Yu Hanjiang slept until dawn and felt refreshed when he woke up in the morning. He went to the bathroom to wash his face and happened to meet Xiao Lou coming out of the next room.
Xiao Lou, who had just woken up, was bleary-eyed, rubbing his eyes while walking, looking dazed, and his hair was a little messy. Compared with the usually personable and gentle Professor Xiao, Xiao Lou had a more lifelike atmosphere, which made Yu Hanjiang
I feel extremely friendly.
He couldn't help but slightly curve his lips and said hello, "I'm awake."
Hearing the man's deep voice, Xiao Lou was stunned for a moment, and finally woke up completely. He smiled slightly at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Captain Yu, you got up so early."
Facing such a smile early in the morning, Yu Hanjiang's mood instantly became happy, his heart was as soft as if it were wrapped in a ball of feathers, and his eyes couldn't help but become gentle. He wiped his hands and walked to Xiao Lou.
Ask in a low voice with concern, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Xiao Lou nodded, "Maybe I was too tired after seven days at sea. I slept very deeply last night and slept until dawn."
Seeing that his cheeks were rosy and he was full of energy, Yu Hanjiang felt relieved and said, "If you continue to pass through levels, everyone's energy will not be able to keep up. This time, we just take the opportunity to rest for a few days and prepare for the future."
Xiao Lou said, "I think so too."
Ye Qi, who was next door, suddenly opened the door and saw two people talking at the bathroom door. He hurriedly said, "Professor Xiao, do you want to use the bathroom? I'm going to the fourth floor. I'm in a hurry."
Before Xiao Lou could answer, he ran away as fast as if he had used a teleport card.
Xiao Lou glanced at Xiao Ye's back helplessly, quickly washed his face and came downstairs.
At half past eight, all the teammates who lived on the third floor also got up. Everyone cleaned up and met downstairs. Yu Hanjiang said, "Get ready to have breakfast. I checked online and there is a breakfast shop nearby."
Ye Qi glanced around, "There seems to be one person missing."
Everyone looked at each other and soon realized that Shao Qingge had not come down yet.
Xiao Lou walked to the second floor and knocked on the door, "Mr. Shao, are you still awake?"
There was no sound in the room, so Xiao Lou had no choice but to open the door and go in. He saw Shao Qingge lying lazily on the bed like a cat, spreading his limbs and sleeping soundly. Xiao Lou couldn't bear to wake him up, but he had been sleeping all day.
Everything is fully arranged. Without Mr. Shao, the financial controller, everyone's plans to buy cars and clothes would not be implemented smoothly.
Xiao Lou had no choice but to step forward and call him, "Mr. Shao, get up."
Shao Qingge snorted twice, turned over, and continued to sleep on his stomach.
Xiao Lou was helpless, "Mr. Shao, get up and go have breakfast."
Shao Qingge turned over again and continued to sleep. Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Your gentle calls will never wake up a guy lying in bed. Why don't I go get a glass of ice water and pour it into his quilt?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingge sat up from the bed as fast as a carp.
Xiao Lou couldn't laugh or cry, "Mr. Shao actually woke up a long time ago, he just stayed in bed and didn't want to think about it, right?"
Shao Qingge squinted his eyes, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, "You don't have to go through the border today, why don't you just stay in bed?"
Normally, Shao Qingge's facial features would look very handsome due to his braided hair, which exposed the outline of his entire face. But at this time, his hair was all messed up while sleeping, and his messy hair gave him a lazy vibe.
, like a cat spreading its belly and basking in the sun.
Xiao Lou resisted the urge to rub his messy hair and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll let you sleep in tomorrow. There are too many things to do today, so just be aggrieved, wash your face quickly and go eat with us."
Shao Qingge yawned, turned around to wash his face, and went downstairs to go out with everyone.
The weather is very good today. The bright sunshine shines on the tree-lined avenues. The entire community is like a huge garden. The air is full of the fragrance of flowers. Everyone walks through the woods and marvels at the beauty of the environment here.
In the high-end villa area, there were not many pedestrians on the road early in the morning. Xiao Lou took everyone all the way to the gate of the community, found a breakfast shop and had a simple meal, and then followed Lao Mo to the suburbs to buy a car.
There are many 4S stores here, and the brands are all unknown to Xiao Lou. He has never taken a driver's license in the real world and doesn't know much about cars. He looked at Lao Mo blankly, "Which brand should we buy?"
Lao Mo scratched his head and said, "I don't understand the car brands in this world. Anyway, it is just for transportation. The performance of the car should be similar. If the price is right, just buy it."
Shao Qingge glanced at the spacious car showroom and suggested, "Buy a small tourist bus and let Lao Mo drive it when the team moves together. In addition, you can also buy a car and drive the car when the team moves together."
It will be more flexible.”
Xiao Lou looked back at him, "Two cars, do we have enough money?"
Shao Qingge smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you run out of money. Don't forget we still have an opal bracelet. We'll also make inquiries in the past few days to see where there are jewelry auctions. We can make a lot of money by selling the opal bracelet."
One stroke."
Hearing this, Xiao Lou was completely relieved. Anyway, Shao always had many ways to make money, and he would make more after spending all his money.
He bargained with the boss and bought a small tourist bus that could seat 16 people. Then, they went to the store next door and bought a 5-seater car.
The 4S stores in this world have a lot of vehicles in reserve. After paying, you can go through the formalities directly on site. It only took two hours for everyone to successfully pick up the car. There is a parking space downstairs in the villa. With these two vehicles, it will be easier to travel in the future.
It will be very convenient.
Lao Mo drove the white bus, Mr. Shao drove the black car, and they all headed to the largest shopping mall in Moon City.
They parked the car in the underground garage, went to the mall and each bought several sets of summer clothes, and also went to the off-season discount area to buy a few sets of winter clothes. They put all the large and small bags in the trunk, and then drove back.
Home.
After arriving home, everyone went to their rooms to tidy up their wardrobes, while Xiao Lou took out his cell phone and dialed Xue Mingyue's number.
At that time, Mr. Guiyuan Zhang invited them to join the Yuanfang Association. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang did not agree immediately. Instead, they politely said that they "need to consider" and left Xue Mingyue's contact information.
After the call was connected and hearing Xiao Lou's voice, Xue Mingyue smiled and said, "Professor Xiao, have you thought about it clearly? Our president has been waiting for your answers."
Xiao Lou said, "I want to make an appointment with Mr. Gui. I don't know when he will be free today."
Xue Mingyue said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask him."
A moment later, Xue Mingyue's voice came through the receiver, "Mr. Gui said that he has time at noon today, and he is waiting for you all at the villa." She paused, and then asked, "Where are you, do you need me to pick you up?"
"
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "No, thank you, we'll drive here ourselves."
The original plan was to go to the trading market in the afternoon and meet Mr. Gui Lao in the evening. But Gui Lao happened to have time at noon, so Xiao Lou adjusted the arrangement and went to the Yuanfang Association to meet Mr. Gui Lao first.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Lao Mo drove everyone to the headquarters of the Yuanfang Association in a bus
This is a single-family villa located in the mountains and forests. To get here, you need to pass through a long mountain road. The road is heavily guarded. If Xue Mingyue hadn't given the location, it would be difficult for outsiders to find it.
It is said that the president of the Faraway Association bought the land and built this house on his own. It is very hidden.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou had been here once before and quickly found Gui Lao's villa.
The villa in the mountains and forests is particularly quiet. The midday sun is blocked by the trees, and the light leaking through the gaps looks extremely soft.
The last time I came here, it was late at night and I didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenery. When I took a closer look, Xiao Lou found that there was a large area of bamboo planted behind the villa. The bamboo forest as far as the eye could see was lush and green, surrounded by streams.
I mistakenly thought that I had arrived at the secluded place where masters from outside the world in martial arts novels lived.
Xue Mingyue had been waiting for them at the door for a long time. When she saw Xiao Lou, she greeted them with a smile and took everyone into the house.
The gray-haired Mr. Gui was making tea, and the fragrance of tea spread in the room. After hearing the footsteps, he slowly raised his head with gentle eyes, "The guests are here. Please sit down and have a cup of tea first. We will meet you later."
Have lunch.”
Seeing Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sitting next to the old gentleman, the others looked at each other and quickly found a seat to sit down.
It was the first time they met the president of the legendary Far Far Away Association. They couldn't believe that Mr. Gui was already 60 years old. How did he survive in the cruel card world to this day?
Although Gui Yuanzhang is old, he does not look hunched over or senile. Sitting there, he is as straight and upright as the bamboo planted behind the villa. The skin on his hands has lost moisture, and the wrinkles are very obvious.
But when he picked up the teapot, his fingers were very steady, and there was no trace of trembling.
He handed the tea cups to everyone one by one, and while pouring tea, he said, "This is this year's new tea, bamboo leaf green. People in this world don't like drinking tea very much. I spent a lot of effort to get people to buy it."
Compared to other teammates, Xiao Lou knows Mr. Gui better.
In reality, Gui Yuanzhang is a famous calligraphy master and one of the vice-presidents of the National Calligraphy and Painting Association. He is good at handwriting and can copy the handwriting of many ancient celebrities. Xiao Lou's father is particularly good at calligraphy, and he has a close relationship with Mr. Gui.
We have some friendships, and we also have a collection of words saying "return to old age".
It is said that the old gentleman was proficient in tea ceremony, and his students only gave him tea every time he celebrated his birthday.
The rumors were indeed true. Mr. Gui was very particular about how he made tea. Xiao Lou took the tea cup politely and took a sip. The fragrance in his mouth was refreshing. He rarely drank tea, but the tea made by Mr. Gui
Very special indeed.
Gui Yuanzhang poured tea for everyone, and then asked, "It's your first time Zhou Chang, is it going well?"
Xiao Lou said, “Overall, it went smoothly.”
Gui Yuanzhang looked at Yu Hanjiang, "I heard that you chopped up 56 sharks."
Everyone was surprised that he actually knew about this, but soon, Xiao Lou understood and said, "The Intelligence Bureau told you."
Gui Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Yes. The newcomers are really brave. I really didn't misjudge you."
Yu Hanjiang asked directly in a low voice, "Senior, what do you have to tell us?"
Since their brother asked them to come to Gui Lao, Gui Lao must have something to explain. Sure enough, Gui Yuan Zhang did not mince words and simply said, "You need to clear the B-level secret room and the A-level secret room as soon as possible. I have prepared some cards here."
, hope it can help you."
He glanced at Xue Mingyue, and the long-haired beauty immediately turned around to get a card holder.
She handed the card pack to Yu Hanjiang and said with a smile, "They are prepared by our guild. They are all material cards."
Guiyuan Zhang nodded, "The low-level Chamber of Hearts is not life-threatening. You can pass the level as long as you solve the puzzles on time. There will be no hunters in the low-level diamonds. You can find the way out of the maze and crack the mechanism to get out. The plum blossoms are all lottery draws."
The most dangerous thing is spades."
It was normal for Lao Mo to encounter a hunter on the diamond. However, in the fixed secret room below the j of diamonds, there would indeed be no hunters.
Xiao Lou asked, "Senior, can I ask where the elite team from the Faraway Association has reached?"
Gui Yuanzhang said, "The strongest elite teams from the Yuanfang Association, Luoying Pavilion and the Intelligence Bureau have all reached the S-level secret room. There are no more than 50 people in this group, but everyone stopped and did not dare to continue walking.
Because the difficulty of the S-level secret room will be one level higher than that of the A-level, I have told you before that there was once a very powerful team that was destroyed in the S-level secret room."
Lu Jiuchuan had obviously already greeted Gui Lao and deliberately concealed information about that team.
In fact, the team led by Lu Jiuchuan was not wiped out, and Gui Lao was one of the surviving members.
Xiao Lou didn't expose him, so he picked up the card package and took a look.
The card pack given to me by Gui Lao is really rich.
The b-card toiletry bag is given directly to 8 pieces. After opening it, you can get towels, toothbrushes, cups, shampoo, and shower gel.
The b-card laundry detergent dryer is the same as the card that the girl Zhou Changzhong lent them before. It can wash clothes instantly.
B-card double tent is a waterproof tent that can be used in the wild. It can sleep up to 2 people. It brings its own pillows and quilts. 4 of them were given.
B card travel backpack, a backpack that can hold a large amount of supplies, was also given 4 copies.
In addition, there are some cards for daily necessities such as needlework, iron pots, bowls and chopsticks.
Everyone was simply shocked. Mr. Gui was like the NC giving out rewards and gave them so many daily necessities at once.
Xiao Lou originally planned to go to the card market to buy some supply cards, but he didn't expect that Mr. Gui had already made preparations.
He looked at Gui Lao and said gratefully, "Thank you, senior. These cards are very useful."
Gui Yuanzhang smiled and said, "You're welcome. Most of these material cards come from weekly rewards and draws from the Plum Blossom Secret Room. They will be more useful in the Spades Survival Chamber. But in the later stage, except for Spades, Hearts, and Plum Blossoms,
The diamonds will also become more and more difficult, and it is useless to have materials stuck in these two secret rooms. If you want to increase your strength, you need to get more control and combat cards."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang both knew very well that the beginning of the S-class secret room was no longer about playing cards and drawing prizes, but about directly fighting with the hunters. If you want to survive when the number of people is 10 times different, you can't use iron pots, bowls and chopsticks.
Go hit people
These pots, pans, and shampoo just make them feel better in the Spades Chamber.
The key to survival depends on combat cards. For example, the Night Demon Saber, Bloodthirsty Golden Shark, Silver Moon, and Starlight that Yu Hanjiang has drawn so far are all very powerful, but it is not enough for the team to only have one output from Yu Hanjiang.
At this moment, Gui Yuanzhang suddenly took out a pen. He smiled and said, "Are you wondering how an old man like me can survive in the card world until now?"
Facing everyone's curious eyes, he stood up and waved the brush in his hand.
The airflow in front of him suddenly began to fluctuate violently, as if a strong wind was blowing by. Everyone's teacups were blown into the air by the airflow. Then, his strokes slowed down and he drew a beautiful arc.
The teacups quickly lined up in a circle as if they were spiritual. Finally, with the tip of his pen pointing down, he gently pressed all the teacups back to their original positions.
During the whole process, not a drop of water in the teacup leaked out.
Ye Qi, Liu Qiao and others' jaws almost dropped. Xiao Lou's face was full of shock, as if he had watched a martial arts blockbuster live, and the gray-haired Mr. Gui was just like in the martial arts movie, holding a brush and writing while
An outsider who kills invisible people.
Mr. Gui took back his brush and said calmly, "I can only survive because of the brush in my hand."
Everyone was filled with admiration.
The old gentleman actually has such a powerful card. He can use pen gestures to make the target float in the air and control the trajectory of the target moving in the air.
In comparison, Xiao Lou's compass to control the ring in the air is simply child's play.
Mr. Gui Lao's eyes slowly swept across the crowd and said, "In the card world, the real essence lies in cards. As long as you have a good hand of cards and use them flexibly, no matter you are old, weak, sick, or disabled, you will have everything you need."
Terrifying combat power.”
He paused, lowered his voice, and said earnestly, "This is what I want to tell you when I call you here today. Never underestimate your own power. This is a magical world. Believe in yourself and you can create miracles."
