"The freshmen assessment has come to an end. By the way, have the reserve quotas for this year's school team been decided?"
In the principal's office of Xingzhu No. 1 Middle School, in addition to the principal, there is also a middle-aged man discussing the next matters regarding the school team.
The middle-aged man wore glasses and looked as calm as water, but his whole body was wrapped in an aura that was as unmoving as the deep roots of an old tree. It was hard to imagine that he was only in his thirties.
Due to the important position of card makers in human society, as a representative of a country's emerging forces, the school team of each school represents the ranking of a school, and even affects the proportion of resources poured into a certain region by the country every year.
But unfortunately, in recent years, the performance of Xingzhu No. 1 Middle School can only be said to be unsatisfactory, neither too good nor too bad nationwide, just average.
Principal Chen looked at the list in his hand. Originally, there were three students marked on the list, namely Li Ming, Bai Yuexin and the evil sacrifice.
But the evil priest had died in the secret realm, and his bones were cold together with her plot to infiltrate the Card Creators Association, and the position that belonged to her was vacated again.
"By the way, principal, if a student died in the secret realm, no one would notice the problem?"
"The Municipal Education Bureau and other schools have asked us before, but after we came up with the evidence that she was an evil sacrifice, there was no further action."
He drummed lightly on the table with his fingers: "By the way, this is the student Xiao Lu was talking about. Who said the first card was the purple card?"
What was placed at his fingertips was the list of material types that Li Ming needed.
"Have you not investigated his background? If you can use this kind of material to make cards, it is very likely that he is an evil sacrifice who has received the knowledge of the evil god."
The principal sighed and looked at him: "Don't worry, we have already conducted an investigation. There is no abnormality in his mental power growth. It should be just a result of his talent."
"How about," after saying that, the principal smiled slightly, with a slightly teasing tone, "you try it too? Maybe you can also make an evil god."
"Forget it, I don't have the brains." He shook his head.
Normal card makers know very little about evil gods, and the myths handed down from ancient times basically have little to do with evil gods.
According to this box of blue cards, it must be high-intensity and cannot be judged as plagiarizing other worldviews. The difficulty cannot even be described by the use of words and sentences.
After exchanging a few rude words with the principal, he took off his glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth, and then looked at the principal again.
"But since there is such a good prospect, why don't I lead this school team?"
These words were quite new, and even made the principal lean forward slightly: "Yo? I thought you were used to blowing the air conditioner."
The man didn't answer after hearing this, but just picked up Li Ming's identity information and investigation report.
"Li Ming... seems to be very knowledgeable about evil gods."
Looking at Li Ming's file, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered slightly.
After a few seconds, he looked at Principal Chen.
"When I arrive, I will take them directly to Yuangu Hailing."
…
After producing [Whispers of Cthulhu], 70% of the pressure that had been weighing on Li Ming finally disappeared.
Judging from the powerful enemies he can currently come into contact with, none of them or their creations should be able to withstand Mr. Ke's gaze.
Although the mental impact produced through this method should be less than one percent of Cthulhu himself, it should be enough.
If you look at it one more time, it will explode, but this time it will explode on the opposite side.
Li Ming lay on the soft cushion with his body stretched out. The faint sunlight shone on him through the window, and the charming afterglow reflected in the center of the white sheets.
The freshmen assessment has just ended, and next is a long vacation without any time off. Lying in bed and resting is a beautiful thing.
In fact, there was originally no such a long rest period, but the problem is...
There are many students who are receiving treatment for missing arms and legs. They say that they can get cured quickly by getting a cure card.
However, there are still some students who have fallen into a semi-mad state due to unknown reasons, clamoring all day long to draw the evil god, and some even stated that they would spend the rest of their lives believing in and pursuing the evil god.
Sure enough, physical illness is easy to treat, but mental illness is difficult to treat.
As the initiator of all crimes, Li Ming can only wish that their latent madness can recover soon and embrace a better life as soon as possible...
Li Ming originally planned to go shopping with Bai Yuexin, but after taking a look at the eyes of the students, he felt that it would be best to rest for the next few days.
After a good sleep, Li Ming yawned and called Lu Bi.
"Hey, Captain Lu, let me ask you a question."
"What?"
"Well, is there any way to quickly increase your mental power?"
Lu Bi was also a little confused: "Ah? Just practice, how can you improve?"
"What about practicing?"
"Then make cards. When you make cards, your mental strength will be fed back. Just make more cards. It's just like leveling up."
"Is there anything else?"
"Of course, you can also offer sacrifices to the evil god and let the evil god imbue you with spiritual power."
Hearing this answer, Li Ming was a little suspicious of what he was thinking a minute ago.
"I feel that normal cultivation is good. It's not very difficult. It's just a matter of frequent card making to improve the purity of mental power."
"You still remember that when making cards in the Sea of Spirits, you need to use your mental power to create a blank card. You skip the name and start drawing the card directly. You can draw some short stories or pictures, or those ordinary things.
Any story that comes to mind but is not enough to become a summoning card is fine."
"Don't lose your name? You can't create a card like this, how can you give back?"
"It's not about giving back. When you draw cards and write stories, don't you also consume mental energy? Every time you consume mental energy, the purity of the spiritual sea will become richer. By relying on this method, your mental energy will slowly increase."
After a pause, Lu Bi continued: "Of course, since you can't get out of the card without being named, the stories you write are usually short stories of insufficient quality to be made into summoning cards, and the pictures you draw are preferably comics, so
The more information you buy, the more mental energy you consume."
"As for the specific steps, I will send you the "Continental Style Cultivation Manual" that I wrote myself. Please follow the file. [Continental Style Cultivation Manual.pdf]"
Li Ming clicked "Accept" with a speechless face. He didn't expect that this careless guy could actually take the time to write a book. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
While waiting for the file to be transferred slowly, a new group chat message popped up.
He was pulled into a new group named [Xingzhu No. 1 Middle School’s 2023 school team is invincible].
Li Ming: "..."
This style of naming makes me think that he is the classmate who still has his heart in the second grade.
Sure enough, when I opened the group member list, I saw Bai Yuexin and the class teacher, Teacher Lin.
As for the other five, Li Ming didn't know them.
Teacher Lin: "Welcome @李明, everyone should still have the impression that he is the first in the freshman assessment."
