The Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Lu Ming stared at the garage kit of Xiaobai in his hands. He had the feeling that recently Xiaobai had been led astray…

Especially since she had used the word 'use'…

d.a.m.n it!

Someone must have led Xiaobai astray!

Otherwise, how could she have such bad influences given that her master was pure, kind-hearted, das.h.i.+ng and had good moral values!

Oo…

Something had to be done about the a.s.sociation.

"Wait a minute.

"I remember now."

Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly said. "When you used the garage kit of Onion Miku for the experiment, Xiaobai happened to be there. That could be the reason behind this."

"Xiaobai was there?"

Lu Ming was shocked, but he immediately understood.

After all, they bought the garage kit of Onion Miku using the a.s.sociation's funds. It cost tens of thousands of yuan. It was unnecessary to use such expensive items for their own experiments.

Xiaobai might be referring to that.

At the thought of this…

Lu Ming understood as well. Xiaobai was indeed good at saving money.

Right then.

Xiao-Xiaojian leaned in to take a look and had an idea, getting all excited. "Lu Ming! Lu Ming! I thought of a brilliant plan to increase our talents!

"If we're successful…

"Perhaps our talents will be hundreds and thousands of times what they are now in 10 years!"

Xiao-Xiaojian was excited.

"Oh?!"

Lu Ming's eyes lit up.

10 years…

He estimated that before breaking through to seven-star, the main probability would remain the same for a long time. After all, the increase in recruiting talents had just begun. He had serious responsibilities!

Since there was a chance in the future… 10 years were nothing!

He would not be like the elder who was stuck at peak six-star, searching for any way to break through!

"Tell me."

Lu Ming glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian.

"It's very simple."

Xiao-Xiaojian looked at the name list in Lu Ming's hands. "The parents of these teenagers are cultivators who are very talented. Can you think of any connection?"

"Connection…"

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. "Targeting their parents?"

This was not logical!

What was the reason behind searching for people who were the peers of the teenager in white?

They were young and easily fooled… Oh, that was not it. He wanted to say that they were young and malleable. There was a chance for them to change vocation to become a Sword Card Master!

Their parents had cultivated for 40 to 50 years, if they changed vocation now…

It was impossible!

"Stupid!"

Xiao-Xiaojian expected better from him. "To groom talented people, apart from searching for disciples everywhere, there is another stabler way!"

"Oh?"

Lu Ming was full of antic.i.p.ation.

Could it be that Xiao-Xiaojian had mastered the secret skill of the Sky Water Sword?

"It's very simple."

Xiao-Xiaojian was very proud of its solution. "Have! Your! Own! Child!"

Lu Ming was dumbstruck. Have his own child?

"Yes.

"I have it all figured out."

It was rare that Xiao-Xiaojian was serious. "Although you have poor talents, as long as you find a woman with very powerful talents, your child will not be too bad!

"Think about it.

"Xiaobai's child will not have poor talents.

"Hypothetically…

"This is only a hypothesis. If you married Xiaobai, the talent of your future child would never be lower than 20%. If we calculated in this way, all you need to do is to have 10 children! With that, your talent can double! if you are lucky, you might have twins or triplets…

"Of course.

"You can check with Jiang Feng if they have any multiple birth records in the family history. In that case, my deduction will be more accurate."

Xiao-Xiaojian put his deduction abilities to good use.

d.a.m.n!

This was the brilliant solution it was referring to?

Forget that Xiaobai was still young. Did it really think that Xiaobai was a machine and she could easily have children. It even thought about having twins and triplets!

And the talk about verification…

What the c.r.a.p!

Did it know that he would be beaten to death?!

"Get lost!

"Do you think this is possible?!"

Lu Ming's expression darkened.

He had an urge to melt Xiao-Xiaojian and remake it…

Seriously…

He had a very strong urge to do that.

"Are you a fool?"

Xiao-Xiaojian was contemptuous. "This is only one of the choices. Do you understand? In the actual plan, there is no need to be so hard on Xiaobai. I have done a calculation, you have several good options around you.

"Take for example, Miss Yan Suya.

"I feel that if you communicate well with Salted Crispy Chicken, you might be able to win his sister's affection. By then, you will have another line of talented offspring.

"There is another example, Miss Xiaoqing.

"This girl is just as talented, and I feel that both of you have feelings for each other. You can strike any time. You will have 10 more children.

"Of course.

"If you are good enough, let me calculate…

"There is Li Tiantian as well. Oh right, there is the young lady that we just saved. Thinking about it, you will break through to a seven-star very soon!

"Oh, there is still one more person!

"If you don't mind the age, what do you think of Senior Qiu Shuyi?

"I feel that Senior Qiu will be much more talented!"

Xiao-Xiaojian got more and more excited.

Its brilliant plan seemed to be ready. All it needed was for Lu Ming to turn into a happy horse, sowing its oats. A bright future was awaiting him!

"Lu Ming!

"Look at this world!

"Look at the women in front of you!

"If you have five children, your talents will double!

"If you have 10 children, your talents will increase four times!

"If you have twenty children, your talents will increase 10 times!

"The bright future beckons to you. How can you be afraid now?! Let's go! Your bright future is ahead. Go ahead to have more children!"

Xiao-Xiaojian was in high spirits.

Lu Ming's expression darkened.

Seriously…

He had an urge to kill someone now…

He only saw what the situation would look like in his original world. There would be novels where men in ancient times sowed their wild oats, having children everywhere until the end…

This was crazy!

Why didn't the card have its own children?

"Do you know that you are showing disrespect for children and women?"

Lu Ming sighed.

"Why do we need to show them respect?"

Xiao-Xiaojian found it odd. In its time, men, women, humans, beasts and spirits were mixed together. One was useless if one could not become stronger! One was useless if one was without talents! This was regardless of gender and age. Being powerful was the only way!

Only the strongest would garner the respect of all other creatures!

"This is because I am a human being."

Lu Ming maintained a calm expression.

"Human beings…

"Alright."

Xiao-Xiaojian had some slight understanding.

It used the method in accordance with the rule of the ancient times where the strongest beast ruled, and calculated and derived this rational and reliable data. However, human beings simply could not do it!

"Did they really do that in the past?"

Lu Ming was speechless.

"Yes."

Xiao-Xiaojian said matter-of-factly, "One's family is stronger when one has more offspring! There was a slogan. I remember it was something like… those who can afford it should have more offspring, those who cannot afford it must create the conditions to have more offspring."

→_→

Lu Ming was speechless.

Alright.

The beasts were the rulers in ancient times. Their method of having offspring was indeed barbaric.

Anyway, this method could not be used in the human world!

"Oh."

Xiao-Xiaojian gave up this idea regretfully.

This was the first time it had had such a perfect plan…

It felt somewhat sad.

It used to be an ancient sword spirit!!!

But now?

It was useless!

It had been with Lu Ming for a long time, but it was merely a tool… It was responsible for self-cultivation, digging potholes, burying bodies, illumination, being treated as a ride…

It might have a lot of functions but in fact it was dispensable!

What was its core?

There was nothing!

To put it bluntly, it was a universal auxiliary tool!

How could that be tolerated?

In the past it was alright.

It and Lu Ming disliked each other…

But now?

The Sky Water Sword was gone, and there was no way it could leave. As the core sword spirit that was bound to Lu Ming, it urgently needed to prove its value!!!

"It's alright."

Lu Ming was filled with emotions. "Don't belittle universal auxiliary tools. Bear this in mind, your goal is to be like (●—●) Baymax[1]!"

"Baymax?"

Xiao-Xiaojian was puzzled.

After a long while…

It finally understood. "Are you referring to Yan Suya?"

Lu Ming was silent.

After a long while…

He sighed.

d.a.m.n the card. It would do him in sooner or later… He felt like he was on the fast lane of the expressway and the d.a.m.n card had suddenly drifted!

Forget it.

He should beat it to death.

Lu Ming shoved the card back into the card bag.

Ah?

Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled.

You are the one who keeps repeating that daily…

What was the problem?

Hehe.

Lu Ming could not be bothered with it.

He stood up and was about to go back to his room to come up with a plan. He had just reached the door when he suddenly stopped.

Not too far in the distance, in the corridor, the cleaning auntie that he pulled into the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation yesterday was cleaning the place.

Of course, this was not the main point.

The point was an Original Card was stuck to a mop and followed right behind the cleaning auntie. It mopped the area that the cleaning auntie swept…

Lu Ming was taken aback.

What kind of eerie sight was this?!

"h.e.l.lo."

Lu Ming walked over cautiously.

"Oh, the president is back."

The cleaning auntie smiled. "I didn't expect to see you during my work today. This place will be cleaned right away, I won't disturb your work. Goodness, you look as handsome as the picture on the wall."

"No…

"That is alright."

Lu Ming waved his hands, pointing to the Original Card that was mopping the floor. "I want to know more about this…"

"I see.

"You are referring to this."

The cleaning auntie wiped her perspiration and smiled. "People like us are not talented and our cultivation speed is slow. I reckon we will only reach two-star or three-star. It doesn't matter which vocation we are in. I heard that we could make the Original Card help us with our ch.o.r.es. Hence I eavesdropped on the lessons in the a.s.sociation…"

Speaking of this, she felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. Seeing that Lu Ming did not blame her, she continued. "As I listened to more and more lessons, I became a Sword Card Master."

Lu Ming did not come to his senses for a long while.

Eavesdropped…

Wait a minute.

She became a Sword Card Master through eavesdropping?!

She was that amazing?

It was easy to temper an Original Card.

The challenge of a Sword Card Master was whether one had a card spirit or not! The auntie clearly had awakened her card spirit and it was able to help with her ch.o.r.es!

Could it be that cleaning auntie was also a hidden vocation?!

Hence…

He asked around respectfully and finally understood what was going on.

The reason was in fact very simple.

Among the several thousands of spirit bodies in the spirit body department, not all of them were powerful. There were some weak and very low-level spirit bodies in the recent batch.

For example…

Broom spirit.

They knew that they were weaker and it was very compet.i.tive to compete with their peers in the spirit body department. Therefore, they took the initiative to integrate with the cleaning aunties, becoming their card spirits.

Although they were only two-stars!

She was not the only one. Everyone like the cleaners, aunties in the canteen, and people who were originally working in the a.s.sociation had condensed their Original Cards!

Oh, it was no wonder there was an addition of talents when he recruited them yesterday…

Lu Ming completely understood now.

"I-is this okay?"

The cleaning auntie was apprehensive.

Although they sought permission from Li Haoran, they knew very well that the handsome young man in front of her was the real president of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

"It's alright."

Lu Ming smiled. "It's good that they can help you with the ch.o.r.es. You have worked hard."

"Yes, yes, thank you."

The cleaning auntie finally felt a.s.sured.

After cleaning the place, she left with a peace of mind.

Lu Ming stared at the cleaning auntie and was deep in his thoughts.

Oo…

Broom spirit…

Voluntarily integrated with the Original Card…

If that was the case, could it become a widespread trend?!

Hence…

He had an idea and contacted Li Haoran right away. They spent three hours discussing "The Sword Card Master a.s.sociation Housekeeping Company" plan!

It ended in a failure.

The reason was very simple.

Although high-level talented spirit bodies were very rare, weak spirits like broom spirits were very scarce as well! To be more precise, there were fewer weak spirits than high-level spirit bodies!

This was because they were too weak!

In this age where there was energy everywhere, theoretically, everything could result in a spirit body…

There was a higher probability of having spirit bodies with high-level energy.

In particular those that belonged to the beasts category!

As for the rest…

To be honest, it was very rare to be able to have a naturally developed spirit body.

In the cla.s.sification of spirit bodies, the lowest level spirit bodies and the highest level spirit bodies were very rare. Instead, there were many three-star or four-star spirit bodies.

This was also the case for the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation.

Almost all the spirit bodies in Tian Du City had gathered in the a.s.sociation!

The low-level spirit bodies were able to fulfill the needs of the workers in the a.s.sociation. If they really started a housekeeping company, they would not have that many spirit bodies!!!

Alright.

Lu Ming sighed and gave up.

Both he and Xiao-Xiaojian did not think their plans through thoroughly!

At this time, Lu Ming finally understood that every plan that tried to increase talents through quant.i.ty was doomed to fail right from the start!

The reason was simple. The Sky Water Sword determined talents based on the vocation core!

Which meant…

One could only be counted in the calculation after the vocation core was tempered!

To put it bluntly, it was the sword card!

The Original Card must have a spirit body!

In this world where there were all sorts of a.s.sociations and the method of tempering the vocation core was made public to all, no one was willing to temper a vocation core of a Sword Card Master that was of a higher difficulty level!

There was no reason to do that!

It did not make sense if one looked at it from the point of view of the power or popularity of the a.s.sociation.

Besides…

Even if they were willing, there were not enough spirit bodies!!!

As such…

After serious consideration, Lu Ming finally went back to looking at the name list in front of him. Recruiting these talents was the simplest way to increase their talents!

As the teenager in white had written down the information of 100 people on the paper and there was too much information, he had yet to take a serious look at it.

Right now…

Shush.

Lu Ming began to look through the name list.

——

1. Li Lianyi.

Female, 8 years old, an eight-star Swordsman's daughter. Excellent talents. It is said that her father carried her on his back and went through the ruins of 30 legacy sites…

Contact: ***

2. w.a.n.g Tianer

Male, 6 years old, my second auntie's child. It is said that he once wet his bed late at night and energy surged, causing moonlight resonance, and drawing a map of legacy sites on the sheets.

Contact: ***

…

——

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Wait a minute.

Why did he provide details of children?!

Although theoretically children could cultivate as well, they had to skip levels to finish their basic education! What could an eight-year-old do?!

Did he think that everyone was Xiaobai?

This guy…

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

Although he had said that he could have 1000 contribution points for every talented teenager that he wrote down, he could not include everyone just to make up numbers!

These children…

Forget it.

He would leave the list alone for now.

He could recruit them when they were older two years later.

He ignored the young talented children and his gaze rested on the talented teenagers who had started to cultivate. These people…

Eh?

Lu Ming's gaze rested on one of the names.

Very well, his first target had appeared!
