The first card has a dark tone. It depicts a monster standing on the top of a mountain. It has huge ferocious flesh wings, curved horns on the top of its head, and its skin is dark. Where the eyes should be, there is a spiked one. A black hole replaced it, with six arms twisting in different directions, looking like they were roaring.
Ge Yanyu stared at it for a few seconds, feeling vaguely sick.
She looked away and looked at the second picture.
Two snakes, one black and one white, are wrapped around a gorgeous golden sword, and their cold eyes look out through the card.
The third card is upside down. The eight swords are in a ring shape, with the sword tips facing the center. There is a desperate figure shrouded in black mist, with a pair of bleeding eyes exposed outside the black mist. It is a black and white world. The only color.
"What, what does this mean?" Ge Yanyu swallowed, feeling that the card design was very ominous.
"Devil, Justice, and the Eight of Swords reversed."
"It just looks bad."
"It's a little bad, but not that bad."
Ling Xiao tapped the [Justice] card with his fingers, "[Justice] usually represents judgment, and appearing together with the [Devil] card means correcting mistakes. What I don't understand is how this has anything to do with your sister going to drive away the beast tide. ?The sword may bring pain or break the deadlock. [The Eight of Swords] reversed indicates that danger will be encountered, but your sister can handle it.”
Ge Yanyu's eyes widened.
How could she decipher so much information from three messy cards?
What is the principle?
I didn’t see any special power appearing.
Ling Xiao murmured to himself: "Is it possible that there is some secret behind this beast attack on the city?"
"I don't know if there is a hidden secret, but there have been incidents in the past where beasts composed of extraordinary creatures attacked cities in various countries. In the past six hundred years, it has happened seventeen times, and even destroyed two human cities. Even our capital city of Alton There were also attacks by small beasts, but there were many strong ones and they were repelled. The official report was that powerful supernatural creatures were expanding their territory, but there are also different opinions among the people. Well... they said it was divine punishment, which should be nonsense to attract attention. Let’s talk.” Ge Yanyu whispered.
"Maybe it's true, who knows. Even if it's divine punishment, it's impossible for the officials to tell us. They still have to maintain social order and avoid causing panic among the people." Ling Xiao sorted out the tarot cards and took back the leather bag.
Ge Yanyu nodded in agreement.
Ling Xiao glanced at Zhinao, "It's getting late, I'm going back first, so I won't disturb you and your sister's exchange of feelings. By the way, remember to remind her to pay attention to safety, and retreat immediately if the situation is different."
…
If you want to improve your physical strength, it is impossible to rely on exercise in a short period of time.
After returning to the dormitory from Ge's house, Ling Xiao checked the prices of the body-building liquid and the flesh and blood of F-class extraordinary creatures.
The primary forging with the lowest energy costs 5,000 cards per barrel. A luxury brew like Ge Yanyu's would cost 20,000 at a time.
The flesh and blood of F-class extraordinary creatures are sold by the pound, ranging from hundreds to thousands of card coins per pound.
These are prices that Ling Xiao cannot afford at present.
Money, money, money, in the final analysis, there is still not enough money.
After a busy summer vacation, he saved more than 280,000 yuan. After paying 200,000 yuan in tuition, Ling Xiao had less than 100,000 yuan left.
She has classes in the morning, goes to Card Xiu Academy on Monday afternoon, and goes to Ge Yanyu's house for a bath on Tuesday afternoon. Only in the evening can she find time to make cards, which is far less than the ten or so hours spent in the quiet room during the summer vacation. She also has to go back to the dormitory. When practicing combat skills, it's often after two o'clock when it's time to go to bed.
Fortunately, nourished by the flesh, blood and body-building liquid of extraordinary creatures, Lingxiao not only did not feel tired when she got up the next day, but was full of energy, her body was not as heavy as before, and even her steps were much brisker.
The required course on Wednesday morning is "Basic Materials and Practice". The name sounds lofty, but it is actually about the identification of jamming materials and the production of jamming.
The students walked into the experimental classroom and found that there was a small shelf on every table, and there were all kinds of low-level materials in bottles and jars. The teacher on the podium was no longer a woman, but a teacher named Adam's handsome blond guy.
His class style was completely different from Wu Xueyi's. He introduced himself first, and then got to know the students one by one. It took more than half an hour. Then he raised a small glass bottle filled with pink liquid and shook it. "Does anyone know what's in the bottle?" What are you pretending to be?”
The long bottle containing pink liquid was placed alone on the table. Ling Xiao felt that it looked familiar, so he pulled out the stopper and smelled it.
A quiet floral fragrance came to my nose.
It was the moonflower juice I drank at Ge Yanyu's house yesterday.
She licked her lips, greedy.
Moon primrose juice is sweet and sour, a bit like the fruit tea I drank in my previous life. A cup of it can also relieve heat.
There are no milk tea shops popping up everywhere on Kalan Planet. Since arriving here, Ling Xiao has not drunk milk tea fruit drinks. There is a substitute with a similar taste in front of her. She stares at the moonflower juice, as if it is stained with Glue, can't be removed.
The students in the class are either rich or noble. Except for a few students from ordinary families, they are all familiar with moonflower juice. Many people are eager to answer, but Wu Xueyi gave her a blow in the first class, so that the students did not dare to do it. The first graders were so impudent, but they didn't dare to speak. They could only keep signaling to Adam with their eyes that they wanted to answer questions.
Students like Ling Xiao who lowered their heads and stared at the materials without looking at the teacher were particularly prominent at this moment.
So Adam pointed far away and called Ling Xiao's name.
"My classmates are so engrossed in watching this. Do you know what it is?"
Ling laughed, wondering why the new teacher noticed her distraction when she was sitting in such a remote corner. Do all the teachers have sharp eyes?
Ling Xiao stood up a little depressed.
Xiao Yunlin whispered in his companion's ear, "We've got a good show to watch."
Wang Bo, the boy who was punched by Luan Zhan in the cafeteria, chuckled and said, "She is a poor girl. I'm afraid this is the first time I've even seen Moonflower Juice."
Evening primrose will be introduced in textbooks, but if you have never seen the real thing, it will be difficult to recognize the evening primrose juice refined into a solution.
After eating it once, Ling Xiao confidently replied: "Moonflower juice."
"That's right, can you introduce Moonflower to everyone?" Adam said with a smile.
"Moon primrose is a flower that only blooms when it sees the moonlight. It is non-toxic, has a mild taste, and is edible. Because of its mild properties, it is often used as a primary ink neutralizer after being refined into a solution. It is widely used in E, Among the F-class extraordinary biological materials.”
Adam, whose teaching style is quite exaggerated, did not hesitate to praise Ling Xiao. Xiao Yunlin and Wang Bo, who were waiting to see Ling Xiao's embarrassment, looked at each other and thought unhappily: If I had known better, I would have answered the question in vain, and I would have given her the opportunity in vain. Show off.
Adam introduced the common materials on the shelf one by one. They were all grade F with single properties and were provided to students free of charge by the school. Then he showed four common inks using moon primrose juice as a neutralizing agent on the virtual screen. The formula is emphasized again: "The various attributes of the card ink must be balanced, otherwise it will destroy the smoothness of the card production and cause carrier consumption. The evening primrose juice on your table is extracted from the evening primrose of ten years. Concentrated flower juice has outstanding effects, and each tube costs close to 500 card coins. In the remaining hour, you will use the materials provided by the school to make an F-grade card ink with balanced properties. You can take it away after the production is successful. I The assessment of the course is composed of 70% of daily performance and 30% of final grade. Students should be serious~"
After saying that, he gave everyone a heart sign.
All the students present involuntarily came up with a thought——
What a devil's whisper.
Ling Xiao majored in painting in his previous life, and his usual homework accounted for a lot of weight, so he had long been accustomed to this.
Taking a deep breath, I decided not to follow the existing recipe and try to prepare the card ink myself.
If she can succeed, it means that she has integrated the knowledge she has learned and is not just following the script.
She put the fire spider saliva, No. 5 ratio solution (no properties, only for powder materials), the powder made from the rhinoceros horns and the juice of the evening primrose flower on the table. She went through the process in her mind and put the rhinoceros horns into the table. Pour the powder into base No. 5 and stir evenly.
——The characteristics of the No. 5 base solution allow the powder to be evenly dissolved in the liquid, ensuring that the stuck ink will not precipitate.
Then light the crucible rack and pour the mixed solution and fire spider saliva into the crucible in sequence.
With a sizzling sound, the originally calm solution suddenly boiled, with small bubbles popping up constantly. The area where the crucible wall was in contact with the solution sizzled. After cooking for a few minutes, the solution turned from light red to brick red, and the heat increased. Several times higher, Ling Xiao slowly added the evening primrose juice until the sizzling sound disappeared, then put the evening primrose juice aside and kept stirring the solution.
The viscous liquid in the crucible gradually calmed down and its color turned orange-red.
When the temperature drops to normal temperature and the color has not changed, it is considered a success.
Ling Xiao held the textbook and kept fanning the air, hoping to cool down Kamo quickly.
"Yang is first again!"
"He is so fast. He is the fastest to finish every time."
"As expected of the Camble family."
"I heard from the teacher that he can already make F-level cards."
"Wow, one foot has stepped into the threshold of the card master."
"Don't be jealous, everything in your pot is almost burnt."
"Ah! My Camo——"
In the three days of class, Ling Xiao had never taken a closer look at the class's favorite, Jan Kamble.
After just one look, she came to a conclusion.
This guy's family must be rich.
Wearing a loose white shirt with a waistband, a mid-length black jacket embroidered with gold thread, polished pointed leather shoes, short brown hair with hair oil and neatly combed.
His facial features are pretty handsome, but his face looks like that of a little old man, which is boring.
Ling Xiao clicked his tongue, looking like a noble young master.
Sure enough, reincarnation is a good thing, and you can reach the end in one step.
Adam looked at the color, smelled the smell, and finally shook the bottle to check the viscosity, and wrote "Excellent" on the evaluation form with satisfaction, "I specially put the materials that can make two standard formulas. You didn't choose those, and I used fire spider and iron horn rhinoceros horn powder. What’s rare is that the weight of each material is just right, without any loss. You did a good job."
Adam's words floated into his ears, and Ling Xiao felt depressed.
What they are most afraid of as designers is a creative crash.
It doesn't matter if you do it perfectly, but it would be an embarrassment if you are not as good as others.
Not to mention she's a step slower than Jan Kamble.
Forget it, she'll be the last one to go up.
Anyway, there’s still half an hour left, so I’ll make a few more and take them back. In case the card production fails, at least there is a backup material.
