Card Apprentice Daily Log

Chapter 746 Hematophagy

Date- 1 April 2321

Time- 21:15

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234.

After hanging up on Susan, I sent her the ingredient list. To which she replied,

[Ingredients will be delivered in 25 minutes. Don't overwork yourself and get some rest. XOXO]

I appreciate Susan's work ethic ignoring the hugs and kisses at the end of the text.

…

Back in Susan's bedroom,

Susan buried her head in a pillow and screamed. After a moment she hurriedly looked in her silver grade grimoire with expectation. But only to be disappointed. Shaking her head she sighed, "That man of steel wouldn't even know that XOXO means hugs and kisses. Let alone him replying the same back to me."

…

While I waited for the ingredients I contacted Vivan, "Vivan, come to the warehouse. I have some work for you."

"Yes, Boss. I will be there right away." Vivian agreed without caring that it was late night. As a calamity daughter gem, they don't get to choose to follow their boss's orders, they have to follow it.

The reason I called Vivan over was to create a blow-up doll, which without her Blood Clone meaning of blood rule was not possible. Vivan's Blood clone meaning allowed her to create clones of anybody with enough blood of the target. I wanted to use its ability to enhance the slime spirit's morphing ability. Somewhat similar to what I did with Kane Kaga's origin card. The concept was similar but the use was different. Here I am going to enhance an already existing ability while in Kane's case I added the ability to his origin card.

While waiting for the card ingredients and Vivan to arrive I raided the warehouse fridge and made a sandwich to satisfy my hunger. Pretty soon the ingredients were delivered by the guild association staff followed by Vivan's arrival.

"Greeting, Boss" Vivan greeted me.

"Vivan, I plan to start a new business venture. I want you to be the core of this operation. Your blood rule makes you the obvious candidate. And I think you are capable enough to meet the requirements of your role. What do you think?" Most of my Calamity daughter gems were contributing to my cause one or the other way but Vivan has been very passive compared to others. I plan to change that by assigning her to take over the Blow-up doll card business along with Cindy.

"Your wish is my command, boss," Vivian answered with the typical hive minion answer. What was I expecting? But with this, I could rest assured that the recipe for the custom blow-up doll card I was going to create would not leak.

"Good. And how good are you with card creation?" I could just get the answer by invading Vivan's mind but I preferred asking and learning method over that.

"My family has hired a Silver grade card creationist to teach me card creation. I know the basics of it." Answered Vivan.

"Great, that's more than enough. Now let's get started with the card creation process shall we." Since we were alone in the warehouse I decided to start card creation right here rather than moving to the narrow card lab.

[D-rank Slime spirit x 2 - $3,000,000

F-rank Wood Wisp core x 20 - $20,000 ]

The D-rank slime spirits were stored in a locked aquarium. Both of the slime spirits had taken the shape of a fish and were barely visible in the water. Yep, there were live slime spirits in the aquarium. I should have been more specific to Susan. I just need the core, not the entire living monster. Well, I guess Rami Kaga could be in luck as his custom blow-up doll card was going to be special. There are some advantages of using a living monster in creating a summon-type card over using a monster core to create a summon-type card.

They were expensive because these Slime spirit monsters are used by rich people to decorate their houses. I could understand why because they were so peaceful to watch.

Apart from their high intelligence and ability to morph, the slime spirit had the cloning ability. Their cloning ability works similar to how their asexual reproduction works. Unlike their progeny who can live independent of their parent slime, the clones would die losing their connection with their original body.

"Boss, before we begin I need to give you an update on my progress." As I reached for the slime spirit in the aquarium Vivian reminded me.

"Well, go on, I can multitask," I said, holding a slime spirit in my hands. It did not struggle or attack with its corrosive slime body, instead, it lay peacefully in my hands. these slime spirits seemed to have gotten used to humans' touch.

"I have attained ultimate mastery in Blood clone meaning of blood rule and have also comprehended Hematophagy as my second meaning in blood rule. And I have exhausted all the blood rule pills you have given me." Vivian reported.

"What? You attain ultimate mastery in blood clone meaning! How so?" Unlike old Ben and Cortney, Vivan's origin card was not related to the blood rule so it would not help her achieve ultimate mastery, how did she achieve it.

"Boss, after seeing you use my blood clone rune to make an exemplary origin card I was mauling over various ways I could use my blood clone meaning, suddenly I had an epiphany, and the next thing I know I had achieved ultimate mastery in blood clone meaning of blood rule.

As for the Hematophagy meaning of blood rule, it allows me to use the blood of a monster as a replacement for food. This meaning of blood not only helps with my hunger, but it also replenishes my energy, stamina, and basically everything a balanced diet would do for a card apprentice.

I think it's related to the roots of my origin card's elder druids. As the roots of the elder druids can suck nutrients out of a corpse to nourish themselves." Following my order, Vivan explained how she gained ultimate mastery in blood clone meaning of the blood rule, and got started with the second blood rule meaning.
