9 Chapter 9
The first card is dimly colored, with a monster standing on top of a mountain, with huge fleshy wings, two curved horns on the top of its head, dark skin, and a black hole full of spikes that should have been the eyes, and six arms twisted in different directions, looking like they were roaring.
Ge Yanyu stared at it for a few seconds, faintly feeling disgusted.
She looked away and looked at the second one.
Two snakes, one black and one white, were wrapped around a gorgeous golden sword, and their cold eyes looked out through the cards.
The third card is reversed, with eight swords in a ring, with the tip facing the center, where a desperate figure is trapped in a black fog, and a pair of bloody eyes are exposed outside the black fog, the only color in the black and white world.
"What does this mean?" Ge Yanyu swallowed his saliva, always feeling that the card pattern was very ominous.
"The Devil, Justice, and the Eight Reverses of the Sword."
"It just looks bad."
"It's a little bad, but it's not that bad."
Ling Xiao's fingers tapped on the [Justice] card, "[Justice] usually represents judgment, and appearing at the same time as the [Devil] card means correcting mistakes. What I don't understand is, what does this have to do with your sister going to drive away the beast tide? The sword can bring pain or break the deadlock, and the reversal of [Sword Eight] indicates that danger will be encountered, but your sister can handle it. β
Ge Yanyu's eyes widened.
How could she decipher so much information from three jumbled cards?
What is the principle?
I haven't seen any special powers.
Ling Xiao muttered to herself, "Could it be that there is something hidden in the beast tide attacking the city this time?" β
"I don't know if there is a hidden secret, but there have been cases of beast tides composed of extraordinary beings attacking cities in various countries before, and in the past six hundred years, it has happened seventeen times, and even destroyed two human cities. Even our capital of Orton has had a small beast tide attack, but there are many strong ones, and they have been repulsed. The official report is that powerful transcendent beings have expanded their territory, but there are also different versions among the people, eh...... They say it's divine punishment, which should be nonsense that Bo is concerned about. Ge Yanyu muttered quietly.
"Maybe it's true, who knows. Even if it is a divine punishment, it is impossible for the officials to tell us that 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 Zhi Brain, "It's not too early, I'll go back first, and I won't disturb you to communicate with your sister." By the way, you remember to remind her to stay safe and retreat immediately in case the situation is different. β
β¦β¦
If you want to improve your physical strength, it is impossible to rely on exercise in a short period of time.
Returning to the dormitory from the Ge family, Ling Xiao checked the price of the forging body// liquid and the flesh and blood of F-class transcendent creatures.
The primary forging β‘β‘ with the lowest energy, a bucket of 5,000 carats, like Ge Yanyu's extravagant bubble method, is 20,000 less at a time.
The flesh and blood of F-class transcendent creatures are sold by the pound, ranging from hundreds to thousands of card coins per catty.
are all prices that Ling Xiao can hardly afford at present.
Money is money, money is still not enough.
After a busy summer vacation, saving more than 280,000 yuan, and paying 200,000 yuan in tuition, Ling Xiao had less than 100,000 yuan left in his hand.
She has to go to class in the morning, go to Cashew Academy on Monday afternoon, go to Ge Yanyu's house to take a bath on Tuesday afternoon, and only find time to make cards at night, which is far less than soaking in the quiet room for more than ten hours during the summer vacation, and when she returns to the dormitory, she has to practice her combat skills, and when she goes to bed, it is often after two o'clock.
Fortunately, with the nourishment of the flesh and blood of extraordinary creatures and the forging body// liquid, Ling Xiao not only did not feel tired when he got up the next day, but was full of energy, and his body was not as heavy as before, and even his steps were much brisker.
The compulsory course on Wednesday morning is "Basic Materials and Practice", and the name sounds lofty, but it is actually the identification of card ink materials and the production of card ink.
When the students walked into the lab room, they found a small shelf on each table, bottles and jars filled with all kinds of low-grade materials, and the teacher on the podium was no longer a woman, but a handsome blonde man named Adam.
He had a completely different style of teaching from Wu Xueyi, first introducing himself, and then getting to know the whole class one by one, which took more than half an hour, and then he held up a glass vial with a pink liquid and shook it, "Does anyone know what's in the bottle?" β
The long tube bottle containing the pink liquid was placed on the table alone, Ling Xiao felt a little familiar, and pulled the stopper to smell it.
A faint floral fragrance came to my nose.
It was the moon flower juice that I drank at Ge Yanyu's house yesterday.
She licked. Lick your lips, you can't be greedy.
The juice of the moon flower is sweet and sour, a bit like the fruit tea drunk in the previous life, a cup of belly, can also remove heat.
There are no bubble tea shops blooming everywhere on the planet, since she came here, Ling Xiao has never drunk milk tea fruit drink, there is a substitute with a similar taste in front of her, she stares directly at the moon tea juice, as if it is stained with glue, and she can't remove it.
The students in the class are either rich or expensive, except for a few students from ordinary families, they are no strangers to the moonlight flower juice, and many people are eager to answer, but Wu Xueyi gave Ma Wei in the first class, so that the students did not dare to be as presumptuous as the first grade, but they did not dare to speak, they could only keep signaling to Adam with their eyes, they wanted to answer the question.
And a student like Ling Xiao, who lowered his head, stared at the material, and didn't look at the teacher, was particularly prominent at this moment.
So Adam pointed at Ling Xiao and called Ling Xiao's name.
"The classmates are so devoted, do you know what it is?"
Ling laughed, she didn't understand that she was sitting in such a remote corner, how could the new teacher notice her wandering again, did the teachers have sharp eyes?
Ling Xiao stood up a little depressed.
Xiao Yunlin attached to his companion's ear, "There is a good show to watch." β
Wang Bo, the boy who was punched by Luan Zhan in the cafeteria, smiled, "She is a poor person, I'm afraid it's the first time I've even seen the moon flower juice." β
Textbooks will introduce evening primroses, but if you have never seen the real thing, it is difficult to recognize the evening primrose juice that has been refined into a solution.
After eating it once, Ling Xiao replied confidently: "Moonlight flower juice." β
"Yes, can you tell us about the evening primrose?" Adam said with a smile.
"Evening primrose is a kind of flower that will only open when it sees moonlight, non-toxic, quiet taste, edible, because of its mild properties, it is often used as a primary card ink neutralizer after refining into a solution, and is widely used in E and F class extraordinary biological materials."
Adam, whose teaching style is quite exaggerated, did not hesitate to praise Ling Xiao, and praised Ling Xiao, who was waiting to see Ling laughing, Xiao Yunlin and Wang Bo glanced at each other, and thought very unhappily: I would have answered if I knew it earlier, and Bai gave her a chance to show her head.
Adam introduced the common materials on the shelves one by one, all of which are F-grades with single attributes, which are provided to students by the school for free, and then he showed four common card ink formulas with evening primrose juice as a neutralizer on the virtual screen, emphasizing again: "The various attributes of card ink must be balanced, otherwise it will destroy the smoothness of card making and cause wear and tear of the carrier." The moonflower juice on your table is a concentrated flower juice extracted from ten years of evening flowers, and the effect is outstanding, and each tube is close to 500 calories. For the remaining hour, you will use the materials provided by the school to make an F-grade card ink with balanced attributes, which you can take away after you have successfully made it. The assessment of my course is composed of 70% of the usual performance and 30% of the final grades, students should be serious~"
After speaking, he also gave everyone a love match.
All the students present involuntarily had a thought-
What a demonic whisper.
Ling Xiao studied painting in her previous life, and her usual homework accounted for a heavy proportion, so she had long been accustomed to it.
Taking a deep breath, I decided not to follow the existing recipe and try to mix the ink myself.
If she succeeds, it means that she has integrated what she has learned, rather than just reading from a script.
She put the fire spider saliva liquid, No. 5 bili solution (no attributes, special for powder materials), the powder made from iron horn rhino horn and the moon flower juice on the table, and went through the process in her mind, poured the iron horn rhino horn powder into the No. 5 base and stirred well.
ββThe characteristics of No. 5 substrate solution can make the powder evenly dissolve in the liquid, ensuring that the ink will not precipitate.
Then light the crucible rack and pour the mixed solution and fire spider saliva liquid into the crucible in turn.
With a snort, the solution that was originally quite calm boiled all of a sudden, small bubbles kept popping up, the place where the crucible wall came into contact with the solution sizzled, and after boiling for a few minutes, the solution turned from light red to brick red, and the heat increased several times, Ling Xiao slowly added the moonsaw flower juice until the sound disappeared, and then put the moonlight flower juice aside, constantly stirring the solution.
The viscous liquid in the crucible gradually calmed down, and its color changed to orange-red.
When the temperature drops to room temperature and the color has not changed, it is considered a success.
Ling Xiao kept fanning the wind while holding the textbook, wanting Kamo to cool down quickly.
"Jan is the first again!"
"He's so fast, he's the fastest to do it every time."
"Worthy of the Cambuur family."
"I heard from the teacher that he was already able to make F-rank cards."
"Wow, one foot in the threshold of the card master."
"Don't be envious, the contents of your pot are almost burned."
"Ahh My Carmoβ"
After three days of class, Ling Xiao had never carefully looked at the pride of the son of heaven in the class, Jan Cambuur.
Just one glance, she came to a conclusion.
This guy must have a lot of money.
A loose white shirt with a corset, a black mid-length coat embroidered with gold thread, shiny leather shoes with sharp corners, and short brown hair with oil and neatly combed.
The facial features are quite handsome, but the face is like a little old man, which is boring.
Ling Xiao snorted, it was simply the style of the noble young master.
Sure enough, it's a good reincarnation, one step to the end.
Adam looked at the color, smelled the smell, and finally shook the bottle to check the viscosity, and wrote on the evaluation sheet with satisfaction, "I specially put the ingredients that can make two standard recipes, and you didn't choose those, but used fire spider and iron horn powder." What is rare is that the amount of each material is just right, there is no loss, and you do a good job. β
Adam's words drifted into his ears, and Ling Xiao was very depressed.
The people who do the design are most afraid of the creative crash.
It's okay to do the same perfectly, if it's not as good as others, it's called an embarrassment.
Not to mention that she's a step slower than Jan Cambuur.
Forget it, she'll be the last one to go up.
Anyway, there is still half an hour, make a few more copies and take them home. In case the card production fails, there is a spare material.
