Chapter 677 “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon Dak Dement Flower Card
Even after staying up all night, the professors still appeared energetic.
“Flower Card?”
Professor Kazel, who had extensively studied Flower Card technology in the past, immediately understood Dak’s idea.
After some thought, he said, “If we can recreate the Flower Card, it could indeed be used as a tool for testing willpower. But have you considered whether its popularity might have a negative impact on the students?”
Dak Dement shook his head honestly, “It was just a fleeting thought; I haven’t really thought about it in detail.”
Professor Shylph frowned slightly and said directly, “Then let’s consider it together.”
“Flower Card, Flower Card… Speaking of which, Christmas is coming soon!” Professor Lily exclaimed with excitement, flapping her wings.
The love divination of the Flower Card and the approaching Christmas complement each other well.
Even if this wasn’t the case, she would still fully support this idea.
But after hearing this, Professor Shylph became even more troubled, “Is it just about Christmas? I hope to resolve this matter before Christmas.”
Professor Kazel shrugged and echoed, “Let’s hope so; I don’t want to be thinking about anything else during Christmas.”
A shadow fell over Professor Shylph’s face, “The secret passage hasn’t been opened yet, so there shouldn’t be any problems. If it comes to that, we might have to ask Metia for help. Although she isn’t good at precise divinations, she can point out clues.”
Divination requires a price. Unless absolutely necessary, Professor Shylph didn’t want to trouble Professor Metia.
Professor Lily chirped, “Then why not try using the Flower Card first? We can’t think of any other methods right now, can we?”
Perhaps because Dak’s previous solutions had been relatively smooth, the professors agreed after some consideration.
Professor Kazel turned to Dak, “Since you mentioned the Flower Card, you must have thought about how to refine it, right?”
Dak nodded immediately, “I referred to Professor Metia’s Love Spell Array and already have a complete plan for refining the Flower Card. However, due to my limited understanding of astrology, I haven’t tried it yet.”
Professor Kazel pondered and asked, “And what about the core? You know, the Flower Card itself is just an external display device; its true core is the original statue of the Moon Goddess. With the statue collapsed, how do you plan to replace it? If you don’t have one, I actually have one…”
“Professor, I happen to have one,” Dak quickly interjected.
Professor Kazel was slightly taken aback and nodded, “That’s good. But I don’t recommend using the Flower Card as the main investigative tool. Even if it becomes popular like last year, it may not reach the right people.”
“I certainly won’t rely entirely on the ‘Flower Card’!” Professor Lily added, “Just treat it as a fun activity for the Christmas theme, to enrich campus life.”
Professor Shylph looked at Dak and asked, “What do you think?”
Dak nodded slightly, “The process of making the ‘Flower Card’ might not be too complicated, but it would be impossible for me to make a thousand in half a month alone.”
Professor Kazel was right; it wouldn’t necessarily reach the hands of the ‘Cultivators.’ It could only be one of the plans.
Professor Shylph quickly said, “In that case, you and Lily will handle this plan specifically, while Kazel and I will explore other methods.”
Dak couldn’t help looking at Lily, hesitating slightly.
Professor Lily sensed his meaning and immediately said, “Of course, no problem!”
Dak sighed, “Actually, I don’t have any experience making Flower Cards. I might need Professor Kazel’s help later.”
Professor Kazel said, “I’ll help you.”
Dak breathed a sigh of relief.
After summarizing their investigation for the day, they dispersed.
In summary, they would investigate through three routes.
The first plan involved using the ‘Flower Card’ for investigation, the second plan was a standard approach, and the third plan relied on divination.
The last plan was a backup route.
As soon as they split up, Professor Lily exclaimed, “When do we start making the ‘Flower Card’?”
Dak rubbed his temples, “This afternoon. I need to get some sleep first.”
“Huh? Not right away?” Lily asked.
Dak sighed, “I’m just a regular human. I need enough sleep to stay in top condition. Can we meet at one o’clock?”
Lily immediately shook her head, “No!”
Dak, “Not even sleep?”
Professor Lily said, “Sleep is fine, but meeting at one o’clock is not.”
Dak, “Huh?”
Lily puzzled, “Why one o’clock? Can’t we rest together? Do you need breakfast?”
Dak’s tone faltered, “Let’s not waste time. Let’s get some sleep.”
He quickened his pace towards the Noble Academy tower.
But Lily suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him, accelerating instantly. In less than a minute, they passed through several walls and entered room 301.
Facing the awakened golems, Dak ignored Professor Lily and lay on the bed. Using an “Arrogance II” card, he elevated the Imp Beast to two stars, gaining the ultimate skill “Demon Hypnosis.” Pointing to his forehead, he said, “Come, give me one.”
The Imp Beast, though stunned, obeyed the command and executed the ultimate skill.
Dak closed his eyes and fell asleep deeply.
…
When Dak woke up, it was exactly half past eleven.
He looked at the clock on the wall and whispered, “It’s been more than five hours. That should be enough.”
Turning his head, he saw Professor Lily sleeping soundly beside him.
With the golems around, Lily didn’t turn into a “troublesome imp” and slept decently.
“Next, let’s eat something…”
Without going to the cafeteria, Dak borrowed some snacks from the Imp Beast and ate quickly.
Once he was full, he packed the necessary items into his backpack and left alone.
Soon, he arrived at Traveler’s Street to finish unfinished business.
“Master, good afternoon,” Eve, who had just finished lunch and was reading a book in the store, stood up to greet him.
Dak waved and asked, “Have you made arrangements with them?”
“Yes,” Eve replied seriously.
“That’s good,” Dak walked straight into the inner room and said, “Connect with Irina as soon as possible.”
Eve followed him inside and closed the door behind her.
Two minutes later, Eve successfully cast the “Spirit Synergy Art” and connected with Irina, projecting Claire Kate’s voice.
“According to Eve, you have something urgent to discuss?” Claire asked.
“It wasn’t urgent originally, but now it is,” Dak said with some frustration. “There are some issues at the academy, and I have other urgent matters to deal with, so let’s get straight to the point.”
Claire furrowed her brows, “What happened at the academy? Is it related to your duel yesterday?”
Dak replied, “Indeed, it has some connection.”
Claire nodded, “It seems the academy has activated an emergency response. The maids who were monitoring the dueling arena reported that after your duel ended, the images suddenly became inconsistent. As expected…”
Dak said, “Regardless, it’s internal academy business. Without permission, I can’t disclose too much. Let me tell you about my situation first.”
Claire seemed relieved, “It seems the administration still has leeway. Go ahead.”
Dak continued, “I successfully refined a golem. It has a high probability of completely eliminating the Underworld Fire. We might use it for separation experiments.”
Claire perked up, “Separation experiment?”
Dak nodded, “Yes, by separating the Underworld Fire from the human body using the golem.”
Claire almost immediately understood, “You can separate the Underworld Fire from a human body without resorting to a duel?”
Dak explained, “My golem can separate the Underworld Fire by consuming it. If done properly, it might retain the power within the holder’s body.”
“The maids use Underworld Fire to enhance themselves, but its existence is a hazard. If my experiment succeeds, it will remove this hazard.”
Claire widened her eyes in surprise, “Goodness, I’ve always thought that enhancement method was improper. I didn’t expect you found a solution.”
Dak hurriedly said, “This is just an experimental plan. It hasn’t been verified. Therefore, I need the duchess’s mansion to send some maids enhanced by the Underworld Fire to assist with the experiment.”
“That’s not a problem,” Claire said immediately. “Christmas is coming, and Eve needs extra help. I can send them to the academy under the guise of staff members. Besides, Eve and Irina can exchange places.”
Eve couldn’t help opening her mouth.
Irina softly said, “We don’t need to exchange. I don’t like academy life. Eve is better suited to stay here.”
Claire frowned slightly and looked at Irina, “We’ll discuss this later. Everything depends on your sisters’ own wishes.”
Dak glanced at Eve and said, “Since everything is settled, let’s stop here. Aunt Claire, I have to go.”
Claire nodded, “Alright, take care of yourself!”
Dak smiled, “I will.”
The projection ended.
Dak got up and said, “Sister Eve, I’m leaving now.”
Eve smiled warmly, “Alright, Master. Given the duchess’s speed, we might see new sisters tonight.”
Dak chuckled, “Then I might not have time to visit. You should welcome them properly.”
Eve nodded, “Yes!”
They bid farewell, and Dak left Traveler’s Street, heading straight for the teachers’ dormitory. Soon, he arrived at Professor Kazel’s room.
Professor Kazel had prepared tea and waited. After entering, Dak put down his backpack and said, “Professor, let’s start the experiment.”
Professor Kazel smiled, “How far have you prepared for refining the Flower Card?”
Dak smiled, “Actually, if it’s just making ordinary Flower Cards, I’m quite confident. But we need special Flower Cards that can test willpower. Ideally, it could also gather information to determine if the user and the book are related.”
Professor Kazel nodded, “That’s not difficult to achieve.”
Dak continued, “Indeed. The divination of the Flower Card relies on extracting images from the user’s surface thoughts. If the user holds the book, they will be very concerned. The Flower Card might show the book instead of a preferred object!”
Professor Kazel smiled, “With a little adjustment, we can push this probability to the limit. I’ll add a tracking function and show a lower-level character image when the book is detected, avoiding immediate discovery.”
Dak became increasingly excited, “Then let’s get started!”
While these words might be beyond his current abilities, participating in the entire experiment would surely teach him a lot.
“Hmm,” Professor Kazel said, “Show me your terminal.”
Dak took out the “Moon Goddess Soul I” and summoned the “Moon Goddess Soul.”
As the “Moon Goddess Soul” appeared, Professor Kazel remarked, “So it’s this? I’ve been wondering if your Armed Card was made using the power of the Moon Goddess.”
Dak admitted, “I found the second Moon Goddess Temple in the secret passage.”
Professor Kazel examined the “Moon Goddess Soul” carefully and praised, “A genuine divine card!”
Then he returned his gaze, saying, “If this is the divine card, it is indeed suitable as a terminal for the Flower Card. I assume it has the ability to store the power of the Moon Goddess, right?”
Dak nodded, “Yes.”
Professor Kazel said, “That’s even better. No need for external storage.”
He walked to the lab table, cleared the space, and gestured, “You do it.”
Dak was slightly taken aback, “Me?”
Professor Kazel smiled, “Yes, you.”
Dak’s lips curled into a smile, “Then I’ll do it!”
…
Dak Dement’s preparations were more than sufficient.
His talent for divination was higher than he imagined.
At the beginning, Professor Kazel didn’t say much and simply watched him operate quickly on the lab table.
Half an hour later, the first Flower Card was successfully produced.
Although this Flower Card lacked intricate detailing, its basic effects were robust, similar to those made by the Aquarian Sect last year.
But it wasn’t enough.
