Xie Mingzhe couldn't believe his eyes! He looked at the balance of his bank card and rubbed his eyes.

A poor boy, once having a deposit of only 200 in the bank, now became a little rich man with 300,200 crystal coins!

This was the first sum he had earned after he'd been reborn in this world. He didn't expect that the copyright fee of an original card would be worth so much. To be honest, ever since he was a child, this was the most money he had ever seen- 300,000!

Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath, ran to the bathroom to wash his face, soon feeling refreshed. Just at this time, Pang Yu went offline and finished washing his face, too. Xie Mingzhe would live with Pang Yu in the future, so they walked together to their dormitory upstairs.

Pang Yu was a natural socializer. After entering the room, he chatted with Xie Mingzhe, "Xiao Xie, you look so young. You must be under 20?"

"Yes, I'm just 18 years old this year. I'm taking part-time jobs during summer vacation to earn my living expenses."

"That's great. You're very self-motivated." Pang Yu made a thumbs-up sign.

"Well, Brother Yu. Do you know the Adjudication Club? What do you think about this club?" Xie Mingzhe tried to pump Pang Yu for information.

"Adjudication? It's a top-tier club. It's one of the six giants of the Star Card League." Pang Yu enthusiastically introduced, "The Adjudication Club mainly uses beast cards. Its most famous player is Nie Yuandao who started his career ten years ago. He has the highest level of seniority in the league, so other players respect him very much... Why did you ask about the Adjudication Club?"

"I saw the introduction of Nie Yuandao when I searched online about the Star Card game before, so I'm a little curious about him."
Choosing a job was a big deal, so he must investigate it before he made a decision. Xie Mingzhe continued to ask Pang Yu, "Brother Yu, do you know card designers? What is the prospect of this job?"

"The chief card designer of a big club has an annual salary of millions, and general card designers of hundreds of thousands. Of course, this is a job that ordinary people dream of." Pang Yu said with an admiring look, "However, once a person becomes a card designer and signs on with a club, he won't have the card copyright; it belongs to the club. Therefore, most original designers with high Inner Spirit will personally design cards to play. Only those who have low Inner Spirit, or whose age doesn't allow them to participate in a fierce competition, will become a professional card designer."

"!!!!" Hearing this, Xie Mingzhe was shocked.

Fortunately he had been on the alert, not tempted by the benefits or indiscriminately agreeing to join the Adjudication Club.

Once he became the card designer of Adjudication, copyrights of all cards he designed in the future were in the hands of the Adjudication Club. He preferred to be free to design and sell cards rather than to be tied to one tree.

Xie Mingzhe had currently only sold one card's copyright, but the first step was the most difficult. He had already sold one copyright, so naturally he could sell more.

After [Wu Song]'s copyright was sold for a high price, Xie Mingzhe had a vague feeling – people in this world didn't know Wu Song? He thought the card's design was quite common. Wasn't it just the plot of "Wu Song Slaying the Tiger" in Water Margin? Why did Legend Lan appear to particularly appreciate him?

Thinking of that, Xie Mingzhe couldn't resist asking Pang Yu, "Brother Yu, have you ever read Water Margin(shuǐ hǔ)?"

Pang Yu was stunned, saying, "Water tiger(shuǐ hǔ)※? A tiger that can swim?"
