Card Maker: My Cards Infinite Chain

Next to Yu Cang, a half-dragon hunter suddenly turned into a torrent of information and crashed into the anchor ring. Then, Aqiu's "scholar self" appeared here.

Aqiu is just a companion soul now. Since Duan Feng is not at Gudu University, Aqiu can only stay in the field of vision of the stars and cannot interfere in the real world. It was precisely because of this that he needed Yu Cang's help to conduct experiments.

The "Scholar's Self" that Ren Zheng made a few days ago is just the right time for Aqiu to come to the real world and have some fresh air.

"Yu Cang, you're here." Aqiu said, "I did some calculations yesterday. Don't worry, I won't waste too much of your time."

"Yes." Yu Cang nodded, "It's okay, Aqiu, we still have a lot of time... Tell me what you think first."

"Okay." Aqiu thought for a while, and then said, "You mentioned in your star level theory that the star level is the distance between the soul card and the soul energy well. I fully agree with this view.

“In the soul card system, the more powerful the soul card, the farther away from the soul energy well it is, so that it can exist stably.

"So, synchronization is to first compress and summarize the high-level soul cards into low-level 'adjustments', and then inject energy by injecting star levels to make the adjustments jump further away from the soul energy well, and in this In the process, the soul cards in the extra deck are used to guide corresponding changes.

"And this kind of subtractive synchronization... the principle is different. It seems that subtractive synchronization is just the first step of synchronization, which is to summarize the soul card star reduction into adjustments, but in fact it is not necessarily the case. Summarizing into adjustments is a card creation process, but synchronization is a summoning process. During this process, the summoned beast's star level is removed, and a large amount of energy will be released.

"If we look at the ordinary calculation results, these energies will be absorbed and taken away by the 'non-adjusted' card. Now what I am confused about is whether this soul card will bring these energies into the death cooldown. Will there be any What changes...is it possible to use this energy to do things."

Yu Cang nodded.

This is indeed something that cannot be understood by calculation alone.

"Then let me try subtractive homology first."

Yu Cang took out two soul cards and summoned a fifth-level half-dragon hunter and a third-level gray-white dragonborn.

He raised his hand and started operating according to the pre-calculated steps.

Taking the half-dragon headhunting as an adjustment and subtracting three levels from the fifth level, it is theoretically possible to summon a second-level summoned beast.

"Huh?" Yu Cang suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Aqiu asked quickly.

"……Failed."

Aqiu was stunned: "How could that happen?"

Yu Cang shook his head: "Half-dragon headhunting does not seem to be an adjustment."

This is strange.

He has been studying Synchronic Summoning for a long time. Before coming here, he also made some fine-tuning on this half-dragon hunter head to ensure that it could be synchronized summoned.

It stands to reason that there is absolutely no situation where adjustments cannot be made.

Aqiu naturally knew this, so he didn't ask if it was a soul card. He just scratched his head and said, "Is my calculation wrong...?"

In his opinion, Yu Cang is definitely more reliable than him, and there is absolutely no chance that there will be any problems with the experimental materials he brought.

However, Yu Cang gave the opposite answer.

"No, your calculation is very accurate. There should be something wrong with my material."

"Ah?" Aqiu was stunned.

While Yu Cang was thinking, he continued: "It's not accurate to say that... Aqiu, have you ever thought about something?"

"What?"

"That's..." Yu Cang turned his head, "Have you ever thought that the meaning of the star level is the distance between the soul card and the soul energy well. Then, we use the same tune to forcibly shorten this distance. This process actually means What are you wearing?"

"Yes..." Aqiu frowned, "Closing the distance? No, since you asked me that, it must not be that simple, then..."

Aqiu suddenly stopped. He suddenly looked at the two summoned beasts on the field and blinked: "Could it be... But in that case, my calculation would be wrong..."

"It's just a slight deviation in the direction. It's not wrong at all." Yu Cang smiled softly, "Then, if this subtractive homology is like this..."

Yu Cang took out several soul cards from the card box, and after a series of operations, he summoned a Source Eye Chaos Dragon.

Aqiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is..."

"Yes, thanks to the Chaos Dragon Egg Rhythm you provided me that day, I was able to make this soul card." Yu Cang said, "Of course, I made improvements."

"...I hope Duan Feng will not scold me in the future."

Yu Cang: "Okay, now... use the Source-Eye Chaos Dragon as an adjustment, and let it perform subtractive synchronization with the half-dragon headhunter!"

Level six minus five!

This time, there was finally a reaction.

I saw countless red rings emerging from the void, constantly reorganizing and combining in mid-air, and finally gathered into one.

Buzz!

The red ring collapsed into a star and turned into a very small summoned beast.

"Successful." Yu Cang smiled.

The new summoned beast in front of him has only one star level. Logically speaking, it should be very weak. It is difficult to say whether this kind of summoned beast can beat ordinary people. But... I don't know why, when Aqiu faced it, he could always feel a strange pressure filling his heart. Inexplicably, he felt a strong threat in his heart.

"It..." Aqiu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Hold on."

Yu Cang took out a blank soul card and a writing pen. After writing for a while, a white soul card appeared in his hand.

The card face of this soul card is a summoned beast that looks like a small baby dragon. At this moment, it is curled up with its eyes closed and huddled up. On its forehead, there seems to be a crystal structure embedded in it, and a cross-shaped glow is radiating from it at this moment.

Soul card name: Emperor Heart Dragon

Category: Summoning Card

Star level: first level

Quality: homogeneous

Properties: none

ability:

[Heart Source]: When the user is Yu Cang, this soul card can replace any fusion material within the range of will. The soul card using this soul card as the fusion material has [Dragon Power] and [Dragon Breath], and can increase light and dark attributes.

[Fusion of Will]: When the user is Yu Cang, it is activated after sacrificing oneself, and fuses with any target within the scope of the will.

…

Looking at the soul card in his hand, Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

The ability of this soul card is very fake. Not only can it replace any material, but it is also a "fusion" card. And judging from its description, the scope of this [Will Fusion] is very large. Whether it is in the deck, on the field, or in the death cooldown, even soul cards in disconnected and extra decks can be selected as materials. .

This outrageous ability should not appear in a first-level soul card at all.

But Yu Cang had no intention of being surprised by the power of this soul card. His mind was now completely immersed in the feeling of that moment.

Next to him, Aqiu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing that Yu Cang seemed to have entered some kind of enlightenment state, he wisely did not interrupt and quietly stepped aside.

At this time, Yu Cang had already closed his eyes.

"What happened just now..."

The moment he performed the subtraction synchronization, he seemed to feel countless malice in his perception. Although the malice was fleeting, he could feel that the malice was endless, as if there was no end.

When he was performing subtractive synchronization, his perception of malice was not clear, but when he followed his own perception to create this "Emperor's Heart Dragon", he once again sensed malice, and this time, those malicious It seemed to have turned into an ocean, like a substance before his eyes.

"...Where does this malice come from?" Yu Cang frowned.

The strange thing is that despite the endless malice, there is no disgust or hostility towards this malice in my heart. This is a very scary thing to think about.

Could it be...

Yu Cang looked at the "Emperor's Heart Dragon" in his hand.

He was silent for a moment, and for a moment, many speculations ran through his mind, and he seemed to realize something.

"I see."

"Huh?" Aqiu said quickly, "What? Did you find anything?"

"Aqiu, my guess is correct." Yu Cang raised his head, "Subtractive synchronization is the process of forcibly pulling the star level of a soul card into the soul energy well. In this process, the soul card changes due to the star level. Reducing the level will release a large amount of energy, but this energy will not enter any soul card, but will be injected into the soul energy well!"

"Inject into the soul energy well?" Aqiu was stunned, "What happens after that? What role does this energy play?"

Yu Cang's tone was firm: "It's excavation."

"Digging?"

"That's right." Yu Cang continued, "In subtractive synchronization, the 'adjustment' soul card is like a drilling well. Other soul cards use star steps to drive energy into the soul energy well, thereby stimulating the energy contained deep in the soul. The original power, this power spontaneously joins the summoning process, causing the final summoned beast to produce various magical powers."

He showed the Emperor's Heart Dragon to Aqiu.

"Just like this soul card... it represents the power related to 'fusion of will' in the depths of my soul, or to put it another way, this soul card is equivalent to the 'skills', 'talent', etc. in my heart. Wait for abstract things to materialize.

"For this reason, in fact, the lower the star level of this soul card is, the closer it is to my soul energy well, the stronger its ability will be."

"So that's it!" Aqiu suddenly realized, "It's really beyond my expectation... So, this summoning method also has a lot of room for manipulation?"

"That's true... However, you should also have thought that this method of summoning is also very restrictive."

Yu Cang paused, and then continued, "First of all, this summoning method is essentially the embodiment of one's own power, so...those ordinary soul card masters will definitely not be able to use it, and even some students with poor grades in the soul card master academy will not be able to use it anymore." Not all students may use it.”

There is no doubt about this.

It has been some time since Yu Cang understood the will of fusion. During this period, he has tried to guide others to learn this kind of thing, but unfortunately, there has been basically no gain.

This technique is very difficult to understand, and this difficulty has nothing to do with strength. Even a sixth-level and seventh-level soul card master is still confused when facing this technique.

The main thing is that there is no way - it is not like other skills, which can be learned step by step from zero to one hundred. It requires you to take one step from zero to one hundred, and when most people are at "zero", they can't even reach one hundred. If you can't see in any direction, how can you take a step forward?

Difficulty and intensity are equal. Once you understand the fusion of will, you will indeed have many advantages in actual combat.

The Emperor's Heart Dragon can have such strength precisely because this skill is very strong.

If it were any other technique...the intensity wouldn't be the same. If the strength is average, then summoning two or more summoned beasts will be a big loss.

And those soul card masters with average talent may not have mastered a few combat skills in total, and it is difficult for them to be good at it.

Moreover, even if you have enough power to support subtractive homology, it is not that simple. If you don't master this skill well enough, the summoned beast will not be strong either.

In addition to the strength of your own skills, the strength of this summoned beast is also related to your own strength of will, sense of belief and other factors... This is mysterious. In short, even if different people use the same skill to summon, the final summons Beast strength will also vary greatly.

The power of subtractive synchronic summoned beasts comes from itself. This feature alone means that this method of summoning is destined to become a toy for the strong.

It is precisely because of this that the two abilities of the Emperor's Heart Dragon are only available to Yu Cang himself.

"Another point..." Yu Cang continued, "Not all soul cards can be used as 'adjustments' for this kind of synchronization. Subtractive synchronization is the process of digging deeper into the soul energy well. 'Adjustment', as a drill, must You have to have a high level of compatibility with yourself, otherwise you will definitely fail."

In order to draw the soul card of the Source Eye Chaos Dragon, Yu Cang can be said to have spent a lot of thought. He used all his knowledge, skills and even the entry recorder before successfully drawing it. It can be said that to a certain extent , it is the embodiment of one's own fusion will.

In comparison, the half-dragon headhunter did not put as much effort into Yu Cang, nor could it represent Yu Cang's power, so it could not be used as an adjustment.

This kind of adjustment... is quite hard to find. If you don't look for it yourself as a card maker and just rely on others to help you make cards, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This time subtractive homology is more difficult to use.

"That's right..." Aqiu nodded, "This is really different from what I expected."

When he first discovered this summoning method, he thought it was a miscellaneous fish among miscellaneous fish. Multiple high-level soul cards were exchanged for a low-level miscellaneous fish. How could there be such a stupid summoning method.

But after Yu Cang conducted experiments, this summoning method changed and became exclusive to the strong... In any case, the increased intensity is indeed a good thing.

"Then, Yu Cang." Aqiu said again, "Is this what you were thinking about just now?"

"That's not the case." Yu Cang explained, "The moment the subtractive homology was successful, I sensed a very large amount of malice... Normally, when people perceive such malice, they will instinctively be afraid or Disgusted, but I have no such thoughts.”

"Malicious?" Aqiu blinked, "If we look at it according to the principle of subtractive homology...perhaps, this kind of malice should come from deep in people's hearts? Is it just inspired when exploring power in the Star Rank?... ...But that’s not right. In this case, the amount of malicious intent should not be as much as you described.”

Since Yu Cang used the word "huge amount", it means that it must be a lot. And if it were anyone else, Yu Cang would be a saint-like human pioneer in Aqiu's heart. In his eyes, even if Yu Cang had some malice in his heart, it would be impossible to use this adjective.

"...No, Aqiu, those malices come from my heart." Yu Cang frowned and thought, "Otherwise, if these malices come from other places, I would not be able to feel disgust... In fact, it is Being aware of these malicious sources convinced me of the principle of subtractive homology."

Aqiu scratched his head: "Is that so..."

"Well...but maybe that's not such a bad thing."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Yu Cang thought for a while and then said:

"It's very simple - if we continue to dig deeper into the subtractive homology, perhaps these malicious intentions will also become part of this power."

Aqiu was stunned: "What do you mean..."

"That's right." Yu Cang said, "Now, the star level of this Emperor's Heart Dragon is level one, which is theoretically the level closest to the soul energy well. But... if I go one step further and use a higher-level Fei How about adjusting the soul card?

"Will there be soul cards of 'zero level' or even negative star levels? Existences that are zero distance from the soul energy well or even exist in the soul energy well... This is no longer borrowing, but directly bringing the soul hidden deep in the heart. The power is fully energized.

"The strength of this kind of power is actually difficult to determine. But if there is still such a degree of malice hidden deep in people's hearts, then perhaps their power is indeed worth looking forward to."

Aqiu obviously also thought about this problem, his eyes were shining: "Really? Then let's start trying it quickly?"

But Yu Cang shook his head: "Not yet."

"Huh? Why?"

"Reducing to the first level is already the limit of the Source Eye Chaos Dragon. After all, this soul card can only represent part of my power, not all of it. If I want to reach the zero level or even deeper, I need to be able to better interpret myself. 'Drill'."

"That's it..."

"Why are you making that expression?" Yu Cang said with a smile, "This method of summoning is very powerful. You discovered him. Give him a name."

"Uh... forget it." Aqiu waved his hand, "Yu Cang, you said my calculation was correct... it's obviously completely different. If you weren't here today, this method of summoning would definitely not be perfect. Moreover, This is just a variation of Synchro Summoning, it’s up to you to choose the name.”

"Okay." Yu Cang didn't shirk anymore, "Then let's call it 'Dark Synchrony'."

"Okay!" Aqiu said, "When you have your thesis, don't forget to give me a second work."

"What words, one action, two parallel actions!"

…

later

Yu Cang came to the ice city.

"You're here, Yu Cang." The princess was debugging something.

The worm breeding plan is very successful. Stardust will use a specific rhythm to combine some leftover materials from the production of lings to make industrial lings. Using this industrial lings to feed the worms can speed up their growth to a certain extent.

The worms that were attracted last time have been cultivated for a while, and now they have almost reached a stable stage.

Now the Ice City can produce spirit seeds stably and is a qualified breeding farm.

In this regard, the princess was actually relieved.

To be honest, although she has learned a lot of knowledge, breeding insects... As a princess, it is definitely impossible for her to do such things!

Therefore, the princess was still a little unsure about whether the breeding would be successful.

If the breeding fails and the insects die in large areas, it will be difficult to find the third wave of insects.

Fortunately, it seems that it is very successful now. Even if there are some problems, she has solved them gropingly.

"How is the situation now?" Yu Cang asked.

"Fortunately." The princess nodded, "The wisdom insects can now go out to look for talents on their own. I have tried to release some in the past few days. They are very stable and there will be no problems."

"That's good." Yu Cang paused and said, "Xingchen, there is something I want to ask you."

The princess immediately stopped what she was doing and looked up at Yu Cang.

"you say."

"That's right, I just discovered a subtractive homology..."

Yu Cang finished explaining the experiments just now to the princess.

She thought seriously for a moment and then said:

"Yu Cang, I don't know much about your soul card master system, so I can't help you with the knowledge of synchronic summoning. But I know that when you tell me this, what you actually want to ask is about 'Huang' Bar?"

Yu Cang nodded: "Yes."

"As for the principle of how the wild infects people, the empire actually has no 100% correct statement." Stardust shook his head, "However, there is a mainstream statement that I can tell you -

"Under the starry sky, every ethnic group and every life has the concept of 'good and evil'. And wisdom is a knife that can separate good and evil. The good part floats up and breeds order. The evil part goes down Latent, gives birth to desire.

"No matter what life is, good and evil should be balanced. They are both limited by wisdom, but the wild will break this balance. It will expand evil without limit and continue to suppress good, until at a certain moment, the heart Desires completely occupy you - because evil thoughts originate from yourself, so theoretically no existence can resist this infection.

"And until all life in a world is out of balance between good and evil, then the 'Way of Heaven' in this world will also be unbalanced and will die. In this theory, the so-called 'Desolate Crystal' in the body of the Desolate Beast is actually It is the result of the 'good' part being infinitely suppressed along with some spiritual power."

The princess thought for a while and then said: "Of course, this theory is just a family opinion and may not be true. After all, even the theoretically emotionless intelligent AI can be infected... But the explanation of the concept of good and evil is very interesting. Very suitable to describe the situation you encountered.

"Yu Cang, from my observation of you these days, I have a feeling." The princess looked directly into Yu Cang's eyes, "Perhaps your tribe's 'soul energy well' functions as a 'lock' , it can completely lock some uncontrollable things, so that even if you are infected by Huang, you will not be completely controlled by desire."

Yu Cang seemed to understand something.

"So...what I felt when I was synchronized with darkness was the 'evil' deep in my heart? Then if I could find a way to reduce the star level to a negative number, wouldn't it be possible to summon me as 'Desolate'? "

"...My intuition tells me that it shouldn't be." The princess shook her head, "Anyway, this is just one of the ways to say it. How to judge is up to you, Yu Cang."

"……I see."

The princess was about to say something, when suddenly her expression changed.

She looked to the side and let out a light sigh: "This...Yu Cang, the consciousness insect I released before seems to have found someone who is talented enough to learn the spirit child!"

Yu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Really? Who?"

"His name is... Wen Renge?"

Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
