Spell cards are one of the three major categories along with summoning cards and scene cards. Their usefulness is self-evident. The biggest advantage of spell cards is that they can be accessed at any time.
However, compared to summoning cards that can be used continuously, spell cards also have a huge flaw in that they disappear after use.
However, another advantage of spell cards is that they can be crafted repeatedly. In addition to the higher material requirements for the first crafting, the level of materials required for subsequent repeated crafting can be said to be much cheaper.
For example, the first spell card requires purple-level materials, while the second one may only require blue-level materials.
The only shortcoming is that [Whispers of Cthulhu] cannot be reproduced, because [Whispers of Cthulhu] is based on the foundation of [Primordial Gas] and was not completely created by Li Ming.
But that's it.
As the poster girl in the Cthulhu mythology, Cthulhu has mastered countless spells, and also has various abilities such as sensory distortion, body deformation, and tentacle blessing.
With the trinity of Dagon, Hydra, and Innsmouth, frontal combat effectiveness is no longer lacking. What Li Ming needs is more self-protection or auxiliary.
Doesn’t this give yourself a lot of room for maneuver?
After making a plan for the next step, Li Ming put away the purple-quality material card [Seven Senses of Disorder] and began to think about where to get these materials.
Li Ming was not in a hurry. Anyway, the Shoggoths still had a long way to go before becoming a star. He should arrange the main palace Xiuji properly first, and then consider using spell cards to strengthen his purple card system.
Well, that's it.
Several students who were affected by Hydra were still lying on the ground slowly recovering their mental strength. Fortunately, they had been prepared. Otherwise, who would have been able to withstand Li Ming's sudden San Iron Fist as soon as he came up?
As for Teacher Lin, he had initially recovered his sanity after Bai Yuexin's treatment, but with his middle-class character, he didn't say much, and even shouted "Li Ming is awesome" in return.
"By the way, Teacher Lin, Brother Li solved that mud monster. Can we get the mission reward?"
Wu Zhongsheng glanced at Li Ming, who was collecting the materials. He saw that all the credit was attributed to Li Ming, and it was not easy for him to grab it. He could only think of ways to take advantage of the teacher.
Teacher Lin took a sip of the recovery medicine he carried with him, and then shook his head: "...If nothing else, there should be. After all, this is a team task."
Okay, just have this sentence.
The others nodded with satisfaction, then took a look at the remaining densely marked points, then mounted their flying mounts and headed to their previous areas.
Li Ming stretched himself. To be honest, he supported three purple cards and one blue card at the same time to fight with all his strength. After this operation, his mental power was really on the verge of exhaustion.
Anyway, after dealing with this big monster, it's time to go back and rest.
"Teacher Lin, I'll go back first." Li Ming mounted the Shantak Bird and waved to Teacher Lin.
Teacher Lin nodded slightly: "Well, pay attention to safety when you go back."
"Um."
After saying that, the Shantak bird set off a gust of air like a strong wind and disappeared in the distance.
Then
I took a taxi in a deserted place.
On the way home, Li Ming called Principal Chen.
Since there are rewards for canceling team tasks, can I take advantage of the opportunity to make a fool of myself?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be embarrassing if I couldn’t use the allocated rewards.
"Hey, Li Ming, what's wrong?" Principal Chen's voice was still so kind.
"Um, Principal Chen, I want to ask about that mud boss in the eastern suburbs. What reward will you get after you get rid of it?"
"After all, it's a purple-level one, so the reward should be pretty good, right?"
Hearing the sound, Principal Chen fell into a brief silence, which made Li Ming think that the mobile phone signal was not good.
After nearly half a minute, Principal Chen tentatively asked: "Purple level boss?"
"Yeah." Li Ming replied calmly.
"Uh..." Principal Chen was silent for a while, seemingly lost in thought, "Oh, oh, I remembered, there is a reward."
Listening to Principal Chen's strange reaction, Li Ming couldn't help but curse.
Damn it, if I didn’t mention this person, I would have forgotten about it, and I might have long thought that no one can beat that boss.
"Oh, in that case, can I customize it? After all, you know, the materials I need are quite special."
"Okay." In Li Ming's impression, Principal Chen's answers were always so straightforward and straightforward.
Li Ming briefly sorted out the types of his needs, and Principal Chen patiently listened to every word of Li Ming.
It wasn't until he was about to hang up the phone that Principal Chen finally warned: "By the way, remember to be careful in your actions recently. There is a new cult that has emerged recently. It may have something to do with the Ensul Blood Brotherhood. Maybe they will follow you."
Fuck you."
Li Ming, who was just about to hang up the phone, was startled and couldn't help but complain.
Alas, this world is really dangerous. These cults are like weeds that cannot be burned away by wildfire. They pop up in large numbers in the blink of an eye.
"This matter is quite complicated, but you haven't graduated yet, so you don't need to know too much," Principal Chen said earnestly, "Recently, Teacher Ruan Zhou has also been investigating the cult."
"Ah? Teacher Ruan is still investigating cults?" Li Ming seemed to have heard that Ruan Zhou was a member of the Investigators Association who was responsible for investigating cults, but he always thought that it was all in the past.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have any evidence, and that others were highly respected in the Xingzhu City Card Makers Association, Li Ming would have wanted to report it to him personally.
Afterwards, Principal Chen made even more shocking remarks.
"You underestimate Teacher Ruan a little too much. Teacher Ruan was responsible for the destruction of many cults in Xingzhu City back then. It's just that he keeps a low profile and is reluctant to mention these things."
Li Ming: "..."
Why does it always feel...so weird?
After hanging up the phone, Li Ming got out of the car, closed the door, and sighed.
I always feel like something is wrong, and I can't put my finger on it.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, go back to school to sign in, and then go home.
Li Ming was thinking this, but as soon as he walked to the school gate, he saw someone waiting there.
He also had a... paper map in his hand?
After hearing Li Ming's footsteps, his ears twitched slightly, then he put away the map and looked at Li Ming.
The two looked at each other, and then heard the man's deep voice: "Are you from No. 1 Middle School?"
"Then..." Li Ming looked around and saw no one around, "Maybe?"
"Oh, classmate, how to get to the principal's office and teachers' building?"
"Over there," Li Ming pointed toward a building in the distance, "The principal's office is on the top floor of the teachers' building."
"Okay, thank you classmate, what's your name? I'll write you a banner then."
"Yes, Chen Jingping."
After saying that, he signed in at the door and left the place without looking back.
After Li Ming left, the man's phone rang.
"Ah? Oh..."
"I have just arrived at Xingzhu No. 1 Middle School, and I haven't seen Ruan Zhouren yet."
