Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

Zhang Jingtian chose to pick a vehicle card over going to school for registration first.

After all, this way, after redeeming the vehicle, he could conveniently register at the Card Maker Association and then ride his own vehicle to school.

Just thinking about it was incredibly exciting.

After arriving in the magic city, he realized that the brand of the exchange coupon the principal gave him was ubiquitous.

He walked into the largest store.

Then, the waiter disappeared at an extremely fast speed until a boy with black-rimmed glasses coughed, pulling Zhang Jingtian back to reality.

Zhang Jingtian turned around and heard the man say, "That wasn't a person just now, just a Human Heroic Spirit."

Human Heroic Spirits were one of the rarest types Zhang Jingtian had ever seen.

He found it difficult to distinguish them from real humans.

If he encountered one outdoors, he could easily be deceived.

"Then who are you?" Zhang Jingtian asked in a low voice, looking at the guide dressed like a programmer.

"Human," the guide said, turning around and gesturing for Zhang Jingtian to follow.

As he walked, he said to Zhang Jingtian, "As a Gold Card Maker, sir, you should want to choose a purple vehicle card, right?"

"Yes," Zhang Jingtian said, taking out the exchange coupon.

The guide smiled immediately upon seeing the exchange coupon:

"Oh, so you have it, sir. In that case, what we need to do now is choose the one that suits you because price isn't something we need to consider."

Zhang Jingtian hummed in agreement, then heard the guide continue:

"Sir, do you have any particular type you like? If not, we can take our time looking."

"Something a bit more underworld-ish, I guess."

Zhang Jingtian didn't plan to shed his Ninth District label; on the contrary, he wanted more people to know he was from the Ninth District and make it his brand.

The guide smiled but maintained his composure and professionalism:

"Alright, sir, if I'm not mistaken, you're from the Ninth District?"

As the most popular district for ghosts, the Ninth District was notoriously underworld-ish.

However, the Ninth District's reputation hadn't been good in the past two years, and many people were unwilling to admit they were from there.

"Yes," Zhang Jingtian puffed out his chest, "Do you have that type?"

The guide immediately said confidently:

"Of course, sir, you must believe that we have everything. If you can't find a suitable vehicle card here, you'll have even less chance elsewhere."

Then, Zhang Jingtian followed the guide's footsteps as if walking through an alley, wandering randomly throughout the store, and he realized just how big this vehicle brand store was.

Soon, Zhang Jingtian stopped at a corner where he saw many uniquely shaped vehicles.

In fact, along the way, Zhang Jingtian saw the most vehicle cards based on various ferocious beasts.

After all, for most people, riding various ferocious beasts and soaring in the sky was their childhood dream.

However, Zhang Jingtian found it too ordinary.

He was quite interested in this batch of vehicle cards in front of him.

Among them was something that looked like a Balenciaga-sponsored body bag.

Honestly, Zhang Jingtian found it too abstract that this kind of thing could be a vehicle, and even of purple quality.

There were also relatively normal ones, like coffins.

The coffins were all the same, with only quality and color to distinguish them.

However, Zhang Jingtian had seen too many coffins and was getting tired of them.

The guide noticed Zhang Jingtian's hesitation and said immediately:

"Actually, a vehicle card is something that you, sir, will need to use for a long time. So, whether it's suitable or not, you need to experience it yourself to know."

Then, Zhang Jingtian was led to a separate cubicle, and several vehicle cards that Zhang Jingtian thought were decent were placed in his hand.

Zhang Jingtian was still a bit confused because the size of this cubicle was about the same as a changing room.

Honestly, Zhang Jingtian suspected that if he summoned a card, he might directly destroy the entire cubicle.

But seeing the guide's mysterious smile, Zhang Jingtian thought he was probably just too unrefined.

So, he directly summoned the first vehicle card, that abstract body bag.

First, he smelled a nauseating stench, and after kicking open the body bag, he saw that there was even liquid from the dissolved corpse inside.

It was said that soaking in this liquid had a beauty effect, which was the highlight of this vehicle card.

You could enjoy all-around beauty while in the body bag.

But just thinking about using corpse water for beauty made Zhang Jingtian feel disgusted.

He really wanted to know what mental state the card maker was in when they created this card.

The second vehicle card was a paper boat.

If the body bag was just about the size of the cubicle, then the paper boat was much larger.

However, as the paper boat grew larger, the cubicle unexpectedly grew larger as well.

Zhang Jingtian couldn't help but suspect that this cubicle might also be a card.

The paper boat also had its special effects. When sitting on the boat, paper figures would look around, able to block an ambush for him once.

This effect reminded Zhang Jingtian of the Paper Man Substitute spell card; perhaps paper figures all had similar abilities.

Although the paper boat's design was simple, the effect was still good.

The third vehicle card was obviously not in the Ninth District style.

Although it was also related to the ghost race, the entire card face and design concept were closer to the magic city.

This was a Ghost Motorcycle, with the entire motorcycle built from bones.

A painted ghost face hung in front of the motorcycle, and blue flames would spew from the vehicle when it was started.

Just like ghost fire.

Zhang Jingtian had only seen this motorcycle by chance, as if something was destined.

And after seeing its true appearance, Zhang Jingtian found it even cooler.

Flying in the sky with this thing would be really awesome.

And such a Ghost Motorcycle had a pretty awesome effect.

It could allow the user to enter a spirit state.

The spirit state meant that, except for the ghost race, no one else could hit you.

And you could pass through walls like a ghost.

Of course, this state would disappear after Zhang Jingtian used his mental power.

However, Zhang Jingtian felt that this effect was even better than the paper boat in terms of saving his life.
