The next morning, the dashing swordsman who came to look at the shop was so shocked by Gu Ci's words that the steamed buns fell out of his mouth.
They packed up their things and came to Xinglan City to join their elder brother a month ago, and rented a house near Xingka Master Square.
Work from 9 to 5, looking at the store every day.
This is the job assigned to them by Gu Ci.
The dashing swordsman and others felt at that time that there was no better boss in the world than Big Brother.
The maids are responsible for the business in the store, and they are all charming and lovely.
They are not needed to greet guests or anything else. In terms of work, they are more like security guards.
Gu Ci's store is located in Star Card Master Plaza, and the entire building is part of the Star Association headquarters building.
How many bottles of Liuwei Dihuang Pills do you need to eat before you have the confidence to come here and cause trouble?
To sum up, the life of the four dashing swordsmen was not very comfortable.
Going to work is like fishing. If you have nothing to do, you will check in with the maids, play games, hang out with friends, and hang out in Tieba... The whole day has passed.
The key salary is still high.
No money is given, but each person has a legendary star card every month.
In comparison, what is money?
They are already at the sixth level, so they are not in a hurry to rush to the big star card master - the main reason is that they don't know if they can rush up.
There is a natural chasm between the sixth level and the seventh level, which cannot be crossed by hard work alone.
How many sixth-level star card masters have embarked on this road and spent their entire lives fighting monsters and monsters in ditches...
This kind of life is full of passion, but also very tiring. The wisest thing to do is to have enough fun before rushing forward.
The job Gu Ci provided them, regardless of the salary or the work at hand... well, fishing can be considered a job. In short, it perfectly fits their current salty attitude towards life.
That night, Taoist Black Cat couldn't even sleep well because he really couldn't figure out how in the world such a good thing could happen.
Now it seems...yes, the good days are over.
The eldest brother actually wants to take them to the auction!
The handsome swordsman picked up the steamed bun that fell on the ground, wiped it, put it in his mouth and continued to look at his elder brother in shock.
Black Cat Taoist and Paper Kite also stared wide-eyed.
The arrogant wild wolf put his palm against his chin and closed his mouth with force.
"Brother, are you kidding me?"
"Or did I hear wrongly?"
Robbing an auction is more difficult than robbing a bank!
Gu Ci repeated: "You heard it right, and I'm not kidding. We want to seize the star card auction held by the association in Binhai City on the weekend."
Zhiyuan asked weakly: "Brother, is the robbery you are talking about a robbery?"
"Yes." Gu Ci said, "Don't you think this is a very exciting thing?"
Zhiyuan: "?"
Black Cat Taoist: "?"
The dashing swordsman: "?"
The arrogant wild wolf: "?"
You call this exciting?
Anyone who doesn't pay attention will have their head knocked off!
Zhiyuan was afraid and said: "Brother, do you want to think about it again?"
Why do you want to rush to the auction?
And aren’t the most valuable Star Cards at the auction all made by Big Brother himself?
Big brother doesn’t want to snatch the card back and sell it again, right?
Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out.
Black Cat Taoist: "Brother, this matter is not trivial. You must not be impulsive!"
The dashing swordsman: "Brother, please think carefully!"
The arrogant wild wolf: "Brother, think twice, brother!"
"I've thought twice about it."
Gu Ci said seriously: "Actually, I hesitated for a long time as to whether to call you up. After all, I can go alone. But then I thought about it, since you all call me eldest brother, you obviously treat me as a brother.
Then naturally I can't hide anything."
"As the saying goes, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. It is really good if everyone is happy, so I finally decided to share this exciting thing with everyone so that everyone can be excited together."
Gu Ci also bumped the handsome swordsman's shoulder: "How about it, are we good friends?"
The dashing swordsman: "..."
Zhiyuan: "..."
Black Cat Taoist: "..."
The arrogant wild wolf: "..."
Not just enough to be a buddy, but enough to be a fellow inmate.
There is no stronger feeling than this.
The four of them seemed to have seen their future selves holding the prison door with both hands and shouting "let me out".
Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains, holding the iron windows with my hands, I looked outside...
"Here are the arrangements for each of you in this operation and the cards you need to use. The auction will start in seven days. We will go there two days in advance, which means you still have five days to prepare and you can take the time to rehearse.
one time."
Gu Ci gave each of the four handsome swordsmen a [storage card]: "This is a gift for you, don't lose it."
The four dashing swordsmen: “!!!”
legend!
Space rule cards that can store items!
At this moment, the dashing swordsman felt like he was alive.
The beautiful man in ancient costume flying sword and wine gourd storage space... This is the real sword fairy!
However, it seems that the swordsman also has to go to jail.
Under the dual temptation of rule cards and dreams, the dashing swordsman used his remaining sanity and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, let me ask, is this auction sale essentially good or bad?"
This is also what Zhiyuan and the other three are more concerned about.
Whether you are caught or not is secondary, what matters is the nature of the matter.
To be honest, they really don't believe that their affable, handsome, generous and forthright eldest brother is a troublemaker.
However, the belief was wrong.
Gu Ci is a salty fish, but when a salty fish wants to cause trouble, he will be able to cause more trouble than those who like to cause trouble.
But one thing is true.
"The essence is of course good."
Gu Ci even squeezed out a lofty sense of responsibility in his affirmative tone: "Don't doubt it, we are saving the world."
It's a bit out of place, but it's true.
What Gu Ci really wanted to rob was the witch-robed man.
These guys are all straight-laced people, and it's easy for them to act rashly and alert others.
After being robbed once or twice, they might give in... Yes, based on Gu Ci's understanding of them, most of the people in witch robes would not call the police after being robbed, but would instead strengthen their own vigilance, or simply suspend operations temporarily.
Change routes and other hide-and-seek measures.
This would be very troublesome to find.
Therefore, before officially robbing the witch-robed man, Gu Ci had to robbing other targets several times.
Set up the image of "grabbing wherever there is money".
Gu Ci wanted to tell the wizard-robed man: Don't be afraid, you are just unlucky and were accidentally targeted. You will definitely not be robbed next time.
The economic losses caused to unrelated people in this process... Boss Gu said that he has money and can afford it.
Gu Ci would not care about the association. President Jiang let a pigeon as big as him, and he also gave away four structures of the association for free.
It's such a classic repaying evil with kindness. Isn't it appropriate for the association to help wipe the butt?
As I said before, Master Gu’s things are not that easy to get.
…
Come to the training hall.
Gu Ci made plans last night and went to bed late. When he got up, Xia Zhi had already put the prepared breakfast in the pot and took a taxi to school.
Currently training with Su Xiaoyan and others.
Although they have reached the sixth level, they are not slacking off at all.
As sophomores, it can be said that they have no other rivals except each other.
But among the players competing in the World Cup, their star power alone is at a lower level.
The strength of a star card master who has just broken through the sixth level is definitely different from that of a star card master who has stayed at the sixth level for a year or two.
When Lei Meng saw Gu Ci coming over, he said hello and raised a plastic bag with several big buns in his hand: "Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat, I'm not single." Gu Ci said.
One sentence almost choked Lei Meng.
Damn it, this instructor is kind enough to treat you to some steamed buns, but you just feed me a mouthful of dog food and kick me.
Lei Meng opened his eyes, feeling that this guy did it on purpose.
Gu Ci did it on purpose. To stimulate instructor Lei more would help increase the progress bar of him and sister Su Xiaoyan.
This is called the beauty of a gentleman's adult life. You're welcome.
Gu Ci walked towards the bench on the sidelines. Sitting on the bench was a girl who was reading a book.
During the recent period, Jiang Qianye would come to the training center whenever he had nothing to do.
She doesn't drive piles or watch students train, she just reads books.
Occasionally she would chat with him or Xia Zhi.
Gu Ci was already used to it. This girl seemed to be able to immerse herself in a book no matter where she was, and no noise would disturb her.
But the clothes Jiang Qianye wore today... Gu Ci took a second look.
The girl was sitting on the stool with her body slightly hunched over, her long and slender legs stretched straight, her feet overlapping each other, the socks on her feet were a little short, revealing her small and shiny ankles... Well, this is not the point, the point is
It was a girl's upper body clothes, the same style as the short-sleeved shirt she wore when watching a movie that day, but the expression on her chest was no longer a smiling face, but a naughty one sticking out her tongue.
Gu Ci suspected that Jiang Qianye had a whole set of short-sleeved emoticons.
Jiang Qianye didn't even raise his head: "Yes."
Gu Ci: "..."
He sat on the other end of the stool with an expressionless expression.
I took out a notebook to sketch, and continued to design the star card that I had not finished designing in the previous two days.
The World Cup schedule is very long, and just a few systems are definitely not enough.
There are also some special cards used to bully people in witch robes.
A star card master's robbery can't be the same as ordinary people's robbery, right?
Even though it’s just a robbery and it’s not very difficult, you still have to take it seriously, show your passion and show your style.
At noon.
Gu resigned and went to the academic building.
According to the agreement in the contract, he will provide the school with 4 legendary star cards this semester.
These 4 cards also cost him a lot of effort.
The template uses Lincoln's Law Sphere, but it has something hidden in it.
A very small tracker.
Gu Ci spent several days digging out the structure before digging out enough star symbols to build this tracker.
When the students were taking their final exams this semester, he was mostly competing abroad, so he sent the card to the school first.
After a few words with Director Zhen, Gu Ci left the office and went to the cafeteria.
Xia Zhi and Jiang Qianye were sitting in the corner, and their meals had been prepared for him.
There are also three glasses of freshly squeezed papaya juice on the table.
There is no drink shop selling this kind of freshly squeezed juice in the school - at least not in the area from the training hall to the cafeteria.
Most of the time, a certain eldest lady asked her aunt or housekeeper to send it here specially.
The obsession is quite deep.
"Brother Gu Ci, does Director Zhen really only say one word every time he speaks?"
Xia Zhi asked curiously. She was chatting with Jiang Qianye about Gu Ci just now, and their conversation ended with Director Zhen.
Because Gu resigned from the academic building to find Director Zhen, Xia Zhi had long heard of this concise and concise "one-word master", but had never seen him before.
Gu Ci gave the girl a more accurate answer: "Sometimes he doesn't even say a word."
"Ah? You won't say a word?" Xia Zhi was a little worried, "Then how can I communicate with Director Zhen?"
Gu Ci poured the braised chicken soup into the rice and stirred: "He won't teach you, so don't worry."
Xia Zhi and Little Fatty, students in the Rocket Class, occasionally go to one or two theory classes.
It depends on whether Lei Meng thinks the class that day is meaningful or not.
If it makes sense, just listen. If it doesn't, just continue training in the training hall.
Gu Ci didn't know who Xia Zhi's teachers were in each subject, but it was definitely not Director Zhen.
People guess the crossword puzzle by saying one word and then typing one word. Director Zhen said one word and typing one sentence.
Besides a highly intelligent person like him, who else can understand?
When Gu Ci thought about this, he glanced at Jiang Qianye. Maybe she could understand?
Xia Zhi poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks: "But Director Zhen will go to the World Cup with us."
Gu Ci paused: "Who said that?"
After asking, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Qianye.
Jiang Qianye tilted her head: "The juniors and seniors have also formed many teams this time. If any of the teams can qualify, Director Zhen will represent the school and accompany them to go abroad."
Being able to stand out in the preliminaries is an honor in itself, and Xinglan Academy will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to be proud.
This is also to provide an extra layer of protection for students.
The international status of Xinglan University is more than just a university.
Many student teams also participated in previous World Cups. In addition to Xinglan University, many students from other universities also signed up.
But compared to the real national team, even talented students are still not enough to watch.
Anyway, Director Zhen has worked at Xinglan Academy for so many years and has never been taken out once. He can only silently read the roster of freshmen in the office and select and train the next student team to participate in the World Cup.
Gu Ci suddenly felt that Director Zhen was a bit like a bitter woman.
Like a miserable woman who has been relegated to the cold palace, living as a prostitute every day, her biggest wish is that someone can take her out and see the outside world.
Well, that's a bit exaggerated... Gu Ci retracted his divergent thinking and asked Jiang Qianye, "So only if we qualify will Director Zhen come with us?"
Jiang Qianye nodded.
Gu Ci looked at Xia Zhi again, raised his eyebrows and said, "Now I'm worried about how to communicate with Director Zhen. It seems you are very confident."
"Of course." Xia Zhi straightened her beautiful little nose and said, "With Brother Gu Ci here, we will definitely win the championship!"
"You can't say that." Gu Ci corrected him with a straight face, "The star card is important, but it also needs someone to motivate it. Without a card master, the star card is just a card and can't do anything. Translate
Even you are important, especially to me, understand?"
"Understood!" Xia Zhi laughed.
Jiang Qianye: "..."
After taking a sip of papaya juice, Xia Zhi smiled sweetly, damn it.
Gu Ci shared a piece of meat from his bowl to the girl: "Eat, eat!"
There are not as many people eating on the second floor of the cafeteria as there are on the first floor, but there are still quite a few.
The laughter of two people and the loneliness of one person attracted frequent glances from the surrounding students.
Xinglan Academy does not have boring activities such as school beauty selection, but if you really meet a beautiful girl, you will still take a second look.
One is lively and cute, the other is well-behaved and quiet. Both girls have impeccable looks. In addition, there is an extremely handsome Master Gu next to them. Their eyes are filled with the stability and tenderness of a mature man, and the smile on their lips is raised.
The meaning is like the sunshine that comes with spring in March, just a little short of being suitable for both men and women.
It's no wonder that when three people like this sit down to eat together, they don't turn around very much.
Gu Ci will come to train with Xia Zhi basically every day this semester, and he will naturally eat in the cafeteria.
At first, I would be watched by students, who would come up to chat with me or ask for autographs. After a while, everyone got used to it.
A large part of the reason why celebrities are celebrities is because it is difficult to see a living person on weekdays. If you really want to see a living person every day, you will find that this living person is no different from ordinary living people except that he is more handsome.
It has two eyes and a nose.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gu Ci has not been as popular as before recently.
Nowadays, most of the topics on the Internet are related to the World Cup.
For example, "Breaking news! Lu Beibei has returned to the world after three months to serve as the executive director of the Lu family team!"
Another example is "Shocking! Director Yang has confirmed to join the bkb women's team, and there may be an all-female team for the first time in the official World Cup competition!"
Another example is "Latest news! The real-time champion of the last Star Oriental Card Creator Competition has resigned from the original team. It is reported that the team has fierce internal conflicts and is on the verge of dissolution!"
There is so much to talk about.
There are serious ones and there are gossipy ones.
The popularity of Gu Ci's card pack sale was quickly suppressed in just two or three seconds.
However, when I see Master Gu, I will still think of Master Gu.
Which team will this big and talented card maker choose to be the main card maker?
"It's almost time to compete and I haven't heard any news yet. Do you think Master Gu won't be participating this time?"
"It's possible. After all, the World Cup is about more than just cards. The key depends on whether the person using the card is smart or not."
"Master Gu is probably afraid that he will be cheated by his pig teammates and lower the sperm content of Grand Slam?"
At the next table at the next table, several students were discussing in low voices, glancing over to Gu Ci from time to time.
Gu Ci naturally noticed their gazes, but what he was thinking about was another thing.
In my college days, if you take away the extraordinary element of Star Card, Xinglan Academy would seem to be no different from the university in my previous life.
Everyone will pay more attention to good-looking girls, everyone will fish for fish in class, and everyone will talk about this and that in private...
So, is this the earth?
…
…
A week passed quickly.
Weekend, Binhai City.
The autumn sun is no longer as hot as summer, and shines warmly and brightly on the sea, filling the blue water with ripples.
The sky is very high, and the large floating white clouds seem to be one level lower, as if standing on the roof of a high-rise hotel, you can reach out and touch them.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Gu Ci was lying on a beach chair by the sea, lazily basking in the sun.
This is much more comfortable than basking in the sun on the Oriental Dove before.
At a glance, there are all tall and hot beauties in bikinis.
Especially in the beach volleyball area, a girl jumped up and slapped the ball, and the whole world shook.
The dim light under the sunglasses seemed to be a little brighter.
"Brother Gu Ci, you've been watching it for an hour, aren't you tired of it?"
"Tired? You won't get tired of it. Only those scumbags who only want something new will get tired of it. An honest person like me who likes you once and for all will keep liking it, how can you get tired of it?"
Xia Zhi: "..."
Brother Gu Ci said that he is an honest person?
The toad-shaped lenses covered most of the girl's face, and Gu Ci couldn't see her expression clearly, but Xia Keai must be very satisfied with his perfect answer, right?
Xing Wu snorted coldly on another beach chair, but didn't say anything.
Because I can't control it...
There were too many girls on the beach, and Gu Ci was wearing sunglasses. Who knows where his eyes were looking.
If he really wanted to be more serious, Gu Ci could just say that he was looking at the sky, the clouds, the sea... Anyway, he wasn't looking at the beauty.
There was no way he could admit his fault. Xingwu had already figured out Gu Ci thoroughly, so he didn't bother to say anything so as not to make this guy angry.
In fact, Gu Ci didn't mean to look at beautiful women.
No matter how beautiful a beauty is, can she be as good-looking as Ms. Star Dancer and Xia Kaikai?
Both sisters have great figures.
But it was precisely because of their great figures that Gu Ci didn't let them wear bikinis.
Xingwu and Xia Zhi both wore relatively conservative swimsuits, with an extra-large beach towel wrapped around them, which Gu Ci chose personally.
No one wants to see it except himself.
So stingy!
What's more, if you're facing the sun, what should you do if you get tanned?
This is also to protect the delicate skin of Ms. Star Dancer and Xia Keai.
So Gu Ci didn't really want to see beautiful women, he just had no choice.
The atmosphere on the beach is undoubtedly very laid-back.
Sunshine, waves, and mountains.
But unlike this, the atmosphere in the Urban Association Building is relatively tense at the moment.
Staff from various departments were running around busy.
The auction, which has been prepared for more than a month, will be officially held at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
There are a total of 17 legendary star cards, which can be said to be the most valuable auction item in history.
And it is very likely to affect the situation of this World Cup qualifying match, so we can't be careless in the slightest.
Since the development of Star Card Civilization, countless auctions have been held.
In addition to the Star Card Artists Association, there are many groups or card makers who also organize themselves.
There are always some auctions every year where accidents occur during the bidding process or even before the auction begins.
Some were robbed, some were stolen, some were trashed, and some were forced to take credit...
Only the association's own auctions are held very smoothly every time.
It's not that no one came to make trouble, but that the people who came to make trouble failed to solve the problem under the association's security system.
Most of the auctions involving Star Cards are of the sixth level, and the association will specially ask the seventh-level star card masters to come and hold the auction.
Double insurance with extraordinary technology is basically foolproof.
This time will be no exception.
There is no doubt that the temptation of 17 legendary star cards is very great.
It's like throwing a hot-blooded young man who has been single for eighteen years into the Golden Memory Footbath Center and telling him that he is free of charge.
99% of people can't stand it.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, there will be people who dare to take risks, dare to disregard all laws, dare to commit crimes, and are not even afraid of the danger of hanging their heads.
Even though I knew I couldn't grab it and the success rate was almost 0, I still had to come over and give it a try.
In response, Deputy Director Guo, who came to the Eighth Bureau of the Security Bureau, said that the problem was not big.
No pressure.
Nervousness is not really nervous, it just expresses an attitude of readiness.
Of course, the sixth-level auctions are attended by sixth-level lawbreakers.
It’s useless for a big star card master to grab a sixth-level star card, right?
Deputy Director Guo is not worried about the appearance of seventh-level enemies.
One is because there are very few star card masters of this level, and there are even fewer people who become criminals. They will not put themselves in danger for the sake of sixth-level star cards.
The second reason is that even if they come, they can't leave today.
Binhai City's city defense card master has arrived downstairs.
The association also transferred an additional city defense card master from a nearby city.
Including himself, there are a total of three big star card masters attending this auction.
Deputy Director Guo really didn't believe that anyone could be so capable as to snatch the star card away from three great star card masters.
