Chapter 83: Summoning Spirits (Part 1)
Okay, let's do the math now. I owe a total of 4 chapters of updates, and when I counted yesterday, there were 475 recommendation votes. Even if there are 75 more votes after 400, there are chapters of updates, a total of 6 chapters of extra updates, and these extra updates will be completed before the New Year.
Well, thank you all for waiting for Orange to finish his exams!

Although the way is not very cool, Li Zheng is still very excited about the feeling that the key to open the temple is right in front of him. He took out his only "Forbidden Holy Book" and asked the system: [What to do next? Don't cheat me this time. ]
[Just put the "Forbidden Holy Book" on the altar. Host, when did you have the illusion that I like to cheat you? Haven't I always been helping you? ] The system seemed to want to express a feeling called "innocence", but the flat electronic sound completely failed to meet this requirement, and even if the system's voice was not that kind of electronic sound, Li Zheng would not believe the hypocrisy of this system with a lot of bad water in his belly.
But now none of this matters. The most important thing is to awaken the "Human Spirit Hall". Li Zheng nervously placed the "Forbidden Holy Book" on the altar that almost killed him, and then slowly took a step back.
With the injection of spiritual card energy, the altar began to vibrate. Li Zheng held his breath and concentrated (although he did not have such a thing as "breath"), always paying attention to the changes in the altar.
On the altar, a beam of light shot out from the spiritual card "Forbidden Holy Book", reflecting on the ancient book full of forbidden knowledge on the door of the "Human Spirit Hall". Under the nourishment of this light, the Human Spirit Hall slowly recovered, and gradually became no longer dilapidated and decadent, but filled with a kind of ancient atmosphere, just like this spiritual hall that has been in decline for who knows how many years has gradually regained its vitality.
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and watched all these changes in surprise. Although there was a precedent of "super fusion", Li Zheng was still extremely shocked that a card had such a powerful power. If he hadn't seen the "Human Spirit Hall" slowly revive, he couldn't imagine that an ordinary "Forbidden Holy Book" would cause such a huge momentum.
Li Zheng looked at the "Forbidden Holy Book" on the altar with a complicated look, which was emitting light and heat. However, he saw that the "Forbidden Holy Book" was slowly disappearing! Just like ice and snow slowly melting in the sun.
[What's going on? ] Li Zheng asked the system. He thought that this so-called "ritual" was just to absorb the power of the spirit card, but now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the spirit card itself is being consumed by this ritual!
[Eh? Host, didn't I tell you this before? "Consume" the spirit card to perform the operation of "summoning the spirit" or "awakening the spirit hall", isn't this "consumption" clearly written? 】The system's voice sounded in time, explaining to Li Zheng.
【I don't remember! And you didn't explain that this is "consumption" in this sense. I only have one "Forbidden Holy Book". If I had known earlier, I would have asked Bekas to help make one first...】Li Zheng said with some resentment:【And what about those spirit cards with elves? If you sacrifice them like this, you are killing people... Oh no, killing elves. 】
【Hey, hey, hey, host, have you forgotten again? The so-called "spiritual card" is a card that once hosted a powerful elf but now has lost the elf for various reasons. 】The system controlled the terminal to turn in front of Li Zheng, as if mocking Li Zheng's forgetfulness.【It's not that you can't bring the card with elves here to sacrifice, but doing so consumes too much and the energy obtained is not as good as the "spiritual card". Only a brain-twitch guy would do such a thankless task. 】
【Why? Logically, if there is a lively elf in the card, shouldn't it contain more energy? 】Li Zheng asked in confusion.
Facing Li Zheng's question, the system began to explain: [My host, you can't calculate it this way. If a card that hosts the elf "I I I Girl" contains 1500 units of spiritual energy, then 800 units of spiritual energy belong to the elf "I I I Girl" itself; and a "spiritual card" that once hosted "I I I Girl" but no longer hosts the elf because the elf died or moved or for some other reason will only contain about 900 units of spiritual energy - if the card elf dies, if you are lucky and there is a "corpse" left behind, the energy will be more, but it will never exceed 1500. ]
[Hey, if you look at it this way, the energy contained in the card that hosts the elf is indeed more than that of the spirit card. ] Li Zheng was a little puzzled. Didn't the system's explanation just confirm what he had thought before? [Then you are still doing this thankless? Hey...wait, let me think, do you think the card elf will resist? ]
[That's right, host.] The system controlled the terminal to shake twice in the air, as if it was shaking its head. [If someone wants to kill you as a sacrifice, you will definitely resist, unless you are knocked unconscious by the other party or you have already "fallen" and are willing to be a sacrifice. Just like the "I, I, I Girl" in the example just mentioned, if you dare to use the card that hosts her as a sacrifice in the spirit summoning ritual, she will definitely want to beat you to death. By then, even if you or the summoned spirit subdues her, the spiritual energy consumed will probably exceed what can be obtained in this ritual. Moreover, the spiritual energy generated in this way will probably carry "resentment", just like if you use this method to summon a spirit, then if the summoned spirit does not chase you, it will probably be because you are so handsome that the other party feels it is a pity to kill you. However, in my opinion, host, you do not have such qualifications. 】
【So that's it...】 Li Zheng pinched his chin and nodded, ignoring the last joke of the system. He looked at the slowly disappearing "Forbidden Scripture" with a complicated look, and said to the system: 【It's like, if you want to dismantle the other party's plane to obtain relevant technology, it is more convenient to dismantle a crashed plane without a pilot than a plane with a pilot, right? 】
【You can understand it this way. 】 The system replied, "Boom..." At this time, a sound of opening the door slowly sounded, and the door of the Human Spirit Hall finally opened!
【Let's go, how about we go into the hall and take a look? 】 Li Zheng said to the terminal, and after speaking, he took off from the ground and floated towards the Human Spirit Hall in front...
——————I, I, I, girl (Why do you use me as an experimental subject!)——————
The next day, Becas's eyes were a little better, and his body recovered a lot, and he could walk on the ground. So, according to the previous agreement, Becas brought Hui to his collection room.
Soros, who had just returned from the laboratory, led the way, while Becas and Hui followed him and chatted. The content of the chat was basically about some things, and it was basically Becas who was talking and Hui who was listening.
"...So Soros came back. Since the synchronization and super-quantity plans failed, the research institute has focused its energy on another large-scale plan. Now Yue Xing is leading the team." Becas told Hui these things with a relaxed look. For some reason, facing this "quiet beautiful girl", Becas suddenly felt like talking. He did not hesitate to tell Hui some things that would cause a huge shock to the industry if they were spread out.
Hui listened silently until Bekas finished talking before she asked, "Who is that... Yuexing?"
"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot everything." Bekas smiled slightly, and said with confidence and pride on his face, "Yuexing is one of my adopted sons and the elder brother. Yuexing and Yexing are both geniuses who are no less than Kaiba Seto. What do you think, Hui girl, if you are interested, I can introduce you to each other~"
"No need for this." It can be heard that this is a joke from Bekas. Even Hui, who has always had no expression, smiled slightly at this time, shook her head and refused, and then her hand slowly stroked the beautiful yin-yang fish on her chest.
"Oh~ Is it because of Li Zheng boy? He is really lucky." Bekas laughed, and at this time Soros also stopped, which means that the collection room has arrived.
"Squeak..." Along with the sound of the old mechanism turning, a door opened, and a room with countless precious cards was opened. At this time, Li Zheng in the Yin-Yang Fish felt two unusually close breaths.
[This feeling is a spiritual card! And there are two! ] Li Zheng realized something, but since he is not familiar with the environment of the Yin-Yang Fish, he has to take the initiative to contact Hui to receive information from the outside. Of course, if he can sense the external environment at any time like before, if he knows the conversation between Becas and Hui just now, Hui-chan will not be so tired, right?
