“DE ...
The magical alarm clock rang on time, but this ringing sound was actually unnecessary.
Because he went to bed early, Lin You woke up naturally early in the morning and had enough rest.
At this moment, I had already eaten breakfast and was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stretching.
Although it was early, the sky outside was bright enough and the sunlight was just the right warmth.
But in a few hours, it will probably get hot.
Although today has officially entered September and the end of summer has just passed, Jiangcheng is still as hot as a furnace at noon.
"It's time to go. It's a rare opportunity to leave the school, so I'm quite excited."
After stretching his muscles, he turned his head to look at the time on the clock on the wall, composed himself, and prepared to go out.
There is still some distance from the villa area to the Welcome Square. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there normally.
The agreed time is eight o'clock, and now it is half past seven.
"Coolie~"
Seeing that he was about to go out, the chestnut ball flew out, and the little guy looked very happy.
But...
Lin You stared at it carefully for a moment, then looked away, wondering if this little guy had gotten a little fatter recently.
It must be an illusion.
Can cards gain weight?
He just thought about it casually and didn't dwell on it. Soon, Lin You left the villa.
…
Welcome Square.
When Lin You arrived, Hua Peiling was already waiting there with a small shoulder bag hanging around her waist. This made him wonder if this girl had a habit of arriving early, just like last time.
There are actually still a little over ten minutes until the agreed time, so he is not late.
At this moment, the huge square was empty and silent, with no one in sight.
At this time, the students were either still in the dormitory, on their way to class, or had already entered the classroom in advance.
Some people who have free time, or not so much free time, come here.
"Let's go."
Hua Peiling simply waved her hand and strode ahead to lead the way.
Lin You was slightly stunned. Why did this girl seem a little different from usual?
As for her appearance, it hasn't changed. She is still Hua Peiling. She can't be a substitute.
But the whole person seemed to have relieved some pressure, and felt inexplicably relaxed. Even the tone of his voice was not as cold as usual.
Although he was confused, Lin You quickly came to his senses and quickly caught up.
It’s probably time to leave school. I’ve been stuck in school for so long, it’s rare for me to go out, so it’s normal to feel a little excited.
Lin You also had this feeling.
Soon, the two arrived at the school gate.
The guard in charge saw them and came over, asking, "Are you going on a mission?"
They both nodded.
"Wait."
The guard said something and walked into the guard room. When he came out, he had a sensor in his hand and said, "Take out the duel card. You can only pass if the green light is on."
Upon hearing this, without asking any questions, the two of them did as they were told and swiped their cards respectively.
Drop, drop!
On the sensor, a light button flashed twice, both times with green light.
"Okay, that's fine."
The guard nodded his chin towards the school gate, indicating that they could be let in.
"Thank you very much."
After expressing their gratitude, Lin You and Hua Peiling left the school together.
…
“Huh~”
Shortly after walking out of the school gate, Lin You couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face full of joy.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the fresh air outside the school!
Well, although the enrollment period is only half a month, it is not short.
After a moment of briskness, Lin You turned around and asked, "How do we get there? You should have figured out the route to that place in advance, right?"
"Do I look like that kind of idiot?"
Hua Peiling turned her head and glared at Lin You unhappily before adding, "I called a taxi and drove to the outskirts of the city where the cave is. It's only an hour's drive away at most."
"That's all right."
Lin You laughed dryly and became more suspicious.
This girl seems a little abnormal today. Why does the tone of her voice seem like a different person?
If he hadn't cared much about it before, now he really felt it was a bit strange.
Of course, no matter how this girl changes, it is different from the mission. As long as the mission can be completed successfully, it will be fine.
Standing on the street, waiting for a ride, Hua Peiling suddenly said, "Hey, why are you coming out empty-handed?"
"What's the meaning?"
Lin You looked at him in confusion, then looked at himself again. There was no problem, the duel disk was equipped.
Besides the duel disk, what else should I bring when I go out?
After thinking for a moment, Lin You asked tentatively, "Are you saying I should put a camera in my pocket?"
As a girl, it is normal to have some shooting habits.
But there’s actually no need to use a camera. Aren’t the built-in beauty functions on mobile phones getting better and better these days?
Whether you are taking selfies or landscape photos, there is nothing wrong with it.
“…”
Hua Peiling seemed speechless. She looked at Lin You without saying a word, just staring at him.
what?
Isn’t it just a selfie?
Actually, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Although it is somewhat inappropriate since we are on a mission, it would be fine to take more photos before the mission. Why are you looking at me like that?
After hesitating for a moment, Lin You suggested, "Why don't we go back and get it now? We haven't walked far, it will only take a while."
As a girl, it’s not wrong to love beauty. If it takes a little time, you should accommodate it if you can.
"I mean the magic recovery item!"
Hua Peiling gritted her teeth, feeling almost incapable of it, and was probably furious.
"Ahem, what are you talking about?"
Lin You felt a little embarrassed and thought about something else.
But it is true that magic recovery items are quite important when going on missions like this.
It is inconspicuous on ordinary days because it is forbidden to use such recovery items during a duel. If you want to restore magic power, you can only rely on the cards themselves.
But when you go out, there is no such restriction. Bringing more recovery items can greatly enhance your magic endurance.
"Forget it, what I have should be enough."
As Hua Peiling spoke, she fumbled in the small bag in front of her. Soon, she took out a small bottle and threw it to Lin You without saying a word.
The throw was sudden, but Lin You reacted easily and caught the small bottle steadily. He took a look at it and said in surprise: "Such a high-level one, magic green beans?"
There are three beans in the bottle, and at first glance, they look like ordinary green beans.
But if you look closely, you can see that the beans are engraved with exquisite magical patterns.
Different from common magic recovery potions, this thing is a high-end magic recovery product, and each one is worth a lot of money.
If I remember correctly, according to the price in the redemption mall, one of these things costs 100 duel points.
After eating these three small green beans, a Black Star Monster Card was gone.
Of course, it is expensive, but the effect is indeed excellent.
Compared to magic potions, it is not only easier to use, but also more effective. One pill can restore 300 magic points to the duelist within ten seconds.
"Pay attention to the frequency of use. If you can avoid taking it continuously in one day, try not to take it. You know the negative effects."
Hua Peiling gave an explanation, but it was obviously not for the purpose of saving money.
"learn."
Lin You nodded. This kind of magic recovery product is indeed not suitable for continuous use on the same day, at least for him.
Whether or not mana recovery items can be used continuously is not fixed, but depends on the total amount of mana of the duelist himself.
Once the total amount of mana is lower than the recovery amount, it is best to use the recovery item only once a day.
After using it twice, at the very least, there will be a certain degree of magic disorder in the body due to poor absorption, causing the magic to not function normally for a period of time.
To put it in a broader sense, excessive disorder of magic power could lead to explosion!
Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but smile and said, "Three, there's no need to give so many. I'm afraid you'll be full. Forget it, I'll take these green beans first. When you use them up, the original price will be deducted from your reward. Thank you very much."
"what ever."
Hua Peiling was not in the mood to talk about this, and at this moment, a car horn sounded.
Turning around, I saw a silver-white SUV parked there.
The car Hua Peiling called has arrived.
"Set off."
Hua Peiling waved her hand, rushed forward, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
Lin You followed closely behind and got on the car soon.
As soon as the two got in, the SUV started moving without the driver asking about the destination.
The engine roared, and the car quickly ran out of a long line on the block.
…
at the same time.
Jiangcheng Executive Bureau.
In a special department called 'Shadow'.
In a home-style office, a man with dyed blond hair and casual attire received a long-awaited phone call.
As soon as he answered the phone, he couldn't help cursing and yelling, "Old Fang, you finally answered the phone! Finding you is harder than finding a fugitive!"
"What's wrong with you, you idiot? You've finally settled down for a while, but now you can't stand the loneliness and want to go out and mess around? You'd better give up the idea as soon as possible. Look at what you did. In another year or two, the association may not let you go back. It's better to stop causing trouble for me and behave yourself."
Although the person on the other end of the phone was called "Old Man Fang", his voice did not sound old, and even had a hint of young people's cynicism.
"Old Fang, stop pretending to be indifferent. Let me tell you, this isn't about anything else. We've made a big discovery. Do you know that?"
Huang Junwei was so angry that he jumped up and down. This was because the "Old Man Fang" on the phone was not in front of him. If he was, he would probably point at his nose and give him a good scolding.
"Fool me? What great discovery can you make?"
The voice on the other end of the phone said this with some contempt.
"you……"
Huang Junwei choked a little, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Does the soul aura of elf-level potential count?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without saying anything else!
He took a deep breath, plopped down on the nearest sofa, and arrogantly put his feet on the coffee table in front of him.
He had just sat down when his cell phone started vibrating rapidly.
Apparently, someone called back anxiously.
In response, Huang Junwei didn't even look at the caller ID, and slowly poured himself a glass of Coke, Pepsi!
Drink it all in one gulp.
readily!
It feels so good. I told you, an old man, to be negligent. Now you’re anxious?
It doesn’t work!
I'll go if it's urgent!
Feeling relieved, he hesitated for a while before the phone rang again. This time, Huang Junwei answered the call reluctantly.
"You idiot, you can fart, but you can't say anything. Did you sense the aura of a soul with elf-level potential? In Jiangcheng?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with suppressed anger, but more of it was disbelief and a temporarily suppressed excitement.
"What else, Old Man Fang, is this so strange? Didn't you say I was causing you trouble? Why did you change your words now?"
Moving the phone away, Huang Junwei chuckled, trying not to laugh. Was there also a day when Old Man Fang would get anxious?
"Stop talking nonsense."
Old Man Fang shouted, then turned seriously and asked, "Stop making such meaningless jokes. You know what this means. Are you serious? Is the sensation absolutely true?"
He believed that Huang Junwei had this ability, but when it came to the three words "elf level", even he might not be able to perceive it clearly, and there was a possibility of error.
However, no matter how wrong it was, it was undeniable that it was still an extremely strong soul aura.
Huang Junwei also stopped laughing, pondered for a moment, and made a judgment: "Actually, I can't be sure. I only know that the quality of that aura is even higher than that of my Ghost-Faced Monk. Ordinary Venus monsters can't achieve this. Even if it's not Elf-level, it's at least at the Ace-level of Venus."
“But that means something different.”
"The meaning is different, but Master, do you know where I sensed this soul aura?"
"Where?"
"Jianghua High School!"
“…”
The moment Huang Junwei finished speaking, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, as if it was having difficulty digesting the answer.
After a long silence, a surprised voice was heard: "High school? Are you still asleep?"
He couldn't help but suspect that his silly apprentice was making fun of him and making up a story. Was he really frustrated?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
When making up a story, you have to make it as realistic as possible!
But that doesn't make sense. This idiot rarely speaks seriously. He even calls me "Master" and calls me anxiously. He also repeatedly sends messages using numbers. No matter how frivolous he is, he wouldn't act so recklessly, right?
Of course, if he really acted recklessly, he must be taught a lesson this time. What a shame!
He was just beginning to wonder when Huang Junwei spoke up again, "The point is, I suspect the owner of that aura is a student named Lin You. This student recently enrolled at Jiangcheng High School and is said to be the current Jiangcheng Rookie of the Year. The most unusual thing is that he's only been enrolled for half a month and he's already summoned a Super Black Star-level fusion monster!"
"Super Black Star?"
Old Man Fang paused again, but quickly recovered and exclaimed, "It's spiritual pressure! A medium-star spiritual pattern has been drawn on the fusion material or fusion card. Only ordinary Glory-level duelists can use cards that exert this kind of spiritual pressure. That kid named Lin You must have completed the spiritual awakening and possesses a soul talent that is even more monstrous than a monster!"
"That's what I thought, but Master, there's one thing I still can't understand."
Finally having the chance to find someone to explain his doubts, Huang Junwei quickly confided, "Soul talent is one thing, but I sensed that powerful soul aura at Jianghua High School. I suspected Lin You back then, and I sensed it on the spot, but his Origin Card, while powerful, was nowhere near this strength. And I couldn't see any trace of spiritual power on that kid."
"This means that his spiritual awakening must have been completed at Jiangcheng High School. I also know that there is a spiritual master hidden in Jiangcheng High School with extraordinary abilities. If nothing unexpected happens, this kid should have already become his disciple. What a pity, I had quite a few thoughts about him."
“These are not the main points!”
Old Man Fang interrupted, "The key lies in whether that aura has truly reached the Elf level. Originally, I thought you were joking when you said that. But you just said that you sensed that aura when little Lin You was still in high school. So the possibility that it's truly Elf-level has doubled!"
At this point, his voice was clearly filled with excitement.
Huang Junwei was still puzzled, "Master, are you sure?"
Until now, he still couldn't really match the two. The owner of that breath might not be Lin You, it was just a possibility. But his master just equated them directly?
How did you determine that?
"You don't have to worry about that."
Old Man Fang changed the subject and said hurriedly, "Your main task now is to observe carefully the latest movements of that little Lin You kid and report to the master in a timely manner if there is any progress."
"Don't you want to get in touch with him more? That kid might not really become your disciple. Why don't you try harder?"
Huang Junwei was still a little reluctant, but even if he tried to fight for it, the gift of becoming a disciple would still be a problem.
But he is poor!
He was not allowed to go to the secret realm, which directly cut off his source of income!
As for making money with your craft?
What a hassle!
There is no fun in traveling to a secret place!
It's so tiring and boring!
Low-end work is convenient, but does the word "low-end" match my level?
Besides, this craft itself is expensive.
Of course, it would be nice if the master could give a big thumbs up.
But it would be fine if the master was someone else, but just this old man Fang?
Forget it!
When I think of this, some past events come to mind and I can’t bear to look back!
"Don't worry about it now, and don't have any contact with him. Just observe secretly. Once the seeds sprout a little, we can see more clearly whether the flower we expect will bloom. We can't tell too much based on what we have right now."
At this point, Old Man Fang thought for a moment and added, "By the way, isn't the 'Freshman Exchange Competition' going to be held in Jiangcheng next March? You could go in and help out then."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, I'm miserable now. I can only live in this small place, eating some snacks and drinking some boring carbonated drinks."
Huang Junwei sighed lightly and shrugged helplessly.
"Don't give me that."
Old Man Fang saw through it at a glance, "Don't play the victim here, this trick won't work, just stay here and don't make any more big mistakes, so that I, your master, can spend my old age in peace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a busy tone came and the other party simply hung up the phone.
"Tsk, why are you pretending?"
Huang Junwei is unhappy again, in his old age?
How old are you? It’s already your old age!
With the strength of your soul, you can live as long as a turtle. Don’t you have any idea?
never mind.
Things have been explained clearly, Lao Fang has spoken, let's take it one step at a time.
So depressed!
Tearing open a bag of potato chips, Huang Junwei started to "fight" with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
