Who told him to make the cards!

For the onlookers, this is part of their daily lives.

That's the good thing about watching chess.

It doesn't cost any money, and no matter who wins or loses, there's always something to watch.

On the other hand, this young man is indeed formidable.

"Damn, bro."

"You're the first person to be able to drive Old Man Li away."

Everyone gave Chen Zhi a thumbs up and showered him with praise.

Chen Zhi was a little embarrassed by this.

In fact, many of them had very limited knowledge about card making and couldn't see anything special about it. They only knew that Chen Zhi only needed one stroke to make the cards, and that they were extremely visually appealing.

But to the young man who had previously lost to Old Man Li, only two words remained on his face:

Damn it!

Although all the pieces are Tier 1 cards.

However, even first-order cards have a structure and potential pitfalls that can lead to errors.

It's already incredible to finish in one stroke, how could it be so fast?

Most importantly, the way this person holds the pen, and the brushstrokes and techniques used to depict the strokes, do not belong to any mainstream school.

But ironically, the structural forms he drew were all mainstream structural forms.

Moreover, they were all the same ones he and Old Man Li had used in their previous matches.

So, he understood and mastered the structure drawn by him and Old Li through watching the game for only about half an hour, and then used his own methods to complete the final connection.

Upon realizing this possibility, the young man was momentarily stunned.

Can you learn something just by watching?

Is this guy even human?

By the time he came to his senses and intended to get to know Chen Zhi and become friends, Chen Zhi had already disappeared.

……

He had already entered the pedestrian street next door and was receiving compliments from a young girl.

"Brother Chen, you're amazing!"

"How big?"

"So big!"

Zhou Keke opened her arms.

Chen Zhi coughed lightly twice: "It's not that exaggerated."

"There are some!"

Zhou Keke was so excited that she danced around, walking in front of Chen Zhi and imitating the way Old Man Li slunk away. Then she circled back and giggled, "I never thought Old Man Li would have a day like this."

Chen Zhidao said, "He's actually quite capable."

In other words, it's a Tier 1 card that allows you to take advantage of your talent.

"If he uses second-tier pieces, I probably can't beat him."

"Be modest!" Zhou Keke didn't believe it.

Chen Zhi smiled and offered no further explanation.

Zhou Keke continued, "To be honest, Brother Chen, I really didn't expect you to be so good at making cards."

Who would believe that a card maker who came from the mining area could outmaneuver Old Man Li, a formally employed card maker?

"Brother Chen, can you give me a heads-up?" Zhou Keke blinked and said, "Are you a Transcendent-level expert?"

"It's not that high."

"Is that an array?"

"more or less."

Chen Zhixue blinked at her: "Are you a little disappointed?"

"How could that be?" Zhou Keke was not disappointed at all; instead, her eyes showed admiration. "To reach this level at the array level, one must have put in a lot of effort and hard work."

"The conditions in the mining area are so harsh, yet you have to go down into the mine to dig ore and also practice making cards. Doesn't that prove that Brother Chen is a very capable person?"

Chen Zhi was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Old Zhou's precious daughter has such a sweet tongue.

Zhou Keke stretched out her hand again: "Brother Chen, give me your ID card, I'll transfer the money to you."

Chen Zhi shook his head: "No need, you can keep it."

“That won’t do,” Zhou Keke said. “We agreed to split it in half.”

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll transfer it all to me."

Zhou Keke: "..."

Oops, I've been seen through.

But she still wants to turn around!

However, Chen Zhi completely ignored this comment.

He has already gained something.

Six basic structures that were not previously seen in mining areas.

For Chen Zhi, this was far more valuable than the 750 towers.

Having spent so much time with Zhou Keke tonight, he had a preliminary estimate of the cost of living in Tianhengjing.

It costs about 3000 towers a month.

He'll probably stay at Old Zhou's house for a few more days; consider the 750 yuan as living expenses.

No matter what Zhou Keke said, or even how she acted coquettishly, shaking his arm, Chen Zhi ignored her.

The girl puffed out her cheeks in anger and had no choice but to give up for the time being.

……

"Is the outer ring new city just ahead?"

On the way, Chen Zhi casually bought a map.

Tianhengjing is quite large, comprising thirteen districts including the old city, with a total urban construction area of ​​over 7000 square kilometers. Parts of Hengxin Island are counted separately.

Zhou Keke said, "Strictly speaking, once you leave the old city, you enter the outer ring new city."

"It's just that some of the card spreads haven't been changed yet."

"Oh." Chen Zhi nodded, then asked, "Are there any cell phone shops around here?"

Zhou Keke tilted her head: "A cell phone?"

Chen Zhi gestured a couple of times: "It's something that can communicate."

“That’s called a Qingxun machine, Brother Chen,” Zhou Keke corrected with a smile. “If I remember correctly, there’s one up ahead, no more than 300 meters away.”

"OK, let's go."

There are several brands of Qingxun machines.

The shop the two went to was called "Lingxi".

It shares the same name as the network operator service provider.

This is the most popular Qingxun machine brand in Tianhengjing. It is produced in cooperation with the factory of "Qinggong Vision Company" under Qinggong Academy and Baita Group. The quality is top-notch in the industry. It is said that someone once used this brand of Qingxun machine to kill a small disaster beast.

"Qingxunji, Qingshiwang, Qingshijing..."

Chen Zhi noticed that all the good items had the character "青" (qing) in their names. "Are they all related to the Qing Palace Academy?"

"It's not just about that."

When Zhou Keke answered Chen Zhi's questions, there was a hint of pride in her tone.

Both the Qingxun Machine and the Qingshi Network are modern products, born during the eighth, most recent, legal revolution of the empire.

The leader of this revolution was the Seigaku Academy.

During an exploration operation in collaboration between the academy and the Ring Star Institute, the card-making team discovered a completely new mineral.

It is transparent in color, like glass, and has layers of flakes, making it easy to mistake for some kind of shale.

After repeated testing and experiments, the research team confirmed that this mineral has an extremely high information carrying capacity. Even without any treatment, the mark you leave in one crystal will magically appear in multiple other crystals. Therefore, it was named "Qingshi Crystal".

“Knowledge” represents “effectiveness”.

“晶” represents “shape”.

The concept of "law" is still under study.
