In an old-fashioned residential building decorated with flowers and plants, the sheets and white vests were fluttering in the wind, and a delivery drone flew over with a "didi-dip" of Pizza Hut.
Wen Tailai opened the closet, and the smell of mothballs hit his face. He casually put on a white vest and took the "wristband light curtain" and mask placed on the partition.
The woman washing clothes downstairs shouted: "Bring the "washing machine card" to the card repairman. After picking up the girl, come back with a package of MSG."
"I know." Although Wen Tailai is a fourth-level diamond card master, he is very satisfied with his current life.
The spring breeze is pleasant, the world is noisy, and the cleaning robot on the street is cute and naive.
Wen Tailai pushed an old-fashioned bicycle, tapped his wristband, and a blue light projected onto the holographic screen. Big data accurately delivered news, and the upper right corner displayed the rise and fall of today's card prices.
Federal Leviatanya's "A-class shuttle" card increased by another 2%, and the S-class shuttle was more expensive, rising by a full 5%.
Although Lao Wen cannot afford a shuttle car that can travel on land, sea, and air, he is satisfied with looking at the dazzling S-class shuttle car.
His daughter attends a good kindergarten. The security guard is equipped with a first-level card and has good fighting ability against gangsters.
As for another unstable factor besides gangsters: card masters.
Every card master who ignites the fire is a hidden bomb in reality, but no one will act rashly.
Because you never know how many card masters are hidden in the city who are content with being ordinary.
He may be a fourth-level diamond like Lao Wen, or even a fifth-level master, hiding in the market.
Therefore, unless there is an emergency, such as an invasion of monsters around the city, card masters living in the city will remain silent.
The other group of card masters, far away from the human population, embarked on a journey of pioneering.
Between ordinary and adventurous, card masters always have to choose one, and no matter which one you choose, you need courage.
Pushing his bicycle, Wen Tailai looked at the kindergarten across the street from a distance. There was still an hour before school ended, and many parents were waiting here early.
Wen Tailai freed his mind, enjoying the free time of middle-aged men with hair as thin as hair, and never forgot:
"Yesterday's "Epee Man" was really powerful. He could even block my lightning strikes perfectly..."
At this time, a message came from the light curtain, coming from a chat group called [Card Research Association].
The group members are all anchors and card master friends that Wen Tailai is familiar with.
"Old Wen, who is that heavy sword man yesterday?" the little raccoon avatar asked.
"I don't know." Wen Tailai said, "I think his source power is 10,000, no, maybe 20,000."
"The source power of a one-star master is only 10,000."
The little raccoon asked in surprise: "Is he a sixth-level grandmaster, or... a seventh-level national scholar? Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Wen Tailai agreed.
"Du Jingang and Xue Li in the group are from the Federation. I'll ask them to inquire."
The little raccoon said his intention: "I think he is a host. If I can get along with him, I plan to bring the "Epee Man" into the group."
The little raccoon is a very cute card artist, has a wide range of contacts, and serves as the group leader of the [Card Research Association].
Wen Tailai was a little worried: "If you look like a big boss at first glance, will you really come to our small group?"
"What's wrong, boss! Our True Lord Golden Dragon, Ghost Bride, which one is not a boss!" the little raccoon snorted.
Jinlong Zhenjun is said to be the strongest traveling card master in the group, ranking 7th in the overall ranking of anchors. The ace is Zhang Jinlong, who has never shown his true form.
"That's true. I talked with the 'Epee Man' yesterday, and I don't think he is as vicious as he looks." Wen Tailai said.
"Then it's decided." The little raccoon said, "Let's check it out first... Such a powerful travel card master and a new anchor must join our group!"
"Okay, thank you for recruiting new people." Wen Tailai trusted this group leader and subconsciously shouted, "Little raccoon."
"(spiritual swear words)"
A red panda with a round face and a reddish-brown body was practicing in a mountain cave. Its red cheeks were swollen, and its fleshy little paw pads were poking at the light curtain:
"How many times have I said, I am a red panda, not a little raccoon!!"
*
Federation, Star Map City.
Lin Xiao slept until dawn, took out the ten "food cards and bread" he got yesterday from the fire, and spread them out on the bed.
"It's actually possible to bring cards back to reality from the source world."
Lin Xiao was in disbelief: "The power of science is so great..."
Card masters can bring cards into the source world through fire, and can also bring cards back from the source world.
Eating in the source world will not produce a feeling of fullness, only in reality can one fill one's stomach.
Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.
Perhaps, in this world where dragons and gods exist, matter and spirit can transform into each other...
Get up and wash up. The man in the mirror has neat black hair, fair face and sharp edges, looking as handsome as ever.
Lin Xiao clicked on the wristband light screen and browsed the live broadcast room data of 'Epee Man'.
Yesterday, the epee man who made his debut powerfully ended the nine-game winning streak of Ben Lei Shou, causing heated discussion.
The shocking scene of a heavy swordsman resisting the thunder continues to spread on the Internet.
In just one night, the number of fans in the live broadcast room exceeded 1,000. Excluding Rocket, who was the first on the list, the total reward was 300 star coins.
But Lin Xiao only had about ten yuan left in his pocket. He gave full play to his social spirit and rubbed his chin:
"Live broadcasting alone is not enough... other part-time jobs must also be put on the schedule."
The top sister on the list, "Qing Kui", has a gray avatar. She will go online tomorrow and challenge the [Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain] dungeon with Lin Xiao.
In today's free time, Lin Xiao plans to go to the "Card Master Association" to take the assessment and register as a "Bronze Brigade Card Master".
If he can pass the assessment and become a first-level travel card master, he can receive a one-time allowance of 500 star coins, which is enough for Lin Xiao to transition to the next month.
After making up her mind, Lin Xiao started to prepare.
Previously, because of Qingkui's abnormal behavior in the source world, Lin Xiao specifically searched for etiquette among card masters.
Added strange lore:
Since the color of fire will reveal the card player's card tendencies, elemental affinities, and even personality traits, 'fire' is regarded as important information for the card player.
Holding the right hands of card masters is an extremely intimate gesture, like a fire burning close to each other. It is only popular among relatives, lovers and partners.
If it were just a simple courtesy and a fist bump, that would be enough.
"No wonder Qing Kui showed that expression... I found it."
Lin Xiao searched in the drawer and found a pair of leather gloves, which could be used to cover the fire.
[Gloves] are one of the standard accessories for card masters to go on adventures. Some of them are made of high-end materials, which can enhance the combat effectiveness of duels.
The leather gloves Lin Xiao is currently wearing are very ordinary and are distributed by the Card Master Association. The advantage is that they are free.
Wear a windbreaker with a vest underneath, the collar turned up, and a "Bronze Card Maker" badge pinned to the inside of the windbreaker.
Lin Xiaoju showed "unpalatable bread", held it in his mouth and went downstairs. He opened the light screen on his wristband with his finger and searched for how to get to the "Card Master Association".
A nice fragrance wafts from the stairs.
Mrs. Smith was cooking delicious food on the shiny stove, and the pot exuded the tempting smell of fish, perilla leaves, and basil.
"Good afternoon, Lin Xiao." She greeted, "Would you like to have lunch together?"
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the bread was bland and tasteless, and said, "Is it really okay?"
"Five stars for a meal." The old lady said.
Lin Xiao picked up the bread again and chewed it like a little hamster. He raised one arm and moved the other hand across the light screen, saying vaguely:
"That's okay, I can just eat this."
Mrs. Smith asked strangely: "Whole wheat bread? It doesn't look like much. How much did you spend on it?"
"10 star coins." Lin Xiao said.
"10 pentacle coins? You've been screwed!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed.
The old lady thought that Lin Xiao was very shrewd and good at sales, but she couldn't even tell the price of goods.
It seems that it is necessary to teach him the knowledge of grocery shopping and bargaining!
Lin Xiao swallowed the bread and thought about it seriously, without explaining, and smiled:
"I think people don't have to be so smart sometimes."
Whether he was called false or hypocritical, Lin Xiao didn't care what others thought.
Because for Lin Xiao, this is the first item in the card master’s guide:
No matter which way the wind blows, just do what you think is right.
Meteoric Sword:(??ω??)
This kid can handle it!
"By the way, do you have any bandages here? I'll buy them from you, but I can't pay until next month." Lin Xiao said.
"Yes, yes, but what do you need a bandage for?" the old lady asked curiously.
Lin Xiao did not answer, thinking to herself, in order to keep a low profile when going out, she should change the skin of the Meteor Star Sword!
