NOVPUBThe cardmaking workshop in Lanci’s dormitory was filled with the active essence of magic fluctuations.
The worktable and the counters along the wall were filled with magic instruments of various sizes, these were the devices and protective enchantment connection devices that Lanci had acquired over time.
Lanci was sitting at a carved special wooden workbench in the center of the cardmaking workshop. Separated trays on a three-tiered cart by the table were filled with consumables like Demon’s Blood, Fire Dragon Scale, and Moonlight Thorns Fruit.
He took out a stack of blank Magic Cards from a small rosewood box. These cards, extraordinarily smooth yet of resilient texture, were designed to carry magic structures.
Of course, they could also be used as raw materials for explosives by Lan’s Heavy Industries.
Lanci raised his left hand and the next second a bottle of dark red Magic Ink was handed over to him.
Regarding the mixing of the ink, the Great Love Poet had already prepared it in perfect unison for him without him having to utter a word, ensuring that he received the optimal ratio he imagined.
Lanci skillfully outlined the base designs of the card damsels. The towering dragon horns and tail, the raging flames, and the characteristics of the demon - he drew every detail, the texture of the scales, the flow of the flames, with meticulous care.
After completing the basics, referencing the fundamental design drawings agreed upon with the Great Love Poet, the central area of the card began to portray the magic text from the excerpt, translation, and modification of [Transformation Technique: Demon], ensuring that the transformation technique magic effects of the card could operate according to the improvement principles.
He proceeded step by step. The Great Love Poet, without needing any words, selected miniature magic bottles from the side according to her own ideas, in collaboration with Lanci, to add the details of material input and spell supplementation.
The clock in the living room ticked by, and the cat boss also swallowed nervously at the door. It was the first time that it had seen Lanci making cards so calmly and smoothly. Usually, there would be several explosions at this time.
This time, it seemed that it wouldn’t be developed into heavy artillery, but was going to be made into a magic card by Lanci.
This kid really knows how to make cards!
The cat boss was utterly astounded.
Not until Lanci’s semi-finished magic card was successfully inscribed with the target Runes, and needed to undergo the steps of reinforcement and Encapsulation, did Lanci apply a pigment made from a mixture of rose petals for reinforcement and dragon’s blood onto the surface of the card, completing the final blending and sealing, once again connecting the spell circuit of the Runes to add the magic barrier to the cards, ensuring that their magic power would not leak and could continually operate.
After an intensive, long period of work,
This Spell Card was finally set in a more stable state, without any signs of exploding.
The picture on the card seemed real and felt like it could leap out anytime!
"Phew, I didn’t expect to succeed this time."
Lanci’s originally focused eyes immediately relaxed, he leaned back in his chair and turned his head to speak to the Great Love Poet.
Just making this one product card made him feel a bit tired.
"I still have to rely on you."
The Great Love Poet tapped Lanci’s shoulder satisfactorily. She was particularly serious this time.
She seemed to have inexhaustible vitality as she picked up one of the magic cards from the table – a card with purple radiance -
[Poet of Great Love Transformation: Dragon Demon]
[Category: Magic Card]
[Grade: Purple Rarity]
[Ranking: 4]
[Effect: Only the Great Love Poet can use it. After use, it can change the race to Dragon Demon and make clothing changes; it will not modify one’s appearance characteristics. After transformation, it greatly increases one’s deterrent temperament. Cooldown time: 24 hours.]
[Notes: All things that cause you harm, you don’t need them; everything that hinders you, you don’t need that either.]
At the next moment, bursts of transparent deep red light burst from the dragon totem on the card, resembling a dragon shadow roaring across the horizon along with its roars, a scorching and vast fire tornado engulfed the Great Love Poet.
Lanci was startled by the flames, which woke him up completely.
Fortunately, the fire tornadoes erupting from the Great Love Poet did not have any real heat or damage.
When the dragon breath died away,
Lanci’s gaze settled back on the Great Love Poet.
He was captivated by the figure of red hair like violent flames.
At this point, a few fiery red dragon scales had appeared on the Great Love Poet’s neck. Her golden beast-like eyes were profound and arrogant. On top of her head, the pair of metallic dragon horns held a texture resembling molten lava.
Her clothing was no longer the crimson dress previously worn, rather it had transformed into a set of exquisite skirt armor with a deep black theme that complemented her red hair.
The armor was adorned with sparse dark red patterns. It featured a circular design in the middle of its chest plate, with a blood-red luminescence as if it were the heart of a dragon, scorching hot and ceaselessly beating. The lower half was a skirt armor made of black fabric and leather connected to the metal. The thorny chain-like waistbelt swayed rhythmically with her stride, appearing lightweight but demonstrating toughness. Whenever she moved in the light, the rose seal on the surface of the skirt would subtly emit a deep red glow.
She emanated an overbearing oppressive sense. Even though it was clear that she was First-order, it gave the feeling of her being a dreadful powerhouse ready to make a move.
"Lanci... Why don’t you bow since you’ve seen the Great Love?"
The Great Love Poet, copying Lanci, looked down at Lanci in the chair and asked.
"...If I wasn’t fully aware that your attributes haven’t changed, I’d actually think you’re a pro." Lanqi said, sizing up the completely revamped Great Love Poet.
Unless someone was very familiar with Talia’s appearance, this kind of skin change wouldn’t allow them to recognize her as the Great Love Poet.
In one corner of the Cardmaking Workshop’s grand entrance, the Cat Boss originally thought that the instability of the card-crafting process made by Lanqi had caused an explosion, scaring it into hiding. But when things calmed down and it peeped out again, it discovered a completely transformed Great Love Poet!
"Are you guys really messing around this much?" the Cat Boss was shocked.
So these two were experimenting with magic card-making for appearance changes!
But that’s not the main point.
The crux of the matter is that, if Lanqi and the Great Love Poet could create such high-quality magic cards—
Owning the Great Love Poet would be equivalent to owning an entire harem!
From this perspective, it seemed like Tata wasn’t as appealing as the Great Love Poet.
No, the Great Love Poet’s personality was also more compatible with Lanqi, and they shared an all-for-one, one-for-all relationship.
No matter how the Cat Boss thought about it, the Great Love Poet seemed to be the perfect woman!
"What exactly are you thinking about, Cat Boss?"
Lanqi helplessly crossed his arms and looked at the Cat Boss, who seemed to be daydreaming about some weird things.
"Are you really not attracted to her at all?"
The Cat Boss ran into the Cardmaking Workshop and jumped on to Lanqi, observing him closely, pressing its ears against Lanqi’s chest to listen to his heartbeat, then asked with confusion.
This kid’s calmness definitely didn’t seem fake.
"Nope," Lanqi replied calmly.
The Cat Boss felt this was baffling. If even the Great Love Poet couldn’t stir his heart, was this boy possibly one of those unconquerable types?
No! Its cherished love stories didn’t require a protagonist whose heart was as clear as crystal and content with the status quo!
"Alright, let’s start making the human card, I’m kind of tired." Lanqi said, picking up the Cat Boss and putting it down.
Upon hearing his words, the little black cat dashed out of the Cardmaking Workshop and sat at the entrance.
And so, Lanqi and the Great Love Poet continued working on their second magic card.
The Great Love Poet seemed quite fond of her new red-haired demon dragon skin.
She decided to keep this appearance while working.
...
Inside the Cardmaking Workshop, time seemed to have been stolen by their focus, unheard-of in each ink drop and every stroke.
Lanqi and the Great Love Poet were fully immersed in the card-making process, their movements precise and perfectly coordinated.
In the corner of the workshop, an old brass clock silently kept time.
Without realising it, it was already 2 in the afternoon.
As they concentrated, daylight became softer, and the trees on the patio gently swayed in the breeze. The golden spots reflecting off the leaves scattered on the workshop floor, like celestial gold dust.
After several mid-process card explosions, Lanqi and the Great Love Poet finally succeeded in creating another transformation card in the afternoon.
It was something neither of them were particularly good at—
