Who said this card is outrageous?

"Then let's make a water-attribute one." Zhang Che opened the picture book left by his master and started searching through the second-tier public version cards.

Finally, based on the materials at hand, the cards to be made next were determined:

The Summon Card [Murloc Vanguard] is made using the Murloc Warrior's Spine and a Water-type Crystal Core. It creates a Murloc warrior carrying a trident. It is a green card with average land combat strength but high water combat strength, making it a somewhat specialized type.

The equipment card [Water Trident] is primarily made from the spine of a Murloc Warrior, plus some claws or teeth from Tier 2 Murlocs. It comes with a skill that allows you to enchant it with water elements during battle, enhancing the power of water-based attacks.

In addition, the weapon manifested by this card can also give the holder extra bonuses when fighting at sea, making it one of the most cost-effective low-tier cards.

Skill Card [Charge] - A short-range dash skill, a classic that needs no further explanation.

Zhang Che arranged the materials on the card-making table, took a deep breath, and began to work.

Drawing the card blank, adding materials, infusing spiritual energy... he did every step with utmost care.

Although obtaining a second-tier green card is not too difficult for him now, he cannot be careless.

Two hours later, all three cards were completed, seemingly a little faster than before.

Zhang Che wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, stacked the three cards together, and silently chanted, "Merge."

A moment later, the light faded, and a brand new card radiating blue light appeared in his hand.

However, the image on the card made him freeze in place:

It was a humanoid creature about half the height of a person, with several octopus-like tentacles on its head, its body covered in dark blue scales, webbed hands and feet, and a long, thin tail trailing behind it.

It held a strangely shaped trident in its hand, grinning and revealing a set of sharp teeth.

Card Name: Tidal Sea Spirit (Water)

Type: Summoning Card

Level: Tier 2

Grade: Blue

Skills: Mischievous and playful

Talent: Clever Fighter

(Note: Is it standing on the halberd handle to maintain its balance? Does it think it's very tall?)

Zhang Che: "..."

He stared at the familiar figure on the card, and the scene of playing games with his roommates in the college dormitory flashed before his eyes. At the same time, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Chapter 12 Fu Xing Visits

It's happening again!

Last time it was Vulpix, this time it's Fizz; one is a Pokémon, the other is a League of Legends...

So what exactly is this weird thing called his special ability?!

However, these two encounters led Zhang Che to speculate about the origin of his ability, suggesting that it likely came from a world he had lived in, just like his own, and that it also carried some information from that world.

This is why each time cards are fused, the corresponding card form is automatically matched.

Then there were the forms of the two cards. He wasn't sure about the [Six-Tailed] card, but after seeing the [Tidal Sea Spirit] card, which only had a passive skill and two active skills, Q and E, Zhang Che was basically certain that the card he was making was not actually the complete version.

As for the reason, Zhang Che guessed that the second-tier cards were probably not enough to contain all the abilities in the information of "Tidal Sea Spirit". When he was able to create higher-level cards, there would be a [Tidal Sea Spirit] with its own ultimate move.

Zhang Che put the cards away and decided to stop dwelling on the issue.

As long as the ability is useful, who cares about the mess behind it? That's clearly not something he should be considering right now.

……

For the next few days, Zhang Che stayed home and focused on practicing his mental control.

He read through the notes left by his master about fine-tuning more than a dozen times, and took out a lot of first-tier materials to practice, trying to deliberately adjust the strength of his mental energy output during the refining process.

The effect wasn't great, but it was at least slightly better than before.

That morning, Zhang Che had just destroyed another Tier 1 Blue Card and was about to take a break when there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and found Fu Xing standing there, but Yu Renjia was nowhere to be seen.

Fu Xing smiled brightly: "At home?"

"Yes, come in and sit down." Zhang Che stepped aside to let him in, and casually asked, "Yu Renjia isn't with you?"

Fu Xing's expression subtly changed, and he chuckled dryly twice: "No, I came by myself."

Zhang Che raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions.

After the two sat down, Fu Xing became noticeably restless, a stark contrast to his previous carefree demeanor.

Zhang Che poured him a glass of water and casually asked, "How did you find my house?"

"I heard Boss Wang mention your master's name once before, so I've been asking around about it all the way here." Fu Xing took the water glass and took a sip. "Did I disturb you?"

“No.” Zhang Che sat down opposite him, his gaze sweeping over his face. “You made a special trip, and kept it from Yu Renjia. Did you intend to secretly improve and then amaze everyone?”

"No, no, what are you talking about!" Fu Xing quickly waved his hands in denial, determined to defend his integrity to the death!

"Then why did you come to see me?" Zhang Che asked leisurely.

Fu Xing nervously rubbed his hands together, a somewhat unnatural smile appearing on his face: "That, the little white fox with six tails that I saw in the card shop last time, you remember it, right?"

You mean the Six-Tails?

"Yes, that's right. I want to buy one, exactly the same one."

Zhang Che was taken aback: "Why would you buy a Six-Tailed Fox? A warrior like you can't use a blue card of the same tier, can you?"

"It's not for me." Fu Xing quickly waved his hand, then remained silent for a few seconds, his expression becoming somewhat subtle, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhang Che didn't urge him, he just watched him.

"It's for my girlfriend," Fu Xing finally blurted out, his voice half a tone lower than before.

"Girlfriend?" Zhang Che raised his eyebrows even higher, already sensing something juicy.

“Yes, she’s a third-year student, majoring in Card Mastery.” Fu Xing’s expression softened visibly when he mentioned his girlfriend. “She recently advanced to the third tier, and I wanted to give her a gift to celebrate.”

Zhang Che nodded, indicating he understood. And giving a summoning card to a card master was indeed the most appropriate thing to do.

The reason for coming alone without telling Yu Renjia is that the former still doesn't know that Fu Xing has a girlfriend.

"He didn't know?" Zhang Che looked at him suspiciously. "Aren't you two inseparable brothers?"

"That's precisely why I can't let him know, since we're inseparable," Fu Xing said with a bitter face. "If that kid finds out I have a girlfriend, he'll definitely tell the whole world."

Zhang Che held back his laughter.

Okay, so this guy sneaked over here because he was afraid his buddies would find out he's no longer single. But compared to having a girlfriend, Yu Renjia probably hopes Fu Xing is here to secretly improve his skills.

But despite the thought, business opportunities are still available.

“Alright, I’ll take this job.” Zhang Che put away the cloth bag. “However, we’re currently a bit short on materials for the Six-Tails…”

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Xing quickly picked up his backpack and showed it to Zhang Che. Inside were several sets of materials for making the [Snow Fox] card, as well as various kinds of ice-type extraordinary materials.

Although they were all low-grade items, it was still quite an achievement for him to have managed to acquire so many.

"Is that enough? If not, I'll go find more." Fu Xing looked at the other side expectantly and explained, "I inquired before coming here. Master Cheng Shu's specialty is making Snow Fox cards, so I think Six-Tailed Fox should be related to Snow Fox, so I collected materials in that direction."

Zhang Che couldn't help but glance at Fu Xing again, thinking to himself that this person seemed carefree, but was actually quite thoughtful.

The fact that he thought of starting with the Snow Fox to collect materials shows that he had indeed done his homework.

"That's enough. I still have some stock; we should be able to make it." Zhang Che stood up. "You wait here for a bit."

"Alright!" Fu Xing immediately beamed. "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Che carried the materials into the card-making room and closed the door.

Then came the step-by-step card production process, but with his previous experience, he was noticeably more relaxed this time.

He deliberately delayed for a while, and several hours later, Zhang Che finally pushed open the studio door and came out.

Fu Xing was sitting on the sofa drinking water; his glass was empty, and he was clearly getting impatient. Hearing the door open, he immediately stood up and looked expectantly at Zhang Che.

"I have fulfilled my mission." Zhang Che handed over the card.

A pale blue sheen flowed across the card, and the six-tailed fox on the card was lifelike, exactly the same as the previous one.

"Done!" Fu Xing took the card, his eyes lighting up. "Thanks, brother. How much for this card? Name your price!"

"Don't thank me yet." Zhang Che raised his hand to signal him not to get excited. "You have to check the goods first and make sure there are no problems before you say anything."

After saying that, he infused the card with his spiritual power, allowing Fu Xing to watch the little fox jump out of the magic circle and further confirm the card's quality and attributes.

This summoning is not mind-bound, so others can still use it normally.

Fu Xing stared at the Six-Tails for a long time, his smile growing wider and wider: "No problem, absolutely no problem!"

After the trial period ended, he carefully put the card away before asking how much it cost to make the card.

“You brought most of the materials yourself; I only provided the craftsmanship and some accessories.” Zhang Che thought for a moment, “I’ll give you 20,000 star coins.”

“Okay!” Fu Xing didn’t stand on ceremony with him.

Neither of them mentioned what happened to the remaining materials.

After the transfer was completed, Fu Xing stood up to say goodbye.

As he reached the door, he suddenly turned around, his expression turning somewhat embarrassed: "Um... could you please keep this a secret for me? Don't tell Yu Renjia yet?"

Zhang Che nodded, suppressing a laugh: "Don't worry, my mouth is sealed."

"Thank you, thank you!" Fu Xing thanked him repeatedly, then walked out the door with light steps, his whole body swaying with the wind.

Chapter 13 Bloodshed Under the Night

For the next two days, Zhang Che didn't go anywhere, locking himself in his studio and burying himself in making cards.

The materials left behind by Fu Xing were of decent quality, and combined with his existing stock, they were enough to make quite a few good things.

In order to further verify his special ability, he made all the green cards that the card-making manual could currently produce.

And unsurprisingly, they were mostly familiar faces from my previous life—
