While waiting for Sarah's arrival I turned to Vivian and asked, "Did you memorize the process of card creation?"

"... I'm sorry, boss. I didn't." Vivian answered dejectedly.

"No problem." I didn't expect Vivian to memorize my process of card creation, but it doesn't hurt to ask. If she were to answer positively then I would have a card creation prodigy amongst my calamity daughter gems.

My process of card creation was heavily dependent on the use of my soul pupils, it would be hard for a regular card apprentice to follow so I wasn't surprised to hear Vivian say that she could not memorize my process of card creation. But I had to find a solution for this as I was hoping Vivian would take up the Blow-up doll cards business.

As Vivian only knew the basics of card creation for her to learn my process of Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit card creation I would have to dumb it down. Especially how I arranged a mini trap array in the core to capture the living slime spirit this was unnecessary, I need to optimize my card creation process by decreasing its complexity and creation cost.

The solution I came up with is the Card Template, a step-by-step instruction manual to create a card. This is not to be mistaken with card recipes.

Card recipes just involve the ingredients required for card creation and the formula on how to use them. This formula will yield results depending upon the user's proficiency in card creation. But Card Templates have precise instructions down to the soul pathways and arrangements as long as one follows these instructions to the dot then they would be able to create the card without much effort. Here the proficiency of the user in card creation will not matter. Because they would be following an absolute guide to successful card creation.

The card template will have the recording of how I use my mental strength to arrange the soul pathways and the soul pathway arrangements. And be shared directly to Vivian's mind using Hive AI. Vivian doesn't need to know why I did what I did. All she had to do was retrace what I did with my mental strength using her mental strength and she will not be alone in this process, Hive AI will be there to assist her. With enough practice, Vivian should be able to use the card template to create cards with perfect ratings and durability.

"Greetings, Boss." Sarah greeted me as he entered the warehouse. Yes, he. Right now Sarah was in her male form. She had made use of her origin card to take up the male gender. And she was wearing appropriate fitting attire to match her gender.

"How do I address you in your male body? Or do you just go with Sarah…" Sarah was a feminine name since she went through the trouble of changing her gender. I figured she would have a masculine name for her male body.

"Sarah will do, boss," Sarah answered.

"Good, accept my party invitation. I need your assistance with card creation." I ordered Sarah.

"Sure thing, boss. And… accepted." Sarah affirmed.

[Sarah has joined your party.

Total party members: 3]

After Sarah accepted my party invitation I immediately placed the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit card on my card creation page and turned it into its core form and asked Sarah, "Add your Blood Memory rule to the core."

"Right away." Saying that Sarah made use of her blood rule to male a copy of her blood memory rune and transferred it into the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit core.

Next, I merged the blood memory rune to the soul pathways of the already existing blood memory skill of the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit enhancing the ability of blood memory to allow its user experience the memories of the Monster's blood it feeds on. This way the enchanted blood slime spirit would be as skilled and experienced to use the cloned abilities as the original.

The Blood memory skill that the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit had was only limited to memorizing the appearance and abilities of the original monster by feeding on its blood but now the modified Blood memory can experience and learn from the memories of the original monster by feeding on its blood.

After that, I decided to add the blood fate plunder rune to the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit. I had already decided to keep this card for my personal use. So I decided to enhance its overall combat power by adding the fate plunder rune to it.

Transferring a copy of the Blood fate plunder rune into the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit core, I rearranged the soul pathways to incorporate the Blood fate plunder ability into the Enchanted Blood Slime Spirit summon. This way the summons can permanently steal the abilities or physique of its prey. Later, I morphed the core back to card form.

Card creation successful.
