n“Did I draw the lines wrong?”

nLu Ming felt odd.

nHe especially visited and browsed through discussion forums for the Sorcerer vocation to seek more knowledge. He then exited the forums quietly.

nThis was how things were.

nWarlock Spirit Summon was a basic technique of a Sorcerer. Although it was niche, it was very useful. However, its practicability did not apply to its usage during a fight!

nInstead…

nIt referred to its assistance!

nSorcerers possessed many items of experimentation. The little solider could help them carry these items or run errands. Naturally, it was very popular.

nActually, if one were to think about it, this was normal.

nWith the same rate of energy depletion, this item could be sustained for a longer time. How could its power be compared to the other abilities which had a one-time energy eruption?

nHence, this little soldier was eventually degraded to an assistant.

nLu Ming was expressionless.

nHaving Xiaobai was enough for him. Why did he need another assistant?!

nWhat he needed was a warrior!

nOne that could toughen up!

nNot this kind of firm and bouncy jelly candy!

n“It seems like I have to choose something else.”

nLu Ming frowned.

nBuzz—

nHe poked at the little soldier in front of him.

nHis hand rebounded.

nTsk…

nIts elasticity is not bad.

nIt was both elastic and soft as if it was made out of silicon. Was there any use for this kind of fighter? Wait… Wow… In his past life, this type of material was typically used for…

n“Ss!”

nLu Ming gasped a breath of cold air.

nHe took a closer look at the little soldier in front of him. He then realized what he had summoned.

nFine.

nXiaopang had a blow-up doll. He would summon the entity itself!

nTo hell with it!!!

n“Warlock Spirit Summon…”

nThe more Lu Ming thought about it, there more he felt that something was amiss. He returned to the Sorcerer forum to fish for more details. After browsing for a while, he really discovered some modified versions of Warlock Spirit Summon.

nA Naked Patch MOD…

nAmorous Nurse MOD…

nGentle Glowing Bosoms MOD…

nThey deserved to be single!

nLu Ming was infuriated.

nThis was a decent and serious ability but why had it become so sexualised in these people’s hands?

nHe looked at the little soldier before him.

nThe little soldier raised the long spear in a silly manner, seemingly warning the enemy.

nSigh.

nLu Ming sighed. Unknowingly, he actually felt his heart ached a little. Did this guy know that he had been dressed in female clothing, had his gender changed and even started running naked in other people’s abilities?

n“I’ll look at the time.”

nLu Ming waited.

nAfter about ten minutes, the little soldier dissipated into energy.

n“Only ten minutes?”

nLu Ming was a little surprised. He then searched the forums. True enough, he saw the legendary ‘Time Delay Motor Strengthening MOD’.

nHahahaha. He completely could not understand it.

n“This won’t do.”

nLu Ming clutched his head.

nEnergy…

nRequirement…

nPerhaps he could give it a try?

nAn idea suddenly came to his mind.

nYes.

nThe fighting ability of the little soldier was too weak. It could only be an assistant. But what if he carried out the Lightning Integration? He remembered that the energy requirement would increase along with the card integration?

nIf he could infuse more energy, wouldn’t the little soldier become stronger?

n“I’ll try it.”

nLu Ming’s interest was piqued.

nHe drew two Warlock Spirit Summons and discovered a slight change in the lines upon integrating them.

nWell…

nSince the energy requirement had increased, would the quality?

nLu Ming licked his lips.

nThe little soldier that he summoned this time should be powerful enough.

nHe very much looked forward to it.

nShush!

nHe tried to create this Integration Card. After summoning it, his face suddenly stiffened. This was because two little soldiers had appeared before him!

nTwo weak chickens!

nFine.

nOnly the quantity had increased. Where were the powerful soldiers?

n“There are seven cards, right.”

nLu Ming sighed.

nHe integrated seven Warlock Spirit Summon Cards and filled up the Lighting Original Card. The card transformed again.

n“Come on!”

nA brand new set of lines appeared.

nLu Ming tried to create it but discovered that he had summoned seven little soldiers at one time.

nHehe.

nLu Ming was expressionless.

n“What if I integrate another seven cards…”

nHe integrated seven new cards immediately, only to discover that the card integrated this time could summon one hundred little soldiers at one time!

nThe entire shop was crowded!

nIn addition, many brimmed out and appeared on the streets, frightening passersby. Lu Ming could only dissipate all of them. He then poked the remaining one and only one…

nIt was still firm and bouncy.

nLu Ming’s expression was cold.

nDamn!

nWere you bullying me?

nWhy do I need one hundred blue and gloomy little soldiers?

nSeven little soldiers corresponded to seven bulls of the Bulls Card.

nOne hundred little soldiers corresponded to one hundred bulls of the Demolition Card.

nIt was very precise!

nIt was very symmetrical!

nLook, Lu Ming even thought of the names for these cards. If the Warlock Spirit Summon could summon one soldier, subsequently, it would be a squad, a platoon, a company, a battalion, and a regiment…

nCrap!

nWas he shooting a movie?

nMy Chief and My Regiment? (My Chief and My Regiment is a highly popular 2009 Chinese TV series produced by Huayi Brothers Media Group.)

nLu Ming was suffering an emotional meltdown.

nInitially, according to his thoughts, a huge troop of soldiers would appear after the integration of the seven cards. The more integration there was, the more powerful it would be. This was the most logical method!

nHe wanted quality and not quantity!

nGive up?

nHe felt somewhat indignant.

nHe would try integrating again.

nLu Ming sighed.

nSince he had already reached this stage, he would not waste too many resources. Hence, he integrated the new cards seven times again!

nFusion!

nA new card emerged!

nAfterward…

nLu Ming was taken aback.

nThis was because he saw a horrifying scene – In the card, that familiar burial mound and the broken flag that had been on it for ages appeared!!!

nLu Ming broke out in a sweat.

nWhy did this thing appear here?

nDid he use the wrong card?

nHe took a closer look to confirm that he had used the Warlock Spirit Summon and not the Demolition Card. Why did two different series of cards…

nHave the same card face appear on them?

nLu Ming was lost.

nDid I dig your ancestral grave?

nDo you have to appear on my card face every now and then?!

nHowever…

nAfter taking a closer look, the symbol on the flag was a little different?

nThere was a difference in the number of balls on them?

nLu Ming lamented listlessly.

nIt was just that… When he turned the Original Card to look at the back of it, he was instantly stunned.

nAlthough the drawings on the card face were similar, the lines on the back of the two cards were completely different. The techniques used and the difficulty level were completely different.

n“This card…”

nLu Ming glanced at it and was a little surprised.

nThis was because it actually required three thousand points of energy!

nHad there been degeneration in the quality of the Integration Card?

nNo.

nLu Ming felt the texture of the lines at the back of the Original Card. He could clearly feel that this was still a top-notch three-star card! It was still very powerful!

nWhy did it require three thousand points of energy?

n“This is…”

nLu Ming took a detailed look at the lines and his eyes suddenly widened.

nWhat did he see?

nOptimization!

nIn normal circumstances, along with the increase in the difficulty level of the drawing and the complexity of the lines, many lines would intersect in a convoluted way. Coupled with the usage of various kinds of techniques at different difficulty levels, it was very easy to make mistakes on the lines. At such times, one would need a technique called Optimization!

nTo simplify the algorithm!

nTo simplify the lines!

nThis was what ‘optimizing’ the lines meant!

nThrough optimization of the lines, the requirement would become lower and the effectiveness greater!

nThe lines on the Burial Mound Card were too complicated and he could not understand them at all. However, after optimizing the lines, the lines on this card became very organized.

n“I will learn them!”

n“I have to learn them!”

nThis was Lu Ming’s first reaction.

nNo matter whether the card was useful, given its Optimization technique, he had to learn them!

nWhat was the concept of the Optimization technique?

nFour-star and above!

nIt was not because the Optimization technique was difficult to learn but because only four-star and above Card Creators needed it! After all, one, two and three-star Cards were shabby and nothing would come out of it after Optimization. It was different for higher-level cards. The Optimization degree would affect the power of the card directly!

nIt was extremely appalling!

nBut now…

nLu Ming had only come into contact with the Optimization technique that ‘reduced the requirements’!

nIt actually reduced the energy requirement of a three-star card from ten thousand to three thousand points. This was enough to prove how powerful the Optimization technique was!

nThere was a reduction of seventy percent!

nThis was the legendary and divine Optimization!
