Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

Card Recipe

Time 16:52

Location Sky Blossom City, Adventure Guild Association, Adventure Guild Mall

Card creation, theoretical young Wyatt could be considered a pro in this but practically he had zero experience as one had to be a Card apprentice to practically create a card. 

Thanks to Papa and Mama Wyatt, Young Wyatt was familiar with the card creation process, he had seen them create hundreds of cards.

But still watching someone else eat will not solve your hunger, similarly watching card creation hundreds of times did not mean that Young Wyatt was good at card creation. 

It meant that Young Wyatt had enough theoretical knowledge to start a card creation process on his own. 

There were many beginner card recipes in young Wyatt's memories, these were all basic card recipes meant for beginner card apprentice's to practice card creation, so I did not have to worry about copyright issues over these card recipes. 

One card recipe [superhuman] in particular caught my attention, 

[Card Recipe Name: superhuman

 Card Type: Skill Card (passive) 

 Card Rank: F rank, common grade

 Card Ratings : [1-40]stars

 Card Durability : [60-100]

 Card effect: enhances users bodily functions to a superhuman level passively. Additional effect - superhuman stamina.

 Card Ingredients : 

 Titan Vine fluids - F rank, Common grade

 Titan vine essence - F rank, Common grade

 Titan vine core - F rank, Common grade

 Common Core - F rank, Common grade] 

With this card, my body would work more efficiently and I would not have to worry about 

Me getting tired. Deciding on this card recipe I said, "how much for a set of superhuman card recipe ingredients?"

"One set of Superhuman card recipe has 4 F rank ingredients, 

Titan Vine fluids - $800

Titan vine essence - $1200

Titan vine core - $2,099

Common Core - $100

Total - $4,199

How many sets do you require sir?"

My left eyelid twitches hearing the cost for one set of superhuman card recipe ingredients. For some reason all of a sudden my throat went dry and I started to feel thirsty. 'Is this how being poor felt?' I thought. 

As if the saleslady could hear my inner thoughts she said, "sir if you are going to practice card creation then I would recommend you to our beginner's card recipe catalog. It's cheaper and more affordable."

Hearing her last sentence my left eyelid twitches again, "that would be helpful"

Looking at the beginner's card recipe catalogue shared by the saleslady I felt more thirsty, with money that I have on me I could barely buy one set of card recipes. 

After browsing the beginner's card recipe catalogue for while I finally found one card recipe within my budget, 

[Card Recipe Name: Gale Rabbit leather boots

 Card Type: Item Card 

 Card Rank: F rank, common grade

 Card Ratings : [1-40]stars

 Card Durability : [75-100]

 Card effect : Sprint (active), Double jump(active) 

 Card Ingredients : 

 Gale Rabbit leather - F rank, Common grade

 Gale Rabbit core - F rank, Common grade

 Common Core - F rank, Common grade] 

Sprint - increase agility for a minute. Cooldown time - 240 seconds

Double Jump - ability to jump a second time in the air. Cooldown time - 35 seconds

Gale Rabbit leather - $100

Gale Rabbit core - $999

Common Core - $100

Total - $1,199

Sprint and jump were reasonable ability, the card effect didn't matter cause I was planning to sell whatever card I made back here in the mall. 

And make profits with the difference in selling price and ingredients price. After all, a good quality Gale Rabbit Leather Boots could sell from anywhere around $4,100 to $6,099.

With the money on me, I can buy 3 sets of Gale Rabbit Leather Boots recipes. If I can successfully make one item card I would still manage to reap a minimum profit of $500.with this in my mind, 

"I would like 3 sets of Gale Rabbit Leather Boots card ingredients."

"Sure sir, that would be $3,597. Sir, I would like you to consider joining Adventure guild association membership with it, you will be entitled to a 5 % discount for your purchase at the guild association mall."

"Okay, where do I sign?" Adventure guild association membership has no strings attached, it is a stunt to make sure that customers would do their next shopping at guild association mall for a 5 % discount. 

After becoming a proud member of Adventure guild association mall, collecting 3 sets of ingredients and paying $3,417.15, I prepared to leave but the saleslady stopped me, 

"Sorry sir, I forgot to mention that every silver grimoire holding member can use guild association mall card lab 10hrs per month for free. Would you like to avail them now sir?"

I do need a quiet place to create cards and it would be hectic to come back again to sell the Item card, so why not try this fancy guild association mall card lab. 

"Yes please, I would love to. Lead the way."
