'Is it possible that psychic energy can interfere to some extent with the formation of a spirit?'

Considering that the Cloud Giant Spirit Card looked almost exactly like himself, Carl couldn't help but have this thought.

"I won't play it for now. I feel like I have thought of some new ways to improve the Spirit Card Game. I'll go study it first."

After saying that, Karl ran away without giving anyone a chance to stop him.

In this kind of card game where there is only one man, you should try to avoid it if you can. There is no benefit if you win, and you will be ridiculed if you lose.

…

"Hey! Udyr, come play cards again!"

In the evening, on the first floor of the Next Life Bar, the bar, which has become very lively due to the popularity of Spirit Cards, is now the busiest time of the day.

As soon as Udyr, with a full beard, wearing a cowboy hat and an old leather jacket, appeared, he was stopped by familiar card-playing friends.

"Ha, yeah, ever since I got this game, I've been going to call girls less often!"

The middle-aged man named Udyr skillfully took out a dozen copper coins from his pocket and skillfully placed them in front of the card-playing friend he had just spoken to.

"Hey, it's still the same old rules. I'll rent the cards to play."

Upon hearing this, the card-playing friends who were familiar with him all showed expressions of toothache.

"With your skills, you should be able to find a few dragon crystals by just going out. Then you can buy a lot of white cards and condense your own spirit. Why do you always have to borrow from us?"

Exhaling a puff of light blue smoke, a dwarf adventurer finally asked the question that had always been on his mind.

Ever since he met Udyr, he discovered that this guy had always been borrowing other people's cards to play with.

Not only that, after asking about the other party's situation, the dwarf also found out that except for the clothes on the other party, everything else was rented.

As a veteran adventurer who came to Storm Bay during the rule of the Storm Council, this guy doesn't even have affordable housing in the new Storm Bay.

Obviously, as long as he completed the construction tasks with the engineering team for a period of time, he could get a set, but this guy didn't go! Hearing the words of his dwarf poker friend, Udyr was obviously stunned for a moment.

But soon, he pressed the cowboy hat on his head and said in a somewhat bleak tone:

"I am a forgetful person and I am afraid that I will lose my cards and not be able to find them again. It is inevitable that you will develop feelings for your cards after playing with them for a long time. I am afraid that I will be sad if I lose them."

These words made everyone feel awkward. They now had very deep feelings for their ace, and Udyr's words seemed to be hitting them in the corner.

The dwarf poker player replied angrily:

"Fuck you...get out of here! It's okay to lend you some of those sacrifice cards, but I won't lend you my trump cards anymore! Go buy some white cards and gather your spirit!"

As he spoke, the dwarf pushed the row of copper coins back in front of Udyr.

Udyr was stunned again, picked up the money and prepared to borrow it from others for fun.

But after hearing what he just said, the people around him didn't want to lend their trump cards to others anymore. They felt it was weird, so they all turned their heads away and stopped looking at him.

We are all adults and can easily earn a dozen copper coins. They always feel heavy on their heads because they have to give their trump cards to others for such a small amount of money.

After looking around, Udyr finally sighed.

He quickly came to the card counter and saw that others were buying cards with one or two silver coins. Udyr thought for a moment and finally decided not to be stingy and buy only one card. Instead, he bought a standard deck pack - 60 cards.

The card holder for one deck was just about the same size as the chest pocket of his leather jacket.

"My dear customer, do you need me to explain to you the precautions for gathering your spirit?"

The saleswoman who sold the cards was a pretty girl, and she had some connection with Carl.

Her boyfriend was one of the people who were taken away by the fallen drow and sucked dry, and she followed Carl back to Storm Bay from the wilderness.

Although Udyr, who had played many games, was familiar with the rules of the game, this was his first time to condense his spirit, so he listened to the salesgirl's explanation of the precautions.

But soon, he discovered an embarrassing problem.

"Shit, I only have these things on me. I also sell the beasts I hunted as whole animals. How can I have the materials of beasts or the fragments of antiques to condense my spirit?"

Scratching the back of his neck, Udyr was now somewhat tempted to return the card pack.

Just then, his scratching fingers suddenly touched a tiny necklace.

Udyr was startled, then he pulled the necklace out of his clothes.

It was a necklace made from a broken wolf fang, the material of which came from Udyr's original animal companion, a winter wolf.

Seeing it, Udyr's mind was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the day when he challenged the dragon beast without knowing his own limitations and ended up killing his animal companion.

Ever since he survived by chance with the help of his animal companion, Udyr, a beast tamer ranger, has suffered from a strange mental illness.

For each mission, he would temporarily recruit wild beasts to serve as his animal companions, and then cancel the magic contract with them and let them leave.

Not only that, the woman, the residence, the companions, except for the clothes he wore, everything else was "rented".

If a firearm called a revolver had not suddenly appeared some time ago, he would not even want to buy the weapon.

After a pause, Udyr took off the only item left to him by the only animal companion he recognized.

The salesgirl was instructing him to use the winter wolf fang to condense his spirit, and Udyr just let her command him.

“Huh~”

A light air current blew up out of nowhere, and Udyr seemed to feel snowflakes falling on his face.

Above the spirit card, an egg made of white snow has taken shape.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, but at this moment, the egg formed by the snow suddenly melted, revealing a little wolf cub with gray fur with a hint of light blue.

Looking at this spirit, Udyr felt as if he had suddenly returned to his hometown of Karrnath, back to the time when he had just become a tamer and went to the forest to look for animal companions.

Just then, the little wolf cub opened his eyes with blue irises.

The man and the wolf looked at each other as if they had met for the first time.
