The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 133: The Development of the Great Sin Creature System Begins

Ever since learning that the stone pier in the Lake Pavilion was a switching hub, Dark Demon had always wanted to intentionally experience the feeling of "virtual-real transition."

But sure enough, apart from some slight dizziness from spinning, there was no other sensation.

He patted his exceptionally sore thighs, urging his two legs to move.

"First, the materials needed to create the five universal spells....."

Dark Demon took out his notebook, which already contained a detailed list of materials.

Except for the creation of [Blink Charm], which required a 50-credit blank magic card, the other four spells still only needed 10-credit magic cards.

Moreover, the basic material ratios for these five universal spells were very similar, and many materials could be used interchangeably.

The difficult part was the non-basic portion.

That is, the special "ink" poured into the magic pen to write "magic language."

And the core materials that gave the magic cards their special properties.

According to Dark Demon's estimation, the credits needed to buy all the materials for these five magic cards were roughly:

① Magic Missile Charm: 100 credits

② Push Charm: 200 credits

③ Barrier Charm: 300 credits

④ Fade Charm: 400 credits

⑤ Blink Charm: 1000 credits

Among them, the difficulty of creating [Blink Charm] was clearly more than a level higher than the other four spells.

The materials required to make [Blink Charm] were also very expensive.

Students had to choose suitable magic cards to make based on their credit limits and abilities, and complete them in Monday's Magic Theory class.

Of course, the main purpose of the class was to learn how to imprint the spells onto the magic cards.

As long as they learned this important step, they could then continue to refine other magic cards according to their own needs.

...

Dark Demon had originally wanted to try buying a complete set of materials directly from the "Wayfarer" material shop, but the shop owner told him that the school had specifically instructed them not to sell material packs anymore.

"It seems they want to train the students' ability to identify, collect, and purchase materials."

Dark Demon shook his head and began to run around.

There were quite a few people who, like him, had come to buy materials despite their soreness; he would often run into classmates with the same goal after entering a shop.

But it looked like the students were all short on cash, their faces etched with worry.

Dark Demon glanced at his own credit balance and, also being short on cash, had no choice but to buy only one set of materials for [Blink Charm] and two sets each for the other four spells.

No one could guarantee they would succeed on their first try.

Dark Demon had actually experienced many experimental failures, so buying an extra set was a precaution.

By the time all the materials were ready, the sky was already ablaze with sunset clouds.

Dark Demon returned with bags of all sizes, making the classmates he occasionally encountered extremely envious.

After dinner, Dark Demon, having put the materials back in his dormitory, went to Traveler Street again.

Although Traveler Street was still lively tonight, it was noticeably less crowded than before.

But on second thought, it was normal.

After all, some of the first-years were still lying in their dormitories.

Some students were tied down by homework.

And some students were still obsessed with exploring the secret passages.

The professors' strategy had some effect; the number of people adventuring in the secret passages had decreased.

...

There were more classmates out after dinner than at noon.

But Emma and most of the Magic House girls were still not among them; they had clearly not yet recovered.

Incidentally, Diana was staying obediently in the dormitory to take care of Rose.

Dark Demon was thankful for this.

So much so that he still wore a smile when he met Virt and Robert.

"Hey, Dark."

Virt greeted him as usual: "Are you here to buy materials too?"

Dark Demon nodded slightly: "Yes, you too?"

Virt smiled: "Of course, Professor Jones's training is really tough. I wish I had Robert's constitution."

Robert was slightly proud: "No problem."

Virt added: "I'm planning to buy the materials for [Blink Charm], but I'm worried I'll fail."

Dark Demon: "Go ahead and do it, failure is not scary. As long as you can learn from failure, any loss is valuable."

Virt: "Now that you say that, I feel relieved."

...

So Virt and Robert went to buy materials for the spell cards.

Dark Demon, on the other hand, went to buy materials for [Curse Cage] and [Fusion].

Both [Curse Cage] and [Fusion] belonged to the category of higher-level magic cards, and both were extremely special magic cards with a magic spirit card base.

Using [Curse Cage], one could temporarily seal pseudo-life forms like familiars and golems, to be used as magic spirit cards.

And using [Fusion], one could merge two or more fusion material magic spirits into one.

The production difficulty of both these magic cards was extremely high, and the material prices were both above 1500 credits.

Although Dark Demon had found the material lists for both magic cards in "The Three Thousand Marvelous Uses of the Cursed Cage" and "On the Extraordinary Characteristics of Fusion Series Decks," he had no confidence he could successfully refine them.

To complete the production of these two magic cards, he also had to self-study "Magic Language."

→Buying the materials in advance was just so he could start the experiments at any time.

But the materials for these two magic cards were very hard to find, so Dark Demon had to continue his search the next day.

It wasn't until Saturday noon that Dark Demon had collected all the materials for both magic cards.

After lunch.

Dark Demon arrived at the "Catnip Flower and Wood Shop."

"The necessary magic card production materials have been collected. Next, I can finally start researching my own system!"

The successful creation of [Gatomon] had given him great inspiration.

In his view, the value of Catnip Grass was no less than that of a high-grade alchemy tool.

In layman's terms, after cultivating a [Great Sin] into a fruit through Catnip Grass, it was possible to give the [Great Sin Fruit] certain biological characteristics.

For example:

[Pride] + [Catnip Grass (Cat)] = [Fruit of Pride (Cat)]

This could be used to refine feline-type magic spirits.

But what if he used other types of Catnip Grass?

For example:

[Wrath] + [Catnip Grass (Carp)] = [Fruit of Wrath (Carp)]

And then, could this [Fruit of Wrath (Carp)] be used to refine a Magikarp that could evolve through [Wrath]?

Or, could a [Fruit of Greed (Cat)] be used to refine a Meowth that could evolve through [Greed]?

...

This process of exploring the unknown was fascinating.

Dark Demon's passion for this type of research was clearly higher than others.

It had been half a month since he last entered the [Catnip Flower and Wood Shop].

The shop also had several new species of Catnip Grass.

According to the shop assistant, these were all types that had received good customer feedback.

"Is the King Cobra I saw before gone? I wonder if it was taken back or bought by someone."

Dark Demon walked around a bit, then couldn't resist squatting down and nuzzling a Ragdoll cat.

"Meow~"

Catnip Grass was truly irresistible.
