Chapter 173 The dream of landing on the moon, everyone is watching
The morning light passed through the white window screen and fell on the peaceful sleeping face of the little girl on the hospital bed.
Asmodeus hadn't seen a girl sleeping so sweetly for a long time. He stroked the girl's cheek and said softly:
"When you get better, I will come back to see you..."
Lin Xiao crossed his arms and stared, lost in thought.
Demon gods are not necessarily vicious villains, they also have their own personalities and codes of conduct.
Lucifer despises humans and yet pities them at the same time;
Asmodeus, while gaining the love of humans, may also have poured emotions into humans.
The incident ended with the treatment of Xiaomeng's disease and the contract with Asmodeus.
Xiaomeng still needs to be hospitalized for treatment, but doctors and Master Bopp will soon discover that her rare disease has been cured.
Lin Xiao did not reveal to Master Bop that it was his plan to save Xiao Meng.
After all, Lin Xiao mostly acts out of interest, or it can be said that it is the player's unique "willingness".
Now that the purpose of 'rescuing people' has been achieved, the excitement and gratitude of relatives after rescuing people become irrelevant.
After leaving the ward, Lin Xiao and Qiaolin stood in the corridor and waited for a while, leaving Asmodeus and Xiaomeng some private space.
Jolina leaned against the wall with her arms folded, looking a little unnatural.
Lin Xiao took the initiative and said: "As a reward for the commission, I will prepare the sixth-level materials to strengthen Xingyue Ye."
Jolina frowned and whispered:
"I actually didn't help much."
"No." Lin Xiao said seriously: "I am only responsible for treating diseases. It was you who rekindled Xiaomeng's desire to live. This is the key to breaking the situation."
Qiao Linna's red eyes flickered slightly. She was helpless in the face of the Demon God, and Lin Xiao's comforting words made her a little depressed.
She is not willing to just be a think tank. Continuous fighting is her way of survival.
"This commission, I did not complete satisfactorily..."
Qiao Linna took a deep breath, her red eyes were sharp, and she said:
"But if there is another commission, enemies other than demon gods can be dealt with by me."
Lin Xiao nodded lightly.
He saw Jolina's talent and her calm personality, making her an extremely reliable teammate.
Cultivating her is like a portable grandpa cultivating an upgraded protagonist...
The plug-in is actually me?
I have accumulated a lot of resources recently, and I am waiting for the next limited card pool, so I can use some of them.
For the sixth-level materials suitable for Starry Moon Night, just ask the federal national soldier "Doctor Beak" to help you pay attention, and then trade with him.
It was late at night before I came to the hospital, and now it is already morning.
Chu Yun and Sigrid were waiting eagerly in the hospital lobby. When they saw Lin Xiao and Qiaolinna returning safely, they knew that the matter had been resolved and they were relieved.
"Go back and take a nap."
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "After resting, I'll treat everyone to a big dinner!"
"It's inconvenient to have dinner out," Chu Yun said, "and it's not safe."
"Then let's go to Raven's house!" Sigrid said, "I heard from Lin that your cooking is very good. Even my old teammate has never tasted it!"
Lin Xiao: "Second!"
Lin Xiao and Sigrid high-fived. Jolina shrugged indifferently. Chu Yun hesitated before speaking and muttered:
"Okay, come to my house for a party that night... let me know in advance that no drinking or fighting is allowed!"
After saying goodbye, Jolina appeared on a red motorcycle and took the lead.
Chu Yun drove Sigrid home in an old black car, and then returned to the residential area with Lin Xiao.
Along the way, the black-haired girl wore a gothic black dress and sat next to Lin Xiao in her spirit form, observing the scenery outside the window and blinking.
Asmodeus has been living in Lemeng's body, and seeing the world outside the hospital now is a bit strange.
"What do you mean by giving me a new human identity?" Asmodeus asked curiously.
"There's no rush yet." Lin Xiao replied with mental strength, "I'll take you to meet some old friends tomorrow."
"Old friend?" Asmodeus was slightly startled.
I'm the devil. Where did you find your old friend?
After arriving home.
Lin Xiao counted the most important gain from this trip: "The power of lust".
"The power of lust" can be used in two ways.
One is to create illusions, such as creating an "illusion cage" to imprison other people's consciousness, making them appear confused and absent-minded in reality.
The other is mind manipulation, which can influence other people's minds, charm and control others, thereby increasing the success rate of persuasion, negotiation, and threats, and the bargaining ability will also be greatly improved.
The power of lust has certain requirements for the user's charm. Based on Lin Xiao's appearance, the effect of using this ability is excellent.
But it always feels weird to use the power of lust on men.
Lin Xiao rubbed his chin...I always felt that it would be better for me to use this ability less.
The gemstone that symbolizes the power of lust is [mutton-fat white jade], which is warm and white in color, and the jade is as smooth as a slender hand.
As the saying goes, a humble young man is as gentle as jade.
[Mutton Fat White Jade] will also passively enhance the charm and temperament of the holder, improving Lin Xiao's overall appearance again.
Lin Xiao glanced at the four beautiful gems placed on the coffee table:
Amethyst, carnelian, black pearl, suet white jade.
The gemstones complement each other and create beautiful colors that can drive collectors around the world crazy.
As a collector, Lin Xiao said he was very satisfied.
In this way, the remaining seven deadly sins are sloth, greed, and envy.
Lin Xiao vaguely felt that the day when the federal map was finished was not too far away.
After waking up.
Lin Xiao pressed the doorbell of Chu Yun's house.
The man in an apron opened the door and nodded.
Behind him, Sigrid sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding the handle and shaking her body from side to side, cheering:
"Lin! You're here... Damn, this Bowser hit me!"
Lin Xiao glanced at the screen and saw that it was indeed a "carriage".
The tempting smell of chili wafts from the kitchen, which is obviously Central Asian cuisine.
In a room with bright windows and clean windows, there is a dining table with bright lights. There are bowls upside down on white ceramic plates, and the fragrance wafts out.
Lin Xiao lifted the bowl and took a peek, braised crucian carp, braised prawns, and spicy chicken. After swallowing, he closed the bowl again and waited patiently for all the dishes to be served.
Dafu's eyes were shining, and he was holding the handle in his little paw, lying on the sofa playing a racing game with Sigrid.
The chubby little Tuanyuan bird was playing with Chu Yun's crow, and a few feathers fell off during its chirping.
Jolina arrived later, carrying a piece of salmon packaged from the high-end Ukisakura restaurant.
"Oh! (??)" Dafu grinned.
Fish, eat fish tonight!
While Dafu was enjoying his feast, the snowy owl also joined the melee of birds, and the scene was very lively.
At Chu Yun's greeting, Lin Xiao entered the kitchen to help.
Jolina stared at the game console of the last century, as if pondering its principles, and then took out a chess set from the coffee table cabinet and started playing against herself.
After the dinner, it was already dark, and Jolina said that she could escort Sigrid home without having to see her off.
Lin Xiao and Chu Yun stayed to clean up the mess.
The room was quiet, and the rag wiped away the oil stains on the table, which reflected the bright chandelier. Chu Yun held the edge of the table and suddenly said:
"I've thought about it."
"What?"
"I will apply for deployment." Chu Yun stood up, with a rare smile on his stern face, "I will go back to Central Continent with you."
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Chu Yun looked at the old photo frame on the counter with a deep look: "I think... I should break away from the past and try to find what I want."
"To tell you the truth, I left Central Continent with the thought of 'I won't go back until I become a hero'."
Chu Yun whispered: "But I figured it out. Before becoming a hero who saves the world, you must first become a hero for the people around you... just like you."
"I?"
"In addition to the fact that you saved me no less than three times in the hospital yesterday. Also, your deeds in the Golden State and Black Pool..."
Chu Yun was silent for a long time, threw the rag to Lin Xiao, and said calmly:
"I may not be able to save the world in this life. But I can watch over you and witness the day when you become a hero."
Lin Xiao caught the rag, his eyes reflected the man with a calm face, he dusted the rag and grinned: "It's enough for me to watch over you."
Chu Yun smiled slightly and said immediately: "Come over and clean the table."
"You've already finished wiping it off."
"The table needs to be wiped three times." Chu Yun turned around and wiped the counter, "This is common sense."
"What kind of common sense is this!" Lin Xiao said, walking towards the table.
On the counter, Chu Yun picked up the photo frame with the group photo in it. The former captain in the photo still had the same smile, but Chu Yun was no longer as ignorant and green as in the photo.
His eyes were a little reluctant, and he finally put them down gently, raised his head, and looked up at the moon outside the window.
That desolate moon where countless politicians compete fiercely.
It also carries the romance, longing and sentimentality of countless tourists.
…
…
Wednesday, August 10th.
Chu Yun used his accumulated contributions to exchange for a new spiritual card, "Raven", in the investigation team.
This is his second Raven.
Generally speaking, card masters will not prepare two identical trump cards.
But this Kachuyun is the most handy, and he can dispatch two "Ravens" more easily.
Compared to his old partner, the new Raven has an extra ability to 'see through'.
In this way, even if you face illusions, you won't be without any means to deal with them.
A man in a suit and tie, with two red-eyed crows on his shoulders, is sitting in the office, deep in thought.
Chu Yun wanted to witness the day when Lin Xiao became an eighth-level ‘saint and demigod hero’.
At the same time, as Lin Xiao contracts more and more demon gods, he does not want Lin Xiao to lose himself in the face of the demon gods' power.
Therefore, Chu Yun wanted to be his partner, watch over and help him achieve the step of "landing on the moon".
Chu Yun thought to himself... While providing intelligence assistance, he must not slack off in the field of duel.
Lonicera University.
Qiao Linna has received the sixth-level material, "Unicorn Horn", provided by Lin Xiao.
The unicorn horn contains an aura of holiness and mystery, is extremely sharp, and is highly compatible with the starry and moonlit night.
This is the material Lin Xiao commissioned ‘Doctor Bird’s Beak’ to collect, and then handed it over to Qiao Linna.
Jolina is not the type to express her gratitude in words.
She could sense the importance of Lin Xiao in her heart. She was both a teacher and a friend, but she also had strange feelings.
But Jolina also has her own ideas.
Training room.
Jolina sweated profusely and repeatedly practiced swinging her sword. Her high ponytail was moistened, her red pupils were piercing, and she gritted her teeth.
Put all your emotions into the next swing of your sword.
Maybe not yet, but as long as I become strong enough.
One day... I will no longer need his protection, and I will be able to look directly at God and protect others...
The experience of walking through the pyramid, the experience of facing the devil...
Bits and pieces of the past, like flames, dance in Jolina's golden fire.
The improvement of source power is inseparable from the growth of mind.
Whether it is idealism or realism.
As long as you are determined to the "extreme", you can reach the "moon".
Click.
Jolina's red eyes shrank and her breathing was disordered. She stopped swinging her sword and looked down at the fire in her trembling palm, which was incredible.
She heard the sound of the "vessel" breaking.
The container containing the source of power shattered and poured into a cool stream. At the end of the stream, there were rivers, rivers, and oceans.
The Nile River rushes through, ancient civilizations originated on its banks, the pyramids are engraved with the 'Eye of Horus', and the scorching sun hangs high in the sky.
"Sixth-level Grandmaster..."
Jolina closed her eyes, recalling the shocking glimpse just now, and the golden fire in her palm became more dazzling.
The girl with a high ponytail opened her ruby eyes, revealing fleeting joy, and whispered to herself:
"So that's it."
She wanted to share her understanding with those around her, like a child getting a new toy.
But when she clicked on the light screen and opened the empty friend list, her fingers hesitated on the portraits of Lin Xiao, Carlo and others, and finally put them down.
Rather than saying that Jolina doesn't like to show off, it's better to say that she is very good at restraining her emotions.
The afterglow of dusk fell into the training room, opening up the slanting shadows.
The new Grandmaster, who had broken through the sixth level of source power, picked up the wooden sword that fell to the ground, took a deep breath, and got rid of distracting thoughts.
Jolina felt a little frustrated, but she had long been used to it.
The light curtain lights up.
[Lin Xiao: I feel that you have reached a bottleneck recently. Remember to tell me if you have broken through the sixth level. I will ask Dafu to add a buff to you first.]
[Lin Xiao: (Dafu laughs silly)]
Suddenly, Jolina's eyes turned red for a moment. It was an emotion that had been ignored for a long time and suddenly received attention.
She coughed slightly and said calmly:
"I am already a master."
Lin Xiao: "Flow beer. (thumb)"
Jolina sent a 'wear sunglasses' emoji.
Lin Xiao also noticed Qiao Linna's growth.
The standard for evaluating the level of a card master, in addition to the source power value, is the level of the trump card.
For example, if you want to achieve the eighth level, in addition to breaking through your character to the eighth level, you also need to upgrade your meteor sword to the eighth level.
There is no eighth-level card master in this world yet...
Therefore, no matter what method is used, the card master who reaches level 8 first will have a leading advantage in a short period of time.
But according to theories such as technological explosion, I am afraid that at a certain point, the eighth level will no longer be unique.
Lin Xiao secretly sighed.
When I reach the eighth level by contracting the Seven Deadly Sins... there should be no other eighth level player with a stronger foundation than me!
Of course, if you make a contract with the devil, you must also guarantee their life in the human world.
Solomon Winery is holding a welcome party for the devil.
Asmodeus was so shocked that his world view was refreshed. He froze in place and stammered:
