Divine Card Creator

Chapter 80: Don’t Think I Can’t Recognize You With A Vest On!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What was a restriction?

It was a kind of limiting ability.

It was originally the ability of Elementalists. One could cause a certain limiting effect with the use of energy.

However, as requirements increased, simple energy restriction abilities were unable to meet the requirement. Therefore, many restrictions began to transform.

For example—

The combination of the energy and physical aspects!

Some people would use the restrictions on stones, humans or all kinds of weapons. Therefore, there were all sorts of legends.

If one had seven stones, it would summon xx...

If one sacrificed blood, one could have xx...

If one put together a few divine weapons, one would be able to open xx...

...

All of these were related to restrictions.

Those stones, blood, divine weapons were the key factors. As for card-related restrictions, they were a type of restriction as well.

Loading...

Sealing...

Embedding...

“I have a lot to learn.”

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

His sister gave him all kinds of books, Lu Ming scanned through them and realized that he needed to work from the most basic level one Restriction Card.

Restrictions were like a separate extracurricular discipline.

If he wanted to master it, he had to start from scratch.

What was a restriction?

It could go beyond the card to set restrictions on any place.

For example—

The door in front of him.

Lu Ming released a level one Restriction Card.

The restriction would be invisible, but once someone touched it, they would notice a faint ring of light on the front door. It was like the instance dungeon portal in the games that he used to play in his previous life.

Lu Ming touched it and bounced back.

This was a level one restriction.

How could he crack it?

It was very simple.

Firstly, make use of cracking knowledge to dissipate the restrictions.

In a way, encryption and restrictions were similar. One sealed the lines on the card while the other limited things in the world.

However...

Their way of cracking was very different.

Encryption usually consisted of a core algorithm or several core algorithms. One only needed to find the corresponding cracking algorithm to crack the encryption!

What about restrictions?

Due to its uniqueness, there was no stability required!

Therefore...

A restriction usually consisted of numerous algorithms!

There was no core algorithm at all!

A restriction had hundreds of lines and there might be hundreds of algorithms!

So, the learning progress of restriction made it such that if one wanted to master level two restrictions, one had to learn all the algorithms of level one restrictions!

“Ss——”

Lu Ming gasped a breath of cold air.

H-humanities?!

As someone from the science course, what he found most annoying was memorizing the materials!

But now...

Lu Ming took a look at the number of algorithms that he had to learn for restrictions and felt a numbing sensation in his scalp.

Crap!

He understood now.

The main part about encryption was the core algorithm. It was mainly by deduction. Even if you were familiar with the algorithm, you could only get the answer through calculation!

This was a mathematics question!

This was encryption!

As for restrictions...

The algorithm was not difficult, in fact, it was very simple. It was just that there was a lot that one had to remember and one had to use the appropriate way to unlock them.

Damn!

This was the humanities!

Don’t think I can’t recognize you with a vest on!

Damn, he had transmigrated and he still could not escape from Marx’s sanctions!

“There are thousand-odd restrictions in level one...

Level two...”

Lu Ming glanced at it and sunk into despair.

He had to memorize all of them by heart!

How long would it take?

Of course.

Remembering them was just the basic stage. When he needed to crack the restrictions, he would have to draw the cards. That was the most difficult part. But for Lu Ming, drawing the cards was not a problem!

The only problem was with the foundation...

“Let’s look at the second method to crack restrictions.”

Lu Ming looked at the second method.

It was to use powerful energy to crack it by force.

Restrictions were produced by energy and had their limits!

It was different from encryption. If the encryption was destroyed, the card would be damaged. Therefore cracking encryptions was a sophisticated task. What about restrictions?

If the restriction was broken, entrance would be allowed.

Of course.

In general, the restrictions could recover energy slowly. However, if one launched a very powerful attack that was beyond its limits...

Boom!

The restriction would collapse!

This was the common practice for many cultivators.

Uh...

Lu Ming turned silent.

As a two-star Card Creator, this seemed to have nothing to do with him?

“So...

I have to memorize all of them by heart?”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

This was only the basic knowledge of restrictions!

This only formed one part of it!

“This is a headache.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

It was not that he was unwilling to memorize them, but rather it was too much to memorize!

There were thousands of algorithms. If he had to familiarize himself with them, he would have to memorize each of them and to apply them so as to master them.

The time spent...

Lu Ming’s scalp felt numb at the thought of it.

He could increase his energy level by creating cards!

But if he was occupied with this, Lu Ming would make no improvements at all in this one month!

What to do?

Learn!

Lu Ming gritted his teeth.

He knew that legacy was very powerful!

Especially—

He had searched through all kinds of information on the internet.

Basically, everyone who went into the legacy would gain huge improvements! Even if they served as support and were not the main leader, it would be very beneficial to them!

The deeper one went, the more one would gain!

“Let’s consider it as an investment.”

Lu Ming was determined.

Even if he concentrated on cultivation for one month, he might not be able to improve his energy level by a lot. After the four-star Charging Card was depleted, he would be left with no resources.

Did it have any significance for the legacy?

No!

But if he knew more about restrictions...

Lu Ming had a realization in his heart.

The more he learned about restrictions in this one month, the more he would gain from the Lunar Shadow legacy!

This was what he should do.

“I should focus all my energy on learning restrictions this month.”

Lu Ming made his decision.

However, he must learn it the clever way!

He decided to check if there were other better methods!

“I will work from the cards first.”

Lu Ming realized something.

He purchased the design plan of the first basic Restriction Card.

Well...

It was very simple.

Given Lu Ming’s card creation skills, he mastered it without any difficulty. He consumed a lot of resources to deepen his understanding of the restriction.

Afterward...

Integrate the cards!

He wanted to know if there would be any new changes after he integrated the Restriction Card.

Shush!

Seven Restriction Cards were integrated.

Buzz—

The card surface changed.

The front side...

The single circular barrier that looked like an entrance resembled a spider web, with a hint of fluorescence and a sense of mystery.

The back...

The lines had changed.

The original simple basic lines had become complex. However, Lu Ming did not see any difficult core techniques. There were only fixed technique lines.

He tried to create the card.

Test.

Ding—

——

Card Type: Restriction Card

Card Level: one-star

——

Swoosh!

Lu Ming released it toward his bedroom door.

Buzz—

Faint fluorescent lights appeared.

There was a restriction that was covered by a blinking cross grid on the bedroom, adding a sense of mystery to it. Lu Ming tried to crack it but to no avail!

The restriction was very strong!

It was at the highest limit of a one-star level!

No!

It might be even higher.

Lu Ming was certain.

However, it could not help in cracking it!

Lu Ming studied the lines carefully. He tried to look at it from the opposite way and the usual way. But he only managed to slightly optimize the level one restriction.

True enough.

Lu Ming was disappointed.

Cracking...

Was that what everybody else did?

Lu Ming remembered that his school also had some classes on restrictions.

“Xiaopang.”

“Do you know anyone who studied restrictions?”

Lu Ming made a phone call to Zhang Xiaopang.

“I do.”

Zhang Xiaopang said, “We have all kinds of vocations in our school.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Why did this sound weird?

“How is their cultivation progress?” Lu Ming asked.

“Let me check.”

Zhang Xiaopang called back after a while. “I have checked, in general, the students have reached level one. At present, the person who is most skilled is a year four student. The student has studied it for four years and has passed the ‘Level Two Restriction Professional Certification Exam’.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

People could get certifications for this?

Many students sat for exams and received certifications as their jobs required it. Lu Ming did not care about it at all.

However...

A Year four student!

Had just passed level two!

And the student was considered the fastest learner!

This type of learning had nothing to do with talents!

Lu Ming’s heart sank.

He did not think that he was smarter than thousands of other students. He had to admit that one had to spend a lot of time on the study of restrictions!

“This won’t do.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

Although Lu Yan’s intention was for him to see the world, Lu Ming had different opinions. He could not waste such a good opportunity.

He had to gain from the legacy this time!

Before that, he hoped to become stronger!

But now...

He did not seem to have other methods.

Were there other quicker ways?

Of course, there were!

There were some potions that could enhance one’s memory within a short period of time, such that one remembered everything that one had seen. However, the price and the side effects were too shocking.

—Snow Medicine: improve thinking skills, lasts for one hour. Side effects: slip into a temporary state of mental weakness within seven days.

—Huge Walnut Medicine: improve brain functions, lasts for half a day. Side effects: memory loss when the medicine is no longer effective.

—Te Luo Bi Medicine: greatly improves memory, lasts for a day. Side effects: Total hair loss.

Lu Ming was speechless.

In his previous life...

As a programmer who worked like a dog, performing testing and maintenance for a certain novel website, he had the honor to look at the chat history of those legendary authors...

All they talked about was health, hair transplant, ways to strengthen their waists and more.

It was so pathetic.

They were in a much more miserable state than the programmers who worked like dogs!

This was the result of overtaxing the brain!

These medicines...

He supposed that they would have such side effects.

Lu Ming took a closer look, he dared not use these potions. It was not easy to have hair in this life, he did not wish to suffer from hair loss!

All the medicine would drain and hurt his body!

It was meaningless.

Well...

He had to think of other methods.

Lu Ming rubbed his head, pulling at his fairly thick hair.

Fortunately...

He still had his hair.
