The summer in Xingtu City is warm and rainy. After the showers, the sky clears up and the sun is comfortable, making it very pleasant.
Rendong University does not have walls. Visitors can freely visit the campus landscape through the large lawn after making a reservation in advance.
The white camellias were in full bloom, and several picnic cloths were spread out on the lawn. Most of them were tourists, because the semester was coming to an end and the students were busy preparing for exams and had no time to relax.
Jingle bells.
The bell rang, and the beautiful and dashing girl in red put away her stationery, left the lecture theater, and walked down the stone steps.
"Jolina!" Carlo followed her from behind, his tone slightly nervous, "You passed the exam, how do you feel?"
"Yes, it's all what was taught in class." Jolina nodded lightly, "The five creation gods and their dependents who believe in them."
Rendong University takes theology as its key subject, and "The Origin of Fire" and "Tracing the Origin of Creation Myths Part 1" are compulsory courses for first-year students.
I didn’t review last night and was busy participating in the audition. However, I happened to get the ‘God of Chaos’ test today, which surprised Jolina.
These gods were the rulers of the medieval era, and going back further to the primordial era, which was the creation of the five dragons, a realm that humans could not imagine.
"Taught it in class? Really..." Carlo felt dizzy, "Why don't I remember..."
Qiao Linna looked a little helpless: "Don't worry, this is a public required course, and the teacher won't make it too difficult for you."
"Uh-huh, I hope that's the case." Carlo clasped his hands together and looked up at the blue sky, "I just hope that the god of luck will favor me and save me from failing the exam!"
God of luck.
A man covered in black armor suddenly appeared in Qiao Linna's mind.
Through the light curtain, one can also imagine that his tone was particularly harsh: "I have a bye."
Damn seal!
Jolina clenched her red leather gloves slightly and sighed with a slight headache.
But we must admit that his performance last night conquered the entire audience.
Considering his strength, a bye is actually a good thing for other players.
Carlo said: "By the way, Jolina, after the test is over, it will be summer vacation. Where do you plan to go?"
Qiao Linna paused for a moment and said: "Go to... my father's internship, what about you?"
"I have to go back to the countryside to help my parents. The "small rain praying cards" and "insect repellent cards" I made this year will be very useful!"
Carlo's eyes were bright: "I will bring you fresh tomatoes, potatoes, parsley, local eggplants..."
Qiao Linna listened quietly, smiled slightly, and suddenly said:
"We'll be sophomores in the second half of the year, Carlo."
"Huh? That's right, I didn't even react..."
"There will be new students enrolling."
Red Lion was the alma mater of Roman Ulysses.
The Red Lion, Tulip, and Honeysuckle have been rivals in the college league for many years.
Jolina looked up at the clear blue sky, with her high ponytail swaying gently, her beautiful snow neck, delicate profile, and clear red eyes, and said:
"The freshmen have some good prospects. We will strive to beat the Red Lion this year..."
*
The Star Sky Cup has a full schedule. In order to maintain the popularity, the top 64 promotion matches will start tonight.
Lin Xiao didn't have to worry, because he had a bye!
In her free time, Lin Xiao decided to take Dafu out for a walk and go to Shangcheng to buy 'Queen Bee Honey' as the main ingredient for synthesizing "Happiness Bread".
After drinking the dragon bone potion, take a shower and go out.
The weather was sunny, and the sun shone on the soft, snow-white fur of the baby seal, giving it a golden light.
Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at it.
"Oh?" Dafu raised his head and looked at his master who was standing still in confusion.
Lin Xiao said: "Let me rub it again!"
Dafu panicked: "Oh!! (??Д??ノ)ノ"
Fat seals are the favorite food of the top predators in the North, such as polar bears and killer whales.
And some cute little seals cannot escape the clutches of humans.
Lin Xiao was sitting in the back seat of the scrap recycling truck, holding the little seal on her lap.
"Ooo~" the little seal squinted its eyes comfortably, took a spin, and called lazily.
Arriving at the subway entrance, Dafu was dissipated into cards by Lin Xiao and took back the fire.
We drove all the way uptown to the bustling Fifth Avenue and walked into a high-end card master's store selling spiritual materials.
The Card Master Shop will specifically sell materials for Card Masters. The higher the Card Master Association badge level, the more props you can purchase.
Lin Xiao showed his "Silver Card Maker" badge and used his remaining balance to buy three cans of "Queen Bee Honey". He was suddenly destitute.
Fortunately, the reward I cashed out on the 15th will be credited to my account. After paying off the outstanding debt of the first one on the list, I can still have a balance of more than 10,000 star coins.
After walking out of the store, Lin Xiao looked at the three jars of "Queen Honey" sealed with blank cards in her hands. After putting them in the fire, she looked up at the sky:
"It's all here."
"Let's go to the Card Master Association on the way..."
*
Card Players Association, staff lounge.
"Level 1 alert, level 1 alert!"
"What happened? Monsters attacked the city?"
"It's Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao is coming to the Card Master Association!"
"Fuck you, this is not the first level of alert... So, No. 77, it's up to you to receive him!"
No. 77 walked out of the employee lounge with a gloomy look on his face. Hearing a greeting from behind, his steps suddenly trembled.
"Hey, coach No. 77, I'm looking for you."
Lin Xiao stood behind him and said with a smile: "This time, please help me reserve a training room. Thank you!"
No. 77 mechanically turned his head and said with a smile: "The training room has been undergoing maintenance recently..."
"Didn't you just get the equipment a few days ago?" Lin Xiao was surprised.
"There is another temporary maintenance today!" No. 77 said righteously.
"Okay..." Lin Xiao nodded and asked again, "There is no training room for spiritual creatures?"
Dafu is currently at level 23, and Lin Xiao wants to try its unlocked combat skill "Round and Round".
Furthermore, the investigation team cooperates with the Card Master Association, and elite operators come here for training for free.
"Spiritual creature?"
No. 77 was slightly startled and said alertly: "Which spiritual creature do you want to train? Can it manifest itself to me Kangkang?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
"Come, Dafu."
The light particles revealed a cute little snow-white seal, raising its head and blinking, with two small eyes under its short eyebrows, looking at No. 77 curiously.
No. 77: "..."
Oh my God, my girly heart is about to melt!
"Ahem!" No. 77 clenched his fists and coughed, "Well, there is a spiritual creature training room, but what level of spiritual creature is it?"
"Second level." Lin Xiao said.
"Well...it's not like there isn't a second-level training room." No. 77 said: "I just want to remind you that the training of spiritual objects is different from the training of equipment and spells. We will let you according to the level of your spiritual objects.
Employees serve as your sparring partners.”
"No problem." Lin Xiao agreed readily.
No. 77 glanced at the little seal again, reluctant to let go.
It's a pity that I am only responsible for the training of the equipment card. The training of the spiritual object card has to be left to No. 55...
Such a little thing shouldn't demolish the training room again like Lin Xiao did last time, right?
It shouldn't be possible.
Spiritual creatures like baby seals are generally regarded as cute creatures in the card game industry, and only a few can actually be used in duels.
No. 77 is smiling.
It doesn’t matter if the card master cheats and dismantles the training room, but your spiritual object can also cheat?
"Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to show you the way."
On the 77th, I walked into the employee lounge, and not long after, a young lady full of energy walked out.
No. 55 looked at the little seal, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a moment.
Dafu tilted his head: "Ouwu?"
No. 55: “It’s so cute!!”
She looked at Lin Xiao with sparkling eyes: "Please let me be its sparring partner. Of course, I won't let it go. I just want to watch it for a while longer!"
Lin Xiao just wanted to test his combat skills and nodded lightly: "Sorry to trouble you."
After a while, there was the spiritual creature training room and the duel venue.
Player No. 55 pinched a card and stood on the side of the field. His aura seemed to have changed. He said seriously:
"I will manifest a second-level spiritual creature as a training partner for the little seal... However, I will not show mercy. I will not be responsible for any problems after destroying it."
"I have a question." Lin Xiao said, "During the duel, using the venue, or changing the terrain, does it count as a violation?"
"Of course not." No. 55 laughed, "This is also the art of command! Therefore, we are responsible for the maintenance of the venue!"
Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly froze, he held the card in his hand and said aggressively, "It's a deal!"
No. 55 was stunned.
This handsome guy's eyes... Why did he suddenly become serious?
"Be careful."
No. 55 didn't pay attention. The card between his fingers shattered into particles of light, flew to the side of the field, and said loudly:
"Come on, Cobra!"
"Poison Mamba, second-level spiritual card, green quality"
"Talent: Poison: Poison Mamba contains poison, and its attack has a high probability of causing the opponent to fall into a 'poisoned' state."
Mamba snakes are a genus of the cobra family, all of which are highly venomous snakes.
Poison Mamba was covered in green and belonged to the second level like Dafu. Lin Xiao did not underestimate the enemy and said calmly:
"Come, great blessing!"
"Ooooo!" Dafu was full of energy. Facing the cobra, his aura was intact.
On the contrary, it was the intimidation emanating from Dafu that made the cobra shrink its neck, its eyes looking strange and fearful.
It's obviously just a little seal... Why can its momentum be compared to that of the Snake King?
Although No. 55 likes the little seal very much, he cannot let go during training. He commanded: "Cobra, venom shot!"
"Hiss!" Poison Mamba stood up straight and spit out poisonous arrows from his mouth.
"Dafu, round and round, accelerating around the field!"
The little seal rolled itself up like a snow-white bowling ball, rolling to avoid poisonous arrows.
At the same time, the momentum of Dafu's rolling was getting faster and faster. Amidst the "rumbling" sound, trenches were plowed on the field. The trenches were crisscrossing and getting deeper and deeper. The entire field was in danger!
Cold sweat broke out on No. 55's forehead, which was incredible.
This, what kind of combat skill is this?
The power and speed can be continuously improved, completely beyond the second level!
Daifuku's "Yuanyuangun" can increase the speed and power by up to 100%.
It's just a second-order cobra, and it will come with you in the training room!
"Go." Lin Xiao stretched out his hand.
Daifuku version of bowling!
"Ooooo!"
The snow-white rolling little round dumplings rushed up a steep slope created by themselves and jumped high into the air.
Under the shocked gazes of No. 55 and Poison Mamba, Dafu fell from the sky and suppressed them brazenly!
Boom!!
Dust and smoke filled the air, and the site sank with a "click", raising dust all over the sky.
Under Dafu's body, the Poison Mamba has turned into particles of light, floating back to No. 55's trembling fingers.
"Oh! (●w)??" Dafu turned around.
You see, if you eat more, it still works!
Lin Xiao crossed her arms and nodded.
Well... Dafu has gradually grown up.
Although playing the Starry Sky Cup is very difficult.
But in the future, if there is a rookie cup, youth cup, etc., Dafu can take the lead!
No. 55 glanced at the training ground that was almost in ruins.
You, you call this a second-order baby seal?!
This combat skill is at the third level, just like a critical hit!
No. 55 wants to cry but has no tears: (*??)
Following No. 77, No. 66, and No. 44.
Now, is it my turn, this delicate flower, to be persecuted?
However, this little seal named 'Dafu' is so cute, and I can touch its fur later...
This, this wave is not a loss!
*
It's getting late.
Lin Xiao tested the effectiveness of the little seal's combat skills, and hurried back to the rental house with the 'Queen Bee Honey' he purchased, satisfied.
The decoration team worked overtime temporarily to repair the training room.
Employees No. 77, No. 66 and other employees stood at the door of the training room, comforting No. 55.
"It's okay, the president bought insurance." No. 77 said.
"Just be open-minded, that's Lin Xiao." No. 66 said.
"Yes, he will come many times in the future." No. 44 said.
Everyone: "Shut up!"
Lin Xiao, Card Master Association, lifelong enemy!
