Lu Chenxing looked at Little Fatty, a little surprised; he hadn't expected him to be so interested in Card Making. "Why do you want to learn Card Making?"
"I think it's so cool! A small card thrown out can instantly create a world of ice and snow or erupt with lava, just like you, Big Brother, when your flames burst forth, unstoppable!" Little Fatty gesticulated wildly as he spoke, looking truly yearning.
Lu Chenxing hadn't expected that Little Fatty genuinely liked Card Making. He himself only made cards because he wanted to preserve the home his parents left behind, so that if they suddenly returned one day, they could find their way back.
In this regard, Little Fatty was stronger than him.
"What's your name?" Lu Chenxing asked.
Little Fatty immediately said excitedly, "Big Brother, my name is Guo Jiahao! You can just call me Xiao Hao! Big Brother, does this mean you've agreed?"
Hearing this, Lu Chenxing shook his head gently. "Xiao Hao, I can tell your family is probably not ordinary. You should discuss this 'recognizing a big brother' matter with your family. I don't want them to misunderstand anything."
"Secondly, after you awaken, you need to determine if you are suitable for Card Making based on your talent. If you awaken a physical talent, then you are not suitable for Card Making."
As Lu Chenxing spoke, the smile on Guo Jiahao's face gradually faded.
Seeing this, Lu Chenxing finally said, "Also, I actually can't teach you much, because I'm just a beginner myself."
After speaking, Lu Chenxing turned to leave, because he truly felt he couldn't teach Guo Jiahao anything. After all, how would he know how to teach someone Card Making? He himself just used the Copying Technique to copy things directly.
Seeing Lu Chenxing about to leave, Guo Jiahao urgently asked, "Big Brother! Can I come find you after I awaken?"
Lu Chenxing waved his hand without looking back and said, "We'll talk about it after you awaken!"
Little Fatty was only 16 years old this year, still immature in mind. Perhaps in two years, he would forget about this, or his family might stop him. In any case, Lu Chenxing felt he wouldn't come, so he just responded casually and didn't take it to heart.
Walking home, Lu Chenxing wondered if it was his imagination; why were more and more people on the street wearing masks?
Pharmacies all over the street displayed "Masks Sold Out, Cold Medicine Sold Out" signs, which made Lu Chenxing feel something was wrong. Although there had been flu epidemics in previous years, they were always small-scale and quickly resolved by the potions made by Scholars.
"What's going on this year..." Lu Chenxing frowned and quickened his pace towards Super Martial University.
Just as he was about to reach Super Martial University, Lu Chenxing suddenly stopped, frowning as he looked at a small figure in front of him.
It was a little girl, about five or six years old. She should have been lively and adorable, but her condition at the moment was very abnormal: her face was pale, her steps were unsteady, there was a layer of cold sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were unfocused, as if she could no longer see clearly.
"Is it the flu? This child isn't wearing a mask..." Lu Chenxing saw her abnormal condition and was about to inquire, but before he could, the little girl suddenly collapsed to the ground, having lost consciousness and fainted.
Some people around also noticed this scene and gathered around, all wearing masks and discussing amongst themselves.
"This child is so young, why is she fainting alone on the street?"
"What should we do? I've already called 120, but this child's situation seems very grim?"
"Are there any professional healers or support-type Awakened ones? Come help take a look!"
Just then, a steady yet young male voice rang out: "Hello, please move aside, I'll take a look."
The person who spoke was Lu Chenxing. Although he had suffered from others' malice, he never stinted on his kindness towards others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have transmigrated to this world in his previous life for saving a drowning child.
Hearing the voice, the crowd made way, looking at Lu Chenxing's young face. Someone questioned, "He looks so young, can he do it?"
"Then why don't you?"
"It's not about me, it's just that I think it's better to wait for professional medical personnel?"
"Damn it, this little girl has already fainted, what if they don't make it in time?"
Lu Chenxing ignored the surrounding voices, simply walked over to the little girl, squatted down, and reached out to feel the artery in her neck.
Her skin was burning hot, and her heart rate was very high. Lu Chenxing touched her forehead again; the temperature was even higher, clearly indicating that her fainting was due to a high fever.
Seeing that the little girl was already showing signs of slight convulsions, Lu Chenxing knew he couldn't wait any longer. Perhaps he wasn't very knowledgeable about treating illnesses and saving people, but how could magic be so inconvenient!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chenxing had an idea. He immediately activated the Weaving effect and silently recited:
"Mix magic power and mental power to perform a status Probing Technique on the target. Classify the probed statuses into three categories: buff, debuff, and normal. Consumption increases with the target's strength. If the target's strength is too great, the spell fails. This is Probing Technique."
A bit of magic power was consumed, the logic was established, the Weaving effect took effect, and Probing Technique was generated!
The smooth generation was due to a trick Lu Chenxing discovered when he was pondering new spells at the Card Maker Association: the effects of the spell must be balanced, so that the spell can be considered logically sound.
Just like everything in the world has two sides, where there is sunlight, there will inevitably be shadows.
As the Probing Technique was cast, mental power and pure attribute-less magic power extended out, covering the little girl's body. A moment later, a conclusion was reached: Weakness (debuff), High Fever (debuff), Faint (debuff), Confusion (debuff), Viral Invasion (debuff), Dying (normal).
The Probing Technique revealed a total of six statuses; except for 'Dying,' all were debuff statuses. So Lu Chenxing immediately activated the Weaving effect again.
"Set up a spell with both light and water attributes, capable of dispelling all statuses on the target except for normal statuses, whether they are buffs or debuffs! Consumption is calculated based on the target's specific strength. If the target's strength is too great, the spell is ineffective!"
The Weaving effect was activated again. This time, the magic power consumption was a bit more than when Probing Technique was generated, but not excessively so. The spell was once again generated successfully!
Lu Chenxing didn't hesitate at all and immediately cast the spell on the fainted little girl. Pure light and water elements generated between Lu Chenxing's hands, forming a ball of light that gently floated down and then merged into the little girl's body.
One second later, light and water elements surged out from the girl's body!
