Chapter 279 People Are Afraid of Being Famous, Pigs Are Afraid of Being Fat
It took only half a day for the news that "the spirit of the spirit card can be used for fighting" to spread everywhere.
The popularity of this topic far exceeded everyone's expectations, and even people who were not interested in playing cards had to buy a few cards to take a look.
How exaggerated was this matter?
The Dragon Mark Family, which had already negotiated a contract with Carl, sent someone to redraft the relevant matters in the contract.
They hoped to increase the price of the spirit card and increase Carl's share as the inventor.
But Carl refused.
With Udyr as a living example, many rangers in Storm Bay, especially those who worked as beast tamers in the early years, began to collect materials everywhere, trying to cultivate a spirit that met their requirements and was strong enough to serve as an animal companion.
For a time, the monster materials that were originally discarded as scraps in the trash can were actually worth a few copper coins.
If the source of the material had been contaminated by the breath of high-level beasts or monsters not long ago, it could even be sold at a higher price.
"Wow~, I'm a ranger and a mechanic, why did I choose a path that just avoided two professions that can get pets! Brother Carl, I'm so sad~ wow~"
The second night after the popularity of the spirit card was hyped up, Lisanna, who came back from get off work, shed her image of the director of the police department that she had managed to maintain with great difficulty, threw herself on Hope's chest, and complained to Carl.
She cried so sadly, as if a large part of her life was missing out on a great experience.
But how could Carl, who grew up with Lisanna, not hear that Lisanna was crying fake tears?
He could even hear that the rhythm of Lisanna's crying was the ballad used by Vana City to commemorate a half-elf female ranger.
This was what he taught Lisanna.
"Okay, stop crying! I never thought that one day you would use the method I taught you to deal with your parents to deal with me. If you want a pet, you must have at least a spirit card, right?"
Before she finished speaking, Lisanna had already taken out a spirit card from somewhere.
And her eyes stopped shedding tears as if a faucet was shut off.
Hope and Nia were somewhat envious of this gifted ability.
"Great, you are waiting for me here! Let me see the spirit of this card first."
Carl took the card from Lisanna, put it aside, and summoned the spirit in it.
It was a big dog with gray fur, which looked a bit like a wolf, but its appearance made Carl subconsciously feel that this guy was a dog.
"Generally speaking, spirits with great potential often appear as infancy in the early stages of birth, and you..."
Looking at the dog spirit that looked like a husky, Carl was speechless for a while.
"Hehehe, then Brother Carl, please work harder and help me condense a more powerful spirit!"
Lisanna tilted her head and looked at Carl with a sweet smile, holding one side of her face with both hands.
If it were any young man who was just beginning to fall in love, she might be struck by her current appearance and her heart would be beating wildly.
But as someone who has taken care of Lisanna since childhood, Carl is naturally immune to Lisanna's aesthetic aura.
However, as Lisanna's half-brother, Carl finds it difficult to resist the other's sister-like coquettish offensive.
"Don't play this game with me. You have to develop some habits of doing things by yourself. There will always be times when we are not by your side. When that time comes, you may not have so much time to rely on yourself.
Let's do this. Collect the materials by yourself. When you find a spirit that satisfies you, Nia and I will help you complete the final stage."
Although Lisanna is a hunter and cannot have her own animal companion, as a mechanic, she can still have an artificial life form servant.
Carl's idea is to let the spirit in the spirit card serve as the thinking logic core of this artificial life form servant, and then Lisanna will inject it with magic to complete its transformation.
As long as the body designed by Carl can meet the ability requirements of the spirit to a certain extent, it can have good combat effectiveness.
The only downside is that such an artificial servant is similar to a golem, with a complicated production process, and it cannot be stored in the spirit card at any time like the spirit of Udyr Ranger.
However, it still inherits the advantage of not being easy to die, and because of the effect of the infusion ability, the connection between the artificial servant and Lisanna is even closer than the animal companion contract.
"Hey~, Sister Hope, Sister Nia, Ying~, look at him~"
Seeing that Carl was deliberately making things difficult, Lisanna immediately turned the spearhead and tried to let her sisters-in-law settle it.
However, because Ying looked similar to her, Lisanna did not call her Sister Ying.
Carl was a little sick of the deliberately long tail tone, but Hope and the others liked it very much.
This little thing really stimulates the maternal instinct of all female creatures, except her own mother.
Being stared at by four pairs of big watery eyes, Carl was a little bit overwhelmed.
After sitting in his seat and thinking for a while, he said:
"Then I will take a step back. The materials for your spirit card can be obtained by a few of us when we go out hunting. Anyway, I will not let these people in Storm Bay do things for you. Distinguish between public and private matters."
Like an old cadre, Carl pointed out his bottom line.
This is not that he is exaggerating, but if these people can't set an example, Joanna and others who actually do the work will be in trouble.
Today, Carl asked them to help, and tomorrow others may do the same. In the long run, Storm Bay today may become worse than the Storm Council in the past.
"Lie~, I know! Humph! Anyway, you have the ability to support so many wives, so it doesn't matter if I have one more sister, right? Even if you support me all the time, it won't cost you much money!"
Said these words without ambition, and Lisanna unexpectedly received Carl's majestic gaze.
Seeing this, she stuck out her tongue, hid under the double team of Hope and Nia, and even hugged them arrogantly, sending a provocative look to Carl.
"Hey! You little bastard!"
Rolling up his sleeves, Carl took out the style of Lisanna's parents when they taught her a lesson, and cheerful laughter suddenly rang out in the bastion.
…
At the same time, Udyr, the source of the "hot search" of the spirit card, was hiding from pursuit in the dark wilderness.
However, he was not betrayed by those card friends who wanted to kill him to get his cards, but the debt left by his wandering days in the early years came back to him.
This is probably one of the negative effects of "being famous". The enemy can easily find you who was hiding well, and will also set up a killing game against you when you least expect it.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have gone out hunting today. I was thinking of trying my luck and condensing a flying spirit to serve as an animal companion on the road, but I almost became meat on someone's chopping board!"
Holding two revolvers, Udyr dodged the bullets behind him, with undisguised regret on his face.
