Chapter 99 Old Woman (x) Old Woman (√)
More than a month has passed since Russell completed the task assigned by the Qiling Society.
He lived a very comfortable life during this period, better than any other time since he came into this world.
Every day I either meditate or battle Pokémon, and I hardly ever go out.
At this moment, Russell was sitting cross-legged on the bed, performing a crucial meditation.
After a long time, he opened his eyes.
In contrast to his tired face, Russell's eyes were bright and seemed to be sparkling.
A smile gradually appeared on his face: "Finally reached the silver level."
That’s right, after nearly a month of hard training, he was finally promoted to the silver level.
Unlike his previous breakthrough to the bronze level which was inspired by something, this time he relied entirely on hard work.
However, thanks to his incredibly high mental talent, he managed to break through before school started.
The silver level can barely make Russell feel a little safe. You know, the previous director of the Shanghai Card Master Association, Jiang Wang, was only at the gold level.
But right now, his silver level is still very weak, after all, he doesn’t have any silver-level cards.
"Fortunately, the teacher and the Qiling Society gave me two sets of materials, which can be regarded as starting capital."
This is only the case for Russell. For other ordinary card makers without family background, every time they advance to a higher level, they basically have to spend all their family wealth before they can try to make the first card of the same level. If they are relatively poor, they may have to save money for a long time before they can start trying to make a card.
"It's just a pity that the materials provided by Qilinghui are not worthy of being shown to others."
The Qi Ling Society gave a total of four silver-level materials, namely the silver-level [Soul Star] (gold), the silver-level [Demon Hunter] (purple), the silver-level [Blood of Resurrection] (gold), and the silver-level [Power Demon] (gold).
It is very valuable, but it cannot be exposed to the public.
"But there is no rush to use these materials. After all, they cannot be used publicly even if they are produced."
So Russell did not plan to use these materials to make cards first, but instead planned to use the materials given by Bai Yueming.
"only"
Looking at the four pieces of underworld materials in his hand.
Silver level [Soul-guiding Old Woman] (red), Silver level [Water of the Netherworld River] (gold), Silver level [Five-flavor Bowl] (gold), Silver level [Two-Faced Man] (gold).
Russell couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Bai Yueming is really generous. The four sets of materials for the gift are obviously a set.
And this was the first time Russell had access to red quality material.
Even though he didn't know much about mythology before he traveled through time, he did take some lessons after that, plus Bai Yueming's card system lineup.
The directionality is so strong that it would be strange if Russell couldn't see that this was a set of materials for making Meng Po.
"Just a two-faced person"
He didn't understand why Bai Yueming would put such incompatible material in it.
Russell casually opened the "World Mythology Atlas Revised Edition 4.8" on the bedside table and quickly turned to the page where Meng Po was according to the index.
Looking at the annotations in the illustrations, Russell was stunned: "Meng Po originally came from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
"Classic of Mountains and Seas·Zhongshan Jing·Zhongci Twelve Classics": The two daughters of the Emperor live there, and they often swim in the deep of the river. The winds of Li and Yuan meet the deep of Xiaoxiang, which is between the Jiujiang River. When they go in and out, there will be wind and rain.
Although he had heard of the story of Meng Po, he only knew the most famous Meng Po soup.
The specific story is unclear.
Only now do we know that Meng Po’s origin is Yao’s second daughter, Nüying.
According to the description in the Shan Hai Jing, Meng Po obviously also served as the god of wind.
"A two-faced man, with two sides to one coin." Russell now probably understood Bai Yueming's intention in giving him this material.
This paves the way for Meng Po to advance to become a female hero.
"What a pity, I would not choose to be Meng Po." Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but sigh.
Russell could certainly make it up, and the quality of the material would allow the card to be gold at least. But this was not Russell's intention.
You have to know that now he, Yoriichi Tsugumi, can form a bond with other Bleach gods.
The best choice is definitely to make cards from Bleach, followed by Che Wanli's Shiki Yingji.
However, the prototype of Shiki Eiji is Jizo, whose level is too high, so it is definitely impossible to produce it.
But if it was really made, Russell would like to see what expression his teacher would have.
After all, Shiki Yingji is the famous King Yanluo, and it has something to do with the title of his teacher.
Thinking of this, Russell showed a wicked smile on his face.
"Unohana Retsu, Shutara Senjumaru, Saito Furuobushi. They are all old women." Russell couldn't help scratching his head, "It's so hard to choose."
There are still a lot of old women and old women in Bleach, and they are all very powerful.
Yachiryu Ueno Hanare, the chief weaving master of the Zero Division, Shutara Senjumaru.
"But in this case, some of the materials will have to be replaced."
If it were a normal card maker, he would either try his luck on the trading website or choose to make Meng Po. After all, it is not easy to collect such a set of materials.
But who is Russell? He is the disciple of a master card maker.
He has no connections, but doesn't his teacher have any?
Thinking of this, Russell immediately sent a message to Bai Yueming.
[Russell: Teacher, some of the materials you gave me are not suitable. I want to find someone to exchange them with.]
After sending the message, Russell waited silently for a response.
After a while, instead of receiving any news, I received a phone call.
"Hello, Xiao Luo, have you been promoted to the silver level?" Bai Yueming's old and warm voice came from the other end of the phone.
Although he already knew about Russell's talent, Bai Yueming was still a little shocked at this moment.
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Yes, I'm lucky. I just broke through today."
"You said you wanted to exchange some materials. Do you have an idea for the next card?"
"Yes, but some of the materials in it are not suitable."
On the other end of the phone, Bai Yueming had a thoughtful look on his face. The material he provided was very specific, but since Russell had other ideas, he should be able to form a bond with the cards on hand.
He won't say much about it.
"I'll send you a contact later. It's from one of your senior sisters. She's now teaching at NTU. You can contact her if you need anything like this in the future."
"Okay, thank you teacher."
"Haha, we are teacher and student, no need to be so polite. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
"Thank you, teacher. Goodbye."
Looking at the contact information received on his phone, Russell couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily.
It turns out that it’s easier to get things done when there’s someone behind the scenes.
Without any hesitation, Russell added the contact information.
[Russell: Hello, Senior Sister. I am Russell, the teacher's new disciple. I want to exchange some materials with you.]
After a while, the other party accepted Russell's friend request.
【Walnut: Address.】
【Hu Tao: Come find me here. 】
Looking at the message on the phone, Russell only felt that this senior sister whom he had never met was vigorous and decisive.
