Chapter 88 Wonderful
Seeing that Yu Cang had finally finished the experiment, Lin Yunqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked impatiently:
"So, how on earth did you do it?"
Yu Cang looked at her: "A detailed explanation still needs further organization, but I can give you a brief explanation of the basic principles of this new summoning method."
Yu Cang took out the Ice Heart Sword and a Frost White Sword: "Let me ask you a question, what is the difference between these two soul cards."
Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang moved her lips as if she wanted to speak, but after looking at Lin Yunqing beside her, she silently closed her mouth.
Well, I am an expert in fighting, but when it comes to card making, I probably can't compare to Lin Yunqing... The more I say, the more mistakes I make. Anyway, I have the advantage now. As long as I keep a straight face, I will be invincible!
"This..." Lin Yunqing frowned, "The quality and card name are different, but this is definitely not what you are talking about..."
Combining what Lin Yunqing had just witnessed, he tentatively asked, "Do they have the same core abilities? Each of the previous higher-level summons involved the Frost White Sword. Could it be that the principle behind this summoning method is to first create a soul card with the same core ability, and then use other materials to fill in the gaps in other attributes?"
"Yes and no. Half right, I guess." Yu Cang nodded in confirmation. "You guessed right. This summoning method is indeed based on the same or similar core abilities."
"But, this doesn't make sense..." Lin Yunqing continued, "If that's the case, then the other materials should also be of ice attribute, and the soul energy consumption can't be reduced..."
Since other materials are used to complete the attributes, the individual attributes of these materials will definitely be wasted. In this way, the soul energy consumption will only be higher. How come it has been reduced?
And what are the materials you used... Dragon Tooth Knife? Brave Iron Sword? These materials are completely unrelated!
"That's why I said it's only half right." Yu Cang explained, "You're still thinking in terms of a higher summon, but there's actually a huge difference.
"I discovered that Soul Cards, besides the card name, quality, and other attributes, also have another attribute... I'll temporarily call it the star rating."
"Star rating?" Lin Yunqing looked bewildered. "What's the point of this?"
Gu Jieshuang, who was standing by, crossed her arms over her chest and nodded in agreement with Yu Cang, as if she had guessed something.
In fact, I didn’t understand at all.
In fact, she didn't even understand what Lin Yunqing said.
But it doesn’t matter, she is the winner in the end!
Yu Cang did not rush to answer this question.
"There are many parameters that affect star rating. Judging from the current data, soul energy consumption is highly correlated with it, but the specific formula still needs to be sorted out later." Yu Cang placed the notebook in his hand on the table. It was densely covered with data that only he could understand.
Lin Yunqing hurried over, flipped through a few pages, and observed it carefully.
At this, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "It's so sloppy, you can understand it?"
Lin Yunqing nodded: "I have seen your normal handwriting. Although these words are sloppy, the structural rules are actually the same. As long as you pay attention and think carefully, you can understand them."
Yu Cang clicked his tongue: "Amazing."
If he also had this skill, he wouldn't have had to work so hard copying homework in his previous life.
Gu Jieshuang was panicked.
Wait! This is actually how you break through... Lin Yunqing, I really can't underestimate you!
However, at this level, there is no way to break the deadlock!
She also hurried over, but all she saw on the notebook were clumps of messy grass, which she couldn't understand at all.
After a while, Gu Jieshuang began to feel confused. She looked at Lin Yunqing with some suspicion.
Can anyone really understand this? Are you just pretending?
Yu Cang continued to explain, "Unlike other attributes, star rating doesn't primarily affect combat effectiveness, but rather the difficulty of summoning... and perhaps even the mental stress after summoning. This aspect requires more experiments to determine.
"If the star rating is lower, then summoning will be much easier. Based on current experimental data, if the star rating of a Soul Card can be changed, then even the Soul Energy consumption of the Soul Card will change accordingly! Of course, as the saying goes, a small change affects the entire body. If the star rating is changed, the specific ability will definitely be weakened."
"Is that so..." Lin Yunqing pondered, "So this summoning method is... falling stars?"
"To be precise, it's about lowering the star first, then raising it." Yu Cang laughed, "Retain the core ability of the Ice Heart Sword, lower its star to the Frost White Sword, and then use other summoning materials to make up for the lowered star number. With the Ice Heart Sword itself guiding it, it can be successfully summoned!"
Gu Jieshuang's pupils trembled slightly: "Is that so..."
Although she still didn't know what the concept of star rating was, after listening to Yu Cang's words, she seemed to gradually understand it in her mind.
If this is true... then the world of card makers is about to usher in a revolution...
You know, ever since the World Soul Card Alliance established the standard template for making soul cards nearly a thousand years ago, this template has never been changed!
It is universally recognized that the card-making rules of card name, category, quality, attributes, race, and ability are the most suitable for the card maker.
Not to mention adding an attribute, even a small modification has not been allowed!
If this could be accomplished, it would be truly...
Yu Cang continued to explain:
"During the summoning process, this Soul Card with [Cold] not only provides the core ability, but also acts as a medium. This medium will resonate with all the other materials, thus aligning the star levels of the materials and ultimately achieving the summoning conditions."
Yu Cang held the frost-white sword between his fingers and waved it in front of the two of them. "It's equivalent to... it's an 'adjuster' that adjusts the star level. In this process, the main output is this adjuster, and the summoned 'Ice Heart Sword' itself only serves as a guide..."
"...I think I understand." Lin Yunqing rubbed his chin with his fingers. "This rule can also be applied to other decks, right..."
“It still needs experimentation.”
Lin Yunqing's expression was a little complicated. He looked at Yu Cang: "How on earth did you come up with these ideas..."
"...It was an accident." He just felt that the description was somewhat familiar, so he was in the mood to do some experiments, but he didn't expect that there would really be something.
Beside him, Gu Jieshuang also revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is... The boss is really a genius!"
…
"Wonderful." Ye Lai raised his head with a smile in his dragon eyes.
"It's too early to say. This idea will only be considered brilliant after it's been perfected."
"That's not what I'm talking about. After all, so much time has passed, and the knowledge I have left behind is no longer worthy of evaluating your work."
"Hmm? What's that?"
"I beg your pardon for not being able to explain clearly."
"What..."
