Chapter 123 Moon landing plan, dance party arrangement
Du Jingang, whose origin world ID is ‘Iron Wall King Kong’, is a defensive fifth-level card master who currently lives in the Federation.
He is tall and has a bald head. He is a retired soldier of the peacekeeping force. He has worked as a bodyguard, firefighter, instructor and other professions. He is a hard-core man and is highly praised by both inside and outside the industry.
The fifth level is respected as a 'master' by the world, and there is no need to do the hard and tiring work of peacekeepers and firefighters.
But card masters, in most cases, are not born card masters.
Du Jingang accidentally ignited the fire in his career when he was thirty years old, and then slowly grew to the fifth level.
If he is greedy for fame and fortune and abandons his tough guy style of doing things, it will be contrary to his own fire concept and he will not be able to become a master.
The organizing committee of this massive ‘Three Schools League’ specially invited Du Jingang to serve as the chief referee.
Although there are many fifth-level card masters among the players.
But as a referee, the most important thing is fairness and experience. You don't need to be stronger than the players. Therefore, Du Jingang is very suitable for this position.
The sun was dazzling, shining brightly on the expensive school robes of these top students. The cheers were like a tsunami, giving warm applause to the opening ceremony.
Du Jingang, who served as the referee, stood on the central platform of the amphitheater, holding his strong arms, slightly squinting his eyes and nodding to the main camera.
Next to the main camera is Honeysuckle's seat.
Du Jingang noticed that there was a young coach who had been watching him. He couldn't help but take another look and let out a light sigh in his heart.
Not that it looks familiar.
It's just that Du Jingang has a vicious look at people. This is a skill he developed during his career in the army and bodyguard.
That young and handsome coach... his eyes are the kind of eyes only those who have experienced cruel training and bloody battles can have.
There are no weak soldiers under a strong general.
Du Jingang thought that Liandong’s performance might be a highlight in this year’s league!
The host next to him loudly said: "Now, I would like to invite Aldrich, the president of Liandong University, to give the opening speech!"
Aldrich is a centenarian with gray hair and beard. He is said to be over 140 years old. He is energetic and has a light of wisdom in his eyes.
When he was young, he was a seventh-level national scholar with the rank of colonel. His friends were all outstanding figures of our time.
But people, like stone monuments, will erode over time, and old friends gradually wither away, leaving him to turn to education and single-handedly build Lonicera into a century-old famous school.
As for his current strength, Aldrich has not used his source power for many years. It would be somewhat difficult for him to let the old man go into battle to kill the enemy.
"A hundred years ago, the first-generation principal of Red Lion and I jointly formulated the league regulations, aiming to allow students to communicate and compete, and to show the bravery and self-challenge of card masters..."
The old man said slowly: "Subsequently, more colleges and universities have joined this ranks. Times have changed and the pattern has changed, but I think you must not lose your independence and enterprising spirit."
"The world is looking forward to you and making a more powerful cry."
The old man's eyes became bright at this moment, and the wind blew his gray hair and beard, and he said slowly and loudly: "I declare that this three-school league officially opens."
The arena was boiling with excitement. Lonicera students all raised their heads and held their chests high and proud.
What you say is really good, and the speaker is even more awesome. A hundred years ago? The current principal of Red Lion was not even born yet!
Although the teachers at Red Lion were unhappy, the students were moved by the old man's sonorous and powerful speech and gave him warm applause.
Lin Xiao inspected the teachers and students present and saw that they were in high spirits, like inflated balloons, and the wind filled their school robes.
After all, they are teachers and students at the top universities in the federation, and they are bound to become social elites and senior classes in the future. 'Arrogance' is as common as air to them.
So the next step... is to wait patiently for the big fish to take the bait.
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered.
As for whether Jolinna can win the championship, he is very confident. After all, the girl is a "weak woman" who can single-handedly hold back S-class monsters. Her fifth-level level is among the best among this contestants.
not to mention.
Lin Xiao glanced at the bald man on the main stage with a subtle mood.
Unexpectedly, even the referee is a group friend...
Of course, Du Jingang doesn't know that I am a heavy swordsman, let alone that he can't be expected to practice favoritism.
But Lin Xiao had a duel with Du Jingang, and he could somewhat understand his upright and Arhat-like philosophy.
Having Du Jingang as the referee can at least ensure the fairness of this league.
Over the arena, a drone codenamed 'Ghost' hovered.
"Have you found any suspicious persons, Sigrid?" Chu Yun's voice sounded over Bluetooth.
The little secretary remotely controlled the drone, her fingers were pressing buttons like flying, and a large amount of precise data appeared on the laptop screen. The light from the screen was reflected on her face, and she murmured:
"Not yet..."
"Wait a minute, we haven't found anything here in the arena, but the access card system is a bit suspicious!"
"What kind of suspicious method?" Chu Yun asked in a low voice.
"The access cards are all correct and there is no forgery, but..."
The little secretary said: "The owner of the access card is a Ph.D. student. He submitted the withdrawal procedure two years ago, but the school has never approved it. Today is the first day of his return to school after two years."
The three-school league is held every two years, and it is common to attract students to return to school, but Chu Yun did not dare to be careless and said cautiously: "Are there any other situations?"
"Oh, I'll list down all the suspicious points... there will probably be more than a hundred!"
"Yeah……"
Chu Yun rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly.
He is already prepared for a huge project.
Since the team leader was bypassed, the special agent team could not get any assistance. Everything depended on him and Sigrid.
But it is their professional job to sift out the truly valuable information from the massive amounts of intelligence.
"Be prepared to work overtime in the coming week."
Chu Yun said expressionlessly: "You can order coffee, afternoon tea, crayfish for midnight snack, milk tea cake, etc., and it will all be charged to Lin Xiao."
Sigrid said weakly: "Yes..."
Intelligence work consumes too much mental energy, so the little secretary loves sweets. But in order to manage her figure, she exercises at home every day after get off work.
A week of overtime, predictably overeating, and a hell of a fat-burning workout at the end of the overtime...
Wow, you damn heavy swordsman, you have to bypass the team leader to investigate the demon incident.
The little secretary sadly took a bite of the strawberry sesame daifuku.
If it weren't for Dafu's sake, I would have to resign!
…
Rendong University, President's Office.
Bookshelves are displayed indoors and oil paintings are hung. The old man sits behind his desk and makes a pot of black tea, blowing away the mist.
The old man has heard about the recent turmoil in the Federation. For example, demon believers have appeared in various continents, and there are also super S-class monsters that have made a comeback.
The Federation not only did nothing, but suppressed the heroes who destroyed Theseus.
Aldrich frowned.
Behind all this, there is a huge fog, and the old man cannot help but guess.
There is something, or a certain plan, that requires all the national energy to be involved.
So that the federation has no time to deal with monsters, and even prioritizes dealing with the hidden dangers of card masters in the country?
The answer may be hidden in history.
Just like centuries ago, two giant powers competed fiercely for the moon landing project.
At that time, the two major countries ignored the conflicts within their own countries, pooled funds, technology, and talents to go to the moon with all their strength, and were extremely vigilant about spies from other countries.
Once we successfully land on the moon, it means we will have a cross-century lead in the competition for national strength.
By that time, conflicts within the country will naturally become insignificant.
This made Aldrich suspicious.
I'm afraid that the current Federation... also has a similar plan.
At the moment, the Federation has put aside "monsters" and is instead concentrating on targeting "people", which shows that people pose a far greater threat to the plan than monsters.
The monsters will be eliminated sooner or later, but the losses that humans can cause are immeasurable.
It is understandable that the Federation is so alert, even wary of the heavy swordsman who destroyed Theseus.
"Moonshot."
Aldrich murmured:
"Above the seventh level, the moon landing plan..."
The old man looked up at the ceiling with deep eyes and sighed:
"It turns out that Roman has already begun to explore areas that no modern card master has ever set foot on."
"After all, that belongs to the realm of saints and epics..."
Aldrich shook his head.
"The most insane national warrior that the Federation has ever seen in a hundred years."
Although the old man speculated that Roman might be devoting all his national resources to carry out the almost impossible "moon landing plan".
And once successful, it means that Roman will have a crushing lead when facing the "unparalleled national warriors" from other countries.
But this also means that for a long time in the future, the Federation will allow demon believers and demons to do whatever they want within the country...
On the contrary, strong men from all over the world and heroes who are not subject to jurisdiction will receive stricter vigilance.
Although I don’t agree with Roman’s approach from the bottom of my heart.
But the old man understands that if he wants to stand firm in the wave that is bound to come, like the "Twilight of the Gods".
Roman made a decision that was not perfect, but was in the interest of the Federation.
"In a hurry for success, it's better to say that time waits for no one..." Aldrich said hoarsely to himself.
This is probably the cruelest darkness before dawn.
Or.
The old man thought sadly.
The darkness will always last and the dawn will never come...
dong dong
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Aldrich said.
"Principal." Norman was wearing a suit, his white hair was meticulously combed, his beard was gray, and his expression was serious: "I'm here to get the documents from the card-making department."
The old man nodded, looked at Norman's figure, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"Norman, that student of yours... Vader, hasn't he graduated yet?"
Norman paused in his search for documents, remained silent for a long time, and whispered:
"He has not shown up for more than two years, and it is impossible for me to award a diploma to a student who is in the parole probation period."
Wade is Norman's favorite student, but he was involved in an arson case two years ago and was released after two years of imprisonment. He is currently under observation.
Although Lonicera has not canceled his student status, it is impossible to issue Wade a diploma.
"Really?" the old man said regretfully, "He is a student with ideas... What a pity."
Norman agreed with the principal's statement.
Wade is a card-making genius, but his concept is different, it is "burning".
To Wade, there is something magnificent and beautiful about a building burning in a sea of fire.
Norman regretted that he did not assume the responsibility of teaching and educating people, and Wade still embarked on the path of an arsonist.
But perhaps, what drove Vader to delve into card making was his madman-like pursuit of that "burning beauty".
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
The principal smiled and said: "I heard that a genius scholar came from the Language Department, and he is also a duel master... His name is Lin Xiao, right?"
Norman nodded: "Yes, I was also present during the interview. It's rare to see such an all-around young man."
Aldrich half-jokingly said:
"He will definitely be very popular at this year's three-school dance, just like I was when I was young."
Norman said: "When you were young, you mean, a hundred years ago?"
"Yes, girls were still very conservative at that time. It would take two hours of chatting before they were willing to get in my convertible," the old man said.
Norman was stunned.
Principal, do you have any misunderstanding about the word "conservative"?
…
Wednesday, July 13th.
The first round of the three-school league has officially begun.
Aedion, the field card master of Red Lion Institute of Technology, created a grand maze in the amphitheater of Honeysuckle.
Monsters, healing locations and even treasure chests will randomly appear in the maze, and the treasure chests will drop cards that can only be used in this game.
When team members are destroyed by monster projections, they will be automatically teleported away from the field card.
There are three entrances. According to the results of the draw, Tulip will be the first to choose the entrance, followed by Red Lion and Honeysuckle last.
Before going on stage, Qiaolina sat in the player's seat, calmly holding Dafu in her arms.
"Ooo...ヾ(●′?｀●)" Dafu narrowed his eyes.
My beautiful sister who feeds me fish...come on!
the other side.
Lin Xiao held up a snow-white owl in his arm, and looked at each other with Vivian.
"Otherwise, why don't you act coquettishly?" Lin Xiao said.
"Guhu!" Vivian turned her head proudly.
On Lin Xiao's shoulder stood Little Fatty Chirp, and the glutinous rice balls shivered: "Chirp..."
Snowy owls are birds of prey after all, and soup dumplings are mostly emergency ingredients...it’s understandable that you shudder!
The game officially begins.
Under the leadership of Jolina, Lonicera's team broke into the maze with overwhelming force.
Along the way, most of the things I encountered were treasure chests, and not even a few monsters were seen.
The students in the circular stands gasped.
"The speed of passing the level is too fast!"
"I reported it and someone opened a X-ray examination!"
"Lonicera must have cheated with this venue card!" the Red Lion student glared.
"But..." Student Tulip reminded, "This venue card was embodied by a teacher in your school."
"Your school even ranks last." Lonicera students mocked mercilessly.
Red Lion student: “…”
There must be a mole!
Lin Xiao was in the stands with her arms folded, looking quite calm.
It’s a no-brainer to have a great luck buff and speed through the maze map!
The first round ended with Lonicera taking the absolute lead.
However, the three-school league adopts a points system, so a temporary lead cannot be taken lightly. The next card showdown is even more critical.
At dusk, many students from other schools appeared on the Liandong campus, and the festive atmosphere of the three-school league became even more intense.
Lin Xiao had just dismissed the assembled school team and walked through the empty duel venue alone.
The afterglow shone through the skylight into the basketball court-like interior. Lin Xiao heard someone calling him from behind. He saw the silver-haired girl holding her hands behind her back and said nervously:
"Lin, Professor Lin... do you have any arrangements for the dance on Friday?"
"There will be a dance on Friday?" Lin Xiao was confused.
Jolinna walked out of the training room carrying her satchel, her high ponytail stained with sweat, and happened to see the scene in front of her.
Click!
The shoulder strap of the satchel was gripped tightly by the girl. Jolina's red eyes were stern, and she was startled, feeling inexplicable for her own annoyance.
"No." Lin Xiao replied.
Before Cynthia could speak, Lin Xiao continued:
"However, I have another part-time job that day."
Part-time work refers to the work of the investigation team.
And Cynthia can also understand that some teachers usually have other extra income besides their own work.
"Okay." The silver-haired girl said, "Professor Lin, goodbye!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, turned around and looked around, and was suddenly startled.
In front of her stood Jolina, who was deep in thought.
There was not even a sound of footsteps... What a scary woman!
Qiao Linna's red eyes flashed, she folded her arms, and a light blush filled her snowy neck.
Friday's dance...can I invite him to attend...
This is to investigate the demon case and investigate suspicious phenomena at the dance.
Well, that’s right!
"You have a cold?" Lin Xiao said. Even your neck was red. This is not normal.
Jolina had already returned to normal, passed by him, held his wrist, and said calmly: "Follow me."
"Where to go?"
“Check the dance list!”
