The Levitanya Building is located on Snow King Street, the "financial lifeline of the Federation". Business elites and securities traders come and go there, and high-level card dealers often appear there.
Lin Xiao will go back to the company in the afternoon to go through the resignation procedures, and then take the subway to the commercial street to buy a set of gaming equipment from the source world.
Deng Deng Deng.
When Lin Xiao went downstairs, he happened to meet the landlord who lived on the first floor. This building has two floors of attic rooms. The upstairs is rented, and the landlord lives downstairs.
She cooked stew in the narrow "kitchen" at the foot of the stairs, which was actually just a stove.
The oil smoke kept pouring into the corridor, and the sight of the bright flame and the paper box next to it made Lin Xiao tremble with fear.
"Lin Xiao."
Mrs. Smith has always felt that the tenant upstairs has a convoluted name and is withdrawn and difficult to get close to.
The old lady still looked kindly and said gently: "You want to try the stew I just made, yellow curry, onion rings, ham..."
"The stew is very fragrant." Lin Xiao smiled, "But no, thank you, I have something to go out now."
"In addition, if necessary, I will bring you a "stove card" so that there will be no risk of fire and it will be more convenient to store."
"Hearth Card" is a zero-level card used in the field of life. It cannot be upgraded and relies on the "First-level Source Card" as the main energy source.
The cost will be more than that of an old-fashioned stove. The advantage is that it is safe, does not require cleaning, is easy to organize, and is cost-effective.
There are many zero-level cards like this that are used in the field of life in Blue Star, and the cards are therefore integrated into every aspect of life.
The old lady adjusted her reading glasses.
She was surprised to feel that Lin Xiao looked different today.
Are you more cheerful? Or maybe you have a smile on your face, which makes people feel friendly at first sight?
""Stove Card", it will be very expensive, I think it is more convenient to use the old-fashioned one."
"No, I'll sell it to you at my employee's price... I won't have a chance in the future."
Lin Xiao thought that she could still earn a few hundred star coins in the end: "I will resign from Levitanya today."
The old lady pursed her lips and did not ask any further questions. It was hard to find a job these days and she was a little worried about Lin Xiao.
"Bring a "stove card" and I'll give it a try. If it works well, I'll buy it... Also." The old lady nodded and said, "Lin Xiao, you are quite suitable for smiling."
"Sell the cards with a smile," the old lady added.
Lin Xiao had actually done sales work before and smiled politely:
"Thank you, and wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night."
With Lin Xiao's good looks and smile, he could be compared to Louis Koo in his prime. He is a murderer of all ages and both sexes, so he is a little bit behind the readers.
Whether you are playing cards or in life, always wear a smile.
This is Lin Xiao's life creed.
He is full of yearning for life - such as Thursdays at KFC, half-price potato chips at the canteen, and French fries at the pier.
To sum up, Lin Xiao is a positive and optimistic boy with sunshine.
My favorite deck when playing Hearthstone is Dirty Priest, my favorite general when playing Three Kingdoms is Xu Sheng, and my favorite hero when playing LOL is tower-stealing Thain...
Friends all praised him, it was a miracle that he was not killed by netizens offline.
Get out of the rental house and get some fresh air.
Lin Xiao looked up at the gray sky.
The city at the far end is full of tall buildings, billboards are so big that it's scary, shuttle jets fly through the sky, and duplex overpasses are dazzling.
There is the west bank of the Rosen River, the so-called "upper city" of Xingtu City, which brings together the economic center and bustling business district.
As for the east bank of the Rosen River, it is where I am, a landfill, a welfare house, a community school... a place called "Lower City", divided into more than 200 streets.
For some reason, Lin Xiao suddenly missed the fragrance of rice blowing in the wind in front of the orphanage, and recalled the words of a sage named Xiao.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, don't bully the young to be poor, don't bully the middle-aged to be poor, don't bully the old to be poor, the dead will be the biggest!

In the afternoon, Lin Xiao completed the resignation procedures from Levitanya Company.
Colleagues felt very sorry for Lin Xiao's resignation, because a person who really knew how to make cards was leaving.
The manager didn't try to persuade Lin Xiao to stay. Many times he wanted to tell Lin Xiao that he didn't have to work so hard, but he stopped.
This time Lin Xiao took the initiative to resign, and the manager was actually happy for him.
"Change to a better job. You graduated from Liandong Middle School. There is no need to stick here."
The manager patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and handed over a "stove card."
"This "stove card" is supposed to be a scrapped defective product. With your skill level, it should be repairable, so I won't charge you any money..."
Lin Xiao gained a lot of repair knowledge from his predecessor and could appreciate the manager's care for his predecessor.
After this "stove card" is repaired and sold to Mrs. Smith, 200 star coins can be credited to the account.
Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude, and the manager nodded slightly and offered sincere advice.
"Have you found a suitable next employer?"
"Not yet, I plan to try my luck in the source world." Lin Xiao said.
"Source World." The manager said, "Indeed, many card masters have made a fortune in the virtual world. But you don't have the equipment yet, right?"
"I recommend going to Spark Direct on Fifth Avenue. It's a bit expensive, but it's safer. You know, those second-hand virtual cabins are too risky. Sometimes even your home address will be leaked..."
Spark Direct is affiliated to Spark Group, the company that released ‘Source World’.
It mainly sells supporting products of the source world, such as eyepieces, virtual helmets, virtual cabins, etc.
Lin Xiao came to the bustling Fifth Avenue, walked into a simple and high-end specialty store, and purchased a basic virtual cabin on the recommendation of the clerk.
The price of this set of equipment is 8888, and the "door-to-door delivery" service requires another 300 star coins. Lin Xiao was cash-strapped and said:
"There is no need for door-to-door service. I am a famous card specialist."
Young and handsome card master... No wonder he can manifest it in person...
The beautiful eyes of the shop assistant showed a hint of brilliance, her tone was a little gentler, and she led Lin Xiao to sign a few terms.
"Um." The clerk looked at Lin Xiao's side face as she signed the contract seriously, with her two long black legs together, leaning forward, with a refreshing fragrance, and her hands brushing her long hair to her ears, "I... get off work at eight o'clock...
"
"Awesome." Lin Xiao praised, reaching out and handing back the signed contract.
The welfare package of Spark Direct is good, and you can get off work at 8pm. When I was doing planning, I had to work overtime until the early morning every day.
The clerk smiled politely, sealed the "virtual cabin card" and handed it to Lin Xiao with both hands.
That night, Lin Xiao handed the repaired "stove card" to Mrs. Smith. After trying it, the old lady gave it a thumbs up and waived Lin Xiao's rent for one week.
"200 star coins can be exchanged for one week's rent. I've made a lot of money." Lin Xiao said to her heart.
Arriving at the small pavilion upstairs, Lin Xiao made room for the virtual cabin, and followed the light screen projected on the instruction card to operate step by step.
"Successful."
Lin Xiao looked at the bright silver virtual cabin, his eyes lit up, "Next, just lie down on it and put on the helmet."
Entering the virtual world for the first time, I was a little excited.
Lin Xiao calmed down, lay down in the virtual cabin, and put on the helmet with goggles.
Gradually, the bright silver virtual cabin releases light, scanning through the body, and the eyepiece lights up with a high-tech red light.
"Connect and start." Lin Xiao said.
Not long after, white light bloomed in front of my eyes, which felt a bit similar to the last time I switched to the card drawing interface.
After gradually adapting, Lin Xiao found herself in a pure white space: a "source world" created by virtual reality technology.
The silver-white walls were extremely avant-garde. Lin Xiao stood in the center of the room, wearing a Loga T-shirt given by Source World.
In front of Lin Xiao's eyes, a curtain of light appeared.
[Dear card master, it is detected that you have not registered a source world account. Do you want to register with one click? 】
Lin Xiao clicked OK, and after just a few seconds, the text changed again.
[Your source world account has been registered, please confirm your personal image and username. 】
A mirror appears in front of you. The mirror displays various data and you can pinch your face, but some good-looking facial data and fashions require payment to unlock.
In the paid data, Lin Xiao even saw the Hulk, the Ancient Octopus God, the Avatar, the yellow sponge, the pink starfish...
Lin Xiao rubbed her chin, feeling that her face could only be made ugly, but she couldn't do it.
Looking at the palm of his hand, Lin Xiao found that he could still mobilize the power of 'fire'.
"Card armed." Lin Xiao said, "Armed and possessed!"
Clang!
A big man in black gold armor with a huge sword on his back, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a helmet, stood tall in front of the mirror.
[Detecting... After detection, do you want to select this image as your personal image? 】
"It's really okay." Lin Xiao was surprised, "I'm sure."
Armed possession is an ability that only fourth-level diamond-level card masters can master.
When they enter the source world, they often choose to show others this image.
Firstly, it shows strength, and secondly, it saves trouble. The possessed image of the third source world does not consume source power, and it is done with being handsome.
【Please enter your ID.】
Lin Xiaodan grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, put the edgeless heavy sword on his shoulder armor, and fell into thinking. The red lines on the dark sword body burned brightly, announcing that the meteor sword was already hungry and thirsty.
Bang!
The heavily armored man placed the Meteor Sword on the floor, with his palms overlapping against the end of the hilt. Lin Xiao said:
