“So, I need to change my approach a little.”
Returning to his little shop from the university, Gu Xin changed his clothes and went straight into the laboratory.
He looked at the wall lined with various alchemy materials and steadied himself slightly.
“In that case, I’ll just choose all Light-attribute materials.
Good thing I stocked up on a lot of crystal cores back then.”
Gu Xin muttered to himself as he took down two materials.
“[Light Element] + [Dawn Butterfly], and…”
It was still a Tier 2 Light Element crystal core, plus a Tier 2 Dawn Butterfly corpse—both were Light-attribute.
Then, Gu Xin turned his gaze toward the [Sacred Griffin Feather].
According to Professor Luo Fei, a Tier 4 material like the [Sacred Griffin Feather] was too high-level for him right now.
But if he didn’t use the [Sacred Griffin Feather], the main materials would clearly be insufficient, and he didn’t have any Tier 3 Light-attribute materials here either.
“Maybe the integrity of a premium item is just too high?”
Gu Xin hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took down a Sacred Griffin feather.
Then, he reached out and plucked off a portion of the fuzz from the exquisite feather.
Almost instantly, the feather, which had been shimmering with a faint white fluorescence, dimmed significantly.
The originally ‘Premium’ grade Sacred Griffin feather had been reduced to ‘Rough’ grade.
It was safe to say that with this single pluck, the feather’s collection and alchemy values plummeted.
“This should do it.”
Gu Xin wasn’t actually confident, but right now, his inspiration was flowing like a fountain.
He wouldn’t be satisfied unless he gave it a try.
Looking at the three materials, Gu Xin pondered for a moment.
He felt like something was still missing.
His eyes continuously scanned the ‘shelves.’ After a long moment of thought, he took down another brocade box.
“I’ll add a portion of [Twilight Sand]!”
The four materials were tossed into the alchemy furnace, and Gu Xin nodded in satisfaction.
Furnace!
Start!
*Beep beep beep!*
Gu Xin continuously poured his mana into the alchemy furnace, conceptualizing the appearance of the card in his mind.
Time ticked by, second by second.
In the entire laboratory, only the faint white light flickering within the alchemy furnace illuminated the room.
About an hour and a half later.
From the card slot of the alchemy furnace, a card shimmering with a faint golden light slid out.
“Heheheh, mwahahahahaha!!”
Gu Xin wearily wiped the sweat from his brow.
Picking up the card and reading its effects clearly, he finally couldn’t hold back his inner ecstasy and burst into loud laughter.
It was a success!
[Pyramid of Light]
[Category: Magic Card・Field]
[Quality: Tier 3 Gold Card]
[Attribute: Light]
[Effect: Under the illumination of light, darkness has nowhere to hide.
The light will guide us forward, and we shall all achieve ‘immortality’!]
[(Note: On that day, we all turned into light!)]
*What the hell kind of messy effect description is this?*
Gu Xin was taken aback.
As the creator of the [Pyramid of Light], he could roughly guess the card’s effects.
But he had to admit, he was still startled by what it could do.
Once the [Pyramid of Light] was activated, any dark creatures within its range with average strength would be directly suppressed and obliterated by the intense light.
Even those with outstanding strength would be weakened.
It was clearly a Field Magic Card, yet it came with a large-scale AoE area damage effect—and a constant, unceasing one at that.
Furthermore, Light-attribute creatures inside the Pyramid of Light would receive an extremely exaggerated buff.
Just how exaggerated it was could be imagined simply by looking at the word ‘immortality’ in the effect description.
Although this card had a rather strict attribute restriction, as it was only effective for Light-attribute creatures, that didn’t hinder its sheer power.
Moreover, while it had attribute requirements, it could also be used in battles against dark creatures.
“Tsk, if a Gold Card is already this formidable, I can’t even imagine how powerful a higher-tier Mythic Card would be.”
Gu Xin put away the [Pyramid of Light].
This was great; he was heading into a Secret Realm with Wang Quan tomorrow anyway.
He still needed to be careful in a Secret Realm inhabited by demonic creatures.
This [Pyramid of Light] could serve perfectly as a trump card.
If even [Baron Nashor] proved useless, he would just slap this card down and shine them to death!
Even though it was only a Tier 2 Secret Realm, Gu Xin remained cautious.
“Now that the field is made, I’m just missing one more…”
Thinking of this, Gu Xin looked at his material shelves with a bit of difficulty.
In his mind, since he couldn’t craft the Giant of Light directly, he would take a slightly tricky technical approach.
He would use a ‘Sacrifice’ or ‘Advancement’ method to bring out the Giant of Light.
But the other card was different from the [Pyramid of Light].
That card was the real challenge.
“Theoretically speaking, it’s basically impossible to craft a humanoid card using magical beasts as materials.”
Gu Xin furrowed his brows, momentarily unsure of where to start.
He still had Light-attribute materials: four Sacred Griffin feathers and two Light-attribute crystal cores.
But he was truly lacking the other material.
No, rather, it was something Gu Xin had no way of obtaining.
That is, a ‘human’!
“I wonder if a demi-human would work?
But the demi-human races don’t seem to have any Light-attribute classes…
right?”
Gu Xin unconsciously twirled the card in his hand, his brain working in overdrive.
This feeling of clearly having an idea but being thwarted by reality made him involuntarily irritable.
“Demi-humans.
I definitely need to get some demi-humans for experiments.”
Gu Xin took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart.
His emotional management skills were excellent.
Using innocent humans to craft cards was a taboo, and Gu Xin didn’t want to become that kind of depraved scum.
Then the demi-humans would just have to suffer a bit.
He had to find a way to get some.
Changing his clothes, he walked out of the laboratory.
Originally, after finishing the [Pyramid of Light], he had planned to try crafting other cards.
After all, his luck seemed pretty good today, with the [Pyramid of Light] succeeding on the first try.
But right now, Gu Xin wasn’t in the mood.
“Hm?”
Entering the shop front, Gu Xin paused when he saw two girls sitting on the sofa.
“Boss!”
Seeing Gu Xin walk out, the two girls stood up and greeted him.
“Miss Yin, and this is…?”
Gu Xin immediately recognized them.
The one on the left was the little rich lady who had visited yesterday, Yin Xue.
As for the one on the right…
“Hehe~ Boss, do you remember me?
We met back then, you know.” Tang Yueyue smiled, brimming with energy.
She looked a bit familiar, but he couldn’t recall her name for a moment.
Feeling the girl’s expectant gaze, Gu Xin touched his nose, his eyes slowly trailing down from her delicate face.
The girl was wearing a form-fitting white camisole, her slender, soft, and fair waist dazzling to the eye.
On her lower half, she wore a pair of blue denim shorts.
*Damn, those legs.
So white, so shapely, and so long.*
*Wait.*
Gu Xin’s gaze locked onto the girl’s chest, staring at that pitiful curve.
“I remember now!
Miss Flat Chest who loves drinking cola!”
