Chapter 175: Contagious Hobby

Except for the debut work engraved with a crooked font that the boy treasured in the title page of his rune, there were three hundred zero-level [Food Purification] magic cards, one was not much, and one was not less.

Looking at the neatly arranged gray-white cards in the huge card box, Mo Lin also felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

For two and a half months, he spent two and a half months in front of the melting carving table day and night, from the beginning of contact with card making to the completion of the first order of three hundred cards of unpopular zero-level magic, from the initial ignorance of card making to the success rate of making [Food Purification] is now close to ninety percent, Mo Lin spent a full two and a half months.

"Two and a half months!" Ed commented, "If I had worked as hard as you had in the first place......, it wouldn't have taken me a month and a half to get three hundred!

"I've picked a card made of magic that I'm completely unfamiliar with. Morin said unconvinced.

"If you say that you are barely strong, you will be reluctant!" Ed was furious: "I still chose the most complicated illusion in the first place! It is ten thousand times more useful than any food purification that you can't find in this spell book, is it good! And I didn't show it off everywhere when it was made! I didn't know how to keep a low profile at all, and I really messed with Pike for so many years!"

"If you want to show off, you have to think about whether you can stand the beating of the seniors. Merlin muttered to himself.

“…… Huh?" Ed squinted at the boy with an unkind face, "Are you thinking if I can resist the beating?"

It's really amazing, Morin was shocked, and his face trembled without being tight.

Oops, this is really exposed!The boy screamed, his hands subconsciously blocking his ass, but before the defense troops could be deployed, the others had already flown from Ed's card room to Anna Goo's office and out of the magic tower through the office window, and finally fell along a rather beautiful parabola into the glide passage outside the cliff.

It wasn't until he landed in an extremely indecent position to the dormitory castle that Merlin finally regained control of his body.

He expertly patted the dust off his body, felt the surprised gaze of several first-year freshmen on the side, and couldn't help but glare at them fiercely. Haven't you ever seen a goose with your ass facing backwards! I think I slept in Anna Goo's magical history when I was your age! What about you?!

Worried for the future of the Troublemaker Alliance for a second, Merlin turned around and grimaced in the direction of the magic tower on the snow peak, glared at the first-year freshmen fiercely, and then swaggered into the dormitory castle.

A whisper sounded from behind him: "Wow, just now that is the famous second-year senior 'Sleeper' Morin, it's really powerful, and the posture of sitting in the air passage is different......"

"It's just different from you...... If you don't accept it, let's compare who can do it faster, hum!" Merlin thought 'viciously'.

No matter what Mr. Ed said, the boy was quite satisfied with his first achievement in card making.

If Mr. Ed, who is just getting started, can complete this order faster, Mo Lin doesn't know, but he can say it without shame: if it were any other student in the card-making class to make these cards from the beginning, even the senior wouldn't have spent less time than him.

The boy was convinced of this.

On the one hand, his special memory ability can directly memorize the complete spell model, which at least leaves him with half a month to get familiar with magic, and on the other hand, and more importantly, he will not have backsurge damage when making cards.

Normally, backsurge damage reduces the card's mana conversion efficiency by about 10%, and standard zero-tier cards require a conversion efficiency of 80. In other words, aside from the final resonance structure, Morin only needs to achieve an overall efficiency of 80 in the process of melting engraving, but others need to reach 90 to reach the standard after backsurge damage, and it takes more than a day and a half to increase the efficiency of 10% in the card making process.

To put it simply, if Merlin also suffers backsurge damage when crafting cards, 90% of the 300 magic cards he has completed will not be up to par, which means that his success rate will be reduced to less than 10%.

You can imagine how much time it saved him.

"But this can't be regarded as the credit of the small puddle of magic, it can only be regarded as a blessing in disguise!" Morin thought very stingily: "It doesn't count the card making aspect! the small puddle will have to spit it out for me one day......"

Back in the dormitory, with a heavy card box full of [Food Purification], Merlin walked towards the shopping street.

In addition to the debut work preserved in the title page of his rune as a souvenir, Morin didn't even make an extra [Food Purification], and it is not for nothing that unpopular cards are not cared for, and this kind of thing should not be given to a teenager for nothing, let alone as a gift to his partner.

Of course, if it can be sold for money, that's another story.

The young man couldn't help but smile misty as he thought about it, and if he could realize it, he would find that from a certain angle, it looked like Emino when he counted the money. I don't know what kind of stupid collector with a lot of money would buy such magic cards, and when I have more money, I won't spend it on this kind of thing, so I have to take it as a warning......

Well, be sure to take this as a warning.

While smirking as he came to Old Hanley's shop, Old Hanley, who was missing a front tooth, was happy when he saw Morin.

Another student practicing card making and practicing silly, old Hanley thought.

This kind of giggle old Hanley can see a lot every year, generally just novices sign a card production order after the first will only buy a magic crystal card with the same amount of order as the basic material, self-credit these crystal cards can complete the order, but soon after the pale face came back to buy a large sum, and then buy a larger one, almost when the novice came to buy the magic crystal card for the third time, the face was basically this psychedelic smirk.

Old Hanley took out a large box of blank magic crystal cards from the cabinet, and said with a leaky smile: "Heh, how much do you buy this time?" Little brother, don't be too hit, as the old saying goes, there is no horn tip in the world that can't be drilled, let's buy more this time and go back to practice I believe that we will be able to increase the success rate." ”

"Of course, if you haven't been able to make a card that meets the requirements by now, listen to my old Hanley's words, we don't do this material, the order deposit of one hundred gold coins and the previous materials will be lost, and it is not worth spending time in it. He also persuaded very kindly.

"Huh?" Merlin came back to his senses, "Oh, I'm here to settle the bill." ”

As he spoke, the boy put the card box heavily on the counter, and opened the lid with a click, and a thick stack of gray-white magic cards sparkled in the sunlight, and the lower right corner of each magic card was signed with the boy's name in crooked font - Maureen Callander.

"It's ...... What?" Old Hanley was stunned, and the large box of blank crystal cards that he was about to hand to Merlin stopped in the air.

"Three hundred zero-rank magic cards [Food Purification], including the deposit, should pay me a total of five thousand two hundred gold!" Mo Lin blinked his blue eyes, grinned, and added after a moment: "By the way, the five thousand gold coins are still bothering you not to settle with crystal cards, I want gold coins." ”

"All in gold! All in gold!"

……

After Old Hanley looked at the boy with extreme distrust and drew thirty magic cards from the card box to test them one by one, his expression gradually changed from doubt to shock and finally to surprise, and after a while, he pulled a long list of orders from nowhere, and smiled very sensibly to Merlin and prominently circled those unpopular magic card orders, and swore that from now on, the boy did not need to pay any deposit when signing the supply order for zero-level magic cards in his shop.

Morin didn't say anything about this for the time being, his eyes were already locked on the box of shiny gold Gessock coins.

Wow...... Not to mention, the gold coins are indeed much more textured than the magic crystal cards, at this moment the boy suddenly felt that he understood the feelings of the little vampire very much, if five light green magic crystal cards and a whole box of shiny gold coins were placed in front of him at the same time, how could anyone not choose the latter......

Only Xiao Hei is very dissatisfied with this, there is no magic in these shiny metals, and he doesn't know what he can do with them, how can the boy learn from that stingy girl......

Walking on the commercial street, Mo Lin held the heavy box and thought, from now on, it is not only impossible to get out, but to earn the first gold in his life, will he be far from making a fortune?

At this moment, even the small puddle of magic power was not so eye-catching, he casually swiped some gold coins and exchanged for some crystal cards full of magic power, ready to go back and fill the small puddle, after all, it only has the effect of holding such a little magic power, and it cannot be easily let go. Then he generously gave Xiao Hei a second-order crystal card full of magic, and spent a lot of gold coins to buy two valuable gifts for Daddy Pike and Mrs. Callander to be transported back by the gargoyle.

It's no wonder that Papa Parker used to say that he didn't panic when he had money in his hands, which made so much sense.

The boy's face was full of smiles, "I finally made money today."

Isn't it an occupational tax, Mo Lin patted the box in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound of gold coins, even if he had just bought a lot of things, there were at least four thousand five hundred gold coins in the box, which was enough for anything.

Even the sight of Blood-Eyed Brand could not disturb the good mood of the young man, the professor seemed to be purchasing some alchemy materials in the shopping street, and his blood-colored gaze swept over the students there as if they were scattered, and the figure in the black robe walked towards which shop and which store the students rushed out.

Seeing such an unwelcome teenager as Professor Brand relieved, he greeted him from afar.

Not...... I don't know if Professor Brand saw it, but for the sake of Professor Professor, your hair is not very greasy today, I will scratch out two smells from the stink bomb prepared for you...... He thought happily.

However, when he returned to the dormitory and saw the faces of his friends, the young man suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

How do you feel a faint murderous aura...... Have you forgotten something......

Sure enough, when Aeno saw a large box of gold coins, he immediately screamed excitedly, and then loudly commended the young man for asking for gold coins instead of crystal cards, and then silently crossed the account with the gold coins borrowed by the five hundred young men before. Then Tilna counted out five hundred gold coins and took them out, saying that they had lent them to the boy before, and then Marcas, who also took five hundred gold coins.

Eh, I said, you leave me some...... Seeing that his fortune had rapidly shrunk to 3,000 gold coins, the young man cried out frantically: Did I use so many gold coins to practice card making before......?

When he saw Barron appear in front of them with his money bag, Merlin finally shouted in a panic, "Barron don't move! I remember very well, I never borrowed gold from you!"

"You haven't borrowed gold coins from me......" Barron scratched his shiny head a little confused: "But didn't we discuss before that we would go to pay the professional tax together after you delivered the order and got the gold coins back, but even the afternoon training was postponed, when will we leave?"

For a moment, Morin felt as if he had been hit by a cryomy, and then he was knocked into a slag of ice by the clatter of the hammer.

So...... The first pot of gold earned in his life is about to leave him before he is hot in his arms...... That's not right...... Obviously, there are still 5,200 gold coins in assets just now, why does it seem that he is about to become a poor egg again......

"Ahem," Aminor coughed softly at the sight of Merlin's dazed appearance, she was too familiar with this state, and had already discussed countermeasures with the others.

Barron took a step forward and held his stout body in front of Merlin, while Marcas and Tierna picked up the boy's gold coin box and walked out without a trace, while Aeno gestured for them to hurry up.

"You ...... What are you going to do?!" Merlin was still stunned and didn't come back to his senses.

Marcus and Tilna took the opportunity to quicken their pace, while Barron shifted his body to block the boy's view.

"Isn't that my gold coin box...... Where are you going to carry it?" the young man's gaze followed the neck of the gold coin box as it stretched longer and longer, and finally reacted, and screamed:

"Come back!That's my gold coin box!Let me hold it a little longer!!"

"Barron, what are you doing?!Let go of me!!I don't want to pay taxes!Wow!!"

"Marcas, slow down, let me take a look at my coins, let's go back next week......"
