Divine Card Creator-Chapter 385 - Teacher-Student Romance Is Forbidden!!!
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Under the guidance of Lu Ming, ‘The First Food Delivery Training Conference’ was successfully held. The teacher was Xiaobai and the assistant instructor was Xiao-Xiaobai…
Among the audience.
Dozens of disciples sat upright, listening to them.
Xiaobai taught each disciple how to educate and guide a card spirit.
“Remember!
“Card spirits are divided into different types and personalities.
“What should you do if a card spirit is too mischievous and disobedient?
“All you need to do is to give it a round of beatings.
“For example, Xiao-Xiaojian.”
Xiaobai was serious.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
What does that have to do with me?
“Some card spirits are obedient and well-behaved. In this case, you must give them careful guidance.
“For example—
“Xiao-Xiaobai.
“Now…
“Can everyone please report your card spirit’s name for registration?” Xiaobai instructed.
“My card spirit is shaped like a bird. I will call it Xiao-Xiao…”
“My card spirit is round, I will call it Xiao-Xiao…”
“My card spirit is like a sea creature, I will call it Xiao-Xiao…”
…
The disciples registered their card spirits.
Xiaobai was making good progress.
Right then…
Xiao-Xiaobai was responsible for teaching each card spirit how to read, look at the maps, and to read the directions according to the navigation, delivering successfully to their destination and back to the Sword Card Master Association.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Xiao-Xiaobai kept glowing.
Buzz—
Buzz—
The dozens of Original Cards in the audience glowed under its lead.
Well…
From the looks of it, they seemed to have mastered it.
“They are quite clever.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was full of emotions.
This batch of sword spirits were stronger than the previous batch. Xiao-Xiaolei, Xiao-Xiaoshé and the few other bastards had yet to learn the foundations and they were already thinking of usurping their teacher…
This was nonsense!
“Oh, right.”
Xiao-Xiaojian came to its senses and leaned forward. “Xiao-Xiaobai, can you add this into the teaching syllabus for the new cards?”
Xiao-Xiaobai took a glance.
Well…
Ethics.
Why should Original Cards learn ethics?
Xiao-Xiaojian coughed. “They must be aware of seniority. The ethical code that humans have developed over many years is worth learning, particularly this…”
Xiao-Xiaojian drew a circle on it.
Ethics —Teacher-student romance was forbidden.
Xiao-Xiaobai was silent.
“Is that alright?
“I feel that not only do we have to discipline new cards, this should apply to old cards as well! Therefore, I hope to implement a new policy—Banning of card spirit teacher-student romance!”
Xiao-Xiaojian said this with some apprehension.
Xiao-Xiaobai paused briefly, took a look at Xiao-Xiaojian. It seemed to understand Xiao-Xiaojian’s words. It then added this new policy to the teaching syllabus for the new cards right away and agreed to publish the new policy!
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly trembled with excitement.
Done!
It was successful!
Xiao-Xiaobai had never looked it in the eye before!
Look!
Right now it actually listened to its words and added the new content to the training for the new cards. Haha. In that case, there was no need to worry about any damn love rivals in the future!
Well…
Now that it thought about it…
Perhaps Xiao-Xiaobai was interested in him?
At the thought of this…
Xiao-Xiaojian had a silly smile on its face.
Lu Ming gave Xiao-Xiaojian a strange look. It twisted about in the air, banging and crashing on its way back, smiling like a fool.
“Have you delivered any unhygienic food?”
Lu Ming was very worried.
“No.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was very happy as it shared its happiness with Lu Ming. “I think there is hope now! It won’t take long and I will be able to achieve dual card functions!”
Lu Ming was silent for a long time and he gave the card a sympathetic look.
Xiao-Xiaojian was unhappy. “Why are you looking at me like this?”
“You actually released a policy to ban card spirit teacher-student romance?” Lu Ming exclaimed.
“Why is this not a good thing?”
Xiao-Xiaojian pursed its lips.
This was so that other card spirits would be well-behaved!
Snort!
With this policy, Xiao-Xiaolei, Xiao-Xiaoshé and the other bastards would not hang around Xiao-Xiaobai all day! Xiao-Xiaobai would be his!
Students must behave like students!
“Well…”
Lu Ming sighed. “Have you thought of this problem?”
“What?”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked up.
“Who guided and taught Xiao-Xiaobai…” Lu Ming said.
“Xiao-Xiaobai?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was confused for a brief moment before it suddenly occurred to it that right at the beginning when they were still in the shop at Qing Ming City, it was the one who had taught Xiao-Xiaobai…
Wait a minute!
Damn!
Xiao-Xiaojian turned green.
“A… am I partially considered a master of Xiao-Xiaobai?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.
Damn it!
It was no wonder Xiao-Xiaobai readily agreed to its plans!
“My condolences.”
Lu Ming patted it.
Poor fellow. It had taken the road to doom. Xiao-Xiaobai had already disliked that Xiao-Xiaojian pestered it everyday. Look at what it had done. It had taken its own life.
“No!
“This policy can’t be released!”
Xiao-Xiaojian screamed, charging into the meeting room like a rogue.
Tsk tsk.
What a pitiful fellow…
Lu Ming sighed.
Afterward…
He returned his attention to the food delivery business. Li Haoran had already reached an agreement with several delivery companies to cooperate and provide them with an interface.
Well…
The testing of the first delivery began!
Ding—
The communication device vibrated.
A delivery order was received, and it was displayed on the screen.
——
Remaining time: Thirty minutes (expedited).
Pick-up address: Juicy Dragon Meatballs Specialty Store, Xie He District.
Delivery address: 8th floor, no. 2 bus station platform at Shuang Xie Building, Nan Feng district.
Difficulty level: Five-star. It is far away and the time given was very short. An ultra speed delivery man is needed.
Order price: Two thousand yuan.
Contact: …
…
——
What the hell was this order?
Lu Ming scanned through it. Just when he was wondering why the no. 2 bus station platform could be parked at the eight level and why it had the same problem as Dao Lang[1], which was that it could not be found…
Ding—
The task was accepted.
A card spirit turned into a flash of light and rushed out!
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Didn’t it need to think for a moment?
Xiaobai’s training just now was about making preparations. She told them that upon seeing the order, they must confirm the two destinations on the map, and to make sure they could deliver on time before accepting the task!
They must absolutely not accept orders blindly!
Afterward…
He noticed that the other card spirits were glowing.
According to the translation, they regretted that they did not manage to get the task…
As for the calculations of the distance and time?
Couldn’t they be done within a few seconds?
→_→
“Did all of you complete the calculations within seconds?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai nodded. “I asked Xiao-Xiaobai just now. They said that card spirits are naturally good with calculations. These are considered as basic operations for them.”
“Really?”
Lu Ming suddenly squinted.
Hahahaha…
It seemed that one of the sword spirits was itching for a round of beatings these days…
Right then.
Ding—
There was another order.
Very soon…
There were a series of takeout orders and the card spirits went on their tasks one after another. Dozens of card spirits flew in the air in accordance with the navigation! Since there was no need for Card Kinesis Flight and they did not need to carry any humans, the Original Cards were astoundingly fast!
It only took eight minutes.
The 30-minute delivery order had been completed!
Xiao-Xiaoji had returned!
Yes.
Was this the advantage of an Original Card?!
There was no need to make the journey back. Upon completing the delivery, the master could summon the Original Card. As long as the thoughts were triggered, the Original Card would return directly!!!
It saved them a lot of time!
Well…
Eight minutes.
And they earned two thousand yuan!
“This works?!”
Everyone was in shock.
This speed…
The price…
All the disciples were very envious.
As six stars, they had also received tasks that paid them tens of thousands yuan. However, none of the tasks were as easy and cost-effective as that one!
Furthermore—
They did not need to do anything!
Their Original Cards would complete the tasks by themselves!!!
This…
Everyone was tempted.
Within two hours every card had accumulated more than ten thousand yuan!
Yes.
It was the afternoon now, only two hours had passed!
All the card spirits had earned more than ten thousand yuan!
To hell with it!
What was with this speed?!
The disciples who dressed up in ladies’ clothes to serve the big shots every night turned teary-eyed. Had they known, they would not have needed to work that hard to act cute?!
The disciple who had lost a lot of weight after going to the pink area everyday felt very upset as well.
Of course.
All these were not as important.
The most important thing was that flying merely consumed energy. But as they trained and flew for a long period of time, the strength of the Original Cards seemed to be enhanced…
Yes.
This was a cultivation method as well—it was a combination of earning money and cultivation!
As the owner, all the Sword Card Master needed to do was to rest well, sleep well, idle around, and to put their efforts into researching abilities!
The disciples were stunned,
It was no wonder a Sword Card Master was so powerful!
Yes.
Others only had twenty four hours a day. They needed to cultivate, research on abilities, earn money, strike a balance between resources and all other aspects, and increase their cultivation level step by step!
What about a Sword Card Master?
Well…
One could spend twenty four hours doing research, one could leave the rest to the Original Card! The Original Card was more effective and outstanding than the owner!
In that case, it was impossible to not be more powerful!
Perhaps…
This was the greatest strength of the Sword Card Master!
Right then…
The disciples were very proud of themselves for joining the Sword Card Master Association. They could already imagine the bright future that they would have!
However…
At this moment.
There was an issue with a delivery. It was intercepted forcibly by others. The Original Card had no other choice but to return and the delivery was missing. Everyone was very furious.
“Are there any records of the other party?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Yes.”
Xiao-Xiaojian nodded.
The Original Card had communicated with its consciousness and they had an image of the person. They searched on the Internet and it turned out to be the local Big Bird Association!
That was…
The was the Summoner Association Big Bird branch that had been making deliveries previously!
“Has the competition started?”
Lu Ming frowned.
He thought it would take them at least a few days to take action!
This was a little troublesome.
They could settle scores with the person from the Big Bird Association who snatched their delivery. However, this order was unsuccessful! It was not a good idea to continue with more deliveries today!
If all of them took action and intercepted the deliveries…
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
After all…
He had just found a good job for the disciples. He could not give up without putting up a fight!
After a long time…
Lu Ming suddenly looked up and glanced at his disciples. “Do you think we are making fast money now?”
“Yes!”
The disciples nodded.
“In that case…”
Lu Ming smiled. “Do you want to speed up the process?”
“Huh?”
The disciples were confused. “Can this be even faster?”
“Of course.
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
…
Right then…
The Summoner Association Big Bird branch.
A middle-aged man with thinning hair had a serious expression on his face as he looked at the list in his hand. He touched the big bird near his crotch, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
This data…
Something was not quite right.
“Quack!”
“Quack!”
The bird bird croaked twice.
“No.”
The middle-aged man shook his head, the area of his head that was covered by hair on both sides revealed a bald patch.
“New forces have joined the business,” he said indifferently.
“Humph!”
“Since the last time we wiped out Sister Group and another group, it has been a long time since anyone competed with the Big Bird Association for business…”
“Quack!”
The big bird near his crotch echoed with enthusiasm.
“Let’s go!”
“I would like to see who is so daring to compete with us!”
He sneered coldly.
Shush!
The big bird soared into the air.
They flew into the sky, having an overview of the whole city. Terrifying energy surged from the eyes, sweeping his gaze over all the cultivators in the sky.
However…
To his surprise, he did not discover anyone who was making deliveries.
This was strange…
He looked at the obvious drop in orders and decided to wait in those places where one had to pass by. Finally, after waiting for ten minutes, he saw a flash of light…
Shush!
Cold lights flashed.
He swept his gaze over and his pupils instantly constricted.
Over there.
A box of dragon myeloid hot and sour noodles made its way across the sky at high speed…
Yes.
The hot and sour noodles were flying by itself!
Where was the delivery man?!
The middle-aged man was shocked. What the hell? Could it that this was the legendary Five-Ghosts Transport Arts[2]. Wasn’t that superstition?
The dragon myeloid hot and sour noodles were the hot and sour noodles made from the bone marrow of the beasts that had dragon bloodlines. Why would it fly by itself? He squinted and noticed that a palm-sized card was glowing under the hot and sour noodles.
As expected…
There was something else.
“Stop it!”
He rushed over and grabbed the delivery.
Shush!
The card disappeared instantly!
There was nothing more?
The middle-aged man looked at the hot and sour noodles with a look of confusion. He thought that he would be able to find some clues from the card. To his surprise, it disappeared right away!
This…
Was this a food delivery without any delivery man?
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows.
They tried delivering meals without any delivery man. However…
This was a big problem.
These days, they needed to pay a high salary for people who were willing to deliver food. The labor costs were more expensive than the food. Therefore, naturally they would expect the best service and experience!
But it was impossible to deliver food without a delivery man!
The Big Bird Association used to send the big birds to deliver meals by themselves.
Well…
30% of the food was being eaten by the big birds along the way.
Some well-trained big birds managed to deliver the food. However, soon after, some people began to catch the birds halfway for a living…
What else could they do?
They were in utter despair too!
Afterward…
They had to give up on the attractive idea of the big birds making deliveries without any delivery man. He did not expect that some other force would try their failed method.
“Haha.”
The middle-aged man looked at the hot and sour noodles in his hands.
Look, they had failed!
That was ridiculous!
A card with a food delivery…
There was no one to guard the food!
There was no one to protect the food!
It was akin to saying ‘Come and snatch the food’!
The other party was too childish for not taking this into consideration and jumped right into delivering food without a delivery man! As long as they could not resolve the safety issues, they could not proceed with delivering without a delivery man.
The middle-aged man shook his head, and was about to eat the hot and sour noodles in his hands.
Afterward…
Something small was flashing.
Shush!
A screen appeared—”Hello, your image and behavior has been recorded. Please bring the takeaway items to the designated place, and the items back to the Sword Card Master Association. All losses incurred throughout the journey will be borne by you, otherwise we will call the police and sue you for robbery.”
The middle-aged man had not come to his senses for a long time.
Eh?
He looked dumbstruck at the hot and sour noodles in his hands. Oh, it was no wonder they were able to make deliveries without a delivery man…
However…
Would this work?
He brought the hot and sour noodles to the cave dwelling, feeling doubtful.
“I have just been informed that my takeaway has changed hands and it is with you. Please verify your identity,”
the customer said coldly.
“Vice president of the Big Bird Association…”
The middle-aged man said.
“Oh?”
The customer checked that there was nothing wrong with the identity. He noticed that the food delivery was still properly wrapped. “Well, give me the food. Don’t take others’ food in the future.”
Bam!
The gate to the cave dwelling was shut.
The middle-aged man was speechless.
Until this time, he finally realized what had happened. He who was the vice president of the Big Bird Association had actually helped a card to complete its delivery!!!
To hell with it!
He was here to investigate!
However…
He still had some returns!
“Sword Card Master Association?”
The middle-aged man was deep in his thoughts.
Shush!
He switched on the communication device and checked that the delivery orders kept disappearing.
The Sword Card Master Association had taken up 20% of the orders!
It was a shocking figure!
This meant that even at peak times, their market share had been taken up by other competitors! If it was during a non-peak period, it would have been worse!
“This is strange.”
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows.
He had heard of the Sword Card Master Association. He remembered that there were very few members in the association. Even if everyone had one card, it was impossible to take up so much of their business!
They were very fast…
But so what if they were fast?!
There were more than several thousands of delivery orders in Tian Du City!
The Big Bird Association had to send out many of its members to complete the deliveries!
How about a few dozens of them?
This was impossible!
However…
At this time, he noticed that there were 9999+ comments in the internal group of the association and he opened it out of curiosity and he was shocked.
“I saw a card outside…”
“Me too, it was flying with a dragon blood roasted tiger’s whip!”
“I saw it four times in my neighborhood and I intercepted it four times. But it would disappear and I ended up having to help with the deliveries…”
“Me too. There was once when I ate it and I had to buy the food and deliver it to the address!”
“+1!”
“I ignored it and I was on the wanted list… right now the police are after me.”
The disciples of the Big Bird Association expressed their anger.
Afterward…
Just at this moment…
The middle-aged man realized the reason why the deliveries plummeted: Half of the several thousands of members noticed the cards and intercepted them. However, they ended up having to make deliveries for the cards…
What was happening?!
And…
He pondered briefly. Given the number of members of the Sword Card Master Association and the number of members of the Big Bird Association, why was it that so many of his members would run into the cards?!
Hence…
He was doubtful as he went somewhere near the Sword Card Master Association. He studied them for a while and was shocked to realize that…
Damn the cards. All of them carried the deliveries and flew somewhere near the delivery men!!!
Their intention was for the delivery men to see the deliveries!
This was to pique their curiosity and for them to catch the cards and to make the deliveries on their behalf! In that case, the cards could return within a short period of time and accept another order, looking for the next delivery man!
What kind of demons were they!?
