Tang Muzhou praised him, "This is a pretty good one. Its skill targets the whole God card group. In addition, in all the cards that you have made so far, the degree of this one's intricacy is the highest. The question is, how did you design the weapon? It looks like metal. If it was made of metal it would be divided into the Metal card group."

Xie Mingzhe said, "In order to avoid the system classifying this card into the Metal attribute, I didn't use metal factors when drawing the weapon. Nine-Dragon-Fire-Net has the flame damage effect, so it was divided into the Fire attribute. Given the principle that Fire counters Metal, it would be much easier for it to target the opponent's god cards."

Tang Muzhou nodded with a smile, "It looks like you have understood the database's rules. And this is really an excellent weapon design."

Xie Mingzhe was very happy to get Legend Tang's praise and then he excitedly asked, "Two cards made today target the Metal attribute. Is there any other card group that need to be targeted?"

Tang Muzhou said, "So far you have targeted most of the mainstream card groups, Plant, Animal, Spirit of Creatures, Spirit of Non-Creatures as well as God. Since IDE cards are merely used to enrich the battle strategy and every game can only use one IDE card, it is enough just making all these cards."

Xie Mingzhe found the omission in his words and he couldn't resist speaking, "The Human card group hasn't been targeted yet, right?"

Tang Muzhou said, "You can simply draw a card and see if the "human instantly dies" effect can pass the examination."

Xie Mingzhe casually drew an unnamed kid with the curse skill whose effect was the Human group instantly dies......As expected, it was rejected by the system, "The skill description can't be examined.". He remembered that the descriptions like "instant death" could only be used in sub-classifications, so he changed the target to be a male human. However, it was rejected again. He continued to change it into human female and got the same consequence.

Xie Mingzhe was confused, "What is happening? Is the Human group immune to the instant death effect?"

Tang Muzhou smiled faintly, "It is not impossible. The truth is that the human instant death skill has been made before so your cards were judged as a repetition of it."

"......" Xie Mingzhe was quite surprised, "was it made by the designer from another club?"

"I think so, but I don't know which club it was exactly." Tang Muzhou paused, then said, "The human IDE card which overlaps with your card must already exist in the database. As a result, your instant death description was turned down by the system, which means that currently the way that you make IDE cards has become widely known."

At once Xie Mingzhe was enlightened.

The reason that Legend Tang suggested for him to make IDE cards was to set the ball rolling. First he took the lead in making the IDE cards targeting the six big clubs, attracting the whole league's attention. Then every club, of course, would race to study the IDE card. In that case, there would be a lot of available IDE cards to enrich league matches' strategies.

Xie Mingzhe didn't know the reason why this legend did all of this secret work, planning behind the scenes, but he had a hunch—— this was not a bad thing. When IDE cards flow freely, there would consequently be more unpredictable instakill cards in future games. At that time the situation would become messier and more interesting.

The series of IDE cards had already earned him fame in the original card community and brought him a fortune. And thanks to Tang Muzhou, who leaked the card group information to him and supplied him with ideas, he could make nine IDE cards in a row in such a short period of time!
