In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

[Spell: Find a Magical Pet]

[Ring Steps: One Ring]

[Spellcasting time: one hour, ritual]

[Requirements: V, S, M (Burn charcoal, incense, and herbs worth 10 Calamity Coins in a brass basin as the materials for this spell)]

【Effect:

You acquire a summoned creature to serve you. The summoned creature appears in an unclaimed space within casting range. Although it has biological attribute data, its type is either a celestial being, a spirit, or a demon (your choice) rather than a wild beast.

Your pet can act independently of you, but it will always follow your commands. Pets cannot attack, but they can perform other actions as usual.

When your pet is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate telepathically with it. Furthermore, you can use a single action to switch your sight and hearing to your pet's senses. During this time, you simultaneously possess the pet's unique senses, while your own senses are rendered essentially deaf and blind.

You cannot have more than one magical pet at the same time.

Furthermore, when you cast a spell with a range of [reachable area], your summoned creature can transfer the spell for you, and the effect is the same as if the spell were cast by the summoned creature itself.

This is the answer given by Zongwang when searching for Lu Mingfei.

Although Lu Mingfei couldn't cast spells and therefore couldn't test its ability to transmit spells, in other aspects, the Hidden Mouse served the same function as the magical pet described in the spell's description—

"Okay, but it's not very useful." After playing with the mouse for a while and satisfying his curiosity, Lu Mingfei put it back on the table and let it crawl back into the pen holder. "It's just a toy at best—but if we're talking about toys, there are plenty of things to play with now."

Thinking this, Lu Mingfei ignored the mouse and sat down in his seat to continue watching Luo Tianyi's movements. With the designed array diagram, all that remained was to replicate it, a process that even an ordinary person could handle.

"Okay, although it's said that even ordinary people can do it, it actually requires quite a bit of skill—if an ordinary person with no foundation tries to replicate it, the end result will often be that the engraving is distorted, and the entire blank magic card is ruined..."

"Hmm, that's very good in this respect; the array pattern is almost completely distorted." Lu Mingfei nodded in satisfaction, watching Luo Tianyi fill the blank magic card with alchemical ink.

Immediately following, magic was injected and materials were added. Luo Tianyi nervously closed her eyes, began to pray and mutter to herself.

Above the card, the magical imagery appeared as usual—but this time, the tiny specks of light symbolizing magic seemed to have heard some command, and they moved on their own above the imagery, eventually entering the black hole that symbolized the transmutation circle.

Lu Mingfei: ?

What...what happened? Why does Luo Tianyi's alchemy seem different? Shouldn't this kind of alchemy be like ordinary elf alchemy, requiring the manipulation of a black hole to find magic power? Why is magic power drilling into the alchemy array on its own?

What has she been doing?

Lu Mingfei really wanted to shake Luo Tianyi up and ask her questions right now, but after thinking for a moment, he took a step back and decided not to disturb her refining process.

There will be many more opportunities to learn the technical details later, so let's leave that space for her for now. After all, this is her first time creating an item card; if she doesn't do it well, she might not want to create cards anymore...

After the magic power flowed into the forging array, the card forging was nearing completion. Lu Mingfei, from a distance, glanced at it and saw its webpage:

【Shuojin】

[Type: Equipment/Fantasy Creation]

[Quality: Purple Legend]

【characteristic:

Severe and Deadly: Metal represents transformation, restraint, and purity. The weapon carried by this equipment can be changed according to the owner's will; it reduces the enemy's chance of detection during assassinations and increases attack power during ambushes.

Autumn Moon White: Autumn, pronounced "qi you qie," refers to the west, and the word "autumn" also means "to ripen." At this time, all things mature, and nothing is more precious than grain, hence the radical "grain." It adds the "Autumn Moon White" trait to the wearer, increasing stealth ability and attack power at night.

[PS: I ask you, have you fallen into the trap? — *The Legend of the Golden Maiden of China*]

Lu Mingfei was completely stunned.

No, why? Why was she able to forge such a high-level equipment card on her first try?

Especially looking at its characteristics, things like "metal follows change" and "when all things grow old," it looks incredibly sophisticated; and what about the celestial pendant he summoned? Isn't that just an all-purpose musical instrument?

As the radiance subsided, Lu Mingfei instinctively wanted to take the card into his hand to examine it closely, but he withdrew his hand as soon as he reached out—after all, this card was made by Luo Tianyi, and she should be the one to see it first.

Luo Tianyi turned around and looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile on her face. Then she reached out and put her arm around Lu Mingfei's neck, pulling him closer. The two of them looked at the card of the new equipment card together.

The card depicts a black women's nightgown, dyed evenly in varying shades, with fine red thread embroidered along the edges. Although the satin fabric gives a simple impression, it is adorned with quite a few odds and ends:

There were piccolo stones, locust stones, wind instruments, and rapiers...

The overall feeling is like that of an ancient assassin, who avoids the main entrance and instead leaps across rooftops, scattering flying stones as he runs. Then, in one of his missions, he'll face off against the protagonist, only to be caught in the protagonist's arms after a few exchanges.

While maintaining a good image is difficult, the stat boosts it provides are quite significant.

【Shuojin】

【✪✪】【Equipment】

【Shuo Jinniang: Use on a unit to change its equipment and attack method, and grant additional attack, defense, and magic power based on its star rating】

Based on star rating, it's undoubtedly true that the lower the star rating, the stronger it is; it's just unclear to what extent this enhancement will be available. If one mana plus two mana spells could be exchanged for a level 3 magic spirit…

Well, this time it's been a good opportunity.

—Want to give it a try? Perfect, there's a level one magical spirit right here…

Lu Mingfei secretly began to gather his magic power until Luo Tianyi finished reading the card's description and released the card.

Lu Mingfei glanced sideways at Luo Tianyi, grinned mischievously, took the card, and then reached out and smeared it on her forehead—

Her dress instantly dissolved, transforming her into a black garment in the blink of an eye. The scattered fragments remained on the black dress, swaying and jingling, producing a crisp metallic clang, but in an instant they fell silent, and no matter how she moved, they did not collide.

Lu Mingfei then realized that the description of "changing its attack method" had come into play.

Even a normal person wearing clothes with a bunch of small details couldn't possibly be this quiet, no matter how careful they were. Only someone who wears clothes like this year-round knows how to minimize noise while moving.

"Then, Tianyi," Lu Mingfei looked at Luo Tianyi, whose face was half-covered by a black veil but who still looked quite beautiful, "how did you make it?"
