Li Ang’s gaze did not linger on the cards; he released his Spiritual Energy and scanned Wang Congshan’s consciousness multiple times to confirm her physical and mental status was not problematic.

The results from the surrounding monitoring equipment also showed everything was normal.

Many Strength Seeds in the battlefield game inherently contain some basic memory fragments that teach fundamental usage methods.

However, there are also certain Strength Seeds that are more dangerous or contain traps.

It’s best to be cautious.

"I’m fine."

Wang Congshan smiled slightly, furrowing her brow as she said, "I saw some memories in the Sparks.

They pertain to the essence of Traveling Mages, usage of Sparks, and channels for upgrading."

Wang Congshan slowly began to narrate; from the memory fragments she accessed,

Traveling Mage is not so much a profession as it is... a unique quality, similar to the caliber of a player.

They are able to interact with the source forces of different worlds, and travel through various times and spaces,

almost all Traveling Mages spend their lives exploring endless unknown worlds,

observing, recording, experiencing, and contemplating all they encounter, using the experiences and knowledge acquired along the way to enhance themselves — and this is precisely the source of a Traveling Mage’s power.

"The essence of Traveling Mage’s power is recording, learning, and observation."

Wang Congshan contemplated and said, "A Traveling Mage can sketch most of the things they have observed and deeply understood,

and engrave them into cards.

In combat, the Traveling Mage only needs to draw and use cards to obtain energy, summon creatures, form barriers, and release spells, etc."

She picked up a card,

seeing light flow on its front, colors shift like slowly changing ink, attempting to form some kind of pattern but not succeeding.

"In terms of types, cards can be divided into categories like [Land], [Creature], [Divine Artifact], [Traveling Mage], [Spell], [Instant], [Legendary], [Barrier], and so forth.

Land cards are the unique natural spectacles a Traveling Mage has encountered,

such as plains, islands, mountains, forests, swamps, and even rarer places like Frostforest Waterfall, Sulfur Snow Marsh, Snowfield Pit.

Land cards are the source of a Traveling Mage’s energy, with basic land cards producing 1 unit of energy periodically, while advanced land cards may have some special effects.

The variety of [Creatures] is even broader, including Giant Dragons, insects, Ghosts, warriors, and Mages, even demons and Angels.

Traveling Mages can summon these creatures from cards using the cost produced by land cards.

[Spell] consumes cost to produce magical effects,

[Instant] is an instant-cast spell, whereas [Barrier] is a long-lasting spell that affects the battlefield.

[Divine Artifact] is a device of extreme mystery, containing terrifying power. It can be a weapon, a vehicle, or a living organism or a constructed entity.

As for [Traveling Mage]... as the name implies, the Traveling Mage can project their own power into cards to deploy in the battlefield.

Since Traveling Mage is more akin to a quality rather than a profession,

many Traveling Mages have an additional power system, such as Mage, Psychic, Bloodline Sorcerer, or warrior, etc."

Wang Congshan paused, turned the cards over in her hand, and slowly said, "Also, have you noticed these five different colored dots on the back of the card?

In the world of Traveling Mage, everything can be categorized into five colors or factions.

The five colors are white, blue, black, red, and green.

White represents justice, symbolizing law, order, and organization.

Blue represents wisdom, symbolizing strategy, trickery, and cunning.

Black represents ambition, symbolizing death, disease, and decay, and sometimes enabling the revival of the dead.

Red represents chaos, symbolizing wild, unrestrained energy.

Green represents nature, symbolizing growth, life, restoration, healing, and brute force.

Almost all cards, including land cards, have their colors,

for example, a basic white plain periodically only produces 1 unit of white energy,

a basic blue island periodically produces 1 unit of blue energy.

Some [Creature] and [Spell] cards have mandatory requirements for energy attributes,

for instance, the creature named ’Bird Hunter’ that requires a total of 2 points of cost mandatorily needs 1 point of cost with a white energy attribute, and any other point of energy with an attribute.

Additionally, there is an attribute called colorless, which is not restricted by color."

Wang Congshan hesitated, "Due to differences in personality, experiences, and talents,

each Traveling Mage’s traits vary.

Generally speaking, a Traveling Mage would specialize in one to three color attributes, building their deck around them.

As for me... perhaps white or blue?"

Li Ang squinted his eyes, "Perhaps?"

"Because I am not yet a formal Traveling Mage, only an apprentice who has awakened talent, so I also don’t know which color I lean toward."

Wang Congshan grimaced, "Moreover, my current Spirit Energy Value and knowledge,

seemingly aren’t sufficient for engraving cards."

"Alright."

Li Ang nodded, but inwardly he relaxed quite a bit.

His intuition was correct; the future and depth of the Traveling Mage quality are not inferior to various battlefield game power systems, including the Path to Divinity.

After binding the residual Sparks of the Traveling Mage, Wang Congshan’s personal panel did not change, the next step is to continue binding the [Axis Cube].

Li Ang and the medical team from the Special Affairs Bureau retreated below the platform,

Wang Congshan took a deep breath, and took out the slowly rotating pitch-black Axis Cube, confirming the binding in her consciousness interface.

Click—

The Axis Cube abruptly stopped spinning, slowly floating at Wang Congshan’s fingertips, then suddenly shattered.

Bang!

The Axis Cube exploded and decomposed into thousands of tiny cubes, floating around Wang Congshan, orbiting and drifting like they have life, slightly fluctuating with her heartbeat.

"..."

Confusion flashed across Wang Congshan’s eyes, her fingers instinctively waved down.

The floating cube particles immediately gathered into shape, transforming into a Magic Cube Factory comprised of intricate components, freely falling toward the platform.

Thump.

The Magic Cube Factory landed on the platform, instantly expanding, extending, spreading,

with visible speed, it consumed and decomposed the metallic surface of the circular platform.

Sensing the special condition, the experimental center’s alarm system triggered automatically, red alert lights flashing on, resonating with harsh sirens across several floors above and below.

Only then did Wang Congshan react, waving her palm upward, urgently stopping the Axis Cube’s decomposition of the circular platform.

The Magic Cube Factory reluctantly detached from the circular platform, floating mid-air,

its assembly line discharged a heap of meticulously crafted metal components similar in style to the Magic Cube Factory, crashing to the ground.

"I’m fine, I’m fine."

Wang Congshan told Li Ang and the others who hurried over, "The binding was successful."

In her equipment, the words "Axis Cube" appeared prominently. After the binding was completed, more information about this equipment was displayed.

"The Axis Cube has a devouring attribute and cannot coexist with other equipment items. Any equipment item on the player with mystery lower or equal to the Axis Cube will be devoured by it.

However, the Axis Cube also possesses two functions: production and storage,

the user needs to consume spiritual energy, designating the Axis Cube to devour items containing extraordinary elements, which can then produce equipment with the properties of the Axis Cube.

And when retrieving items stored in the cube, spiritual energy is also required."

Wang Congshan slowly said, "The total amount of my spiritual energy value is about 900 points, and I can smelt and forge up to two rare level or one excellent level equipment items at most."

"Hmm..."

Li Ang pondered for a moment and took out a rare level hammer from his bag.

The hammer’s design was unremarkable, just a common right-angle claw hammer seen on the market. The head embedded with a strong magnet able to attract nails, and the handle was wrapped in alternating purple and green plastic.

From the color, it looked somewhat like an EVA Unit-01 collaboration model.

This hammer, called the "Opportunist Repair Hammer," produced from a Forging Furnace by the Alchemy Workshop, was of ordinary quality and had an effect of "a 50% probability of causing double damage when directly hitting the back of a humanoid target’s head."

In the hands of low-level players, this equipment might work wonders,

but now Li Ang is completely unimpressed with mere double damage—the hammer’s hardness was no better than his fists, and a punch was much more effective than swinging the hammer.

"Here, let the Axis Cube assimilate and reforge this hammer and give it a try."

Li Ang handed the hammer to Wang Congshan, who took it, furrowing her brows. She took a deep breath, releasing spiritual power and directing the Magic Cube Factory to move toward the hammer.

Crack, crack.

The Magic Cube Factory devoured the hammer, with sounds of engines starting and slicing and reforging reverberating inside,

Two minutes later, a finely crafted hammer, starkly different from its previously crude appearance, was spat out from the assembly line of the Axis Cube.

[Name: Axis·Opportunist Repair Hammer]

[Type: Secondary Creation]

[Quality: Rare]

[Special Effect: Power Headshot. Has a 50% chance to deal double damage when hitting a humanoid target’s weak point directly. When hitting the head, there is a 30% chance to stun the opponent.]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Equipment Conditions: None]

[Remark: The stun effect of Power Headshot depends on the opponent’s body strength. The stronger the physique of the attacked, the shorter the stun duration.]

[Remark: Axis Cube creations will lose their mystery when away from the cube for a while, until re-entering Axis Cube]

[Remark: As an auto mechanic, carrying a hammer is logical.]

"Is this considered a slight upgrade?"

Li Ang’s eyes lit up, the new repair hammer had an added passive effect [Probability to stun when hitting the head],

Previously, only hitting the back of the head had a chance of dealing double damage.

Now, as long as the weak point is hit, there is a chance to trigger it.

The judgment range has expanded considerably.

"Phew..."

After controlling the cube to produce creations, Wang Congshan’s face turned slightly pale, "The reforging consumed 500 points of my spiritual energy value.

Now, this equipment can’t be stored in the bag, it can only be placed into the Axis Cube,

and retrieving it requires consuming 50 points of spiritual energy."

She has not yet studied energy systems like ripples, and her total spiritual energy is limited, still unable to casually forge equipment.

In the following time, Wang Congshan continuously experimented with the effects of the Axis Cube.

After equipping the Axis Cube, her inventory equivalent to became obsolete,

any equipment item she came into contact with would attract the devouring of the Axis Cube.

After experimentation, some items receive enhancements after being reforged by the Axis Cube,

such as this "Opportunist Repair Hammer."

Whereas some other items undergo a certain degree of weakening.

For example, the miniature life potion, which in its usual state can heal serious injuries of a living body.

However, after being reforged by the Axis Cube,

a prefix was added to the miniature life potion,

its effect changed to only be able to heal injuries on Axis creations,

becoming completely ineffective when given to common people.

However, at the same time, the Axis Cube contains an otherworldly space, its overall capacity is determined by the user’s maximum spiritual energy,

its capacity is far greater than the fixed slots of an inventory bag.

Even without the inventory bag, it can carry items.

Considered both advantageous and disadvantageous.

The process of experimental exploration continued from morning to night,

after confirming that Wang Congshan didn’t suffer any physical and mental issues due to binding these two items,

the think tank of the Special Affairs Bureau proposed one plan scheme after another,

Selecting from the warehouse the most suitable equipment items for the current stage for Wang Congshan for reforging by the Axis Cube.

Including but not limited to full-cover armor, basic assault rifle, a complete set of soldier survival equipment, scout drones, etc.

And as compensation,

Wang Congshan is required to periodically hand over the cast items to the equipment development department of the Special Affairs Bureau for analysis,

and the participation of the think tank is also needed in regards to researching and deciphering the essence of the Axis Cube—it’s a logistical item with unlimited potential,

if its mysteries could be deciphered, it would bring a lot of benefits to the Special Affairs Bureau.

After negotiating all this,

the Special Affairs Bureau and Wang Congshan signed a contract protected by the power of the killing field game, ensuring fair rights for both parties.

In the following period of time,

Wang Congshan continued to explore the capabilities of a traveling mage.

Since the Axis Cube was already bound to her personally under System power,

therefore, it didn’t take much effort for her to successfully engrave the Axis Cube as a Divine Artifact card.

The effect is to consume energy to produce cube creations.

Unfortunately, [Land Cards] as the most important energy source in the traveling mage power system, have numerous rule restrictions.

A random piece of land, such as a park, rivers, or lakes in Yin City, cannot be made into Land Cards.

It must be a place with sufficient energy, similar to Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

To assist Wang Congshan in making Land Cards, the Special Affairs Bureau used the teleportation array to take her to famous mountains and great rivers with abundant spiritual energy certified by the Heterodox Academy,

but it still didn’t work, attempts to make land cards always failed at the last step.

According to Wang Congshan’s vague intuition, the land card must be completely hers or be a place where her legendary experiences have occurred.

So it can only be put aside for now.
