‘Qing Kui’ is Qiao Linna’s name in the origin world, which means ‘the happily growing sunflower’.
Her full name is Jolene Jones, and her father is Mr. Jolon Jones, a famous federal real estate agent.
Mr. Jones was originally a poor nobleman from the Kingdom of Glory. His family moved to the Federation to run real estate. In his words:
"Our family has been gentlemen for generations."
This Mr. Jones is also a legendary figure. He was born handsome and tall. He graduated from the Imperial University Law School. A serious illness accidentally ignited the fire and became a card master.
With outstanding academic qualifications, handsome appearance and a famous card dealer, Mr. Jones's career in glory should have been smooth, but unfortunately he has a majestic hobby: he likes wives.
As a result, Mr. Jones owed a lot of romantic debts and was a well-known stomach patient in the social circle.
The birth of Jolina was purely accidental. She was the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Jones and a lady named Flora.
Logically speaking, this daughter is not yet married, so she is not worthy of Mr. Jones's XP, but by chance, she is engaged in Flora and will be getting married in six months!
Being intercepted halfway by the hero is a yes.
In order to maintain their political status, the nobles of the Glory Kingdom often form family marriages.
Miss Flora was born into a noble family, and she didn't even know whether her partner was tall or short, fat or thin, male or female before they got engaged.
And our Mr. Jones cannot be said to be a poor man, but at least he has the wind on his sleeves and his pocket is cleaner than his face.
At this point in the story, I believe many people can imagine the elopement scene between a poor boy and a rich daughter.
Mr. Jones also plans this, but any plan must consider realistic factors.
The reality is that Miss Flora has a grandfather who is of some status—Rongguang’s ‘Iron-fisted Prime Minister’ and ‘Chief Card Master’ Kevins.
After the scandal of Flora's pregnancy came out, Kevins was furious, the engagement was cancelled, Flora was fined and sentenced to solitary confinement, and she vowed not to marry again.
Because Mr. Jones offended the prime minister, he had to take a boat to the Federation overnight. From then on, he started a real estate business and made a fortune.
Surprisingly, Flora did not abort the child, but secretly sent her daughter to the Royal Ecclesiastical College for Women and named her 'Jolina', hoping that she would grow up to be a free spirit like her father.
There is no mention of Jolina's existence in any literature of the Flora family. Considering her maternal great-grandfather's extraordinary ability, he might just pretend Jolina didn't exist because he didn't want to pursue it.
At the Royal College for Ladies, Jolina learned how to be a lady:
Fights are considered light. She can use a slingshot to break a glass window from 800 meters away, then pass the blame to the kitten and escape unscathed.
The nuns don't hate this naughty child, and the reason is very simple...Jolina is smart, has nimble hands and feet, and the most important thing is that she is cute.
When she was a child, Jolina inherited the looks of Mr. Jones and Miss Flora. She had golden-gray hair and a boyish heroic spirit in her soft eyebrows.
She adopted stray cats from the church, and her biggest hobby every day is to help her cats fight. She will feel sad all day long if she loses to a stray cat outside the school.
As the saying goes, there are cats and fields on campus, and life is full of joy.
Unfortunately, when Jolinna was twelve years old, her mother passed away, her father was no longer heard from, and the few maids who knew her life experience also ran away with their money.
Jolina was helpless from then on, and voluntarily left school because her tuition fees were due, and worked in a golden job that has been handed down for centuries - Orphan in Twist, commonly known as a beggar.
What kind of place is the Fog City? On the one hand, there are many wealthy businessmen and it has the world's largest high-end card trading market. On the other hand, there are many gangs and smuggling is rampant. Cases of abducting women and children with the help of "phantom cards" are common.
But in just two years, Jolina mingled with the Fog City gang and made a living by relying on the rapier skills she learned in the church. She also taught herself blunderbuss, daggers and privately made gunpowder.
When she was 14 years old, Jolina lit a fire of the same color as her father, Mr. Jones: a golden fire as beautiful as gold.
Also in this year, Jolina awakened her talent as a card master, "Heart as still as water".
When the card master ignites the fire, there is a small probability of awakening exclusive talents. These talents symbolize the card master's innate ability, spirit and belief.
Although Jolina was born into a noble family, she never enjoyed a day of fine clothing and food; although she lived at the bottom of society, she always kept in mind the teachings of her mother who could not remember her appearance:
"Jolina, you want to be the free wind."
It is this kind of freedom, romance and pride engraved in her bones that has enabled Jolina to grow up to this day.
Relying on the power of "fire", Qiao Linna won every duel and single-handedly stopped the Fog City gangs from invading the elderly, women and children.
And with the appearance of a fire gun, a rapier, and a pirate hat, she became the "Pirate Queen" that was widely known in the foggy city.
That year, Jolina was 16 years old.
Mr. Jones was nearly fifty years old and his business in the Federation was booming. He learned that he had a daughter from a maid who came to blackmail her.
That night, Mr. Jones stayed up all night, and early the next morning he took the ferry back to the foggy capital he had not seen for many years.
Ten years ago, he graduated from Imperial University and saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. Ten years later, he was unmarried and only wanted to see his biological daughter.
Witnessed by the Twist Gang, Mr. Jones and Jolina had a card showdown.
In the end, Mr. Jones defeated his daughter at the cost of serious injuries.
Jolina also agreed to return to the Federation with her father, with only one condition: Mr. Jones must support her unconditionally and become the Federation's 'Chief Card Master'.
Jolina has seen the suffering at the bottom of Fog City and the prosperity of the upper class of the Federation, and she has the desire to improve the current situation at the bottom.
Just like her talent as a card artist, Jolina felt calm and set her own dream:
"Become the unparalleled national warrior of the Free Federation."
‘Guo Shi Wushuang’ is the honorific title given to the chief card master of a country. Each country will only have one ‘Guo Shi Wushuang’.
And the card masters who can be called the 'unparalleled national warriors' are all seventh level without exception.
Therefore, the seventh-level card master is also respected as a "national scholar" by the world.
In order to become an 'unparalleled national warrior', Jolina needs to use all available power.
She was admitted to the prestigious federal school ‘Lonicera University’, registered a Source World account, and followed the information of card masters around the world in real time.
With Qiao Linna's current strength as a fourth-level card master, she is fully qualified to enter the advanced channel.
But she still likes to stay in low-level channels, maybe because it can remind her of some past events in the foggy city.
The wind is very noisy today, and it is said that it is because of a fourth-level card master who is showing off in the market.
Jolina saw the man in the hall: wearing black armor and a steel helmet, he stopped and looked around.
He didn't seem to understand low-level channels, which reminded Jolina of herself when she first arrived in the origin world.
'Level 4 Card Master.' Jolina thought to herself, 'Maybe we can invite him to challenge that copy...'
[Dungeon] is an important mechanism in the source world.
Card masters can enter the [dungeon] through the teleportation circle in the source world, defeat the monsters and bosses inside, and obtain materials, cards and other rewards.
If the card master fails to challenge the dungeon, there will be a death penalty, and his own source power and card level will be slightly reduced, as if he was absorbed...
Countless card players complained to Spark Group about this, but the reply they received was, 'This is part of the game mechanism.'
It’s almost like saying, ‘Don’t play if you don’t like it’.
Jolina's cards tend to be output-oriented, so she needs to find a defensive teammate, and the heavy-armed man in front of her looks just right.
Heavy sword without edge...
After greetings, Qiao Linna learned the man’s ID, nodded politely, and asked:
"Do you need help?"
The man hidden under the helmet said in a dull voice: ‘I want to know which floor the ‘Caravan Duel’ is on.”
"Level 7." Jolina crossed her arms and looked up and down, "You look good in this outfit."
"Thank you." the man replied, "your image is also very beautiful."
"Maybe I'm a 300-pound fat man under the helmet?"
Jolina was a little bored.
Growing up, Jolina was used to hearing compliments on her appearance, and the Twist Gang's compliments on women were somewhat contemptuous and frivolous.
So Jolina doesn't like others to comment on her appearance - although pride drives her to be strict with herself and never let her body fat exceed an inch.
As for why she used her personal image to log in... Jolina didn't want to waste time on trivial matters like 'hiding her image'. Even if it would attract enemies, she still had an indifferent attitude.
"Three hundred catties." the man asked, "so what."
Jolina raised her red pupils, a trace of astonishment flashing across her eyes.
Lin Xiao turned to look at the bustling players in the hall. Those personal images with different styles were like containers, holding all kinds of souls.
Regardless of appearance, family background, or personality, under any circumstances, Lin Xiao would not belittle anyone casually to gain superiority and complacency.
"Not everyone in this world has favorable conditions."
Lin Xiao looked back at Qiao Linna, his eyes briefly lingering on her long snow-white legs, as if he was imagining something, and said in a deep voice:
"Of course, for your health reasons... you should exercise appropriately if you weigh 300 pounds."
