You Chu took the bag home. Before he could open it, Luo Qing called.

“Did you receive the items?” Luo Qing asked directly.

“I just received it and haven’t had time to open it yet,” You Chu asked. “What’s in the package?”

“It’s the card creating formula that I said I would help you find yesterday. This is a more popular card creating formula among the new students in our school. There are materials attached to the package,” Luo Qing said. “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just some basic materials.

I still have something on, so familiarize yourself with the formula first. If I hurry, I should be able to finish it tomorrow. I’ll find time to teach you then.”

Luo Qing was quite concerned about the Junior she had found this time.

Firstly, it was because with You Chu’s conditions, she believed that the higher ups from the various universities would definitely be willing to fight for it. She was fighting for high-quality students for her mentor and laboratory in advance.

Secondly, ever since she became a disciple of her mentor, she had almost become her mentor’s personal secretary. Her mentor left all matters to her to handle, be it big or small. With just a word from her mentor, her secretary would run away. In just a year after entering school, she had already become the laboratory’s number one worker.

When the mission got busy, it was common to stay up all night.She felt like she was about to break down.

Therefore, Luo Qing had long been planning to find a new tool to share her burden.

If she could successfully pull You Chu to the laboratory, this junior she had personally recruited would definitely be under her.

In that case, wouldn’t it be wonderful to hand over the work and errands arranged by the mentor to Little Junior in the future?

Of course, she wouldn’t treat Junior badly. Since he was hers, she would definitely take responsibility.

You Chu did not know what she was thinking. He only felt that his Senior’s long legs were too easy to hug. They were fragrant and soft.

Luo Qing seemed to be a little busy. After giving a few simple instructions, she quickly hung up and said that she would contact him again soon.

You Chu returned to his room and opened the package. Soon, he saw the formula sent by Luo Qing.

The materials needed for the formula were also sent over with the package. The materials were divided into portions in transparent bags, each containing the hair of an unknown creature, pale golden dust, small ink-colored beads, and so on.

It wasn’t that You Chu’s predecessor hadn’t tried refining cards before. His predecessor had also saved money to buy some cheap materials in the past and tried to refine cards with some public basic formulas online, but so far, every attempt had failed.

That was also the main reason why his predecessor had yet to break through to become a Summoner.

Moreover, the formulas released online were usually cards of the lowest quality, and the refinement difficulty was also entry-level. Even those could not be successfully refined. It could only be said that his predecessor was indeed not very talented in card creating.

The path of a Summoner really depended on talent. Some things were indeed difficult to make up for with effort.

This was just like the cultivation techniques in fantasy novels. Some people were talented enough to understand it, but some people were useless and could not find the right way.

When people were forced into a corner, they could do anything, except refine cards.

Therefore, You Chu was not confident that he could learn the formula given by Luo Qing.

Surprisingly, as soon as he touched the formula, a notification popped up in front of him.

“Identifying the card creating formula requires 40 potential points.”

Do you want to use Potential Points to learn?”

At the same time, it was accompanied by the Yes and No buttons.

You Chu’s eyelids twitched.

‘So the system is that powerful? And the Recipe Package functions?’

He hadn’t had time to open this game of Amway, his lifelong friend, before the electrocution, so he wasn’t sure about the mechanics or settings. But he’d already guessed the purpose of the potential points mentioned here.

Cards were refined by Summoners according to the card creating formula, but the higher the quality, the harder it was to refine.

Logically speaking, high-level formulas could only be mastered by Summoners with the most rich experience and top-notch skills. However, with the game system as a learning function, You Chu could theoretically master any level of card creating formula in a second. He was a true super genius!

… Provided that the potential points were in place.

It could be imagined that the higher the level of the card creating formula, the more potential points needed to learn it. In the future, if he wanted to rely on the system to help him master top-notch formulas, the potential points needed might also be astronomical.

But no matter what, as long as the latent energy was in place, this was a rather awesome cheat.

You Chu instantly perked up. Earlier today, he was still complaining that the game system didn’t have anything except paywalls. But now, he only had one thing to say to the System:

The sparrow pecked the heifer—the sparrow eats the cow!

Then the problem now was the acquisition of this “Potential Point”.

There was a note under the “Yes” button in front of You Chu’s eyes. It showed “Potential Points Remaining: 0”.

Although it was clearly written as 0, You Chu could not help but press the “Yes” button.

As expected, a bright red warning quickly popped up. “Potential points remaining: 0. Unable to learn. Please head to the mall to recharge.”

You Chu was a little depressed.

Of course, he had studied this function after this infuriating game had informed him that the charging system was operating normally. Unfortunately, although the system was operating normally, it was basically a decoration. He couldn’t really charge it.

At the very least, there was no hope before the major online payment platforms in his previous life expanded their business in the other world.

However, there was always a way out. You Chu clicked on the plus sign after “Potential Points: 0”. The system actually gave him another way to obtain Potential Points other than spending money.

[Reputation Points: 981]

“Description: Reputation points can be obtained through the achievements of the player in the game. Reputation points can be exchanged for potential points in a 10:1 ratio.”

There were many settings in online games for reputation points, but this “acquired through achievements” was too vague. You Chu did not even understand where his 981 reputation points came from.

However, the source of income for reputation points also seemed to be recorded. You Chu immediately opened the record and took a look.

Reputation+21. Source: Mo Shiyu.

Reputation+18. Source: You Xiangyang.

Mom and Dad can contribute Reputation too?

You Chu continued to scroll forward and found that there were a dozen similar records from all kinds of people. There were records from Senior Luo Qing, Captain Shao Changsheng from the previous Ops team, and many names that he didn’t know.

You Chu checked the source list and the exact time of each reputation point. With a thought, he seemed to have guessed how it came about.

First, he summoned Light Swordsman Moonlight at the scene of the ceremony. He broke free from the cage and killed the leader, saving all the hostages present at the critical moment. The thugs, hostages, and even the leader himself contributed a wave of reputation points to You Chu.

After they were brought out by the security team, they explained what had happened in the church during the deposition. The audience present contributed another wave of reputation points.

Later on, Luo Qing intervened and saw that his ‘Bright Swordsman Moonlight’ was an Epic spell spirit card. She also deduced that his spell spirit was an extremely rare natal spell spirit nurtured from the heart of a Summoner. It shocked the crowd again, and his reputation continued to rise.

Moreover, he discovered that his reputation points would actually increase from time to time. For example, when he was staring at the interface, his reputation points had jumped from 981 to 1,002.

It was probably because some of the members of the Security Bureau who had participated in the previous raid or the hostages who had been rescued had mentioned You Chu to others after they returned. They had unknowingly continued to provide him with new reputation points.

In other words, as long as You Chu could continuously achieve astonishing achievements and even break the understanding of others, he could continue to obtain reputation points.

Then, the reputation points earned could be exchanged for potential points, which could be used to quickly learn the card creating formula.

Therefore, it seemed that the path of wretched development would not work. If he did not maintain a high profile, he would not have any reputation points. Without reputation points, he would not have any potential. Without potential, he could not become stronger…

You Chu shook his head.

Life was really not easy. A low-key person like him actually had to rely on acting tough to become stronger…

After some thought, You Chu directly converted the reputation points that had just risen to 1,000 into potential points.

[Reputation Points: 2]

[Potential Points: 100]

You Chu picked up the card creating formula again and chose the [Learn] button.

[Potential Points: 60]

With the consumption of 40 potential points, he grasped the operation steps and insights recorded in the formula in the blink of an eye.

A second ago, he was still at a loss as to what to do with this bag of messy materials. At this moment, he felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened. The knowledge instantly poured out like a river.

You Chu immediately picked up the materials and formula and went to his card making room.

Although it was called a card refining room, it was actually just a provision room at home. In order to learn how to refine cards, You Chu’s predecessor had specially cleaned out the provision room and bought some second-hand card creating equipment at a low price. Although it was a little simple, it could still be used.

You Chu activated the precious Card Refining Device that he had bought at a low price. The machine started with a rumble like a miniature boiler.

According to the formula steps that the system had already imprinted in his mind, he skillfully typed in the code input parameters. A simple card refining array was quickly outputted on the refining dish of the card making machine. The pale blue fluorescent light flowed along the patterns of the array like liquid.

This was just preparation work.

Next, You Chu carefully followed the formula. First, he spread the pale golden powder called “Arcane Dust” evenly in the bag, added “Ritual Devil’s Hair”, sealed the dish, and released the spiritual power of the Summoner to stimulate the material to react. Five minutes later, he added “Dark-Attribute Pearl”…

The mental strength of a Summoner was the only energy that could activate the card-creating process. At least, with the current technology, no other energy could be replaced.

Moreover, the output of mental strength during the refinement process also needed to be adjusted according to the actual situation. It was a job that required experience and skill.

Half an hour later, the whole job was finally done.

The reaction was over, all the steps completed, and the bellows-like rumble of the second-hand card refiner gradually died down. The refining dish popped open automatically with a click, and a puff of black smoke was first released from it.

It was done!

You Chu rubbed his hands eagerly.

This was his first time, so he naturally looked forward to what he could refine.

For the first time, a little excitement, a little anticipation, and a little trepidation.

Even if he followed the formula carefully, he was not sure what card he would make in the end.

The card refining formula was the product of the wisdom of generations of Summoners through countless experiments. The seniors often summarized the cards that could be made from the same formula.

Therefore, a formula actually felt like a limited card pool. Future generations would follow the formula and each time they refined it, it was equivalent to drawing a card. They would draw all kinds of possible cards from a certain range.

In addition, the process of creating cards was often accompanied by expensive materials. Therefore, every time a Summoner created a card, it was very exciting.

You Chu held his breath and looked at the refining container that opened automatically after the process.

Moonlight, who was standing at the side, followed suit and stuck her head out like her master.
