Cthulhu Card Making: Medusa Card Making at the Beginning.

Chapter 4 Card Making [Medusa]

Lin Mo was delighted at the thought that he would soon receive tens of thousands of dollars in cash.

At this time, another private message popped up, attracting Lin Mo's attention.

New World Big Bang (Bai Xinqiao) "Lend me your homework."

After being stunned for three full seconds, Lin Mo replied with a "OK" and then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Bai Xinqiao, who ranked first in the overall ranking last year, is a true female academic master.

But who would have thought that the top student wouldn't even do his homework.

When he first created this group, he never thought that Bai Xinqiao would become one of his loyal customers.

At school, Bai Xinqiao is always seen by teachers and classmates as a quiet person with excellent character and academic performance.

Then why would someone copy homework?
The reason is that they have already learned all nine courses taught in high school as early as junior high school, and even learned some knowledge systems that they can only encounter when entering university.

For Bai Xinqiao, these homework assignments for basic courses in high school are a complete waste of time.

Thinking of this huge gap, Lin Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head. He divided the answers to the homework into three levels and uploaded them separately, then closed the communication.

Of course, he also set up payment unlock on the document. After all, it was a small business and he didn't sell on credit.

After finishing all this, Lin Mo walked out of the kitchen.

"You're back so soon. What's the starting gift for the card-making department?" Su Qian, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, asked as soon as she came out.

She knew that her nephew had special talents, so she also knew that Lin Mo could only choose a card-making starting gift.

"Some materials, I'll go up first." Lin Mo's eyes flickered, he couldn't wait to make his second card.

"Oh, the energy card I just replaced is going to be used up again soon." Su Qian sighed when she heard that Lin Mo was going upstairs, and even the frequency of stirring the coffee became much faster.

"Aunt, you..." Lin Mo smiled bitterly and turned to look at Su Qian who was sitting on the sofa wearing only pajamas.

The card-making operation workbench does consume energy cards, but it is not that exaggerated.

"Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore. Go and make the card." Seeing Lin Mo making a bitter face, a hint of cunning flashed in Su Qian's beautiful eyes. She lifted her drooping bangs and waved at him.

After seeing Lin Mo going upstairs, Su Qian raised her hand and cancelled the order for a set of trendy brand bags.

She still has the energy cards, but her trendy brand will have to be postponed again.

After going up to the second floor, Lin Mo opened the door and returned to his own little world. He felt relaxed.

Coming to the card-making table, Lin Mo stretched out his hand and placed the eight material cards one by one on it, then searched through his own collection for a while and replenished them.

[Dance of Prayer], [Core of Charm], [Priest Girl] are the three core materials first, followed by accessories, [Gold Earrings], [Ancient Book Festival], [Nun's Clothing], [Heavenly Voice], [Golden Palace Picture].
Staring at the material cards on the table, Lin Mo clenched his palms.

Even the lowest-level material cards on the market cost several thousand.

The core materials are even more expensive.

If it weren’t for this starting gift, Lin Mo would have to save up such a complete set of materials for at least half a year.

There was only one chance, and even though Lin Mo rarely made mistakes, he was still somewhat nervous at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, he began to operate.

Card making is divided into four steps: engraving, writing, reshaping, and naming, and each step requires tremendous mental strength as support.

If one step fails, not only will all the card-making materials be scrapped and all previous efforts go to waste, but it may even damage the foundation.

The higher the level of the card, the greater the backlash, so card making itself is an extremely difficult task.

This also means that the card making system is more rigorous and scarcer than other card making professions.

Every time he makes a card, it is a gamble for Lin Mo.

Fortunately, with the talent of [Evil Oracle], Lin Mo is blessed with a unique advantage, and both his source power and mental power have reached the lamp level.

If he were not just a senior in high school, he would be fully qualified to try to take the test for the first-level card maker certificate.

His mind was calm, and Lin Mo focused all his attention on the card making in front of him.

Step 1: Seal carving
Simply put, it is to draw pictures for the cards.

easy to say, hard to do.

If the drawing is not smooth, or cannot be connected with the subsequent story, then this card will undoubtedly be invalid. "Huh" Lin Mo took a breath, picked up the card pen, carefully dipped it in the card-making spirit liquid, and began to create.

The card he is going to create this time is called Medusa.

From the memories of another world, Lin Mo learned that this was a girl with a tragic fate.

A pure girl who believed in the goddess Athena was defiled by her uncle Poseidon in front of Athena's temple, and was cursed by the goddess she served to become a terrible snake demon.

In the end, Medusa's head was cut off by Athena's brother and embedded on a shield as a trophy. She was under the control of the gods for the rest of her life.

Lin Mo sighed helplessly and collected his thoughts.

The spiritual liquid dipped in the card pen kept outlining lines on the baseboard, and soon a magnificent palace appeared on the baseboard.

Dark purple lines began to appear on his body, which was a sign of the activation of [Doomsday].

Strands of black air as thin as hair continued to flow along his pen and, together with his mental power, covered every stroke of the pen in the palace.

After the background was painted, next came a girl with a graceful figure and a pretty face.

The girl wore the exclusive white clothes of priests, held the holy book in her hand, and devoutly performed her prayer dance in front of the statue.

Soon, as time passed, Lin Mo completed the first step of card making in an orderly manner.

Step 2: Write
Write a logically complete story and setting that can cope with the cards.

The first two steps are the core and framework of card making.

This second step of filling in text information may be the most difficult step for other card makers.

But for Lin Mo, who has another memory, it is a piece of cake.

Medusa is recorded in mythological texts, and usually appears as an immortal snake demon.

Lin Mo naturally cannot construct such a powerful complete form now.

But he could first construct her predecessor, the priestess of the Temple of Athena.

It represents holiness and innocence, with eyes as blue as the ocean and skin as white as snow.

According to memory, before being cursed, Medusa was a stunningly beautiful woman.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a little regretful.

However, on second thought, Lin Mo felt inexplicably excited that such an innocent and beautiful girl could be resurrected under his pen and be reborn here.

After some effort, Lin Mo successfully completed writing the text message.

Step 3: Reshape
It is to release the materials, then integrate them into the cards to be made, and reshape them into a whole.

With the source power surging in his body, Lin Mo picked up the material cards and began to piece them together one by one.

The first is the background. The next moment after the [Golden Palace Picture] is inserted, the background of the card panel and the palace become magnificent.

Next, there is the main body [Priest Girl] and two matching materials [Ancient Book Festival] and [Nun's Clothing].

As the three materials were integrated, the girl on the card panel seemed to come alive instantly.

The azure blue eyes and snow-white skin described in the text were perfectly fulfilled. At this moment, the girl who only appeared on the panel came alive, and her eyes became quite lively.

I don’t know if it was Lin Mo’s illusion, but he always felt that the girl he painted, although her face was pure and flawless, there was always a hint of evil in her eyes.

At this time, the consumption of mental energy caused beads of sweat to appear on Lin Mo's forehead. Gritting his teeth, he mobilized the materials and continued to integrate them.

[Golden Earrings], [Heavenly Voice] As the remaining material cards were injected one after another, Lin Mo's unfinished card began to become more substantial.

Inject the last core material [Charm Core] into it.

In a trance, Lin Mo seemed to hear the heartbeat of the girl on the card.

Those sapphire-like pupils sparkled with an enchanting light, adding a bit of charm inexplicably to the originally innocent face.

The last step is to name the card [Medusa]

The moment the name was written, the little mental power and source power left in Lin Mo's body were all poured out and integrated into the card.

The white card board changed color, and there was a faint black gas surrounding it. After a flash of light, a brand new card appeared in front of Lin Mo.
