Although his tone was light, there was no need to doubt his self-confidence in his words.
Zuo Tingyi was taken aback, and then relaxed, since he was a student of Star Academy after all. How could he not have some skill?
The pen moved like a dragon and a snake, as natural as moving clouds and flowing water, without even a second's pause in between. The card ink, which still carried some heat, followed the nib of the pen and fell onto the blank card, giving off a faint white glow under the control of Chen Mu's perception.
Chen Mu had learned that from the fantasy realm of the mysterious card.
When making a fantasy card, if you start drawing while the ink is hot, the brush strokes will be very soft and smooth, and the card ink and the card surface will have a higher degree of compatibility, making the fantasy card that you've made an excellent effect.
Before long, Copper also slowly woke up.
The chen stone and the net-heart juice were combined with the same amount of inky blue syrup, and were boiled over a low flame for ten minutes until the chen stone had completely dissolved. The card ink that had been concocted was slightly viscous, and when stirred with a stirring stick, it would give off rings of bright blue ripples, with a pungent smell that went straight to the nose.
Chen Mu didn't look like a card master by then, but more like a wizard from a novel.
Without waiting for the card ink to cool, he quickly took a blank card, and picked up a slanted pen with his right hand, lightly dipping it into the ink.
Without any hesitation, the slanted pen fell onto the blank card.
Nodding, Zuo Tingyi said goodbye to Wang Ze, and went to work on the negotiations between the two sides.
Eastern Shang-Wei City was on the edge of the Eastern Reaches District, and outside the city was the wilderness.
Every once in a while, Eastern Wei Academy would organize the students to go into the wilderness for actual combat training.
But in order to ensure the safety of the students, there would be a large number of teachers accompanying them.
Although they wouldn't go deep into the wilderness, to avoid any unnecessary danger, the school had laid down strict protective measures.
Chen Mu drove Copper out when he got home.
He needed peace and quiet when making the card, and wanting Copper to be quiet was as difficult as wanting a mute to speak.
Wang Ze immediately understood what Zuo Tingyi meant, and said calmly with a slight smile, "You don't have to worry about them, my junior.
Early on before we left, the president explained that if anything were to happen to them, our school would naturally take full responsibility.
The students of our school have some way of protecting themselves, so you don't have to worry about that. "
At the thought of his alma mater's past glory and current decline, Wang Ze felt the blood in his body boil. He secretly made up his mind that this time, he would definitely get things done.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and his heavy breathing was scorching hot. The beads of sweat had also turned into streams.
The only thing that hadn't changed was the pen in Chen Mu's hand.
He had long since memorized every detail of the card's structure.
The hand that had already drawn countless one-star power cards was as steady as the most precise instrument, without the slightest error.
The emptiness of his perception made Chen Mu very uncomfortable, but he had no other choice.
The pattern on the card began to dim bit by bit.
Chen Mu felt refreshed when he woke up, and after eating something, he started to organize the drafts on the table.
Chen Mu didn't make it right away. Although the details of the whole story had already been deeply imprinted in his heart, he still needed to translate the details of the story into every detail on the card.
Moreover, he did not have a lot of materials on hand, so he could save a lot of money by making one less mistake.
Chen Mu didn't pay any attention to Copper, completely immersed in a kind of satisfaction.
The bag he was carrying in his hand was full of card materials and raw materials for concocting card ink. He had never had so many raw materials.
That was only preparatory work.
The expression on Chen Mu's face was still so focused and so meticulous, but he could see from the beads of sweat on his forehead that it wasn't an easy task.
Chen Mu's gaze was focused, and his expression was meticulous.
His breathing was starting to get a little disordered. Using perception was quite taxing on the mind, especially for someone like him who didn't have much perception and didn't use it much.
Now, he was feeling more and more strained.
Although the feeling from the nib of the pen was still smooth, and although all the composition could easily and clearly appear in his mind, he was already feeling a little powerless.
That was because he was diligent enough!
In order to save money, he had to desperately push out the composition on the card in his mind.
Not only could he save a lot of money that way, but he could also make the card master more familiar with the composition.
If the light on the pattern disappeared before the card was completed, then the card would be completely useless.
Chen Mu had already memorized the story called "Chance Encounter."
But what was worth rejoicing about was that up until then, there hadn't been any slip-ups.
Compared to his hand, which could be said to have been thoroughly tempered, Chen Mu's use of perception was a lot worse.
Looking at the materials piled up like a mountain in front of him, Chen Mu's bones suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented sense of heroism.
Although he only had a few raw materials on hand, that didn't dampen his passion for card making.
Even though he had already made a lot of preparations, he had still overlooked an extremely fatal problem.
That was the use of perception!
He had been so focused on how to get familiar with its composition that he had neglected that problem.
Watching Zuo Tingyi's receding back, Wang Ze was a little lost in thought. He was in charge of the entire exchange mission, and the responsibility on his shoulders was great.
Looking around, his expression became a little complicated, but he immediately resumed his calm.
Because some of the Star Academy students wanted to participate in the actual combat training, they didn't have enough teachers to accompany them because they hadn't made any prior preparations.
But those Star Academy students were very insistent, which put the Eastern Wei Academy in a difficult position.
If anything were to happen to the Star Academy students at Eastern Wei Academy, the consequences would be unthinkable.
So, Zuo Tingyi hurried over to discuss it with Wang Ze, hoping he could restrain those Star Academy students.
"You're awake." Chen Mu didn't raise his head as he arranged the draft in his hands.
Chen Mu had never thought that he had more talent than anyone else in making cards, but he felt that he had done something more outstanding than anyone else.
Leister grunted in response. He stood up and stretched his body. After groaning twice, he turned his head and asked, "Blockhead, are we going to buy some materials today?"
A design that looked like a rose became more and more complicated as the nib of the pen extended a little. Every line that made up the design was suffused with a faint light, flashing as though it were breathing.
But the card ink would only take about two minutes from completion to cooldown.
That was to say, Chen Mu would have to finish making the whole card in two minutes, which was why Chen Mu had to calculate over and over again the composition of the card.
"Mmmm, that's what I wanted to talk to you about."
Outside the store, Copper's face was ashen, and the muscles on his face were twitching as he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "This is simply robbing money!" He looked at the little Oudi he had left in his hands with a pained expression.
