…

The new VR card I created was called the VR-Slime. It was not an actual slime but a card created using Slime’s mucus aka slime as one of the ingredients and most of its effects were derived from a slime hence the name.

This card met all my milestones for it, from card cost to card rank to card rate to card effects, this card was everything I hoped for. Especially its three card effects Soul Energy Digestion, Diamond Cover, and Enhanced Recovery. 

However, there was a variation, two of these three effects were kind of passive effects. Meaning they passively activated when the user’s physical body was within the VR-Slime and would not take effect when the user was outside. Even the one passive effect that was in effect all time was more efficient when the user was within the VR-Slime. 

I needed the additional effects of the card to be passive so that the card apprentice will not unequip the VR-Slime card if they did not plan to visit the VR-Universe for the day as they wanted the passive effect of the VR-Slime card however things did not turn that way. 

Still, the two effects of the VR-Slime cards, Soul energy digestion, and Diamond cover, should be enough reason for the card apprentice to equip the card all the time. After all, if a low-level card apprentice planned to use the Diamond cover against ambush they will have to keep the card equipped. 

As for the Soul Energy Digestion effect of the VR-Slime card, this effect was something even mid and high-level card apprentices will covet. As this effect will allow them to digest the soul energy in the monster meat they eat more efficiently. 

Monster meat is a huge industry that I wanted to take a crack at with my meat processing plant cards but did not due to the complications involved. There were many reasons why the Monster meat industry was flourishing, one of them was that monster meat contains soul energy which we can gain by feeding on them, however, the human digestive system is not efficient in divesting soul energy so most of the soul energy in the monster meat goes to waste. 

For many millennia many have thought of creating a card that will increase the soul energy digestion capability of the human digestive system but unfortunately, none have come close to creating one for a long time until recently a certain researcher did such a card, however, the card he created was of S-rank and cost a fortune. 

Regardless of its cost, due to its rank the card only tended to high-level card apprentices. As for the low-rank and middle-rank card apprentices, they weren’t lucky and were still waiting their turn. 

So some researchers have theorized various exercises and homemade concoctions for low-level card apprentices to increase the soul energy digestion ability of their human digestive system. However, many of these exercises and concoctions have claimed to show incredible and record-breaking results but none have been able to show any significant evidence to back their claims. 

However, what they could not achieve has been achieved by my VR-Slime card today. 

This might not be a big deal for high-level card apprentices but it was for low-level and Middle-level card apprentices. Especially the low-level card apprentice. As the soul energy digested through peak low-level and beginner low monster meat would easily help them break through a small realm in their active soul control percentage. 

I was very satisfied by the soul energy digestion effect of the VR Slime card because even if people did not want to or had no plans about exploring the VR-Universe they will still buy this card just for its additional effect. 

Yes, this was why I added a ground-breaking effect such as the soul energy digestion to the VR Card. People will come for the enhanced digestion effect of the card and stay for VR-Universe. 

All in all, now every card apprentice had no choice but to get a VR-Slime card for themselves.

To be honest, the Diamond Slime’s mucus had another amazing effect that would make a good addition to the VR-Slime card however I did not dare to add it to the card. 

The effect I was talking about was the ability of the diamond Slime mucus to absorb the surrounding soul energy and digest it for the slime. 

If I were to add this ability to the card and release it in the market I would shake the entire world and then what followed next would not be within my control. 

I guess it would not go that far as the Southern royal family would imprison me in some dungeon before I introduce that card to the world. 

So to ensure a bright and free future for myself I only added the soul energy digestion part of that ability and deleted the soul energy absorption part of the ability. 

I could have achieved the idea that one’s physical body was absorbing the soul energy and cultivating its active soul energy while its consciousness was playing in VR-Universe, but this idea was too advanced for the current world to handle so I had to tone down. 

The Enhanced recovery ability was good too. Well, the idea that while your consciousness enjoyed a fully immersive illusion when your body recovered to its peak state was good too. 

Shaking my head I supervised the card creation array formations and seeing the production of VR-Slime cards was going without a hitch I summoned my grimoire.

Till the auction starts I was free, nobody would come to disturb me so I decided to use this time to visit the inter-realm city of the devil merchant code, to be precise the sector ES0012. 

After checking up on the production of liquid rule power, I planned to take advantage of sector ES0012’s rule power to achieve the ultimate understanding of my blood rule’s blood fate plunder meaning and move on to comprehend the next meaning of the blood rule that seemed to be connected to my calamity soul gem in ways I am yet to discover. 

It’s about time to focus on my personal growth. I could break through to the card master realm any time but I did not because I wanted to open the next transformation of my calamity soul gem before I entered the card master realm. So that I can make full use of the baptism that would follow once I step into the card master realm. 

I cannot imagine what changes will follow once my calamity soul gem undergoes baptism however I can make sure that it was its best when undergoing the baptism to get the best results. My ambitions were too big and my origin card calamity soul gem was the best tool in my toolbox to help me fulfill my ambitions. 

Opening the devil merchant codex pages, I choose to enter the inter-realm city, sector ES0012

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Do you want to enter Inter-realm city sector ES0012? 

(Yes/No)

Note: You are entering a recommended sector so standard offering practice will be followed.]

“Yes” 

[Dear Demon Merchant, 

Using spirit transfer array to travel to sector ES0012…

Note: Spirit transfer array takes the demon merchant’s spiritual body that has entered it and transfers them to the inter-realm city.]

[Dear Demon Merchant, 

Welcome to sector ES0012…

Note: Behave.]

Soon I was carried through a white tunnel by an invisible force, getting out of it I appeared next to a fountain. I looked at my warehouse in the sector ES0012 from where I stood, and it was just like I left it. It was still barren land without a single property or any sign of development. 

Before heading towards my warehouse I walked the fountain in search of the young Redfoot demon merchant from the Red Alps realm. 

No surprise, I found him sleeping soundly on the other side of the fountain. Knowing that it was sensitive even in its sleep I did not stare for long and headed toward my warehouse not planning to disturb the sleep of the young Redfoot since I could not communicate with him yet as I haven’t mastered his native language.
