Chapter 146 The Cat Boss's Expectations

This time, even the Cat Boss would be blocked outside the card-making workshop by its magical barrier.

But it seemed to enjoy watching Lan Qi make cards now, squatting outside the workshop, quietly watching inside.

"Just a peek, just a peek, meow."

The Cat Boss felt that listening to Lan Qi blow up cards was quite stress-relieving, and it was even more curious about what kind of card he could make if he didn't blow it up.

It had overheard Tata and Heberian chatting earlier and realized it had underestimated this young man!

Unexpectedly, he was a genius with a registered gold-level card maker license from the South Continent Card Maker Association.

It was hard to imagine that a gold-level card maker would blow up dozens of cards in front of its eyes without producing a single finished product, making the Cat Boss even suspect that this kid was deliberately studying how to increase the power of blowing up cards.

Lan Qi glanced at the little black cat at the door, feeling that having a cat that occasionally came to his house was quite suitable for him; he was experiencing the joy of raising a cat online.

Then, Lan Qi stopped paying attention to the Cat Boss and refocused on what was in front of him.

All the equipment in the card-making workshop inside the dormitory had been replaced with the highest-specification models provided by the Ikerite Branch of the South Continent Card Maker Association. This was arranged for him by Vice President Lawrence, who was in charge of proctoring the exam at the time, and it was delivered along with Lan Qi's temporary gold-level card maker license before he completed the platinum-level review.

Lan Qi first placed a deep purple, rock magic cube-shaped prop with a recording program on the cabinet on the far side of the workshop.

This prop could record the entire card-making process, which could be used to prove the maker of the magic card. In the patent application and promotion conditions of the Card Maker Association, if the card was made in a non-official witnessed setting, the recording of the process of making high-quality magic cards was very important.

Vice President Lawrence told Lan Qi that in the future review process, some senior members of the Card Maker Association headquarters who were hostile to the Kingdom of Hutton or Duke Micahia might nitpick and question Lan Qi's abilities and stability. Therefore, to be on the safe side, if Lan Qi had the opportunity to make high-quality magic cards, he must record them and use them as a trump card to gain a voice in the final review council.

Although the detailed steps of the production process and the attributes of the finished magic card could be hidden in the end, the quality and rank of the final magic card produced could not be faked under the recording and certification of this device.

After clearing out a spacious space on the workbench, Lan Qi took out three divided plates from the three-layer trolley next to him, filled with various materials. Lan Qi checked the previously prepared proportions.

He placed them next to the workbench, and with the collaboration of the Great Poet, he poured in the skills he had honed day and night for more than half a year, calmly and skillfully processing the materials for the last time.

For the production of this seal card with [Wolf King Proud Heart] as the core material, Lan Qi spent almost all his savings just buying auxiliary materials, including the money he had saved before, the bounty from the Saintess of Destruction, and the profit share from Professor Polao's compensation.

This was still considering that Vice President Lawrence had done his best to lower the material prices for him and had purchased some high-rarity seal-type auxiliary materials from branches in other countries as quickly as possible.

The final processing of the materials before use for Lan Qi and the Great Poet alone could make ordinary card makers' hands unsteady.

However, even Talia had praised Lan Qi for having a naturally good heart, without the slightest tension even when walking on a tightrope.

This was precisely the realm that most card makers could not reach even after a lifetime of practice.

And Lan Qi was just naturally like that in everything he did.

And so.

The clock in the living room ticked away.

Unconsciously, several tens of minutes had passed.

"Great Poet, can we start?"

Lan Qi put down the last processed material, ready to be used, and said to the Great Poet who was helping him mix the magic ink.

If he wanted to use demon magic texts without backlash in his human body, the Great Poet was indispensable as a medium. At the same time, having such an assistant and collaborator was also Lan Qi's reliance on being confident in making high-quality magic now.

Her magical engineering comprehension talent seemed to have inherited that of the magic craftsman who left behind the [Poem of Compassion] in ancient times, as if she was the incarnation of that magic craftsman.

Moreover, some of the techniques left by the [Poem of Compassion] in the Great Poet's body were incomprehensible even to Talia when she used the [Poem of Compassion] to make cards. They could forcibly lock the target with race, gender, and true name, involving a mixture of curses and seals. With Lan Qi's current mastery of sealing techniques, he could not understand them at all, only seeing the terrifying level of that magic craftsman's magical attainments.

The Great Poet's face also turned cold, and there was not a trace of emotion in her golden eyes.

"Just start yourself. I will help you."

The Great Poet was not just looking more serious, she was completely imitating Talia, in order to make Lan Qi feel that there was a stern supervisor beside him, helping him enter the best state of immersion.

"Okay."

That familiar cold gaze instantly put pressure on Lan Qi. He didn't hesitate much. After entering the state, he took the magic ink that the Great Poet had just ground from fire-attribute magic crystal powder and sealed-specialized magic core liquid.

The moment he touched the test tube, the magic power on Lan Qi's body began to resonate and synchronize with the ink. The ink mixed by the Great Poet seemed to be actively catering to Lan Qi's magic power.

Even if Lan Qi did not test or measure it, he was sure that the Great Poet had mixed the best ratio for him.

He poured the ink into the magic pen, feeling the flow of its magic power, and unlocked the seal of [Wolf King Proud Heart]. As the solid silver stone layer on it cracked and scattered, the cyan and purple interwoven veins gradually became clear, turning into a transparent gem-like heart.

Then came an extremely important step in the entire process of making a summoning card: modifying and enchanting the core material, using it as a foundation to give magical formula circuits and structures, and then expanding, extending, and connecting them.

The entire process required all participating makers to be fully focused and to achieve a high degree of synchronization, almost like having the same heart in different bodies.

As the pen strokes and carving knives in Lan Qi's hands trembled precisely, the Great Poet also kept engraving the formula runes constructed from their magic power into every pre-calculated magic line. The translated and rewritten mixed characters of human and demon magic texts were as dense and constantly wriggling as an insect nest, intricate and complex.

The two of them were fully focused on engraving, as if no matter how big the commotion outside, it had nothing to do with the space of this card-making workshop.

Gradually, the concept of time disappeared.

The minute hand of the clock in the living room had turned around and around, and the Cat Boss left Lan Qi's house at noon, bringing him lunch and placing it on the table, but Lan Qi in the card-making workshop showed no signs of stopping work any time soon.
