As I was headed to the card lab to continue my card creation, Aba called out to me, "Wyatt, where are you guys going?"
"To the card lab to create cards. I have to earn my keep, I am an orphan high schooler remember. Not everybody has a rich dad to fool around like you." I said bluntly.
"Why are you being such a sour puss, is it because sugar mama Anna is not feeding her sugar baby enough candies?" Aba was not the one to take it sitting down.
"Uh-huh." Aba's powerful retort was unexpected but I continued to walk to the card lad.
"Hey, wait. I am not done yet." Aba called.
"But my patience is," I replied.
"Don't speak as if you are tolerating us when clearly we are the ones tolerating a grumpy host," Aba spoke her mind as she followed behind me.
"..." Answering Aba would only lead to an argument and I was in no mood to argue with Aba, so I didn't reply to her remarks.
"Hey, I have a serious job for you. Could you stop a second and listen to what I have to say?" Aba asked in frustration, irritated by my silent treatment.
"I already gave you the second that you ask for but you wasted it on your pointless argument." I stopped, not because of Aba but because I had already arrived at the card lad.
"Fine, I apologize is that what you want to hear. Are you happy now?" Irritate Aba let her frustration out.
"You wasted another second of my time I just gave." I glared at Aba seeing her trying to argue again and continue, "Save it, here is your second tell me what you want."
"... I want you to make a Slime spirit summon card using this Slime spirit," Aba said pointing her eyes at the aquarium in her hands.
"Um, okay. If it is just turning the slime spirit into a summon card then my service fee will be lower than the usual rate." I answered.
"What, you want me to pay?" Aba asked in surprise.
"What, you want me to do it for free?" I said sarcastically mimicking Aba.
"Come on, I already settle for this slime as payment instead of the promised middle-tier soul jade. The least you could do is help me turn it into a summon card." Aba bargained.
"You speak as if I am taking advantage of you, didn't we already agree that the remaining balance is settled as the accommodation charges." I had to remind Aba of the agreement we decided on together.
"Wow, there is no winning with you, is it? I don't know what Anna sees in you." Aba spoke in frustration.
"You and me both sister. If nothing else I will return to card creation." I said as I walked into the Card lab after Sarah and Vivian.
"Stop. Wyatt, come on. Please, this is my first mercenary mission completion reward I want it to be special." Aba wanted to immortalize her reward for the completion of her first mercenary mission by turning it into a card.
"If you wanted something of significance then you shouldn't have agreed to a middle-tier soul jade as a reward," I said, but seeing Aba's disheartened face, I took pity on the kid and added, "Let us come to a compromise, I am willing to turn your slime spirit in to summon card for free if you are willing to heir me to upgraded your D-rank Slime spirit summon card to A-rank for my usual price."
"Okay. but how sure are you that you will be able to upgrade a D-rank Slime spirit card to A-rank? I know this slime spirit is not my fated ingredient but I value it as much. If you fail the upgrade process I will never be able to forgive you." Aba cherished the Slime spirit with the utmost importance that one would give to their fate ingredient.
"I don't take clients that I cannot satisfy. Don't worry I wouldn't have proposed this if I wasn't a hundred percent sure." I assure Aba that her Slime Spirit was in capable hands.
"Okay, I will trust you this once. And also I am willing to pay extra for any other extra add-ons, so do your best." Aba decided to trust me and also offered extra for more upgrades I could add to her summons card.
"Uh-huh, give me that, see you soon." Taking the aquarium from Aba's hands I closed the card lab door behind me.
Sarah and Vivian had already made themselves comfortable in the card lab, I sat on the place that they both saved for me and decided to make Aba's card creation my first agenda than I can get to create a card template for Vivian.
I took a common core and placed it on my grimoire creation page. Then I rearranged the soul pathway in the common core to create a trap array that was capable of capturing the slime spirit into the core. Capturing the slime spirit into the core I rearranged its soul pathways and arrangements to merge it with the common core. Then I used the wood wisp cores to enhance the soul pathways of the slime spirit so that it can withstand merging with runes and I commanded, "Vivian add your Hematophagy meaning of blood rule to the core."
"Right away, Boss," Vivian answered as she introduced Hematophagy meaning blood rule power into the core.
After merging the Hematophagy meaning blood rule power with the Slime Spirit soul pathway, mutating the slime spirit into blood slime spirit. I ordered, "Sarah, add your Blood memory rune to the core."
"Yes, boss." Sarah made a copy of her blood memory rune and transferred it to the core.
Enhancing the blood slime spirit's intelligence by merging the blood memory rune with its soul pathway, I instructed, "Vivian, add your blood clone rune to the core."
Following my instruction, Vivian created a copy of her blood clone rune and transferred it to the core, then I merged the blood clone rune to the clone ability of the enhanced blood slime spirit, which resulted in a natural mutation giving birth to an Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit. Then I morphed the core into a card.
