Card Master Guide

The Star Cup is an annual grand event in the source world, and the level of card masters participating in it is uneven.

The reason why Lin Xiao regards it as a baby cup and puts up 12 points of vigilance is precisely because:

We must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically!

Of course, proper relaxation after A-level entrustment is indispensable.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Xiao and Dafu went fishing by the river. Fortunately, there was no air force, so they caught a few rainbow trout and fed them to the baby seals.

"Oh~" Dafu squinted his eyes and patted his snow-white belly with his flippers.

Boss, bring some more fish~

"You go down to the river to catch it yourself." Lin Xiao sat on the ponytail, "Then throw it into my fish bucket...this is also part of the training."

"Ooo!" Dafu's black eyes were shining brightly, and his plump snow-white body crawled into the river, instantly becoming brisk.

Harp seals are natural fishers, with very sensitive hearing and vision, and can go to deep water to forage. Their whiskers can sense low-frequency vibrations to detect prey and natural enemies.

Lin Xiao saw the waves on the river surface, and a fast-swimming baby seal was lurking underneath, approaching big and fat rainbow trout.

With a sip, Dafu picked up the rainbow trout, broke through the water with a 'crash', raised his head happily, and waved it at Lin Xiao:

"Ooo!" (Look, look, look!)

Lin Xiao rested his chin on both hands, and with a fishing rod beside him, he smiled and said, "I saw it, it's very suitable for cooking..."

Before the words were finished, Dafu had already swallowed the rainbow trout in one gulp.

It didn't even react by itself, it was stunned for a moment, and then shyly smiled at Lin Xiao:

"Ouoo...ヾ(●｀●)"

I'll catch you again...

With the help of Dafu, an expert fisherman, Lin Xiao returned with a full load of fish buckets.

Mrs. Smith was very surprised, and when she learned that Dafu was helping, she squatted down and rubbed Dafu's snow-white head, and said with a kind smile:

"You are really a lucky star, Daifuku."

"Ooo!" Dafu narrowed his eyes, and together with Lin Xiao, enjoyed a sumptuous fish lunch at the landlord.

Back in the attic on the second floor, the little seal lay on the bed and played with the tablet, rubbing its flippers back and forth on the screen.

Lin Xiao picked up the "Golden Card Making Pen" that he had traded with Brother Chu Yun, and used blank cards and second-order materials to practice card making patterns.

‘If you don’t understand, please consult Liu Shisanniang. After all, she is a professor of card making at the United University, so there is no problem paying for consultation. '

Lin Xiaoxin said: "When my card making level breaks through to the third level, I will try to use "Deep Dive Spear" and "Blood Onyx" to evolve the ice spear technique by optimizing the texture! '

Card making is extensive and profound, and it is divided into four major fields: reinforcement, synthesis, decomposition, and texture, and texture includes repair, optimization and other subdivisions.

"Card Master's Guide" has the world's top strengthening, synthesis, and decomposition functions.

But for the pattern, Lin Xiao still decided to practice more by himself.

Three days passed quietly.

During the period, Lin Xiao, Sigrid, and Chu Yun had a dinner at a ramen shop, and Chu Yun paid the bill of course.

"Your promotion result has come out, congratulations on becoming an elite operator."

Chu Yun announced, and whispered to himself: "Although the senior operators in the team can't beat you..."

"It took three days to be promoted from a junior operator to an elite operator, setting a record for the fastest promotion!" Sigrid praised.

This position alone is not enough, Lin Xiao did not show it, and thanked: "Thank you, Tang Xiaomei."

The little secretary with chestnut hair and red eyes, with flushed and fair cheeks, said angrily, "Why, even you are called this nickname."

Ignoring "Tang Xiaomei", Lin Xiao looked at the man in a suit sucking ramen noodles:

"Captain, I plan to take a week off from work."

"Hmm... I just finished the A-level commission, and I do have the qualifications to apply for a long vacation. Besides, the investigation of [Demon God Resurrection] will not progress so quickly."

Chu Yun pondered: "However, I can ask more, what are you going to do?"

"The equipment in the training room of the Card Masters Association has been updated, you don't think..." Sigrid looked over hesitantly.

Lin Xiao coughed dryly: "I plan to stay at home and play the source world for a week, there is a big event recently."

"The Star Cup..."

Chu Yun heard about it and said hesitantly: "I heard that sixth-tier grandmasters may participate. You should be mentally prepared."

I just broke through to the sixth level yesterday, do you think it was a coincidence?

Lin Xiao nodded silently, then looked at Sigrit again with burning eyes:

"What you said about updating equipment in the training room—is it true? Members of the investigation team go to training, is it free?"

Chu Yun \u0026 Sigrid: "..."

In the end, you still want to demolish the Card Masters Association!

Wednesday, June 1.

In this children's festival, the annual grand event of the source world, the audition of the Star Cup will kick off at 7 o'clock tonight.

Qiao Linna ended today's training ahead of schedule, left the fencing club, and returned to the sea view villa on Second Avenue.

"Helen." Jolena returned to the boudoir, holding the puppet cat in her arms, her red pupils shimmering, and said softly, "Tonight, wish me good luck."

"Meow~" The puppet cat opened its sapphire-like eyes and gently snuggled up to Jolena's arm.

"Goohoo!" The snowy owl dozing on the support suddenly woke up, turned into light particles and flew back to Jolena's kindling.

"Okay." Jolena lay down in the virtual cabin and adjusted her seat, "Ready to go."

Consciousness sneaked into the Candle Dragon Network, passed through the white light, and when she came back to her senses, Qiao Linna was standing in the cloud square with colorful lights and a strong festive atmosphere.

The billboards flickered with neon lights, and the promotional posters of the Star Cup were lit up one after another, attracting players with different images to stop and browse.

"National Warriors!"

Suddenly, a player screamed, and the next poster was cut out from the billboard, which was obviously this year's important guest.

Free Federation, Warriors of War, Roman Ulysses!

"I've seen the movies he starred in, and he's also a top student at Red Lion University."

"How can a person be so perfect, it's too unfair!"

In the full-length poster stood a tall, tall, silver-haired, friendly elder brother next door, holding a silver saber.

However, it was this saber that gave people an endless sense of crisis, and even his smile became oppressive.

Jolena's red eyes were stern, standing in front of the huge life-size poster, looking up at the national warrior Wushuang of the Free Federation.

The right hand is quietly clenched.

That silver saber is a rare golden legend in the world, a deadly weapon recorded in ancient mythology.

Legendary equipment, the sword of the hanging top, the sword of Damocles.

Legend has it that a king is wise and mighty, and loves his people like a son.

The empire under his rule is powerful and prosperous, but it also breeds the king's arrogance and arrogance.

He disrespected the gods and nothing happened, until one day he returned to his throne drunk after drinking his fill.

Looking up, there was a gleaming sword blade hanging above his head. He woke up suddenly, terrified, and knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Therefore, the sword of Damocles symbolizes restriction, divine punishment, and endless danger.

Jolena doesn't know where Roman got this 'golden legend', but there is only one thing she can be sure of...

'I must defeat this national warrior Wushuang. '

She calmly looked away, and while walking towards the cloud tower, she glanced at the friend list, slightly taken aback.

The epee man was actually online too.

Moreover, his position, like his own, is a low-level channel.

Qiao Linna walked into the [Cloud Hall], looked around, and found a man wearing a heavy black armor near the teleportation aperture.

He crossed his arms, thinking about something silently, with a strong aura that made other players afraid to approach.

The epee man casually raised his eyes and paused.

Afterwards, the man raised his gauntlet and called out with a familiar face:

"No. 1, here."

Jolena stepped forward slowly and said:

"The [Starry Sky Cup] will open in half an hour. What are you doing here?"

Lin Xiao looked at the richest woman on the list through the mask, and found that it was not much different from reality.

The voice under the epee man's helmet was dull, "I just heard that 'Cloak Mage' hasn't been online for a long time, so I came here to have a look."

"The Cloak Mage..." Jolena frowned slightly.

The wife who distributes free bread around here on time, has not been online for a long time, which really makes people worry.

The epee man looked at the chattering players and crossed his arms:

"I realized one thing... In fact, people may not be as indifferent as I imagined."

Jolena raised her head and looked at the man puzzled.

"In the past few days when the cloak mage was away, players came here every day to step on the site. Even though their hearts were full of impatience at the time, deep down in their hearts, everyone still had sympathy for women..."

The epee man said: "This sympathy is sometimes considered unworthy, ridiculous, and hurts itself, so people don't choose to show it. But it still exists."

"I think this stems from..." the epee man crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "Empathy is a virtue of human beings, it builds the connection between people, and makes people understand others' sorrows, pain, share their joy, their happiness."

Jolena listened quietly, and said, "You mean, women have shared too much pain, causing players to put away their sympathy, but in fact, sympathy has not disappeared, it still exists?"

"At least I think so." Lin Xiao looked around at the players gathered around, "They will still remember the 'cloak mage', remember her suffering, remember that she distributed bread here, and feel sympathy and gratitude."

"Would you be too naive and think too kindly of others?" Jolena asked.

"I just always feel that conscience exists in everyone's heart." Lin Xiao said.

"everyone?"

"Whether rich or poor, environment, family, origin, everyone."

Qiao Linna stared at the man in the black armor, recalled his dark fire like the night, and smiled slightly:

"You are the most special card master I have ever seen."

"The cloak mage!" the epee man said suddenly.

"Um?"

"Behind you."

Qiao Linna turned around and saw a flash of light on the upper line, and a mage in a cloak was walking towards this side.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the surrounding players converged, and several players greeted with a smile:

"Auntie, a piece of bread!"

"Damn, I thought you were being guarded by someone PK, and I was going to take the brothers to find you."

"Sorry...I was researching a new recipe a few days ago." The cloak mage explained, "I will charge for the bread in the future, but I promise it will taste even better!"

"Huh?" The players were puzzled.

There was a hint of pride in the cloak mage's laughter: "I have studied it seriously, and now I can make blue-level bread that is as delicious as my husband's."

The players were amazed. The blue-level bread card is indeed eligible for sale, and it tastes very delicious!

"Auntie, let me see that blue card!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze the ones behind!"

The cloaked mage looked around and saw a familiar figure, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards the epee man and Jolina.

Due to the aura of the epee man, the players did not dare to step forward and just watched from a distance.

"Mr. 'Epee Man', we meet again." The cloak mage said in a respectful tone.

The epee man nodded and said, "You have been offline for so long, did any accident happen?"

The cloak mage shook his head: "It's the one hundred star coins you gave me, which made me a little scared... I think the emotion I put into the bread is far from worthy of the one hundred star coins."

"But my husband is different. He always has a smile on his face when he makes bread, and his whole body is glowing. So, I went to the store to search for the sundries... I couldn't bear to go in before... I found it in the diary book cover A blue cookbook."

She showed Lin Xiao the recipe.

"Happiness Bread·Blue Recipe: Flowing honey, soft taste, eating bread that will make people feel happy, after eating, restore 25% of the source power value. (Sweet food will bring people happiness.)"

Lin Xiao was in a trance, recovering 25% of the original force value, this effect...for him, it is very powerful!

The cloak mage continued to ramble: "I think, what I want to inherit is not only his actions, but also his wish... The reason why he distributed the bread is to let more people taste happiness... So I learned this recipe seriously."

"I will reopen his bakery with my child." Her gaze was firm. "I will also stay here with Happy Bread."

The epee man and Qiao Linna looked at each other, and they both looked at the cloaked mage, nodded in unison, and said in unison: "Come on."

The two looked at each other again, then looked away, and saw the cloaked mage handing over the blue recipe with a smile:

"Mr. Epee, please accept this recipe."

"Give it to me? No, it's too precious..."

"Please accept it as a thank you for my generous gift that day."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath.

This is not an ordinary recipe, as long as he learns it, he can master the method of making the blue food card "Happy Bread".

And a food card can restore 25% of the source power... For him, it is no less than an artifact!

"Then, I accept it." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "I promise you, I will study hard."

The cloaked mage smiled and bowed again.

She turned and left, her steps became firm, her shoulders seemed to be carrying her child and her husband, as well as the blessings of many people.

Lin Xiao looked at the "Happy Bread·Blue Recipe" in his hand, slightly lost in thought.

On the way to participate in the audition, this is a completely unexpected harvest...

Jolena folded her arms with one hand, looked sideways at the man in armor who was thinking, her red pupils moved slightly.

Suddenly awakened, Jolena let out a soft cry, grabbed the epee man's left wrist armor, and ran towards the teleportation circle:

"Hurry up, the [Star Cup] audition is about to begin!"
