“Ms Susan I know it’s not my place but since time is of the essence I risk being rude and kindly ask you to share the list with my Secretary whatever you are unable to procure at Guild Association Mall she will try to get them through my contacts.” Elliott considered Eliza Whiteburn a good friend, as she was one of those who respected him for his powers instead of pitying and underestimating him for his genetic disease.
For someone who yearned for recognition his whole life, Eliza’s acknowledgement meant a lot to him, if this acknowledgement were from somebody normal in status and average in appearance it would not have meant that much but being acknowledged by the future head of the Whiteburn family and world-class beauty meant the world for Elliot and made him want to struggle harder from ill clutches of destiny. Therefore when opportunity provided itself for him to help his friend Elliott did not hesitate.
“No Mr Elliott don’t say that, I should thank you instead, for helping me. I think it will be a wonderful opportunity for me to follow Ms Karen, I bet I can learn a lot from her.” Susan was disappointed in herself first the teenagers mocked her for her appearance and attire now it turns out the career for which she gave less importance to her outer beauty and health, she was lacking at it. Susan’s confidence took a huge hit but she did not allow herself to drown in self-pity but decided to follow Karen and learn what she lacks from her, so Susan did not hesitate and sent the ingredient list to Karen and then followed her lead. Soon the list of ingredients was circulated to Elliot and Amy.
“WTF are you building? You do remember you were asked to build armour, not a freaking black steel Castle ?” Elliot asked in surprise and astonishment, even Amy looked at me with a doubtful gaze, feeling her doubt I assured her by saying, ” do not worry you will get your money’s worth.”

Pax Godson for a 16-year-old he is already a card scholar with 29% active soul control and contracted a silver grimoire on his first try. He was the perfect example of what proper guidance and unlimited wealth and resources can achieve. While the rest of the people are still struggling to contract a bronze grimoire at his age he was preparing to break through to card soldier which most card apprentice’s fail to achieve in their entire life.
Pax is just a descendant of a lesser family in sky blossom city and achieved these results than what about the descendants of big families in the capital and the secret clans, families and sect, they must be monsters compared to Pax in everything be it in talent or strength. It was becoming clear to me that be it personal strength or reputation I was very lacking and I would be a fool to think that I could compete with these big families and secret clans alone, no matter how many good cards I create or even copyright huge amount of card recipe, in the end, I will still not be a match to the cumulative strength of these big and secret clans, families and sect.
Realising this I understood the importance of creating my second origin card, this card had to be perfect, the plan I had for it made it perfect but every time I think this should be enough the reality would always slap me hard on the face just like today we’re I understood that individual power would be very lacking compared to the accumulative power of an organisation.
There are many races with better physique, strength, bloodline, genes and traits given to them by birth compared to a human but still to date humans were able to survive because what the humans lack in natural gifts made up with their numbers and accumulated strength over the years. This is why humans have always been able to be on the top of the food chain even though there are a lot of stronger creatures in the world. This theory has been proven by brave humans time and again. I was also human and I will not make the same mistake as the other creatures, alone I was bound to fail sooner or later.
Black steel ore is $1,000 per kg but when it is converted to a card then a kg of black steel costs $10,000. Since I was buying 60 tonnes each card contained a tonne of black steel but the price remained the same.
High spit firestone costs near $20,000 but a High Spit Firestone card costs $200,000. High spit firestone card came with an inbuilt industry-grade furnace, this furnace is mostly used by card creationist association for special kind of card labs that are meant only for smelting soul pathways and creating item cards.
Each vial of E-rank Metal tooth slime essence costs $10,000 per vial which is not cost-efficient to be turned into a card as no one will be willing to pay 10 times the price except for the card creationist guilds and other companies which create cards in bulk in limited time. Therefore 1000 vials of E-rank Metal tooth slime essence is turned into a card and the cost of each vial increases to $100,000.
E-rank Metal Tooth Slime Core costs around $10,000 but when a single core is converted to a card its price rises to $100,000.
A single vial of F-rank Black Iron Bug essence costs $1000 similar to the E-rank Metal tooth slime essence, it is not cost-effective to turn a single vial of F-rank Black Iron Bug essence into the card. Therefore the 1000 vials of F-rank Black Iron Bug essence used to turn into a card and its cost increases to $10,000 per vial.
F-rank Black Iron Bug core costs $1000 per core and when converted to a card its cost rises to $10,000.
E-rank High Wood Wisp core costs $10,000 per core but when converted to a card each E-rank High Wood Wisp core costs $100,000.

“Fuck!” I shouted seeing the bill. After paying for the ingredients my gross profit was just 10 soul jades, of which 34% will be paid as tax and leaving me with 6 soul jades and some change in cash.
Since it was a huge order the bill was settled using soul jades. each soul jade was exchanged at $300million thankfully it was a black market and were willing to exchange at the black market exchange rate. otherwise, each soul jade would be sold for $100million at another legal outlet, and we would not have been able to buy all the required ingredients, let alone my cut of the profit.
Hearing me curse Amy once again tried to reassure me by saying, “Mr Wyatt please do not worry about your fees I promise when our family conflicts are resolved and the situation gets better I will personally pay you 101 soul jades as a fee. Please be rest assured and give it your all creating this card.”
