Chapter 070 Great Fortune, God of Blindly Eating Fish
Second Avenue, Seaside Estates.
The curtains opened a crack, and Mr. Jones stood by the window, looking down.
It was a dilapidated black car, and three members of the investigation team stepped out of it.
He is her daughter's friend, at least that's how Jolina explained it, but Mr. Jones didn't believe it.
Presumably they came to the manor this time to assist Jolina in completing a 'commission'.
Beside the window, the tall and handsome blond man sighed softly, closed the curtains, and ignored him.
"She still joined the investigation team." Mr. Jones said to himself: "To hone herself through commissions... I respect her choice."
Fire is the embodiment of the card master's spiritual power.
The tougher the card master is, the more fire power he can store, which is like having a bigger "container".
Therefore, high-level card masters all have firm beliefs.
This belief may be contrary to ethics and morality, and may not be accepted by most people, but it is what they are pursuing.
There are many names for this kind of thing: truth, Tao, nature... The card master calls it the 'fire idea', an idea he pursues throughout his life.
Jolina stood in the boudoir, raised her beautiful red eyes and looked up at the oil painting on the wall.
It was a world-famous painting created by the artist after a mental breakdown, "Starry Moon Night". There were seven planets in the painting, the lines swirled to form a huge vortex, and dark green-brown cypress trees jumped into the night sky like flames. There was a unique beauty in the madness.
The exaggerated and confusing scene actually made Jolina feel peaceful.
She lowered her head to examine the card with the same name in her hand. "Starry Moon Night" glowed with an epic purple light, which reminded her of the terrifying scarecrow, and her eyes gradually became sharper.
Let me see it...a spiritual attack that can transcend the source world and "time and space".
Dong Dong.
Jolina dismissed the card in her hand and said: "Please come in."
The maid walked in and bowed to introduce the guests behind her. Lin Xiao and the other three had just passed through the luxurious hall, their expressions slightly unnatural.
Damn rich people...
The manor is too luxurious and is completely different from the lower city.
"I have heard the arrangements of Team Leader Margaret." Jolina said politely, "The duel will begin soon. Please ask the three of you to provide care for me later. Sorry for the trouble."
Chu Yun nodded and looked at the little secretary. Sigrid introduced herself slightly nervously:
"I am Sigrid from the former medical team and now the special agent team. I will connect an additional device to your virtual cabin later to detect mental fluctuations... If the scarecrow really has the ability to hurt people from a distance, this
The beating value of the device is enough to be used as evidence for a door-to-door search.”
"Also." The little secretary said with rare pride, "I am very good at healing, and the same goes for those who are in the mental department!"
"No problem." Jolina showed the silver virtual cabin, "Please come over here..."
Sigrid was sitting on a carved chair with a rare laptop on her lap. The data cable was connected to the virtual cabin and she was quickly debugging parameters.
Brother Chu Yun went to the outdoor corridor to smoke, while Jolina crossed her arms and discussed with Sigrid.
Lin Xiao looked around. The interior furnishings were made of Victorian furniture, in the Rococo style, exquisite and bright, with intricate carvings. Even the birdstand was carved from yellow pear wood, and there stood a snoozing snow-white owl, which didn't even wake up when strangers came.
'Vivian.' Lin Xiao remembered the name of this owl. 'It is fatter than when I downloaded the dungeon, just like the recent Dafu.'
Dafu has been eating and drinking so much lately that his fat has soared and his belly has become more round.
But it doesn’t matter if the baby seal is a little fat, as long as it’s cute.
"Woohoo..." The owl closed its eyes, tilted its little head bit by bit, and suddenly woke up like a bubble bursting, looking around with wide yellow eyes.
Lin Xiao smiled.
Just like when I was sleeping in class, I dreamed that I fell off a cliff and suddenly woke up!
The snow owl opened its broad snow wings and patrolled as if threatening. Its eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao's face, and its pupils shrank: "Guhu..."
Lin Xiao was slightly startled.
No, you shouldn't be able to recognize me even with this?
Oh no.
The snowy owl flew up with fluttering wings, circled around Lin Xiao, and then stopped on his shoulder, happily, and narrowed its eyes:
"Guhu!ヾ(^?^)?"
I didn’t expect you to look quite pleasing to the eye in real life!
Lin Xiao tilted his head, with a strange look on his face, and lowered his voice:
"I warn you not to mess around..."
It was because of her identity in the original world that Qiao Linna was recruited by the investigation team.
I don’t want people to associate epee with me so quickly.
"Guhu..." The snow owl stood on Lin Xiao's shoulder, unmoved.
Jolina turned back and was slightly startled.
Vivian was very vigilant and would not take the initiative to stop on a stranger's shoulder.
However, it is now so close to Lin Xiao.
Jolina frowned slightly, staring at the black-haired young man in front of her with beautiful red eyes, feeling a little doubtful in her heart.
I remember him as an elite operator who destroyed A-level monsters and destroyed the Demon God Altar. He was conservatively estimated to have the strength of a master.
At his level, if he does a few more commissions, he can easily accumulate merit and be promoted to director or even group leader.
Have Vivian and him met before, or...
Qiao Linna looked at Lin Xiao and said with a nice voice:
"Sorry, my owl disturbed you Vivian, stop making trouble and come back!"
"Guhu..." Vivian was a little helpless.
It's a pity that I can't explain why to the owner, because I am just an owl.
The snowy owl flapped its wings, slapped Lin Xiao on the head before flying, and proudly flew back to Qiao Linna's raised arm.
Lin Xiao held her head and looked at the owl, her heart skipping a beat.
Why are you such an emergency ingredient? I'll make soup for you next time!
Jolina's red eyes shrank. The scene just now seemed familiar, reminding her of the scene where Vivian slapped the epee man's helmet.
With fifth-level strength, his ace is a big sword, and Vivian is very close to him, could it be...
She had doubts but her tone was cautious:
"I'm sorry, Vivian doesn't usually act like this. If you don't mind, I'll ask the maid to bring you afternoon tea..."
The wool of a wealthy family will not turn white until it is sheared. Lin Xiao nodded:
"If you can, please bring me some salmon, tuna or something like that. I plan to feed it to the spirits."
"No problem." Jolina looked at the maid guarding the door, who bowed and left.
Not long after, the maid brought over a small dining cart with a dazzling array of hot drinks and sweets, as well as the thick-cut salmon that Lin Xiao had named. The fine-textured fish was dotted with caviar.
Chu Yun and Sigrid also took part, one picked up the coffee indifferently, and the other tasted the strawberry cake with a happy face.
A little seal appeared in the forest, and Dafu looked at the dinner plate, his eyes shining:
"Oooooooo!(??)"
Come on, I want to eat fish!
Lin Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth.
Facing the fish, there is no resistance or vigilance...
Could it be that you are the god who eats fish blindly? (Wrong)
The maid looked at the snow-white seal enjoying its meal, covered her mouth and smiled: "I'll get you another one."
"Is that okay?" Lin Xiao said.
"Well, because Mr. Jones also ordered us to entertain the three of us well." The maid smiled.
"I won't bother you anymore."
Lin Xiao said: "Just bring a whole salmon over."
"Cough!" Chu Yun choked on his coffee.
There was a sudden turn of events, and I jumped onto my waist.
Qiao Linna stood in front of the desk, her hands resting on the edge of the table, her eyes falling on Lin Xiao who was petting the little seal.
‘Is he really a heavy swordsman? It’s too much of a coincidence.’
The possibility of two players in the source world meeting in reality is almost zero.
Just because of the similar color and strength of fire, plus Vivian's abnormal performance, it is too arbitrary to presume that someone is an epee person.
Jolina had imagined what a man wearing pitch black armor would look like under his helmet.
But she doesn't care about appearance. She favors the epee man's generosity in facing the cloaked mage, his bravery in facing the skeletal frost dragon, and his always-maintained humility...
Lin Xiao raised his gaze and met the distracted Qiao Linna.
They were a pair of beautiful, clear red eyes, cold and alert, reflecting the black-haired young man on the sofa.
Jolina seemed to have made up her mind and walked slowly towards this side and looked at the little seal: "Can I... touch it?"
Lin Xiao looked at Dafu and saw Dafu rolled over, revealing his snow-white belly:
"Ooo~"
Please give me to the fish-eating sister~
Lin Xiao: "Dafu, you!"
You have never been so generous to me!
Jolina showed a faint smile, squatted on the ground, stretched out her hand to stroke Dafu's snow-white fur, and whispered:
"I heard that seals can bring good luck to people...can you give me a helping hand?"
"Ooooo!"
Dafu nodded seriously, turned over, raised his head, and sniffed Jolina with his little nose.
Suck away your bad luck!
Qiao Linna smiled, stood up and said:
"The showdown time is coming soon, please get ready, you three."
"I'll do my best!"
Sigrid was full of energy and elbowed Lin Xiao again. Her red eyes looked at the dessert in front of her, her cheeks were slightly red, and she whispered:
"Lin, her strawberry cake is more delicious than the one in the logistics area. Can you ask the maid to pack some of it later..."
"Why me."
"You had a good chat with the maid...and..." the little secretary rolled up her chestnut hair, revealing her delicate snowy neck, and said shyly, "I'm embarrassed to speak..."
When people with social fears express their needs, they generally need a friend to speak on their behalf.
"We are here to work, not to make a living." Lin Xiao said righteously, "Please correct your position, Comrade Tang Xiaomei."
"Oh!" Dafu nodded hurriedly with a whole salmon in his mouth.
That’s right, I’m not here to make a living!
Sigrid: "Ugh..."
Lin Xiao: "But don't worry, I will get it for you."
Sigrid was startled for a moment, then smiled.
Lin Xiao looked at the sky.
By the way, I’ll ask Dafu for some more salmon... and mark it down on the little secretary’s head!
…
…
The Golden State is world-famous for its beaches, sunshine, palm trees, bikini beauties, open-top shuttles... A large number of tourists come here for vacation every year.
The S-class monster Theseus landed here many years ago, causing a huge flood that engulfed the surrounding cities. However, everyone has obviously forgotten this.
Along the coastline, there is a row of warehouses used to store vehicles and objects, and sometimes homeless people hide here.
There is a small graffiti 'scarecrow' on the house number, and behind the closed rolling shutter door is a card maker with a haggard appearance and sunken eye sockets.
Papers, drafts, a large number of calculation documents and newspapers are scattered around. There is a card making table, a virtual cabin, a folding bed and a blackboard.
There are card-making patterns on the blackboard. The card-maker is trying to outline the shape of a red dragon. There is a large newspaper clipping title in the upper right corner:
"Zhulong Network! Spark Group's cross-generation engine opens the border between virtuality and reality!"
"Virtuality and reality?" Scarecrow murmured, "No, it's spirit and reality..."
"This is not a game, this is another world. I will definitely be able to verify my guess, and it will be successful soon..."
The Scarecrow looked at the palm of his hand. The purple blood vessels around the fire were twisted and knotted. He was terminally ill, but he could still use his card master talent.
"Fear": Inflicts "fear" state on enemy units and weakens mental resistance.
"I..." The scarecrow's eyes were sunken and his voice was hoarse.
Before I die, I will definitely reveal the true face of Zhulong Network to the world.
For this, I need guinea pigs, those guinea pigs that are sacrifices to the truth.
As long as the truth is revealed, card makers around the world will definitely understand my philosophy... This is my desire for the truth as a card maker.
The man breathed hoarsely, lay down in the virtual cabin, and turned off the incandescent light.
…
…
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the top 32 of the Star Cup, Qing Kui VS Cage Scarecrow!"
The commentary was passionate and loud, and many spectators gathered on the sidelines.
"The map starts to jump. The local terrain card is, "Western Town"!!"
The sun sets over the vast Gobi Desert, vultures fly across the dusk sky, and amidst the wind and sand, two players are about to face off on the streets of a western town.
In the real world, Jolina closed her eyes tightly and lay in the virtual cabin.
Lin Xiao looked at the light curtain in his hand, and the barrage kept passing by.
"Cowgirl VS Scarecrow!"
"Is this pretty girl the one who broke the record with the epee man?"
“It feels so weird on the other side.”
Lin Xiao stared at the scarecrow on the screen. Two holes were poked out of his straw mask, his mouth was grinning to the base of his ears, and dark green fire was pouring out.
Then, a green dagger appeared in his palm made of withered yellow straw, which he clenched fiercely.
In front of the scarecrow, a cowgirl wears a pirate hat, has a delicate face, a straight back, holds a thin sword in her hand, and has piercing red eyes.
Chu Yun's voice was a little low: "Always pay attention to your mental fluctuations, Sigrid."
Sigrid looked at the notebook and said seriously: "I understand."
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand towards the wooden frame.
The snowy owl flew over obediently, stopped on his arm, and let Lin Xiao stroke its wings: "Guhu..."
Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at Dafu, who also looked up: "Oh!"
No problem, I have already given her my blessing!
Lin Xiao smiled: "I believe in you, lucky star."
In the virtual world, on the western streets, the narrator shouted:
