Section 5, The Peculiar One-Star Energy Card

However, as the only complete card among the three paper bags, Zuo Tingyi, after enduring countless damaged cards, still holds a certain fondness for the creator of this card. He initially intended to assist him in participating in the promotion exam, but after searching for a long time, he could not find out who the creator of this card was, and thus the matter ended without resolution

Zuo Tingyi noticed Jia Ziling's distress and couldn't help but speak up: "Teacher, why don't we give it a try and see if this energy card works?"

Zuo Tingyi then realized and quickly turned around: "Teacher, this card is somewhat strange"

Oh!

Card crafting, although a profound discipline, attracts a multitude of learners. Among card crafters, there is a significant polarization, with a stark disparity between the rich and the poor. Junior card crafters often struggle to make ends meet, finding it difficult to sustain a living. Intermediate card crafters can achieve a decent income. However, once one becomes a senior card crafter, they immediately become highly sought after, becoming targets for recruitment by various factions.

Low-level card makers can only produce one-star and two-star cards, and now one-star and two-star cards have basically been industrially produced. This is also the reason why low-level card makers struggle to make a living. However, cards of three stars and above can only be made by card makers, which is why mid-level and high-level card makers are in such high demand.

Zuo Ting was oblivious to the surroundings, staring blankly at the card in his hand

Zuo Tingyi respectfully said: "The teacher's wisdom is as vast as the sea, how can a student compare to it"

Jia Ziling's eyes lit up; indeed, as long as we check whether this card is usable, we can determine if there has been an error. However, she displayed an expression as if she had thought of this long ago, and with a light cough, she said: "Hmm, Tingyi, you have made some progress; you are thinking along the same lines as I am."

What is wrong with this guy today? Jia Ziling furrowed his brows slightly. Zuo Tingyi was always decisive, speaking straightforwardly and never hesitating. Jia Ziling said directly, "Let me have a look."

The structure of this one-star energy card differs significantly from the standard structure. Jia Ziling, being experienced, can tell that this structure is based on the standard structure but has undergone some modifications. However, are these modifications indeed changes? Or are they errors? He is somewhat uncertain, as he has never encountered such altered structures before

Receiving the card from Zuo Tingyi's hand, a one-star energy card, what is there to make a fuss about? Jia Ziling was somewhat indifferent, yet he still glanced at the one-star energy card twice.

The analysis report is very detailed. This one-star energy card uses the same materials as the standard one-star energy card. Although there are differences in the design, its performance is identical to that of the standard one-star energy card, with no optimizations whatsoever.

In Jia Ziling's card-making room, various devices are exceptionally well-equipped

He suddenly sat up, and the indifference that had just been on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by an expression of profound seriousness

Chen Mu's life has not changed much; he continues to create one energy card every day as usual. However, due to the gains from the recent training course, his learning has progressed by leaps and bounds. This is most directly reflected in the strokes he uses to draw the energy cards, which have become more rounded and fluid. He roughly estimates that this improvement can increase the efficiency of the energy cards he produces by 3 percent

Jia Ziling slightly furrowed her brows, raised her voice, and said with a hint of displeasure: "Tingyi, what exactly is going on?"

He is currently using a card analyzer, which is a highly specialized instrument. Its operation is complex, and only card makers would specifically purchase it and learn how to use it. However, its functions are also very powerful; it can analyze the material, structure, and production time of the card, among other aspects. Of course, its price is also extremely high

A one-star energy card has inherently low energy, and with only a three percent increase, it is difficult to discern any noticeable effect

Zuo Tingyi also did not expect that this one-star energy card would be optimized in terms of cost. Coming from a wealthy family, he regards money as dirt, so how could he imagine that someone would think of making money from a one-star energy card that only costs a little over 100 Oudi? In fact, he has never used an energy card below three stars.

Indeed, it is somewhat peculiar. Jia Ziling murmured to himself, staring intently at the one-star energy card in his hand from www.hetushucom.com. Even he, a senior card maker at the Dongwei Academy, found it difficult to discern at a glance whether this one-star energy card was indeed erroneous.

Casually tossing the card aside, Jia Ziling decided not to waste any more time on this matter, for the time of a distinguished senior card maker is indeed very precious

He is considering how to phrase it

There is no value! Shaking his head, Jia Ziling felt somewhat discouraged. After spending half a day, he had not obtained anything of value. As a senior card maker, he never expected that the optimization of this one-star energy card lay not in its performance, but in its cost

Jia Ziling felt great joy in her heart, yet she said, "You need not be overly modest; among the students, there are few who can compare to you."

"Strange? What is strange?" Jia Ziling asked, somewhat puzzled.

It is all due to the guidance of the teachers that the students have achieved what they are today. " Left Pavilion's attire slightly bows.

Indeed, it is a new structure! Upon seeing the final analysis report, disregarding the astonished expression of Zuo Tingyi, Jia Ziling fell into deep thought. His knowledge far surpassed that of Zuo Tingyi, and he certainly understood that, apart from the standard structure, there are many other types of structural diagrams for one-star energy cards.

"The pavilion's attire cannot forget the teacher's grace, how rare it is." After the two had finished their mutual accolades, Jia Ziling feigned seriousness and said: "Alright, let us go see what is so extraordinary about this one-star energy card."

Dongwei Academy has offered exceptionally generous conditions to attract senior card-making masters to teach. Not only are the salary and benefits superior, but the annual research funding is equally enticing. Jia Ziling has his own personal card-making studio, equipped with various instruments funded by Dongwei Academy.

Zuo Tingyi hurriedly presented the one-star energy card in his hand to the teacher: "It is this card, this card... this card..."

In his view, the effort spent on optimizing the cost of a one-star energy card may itself be a rather peculiar notion

Hearing the soft sigh of Zuo Tingyi, Jia Ziling, whose eyelids had become somewhat heavy, was startled awake. He forced himself to open his eyes, tidied up his appearance, and upon seeing that his hairstyle was intact, he cleared his throat and asked, "Tingyi, what is the matter?"
