Chapter 326: CH.322 Testing out the local Summoning Magic

HomeBase didn’t need anything super important from us, depending on how you look at things. Just manual maintenance. Well, calling it maintenance isn’t even correct. More like just tasks that I haven’t been able to fully automate yet, like the swapping of the cards in the avatar dolls. The dolls themselves, even when a monster is using it, can recharge their mana just fine. So as long as the monster using the avatar doll is willing to take a two hour break each day, there won’t be any mana problems.

Of course other than the avatar doll problem, with all Card Summoners on the ground, no one is up on HomeBase leveling up Wilma. She has been leveling up smoothly and was level 49 currently. Her skill level ups have been to her crafting related skills, Crafting, Blacksmithing and Enchanting. The reason I’m bringing attention to this is because she could potentially evolve now. Next time I, or perhaps even someone else, level her up, she will get to 51. And that might cause her to evolve. But depending on how things go, I might have to leave leveling Wilma up to Ria, or someone else. Ria just is the ‘go to’ when I assign this kind of work, as she is my maid. Also, giving her more reasons to use my cards might help her level up Card Summoner. Lua got a level to it after summoning Vampire monsters for nearly a month on a daily basis while she was teaching the villagers. Well, really thinking about it, she would have done it twice now. So maybe all of that experience just was finally enough for her to get the level. 

Compare that to Alice who used her monsters to fight high power opponents. Well, she actually got her Card Summoner to level 3 all the way back after the behemoth incident, so it could also have something to do with her being fused with Mana, but I’m not sure. So maybe level 3 Card Summoner can be reached either by one big case of using my cards, or a long time of using them for daily tasks. I would say I’ll look into that, but realistically, I won’t. There just is no point, as I can’t cheat Card Summoner onto people. Maybe if I could, I would look for the level up conditions. If the skill even has any. 

Well, level 2 did seem to have some. It does seem like you have to special summon a monster by a card effect for that at least, as Alex, Alice and Lua all got LV.2 Card Summoner after that. Though at the same time, Ria didn’t. But that might have been because she hadn’t had Card Summoner for that long at that time. And she did get her level 2 quite soon after special summoning monsters, so it did seem to help her.

 

Well, my ranting about Card Summoner aside, I have some important work to do. Mainly, automate the freaking avatar doll card exchanger. Just in case I can’t get to HomeBase for a day or two. There is no reason for me to be doing it manually, so let’s finally automate it.

When I began thinking outside of my initial idea, the solution to this problem was actually quite simple. That is something I probably should thank Mariina for, as the discussion I had with her about satellites and navigation really helped me open my eyes to just how set in my ways I can be. I think everything has to be done like it was done on Earth, as that is how I assume I should do it here, but I don’t.

So how do you automate things? You don’t. You just make someone else take care of it. And I’m not low on workers, as the avatar dolls are the workers.

So let me tell you how I actually did this. First problem was taking cards out of my Collection without me having to do that. For that, I actually went a bit of a roundabout way. Instead of figuring out a way to get the cards out of Collection, I figured out a way to get stuff out of Storage. Laura and Tahlia can easily move my cards from the Collection to Storage, and making a magic chest that linked with a specific folder of Storage wasn’t that challenging.

I just made a small box, actually it was an unlinked letter exchange box as I had one handy. Then I installed Pharaoh's Treasure to it, so I could turn that box into a magic bag. Well, a magic box in this case, but same difference. After that, I just installed Exchange to the box, linking it with my Storage.
