Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 8 Resource Allocation
The classmates were talking about it, and the one who surprised them the most was Zhang Jingtian from the ordinary class.

They had never even heard of this person before.

Luo Shasha and Xu Qiang are different. During the exams last semester, both of them were in the top ten in the grade, which is better than many people in the Panda Class.

Moreover, they also produced cards early on and entered the ranks of prospective card makers.

Their transfer to the Panda Class was something everyone had foreseen.

But who is Zhang Jingtian? How could a student in an ordinary class be able to jump two levels and be promoted to the Panda Class?

Everyone was confused, and perhaps only those who were on the same school bus with Zhang Jingtian knew why he got such an opportunity.

Many people shuddered when they thought of Zhang Jingtian's heroic spirit.

Being in Lanruo City, they often see many ghost-like heroes.

But there are very few like Painted Skin, which has a beautiful appearance but gives people an extremely strong and eerie feeling.

The reason for this can only be explained by the fact that Zhang Jingtian's story was well-made.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Jingtian and two other classmates walked towards the stern-faced dean of studies and vice principal.

Wang Chunyan knew what they were going to do. She felt proud but reluctant to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingtian hadn't made any moves before, and everyone thought he wouldn't be able to pass the entrance exam.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he actually produced a blue quality card.

This is considered a genius among high school students.

"Hello, I'm Xu Qiang."

Xu Qiang from the fast-paced class is a tall, round-faced boy with a somewhat honest look.

He didn't think much about why Zhang Jingtian from the ordinary class was with them. He felt that the school leaders must have their reasons for doing so.

Luo Shasha is different from Xu Qiang. She has a somewhat arrogant personality.

She felt that she should have been promoted to the Panda Class a long time ago.

But she didn't expect that there were two other people with her who completely stole her limelight.

Xu Qiang is fine, they compete with each other in every exam.

But she had never even heard of this Zhang Jingtian.

Where did this person come from?

Luo Shasha cleared her throat and looked at Zhang Jingtian: "Are you also a prospective card maker?"

"I guess so," Zhang Jingtian said, not having had time to register with the Card Makers Association yet. "I just made the cards and haven't taken the exam yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big guy Xu Qiang smelled a hint of unusual scent.

He had been a reserve card maker for three months before he had the opportunity to be promoted to the Panda Class.

But how come Zhang Jingtian can be with them just after making the cards?
"You must be kidding us!" Luo Shasha pouted. "How could we be called here right after we finished it? Do you know what we're doing here? We're in the Panda Class!"

"Even if you make a blue-quality card, it won't work if you don't even know how to manipulate it properly and don't have any practical experience!"

In fact, what Luo Shasha said was all correct, but she didn't know that Zhang Jingtian knew everything she said.

Zhang Jingtian smiled and said to Luo Shasha, "I think the teacher must have called me here for a reason."

The dean of studies and the vice principal were also in front, and Zhang Jingtian didn't want to show off too much.

So as to avoid giving these two people the impression that he is just a big talker and is impetuous and unsteady.

After they arrived at the Dean's office, the stern man finally spoke: "I didn't call you here to listen to your nonsense."

"To cut a long story short, the three of you have been promoted to the Panda Class as an exception." The Dean of Studies clapped his hands in agreement. Seeing Luo Shasha muttering, he immediately asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Luo Shasha's heart tightened, but she still asked, "How did he get into the Panda Class?"

"Does the school need to report its judgment to you?"

The dean's words completely shut Luo Shasha up.

The gentle-looking vice-principal, a gray-haired old lady, said, "We suddenly let you into the Panda Class because we are in urgent need of new recruits."

"You should know what happened at Xihu last night, right?"

The three of them nodded at the same time. Zhang Jingtian felt that the vice-principal looked at him deliberately.

Then she whispered, "Actually, last night, when you were unaware, a great battle took place above Xi Lake."

"In the end, the dispute was resolved by the president of our city's Card Creator Association, a Star Glory Card Creator."

Star Card Creator...

Zhang Jingtian was familiar with the levels of card makers: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, emerald, diamond, star, legend, and peak.

There are nine levels, and each level has five star levels.

However, among bronze card makers, the difference between one star and five stars is not big, so few people will make subdivisions.

A Star Glory Card Maker is an absolute rarity. Such a card maker could easily destroy a city with their own cards.

If he can show up, then the opponent must be very strong.

The strength of the monsters of the Scourge is divided into the same levels as the card makers, with a total of nine levels.

Therefore, they should be at least at the gold card level.

Zhang Jingtian's original body was very interested in the story of the Scourge. The last time a monster with gold card strength attacked was twenty years ago.

No wonder the school attaches so much importance to it.

"To be honest," the vice-president sighed, "both of our city's card-making academies have already entered the war preparation phase."

"And we naturally need to select more outstanding talents to provide backup forces for the Card Creator Academy."

"After comprehensive consideration, our school has determined that the three of you are suitable to join the Panda Class and participate in the high school league."

After the words fell, the three students were stunned.

High school league? They only knew that the Card Maker Academy held a college league every year to determine national subsidies and resources.

But there has never been a high school league.

"You're all familiar with the college leagues; they're essentially the same thing," the vice principal said softly. "Now, the city government actually provides the same subsidy to each of our high schools."

"But the situation is critical now. We can no longer divide the pie in the same way as before. The strong should get more resources!"

"So next March, a high school league will be held and resources will be determined based on the final rankings."

Zhang Jingtian didn't expect that he would encounter reform just after entering the Panda Class.

But he does prefer this distribution method, which can make people more motivated.

"How do you decide who will participate in the high school league?" Zhang Jingtian asked the first question after meeting the vice principal.

The other party smiled and said, "It's simple, an assessment. As for the form of the assessment, your homeroom teacher will tell you."

"In the end, there will be three people representing our school in the high school league."
