Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

After returning from the Soul Card Secret Realm, the lease period for the spell cards in Shen Yi's possession was almost up.

Fortunately, this exploration of the secret realm left Shen Yi in a slightly bad mood, but overall he still gained a lot.

The special materials salvaged from the golem were enough for Shen Yi to print a wave of cards to fill his deck.

Without prioritizing individual card strength, it should be possible to print the desired cards using top-tier special materials... right?

An hour later, Shen Yi, who was full of confidence, fell into deep self-doubt as he looked at the message indicating that the creation had failed.

Holy crap...

I've already used the best materials I have, so how could I still fail?

Hasn't the success rate already reached 10%?

I was thinking that when we printed "Blood Price" before, 2% of the time it was successful on the first try.

Could it be because no luck was injected this time?

Shen Yi was pondering this when Vera, who was just watching the drama unfold, ran over.

"Want some? These are from the little guys." Vera gestured for Shen Yi to try some.

The "little guys" she was referring to were the little elves.

With the planting of the mother tree, the ecology of the fairy world began to recover at a visible speed.

The mother tree seems to have its own ecosystem, which has led to the emergence of many novel creatures in the entire elf world.

Ilovena has been leading the little elves on various explorations in the wild these past few days, and has selected a batch of plants that can be used as crops.

The melon in Vera's hand is a crop grown by the little ones.

"The elves shouldn't need us to do anything for a while," Vera said, her cheeks twitching.

The crops could not have matured so quickly given the previously barren ecology of the elven world, so Vera took some soil from her hometown where she grew flowers to accelerate the growth of these crops.

Shen Yi was very surprised at the time.

You said you stuffed all sorts of magical gadgets into your stomach, fine, but why is there also soil and fertilizer?

Vera's reason, however, was simple and blunt.

Because it fits perfectly and there's still plenty of room, I've been too lazy to take it out after putting it in.

Shen Yi now has serious doubts about just how much Vera's belly can hold.

After all, the "little bit" of soil she gave the elves wasn't just a few flowerpots, but tons.

After this incident, Shen Yi was very certain of one thing: no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to fill Vera's vessel.

Shen Yi mentally complained as he took a bite of the melon Vera handed him.

The sweet taste of the melon burst in his mouth, instantly dispelling his frustration at failing to print the card.

After his mood improved slightly, Shen Yi raised his hand and injected 1 point of luck into the card, then clicked the card-forging button again.

Ding!

Accompanied by a sound similar to that of a microwave oven, the card was successfully forged.

Shen Yi was dumbfounded when he saw the finished card pop out of the machine.

No!

I only injected 1 point of luck, right? How did it work?

Shen Yi felt an urge to completely disassemble the equipment in front of him.

The doll sat to the side, watching her owner tinkering with the doll, swinging her little legs and happily eating melon.

It was as if the man's serious expression was so appealing that it made her want to eat.

"What is Ah Yi doing?"

Just then, Xiao Ai came downstairs and, seeing the strange scene before her, asked curiously.

"I ran into some problems with the card printing," Vera said, then, noticing Nangong Ai's attire, asked curiously, "Are you going out?"

Nangong Ai pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "Yes, the senior organized a party and invited me to attend."

"Senior?" Vera tilted her head.

The "seniors" Xiao Ai mentioned actually referred to other idol followers in the academy.

Followers do have their own social circles, especially idols who require technical communication. They might find a way to unlock new forms of themselves through these interactions.

"Then I'll go too!" Vera exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

"Huh?" Nangong Ai was taken aback, looking a little embarrassed. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate... After all, she's an idol..."

"Who says I can't be an idol!"

The doll's eyes darted around, then she said to Xiao Ai, "Wait for me!"

As she spoke, she jogged upstairs.

In no time, Vera came running down wearing a cute blue and white dress, her hairstyle had changed, and she was wearing a hat.

She looks very youthful and cute.

"How is it?!" Vera grabbed Nangong Ai's arm.

"Even though it's the outfit for the twins in the live stream, it's still okay to pretend to be an idol~!" Vera winked at Nangong Ai.

Xiao Ai has never been good at saying no to people.

After Vera's persistent pleading, the two left hand in hand.

"Holy crap! Why is it failing again this time?!"

As soon as Vera left, Shen Yi was dumbfounded when he saw the card that had failed to be forged again.

He frowned and pondered for a long time, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.

Finally, he turned his head and looked at the spot where Vera had just been sitting.

Vera had already left, and that direction was empty; there was nothing there.

"Could it be..." Shen Yi stroked his chin, his eyes becoming increasingly meaningful.

*****

Gatherings are always rife with utilitarian motives.

Especially these kinds of gatherings that are inherently purposeful.

Vera was greatly disappointed when she arrived at the scene.

Once the idols arrived at the venue, they mostly discussed their experiences in the arena, subtly boasting about their bosses' achievements.

Aside from the sales figures, the girls at the event were most interested in which companion robot was the best, and they also gave their opinions on the appearance and design of the new products.

"Damn it! This isn't the idol I imagined at all!"

Vera slumped over the table and said weakly.

Xiao Ai looked at her helplessly from the side.

"So, you need to clearly define who you want to become; this will help you find a completely new version of yourself!"

Beside Nangong Ai, an elegant young woman smiled and spoke.

She was the idol who invited Xiao Ai to the party.

"What kind of person do you want to become?"

Nangong Ai pursed her lips, and the first thing that flashed through her mind was her mother's posture in the dueling arena.

Her becoming an idol follower was also influenced by her mother.

But the mother's posture didn't last long before it gradually faded away.

What reappeared was the scene of her singing to the little elves in the elf world.

That concert under the meteor shower was destined to be a scene that Nangong Ai would never forget in her life.

The joy and hope on the children's faces were so genuine that singing in the Starry World Duel Arena could never bring them.

If I really had to say...

Perhaps it brings hope to all children?

Little Love thought to herself with simple sincerity.

"How about this, I'll set an example for you later."

The senior colleague next to him suddenly laughed.

She looked at the blue-haired girl in front of her. Although she had initially come to guide her because of her boyfriend's mission, she had gradually grown fond of this slightly dull junior.

"Huh?" Nangong Ai was a little confused. "What does this mean, Senpai Chihiro..."

"Because I think we'll meet in the dueling arena soon."

As she spoke, Chihiro winked at Nangong Ai.

"By the way, a boyfriend is way more useful than a robot!"
