And that was still only the most basic form of attack.
Chen Mu was like a starving wolf that had seen delicious food. His eyes were emitting a fiery glow, which was totally different from his usual calm demeanor. Lu Xiaoru's heart was in a mess as she watched him, thinking there was something wrong with her card.
The Sound Beam was a very powerful card, but its form of attack was rather simple, which was determined by its principles.
Chen Mu guessed there were two keys to the Sound Beam card. One was probably to use perception to pluck the two energy reeds. That seemingly simple plucking must have contained a lot of changes.
The other key was probably the shape, size, thickness, and so on of the energy reeds.
But Chen Mu was a complete layman when it came to temperament. Even if he knew the key, he still wouldn't be able to play out the changes.
Still, he had his own methods.
Summoning up all the perception in his body, Chen Mu plucked the two energy reeds hard.
The two energy reeds looked as though they had been pulled apart by two big hands to an exaggerated degree, and then they suddenly loosened.
Pow!
The chair in front of him suddenly exploded, and the table behind it exploded. Wood shavings flew everywhere in the living room!
The wall behind the table had been blown up into a fist-sized hole, with spiderweb-like cracks all around it.
Through the hole in the wall, he could see a hole in the closet behind the wall had been blown up. The velvet quilt on the big bed behind the closet had also abruptly exploded, and the soft down fluttered wantonly in the room.
Lu Xiaoru was dumbstruck.
The Sound Beam had been in her hands for quite a few years, and no one was clearer than she was about the power of that card.
As she saw it, it could only be considered a surprise victory, and its own power wasn't worth mentioning.
Once the enemy was on guard or had seen the card, she would have to rely on other means to win.
But it was very unconventional, and there were very few people who wouldn't fall for it the first time.
In her hands, the Sound Beam had never displayed such enormous power. How had he done it?
Her gaze toward Chen Mu had abruptly become fiery.
Wei-ah only glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze. She didn't know what he was thinking.
Chen Mu was shaking his head to himself. His perception still wasn't strong enough.
Just then, he had mobilized all the perception in his body to pluck the two energy reeds, but he still hadn't reached the limits of the two energy reeds.
In other words, this was far from the greatest power of the [Sound Beam].
His method didn't require much skill. No one would use all of their perception to launch an attack in the middle of a battle.
However, it was enough to excite Lu Xiaoru.
From the moment she obtained the card until now, she knew very little about it.
Unlike Chen Mu, she couldn't speculate from the principles of the card.
She could only keep trying, but up until now, her gains were pitifully small.
Chen Mu turned off his apparatus and took out the Sound Beam, which didn't suit him.
If he wanted to specialize in it, it meant that he had to first learn temperament and find the pattern of sound production.
For the Sound Beam to fall into the hands of a card artisan proficient in temperament, the power it could display would certainly be astonishing.
But among card artisans, how many were proficient in temperament?
This also meant that it was destined to be an unpopular card.
He did not intend to relearn a piece of knowledge just because of a card.
His time was extremely tight, so how could he find the time to learn a subject from scratch?
Lu Xiaoru looked impatiently at Chen Mu, looking like a docile and well-behaved kitten.
Seeing Lu Xiaoru's longing gaze, Chen Mu thought about it and said to her, "Come here."
Lu Xiaoru was overjoyed and rushed over to Chen Mu's side.
But she wasn't sitting casually on the carpet like Chen Mu and Wei-ah. Instead, she was half-kneeling with her hands crossed on her thighs and her upper body straight.
Her straight back and her buttocks, which were bent over her calves, formed a soul-stirring curve.
"There are two key points about this card..."
Lu Xiaoru sat upright like a student, listening to him with rapt attention.
Chen Mu being willing to tell her about the mysteries of the [Sound Beam] was far beyond her expectations.
Never mind their positions, even if they were best friends, no one would tell each other as calmly as Chen Mu did.
For a card artisan, his understanding of his own card was the foundation and foundation of his power.
If he didn't understand his card, he wouldn't be able to display its power.
Not to mention being able to optimize and adjust the energy body emitted by the card.
She was used to seeing all kinds of ways of the world and knew how rare such an opportunity was. She listened very carefully, afraid to miss a detail.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he saw Lu Xiaoru looking down in thought. He didn't disturb her and walked straight to the side.
Although the [Sound Beam] didn't suit him, it still gave him a lot of inspiration.
Before then, he had never thought that sound waves could be used as a weapon.
It could be said that he had gained a lot and had broadened his horizons.
Just then, Bu Qiangdong called out to Chen Mu again.
The terms had already been finalized at seven million.
But, they were also very demanding. It had to be completed within two days. Seven million included 20 sets of finished products, with an extra half a million for each additional set.
There wasn't much else to the advertisement except that it had to have a strong impact, a very strong impact.
When Chen Mu received the details of the advertisement, he suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What their adversary wanted to advertise was a card and equipment that could be used for communication in the jungle.
Speaking of which, wasn't the communication array and the thousand-kilometer card in his possession what the Central Continent was targeting him?
But, he quickly sorted out his emotions. He was short on money, or rather, extremely short on money!
Seven million was very important to him just then, which was why he hadn't hesitated to take the business, even though the adversary was the Central Island Firm.
Apart from that, they didn't have any other hard and fast conditions.
That was to say, they only wanted to see the final effect of the fantasy card advertisement and didn't care what kind of creativity the fantasy card advertisement actually used.
However, two days' time was extremely tight!
Of those two days, Chen Mu actually only had one day's time.
On the other day, they still had to make up a specialized sound card, and time was extremely tight.
Chen Mu and the other two immediately returned to the Heaven's Wings building, where Bu Qiangdong was already waiting for them.
When they got there, Bu Qiangdong was looking up at the building in a daze, muttering, "How could it be like this?.. how could it be like this..." That place had given him hope for the future, and he had finally developed a sense of belonging there with great difficulty. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the building would be completely unrecognizable, with the upper floors abruptly sliced in half?
He could clearly see the broken walls exposed in the air, which made his heart ache.
He was feeling a little scared, since the boss usually lived up there.
It was a miracle that the boss was still alive!
When Bu Qiangdong saw Chen Mu, he felt as though a stone had been lifted from his heart. It was as though he'd found his backbone. "It's great that you're okay, Boss!" His tone was sincere, and you could hear that he was genuinely happy.
Chen Mu was rather moved, and he nodded in agreement.
Bu Qiangdong's gaze then fell onto Lu Xiaoru, who was next to Chen Mu.
Lu Xiaoru had already changed her appearance by then. She had only raised her eyebrows again and used a few tricks to look like a completely different person.
What was most inconceivable to Chen Mu was that her temperament had also undergone a complete transformation.
Lu Xiaoru was wearing a pair of thin glasses, a white blouse with a classic flower knot on the chest, and a pair of narrow trousers on the lower half of her body, which made her legs look even more slender and straight.
That wasn't the charming, sexy, and enchanting Lu Xiaoru that Chen Mu had ever seen. She was a completely different intellectual professional woman.
She was following behind Chen Mu, looking just like a secretary.
Even a veteran of the workplace like Bu Qiangdong had been fooled by Lu Xiaoru.
He thought the boss had found a secretary at some point, and he secretly praised the boss for having good taste.
But, he was well aware of his duty as an underling, so he didn't look sideways and didn't ask any questions.
But, seeing the pretty secretary and the boss walking so close, he couldn't help but try to figure out the relationship between the two.
Lu Xiaoru could be said to have a lot of experience in that regard, and she immediately understood. Her face was still cold and solemn, but her feet didn't leave a trace as she moved a little closer to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu didn't introduce Lu Xiaoru to Bu Qiangdong, feeling it wasn't necessary.
The party entered the Heaven's Wings building, and as soon as Bu Qiangdong entered, he ran over to the fantasy card advertisements in the exhibition hall with a face full of excitement. "Good lord!
That's great! These things are all here! "
Seeing Bu Qiangdong so excited, Chen Mu found it a little hard to understand. What was there to be so excited about?
Those fantasy card advertisements were just some of the most ordinary cards, with nothing too outstanding about them. He didn't understand why Bu Qiangdong would care so much about those little things.
Wei-ah was expressionless, and Lu Xiaoru wouldn't open her mouth without clearly understanding the situation. She very consciously followed behind Chen Mu, acting like a secretary.
"Call them all in."
Chen Mu left those words behind and went to the underground storehouse of the Heaven's Wings building.
There were a lot of raw materials stored in the Heaven's Wings storehouse, all of which were basic materials like the chen stone.
Those raw materials weren't worth much, but they were quickly used up, and it was too troublesome to keep buying them. So, when the company had the space, they would usually accumulate some inventory.
Chen Mu minded his own business and started to pick through the storehouse.
Bu Qiangdong was off to the side trying his best to contact the other employees. There was no way Chen Mu could finish 20 sets of fantasy card advertisements by himself.
Making one- and two-star fantasy cards was a very simple and familiar thing for Chen Mu.
Back when he and Copper were making card plays, he had to make them over and over again every day, so of course he couldn't be more familiar with them.
But even though he was making one- and two-star fantasy cards, Chen Mu was still unusually focused, not in the least becoming casual because of their low levels.
That was a habit he had left behind when he was making one-star power cards. For him at the time, any mistake would have meant a loss of money.
Concentrating on watching the color of the card ink constantly change in the container, Chen Mu carefully and precisely threw in all the required materials.
Bu Qiangdong was thrilled to be able to see the boss do it himself.
He had always been a card master, and he worshipped Chen Mu's level in that regard. He wished he could record every step the boss took.
His movements were skillful and calm, precise and meticulous. Every one of the boss's movements was like a standard model. Even as a veteran card master, he couldn't help but be amazed.
He couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
He didn't know who had trained the boss, but his basic skills were shockingly solid.
Apart from the boss, no one in all of Heaven's Wings could do such a standard movement.
To some extent, the boss could be considered a freak among card masters.
Which card master would practice his brushwork these days?
Brushwork had a limited effect on cards, and it required a lot of time to practice. Most card masters didn't want to waste time on it.
So, it was common to see some high-level card masters draw clumsy compositions.
But the boss's brushwork was the most beautiful he had ever seen. How much time would that take to practice?!
No matter how you put it, the boss was always hard to figure out.
But Bu Qiangdong quickly cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and stared at every step the boss took, lest he miss a single detail.
When the last material was put in, the color of the card ink in the container changed from a dark yellow to a light purple in 15 seconds, giving off a strange smell.
Of course, that was only for Wei-ah and Lu Xiaoru. Bu Qiangdong was a card master himself and was very familiar with that smell.
Lu Xiaoru's eyes widened as she looked at Chen Mu, who was completely in the zone, in shock.
He was a card master?
That puzzled her. A card artisan assassin was actually a card master?
Chen Mu's demeanor was extremely focused, completely oblivious to everything else. She had only ever seen such a state in some of the most outstanding card masters.
What kind of person was he, after all?
Jungle, communication, attack … those words kept reverberating in Chen Mu's mind.
To tell the truth, he wasn't very good at writing scripts. That had always been Copper's job, and he was only doing it reluctantly.
It was a good thing that Chen Mu had real experience in the jungle, which helped him a lot.
If … if he could communicate in the jungle …
The image of himself trudging through the jungle with the children suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the image of Colin leading the warriors away from the white mottled ants.
He suddenly lowered his head and, without hesitation, pulled out a slanted blade pen from the set of Weak Water pens. He dipped it in card ink and started to draw on the blank card.
