In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

"This idea is correct, but it's absolutely forbidden." Lintel immediately shook his head, even raising his arms to make a cross in front of his chest. "I can tell you the result: anyone who tries to forge field cards this way will ultimately become a 'vassal' of their field cards—"

"I won't describe their specific state. If you want to continue the research, I can give you a referral to find out why they are like this."

Lu Mingfei blinked, wisely deciding not to ask why.

"Alright, let's reveal the correct answer—rely on magical spirits." Lintel clapped his hands. "Of course, in essence, this is also what you meant by 'seeking spiritual support,' only it's not about seeking spiritual support from others, but from seeking support from the spirits you created yourself."

"Therefore, there is the so-called 'spell power tendency' because magical spirits with corresponding spell power tend to provide support for a field card that matches their spell power, and only by gathering them together can a field card that produces the corresponding spell power be created."

"This is the 'main reason' that teachers put the venue cards in the upper grades—if newly enrolled students are exposed to this kind of advanced knowledge, they are likely to seek help from their classmates, which will ultimately lead to their failure to refine the knowledge, or even some serious consequences."

"It would be better to seal this knowledge away and just tell students that 'only when the corresponding magical tendencies are put together can a field card be made.' This way, the danger of learning card making can be reduced to a level that teachers can control."

Lu Mingfei nodded in understanding. After all, schools also need to balance supervision costs and teaching difficulties—the teachers at the school are already tired enough, and we can't add more burdens to them for such a small matter.

"Let's get back to what we were talking about earlier, about venue cards." Lintel tapped the table. "But since you've already researched this far, there's nothing more I can teach you—going any deeper is about developing your own personal style. Others' experiences can be used as a reference, but that's all they are for now."

"If you'd like to see, I can show you my deck—specifically, the field card section. What do you think?"

Lu Mingfei agreed to his proposal without any hesitation.

……

Since the purpose was to "showcase," it certainly couldn't be done in the Traveller's Quarter. The two left the Traveller's Quarter and headed towards Linteler's teachers' dormitory—

St. Marian's management of the dormitories was quite lenient; as long as there wasn't a massive explosion or widespread magical contamination, it was essentially none of her business. Based on this, many upperclassmen and teachers modified their dormitories to suit their personalities.

For example, Professor Lindler had some kind of vine climbing all over the walls of the room, making the whole room seem as if it were in a dense forest.

"Alright, just take a look." Lintel gestured for Lu Mingfei to sit down. "Don't copy it verbatim. This kind of thing concerns your soul. Making things arbitrarily will also affect your soul."

"Just get a general feeling... In the name of the stars, manifest!"

【Field Card - Fairy Wilderness】

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, focused his mind, and a spark ignited in his mind—

But all he felt was the change in the air from the stuffy indoor atmosphere to the oxygen-rich air of a dense forest. Trees seemed to rise from all sides, transforming the once spacious interior of the house into a veritable depths of the mountains…

"No, that's not right, this isn't an ordinary forest..." Lu Mingfei raised his hand and summoned magic, spreading out a kind of ionized mottled pattern in the air. "The magic's reaction is much stronger, and even a simple swipe can directly affect the surrounding air."

"To be more precise, my magic is now permeating the surroundings, and your magic is reacting with mine." Lintel materialized from mid-air and sat opposite Lu Mingfei. "This is my home, the woodlands of the Fairy Wilderness—"

"But it's gone now. During the demons' invasion, this place was destroyed by their army. Even if we could find the old site, it would only be traces left by those who indulged in pleasure..."

"This is mainly a collection of 'my' impressions, relying on my longing for my childhood and hometown to provide it with spiritual support, while the other magical spirits, as auxiliary elements, provide overall support. You can use this idea to create your own character."

"...In that case, is it really impossible for me to support the venue card by myself?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.

"No, that's absolutely unacceptable." Lintel immediately made an X again. "Is there any difference between relying on the mental support of others and relying on your own mental support?"

It seems there really is a difference; at least they don't spark any chemistry.

Lu Mingfei stared at his personal information interface, lost in thought.

[Spark: A brilliant light deep within the heart of a traveler; only one in millions may possess this ineffable essence, and among those lucky enough to awaken it, only one in ten million. The Spark has unique properties, varying from person to person.]

When Lu Mingfei was researching the comprehensive network, he also pondered the meaning of the description "the brilliant light deep in the heart". At the time, he only thought it was a hint of "unique properties" - for example, his spark can accelerate learning and enhance his fine perception, while other people's sparks may directly enhance cards or be released directly to participate in battle.

But now, upon closer inspection, perhaps this statement is the true essence of the description?

Seeing the expression on Lu Mingfei's face, Lintel shook his head—he could tell, of course, that Lu Mingfei hadn't listened to him at all. Or perhaps, the title of "Son of the Hero" had also ensnared him, making him genuinely believe that he was different from others in some way.

"Alright, let's not think about that." Lintel thought for a moment, then took a card from his card holder and handed it to Lu Mingfei. "Here, take a look at this—"

"Just think of it as a fun toy, and stop thinking about these things."

Lu Mingfei was somewhat at a loss. After taking the card and saying goodbye to Lintel, he ran back to Traveler's Street.

Elemental crystals, mana reagents, blank magic cards, various miscellaneous materials...

Having used up all his credits, Lu Mingfei returned to his dormitory carrying a large bag. With Lintel's reminder, Lu Mingfei decided to temporarily slow down his research on spell cards and item cards—

"Hmm, let's study these two together with 'weapons'. I'll consider that later after I've accumulated enough experience to switch my major. Now, next topic—"

"First, craft a card with 'green spell power tendency,' then pair it with Pot Spirit and Elder Druid to create a field card. Judging from the description, this deck function is clearly meant to accelerate growth."

"Then of course we'll activate this function first. As for the specific magical tendencies... let's leave that for next week."
