Card Master Guide

Oak District, Honeysuckle University.

The spring is bright and beautiful, the birds flutter their wings amid the fluttering bells, and the wild cats doze off under the campus benches.

Near noon, students in groups of threes or twos, either went to the cafeteria, or crossed the big lawn to leave school to buy some lunch, or simply condensed food cards from the kindling, and then turned into a hot bento.

Ordinary citizens often call this trick of "making food out of the palm" "witchcraft", but witchcraft is not so easy to use.

Throughout the ages, a large number of scholars have tried to conduct a thorough analysis of tinder, but have only come up with very few theories.

For example, fire is the carrier of source power, the external manifestation of opening up spiritual space, a symbol of spiritual power, and so on.

Scholars agree that the more spiritually powerful a human being, the higher the probability of lighting a fire.

And even a disabled person may ignite a fire. This kind of "fire" may be stored in the eyes, or in the heart and chest.

Generally speaking, very few people with disabilities can become card masters, but as long as the spirit is strong enough, "miracles" will appear.

The academic circles believe that the fire is most likely originated from La, the "lord of the sun and the underworld", because the sun corresponds to fire.

There is also another saying that the fire originates from Candle Yin, the "lord of spirit and matter".

It is rumored that this giant dragon holds a candle in its mouth, which symbolizes yin and yang, day and night, reality and reality, and can freely shuttle between the material world and the spiritual world.

The fire seed is just a kind of evidence that he bestows on the gods, making the gods the supreme existence in both 'spirit and matter'.

Later, a god stole the fire and passed it on to the world, so that humans can also use the authority of the gods.

At this point, the gods fell from the altar of the 'spirit', slept forever in the twilight of the gods, and disappeared in the world of 'material'.

Honeysuckle University attaches great importance to theology, so it pays special attention to tracing the origin of the "Dragon of Creation".

In the eyes of pragmatists, tinder is just a kind of existence similar to the storage space of a person.

Carol, a small and thin country girl with braids, came to the back of the secluded swordsmanship club with a lunch box and looked around. She doesn't like to eat in crowded places, so she often comes here.

The back of the sword club is like a back garden, with beautiful flowers and plants, bathed in the warm sun, reflecting dappled light and shadow. Facing the playground runway, the view is very wide, and sometimes wild stray cats will come here.

'Huh... I'm so tired every day, but I go to the cafeteria to eat by myself, and I feel a little embarrassed if others see me. '

Although the roommates are not bad, Carlo can clearly feel that he can't fit in with them. They are glamorous, well-made up, talk about fashion and jazz bars, and their biggest wish is not to fail the final exam.

It's been almost a year since she entered school, and Carlo's social circle has not yet opened up, so she met several members of the swordsmanship club, and the one that impressed her the most...

"Jolinna?" Carlo whispered.

On the bench in front of her, there was a slender figure with a high ponytail. She turned her head, revealing beautiful red pupils, holding a triangle bun in her hand.

"Hmm..." She recalled a bit, and managed to call the correct name, "Carlo."

Carlo was a little overjoyed, and walked over with a bento in his hand: "Why are you here?"

"I discovered it by accident today. The scenery here is very nice." Jolena lifted her eyes from the beautiful flowers and plants and landed on Carlo's face, "What about you?"

"I used to come here for lunch..." Carlo said.

"But it's far from the cafeteria."

"Well... so there will be fewer people." Carlo stood aside cautiously, and did not sit down until Jolena gave a signal, letting out a long sigh of relief.

She turned her head and carefully observed the delicate profile of the beauty beside her. Jolena's red pupils were focused, chewing bread with one hand, and flipping through textbooks with the other.

"I thought." Carlo said his thoughts, "Jorina, the type that a housekeeper would bring lunch to school..."

Qiao Linna raised her red pupils and thought for a while: "My father really wanted to do this, but I refused."

"Plus, money is tight these days." Jolina was not indifferent to Carlo's aura, as if chatting, "So I can only eat bread to get through this month."

"Struggling?" Carlo heard words that didn't seem to come from Jolena's mouth.

"Well, I've been spending impulsively these days." Jolena rubbed her brows lightly, "It's my punishment for myself."

Carlo blinked, which could make the calm Jolena impulsive. With her small brain, she really couldn't imagine what it was.

"If you don't mind." Carlo opened the lunch box, "Come and get some from me. I made them all myself. The taste should be okay."

Qiao Linna looked surprised, and took the fork from the trembling hands of the country girl, pondered slightly, poked a fried shrimp, and held it to her lips.

There is a crisp sound of 'click', and the tender and chewy shrimp meat spreads on the taste buds along with the gravy.

"It's delicious." Jolena raised a smile, "Your craftsmanship is very good, Carlo."

Carlo was slightly distracted. This was the first time she saw Jolena smiling, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she hurriedly said, "Don't you want to eat any more?"

"No, I'll just take a bite." Jolena read on. "You haven't had lunch yet."

"Can I sit here and eat?" Carlo stammered.

Qiao Linna looked surprised, and immediately nodded: "Of course."

Four stray cats sniffed the scent and approached here. They were orange cats and two short-haired blue cats. The bold civet cat stood up and bared its teeth and paws at Qiaolinna: "Meow!"

Carlo was suddenly nervous, worried that Jolena would ignite her power and manifest her sword.

However, Qiao Linna just stretched out her hands, hugged the raccoon cat, and put it on her lap: "I remember, your name is Alexander, which is the name of a king."

Jolena's red eyes looked at the rest of the cats: "Doris, Ingwid, Anthony...you look rounder."

The three kittens were a little shy, and just rubbed around Jolena's legs, as if they were very close to her.

"How do you know what they are called?" Carlo asked curiously.

"These stray cats are registered on the official website of Honeysuckle University, and have corresponding names." Qiaolinna stroked the back of the raccoon cat, and said, "They all have their own characteristics and are easy to identify. For example, Anthony is an orange cat. The expression is always bitter, Doris is the most beautiful and well-behaved, and Ingwig's voice is terrible..."

Carlo opened his mouth slightly, feeling admiration in his heart. He really didn't expect Jolena to have such a careful and gentle side.

The noon sun fell on Qiao Linna beside her. Her expression was still indifferent, but the vigilance in her red pupils was slightly relaxed. She stroked the civet cat in her arms, and her feet were surrounded by orange cats and short-haired blue cats.

The raccoon cat stretched out its paw pads and reached for Carlo's bento. Jolena threw it down: "Go."

The four kittens scattered, Jolena stood up, looked at Carlo and said, "Alexander is very shrewd, don't let your guard down to them, the cuter the appearance, the more deceiving—what are you laughing at?"

"I just think." Carlo covered his mouth with a smile, "Jorina is very cute."

Jolena was slightly taken aback. Others used this adjective to evaluate her. The last time she was at the Royal Women's Ecclesiastical College.

'For the sake of lunch, I won't pursue it with her. '

Jolena shook her head lightly, then turned around and said, "I still have class in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first."

"Well, Qiao Linna, I heard that the Starry Sky Cup in Yuan World is about to start, you, will you appear? I will cheer for you!"

The impact of the Star Cup is so strong that even a country girl like Carlo can be heard.

'Star Cup...'

Jolena raised her deep red pupils, looked up at the blue sky at noon, and sighed in her heart.

'That guy, I'm going to start brushing records again...'

Lin Xiao received a video call application.

Click on the wristband to project a light curtain, click to call, and a "snow white dumpling" is reflected on the screen.

"Ooo!" Dafu arched his black nose against the screen, happily showing Lin Xiao his newly learned functions.

Take a look, I'll call you!

There seemed to be an ellipsis popping out of Lin Xiao's head, and he turned his head to look at Dafu, who was lying on the bed less than one meter away from him.

"Ooo..." The little seal rested his chin on the tablet and blinked innocently.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao turned off the light curtain and viciously stretched out his claws towards the little seal.

"Oh!" the little seal exclaimed.

in a minute.

The little seal lay lazily on the bed, squinting his eyes comfortably: "Oh..."

Lin Xiao massaged the little seal, stroked its soft and white fur, and asked, "Guest, how do you feel?"

"Oh! (ω)" Dafu gave a five-star praise.

"Then let's start the next stage of the training plan?" Lin Xiao showed a friendly smile.

"Oh?! Σ(っ°Д°;) っ" Daifuku was alert.

It's not good, it doesn't feel good!

"Don't worry, your main task at this stage is to absorb the source power in the gem, which is relatively easy."

Lin Xiao took out the purple card "Spirit of Frost" obtained from the last challenge dungeon.

The appearance is a clear and beautiful ice sapphire, which contains the deterrence of ice dragons, and can be used to cultivate ice-type spirits.

By absorbing this "Spirit of Frost", Daifuku's level can be further improved, and there is a chance to master special abilities that are not recorded in the card data.

‘The little seal who has mastered ice dragon deterrence? '

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin.

‘Meeting a natural enemy of ice-type spirits like a polar bear, wouldn’t it be a leopard kill! '

"Oh~(●｀●)"

The little seal turned over, revealing its snow-white and soft belly, stretched out its flippers and picked off the gemstone in Lin Xiao's hand.

Well, for the sake of you giving me a massage, I will reluctantly accept the training!
