Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 164 Preparing Materials
After hearing this, Zhang Jingtian looked very sad.

He really didn't expect that after only one month of seclusion, the outside world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He almost didn't recognize this new world.

However, this world, full of dangers and enemies everywhere, is more in line with his imagination of the card-making world when he first crossed over.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtian took a deep breath and then walked quickly towards Teacher Li's dormitory.

He knew that the situation was urgent, so what he had to do was to quickly upgrade his cards and then make new orange cards.

However, when Zhang Jingtian knocked on the door, there was no one in Teacher Li's dormitory.

He was a little surprised because he had the impression that Teacher Li was a homebody. Except for classes, he stayed alone in the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, one day, Teacher Li disappeared.

Zhang Jingtian had no choice but to contact Teacher Li through his mobile phone, but he didn't expect that the call could not be made.

At that moment, Zhang Jingtian was indeed a little panicked.

Since he entered school, Teacher Li had been the one who helped him the most. And Zhang Jingtian could also see how much Teacher Li valued him.

Therefore, Zhang Jingtian has great respect for Teacher Li in his heart.

He was very worried that Teacher Li might have encountered some accident in the current increasingly critical situation.

Thinking of this, a worried expression appeared on Zhang Jingtian's face.

He wandered around the school in a panic, and ended up walking into the place of Old Man Chen, who had helped him make the equipment card before.

When Old Man Chen saw Zhang Jingtian's distraught look, he seemed to immediately understand what Zhang Jingtian was thinking.

"Are you thinking about finding your teacher Li?"

Zhang Jingtian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the other party:
"Uncle Chen, do you know where he went?"

"Of course, several young teachers in the school have gone to the secret realm." Old Man Chen touched his chin.
"Recently, several extremely dangerous secret realms have appeared in the Magic City. Many people nearby have unfortunately been caught up in them and never emerged. If this continues, the Scourge Legion in the secret realms will have to come out on their own initiative.

So our school found several teachers to clean up the secret realm, and Teacher Li was among them."

Zhang Jingtian nodded and then asked, "This, isn't it very dangerous?"

After hearing this, Old Man Li smiled:
"It's actually quite dangerous. But given the strength of the teachers in our school, they won't be in danger that easily, so just relax."

Zhang Jingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's good, that's good."

He suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"By the way," Old Man Chen glanced at Zhang Jingtian and said softly, "You came to see your teacher Li to ask him about the evolution card, right?"

Old man Chen could tell at a glance that Zhang Jingtian had been promoted.

Although he was surprised, he had already associated Zhang Jingtian with genius in his heart.

So I feel like there is nothing surprising about it.

After all, they are geniuses, so whatever they do seems to be excusable.

Zhang Jingtian nodded vigorously: "Yes, teacher, I am platinum now, right? I also plan to make an orange card and update all my previous cards at the same time."

"I thought you would remake the whole thing!" Old man Chen smiled. This is the method most people would use.

Because evolving cards is troublesome and consumes a lot of materials, it is better to make a new one.

Unless it’s the card maker himself, who is quite satisfied with the story.

"I really like their stories. I feel like their abilities haven't been fully utilized."

Zhang Jingtian said seriously. "Well, in that case, I'll teach you something!"

Old Man Chen mainly explained to Zhang Jingtian the process of card evolution, and suggested that he could help him evolve his original human skin drum and human bone sword into orange cards.

When Zhang Jingtian heard this, he immediately laughed.

However, before his smile could fully bloom, Old Man Chen immediately added:
"But I'll pay you. I won't work for free."

Zhang Jingtian tutted his words, "Teacher Chen, I should be the first freshman in our school to reach Platinum. Don't I get any rewards?"

Old man Chen on the side shook his head: "If you want a reward, you can go to your dean, I don't care."

"Teacher Chen, you and I are old friends. Is there no discount at all?"

Old man Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke after a while:

"Discounts... well, there are some."

"How about this? I'll give you a 40% discount, and you can just pay with your points. Oh, and if you don't have enough points, credits will work too!"

All card academies have a currency independent of points, which is credits.

Credits can be exchanged for various things in school, just like reputation in the Sheriff's Bureau.

However, it is quite difficult to obtain credits, so most of the time, students still pay with points.

But Zhang Jingtian is different. He just led his team to win the championship of the college league and received a reward of 50 credits.

If converted into points, it is almost equivalent to 500 million points.

"How many credits?" Zhang Jingtian asked immediately.

Old man Chen touched his chin and laughed:
"30, that's the lowest price. Every profession has its own expertise. The equipment card I make for you will definitely be much better than your own."

Zhang Jingtian admitted this. He was able to turn the tide several times thanks to the human bone sword made by Old Man Chen.

If it can be upgraded to a higher level, its power will be even more formidable.

"Okay!" Zhang Jingtian agreed.

He also needs materials to evolve, and what he evolves into is not as good as Old Man Chen.

At this time, there is no need to save some money.

Afterwards, Zhang Jingtian took the remaining credits and exchanged them for two orange materials before returning to the dormitory.

The two orange materials are [Arctic Scales] and [Banshee's Fang].

In folk tales, besides ghosts, the most common creatures are monsters.

Yingning, a subordinate of Zhang Jingtian, is also a demon clan member, so when he made the fourth card, he also thought of making a second demon clan card.

Among the famous monsters in legends, apart from fox monsters, the most common one is probably snake monsters.

Moreover, the upper limit of snake monsters is also very high. There are the extremely ferocious and powerful Bashen in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as well as the close relative dragon clan.

Zhang Jingtian discovered that when making cards, one must pay attention to the upper limit.

The evolution paths of his three current cards are very clear, so they can accompany him for a long time.

As for the representative figure among snake monsters, Zhang Jingtian naturally immediately thought of the most famous legendary figure, the White Snake.

But these two pieces of materials are not enough, he has to go to the trading market in Magic City to buy a few more.
