Free Web NovelChapter 391: Chapter 145: The Prototype of the Great Sage
"Alright, anyway, thank you."
Ree Shil picked up the book and expressed his gratitude.
But seeing the excited little eyes of the other party, he probably couldn’t hear it.
So he picked up the book and started to read it.
The book was thick and heavy.
The title was "Thoughts on How to Purify Cards."
"Purification?"
This was the first time Ree Shil had heard the word, but he already understood roughly what it meant.
He opened the first few pages to read the introduction and such.
Unexpectedly, after reading this mere several-thousand-word introduction, he closed the book.
"So that’s how it is, it can be done like this!"
He really had to thank Vegetable Boss for this, as a simple book of just a few pages opened his mind.
After reading the introduction, Ree Shil learned about the concept of "Purification."
It refers to the behavior of refining a powerful word card to better utilize it, and reconfiguring other desired word cards for it.
Looking back on his card-making process in the past, he was basically doing addition.
For addition, he was already quite experienced.
Simply put, it’s just two words: preview to the death and slowly filter.
However, this approach wouldn’t work today.
Because he wants to remove [Penetration], which falls within the category of subtraction.
His previous idea was to find a suitable card to replace the [Penetration] card on [Martial Fighting Monkey].
This method, in the book, is called horizontal card-making.
Simply put, it’s trying to get everything done in one step.
Currently, from the preview results, it’s unachievable.
That’s why he was looking through books in the library, trying to find a two- or even three-step approach to achieve horizontal card-making.
But there are two problems.
The first point is that the depth of his card deck is limited, and there aren’t enough base cards to provide choices.
The second point is that he can only preview one step, so there are too many uncertainties in the two- or even three-step horizontal card-making process.
So, for now, taking the path of purification may be a better answer.
The first step of purification is downward compatible card-making.
That is to make [Martial Fighting Monkey] change from a B-Class Card to a C-Class Card.
In the process of B becoming C, discard the [Thorough Strength] card.
Then, using addition, make the C-Class Card turn back into a B-Class Card and obtain the desired finished card.
He is very familiar with this last step.
As for the first step, there doesn’t seem to be a ready-made answer in the previous previews.
"But I can make a card that is downward compatible and eliminates [Thorough Strength], achieving the purpose of purification."
At this moment, he figured out the answer by extraplation.
It’s still taking multiple steps, but the steps aren’t horizontal, they’re downward.
It’s like a roundabout rescue plan.
"Let’s take a look at the information in the book first."
So, he opened the book again and flipped through the table of contents.
Sure enough, he found information about [Penetration] inside.
[Penetration]’s effect often depends on the characteristics of the card itself.

[You may have a chance to achieve the purpose of purification]
The essence of the Penetration Chapter is directly pointed out at the beginning.
Then it’s followed by actual cases with theoretical analysis later.
Ree Shil read a few typical examples:
For instance, if a swordsman card has [Penetration] effect, find a suitable sword scabbard card to combine with it, and the effect can be removed.
However, sword scabbard cards are hard to obtain, so the card player in the case did it by combining a wood card, a material card, and a formula scroll to create a sword scabbard card.
Another example: if a cannon card has [Penetration] effect, find a rust water card to combine with it, and the effect can be removed.
These cases seem very simple at first glance.
However, the book dedicates a considerable amount of space just to analyzing how to create suitable sword scabbard cards based on the characteristics of that swordsman card.
Many large sections of theory are explained.
As for the theory, Ree Shil chose to skip over it.
Because he has a cheat, he doesn’t need to read.
After reading all the cases in the Penetration Chapter, he now had a clearer idea.
"The [Penetration] effect of this monkey is from the fist, so if I make a pair of boxing gloves or shackles, I can limit its fists."
"Maybe it will remove [Penetration]."
He doesn’t have direct boxing glove or shackle cards.
However, he has one card with gloves and one with shackles.
Neither of these cards can directly combine with [Martial Fighting Monkey], so they can’t immediately fuse.
So, the first thing he needs to do is to change these two cards and see if he can improve their compatibility with [Martial Fighting Monkey].
First, take a look at these two cards.
[Let Me Out!]
The projection of the first card is an ant-man locked in a tiny prison cell.
He has shackles on his hands and paces restlessly inside the cell.
Not only are his hands shackled, but his ankles are also bound by an iron chain connected to a large iron ball.
[Antman Prisoner]
Listening to the Wind, 20 points, C
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/2
[Overload - Passive]: Antman Prisoner can act once every 2 rounds
[Free Spirit - Passive]: Antman Prisoner does not recover energy when standing still
This card was drawn from the [Source of Pollution] Instance and should be a corrupted patient who was locked up.
