In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

After spending four days in the daily routine on Earth, it's Sunday again, time to prepare for the journey.

Lu Mingfei began to review his attribute interface:

Name: Lu Mingfei

Class: Planeswalker (lv3, 4%)

Health: 100%

Spark: 1/3

Strength: 10 (2%)

Agility: 11 (99%)

Physical condition: 10 (99%)

Intelligence: 11 (21%)

Charisma: 15 (1%)

Perception: 12 (99%)

That's about it.

After two weeks of reflection, Lu Mingfei finally discovered a relatively precise method to improve the perception attribute:

Listening to music.

Analyzing the singer's and performer's emotions in the music, dissecting the score to see why the composer wrote it that way—after going back and forth like this for several songs, I finally reached this level of understanding.

However, this is pretty much the limit. Even if Lu Mingfei studies it in more depth, there is no additional way to create a "limit-breaking" experience that would allow him to truly advance to 13 points.

The same applies to agility and physique; if you get stuck here and can't improve, you can only put them aside and start researching other things.

Professional Skills:

1. Card production (lv1, 99%)

2. Card Refinement (lv0, 99%)

3. Card Fusion (lv1, 11%)

If Lu Mingfei were to explain, the lv0 level of the Card Fusion skill would be just as Cynthia said: it only allows the magical spirit to resonate with the user's mind. Only at lv1 can the user actively summon the magical spirit's possession state.

Instantly leveling up to level 1 has both advantages and disadvantages for the user. The advantage lies in the fact that the user can experience the greatest shock from the hearts of other magical spirits, thereby gaining other benefits.

For example, Lu Mingfei was able to create Miyamoto Musashi, which included the influence of large-scale warfare he obtained from the [Charging Fighting Knight].

As for the drawbacks, Lu Mingfei also experienced them firsthand: when merging with Ansite, Lu Mingfei's resistance to the excessive knowledge and information in his mind was severely insufficient. It was only because the two of them were in sync at that time and Ansite did not force him to stay that the two were finally able to separate.

However, if you were to combine this with someone who has a resistant mentality—no, even if they don't have a resistant mentality, but simply want Lu Mingfei to understand them—the danger would increase exponentially.

—Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of the information that Long Shi had brought back.

If he had created a magical spirit born from that place and then fused with it, the result would likely have been that Lu Mingfei was forced to accept the values ​​of that world under its influence...

Lu Mingfei shuddered and decided that he must spend some time together before attempting card fusion, at least to determine the relationship and differences between the two and to understand each other before trying to fuse cards.

This drawback is something that people who level up step by step from Lv0 will never experience. They will have the magical spirits actively contact and merge with them, and those who are willing to merge have already gone through this process, so this problem will not occur.

"Leaving aside this new skill for now, let's talk about card production. How do we overcome this 99% bottleneck?"

Lu Mingfei pondered deeply and racked his brains, but couldn't come up with a solution. So he made a wise decision:

Just leave it alone!

After all, this kind of bottleneck cannot be broken through by brute force. Moreover, even if Lu Mingfei were to think of a way to break through by brute force, he would not have the ability.

—You can't exactly say that to advance from level 1 to level 2, you have to perform some kind of blood sacrifice, offering up a portion of your own blood, right? And who could he ask to offer that sacrifice? That Lu Mingze?

Shaking his head vigorously to shake off the absurd idea, Lu Mingfei poured more mercury into the underground alchemy chamber.

The reason there was no 99% bottleneck in the card refining process was that Lu Mingfei was already preparing to conduct another refining process.

After achieving a spiritual connection with the [Charging Fighting Knight], Lu Mingfei decided to train him in the real world. This was because what the knight saw in the Mirror of Eternity was clearly an alternate world based on the ancient elites of numerous nations on Earth—

In reality, the French Royal Knights would certainly not have had the opportunity to fight against the Martial Army, the Byzantine Armored Knights would not have had the opportunity to face the Russian Archers, and the Chinese lance cavalry would naturally not have had the opportunity to charge straight at the "Zhu Xi's Legacy"—which Lu Mingfei believes should also be Chinese—pikemen.

Regardless of the dynasty or era, such elite troops are not meant to be used for such costly battles.

However, this did not prevent Lu Mingfei from choosing to use knight relics from the real world to upgrade the [Charging Fighting Knight]—

"This is one of the few sets of armor that survived from the knightly army directly led by Joan of Arc—more precisely, a set of horse armor and a full set of plate armor."

This plate armor is not complete, lacking an outer cloak, but the main metal parts have been preserved and appear quite shiny after maintenance:

The one-piece spherical chest armor is a style of armor from Milan, Italy. The left shoulder is deliberately enlarged to withstand impacts, while the legs are fully covered by thigh armor, knee armor, and calf armor.

As for the helmet, it was a pointed design with breathing holes and a slit for observation. At the back of the head, there was a place for inserting flowers, which should have been large enough to hold a bundle of official hat feathers.

"Come on, shall we put it on?" Lu Mingfei tapped the armor with his fingers, producing a crisp sound. The charging knight didn't speak, but instead picked up the armor and pressed it directly onto his body—

Okay, the replacement is done instantly.

The same applies to horse armor. As a ethereal being, it can also switch armor in this way, so they quickly completed all the preparations and stood in the center of the alchemy array to urge Lu Mingfei to begin the alchemy process.

Lu Mingfei: ...

To be frank, his decision to have the knight change his armor was partly intended to buy time—although he had rehearsed it in his mind many times, this was the first time he had actually done the card upgrade himself.

What will happen during the ascension? If everything goes smoothly, the Charge Fighting Knight will transform from an ethereal being into a flesh-and-blood French Royal Knight. Is this the right thing to do?

Lu Mingfei didn't know.

"But since this is our shared choice—let's keep doing it."

Standing before the charging knight, Lu Mingfei raised his hands high, and the entire transmutation array instantly shone brightly. There were no painful screams, nor any unusual signs of spirits rising; the entire process—aside from the light and shadow effects of the transmutation array—seemed remarkably peaceful.

But the calmer he appeared on the surface, the less confident Lu Mingfei felt inside.

Amid this anxiety, Lu Mingfei became even more focused, doing his best to sense the changes in the charging combat knight within the transmutation circle—slowly, his sensory threads even crossed that barrier, directly confronting the knight's transformation!

Perception: 13 (0%)
