A Silver-rank card maker could be exempted from the college entrance exam and directly become a formal card maker.

But he still wanted to take the college entrance exam.

After all, if he didn't take the college entrance exam, he, without a background, would definitely not be able to be recommended to those top universities.

Not to mention the top two, he wouldn't even be qualified for the Eight Schools Alliance.

Nowadays, Zhang Jingtian was increasingly aware of the importance of the environment. The gains he had made in these few days of training were definitely more than he would have learned in a month at school.

So he was no longer satisfied with just being able to read at a card maker academy, his goals would be even greater.

"I should still take the college entrance exam." Zhang Jingtian smiled: "If I get the top score in the whole district, there will be a reward!"

Xu Qiang laughed, but knew that Zhang Jingtian was indeed a person who valued rewards.

At this time, the curator of the museum walked in, and the students immediately quieted down.

He cleared his throat and said: "Today's content is a three-person professional duel, which is also to prepare you for next month's high school league."
