408 There Is Actually Such A Talented And Dashing Man In This World!

[Cloud Talent] Card was officially launched!

As the nearest place to the Sword Card Master Association, all the cultivators from Tian Du City purchased the legendary [Cloud Talent] Card right away!

The cultivators began testing and shared their talents on the online community.

Hence…

Many people wailed that they chose the wrong vocation.

Many people were glad that they chose the correct vocation.

As for the cultivators that did not have [Cloud Talent] Card, they could only anxiously await for the arrival of the [Cloud Talent] Card.

At this moment.

The [Cloud Talent] Card had become very popular!

The [Cloud Talent] Card became a widely discussed card in the real sense!

Everyone who had the card would do the testing right away and shared the results. People who saw the results could not help but do the testing as well!

Of course.

Many people marveled at the mysterious small hint.

“Your talent is better than xx people in the world!”

People could not help but feel more competitive at these kinds of remarks. One had the urge to share with everyone that their talent was far beyond ordinary!

They began sharing their results within their circle of friends.

There were geniuses whose talents were better than 99% of people and there were losers whose talents were lower than 1%…

People loved it.

…

Of course.

It was obvious that given that the card was very popular, many people had been eying it.

This was particularly for the Card Creators who had been keeping a watch on Lu Ming’s past cards right from the start. They wanted to decrypt and imitate the card as soon as possible.

However, they were surprised to find that the card was not encrypted at all! It could be used once it was activated by energy. This was because the algorithm core was at the Sword Card Master Association!

Decrypting?

What was the use?

It was easy to imitate the card, however…

This was useless!

It was merely a simple signal transmission card. What was the use of it?!

“There is actually such a card!”

“This card can not be decrypted. One can only do targeted interception. I have done a calculation, if one is willing to spend the resources, we can still intercept it.”

However, the interception was limited!

They could only intercept the talent testing results of one individual!

That was all.

What was the use?

Not only that.

Lu Ming also took the initiative to make public the copyright and creation methods of the card, making them available for all to create. This meant that all the Card Creators could create this card!

“Does it mean that we don’t stand a chance?”

“Yes!”

“The so-called talent system is very simple. If they can do it, so can we! All we have to do is to come up with our own algorithm!”

“Understood!”

Hence…

All the decryption teams shifted the focus from decrypting the card to working on an algorithm!

For them, it was very straightforward.

Lu Ming could make money, so could they! It was merely a simple interval algorithm.

It was merely a transmission card!

They could do it as well!

However…

What was upsetting was that as they did not have any data as a basis, they realized to their shock that there was a big discrepancy in their data!

At times, it was 20%!

At times, it was 30%!

How was this possible?!

They used the golden league as the basis and discovered that the testing results would jump from white silver league to diamond league. It was a mess!

There was a big discrepancy!

“How did Lu Ming solve this problem?”

“I don’t know!”

“Buy more of the cards. We have to get a test result as soon as possible.”

“Understood.”

…

Right then…

The various associations could not sit still anymore.

Look, they put in great efforts to train their super geniuses. After taking them as their disciples, providing them with resources, bringing them to the legacy sites, they suddenly decided to turn to other associations…

Who could tolerate that?!

However…

They could not do anything about it. If they tested their talents with the [Cloud Talent] Card and they had better results in other talents, it was possible that they would leave!

These days, what was the goal of peak six-stars?

The ultimate goal was to break through to seven-star!

They were willing to try any method that could increase their probability of becoming a seven-star.

It did not matter if they had to re-cultivate or change vocation!

Therefore…

The various associations bought many Talent Cards to do testing. They wanted to give priority to the geniuses to do the testing so as to know who the confirmed geniuses were as well as their trustworthiness!

They had to know who would be leaving!

Of course.

They would then be able to focus their efforts on grooming the cultivators who were most talented.

Without a doubt, the [Cloud Talent] Card would influence how the associations allocated resources for their disciples in the future!

Therefore…

All the associations went on a mad rush to purchase [Cloud Talent] Cards and the sales spiked again!

However…

While all the other associations hurried to buy the cards, there was one association who did not do anything. It could only watch helplessly as other associations did their testing.

This was because…

They did not have any cards!

The Sword Card Master Association had ordered that no Card Creator could sell the card to them!

Yes.

That was the Wind Elementalists Association.

Lu Ming even blocked all the possible signal areas that they would use as well as the wind energy characteristics, blocking them directly on the cloud!

It was useless even if they stole the card!

Unless… they apologized!

“They want us to apologize?!

“This is impossible!”

The Wind Elementalists Association president sneered.

Does he really think that by having a lousy card he would be invincible?

The card had indeed caused a sensation and was widely discussed. Their marketing efforts had worked. However, it was ridiculous to think that they could compete against them just with this card!

“President.”

His subordinate sent him news right away. “There are many rumors in the association. Some disciples discovered they could not use the Talent Card to do testing and suspect that we deliberately stopped them from testing to prevent them from leaving…”

“Who spread the rumors?”

“I don’t know. It seems to be a small group of friends…”

“Scoundrel!”

The Wind Elementalists Association president was furious.

Group of friends…

The Sword Card Master Association must be behind it.

Snort!

They are so childish!

He probably had no idea how much energy the Wind Elementalists Association had or how powerful the branch of the most popular Elementalists Association was!

“I heard that many agencies are studying the algorithm?”

The president asked indifferently.

“Yes!”

The subordinate confirmed.

“Very good.”

The president sneered.

Hence…

He took the initiative to contact few of the most powerful decryption agencies and formed an alliance with them.

It was called the Talent Card Research Alliance!

The only purpose of this alliance was to crack the card, develop a new algorithm, and finally to release a new Talent Card. The various agencies would divide the returns based on how much they contributed to the alliance!

As the president of the Wind Elementalists Association of Tian Du City, he had the funds and the confidence!

At this moment…

All the decryption agencies were working hard to create an imitation Talent Card as fast as possible and to develop their own Talent Card!

…

Right then…

Sword Card Master Association.

Li Haoran was ecstatic at the sight of the increasing amount of money that the Sword Card Master Association received. The association could finally be rid of the ‘supported by Yun’ title, and be self-sufficient!

What did it mean to be supported by Yun?

It referred to the fact that the association was supported by Zhao Yunshan…

Cough.

“Are you happy?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

“Yes.”

Li Haoran nodded fiercely.

“Remember!

“We have a market share as we have the advantage over others by being the first to create the card.

“However, you should know that regarding the creation of cards, there is the issue of imitation…”

Lu Ming warned.

“Understood.”

Li Haoran understood right away.

[Cloud Talent] Card was easy to create. The core element was the algorithm. He was certain that people were already studying and analyzing the algorithm!

Of course.

They probably would never think that it was never about interval algorithms!

They would not have thought that the talent testing system that seemed to be shockingly accurate was in fact full of discrepancies! Its test result deviated by as high as 20%!

“We have the first-mover advantage. We must create the second version as fast as possible,” Lu Ming instructed.

He was very sure that the so-called testing was similar to boot times, since 370 Assistant[1], PC Manager[2] and others could do it as well.

Of course, since both programs could accomplish it, so could “Baidoo[3]”!

Hence, eventually, everyone would be working on the same thing!

And now…

This was the case for the [Cloud Talent] Card that Lu Ming and the rest had created. If they did not hurry to increase their market share, they would be left behind very soon!

“Understood!”

Li Haoran knew what his master meant.

The Sword Card Master Association must grab hold of this opportunity.

Hence…

All the spirit bodies worked hard to calculate and the large amount of data collected these two days was enough for deduction and analysis. This was how different algorithms were being deduced!

…

Wind Elementalists Association.

“Can you make sense of this?”

“Yes!”

The members of the alliance were certain.

After the establishment of the Talent Card Research Alliance, their strength had increased tremendously!

Several powerful decryption agencies were gathered together. It was a very simple task to decrypt a mere Talent Card!

After hundreds of testing, they discovered the secret of the so-called testing card—It turned out that the card itself had all sorts of strange problems in its algorithm.

It turned out that…

The algorithm was simply nonsense!

Since that was the case, what were they afraid of?!

They not only wanted to imitate the Talent Card, they also wanted to create a better card than Lu Ming!

Hence…

After careful consideration, they spent a lot of money to invite hundreds of computing elite genius from the research institute to remodel the talent algorithm!

It took them three days and three nights to complete the study!

A new generation of the Talent Card had been created!

They even changed the white silver league and bronze league to first-class talent, second-class talent and so on.

It was more intuitive!

It was more friendly!

There was less error!

[Cloud Talent] Card?

What kind of crap was that?

They would show everyone a real talent testing card!

“Very good.”

The president of the Wind Elementalists Association was very pleased.

Hehe, look, the problem had been solved! They had not only solved the problem of the talent testing, they could even compete in the market!

Hence…

They officially announced the introduction of a new talent testing card!

They used all kinds of advertisements.

With the approval of the president, millions were invested in the card. With this Talent Card, they were confident that they could earn profits in a short period of time!

However…

Just when they stocked up millions of cards and were getting ready to sell them, there was a shocking message—

The [Cloud Talent] Card had transformed again!

When people used the [Cloud Talent] Card again, they were shocked to discover that the same card displayed totally different data from before!

Yes.

Talent Testing System v2.0 had officially been launched!

They instinctively used a [Cloud Talent] Card and was surprised to find that the original rating had been replaced with figures!

It was more accurate!

It was more detailed!

It was more perfect!

——

Test Results:

Name: xx.

Energy Warrior Talent: 83.2 points.

Swordsman Talent: 55.5 points.

Sharpshooter Talent: 54.1 points.

Card Creator Talent: 51.9 points.

…

——

Yes.

The original ratings on the testing list had been changed to a percentage and it was detailed to the extent that it showed the decimal point!!!

How was this possible?!

Everyone was in shock and terror.

“Impossible!”

“How could he possibly calculate all this in three days?”

The decryption team was appalled.

This was true.

Three days!

There were only dozens of people in Lu Ming’s Sword Card Master Association. Even if there were several hundreds or thousands of them, it was impossible to finish all of that work! There were simply too many calculations to be done!

How many people used the cards the past few days? How much data had accumulated over the past few days?

Millions?

Tens of millions?

It must be a shocking figure!

It was probably astronomical.

Given the astronomical figure, it was understandable that the data was so accurate that they could show the decimal places. However, even mathematical experts would require several months to calculate and analyze!

Three days?

How could that be possible?!

They tested several cards consecutively and their faces turned ashen.

The scores were consistent!

Yes.

The scores were exactly the same no matter how they tested it.

This meant that…

[Cloud Talent] Card no longer had any error!

“How is that possible!”

The president was in disbelief.

They looked at the testing cards that they spent lots of money on creating and at the shabby first-class and second-class talent ratings. It felt like nonsense!

There was no way to compare with the new card!

“How long will it take to accomplish this?”

He instinctively asked the people from the research institute.

“One year!” The research institute replied.

Yes, one year!

Even if there were large amounts of data, they would still need one year!

And the Sword Card Master Association had taken…

Three days!

How could that be possible?!

Everyone in the Talent Card Alliance was dumbstruck.

Obviously…

He would never find out that it was the spirit bodies who were doing the calculations… No humans could compare with their shocking computing speed!

The president was desperate.

Not only had he invested a large amount of money to invite the research institute to help in the calculation, he had invested all the money on advertising and marketing… He even helped to advertise Lu Ming’s [Cloud Talent] Card!

“We’re done for…”

The president wailed.

He knew that this time he might be totally disgraced.

True enough.

Along with the failure of their Talent Card…

The Wind Elementalists Association had been banned internally from using the card. The situation had gotten worse and it garnered the attention of the Wind Elementalists Association headquarters. In the end, the higher-ups issued a strict order!

It was very simple.

Why was it that everyone could use the card but not the Wind Elementalists Association? What were they afraid of?

Besides…

The annoying problem of the Tian Du City branch had affected all other branches! This was alright if they had been successful in their research, however now that they had failed…

Hence…

The president of the Wind Elementalists Association took the initiative to apologize to the Sword Card Master Association. He was proud but he bowed to Li Haoran, sincerely admitting his mistakes. With that, this matter finally came to an end!

All the disciples of the Sword Card Master Association also felt very pleased at the apology!

It was a cool feeling that could be felt in one breath from the top to bottom!

What did it mean by having power and skills?

This was it!

Look! The president of the branch personally apologized to them!

“How does it feel?”

Lu Ming glanced at Li Haoran.

“Cool!”

Li Haoran blushed.

This was the first time that a big shot at the president level apologized to him!

It was too awesome!

A few days ago, he took the initiative to visit them to provide free testing but was not given the chance. Right now, the Wind Elementalists Association not only spent lots of money to buy the cards, they still had to apologize to them!

He was overjoyed!

He knew that the Sword Card Master Association would rise to new heights sooner or later!

But he never expected that it would be so fast!

Suddenly…

He felt that his hard work these days had been worthwhile!

At the thought of this…

Li Haoran turned teary-eyed.

“Dry your tears,” Lu Ming said calmly.

“Yes!”

Li Haoran was full of emotion.

However…

The sensation caused by the [Cloud Talent] Card was not over yet. Just when Lu Ming thought that the craze would gradually die down, a gust of wind came blowing…

Afterward…

Lu Ming became famous!

“Huh?”

Lu Ming was in a daze. How was it possible that he had become famous?

…

Who was Lu Ming?

In fact, many people had no idea.

Although the Fruit Ninja, Leviathan Card and Stealing Card caused a huge sensation, many people did not notice Lu Ming. His cards but not him were popular.

This was actually quite common.

The simplest explanation was in fact a song in Lu Ming’s previous life.

Many people thought that Love Sale[4] was a song by Phoenix Legend[5]. Many others also thought that Heavenly Road[6] was a song by Han Hong[7], but this was not the case…

→_→

Lu Ming’s situation was similar.

Initially, Fruit Ninja gained popularity in Qing Ming City and technical forums. After it became popular, the copyright was made public and locals could create their own cards!

Therefore…

How many people actually used Lu Ming’s cards?

No one.

If one looked around in the online community, one would see such similar conversation.

“Lu Ming? Who is that? I thought that Fruit Ninja was created by our local Card Creating Master.”

“Lu Ming? I have not heard of him. I always thought that the Leviathan Card was Brother Cai’s card.”

And so on.

Therefore, before this, Lu Ming was the typical case where his cards were popular, but no one knew who he was.

However…

Everything was different now.

With the appearance of the [Cloud Talent] Card, and the hotly discussed topics like #College entrance examination#, #Grandmaster#, people began to notice this legendary Card Creator!

“He is Lu Ming!”

“Holy crap! He is the president of the Sword Card Master Association! He is the vice-principal of the college at the crossroad! He is the founder of all kinds of impressive cards! He even defeated Yan Suya!”

“He is very powerful!”

“He is actually so handsome!”

“I have read the articles from his friends…”

“I seemed to have read them as well. I remember that they are very popular. There are only two to three people… Oh, right. I remember there was someone by the name of Xiaobai! I remember very well that when I was reading the news on s website, an advertisement for an indescribable item popped up!”

“Yes, yes, yes. That’s it!”

The third person was speechless.

Where the hell did they see that?!

Anyway.

Some people had read the Sword Card Master’s report, some of them saw the advertisement on social media, and some of them witnessed Lu Ming’s combat capabilities during the on-campus job fair!

And now…

Everything was being linked together.

Lu Ming gained even more popularity with the related hotly discussed topics.

Hence…

Lu Ming became famous.

He became very popular with the increasing sales of the [Cloud Talent] Card!

Even the Ming’s supporters fan club that was created by a few young ladies in Qing Ming City was discovered by resourceful netizens. People were amazed.

It turned out that…

This was Lu Ming!

It turned out that…

In addition to being powerful, he had the looks as well!

It turned out that…

Such a talented and dashing man actually existed in their world!
