The time for filming the promotional video was finally scheduled for two days later.
Three teams shot together.
We walk together.
I'm a little anxious to go to Dayang Country twenty days in advance, but I have nothing to do, so just obey the association's arrangements.
Taking the same flight and staying in the same hotel as Master Gu, we may have the opportunity to exchange more experience in card making, hehe...
The rest is just little things like visas.
Give the ID card to the association and don't worry about anything else.
After returning home, Gu Ci opened the window.
The sunshine in the winter afternoon is not so bright. The temperature and brightness are just right. It shines warmly on the body and is not dazzling.
Xia Zhi stretched her body and said with relief: "The beating is finally over."
After nearly 500 games and only one break, her star power has improved a lot.
I haven't tested it yet, but Xia Zhi estimates that he is at least 6.7.
Playing a game is no easier than fighting off a tide of beasts.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Ci touched the girl's head and said softly, "Have a good rest. You won't have to cook tonight."
Xia Zhi blinked twice: "Can I just skip cooking tonight?"
Gu Ci smiled: "If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it in the future."
"I'm just kidding." Xia Zhi said with a smile. She just wanted to hear what Gu Ci said.
Gu Ci wanted to cook in person tonight to reward Xia Keai, but the girl kicked her out of the kitchen.
"I'll do it. Brother Gu Ci, go and accompany Sister Xingwu." Xia Zhi said, "I'll take a shower first, change my clothes, and then come over to cook."
"But……"
"Oh no, I won't starve you. Go and accompany Sister Xingwu. Brother Gu Ci is obedient."
"……All right."
Gu Ci couldn't resist, so he stopped competing with the girl for the kitchen.
He took two cans of happy water from the refrigerator and came to the living room.
I won’t drink hot milk today, let’s change the taste.
Star Dance is sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, probably communicating with her family.
Gu Ci walked over, pulled open the two bottles of happy water with a "chi" sound, and handed one bottle to Xing Wu.
"When are you leaving?" Gu Ci asked after taking a sip of happy water.
The cold carbonated soda stimulated his taste buds and made him smack his lips.
"Tomorrow morning." Xingwu replied, "The housekeeper will pick me up."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Gu Ci said, "I thought you would be reluctant to leave me."
"Stop being so narcissistic." Xingwu snorted, but there was clearly a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
No matter how reluctant you are to leave, you have to go home, right?
Gu Ci held Xingwu's little hand and gently stroked the girl's smooth back: "How long do you plan to stay at home?"
"About a month or two." Xing Wu thought for a while and said, she also had some things to deal with.
"Isn't it almost the New Year?" Gu Ci said with a smile, "Why don't I go over to you and have a New Year's Eve dinner with your family."
Xingwu glanced at Gu Ci: "You don't care about your good sister anymore?"
Gu Ci couldn't bring Xia Zhi with him when he went to her house to have dinner, right?
Gu Ci: "Yes, there is Xia Keai, so I'd better go to her house."
Star Dancer: "???"
Listen, what kind of scumbag is this?
Xingwu immediately took out his hand, slapped Gu Ci's thigh hard, and stared fiercely: "No!"
"What's not okay?" Gu Ci didn't seem to be in any pain at all, and said with a smile: "Is it that I can't go to Xia Kaikai's house, or that I have to go to your house?"
Xingwu said confidently: "You have to go to Xia Keai's house at the same time as my house!"
Can this stinky pig's trotters distinguish between priorities?
Still trying to favor one over the other?
I bother!
Gu Ci: "Okay, okay, I understand, I will definitely go to your house during the Chinese New Year!"
"That's about right...wait a minute!" Xing Wu suddenly realized something was wrong, "I haven't promised you yet!"
I almost got caught by this guy again.
Gu Ci said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, uncle will agree."
Star Dancer: "???"
"What's the meaning?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Gu Ci coughed twice and changed the subject: "The housekeeper who came to pick you up, is he awesome?"
"It's not bad, a little worse than me." Xingwu said.
Although his tone was arrogant, Gu Ci knew that this was actually a considerable degree of affirmation.
The one in Xingwu's mouth is a bit different, but it should be about the same.
Mr. Star Dancer is the best in the world, so he must be a little bit worse.
Not counting the big witch-robed man with the ancient star card, there may not be many people in this world who are as powerful as Xingwu.
"Do you want him to help you with anything?" Xingwu asked.
"No, I'm just worried about your safety." Gu Ci said, "If it's only a little worse than you, I'll be relieved."
The witch-robed men might intercept and kill Star Dancer on the road.
Although this possibility is very small, it is always right to be careful.
With two big star card masters at the top of the pyramid staying together, the man in the witch robe would probably be at a loss what to do.
After all, they can't go to war.
Seeing that Gu Ci was caring about herself, Xingwu pursed her lips: "Aren't you worried about yourself?"
"What do I have to worry about? With the association here, they don't dare to do anything to me." Gu Ci said.
To be honest, there is indeed the possibility of people in witch robes jumping over the wall in a hurry. Nothing in the world is absolutely safe.
If you are unlucky, you will choke even if you drink water, let alone facing a witch-robed man?
If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed.
The witch-robed man is like this, and so is Gu Ci.
This is an iron rule, it applies to everyone.
If they hadn't moved to the association, the witch-robed men might have assassinated them several times.
The only dangerous point is going abroad this time.
Xingwu seemed to understand: "That's why you specifically asked Jiang Qianye to be the team's manager?"
As the granddaughter of President Jiang, Jiang Qianye is bound to be protected by the association's big star card master.
Gu Ci and Jiang Qianye would be much safer together than alone.
"You can't say that." Gu Ci corrected, "If you want to check history, you have to go abroad. Jiang Qianye joined voluntarily."
That day in the cinema, Jiang Qianye hinted so clearly. With her girlish personality, even if she didn't take the initiative to invite, Jiang Qianye would have proposed it herself - the most important thing was that Gu Ci had no reason to refuse.
Free bodyguards, no prostitution, no prostitution.
Star Dancer: "Wouldn't it be good for us to use her like this?"
Gu Ci shook his head: "I have told her everything about the witch-robed man. She is so smart, she will not know my thoughts."
That's why she likes dealing with Jiang Qianye.
There are many things that don't need to be said explicitly or even mentioned. The two of them know it in their hearts.
This way of getting along will make people relaxed and save trouble.
With Jiang Qianye by his side, Gu Ci didn't even need to go to the association.
Of course Jiang Qianye wanted something for helping him like this.
Looking up history is just one of them.
The second one might be the structure in his hand?
Chairman Jiang tried so hard to get him to negotiate a "500 million business" with Jiang Qianye, wasn't it just for the sake of structure?
There may be a third one, but Gu Ci is not sure.
"So you have been using each other?" Xingwu suddenly felt that the adult world was so complicated.
Gu Ci and Jiang Qianye obviously seem to have a good relationship.
Not only is it good, but occasionally it is too good and blatantly drives a big car.
In the end, Gu Ci told her that the two of them were not even ordinary friends, but just partners who came together purely for profit?
"That's not the case." Gu Ci thought for a while and gave an example: "Look at the handsome swordsmen and the others, we were just netizens at first, then we were card makers and customers, and then we were accomplices who robbed auctions. Isn't this true?
Have they become friends?"
Star Dance: "..."
Why do I think you deliberately lured people onto your ship?
Gu Ci: "Look at Fukada Yongxin, Su Xiaoyan, Xu Tuantuan...and Xiao Zijin. They are my students in school. Can't they also be friends in private?"
Star Dance: "..."
Are you sure you're not jealous of their background?
Gu Ci: "I know what you want to say, but in many cases, relationships of interest may not develop into true friends."
Take Zheng Fanfan for example. Maybe Gu Ci was attracted by Zheng Fanfan's identity at first, but later on Zheng Fanfan's desperate attitude really moved him, but he didn't show it.
Gu Ci is a lazy dog, so he appreciates people who work hard.
Xu Tuantuan is, and so is Zheng Fanfan.
This is the same principle as "starting with appearance and staying true to talent".
If Zheng Fanfan was the kind of rich second generation with no brains, Gu Cicai wouldn't bother to talk to him.
If he can recruit Zheng Fanfan, he can also make Zheng Fanfan go away.
Facts have proved that these children from rich families are quite good. At least they have pleasant personalities and do not show off their wealth at all times.
Gu Ci doesn't like people who show off.
Unless you use a card made by him to install it.
"What do you plan to do with the Dashing Swordsman and the others?" Xing Wu asked, "Will you let them continue to look after the store?"
During the preliminaries, the shop was looked after by a few dashing swordsmen.
It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Boss Gu gave them a monthly leave, and they had to come back to work tomorrow.
"They...the store is temporarily closed. When I come back from the game, I will update the card pack."
A version is almost half a year old.
Gu Ci said: "I plan to let them go out for a walk and confirm the address of the Star Card Laboratory base."
Xingwu: "If we don't open a store, won't the source of funds be gone?"
"Don't worry, we just built an experimental base first, it will be enough." Gu Ci hummed proudly, "You don't know how rich your men are now. In terms of liquidity, there are few people in the entire Xinglan City who have more money than me.
"
Xingwu's focus was not on money at all. She only heard the words "your man". She turned slightly red and whispered: "A boyfriend is just a boyfriend, what kind of man."
She is still a pure girl!
Gu Ci: "I suddenly remembered something, we have to do it tonight."
Star Dancer: "???"
The originally reddish face instantly turned blood red, like a ripe peach.
Has this guy driven too much with Jiang Qianye, and is he talking so straightforwardly now?
Gu Ci asked in confusion: "Why are you blushing?"
Xing Wu felt guilty and said: "I...my aunt is here."
It’s not an excuse, it’s really here!
Gu Ci became even more confused: "Auntie is here, so you are blushing?"
What is this intricate relationship?
Star Dance: "..."
"We can't do it tonight." Xing Wu was already trying her best to calm down, but she felt extremely ashamed to talk about this topic openly, and she didn't dare to look into Gu Ci's eyes while speaking.
After saying that, I was embarrassed.
Gu Ci: "..."
Star Dance: "..."
Gu Ci was silent, and Xingwu didn't know what to say.
After a while, Gu Cicai said: "Actually, that's not what I meant."
Gu Ci suppressed a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Xingwu to think about this."
"What does it have to do with me? It's because you used the wrong words!" Xing Wu blushed and retorted, she is not that kind of perverted person!
The first sentence was still saying "men and boyfriends", and the next sentence became "we have to do it tonight". Could she not be wrong?
"What on earth do you want to say?" Xingwu changed the subject.
"Of course it's the matter of the witch-robed man." Gu Ci stopped teasing Xingwu and said seriously: "After you left, I couldn't tell who the witch-robed man was, so I have to capture one of them tonight.
I’ll make a few detection cards for people in witch robes... just arrest them from the school.”
The time comes at night.
Xinglan Academy.
Death Card Club Lounge.
A group of students quietly held a small meeting here.
The long table is filled with delicious food.
There is a microwave in the corner, which is constantly heating up new dishes.
Roast duck, braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms...etc., all in small portions.
If the cafeteria aunt was here, she would be able to recognize it at a glance. Aren't these the free dinners provided to the students on the first floor of the cafeteria tonight?
Why were you packed here?
The students didn’t use chopsticks. They took one plate per person and just put on plastic gloves and grabbed it with their hands.
While eating, we discussed plans that we might implement later.
Student A: "Director Zhen is not here tonight, so I think it is a good opportunity to give it a try."
Student B asked: "Why did Director Zhen go there? I have been in the school for so long, and this is the first time I heard that Director Zhen left the school. Is the news true?"
Student A nodded: "It's true. Our people saw Director Zhen walking out of the back door of the school after dinner, dragging his suitcase."
Student C guessed: "It should be a business trip, related to the World Cup?"
Student D asked: “Didn’t the association send someone to take over Director Zhen’s class?”
Student A shook his head: "I don't know about this, but adults have said that our progress in the school is too slow and we can hardly keep up with the planned pace. When it is time to take risks, we can take some risks."
Student F volunteered and said, "I'll go. I'm familiar with the patrol routes of nearby security guards. It should be fine if Director Zhen is not here."
Student A's tone was more serious: "You know what it means if you are discovered."
Student F’s eyes were firm: “Don’t worry, I won’t say one more word until I die!”
The students were silent.
They all put the biggest piece of meat on their plates onto student F’s plate.
This is the most filling midnight snack Student F has ever had.
At 21:30, the students dispersed.
At 22:00, student f came out of the dormitory on time.
From the dormitory to the supermarket, you need to pass through the main teaching building.
He pretended to go shopping, and then he could pass by the statue in front of the main teaching building.
Student F even drank some wine to make himself look drunk.
This way, if someone discovers that he has had too deep contact with the statue, he will have a reason to excuse himself.
Student F is very thoughtful.
And successfully evaded the security guards.
When student F walked to the main teaching building with the steps of a drunkard, the patrolling security guard just left.
He has at least three minutes to operate.
Student F approached the statue slowly and tried to act naturally.
At this moment, a sound of breaking wind sounded.
Before Student F had time to react, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, then his vision went black and he passed out.
Xing Wu felt that he was lucky. He met someone just after entering the school, and he was drunk.
Well, the drunken behavior on campus is bad, so there is nothing wrong with arresting him.
