Exclusive sister card, unlimited evolution

This can ensure Lamia's continuous output and, of course, his safety. The lethality of the second summoned creature is secondary.

"Yes, it's in the row on the left, look."

"Speaking of which, can't you scan the code to browse the products here, Manager?"

The pink-haired girl lazily lay back on the old man's chair, rocking the chair and rolling her eyes at Lu Yan:

"I'm just a retail card shop. I don't have a wide variety of cards to browse. I've memorized all the cards in the store."

The two chatted from time to time. After searching for a long time, Lu Yan still couldn't find any cards he liked, so he finally chose to seek help from Jiang Jiu:

"Manager, do you have any good recommendations?"

"Oh, how about this, [Thick Bone Ice]."

Jiang Jiu searched through his mobile phone for a while, picked out a photo and placed it in front of Lu Yan.

The picture showed a skeleton soldier. Unlike the skeletons he had in mind, this monster named [Thick Bone Ice] was human-shaped, but its bones were as thick as those of some ferocious beasts.

The first impression of the skeleton is that it looks "fat". Its strong bones are wrapped in thick blue ice crystals, as if it is wearing a layer of armor.

Its left and right hands are each attached to a huge ice crystal shield and a heavy ice crystal short axe, which looks very safe.

"Do you have a real card? Show it to me."

Jiang Jiu sighed and stood up from the chair, stretched and walked to the backstage, and casually placed the card in front of Lu Yan.

====

Thick Bone Ice's skills are pretty good, with both continuous damage and defensive skills, making it a perfect transition card.

And it's not a sister card. Once he finds a better card, Lu Yan can remove it without any burden and sell it.

"That's it."

Without much hesitation, Lu Yan confirmed its market price through his mobile phone and bought it directly without bargaining.

Time is money. Instead of wasting time on meaningless bargaining, you might as well spend more time cultivating your relationship with Lamia.

After all, if he has a good relationship with the cards, it can really significantly improve his strength.

.

.

After finishing all the things he needed to do, Lu Yan, who was exhausted after a whole day, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Lamia sat by the bed and waited to prevent anyone from launching a surprise attack.

It was already the next day when he woke up. As long as nothing went wrong, today would be the day he would be promoted to a 1-star card master.

Taking out the life fruit from the card box, Lu Yan couldn't wait to put it into his mouth and sat cross-legged.

He raised his five hearts to the sky to absorb energy, and when his soul was filled, his whole body became swollen and painful.

Controlling the energy in his body that was about to explode, Lu Yan pushed it toward the depths of his soul.

A gray card symbolizing the soul appeared in the center. It began to spin at high speed, and the gray mist wrapped around it was gradually neutralized and cleared by energy, making the entire card become more "clean."

This is the difference between non-star card masters and official card masters. Their soul cards appear gray, and both the front and back are blurry.

After becoming a 1-star card master, the fog on the soul card will be cleared, the entire card will emit a faint light, and the pattern on it will become clear.

Lu Yan looked inward and stared at his own soul. A ray of light lit up from the bottom of the card and slowly moved upwards, exactly the same as the phenomenon that occurred when [Mecha Servant No. 0] was upgraded.

The gray was transformed into a faint white light, and the texture of the card became clearer wherever it passed.

Even though it was spinning very fast, Lu Yan was still able to see the specific appearance of his soul card.

Tangled threads covered the entire back, with countless stars scattered in the gaps left by the threads.

Lu Yan himself appeared in front, and a faceless mechanical girl stood beside him.

A thin red line extended from his wrist and connected to Lamia's neck.

When the obscurity of the entire card was completely cleared away, Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of foul air, and a bright and sharp light suddenly emanated from his pupils!

At this point, he completed his transformation and successfully became a 1-star card master.

Stretching out his limbs, his bones made crackling sounds. Lu Yan discovered that in addition to the sublimation of his soul, his body, which had absorbed energy, had also become stronger after being baptized.

However, this baptism is definitely weaker than the attributes provided by [Mecha Servant No. 0]. After all, the card master's sublimation direction is mainly aimed at the soul.

The card slot limit was raised to 2/3. Just as Lu Yan put [Thick Bone Ice] into his soul, someone knocked hard on the door and a familiar voice came from outside.

"Hey! Lu Yan, have you collected all the money?"

These hyenas...

A cold light flashed in his pupils. Lu Yan put away Lamia, opened the door with the card of Hou Gu Bing hidden in his sleeve. The thugs who had come to collect the debt before stood outside the door, still with an arrogant expression on their faces.

Lu Yan, who had money and power, did not indulge him this time. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at him coldly. Before the thugs could react, he asked:

"Did you bring the contract? I've got the money together."

When the thug learned that Lu Yan could pay back the money, his expression showed a little bit of unnaturalness, but he quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and wanted to reach out and pat Lu Yan's shoulder:

"That's great, I don't have to chase you for the debt."

Dodging the thugs' hands and turning on the camera of his mobile phone, Lu Yan recorded all the transactions between himself and the thugs.

After transferring the borrowed 100,000 yuan, the debt relationship was completely ended. He saved the images on the cloud of various software to ensure that the other party could not do anything else secretly.

It is only natural to pay back debts. If the other party is really just a loan shark gang and has no grudge against him, Lu Yan doesn't mind paying back what he owes.

After receiving the 100,000 yuan debt, the thug's face darkened. Lu Yan narrowed his eyes:

"Now that the debt has been paid off, I should have nothing to do with you guys anymore. Could you please leave my house immediately?"

Chapter 10 Numerical Beauty

After driving out the debt collector with ulterior motives, Lu Yan, who became a 1-star card master, drew the curtains to keep the room secret.

He swung his right hand and summoned thick bone ice, and the biting cold air immediately swept through the entire room.

"Ron, guard the room. Report immediately if anything comes."

Lu Yan gave orders to the skeleton. The soul fire in its eye sockets flickered slightly. It nodded and turned around, standing motionless facing the gate.

Pulling out Servant No. 0, Lu Yan took the material card [Type II Mechanical Endoskeleton] at the bottom of the card box and placed it on top of Servant No. 0.

It's time to upgrade Lamia for the second time, but unfortunately she can't complete her evolution.

There are three requirements for the evolution of the Mechanical Girl: a 2-star card master, becoming a 3-star card herself, and having a favorability of 50 points.

The process of Lu Yan helping her upgrade her star level went smoothly, but he himself could not become a 2-star card master in a short period of time, which hindered Lamia's further improvement in combat power.

He clenched his fist and crushed the material card. The powerful energy turned into a light spot and fell into the No. 0 Mecha Servant. As it absorbed the energy, the card was once again wrapped in light.

A burning sensation came from the fingertips. After about three or four minutes, the light dissipated from bottom to top, and Lamia, whose appearance had not changed much from before, reappeared on the card.

Oh, there is still a difference. The maid uniform is more refined than before, and the two guns tied to the legs have been replaced with more powerful firearms.

====

[Mecha Servant No. 0] (Real name: Lamia)

Grade: Bronze

Rating: 3 stars

Favorability: 57

Skills: Household Knowledge, Program Zero, Shooting Mastery, Electric Current Radiation, Strengthening Parts, Protective Instinct

Strengthened parts: With a hard internal skeleton and mechanical parts, the overall attributes are improved.

Master-protecting instinct: When the card master encounters a life-or-death crisis, [Overload Mode] is automatically activated, and the attributes are greatly improved.

After the battle, you will fall into the negative effect [Overload State], which will force you to occupy the card slot until it is fully restored after one day.

Introduction: After killing the team she met on the road, Lamia found the mechanical factory occupied by rebellious machines based on the map carried by the team members.

As a robot, she was naturally not attacked. In the factory, under the guidance of the voice of the card master in her mind, she obtained more and better parts and performed full body maintenance and replacement of her important parts.

Evolutionary requirements: ...

====

Oh my god, the numbers are weird!

This was Lu Yan’s first reaction after seeing the skill.

Passive skill enhancement parts allow Lamia's attributes to be improved comprehensively, and the skill of protecting the master can further enhance the attributes.

No matter what the multiplier is, the card [Mecha Servant Zero] is definitely a numerical monster in the same level. There is no operation or mechanism at all, it is all numerical beauty.

Summoning Lamia, the mechanical maid lifted her skirt and bowed to Lu Yan. The smile on her face was no longer as frightening as before:

"Master, thank you for your help, is there anything you need?"

"Sit next to me and relax."

The girl turned around and sat on the bed. The bed suddenly made a sound as if it could not bear the weight, and the wooden boards and springs inside began to crack.

Only then did Lu Yan remember that the maid in front of him was solid after all, a big lump of iron. If he really let her sit on the bed, the bed would definitely collapse.

"Forget it, let's get up first."

The mechanical girl obeyed the order and stood up. Lu Yan stood up and observed the changed Amiya closely, mainly observing the two guns under the maid's skirt.

Two very cool guns, but it’s a pity that they can’t let Lu Yan use them.

Everything a card summon carries is bound to itself. Even if it is dropped on the ground, no one else can pick it up unless they have the corresponding skills.

If there is no weapon-grabbing skill, whether it is a card master or a summoned creature, touching it will only cause it to disperse into light points and then return to the hands of the binder.

Pulling some distance from Lamia, Lu Yan remembered that she had not resisted him holding her hand in the ruins before, so he asked tentatively:

"Lamiya, can I hold your hand?"

"Of course, please do."

Servant No. 0 raised both hands. He pulled up one of them and kneaded it gently. The touch was exactly the same as that of a human hand. The only difference was probably the temperature and some traces of modification on the skin.

The flowing cooling fluid kept Lamia's body temperature at four or five degrees Celsius. Now that she was not in combat mode, her temperature was very low.

It is already summer now, but Lu Yan doesn't hate her current body temperature. Instead, he feels it is very cool.

As for the signs of transformation, her arms now seem to be able to pop out some weapons.

Watching her master playing with her palm, Lamia tilted her head slightly and said nothing.

Letting go of Lamia, Lu Yan took out the card [Thick Bone Ice] and confirmed its star upgrade conditions again. He found that there was a card area nearby where [Hundred Years of Ice] could be exploded.

"Try it, if it explodes you won't have to buy it."

.

.

"Here's the thing, sir. He paid the money he owed, and I doubt he ever used it."

In a remote small courtyard, the debt collector put the collected money on the table and explained the situation to the burly man in the lead.

The bald, tattooed man said nothing. He finished the cigarette between his fingers and exhaled the smoke with a bellows-like breath.
