Chapter 21 - This Card Wants to Go to You (Part 3)
Luo Bai wanted her money.
Is she now going after his body?
Heck, does she also want his card shop?
D*mn, what a cunning woman.
"Sorry, Miss Melon, let's forget it." Luo Bai waved his hand and said coldly, "I have no experience and can't meet your needs."
Sanbai Board and Card Games is a serious card shop!
"It's okay, I'm very skilled!" Melonica became more excited, as if she was worried that he would refuse.
"I can teach you."
"It's not necessary!" Luo Bai sternly refused again, "T- This kind of thing can't be forced. This requires mutual understanding and such a thing just occurs naturally."
"I know..." Melonica whispered, the corner of her lips drooping slightly.
"But we can try it first..."
""
It seems like she still doesn't want to give up.
Faced with her proactiveness, Luo Bai was only at a loss for words.
It's over, he met a female gangster.
"Get out quickly, I'm closing my doors."
"I will die if I go out." Melonica suddenly looked agitated, and she angrily pulled out the small knife hidden in her umbrella handle once more and said furiously, "I might as well die here."
"F*ck!"
Not only is she a female gangster, she's also a psychopath.
"What's going on with you? Do you have to do this?" Luo Bai quickly grabbed her hand and sighed.
Melonica frowned slightly and said: "There's a Silver-ranked Card Hunter waiting in ambush outside. I need a powerful Magic Card."
Thereupon, she took out the
"What I have now is still a playing card, I need to turn this into a Magic Card first."
"I can't even feel angry anymore..."
The latter part of her words didn't properly register in Luo Bai's ears.
After all, when he heard the first part of the sentence, he was already about to be furious.
"Can you finish what you want to say in one go?"
She just wants to refine a card, why the heck does she have to phrase it like that!?
Seeing her looking cute like a stupid child, Luo Bai only felt embarrassed scolding her about it.
"I don't have card-making materials, so that isn't possible."
"I have them." Melonica said as she took out an Extraordinary-rank
She had come prepared.
"I've only got one set..." She said softly. "If I fail here, it's all over."
Both Extraordinary Blank Card and Elemental Bead are quite expensive.
Just taking out such things in front of a stranger, no one with properly functioning common sense would do such a stupid thing.
"Can you help me?"
Melonica pursed her lips and said, her gaze somewhat melancholic, like a stray cat on a thunderstorm night.
There are four necessary factors for card making: Blank Card, Elemental Bead, and Crest are already present, all that's missing is
She couldn't use Qi Sense in this place, and she couldn't imbue the Ba in her body into the Blank Card. She could only place her hope in this "kind" store manager in front of her.
She casted a pleading look on him.
The first
"What should I do?" Luo Bai sighed helplessly.
Luo Bai pondered for a moment, but thinking he'd eventually have to make cards himself, he just thought he could use this opportunity as a practice.
Melonica was overjoyed when she heard this: "I'll provide the materials, you just need to channel your qi, and I'll draw the lines."
He actually understands the basic process but...
"Channel qi... how do I do that?" Luo Bai asked awkwardly.
For a moment, Melonica's smile froze like ice.
It's over, it seems like she met an idiot.
It's like telling someone "Bite candy hard enough to crush it", only to have the other person ask "How do you bite hard enough?".
It's hard for her not to suspect that the other person is a fool.
For Biantana people, "channeling qi" is similar to "exerting force", it's a skill that doesn't need to be taught, a feeling that comes naturally to people.
"D- Do you not know how to feel qi?" Melonica cast a strange look at him, her voice sounding hesitant.
Afraid of hurting his pride... She's acting like she's caring for a mentally-retarded child.
"Why don't we just drop this?" Luo Bai said nonchalantly.
"No!" Melonica interjected, taking a deep breath as if to encourage herself. "Let's just go for it."
Luo Bai: Go for it...
Why does this person speak so strangely?
Before he could complain further, Melonica grabbed his hand and pressing it on the Blank Card, she sternly spoke:
"I'll teach you."
She held his right hand with her right hand.
She's sticking to him very tightly, as if she was embracing him.
Meanwhile, Luo Bai's left hand was hanging in the air, momentarily unsure where to place it.
She didn't seem to understand what ambiguity meant, and her expression was as serious as ever, like a rigid teacher.
"Imagine the feeling of qi like the sensation of pouring water..."
"Could you calm your heart down?
"Why is your heart beating so fast?"
"Settle down already!"
After Melonica finished shouting, she turned her head and suddenly met with Luo Bai's gaze.
Suddenly, half of her face turned red.
Feeling like sparks ran around her body, her little head quickly turned away.
She seemed to finally realize that the position the two of them were in was a bit unusual.
"Cough..." Luo Bai coughed embarrassedly.
It was just to clear his throat, nothing else.
"Go on."
"Hmm." Melonica murmured.
Luo Bai's heartbeat gradually steadied.
On the other hand though, her heartbeat started to beat abnormally.
"T- The feeling of qi is like flowing water..."
"You mobilize the Ba in your body into the palm of your hand, then imagining it as if you're holding a glass of water, you tilt that glass and gently..."
"Pour it in..."
The Blank Card gradually emits light in response, which is a manifestation of qi being poured in progress.
"Ohh..."
Touching the slowly glowing and warming Blank Card, Luo Bai couldn't help feeling surprised and sighing in his heart.
The process isn't difficult at all. As long as one's intelligence is normal and the mind is calm without thinking about random things, it can be completed easily.
"So this is what qi feels like. I have to say, it's quite fun."
"Well, Qi Sense is just the simplest step, there are still the next two steps..." Melonica's face became awkward.
The serious teacher image she had before disappeared.
There are three steps in making a magic card:
"Plak!"
Letting go of Luo Bai's hand, Melonica slapped her cheeks, seemingly to wake herself up.
Then, taking a deep breath, she picked up the DARK Zombie Elemental Bead, and put it into the groove in the center of the Magic Card.
With a pop, the Elemental Bead melted into water vapor, and with the groove as the center, a black air spread on the Blank Card, laying out a layer of
It's to prepare for the birth of the DARK Zombie-type
Melonica grabbed Luo Bai's hand again and placed it on the Blank Card. Warmth could be felt transmitted from her palm, and her mind was filled with wild thoughts again.
She hurriedly shook off those distracting thoughts.
There's no room for any distraction for the next steps.
"Can you sense the
After a pause, she turned her head again with a slight smile on her lips.
"They like fireflies, like starlight, flickering and floating here and there."
"There's a lot of them, very messy." Luo Bai responded with a slight frown.
It really looks like fireflies, floating around the palm of his hand, but whenever his fingertips are about to touch them, they will scatter."
"Hmm, that's why we need a Crest." Melonica smiled.
She is like a little girl looking up at the stars, her eyes full of innocence, and her voice akin to a fairy tale.
"Each Ka has their own unique crest."
"Just like the stars in the sky, some are very bright, and some may be dimmer..."
"Watching them does feel relatively lonely..."
"However, they are all waiting for a pair of hands."
"Expecting us to reach out and touch them, eager to create
She turned her head again, a complete relaxed smile on her lips.
Seeing this, Luo Bai became absent-minded.
