Chapter 25: Vehicle Item Card

Date 20 Mar 2321

Time 14:45

Location Sky Blossom city, Guild Association Mall, Barbeque

Eating the last monster leg, I looked at Susan who was sulking for not eating fast enough.

"Remind me not to go out for barbeque with you again, you eat like a hunger ghost incarnation."

"I am doing you a favour, a lady should watch what she eats."

"What did you say to me?!"

"Ahem! Nothing, You know which card has high returns? I am thinking about mass producing these cards to make up for the rest of the money for the E rank ingredients."

Even though I made more than 6 million in this auction it wasn't enough to pay for all the ingredients and copyrights for 50 E rank cards.

"It is obvious, storage trunk and vehicle cards of mortal grade. These cards have a huge market as they are needed by both card apprentices and mortals."

Storage trunk or vehicle, of the two Storage trunk ingredients, were cheaper, all it needed was a working trunk and a mortal core.

But it was harder to create than an E rank card as it is a type of card that can house items within it when it morphs into a card or a trunk.

For the trunk to morph into a card with items in it, it should have all its soul pathway perfectly outlined with no cracks or leaks otherwise it won't morph into a card housing different items.

Due to its difficulties in card creation, this card cost more than the average E rank card. For me, this card was a gold mine, thanks to my Soul Pupils.

As for vehicle cards, they are mortal cards that morph cars into cards, it removes all the disadvantages of owning a car, parking! No need for parking as your car morphed into a card.

This card cost depends on the car used as an ingredient for creating the card. And also because transferring soul pathways of something as huge as a car is very hectic and time-consuming the labour cost on this is very high equal to creating an E rank card even though it's a G rank mortal grade card.

It was obvious which card was perfect for me to mass produce, Storage Trunk.

Storage trunk has various variety like suitcase, briefcase, handbags, school bags, vault etc

But of course the most popular was the Storage trunk because if one has thick skin they can use the storage trunk as all the five mentioned above.

So, I decided on the Storage trunk card for mass production. Creating hundreds of G rank mortal grade cards was nothing for my current mental strength.

"Okay, it settled storage trunk cards! As for ingredients, let's use heavy-duty military-grade trunks, not those cheap trunks."

"Okay, but how many sets of ingredients?"

"Let's start with 100 sets."

"Cough! cough! 100 sets, tell me you are kidding!"

"No, but where are we going to place these 100 trunks?"

"You don't have to worry about that as an associate auction manager I have been allotted a warehouse for my use. I will have them deliver the trunks there."

"I'm... I am thinking about making a car card. Do you want one?"

"No, I don't have enough money to own one right now."

"Okay, when you do, tell me I will create one for you for free. Which car is popular right now?"

"What kind of car are you looking for? SUV, sedan, hunchback, sports, luxury, muscle, truck, convertible, coupe, off-road, which is it?"

"A muscle car! Send me the catalogue, I will choose one."

" I will do you one better, let's go to Guild association garage. I have a friend there, she can hook us up. She is a little passionate about her work so don't mind her when you meet her okay."

"No worries."

"Hi Martha, Wyatt meet Martha. Martha this is Wyatt, my benefactor."

Looking at the tall muscular handsome and hairy woman with the grease-stained uniform and hands in front of me I was speechless. She is passionate about her work I thought.

"Hi Susan, what brings you here? And who is this shorty?" She looked at me as if looking at a love rival.

"Okay listen up you blasphemy of womankind! I am of normal height. It's not my fault that life is unfair to you." Glaring at the gorilla in front of me, I snapped. No man can tolerate being called 'Shorty' by a woman.

"blasphemy of womankind! That's a new one haha, It's decided I will make your skinny @ss my b!tch.!" Martha was enraged but also amused being called blasphemy of womankind! Now that's just creative.

Martha moved to grab me, without cards I was no match for her but I could not bring myself to use cards on a mortal so I backed up.

Thankfully Susan came in front of me, shielding me from the big grease gorilla hands.

"Martha stop it, Wyatt is a friend."

Martha didn't respond to Susan but stopped and taunted me, "shorty! Aren't you a man? hiding behind a woman's back and letting a woman fight your battle, have you no shame?"

"Haha at least I am man enough to get a woman to stand up for me, what about you? No man or woman will willingly stand up for you!"

"Okay, that's it, you... "

"Stop It Both Of You!!" Susan thundered using the voice control card.

My ears buzzed for almost 5seconds.

Looking at me and Martha covering our ears and still muddled, with a devilish smile Susan said " I love using this card, give me a reason to"

Martha snorted at me and turned to Susan and said "Congratulations on becoming an Associate Auction manager."

"Thank you! Tonight dinner at my place."

"Just you and me right"

"Sorry, I invited the whole gang for a celebration."

"What about him?" Asked Martha.

Not waiting for Susan to answer I said "I am not invited…. " Seeing the smile forming on Martha's face I added," She already treated me to a luxury spa package and expensive breakfast."

Martha's eyes widened and she looked at Susan for denial, only to be disappointed as Susan maintained a straight face and said "We came here to buy a car."

Hearing the word car Martha forgot her disappointment and excitedly asked "Is it for you?"

"Aaa... Not for me but him."

"Sorry, we have a minimum height requirement for buying a car here." Said Martha sarcastically.

But I didn't care about her remarks as my eyes were glued to the hoverbike that just passed by the other side of the glass wall of the waiting room.

"I want that!" I said pointing at the hoverbike.

"In your dreams, they are our latest model and not yet out in the market. You could manage to get your hands on one of them if only you knew someone inside."

"Cut the crap, tell me what is it gonna cost me?"

Martha looked at me with a vulgar look which all most made me vomit in disgust. So, I looked at Susan for her help but she shrugged her shoulders in helplessness.

"I will die but not be insulted," I shouted.

Susan and Martha broke into laughter which lasted for few minutes before they finally stopped.

"Martha already has a boyfriend"

"What?! Who is desperate enough to be with her."

"Hey watch it! I am tolerating you because you are with Susan, don't test me!"

"Sorry!" I apologized sincerely as even gorillas have the right to love and be loved.

"That one really, I thought you wanted a muscle car. What happened?"asked Susan

"Muscle car uh! You men and your overcompensation" Said Martha scanning me from head to toe.

I choose to ignore that remark and said "That was before I saw that beauty, it's like love at first sight."

Being an inventor in past life some of my unrequited love was the hovercar and a hover motorcycle. Theoretically, it was possible but experimentally our technology was lacking.

Now that I have finally got a chance to own a hoverbike I could not resist the temptation.

"Hold your horse's lover boy! Remember I told you it's still not in the market!"

"Martha we are not on the best of terms but I want that Motorcycle. Just help me this once I will owe you one"

"You are right we are not on the best of terms but seeing how you are Susan's friend let me give it to you straight, what you just saw was a card ingredient for an E class card recipe of our latest hoverbike.

That ingredient alone will cost you near 350,000$ and if you add other ingredients and card creation labour charges etc it will cost you near 12 million dollars.

Even if you can afford it, it will take a minimum of a week to get you the final card. that is if the card apprentice succeeds in his first try."

"Wait! does that mean, you can get me all the card ingredients and card recipe."

"Yes, are you planning to get outside help for card creation then you have to pay for the copyright but if you create the card yourself for your use then the copyright is free."

We have to pay for copyright when using outside help because the guild wants the customer to choose the guild card apprentices over the freelance Card apprentices but it's okay if the customer himself is going to create the card.

"I will be creating the card myself. how much?"

"If you go with the stock body then it will cost you near 2,150,000$ in total but for the custom body it will cost you from 2,900,000$ to 4,000,000$."

"I will go with the stock body, does it come in black?"

"Stock Black uh! You choose wisely. But you sure you want to take chance with card creation. After all, you are spending a butt load of money."

"Don't worry Martha our Wyatt is a genius when it comes to card creation." Bragged Susan.

"If you say so!" Martha didn't seem to believe Susan's words.


Chapter 26: The 20th

Date 20 Mar 2321

Time 15:45

Location Sky Blossom city, Wyatt Residence

Placing an order for the Hoverbike at Guild Association Garage thanks to Martha, I bid my goodbye to Susan and Martha and headed home. 

Creating 50 F rank cards had me completely drained and running on fumes, if not for cheering Susan and discussing the mass production phase of my plan with her, I wouldn't bother spending another second awake rather than resting. 

All I wanted to do now was to have a good refreshing sleep, but it seems the Five people blocking my house front door had different plans. 

As I reached my home I saw five people blocking no more like guarding my house front door. 

Two people among them seemed familiar, they were the tall and short duo from last time who came to remind me of the money I owe them. 

If I remember correctly I did ask them to come on the 20th and that is today, aren't they punctual. 

As I neared my house I could feel the hostile gaze of the five goons, the tall and short duo hurried towards me shouting, "where have you been you dumbass? You know how long we were waiting for you?" The other three goons still stood laid back as if waiting to watch a show. 

I didn't answer the goons but looked at them blankly. 

"You deaf? Didn't you hear him ask you a question twerp? Or are you just too scared to answer!"

"Hahaha.. Look at his face drained of expression with fright, cousin blame me for having a fierce face. Calm down kid nothing will happen as long you got our money."

"You do have our money right? You better have it otherwise..."

"Enough! Cousin, he will faint if you scare him anymore. Listen up kid we came yesterday evening to inform you about the other procedures my second cousin had to go through and the increase in compensation. But you were out."

Hearing that they came yesterday too, I shook my head in understanding as I took 1,250,000$ from Ben Li, no wonder they came yesterday. 

Running a loan shark, scam and extortion seem to be an easy enough and high yielding business. 

First, you scam the person, then lend the person money with unbelievably high-interest rate and later you extort the money you lent to that person. 

This way you haven't spent a penny and people still owe you a huge sum of money with enormous interest rates. It seems I chose the wrong direction for my money earning plan. 

"Here's the bill kid, 

500,000$ for bone alignment surgery. 

670,000$ for second bone alignment surgery. 

234,000$ for rehabilitation and treatment. 

121,000$ for the private therapist. 

293,000$ for the Drugs. 

150,000$ hospital charges

That brings us to a total of - 1,968,000$. 

Cheque not accepted, only wire transfer."Said the short goon once again waved a sheet of paper in front of me and quickly pocketed it. He couldn't be more obvious, maybe he thought I would not dare to ask to see the bill. 

All Young Wyatt did was bump into this dude and a group of people surrounded him and started to intimidated and extort him. These people couldn't be more shameless asking 1,968,000$ just for a bump. 

But I was not Young Wyatt, I grabbed the hand of the short goon before he could pocket the sheet of paper and asked "Mind if I take a look?"

The shorty tried to lessen my grip but it was late, I took the paper, it read a recipe on how to make good chicken fajitas?. 

'WTF can you guys be a little professional?'I thought looking at the goons in front of me and then said"this doesn't look like a medical bill!"

The goons fidgeted, the short one hurriedly shouted"Wrong paper, it's my wife's secret recipe! It seems the medical bill is in my house."

'Good save buddy' I thought and just gave him a blank look, this only angered the goon and he started shouting pointing at me, "How dare you? You should be thankful that we are not asking for more compensation other than the hospital bill. Your wings seemed to have hardened seeing my good side, Fu<k boy! Now you have done it? Add another million to the bill for emotional compensation."

It's amusing to see how the goon's face turned redder and redder with every word he spouted out, feeling that I was not threatened by him, the goon came closer to me with his face right in front of mine he intently glared into my eyes trying to intimidate me. 

But I didn't back down and glared right back at him, it somehow turned into some kind of weird stare contest. Feeling belittled, the goon grew more aggressive and pushed me but to his surprise, I didn't budge an inch and a silver light shone on my skin. 

Seeing this silver light the goons beside me were scared shitless, even the three laid back goons near my front door were dumbfounded. 

"Did you just attack me B!tch? I guess you leave me no choice but to defend myself."

The two goons did not waste their breath and ran back to the three goons at the back. The three goons at the back were more alerted than these two as they directly summoned their Bronze grimoire according to their training at Zhang Mercenary. 

Seeing the three goons at back summon grimoires I understood why the two goons ran back to them. 'Interesting' I thought, cause not many people know I am a silver card apprentice, there is no way Ben Li would know that I was a silver card apprentice to send three-card apprentices. 

Either Ben Li should be a very cautious person or he somehow got the information of me contracting a silver grimoire. It didn't matter either way it's about time I made them cough up what they owe Young Wyatt.

Time 7:45

Location Sky Blossom city, Wyatt Residence

After waiting till midnight at Wyatt's house yesterday Robert Wang wasn't done he returned to Wyatt's house in the morning but only to find that goons from last light were also back with an extra card apprentice and continued to block the Wyatt Residence. 

Having his share of experience in society teacher Wang knew that these goons were either from loan sharks or a bunch of scamsters. Either way, he comes out as the hero in front of Wyatt that's what matters here.

So, teacher Wang chose to hide in the corner. This way when Wyatt returns and is in trouble he can walk in and act as the hero doing the most adult thing,' calling the cops'. 

The scenario was set and all he had to do was wait patiently like the hunter waiting for the prey to walk into the trap. 

Applying for a leave teacher Wang waited patiently, and his patients bore fruit as Wyatt showed up at last at 15:45.

Seeing the way things were headed Wang thought that the twerp Wyatt had not changed much as he just let the goons walk all over him like that. It's better this way as the more pathetic Wyatt was, the easier it was for him to be the hero in front of Wyatt.

Seeing that the things between the goons and Wyatt were getting heated, Wang directly called the cops before deciding to make an entrance.

But to his surprise, as he was about to go out to make an entrance, with an intimidating aura Wyatt moved at high speed towards the goons. 

Seeing that timing was not right yet Wang crawled back to his corner. To gain the most goodwill the hero has to make an entry when things get most desperate.

While Wang was fantasizing about his heroic entry, Wyatt was going to have his first card fight in this world.
