After breaking the world record, Xie Mingzhe returned to his individual space to make cards without a break.

Since the name 'Uncle Chubby' was on the announcement of the whole server, his email box was brimming over with emails. Except for the several club presidents that he had known before politely asking about the card group, there were many strangers that sent him emails. Some of them even said, "Uncle Chubby, I'm your fan. I love your character cards soooo much!"

Xie Mingzhe was a little surprised that he even had fans?

His card store hadn't published new cards for days and had kept selling the 10 IDE cards made before. As a result, there had been a downward trend in popularity. Naturally, players who didn't care about IDE cards wouldn't come again after checking the card display cabinet on the first floor. And every big club had already collected the full set of IDE cards so they didn't need to crazily buy them like they did before, which meant that presidents wouldn't come to his store. The data that Chi Qing gave him proved this——the customer traffic had been decreasing continuously.

It was time to excite everybody with new cards.

Of course, they needed to wait until meeting Legend Chen. But preparing in advance wouldn't be wrong anyway.

Xie Mingzhe didn't go to sleep until it was late.
At seven the next morning, he was awoken by the alarm clock. When he went downstairs, Chen Xiao had already been ready. He even woke up earlier than him.

Chen Xiao was wearing casual clothes today. When he first visited Chen Qianlin, he wore a suit like he had an interview. He looked more handsome and younger in casual clothes. Obviously he was super happy and he couldn't even hide the smile on his face.

Xie Mingzhe approached and asked, "Brother Chen. Should we leave this early?"

"My brother's place is so far. We'd better hit the road early." Chen Xiao thought in his mind that he could spend more time with his brother if they got there early.

Other people in the studio were still sleeping. They set off after having breakfast and smoothly arrived at Chen Qianlin's place at 10am.

Chen Xiao approached the gate and rang the bell, followed by Xie Mingzhe.

Chen Qianlin directly opened the door for them without a word. They walked into the room and found that Chen Qianlin was painting in his studio.

Sunlight flooded into the room through the curtains and bathed his profile. The elegant man was so white that his skin was almost transparent. His pale eyes seriously stared at the drawing board in front of him and his long and thin fingers were holding the brush to carefully paint a plant.

He was so serious when painting, so Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao stopped at the same time since they didn't want to break the silence in the room.

Chen Qianlin continued staring at the painting and said, "One minute. I'll finish soon."

His cold voice was so calm, from which you couldn't feel any emotion, but it was very comforting, like drinking a glass of cold water on a hot day which made you happy and relaxed.

Chen Xiao stood outside the studio and watched his brother painting, just like a fan. The scene where his brother sat in warm light and seriously painted always appeared in his dreams in recent years. Now he could see it in person, Chen Xiao's mind was full of all kinds of emotions. For a few moments he even felt that he had gone back to the period of time when he and his brother were teenagers and only had each other.
