Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

"Brother Tian, do you usually browse forums?"

Zhang Jingtian woke up to a message from Zhou Yang.

He and Zhou Yang usually had an average relationship, but after this competition, they could be considered friends.

"Rarely, I spend most of my time studying." Zhang Jingtian still needed to maintain his persona as a hard-working student; otherwise, his rapid advancement would be difficult for many to understand.

Zhou Yang replied quickly:

"As expected, there's a reason why you're so excellent, Brother Tian. But I'm not gossiping. Recently, something really strange broke out in the forum."

The forum Zhou Yang was talking about wasn't their school's forum, nor was it any kind of celebrity-chasing forum, but the forum affiliated with the Card Creator Association.

Because there are no ordinary people here, only those who have been certified as prospective Card Creators in the association can enter, so you can see a lot of explosive news.

However, the forum has a strict hierarchy, with sections divided according to the Card Creator's mental strength.

For example, prospective Card Creators can't access the sections for official Card Creators.

And official Card Creators are also divided into bronze, silver, and even peak sections.

But the most used section is still their local 'Water Cooler' section.

At Zhou Yang's recommendation, Zhang Jingtian opened the chat section for their Lanruo City.

As soon as he entered, he was bombarded by a news item.

【Shocking! A large number of stray cat and dog remains have appeared in Street Heart Park! Reasonable suspicion that someone is abusing pets!】

This post had the highest popularity, with over a hundred thousand replies.

However, after Zhang Jingtian clicked into it, he thought everyone would be discussing whether it was related to the Legion of Disaster, but it turned out to be a war between cat lovers, dog lovers, animal protection organizations, pet haters, passersby, and other factions.

"Stray cats should be killed! I support this righteous person! Stray cats have killed so many birds, why can't bird lovers applaud!"

"I hate dogs the most, and some people walk their dogs without a leash! These stray cats and dogs should all be beaten to death!"

"Can some people stop changing the subject? I support you handling stray cats and dogs harmlessly, but abuse is not okay, right? Looking at a pile of fur, even with limbs and broken arms, I can't imagine what methods that person used!"

"Yeah, some people hate animals, fine, but don't turn yourself into a monster! This kind of abuse might attract bad things!"

"I, I am the original poster. Although I am just a prospective Card Creator, I am definitely not crazy, and I believe my eyes.

This is how it happened: Last night, I came back from my night shift and happened to pass by Street Heart Park. At that time, I smelled a bloody smell, and I thought someone had summoned a Heroic Spirit.

When I turned the corner on my bike, the streetlights came on, and I saw someone rummaging through the trash can by the side of the road. At the time, I thought this person was quite pitiful, having to rummage through the trash can for food.

But when I passed by him, I saw a lot of blood at his feet... I was so scared that I fainted and hurried home.

Now that I think about it, could this, could this not be a human at all!"

Zhang Jingtian didn't expect that this person was already a Card Creator, but still so timid.

At this time, the discussion below finally revolved around whether the murderer was really a monster from the Legion of Disaster.

But after such a discussion, everyone didn't seem to care much.

Because the monsters of the Legion of Disaster also have levels.

A monster that only dares to attack small animals on the side of the road is probably only White Card level.

It's more like one that sneaked out of Joy Lake or another crevice in the middle of the night and got lost.

The one who should be most worried about their life is clearly this monster.

"I think if it really is a monster from the Legion of Disaster, it should have already become a material by now."

"Yeah, there are too many of these low-level monsters wandering around sporadically, otherwise, where would the materials in the market come from? Many are resolved by Card Creators before they cause harm."

"Indeed, no one usually cares about this kind of monster that doesn't dare to attack people. It's just that killing cats and dogs has made those pet lovers argue. It seems like the lives of cats and dogs are more valuable than human lives."

Zhang Jingtian was convinced after reading the replies in the post.

These low-level monsters should have disappeared by now.

But this was the first time he had seen one so cowardly, only attacking cats and dogs.

Zhang Jingtian quickly put this matter out of his mind, after all, he still had the college entrance examination to prepare for.

The college entrance examination here also has cultural classes, with a full score of 300 points.

It mainly tests some history of the Card Creation world, the characteristics of the Legion of Disaster, and the theoretical knowledge of Card Creation.

The cultural classes are not difficult. Zhang Jingtian has memorized the key points these days and feels that scoring 270 or 280 shouldn't be a problem.

But the most important thing is actually the other two tests.

One is the quality test, which is actually to score based on your mental strength level and the cards you create. The full score is 200.

If you haven't created your own card before the college entrance examination, this part is 0 points. Basically, you have no chance with the Card Academy, and it's difficult to get into an ordinary university.

Most of these people can only choose to repeat a year or enter society. After all, there are many cases of creating cards at work and becoming Card Creators.

And Zhang Jingtian is a noble Silver Card Creator and has also created a Purple Card. He is guaranteed to get a perfect score on the quality test.

And the last test is combat.

However, the combat in the college entrance examination is not a duel, but to randomly send the candidates in an examination hall into a copy.

Based on the performance, the graders will watch the video and give a subjective score.

The full score is 500 points.

Accounting for half of the total score also reflects the importance of Card Creator combat.

After all, no matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, no matter how excellent the cards you create are, it's useless if you don't know how to use them.

Now that Zhang Jingtian is a Card Creator himself, he increasingly understands the importance of combat.

To be honest, if he had the financial resources of Luo Shasha and Chen Haotian, he should have already started to attack the Gold Card Creator level.

These five hundred points are crucial.

If you want to go to the Imperial Capital Card Academy and the Magic Capital Card Academy, the total score must be above 900, and the combat score cannot be lower than 450 (floating score, divided according to the performance of the district).

Then, those who meet this standard will be selected based on your ranking and some other factors.

As for these other factors, Zhang Jingtian also knows about them.

If you are a family inheritance, or your parents were once students of these two Card Academies, or you can donate tens of millions of points, you have a chance to be selected.

Zhang Jingtian can also understand, after all, these two top Card Academies are independently operated, and they definitely need money.

If he wants to enter a top university, Zhang Jingtian must not slack off.
