[Pyramid of Light], Miss Flat Chest

"So, I need to change my approach a little."

After returning to his little shop from the university, Gu Xin changed clothes and went straight into the laboratory.

He looked at the wall lined with all kinds of alchemy materials and calmed himself down.

"In that case, I'll choose all Light-attribute materials. Good thing I bought plenty of crystal cores back then."

Grumbling to himself, Gu Xin took down two materials.

"[Light Element] + [Dawn Butterfly], and also..."

They were still a second-rank Light Element crystal core and a second-rank Dawn Butterfly corpse, both Light-attribute.

Then Gu Xin turned his gaze to the [Holy Griffin Feather]. According to Professor Luo Fei, the fourth-rank material [Holy Griffin Feather] was too high-level for him at the moment.

But without the [Holy Griffin Feather], the main materials would clearly be insufficient, and he did not have any third-rank Light-attribute materials here.

"Maybe the Fine-grade condition is too high?"

Gu Xin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took down one Holy Griffin feather.

He reached out and tore off some of the delicate feather's barbs.

Almost instantly, the feather's faint white glow dimmed considerably.

The Holy Griffin Feather, originally Fine-grade, became Crude-grade.

With that single tear, both the collectible value and alchemical value of the Holy Griffin Feather plummeted.

"This should work."

Gu Xin was not entirely sure either, but inspiration was flooding through his mind. He would not be satisfied if he did not give it a try.

Looking at the three materials, Gu Xin pondered for a while. He always felt that something was still missing.

His gaze swept repeatedly across the shelves. After thinking for a long time, he took down another brocade box.

"Add a portion of [Dusk Sand]!"

The four materials were tossed into the Alchemy Furnace, and Gu Xin nodded in satisfaction.

Furnace! Activate!

Beep beep beep!

Gu Xin continuously poured magic power into the Alchemy Furnace, imagining the appearance of the card in his mind.

Time passed second by second. The only thing glowing in the entire laboratory was the faint white light within the Alchemy Furnace.

About an hour and a half later.

A card glowing faintly gold slid out from the Alchemy Furnace's card slot.

"Heh heh heh heh, hahahahahaha!!"

Gu Xin wiped away his sweat in exhaustion. He picked up the card, and once he saw its effect, he could no longer suppress the wild joy in his heart and burst into laughter.

He had succeeded!

[Pyramid of Light]

[Category: Magic Card · Field]

[Quality: Third-Rank Gold Card]

[Attribute: Light]

[Effect: Beneath the radiance of light, darkness has nowhere to hide. Light will guide us forward, and we shall all achieve "eternal life"!]

[(Note: That day, all of us became light, yeah!)]

What the hell was that messy effect description?

Gu Xin froze. As the creator of [Pyramid of Light], he could roughly guess its effects.

But even so, he was still startled by this card's effects.

Once [Pyramid of Light] was activated, dark creatures within its range would generally be directly suppressed and destroyed by the intense light. Even powerful ones would be weakened.

It was clearly a field magic card, yet it came with a large-scale AOE group damage effect that never stopped.

Moreover, Light-attribute creatures within the Pyramid of Light would receive an incredibly exaggerated boost.

Just how exaggerated was it? One only had to look at the words "eternal life" in the effect description to imagine it.

Although this card had rather strict attribute restrictions, since it only worked on Light-attribute creatures, that did not diminish its power.

And while it did have attribute requirements, it could still be used in battles against dark creatures.

"Tsk, Gold Cards are already this powerful. I don't even dare imagine how strong higher-rank Mythical Cards must be."

Gu Xin put away [Pyramid of Light]. Perfect. He was going into a secret realm with Wang Quan tomorrow.

A secret realm inhabited by demon creatures called for extra caution.

[Pyramid of Light] could serve as a trump card. If even [Baron Nashor] could not handle them, he would slap this card down and blast them to death!

Although it was only a second-rank secret realm, Gu Xin remained very cautious.

"Now that the field is done, I'm still missing one..."

Thinking of this, Gu Xin looked at his material shelves with some difficulty.

In his plan, since he could not directly create a Giant of Light, he would have to take a technical shortcut.

He would use a method like "sacrifice" or "advancement" to create the Giant of Light.

But unlike [Pyramid of Light], the other card was the real challenge.

"Theoretically speaking, using magical beasts as materials makes it almost impossible to create humanoid cards."

Gu Xin frowned, unsure how to begin.

He still had Light-attribute materials. There were four Holy Griffin Feathers left, as well as two Light-attribute crystal cores.

But he truly lacked the other material. No, rather than lacking it, it was something Gu Xin had no way of obtaining.

That was, "humans"!

"I wonder if demi-humans would work. But the demi-human races don't seem to have any Light-attribute professionals... right?"

Gu Xin absentmindedly spun the card in his hand as his mind raced.

The feeling of having an idea but being constrained by reality made him involuntarily irritable.

"Demi-humans. I need to get some demi-humans for experiments."

Gu Xin took a deep breath and suppressed the frustration in his heart. He was very good at managing his emotions.

Using innocent humans to make cards was taboo. Gu Xin did not want to become that kind of degenerate.

Then the demi-humans would just have to suffer a little. He had to find a way to get some.

After changing clothes and leaving the laboratory, Gu Xin had originally planned to try making some other cards after completing [Pyramid of Light].

After all, his luck seemed pretty good today. [Pyramid of Light] had succeeded on the first try.

But he was not in the mood now.

"Hmm?"

When Gu Xin entered the shop and saw two girls sitting on the sofa, he froze.

"Boss!"

When they saw Gu Xin come out, the two girls stood and greeted him.

"Miss Yin, and this is?"

Gu Xin immediately recognized the girl on the left as Yin Xue, the little rich girl who had come yesterday. As for the one on the right...

"Hehe~ Boss, do you remember me? We've met before." Tang Yueyue smiled brightly.

She looked somewhat familiar, but he could not recall her name for the moment.

Feeling the expectant look in the girl's eyes, Gu Xin rubbed his nose. His gaze traveled down from her delicate face.

She wore a fitted white camisole that showed off her slender, soft, fair waist, which was dazzling to look at. Below, she wore blue denim shorts.

Good lord, those legs were white, round, and long.

Wait.

Gu Xin's gaze settled on the girl's chest, on that pitiful curve.

"I remember now. The flat-chested miss who loves cola!"

"???"
