Who told him to make the cards!

He could tell that the young man had a very solid foundation.

Although he didn't quite understand the ancient structure, the stability and fluency of his brushstrokes surpassed that of most card makers. As long as his mental strength could keep up, advancing to the third rank would be a natural progression.

"It's not a pity, at least we learned from the experience," Chen Zhi said with a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The examiner gave Chen Zhi a business card. "If you want to take the certification exam again, you can give me a call and I'll reserve a spot for you."

"it is good."

Chen Zhi was struck by the reality of this world.

Those with exceptional talent receive treatment that sets them apart from ordinary people, no matter where they go.

Shen Qinglian probably gave him a card case and a card-making pen for that reason.

After leaving the Card Makers Association, Chen Zhi returned to the academy to collect his white card, and then followed the navigation to the card-making branch 800 meters away.

The plaque above the entrance has an antique feel.

It's finally not that sci-fi feeling anymore; instead, it has a bit of an ancient private school vibe.

The courtyard is also in the style of a traditional courtyard house, but the buildings are not as old and are closer to the appearance of the old city.

It is said that this was a request from the former dean of Qinggong Academy.

He doesn't care about other majors, but when it comes to card making, everyone has to listen to him. He wants students to remember the origins of cards while learning about modern card games.

Chen Zhilai's purpose here is not for modern structures.

He will still listen to what the old Grand Tutor says.

At this particular time, this was the only professional class he could catch.

Advanced Card Game Theory

Just listen to it for what it is.

Chen Zhi thought to himself, since it's a theory class, it probably won't teach too much about structure.

There are specialized courses on card deck construction.

If there's a risk of being "contaminated," he'll simply plug in his headphones to watch the movie.

Enjoy watching movies set in other worlds.

As it turns out, Chen Zhi's choice was correct.

Although the instructor used a model of a modern structure, it was only used as an example.

Because Chen Zhi entered the school at the end of the academic year, the courses were all relatively late in the curriculum. However, it was precisely because of this that he was able to learn a lot.

"We all know that a complete legal reason consists of three parts."

"Form, effect, and law".

"None of the three can be missing."

"But today, I want to tell you that they can be separated."

"I'll still use the simplest example, 'fire,' to illustrate this point."

"The 'form' of fire is often depicted as swaying in the wind, and its color is red. I believe everyone is familiar with the patterns that represent this 'form,' so what would happen if I removed it from the structure?"

"Could it be a colorless, transparent Fallen Heart Flame?" a student exclaimed excitedly. "I absolutely love strange flames!"

“Wrong.” The mentor poured cold water on the argument, saying, “If you remove the patterns that represent ‘form,’ this principle will disappear.”

"The remaining 'effects' and 'laws' cannot exist independently; the energy they contain will dissipate instantly and return to nature."

"This is the most basic legal knowledge. How could you answer it wrong? Go back and copy it from the book today and hand it to me in the next class."

"..."

A burst of laughter erupted in the classroom.

The mentor continued, "It can't be dismantled. Once the legal principles are established, they cannot be changed."

“But we can approach it from another angle: when making the cards, we can avoid depicting these patterns.”

"At this point, we come back to the problem we just discussed. A structure that lacks a 'form' cannot function, so we need to use another 'form' to complete it."

"If this shape is the shape of 'water,' then can we obtain a flame in the form of flowing water?"

"Lava?" someone exclaimed.

“That’s right,” the tutor said, “but not entirely.”

"Magma also requires additional mudstone structures."

“If we follow the same pattern, this time we’ll keep the ‘form’ of fire, but replace the ‘effect’ of fire with the ‘effect’ of ice. What will we get?”

"A flame so small it can freeze someone and give them a cold?"

"Yes." The tutor nodded with satisfaction, then reminded him, "But this is only theoretical."

"In actual operation, all sorts of difficult problems may arise."

"I'm saying this to tell you that the basic structure is not the smallest unit for designing card patterns."

"No matter how a structure is replaced or integrated, as long as it possesses form, effect, and law, it has the potential to exist."

"Of course, disassembling the structure is a very difficult task."

"It's not only time-consuming and mentally taxing, but also expensive."

Whether the modified structure will be effective and whether the effect will meet expectations can only be known when it is implemented on the white card.

This falls under the category of scientific research and has a professional name: Jurisprudence Engineering.

Ordinary families cannot afford this expense.

"So what I just said, you only need to understand it appropriately and keep it in mind as a knowledge point, as it may be tested at the end of the year."

"Next, let's talk about the advanced representation of the basic elements."

……

Chen Zhi sat in the last row, frantically taking notes.

It turns out that the principle of form and effect in legal theory can be broken down!

This means that fire is no longer fire, and wind is no longer wind.

After Old Man Meng's explanation of the Destiny Card opened a new world for him, Chen Zhi felt as if another door had been opened for him.

What if a water arrow card looks like water, feels like water, but turns out to be sulfuric acid disguised as water?

It will cost a lot of money.

The difficulty of disassembling the structure far exceeds that of making the card.

Chen Zhi even sensed a hint of genetic modification in it.

But sorry, what he has no shortage of is experimental materials.

He happened to have an order in hand.

Second-order device card.

Then let's use you as the test subject, beautiful Holy Maiden.

Chapter 45 Lilith

A simple card theory lesson proved to be very beneficial to Chen Zhi.

The fact that the principle of form and effect in legal theory can be deconstructed and replaced is only one aspect.

Another important point is that this method can also significantly reduce the "weight" of the structure.

The cards people use today, even the simplest ones, have more than one structure.

In normal discussions, substructures are generally not discussed. They are relatively simple and usually exist independently of the main structure, so they are assumed to be error-free.

After attending this class, Chen Zhi had a new idea.

Take a marble as an example.

Imagine someone needs a marble coated with chocolate and made of tempered glass.

Because of the different materials used, in such cases, the card maker can only design the structure of the chocolate and glass separately, connect them together through patterns, and then connect them with the Tafel interface and reset button to form a closed loop.

If the deconstruction method is used, it is only necessary to design the complete structure of the glass ball, and then replace the surface "effect" and "law" with the "effect" and "law" of the chocolate, thus saving the space of the entire chocolate "shape" and eliminating the need to spend extra effort on nesting.

This is equivalent to indirectly increasing the carrying capacity of the white card.

When applied to combat, a situation arises:

Everyone has the same card, the same name, the same level, and all have reached their capacity limit.

But my card is more powerful than yours, and may even have one more effect.

Chen Zhi no longer cared about the tuition fees.

These 54 towers are worthwhile.
