Tian Du City.

Sword Card Master Association.

Lu Ming looked at the results of the test that he had just done and deep in his thoughts—the data was not correct.

Although he knew that his talent was poor, the disciples had good talents! He clearly used the Art of Equalization and he could also feel the thrill that came with high speed cultivation!

How could it be that low?

Especially the Sword Card Master talent, it was only 5.3 points…

“Hahahahahahaha!”

A shameless spirit body rolled about on the floor laughing.

It knew that Lu Ming was not talented. But it never expected that it would be to this extent! Given his talents, he still wanted to beat it up? Damn! Why were his points that low?!

“Lu Ming…”

Xiao-Xiaojian was full of emotions. “Work hard on your cultivation…”

Lu Ming was expressionless.

He stifled the urge to beat the card, regaining his composure.

At this moment…

He had to figure it out.

Shush!

Lu Ming’s eyes were slightly closed.

Buzz—

There was a steady stream of energy sweeping over him wave by wave!

This was his current cultivation speed. Even if he was not a top-notch talent, he was not worse than the disciples from The First Academy!

Therefore, how did his score come about?!

Or perhaps…

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Hence…

He went to the special small room that was able to block the Art of Equalization and used the [Cloud Talent] Card once again…

Ding—

“The signal cannot be detected!”

Ding—

“Energy cannot be transmitted.”

“The test has failed!”

Lu Ming felt somewhat embarrassed.

Oh.

The damn small room not only blocked the Art of Equalization, it also blocked the energy and signal… There was no other choice. Lu Ming took an energy cable and data with him into the room to transmit the [Cloud Talent] Card. He then did another test in the special small room.

Well…

The test was successful!

——

Test Results:

Name: Er Gouzi.

Card Creator Talent: 10 points.

Sword Card Master Talent: 5.3 points.

——

“Understood.”

Lu Ming understood right away.

True enough.

He had the same score after the Art of Equalization was blocked!

This meant that the [Cloud Talent] Card could not detect the increase due to the Art of Equalization!

Or perhaps, since the Art of Equalization was a type of BUFF[1], or was a dynamic it did not belong to the body and could not be tested!

Well…

Think about it.

Since one could block it, it did not belong to oneself.

One could understand as many energy rings that surrounded the body, providing a steady stream of talents and energy supplements.

That was it.

In that case…

The tested talent was Lu Ming’s real talents!

Lu Ming looked around.

Well…

It seemed to make sense.

Look, at the very least, he had 10 points for his Card Creator talents!

Back then when he was in Breeze Pavilion, he had multiple “less than one” scores and he was told that he belonged to the type that fared equally in all areas!

It was very scary.

And now…

Hehe.

It was not as low as he imagined.

Well…

It was fairly okay.

Lu Ming had accepted the score.

However, he had many questions that he wanted to ask Li Haoran regarding the talent data. Therefore, he went to Li Haoran’s office.

Over there.

Li Haoran looked in excitement at the screen.

Cough.

Lu Ming coughed to alert him.

“Master.”

Li Haoran stood up excitedly. “Come quickly, let me show you something interesting.”

Lu Ming was silent.

This expression…

He was suddenly reminded of his long gone youth and of the few hopeless homebodies in the dormitory who always shared foreign ladies with him…

Well, he wondered if they were still single…

Well…

They must be single!

The few of them read novels without trying anything in real life. It was impossible that they had someone they liked!

Shaking his head, Lu Ming stopped thinking about the past.

He stood next to Li Haoran and leaned in to take a look. He was shocked to discover that his test results were displayed on the screen!!!

“Haha!

“Master, look.

“There is a fool here!”

Li Haoran was very excited. “His name is Er Gouzi. I noticed that he is a loser with the lowest comprehensive talents score! Haha, he is the loser among losers!”

Lu Ming turned sullen.

Xiao-Xiaojian: (〃’▽’〃).

“Haha.

“And this.

“Master, look here.”

Li Haoran was surprised. “Energy Warrior talent 4.1 points, Sharpshooter talent 1.5 points. Hahaha. Do you think this could be considered a talent that can’t have offspring?!”

Li Haoran said excitedly.

This was true.

After being lectured by his master, he began paying attention to the list. He wanted to know if there was anyone who was worse than him, in the end…

He was delighted and happy to see this.

However…

He did not notice something.

The person next to him was becoming increasingly sullen…

After a long time…

Li Haoran finally noticed that something was wrong. At the sight of Lu Ming’s livid face, he shut his mouth and was somewhat nervous, wondering what he had done wrong.

“Master?”

Li Haoran felt somewhat apprehensive.

“Who let you look at this!?

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

Lu Ming had a strict expression on his face.

“Huh?”

Li Haoran was apprehensive. “This is displayed at the back end of the servers.”

“So what? Does that mean you can look at it?”

Lu Ming furrowed his brows. “Do you know what privacy is?! If what just happened gets out today, no one will use a Talent Card to do testing anymore?! The test results should be the user’s personal information. Who allowed you to make fun of it?!”

Shush!

Li Haoran felt cold all of a sudden.

He finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

That was right.

How could he do this?!

Even if he had access to the private information, he had no right to look at them! Besides, he looked at the data and made fun of the users!

“I’m sorry!”

Li Haoran felt guilty.

Master was indeed Master!

His sense of social responsibility was far beyond his!

“It’s good that you understand.”

Lu Ming sighed.

He was helpless as well.

In general, it depended on the company’s ethics to protect the privacy of the users!

And unfortunately…

Most capitalists were not ethical.

In his previous life, all the users’ data privacy was disregarded by some companies… In the end, if one searched for xx on “Baidoo[2]”, one would soon receive many calls regarding xx…

It was everywhere!

It was terrifying!

Right now…

He did not want that to happen.

“I understand now!”

Li Haoran said seriously. “Master, please rest assured. I will block the background data. No one will be able to look at it. The algorithm will run by itself!”

“Very good.”

Lu Ming felt grateful.

Li Haoran understood right away after listening to his advice.

In that case…

The privacy issue was resolved…

Of course.

This had nothing to do with the fact that his comprehensive talent was the lowest and he was being laughed at. He was simply doing this for the sake of the innumerable number of users of the Talent Card…

“Haoran.”

Lu Ming pretended that nothing had happened as he watched Li Haoran while he closed the data. “When I looked at the talent list just now, I noticed that there was a talent with a single digit…”

“Yes.”

Li Haoran corrected him. “To be precise, most of them are single digits.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Why was it that these people had such a good memory!!?

Cough, cough.

Lu Ming coughed. “Were additional points added to these talents?”

“Yes.”

Li Haoran was certain. “Look, for example the only talent with 10 points. According to our first algorithm, it is estimated to be two or three points. As for those at the back with four or five points, if their score was calculated according to the original algorithm, they would probably be lower than one point.”

Lu Ming was expressionless.

Very well.

This was the first time that he had such an intuitive understanding of his talents.

“The so-called addition…”

Seeing that his master was not very satisfied, Li Haoran went into a serious explanation. “You can understand it as increasing the coefficient of the ultra-low region talent, in that case, Er Gouzi’s score and reducing the coefficient of the super high region, in that case Senior Sister Xiaobai, so as to reach a balance!”

Simply put.

For the talents in the ultra-low regions, a 2-point talent and a 10-point talent might be similar…

And for the talents in the super high regions, the difference between 99 points and 98 points might be a world of a difference…

This was generally the case.

The higher the score, the harder it was!

The more talented the better!

It was some kind of recursive algorithm.

This was also the ultimate solution for the talent remodeling system that was developed to its extreme.

Lu Ming looked sullen.

Oh.

It turns out that there was already an addition to the 10 points…

Hahahaha.

Damn!

The “less than one” score that he had obtained previously was damn true!

“That’s why I was excited just now.”

Li Haoran was slightly embarrassed as he explained quietly. “Master, I am not laughing at Er Gouzi. It was just that the single digit talent score is very rare especially under the talent addition system…

“This person, Er Gouzi must be a loser… not suitable for cultivation in the truest sense!

“From what I understand.

“Even if this person goes through various means and methods, he will barely reach three-star, and he will not break through to a four-star. This is because his talent is not sufficient to break through the bottleneck!

“This man’s talent is interesting.

“Senior Sister Xiaobai’s talent is very helpful to our high score algorithm.

“And this person…”

Li Haoran was full of emotions. “He is of great help to our low score algorithm. If there is a chance, I would like to get to know him.”

One man was silent.

Oh.

Hahahaha…

A card spirit lay flat in the card bag. It had been very long since it had felt that comfortable, ( ̄) ̄)↗

Well…

This was indeed karma.

Right then…

Lu Ming sighed.

After having an intuitive understanding of his talent, he was not going to discuss this problem anymore. Right now, he was more interested to know his disciples’ talents!!!

For example…

Xiaobai!

The disciples had the first version of the data, but the second version had not been tested.

Hence…

Lu Ming called his disciples and tested the second version.

There were many sounds of testing being completed on the square. This batch of disciples was talented. Most of them were from The First Academy. They had stable talents.

Well…

Most of their Sword Card Master talents were stable and were around 80 points!

It was considered qualified genius level results!

According to the latest version of the evaluation criteria, 60 points was passing, 70 points was excellent, 80 points was a genius, 90 points was a devil… This was the approximate grading.

Afterward…

It was Xiaobai’s turn.

“I will do it.”

Xiaobai was happy to do the testing.

——

Test Results:

Name: Xiaobai.

Card Creator Talent: 99.9 points.

Sword Card Master Talent: 99.9 points.

Elementalist Talent: 99.9 points.

——

Ding!

“The testing is complete.”

“Dear Xiaobai, hello. Congratulations, your average talent is better than 99% of the world’s cultivators!”

Shush!

Everyone was silent.

All the disciples could not help but widen their eyes.

Damn!

They knew that Miss Xiaobai was very powerful, but they never thought that she would be that strong! 99.9 points! Moreover, it was an improved 99.9 points!

This was considered a demonic talent!

“Huh?”

Xiaobai frowned. “Why isn’t it 100 points?”

Li Haoran quickly explained, “From 90 points onward, the talent region keeps increasing and when it is at 99.9 points, it will be infinitely expanded…

“Your score is already considered full marks.”

Li Haoran was astounded.

This was true.

Her talent…

What did Senior Sister Xiaobai eat when she was growing up?

99.9…

→_→

Lu Ming looked slightly guilty.

Right now, he suspected that he was the one who caused her to lose the 0.1 point…

Cough.

This could not be!

Didn’t Li Haoran say that the last 0.1 gap was the largest?!

At this moment…

The noisy square had quietened down.

The proud disciples were finally convinced.

“Xiaobai is amazing!”

The disciples wailed from the bottom of their hearts.

Afterward…

It was Lu Ming’s turn.

“I’ll skip it.”

Lu Ming sighed.

He had just tested himself and felt humiliated at being discovered by Li Haoran. Besides, he knew that his talents were somewhat different from ordinary people…

Cough.

“Master~”

Xiaobai tugged at the corner of his shirt.

She wanted to know.

Although she knew that her master definitely had a full score, she still wanted to know.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Looking at the expectant gazes of his disciples, what else could he say?

In fact, it was alright that he had poor talents. Lu Ming was certain that even if he had 2 points for his talents, his disciples would be astounded that he was able to reach five-star…

This was more shocking!

Therefore…

Lu Ming did not seem to worry.

However, he was more worried about Li Haoran…

Just now, Li Haoran said that the man was a fool. If he discovered that the man was his master, it must be very embarrassing. However, the disciples were looking forward to it, including Xiaobai…

Well…

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “I’ll try it.”

Hence…

He took a [Cloud Talent] Card, wrote down his name silently and paused briefly. Before the card was activated, he threw it toward somewhere in his body.

Well…

[Cloud Talent] Card was directed toward Xiao-Xiaojian!

Yes.

Lu Ming remembered that at Breeze Pavilion, Xiao-Xiaojian’s talents could be tested as well!

Since that was the case…

Shush!

Lights and shadows flashed.

——

Test Results:

Name: Lu Ming.

Card Creator Talent: 0 point.

Sword Card Master Talent: 0 point.

Elementalist Talent: 0 point.

——

Ding!

“The testing is completed”.

“Dear Lu Ming, hello. Congratulations, your average talent is better than 0% of the world’s cultivators!”

Shush!

The audience was silent.

Xiaobai widened her big eyes.

Li Haoran widened his eyes in disbelief as well.

0…

0 points?!

How could that be possible?!

Was there this kind of data?!

There was indeed 0 point. It was possible to have 0 points when one had no talent in a certain area. However, it was too rare… After all, one must have some talents to be able to cultivate. This was a fixed score. One would only have such a score when one was not talented in that area or when one had a negative score!

However…

Lu Ming’s Sword Card Master talent was 0 points as well!

Was that possible?

Lu Ming!

The founder of the Sword Card Master Association!

0 points!

Besides, Lu Ming’s Card Creator talent was 0 points as well!

Was that possible?

After creating numerous legendary cards and causing a sensation whenever there was a new card, Lu Ming’s Card Creator talent turned out to be 0! It was hard to believe!

Hence…

Just when everyone was dumbstruck, Li Haoran suddenly thought of a possibility.

“I understand now,” Li Haoran said in a deep voice.

Shush!

All the disciples looked toward him.

“It’s my mistake.”

“The last time when we helped Senior Sister Xiaobai to do the testing, it was the same case. Therefore, we excluded Senior Sister Xiaobai in the data for the first version. And this time, we set the score in increments and in multiples, so we ignored this problem, but now…

“It’s highly possible…

“That Master’s score exceeded the limit once again!”

Li Haoran enunciated every word.

Wow—

There was a loud gasp from the crowd!

Exceeded the limit?!

Yes.

Exceeded the limit!

How scary was the limit of 100 points?

Li Haoran was very sure about one thing. Even Xiaobai who had extraordinary talents, only had 99.9 points and it was very difficult to get the last 0.1 points!

However…

Master did it.

He did not just reach 100 points, in fact he went even further…

Hence…

The algorithm system crashed again!

Since Lu Ming’s data was beyond the range that could be understood by the system, it became 0 again!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

At the thought of this…

The disciples were astounded. He was indeed the president!

“Master, you are amazing!”

Xiaobai exclaimed.

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Xiao-Xiaojian was dazed as well. Damn! It turns out that my talents are so extraordinary!

Right then…

“Should we calculate a third algorithm?”

Someone asked.

“No need.”

Li Haoran shook his head, looking solemn. “So far, very few have the same score as Senior Sister Xiaobai! Master is the only one who can exceed the limit! If we recalculate the algorithm, it may take a long time. It is better to exclude Master.”

Hence…

After some discussion, the disciples decided to exclude Lu Ming from the talent system.

Lu Ming broke out in a sweat.

He did not really care. The existence of the talent system was to help them to better recruit disciples and to have a better use of the Art of Equalization!

Well…

There was one more problem.

How could one test their talent after equalization?!

However…

Lu Ming finally thought of a way.

Since the Talent Card could not be used, he would do it himself!

The so-called talent test was simply one of the few formulas! He could test them one by one and calculate a score!

For example…

Cultivation speed!

A Talent Card was used to test the body’s talents. He could deduce his real cultivation speed by making a reverse deduction of his cultivation speed and cultivation outcome!

Well…

It was perfect.

Hence…

In this way, Lu Ming could still get his score for his current cultivation talent after applying equalization—82 points. It was a real genius talent!

The score was slightly higher than his disciples!

Although it was Xiaobai who helped increase his talent…

Cough.

Anyway.

With this talent, it meant that Lu Ming could cultivate to six-star now!

There was no other doubt!

Even if he cultivated to peak five-star now, there would be no problem in reaching six-star! As for a higher stage of seven-star…

They would talk about it then.

In that case…

Lu Ming finally felt at ease.

The problem that he was most worried about was finally resolved!

At this moment.

The testing of the talent system was a perfect success!

They did not use it in the initial admission program. With the [Cloud Talent] Card, they could use more accurate and larger amounts of data to do a prediction!

In that case…

They could launch the admission program.

This time…

They would only take in talents who scored 85 points and above in Sword Card Master talent!

Not only that…

He would leave the rest to Li Haoran. Lu Ming believed that under Li Haoran’s lead, the Sword Card Master Association would soar to new heights!

The comprehensive talent of the Sword Card Master Association would become more and more powerful!

In the room.

Lu Ming stretched lazily.

Now that the problem with his talents had been settled, he could finally focus on researching cards, swordplay, as well as improving his combat abilities!

This was his forte!

Hence…

Lu Ming spent the entire day studying cards.

That afternoon.

As usual, Xiaobai went out with the disciples to practice flying. Lu Ming had to have his dinner in the canteen. However, when he reached the canteen…

Greeting his eyes was…

White everywhere!

Ss——

Lu Ming took a glance and gasped a breath of cold air.

Papaya fried rice, iced coconut milk, steamed papaya, braised papaya…

What the hell was with the menu?

“What is happening?”

Lu Ming was shocked.

“Hello, Master.”

Li Haoran explained in an unusually serious manner. “This is what happened. According to scientific research, one’s talent is related to the diet to a certain extent! In our association, you and Senior Sister Xiaobai are so talented, the diet must have played a part, especially for Senior Sister who is going through puberty!

“So…

“After discussing with the disciples, we have decided to use you and Senior Sister’s diet as a reference for a month. The entire association will use papaya and coconut milk as the main ingredients in the menu!”

Lu Ming had gone crazy.

Damn the talent!

Did they know why Xiaobai ate those foods?!

She ate them to…

“This won’t do.”

Lu Ming was in tears.

It was impossible for the entire association to eat papaya!!!

And…

What if there were complications…

Oh my goodness!

Lu Ming’s scalp felt numb at the thought of it.

“Don’t worry, we are only trying it out.”

Li Haoran scratched his head.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming sighed.

Since they were just trying…

Well…

Since they were willing to try, they could go ahead to try. They would stop it after seeing that there were no effects after a few days. Lu Ming thought about it and felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Talents…

What a joke.

If the diet could increase one’s talents, he would do a headstand and swallow a huge sword.

One week later.

There was good news.

The association was shocked to recruit a disciple who had 90 points for Sword Card Master talent. This was the first disciple of the association in the true sense after the on-campus job fair!

Everyone in the association was elated!

After three days of assessment, the disciple officially joined the association.

Right then…

Li Haoran and the rest were surprised to find that their cultivation speed was slightly faster. Although it was not apparent, everyone was encouraged by it!

As expected…

It was useful to eat papaya and coconut milk!

Hence…

After this, food containing papaya and coconut milk became the must-have food for everyone in the Sword Card Master Association!

Lu Ming was speechless.

Xiaobai was silent.
