In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Chapter 176 Farting

"Speaking of which—wasn't this the weapon I gave Lilith? When did it break?"

Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, examining the weapons that had been placed in his integrated network warehouse at some point.

The corrupted headless knight's sword

[Type: Material/Weapon/Greatsword]

[Quality: Black]

[Description: A weapon dropped by the Pumpkin King, stained with the blasphemous blood of a demon. Whoever wields this sword will have their soul directly exposed to a potent poison called the perception of ecstasy.]

[PS: Black quality means untouchable. These items may be powerful or weak, but without exception, they all possess the ability to directly threaten life itself. —《Network Crossover Beginner's Guide》]

Its appearance still carried the imposing presence of a headless knight's sword, but now, the blade was covered with a layer of viscous, chaotic-colored substance. Lu Mingfei couldn't quite identify what it was, but that didn't stop him from keeping his distance: "Forget it, might as well use it for garbage disposal. Let's refine it. If we can make a useful card, we'll nurture it; if the card is too strange, then we'll just discard it."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Mingfei made a decision.

In fact, this is the first reaction of many summoners upon receiving such items contaminated by demons. Since they're going to be destroyed anyway, they might as well refine them; who knows, they might be able to make use of them. This is precisely why the vetting of summoners often presents a duality of strictness and leniency.

Demons cannot directly corrupt summoners as they would corrupt others, especially established masters—even if they forcibly infuse corruption into a soul, their experience often allows them to promptly cut off the corrupted parts and then throw them into the transmutation circle.

As for those summoners who lack skill—I've already said they lack skill, why waste so much effort polluting them? Their teachers will see right through them, making it all a waste of time.

Therefore, demons can only try to entice the summoner's own desires, using money or treasures, or knowledge as a lure. This is why the most summoners fall into "vicious arts".

Since it can only be lured, there is no such thing as the demon only reaping the benefits: many times, summoners can use this to get something for nothing and gain more from the demon.

Therefore, sometimes, even if a summoner has demon-related items, no one will condemn them.

However, in reality, according to the law, summoners who possess items related to demons are subject to the most severe punishment—this is because once they are bewitched by demons, the damage they can cause is often much greater than that of other professions.

Even a mage with mediocre skills can become a competent turret, let alone a summoner who is actually more destructive than a mage.

Forming an army single-handedly is no joke; given enough time to prepare, Lu Mingfei felt he could even forge an entire city into a card—

Although Lu Mingfei considered himself outstanding among the students, he was far inferior to his teachers. If an excellent student could achieve this level, what could a teacher, or even a legend on this path, possibly achieve?

"Forget about that, it's a bit too far off-topic. Let's talk about something closer—since this thing is contaminated by the toxin of 'Ecstatic Perception,' could it be used as material to refine a dragon spirit?"

"After all, Tiamat is a god in this realm—"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei decided he should give it a try and asked the club for a private room.

"Ford, Lu asked for another ream of paper."

A student ran up to Sterry and reported, "He's already asked for three reams of paper in just a few hours—do you think he can succeed?"

"We can only try our luck—let's give him another stab," Stella sighed.

Refining cards always involves a gamble, no matter when you do it. That's why summoners often go crazy before and after refining cards.

The better ones sleep and eat to their heart's content, listen to music, watch dances, or appreciate some paintings; the worse ones either go to places inconveniently located in tourist areas for unspeakable things, or arrange to have a deadly duel.

That's why Stella thought Lu Mingfei was just taking a chance this time.

He didn't even tear the paper; he just kept verifying the circuit diagram!

"Never mind, I just hope he succeeds."

Stella shook her head and stopped staring at them.

Just then, in this secluded room where no one paid any attention, after using up hundreds of sheets of paper and all four of his own sparks, Lu Mingfei finally calculated the optimal solution: "Using this solution, we can sever the connection to the outside world while preserving the potent poison of ecstasy perception to the greatest extent possible—" Looking at the complex spiral-like array in his hand, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh: "Although this will inevitably reduce the properties of the materials, there is no doubt that this is the best that can be achieved without introducing that deadly external toxin."

"Come, let me see—what exactly does this potent poison of ecstatic sensation look like!"

Magic flowed, and the magic circle began to rotate. After summoning the corrupted headless knight's sword, Lu Mingfei didn't touch the deadly blade. Instead, he lightly raised his hand and summoned another unit: "Wow—"

[Farting elf]

[Type: Humanoid Creature]

[Quality: Gray and damaged]

[Level: LVO]

【characteristic:

Green Skin: This unit is a special organism called "Green Skin". It has many characteristics of animals, plants, and fungi, including strong mobility, the ability to survive by photosynthesis, and the ability to reproduce using spores.

[PS: The lowest scum of the Greenskin society, the targets of ridicule and bullying, but their innate sycophantic genes allow them to quickly find their boss, attach themselves to him, and then turn around and bully the other lackeys—"Greenskin Sociology," The Lackey Chapter, p. 441]

These are the things that I, Stat, produced after entering the Forging World. In addition to this gray and broken fart spirit, there is also a white ordinary creature called Skull.

They come out as cards, so Lu Mingfei doesn't need to refine them. But Lu Mingfei really doesn't know what they can do. Maybe they can only be placed next to my State to accelerate his growth.

So at this point, we'll reuse it as waste and use it to dispose of the headless knight's sword.

After he grasped the greatsword in his hand, the visibly filthy coating began to spread across the fart spirit's body.

Fortunately, the fart spirit's brain probably can't perceive what "ecstatic sensation" is; after placing the greatsword into the radiance of the card-forging process, it still probed and probed further with a heart full of doubt—

"How did you fall in?"
