Because what Chu Yun symbolizes is not only himself, but also the organizational force behind him, the "Investigation Team."
Like card masters associations all over the world, the investigation team is a global organization with branches in all major countries, but its names will be different.
In the harsh winter of the North, they walked through the long nights holding fire in their hands, and were respected as the "night watchers".
In the glorious years, they used the virtues of knights and the honor of card masters as their guides, and were respected as 'sword bearers'.
There used to be a group of chivalrous knights in Central Continent whose mission was to slay demons. The country of ‘Shaluo’, where the pyramids stood majestically, also called them ‘gravekeepers’.
These ancient titles disappeared with the wind as the age of gods came to an end.
In today's modern cities, people may regard them as private detectives or monster scavengers... In short, "Investigation Team" is the collective name for this group of card masters.
"You mean."
No. 77 swallowed, looked at the indifferent man, and asked cautiously:
"The strength of that tough guy is comparable to the elite members of the investigation team?"
Chu Yun glanced sideways and said that he was here for training in a private capacity and that he should not ask any more questions.
No. 77 said nothing, muttering in his heart:
'This big brother can kill B-level monsters at the third-level level. Doesn't the strong man who destroyed the training room with his sword the day before yesterday also have this kind of strength?'
Monsters are different from spiritual creatures. Legend has it that they originated from viruses in outer space. There is also a theory that monsters were born from the dirty blood of the Dragon of the Beginning.
The Card Master Association classifies the strength of known monsters from C to S levels.
C-level monsters are recommended to be dealt with by level 3 card masters, B-level monsters are recommended to be dealt with by level 4 card masters, and so on. S-level monsters are recommended to be dealt with by level 6 or above.
However, most S-class monsters have special abilities. There was a huge tsunami in the Golden State of the Federation, and an S-class monster named 'Theseus' set off floods that engulfed many surrounding cities.
Due to the raging flood, many masters joined hands and were unable to do anything. In the end, a national warrior sacrificed himself and died together with Theseus.
The Deep Diver is a half-human, half-fish amphibious monster, ranging from C to A level. It will land during high tides and heavy rains.
The world hates monsters deeply. After any card master kills a monster, he can record it with the light curtain and go to the Card Master Association to receive source dust, materials, and card rewards.
The cold man in front of him, even though he was so upset that he even held the cigarette butt upside down, No. 77 still had great respect for him.
Because the investigation team is an organization that embraces the spirit of card masters and fights heroically against monsters and card masters.
After calming down, Chu Yun blew out the smoke ring and said in a deep voice:
"Where is the 'macho man' you mentioned? Can I meet him?"
He developed a desire to cherish his talents.
It is common knowledge that the investigation team’s talent is withering.
In this modern era with diversified entertainment methods, few card masters are willing to join the investigation team. At most, they accept the commission of "killing monsters" from the card master association.
Although the chance was slim, Chu Yun still wanted to meet the 'macho man' and discuss the price.
In the Federation, justice is not noble; what is noble are cards, materials, sources, and wealth.
The salary of the investigation team is actually very high, but compared with the risks, it seems not so attractive.
"Meet?" No. 77 scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I can't reveal this, but if you wait here for ten and a half days..."
At this time, the hall of the Card Master Association became noisy, and a colleague waved:
"Hey, something seems to have happened over there at the duel venue!"
Although Chu Yun's face was paralyzed, he still had a gossip mentality and went to the 'dueling venue' in the backyard of the Card Master Association with No. 77.
The duel venue is a place provided for traveling card masters to conduct duels.
The field is divided into two square halves, divided by white lines, and a referee is required in the middle.
Duel modes can be divided into two categories: standard duel (half-turn system) and disordered duel (real-time system)
In a ‘standard duel’, both card-traveling divisions are not allowed to cross their own half of the field. For safety and enjoyment, there will be other rules similar to the turn-based system.
‘Honorary duels’ or ‘underground duels’, or even ‘virtual duels’ online in the source world, do not have so many rules. Whoever knocks out the opponent first wins, so they are collectively called ‘disorderly duels’.
Disordered duels are usually wild and tough, so some card masters look down on standard duels and deride them as "college duels."
However, in recent years, this kind of "academic duel" has gradually become popular, and the disorderly duel with shouting and killing has declined. This can't help but make some travel card masters sigh:
'We are the remnants of the old era...'
There were many busybodies surrounding the venue, looking at the two card masters in the center of the venue.
One of the card artists with brown hair was thin and small, wearing a too-large gold and silver embroidered school robe from Lonicera University.
Another card artist with short red hair had raised corners of his mouth. He was wearing a bright red school uniform with a lion showing its teeth and claws embroidered on the back.
"These two are still top students." The audience murmured among themselves.
"One is Lonicera University and the other is Red Lion Institute of Technology. Just short of a tulip, we have the three top card master colleges in the federation."
"It's useless. I don't think they have even seen monsters with their own eyes."
The noise filled the skinny boy's ears. He took a deep breath, pushed up his round glasses, stuttered and said firmly:
"Gris, please apologize to me and my card."
"Apologise?" Gris crossed his arms and said, "Roger, in the final analysis, the deck master has to rely on the deck to speak for himself."
"A waste card is a waste card. You are not eligible to join the construction. You can be specially recruited by Lonicera. You should know this very well... Oh, it may be that Lonicera's teacher did not read your resume clearly."
Honeysuckle and Red Lion, the two universities are already at odds with each other. Tulip is between the two, wavering.
There was a burst of federal laughter all around. Rogge quietly squeezed his gloves and held an ice card between his fingers.
The face of the card is an ugly, cat-like and somewhat dull spiritual creature.
The 'basic moves' of the spiritual object card are different from the combat skills and characteristics obtained after level breakthrough, and belong to the instinct of the spiritual object.
Like Jolina's snowy owl, wing flapping and pecking are all basic moves.
Several experienced card masters outside the venue discussed in low voices: "The students of Red Lion are right."
"Some cards are just garbage, useless things!"
"Well, weak cards should be eliminated... You can't win a duel just by relying on emotions."
No. 77, who was standing on the sidelines, glanced at the indifferent man next to him, trying to see what his reaction was.
However, Chu Yun paid no attention to the meaningless quarrel between the two little brats.
Instead, he turned his attention to a black-haired young man in the crowd.
He was a man with a tall figure, a tough face, and deep eyes, who was ordinary and indescribably handsome.
When a man like this sits down at a street food stall, the proprietress will give him a braised egg as a thank you for his free advertising.
"This man." Chu Yun held a cigarette in his hand, blew out the smoke ring, and said with some depression and bravery: "Compare with the one I have."
No. 77:?
Minato is shameless.
He's much more handsome than you, okay!

Time went backwards, back to the morning when Lin Xiao just went out.
He is going to the Card Master Association to receive a bottle of green blessing mixture to increase the success rate of card making.
Treat yourself to some delicious food on the way. After all, the pizza last night was cold and tasteless, and then trade the 'Dragon Bone Potion' with Xue Li in the evening.
I went out at the right time, said hello to Mrs. Smith, and within five minutes of waiting at the intersection, the scrap recycling truck arrived.
Lin Xiao got on the back seat of the waste recycling truck, blowing the refreshing morning breeze and listening to the "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound of the recycling truck. Along the way, she passed the ogling hot girl, the fat lady spinning hula hoops, and the old man in a vest spraying water on the lawn.
Uncle, we will arrive at the subway station in about 15 minutes.
Then, he jumped out of the back seat, threw the two star coins 'Dingdang' into the recycling truck, patted the old metal shell and said, "Thank you very much."
The headlights of the scrap recycling truck popped up and flashed twice, as if it was driving away happily.
It has always given out star coins to residents who sell scraps. This is the first time that it has received star coins! (*^▽^*)
Take the train and arrive at the bustling King's Road.
As soon as Lin Xiao walked into the Card Master Association, he saw a large group of people rushing to the backyard. It seemed that a duel was about to start.
Speaking of which, Lin Xiao hadn't seen anyone else's duel before, so he was a little curious and came to the backyard to watch.
"Then let me be the referee."
When Lin Xiao saw No. 77, whom he had met once, he volunteered and walked to the center of the venue.
"The card masters on both sides, Rogge and Gris, are in a standard duel."
"The use of the card is allowed, and the source force barrier value is "1000"."
