Card Maker: My Cards Infinite Chain

laboratory

Yu Cang was sitting on his seat, playing with a blank soul card in his hand, while Gu Jieshuang was sitting on the edge of the table.

"If what I just used in the arena was the prototype of Sword Intent..." Gu Jieshuang fell into deep thought, "That would make sense..."

"Huh?" Yu Cang turned his head, "What do you mean?"

"Boss, if I remember correctly, the rule of synchronization is that the sum of the star levels of each material needs to be equal to the final soul card, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I can sense that the star level of Hantian's Ultimate Slash is fourteenth level. The materials I chose are fifth-level Sword Intent and tenth-level Seal-Breaking Hantian. The sum of the two is fifteenth level. The synchronization failed. "Gu Jieshuang's eyes revealed a look of recollection, "But fortunately, the soul card of Jianyi is very special. Its star level can be changed according to my understanding. I urgently lowered the star level of Jianyi, and then I succeeded. .”

"...A very powerful operation." Yu Cang clicked his tongue.

This operation sounds simple, as it takes advantage of the characteristics of the sword, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is actually very difficult.

Understand and appreciate this kind of thing, you can work hard to improve, but you will fall wherever you can.

For example, for a person who has been writing all year round, the memory of writing has been engraved in his subconscious mind. Even if you try to pretend that you can't write, it will soon be revealed.

Sword intent is even more difficult than this. After all, writing may be able to disguise proficiency, but can inner thoughts still be disguised?

Even though it only lowered the star level by one level, it required an extremely deep understanding of the sword's intention to do it, and Gu Jieshuang also had to use it directly in an emergency situation like a battle, making it even more difficult.

"But what I want to say is actually another thing." Gu Jieshuang said while thinking, "At first, I thought that synchronization, like fusion, has unlimited possibilities... Just like the boss's Dragon of the Sacrifice of the Vortex, It can fuse everything it swallows together to give birth to a new powerful individual.

"I originally thought that the synchronization should be similar. After all, my two seal-breaking swords jumped out at the same time and were then made into soul cards by the boss... Therefore, I used the fifth-level and tenth-level synchronization, even if the summoning failed. , it should also have failed because of insufficient strength... But in my perception just now, it doesn't seem to be the case."

"You mean." Yu Cang understood, "The fifteenth-level soul card you want to summon does not exist at all?"

"That's right." Gu Jieshuang nodded, "If my summoning fails, no matter what, I can feel a little hope, but just now, the power of the fifteenth level was nothing, and I didn't have the slightest possibility of summoning... Now think about it, this Perhaps the limit of 'coordination'."

As we all know, synchronized summoning is to first simplify and summarize the core abilities of high-level soul cards into "coordination", and then use coordination and other materials that provide star levels to upgrade the stars.

Therefore, there is a limit to coordination, and there cannot be an unlimited number of stars... It seems very reasonable.

Just now, Gu Jieshuang's coordinated Sword Intent Soul Card naturally had an upper limit of more than fourteen levels, but Gu Jieshuang's knowledge was limited. She had never even seen Hantian Sword Intent after the fourteenth level, so she could not synchronize it.

Unlike fusion, synchronization cannot break through the limits of one's own imagination.

"Theoretically, as long as your understanding of Hantian Sword Intention exceeds the fourteenth level, or you have personally experienced the Hantian Sword Intent after the fourteenth level, then the soul cards of the fifteenth level and above can be synchronized."

"Yes...but it is still limited by strength."

"I see...your understanding is very useful." Yu Cang nodded, lost in thought.

Coordination has its limits. Sword intent aside, this is also a new rule related to synchronization.

Gu Jieshuang chuckled and stuck out her tongue: "It'll be great if I can help the boss~"

Yu Cang took out his notebook and wrote these things down on it.

"Speaking of which." Yu Cang thought for a while, "Now your deck is still a little too unsystematic...I didn't pay attention to it at first, but after meeting the opponent, I can see the disadvantages."

Although it is a Sword Intent deck, there are only two Sword Intent Soul cards. This thing... even Yu Cang himself has no confidence in copying the second one.

Therefore, once the two sword intents enter the death cooldown, the scene will be relatively passive, and the only way to support the scene is with the frost white sword.

"No." Gu Jieshuang said with a smile, "I really like this deck!"

Sword Intention is the power she is interested in, and the soul card was made by the boss (and Senior Ning) personally for her. What is there to be dissatisfied with such a deck?

Not to mention its high strength, even if this deck is just an entertainment deck, she still likes to use it.

"...I will find a way to strengthen you as well." Yu Cang said with certainty.

Although the two Sword Intention Soul cards are very strong, there are still few ways to deal with the enemy in the entire deck.

Just like just now, when you encounter someone like Chang Kong who has weird abilities and doesn't play by common sense, you will be at a disadvantage.

In fact, of the five Gu insects thrown by Chang Kong, the only one that posed the greatest threat to Gu Jieshuang was Rock Eater, and the other Gu insects did not cause much trouble.

Didn’t you see that even the Nightmare Eater who directly summoned the epic summoned beast from zero distance didn’t last long under the snow waterfall?

But Rock Eating is different. This ability to change gravity as soon as it is activated is so weird.

The combat capabilities of Gu Jieshuang's two seal-breaking long swords are both outstanding in the epic level, but there is a problem. Such long swords also need to be controlled by humans... Once the gravity changes and Gu Jieshuang cannot lift the sword, then No matter how powerful the sword is, it's all in vain.

It is conceivable that Gu Jieshuang will definitely encounter more strange abilities in the future, and sometimes [Extreme Slash] may be able to be cracked.

In addition to the Sword Intention Soul card, the other spell cards in Gu Jieshuang's deck are still the third one from Frost White Sword.

It must be upgraded...at least the methods must be diverse.

Yu Cang glanced at the entry library.

[Sword Intention] entry, what else can it be combined with...

He picked up the blank soul card, selected two entries, and was about to implant it when he suddenly paused.

As if thinking of something, Yu Cang raised the corners of his mouth, raised his head, looked at Gu Jieshuang, pointed to his lips with his finger: "Jieshuang, kiss me."

"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and slid along the edge of the table away from Yu Cang, "Boss, why are you doing this suddenly..."

"I found that kissing can inspire me." Yu Cang said matter-of-factly, "Besides, you are my girlfriend. This is the right that a boyfriend should have!"

Gu Jieshuang's face turned red.

right.

The relationship is no longer the same.

Some of it was unreal, and she didn't even react.

However, the first two times she took the initiative to kiss Yu Cang were based on sneak attacks. They mainly kissed and ran away without any psychological burden. Now it was the boss who requested it. Looking at Yu Cang's eyes, Gu Jieshuang felt as if her body was filled with lead and she couldn't move at all.

"Well, can you next time..."

"that's not allowed."

"Then-then close your eyes!"

Yu Cang:... (staring)

"This, this, this..." Gu Jieshuang was in confusion.

No, Gu Jieshuang, what’s wrong with you? Cheer up!

You were so domineering just now, you just made the boss "a bully", why are you so embarrassed now even for an ordinary kiss?

Damn it, show off the momentum you had just now! The way you look at your boss, he is clearly looking down on you!

Gu Jieshuang gritted her teeth and spoke in a low voice: "Don't look at me yet...Boss, look, I just took out the blank soul card. Do you have any inspiration? You draw it first and pretend If you didn't find me, I must..."

"Trouble." Yu Cangteng stood up and leaned closer.

…

Ding.

Yu Cang looked at the four words "Implantation failed" that were clearly visible on the recorder and sighed with some regret.

Sure enough, kissing will increase the shipment rate or something...it's just metaphysics.

The first two times were probably due to good luck.

However, although the shipment rate cannot be improved, the mood has indeed improved, so it is not useless.

Yu Cang sat on a chair, rubbing his chin. Behind him, Gu Jieshuang squatted in the corner, covering his face with his hands. His face was so red that it seemed to be steaming, and his eyes became drowsy.

Damn, hateful...

This time, the boss kissed me for a long time and hard... It must be revenge, it must be revenge, right?

He was just retaliating for his domineering behavior just now! mean! So stingy!

Wuwuwuwu... Sure enough, you shouldn't take chances after "bullying" your boss...

At this time.

——Buzzing.

Yu Cang's personal terminal suddenly rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It was the message from Old Man Ren, telling him to go to the office.

It seems that the set of soul cards is probably ready.

"Jie Shuang, the principal is looking for me. You take a rest first and I'll go out."

"Okay..." Gu Jieshuang had no energy left.

Yu Cang walked out, and Qi'er suddenly stuck out his little head.

She looked at Gu Jieshuang's appearance, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, he said loudly: "Sister! Are you going to have a baby?"

Bang!

Yu Cang stumbled and almost hit the door frame, killing himself in the line of duty.

"What did you say!" Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened, "Chess! Xingchen has obviously taught you this!"

The girl blinked her big eyes.

She had almost forgotten what she had been taught.

Just remember...there will be a baby!

Qi'er is going to be an aunt!

She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything sarcastic, Yu Cang had already pinched the back of her destiny's neck.

"It's a move!"

…

Principal's office

dong dong dong

Yu Cang knocked on the door.

"...Please come in."

A voice came from behind the door, but Yu Cang was stunned.

This voice...is that of Old Man Ren? Why do you sound so weak?

He pushed open the door and entered, but the scene behind the door made him take a breath of cold air.

"this……"

Scraped soul cards were scattered all over the floor, the trash can was filled with manuscript papers filled with text, and there were piles of cigarette butts on the table. Ren Zheng was sitting next to the window sill, rubbing his brows.

Compared with the last time I saw him, Ren Zheng's condition looked extremely different at this time. His face was unshaven, there were heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was messy. It looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time.

Yu Cang observed carefully for a long time before he was sure that this was Ren Zheng.

"Old man Ren?" Yu Cang had a strange expression, "What are you..."

"Ah... here you are." Ren Zheng finally saw who it was, "You have the nerve to ask me who gave me this problem, don't you know it yourself?... Sit down first. "

"Sit?" Yu Cang glanced in the direction of the sofa.

There are all kinds of scrapped soul cards on it. Some soul cards have most of the rhymes written on them, while some soul cards have only a few strokes written on them. But at this moment, they are all scrapped and have not been reused. possible.

Where can I sit?

Yu Cang sighed, closed the door, and carefully picked up the empty space on the floor and walked across it. He came to the sofa and simply made a place for people to sit.

Bang!

The crying girl controlled the little dolls to jump out of Qi'er's arms. A soul card opened in mid-air, and the five little dolls fell to the ground like dumplings.

"Master, let's clean it!" The weeping girl smoothed her non-existent sleeves and rushed towards the waste card pile with a group of chattering dolls.

Yu Cang nodded in affirmation, then picked up Qi'er and let her sit on his lap, while he looked at Ren Zheng.

"Old man Ren, you are really extravagant." Yu Cang said, "The materials for these blank soul cards are quite expensive... Hiss, this smell... Thunder Heart Stone powder? How much did you use... Damn, The useless cards in your house are equivalent to my annual expenses!"

"...I have channels, and they're not expensive."

"That's outrageous!" Yu Cang began to feel heartache for Ren Zheng.

To be honest, his Yingcao set has made him a lot of money now, and he can already say that he has no worries about food and drink, but the waste cards in this room are still beyond the limit of his cognition.

"It's okay, some materials can be recycled." Ren Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "I made these blank soul cards myself, I know them."

"Don't talk nonsense. With this level of scrapping, it's a good achievement to be able to recycle it..."

"Okay, these are all the materials I got myself. Why do you feel sorry for me?" Ren Zheng waved his hand, "Just watch, when your kid becomes a Zhenguo, you will definitely waste more materials than me."

"..."

"Besides, the reason why I used so many materials is not to complete the task that your boy assigned me." Ren Zheng knocked on the table, "It's a good thing for you. If you leave after saying that, it won't be hard to hurt my old man. "

Yu Cang opened his mouth: "Is it that difficult..."

"It's not that difficult? Try it yourself." Ren Zheng was almost annoyed, "You kid, let's go to Zhenguo first... But it's really not too difficult. The main reason is that the workload is heavy and I can't do it in the middle. The cost of making mistakes and trial and error is too high, so you can only try little by little.”

Ren Zheng coughed lightly, "By the way... I seem to have used up all the 'spirit'... The girl named Xingchen looked very angry, uh, is it okay?"

Yu Cang: "..."

Looking at Yu Cang who fell silent, Ren Zheng said quickly: "But it's okay. Thinking on the bright side, the abilities of the two soul cards this time are definitely worthy of the consumption!"

"……Let me consider."

"Here." Ren Zheng handed over two blue soul cards, "That link8 was created according to your idea. In fact, the main workload this time is on this, and the other link1 ...To be honest, I have to sigh once again, Xiao Cang, the upper limit of the connection summoning you discovered is really too high, and you can even do such a miraculous thing!"

Yu Cang took it and looked at it.

…

Soul Card Name: Scholar Me

Category: Summoning Card

Number of anchor points: 1

Quality: Connected

Properties: none

Race: Beast/Humanoid

ability:

Humanoid summoned beast*1

[General knowledge]: This soul card can only be activated when a rhythmic body that meets the conditions is summoned, and it must be connected to the soul energy well to exist.

…

Seeing this, Yu Cang showed a smile on his face.

Sure enough, it can be done.

As we all know, the principle of connection summoning is to transform the spatial properties of the present world, and then directly summon the rhythmic entities in the field of starry sky to the present world.

Then... the body of rhythm is naturally within the scope of this summons!

This "Scholar's Me" is a soul card specially used to summon the body of rhythm!

Yu Cang looked at Ren Zheng and saw him nodding: "I have already tried it. There is no danger in this summoning process. There are just some skills that need to be paid attention to, otherwise it may be a little painful when summoning yourself."

Speaking of this, Ren Zheng's mouth twitched, obviously with lingering fear.

"Say." Yu Cang looked like he was listening.

…

Shortly after.

"I use the Saint of Trap to set up a connection anchor point and summon - the scholar me!"

Yu Cang waved his hand, and the Holy Spirit at hand immediately turned into a torrent of information, expanding and collapsing in an instant. What emerged from the torrent again was a brand new figure.

This figure seems to be made of solidified light, but if you look closely, you will find that the skin texture on its body is condensed by fine and regular rhythms. These rhythms all exude a shimmering light. When they are put together, , which makes this figure look particularly unreal, like a projection.

Looking at the appearance of the figure, it is obviously Yu Cang himself!

The torrent of information condensed in one place and crashed into the anchor ring. This time, the anchor ring was suspended behind the head, spinning quietly.

"This is... me as a scholar?" Yu Cang looked at his rhythmic body, his eyes full of novelty.

This feeling of seeing oneself is indeed very strange.

With a slight thought in his mind, the scholar-self naturally made various movements, such as using arms and fingers, without any hindrance.

"It's amazing... As expected of you, Old Man Ren!"

"Haha, is this magical?" Ren Zheng smiled, "Let's stop doing this between us. Xiao Cang, you can do it yourself as a scholar. You kid... must be too troublesome, so just Package it with link8 and give it to me."

"What are you saying?" Yu Cang clicked his tongue, "It's just a pity that as a scholar, I don't seem to have any direct effect at the moment."

The scholar's self is equivalent to a clone. Because of the soul card, I am definitely stronger than myself in terms of physical strength, but other abilities...

As introduced on the card surface, this soul card only has one ability [general knowledge], which is still a restriction.

"You kid, you're not satisfied with such a powerful card?" Ren Zheng glared, "What else do you think he can do?"

Although this card simply summons his own rhythmic body, this is really awesome!

You know, it will be very dangerous for you to enter the field of starry sky and directly observe the surrounding environment.

But if you summon the scholar-me into the present world, you won’t have such worries!

This is equivalent to having a complete starry sky perspective directly in the real world. Isn’t this strong enough?

Of course, the range of sight of the scholar is only within the range of influence of the anchor ring - after all, only the rhythm within the anchor ring is activated and has some of the properties of starry sky sight.

But this is already strong enough... This means that Star Vision has finally found a nearly 100% safe practice method, and it officially has an opportunity for large-scale promotion!

"Haha... yes." Yu Cang said haha.

"Besides, Xiao Cang, you asked me to make this card, so you naturally know what this card really means."

Using the scholar's self to summon one's own rhythmic body is just one of the ways to use it.

Yu Cang's original intention in handing this project over to Ren Zheng was to summon the rhythmic body of others!

Combining the Path of Knowledge + Scholar's Self, you can directly summon a scholar to your side from any place on Blue Star!

what does that mean?

The most obvious point -

Those scholars who are powerless no longer have to go to dangerous places in person.

It goes without saying what this means.

People like Ren Zheng and Yu Cang, who practice card making and combat at the same time, are still a minority after all. Most people, after practicing soul cards, do not care about studying, and after learning card making, they are unfamiliar with fighting.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Human energy is limited. How can there be so many geniuses who can still spend so much time meditating every day while not falling behind in all their homework?

This is unrealistic.

Now, card making has developed for more than a thousand years since its birth. After so many years, the rhythms of those safe and dangerous places have basically been explored. If you want to make innovations, you must go to those inaccessible places. The missing link.

And this means danger.

Although the card maker will definitely hire various professional adventurers and explorers, after all, it is impossible to cover everything. Even the soul card maker himself dare not say that he will come back from all dangerous places 100%, let alone a card maker like What about the oil bottle?

There are so many card makers who die in dangerous situations every year that it’s hard to even keep statistics.

With the Scholar's Self, it's much simpler - just let the hired adventurer bring the anchor point and the Scholar's Self, randomly insert a qualified humanoid summoned beast into the deck, and enter the dangerous place. Just find the corresponding place and just pull the Rhythm Body over.

Although the body of rhythm's perception range is only a small area affected by the anchor ring, it can still survive anyway. Even if the scholar self is killed, it will only hurt for a while at most and will not cause any harm. What a big impact.

And those adventurer teams without the fuel bottle can increase their survival rate accordingly. This is a win-win situation.

There is no need to say more about what this means to Yan Guo in the long run.

And this is just the most basic function of this soul card.

If it is placed on the front line, if it is placed in the exploration of the wilderness and the boundary of the night nightmare...

And the link8 in Ren Zheng's hand.
