“Did I draw the lines wrong?”

Lu Ming felt odd.

He especially visited and browsed through discussion forums for the Sorcerer vocation to seek more knowledge. He then exited the forums quietly.

This was how things were.

Warlock Spirit Summon was a basic technique of a Sorcerer. Although it was niche, it was very useful. However, its practicability did not apply to its usage during a fight!

Instead…

It referred to its assistance!

Sorcerers possessed many items of experimentation. The little solider could help them carry these items or run errands. Naturally, it was very popular.

Actually, if one were to think about it, this was normal.

With the same rate of energy depletion, this item could be sustained for a longer time. How could its power be compared to the other abilities which had a one-time energy eruption?

Hence, this little soldier was eventually degraded to an assistant.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

Having Xiaobai was enough for him. Why did he need another assistant?!

What he needed was a warrior!

One that could toughen up!

Not this kind of firm and bouncy jelly candy!

“It seems like I have to choose something else.”

Lu Ming frowned.

Buzz—

He poked at the little soldier in front of him.

His hand rebounded.

Tsk…

Its elasticity is not bad.

It was both elastic and soft as if it was made out of silicon. Was there any use for this kind of fighter? Wait… Wow… In his past life, this type of material was typically used for…

“Ss!”

Lu Ming gasped a breath of cold air.

He took a closer look at the little soldier in front of him. He then realized what he had summoned.

Fine.

Xiaopang had a blow-up doll. He would summon the entity itself!

To hell with it!!!

“Warlock Spirit Summon…”

The more Lu Ming thought about it, there more he felt that something was amiss. He returned to the Sorcerer forum to fish for more details. After browsing for a while, he really discovered some modified versions of Warlock Spirit Summon.

A Naked Patch MOD…

Amorous Nurse MOD…

Gentle Glowing Bosoms MOD…

They deserved to be single!

Lu Ming was infuriated.

This was a decent and serious ability but why had it become so sexualised in these people’s hands?

He looked at the little soldier before him.

The little soldier raised the long spear in a silly manner, seemingly warning the enemy.

Sigh.

Lu Ming sighed. Unknowingly, he actually felt his heart ached a little. Did this guy know that he had been dressed in female clothing, had his gender changed and even started running naked in other people’s abilities?

“I’ll look at the time.”

Lu Ming waited.

After about ten minutes, the little soldier dissipated into energy.

“Only ten minutes?”

Lu Ming was a little surprised. He then searched the forums. True enough, he saw the legendary ‘Time Delay Motor Strengthening MOD’.

Hahahaha. He completely could not understand it.

“This won’t do.”

Lu Ming clutched his head.

Energy…

Requirement…

Perhaps he could give it a try?

An idea suddenly came to his mind.

Yes.

The fighting ability of the little soldier was too weak. It could only be an assistant. But what if he carried out the Lightning Integration? He remembered that the energy requirement would increase along with the card integration?

If he could infuse more energy, wouldn’t the little soldier become stronger?

“I’ll try it.”

Lu Ming’s interest was piqued.

He drew two Warlock Spirit Summons and discovered a slight change in the lines upon integrating them.

Well…

Since the energy requirement had increased, would the quality?

Lu Ming licked his lips.

The little soldier that he summoned this time should be powerful enough.

He very much looked forward to it.

Shush!

He tried to create this Integration Card. After summoning it, his face suddenly stiffened. This was because two little soldiers had appeared before him!

Two weak chickens!

Fine.

Only the quantity had increased. Where were the powerful soldiers?

“There are seven cards, right.”

Lu Ming sighed.

He integrated seven Warlock Spirit Summon Cards and filled up the Lighting Original Card. The card transformed again.

“Come on!”

A brand new set of lines appeared.

Lu Ming tried to create it but discovered that he had summoned seven little soldiers at one time.

Hehe.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

“What if I integrate another seven cards…”

He integrated seven new cards immediately, only to discover that the card integrated this time could summon one hundred little soldiers at one time!

The entire shop was crowded!

In addition, many brimmed out and appeared on the streets, frightening passersby. Lu Ming could only dissipate all of them. He then poked the remaining one and only one…

It was still firm and bouncy.

Lu Ming’s expression was cold.

Damn!

Were you bullying me?

Why do I need one hundred blue and gloomy little soldiers?

Seven little soldiers corresponded to seven bulls of the Bulls Card.

One hundred little soldiers corresponded to one hundred bulls of the Demolition Card.

It was very precise!

It was very symmetrical!

Look, Lu Ming even thought of the names for these cards. If the Warlock Spirit Summon could summon one soldier, subsequently, it would be a squad, a platoon, a company, a battalion, and a regiment…

Crap!

Was he shooting a movie?

My Chief and My Regiment? (My Chief and My Regiment is a highly popular 2009 Chinese TV series produced by Huayi Brothers Media Group.)

Lu Ming was suffering an emotional meltdown.

Initially, according to his thoughts, a huge troop of soldiers would appear after the integration of the seven cards. The more integration there was, the more powerful it would be. This was the most logical method!

He wanted quality and not quantity!

Give up?

He felt somewhat indignant.

He would try integrating again.

Lu Ming sighed.

Since he had already reached this stage, he would not waste too many resources. Hence, he integrated the new cards seven times again!

Fusion!

A new card emerged!

Afterward…

Lu Ming was taken aback.

This was because he saw a horrifying scene – In the card, that familiar burial mound and the broken flag that had been on it for ages appeared!!!

Lu Ming broke out in a sweat.

Why did this thing appear here?

Did he use the wrong card?

He took a closer look to confirm that he had used the Warlock Spirit Summon and not the Demolition Card. Why did two different series of cards…

Have the same card face appear on them?

Lu Ming was lost.

Did I dig your ancestral grave?

Do you have to appear on my card face every now and then?!

However…

After taking a closer look, the symbol on the flag was a little different?

There was a difference in the number of balls on them?

Lu Ming lamented listlessly.

It was just that… When he turned the Original Card to look at the back of it, he was instantly stunned.

Although the drawings on the card face were similar, the lines on the back of the two cards were completely different. The techniques used and the difficulty level were completely different.

“This card…”

Lu Ming glanced at it and was a little surprised.

This was because it actually required three thousand points of energy!

Had there been degeneration in the quality of the Integration Card?

No.

Lu Ming felt the texture of the lines at the back of the Original Card. He could clearly feel that this was still a top-notch three-star card! It was still very powerful!

Why did it require three thousand points of energy?

“This is…”

Lu Ming took a detailed look at the lines and his eyes suddenly widened.

What did he see?

Optimization!

In normal circumstances, along with the increase in the difficulty level of the drawing and the complexity of the lines, many lines would intersect in a convoluted way. Coupled with the usage of various kinds of techniques at different difficulty levels, it was very easy to make mistakes on the lines. At such times, one would need a technique called Optimization!

To simplify the algorithm!

To simplify the lines!

This was what ‘optimizing’ the lines meant!

Through optimization of the lines, the requirement would become lower and the effectiveness greater!

The lines on the Burial Mound Card were too complicated and he could not understand them at all. However, after optimizing the lines, the lines on this card became very organized.

“I will learn them!”

“I have to learn them!”

This was Lu Ming’s first reaction.

No matter whether the card was useful, given its Optimization technique, he had to learn them!

What was the concept of the Optimization technique?

Four-star and above!

It was not because the Optimization technique was difficult to learn but because only four-star and above Card Creators needed it! After all, one, two and three-star Cards were shabby and nothing would come out of it after Optimization. It was different for higher-level cards. The Optimization degree would affect the power of the card directly!

It was extremely appalling!

But now…

Lu Ming had only come into contact with the Optimization technique that ‘reduced the requirements’!

It actually reduced the energy requirement of a three-star card from ten thousand to three thousand points. This was enough to prove how powerful the Optimization technique was!

There was a reduction of seventy percent!

This was the legendary and divine Optimization!
