Interstellar Spell Carder - Chapter 22
C22— Magical Runes Cards
Posted on April 1, 2022by UntamedS
He Yishu was really startled when he opened the store for the first time. It seemed that he had had good luck recently. He Yishu sorted out the order, then he first made the normal cards, and then counted the types and quantity of customised rune cards. The total number of each level was 40.
That night, He Yishu no longer needed a part-time job. He went directly to his apartment to make the Rune cards. For others, it may take months to make so many Rune cards. After all, it took a lot of energy and time to make a single rune card.
However, He Yishu’s situation was completely different. He hardly used mental force when making runes, and it wasn’t difficult for him to draw Rune patterns. After all, he didn’t need to completely copy the original Rune patterns of the world, he only needed to move closer to the direction of Chinese characters according to the approximate proportion.
So it only took him one night to complete all these orders. The next morning, he bought some breakfast and took the completed runes to Adrian’s apartment.
The specifications of student apartments in the first college were completely unified, as were those in the second year. Therefore, when He Yishu sat on the living room sofa in Adrian’s apartment, he felt it was no different from staying in his apartment.
“This is the custom cards. Please send them by address.” He Yishu put down the breakfast he had brought, and then took the box specially used to hold the rune cards out of the bag.
Adrian nodded and directly handed it over to the robot, then he and He Yishu started eating.
He Yishu held up his chopsticks and glanced at the robot that dutifully mailed the rune cards. He silently lamented that it was good to be a rich man, but he was about to step into the ranks of rich people, he felt very happy when he thought about ithat
When they finished breakfast, the robot had also successfully completed the mailing task. He Yishu thought about it and began to discuss business with Adrian: “Adrian, I think we should take the rare route and not sell too many such runes. After all, rare things are more expensive. Once there are more things, they will be worthless. What do you think?”
“Your idea is right, but the current situation is that only you can make such a rune card. Even if you make a thousand runes a day, it will take others more than 10 days to make one Rune card, so you don’t need to think about this problem at all now,” Adrian thought for a moment, “What I’m more worried about now is the problem of imitation and reproduction. After all, as long as anyone buys a rune card, they can find out what the lines on the rune card are. It shouldn’t be difficult to imitate.”
He Yishu’s eyes flashed slightly, the corners of his mouth lifted, “In this case, it’s really not difficult to achieve shape similarity, but there’s still a long way to go in the future, and some things are difficult to imitate. All my ideas haven’t been completely taken out.”
The depth of Chinese characters couldn’t be easily understood by these interstellar people who knew nothing about Chinese characters. Even if they could imitate nine times out of ten in shape, they wouldn’t be able to appreciate the deep inside information and the difference between horizontal, vertical, skimming and pressing. This was the most attractive and difficult parts of Chinese characters.
After hearing this, Adrian’s gaze became more profound. The other’s previous actions had completely exceeded his expectations, which shocked him. However, he didn’t expect that he had more ideas.
Thinking about this, Adrian had a sense of satisfaction that he had accidentally dug up a huge treasure, and at the same time, he also felt a greater sense of responsibility. He thought about it and said to He Yishu with a solemn expression: “Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
“I’m relieved to have your protection,” He Yishu nodded with a smile and brought the topic back to the previous question. “In this case, I plan to provide a limited number of 20 runes with effects across two levels every day. There are no restrictions on the types, first come, first served. What do you think?”
“Yes, but won’t you be too tired?” Adrian hadn’t seen He Yishu make Rune cards so he was naturally worried about it.
He Yishu raised his eyebrows with a little pride: “I’m very powerful. I made the 40 Rune cards I sent last night. Aren’t I very powerful?”
This answer shocked Adrian once again. He could produce so many high-quality runes with cross level effects in one night. This ability was too powerful!
He Yishu raised his chin slightly and was even more proud: “So 20 runes are a piece of cake for me. I don’t need to spend much energy at all.”
He Yishu rarely showed such an expression. He looked a little cute. This feeling dissipated the shock in his heart: “So there’s no problem.”
He Yishu immediately hung the announcement on the store, then took out two rune cards, “These are the two more token cards I made after I completed the order last night. I think they should be good and can be kept for our own use.”
Since He Yishu said it was good, the effect of the rune card must be very good. Adrian put the two runes into the Rune card detector in the apartment, but once again he was startled by the test results.
Card level: Level D
Rune card function: Intermediate defense
Card making difficulty: Level D
Rune grade: intermediate Rune
Type of symbol pen: ordinary symbol pen
Character completion: 1.53%
Mental power injection level: F-level
Rune effect level: A +
Card Quality: Rare
Card special attributes:
Attribute 1: [primary] increased ageing, the use time of the rune card is increased to twice the normal state.
Attribute 2: [primary] Mental power improvement, that is, in the process of making runes, it can permanently improve the maker’s mental power by a small amount.
Looking at the data item by item, Adrian’s eyes were full of shock. It was only a D-level Rune card that had achieved the effect of A +. What was more terrible was that its quality was rare, it had never appeared before!
And what was the matter with this inexplicably extra special attribute of the cards!
Although the explanation given by the test results seemed very clear, the existence of this kind of thing itself was already very unscientific, okay! He had never seen this information in the test results of any Rune card! Absolutely never!
For the first time in Adrian’s world, he was dumbfounded. After a long time, Adrian suppressed this emotion and turned to look at He Yishu.
When he saw He Yishu’s expression, his affected mood was finally comforted, because at this moment, the maker of this Rune card also had a stunned expression.
He Yishu totally didn’t expect that the rune card he made would have special attributes, and they were awesome special attributes. In the interstellar background, it was incredible to increase the use time of Rune cards or permanently improve mental power.
So was this situation a coincidence or an inevitable result of some of his actions?
After being completely confused and over excited, He Yishu began to seriously think about this problem.
He carefully recalled the situation when making the rune card. This was the first time he used standard regular script Chinese characters to make the rune card, and his original intention was to reveal to Adrian and let the see his ability.
Unexpectedly, it brought such an unexpected effect.
Were these two special attributes because of the regular script?
However, he had actually drawn the lines on the rune card infinitely closer to the direction of regular script before, but the test results of the rune card didn’t show any special attributes.
When He Yishu pondered this question, Adrian had put another Rune card into the rune card detector, and soon the detection results appeared on the screen of the detector.
Card level: Level C
Rune card function: strengthen defense in intermediate level
Difficulty in making Rune card: Level C
Rune grade: intermediate Rune
Type of symbol pen: ordinary symbol pen
Character completion: 0.96%
Mental power injection level: F-level
Rune effect level: A +
Rune quality: Rare
Card special attributes:
Attribute 1: [primary] Increased ageing, the number of times the rune card is used is increased to twice the normal state.
Attribute 2: [primary] mental power improvement, that is, in the process of making runes, it can permanently improve the maker’s mental power by a small amount.
For a C-level Rune card, the effect of the rune card also reaches A + level, the quality also reached rare, and also activated two special attributes. The only difference was that there were different special attributes.
One increased the time limit for the use of the cards, and the other increased mental energy.
Looking at the test results, He Yishu suddenly had a surprising idea. His eyes lit up, he directly took out the rune pen and a blank card from his bag.
“Do you want to make a rune card now?” Seeing He Yishu’s action, Adrian was stunned once again. “Do you need me to leave for a while?”
When making runes, many Rune card masters didn’t like people watching. First, they were afraid of being disturbed. Second, they didn’t want their process of making runes to be watched by others, so it wouldn’t be copied.
He Yishu pursed his lips and shook his head.
All his thoughts were on the rune paper in his hand. If his guess was true, he may really go to the peak of his life and marry a Gao Fushuai!
