Chapter 046 Lin Xiao: I'm a genius at making cards
Twenty minutes later.
Lin Xiao put away the card-making pen with the calmness of sheathing a knife.
On the three blank cards in front of him, three magnificent and mysterious card-making lines were outlined.
Lin Xiao had just become familiar with these three fourth-order lines in the morning, and checked them three times to make sure there were no mistakes.
Finally, Lin Xiao read the assessment requirements again:
"Completely outline three second-level and above-level card-making lines."
Pay attention to this ‘and above the second level’.
As a card maker who pursues perfection, it is very reasonable for me to outline the fourth-level texture in the second-level assessment, right?
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, maintaining the fine tradition of post-exam inspections, and stayed up for 30 minutes, waiting for the female examiner named 'No. 66' to come and collect the exam cards.
No. 66 walked over with high heels and glanced at Lin Xiao strangely.
With such a simple assessment content, he actually sat through the full 30 minutes without handing in the paper in advance.
Could it be that he really couldn't draw it out and just pretended to be fake, so he couldn't pass the "Silver Card Maker" test?
That would be too disappointing for the acting president’s hard work...
"How long will it take to get the results?" Lin Xiao asked politely.
"soon."
With No. 66's eyesight, he can tell whether the second-order lines are complete at a glance, thus obtaining the assessment results.
She put away the three cards in front of Lin Xiao, glanced at them briefly, and froze on the spot.
Lin Xiao looked at the frowning female examiner and asked tentatively: "Hello?"
"Wait, wait a minute..." No. 66 put his hand on his brow, stared at the three cards in front of him, and said with difficulty: "I'm still... still grading."
What's going on with these three card-making lines? They're too delicate and ingenious to be second-order.
Although I don’t want to admit it, I don’t seem to be able to understand these three card-making lines.
It's like an over-the-top mathematical problem-solving method that is too advanced and should not appear in the examination room of a second-level card maker!
"You, wait a minute." No. 66 knew that he was not good at learning, and blushed with embarrassment, "I want to give these three cards to others for review."
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and nodded strangely.
No. 66 bowed his head in embarrassment and walked out of the assessment room. There was a "dong dong" sound in the office, and the voice of the acting president came from inside: "Please come in."
"What's wrong?" The acting president vaguely realized something, "Is it related to Lin Xiao's assessment again?"
No. 77, who was sitting nearby, said in surprise: "There is no reason for him to fail a test of this difficulty, right?"
"No." No. 66 was embarrassed to say, "It's me. I can't understand the card-making pattern he outlined..."
The acting president took the three cards handed over by No. 66. He is a fifth-level card-making master with superb skills.
As his eyes wandered over the three cards, the acting president fell silent. Under the increasingly nervous eyes of No. 66 and No. 77, he muttered:
"These are three fourth-order lines. It's normal that you can't understand them."
"Fourth level pattern!?" No. 66 opened his eyes wide.
"Well." The acting president took a sip of hot tea to calm down, "I think Lin Xiao thinks that this question is too easy and thinks that we underestimate him, so..."
The acting president lowered his head and returned the three cards: "So, I deliberately sketched three complete fourth-level lines in the assessment items."
No. 66 and No. 77 looked at each other, No. 66's eyes were full of shock, No. 77 shrugged, with an expression of "I'm used to it".
"This high-profile method is generally called 'showing off skills' in the card-making industry, and is particularly popular among some card-making geniuses."
The acting president crossed his fingers and said slowly: "The so-called dazzling skills - for example, a pianist plays the piano and uses more splendid fingering; a mathematician deliberately uses a more advanced algorithm to solve problems; and a card maker, outlines
Higher-level card-making patterns are just a manifestation of 'showing off skills'."
No. 66 silently listened to the teachings from the master, and 'Gulu' swallowed his saliva.
Is this... the realm of card-making geniuses?
"To put it simply." The acting president stacked the three cards into a pile, "Lin Xiao's card-making level is far more than the second level... As for whether he has the fourth level, I don't think he has it. Otherwise, based on his
His age is too shocking."
It's just...the acting president's eyes flickered, and there were various signs that card making was not his strong point.
At this age, I can take care of duels and card making at the same time, and gave me a "dazzling" card making texture class...
The acting president shook his head dumbly.
The future life is to be feared.
This kid always brings "surprises" every time he comes back to the Card Master Association!
"Just let him pass the assessment." The acting president returned the stack of cards to No. 66, "Let him take this away as a souvenir."
"Are there no files left?" No. 66 asked in surprise.
"No, not only don't you use it, I also want to carve another fifth-level pattern for this kid." The acting president said with a deep look, "Tell him what a real 'show off' is!"
What a strange competitive spirit...
No. 66 looked at the acting president who was on fire, and then looked at No. 77 beside him.
No. 77 looked up at the ceiling and rubbed his stubble.
The first time I came was to the training room, the last time it was card evolution, this time it was the so-called card-making genius...
There are not many ways left for this kid to show off!

Lin Xiao is still waiting in the examination room.
About half an hour later.
On the 66th, he came back to inform him that he had passed the second-level assessment, and he was given a card with patterns drawn and engraved by the acting president himself.
Lin Xiao could identify that this was a card-making pattern used for fifth-level training, which would greatly help improve his card-making level.
"This is what Mr. Kayden gave you." No. 66 said, "He said the questions were simple just to let you pass more smoothly. He didn't mean to look down on you. This card engraved with the fifth-order pattern was given to you personally by him.
A small gift.”
"Contempt?" Lin Xiao was a little confused.
No. 66 saw that Lin Xiao seemed to be the talkative type and shrugged: "Actually, I'm not quite sure what he meant. He kept talking about 'showing off skills', 'card-making genius' and the like. Maybe the card-making master always thinks
Different from ordinary people...Okay, this is your "Silver Card Maker" badge, please accept it."
Counting the harvest: "Silver Card Maker" badge, 2,000 star coins and a jar of green blessing potion, as well as a card engraved with fifth-level practice patterns presented by President Kaiden.
Lin Xiao gained a lot and left the Card Master Association with satisfaction.
Looking at Lin Xiao's leaving figure, No. 77, the so-called 'professional', sighed.
Every time I see him leave the Card Master Association, he always comes back with a full load...
You are not here to take an exam, you are clearly here to purchase goods!
With Lin Xiao's departure, a rumor about a "card-making genius" spread like wildfire within the Card Masters Association.
“Have you heard, that guy named ‘Lin Xiao’ is also a card-making genius!” No. 66 gossiped.
"In the second-level card maker exam, drawing the fourth-level card-making pattern... is so outrageous!" No. 77 crossed his arms and agreed.
"President Kaiden originally planned to accept him as his disciple, but he felt that he is a double genius and cannot delay him." No. 66 continued.
"What? He is President Kaiden's card-making apprentice?" No. 55 blinked.
"What?! Lin Xiao wants to accept President Kaiden as his apprentice!?" No. 44 exclaimed.
Everyone looked at No. 44, and behind him stood a figure quietly. It was President Kaiden.
"No. 44." President Kaiden said with a smile, "Which foot do you usually take first through the door when you go to work?"
No. 44 was startled, but when he heard President Kaiden's tone was quite gentle, he said tentatively: "I forgot, maybe it's the left foot?"
"That's right." President Kaiden's face quickly darkened, "Let's go find the finance department and settle the payroll."
"Right foot, right foot!"
"Haha, it's all the same."

It was getting late, and Lin Xiao was sitting on the subway, heading to Queen's Road.
That’s where the ‘Star Map City Investigation Team Headquarters’ is located.
Putting the "Silver Card Maker" badge in his palm into his windbreaker pocket, Lin Xiao clicked on the light screen and found an avatar.
The man's head is like a black raven, facing the camera sideways, revealing bright red eyes.
"Brother Chu Yun, are you free tonight?" Lin Xiao wanted Chu Yun to come to Queen's Avenue to pick him up and maybe give him a dinner.
The other end of the light screen replied quickly, but the content of the reply was irrelevant.
