Carl picked up the card with the Metagross spirit in surprise. His brain was working quickly and he felt as if he had vaguely found the fun in it.

"How about adding some settings from Auto Chess and try to make monsters with the same attributes gain certain benefits when they appear at the same time?

No, no, no, if this function can be realized, it would be best to make the initial conditions of the resonance effect into a dedicated venue card. Only when the dedicated venue card is placed on the field can the corresponding resonance effect be obtained..."

Like an unscrupulous game planner, Carl began to construct the gameplay of the game.

He subconsciously gathered a few cards into his hand.

At this moment, the cards of Mage Metagross and Battleberserk overlapped.

The huge axe reappeared, but this time, Metagross did not hold it in his hands. Instead, he crushed the phantom of the axe with his four mechanical arms and absorbed its energy into his body.

The next second, something like an axe blade grew out from the four mechanical arms of Mage Metagross, and it seemed to have completed some kind of evolution again.

Carl was dumbfounded by this and hurriedly separated the equipment card from the Metagross card.

But the spirit did not change back because of this behavior and still maintains its current appearance.

It was not until a long time after the dragon spirit was restored that the appearance of Mage Metagross suddenly became blurred, and then returned to its normal appearance.

The Berserker Axe that was originally fused with it was also separated from its body, but was still held in its mechanical hand.

Karl vaguely felt that he had grasped some of the rules.

"After defeating an opponent, the spirit will absorb the opponent's energy to evolve for a short period of time. Equipment cards can grant certain bonuses to the spirit. If this bonus is to be effective, it should have certain requirements, such as... level?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Carl was about to record the rules he had discovered, but his hand suddenly hung in the air.

He stood there like a sculpture for a long time before he let out a long breath.

"Huh~, a truly fun game shouldn't have its gameplay restricted by the designer, but should be left to the players to explore on their own. Once the supporting equipment is made, just hand it over to Mitris. Maybe the players can figure out more on their own.

I am just an inker, how can I know anything about games? "

After saying that, Carl laughed at himself and put the card aside.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning, and Hope and the other three had already gotten up.

Carl re-baked the bread and the rest of the food, and invited the three people who had worked hard all night to have dinner together.

Just as Carl and the other three were lying in the bastion doing nothing, Baine's team and Iris' team reunited in a wilderness near Storm Bay.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Never mind, let's go back to Storm Bay together."

When they left before, there was a gap between the three teams, so the area after the jump was also somewhat different.

Originally, Bain felt that his team should be the last to arrive after jumping so many times, but he didn't expect that Iris and the others would be so unlucky.

After communicating with each other using flag signals, the team was reorganized into one unit and then continued to move towards Storm Bay.

After a certain jump, many man-made buildings suddenly appeared in the scenery ahead.

At this moment, Bane knew that they were finally back.

"Wow, another group has arrived. Luckily the City Hall notified us yesterday that there was another group that hadn't arrived yet, otherwise I would have thought that the enemy was attacking us."

On the street, some adventurers looked at the army of constructs with laughter, but some of them still glanced around with vigilance, as if guarding against Bain and his men launching a surprise attack.

The news that the follow-up troops of the Artificial Intelligence Division had all returned to Storm Bay spread like wildfire, and the petty intrigues hidden beneath the prosperity were suddenly calmed down a lot.

…

Two days later, Storm Bay.

Walking on the third-level street of the underground city, Luther tugged at his collar a little anxiously.

He was one of the first batch of part-time artificer trainees under Eruden's exchange student policy, and a fellow villager of Lisanna and Carl.

After Carl asked Eruden for help some time ago, he followed the ranger troops to Storm Bay.

He originally just wanted to repay Carl for his help, but he never expected that the treatment in Storm Bay would be so good!

"She probably didn't look over here, did she? She probably didn't notice that I was always peeking at her, did she? Maybe..."

With his mind wandering, Luther once again stole a glance at his companion.

He was a fire elemental with drow blood. Under his hair that glowed slightly red was a face that was as delicate as that of a drow.

Although there are some lava-like marks on her arms, overall, she is an undisputedly beautiful girl.

Luther had never been so close to such a beautiful girl before. Whenever she came up to him to ask him how to use weapons or other questions, Luther couldn't control his excitement.

It's not that he has dirty thoughts, but when choosing a companion, the fire elemental girl chose him quite straightforwardly.

Her original words were: "I like this boy better."

Before that, the drow who brought them to the Sheriff's Bureau to report clearly informed the rangers that these girls wanted to marry them.

Luther, who has been single since childhood, has never even held a girl's hand. But today, when he was about to go out on patrol, he was suddenly told by a girl that she had taken a fancy to him.

This made him feel a little complicated.

Just as he was constantly losing his mind and even began to lose focus, the fire elemental girl next to him suddenly said, "Senior, when you rest later, why don't you go to the Laisheng Bar and sit down? I heard there are new entertainment facilities there."

"Huh? Oh! Sure! Well, it's only two hours until lunch, so let's just do some inspection over there and then go over there."

Responding to the other party in a panic, Luther felt that his heartbeat almost broke the previous limit.

Soon, it was noon and the two of them came to the first floor of the Lai Sheng Bar, only to find that many people had already gathered there and they didn't know what they were doing.

In front of the crowd, some adventurers shouted excitedly, just like gamblers in a casino waiting for their favorite numbers to appear on the dice.

Protecting the fire elemental girl, Luther moved forward and finally saw what the adventurers were fiddling with.

It was a card with a metallic sheen and a rotating starry sky-like pattern on the back.

The adventurers kept taking out scraps of various wild beasts and placing them on the front of the cards. With some special reaction, the materials seemed to have lost something, and then a strange spirit that absorbed the characteristics of the materials would emerge from the card.

Next to the window where these cards are sold, several adventurers are sitting at a specially made rectangular table, placing these cards on the table and commanding the spirits generated by the cards to fight each other.
