The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dark couldn't help but ask, "It can draw out the thought matter in the brain." Old John nodded, then casually tossed the hook back onto the stall: "It's an old thing, the quality isn't guaranteed. Besides, you can't use it now. If this hook is still here after five years, I'll sell it to you."

　Dak's lips twitched slightly, but he ultimately left the antique shop.

　He knew that any high-level tool that touched the brain required immense power to control. Like how, even though he had the magic dropper, he only dared to use the safest method, the "dragonfly skimming the water." This replica of the Fate Hook was very similar to the magic dropper, except the latter could only drip one drop at a time, while the former could hook up a whole clump! That was far too dangerous. Just hooking away at distracting thoughts was fine. But to hook something deeper, it was likely that one hook would rip out his entire brain! "Fifth grade?" Dark wondered. "Will I still need it in fifth grade?"

　After replenishing a few blank magic cards and experimental materials, Dark left Traveler's Street. He still harbored a lingering thought about the Iron Hook of Fate, but only a faint one. As he entered the castle, a raindrop quietly began to fall. It was raining. "How lucky!" Dark glanced back at the rain clouds gradually gathering in the night sky and couldn't help but sigh.

　The weekend passed. Dark spent most of his time in the common room or the library. Wuh occasionally went to Traveler's Street, mainly to collect flower cards. But it seemed like there was only one batch of new cards, and the distributors appeared to have already exhausted their resources. He went around again and only managed to collect three more. However, he wasn't discouraged. Since the flower cards had already been distributed, he could just ask the students to collect them later. It's just that these flower cards always felt unreliable; they might expire at any time. Relying on external aids was ultimately not the right way. Dark spent most of his time in the library studying theories related to thought. He realized that his knowledge in this area was still far too lacking. If he could study more thoroughly, perhaps he could use more ingenious methods to extract more sins like [Pride] within a month, instead of just waiting for next month to arrive as he was doing now.

　The third week of November arrived in the blink of an eye. During the first period on Monday morning, Professor Sylph was still lecturing on the theory of sacrificial summoning magic. The students barely managed to stay awake until the end of get out of class, and then they all perked up. Even Dark couldn't help but smile. The next class was Professor Kazel's theory of magic, where they would begin creating their second magical spirit card under his guidance. Of course, some, like Dark, had already created a second one. Emma Metis was one of them. Occasionally, while in the library, she would summon her second magical spirit. It was a winged gold coin, whose best skill was playing the role of a gold coin.

　At 9:50, Professor Kazel arrived at the classroom a full ten minutes early, but it was already packed with students. He glanced at the enthusiastic students with satisfaction, clapped his hands towards the door, and then two muscular figures carrying a large box entered. "Three people, distribute the materials," Professor Kazel said after recalling the magical sprites. Emma, ​​always in the first row, silently stood up. Two other girls followed with smiles, saying, "We'll help too." It seemed that Emma's popularity had improved considerably. "I think everyone here has remembered i20, right?" Kazel.

　The professor walked to the podium after the bell rang, his tone as gentle as ever. "In this lesson, we will practice the Basic Transmutation Method together. Don't underestimate it because of the word 'basic.' Remember, for a long time to come, this will be the most commonly used method when you create magical spirits! Now, open your textbooks and let's review the specific steps of the Basic Transmutation Method together."

　The words had barely left his lips when a groan erupted from below the podium. "Hey, shouldn't we start making it right away?!" "Professor—"

　The young mages were as if a burst of primal power had been doused with a bucket of cold water. The atmosphere in the classroom plummeted. But Professor Kazel, of course, paid no heed to their complaints and continued the lesson!

　I spent several hours refreshing the backend, then slept for an hour, ate dinner, and updated late. I'll tally the backlog after midnight – I need to work harder next month! 12 words a day, keep up with the updates! Up! Up! Thank you everyone for your subscriptions! Group number: 7541025.

Chapter 75 Darkdemon's Golden Noble Card

　This time, the materials kit still included two blank magic cards worth 10 credits. However, apart from that, the materials in the kit were not clearly divided, and even the materials in each kit were slightly different, requiring students to judge for themselves. After half an hour of summer practice, the course finally moved on to the practical stage. Dark was already familiar with the process, and the production process was smooth and effortless.

　He didn't pay attention to anyone else for the time being, starting with the preparation of the Elf Honey and Lobe of Brain Essence, everything went smoothly. This time, in less than thirty minutes, he had already reached the final step of the basic (random) transmutation method. He activated transmutation circle number 1 and began solemnly adding things into it! At this moment, Professor Kazel was already standing behind him. Diana wanted to go closer to take a look, but given the professor's presence, she could only stealthily peek. “Statistically speaking, the closer the properties of the core materials are, and the more biological they are, the higher the chance of successful refining.” Dark looked at the core materials laid out in front of him, caught in a dilemma. This weekend, in order to obtain the flower cards, he had bought quite a few useless materials. In addition to the initial fragments of the “Centennial” turtle shell magical armor, he had also acquired some inexplicable things such as seashell bracelets, snake eyes, magical candies, and dried insects. Seeing that the light of the No. 1 transmutation array was already flickering, Dark gritted his teeth and, not expecting a successful transmutation this time, started with the turtle shell and put in almost all the core materials. Perhaps because most of them were useless materials, the No. 1 transmutation array accepted them all, swallowing them all! But when the light of the transmutation array reached its limit, just as Dark was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Professor Kazel behind him suddenly said, “Spit in it.”

　Professor Cazell: "Human saliva contains various substances. When there is an excess of core materials, adding a little saliva can catalyze the refining process." Dark's gaze was strange, but he still swallowed the embarrassment and spat in some saliva.

　he-tui! /Guang

　≤r

　了、c

　Is this Professor Cazell's little-known tidbit of knowledge? I love it! 73.

　In short, after that sip of saliva, the light of the alchemy array underwent a noticeable change. After half a minute, all the materials were fused and absorbed, and then impurities began to spew out from the surface of the array. wh extracted the essence and discarded the dross.

　The last time he used cat hair for refining, Dark failed at this step, causing the magic card to catch fire. This time, as various impurities were expelled, the light emanating from the magic card became increasingly clear, seemingly heading straight for "success." But soon, the magic card was overwhelmed by more and more impurities. Dark stared at the mountain of impurities that seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and three black lines appeared on his face (Illustration 7).

　Rose quietly turned her face toward the window.

　Professor Cazell was already two meters away. The increasingly strong stench quickly drew the attention of the entire classroom. Dark leaned back somewhat awkwardly, but did not leave.

　"That guy was as fast as ever. Emma pouted, somewhat unwilling. A large pile of ancient gold coins lay on the corner of her table."

　"Is it a defeat?" Robert asked, mouth agape. Witt shook his head. "I don't know." On their desks, each held "treasures" they'd acquired from the "10-credit shop." Witt had been observing Dark the whole time, from the pile of core materials worth at least several hundred credits to the final saliva. He'd seen it all. Then he glanced at his own pile of "treasures"—and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. The gap always appeared imperceptibly. One step behind, and the gap widened. If they remained complacent, the difference would only grow. It was like owing debt, the more they owed, the more they owed. Witt gritted his teeth, then a sudden inspiration struck him: "Since saliva works, what about hair, nails, etc.? Of course, ordinary people's hair and nails wouldn't work. But Witt knew he was special; the bloodline he inherited from the hero might offer him some inspiration."

　Just then, the Magic Cards on Dark's desk finally stopped "excreting." He held his breath, dipped tweezers into the pile of impurities, carefully picked out the Magic Card, and then quickly rinsed it under the tap. As the surface grime was washed away, a corner of the Magic Card gradually became visible—it was faintly emitting a golden light! Dark almost dropped the card with a flick of his wrist. Although he had previously used [Bliss 1] to evolve Eevee into an orange card with three skills, the two Magic Cards he actually possessed were blue cards with only one skill each.

　In addition to being differentiated by the number of skills they possess, Magic Spirit Cards also emit a halo of the corresponding color, making them easily identifiable to the naked eye.

　Gold, of course, represents a gold card.

　A noble among magical spirit cards, possessing four skills! Before the appearance of god cards with divine power, they were even directly called god cards! Dark never expected that he would actually find real gold in a pile of gold nuggets! He couldn't wait to use gauze to clean the last stains off the card's surface, finally seeing the magical spirit pattern on the card! A magical spirit with a small yellow head emerged from a red hard shell, like a little devil. But its limbs were tentacle-like like slimes, and there was a whole hole in the shell of the turtle, with white ring-shaped protrusions along the edge of the hole. The head and limbs protruded from some of the holes, looking soft and fluffy. "It's a [Golden Shuttlebug! Professor Kazel's exclamation came from behind. It seems the Shuttlebug has also been copused, but shouldn't it be a Shuttleturtle? Dark looked at the Shuttlebug with eyes full of surprise. This is far superior to the super tank he had expected!]

　[Card Name: Potpot] [Type: Elf Card]

　[Level O] [Race: Insect] [Attribute: Rock]

　[Magic Power: 900] [Attack: 0] [Defense: 2200] [Special Moves: Sturdy, Strength Evenly Distributed, Defense Evenly Distributed, Power Trick]

　"We already have Eevee, so what's wrong with getting another Shuckle?" "It's nothing new, isn't it?" "A 3-star card, 2200 defense, so what? Isn't that what Shuckle should have?" "Lady of the Bone 3-star changed to 0 defense 2200, Giant Shield Guardian 4-star 100 defense 2600, Thousand Years Shield Attack 5-star 0 defense 3000, so sparse and even!" Dark turned around and asked with an innocent face; "Professor, is this a very rare Magical Pokémon?"

July Summary and August Bounty Plan (Adjusted)

　how to say.

　Friday, June 26th, it all started when a friend wrote a book on Maomao for the first time, and the sales were phenomenal.

　So I'm so jealous, I'm like a lemon. How can I not be jealous with 13000 first-orders?

　So I can do it too.

　So I wrote 2000 words and published the book.

　The book failed to be published.

　Yes, the cover violated regulations and failed the review.

　In short, because I was a complete newbie, I only had a vague understanding of the author backend page and didn't see the "cover violation" notification immediately.

　Nothing much happened after that, so I clicked "submit for review again".

　After clicking "submit for review again," I finally found the "cover violation" notification and quickly started looking for a new cover.

　The first review took several hours to get a response, so I was quite relaxed. Little did I know that I had just found a cover image and hadn't even uploaded it yet when, in less than ten minutes, I received a response for the second review.

　It is obvious that the cover design violates regulations.

　The book's backend was frozen after two consecutive failed reviews. (Novel website)

　Everyone was stunned!

　This is a bad start, but it can't be this bad.

　But I couldn't just wait for the three-day freeze to end. So I created another account, slightly changed the book title, and submitted the 2000 words again.

　The cover did not violate any rules this time, and it was approved at 18:54 PM.

　Then, I was completely dumbfounded and stuck at the top of that "Recently Released Books" list, with 800 favorites for 2000 words and 1300 favorites for 6000 words.

　In short, getting to where I am today and having the privilege of meeting you all is all a matter of fate.

　This book is the first book I wrote on Cat Station. It is a starting point and is very important to me.

　Finally, thank you so much for your subscriptions, donations, virtual gifts, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes!

　I will repay everyone's support with equal effort.

　……

　It will only take ten days to pay it off.

　So there's no need to wait any longer.

　The bounty for August can be started now!

　There are four weeks in August. The number of chapters will be increased according to the weekly recommendation ranking. The top-ranked chapter will receive an additional 5 chapters, so the top-ranked chapter will receive 20 chapters over four weeks.

　Other bonus chapters:

　Monthly pass: 300 monthly passes will get you one extra chapter. (It's simple and straightforward to just add chapters based on the number of monthly passes, but I'm a little worried about doing it all within a whole month.)

　Donations: 300.00 for one chapter (Treasure chests = 0). Donations are not highly recommended; subscribing to the entire series is the greatest support you can give!

　Blades: 300 blades per update, all out, all in.

　Beginning-of-month donation: 1406.04

　Blade count at the beginning of the month: 1.

　……

　It's probably unlikely that I'll get to the top of the recommendation list, so it'll probably be more like monthly tickets, tips, and extra chapters with hate mail, which shouldn't be too much!

　Finally, I humbly request your subscription; subscriptions are the author's true lifeline!

　For those who are skilled at reading, please definitely click the auto-subscribe button if you can! o(≧口≦)o!
