Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 208 Two Obedient Disciples

"Indeed, especially for us ordinary spirit tamers, the cost-effectiveness is too high!"

"The fighting power of the ghost soldiers is by no means weak."

"If one person can form an army, what's the point of having other scrolls?"

"The only downside is that ten fragments can only be exchanged for the lowest-level Yin Soldier. To get a higher-level Yin Soldier, you need more Yin Soldier fragments to synthesize it."

"I've already sold the other scrolls I had, and I'm ready to fight the ghost soldiers to the death."

While the vast number of Yin Shuai fans were celebrating, the fans of the Ghost King next door were already drooling with envy.

After all, they currently have no way to acquire ghost soldiers and demons.

It's not really worthwhile to specifically draw cards for ghost soldiers.

As a result, many people posted petitions, hoping that Xue Lingling's Ghost King series would also be included in the gacha system.

This way, they can upgrade the Ghost King Scroll and also collect some ghost soldiers along the way.

Xue Lingling, who was still feeling down, naturally saw the strong requests from her fans, and was both amused and exasperated.

"What are we going to do now?" Xue Lingling looked at Wu Xian with annoyance.

The key ghost soldiers are the club's common property, the result of the club members' hard work in capturing and transforming ghosts. Now that Wu Xian has sold so many troops, shouldn't he give something back?

Otherwise, the club's subsequent operations will definitely run into problems.

Fortunately, Wu Xian had already come up with a solution. "Don't worry, a portion of the revenue from the card-drawing system has already been allocated to the operations account. When members capture and hand over the Yin Soldiers, they can directly exchange them for contribution points."

The cycle works perfectly, and with the addition of outpost tickets, even more and more fans will join in the future.

"Really?" Xue Lingling asked in surprise, glancing at the operating account.

Then I was stunned by the terrifying amount that was still growing in the operating account.

"Wow...this...this much money?"

Wu Xian smiled without saying a word. This is nothing; the bulk of it is in his account, hehe.

"No way~ how can there be so much money?" Xue Lingling couldn't understand.

"It can only be said that you are completely unaware of the allure of the gold coins and the money-making potential of disguised gambling."

Xue Lingling studied the matter for a long time with a strange expression, and finally figured it out.

Compared to the normal sales method, the gacha system, while providing fun, is essentially a full-payment pre-order.

A large amount of funds can be raised in advance with just a "blank check".

In contrast, with the normal sales method, you only need to pay a deposit to place an order, and you can only receive the balance after the order is delivered.

Therefore, Wu Xian has essentially received the money for a large number of orders in advance.

Although a large portion of the funds in the account is for future painting costs, this real cash flow is substantial.

If they donated money and ran away, tsk tsk, I don't even want to think about it!

Of course, they certainly wouldn't run away.

"How about we include my Ghost King series as well?" Xue Lingling asked, intrigued.

“No,” Wu Xian quickly waved his hand, “It would be difficult to keep track of the accounts if they were mixed together. If you are really interested, the network department can develop a separate card pool for you.”

Just kidding. The reason why gacha systems are so good at making money these days is mainly because of the allure of their gold tickets and their strong fan base.

The master sister snuck in; isn't she just trying to ride his coattails?

Moreover, it would be difficult to divide the profits later.

The saying goes, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts," and the same applies to close teachers and students.

"That seems to be the case."

Xue Lingling nodded thoughtfully, then turned and ran towards the network department.

Soon after, they began posting job openings for the network department, preparing to expand the team.

Wu Xian then arrived at the studio that had been set up specifically for Tang Beng.

After exchanging information with Tang Beng about the Autobot scroll, he turned to look at his two obedient disciples. Both were high school seniors, a boy named Chen Xu and a girl named Yao Xue'er. They came from ordinary families, so they valued this opportunity to change their fate very much.

"Teacher, you are here."

Among them, Chen Xu belongs to the type who is meticulous and can make up for his lack of talent through hard work.

Yao Xueer, on the other hand, belongs to the type who has a certain talent for painting scrolls.

Both of them have the ability to cultivate spiritual power and will become his followers in the future.

"Hmm," Wu Xian nodded and smiled, "How are the Ten Great Underworld Marshals figuring things out?"

"I've managed to do it, but the success rate isn't quite up to par," Chen Xu replied obediently.

Yao Xueer, standing to the side, seemed a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, teacher, I... I might still be lacking."

"No rush, take your time," Wu Xian smiled kindly. "Also, you're only at level one spiritual power, so spend more time in the cultivation chamber and improve your spiritual power cultivation as soon as possible."

"Good teacher."

As Wu Xian chuckled, he picked up a sketch next to Yao Xue'er, which was clearly not a sketch of the Ten Great Yin Marshals.

Upon seeing this, Yao Xueer lowered her head nervously, as if she had made a mistake.

“It’s alright~ It’s normal to have your own ideas and thoughts,” Wu Xian said nonchalantly. “As apprentices of scroll painters, you will eventually have to forge your own paths in the future.”

Hearing this, Yao Xueer breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, teacher."

"Speaking of which, you must have gotten your inspiration for this sketch from the Ten Underworld Marshals, right?" Wu Xian looked at the sketch in his hand with great interest, clearly seeing some influences from the Ten Underworld Marshals and the Underworld.

But it's clearly not a ghost-themed concept; you can vaguely see a hint of a Yaksha.

With proper guidance and training, the Yaksha race might truly be perfected and enriched.

In comparison, Chen Xu, standing to the side, seemed rather mediocre.

But often, mediocrity is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Xiao Chen, do you have any ideas of your own?" Wu Xian asked with a smile, looking at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I have had some ideas recently, but they are not yet fully formed."

Wu Xian smiled and continued to instruct the two before leaving.

Yesterday I received a match notification from the league. There's a match to play tonight, which will be my debut in the Gold League.

I wonder what kind of opponents I'll encounter.

While patiently waiting for the competition to begin, I also watched some videos of the Tianfeng Province Gold Rank League, which left a deep impression on me.

As Xue Zhengying said, veteran players are far superior to newcomers in terms of both competition experience and the level of skill they have in creating their main scrolls.

Fortunately, the league's format takes this into account. Veteran players rarely participate in individual point-based matches anymore; their main battleground is usually the [Hero Tower].

In the individual points competition, most of the participants are newcomers within the last three years, as well as some relatively mediocre "veteran" players.

But that doesn’t mean you won’t encounter those strong veteran players in the league.

On the one hand, veteran players occasionally participate in the points-based tournament to ensure they don't drop in rank.

On the other hand, the Gold Rank League is not just an individual points competition, but also has a very important system of interdimensional raids.

To put it simply, it will release some otherworldly conquest missions, where new and old players will compete on the same stage.

Players from different clubs can accept the same task.

Whoever completes the task objective first gets the rewards and points, so competition is inevitable.

For a club to be promoted to a gold medal club, it will need to accumulate enough defeat points.

Wu Xian logged into the official website of the League of Legends tournament and took a look. There were many different kinds of missions, and each mission displayed the number of people currently performing the mission in real time.

The task difficulty is divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards and points, and the more intense the competition.

It is said that there is also a special task every month, which puts the top clubs on the same stage to compete.
