Chapter 32
At this moment, Mana was like a young girl in love; compared to a normal human girl, it could be said that there was absolutely no difference.
……
The next day, Lu Li, who had slept beautifully, felt that his consumed spiritual power had completely recovered, so he threw himself into the core evolution conception of the Digimon Magic Card again. Unfortunately, the key breakthrough was not so easy to find; Lu Li felt that he was just lacking a trace of inspiration now.
As time passed, there were basically no big problems with the background and setting conception of the Eye of Timaos, and Lu Li also stopped the simulated construction of the Digital world and changed his target to perform the final perfection of the Eye of Timaos.
However, this time, just as Lu Li started the simulated construction for the Eye of Timaos, he was interrupted by Mana's call: "Master, Chairman Yu is here."
"Chairman Yu?" Hearing Mana's words, Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, knowing that the Dragon Eyes he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
It was just that there was one point Lu Li hadn't expected: Yu Haojia, the chairman of the Cangling City Magic Card Association, would come to deliver the goods personally; he had originally thought that the other party would just arrange for his subordinates to deliver them.
Tidying up the things in his hand, Lu Li tidied himself up slightly and soon came downstairs to meet Yu Haojia.
"Lu Li, you don't mind an old man like me coming over so early, do you?" Seeing Lu Li, a smile appeared on Yu Haojia's face.
It must be said that Lu Li's performance in the past few times was very excellent, leaving Yu Haojia with a very good impression.
"Not at all, Chairman Yu." Not knowing Yu Haojia's evaluation of him in his heart, Lu Li also replied with a smile and then led the other party into the door.
Inside the house, Mana had already prepared tea; having such a sensible and well-behaved Magic Card sprite to handle these small details was undoubtedly a very comforting thing.
"Let's get down to business first, lest you get anxious." The host and guest sat down, and Yu Haojia didn't talk much nonsense; he raised his hand and waved, and a pair of Dragon Eyes emitting a cyan-blue luster floated in front of him.
Like the reverse scale of the Undying Flame Prison Dragon he bought on the trading system back then, just as it appeared, Lu Li and the Dark Magician Girl both felt the violent oppressive force contained in this pair of Dragon Eyes.
Even, this oppressive force was a bit stronger than the reverse scale of the Undying Flame Prison Dragon! The most direct explanation for this is that the owner of these Dragon Eyes before death was even stronger than the Undying Flame Prison Dragon!
"The materials from the whole body of a Dragon-type beast are very precious, but the most important ones are the Dragon Heart, the reverse scale, and the Dragon Eyes."
"If the Dragon Heart is the source of the Dragon-type's power and the reverse scale is the Dragon-type's fatal point, then the Dragon Eyes are the Dragon-type's means of suppressing other races." Yu Haojia's voice rang out again, and with his speech, the oppressive force in the air slowly dissipated.
But in reality, this was just Yu Haojia mobilizing his own magic power to further seal the pressure of the Dragon Eyes, limiting all this pressure within a specific range so that it would no longer leak out at will.
"The Dragon Eyes contain immense Dragon Might; as long as one is stared at by the Dragon Eyes, one will be suppressed by the Dragon Might." Dragon Might is a deterrent naturally carried by Dragon-types; this deterrent does not need to be deliberately released by the Dragon-type; as long as one is stared at by the Dragon Eyes, the Dragon Might will naturally descend upon the enemy.
"This is also why, when fighting with Dragon-types, one will always be suppressed by Dragon Might, and one's combat power will also be weakened to a certain extent..."
"This pair of Dragon Eyes is one of the materials obtained when the guild killed a seven-star Epic-level Dragon-type beast, the Heavenly Azure Dragon, while exploring a dimensional plane some years ago, and it is also the last material left by that Heavenly Azure Dragon back then." Under Yu Haojia's control, the Heavenly Azure Dragon's Dragon Eyes slowly flew toward the direction where Lu Li was and finally fell into his hands: "I hope you can make good use of this pair of Dragon Eyes."
"I will." With the Dragon Eyes in hand, Lu Li still felt faint warmth, and of course, that omnipresent pressure. Clearly, in terms of preserving high-level materials, the Magic Card Association indeed possesses special means; the last time with the reverse scale of the Undying Flame Prison Dragon was like this, and this time with the Heavenly Azure Dragon's Dragon Eyes was also like this.
The most important material for the Eye of Timaos was in hand; now he only needed to wait for the simulated construction to complete the final perfection and make the Magic Card, and then his existing combat power would be able to be further improved.
"Besides this, this is a personal gift to you." After Lu Li accepted the Heavenly Azure Dragon's Dragon Eyes, Yu Haojia flicked his finger, and a storage card landed in Lu Li's hand again: "Don't refuse; just treat it as my investment in you."
"In Magic Card civilization, many young and potential Magic Card masters will receive various kinds of investments."
"The more investments received, the more it proves a Magic Card master's talent and ability."
"Correspondingly, the higher the achievements the invested Magic Card master obtains in the future, the greater the return the investor gets; this is complementary." Just like after the general exam ended back then, Cang Fenghua and Zhou Rong both increased Lu Li's original rewards; that was also a disguised form of investment.
"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite with you, Chairman Yu." Since Yu Haojia had said so much, Lu Li naturally had no need to be polite with the other party.
Although he hadn't checked the things inside the storage Magic Card, coming from the hand of a Sovereign, Lu Li didn't think it would be bad.
"There is one last thing," seeing Lu Li accept the storage Magic Card, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Yu Haojia's eyes, and he spoke again: "In a few days, it will be the Magic Card Association's Youth Training Competition; I hope you can represent our Cangling City to participate."
……
Kneeling and begging for a subscription!.
58. Once Bitten, Twice Shy
"Youth Training Competition?" Lu Li was stunned for a moment.
He had roughly guessed the meaning of these three words; after all, there were all kinds of youth training competitions in his previous life, but he didn't expect that Magic Card civilization also had so-called youth training competitions.
This youth training competition, could it be a five-on-five black game? This strange idea flashed through Lu Li's mind.
"The Youth Training Competition is held every year; it is actually a competition involving new members who have just joined the Magic Card Association in Cangdu and its twelve subordinate cities; it can also be said to be a newcomer confrontation competition for the entire Cangdu Magic Card Association."
Seeing Lu Li stunned, Yu Haojia thought the other party didn't understand what the Youth Training Competition meant and explained: "Every branch will send several newcomers to participate, and the strength of the participating contestants is mostly in the War General Realm. Of course, the final winner in the Youth Training Competition can get very generous rewards."
What Yu Haojia was summoned to Cangdu for some time ago was actually to discuss the Youth Training Competition. Originally, he didn't hold much hope for the Youth Training Competition; after all, Cangling City had always only achieved a mid-range ranking in the Youth Training Competition.
But this time is different; Lu Li's appearance made him see the hope of hitting a higher ranking!
"Besides this, the results of the Youth Training Competition also relate to the resource allocation obtained by each association in the coming year; the higher the ranking of the association, the richer the resources allocated in the coming year."
"Therefore, if we can obtain a higher ranking in the Youth Training Competition, it will be a good thing for both you and the Cangling City Magic Card Association." This is the main reason why Yu Haojia hopes Lu Li can represent Cangling City to participate in the Youth Training Competition.
Yu Haojia had already read through the information of all the newcomers participating in Cangling City this time; although he already had a premonition, if they participated with the list reported by Miao Ruoling, the final result would not be much different from the past.
In order to change this result, there must be a game-breaker representing Cangling City to participate in the Youth Training Competition. In Yu Haojia's view, Lu Li is the key to breaking the game.
"Sounds quite interesting." Lu Li didn't refuse Yu Haojia; the other party had indeed given him quite a bit of help during this period, especially if the other party hadn't exceptionally admitted him as a member of the Magic Card Association, Lu Li wasn't sure he could have produced the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon so quickly.
Not to mention that right now, the other party also provided the most important materials for making the Eye of Timaos; although Cang Fenghua paid for it, is this a problem that money can solve?
"I really didn't misjudge you." Getting Lu Li's reply, Yu Haojia showed a bright smile; this is also why he didn't confirm the list immediately yesterday.
And Lu Li's choice indeed didn't disappoint him.
……
【Once, the Dark King Dartz, who possessed the power to control Orichalcos, attempted to erode the Duel Spirit World.】
【In the battle against Dartz, the three Legendary Dragons descended, leading the Duel Spirits to fight against this Dark King together.】
【Timaos, Critias, Hermos; these are the true names of the three Legendary Dragons recorded in history.】
【In the long battle, the three Legendary Dragons successfully defeated the Dark King Dartz, but they did not have enough power to kill the other party, so they finally had to choose to seal and exile the Dark King.】
【Sealing and exiling the Dark King Dartz, Timaos left behind the Dragon Eyes, Critias left behind the Dragon Teeth, and Hermos left behind the Dragon Claws, waiting for the predestined person to awaken them and fight against the darkness of the future again.】
Inside the house, Lu Li cleared his thoughts again, emptied his mind, and started making the Magic Card for the Eye of Timaos.
However, unlike in the past when there was only the Dark Magician Girl, this time Chairman Yu Haojia was also present.
In the previous conversation, Yu Haojia had already learned that if it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Azure Dragon's Dragon Eyes were only brought over now, Lu Li might have already started making new Magic Cards.
This means that the other party had already perfected the background and settings of the new Magic Card in a very short time, and from the other party's tone, Yu Haojia also heard one hundred percent certainty; he was even startled by this.
And because of this, Yu Haojia thickened his face and stayed behind; he wanted to see to what extent the combat power of the new Magic Card Lu Li would make using the Heavenly Azure Dragon's Dragon Eyes could reach.
He came to Lu Li's house personally to deliver goods; what was it for? Wasn't it just to get first-hand news? Wasn't it to see the production process of an original Magic Card up close?
He had already missed it once during the general exam; if he missed it again, he wouldn't know when the next time would be.
Regarding this, Lu Li agreed after thinking slightly; Yu Haojia had exceptionally admitted him and personally delivered goods, which was enough to show his sincerity and importance toward him. Just wanting to watch him make cards from the side didn't actually have much impact.
After all, as long as he didn't reveal the background and settings of the Magic Card, let alone just a Sovereign, even if Immortal and Undying Realm Magic Card masters came, they would have no way to obtain more card-making information.
Not to mention, the Eye of Timaos is still an original Magic Card; without the support of the Yu-Gi-Oh world view, it would be absolutely impossible to make it.
This is also the fundamental reason why Lu Li agreed to Yu Haojia.
【By leveraging the Dragon Eyes left by Timaos, the holder can summon a projection of the Legendary Dragon Timaos to fight in coordination.】
【The Legendary Dragon projection that descends through the Eye of Timaos possesses the special ability to transform into the summoner's power, thereby stimulating the hope known as a miracle.】
The Legendary Dragon is a Magic Card sprite based on the Yu-Gi-Oh world view, and coupled with the deeds of fighting against the Dark King, both its identity and status are very special.
As the final description fell, Lu Li's spiritual power remained in a relatively stable state, without any big ups and downs.
After all, he had been consuming spiritual power at high intensity every day for simulated construction during this period; after doing this a lot, he got used to it.
【Magic Card background passed; please perfect the card art and add materials!】
Inside the Magic Card editor, the card art for the Eye of Timaos gradually emerged from nothing; the green dragon body looked full of endless dominance, but the most eye-catching part of the whole Magic Card was the pair of Dragon Eyes that seemed to be able to see through all things.
Even without adding materials for coloring, the Dragon Eyes of the Legendary Dragon Timaos looked full of oppressive force.
"Sure enough, the Dragon Eyes are the essence of the Eye of Timaos." Seeing this, even Lu Li couldn't help but sigh; his original idea was not wrong.
According to this situation, if he makes the Fang of Critias and the Claw of Hermos in the future, Dragon Teeth and Dragon Claws will also be essential items.
But fortunately, compared to the three big items of Dragon Eyes, Dragon Heart, and reverse scale, the quantity of Dragon Teeth and Dragon Claws is relatively larger, and the materials are also easier to find.
While Lu Li was sighing, the whole card-making process changed again.
Just like when he made the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon back then, after the card art of the Eye of Timaos appeared, waves of dragon roars echoed in Lu Li's ears and gradually spread throughout the whole house.
"Dragon Roar!"
Not only did Lu Li hear the dragon roar, but Yu Haojia and Mana also heard the dragon roar.
However, when the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon was made back then, Mana had already witnessed such a situation once, so she wasn't too excited, but waved her hand to set up a barrier in the room.
She was very clear about what kind of anomalies would appear in her master's card-making process.
This matter, once bitten, twice shy; just get used to it..
59. What the Hell Kind of Magic Card Is This?
Compared to the Dark Magician Girl, Yu Haojia didn't appear so calm, but rather appeared a bit excited.
The appearance of the dragon roar meant that the background, settings, and card art of the Dragon-type Magic Card Lu Li was making right now had all been recognized; what needed to be done next was just to finish coloring the Magic Card, and then it would be a complete card.
From the moment he started making the card until now, Yu Haojia had seen Lu Li's whole card-making process.
Even he, a Sovereign, had to admit that Lu Li's card-making was full of a special aesthetic and composure, which was something ordinary Magic Card masters did not possess.
