Chapter 161 – Vampire Blood Card

“That’s right!” Mo Lan said. “If you run into any difficulties, feel free to come discuss them with me!”
This was probably going to be her biggest channel partner in the future—she had to take good care of this relationship!
“Mm!” Sylph had noticed it too. Things she’d been puzzling over without any clue, Mo Lan had solved in an instant.
“What about me, what about me! My Sorceress Magic needs to be sold by different races, so what about the cards?” Lilith asked.
“Obviously, you’d sell blood that’s already been analyzed and processed, ready to be injected into the body and fused using your blood fusion spell!” Mo Lan said.
“It works on the same principle as Lady Carmela’s contract book cards. Your blood cards would be prepared for people who don’t have the strength to obtain blood from the corresponding race themselves.
Lower-tier racial blood might be relatively easy to obtain, but what about higher-tier racial blood?
Setting aside whether you even have the strength to get it—just finding the target is hard enough.
And obtaining blood through those channels might even lead to retaliation.
But with blood cards, there’s nothing to worry about.
Since it’s only analyzed and processed blood, it won’t affect the sales of your blood fusion spell itself.
As for the analysis magic, I’d suggest you stop selling it publicly. That way, anyone who wants to fuse blood will have no choice but to buy cards, so you’ll never have trouble selling them.
Set up card pools and card tiers for the blood cards. Your contractors will need to spend permanent Mana to unlock higher-tier card pools and blood card purchasing privileges. This way, with just one analysis magic, you can sell both permanent Mana and single-use Mana—earning far more than simply selling the analysis magic alone.”
Mo Lan was truly putting herself in their shoes—after all, the more they earned, the bigger her share of the profits. Everyone gets rich on Mana together.
Lilith was dumbstruck. She’d thought selling blood fusion spell by race was already the best way to maximize her Sorceress Magic’s value. She never imagined she could split off the analysis function and sell it together with blood as cards. “You really are something else!”
“So are you in or not?” Mo Lan asked.
“I’m in! Absolutely in!” Lilith said. “I’m sick of never having enough Mana to spend!
But… the only Vampire blood I’ve fused so far was obtained by specifically requesting a parcel delivery channel from the Headmistress. My dad draws his own blood every month and sends it to me, stored in a magic crystal vial with preservation functions. It has to be fresh enough to use.
Where am I supposed to get that much ready-made blood for you to turn into cards?”
“From now on, you only need to provide me a single drop of each race’s blood. Once I feed it to the Book of Cards, it can produce blood cards.
I’ve tested it—the Book of Cards can create anything except souls, as long as the knowledge requirements and sufficient energy supply are met. Anything can be made into a card.” Mo Lan said.
“What? It’s that powerful?” Lilith patted her robe pocket. “Ah! I didn’t bring the blood vial. Wait here, I’ll go get it!”
In the time it took Mo Lan to blink, a red blur flashed past, and the chair beside her was empty.
Carmela stroked her chin. “Was that the Vampire’s super-speed ability?”
The words had barely left her mouth when the dormitory door creaked open, and there was one more person at the table.
Lilith was back. “That’s right! It’s the second bloodline ability I extracted from Vampire blood. The first was self-healing.”
She placed the magic crystal vial in her hand in front of Mo Lan. “Try it and see if you can make a semi-finished blood card?”
Mo Lan nodded, summoned the Book of Cards, and poured the blood from the crystal vial into the card slot before beginning to design the card.
【Card Slot: Vampire Blood Card – Apprentice Level – Super Speed (Semi-finished)】
【Estimated Cost: 100 Mana】【Estimated Function: Touch this card with the Bloodthirst Needle and inject an appropriate amount of Mana to complete the card’s missing elements, turning it into a complete {Vampire Blood Card – Apprentice Level Super Speed}.
Using the complete {Vampire Blood Card – Apprentice Level – Super Speed} yields a portion of analyzed and processed blood. Inject it into the body using the blood fusion spell, and upon reaching a certain stage, you can acquire the super-speed ability of an Apprentice-level Vampire.】
Just as Mo Lan had expected, it was feasible.
She produced a semi-finished blood card and handed it to Lilith. “Give it a try!”
Lilith took the card, touched it with the Bloodthirst Needle, and injected Mana. The card became complete.
But she didn’t inject it into herself. Instead, she wrote up a contract and slapped it down in front of Mo Lan. “Apprentice-level Vampire blood fusion spell—only 3 permanent Mana! Do you want it? I happen to have a complete blood card right here!”
“…” Mo Lan looked at this contract, her expression souring.
Was Lilith using the very strategy she’d devised against her?
Wouldn’t that mean from now on, whenever she wanted to buy her seniors’ Sorceress Magic, she’d be bleeding Mana too?
“Come on, do you want it or not! It’s only 3 Mana—the same price as your Card Magic. Super cheap!
The Vampire’s super speed is really impressive too. With it, we won’t have to worry about enemies closing in on us while casting!”
Lilith continued her sales pitch. “You’ve sold so many Card Magic contracts already. You can’t be stingy about 3 Mana, can you?”
“Who says I’m being stingy! I’ll buy it! Fine, I’ll buy it!” Mo Lan signed the contract with the Golden Pen Technique.
The contract was established. After retracting the golden pen, she flipped her hand, and an injector similar to Lilith’s Bloodthirst Needle appeared in her hand.
However, this injector was a bit smaller and thinner than her senior’s Bloodthirst Needle, and not quite as refined.
She used the {Vampire Blood Card – Apprentice Level Super Speed}. A blob of blood appeared, and she used the Levitation Spell to float the blood into a ceramic bowl.
Then she drew the blood up with the injector. “Where do I inject it? A vein?”
“What vein? Just jab it into your arm or wherever. Doesn’t matter.” Lilith said.
Mo Lan: “…”
That casual about it? Was this even reliable?
“Really! This is how I always do it!” Lilith said, picking up her own Bloodthirst Needle. There was still some previously stored, pre-analyzed blood inside.
She just jabbed it hard into her arm, pushed the plunger all the way down, then pulled it out.
It even sent an arc of blood spraying out.
So fast that Mo Lan didn’t even have time to stop her. She only felt something wet on her face.
She touched it with her hand. Blood.
“Sorry about that! Got some on you! It doesn’t splash this much every time. Let me clean you up!”
Lilith drew her Wand and cast a Cleaning spell, removing all the bloodstains.
Including those on Mo Lan’s face and hands.
She held out the arm she’d injected for Mo Lan to see. “See? All better! It’s fine. Even though you don’t have a Vampire’s self-healing ability, your needle is smaller than mine. Just poke yourself—the wound won’t be very big. And even with bad luck, it won’t bleed that much! Back when I didn’t have self-healing either, I injected the same way and nothing went wrong!”
