Chapter 226: Side Quest Summary

Ding ding——

Dang dang——

Back at the Great Cosmic Workshop, Tiancheng Guang stood before the workshop's gate, gazing upward.

The universe, the stars, all things existed above the workshop; distant stars twinkled one by one, the moon glided past the workshop's side, and several busy spirits darted swiftly through the moonlight.

Tiancheng Guang stretched lazily.

As more and more spirits Tiancheng Guang rescued settled in, the interior of the Great Cosmic Workshop had gradually become a miniature spirit society, with the workshop at its core and other "near-Earth planets" serving as homes for spirits who now also became members of this workshop.

Of course, they were merely residents of this sub-dimension, occasionally lending a hand to Wan Rong and others, gathering resources—that was all. The rest, what they did in their spare time, where they stayed, it didn't matter.

As long as they didn't disturb Tiancheng Guang's alchemical work, this world was vast enough; they could live anywhere they pleased.

However, recently, some spirits who wished to join Tiancheng Guang's team were now training under Bai Jing's leadership to liberate their powers.

Tiancheng Guang greeted a few spirits helping out in the workshop, then plunged into the Great Furnace room.

He definitely wouldn't put Super Fusion directly into his deck yet.

After all, he still lacked sufficient confidence in his current power.

But considering the greatest enemy over the next year would undoubtedly be Yu Beier, Super Fusion truly needed to be used.

Over the past year, Tiancheng Guang's spirit adaptability rose from Level 4 to Level 6—but in truth, his actual adaptability remained "5"; the outward appearance of Level 6 was entirely due to Tierra's soul residing within his body, elevating his adaptability by one level.

Now, Tiancheng Guang had further mastered Super Fusion through alchemy; if he continued consistently, using Super Fusion was no longer as impossible as before.

After all, Tiancheng Guang had previously used Super Fusion and alchemy to create lower-tier monster cards; now, he could slightly control Super Fusion, allowing it to absorb more duel energy to accelerate the birth of "Fusion Monster Cards."

But then again.

The new "Fusion" card, Gem Knight Dispersion—Tiancheng Guang had never seen it before, but after pulling it out and using it, Tierra reacted with, "Ah! Oh oh oh! Isn't this that thing from back then? Turned into this card now?"

This indicated that the events depicted on this card had clearly occurred in the DT world, though Tierra himself didn't know which of those events had become cards.

Tiancheng Guang could only speculate that this was likely a card released after his Chuanyue.

That was good—it meant his Super Fusion could still grant him more powerful fusions over time.

Beyond that, Tiancheng Guang was pondering the current "side quest."

The main quest, of course, was using Super Fusion.

The side quest was the continuous creation of "Fusion Monster Cards" and "Fusion Support Cards" by Super Fusion.

First, two cards showing absolutely no movement.

Chaos Illusion Demon·Amityl and Herm's Claw.

As for the latter, it didn't matter much; according to Tierra, to "charge" this card, Tiancheng Guang had to duel a "Legendary Duelist." So Tiancheng Guang had never expected its completion.

After all, it couldn't possibly increase.

And on the other side…

Chaos Illusion Demon·Amityl remained completely motionless.

It wasn't that its "completion level" hadn't moved—in fact, after such a long time since then, this card was already complete.

But—

Just like Midrash's card, when Tiancheng Guang placed it on his dueling field, it was completely useless.

Tiancheng Guang wasn't disappointed by this.

Because he immediately understood the situation.

The day he encounters someone using the Three Illusion Demons—that's when this card will become usable.

For now, he could only wait.

As for…

Tiancheng Guang pulled out the card he was most interested in.

Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon!

Tiancheng Guang carefully wiped the card—even though it had not a speck of dust.

Not long ago, through repeated duels with You Wu, Tiancheng Guang successfully obtained this card; afterward, he assumed there was no way to "charge" it, and could only hope for the Philosopher's Stone or You Li suddenly appearing before him. Yet, over a month passed, Tiancheng Guang gradually noticed a change.

This card wasn't, as he imagined, obtainable only by dueling the "Four Vegetables."

Since acquiring this card, Tiancheng Guang had gradually realized:

As long as he used "Fusion" in any duel, this card would slowly draw a fraction of energy from Super Fusion!

The original effect of the 【Fusion】 card was the most effective.

This growth was extremely weak and slow, but it was guaranteed—every time he used Fusion, it increased.

So the question arose—Tiancheng Guang almost always used 【Fusion】, since he had so few cards. One day, he used only cards like Sudden Mutation and Ancient Mechanical Hound in a duel, without using any Fusion Magic Cards—and only then did he realize its "demand."

But—

Very reasonable!

Fusion Dragon should be powered by Fusion!

Yet precisely because the growth was so slow, increasing only slightly each time, Tiancheng Guang could quantify it with greater "precision."

In numerical terms, the completion level of Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon was currently 32%.

A remarkably high value!

Remember, Tiancheng Guang had only just obtained this card!

If this had been last year, he wouldn't have even filled the base color of Midrash's card in this time!

Tiancheng Guang stroked his chin.

This was likely also a benefit from his improved alchemy.

Tiancheng Guang stretched his limbs.

Next, he would attempt to modify the Dimension Gate and, incidentally, train his spirit power.

Since learning alchemy and gaining Tierra's support, Tiancheng Guang had reduced the frequency and duration of his spirit adaptability training—this was unavoidable, given limited time.

If his spirit adaptability increased by one level, the chance of placing Super Fusion into his deck—the main quest—would grow greater; on the other hand, if Tiancheng Guang successfully modified the Dimension Gate, he would have broken through, in some measure, the Technical Advantage of the Fusion Department over the Integration Department—though ordinary students would still find his Dimension Gate unusable.

After tinkering for two days, just as Fengguang Company had transferred funds to the school to expand the Fusion Department, Serena found Tiancheng Guang.

"Master! Dimension Exploration!"

Serena enthusiastically pounded on the department head's door, the sound booming as if she meant to shatter it.

Huh?

Tiancheng Guang set down his book, The Book of Emerald.

Oh—

It was time.

The first Dimension Travel opportunity for first-year academy top students.
