Although it would definitely be a good thing to be able to hug Senior Luo Qing’s long legs, there was no need for it to develop into a relationship where she knew everything about him.

But if he admitted that Moonlight was really a card he had refined himself, there were other problems.

The more talented a Summoner like Luo Qing was, the more she understood how difficult it was to refine an Epic card. The country’s annual funding in the field of card refinement was astronomical, and the refinement of high-quality cards had always been a hot topic in academia.

Top-of-the-line card refiners used the best labs, top-of-the-line equipment, and sky-high-priced materials. But even the top-of-the-line labs in the country could only guarantee the creation of [Rare] cards when the materials and equipment were in place.

With the abilities and techniques of current-stage Summoners, the creation of Epic cards could only be left to chance. First-rate experimental equipment and expensive rare materials could only increase the probability of delivery to a certain extent, but no matter how much was invested, no one dared to guarantee that an Epic card would be refined.

Now, You Chu did not have any equipment or materials. Refining an Epic card with these conditions was simply a pipe dream.

He could certainly brag like that—

—Back in the day, he could use missile scraps to piece together the original Iron Man battle suit in a dilapidated cave. Today, I, Mr. You, can refine an Epic card from mainstream materials in my grocery room. It won’t be a problem.

… Okay, this was too much bullshit. He didn’t believe it himself.

The key was that there were too many loopholes. As a Summoner, You Chu’s level of card refinement was not even at the beginner level. His professional knowledge was really limited, and Moonlight’s card was indeed not refined by him. Once someone asked, he could not answer at all.

Seeing that You Chu did not answer, Luo Qing continued, “As expected, ‘Light Swordsman—Moonlight’… You didn’t refine this card yourself, but your ‘natal’, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Changsheng’s eyes widened.

‘What? Natal?’

The so-called natal soul referred to the spell spirit born from the heart of the Summoner. For example, the “Vengeful Beast, Ossum” summoned by the leader just now was his natal spell spirit.

How to nurture the natal spell spirit had always been a hot topic of academic research, but so far, there had been limited research progress because refining the natal spell spirit had always been very idealistic.

According to current research, only a very small number of Summoners had the talent to nurture their natal spell spirits, and most of them were Dark Summoners whose minds were corrupted and distorted.

Although there was no scientific basis for it for the time being, it seemed that most of the natal spell spirits were born from negative emotions such as anger and greed.

The birth of such a natal spell spirit would cause the Summoner to sink deeper and deeper into negative emotions until he was completely beyond redemption.

A Summoner who could nurture a normal natal spell spirit without being negatively affected by the spell spirit was already an extremely rare genius.

It was as if he were born with the gift of refining cards.

In Luo Qing’s eyes, You Chu was a super rare species with such talent.

You Chu searched through the memories left behind by his predecessor and quickly found the meaning of the word “Natal Spell Spirit”. His predecessor had also found a simple definition of this concept in the textbooks of some Summoners.

“You mean… Moonlight is my life?”

“Most likely.” Luo Qing began to analyze. “I read a paper specializing in natal spell spirits. The author suggested that emotional changes caused by external stimuli might catalyze the birth of natal spell spirits.

Perhaps because you were captured as a hostage, and the crisis of your life catalyzed the birth of your natal spell spirit…”

You Chu thought this sounded like a reasonable explanation, so he nodded in agreement.

Of course, he knew that was not the case. After all, he had just drawn Moonlight from the system’s cheat.

But it didn’t matter.

From now on, Moonlight would be his life.

“Not only did he summon his natal spell spirit, but it’s also an ‘Epic’ spell spirit…”

Luo Qing looked at You Chu more and more like she was sizing up a treasure that had just been unearthed.

“Speaking of which,” she said, “I’d like to invite you to study at our school. I wonder if you’d be interested?”

As Luo Qing finished speaking, before You Chu could speak, the members of the Public Security Team had already looked over in surprise.

Jiangdu Summoner University?

The top Summoner High School in the country?

Students who could enter a Summoner High School were all destined to become Summoners. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were already considered favored by the gods.

And entering a top school could be said to be on the fast track of life.

Of course, one could not envy such things.

Everyone had yet to recover from the shock of You Chu’s Epic spell spirit card. Now that they heard Luo Qing’s invitation, they felt that it was only right.

“My mentor has always had a relevant research direction on natal spell spirits,” Luo Qing said. “Your situation is special. As long as I inform him beforehand, he should be happy to recruit you to our laboratory.”

You Chu straightened.

It sounded like… he was going to go through the back door using Senior’s influence?

‘There’s such a good thing?’

“And if you enroll this year,” Luo Qing said thoughtfully, “this year, the Student Union will approve an application for a new project that involves a scholarship. If you come, I might be able to find a way to help you get a place in the school’s enrolment.
