Lucky Fish 81
Chapter 81: Exclusively for Ah Sheng
After scrapping nearly ten energy cards, one after another,
Yu Jin Li finally begins to grasp the concept of guiding mental energy. He became
confident in the next try.
This time he will definitely succeed.
Yu Jin Li skillfully sent mental power into the energy card
and guiding it in the desired trajectory, all with a good feeling this time.
The strokes are uniform, the mental power is stable, and the
guided energy runs smoothly along thick and thin lines. At this rate, as long
as it stabilized, the energy card will certainly be successfully crafted.
However, who could have thought that at this most critical
moment, the room was rudely slammed open from the outside.
"Who allowed you to secretly make energy cards here?"
Liu Qi's grumpy voice rang over, and an unsuspecting Yu Jin Li was taken aback.
The energy card that was about to succeed suddenly exploded again.
Seeing Yu Jin Li's energy card exploded, Liu Qi had a flash
of joy and disdain in his eyes. This kid couldn't even control his mental
power, yet he dared to secretly make energy cards. He must be really gutsy.
Yu Jin Li frowned and looked at the person who suddenly
broke into his room with a very unhappy expression.
Yu Jin Li usually has a good temper, but that doesn’t mean
that he couldn’t get angry. Thinking about how he nearly succeeded, but failed
and had to start all over again because of the person in front of him, Yu Jin
Li felt endless heartbreak.
"How can you just enter my room without knocking?"
Yu Jin Li said dissatisfied.
"Your room? You secretly craft cards here and even blew
up master’s property. It would already be merciful if you don’t get driven out
of here immediately. Yet, you still so shamelessly dare to say that this is
your room?"
Liu Qi’s tone was full of irony and contempt. He has long
been displeased with this newcomer who could quickly entered the master’s
heart.
Yu Jin Li’s frown became more and more severe. He didn't even
know the person in front of him, yet this person started to scold him as soon
as he came in, making him very unhappy.
"This room is what the master let me use, so it is my
room. You didn’t knock and just barged into someone else's room, which is an
ignorance of basic curtesy. Furthermore, not only did you not apologize, but
you also begin cursing, which is an indication of a lack of education."
Yu Jin Li retorted back. His every sentence was on point,
leaving Liu Qi speechless for a while.
"Quickly apologize to me!" Yu Jin Li looked directly
at Liu Qi and said with a firm expression.
"Who do you think you are? Don't think that just
because Madam Jiang brought you here that you can do anything you want."
Liu Qi accused loudly.
"I didn't do anything wrong. The real fool here is you,
rude and uneducated. Now you must apologize to me." Yu Jin Li insisted.
"You...” Just as Liu Qi wanted to say something, he was
interrupted by a violent voice from behind.
"Who allowed you to come up?"
At this moment, Master Kamon's stern voice rang out, filled with
displeasure and anger. It scared Liu Qi so much, he completely forgot about his
confrontation with Yu Jin Li.
"Master, I…” When Liu Qi saw Master Kamon standing
angrily behind him, he was so scared that his calves began to tremble. Out of
the corner of his eye, seeing Yu Jin Li uprightly standing there, Liu Qi decided
to throw the pot to him. 1
“Master, he’s secretly making energy cards. There were several
explosions, and we heard it downstairs. We were worried that he would damage
the things in the house, so we came up to stop him."
"No one is allowed to go to the second floor without my
permission. Have you already ate this rule into your stomach? Guards! Get him
out of my house, and do not allowed him to step a single foot into this manor
in the future!" Master Carmon calls out angrily, and a few tall and strong-looking
men suddenly appeared. 2
No matter how Liu Qi begged for mercy, he was still thrown
out.
"How is your practice?" Master Kamon asked.
"Almost succeeded." Yu Jin Li answered with a
frown. If he hadn't been interrupted by that person, he would have surely been
successful.
"Then go and practice again!" Master Kamon said,
neither of them took Liu Qi's matter to heart.
"Yes." Yu Jin Li replied. He returned to the room,
calmed down, and started crafting again as if nothing happened just now.
About ten minutes later, the last stroke of the heart-shaped
grass was smoothly connected back to the first stroke, forming a complete image.
The radiant energy enriched the heart-shaped grass, bringing it to life, and
filled Yu Jin Li with a sense of accomplishment.
The production of the first heart-shaped grass energy card
is finally complete!
Holding his first completed energy card, Yu Jin Li rushed to
Master Kamon’s studio excitedly. Even from the way he was knocking on the door,
one could sense his excitement.
"Come in." Master Kamon said.
"Master, master, look, I’m done." Yu Jin Li said
happily, holding his first heart-shaped grass energy card.
Although this is only an F-level energy card, it is the
first one he has ever created and therefor is of great significance.
Kamon raised his brows slightly and looked at the time on
the wall. It was only ten minutes after he left Yu Jin Li’s room. This kid
actually managed to make an energy card?
Even Master Kamon could not help being shocked.
Although it is only an F-level energy card, it would take a
master-level craftsmen at least ten minutes to make one, and the lower the craftsman’s
level, the longer it will take. As a result, Yu Jin Li actually took exactly ten
minutes to create one.
Is his mental power really only D-level? Master Kamon
doubted himself for the first time.
Despite his suspicion, Master Kamon showed no expression on
his face. He reached out in front of Yu Jin Li, and took the completed energy
card for careful inspection. He found that not only was the card completed
quickly, but is also of high quality, and became more satisfied with Yu Jin Li.
"Yes, you can be regarded as a card craftsman now, though
this is just the starting point of your card crafting career. Don't be proud
and complacent. You must know that craftsmen who are better than you are
everywhere. Do you understand?" Master Kamon exhorted, although his words
are not very pleasant, they are facts.
"Yes, I know." Yu Jin Li responded with a smile,
and didn't mind being criticized.
"Go back and practice harder. Success once does not
mean success again. Practice more to increase the success rate.” Master Kamon
added a few more words.
If it were someone else, Master Kamon wouldn’t have bother wasting
his saliva3, but
he was willing to say a few extra words for this talented and hardworking
teenager.
"Yes!" Yu Jin Li replied, and proceeded to return
to his assigned room with the energy card. He took out the practice board and
prepare to draw the next plant.
Although he had succeeded in making the heart-shaped grass
energy card and has already mastered its drawing, he is still relatively new to
the other plants and needs to practice on the energy board before attempting to
make their cards.
In the afternoon, Qiao Mu Lan didn’t come, but rather it was
Jiang Mo Sheng who came to pick Yu Jin Li up.
As soon as he got on the sport car, Yu Jin Li couldn't wait
to show off the heart-shaped grass energy card that he had made all by himself:
"Ah Sheng, look."
Jiang Mo Sheng looked at the radiant heart-shaped grass
energy card in his hand and was a little surprised, but then he touched Yu Jin
Li's little head and praised: "This is made by Little Chestnut? Little
Chestnut sure is awesome!"
"Hey, this is the first ever energy card I made. It is
for Ah Sheng. I will definitely make more better energy cards in the future.
All the energy cards I made will be used by Ah Sheng." Yu Jin Li happily
squeezed the energy card into Jiang Mo Sheng's hand and said with a smile.
When Jiang Mo Sheng heard the words, a warm current flowed
from his heart around all over his body, and his heart felt an itch that made
people want to scratch it.
"Thank you, Little Chestnut. Then I will wait for Little
Chestnut’s energy cards." Jiang Mo Sheng smiled, very satisfied.
It feels good to be able to have the attention of one’s
sweetheart. In the future, Little Chestnut will make energy cards that he will
use, and the two will definitely cooperate well with each other.
This kind of future, just thinking about it, has already
made Jiang Mo Sheng's blood boil. He must cultivate quickly to detoxify and
heal his power core, so that he can better use Little Chestnut’s energy cards. He
believes that they will be the best energy cards in the world.
At the moment, Jiang Mo Sheng couldn’t have possibly known
how true these thoughts were. He merely looked at Yu Jin Li's energy card through
the lens of "beauty in the eyes of a lover," and made some inferences
about the future.
"Well, it's all for Ah Sheng." Yu Jin Li said with
a happy smile.
Hehe, I have always accepted the help of Golden Thigh
before, and now I’m finally able to repay Golden Thigh, Yu Jin Li thought
contentedly in his heart.
Yu Jin Li study energy cards from Master Kamon during the
day, and goes home to broadcast his livestream at night. He uses his sleeping
time to cultivate. In this way, he can properly cultivate.
Jiang Mo Sheng, except for when picking up Yu Jin Li, spent
all his time cultivating. After knowing that the power of faith is necessary
for cultivation, he also plans to occasionally stir up StarNet4 to consolidate some
fans in the future.
It’s just that Jiang Mo Sheng, who doesn’t use StarNet and hasn’t
even sent out a single post ever since StarNet is launched, have no idea what
to post.
Half a month passed quickly.
Yu Jin Li has been able to produce five F-level energy cards,
and Jiang Mo Sheng’s cultivation base has reached the fourth level of the Qi Refining
Period. At the same time, one of the most major events in the entire Federation
once every ten years, the general election, has also finally begun.
Originally, in this election, the Yu family had intended to
take this as an opportunity to suppress the Jiang family. Not only would this increase
their family’s prestige, but it would also allow the generals from their own factions
to qualified to be elected as marshals, further expanding the Yu’s family
influence.
However, after Jiang Mo Sheng recovered, all these plans turned
into bubbles and completely collapsed. Yu Hong Rui was so angry that every time
he saw Jiang Zhen Tao, who was brimming with energy, his teeth itched with
hatred.
"Congratulations to Marshal Jiang for being re-elected."
Yu Hong Rui congratulated with a smile.
"Same to Marshal Yu." Jiang Zhen Tao also replied
with a smile.
In the general election, under the will of the common people
and the joint support of more than 80% of the members of the military, the
three marshals continued to be re-elected, and no one was replaced. This is
especially true for Jiang Zhen Tao, who received the highest number of votes,
making it impossible for anyone to make trouble.
As for the Head of State who has always been the least
likely to be re-elected, he also stood out this general election and continued
to be re-elected, becoming one of the very few re-elected Head of State in the
Federation’s history.
However, the real reason why the Head of State was able to
win the support of the people and got re-elected was because of a power booster
that he supported in research and development within the past few years. This
booster has been widely praised as allowing the level of an ability user to
rise both faster and stronger, thus bringing greater security to the
Federation.
It can be said that in this general election, the top
leadership positions basically remained unchanged. Although there were a lot of
changes in the middle-level positions, the impact on the Federation is minimum.
The massive general election ended peacefully.
Whether this peace exist in private, or whether a certain someone
is furious but just not knowing how to vent, that is unclear.

T/N
1)
To ‘throw the pot onto someone’ means to put the
blame on them.
2)
Master Kamon called out 来人
which lit. means ‘come people.’ He’s calling for the guards so that’s what it’s
translated as. Also, the guards were 不知道从哪里冒出来
(lit. means ‘didn’t know where they came from’), describing YJL’s perspective
of not knowing where they were hidden, not that they materialize out of thin
air.
