Chapter 171: Trials and Sparring

Even in the "Unpopular Zero Ring Magic Illustrated", [Food Purification] is quite a bit of a chicken-bellied magic, and its standard model magic description reads like this:

Magical Effect: [Food Purification] removes minor toxins from some foods that have spoiled due to contamination or too long - so that you won't have a stomach strain after eating them.

Magic Level: Zero Ring Magic

Mana Consumption: The basic cost of activating magic is 7/10 of the Fal, which can purify about 100 grams of food, and each additional 10th of Fal of Mana can increase the amount of food purified by about 50 grams.

Casting Conditions: Sunlight (sunny day), 10 grams of clean water required.

Note: Please note!【Food Purification】 does not change the properties of the ingredients themselves, if you don't have a goblin stomach but want to eat camphor leaf silkworms or mire earthworms and don't want to have diarrhea, don't hope for the magic, Caila will still pull.

As the magic effect says, this magic only cleanses the food of minor toxins caused by contamination or spoilage, and it doesn't eliminate the stench, and almost no one will use this magic card on their adventures. On the one hand, it consumes a lot of mana, and you would rather use water and fire to purify contaminated food, and on the other hand, if you have to eat a piece of stinky bread during your adventure, it will be very demoralizing if you don't have diarrhea

In addition, the methods of processing food are now quite perfect, and if you don't think about the taste, you can buy cheap and durable rations everywhere, plus a well-made waterproof package that can be preserved for a long time even in the forest during the rainy season.

As a result, this magic card gradually became a chicken rib, and probably only a few mages who had a loose collection on hand would buy one and put it in their collection card box (such a magic card in the rune title page would slow down the filtering speed), and the collectible value of this low-level card was really limited.

Maureen even suspected that no one in the whole of Toddle had made these cards in a long time, and that the shop was just placing a purchase order to complete the assortment.

He reconfirmed the contents of the order, the purchase price was seventeen gold coins, the number of purchases was three hundred, and the period was six months.

For zero-tier magic cards with an average price in the single digits, the purchase price of seventeen gold coins is quite good, but the number of three hundred is too small, especially compared to the types of cards that are all written "unlimited" after the number of purchases, but for Merlin, this is a rare order.

The cost is less than two gold coins, and if you don't consider the success rate, you can earn fifteen gold coins for each card you make, and if you finish all three hundred cards, it will be more than four thousand net profits.

Not...... Five sheets a day can be completed in just two months...... Ten sheets a day can be completed in just one month......

The opportunity to save enough taxes is in front of him, and the young man who wants to get into the wrong thing immediately signed a contract with the boss who is missing a front tooth, and also paid a hundred gold coins as a deposit, Old Hanley was also taken aback when he saw that Mo Lin actually wanted to take this purchase order, but then he also smiled, and it is estimated that he can make a profit from this order as a middleman.

The rest of the gold coins were purchased from Old Hanli for a large box of gray-white magic crystal cards as materials, and Merlin spent all the remaining money on his body.

The money-making plan has also kicked off vigorously.

It's just that...... Why is it so hard?!

In the card-making classroom, Mo Lin sat alone in front of a melting table, looking at the carved crystal card in his hand, only feeling that his heart was dripping blood...... Seventeen gold coins grew wings and flew away.

There was a small glass of water on the melting table in front of the young man, and a thin beam of light shot out of a crystal ball through the transparent water cup and refracted into the center of the melting carving table - that is where the cards were placed, this crystal ball is an alchemy item that can collect sunlight, borrowed by the young man from the alchemy tower of the academy, because it is not a consumable thing, and there is no need to pay any rent.

When the magic model of [Food Purification] is carved, a subtle structure generated by mixing sunlight and water is required, and the magic analysis says that it is this subtle structure that plays a role in purification, and this structure is difficult to complete with a basic melting knife alone, this set of equipment is to project this structure into the crystal card, to help the boy to project and engrave when making cards.

All the materials and tools are quite complete, but there is still no legal system to make a complete card.

Merlin threw aside the cards in his hand, where it looked like there were more than a dozen discarded crystal cards.

Call...... He rubbed his cheek vigorously, trying to sober himself up.

Obviously I've practiced it.,Every spell structure and auxiliary part has been practiced on the waste card I don't know how many times.,Why can't it be completely carved.,It's like your own melting knife doesn't listen to the call.,Every time it's either something wrong here or there.。

What he is using now is a spiritual carving knife called [Arc Top Triangular Melting Knife], which was personally selected by Teacher Ed for him, this kind of melting carving knife is sharper and more solid, and the efficiency of melting and carving is much higher than that of [Arc Melting Knife], but it is also more difficult to control. Crafting a magical structure on a small crystal card is an extremely delicate task, and the slightest deviation can cause two structures that should not be connected to each other to be carved together.

If it's a large number of purification structures, it's fine, and erasing both structures will only make the card less effective, but if it's a single important structure and accidentally connected to something else, it will be scrapped.

After carefully recalling what had just gone wrong, and simulating the direction and force of the melting knife several times in his mind, Merlin pulled out a brand new gray-white crystal card from the card case and fixed it on the melting table. Adjusting the position of the light so that the thin light rubbed against the crystal card almost horizontally, he touched the crystal card with the tips of his index and middle fingers with his outstretched right hand, slowed down his breathing and began to melt again.

Mr. Ed also said that every time a card maker masters the method of making a magic card, it is based on countless attempts and countless scrap cards. In that case, try again if you fail once, and try again ten times if you fail ten.

In the empty card-making classroom, Morin was alone in front of a lighted melting table, engrossed in making cards, and until late at night, when he returned to his dorm room tiredly, Barron and Marcus were already asleep. Because of the mental power consumption, Merlin could no longer even use his special ability to memorize magic books, which would cause him to fall asleep for too long to wake up in time for the morning.

Confused, he circled in the cleaning enchantment, and then subconsciously let out Xiao Hei, who had been holding in the ring all day, and the young man who climbed into bed fell asleep as soon as his head approached the down pillow.

Day after day.

Every day after class at noon, he would be confused for a while, so that in the evenings he could practice in the card room until late at night, and on weekends he would be in the card room from morning to night, only occasionally going to the magic tower to ask Ed questions.

Gradually, the waste cards on the melting engraving table piled up more and more, the new cards in the crystal card box became fewer and fewer, and Mo Lin's eyes became brighter and brighter when he made the cards, and he had long forgotten the price of seventeen gold coins, the cost of two gold coins per crystal card, and the tax of three thousand four hundred and seventy.

The only thing a teenager can remember is the mistakes he makes every time.

Whether he opened or closed his eyes, there would always be some shiny and shiny fine pieces of light like fine dust in his field of vision, and only he could tell that those lights were the structures of the parts he made mistakes every time, because he had described these structures so many times in his mind, even in his sleep, he could see those flickering small pieces of light, and even in his sleep, there was a melting knife that was endlessly correcting the direction and force of these parts over and over again.

He also went from making mistakes less than one-fifth of each card to halfway through it, and now he can complete the first four-fifths of almost every card, with only a few fatal mistakes in the last part.

As it was now, Merlin's hand left the crystal card.

He closed his eyes and remembered what had just made him go wrong: it was three parallel magic passages, and he had made a rather sharp turn in the middle of the way, and he had just encountered some impurities in the crystal card at the bend when he was in the middle passage, causing the merge carving knife to fail to control the nick and intersect with the other channel, and the card was scrapped.

After thinking about the correct force control in his mind a few times, Merlin opened his eyes and prepared to take out a new crystal card.

Huh...... he was stunned for a moment.

I saw that only the last thin gray-white crystal card was left in the empty card box, and there was nothing else.

It's the last one...... The young man was a little emotional, he bought a full hundred and fifty gray crystal cards from Old Hanley at one time, and thought that he could make fifty cards to earn hundreds of gold coins, but he didn't expect that until this last one, he had not succeeded in making even a complete card.

When I think about it now, I was so blindly optimistic...... The greatest card maker or something, sure enough, I still can't trust the unreliable teacher Ed, but ......

Merlin looked at the last gray-white crystal card in his hand...... Will this be my lucky card......?

Without thinking about it, he fixed the gray crystal card on the melting table, adjusted the thin light, calmed down, and touched his finger to the edge of the crystal card.

The [Arc Top Three-Edged Melting Knife] once again skillfully condensed out, and the blade touched the gray-white crystal card, and began to quickly leave invisible nicks.

Mana Import & Averaging Module...... Magic Spatial Positioning and Feedback Module...... Magic Transient & Buffer Module...... Strength Control Section...... Spell Model and Excite Section...... Purification structure rubbing and repeating from light...... Overall Coordination & Stability Module...... Wrapping Section...... Resonance structure.

Well...... Resonance structure?

Merlin withdrew his fingertips a little confused, is that ...... done?

He loosened the clasp that held the card on the engraving table, took the gray-white magic card in his hand, and under the light of the illuminating crystal, a faint magical image appeared on the front of the card—the sun shone on a piece of hard bread with mold, and the mold gradually disappeared.

Regardless of whether it can be used or not, regardless of whether the mana conversion rate is up to the standard or not, the magic image that appears on the front at least shows that there is no fatal error in the structure of this card, so ...... It's done...... Lucky Cards.

He placed the card on the melting table again, picked out the hardest melting knife and condensed it, and engraved the card's name above the magic image on the front of the card, [Food Purification: Zero Ring].

Knowing that he had practiced his own handwriting more before, Morin couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at the small line of crooked handwriting he had carved, but then he picked up the melting knife and carved another small line of handwriting in the lower right corner with his crooked handwriting.

[——Produced by the future card-making master Maureen Calland, on the evening of October 9, the year of the stars, at the No. 3 engraving table in the card-making classroom of Iluvita Academy]

Maureen smirked.

What if the font isn't beautiful...... What about secretly writing "future card makers...... Anyway, I have to keep this card for myself, so I won't sell it and give it to others to laugh at......

Well, don't give it to anyone else in this life.

……

After Morin successfully completed his first magic card, it was like stepping onto a new level and stepping into a new world, and his success rate was so high that even he was surprised, and he actually managed to complete thirty-five magic cards in the second batch of fifty crystal cards that he borrowed some gold from Eminor, and he felt that his proficiency was still increasing rapidly.

Originally, I wanted to experiment with the effect of my first card - for this reason, the boy had already prepared a piece of barley bread that smelled of smell and alcohol, and asked Marcus to cast a [Food Purification] on it with the card, if the magic was successful, eating this "bread" would definitely not cause diarrhea.

However, the moment he opened the box and smelled the smell, Morin decisively abandoned the idea.

What a foolish attempt, the boy clutched his nose, but the smell of "a big green-headed fly that had eaten bread drowning in sour barley wine and soaking in mold" was a good fit for mixing in with the stink bombs that were about to be dropped on Brand's office.

Despite the high taxes, he still has to make cards like crazy every day, but after successfully completing his debut, these tiredness can't disturb the boy's good mood at all, especially when he takes the cards to Mr. Ed to check, he sees the surprise on Ed's face - for the efficiency of the teenager, Mr. Ed gives an unprecedented evaluation that is slightly better than "so-so": "barely strong".

After the detection of the magic machine, most of the cards in the second batch of cards made by Merlin reached the standard line of 180%, which means that he can finally deliver this batch of cards to Old Hanley in exchange for the gold coins of the order, and it also means that he can finally earn gold coins through his own efforts after becoming a professional.

This good mood lasted until Brand's card use class, and the teenager, who was ready to be beaten and suffered, walked up to the simulation arena, and suddenly found that on the other side of the simulation arena stood a sparring classmate who he least wanted to see.
