The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 37 The First Card (Please subscribe! Please vote!)

Moran summoned the Book of Cards and looked at the card slots on the cover.

Within the groove, soft white light continued to surge slowly, and faint Chinese characters appeared on the nearly solidified square card.

Moran paused for a moment when she saw the familiar characters.

It was easy to understand after a little thought: the card was formed according to her thoughts and ideas, so it was not surprising that it turned into the characters she was most familiar with.

Carefully examine the characters above.

—【Expected Feature 2: Guidance on improving personal skills.】 (Completion rate less than 1%)

—【Current Challenge 1: Severe shortage of card production capacity. Recommendation ******】

—【Current Challenge 2: Unclear classification and grading of abilities. Recommendation ******】

When Moran saw the words "card-making energy is severely insufficient," he understood.

The energy isn't enough yet; the card isn't fully formed!

Looking at the completion rate, "Expected Function 1" is okay at 60%, but "Expected Function 2" is surprisingly "less than 1%".

In other words, the magic that almost drained her before had virtually no effect on "Expected Function 2".

Do you want to replenish your magic?

Without even thinking about it, I gave up immediately.

With her current magical abilities, it's practically impossible for her to complete "Expected Function 2".

However, there is still some hope for "Expected Feature 1".

It's better to be conservative when assembling cards for the first time.

Rather than replenishing an unknown amount of energy, it's better to reduce anticipated functions that exceed our capabilities.

Moran simply removed the planned feature of "guiding the improvement of one's own abilities".

The next moment, the information about her personally disappeared from the card, leaving only the content related to the Book of Cards.

{Unnamed 2}
[Cards already developed: 0]

[Cards under development: 1]

【Stored Energy:*】

[Card Production History: Unnamed Card 2, Unnamed Card 1]

[Card Design: Can be Created]

[Card Slot: Unnamed Card 2]

—【Estimated mana consumption: ***】

—【Expected Appearance: None】

—【Expected Function: A guide to developing new card games.】 (90% Complete)

—【Current Challenge 1: Slightly insufficient card production energy. It is recommended to replenish card production energy, reduce the expected card functions, or set a limit on card functions.】

—【Current Challenge 2: Unclear Magic Power Leveling. It is recommended to supplement relevant knowledge and refine the magic power leveling that needs to be presented on the cards.】

"Looks like I made the right choice!" It's only a little bit away from successfully condensing.

Moran channeled a wisp of magic and carefully poured it into the card's slot.

As soon as the magical tendrils touched the groove, Moran felt a strong suction force. A wisp of magic turned into a large amount of magic, and she immediately lost control again, completely unable to control herself.

Fortunately, it only lasted for 1 second, and the suction disappeared, probably because the card-making energy was sufficient.

Otherwise she might faint again.

It seems she needs to be careful and try not to condense cards beyond her capabilities. The card information has also changed; the functionality completion rate has increased to 95%, and the only remaining difficulty is "unclear magic power transformation level".

Regarding the quantification and classification of magic, Moran only knows that the unit of magic is mana, which is the highest level of energy on the continent of Valen, also known as primordial energy.

The ranks of extraordinary beings across the entire continent of Valen are determined by their magical power.

Other forms of energy, such as witch magic, are also converted into an equivalent mass of magic power for calculation.

Those with less than 100 Mana are considered trainees.

100 Mana or more, less than 500 Mana is considered beginner level.

500 Mana and above, less than 1000 Mana is considered intermediate;
1000 Mana and above, less than 5000 Mana is considered advanced.

5000 Mana and above, with less than 10000 Mana being the peak.

Those with over 10000 Mana are considered to be at the very peak.

This knowledge alone doesn't seem to be enough; Moran still doesn't know exactly how much 1 Mana magic power is.

It's too late; it wouldn't be appropriate to bother my senior any longer.

Moran was really curious and wanted to find out right now, so she suddenly had a bright idea and shouted into the air, "Dean?"

Last night, the dean was able to discover in time that they were making honey bread and juice, so she should be able to hear her calling now.

"Dean, are you there? I have an important question I'd like to ask you. Could you please answer it for me?"

……

The dormitory was silent. Just when Moran thought the dean wouldn't answer her, a familiar voice reached her ears.

"After all these years of teaching, you're the first person to ask me about a guardian clone as if it were a teacher."

"A guardian clone?" Moran keenly noticed the key point.

"I'll only answer one question. Are you sure you want to ask this?"

"No, no, no!" Moran quickly suppressed his curiosity: "I want to know exactly how much magic power 1 Mana has. It's related to whether I can successfully condense my first card using the Book of Cards. Dean, you must help me!"

"To turn the developing paper bright red, it requires 1 Mana or the equivalent of 1 Mana of magical power."

Moran immediately understood: "Thank you, Dean! I understand!"

She looked at the card slot; the functionality was finally 100% complete.

The estimated mana consumption is no longer vague.

The card is only missing a name to be fully formed.

This card was meant to help her develop the Book of Cards. With a thought, Moran transformed {Unnamed Card 2} into {The Book of Cards}.

The card in the slot had also solidified completely; it was a card with white text and black characters.

{Book of Cards}
[Cards already developed: 1]

[Cards under development: 0]

Energy stored: 0

[Card Production History: The Book of Cards, Untitled Card 1]

[Card Design: Can be Created]

[Card Slot: Empty]

Moran took the card out of the slot.

It's an extremely simple card, with black Song typeface on the front.

The rest of the room is blank, without any patterns or decorations.

It looks like a piece of white cardstock with a few words printed on it.

It just feels a bit more solid to the touch.

It's really too simple.

It seems the card design needs to be improved, otherwise the cards look terrible.

Thanks to the planetary memory of Blue Star, Moran has countless design patterns and painting styles to refer to.

Ten minutes later, she drew a design sketch.

Then I put the {Book of Cards} back into the card slot, ready to rework it.

[Card Slot: Book of Cards]

—{Book of Cards}
—【Estimated consumption: 1149/1200 Mana】

—【Expected Appearance: Appearance Template 1】

—【Expected Function: A guide to developing new card games.】 (100% Complete)

……

With a little more magic added, the card was complete.
