The subway entrance was closed. Lin Xiao closed her umbrella and got into the back seat of the black car and announced her destination:
"Across the Star Map Bridge, 255th Street, No. 21B."
Chu Yun sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel tightly with two black gloves, looking in the rearview mirror, and said calmly:
"You are very conscious... let me, a senior operator, drive for you."
"I don't have a driver's license from Xingtu City, but my driving skills are pretty good. How about you do it for me?"
"No need, sit tight."
Chu Yun stepped on the accelerator, and the black car cut through the rainy night and drove towards the magnificent Star Map Bridge.
Lin Xiao stared at the turbulent black sea outside the bridge through the rain-curtained glass window, and said:
"What kind of creature is a deep diver?"
"It has a fish head and a human body, with high ridged scales. The body size has been recorded from half a meter to three meters. The grades range from C to A. They are amphibious on land and water. They communicate with each other using a language called 'Murloc Language'.
"Chu Yun looked forward.
"Murloc language?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but think of the murloc creatures in World of Warcraft that shouted "Wow, wow, wow".
He remembered that the 'Deep One' was a monster from the Cthulhu Mythos.
In World of Warcraft, many elements have been borrowed from the Ke family. According to Blizzard employees, murlocs are derived from deep divers.
"Well, it's a language used by aquatic monsters to communicate. The lobster people also use this kind of language..." Chu Yun said in a strange tone, "It is said that there are dialects in the murloc language, which is really bizarre."
"You guy, don't underestimate the fish people." Lin Xiao complained.
This is a classic miscellaneous fish monster that appears in various fantasy works, and its qualifications are comparable to those of slimes and goblins.
"I never look down on my enemies... Here we are, I'll pick you up tomorrow night, go to bed early."
Boom.
Lin Xiao closed the car door, holding a black umbrella and looking up at the night sky after the rain. The smell of heat and earth came to her, and the taillights of the old black car gradually drove away.
'With my strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to complete this commission.'
Lin Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, 'It's just that we must be careful and let Brother Chu Yun take the lead when going on a mission.'
Following the heart is a science!
Lin Xiao walked into the rental house and walked upstairs slowly, not wanting to disturb other people's rest.
Arriving on the second floor, Lin Xiao put her wet windbreaker on the hanger and relaxed with a sigh.
The day was very fulfilling.
First, I went to the Card Artists Association to take the "Silver Card Maker" assessment and received a fifth-level card making pattern, which can be used for card making training.
Then he passed the investigation team test, officially became a "junior operator", and found a way to return to Central Continent and obtain source dust, killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Xiao took off his gloves, and a cluster of black flames ignited in his palms. A card condensed between his fingers, turning into particles of light, and gradually appeared as a snow-white baby seal.
"Ooo~(*?ω-q)" Dafu covered his sleepy little black eyes with his flippers.
"Dafu, let me take a breath of European energy." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "Help me be promoted to group leader as soon as possible!"
"Oh! (σ???)σ" Dafu was picked up by Lin Xiao. The short whiskers on both sides of his black nose arched, and he wiggled his nose and sniffed Lin Xiao.
Suck the bad luck away from you!

Friday, May 27th.
The sun was shining brightly, the birds were chirping softly, and Lin Xiao lay on the wooden bed with his arms pillowed on his head and yawned.
I slept soundly this time, all my energy levels were restored, and the remaining fatigue in my body and brain was completely dissipated.
What came into view was Dafu's chubby little white butt, with his back to him, lying on the bed playing with a tablet.
"Ooo! (?ω?)" The little seal waved his little hand.
Swish, swish, I am the Fruit Ninja!
Lin Xiao stood up and patted the little seal's butt, earning a resentful look from Dafu, and then browsed the card data.
Thanks to the absorption of the purple resource "Frost Soul", Dafu's level has increased rapidly and has reached level 15.
By the time Dafu reaches the second level, its strength will be enough to accept challenges from some rival clubs.
Last night, I used the ice spear technique to knock down the elite operator "Grizzly Bear" of the fourth group, and my level increased by one level, reaching level 31.
‘I can often discuss with the operators of the fourth group.’
Lin Xiao thought expectantly: 'They are good at [defensive type], they can't be beaten to death, and they can also give me experience points!'
The level of the Meteor Sword is still level 56, and the preparation of materials for the sixth level breakthrough is still far away. Currently, I have only saved two purple "dragon bones".
I hope this C-level commission can produce purple or gold materials suitable for the Meteoric Sword...
Lin Xiao paused for a moment and shook his head dumbly.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
It's just a C-level mission, but it's not A-level. How can it be possible to get golden materials!
*
I looked at the time, it was ten in the morning, and the mission time was at six tonight.
Lin Xiao came to the card-making table and continued to practice the fourth-level lines, slowly improving his proficiency in outlining.
With his current level, he is still unable to outline the fifth-order lines, but by observing the exquisite fifth-order lines, Lin Xiao has gained a lot.
Applying the insights he gained into card-making training, Lin Xiao sighed again:
"These fourth-level textures are really difficult..."
However, I was able to outline three fourth-order lines in half an hour.
I don’t believe that we can’t completely outline ten routes in one afternoon!”
Relying on his deep strength and long-lasting willpower, Lin Xiao concentrated on making cards.
Bang, bang, bang... The sound of blank cards being scrapped continued one after another. Fortunately, the blank cards used for training were very cheap, and even civilian card makers like Lin Xiao could afford them.
Three hours later.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao, who had forgotten about food and sleep, wiped the sweat from his forehead, admired the shining ten-striped road in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction:
"In this way, today's training volume will be completed..."
One set of training consumed a total of 20,000 source power points, and the efficiency was much higher than yesterday.
By relying on natural recovery and eating blue quality "Tuna Swordfish Cuisine", you can fully recover before taking action at night, thereby ensuring that you will not fall in the C-level commission.
This is Lin Xiao's "full blood" obsessive-compulsive disorder!
During the card study session.
Shirley sighed softly: "@六十sanniang, the fourth-order texture is really difficult. I didn't succeed in sketching it even once, so I ran out of energy."
"These lines are indeed somewhat difficult. The amount of training required to completely outline all ten lines would take a graduate student a week."
Liu Shisanniang comforted: "So, let's practice slowly."
Lin Xiao, who was resting in the water group, couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this a week’s worth of training?
Why don't you leave a note in the folder.
I thought it was a one-time training volume.
I was so dizzy that I finished it all at once!
This is like a teacher assigning homework, and after you go home and work hard to complete it, you realize that this is a week's worth of homework.
It's both helpless and funny, but also gives me a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Lin Xiao sighed for a long time and sent a lucky emoticon.
Heavy Sword Man: "[Leopard Head Crying]·jpg"
"Why does Brother Da Jian post such cute emoticons?" Xue Yin Dao expressed surprise, "This is not in line with your style of painting!"
"Brother Dao, you are the one with the most unique painting style, right?" Wen Tailai was helpless.
Xueyin Dao made a look of "contempt": "Look at the group list, the gorilla and the little raccoon, these are the ones with unique painting style."
The Ghost Bride exclaimed: "As expected of Brother Dao, he can accurately start more than two groups every time. I admire him."
Xue Yin's knife "handled" and "bared his teeth and smiled": "You're welcome!"
"@雪音刀, my group name is clearly Red Panda..." The Red Panda was angry, "The note you gave me was 'Little Raccoon', right!"
Xue Yin Dao: "Ah, is there any difference between the two?"
"Group member "Xue Yin Dao" has been banned by the group leader "Red Panda" for two hours."
Lin Xiao was stunned.
I actually want to ask the same question as Brother Dao...
But for now, I think it’s better to avoid it!

Queen's Road, Investigation Team.
The woman in red dress moves her strong and slender legs, her light blonde high ponytail sways, her profile is tall and delicate, and her red eyes reveal a tough gaze.
She stood in front of the oppressive mahogany door, took a breath, held the metal door handle tightly with both hands, and pushed it open.
Under the majestic giant oil painting, there is a precious rosewood writing desk, with documents placed on the huge and shiny table top. A small Caucasian woman sits on the boss's chair behind.
The team leader has deep features, a fair face, red hair with fishtail braid hanging down on a plump white shirt, and a smile:
"I've heard that you, a top student at Lonicera University, signed up for an internship with the investigation team... Jolina Jones, right?"
Qiao Linna nodded slightly and said: "The rumored investigation team has the concept of destroying monsters and card-destroying masters. This is why I am here."
"Well... you are only a freshman, and your father is very famous. With your family background, you don't have to work hard for the investigation team." Margaret put her chin in her hands and made a nasal sound.
"I heard someone say that a Brigadier's growth is either on the journey or on the battlefield."
Qiao Linna's red eyes were calm: "If you stay within the wall, you won't be able to see the higher scenery, and you won't be able to hear the cries further away... I have made a decision, so I am here."
"You..." Margaret paused, sighing in her tone, "Your idea of fire seems to be far beyond my expectation."
"Then why do you allow me to recruit you at the risk of being resented by Mr. Jones?" Margaret crossed her arms.
"I will convince my father."
Jolina took off her red musk leather gloves, and a small golden flame ignited in her palm, condensing an awe-inspiring card with sharp red eyes:
"In addition, I am a fourth-level card master."
Margaret was silent.
At her age, she is actually at the fourth level. She has experienced countless cruel duels, which is admirable.
And...golden flame? According to legend, the fire controlled by Pharaoh Sharo was golden.
In just two days, two incredible newcomers arrived.
"My suggestion is to assign you to the eighth group, which is mainly 'temporary workers.'" Margaret said, "Most of the operators in the eighth group act alone and belong directly to me. The risks and rewards will be higher.
,Although I don’t know what the reward is for you...what do you think?"
Without the awareness to take risks, he would never be able to keep up with the pace of the epee man and Roman Ulysses.
Qiao Linna nodded slightly: "I still have my studies to take care of. Apart from that, I will leave it to you to arrange the entrustment."
"Students of Cardiff College generally have social practice in large companies and large enterprises." Margaret smiled sweetly, "You have chosen the most unwise internship route... However, I like you very much, and I can give it to you now.
Arrange the commission."
Jolina was silent, frowning slightly, looking down at the tablet pushed on the table.
"This is a B-level commission. It is recommended that a fourth-level card master accept it."
Margaret's eyes were deep and her tone was warning:
"The poor people living in the sewers of Star Map City are also called the 'sewer clan'. More than 10 people have gone missing recently, which is a large number of casualties. However, because they are homeless... they have not attracted much attention."
"Yesterday's heavy rain washed three corpses from the sewers. They were discovered by the police one after another at the drainage outlet. They all had the following characteristics: they were haggard, like dry paper, and their blood was completely gone."
Qiao Linna's red eyes flickered and her lips moved slightly: "It's very much like..."
Margaret leaned back on the boss's chair, crossed her legs, and spoke calmly:
"It's very similar to the vampires, or vampires, that are common in fantasy novels."
