Elliott was emotional, just an hour ago he was blaming himself for being too hopeful even though he was living a life of despair and now he was presented with a choice to become an average person and maybe even more than average.
He did not know whether to just be satisfied with being cured or he could even have hope for more in his life.
Ever since he started to gain an understanding of his surroundings all he remembers is people's pity for him, but he did not need their pity he was the first son of the Jk group's chairperson,
So what if he is cursed with brittle bones,
He is not a victim for them to pity but a symbol of never dying fighting spirit he could accomplish more than what they will ever accomplish in their entire life.
He proved it when all hope for his cure was lost as grimoire and cards could not help his condition, he did not forswear to sit in despair but decided to gain the respect he deserves by climbing to the top of his father's company from the bottom against all odds and ridicule.
So… Yes! He can have hope for more in his life, better yet he will fight for more in his life and all he had achieved till this point was the proof of it.
"Mr Wyatt could you tell me more about this second choice you are talking about…"
If it was some other client who had asked me for more info, I would just say either they had faith in me or not. If yes then blindly follow my lead, if no then don't let the door hit you on the way out.
But Elliott was different, not because I took pity on him but because I wanted to check if it was possible to rectify and modify a gene. I know normal cards can not but the origin cards were different as they become part of the card apprentice and would upgrade with their increasing realm.
I had created origin cards for three people till now Susan, Debra, Jaya and I did not inform my plans about their origin card before the creation. I would ask them what kind of card they wanted and then I would surprise them with the origin card.
Elliott's origin card creation for me was very important because his origin card creation was a practice run for my second origin card.
"Mr Elliot, unlike other Card creationists out there I prefer not to involve the clients in my plans for their origin card, I can only promise you a 99% success rate and to give my 100% to provide you with the best card I can think of for the type of origin card you asked for within your budget.
Mr Elliott, how much is your budget? my labour is not cheap." I only said 99% rather than 100% to not attract unwanted attention, but not because I was afraid or ashamed of sounding narcissistic and full of it.
"99% success rate… good I chose to trust you, Mr Wyatt. As for the budget, my entire life savings."
"Well, How much is it? I need an estimate to work with."
"Could you help me with that, Mr Wyatt?" Saying that Elliott summoned his grimoire and activated his storage trunk card and opened the trunk with his mental energy.
'Thud!'
'Click!'
Upon seeing inside the trunk I was greeted by 15 shimmering blue jade bars placed neatly in a 3x5 formation and next to an incubator containing a 30cm blue egg.
"Soul Jade!" I recognised those blue jade bars, they were the soul jade only found in the core of the dungeons and the actual currency of the Card apprentices.
But I did not recognise the egg, since it was placed besides 15 soul jades it must be expensive. Showing his net worth Elliott recalled the storage trunk.
The whole room went silent with Elliott's show of wealth.
"Mr Elliott, this won't do. I don't mind you paying Wyatt with soul jades but we can not pay for ingredients using soul jade. it would be a huge loss for both you and us." Susan broke the silence by reprimanding the prodigal S.O.B in front of us.
"I know Ms Susan I am rich but not that rich, this is just the price I am willing to award Mr Wyatt with depending upon how satisfying the origin card he created for me is.
As for the ingredients budget I have 500 million dollars in my account and a 7 billion dollars trust fund under my name.
Now Mr Wyatt, Let me ask you how much do you need?" Said Elliott, glancing at me with a provoking smile.
'Fu<k! Is he taunting me? MF! Believe it or not, I will bring your entire family to the footpath creating this origin card.'
…
While Elliott was busy showing off his wealth Corey was wondering 'Are Soul jade bars expensive, grandma gave me 100 of them as a reward to cultivate my active soul control when I became a card apprentice. I still have 97 left, maybe I should gift some to mama Su... big sis Susan and give back the rest to grandma.'

章節 67: Soul Scissors and Incubator
Date 22 Mar 2321
Time 10:31
Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234
[ Soul Scissors - $25million
Soul Incubator - $30million
C-rank Mandragora roots - $13.9million
C-rank Mandragora core - $19.7million
C-rank Matango spores - $12million
C-rank Matango core - $20.8million
E-rank High Wood Wisp core x100 - $10million
Unique grade Origin core - $125,000
Total cost - $131.525million]
The total cost of ingredients amounted to near $131.5million, I could not use ingredients higher than C-rank as both I and Elliott were only silver rank grimoire holders, limiting my choices.
But for the origin card, I had in mind these ingredients were more than enough. Not to mention I still have the Gemini and Para share cards from Fine Gold, which I forgot to return.
Susan had prepared the ingredients and also invited the guild management to set up the card lab equipped with the soul scissors and incubator in the warehouse.
Soul scissors is not an ingredient, it is a machine that a Card Creator uses to split the patient's soul, which the soul incubator houses and narture the split soul.
While the guild management was setting up my very own card lab equipped with Soul scissors and Soul incubator, I was learning how to use them through their user guide and Susan was entertaining the guest.
Gotta commend this world's occupation cards, they built the card lab equipped with soul scissors and incubator in one and a half hour to be precise it is one hour 20 minutes. But they were not cheap, I was not worried as all the cost was paid by Elliott.
Soul Scissors is a very expensive and special machine its primary use is to observe the wavelengths of the soul pathway to identify and differentiate each of them individually. Once identified then the Card apprentice can use the machine to cut the required soul pathway.
Thanks to my soul pupils I do not require a machine for this, I needed this machine for its advanced use that is to split Elliott's soul to make a false human core just like the one Jaya had.
Using my soul pupils I had already deduced Jaya's false human core but I was not certain if the soul pathways arranged in the false core were familiar to Jaya's normal soul pathway arrangement.
Therefore I went back to the bathhouse to collect Jaya's hair, which fell when she was rolling on the ground in pain.
The soul pathway arrangement of a person is unique and the same in their entire body, similar to DNA.
Comparing the soul pathway arrangement in me and Jaya's hair and the false core I began to deduce the secret behind Jaya's false core and the Viltronian powers it gave her.
But this was not enough to deduce the secrets of the false core and Viltronian, thankfully I was an expert on Viltronian DNA and had successfully created Viltronian's back on earth.
Using my knowledge I gained of Viltronian DNA back on Earth and the unique soul pathway arrangements of the false core I was finally able to deduce all the secrets behind the false core and Viltronian powers.
Turns out Viltronians are humans who under million years of evolution had their DNA and soul pathway arrangement cleverly evolved to give them their current prowess and false soul core.
I hated Viltronians more than anyone else out in the universe but I had to acknowledge their prowess and their long life span, therefore I wanted my second origin card to be a variant of the Viltronian card that Jaya had.
But being an inventor I knew nobody gets the best results on their first try therefore I decided to experiment *ahem* I mean I let Elliott have the honour of being the first human to have a soul core. Jaya was excluded as she was not human, to begin with.
To be clear I was not going to make Elliott a Viltronian origin card but an origin card that followed the example of Viltronian evolution and soul core. And to make things easier Elliott's fate ingredient was the clear scale earthworm core.
I was not going to cure Elliott's gene defect using the origin card I planned for him but I was going to use his gene defect as an advantage to create him a perfect origin card.
…
"Wyatt, the card lab is set up and ready to use" Susan informed me as I was busy learning how to use the soul scissors and incubator.
"I am done here too, are the ingredients in place," I said closing the user manual.
"Yes, Corey is placing them in the card lab as we speak."
"Great! then what are we waiting for, let's get started."
…
Inside the card lab, Looking at the operating bed of the soul scissors machine Elliott nervously asked, "how sure are you about this?"
"100%" I replied
"even though the machine has a 22% error rate and its manual highly recommends to avoid soul splitting if not necessary."
"Don't sweat the small stuff, my skill reduces the error rate to zero. Now get on the bed."
The machine has such a high error rate because its lens was not that accurate and also making it cheaper and affordable.
But this error rate did not hinder me as I was going to use my soul pupils rather than the machine lens.
"Remind me how old are you again?" Asked Elliott comparing my skill to experience.
"17."
"Aren't you a little young to operate a soul scissors?"
"No, I am not"
