In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Lu Mingfei pondered the name "Next Generation Species".

The next generation represents the second generation of offspring of a certain species—therefore, there will also be first generation offspring, and even 'father' and 'mother'—

"If that's the case, and extracting information from a drop of blood can create a next-generation species, then what level am I at?"

"The first generation? Or the father? And what kind of demon is that?"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but click his tongue just thinking about what was hidden behind this.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei decided to first examine the abilities that this card might come with:

【Dragon Servant - Next Generation】

【✪✪✪】【1000/600/1500】

[Race: Dragon] [Attribute: Psychic] [Special Ability: Deterrence 2, Vigilance]

(Deterrence 2: This unit can only be blocked by 2 or more units)

(Warning: This unit is not affected by ambushes or flanking attacks)

[Ultimate Skill: Word of Power, True Dragon Form]

[Word of Power: Use Word of Power to attack, dealing true damage to the enemy that is unaffected by defense]

[True Dragon Form: Transformation, gain Flight, Trample, Death Touch, and Intimidation 3, and a significant increase in attack power.]

(Death Touch: All attacks by this unit are considered instant-kill attacks)

Looking at the webpage, you might not have a clear idea of ​​what this card is; however, its power becomes very clear from its 'real-world description':

The Vigilance ability ensures it won't be destroyed by concentrated fire in the first round, while Deterrence 2 ensures it can escape from high-damage but weak single cards.

As soon as the second round begins, immediately activate True Dragon form, using Flight, Trample, and Intimidate 3. This allows for a quick escape and clears the board while dealing significant damage to the opponent's player.

It has both numerical data and a sound mechanism.

Even Lu Mingfei felt that giving him this level 3 card was a waste, as the opponent couldn't clear his board without spending five or six energy points.

"But there's a problem—although the webpage says that the Dragon Servant won't submit to other dragons, what if it gets controlled by 'manipulation' spells or magical spirits during battle?" Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and felt that this was very likely.

There's a saying: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen one"—oops, no, it's more like, "Eating from the enemy is like having one bushel of grain equal to twenty bushels." If Lu Mingfei releases it, costing 3 energy, and the opponent then uses a typical control spell card:

Mind manipulation

【✪✪】【Spell】

[This gives you control over a unit]

In this way, the card ends up in the opponent's hand, and now it's up to Lu Mingfei to spend five or six energy points to clear his own field.

It's equivalent to the opponent using 2 energy to exchange for Lu Mingfei's 8 or 9 energy, a huge loss.

"So I need to quickly learn something with the same controllability, like magic, magical spirits, anything—or add another keyword ability to this dragon servant, such as protection, warding off evil, or something like that..."

(Guardian X: When a spell targets a unit with this ability, it requires X energy to take effect; otherwise, it will be countered.)

(Exorcism: Spells cannot target units with that ability.)

After pondering this line of thought for a moment, Lu Mingfei decided to temporarily abandon the idea. With his current card-crafting skills, he couldn't add another keyword, "superpower," to a completed card. As for borrowing spells and item cards…

These two are completely different from the Elf Cards. Lu Mingfei has never studied them during this period. If he really wants to refine them, he either needs to learn the techniques first, or he needs to rely on blank magic cards to increase the success rate.

—But right now, Lu Mingfei has no way to get his own blank magic card. He can't possibly solve a problem that he's only just beginning to see by burning Jessica's blank magic card, can he?

After putting everything back in its place, cleaning up the bloodstains and ink from the workbench, and saying goodbye to Jessica, Lu Mingfei ran back to his room.

After catching his breath in bed, Lu Mingfei raised his hand and summoned the Elder Druid, which appeared in the open space.

It has to be said that she in real life is far more "magnificent" than the image on the magic card. Even from a distance, Lu Mingfei felt as if she were about to touch his face.

—I won't go into what we use to top it, but this is a magical spirit, so it's better to be polite.

Although she is called an "elder," she is far from being someone who should actually be called an uncle or aunt—in Lu Mingfei's perception, she is a little younger than Professor Liz, who "brings her own basketball," and would be considered a "senior" in the academy.

Her attire perfectly matched the stereotypical image of a druid: coarse linen clothes, a grey cloak, and a bark belt loosely tied around her waist, outlining her slender waistline and the downward curve of her waist...

Lu Mingfei patted his head. What's been going on lately?

It seems that after awakening his bloodline template, when he looks at people—especially women—he unconsciously gravitates towards those unspeakable places. Could it be that this bloodline template—the dragon—has some other effect?

Is this what online novels refer to as "dragons are inherently lustful"?

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Lu Mingfei controlled his expression and asked the druid elder:

"Hello? May I ask how I can address you?"

"What do you consider a title, my master? A name is merely a specific anchor that society bestows upon a person among people—but in the vastness of nature, in the wind and the moon, titles are meaningless, because the wilderness has none..."

Lu Mingfei's question seemed to have triggered some kind of switch on the druid elder, who immediately launched into a long sermon, causing Lu Mingfei to narrow his eyes slightly.

Although he did want to listen to the whole thing, the druid elder was a chatterbox—or perhaps she had so few opportunities to talk to people that she would start talking non-stop when she finally met someone willing to chat with her.

Unfortunately, Lu Mingfei was in no mood to chat with the druid. He had a busy day, first learning that there was a time traveler in the Noble Academy, and then making two cards in the afternoon and evening. He was already very tired and only planned to meet the two magical elves, put them into the Mirror of Eternity, and then go to sleep.

So Lu Mingfei took the initiative to reach out and grasp the Druid elder's hand.

"But as a human being, you still have to obey society," Lu Mingfei casually interrupted her long-winded explanation, "So, do you have a name?"

The druid elder suddenly fell silent, only smiling at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei nodded knowingly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll give you a name—Luina, what do you think?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know where he had seen this "Luina" before, but he felt that since it was in the Western-style world of Saint Marian, the name should also be Western in nature.
