Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Nine At the end of the year, rush to the performance.
The next day.
early morning.
A new day begins.
The popularity of the Glory Ceremony is still at its peak.
In addition to today's strongest defense event, the promotion of the "Strongest Life Career Award" has been fully launched.
Almost everyone who pays attention to life and career knows this matter——
turn out to be.
This year's most powerful living profession is actually a little-known association - the Sword Card Masters Association! It was this small association that defeated the Card Creators Association!
So far.
The Sword Card Master Association finally left Tiandu City and entered the eyes of all cultivators around the world.
certainly.
Just understand.
Those who signed up are still only practitioners near Tiandu City.
Because the Sword Card Master Association currently only has one branch in Tiandu City, if people from other places want to sign up, they may have to leave their hometown...
The price is too high!
therefore.
The number of people signing up is still within control.
but.
Even so.
The Sword Card Masters Association is already busy enough.
They really don’t have time to pay attention to the other awards of the Glory Association...
And at this time.
Sword Card Masters Association.
Zhou Yun is reporting to Lu Ming on recent work progress.
The number of applicants is overwhelming!
The number of talented people is overwhelming!
There are also many good-looking practitioners!
Although he did not meet the standard of a peerless genius with all-around outstanding looks, talents, and age like his master, he still barely reached the passing mark.
Um……
A standard unit.
This is the latest unit where the review department evaluates disciples.
They evaluated all the disciples based on their performance last year. Although one of the disciples was not the best, he was the most active. His data was the most quantifiable and easy to process.
Reviewer Disciple 2 - Li Si, evaluation score: 0.5 Ye Liangfei, unqualified.
Review disciple 3 - Wang Wu, evaluation score: 1.2 Ye Liangfei, passed.
And so on.
in this way.
The review is much faster.
As the master said, there are many departments in the Sword Card Master Association nowadays. They don't need to look at a single talent. What needs to be tested is a comprehensive strength!
“A lot of people applied?”
Lu Ming smiled.
"yes!"
Zhou Yun was excited, "It's full."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ming sighed.
"It's fine."
Zhou Yun was still very excited, "We have watched the association grow from a young age to its current size little by little. I am not happy enough."
"That's good."
Lu Ming was pleased.
Disciples, you are very enthusiastic.
for a long time.
Zhou Yun left.
A head secretly popped up at the door, "President, please call me..."
"roll!"
Lu Ming's face darkened.
"oh."
Ye Liangfei silently closed the door of the president's office.
Lost in thought.
really……
Has it relapsed again?
Woo woo woo...
It’s obviously been a long time since I heard any hallucinations…
Just once yesterday.
then.
He looked at his right hand bitterly, making you disobedient! Making you intemperate!
Disciples passing by:???
how?
Can Senior Brother Ye fight with his right hand?
…
And at this moment.
somewhere in the association.
The young man in white hugged the quilt and cried loudly.
The boy in red who just came back:???
"What's wrong with him?"
He looked at the young man in black next to him.
"I peeked again."
The boy in black is as plain as water.
He is used to this routine.
Every time Zhou Yun goes to the president's office, the young man in white is worried and insists on eavesdropping, and then... the master's side is strictly shielded, and he can only listen to a few keywords...
result……
That's it.
Why bother, you say...
"brother."
The boy in red also came up to comfort him, "You have a bad habit, you have to learn to let go... Men, you have to have your own backbone to be attractive!"
"Look at the president, when did he lose his dignity?"
"How many girls are chasing me?"
The boy in red said proudly.
"..."
The boy in white clothes gradually stopped crying.
like……
Makes some sense.
Men must have backbone! They must have dignity!
perhaps……
It's time for a change.
but.
He glanced at the boy in red, "Aren't you on Moon Shadow Island?"
"yes."
The boy in red laughed happily, "Isn't it the New Year? I was thinking about getting some New Year gifts for Miss Xiaoqing, and came here to buy some things."
"You said..."
"How about the cosmetics?"
"How about I stop working and make one? I've been studying paper cranes recently. If I draw 35,000 paper cranes, maybe I can impress Miss Xiao Qing..."
The boy in red fell into a sweet dream.
The boy in black:???
The boy in white:???
for a long time.
He cried loudly again.
Fuck your sister’s chicken soup!
Go to hell with your sister!
Woo woo woo...
"Didn't we just agree?"
The boy in red is confused.
for a long time.
He shook his head.
"Why."
"You teenagers..."
"You really have no backbone at all."
Say it.
He floated away, seeming to be muttering, "Hey, it's just Qianzhihe. Miss Xiaoqing must like it..."
The boy in black: "???"
…
"Master, we really don't want to compete?"
Li Haoran still felt a little regretful.
"Which one to join?"
Lu Ming said angrily.
The event schedule for the Glory Ceremony has been released.
Which one can I participate in?!
"Well……"
Li Haoran pondered for a moment, took out the event schedule, and said weakly, "This is the toughest profession..."
What is the strongest strength?
Of course it refers to the core of the profession.
This is the purest competition, and what you compete for is the hardness of the core of the profession!!!
If you are tough enough, you can win a prize!
Li Haoran feels that the original cards of their Sword Card Masters Association are actually quite powerful...
especially--
Master!
For example, he had the same duel with his master back then.
He remembers it clearly.
That was the day.
The master hit him so hard that his original card was cracked... From that day on, he realized that the master was so hard!
With such hardness, what a waste it would be not to participate?
"..."
Lu Ming sighed.
for a long time.
His tone was faint, "Haoran, you are drifting..."
"ah?"
Li Haoran was at a loss.
"The reason why our original cards are stronger is compared with those of card makers."
Lu Ming was also helpless, "Our cards are indeed stronger than the card makers' original cards, but compared with those graduates who switched to professional core courses, we are still a little worse."
"Is it?"
Li Haoran was doubtful.
They once fought head-on with sword cultivators without falling behind at all!
Their original cards are sharp!
powerful!
Solid!
If they are in the same realm, they will definitely not be weaker than any profession!
"Wait a moment."
Lu Ming pondered for a moment.
This won't work.
The Sword Card Master Association is developing very well now, with comprehensive advantages and balanced development. It also continues to have the characteristics of major associations and continues to make progress!
but……
The Sword Card Master Association is not omnipotent!
Lu Ming knew it very well.
We are comprehensive, we are balanced, we have no weaknesses, that’s why we are strong!
And now?
Because of a glory award, and because of the recent glory, all the disciples of the association actually thought that the Sword Card Master could win by relying on hardness!!
Why don't you rely on length?
→_→
These……
It’s not the right way!
especially--
Tangtang Acting President Li Haoran also thinks so.
"Well……"
"Do all the disciples think so?"
Lu Ming suddenly asked.
"Um."
Li Haoran is very proud.
"..."
Lu Ming felt that it might be necessary to give the disciples a blow.
As a qualified president, you give your disciples information when their confidence is low, and keep them calm when they feel inflated.
then.
He pondered for a moment and gave Li Haoran a business card.
"You really think you're solid?"
"So……"
"Go try it with her."
Lu Ming was calm.
"Um?"
Li Haoran opened it and saw that there was only one contact information on it.
It's actually a woman.
like……
The surname is Joe.
…
then.
Li Haoran went.
The girl was at the venue because she was going to participate in the Glory Ceremony, so Li Haoran went directly to find her and challenged the girl.
moment.
He came back quietly again.
"Master, I'm sorry."
Li Haoran was very ashamed.
"Lost?"
Lu Ming was very calm.
"sorry."
Li Haoran lowered his head.
He lost.
Very thorough.
The girl lay her professional core flat and let him create it. He tried every means, but he didn't leave any trace on the little shield...
Shield repair.
It certainly lives up to its reputation.
On the contrary, his original card showed many signs of wear and tear...
And at this moment.
He finally knew what the master meant.
"Are they the strongest profession?"
Li Haoran surrendered.
"No, it's not."
Lu Ming said calmly, "They have never won a championship. Last year was the closest and they still lost."
"Lost?"
Li Haoran couldn't believe it.
That shield repairer...
Miss Qiao...
Actually lose?!
"Then the number one in previous years..."
Li Haoran asked.
"Ding Xiu."
Lu Ming sighed.
"..."
Li Haoran fell silent.
He suddenly felt a little lost.
real.
turn out to be……
Can no one of them compare?
The original card that he thought was the strongest was not enough in front of the shield cultivator, and the shield cultivator didn't even get the first place. Think about those powerful professions...
in this way.
Sword Card Master Association...
Li Haoran was at a loss.
He went from the peak of his career to the bottom in an instant, and he was a little worried about gains and losses.
Regarding this.
Lu Ming just smiled slightly, "Haoran."
"exist."
Li Haoran came to his senses.
"You have to know that there is no perfect career in this world."
Lu Ming said calmly, "The perfect profession you want does not exist. No profession can defeat others in the field they change to."
The reason is simple.
You, a programmer, have to compete with athletes in a long-distance race...
Isn't this seeking death?
Even if someone occasionally has great talent and can surpass him, it doesn't mean anything, right?
Isn’t it nice to burn a CD?
certainly.
The reverse is also true.
You, a good sports student, have to participate in a programming competition...
Why bother?
Even if you lose all your hair while typing on the keyboard, you can’t become Saitama-sensei!
"Then what is the meaning of our existence?"
Li Haoran was at a loss.
"comprehensive."
Lu Ming was very calm.
"Attack, swordsmanship is 10 points, but in other aspects, swordsmanship may be hovering around five or six points, or even fail, and there will be two or three points. For example, group battles, support, life, part-time jobs, just relying on palace manicure and environment
Cutting skills cannot allow sword cultivators to earn more resources."
"Defense and shield repair are 10 points, but in other aspects, they are very low. Their attack power is... weak, and their single-target ability, survival, and support are also average."
"In terms of shooting range, the Archer is 10 points, but in other aspects..."
"You know even if I don't tell you."
"And so on."
"Each profession has its own strengths and weaknesses, and among us, the Sword Card Master Association, perhaps none of us can surpass them!"
"but……"
"Every attribute of ours is 9 points!"
"9 points for attack, 9 points for defense, support, life...etc."
"We have no obvious weaknesses."
"We can also use cards to assist ourselves."
"So……"
"Now tell me, who is stronger?"
Lu Ming asked softly.
boom!
Li Haoran trembled all over.
Who is stronger?
Do you even need to ask?
Of course it’s their Sword Card Masters Association!
An all-round excellent association with the strongest comprehensive strength!
"I see."
Li Haoran was shocked.
He knew that Master said this just to give him a heads up.
As the acting president of the Dignified Sword Card Masters Association, he actually failed to understand the development direction of the association and its professional characteristics. This was his mistake.
"I won't make the same mistake in the future."
Li Haoran looked solemn.
then.
He reorganized the conversation with his master and wrote it into a document, so that every disciple could understand this.
And this time.
Zhou Yun came to visit again.
because……
Found some problems.
"Master, look."
Zhou Yun looked solemn.
"oh?"
Lu Ming looked at the registration form submitted by Zhou Yun with some strangeness.
This amount...
To know.
The Sword Card Master Association has always followed the elite route. There has never been a bad one in the association, even the card maker we hired from Tiandu City last time!
The lowest is 1.08 Ye Liangfei!
And who is Ye Liangfei?
An outstanding disciple of the First Academy.
Again, that is also a genius in the standard sense.
Is there any Wudaokou Academy that corresponds to the previous life?
Therefore, the number of people in the Sword Card Master Association has always been very small. Except for the wave of people absorbed by the Card Master Branch last time, there are not many core members in the association!
And this time...
There are actually thousands of disciples who meet the requirements!
This amount...
Comparable to the first college enrollment!!!
???
This quantity is wrong!
The First Academy is not limited to regions!
And here...
None of the disciples who signed up were from outside the city, almost all of them were from Tiandu City! When did Tiandu City alone have so many geniuses?
certainly.
It is also possible!
but……
There are not so many people who have signed up for the Sword Card Master Association at the same time.
unless……
"There's a problem."
Lu Ming sighed.
really.
If the association becomes popular, it will face this situation.
"You mean..."
Li Haoran was shocked.
"That's right!"
"They are most likely from other associations!"
Zhou Yun smiled bitterly.
This time is different from before.
in the past.
Those who come undercover are enemies.
Just kill him and that's it.
And this time...
They are all young disciples!
People come to you in an upright manner!
Everyone is innocent!
What are you checking for?
And these people have only one goal - to gain a deeper understanding of the Sword Card Master Association!
"what to do?"
Zhou Yun was very worried, "How about... reject it first?"
The sudden and huge development of the association will bring sequelae.
If not handled well...
Something big is likely to happen.
Countless associations were destroyed when they reached this point.
"Need not."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.
Come and learn the secrets of their association?
hehe.
"I want them all."
Lu Ming said calmly, "As long as it meets the standards, I want it all!"
"Master!"
Zhou Yun is worried.
real……
Can I really want it?
"Do you need me to close all content in the association?"
Li Haoran said in a deep voice.
"Need not."
Lu Ming was very calm, "Since our other associations want to come and understand, let them come. As for whether those people are willing to go back..."
"That's impossible to tell."
"Is not it?"
…
for a long time.
A large number of new people are getting started.
The Sword Card Master Association has finally expanded to a larger scale again.
Lu Ming also updated the functions of their Sword Card Master Association in the association's information, which can be regarded as a small improvement and optimization.
However.
What he didn't expect was——
Was beaten back.
Lu Ming:???
This is just a matter of modifying profile information. What the hell is going on?
then.
He took a look over and fell silent.
"for example--
Customized watches such as——”
???
Lu Ming was confused.
What are these two sentences?
What is this asterisk?
etc.
Have I written this before?
Lu Ming looked at this completely unfamiliar content and turned to the manuscript he had thrown into the recycle bin. After comparing it, he finally found the original content.
Our Sword Card Master Association offers new customization features.
"for example--
Customized takeout. (Anti-river crab patch)
for example--
Funeral flowers……
"
Lu Ming:???
He finally understood when he saw this.
Mist grass.
so……
Those six asterisks actually harmonize the word "sell" in the previous paragraph, as well as the carriage return symbol, period and the symbols in the next paragraph...
???
Ganli Niang!
How did you connect this?
It's obviously such a serious content, but you actually start racing?!
