My Card Beast Taming Game

There is a clear hierarchy among teachers and students, upper and lower grades, and school team members and ordinary students, with the overall goal of producing talent under high pressure.

Shen Du Academy is relatively neutral, with low requirements for ordinary students and no direct supervising teachers or classes; it has high requirements for students who are particularly interested, and one-on-one guidance is common; it will not arbitrarily deduct resources from students, but it will not give resources indiscriminately either.

We encourage all forms of healthy competition, pursue results, and value the mentor-apprentice relationship.

Shanghai University is the most liberal, supporting students to acquire resources and grow themselves as much as possible within reasonable limits. It encourages students to trade freely, open shops to make money, and often signs various performance-based contracts with students.

They even created some kind of credit stock market, which drove students crazy.

Lu Qingning couldn't stand the school spirit of Tiandu Academy and hated going to Shanghai, where the Shen family was, so she ultimately chose Shendu Academy.

Han Baobao summarized the situation of the three major hospitals into three sentences—

They oppress you, ignore you, and exploit you.

The incident where the Star-Questioning Parrot ordered four hundred students to run laps is a rare occurrence at Shen Du Academy; previously, only students on the school team would be punished.

After the weekend, the long campus life once again took over the daily routines of all students.

Zhou Chen thought that with the title of "jinx," his classmates would avoid him, but to his surprise, more and more people approached him instead.

"Zhou Chen, what were those last ten seconds when you beat Xuanshan?"

"You and Lu Qingning are practically the two fierce rivals of our first-year class... no, the two heroes!"

"Thanks to the two of you, the older students rarely bother us anymore, for fear of a third one."

"Is someone else causing you trouble? Go ahead and report them to the disciplinary inspection department!"

"No, it's so embarrassing to tattle, you're not a primary school student!"

Zhou Chen replied intermittently until Kaori Utsunomiya and Mei Xian arrived.

This lesson was another one from the Secret Realm Academy, and it was about "The Anatomy Secrets," which taught how to completely dissect and process monster materials.

He learns this mainly for the subsequent practical courses, which reportedly involve bringing in a lot of gold-grade materials for students to process a second time, and the better students will even be able to work with platinum-grade materials.

—It is said that platinum-grade materials are extremely corrosive to the human body, and only junior card masters are qualified to dissect them.

After class, Zhou Chen was stopped by Ji Xue, the anatomy teacher who had given the lecture.

"Any interest in dissecting a secret realm lord? A gold-tier lord in a small secret realm has awakened."

She asked with a smile.

Zhou Chen asked in surprise, "Can I?"

"Of course you can. That team specifically asked you to go, saying that if the card is successfully made, you will get 10% of the profits."

Ji Xue replied, "The money and credits might not be much, it depends on whether you agree or not."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chen asked, "When is it?"

"It's uncertain. That team is rather inexperienced and may not be able to clear the dungeon boss on their first try."

Ji Xue shook her head. "You may not know this, but there's a rule in the Divine Capital Academy for hunting down secret realm lords: only teams whose members are all at the same level as the secret realm lord are allowed to participate."

Zhou Chen thought to himself, no wonder they were only dissecting the secret realm lords instead of watching them hunt them down. How long did it take the Hua family's school team to conquer them?

A week?

It seems like it's been almost two weeks.

"Don't worry, Dean Shang Zun has already prepared a leave slip for you. Just show it to the teacher when he contacts you."

Ji Xue patted Zhou Chen's shoulder lightly, then left with the textbooks.

The one-horned Chow Chow chuckled, "You're really popular! All three branches of the Divine Capital Academy are throwing themselves at you!"

"That's ridiculous..."

Zhou Chen was speechless.

But what the Chow Chow said was true; the parrots at the Sports Academy already considered him a member of the school team, and the Secret Realm Academy also extended an olive branch at this moment.

It can only be said that Shen Du Academy truly values ​​talented students.

However, just a few days later, news came from Lu Qingning's side—

She's going to challenge the head of the student council's administration department.

"At this time?" Zhou Chen was a little surprised. He knew that the Star-Questioning Parrot had just lost its temper, and three student council ministers had been in trouble. Wasn't this like walking into a trap?

Chapter 184: Global Attention (38/121)

The student union has five departments in total.

The department consists of the Publicity Department, the Sports Department, the Discipline Inspection Department, the Administration Department, and the Learning Department.

The Academic Affairs Department is in charge of the academic affairs of ordinary students, such as tutoring and making up exams for failed courses.

The administration department oversees the entire student union and also handles a range of logistical tasks.

Of the five ministers, only the Minister of Publicity is a woman; the other four are all men, including the Minister of Administration who is facing off against Lu Qingning.

This person is named Wen Zhaoce, a fourth-year student at the Secret Realm Academy. His core spirit card is named Star Swirl Giant Ostrich, belonging to the Light element, and he wields the spirit artifact [Starlight Feather].

The special effect is to intermittently grant the Stardust Giant Ostrich a ray of starlight. The additional active skill is [Stardust Isolation], which uses starlight to create a shield to resist attacks. Before the starlight shield is broken, any attribute attack of the same level will be greatly reduced.

This includes Netherfire and Water Fiend, which can inflict continuous damage.

Overall, this is an extremely rare spirit card that leans towards the support role, but its output capability is also quite impressive, so Wen Zhaoce designated it as a core card.

The place where Lu Qingning was fighting was a bit far from Zhou Chen's classroom. When he arrived, the fight between the two had already lasted for a long time.

There were still many students watching.

Because people have discovered that the so-called 100-kilometer distance is not difficult for novice drivers, and it does not really take up too much of their rest or meditation time.

Some people even got addicted to running and hoped that the star parrot could make them run again, so they came to the scene fearlessly.

Of course, some people just came to join in the fun because they hadn't experienced it before.

The students of Shen Du Yuan really love to join in the fun, perhaps because their daily school life is too boring.

As for why they don't run voluntarily, the explanation on the forum is that running without a reason doesn't feel right.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but complain that this group of people were like both silly roe deer and donkeys, with a strong sense of curiosity and unwilling to move without being whipped.

Masochists should go to Tiandu Academy, where they run exercises every day and can have a good time.

If you love joining in the fun, go to the Shanghai University campus, invest two credits in the credit stock market, and the next day you'll learn the secret to quickly getting downstairs.

What are you doing at Shen Du Yuan?

He tried to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers, and thanks to his reputation as a jinx, many people were willing to give him a place to stand.

Zhou Chen quickly took in the scene before him—the Netherflame Lion was chasing a giant ostrich with deep blue downy feathers and stars on its head, spewing flames wildly.

The Star-Spinning Giant Ostrich ran around frantically, occasionally spreading its wings to unleash azure starlight at the Dark Flame Lion, but the latter always managed to dodge it with Shadow Lurker.

And its star-like tail feathers continue to gather starlight.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the battle lasted too long, the Starlight Shield was shattered by the Netherflame before the starlight could fully converge, and the Netherflame Lion seized the opportunity to bite its slender neck.

Mmm, crunchy chicken flavor.

"How long has it been going on?"

Zhou Chen came to Han Baobao and Mei Xian's side.

Han Baobao said, "About fifteen minutes? Anyway, this ostrich shield is really thick, it keeps opening every now and then, it's really annoying."

Is this another protracted war?

He looked around but did not see the Star-Seeking Parrot.

Didn't they come?

"I've learned my lesson."

"I appreciate your concession."

Inside the arena, Wen Zhaoce and Lu Qingning bowed to each other, neither of them showing any signs of tension, as if it were just a normal sparring match.

After the fight, Wen Zhaoce led the other students from the administration department to retreat.

The students who had been watching waited in vain for the star-shaped parrot and left disappointed.

The unicorn chow said, "Chongxuan is preparing a new training plan. If Li Feijin advances smoothly this year, it will be a very promising year for Shendu Academy. We will definitely raise the overall competitive level of the team so that no one will hold us back."

"Many people performed terribly the other day, which really upset the Star Parrot. They've been discussing in the academy these past two days about using the competitive academy to test the Tiandu Academy's training model for two months."

Zhou Chen: "And then?"

"It was rejected. The academic policy of Shen Du Academy hasn't changed for decades, so it won't be changed easily. In the end, it's been too many years since we won the championship, and many people have gotten used to it and feel that it doesn't matter. Anyway, Shen Du Academy is still one of the top three academies."

The Chow Chow spoke calmly, as if recounting someone else's story: "'The Myriad Laws Sect didn't start out through competitions. It's normal that we can't beat others. We just need to hold our ground in the array.' That's what many people think."

It's true that Shen Du Yuan has never underperformed in formation-based competitions.

but.

Do people really not care?

Obviously not.

At least the students of Shendu Academy all hope that the school team can win the championship, and none of the team members have any intention of just loafing around.

The beginner level is too insignificant; they remain at the bottom of the card master world.

In this world that is incredibly cruel to the weak, the Youth Championship is the only stage where they can roar to the world and prove that they were truly here.

Perhaps one day they will become powerful card masters, or perhaps one day they will die in some nameless corner.

But people will always remember the young people who passed through countless trials to step onto that stage.

Let the world see!

This is the core theme of the National Youth Championship, and the reason why it attracts thousands of schools to participate year after year, even if they can only play a supporting role.

"Go for it, Zhou Chen! I'm waiting for you to bring the trophy and medal back."

The Chow Chow grinned, “The chosen ones should shine brightly, not grow up quietly. With us here, let your voice ring out. Don’t be a withdrawn child anymore.”

Zhou Chen looked at it with a puzzled expression. "Am I reclusive?"

The Chow Chow tilted its head. "A person who spends ten hours a day hiding at home, I don't know what word to use to describe him except for reclusiveness."

"..."

How can Zhou Chen explain his ability to increase his mental strength by running dungeons?

Forget it.

Do not explain.

He opened his phone and called for a carriage, saying, "Go home and practice the array formation."

-

Three more days passed.

It's the weekend again.

The arena returned to its former bustling state, but the jinx did not arrive.

Has the no-prize race ended so quickly?

Many people were quite disappointed.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Chen was being led by his anatomy professor, Ji Xue, in a pterosaur towards the deepest part of the secret realm.

"Can you adapt?"

"can."

He opened his mouth to respond, but quickly swallowed a mouthful of air and immediately closed his mouth again.

Ji Xue smiled gently.

Despite looking only in her early thirties, she is actually over sixty. Because she was promoted to a senior position early, the effect of delaying aging is very strong.

Unfortunately, further advancement is extremely difficult, and many people are forced to stop at the advanced card master level, and Ji Xue is no exception.

A short while later.
