Lu Ming returned to the room and looked at the wall. Oh, the hole has been filled in... This kid Li Haoran is really so considerate...
Beat him to death.
for a long time.
Li Haoran is here.
"Master."
“Is the soundproofing okay?”
Li Haoran asked with concern.
It’s true, Miss Tian, I wonder if Master hates being disturbed the most?!
So he also went to find Miss Tian and stopped using those moving things for the time being. After all, low frequencies are not good at soundproofing...
"fine."
Lu Ming's eyes were calm.
"Master, this is a group of disciples who applied for retreat today."
Li Haoran submitted the list.
"Um……"
Lu Ming pondered slightly.
This matter really cannot be delayed any longer.
"so."
"You tell them that in order to help them break through, I have prepared some things. When the time comes, the Sword Card Master Association will unite in retreat to break through."
Lu Ming said this.
"good."
Li Haoran executed the order.
soon.
The order was given, and the disciples were amazed.
"Wow...there are such benefits."
"I just found out too."
"Then just wait."
"look forward to."
"As expected of the association with the greatest future potential!"
"嘤嘤嘤."
…
"It seems I still have some prestige."
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
This is daily brainwashing...ah, the benefits of daily publicity.
certainly.
The premise is that it can really be solved.
If the problem of the disciples' breakthrough this time cannot be solved, and if the disciples cannot exchange their points for breakthrough resources, it will be really bad.
Fortunately.
Lu Ming now has a solution.
only.
Before he started to formally invest in research, at this moment, things happened.
Sword Card Master Association cards suddenly became unsaleable.
right.
That's right.
Can't sell it.
I no longer want any of the stores I cooperated with before!
Regarding this.
The Sword Card Masters Association attaches great importance to it.
After Li Haoran sent someone to investigate, he got the result - the energy cards on the market announced a large-scale price reduction, with a price reduction of 50% in one fell swoop!
There is no doubt that the person who took action was the Card Creators Association!
"???"
"What are they doing?"
The disciples of the Sword Card Master Association were stunned.
Energy cards are originally training cards for low-level disciples, and their profit potential is very small. If they do this, they will directly lose money.
Is the Card Designers Guild crazy?!
They don’t make any money themselves!
The card-making effect of the Sword Card Master Association's CD-ROM is even better than theirs!
Sword card masters don't make any money, so they eat shit?
"I'll ask."
Li Haoran went over to ask.
However.
it is a pity.
The other party directly blocked Li Haoran's contact information.
but.
This attitude...
"No need to ask."
Lu Ming looked indifferent, "They started a price war."
"Price war?"
Li Haoran's eyes suddenly widened.
"That's right."
Lu Ming sneered.
When you are most in danger and short of money, launch a price war!
really……
The Card Creators Association has been waiting for the opportunity!!
They must have discovered the financial problem of the Sword Card Master Association this time, so at this time, they launched an attack and began to seize the card market!
This kind of thing...
Lu Ming had seen it too many times.
for example--
Little Yellow, Little Blue and Little Green’s shared bike battle.
There was no winner in this battle. In the end, the whole army was wiped out. No one escaped from this disaster. Even the users who enjoyed subsidies suffered...
The money cannot be refunded.
Another example -
Xiao Huang, Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong’s takeout delivery battle.
Xiao Huang and Xiao Lan finally won and divided the world equally. Xiao Hong, Xiao X, and a series of forces that could not even be named were all eliminated.
Users enjoy weak benefits in the competition between the two parties.
Another example -
Little Orange, Little Yellow and Little Blue’s online ride-hailing battle.
finally.
Only Xiaocheng survived, successfully completed the monopoly, monopolized the profits, and began to continuously increase prices...
…
etc.
in this way.
Three battlefields, three results.
In his previous life, Lu Ming, as a salty fish, usually only had a piece of cake.
did not expect.
Here in this life, the Card Creators Association actually launched a price war against him - a price war between 'square cards' and 'round cards'.
in the past.
Everyone uses the original card core.
Naturally, the Card Creators Association will not use this method, as the gain outweighs the loss.
And now...
Since everyone has different professional cores, the attack is over! As long as there are fewer people using round cores in Tiandu City, the income of the Sword Card Master Association will be lower!
even.
Card-related manufacturers will gradually transform. If no one even makes round card packs, who will be willing to join your Sword Card Masters Association?
ah.
If I must use a metaphor...
possible.
That stillborn wp system?
I entered the battlefield at an unsuitable time, and misjudged the situation and was unwilling to increase investment. WP was completely in decline before it even started...
And now.
The Sword Card Masters Association is facing exactly the same situation.
"President!"
"The prices of other cards have also been reduced! All the cards we can get, the Card Creators Association has reduced the prices! Moreover, the price reduction is particularly terrifying!"
"..."
Lu Ming was silent for a long time, "Are their costs higher than ours?"
"yes."
"..."
"Card makers are willing?"
"I heard that there is a large amount of subsidies, and all losses are borne by the Card Makers Association. Their income from card making is even higher than before."
"..."
Lu Ming was silent.
What could he say?
That's it!
It is indeed the richest career in life!
The Card Printers Association has developed to this day and has strong branches, institutions, factories, and countless related projects in major cities around the world.
And what about the Sword Card Masters Association?
There is only one Tiandu City!
In the past, their battles were limited to Tiandu City.
so.
Lu Ming definitely has it!
And now...
Things seem to be different.
Lu Ming raised his head and looked into the distance. There, in the direction of the headquarters of the Card Creators Association, this organization that had existed for countless years finally took action...
them.
Can you really survive?
…
And at this moment.
somewhere.
Senior officials of the Card Designers Association are also meeting.
At the meeting, the light curtain was suspended, the losses caused by the price war, the possible consequences, and Lu Ming's possible response all appeared on the light curtain.
That's a form.
Very complete.
It covers almost all the paths Lu Ming can take.
"Do you know what Lu Ming's worst decision was?"
"Change form."
"Although Lu Ming changed the form of the disc and improved his combat effectiveness, he also separated himself from the public opinion of our branch of the Card Creators Association..."
"However, he also left himself with fatal consequences!"
"He can no longer enjoy all the benefits, card packages, resources, and structure of the rectangular original cards that our Card Creators Association has left behind for countless years..."
"certainly."
"It's also easier to get kicked out by us."
"perhaps……"
"It's time to take back Tiandu City."
…
Tiandu City.
Sword Card Masters Association.
The disciples' income plummeted.
Even if there is no labor cost for automatic card production, the price has dropped below the cost line, and it is impossible to make money anymore.
continue doing?
What a loss.
Stop doing it?
Waiting for the large-scale influx of cards from the Card Creators Association...
I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it back.
It has to be said that the timing chosen by the Card Creators Association is particularly good. It strikes the lifeline of the Sword Card Masters Association with a steady and ruthless approach, trying to kill him with one blow!
in this way.
Those affected are ordinary sword card masters...
There are also elite sword masters who should have broken through but haven't been able to break through yet...
Sword Card Masters Association.
The most critical moment suddenly arrived!
"You want Junior Brother Zhao to come back?"
Li Haoran asked.
"Need not."
Lu Ming shook his head.
It may not be useful for Zhao Yunshan to come back for this kind of thing.
A price war?
No way.
No matter how rich the Zhao Group is, it cannot be compared with a truly large-scale association. Otherwise, the Zhao family would not have embarked on the path of mechas.
Price wars and subsidy wars, once launched, may sometimes be out of your control.
If you enter the opponent's battlefield, the Sword Card Master Association will be defeated!
"What should we do?"
Li Haoran was anxious.
He didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.
"Let me do it."
Lu Ming took a deep breath.
This matter seems complicated and attacked from many sides, but if you peel back the details and analyze the root causes, this war is essentially composed of two elements.
First, money.
Second, card possessions.
so.
If a new card fits...
Lu Ming closed his eyes slightly.
for a long time.
He was already prepared in his mind.
only.
Before making a new card, Lu Ming had some things to verify.
…
brush!
Light and shadow flicker.
Lu Ming stepped into the sea of consciousness.
His eyes swept across this strange world. This place was once in chaos, but was later opened up by Sister Cat and became a place of residence.
so.
Theoretically, Sister Cat can also help Lu Ming break the sea of consciousness!
certainly.
Just in theory...
"Definitely."
Xiao Xiaojian said domineeringly, "If Sister Cat takes action, your sea of consciousness will turn into a big bowl of wide noodles."
"..."
Lu Ming glanced sideways.
Ever since Sister Cat could speak, he didn't bother to talk to this guy at all.
then.
He went over cautiously and woke up Sister Cat.
"Meow~"
Sister Cat murmured subconsciously.
Then……
Look at Lu Ming.
"What's the matter?"
Sister Cat asked coldly.
"I want to ask."
Lu Ming was a little embarrassed, "Can you help me rebuild the sea of consciousness?"
"cannot."
Sister Cat stretched lazily and said, "You know where I come from. If I attack you, it will be equivalent to provoking the entire universal rule system."
"so."
"I can't help you break the sea of consciousness."
"Not even zero."
"The plan you had envisioned and let Yi help you break won't work either."
Sister Cat said seriously, "If you want to break through, you can only find your own way within the rules of the world..."
"All right."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
but.
As a programming dog, Lu Ming quickly discovered the loopholes.
That is--
Rules and integration.
Of course the power system of the eternal world will not work, but what if you have already integrated into this world? That is equivalent to getting a green card!
Look.
In previous lives, there was a saying that you could get a green card by getting married. Here...
cough.
Lu Ming suddenly remembered the way in the eternal world where humans and souls become one...
certainly.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ming had already flown out.
boom!
There was a loud noise.
Lu Ming slammed into the wall.
→_→
"Fine."
Lu Ming sighed and dug himself out very skillfully. It seems that Brother Cat is also opposed to outsiders living permanently... Anyway, let's work hard on our own.
…
but.
After this shock, Lu Ming finally understood one thing, that is - his sea of consciousness is really resistant now...
Think about it.
There have been a bunch of four-star, five-star and six-star professional cores here...
There was a seven-star octopus ball here...
There were eight-star blue corals here...
And what about Lu Ming?
Just a six star.
so.
Lu Ming doesn't have to worry about the problem of the sea of consciousness now - just make it.
That's the case.
He understood.
…
"Little sword?"
"exist."
"Let's develop a new world here."
In the sea of consciousness.
Lu Ming looked at the chaos in front of him and stood proudly.
"ah?"
Xiao Xiaojian looked confused.
It looked at the chaos far away in the sea of consciousness and started... to develop?! With its current combat power, it would be almost impossible to destroy this place, right?
"Who made you collapse?"
Lu Ming said angrily, "I'm talking about development! Get this piece sorted out!"
"Then what?"
Xiao Xiaojian was in a trance.
It didn't understand what Lu Ming wanted to do.
Even if a new world is created here, it is just one more warehouse... Your sea of consciousness is originally a cat's nest. What's the difference if it's bigger or smaller?
but.
It also had to listen to Lu Ming's orders.
So, one person and one card, relying on their "skilled wall-picking experience", opened up a vast and boundless world in the distance...
"Can this break through the Seven Stars?"
Xiao Xiaojian was full of doubts.
It remembers that breaking through the seven stars requires collapse and reconstruction.
You must destroy the consciousness originally formed from this world system before you can re-establish new power and touch the realm of the master.
"Who is going to break through?"
Lu Ming sneered, "I'm making cards!"
"???"
Xiao Xiaojian was even more confused, "Card making?!"
"Come."
"This map is ready. You use this map as the background, put the spirit body of our sea of consciousness on top, and divide it into an independent layer..."
"What?"
"Layer."
"Each layer is independent, only the background can be seen..."
"good."
"that's all."
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
"Sister Cat, I have one more request."
Lu Ming was a little embarrassed.
"..."
The black cat looked at him curiously.
"You took me to the dark shadow world..."
Lu Ming said solemnly, "I want to learn."
"good."
The black cat casually passed it to him.
Now that the Dark Shadow World has been closed, this thing is no longer important.
"Thank you!"
Lu Ming was excited.
He looked at the new technology coming from the black cat and was fascinated. After he understood it, he found that this thing was just as he expected. It was essentially a port-to-port transmission...
→_→
The port of World of Dark Shadows has been closed.
This technology is useless.
but……
What if you open a port yourself?
Lu Ming was shocked.
…
for a long time.
Lu Ming called the spirits to start testing, fixing bugs and optimizing the experience over and over again. Finally, he finally achieved what he wanted.
…
that day.
Lu Ming issued a card-making task.
Since energy cards and those cards don't make money, let's make association cards. Lu Ming will give them appropriate points and corresponding prices.
then.
All the disciples started making cards.
The Kalings also began to work hard.
In just one day, the Sword Card Masters Association has accumulated a massive amount of cards...
…
The next day.
New cards are released.
certainly.
When a card is released, there must be publicity.
When Lu Ming sent the task to Zhang Yang, he never expected that in just one hour, the new card would sweep all the hot search lists.
The title is simple and crude.
"Nine Stars took action because of this card"
"The legendary Nine Stars! Both of them have deep connections with Lu Ming! The reason turns out to be this"
"A murder caused by a card!"
"Proof of 60cp, connected by cards!"
"Dignified Nine Stars, Died for Grabbing a Card!"
"Three Years as President and Five Years as Agent: How to Attract Nine Stars?"
…
etc.
Lu Ming looked confused.
Indeed……
Be flamboyant.
In an instant, the new card was put together with the popular Nine-Star Boss a few days ago, allowing people to click in and learn about the story of the new card...
What a ghost!
What’s that 60cp? What’s going on?!
besides……
That three-year president and five-year agent? What the hell!
I really want to kill someone, but why?
Lu Ming wanted to send Zhang Yang to the infirmary within minutes...
Fortunately.
Although the title was bad, the publicity effect was still terrifying. In just a few hours, everyone knew about Lu Ming's new card that was about to be released.
certainly.
The first launch location and priority purchase location is still Tiandu City.
…
then.
Under the attention of the national hot search and the envious eyes of all outsiders, the practitioners in Tiandu City proudly went to the Sword Card Master Association to purchase the first batch of cards.
That's a small CD card.
There is no star rating limit.
No energy restrictions.
It even comes with the energy stacks required for card activation. You only need to click to activate the card.
"It looks very ordinary."
Someone muttered.
Then.
Activate it easily.
Wow——
Light and shadow flow.
The scenery before my eyes changed drastically.
…
ps: It’s actually the end of March... a day when you can’t even leave the house, there is no concept of time at all →_→
