Chapter 240 Card Upgrade, Power Enhancement

A girl’s heart is always filled with spring.

Whether it is the short-haired girl or the pink bed girl, although they are of noble birth, they are no different from ordinary girls in the boudoir. There is always more attention paid to some special girls.

Ye Ning was naturally unaware of what was happening far away.

His focus now is on upgrading and strengthening his own cards.

Not only the [Bull Demon King] card, now all his cards can get a new round of enhancements.

Because of the existence of mental energy, his cards can carry more power, which also means that he can use better quality materials to amplify this effect.

During this strengthening and upgrading process, Ye Ning's own control over mental energy can also be improved, and his star power and mental power can also be further refined.

In fact, it is also to allow the cards to be in a better state to receive the enhancement of the [Transformation Pool].

Of course, there is one more crucial thing to deal with.

That is, in the [Transformation Pool], Ye Ning needs to prepare more powerful original cards for his own cards.

However, Huang Yuetian has already prepared this for Ye Ning. In fact, his uncle Ding Dequan is also preparing these things for Ye Ning.

Ding De is a combat card master who specializes in undead cards, so he is very familiar with the original cards of the skeleton series.

So he asked a specialist to inquire about other cards, and he personally went to get the original replacement card needed for [White Bone Lady].

And it has been obtained now.

It was a special skeleton card called [Emperor's Bone], which was considered one of the most powerful humanoid skeleton creatures.

Produced from a well-known secret place of the undead in the southwest region, their size is no different from that of ordinary people, but their skeletons are a jade color, and their bone strength is very high among all the original cards of the skeleton series.

The quality of the original card itself is orange perfect, and it is the highest grade even among the orange perfect qualities.

But speaking of it, this original card of [Emperor's Bone] is actually not that popular.

Relatively speaking, there are two routes for card masters of the Undead school. One is the quantity route, which is special summoning cards or summoning scene cards. The main feature is to continuously produce skeleton creatures.

The other is the boutique route. The undead card players of this route generally prefer giant skeleton creatures with larger bodies and more exaggerated skeletons. Although such skeleton creatures are slow in movement, they can exert more powerful destructive power.

Therefore, the exquisite [Emperor's Bone], which is the same size as an ordinary person, is a bit useless to most undead card masters.

In particular, this type of card requires killing special [Emperor Bone Guardians], and then searching for the special Emperor Bone Crystal Core from the treasure they guard. After activating it, there is a certain chance of getting the original card of [Emperor's Bone].

[Emperor Bone Guardian] itself is an extremely powerful and difficult skeleton creature.

Killing [Emperor Bone Guardian] and obtaining the crystal core has a certain chance of getting the original card of [Emperor Bone Guardian] itself. This card is slightly inferior to [Emperor's Bone] in terms of quality, but because of its larger size (two to five meters tall, four to twelve meters long), its shape is similar to that of a centaur, and it can use powerful weapons, it is actually more popular than the original card of [Emperor's Bone].

However, for Ye Ning's [White Bone Lady], [Emperor's Bones] is the most suitable original card as her new foundation.

Currently, Ding Dequan is on his way back with the cards. He should be in Beijing in two days at most. By then, he will not only bring [Emperor's Bone], but also several other original cards prepared for Ye Ning.

Most of them are original cards suitable for Ye Ning’s second set of Hell deck. After all, this is Ding Dequan’s professional area.

Ye Ning doesn't need to worry about the original card part, and he doesn't need to worry about the universal materials either.

Whether it is the training base, his own uncle and aunt, or even Yu Wenwei's, Ye Ning can get what is suitable.

However, when it comes to the selection of some special materials, Ye Ning needs to think carefully, after all, he needs to refer to a special worldview to prepare.

For example, the [Bull Demon King] that Ye Ning is currently strengthening.

According to the records in Journey to the West, [Bull Demon King] also has a mount called [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast].

A water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, which can be ridden to the sky and the sea, and is unreachable.

This is the introduction to it.

In Journey to the West, it does not appear in many scenes.

The most classic one is that Monkey King transformed him into the Bull Demon King and tricked him into riding away.

But this does not mean that it is not powerful enough. In fact, according to some speculations, this water-avoiding golden-eyed beast should theoretically be a high-level mythical beast with dragon or unicorn bloodline.

For this [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast], Ye Ning's plan is to use it as a basis for the special original card, and after incorporating the settings of the [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast], completely integrate it into the card of [Bull Demon King].

That is to say, use cards to strengthen cards.

To be precise, it was completely integrated into the [Bull Demon King] card before the [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast] card was successfully refined.

This is actually a relatively advanced card-making technique, which Ye Ning also learned in an open class at the training base.

It is one of the most commonly used techniques for later card makers to enhance existing cards.

The original card that Ye Ning chose to carry the [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast] was an original card called [Golden Lion of Water].

Original card: Water Golden Lion
Quality: Excellent (Purple)
Grade: 30/70
Attributes: Water, Gold
Type: Summon

Features: (Omitted, it will be gone soon anyway)

Skills: (Omitted, same as above)
This is a very special summoning card, which looks 60% similar to a lion.

But it is larger, has more developed limbs, and has a pair of pointed horns on its head.

Because it has the dual attributes of water and gold, its combat power is quite good, and it has strong amphibious properties. It is the original card that many card makers like to use to make mount cards suitable for them.

After all, the shapes of [Golden Water Lion] themselves are really handsome, and after being made by card makers, they can become even more powerful.

Using such a card as the carrier of the setting of [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast] should be completely sufficient.

In addition to the mount, [Bull Demon King] also has a weapon called [Mixed Iron Stick]. There is no detailed introduction to this weapon in Journey to the West, but given that it is the weapon of [Bull Demon King], who is almost the most powerful monster in Journey to the West, it cannot be simple.

In fact, this [Mixed Iron Rod] is the easiest for Ye Ning to handle. After all, he is now living with Huang Yuetian. The forging skills of the senior sisters and aunts around him are all very strong. Among them, there are more than one forging masters, not to mention that there is also a forging grandmaster behind him!

Weapons and mounts are the most basic settings. After adding them, the current [Bull Demon King]'s combat effectiveness can at least be increased several times, and its potential will also be further improved.

This is what Ye Ning plans to upgrade now.

In fact, in Ye Ning's mind, after the appearance of [Bull Demon King], Ye Ning also planned to make two more cards. One is [Rakshasa Woman] or [Iron Fan Princess], and the other is [Red Boy].

These two cards are the family members of [Bull Demon King].

Because the [Bull Demon King] card was made in advance, it is impossible to make it into a complete set of cards now.

But Ye Ning had no intention of making it into a set of cards.

These three are actually different in nature. If they were made into a set of cards, the power of the bond would not be easily exerted.

[Princess Iron Fan] can enjoy the enhancement of [Banshees], but if it is used as a card set, she cannot enjoy it.

Of course, the card set has its own amplification effects.

All I can say is that each has its pros and cons.

Although there is no card set effect, because the three are set as a family, they can form a special bond effect after production is completed.

As for the use of the activated new bond, we can only wait until the other two cards are produced.

However, this is not in Ye Ning’s short-term plan for the time being, so it can only be put aside for now.

It took Ye Ning more than two hours to integrate [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast] and [Mixed Iron Stick] into the card of [Bull Demon King].

The integration of the [Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast] not only greatly enhances the ability of the [Bull Demon King] itself, but also adds a characteristic of the same name to the [Bull Demon King] card.

[Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast]: It has a special divine beast mount, which can be summoned during battle. When mounted, its attack and defense effects are increased by 30%, and its speed is increased by 50%. It can move freely in water, on land, or in the air (Note: this requires the level of [Bull Demon King] to be raised to a certain level).

[Mixed Iron Stick] was made for him by Ye Ning through Senior Sister Huang Xiaoying. Although Ye Ning emphasized several times that it didn't need to be a particularly good stick as it was to be used to amplify cards anyway, the Senior Sister still put in her best effort to help Ye Ning make a stick of excellent quality.

After this [Mixed Iron Rod] was integrated into the [Bull Demon King] card, it naturally brought a great improvement to the [Bull Demon King], and also added a skill of the same name to the [Bull Demon King] card.

[Mixed Iron Rod]: The exclusive weapon of the Bull Demon King, which can amplify the Bull Demon King's strength by 80%. It is extremely strong and almost indestructible.

After completing this wave of strengthening, Ye Ning rested for a while.

In fact, even at this point, the card [Bull Demon King] still has room for improvement.

The power of the mental fire was far beyond Ye Ning's imagination.

It’s just a pity that [Bull Demon King] is made based on the blue excellent card, so this is almost its limit.

If you want to continue to enhance it, you have to replace the original card.

Fortunately, Ye Ning had actually thought of this a long time ago. When he made [Bull Demon King], he left a small backdoor. In this case, even if he did not use the [Transformation Pool], he could still replace the original card used.

Of course, this kind of backdoor cannot be left casually. Once it is left, the card itself will be relatively fragile before it is closed again. A battle of too high intensity may cause the card to completely collapse and turn into powder.

This is also the reason why Ye Ning has no plans to use it in battle at the moment, so he can leave this backdoor.

It is impossible to do this in normal card making.

[Red Bull King].

This is the original card that Ye Ning has chosen to use as the basis for the real original card of [Bull Demon King].

This is a purple original card of excellent quality, which can be called a hexagonal warrior. It is almost the most powerful original card at the level of purple excellent quality. Even many purple cards of excellent quality made by card makers cannot match its power.

This also means that this card must be very popular with everyone, but naturally Ye Ning cannot get it at the moment.

But Ye Ning is not in a hurry anyway, so just wait and see.

The strengthening and upgrading of the [Bull Demon King] card was completed, and Ye Ning then started to strengthen other cards.

Huang Yuetian kept sending people to deliver special materials, and Ding Dequan also brought the [Emperor's Bone] card to Ye Ning on time.

After four days, Ye Ning's cards were upgraded again.

As Ye Ning's cards became stronger, Ye Ning's own mental power and star power became more refined, and his star power once again approached its peak.

And his mental strength directly broke through to a small level.

Time passed quickly, and the 47th Beijing New Card Creator Competition officially began!
There are a total of 130 people from the Sunlight Realm group who passed the previous auditions and entered the main competition.

These 130 Sunlight Realm card makers will then go through three rounds of card making of varying difficulty levels. At that time, multiple judges will make a comprehensive score comparison based on each person's performance. In other words, after everyone has gone through three rounds of production, the ranking will basically be directly determined.

After all, it is different from the battle between card masters. The best way to fight between card masters is to fight in twos.

Fight, then win and lose, the winner advances and the loser is eliminated.

But it’s different for card makers. The combat effectiveness of the cards they make is not the only test criterion.

Of course, combat is also an indispensable part for card masters.

So one of the rounds of questions will be about designated special summoning cards. There will be the same test using battle puppets as opponents, and then the judges will score the contestants based on the various data of the summoning cards made by the card makers.

In general, unlike the fierce confrontation in the Battle Card Master Competition, the Card Maker Competition is not so gunpowder-filled.

But it does not mean that there is no pressure in the card maker competition.

On the contrary, everyone's real-time scores and rankings will be clearly displayed on the big screen in the stadium.

Each contestant will be able to see it directly.

This one item alone is enough to make all the contestants feel tremendous pressure.

After all, everyone came here aiming for the top ten, but when they looked up, wow, they were ranked over 100?

All of a sudden, the motivation came.

In fact, the card maker competition system can be said to be the fairest and most just competition system.

You should know that there are rumors of match-fixing in the neighboring card master competition every year, and it is hard to tell whether they are true or false.

But in a competition system like the Card Creator Competition, match-fixing becomes meaningless.
