Chapter 4: My Roommate is Not Human_2

Mossy Mushroom got excited and liked to say "Cute Mushroom."

"..."

Ree Shil sat beside him, eating his food without a fuss.

He had long become accustomed to these daily oddities.

"So, can we start preparing to set off?"

Mossy Mushroom finally calmed down after strongly condemning Straw Man, turning to him.

It had actually only traversed a few days before Ree Shil and had just become a card player not too long ago.

As for the Straw Man, it had already awakened, but it always had little interest in playing cards or running instances.

Its ambition was to marry a wife and have lots of little Straw Men.

So the mushroom and grass were both Level 1 card players who had only participated in the Rookie Instance.

The three had long agreed that they would participate in an instance together after becoming card players.

"I think it's fine. We can set off tomorrow morning after a good night's rest."

Ree Shil actually had this in mind as well.

"Then let's each ask our respective Card Clubs for a leave of absence first."

Mossy Mushroom picked up a mobile phone from the table.

Each one of them held different positions in the Card Club, and each supervisor was different.

Straw Man was a miscellaneous worker, responsible for various odd jobs.

Mossy Mushroom, on the other hand, relied on its harmless appearance to work at the front desk.

So the three of them each called their respective supervisors.

After Mossy Mushroom explained to his supervisor, his leave was granted.

Ree Shil, on the other hand, encountered some resistance when asking for leave.

Because not only was he skilled and handsome, but also one of the most popular faces in the Card Club.

But after some cajoling, his supervisor also granted his leave.

The most amazing one was Straw Man, who simply said, "I'm taking a leave, grass." and hung up the phone.

It's likely his supervisor on the other end of the phone was doubting whether he had been scolded.

After finishing dinner and cleaning up, Ree Shil returned to his room.

"Up next, it's time to try card-making."

Rubbing his hands excitedly, he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Card-making, or card fusion, is the most common and direct way to make cards more powerful.

With the card-making panel floating in front of him, he examined it carefully.

What appeared before him was a circuit board-like panel with a groove at the top to hold the main card.

Below the main groove were two trapezoidal lines.

One line connected another card-shaped groove with the word "Card" written above it.

The other line connected to another groove labeled "Material."

The purpose of the card-making panel was to fuse other cards and materials with the original main card.

The success rate had no randomness, only 0% or 100% possibilities.

That is to say, if the formula is correct, fusion can be completed.

It sounds simple, but it's actually the real challenge of card-making.

Because not everyone is willing to accept the consequences of failure.

At best, nothing happens, and the most that's lost is the cost of the fusion materials.

At worst, you lose the material cards or materials and might even scrap the main card.

But for Ree Shil, this wasn't an issue because he had an Absolute Card Sense.

The other function of Absolute Card Sense was to preview the results of card-making.

Whether fusion would be successful could be seen at a glance.

In this Rookie Instance, he had obtained five cards in total:

Kung Fu Tailor, Big Sheep, Iron stick x2, Wild fat cat

"Let me see if there's any hope."

He first selected the main card for this fusion.

It was the C-Rank Card, Kung Fu Tailor, that had just helped him win 100 cubical coins in the afternoon.

"Aha~!"

Just as he put it into the groove, the projection of the young woman with rhythmic body movement and Kung Fu charm jumped out.

Kung Fu Tailor

Breaking force, 35 points, C

Attack 35, 100/100, 0/3

[Body Technique - Passive]: When Kung Fu Tailor is directly attacked, damage is reduced by 5

[Double Strike - 3 energy]: Kung Fu Tailor deals two attacks with 20 damage each to a target

This was the strongest card he currently had, with both survival and DPS.

The downside was that the skills required a lot of energy, needing three normal attacks to warm up after the Reveal Card before they could be released.

However, once the skill was released, the endurance was relatively strong.

[Double Strike] can accumulate 2 points of energy during its release round, which means that after releasing the skill, she can use [Double Strike] again after every 1 round interval.

"I don't know if the Wind Listening System's energy restoration can be shared with the Breakthrough System."

The first material card Ree Shil thought of was the [Wild fat cat], which could speed up energy recovery.

This card doesn't have much practical value and is mainly chosen as material.

[Chatter!]

However, the fusion preview result was disappointing, and a prohibition sound rang out on the panel.

This means that these two cards cannot be fused together.

If they are forcibly fused, the fusion will fail directly.

"Let's try another one."

So he removed the [Wild fat cat] and replaced it with the [Iron stick].

This time, the fusion preview showed that it could succeed.

The fusion preview projection of the two cards turned the Kung Fu Tailor into a female with a toothpick in her mouth and an iron stick in her hand.

[Have you paid your protection fee?]

The originally straight and righteous Kung Fu bearing disappeared, and it became more casual.

[Kung Fu Rascal]

Breakthrough, 35 points, C

Attack 40, 100/100, 0/3

[Weapon - Passive]: Kung Fu Rascal's attack power +5

[Double Strike - 3 Energy]: Kung Fu Rascal deals two attacks with 20 damage to a target

"Uh, this change is a bit too drastic, isn't it?"

Ree Shil was a little taken aback.

However, if you compare it carefully, you'll find that this card hasn't really been enhanced.

First of all, the [Light Body Technique] that increased survival ability is gone, and it sacrificed survival ability in exchange for an additional 5 points of attack power.

"There are pros and cons, but this is the only card that is currently suitable for being the King Card."

"I still need to keep the survival ability, so I feel the [Iron stick] is not very suitable either."

After thinking about it, Ree Shil gave up.

"If this one also doesn't work, then there's nothing I can do."

He removed the [Iron stick] and replaced it with the [big sheep].

[Miecha~!]

Unexpectedly, the fusion compatibility of these two cards was also quite good, and they could successfully fuse together.

On the main card, the projection of the young lady changed into a white Kung Fu qipao, outlining her figure even more beautifully.

The firm look of a martial artist, under the contrast of the delicate face and the two spiral sheep horns, added a bit of cuteness.

"Good card."

Ree Shil's eyes lit up instantly.

Of course, it's not because of the appearance change of the projection.

Well, not entirely.

The main reason was the actual enhancement of the card panel.

[Kung Fu Sheep Lady]

Breakthrough, 35 points, C

Attack 35, 100/100, 0/3

[Body Technique - Passive]: When Kung Fu Sheep Lady is directly attacked, damage -5

[Double Strike - 3 Energy]: Kung Fu Sheep Lady deals two attacks with 20 damage to a target and causes it[Dizziness]

Added a hard control effect on top of the original skill.

"It's turned into a top card."

With his understanding of Cube Cards, this [Kung Fu Sheep Lady] can be considered a top C-Rank card.

So, without hesitation, he put in the cube coins and clicked the fusion confirmation button.

Hum!

The flash of light announced the success of card-making.

"This wave has been a huge profit."

Ree Shil immediately felt blissful.

Next, he tried again to fuse the [Kung Fu Sheep Lady] with the [Iron stick], but the result was still the same as before.

Moreover, since the [Kung Fu Sheep Lady] is already a second fusion product, using it as the main body to make another card would cost as much as 100 cube coins, which is quite unworthy.

After thinking about it, he put down the card and continued to preview the fusion of other cards.

Surprisingly, two [Iron stick] cards had good compatibility and could be fused together.

But Ree Shil didn't immediately fuse them, because he felt it was necessary to ensure that he owned at least four cards.

Being able to create a [Kung Fu Sheep Lady] today has already been a great harvest.

So, after washing up, he went to bed early and waited for the next day to come.
