Over the next several days, Xie Mingzhe cleared instances and acquired materials with the other boosters in the studio. He also thought about how he was going to make cards once he was free.
The instant death effect was just one type of skill in the skill database; maybe he could try to make other kinds of cards.
He devised a production plan for other cards, like Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other characters in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Also Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng and other characters in Journey to the West. He believed that noting the plan into the calendar would motivate him.
Xie Mingzhe thought about it optimistically.
He was patient when it ca to producing cards since he could make nurous character cards. At present, he decided to wait for the result of the Auction House and see if he had the right idea.
If [Lin Daiyu] was sold for a high price, he would beco well-known as an original character card designer. When everyone knew 'Chubby', he would open a 'Chubby Card Store' which would surely attract lots of custors.
The economic base determines the superstructure. Whether he was going to be a freelance designer or a professional player, money was a must for him. Right now he needed to acc.u.mulate funds and take one step at a ti, then he would open a store in the near future.

Three days went by.
As for Xie Mingzhe, he had three quiet days, but he really enjoyed these days. He cleared instances and made [Lin Daiyu] everyday. Sotis Brother Chen treated everyone to a good al.
However, Hong Zhu and Huan Yue found these days really tough.
Because the data retrieved from the system showed that the volu of cards made by 'Chubby' had been increasing, but they didn't find his cards in the black market anymore. Hong Zhu worried that 'Chubby' would make a collection of [Lin Daiyu] and sell them to major clubs, while Huan Yue was afraid that he wouldn't join the Adjudication Club if he knew the truth of his gift for making cards.
There were no replies to their emails at all.
Because Xie Mingzhe hadn't gotten into the habit of checking emails regularly, and in order to protect the countless players from advertis.e.m.e.nts, strangers were not allowed to send private ssages, both voice and text, in the ga before they beca friends. They could only send emails.
Everyday, as soon as he logged into the ga, he went to clear instances with Brother Chen, however clearing instances made him exhausted every ti. When he returned to his personal s.p.a.ce, he would go directly to create cards in his study, so he had no ti to check emails. He rarely went to the living room. Besides, he had turned down the voice prompt in the living room because he thought it was too noisy, and he hadn't noticed the blinking icon of new emails.

Wednesday evening.
After having supper, Xie Mingzhe logged into the ga without taking a rest. The night instance opened at 9:00pm, so he had an hour of free ti. He went directly to the Auction House, hoping to see in person if his [Lin Daiyu] had sold.
A young man, whose ID was a string of garbled characters, sat in the corner of the Auction House. He had a common face automatically provided by the system.
Xie Mingzhe naturally wouldn't notice this person.
It was pri ti at night and there were no empty seats left on the fifth floor of the Auction House.
Xie Mingzhe sat in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the LCD screen in front of him.
The door of the Auction House was closed at 8:00pm, the lights extinguished. The NPC auctioneer walked to the middle of the stage, saying with a smile, “Ladies and gentlen, good evening. Tonight's auction is about to begin. First, let's check the auction list…”
The screen showed a list of cards – a level 70 seven-star card, two level 50 five-star cards, and three level 40 four-star cards.
There was also a level 1 one-star card.
Seeing this list, the audience were surprised. So whispers ca from the crowd, “How can there be a level 1 card?”
“The card maker is so lazy. Why not upgrade the card first and then sell it?”
“Garbage level 1 cards should be on sale at the black market rather than the Auction House.”
"Maybe it's a legendary card with perfect attributes, so it's in the auction."
"Isn't it quite unlikely to sell a legendary card?"
The host interrupted everyone's discussion, “This level 1 one-star card will be auctioned next! The author of this card is a newcor who has brought his card to be auctioned for the first ti. His LOGO is very special, you can look at the back of the card.”
The back of the one-star card did not have any decorative patterns, simple and monotonous.
Therefore, the LOGO in the lower right corner was particularly clear.
The audience were so confused – what the h.e.l.l was with the na? Didn't the two characters an "fat" when they were combined?
Sitting in the corner, Tang Muzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly – after waiting for so long, you finally appeared, Uncle Chubby!
Seeing this LOGO, the card expert from the Adjudication Club imdiately sent a PM to Huan Yue, “President, a card with the 月半 LOGO has appeared at the auction!!”
Huan Yue replied decisively, “No matter how much it costs, we must buy this card!”
The Fenghua Club also received a ssage, “Sister Hong Zhu, we found a card with the 月半 LOGO at the auction. What should we do?”
Hong Zhu quickly replied, “Legend Tang is also at the auction using his subsidiary account. Just keep watching and don't cause trouble for him!”
She was very upset. This fat uncle took [Lin Daiyu] to the Auction House? Sister Xue, who had made an inauspicious remark, was right?
