Chapter 251 Extra 3 (5)

In an instant, the group of ghost apes suffered heavy injuries, and the fearless ghost apes fled in a hurry. The group of ghost apes that had just chased the explorer team heard the frightened screams of their peers. The apes with high IQ turned around and ran away.

　The explorer team watched blankly as the original pursuers turned into escapees. They were already scared away before they even met the big man in red.

　But that's right, after the face-to-face meeting, I probably won't even have a chance to run away.

　After the man in red killed the group of ghost apes, he did not leave directly. He seemed to have discovered this miserable human team and jumped down from the tall tree.

　"Sir, we are the Explorer Sirius Team. I am the captain Duan Tianlang, a four-star melee card master. Thank you for your help. I wonder what I can do for you?"

　The tall, strong man in the lead was the first to greet him, with a respectful expression. Before Wen Shu could speak, he had already introduced himself.

　The other members of the Sirius team also lowered their heads slightly to show respect. They did not dare to be disrespectful at all to this kind of boss who fought off a group of ghost apes by himself without even releasing the companion book.

　Only Xiao Ke, who was the youngest and usually received the most attention from the team members, took a sneak peek before lowering his head and sighed in his heart, this adult is very young and handsome.

　Wen Shu pursed his lips and looked unhappy. When he woke up, the soul he held tightly on his chest was dim, and he couldn't feel Xia Chen's soul sleeping inside it. It means that either his soul has dissipated, or as Xia Tongban said, he has the opportunity to be reincarnated.

　Wen Shu never thought about the former possibility. If Xia Tongban dared to lie to him, he would dare to poke a hole in him. When he was in pain, no one would be able to feel better.

　Moreover, the magic book placed next to him was also missing. It was an item that had been claimed by its owner. No one could use it except Xia Chen, so Wen Shu felt that the book should have gone to find its owner.

　This is good, most of Yuan Bao's abilities are in those mutated plants. With the magic book by his side, he will not lack combat effectiveness and his safety will be guaranteed.

　At this time, Wen Shu never imagined that the use of the magic book would be restricted due to changes in the laws of the world. Xia Chen was not reincarnated directly, but was reborn in the body of a young man who had just died, and his mental power was completely restricted.

　"Bring it."

　Wen Shu's eyes fell on the companion book that Xiao Ke had forgotten to put away. The body of her companion book was milky white, with a book cover with various cute little patterns on it.

　After hearing Wen Shu's words, everyone in the team followed his gaze and looked at Xiao Ke's companion book. Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, but the others' faces turned pale.

　Ali wanted to step forward to block Xiao Ke, but Duan Tianlang grabbed him, summoned his companion book, and handed it to Wen Shu respectfully: "Sir, she is an auxiliary card master. Her cards are yours." It may not be easy to use. Take a look at my card to see if there is one you can use."

　Judging from Wen Shu's performance just now, it is impossible for him to be an assistant. Although I don't understand how such a big boss can appreciate their cards, but they can't beat them, so they might as well hand in the cards honestly to avoid being beaten. You still have to pay it later.

　Wen Shu didn't bother to explain, and he didn't necessarily want the girl's book. He was just a little curious. Each of these people actually had a book. Although the appearance was different, in terms of function, it was too similar to Xia Chen's magic book. .

　After taking Duan Tianlang's book and flipping through it, Wen Shu discovered that his book only had eleven pages, but because each page had cards embedded in it, it looked thicker, so overall it was not thin, but compared to Xia Chen That thick book is incomparable.

　Wen Shu didn't know that Duan Tianlang's talent had five card slots, which was good or bad, but he was very lucky to be promoted to a star. When he was promoted to a four-star card master, there was never a situation where not a single card slot was increased. There were even two cases. Two more card slots have been added each time. Among card masters of the same level, his number of card slots may not be the largest, but it is definitely not the least.

　He was really wronged by judging these ordinary card masters by the cheating standards of Xia Chen's magic book.

　Although Duan Tianlang's companion book only has eleven card slots, the total number of cards is more than eleven, and there are many duplicate cards.

　Wen Shu flipped through it and picked out a three-star stone skin. He didn't ask Duan Tianlang how to use the card. He just tried it the same way he used the Xia Chen card and felt the spiritual energy in his mind. There was an imperceptible fluctuation, and then the card was used on himself as he wished.

　He quietly felt that a layer of energy seemed to be soaking into his skin as the cards shattered, but his physical defense was so strong that it automatically rejected and even continuously consumed this foreign energy during the resistance.

　Wen Shu tried to restrain himself and accepted it, but the remaining thin energy only formed a thin stone shell on his hand. With a flick of his finger, the stone shell suddenly split apart and rotted into several broken stone pieces. .

　The Sirius team who witnessed the whole process were all stunned, and then turned to look at the card owner Duan Tianlang who looked in disbelief.

　As teammates, they have certainly seen Duan Tianlang use Stone Skin. This is a practical card that is not expensive and has a high cost performance. It can cover the surface of the body with a layer of stone armor that fits the skin. It has very good defense. Great protection for melee combat.

　But correspondingly, because stone skin will affect the user's agility, it is rated as a three-star. If this shortcoming is not there, it will definitely be rated as a four-star.

　But even if it is a three-star card, its defense power is well known to be high. How could it be broken after someone flicked it?

　And when Duan Tianlang used it, the armor covered his whole body, but when the boss used it, it only covered one hand?

　It can't be that the boss doesn't have enough mental power. If he doesn't have enough mental power, then the cards won't be used!

　Several people were full of doubts. Duan Tianlang wanted to try it with Zhang Shifu himself to see if there was something wrong with the card or with his eyes.

　Wen Shu definitely didn't have the kindness to answer their questions. After studying the books and cards, he suddenly lost interest. He threw the books back to Duan Tianlang and said coldly: "Take me to the nearest human settlement. Take you Tell me everything you know."

　Having only consumed one Samsung card, Duan Tianlang felt confident, put away his companion book, and asked carefully: "What do you want to know?"

　Wen Shu: "What news do you know?"

　Duan Tianlang thought for a while, starting with the nearest Fuyun City, Fuyun City is just a small city, or in other words, all cities near large mountains or training points are not very big.

　Because these cities are close to areas where mutant plants and mutant beasts gather in large numbers, there is no shortage of explorers coming and going. No matter how small the place is, they are lively and prosperous, and there are many good things that are rare even in big cities.

　In the past, there were builders who wanted to expand the city for profit, but every few years there would be a huge wave of mutant beasts attacking the city. If it was too close to the mountains, the beast wave would be almost endless, and explorers could be seen everywhere. If you are just a passer-by, you will definitely not stay behind when encountering such a situation. The city's defense force is seriously insufficient, and almost nothing can be defended.

　After doing this for several times, no one will spend effort and money to run this small border town. The entire city is a city rather than a gathering place for floating people. Once a beast tide occurs, the city owner will probably run away with people.

　As a senior explorer, Duan Tianlang knows all kinds of information, from the origin and background of Fuyun City to the city's specialties, relying on mountains and mountains. Fuyun City is so close to the Howling Ghost Forest, and the specialty is the Samsung Horror Card.

　It is said that there are higher-level mutant beasts in the Yundang Mountains, but no one dares to go in. There was once a team of explorers with five stars and above who were fully prepared to break into the Yundang Mountains, but only one person escaped with a broken hand.

　The fear card is obtained from the ghost ape. It is a special type of card. It does not limit the user. It can be used by warriors, mages or auxiliaries. The effect is similar to the scream of the ghost ape. It makes the enemy tremble and fear. It is simple. Just to put it bluntly, it will scare you.

　Don't look at this function as a joke, but it is very difficult to guard against such a card that directly impacts the soul. Even a moment of confusion is enough to change the situation of the battle.

　Duan Tianlang said and Wen Shu listened, and he quickly extracted a lot of useful information from his words.

　Fighters in this world are called card masters, and they fight with cards. It seems that everyone has a book similar to Xia Chen's, which means that Xia Chen's safety is more guaranteed. He will not have a strange book when he was born. The book was found and treated as a monster.

　Yes, Wen Shu thought that the afterlife that Xia Tongban mentioned was just like the time when Xia Chen traveled through time, being reborn and growing from a little baby.

　Although he did not see the Soul-Residing Dim Magic Book disappear with his own eyes, he was sure that he woke up not too late, so his lover was probably still a baby at this moment. On the way, he even looked through the supplies in the space and thought Find something that will hold human pups.

　At this time, Xia Baobao Chen was knocking down his opponent with one punch. The vines followed his will and climbed up to the tall man whose hands were pressed back, and tied him tightly into a rice dumpling.

　"Are you admitting defeat?" Xia Chen imitated Wen Shu's approach and asked Mr. Zongzi with an indifferent look, especially in the style of a boss.

　The rice dumpling was tied up with vines so that his blood flow was sluggish, his eyes were burning and his face was red like an overripe watermelon, and he was about to explode.

　What's even more embarrassing is that he was defeated by a brat who looked like he was underage, again in this way.

　"Aren't you a plant mage?!" Zongzi gritted his teeth and shouted, how can any mage hit someone directly with his fist!

　Oops, you don't understand. Magical and martial arts are the way to go. At first, he was a long-range heavy artillery, and he was in danger once he got close. Later, he learned from the painful experience and learned a few tricks from his own boss. He didn't ask for more skills, at least We have to buy some time for rescue, so that Wen Shu won't be killed before he even flies over.

　This time he didn't just rely on fists and kicks to win. He didn't dare to use many cards. He used a jumping grass to increase his flexibility, a vine to control, and a big mushroom to grow for himself. , although it looks strange, there are not many surprising functions and it will not attract too much attention.

　The Zongzi opposite was his first opponent, a three-star melee card master. He probably felt that this kid was easy to bully, and he coveted the food cards he took out as bets, so he rushed to the stage.

　It's not that Mr. Zongzi has no merits. He is extremely powerful and has the talent for strength. The deck is also trying its best to develop in this direction, with all cards that increase strength and endurance.

　However, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't touch Xia Chen. The jumping grass was placed on his shoes, as if there were springs under his feet. Xia Chen, who was holding a big mushroom on his head, was considered a strong man, and he wore the rice dumplings alive.

　The author has something to say: "Nurture Plan" by Wen Shu

　1. Learn to prepare milk powder.

　2. Learn to change diapers.

　3. Learn to coax the cub to sleep.

　4. Prepare cradle, rattle and other items in advance.

 Chapter 252 Extra 3 (6)

"This is your trophy for this game, please take it."

　The service staff of the gambling arena presented the cards that Zongzi lost to Xia Chen and asked politely: "Do you want to continue to participate in the competition? If you don't want to participate, we also buy various food cards here at favorable prices. You can consider it." "

　Xia Chen inquired about the prices of various food cards in advance and found that the most valuable was the fruit card. To be precise, the price of any food card containing sweetness was relatively high.

　Thinking about it, we can no longer grow food, let alone sugar crops.

　Xia Chen traveled through the ancient times before the apocalypse. Although there was a shortage of sugar, there were still sources of sweets such as maltose, honey, etc. This world did not even have these.

　There is honey, but the bees have mutated long ago, and their venom is so cruel that they have stung countless honey collectors to death.

　So the food card that Xia Chen took out as a bet specifically asked for a fruit card. As soon as he slapped the card on it, some people were immediately stunned by the temptation and gave Xia Chen food in vain. Even the management of the gambling arena took the initiative to ask what they wanted. Acquire his fruit card.

　Xia Chen took a look at the card that Zongzi lost to him. It was a melee three-star powerful card. The name was scary, but it actually increased the user's strength by a bit. It was almost as useful as his big mushroom.

　Among Samsung cards, it is an average cost-effective card. Fortunately, it requires less mental energy and can be used multiple times.

　This card was of little use to Xia Chen, but he still summoned the companion book and put the card away.

　The five book cards he bought can only produce one seven-star book card. The highest level book card can not only change the form of the magic book in front of outsiders, but also the card slot cards in the book can be disguised. From the outside, you can't tell that a book pickup is used.

　His current magic book, or companion book, looks like a thick black book with a lot of basic card slots. It has a complicated dark red pattern on the cover. In the surrounding area, it particularly matches the temperament of Zijian's face.

　The persona he created for the identity of Zi Jian is that he is a top genius born with eight card slots. He comes from a wealthy family and is taught by a famous teacher. After becoming a three-star card master, he began to travel to various cities at the request of the teacher to experience different cards from different places. Use style and deck matching.

　With such an identity, it is typical not to offend easily if there is no deep hatred, because the genius of the eight-card slot is still a young master from a wealthy family. It is impossible to take an ordinary person as his teacher. It is very likely that he will beat the younger one to get older.

　Don't think that just killing someone will solve the problem. In the magical world of cards, Guang Xia has several cards that can track down the real murderer in his memory, pointing directly to the real murderer.

　Moreover, his identity as an outsider can also explain his special cards that are different from those commonly used locally.

　Although it has not been tested yet, Xia Chen believes that the Seven-Star Book Pickup can help him hide his magic book. At least in this small town, it can protect him and enhance his abilities before he truly grows up.

　"Continue to play, let's press this food card." Xia Chen handed the food card to the notary office where the betting cards were stored, and jumped onto the betting table again.

　"Me!"

　"I'll bet with him!"

　"Let me teach this brat a lesson, give way to me"

　The venue was bustling with people, and people who were interested in the food card but had not taken the opportunity before were rushing to the stage.

　Although Xia Chen won just now, in the eyes of these veteran gamblers, he just had the advantage of having a card that increased agility. He had a little bit of boxing and kicking skills, but that was all.

　But it's normal. Plant mage card masters, who have nothing to do, will practice their skills like melee combat. The win just now was purely due to his unlucky strength battle.

　And looking at Xia Chen's tactics just now, he didn't make a heavy move even if he won the battle. In addition to losing the card, the battle didn't even scratch his skin. It's obvious that the young master is soft-hearted and doesn't want to see blood. Even if he loses, it won't be a big deal. Damage, the list of these people is suddenly huge.

　Facing the strong men who swarmed over to eat his food cards and wanted to knock him down, Xia Chen said calmly: "I want attack plant cards. If you don't have plant cards, other types will do. Whoever has them will go first."

　The impact was so severe that Xia Chen would be seriously injured even if he was not dead. Even if he was rescued, there was still a question of whether his face could be saved. 　

He grinned and threw the fireball towards Xia Chen. The fireball was very fast, sparks flying in all directions and whizzing towards Xia Chen's face. 　

And red light surged between Lao Wang's hands, and a fireball the size of a football gradually took shape. 　

With the referee's order, cards flew out of their companion books at the same time. Two green lights appeared one after another, one climbed up to Xia Chen's ankle, and the other converged in front of Xia Chen. 

　The Fire Pharaoh was interacting with the admiring audience below. When he heard Xia Chen's words, his face twitched, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Well, young master, don't blame me, the old king, for being too cruel." 　

"Admit defeat? Let's talk about it after the big talk." 　

In spite of Zi Jian's face, Xia Chen also tried his best to move his behavior closer to Zi Jian's. He deliberately created a completely different identity. 

　Anyway, there are many people below, and Xia Chen cannot retaliate one by one. 　

The audience below was naturally repelled by Xia Chen, a rich man who seemed to be well-born and well-endowed, not to mention that he was so arrogant, so they took the opportunity to boo him. 　

"Hahahahaha, what are you talking about?" 　

"Old Wang, please take it easy, don't beat the young master to tears, be careful of others suing the parents hahahaha" 　

"Admit defeat! Admit defeat quickly!" 

　But the fire method is different. It's a typical violent output flow. What's even more embarrassing is that there are no plants that are not afraid of fire? Fire magic Tianke plant system. 

　For example, the three cards Xia Chen used in the last game were all plant-type cards, so everyone assumed that he was a plant-type mage deck. Plant cards tended to be more control-supportive and had average lethality. 　

The card master's companion book has limited card slots, and it is impossible to bring all cards. Moreover, according to the companion cards that come with the companion book, you can see what potential you have for development. In the future, your deck will also develop in one direction and try to match it as much as possible. The right deck. 

　The short fat man had a lot of flesh on his face, and his eyes disappeared when he smiled. He said maliciously: "Young Master, Lao Wang, I have to explain to you first. I specialize in fire techniques. You, who has such delicate skin and tender flesh, are injured." I can't take responsibility, why don't you just admit defeat!" 

　The card masters who were so crowded that they almost started fighting suddenly became angry with each other, and soon a greasy short fat man was pushed out.

　These words are so arrogant that they seem to be vying to give him a card, and they have to let the young master choose. Those who like the ones at the front of the queue and those who don't like move back.

　Before the ferocious and smug smile on Lao Wang's face could be put away, he heard a loud roar, and dust and gravel fell from his head with the sun. Then the fireball hit the huge tree that was so tall that it broke through the roof, making a negligible sound. The popping sound.

　It seemed like someone accidentally smiled.

　Everyone present fell into silence. The referee, card custodian and service staff looked at them with their mouths wide open, and the roof of the betting arena was punctured by strange trees.

　There was a roar from upstairs: "What's going on?! Who dares to cause trouble in my place? It's your life!"

　"Boss, this is not causing trouble, it is a card used by the guests participating in the gambling battle." The referee almost cried. What is this? How could a three-star card master have such a card.

　The boss of the gambling arena was a bearded man. Xia Chen couldn't tell his level, but he felt it should be high.

　Xia Chen tried to stay calm. He didn't want to throw the iron tree at first, but unfortunately there were no low-level single-target defense cards in his card. People are naturally afraid of fire. When the fireball flew towards his face, he fired it. Looking for something to block him, Tieshu used it.

　"Boss, I asked before participating in the gambling battle. Your waiter said that your venue is very sturdy and can be used as you like."

　The bearded man's face darkened. They were betting on the expensive black rock specially used in the fighting arena. It is made of durable black rock. Of course, it can be used casually, but who knew you were going to stab my roof!

　Fortunately, in order to facilitate the viewing of the VIP boxes upstairs, there was an open space above the fighting platform, otherwise more than one roof might have been pierced.

　"Boy, don't play tricks like me." The bearded man put his hand in his hand and said condescendingly: "Aren't you betting and fighting? Go on, whoever loses will have to pay for my roof."

　Lao Wang and Xia Chen looked at each other, and both saw the belief in winning in each other's eyes, and they took action at the same time.

　This time Lao Wang used several cards in a row, and the fireballs he threw were not as big as before, but there were a lot of them. He thought that Xia Chen only had one tree, and it seemed that he couldn't move it. The fireballs he threw from the side, let's see where this kid goes. hide.

　Xia Chen threw out a row of iron trees, blocking the air in front of him. Anyway, he had no money to repair the roof if he lost. There was no difference between one hole and two holes. If he won, he didn't need to repair it, so that would be even better. Don't care anymore.

　At the same time, the edelweiss shot away quickly and quickly froze Lao Wang on the stage, unable to move. The vines climbed up and twisted his neck tightly.

　However, after two or three rounds of fighting, Lao Wang, who was full of fighting spirit and everyone was optimistic about it, lost. Fire spell can indeed defeat the plant type, but it also depends on what kind of plant it is.

　A plant like iron tree, which Xia Chen once used for city defense, could not be cut down with a knife, and the little fireball couldn't burn it.

　However, Xia Chen dared to let Tangle Teng attack because he was sure that there was nothing he could do after Lao Wang was charged, and the fire method could defeat this move.

　For example, the four-star card Flame Whip and Flame Hand, and the five-star card Flame Body can not only increase the resistance to flames, but also provide defense.

　But Lao Wang is a poor three-star card master, and that Pyroblast Fireball is his card at the bottom of the box.

　The bearded man raised his head and took a few glances at the many holes he had been poked into. If it weren't for the iron tree holding up the roof that was about to collapse, he might have been too angry, but instead smiled.

　"Boy, what kind of card is this?" An experienced high-star card master like him could see the limitations and advantages of this card at a glance. This card is obviously used for base or city defense. Personally It's not very useful, and it's useless alone, and it's not even as useful as the Samsung Earth Shield card.

　"Iron tree card, my brother's newly tamed card species."

　Xia Chen raised his chin and showed off proudly: "My brother gave me some pictures of the mutated plants he discovered in the Yundang Mountains."

　The audience who had heard the name of the Yundang Mountain Range talked a lot and couldn't believe it. Didn't they say that there was no return to that place? Is this kid bragging? But they have never seen this card before. Judging from the towering appearance of this tree, it seems to grow in the deep mountains and old forests.

　Only the bearded man's pupils shrank, these people didn't understand. He knew the admission standards of Yundang Mountains. At the very least, he had to be a six-star card master to be qualified to save his life.

　"What's your brother's name?"

　"His name is Wen Shu, the most powerful person in the world."

　The author has something to say: Xia Chen: Looking at my face, you can tell that you are your biological child!

 Chapter 253 Extra 3 (7)

On the gambling platform, several black shadows stabbed at the young man who was cornered at different angles at the same time. Xia Chen used his feet hard and Tiaotiaocao to help him. He jumped and twisted to avoid the black shadows coming from the left and behind.

　The light in his right hand condensed, and the huge wooden shield blocked the dagger on the right side. The vines entangled the black shadow from behind, and the black shadow was easily crushed by the vines like a shadow.

　But the black shadow was so fast that its body was broken into pieces. Its arm and the dagger it was holding stabbed towards Xia Chen's back with inertia.

　A blazing ring of fire rose from Xia Chen's body, and the remaining black shadow was knocked back a few steps. The dagger that relied on inertia to move forward also did useless work.

　Even though he knew that this was a talented young man with extremely high talents, after seeing him use the ice card and then the fire ring of resistance, it was not obvious that he lacked mental strength. Heiying was unwilling to accept it. Sometimes the so-called Genius can really make people lose their fighting spirit.

　But that was someone else, Heiying, an ordinary card master who worked hard from the bottom. If such a small failure could make him give up, then he would not be able to compete with his current strength.

　The Ring of Resistance is a powerful defensive card with a certain degree of lethality. It can be called a god card among the three-star cards of the fire system. It is a must for the magic system, especially the fire magic.

　However, it makes sense for such a powerful card to be positioned as a three-star card. It consumes mental energy, but its duration is very short. If the timing of release is not grasped, this card may be wasted.

　Furthermore, this card is a consumable card and can be used one to three times depending on the quality of the card.

　The black shadow disappeared and the figure lay dormant patiently, silently counting seconds in their hearts for the ring of resistance to expire. After these days, they had already come to know the young master on the stage.

　This young master is extremely talented and has a lot of card slots, definitely more than ten. In the first few days of gambling, he used his own cards. He has a good sense of fighting and his skills are pretty good compared to his peers, but His shortcomings are also obvious, lacking effective attack methods.

　Even though the young master uses more than one type of card, the one he uses most is the plant type, and plant cards tend to be more supportive and control-oriented, which leaves the young master with no choice but to control his opponent to win the battle.

　This is his chance. As long as he is not charged, the young master will definitely lose.

　The black shadow concentrated on waiting for the opportunity, but Xia Chen did not stop. Several sunflowers were thrown out one after another. The shadows on the stage were covered by the sunlight. The vines were circling back and forth under his feet. A thorn card was waiting for it. hair.

　The second the ring of resistance disappeared, the two of them took action at the same time. The card in Xia Chen's hand flew towards the black shadow that was heading straight for him, turning into a thin vine with sharp thorns and wrapping around the black shadow. .

　The thorns had the ability to attack, but were not as tough as the vines. Black Shadow allowed the thorns to pierce his skin, and relied on strength to break the thorns. At the same time, the thorns penetrated deeper, causing a dripping wound.

　too fast!

　Xia Chen originally thought that Thorn Card could block him, but he didn't expect this person to be so resistant. The card in his hand was about to shatter into pieces, and a slight cracking sound in his head made Xia Chen startled, and then he was overjoyed. The movement couldn't help but slow down, and the black shadow's dagger was already on his neck.

　"I lost." Xia Chen readily admitted defeat, but there was no trace of disappointment on his face.

　He really couldn't feel sad now. He had discovered it when he was fighting with others before. Because he kept pumping out his mental power, the flow rate of mental power flowing through the barrier was slightly accelerated.

　This is easy to understand. When his mental power remains full, although the mental power in the crack is also flowing this way, there is still a full amount of mental power blocking such a small gap.

　When he empties his mental energy, the resistance here is gone, and he is still desperately trying to get it, but the flow rate will speed up.

　Xia Chen came to the gambling arena. At first, he just wanted to get some usable cards and practice his skills. After all, he hadn't fought with anyone in many years.

　Later, when he discovered this unexpected benefit, he was even more overjoyed. Any method that could increase the speed of his mental recovery was a good idea. Only by recovering his mental power as soon as possible could he use the advanced cards in the magic book.

　For example, his Sleeping Flower is a standard group control and hard control. According to the standards here, it is a proper five-star upwards. As long as he can use it, most of the people present can only lie down and let him slaughter it.

　But he can't use it!

　There is also the Bloodthirsty Vine. His small vine was originally given to Zi Jian, but he still has the Bloodthirsty Vine card. Who said that the plant system is not lethal? If I throw out the bloodthirsty vine, all of you will cry!

　Not to mention his thunderbolt, its lethality has been proven, provided he can use it!

　It's heartbreaking to think about it. He is just one broken mental barrier away from becoming a real boss.

　But during the battle just now, his small crack actually expanded a little!

　It may be caused by being washed away by fast-flowing mental power for a long time. The expansion is not much, only about a quarter of the original size, but it also surprises Xia Chen. This means that he is one step closer to rising to the stars as soon as possible. .

　With this good thing ahead of him, losing this gambling battle would not be a big deal. He had never lost before. He had met a thunder method once, and the little lightning struck down at the referee's command.

　Lei Fa is famous for his fast attack speed. No matter how easy Xia Chen's jumping grass is, he still has to react first. How can his reaction speed be as fast as lightning?

　After weighing the gap between the two sides, Xia Chen decisively chose to admit defeat in order not to be electrocuted into an explosive head.

　In fact, this is because the bearded boss is more strict about rules. Unless a low star takes the initiative to challenge a high star, and the high star is not allowed to play, those four-star card masters would have long been bullied by Xia Chen, who has no backer around him. The young master is here.

　"Black Cloud, Shadow Thorn, my friends call me Lao Hei." Black Shadow took back the cards he pressed and the food cards Xia Chen pressed, and took the initiative to reach out to Xia Chen.

　Shadow Thorn is a major category among assassin-style card masters. Their decks often use a card called Shadow Stealth as the core card. Shadow Stealth is a rare multi-star card. It comes from a card named Shadow Thorn. They are mutant beasts of shadow beasts. The strength of this group is not uniform, so the lowest shadow card has two stars, and the highest one can reach six stars.

　The deck configuration of Shadow Thorn revolves around shadow concealment, enhancing its hiding ability and pursuing a one-hit kill.

　Wu Yun's ability is actually quite good, but the space on the gambling table is limited, and Xia Chen dumped a bunch of sunflowers, forcing him to take action early.

　Xia Chen still remembered Wu Yun's bravery in breaking through the thorn bush, and he admired this opponent. He held his outstretched hand and said, "Wen Zijian, Master, you can call me Zijian."

　"A few friends and I have formed an exploration team. Are you interested, Zi Jian?"

　Wu Yun took the initiative to extend an olive branch. He had a good impression of this young master. At least he didn't have the arrogance of those rich boys. He had some arrogance, but with such a talent, he would be arrogant as well.

　It just so happened that there was no shortage of output in his team, and everyone wanted to directly fight with mutant beasts and mutant plants. What was missing was support.

　Xia Chen hesitated for a moment, feeling quite moved.

　He has been in this world for so long and has only become familiar with the situation within the confines of this small town. He has not gone out to see it yet.

　And he was also curious about how the card masters in this world tamed cards from mutated animals and plants.

　But to be honest, he is indeed lacking in strength now. Wu Yun looks pretty good, but in fact they have only come into contact with him this time.

　There is also the issue of Xia Yi's identity that has not been resolved. During this period, he went out early and came back late, avoiding some disputes. But those things will be resolved sooner or later, and he will avenge Xia Yi.

　With his current strength, it would certainly not be difficult to directly kill the teenagers in Daxiong, but they were all minors and were protected by the law. If he wanted to continue to stay in this city, he would have to find another opportunity.

　Besides, he didn't want to use his identity as Zi Jian to kill those people. He wanted to use his identity as Xia Yi to take revenge and let those cold-blooded teenagers who participated in bullying know that their lives were actually ruined in their own hands.

　Wu Yun saw Xia Chen's hesitation, but he also understood it. After all, the two parties were not very familiar with each other, so he smiled and said: "One of my teammates was injured and is recuperating. There is still some time before departure. You can think about it first. If you want, Join and come to us anytime."

　"Okay, where are you going?"

　"The Forest of Beasts."

　Worried that Xia Chen didn't know the place, Wu Yun took the initiative to explain: "Go east from Linyan City for half a day and you can enter the Beast Forest. However, the mutant beasts there are relatively low in strength and have little hunting value.

　So our plan is to go directly through the Beast Forest and go to the Black Skull Mountain, which you should know is not far from the Yundang Mountains. Didn't you say that your brother is in the Yundang Mountains? If you need, we can take you to a nearby city, and you can follow us or not as you wish. "

　Xia Chen managed to maintain his expression with a polite smile. If Wu Yun hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he had an older brother who was fighting in the Yundang Mountains.

　He didn't know where Zi Jian was. At that time, he just mentioned a place name casually. After all, the Yundang Mountain Range was famous for its fierce reputation. It was the only dangerous place that an ordinary boy like Xia Yi knew.

　"Let's talk about it then. I don't know if my brother has come out of Yundang Mountain."

　Xia Chen, who made up a few random sentences to fool the dark clouds, didn't know that the place he was talking about was actually Wen Shu's location.

　At this time, Wen Shu was of course no longer in the Yundang Mountains. A few days ago, he met the Sirius team in the Howling Forest and learned about the general situation of this world from Duan Tianlang and others.

　At that time, he killed many ghost apes. After the members of the Sirius team discovered that he had no intention of collecting the trophies, they thought that the boss did not want to take action and took the initiative to dispose of the corpses of the ghost apes.

　However, because these ghost apes died not long ago, they may still get taming cards, and the taming cards may be directly bound, so they all sought Wen Shu's consent first.

　Wen Shu had seen them using cards before and didn't know the source of the cards. When Duan Tianlang narrated, he was more about introducing the surrounding environment and situation, and would not explain the well-known things like accompanying books and cards.

　Wen Shu didn't take the initiative to ask, not because he was afraid of exposing his identity. Anyway, as long as he came into contact with the world, he would always know what he wanted to know.

　Hearing their offer to tame the cards, Wen Shu nodded reluctantly, seemingly unconcerned, but he had a clear view of their actions.

　Then he discovered that the way these card masters tamed cards was a bit similar to the ingot upgrade magic book. They used books to hang above mutant beasts or mutant plants.

　However, Xia Chen's magic book absorbs the energy contained in the mutated plant remains, but these people's companion books condense a card above the mutated beast's corpse.

　This is a success. In fact, their efficiency in condensing cards is very low. There can be almost one card in ten ghost ape corpses.

　But this is also because the ghost ape is already dead. If you tame it while it is still alive, you need to beat it to death, so that the probability of getting the card is higher.

　The mutant cores of the ghost apes that had not condensed their cards were dug out. The mutant cores of the ghost apes were gray-black beads the size of soybeans. After they dug them out, they cleaned them all and sent them to Wen Shu.

　The mutated core can replenish the energy of the companion book and help the companion book advance. Although the companion book has its own function of storing cards to preserve card energy, if it is not charged for a long time, it will feel sluggish when used, like a machine that lacks lubrication.

　However, not many mutant cores are needed for charging. For ordinary low-star card masters who have no pursuits, absorbing a one-star mutant core in a year and a half is enough.

　Card masters like Duan Tianlang who often fight often use mutant cores, so they don't need to consider this issue at all. For them, the most important thing about mutant cores is to upgrade the companion book.

　Card masters need to improve their spiritual power to upgrade their stars, but upgrading companion books requires a large number of mutation cores.

　As long as there are enough mutation cores to push the companion book to seven stars in one breath, all card masters will try their best to upgrade their companion books, even if their own level cannot keep up.

　Anyway, the level of the companion book will not be limited by the card master's star rating, but the card master's star rating will be restricted by the level of the companion book.

　For example, Duan Tianlang is currently a four-star card master, but his companion book is not far from five-star. If he has enough mental strength before the companion book is upgraded, he will not be able to upgrade to a star, because he The companion book level is stuck.

　Card masters in the battle sequence will keep the companion book one level higher than their own level to ensure that they can advance smoothly when they reach the star promotion standard.

　Xia Chen doesn't have this problem. His magic book level is already very high. He can run as fast as he wants without being restricted by his old friend.

　Wen Shu glanced at the small pile of gray mutated nuclei in front of him, and a large handful of mutated nuclei of various colors appeared in his hand. The largest ones were as big as hawthorns, and the small ones were as big as peanuts. They were all very bright and beautiful. .

 Chapter 254 Extra 3 (8)As an important resource for the promotion of card masters and a source of supply for the existing energy system, mutant cores have extremely strict standards throughout the federation for their grading.

　Mutated beasts and mutant plants are simply and crudely divided into stars according to the level of cards they can produce, but the mutant cores in their bodies will be re-graded.

　Mutated cores that also come from three-star mutant beasts, some come from mutant beasts that are about to be promoted, and some come from mutant beasts that have just been promoted. The energy contained in them is very different, and the value is also different in heaven and earth.

　To specifically measure the value of mutant cores, there are corresponding machines in every city, as well as special cards.

　But for veterans like the Tianlang Team who often spend time in the wild, they can judge the value of mutant cores with absolute certainty based on their eyes and experience.

　The most basic point is that except for a few special mutant cores, most mutant cores are bigger and more beautiful, and the higher the level, the more valuable they are.

　Wen Shu took it out casually, which shocked the group.

　Xiao Ke stared at a grape-sized pink and shining mutant core without blinking. She had never seen such a beautiful mutant core. It was simply more gorgeous than those so-called jewelry.

　Duan Tianlang breathed quickly and looked at the smaller cyan mutant core. It was the mutant core of the Five-Star Winged Tiger. He had seen it at a large auction. Although it was not the final lot, the price was also his. Don't dare to hope.

　"How much can these things be exchanged for?"

　When Wen Shu came out of the mountains, he found that the resting place he had chosen many years ago had changed a lot. The cabin in the forest that he and Xia Chen had long fallen into decay and was covered in thick leaves. There were many giant trees and strange plants that he had never seen before.

　Then he met a large number of mutated animals and plants. He was no stranger to mutated plants, but mutated animals were rare in his time, and even if they did exist, they were usually not very powerful.

　But in this world, these things seem to be everywhere. Although they do not pose a threat to him, they are indeed much stronger than before he fell asleep.

　There were a few strong auras in the mountains, but they were far away from his path. Wen Shu was too lazy to spend time looking for them, and casually killed some that bumped into him.

　He sensed that the body was condensed with undissipated energy. He cut open the body following the energy source and found these beads.

　It's nice to look at, but I don't know what it's used for. However, his Yuanbao loves to hoard supplies, and he has developed a habit of keeping them if they are useful. When he finds someone, he will give them to him, so he can always meet him. The things I love.

　In addition to these beads, he also picked up some trophies, such as the azure mutant core that Duan Tianlang was looking at, which came from a tiger with wings.

　The tiger actually wanted to eat him. He originally wanted to kill him with a knife, but later he found that the leather was not bad, and he could lay it out in the baby's room, so he didn't have to worry about the child falling.

　So he changed his weapon and shot an arrow through his eye, successfully obtaining a complete tiger skin.

　There were also some flowers and fruits of mutant plants or other strange things, as well as mutant beast meat that he thought might be delicious. They were all thrown into the space by him, preparing to give some strange gifts to please his lover.

　But those beads in his hand, oh, mutant nuclei, are too many. Judging from the appearance of these people, they seem to be quite valuable, so it would be better to exchange them for some money to make it easier for him to walk in this world.

　"I don't know."

　Duan Tianlang swallowed his saliva, shook his head fiercely and said: "Sir, I have only seen the mutant core of this Winged Tiger, a five-star or above mutant core. It is not cost-effective to simply sell it for money. Almost no one will sell it. Used in exchange for supplies."

　For high-star card masters, money is important, but not important. They need to spend money to buy a lot of resources for themselves and companion books to upgrade, and they also need to purchase various cards to fill their decks and match their decks.

　It is easy for them to obtain money, but at the same time, many resources cannot be bought with money, and they can only exchange the same scarce resources with others.

　For example, with five-star mutation cores, card masters with three or below three stars need very little mutation core energy to upgrade their companion books. However, upgrading companion books is just like upgrading card masters. Three stars is a hurdle, and so is five stars.

　A four-star card master such as Duan Tianlang has filled his companion book with an unknown number of mutant cores in order to upgrade it. However, the low-star mutant cores do not have enough energy, so they can only increase the amount, but cannot produce a qualitative breakthrough.

　The reason why Duan Tianlang pays so much attention to Yihu's mutant core is because he wanted to buy such a five-star mutant core at the auction. If he could absorb it into his companion book, he might be able to directly upgrade the companion book to five stars. .

　The young boss in front of him looked like an expert who had lived outside the world for a long time. He looked very unfamiliar with the mundane world. And judging from his attitude, he also planned to let them help with the errands to deal with these mutant nuclei.

　Of course, Duan Tianlang could take the opportunity to deceive him and reveal the mutant core of the Winged Tiger that he had dreamed of for a long time.

　But his brain is still there. The value of the five-star mutant core is very high. The premise is to take it with his own life. They saw this big boss coming from the direction of the Yundang Mountains with their own eyes, and the corpses of ghost apes everywhere reminded him. The end of greed.

　Wen Shu fiddled with the beads in his palm with his fingers. Unexpectedly, these things were quite valuable. If he had known, he should have collected more. Raising a cub is the most expensive thing.

　"Sir, these ghost ape mutant cores can be sold for a lot of money. If you are willing, we can get rid of these low-level mutant cores for you first."

　Duan Tianlang took the initiative and said that anyway, he didn't dare to handle those top-level mutant cores, and he didn't have the ability.

　Knowing emotions and interests, and knowing how to adapt, Wen Shu was quite satisfied with the card master he met by chance.

　The azure wing tiger mutant core fell into Duan Tianlang's arms, and Wen Shu's words came: "Do something for me, and this mutant core will be yours."

　He didn't say what he wanted to do, nor how long it would take, but Duan Tianlang couldn't help but be moved.

　Without the high-star mutant core, he can't upgrade the companion book. If the companion book isn't upgraded, he can't advance himself, and his strength can't be improved. He can't even get the happy mutant core. This is an endless cycle.

　He is an ordinary card master who climbed up from the bottom. He has relied on his own hard work and talent to reach where he is now. With his status and wealth, if he misses this time, he may never have the opportunity to come into contact with the five-star mutant core. .

　Duan Tianlang looked back at his teammates. These were the brothers and comrades he had single-handedly brought out. He hesitated for a moment, grasped the mutant core tightly, and bent down deeply in front of Wen Shu: "Sir, may I ask if you can bring them with you?" Join my team and follow you together?"

　Xiao Ke and Ali still had a look of confusion on their faces. The tall and thin young man who had been silent all this time took a step forward and lowered his head respectfully: "Please accept us, sir. Although our rank is not in your eyes, we are quite proficient in trivial matters. We can help you with a few little things."

　Wen Shu took a closer look at the tall and thin young man for the first time, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is your name?"

　"My subordinate Wu Duo."

　......

　Thousands of miles away, Wen Shu had just accepted a few younger brothers, but here Xia Chen was approached by someone else's younger brothers.

　The skinny monkey's dry face was covered in bruises and one cheek was swollen. He also limped when he walked, so he was obviously injured.

　"You loser didn't expect you were still alive and you dared to file a complaint!"

　He had a vicious and mocking smile on his face: "You are finished. The boss is looking for you and wants you to wait for him at the same place last time."

　How ridiculous! This group of perpetrators, after discovering that the victim was not dead, even dared to ask the victim to go to the place where the murder took place.

　The expression on the thin monkey clearly told him: You were lucky enough to survive last time, but this time I will take your life!

　Xia Chen deliberately provoked Xia Cheng to get him into trouble with these murderers, and Xia Cheng also deliberately revealed the reason for his revenge. He never cared about his brother's situation. If Daxiong and the others hadn't "abused" him this time, he wouldn't have done it at all. Will take action.

　"Did you hear me talking to you?" Thin Monkey twisted his face and stretched out his hand to push Xia Chen.

　Even among the gangsters in the school, they are the least popular ones. Those who have a little bit of pursuit will not catch Xia Yi, a cripple who doesn't even have a companion book, to bully him.

　In the past, Xia Cheng was happy to see Xia Yi suffer misfortune, so he was too lazy to take action. This time he felt humiliated. He was a well-known genius boy in Lin Yanyi, so there was no problem if he wanted to deal with a few gangsters.

　So Da Xiong and the gang were in dire straits during this period. Xia Cheng was ruthless. Every one of these gangsters was injured. Several of them were beaten until their teeth were lost. Da Xiong, the leader, even had one of his hands broken. .

　They neither dared nor had the ability to retaliate against Xia Cheng, so they turned their anger onto Xia Chen.

　Aren't you going to file a complaint? I will beat you to death this time, let's see who else you can complain to!

　As for Xia Cheng's revenge?

　Who doesn't know that the Xia family hates their crippled son to death?

　If Xia Yi's death last time could be considered an accident, then this time, their purpose of committing murder was obvious.

　Xia Chen turned sideways to avoid Slender Monkey's dirty hand. Slender Monkey made a strong move. Unprepared, he dodged and almost fell to the ground. He rushed forward several steps before stopping.

　"Hey, you still dare to hide?" Thin Monkey was furious and punched someone, but Xia Chen easily dodged it again.

　The thin monkey was stunned. He took a closer look at the young man in front of him. His clothes were still tattered and baggy, but he looked much cleaner. His long bangs covered half of his face. He was that good-for-nothing Xia Yi, but why did he feel that... Something seems different?

　"I'm warning you! I'm waiting in the alley tonight. If you dare not go, the boss will tell you that you will be stripped naked and hung on the flagpole in the school, so that the whole school can see if Tiancan is also disabled down there, haha. Hahahaha!"

　He seemed to think that this evil idea was really wonderful, especially when he saw Xia Chen's lips trembling slightly, as if he was worried, and the swelling feeling in his heart made him feel so relieved to be rid of the depression of being called a waste.

　So what if the talent has one card slot? Isn't there such a kind of cripple who doesn't even have a companion book?

　Teeth clenched loudly, Xia Chen used all his endurance to avoid killing this black-hearted evil spirit directly.

　Xia Yi is a child who is so soft and kind that he can be bullied. He should not become a murderer and thug who breaks the law because of these people who are not worthy of being called human beings.

　Staring at Shouhou's leaving figure, he murmured softly: "Xia Yi, wait a little longer, and I will avenge you openly."

Chapter 255 Extra 3 (9)

Xia Chen quickly walked into the small space belonging to Xia Yi, closed the balcony door, and blocked out Jin Qili's cursing voice.

　With his back against the door, he quickly summoned today's food card. After finishing dinner with the water from the hose, Xia Chen took out the second seven-star book card he had just cultivated.

　After taking off the first black and red book card, the magic book immediately returned to its original appearance. Xia Chen concentrated on it for a moment, and the seven-star card between his fingers turned into a stream of light and enveloped the magic book.

　The second book card pretends to be a companion book belonging to Xia Yi. In this poor child's memory, he has fantasized about his companion book countless times.

　Xia Cheng's companion book is brown and red, and the companion cards it comes with are a two-star firework and a three-star earth shield. The companion cards are the only cards that are not restricted by the level of the companion book.

　Although the number is relatively small, these two cards are relatively practical, and they are both attack cards. They are very good companion cards.

　These two cards mean that Xia Cheng is more suitable for a mage-style deck, preferably fire or earth.

　Judging from the companion book alone, his talent in the earth type may be higher, but Xia Cheng did not hesitate to choose the explosive output of the fire type, and the self-planned deck also pursued the ultimate output.

　Xia Yi was once burned by Xia Cheng with a small fireball. He was only a one-star card, but he bullied Xia Yi terribly.

　Xia Chen dug out Xia Yi's hidden desire from the depths of his memory and murmured: "Fire method?"

　As his words fell, the light on the magic book gradually disappeared, and a large golden and red dazzling book appeared in front of him.

　The gold and red color scheme can easily give people a dazzling and gorgeous feeling. Under Xia Chen's control, there are some flame pictures and text on the spine of the book cover. At a glance, as long as you are not blind, you can see that this is correct. It is a fire spell companion book with extremely high fire talent.

　As for the card slots, the companion book that has not been upgraded will only have the original talent card slots. Xia Chen did not hesitate to set it to eight.

　He rummaged through the cards he had won from the gambling arena and quickly found what he wanted, a three-star Ring of Resistance, a two-star Fireworks, and a three-star Explosive Flame.

　Insert the three cards into the gold and red companion book. This is Xia Yi's companion book and companion card.

　Putting away the magic book with satisfaction, Xia Chen sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, closed his eyes and manipulated his mental power to attack the cracks in the barrier.

　At this moment, the group of murderous teenagers are probably waiting for Xia Yi in the alley where he died! Maybe you are angry and thinking about how to get back at him.

　​But who cares? They are all going to die anyway, so it's not a big deal to let people lose their temper before they die.

　It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door opening coming from outside the poorly soundproofed door, and Xia Cheng asking about Xia Yi's name, that Xia Chen sat down and listened.

　Xia Cheng was asking Xia Yi if he had come back, and heard Jin Qili complaining and replying: "As soon as she comes back, she gets into the doghouse and can't get out."

　Xia Cheng said "Oh" without much interest. There was no trace of concern or happiness in his voice, only disappointment and boredom.

　Xia Chen's eyes darkened and a sneer formed at the corner of his mouth.

　Xia Yi, the younger brother, is really cruel. When he was a teenager, he never took the initiative to ask about his brother's whereabouts. It was rare to ask him today, but what he cared about was whether his brother went to the death invitation.

　In the spacious living room outside was the Xia family's happy family of three. Jin Qili got some meat and cooked it to replenish Xia Cheng's health.

　Xia Chen worked up his emotions for a while, tugged his hair randomly, lowered his head and bent his back, opened the balcony door, and walked in front of Xia Cheng.

　Disgust flashed in Xia Cheng's eyes, and he looked impatient: "What are you doing?"

　Xia Chen followed Xia Yi's speaking habits and said in a weak voice: "Brother, those who robbed my food card want to take revenge on me, please help me."

　"Are you kidding me?" Xia Cheng's eyes widened and he yelled, "I don't have time to mind your business. You are such a cripple, can you cause less trouble?"

　"I didn't cause any trouble," Xia Chen defended weakly.

　Jin Qili strode over, pushed Xia Chen away, and reprimanded loudly: "How hard is it for your brother to go to school and practice, and you still dare to bother him with your bad things? You didn't cause trouble, why don't they bully others, only you? Come on! Get out of here and stop being an eyesore!"

　"Who is his brother? Don't call me that, it's disgusting. If you don't think it's embarrassing to have a crippled son, I'd still think it's embarrassing. Why don't you tell him to get out of here? This loser doesn't dare to complain anyway."

 　Xia Cheng exploded all of a sudden, his eyes were burning with anger, he pushed down the table and shouted loudly: "Get out! Get out of here! If you dare to talk about you and say such things in school, I will kill you!" 

Wherever the fire was burning, Xia Cheng was directly ignited. A large fireball hit Xia Chen. Xia Chen pretended to stumble and avoid it. The Xia family's big sofa was damaged and burned with a bang. 　

Xia Chen was pressed on the head and apologized. When he finished, he sobbed and said: "I don't want to be bullied. Brother, please help me." 

　He was so excited that he summoned all the accompanying books, and several fire cards were ready to be used. Xia An and Jin Qili were so frightened that they hurriedly comforted Xia Chen and asked him to apologize and repent. 

　Xia Cheng yelled crazily, his eyes red, as if he was crazy: "If he doesn't get out, I will leave! Drive him out and don't allow him to stay in the same household registration as me!" 

　"Let him go away, let him go away!" 

　But if Xia Yi takes the initiative to admit it, that would be a completely different story. Just think that when he mentions himself in the future, others will say that he has a Tiancan brother who doesn't even have a companion book, and his reputation will be tied to a Tiancan brother! 　

There were rumors in the school that they were brothers, but because Xia Yi had never dared to say it before, and when others asked, he would just shake his head, and he himself denied it, so even if everyone knew it, in front of a genius like him, no one would Will take the initiative to mention it. 

　Xia Cheng was so angry that this loser actually wanted to drag him into the water because he was afraid of death? ! 　

"Who the hell cares about your life or death? Get out of here!" 　Xia Chen shivered and sobbed, "I have a genius brother, those people can't bully me" 　

He was shaking, as if he couldn't bear the blow of being insulted and abandoned by his mother and brother one after another. He finally broke out and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You are my brother. We are in the same household registration book. I must tell everyone. Classmate and teacher, you are my brother." 　

Xia Chen didn't come out just to scold him. It would be beneficial if he got scolded. 　

She still couldn't bear the fine she had to pay for abandoning her underage child. Anyway, it didn't cost much to raise Xia Yi, and she could still help with the work and housework.

　When Jin Qili saw that her precious son was angry, she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my precious son is right, we will let him go in one year."

　While crying, Jin Qili rushed into the bathroom to collect water to put out the fire. She finally put out the fire. Looking at the messy house, Jin Qili burst into tears.

　Xia An sighed, looked at his younger son who had his head raised with an angry face, and then at his eldest son who was huddled in the corner with his head lowered, and said helplessly: "Let's go to the shelter."

　That is the place where all orphaned and abandoned minors live. Abandoned children have to pay a high fine. The amount of the fine is calculated based on the age of the child. For a child like Xia Chen who is very close to adulthood, the fine amount is not high. It's small, but it's not something the Xia family can't afford.

　His goal was successful, Xia Cheng immediately said: "Dad, go and cancel his household registration. I don't want to stay in the same household registration book as him!"

　Xia An said with a headache: "Everyone at the household registration office is off work now. Let's go there tomorrow."

　Xia Cheng nodded reluctantly, but Xia Chen definitely couldn't stay in this home. Jin Qili stayed behind to clean up the house, while Xia Chen was driven by Xia An and Xia Cheng to the shelter.

　After registering at the shelter and paying the fine, Xia An inhaled in pain and became even more disgusted with Xia Chen. This son was born to collect debts.

　Get the fine receipt issued by the shelter - the children in the shelter call it the abandonment certificate. Take it to the household registration office the next day, and you can transfer Xia Chen's household registration. After that, Xia Chen's household registration will be listed on He was kept in a shelter until he came of age and lived alone.

　With Xia Cheng here, Xia Chen doesn't have to worry about accidents regarding the account transfer, and the money has been paid. With the mentality of Xia An and Jin Qili, they will never let the money go to waste.

　He kept his head down from beginning to end, and his clothes and hair still had traces of fire, as if he had been heartbroken by his family.

　The staff at the shelter had probably seen this kind of thing happen too often. Only one woman comforted Xia Chen a little, then gave him a dormitory bed, and then paid no attention to him.

　The so-called shelter is just a place to stay for these children who have nowhere to settle.

　Early the next morning, the staff member who had comforted Xia Chen last night came to tell Xia Chen that his household registration had been moved to the shelter.

　The child in front of him was a cripple, and the attitudes of his parents and brothers were so bad that the staff didn't even know how to say words of comfort. They sighed, gave him a mantou, and left.

　The Baguo Mantou was snatched away by other people in the shelter before he could take a bite of it. Xia Chen leaned against the wall without any reaction, his whole body was stunned, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock. .

　After a while, he slowly left the shelter. The staff asked him where he was going, and he said school.

　He did go to school. Ever since Xia Chen traveled through time, he had never gone to school in order to avoid trouble. And in his class, the teacher didn't care at all whether a Tiancan came to class.

　Xia Yi is very inconspicuous in the school but very famous. After all, geniuses are rare, and geniuses are equally rare. He has not been here for a long time. As soon as he entered the school, he was noticed by his classmates, and then the news spread to the ears of interested people.

　Before Xia Chen could reach the teaching building, he was stopped by someone. The Big Bear Slim Monkey and a group of people blocked in front of him. They were all injured but arrogant, with vicious and angry expressions on their faces.

　There was excitement to be seen, and soon a group of students gathered around. Xia Chen saw Xia Cheng in the crowd. He caught Xia Chen's gaze with a gloating smile on his face, raised the corners of his mouth maliciously, and scratched his neck with his palm. He made a beheading gesture.

　"Trash, I wanted you to die quickly, so I'm so shameless!" Big Bear almost bit out these words from between his teeth. Thinking of the injuries he suffered and the more than two hours of waiting last night, He just wanted to torture the little trash in front of him to death.

　The school was obviously not a good place to kill people. A group of gangsters carried Xia Chen out and carried him out. Xia Chen stayed motionless, trembling all over, looking extremely pitiful. Everyone knew that he would not end well if he was taken away.

　Suddenly a voice from the crowd shouted: "Xia Cheng, don't you care if your brother is bullied?"

　Xia Cheng jumped to his feet and got angry: "Who is talking nonsense?! I am an only child! I am the only child in my household registration book. If you don't believe me, go to the household registration office to check!"

　As he said this, he was secretly glad that he had forced his parents to kick this waste out last night, otherwise he would have been humiliated today.

　After today, this waste will disappear from the world, and no one will mention it again. His reputation as a genius will eventually resound throughout the entire federation, and there is no need for a Tiancan brother to add stain to his reputation.

　A twisted and proud smile appeared on Xia Cheng's face. The chaos here attracted two teachers. At Xia Cheng's suggestion, several students immediately blocked the way and entangled the teachers.

　Among the heavily surrounded crowd, Xia Chen was held down by Slender Monkey and others by his hands and feet and pulled out of the school. He struggled hard. Some of the onlookers looked unbearable, but most of them were indifferent or even excited.

　Seeing Xia Chen being dragged for tens of meters, no one could see clearly what was going on. A violent light suddenly erupted from his body. A golden and red gorgeous book appeared suddenly, and a card flashed instantly, with a broken light. Falling on Xia Chen's hand, it turned into streaks of fire, spreading along his arms and instantly climbing to the two people holding his arms.

　Streams of fire spattered like fireworks with Xia Chen as the center, and the sparks filled the Daxiong and other teenagers who were tightly surrounding him. They frantically flapped their burning clothes, and the surrounding students who were also affected panicked and scattered.

　But there were too many people, and they only took two steps. They were crowded and bumped into each other. This one was burned and that one was implicated immediately. Fortunately, the spark was small and the burning area was also small. Only the people closest to Xia Chen were burned. The student with the most flames and quickest reaction has summoned the companion book and wants to use the card.

　Loud explosions were accompanied by screams, and the flames on Big Bear and others exploded. The bursting flames wrapped them into burning men, and they rolled crazily on the ground and howled.

　The young card masters who had not yet left school had never seen such a scene before. They were all frightened and screamed, running away in panic.

　When the two teachers who were blocked outside rushed in against the flow of people, several figures were already flying from the administrative building in the distance. One of them threw out a card, and a light rain fell above everyone.

　Another person's card saved the impact of the water flow, and another summoned ice cubes. Several teachers showed their magic and controlled the situation in an instant

Chapter 256 Extra 3 (10)

Lin Yanyi High School Principal's Office.

　Principal Zhang Songhai, director of political education Wan Siping, secretary of the safety management committee Dong Zhanxian, the director of the third grade of high school, the practical teacher and the teacher of Xia Yi's class all gathered together.

　Zhang Songhai had just come back from outside. His butt was still hot from sitting, and he frowned and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

　Dong Zhan stood up first and said: "The responsibility lies with me."

　The Security Management Committee he is in charge of is responsible for the security of the school. No matter how this matter is ultimately assigned responsibility, he cannot escape his responsibility, so he might as well admit his mistake first.

　Zhang Songhai waved his hand: "Let's talk about the situation first. How are the children?"

　"The kid who suddenly woke up is okay. His mental power is a little shaken. He will be fine after just two days of recovery."

　Wan Siping hesitated for a moment, and then his voice gradually lowered: "Three of the other five children died on the spot, and the other two were barely rescued using the four-star holy light."

　He didn't say that people survived, but the rest of their lives were basically ruined.

　Although the Explosive Flame Card is only a three-star card, it is the most lethal card among the three-star fire cards. Its characteristics are just like its name, explosion.

　Any flame within the range of the explosion card will be contaminated by the power of explosion and explode. How fragile is the human body? The burning was unbearable, let alone the flames exploding on the skin.

　The children were first burned all over by the two-star fireworks, and then were detonated by the explosive flame card. The three closest to Xia Chen were killed directly. Big Bear, who had the best physique, and Slim, who was too skinny to squeeze out of his companions, were all injured. Instead, the monkey was left alive and dying.

　The school urgently used the treatment cards in stock to treat them, but they could only save their lives. Their hands and feet were blown to pieces. The big bear only had half of his right leg left, and the thin monkey lost an arm and a leg.

　In the magical card world, of course there are treatment cards for regenerating severed limbs, but the price of treatment cards is extremely expensive. Not to mention Gao Xing's regeneration of severed limbs, the Holy Light used by the school this time is not something their family can afford. Started.

　If the place where their accident happened was not within the scope of the school and the school was responsible, who would be willing to use that holy light?

　In this situation, the school has done all it can do. Zhang Songhai did not continue to ask questions, but changed the subject and said: "The child who suddenly awakened is called Xia Xiayi, right?"

　As a school principal, he was in charge of so many students. Of course, he could remember Xia Yi because of his fame. In fact, in the decades he had been in office, he had met two students with disabilities, and Xia Yi was one of them.

　"Yes, that's right, it's Xia Yi."

　Xia Yi's class teacher rushed to say: "The second-year genius Xia Cheng's brother is worthy of being a brother. The younger brother is a genius. The older brother has become a blockbuster without a name. When he wakes up, he is an eight-card slot. Eight-card slot, principal, our school Since the founding of the school, we have never seen such a talented child, and the companion cards are all excellent. Our Lin Yan is a high school student and will be famous this time!"

　She couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She never expected that Tiancan, who was thought to be a drag, would suddenly wake up before graduation. From now on, she would also be an excellent teacher who taught gifted students.

　Zhang Songhai's old face twitched and he also smiled a little.

　How can a principal achieve political success? If it was before the end of the world, of course it would be the admission rate to prestigious schools. Now, it would be to produce outstanding and famous card players. It is too difficult for children of this age to achieve anything. The only thing that can be seen is talent.

　"Tell me the specific story later," Zhang Songhai said.

　Wan Siping glanced at Dong Zhanxian, who named a few teachers first, and then said: "When Xiaoma and I realized something was wrong and rushed over, it was already too late and we only had time to save the injured students.

　According to what two teachers Liu Haiying and Xu Nan said, and from questioning the students who were watching, the information we got is that Qian Xiong and others committed violence against classmate Xia Yi and verbally threatened Xia Yi to kill him. Xia Yi was unwilling to leave the school because of fear. Luo Xiaoqi and Dong Zhi forcibly dragged Xia Yi outside the school gate. During the journey, Xia Yi's mood fluctuated greatly. He suddenly woke up, summoned the companion book, and attacked Qian Xiong with the companion card. et al. "

　The smile on Zhang Songhai's face disappeared: "In other words, classmate Xia Yi was forced to awaken during the process of being bullied?"

　Dong Zhan nodded with a dark face and said bluntly: "Principal, you also know what happened to Xia Yi before. It was difficult for Tiancan to get along well with other students, but Qian Xiong and others did go too far. According to the students, they are not the first He committed violence against Xia Yi for the first time. He had bullied Xia Yi many times before and took away the food card that Xia Yi got by chance. It may be the long-term oppression that caused Xia Yi to explode."

　Zhang Songhai sighed. Although the companion card has relatively low mental requirements for its owner, Pu can use two cards in a row as soon as he awakens, one of which is three stars. It can be seen that Xia Yi's own mental talent is not bad, and he can adapt with a little training. After a while, it may be able to break through Samsung.

　Such a gifted child should have given back to his alma mater after becoming famous, but his experience may have made this child have a bad impression of the school.

　"Principal, the parents of Qian Xiong and others have already arrived at the school. They are now clamoring for an explanation and asking Xia Yi to pay for his life. What should we do?"

　Zhang Songhai raised his eyebrows and asked Wan Siping: "Lao Wan, what do you think?"

　Wan Siping was a middle-aged man with short hair and squinting eyes. He chuckled when he heard this, wiped his hair and said: "What can we do? Let them read the holy code carefully. A group of illiterate people who are messing around are definitely not our forest." A graduate of Yanyi High School."

　"You go." Zhang Songhai stood up and handed the matter directly to Wan Siping. In fact, except for Zhang Songhai's decision on major policies and general directions, Wan Siping managed all the school's chores.

　Wan Siping reluctantly called two teachers from the Safety Management Committee to join him. Zhang Songhai called Dong Zhan first: "Let's go and see the genius who awakened at the age of seventeen."

　In the lounge of the administrative building, Xia Chen sat quietly on the bench, holding his gold and red companion book tightly in his arms. His overly long bangs blocked half of his face, making him look a little extra. Very gloomy.

　"Don't worry, they were the ones who bullied you first. Everything will be fine." The school doctor who had just finished the examination comforted him in a low voice, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the companion book in his arms. This is a natural eight card. A companion book for the slot! She had never seen it in her life.

　"Thank you." Xia Chen's voice was slightly hoarse and trembling, as if he was very scared, but his covered face was so calm that there was no trace of fear.

　Of course he knows that nothing will happen to him. The Minor Protection Law protects those beasts in children's skins, but he can punish them within the scope of the law and make them pay the price they deserve.

　In the first year of the new era and the third year of the second disaster, the first child to awaken the companion book used his companion card to eliminate the mutated plants that attacked his parents and relatives.

　Subsequently, children gradually awakened to their own companion books, followed by a large number of children who awakened in a difficult situation, unable to fully grasp the use of their own companion books, and while killing mutated animals and plants, they also harmed the people around them.

　Over the next ten years or so, until the companion book truly became a companion for every newborn, during the period, teenagers suddenly awakened and went into mental riots, leading to endless incidents of cards killing ordinary people.

　In the third year of the new era, the Holy Code was promulgated, making a complete legal statement on the rights, responsibilities and behavioral norms of card players.

　Article 21 stipulates that when a card master has a tendency to awaken, he should consciously find a safe place to awaken. Others should actively avoid it and must not stop or hinder the card master's awakening. Violators must bear legal responsibility.

　During the card master's awakening process, the companion card is out of control due to mental riot, and the resulting casualties are not legally responsible.

　This regulation was to protect the young card artists who were criticized by public opinion at that time. They were the pioneers, and they were the first to bear all the good and bad.

　Later, as the Card Master's awakening gradually became standardized and safe, the Holy Code was revised many times, but Article 21 has never been revised or abolished.

　In recent years, because companion books have appeared earlier and earlier, this type of accidental injury has been almost eliminated due to the weak mental strength of children in infants and young children and it is difficult to drive companion cards, and this regulation has been forgotten by many people.

　But whether anyone remembers it or not, it just exists.

　As the basic law, the Holy Code takes precedence over any other laws and regulations, including the Law on the Protection of Minors.

　Xia Chen extracted useful information from the trivial and useless knowledge fragments in Xia Yi's memory, and planned today's revenge.

　What's wrong with him? He is just a cripple who was bullied by his classmates and was unable to protect himself!

　A classmate who was burned to death or crippled? Didn't they ask for it?

　If they hadn't bullied him, he wouldn't have been stimulated and suddenly awakened, triggering a mental riot and causing the companion cards to go out of control. He was also very aggrieved. He also wasted two fire attack cards.

　"Classmate Xia Yi?" The gentle smile on Zhang Songhai's face told Xia Chen that everything went as he planned. He avenged Xia Yi's innocent death and escaped unscathed.

　He was extremely calm in his heart, but with a timid and nervous expression on his face: "Principal, I, I didn't mean it"

　"Child, don't be afraid, this is not your fault."

　Zhang Songhai slowed down his voice and tried to sound kinder: "I have heard about all the bad things that happened to you. It was because we teachers failed to fulfill our responsibilities. I hope you can forgive the teachers. Mistake. The school will take care of this matter, so you don't have to worry."

　Xia Chen sobbed, like a child who had been wronged and finally found comfort. He said with gratitude: "Thank you, principal, thank you teachers."

　Seeing his demeanor, Zhang Songhai and the teacher who came with him were slightly relieved. They were not afraid of anything else but that this new genius would have a grudge against the school. Fortunately, this child had a soft nature and was able to win over him.

　Zhang Songhai and the teachers said a few words to comfort him, and the head teacher Wang Jie said excitedly: "Why haven't your parents come yet? Were they not notified? How happy they would be if they knew that you are a genius like Xia Cheng. Ah! Hey, the teacher really envies your mother for having such outstanding children as you and Xia Cheng."

　Xia Chen froze, and said in a hoarse voice for a while: "I have no parents anymore. They don't want me. I was abandoned."

Chapter 257 Extra 3 (11)

The classroom of Grade 3 (2) was in chaos, and all the teachers were called away, leaving the class cadres to maintain order. But now the whole class was immersed in the explosive news, and even several class cadres got together to discuss it.

　"Damn it, the eight-card genius, the Xia family is about to take off!"

　"What's wrong? Xia Cheng, who was in the second year of high school, was so proud of his seven card slots. This time his brother is even more awesome, with eight! I'm a two-star card master, and I don't even have eight card slots in total. God, it's so awesome It's unfair enough."

　"That's not what he said. When he was crippled, he was bullied less often?"

　"If I could be bullied and have eight card slots, I would be willing to do so! Let's take a look at his companion book when Xia Yi comes back. I have never seen a companion book with eight card slots. I heard from people who were there at the time. , is a big gold and red book, very beautiful and very domineering. It's a pity that such an awesome talent was given to a waste."

　"I think you are pretty despite your ugly appearance. If you were Xia Yi, would you be willing to lend companion books to such a group of classmates?"

　"What do you mean? We have never bullied him."

　"Calling him a waste is not bullying him? Giving him the dirtiest work during the school day is not bullying him? Making him carry the equipment for the practical class alone is not bullying him? Isn't the whole class isolating him bullying him?" 

　But although his family is somewhat powerful, it is not powerful enough to get him admission places at the universities he wants to go to. 　

Of course he could afford college tuition, but he didn't want to go to those low-ranking schools. He wanted to rush forward. 

　Li Yao's family background is not as good as that of the Wu family, but he is still considered a prominent figure in this city. There are other branches of the family that are also well-established in other cities. 　

As far as he knew, some schools he was interested in had already contacted the second-year Xia Cheng. 

　But Xia Yi was different. With eight card slots, even Central City would be willing to recruit him, as long as he could become a two-star card master before graduation. 

　Under such conditions, he would only dare to apply for some relatively low-ranking universities, and he might have to pay high tuition fees. 　For example, he himself has a talent of five card slots and barely passed the line. He is currently a two-star card master and is still some way away from being promoted to a three-star card master. 　

Under normal circumstances, talents with four card slots or more are the most basic requirements. Depending on the level of talents, the standards for the card masters themselves will be appropriately lowered. 

　However, not everyone can go to university. The reality is that there is currently no unified college entrance examination, only admissions examinations organized independently by each university. Such examinations often have rigid requirements for students' conditions. 　

University teachers will not be constrained by the minor protection law. All universities, even theoretical colleges, have a lot of practical classes every year, and teachers lead students to explore various dangerous places. 　

Other school teachers are also very powerful card masters. They will systematically teach students how to develop talent matching decks and teach students how to fight. 

　Therefore, the best way is to enter a prestigious university. These universities are often only found in large cities. The card academy in the central city is particularly famous. The principal is even a seven-star card master. 

　He is lucky enough to meet a good team, but the possibility of this is too small. He only has one life. What he wants is to become an excellent card player, not to be overheated and unable to see his own ability. 

　Not to mention whether there is anyone willing to take care of a rookie like him. Even if there is, when danger comes, he, the laggard, will probably be the first to be abandoned. 　

Li Yao, who is more mature than his peers, has already planned his future. He is young and inexperienced, so forming or joining an exploration team rashly is not a good option. 

　Over the years, he has been working hard to improve and train himself, but in a small city like theirs, even in the best high school, the practical classes only face some captive one- and two-star mutant beasts that have almost lost their wildness and aggression. 　

He wants to fight, fight like a real card master. 

　Li Yao would never forget such a shocking battle in his life. He did not want to be mediocre like his classmates. He did not want to use a useless auxiliary companion card one day when he faced difficulties. 

　Those card masters who fought bravely had different colors of light jumping between their fingers. The cards turned into light so fast that it was difficult to react. 　But Li Yao could not forget the scene he saw a few years ago. The boundless tide of beasts and surging mutant plants instantly submerged a city that was several times more prosperous than Linyan City. 　

And this so-called stable life is actually just false prosperity on the volcano. There is only a low-level beast forest around Linyan City. The residents of Linyan City huddle in the small city and would rather cover their eyes and cover themselves. ears, when all dangers outside did not exist. 　

Most of the people here will do the most mechanical and boring jobs, repeatedly using their most valuable companion card every day. After using it, they will only use this one card, and there is no hope of rising to the stars in their lifetime. Such people even He doesn't deserve to be called a card master at all. 

　Once these students in the ivory tower leave school, they will immediately find that their world is in pieces and that all the bright futures they imagined are illusions. 　

He has always felt that the so-called minor protection law is ridiculous. It is clear that this is a world where humans struggle to survive, but they are protected so tightly. 　

But he doesn't feel that he is wrong. In this world, weakness is the original sin. 　

To be precise, no one in the entire class was qualified to say that, including the head teacher and most of the teachers who knew Xia Yi's situation but looked on coldly. 

　Xia Yi was forced to do their dirty work for three years. He was also a vested interest, otherwise it would have been his turn two or three times. Although he was not the one who forced Xia Yi, he enjoyed the benefits. He was too embarrassed to say that he had never bullied Xia Yi. 　

He did bully Xia Yi. Although he never scolded him in person, he looked down on Xia Yi and never concealed his attitude. 

　Li Yao sneered, stood up and looked condescendingly at the group of stupid and vicious so-called classmates in front of him who still didn't understand the situation: "It's my business to hug you or not. I know what I have done. I bullied him." , I don't deny it, at least I won't shamelessly say some high-sounding words to embarrass myself." 　

Fan Xin, the deputy squad leader, was the most severely criticized just now. He was also ridiculed for being ugly. He was so angry that his face was distorted. He mocked: "Xia Yi didn't say anything himself. You should pick up the injustice first. Don't look at it." When people get rich, they rush to hug their thighs, but you are too anxious. The rightful owner is not here, and your work is in vain." 

　"That's right."

　The young people sitting around were all flushed by these sharp words. The school committee member said with red eyes and dissatisfaction: "Li Yao, can you speak? You have to go against us, right? He is a big boy, he should clean up more." , are we bullying him? We are too petty!"

　Besides the school's independent recruitment, the only way for him to be specially recruited is to achieve excellent results in the Federal Youth Card Competition and be selected for special recruitment by those universities.

　The Youth Competition is held every two years and is jointly organized by the Central City District and major cities such as Junnan and Haiyuan. The contestants are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty. It is a very famous official event.

　However, nothing happened to Lin Yancheng in these years. The last time Lin Yancheng organized students to participate was eight years ago, and they were eliminated in the preliminary round.

　Li Yao is very self-aware of the Youth Competition's single and team competitions. His talent is average and his card reserve is average. He wins with a pretty good deck and his combat skills are better than those of his peers, but he is not as good as those big players. The city's evil genius has basically no hope in the solo competition.

　What he was thinking about was the team competition. The team competition is all about coordination. If the team members' decks are matched well enough, it is very likely that there will be a flip. Over the years, the youth competition team competition has been the most likely to be a dark horse.

　The requirement for the team competition is three to five people, but there is almost no team that does not have enough people. Li Yao's family has already been selecting teammates for him.

　But Lin Yancheng was too young, and there were not many talented peers. The young master of the Wu family happened to be about the same age as him, and his talent was much better than him.

　Although Wu Mingyang is still old enough to wait for the next competition, it would be good to participate in this kind of competition one more time, even if he has more experience.

　The Wu family and the Li family are recruiting talented young people at the same time. The more famous Wu family obviously has the advantage, not to mention the genius Xia Cheng has also invested in Wu Mingyang.

　But now, his chance has finally come. With Xia Cheng's reputation as a martial artist, he can recruit Xia Yi, who is more talented.

　As for brotherhood?

　Li Yao leaned against the bed and looked at the young man running out of the school quickly with a sneer on his lips.

　......

　Xia Chen had just arrived at the shelter for one day and was about to move out.

　There was no expression on his face, he was still silent and timid, and he had not yet recovered from his sadness. On the contrary, his roommates who only lived for one day looked at him with envy and jealousy.

　Principal Zhang Songhai personally came to take Xia Chen through the formalities and move. After he finished handing over to the shelter staff, he turned around and saw Xia Chen standing at the door with empty hands.

　"Where's your luggage? Let's take it and leave." The school arranged a separate residence for Xia Chen in the faculty and staff dormitory building.

　"There is no luggage." Xia Chen muttered.

　Zhang Songhai was startled, and the staff at the shelter rushed to say: "The child was brought in late last night. He was hungry and didn't even have a change of clothes. It was thanks to our kindness that we, Xiao Feng, gave him a full-fruit steamed bun. ."

　Xia Chen nodded immediately and thanked the kind person who comforted him: "Yes, thank you Aunt Feng."

　Ms. Feng waved her hands in embarrassment: "I didn't do anything." She just saw how pitiful the child was, so she gave him a fruit bun. Who would have thought that the child who was in extreme poverty yesterday would become prosperous in one day.

　Zhang Songhai thanked Xia Chen as a teacher, and his dissatisfaction with the Xia family and his wife became more and more intense. When they heard that Xia Yi was abandoned, they not only sympathized with Xia Chen but also sympathized with the Xia family and his wife.

　After all, Xia Yi has been a waste for seventeen years. Even if he waits for one more day, he will not lose a talented son with a bright future. Just thinking about it makes him feel sorry for the Xia family and his wife.

　You must know that according to federal law, an abandoned child under minor is basically equivalent to severing ties with his parents and relatives. Unless he is willing, neither the law nor social justice is qualified to require an abandoned child to support his parents.

　But now, he doesn't sympathize with that couple at all. Maybe Xia Yi only awakened his talent after leaving that home.

　Zhang Songhai didn't know that he had accidentally revealed the truth. Xia Chen didn't want the Xia family to take advantage of him at all, so he would definitely leave the Xia family first and then let Xia Yi's light shine out.

　The dormitory arranged by the school for Xia Chen was originally for single teachers. It was not large in area, but although it was small, it was well-equipped with bathrooms and kitchens. The surrounding environment was also very good, and the safety was much better than that of a shelter.

　Xia Chen was very satisfied and thanked Zhang Songhai with a very grateful face. He looked excited and willing to bring glory to the school through life and death, which made Zhang Songhai smile all over his face.

　He has a lot of secrets. Dormitories with multiple people like shelters are not suitable for him. The school can provide him with help, and he doesn't mind repaying some in return.

　After Zhang Songhai left, Xia Chen tidied up the house and put away new bedding, clothes and daily necessities. Zhang Songhai took him to buy these.

　Although Zhang Songhai's kindness to him is utilitarian, Xia Chen is not an innocent child. No one is born to be kind to him. If you receive benefits from others, you must remember to return them.

　Because the school doctor judged that his "sudden awakening caused mental turmoil" and needed recuperation, the school granted him a few days' leave.

　After Xia Chen cleaned up the house, he used a detection card to make sure there were no monitoring cards in the house - these were low-star special cards that were easy to detect. As for the higher-star cards, Xia Chen felt that he still had It's not important to that extent.

　After taking the most enjoyable hot bath since time travel, Xia Chen could only use cold water before at Xia's house. Xia Chen happily summoned today's food card.

　I want a piece of rice. He hasn't eaten rice for a long time.

　With good luck, it was a two-pound rice card. Xia Chen estimated his appetite and found out how many meals he could eat if he saved a little.

　When Zhang Songhai bought something for him, he specially bought some food, including the most common steamed buns with full fruits, and a kind of dried potato that people here like more. It is not as soft and sweet as dried sweet potato, and has a hard texture, but it has a slight sweet taste. .

　There is also a little bit of meat, only about a pound.

　Now that rice and meat have come, Xia Chen thought about it and prayed for a potato and a watermelon.

　The potatoes were used for cooking, and the watermelon was eaten by himself. All his fruit cards were used as bets and exchanged for money and cards, and he was already very hungry.

　Because the number of fruits given by the fruit card was uncertain, Xia Chen simply asked for a big one. Even if he only gave one watermelon, it was still bigger than two apples.

　I was given three potatoes, all of which were quite big. As expected, there was only one watermelon, but it was really big. Xia Chen couldn't help but cut it into pieces and ate a few pieces first.

　The moist melon flesh is sweet and delicious. The middle of the watermelon is sandy and particularly sweet. The outer flesh is not so sweet, but more crisp and tender.

　Xia Chen, who doesn't consider himself a foodie, doesn't like the fruits he's eaten too much after eating brown sugar steamed buns and fruit-filled steamed buns for so long.

　After the meal, the fruit was eaten in advance, but Xia Chen lived alone and was not so particular. He took a piece of melon in his mouth and went to steam the rice.

　The kitchen utensils are not that complete, but there are basic spatulas. What is used here is not gas, but the energy converted by mutant nuclei. Through the energy converter on the stove, you can ignite the fire and cook. One star and one mutant nucleus can Can be used for a long time.

　Xia Chen did some research and felt that this was quite convenient and environmentally friendly, but there was only one stove and no rice cooker. He steamed the rice directly in a pot and had to wait until the rice was ready before cooking.

　When the rice was cooked, he peeled and shredded the potatoes, cut a third of the meat bought by the principal into shreds, and prepared to fry some shredded potatoes and pork later.

　The seasonings were definitely not complete. Xia Chen only found salt. Fortunately, the meat the principal bought was fat and could produce some oil.

　Putting the steamed rice in a bowl, Xia Chen thought about it while cooking. It looked like he would have to pray for oil next time. I wonder if there was any. If not, wouldn't he be asked to pray for oil to be extracted from the rapeseed?

　A pot of rice, a simple plate of stir-fried shredded pork with potatoes, and a bowl of cut watermelon, it is an extremely simple but hearty meal.

　Xia Chen was so moved that his eyes filled with tears as he took one mouthful of rice and another. This is what people should eat! Sure enough, food is the easiest thing to make people feel happy.

　After a hearty meal, Xia Chen leaned back comfortably on his chair, eating crispy rice and watermelon, thinking about his next plan, how to become famous.

　He wanted to find Zijian, but he didn't know where he was. The best way was to make himself famous. He was not a public person, but he knew that if Zijian woke up, he would also be looking for him. The more famous he is, the easier it is for Zi Jian to know his information.

　But how to become famous is a problem.

　Xia Chen closed his eyes and recalled, and finally dug out a useful piece of news from Xia Yi's memory.

　A youth card competition? Xia Chen summoned the golden and red companion book and touched the cover. Maybe this was an opportunity, but if he wanted to participate, he had to get himself promoted to a three-star card master early.

　Just when Xia Chen was eating and drinking to find reasons for his promotion to the star, the Xia family was in an earth-shaking scene.

　Xia Cheng skipped class and ran home. He couldn't accept all this. How could it be possible? How could Xia Yi be a genius? He is the only genius in the Xia family!

　His useless classmates actually dared to point fingers at him. What qualifications did they have to criticize him? He is a genius with seven card slots, and those losers are not even worthy of carrying his shoes!

　What made him most angry was Wu Mingyang. When he recruited him, he had all good words and promised so many benefits, but then he turned around and asked him to help recruit Xia Yi? !

　Xia Yi, that damn good-for-nothing, is he worthy? !

　In front of his classmates and teachers, Xia Cheng couldn't help but have his face distorted so as not to go crazy on the spot, but as soon as he got home, he couldn't hold it in any longer.

　He rushed to the balcony where Xia Yi lived and vented wantonly in that small space of less than three square meters. He dug out all Xia Yi's things, put them on the ground and stepped on them, burning his clothes and bedding, as if he could get revenge in this way. Same as Xia Yi.

　Xia An and Jin Qili got the news and rushed back. They didn't care about the messy home. After entering the house, they hurriedly grabbed Xia Cheng and asked: "Are they true? Xia Yi has really awakened? Bansheng Shuba Card slot?"

　When they heard the news, they thought others were joking and deliberately mocking them. After more than one person said this, they ran back in disbelief.

　Xia Cheng's eyes turned red with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, that loser has awakened"

　His teeth were almost broken, and he was unwilling to mention the eight-card slot. This made him feel extremely humiliated. He was worse than a waste? Impossible, he, Xia Cheng, is the real genius!

Chapter 258 Extra 3 (12)

Jin Qili was so happy that she almost fainted.

　What a genius with eight card slots! Her youngest son was already promising enough, but she didn't expect that Xia Yi, that little loser, would one day turn around. She had not raised him in vain.

　"Let's go and pick up your brother. From now on, our family will be prosperous!" Jin Qili smiled so much that she showed two rows of gums, urging her husband to leave quickly.

　Xia An's face was also full of joy. After hearing this, he turned around and wanted to go out. He put his hand on the door handle. Thinking of what happened before, he turned to Xia Cheng and said, "When your brother comes back, don't bully him again. From now on, you guys The two brothers should get along well."

　Xia Cheng was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He had just woken up when his parents forced him to bow his head to Xia Yi. If Xia Yi came back, would he still have his place in this family? !

　"You must be mentally ill!"

　Xia Cheng cursed angrily: "You have all abandoned him, and you still expect him to be able to support you when he becomes rich? Let me tell you, three of the people who bullied him today were burned alive. Do you think he is such a ruthless person? Will he let you go?"

　Xia An and Jin Qili stood there blankly, looking at each other. After a long while, Jin Qili said: "No, we are his biological parents. We have raised him until he is seventeen. How can he deny his parents?"

　Xia Cheng sneered: "Raise him? Xia Yi is a waste and not a fool. How come you don't care about him? And you have already sent him to a shelter. His name is not on our household registration." ."

　Xia An and Jin Qili's faces turned red and white. They were both hit hard by this fact. When they thought that Xia Yi's reputation and achievements would have nothing to do with them in the future, Jin Qili felt heartache.

　She thought about it over and over, but felt unwilling to do so: "No, I have to find him. I have raised him for seventeen years anyway. If he becomes a white-eyed wolf, I will publicize it for him."

　"Don't go!" Xia An called her with a dark face.

　"Old Xia! What's the matter with you? You want to recognize that white-eyed wolf, but the white-eyed wolf won't recognize you!"

　Xia An bowed his head and said: "Don't you remember what happened to the old Ji family?"

　Jin Qili was startled, and then realized what he was talking about.

　Lao Ji was from the community next door to theirs, and he and Xia An were classmates in elementary school. Later, they lived close to each other, and the two families got in touch again, and they often moved around frequently.

　Lao Ji's family has many children, six, and their family conditions are average. The burden of raising so many children is too great. When the third child in their family reaches the age of fourteen, he becomes seriously ill and it costs a lot of money to treat. They are reluctant to spend that money, so they just Abandoned the child.

　Although a fine was paid, it was much lower than the treatment fee. However, if a seriously ill child is thrown into a shelter, there is basically no way to survive. There can be help with minor illnesses, which costs a lot of money. Even if you are ill, the government will not help pay for it.

　Unexpectedly, Ji San was very lucky. Not only did he not die, but he also saved the only daughter of a wealthy family named Yu by chance. That family had only one daughter, with low talent and weak temperament.

　After the Yu family asked Ji San for his opinion, they adopted him, cured him of his illness, and named him an adopted son. In fact, he was the child adopter of their own daughter. When the two children reached adulthood, they were allowed to get married.

　Ji San's own card talent is pretty good for ordinary people, with five card slots. In the past, his family's conditions were not good, and even his companion card was sold by his parents for money.

　After the Yu family adopted him, they did not suppress him because they wanted him to stay in the Yu family to take care of their daughter. Instead, they took the initiative to help him plan a deck and bought some suitable cards.

　Ji Sangan held it in his heart and wholeheartedly respected the Yu family husband and wife as his elders. He loved his adopted sister and future wife, Miss Yu family, very much.

　Sincerity for sincerity, the Yu family treats Ji San better and better, and Ji San also looks towards the Yu family with all his heart.

　However, Ji San's parents saw that he was living a good life and thought they could take advantage of him. They approached Ji San to ask for benefits and asked him to dig into the Yu family's money to support the Ji family.

　Ji San flatly refused and said some harsh words, roughly saying that since he was abandoned, he was no longer a child of the Ji family, and his only relatives were the Yu family and so on.

　Like Xia An and Jin Qili, the Ji family felt that Ji San was a white-eyed wolf. If he made a big fuss, the two eldest sons of the Ji family would beat him up.

　As a result, Ji San directly called the police. According to the law, he really had nothing to do with the Ji family. The Ji family asked him for money, which was suspected of extortion. Ji Daji Er wanted to beat him, and was suspected of intentional injury.

　Later, it turned out that because the children of the Ji family were still young, Ji San let them go and did not really let them go to jail. However, they were detained for several days and fined.

　The Ji family can be said to have stolen the chicken but lost the rice. From now on, they no longer dare to provoke Ji San.

　Recalling what happened to the Ji family, Jin Qili shuddered, shrank her neck and dared not say anything to find Xia Chen.

　In today's world, being detained does not mean locking someone up and not allowing them to move while giving them food. It's a beautiful thought! Everyone has to work, and it is still the hardest and most tiring job. If you don't work or if you don't work well, you won't get food. There are people rushing to clean the toilet.

　Jin Qili doesn't want to live like that. It's too embarrassing, not even for a day.

　Afraid, thinking that she had raised a Tiancan for seventeen years in vain, and that he would not be able to enjoy any benefits when he became prosperous, Jin Qili felt that she was at a loss.

　"Then let's just forget it?"

　Xia An sighed and said: "Otherwise, what can we do? Tell me, you have raised me for seventeen years, why can't you bear it anymore?"

　Jin Qili glanced at Xia Cheng, who snorted coldly: "Are you sorry? Do you think it's my fault? Then go pick him up and drive me out! Go!"

　Jin Qili laughed twice and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be angry, Bao'er. Xia Yi, that loser, has no future even if he wakes up. Mom just feels that she is at a loss, otherwise I can give you his companion card."

　Hearing what she said, Xia Cheng's face softened a little, and he felt regretful again when he thought of Xia Yi's companion card.

　Explosion is a one-time card, but Fireworks and Ring of Resistance are not. These two cards, especially Ring of Resistance, are very expensive. He only has one Fireworks card. If Xia Yi had not been kicked out yesterday, those two cards The card is his.

　"Yes, he didn't wake up until he was seventeen, so there's no telling what he will be like in the future."

　Xia An didn't know whether he was comforting his wife and children, or himself, or both: "Our Xiao Cheng has been promoted twice, and has three more card slots. Xia Yi is not as talented, and he will definitely not be able to compare with our Xiao Cheng." 　However, no matter how they looked at it, it would not affect Xia Chen and make the Xia family regret and heartache. Xia Cheng was jealous and crazy, which was considered a small revenge for Xia Yi.

　Jin Qili and Xia Cheng both felt that what he said was very reasonable. Xia Yi's image of a waste was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though they knew that he had now shown a better talent than Xia Cheng, the Xia family still felt that he was no match for Xia Cheng.

　After all, they are Xia Yi's flesh and blood relatives, and they cannot take revenge like they did to Daxiong and others. Even if Xia Chen doesn't care, Xia Yi may not be able to be ruthless.

　In this way, the two have nothing to do with each other. They watch Xia Chen go further and further from a distance. The better Xia Chen's life is, the more regretful and sad they will be. This is the best revenge.

　Xia Chen rested for a while after eating. He didn't sleep all night last night and couldn't sleep well at Xia's house. He hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

　In the evening, Miri added a little more water, cut shredded meat and cooked lean meat porridge for dinner. After eating, he continued to practice his mental strength.

　The next day, Xia Chen went out and found a safe place to dress up as Zi Jian, and went to find Wu Yun at the agreed place.

　Since he planned to participate in the youth competition, he couldn't form a team with Wu Yun. He was invited kindly at the beginning. Since he couldn't go, he had to tell people so as not to make people wait in vain.

　After Wu Yun heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but he did not force it. He just smiled and said: "If you don't come to me, I will come to you. We bought a common medical card. My teammate's injury has been cured. We are already planning to leave early."

　"I wish you all a safe journey." Xia Chen liked his free and easy personality very much and said with a smile: "I hope we have the opportunity to see you again in the future."

　"Of course, I also wish you success in your travels." Wu Yun also admires Xia Chen. Although he cannot be a teammate, he will still be a friend when we meet again in the future.

　After saying goodbye to Wu Yun, Xia Chen disposed of all the food cards he had accumulated and gave them to the boss of the gambling arena. On the pretext of leaving Linyan City to travel to other cities, Xia Chen exchanged some other practical cards for them.

　Xia Yi is currently in the spotlight and is no longer as transparent as before, so Wen Zijian's identity will be hidden for a while.

　The boss had been dealing with him for a while. Although he still didn't know which family he belonged to, it didn't stop him from making good friends with Xia Chen and quoted him a very favorable price.

　Xia Chen thanked and said goodbye to his boss, then dressed up as Xia Yi again and went to buy some changes of underwear and other things to take back to cover for today's trip.

　When I walked to the door of my house, I realized that there were two people standing outside my house. One was Teacher Feng, the practical teacher who lived next door, and the other was a young man about his age. His hair was shaved very short, his eyebrows were unruly, and he looked a bit... Fierce, but also a bit familiar.

　Xia Chen thought about it for a moment and then remembered that this was Xia Yi's classmate and the head of the practical class, Li Yao.

　As soon as Teacher Feng saw Xia Chen, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where have you been? Your mental energy is in turmoil and you need to rest. Don't run around these days."

　Xia Chen knew that it was Zhang Songhai who asked him to look at him. He raised the bag in his hand and explained in a low voice: "Teacher, I went shopping for clothes."

　The card master's eyesight is not bad. Teacher Feng saw the vest inside through the gap in the bag and immediately understood what kind of clothes he went to buy. So he softened his expression and said: "It's the teacher who is too anxious. You are at a critical moment now." , if you have anything to go to, come and tell me first, so the teacher can rest assured, right?"

　Xia Chen nodded, and Teacher Feng added: "This classmate Li said that he has something to do with you. Look, are you free now? If not, you should go back first, and we can talk about other things after you recover from your injuries. "

　Li Yao heard the mention of himself and took the initiative to step forward: "Hello Xia Yi, I am Li Yao. I have something to talk to you about. I hope you can give me a chance."

　Xia Chen glanced at him and began to recall information about this classmate Li. However, Xia Yi didn't have much contact with his classmates. He only knew that Li Yao came from a very good family and was one of the few classmates who had "never bullied" Xia Yi. one.

　Although he did not communicate with Xia Yi and looked down on Xia Yi, compared to others, Xia Yi had a good impression of Li Yao in his memory.

　Because of this, Xia Chen nodded, opened the door and let Li Yao in.

　Teacher Feng warned worriedly: "If you have any questions, come to me, I'm next door."

Chapter 259 Extra 3 (13)

"I'm sorry." As soon as Li Yao entered the door, he bowed to Xia Chen and apologized.

　Xia Chen was startled by his sudden action, and then he was a little funny and strange: "Why did you come to apologize to me?"

　To be honest, in Xia Yi's more than ten years of life, there have been many people who bullied him and had to apologize to him. Li Yao is definitely not among them. Even with Xia Yi's memory, Li Yao is considered a very good person. classmate.

　Li Yao's face was calm, and his words were very straightforward: "Because I want to ask for it from you."

　Xia Chen thought for a moment and suddenly understood: "For the youth competition?"

　If this is the case, it makes sense. Originally, Qing Zhi had nothing to do with Xia Yi, so he couldn't help but have a genius younger brother.

　When Xia Cheng was a freshman in high school, in order to recruit him, both the Wu family and the Li family sent people to visit the Xia family and gave them gifts. The three members of the Xia family were very proud of this, and this was something they had been showing off for a long time.

　It was through Xia Cheng's constant showing off that Xia Yi understood what kind of competition the Qing Jing was, how important it was, and how famous it was.

　Li Yao looked at Xia Chen in surprise. He felt that he had misjudged this classmate. In the past, he only thought that Xia Yi was incompetent and weak. With such a character, even if he became successful, he would not be able to become strong in his heart.

　He came to him to join his team, and he was quite confident. After all, there were only two teams in Lin Yan High School, namely him and Wu Mingyang.

　Based on the relationship between Xia Yi and Xia Cheng, as well as Xia Cheng's past style, everyone knows what will happen to Xia Yi when he joins Wu Mingyang's team.

　He analyzed the pros and cons for him. As long as Xia Yi's IQ was good, he would know who to choose.

　The reason for coming in to apologize was not just to please Xia Chen, but because he felt that Xia Yi was worthy of his eyes and that he should give an explanation for his past behavior.

　But unexpectedly, Xia Chen guessed the purpose of his trip from just two unspoken words, forcing him to re-examine this classmate whom he had never cared about before.

　His mind changed rapidly, but in a moment, Li Yao had already treated Xia Chen with more respect: "Yes, I would like to invite you to join my team."

　He didn't rush to say what he had thought of before. The young man in front of him obviously had his own plans. He said too much, which made him appear to be unsteady and lacking in confidence.

　"Sit down." Xia Chen smiled and did not rush to reply to Li Yao's words.

　After the two sat down, Xia Chen said calmly: "Let's talk about the team's situation first."

　He had been the city lord for decades. He had deliberately disguised himself before and had no intention of acting in front of Li Yao at this moment. His aura was unconsciously revealed. Although his tone was not harsh when he spoke, it still had the understatement of a superior giving orders.

　Li Yao followed him unconsciously and immediately handed him the folder containing the team's information. Originally, this kind of news should have been told to him after Xia Chen agreed to join.

　Xia Chen opened the folder. Inside was the personal information of several teenagers, including name, age, card master level, number of talent card slots, number of existing card slots and personal card group positioning, specific card number and card number The name is not written.

　Among them, there are three talents with five card slots, namely Li Yao, Ji He, and Wang Minmin.

　The six people in the folder are all two-star card masters. The companion books have been upgraded twice, but the current number of card slots among these three people is different.

　Li Yao has seven card slots. Either he added a card slot every time he upgraded his star, or once he added none, and another time he added two.

　Ji He has better luck than Li Yao. He now has eight card slots. Apparently he added one after an upgrade, and two more at another time. He has not failed even once.

　Wang Minmin's luck was a bit bad. There were only six card slots, which meant that she ran into a situation where she didn't add any card slots.

　Li Yao is an agility melee fighter. According to Xia Chen's understanding, the cards in this deck pursue movement speed and attack speed. High-frequency attacks bring high damage, which places high demands on personal physical fitness and combat skills.

　Ji He is a shield warrior. This kind of deck is relatively rare. When many teams lack defensive strength, they would rather find a local spell at a high price than choose shield combat.

　Because the shield battle deck strengthens the card master's own defensive power. They are used to using large shields and swords to block the front line. But once the shield battle can no longer hold up, the entire defense line will be broken, and there will be no repairs. There are no measures.

　And no one knows whether they will be timid when facing the greatest danger in a shield fight. There have been many shield fights in the past that turned around and ran away because they were too frightened and could not bear the pain. This also dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of shield fights. It was once so rare that Not even as many as those rare decks.

　Xia Chen took a few more glances at Ji He's information. The name seemed familiar. Xia Yi must have heard it occasionally, but the specific person and where he heard it were unclear.

　However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Based on Li Yao's view of the competition, if Ji He was an unreliable person, he would definitely not be recruited by him.

　Wang Minmin's deck is a bit lackluster. She is an auxiliary, and there are many types of auxiliaries, such as those that control, those that add status to teammates, those that add negative status to the enemy, those that relieve control, those that heal, etc.

　Wang Minmin is purely an auxiliary that adds status to her teammates. But as far as Xia Chen knows, with auxiliary cards below three stars and Wang Minmin's two-star card master level, she can at most make her teammates run a little faster and have a little more power. The effect is minimal, and it is definitely not as effective as Xia Chen's big mushroom.

　The remaining three card masters with four-star talent slots are Yu Hu, Yu Bao, and Chen Fei.

　Among them, Yu Hu and Yu Bao are twin brothers. Both of them now have six card slots and can fight in close combat.

　However, their melee combat is different from Li Yao's. What they mainly increase is their strength. The five-star violent force that Xia Chen once saw in the card store is very suitable for their kind of combat.

　The last one, Chen Fei, is also an auxiliary. She has the smallest number of card slots among the six, with only four card slots. This means that he has upgraded two levels without adding a single card slot. He is really unlucky.

　However, to be selected by Li Yao to join the team, this person must be outstanding. Xia Chen was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

　"Six people?" Xia Chen put the folder on the table and asked with raised eyebrows.

　Li Yao felt a little unnatural. He regretted it as soon as he handed over the folder. Xia Chen didn't express any attitude, so he obediently handed over his team's information.

　But after giving it away, it would be even more embarrassing to come back. Li Yao's voice was a little dull: "Yes, I will pick two substitutes when the time comes."

　Xia Chen also guessed this. Wang Minmin and Chen Fei had the same position, so there must be only one of them.

　The same goes for brothers Yu Hu and Bao, and this team has an obvious shortcoming, the lack of magic. Once the opponent's support has cards that increase physical defense, the team will be restrained.

　No wonder Li Yao came to him. In low-star card master battles, it may take a long time for a warrior to defeat the enemy, but as long as he is hit by magic attacks, especially those with violent output such as fire and thunder, there is no problem in taking them away in one wave. .

　Xia Chen touched his chin and thought for a while, then leaned back in his chair and said, "Take me to meet my teammates sometime."

　"Okay, you agree?" Li Yao's eyes widened in surprise. He had so many words of persuasion, but he didn't have time to say a word.

　Xia Chen said amusedly: "Shouldn't I agree?"

　Li Yao hurriedly shook his head and asked: "Don't you even ask about the treatment?"

　There will be casualties in the youth competition, and there are many casualties in each session. Among the teammates, except for him and Ji He, his family spent money to recruit them. Not only the salary, but also the cards they need are Li The family pays for it.

　Xia Chen refused without hesitation: "No, obligations and rights are equal. If I form a team with you, it's just a team."

　Li Yao looked at him carefully for a moment and smiled: "You and I think very differently."

　Xia Chen's guess was correct. If his family provided money and cards, then these teammates would sign a contract with his family, and all the profits from the youth competition would belong to their Li family.

　After reaching a certain ranking in the youth competition, there will be card rewards, which are all very good cards. Especially in the finals, the top three will even receive very rare and rare cards. According to the agreement, these rewards belong to them.

　After Xia Chen got rid of Xia Yi's embarrassing native family and showed some of his abilities, he began to slowly change his image in front of everyone. He couldn't always act and imitate Xia Yi's character, that was not his nature.

　Being abandoned by your family, being bullied by your classmates, and turning into a genius with the accompanying book is a perfect excuse. People who have been greatly stimulated will always undergo some changes, right?

　So when he faced Li Yao's doubts at this time, he just replied calmly: "We didn't know each other before, and people always change."

　Li Yao didn't ask any more questions. For him, Xia Chen's current personality made him more happy. He didn't have to worry about him being too weak and being coaxed back by the Xia family.

　The two agreed on a time to meet, and Li Yao said goodbye and left. Xia Chen saw him off and looked through the folders left by Li Yao for a while.

　As for why he agreed to join Li Yao's team, just as Li Yao himself thought, Lin Yan Yigao only had two teams, either join him or join Wu Mingyang's team and meet Xia Cheng every day.

　And why didn't he sign up for the singles competition? Of course he had to sign up for the singles competition. The youth competition does not prohibit participating in both at the same time.

　However, Xia Chen is not familiar with this world and the various rules of Qingjing at all. The meager knowledge in Xia Yi's memory is completely insufficient. If he follows Li Yao, the Li family will take care of everything except participating in the competition. good.

　In Fuyun City, in the small villa he just bought, Wen Shu was also listening to people talk about the youth competition.

　"The Youth Competition is a grand event for the entire federation, bringing together talented young people from various cities. If you want to find geniuses, it is most convenient to watch the Youth Competition."

　Wen Shu's face turned ugly: "I'm looking for a baby under half a year old. In this competition, whose child cries loudest?"

　Duan Tianlang choked: "Are you looking for a baby?"

　Wen Shu sneered: "When did I say that I was looking for a young man?"

　Duan Tianlang is about to cry but has no tears. You didn't say you were looking for a baby, you just said you were looking for a genius. The more talented the better, then let's just think about those famous geniuses.

　Wu Duo glanced at the captain who was being trained so hard that he didn't even dare to raise his head, and took the initiative to help him out: "Sir, although there is no one you are looking for in the youth competition, there is a lot of turnover in this kind of large-scale competition, and there are all kinds of things. Messages are gathered to make it easier for you to find people."

　Wen Shu nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense."

Chapter 260 Extra 3 (14)

In the spacious training ground, five teenagers stood in a one-two-two formation, with books floating around them, ready to face the beast lying not far away.

　It was an animal that looked like a wolf but was twice as big as a wolf. Its fur was a layer of cyan, and a pair of wolf eyes flashed with a sinister and ferocious light. Its limbs were charging up, just waiting for an opportunity to kill the teenagers on the opposite side. Tear into pieces.

　Almost at the same time, both sides of the confrontation took action at the same time.

　This is a two-star wind wolf. Although it has not evolved any real wind powers, its speed is far faster than that of ordinary beasts.

　It kicked out its hind limbs and swooped towards Li Yao, who was standing diagonally to the right. At this moment, Ji He, who was holding a large shield, blocked Li Yao at a speed that did not match his body shape, and his wolf claws hit the shield hard. on, pulling out a harsh sound.

　"Speed!" Li Yao shouted, and Wang Minmin, who was standing at the end, hurriedly threw a two-star speed card at Li Yao. Li Yao was a little faster, stepped diagonally, and slashed at Feng Lang's neck with his slender blade. go.

　But it was still a little slow, and Feng Lang dodged the fatal blow. Li Yao's long knife only made a small wound on its back. With the mutant beast's physique, it would not even affect its subsequent battle.

　Li Yao frowned, Feng Lang had already changed direction and attacked Yu Hu who was running towards him.

　Yu Hu was using a heavy sword. He immediately stopped and raised his sword to block Feng Lang's sharp attack. Li Yao and Ji He arrived shortly afterwards, and the three of them fought with Feng Lang.

　Xia Chen had the card in his hand but couldn't use it. His teammates and the enemy were too close, and he would hurt his teammates if he wasn't careful.

　He held the cards and looked for opportunities.

　Wang Minmin beside him was busier. From time to time, he needed to be given assistance according to Li Yao's shouts.

　Although the wind wolf was difficult to deal with, Li Yao and the three of them fought three against one, and finally killed the mutated beast with a knife. The three teenagers stopped panting.

　Not daring to waste it, Li Yao hovered the companion book and successfully collected a two-star claw.

　Frowning in dissatisfaction, Li Yao called the staff standing by to give him the new card.

　The two-star wind wolf may produce two types of cards, one is the two-star claw, and the other is the two-star wind speed. For Li Yao, the wind speed is very suitable for agile combat like him, while the claw is more suitable for melee combat without weapons, especially for practitioners. Good at work.

　This training ground is the property of the Li family. By giving the cards to the staff, it is considered that the benefits are not going to others.

　"Let's stop here today." Li Yao said with a not so good expression, and got up first and walked towards the locker room.

　The others left in twos and threes. Brothers Yu Hu and Bao were naturally together. Xia Chen and Ji He walked together. It was only after this meeting that Xia Chen discovered that Ji He and Xia Yi actually knew each other.

　To be precise, Ji He's parents knew the Xia couple. Ji He's experience was a bit similar to his. Both were abandoned by his parents, but later Ji He was adopted by a wealthy family, and he might join that family in the future.

　Xia Chen had seen the daughter of that family come to Ji He. She was a pretty girl, but she seemed to be in poor health. She leaned against Ji He with a look of dependence on her face and whispered "Brother Ji" in a low voice.

　Ji He, a tall and taciturn young man, treated his young fiancée as carefully as he held a half-opened flower, for fear that he would hurt her if he was too strong.

　Perhaps it was the "same encounter" that made Ji He naturally like him. Xia Chen also liked Ji He's silent but reliable character, so the two became friends.

　Xia Chen was curious about why Guo Jihe chose to participate in the youth competition. Jihe didn't seem to be the kind of person who was particularly pursuing fame or other things. He was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with a stable character like an old man.

　But he was not recruited by Li Yao's family with money, but took the initiative to join Li Yao's team. He usually trained very hard and looked like he would not give up until he reached the finals.

　Later, it was Li Yao who solved his doubts. Since it was not a secret and the follow-up was originally related to Xia Chen, Li Yao told him directly.

　It turns out that when Ji He's little fiancée was still in her mother's body, Mrs. Yu was accidentally injured and gave birth prematurely, and Miss Yu was born frail and sickly.

　The Yu family spent a lot of money to nurse their only daughter back to health. Over the years, she has only managed to bring her up to the slightly sickly state she is now, but she cannot do it like ordinary people, and she often gets sick.

　Ji He had no intention of participating in this youth competition. Later, he heard that there was a medical card among the rewards, which could treat congenital defects, so he signed up without saying a word.

　When Li Yao mentioned it to Xia Chen, he said that they had discussed it. If other people in the team get the treatment card, whether it is exchanged or sold, it must be given to Ji He first. Li Yao has already agreed.

　Of course Xia Chen would not refuse. Ji He's character was able to handle things and he was quite a man. The Yu family was right about the person.

　Walking behind them were Wang Minmin and Chen Fei. Just looking at their names, Xia Chen thought Chen Fei was a boy, but he didn't expect that he was also a girl.

　Although there are only two girls in the team, their relationship is not very good. After all, their roles are repeated, and one of them is destined to be a substitute. The compensation of substitutes and regular players is not at the same level at all.

　If there was a big gap between the two, there wouldn't be much trouble, but Wang Minmin obviously has two more card slots than Chen Fei, so such a big advantage is not sustainable. Chen Fei's fighting rhythm is far superior to Wang Minmin, and he can fight on his own without makeup. Evening the talent gap.

　The rhythm of combat is a very mysterious thing, but these teammates, especially those in close combat, feel it very clearly.

　For example, in the battle just now, if it were Chen Fei, the moment Feng Lang was blocked by Ji He, without Li Yao reminding him, Chen Fei would have added swiftness to Li Yao, and Li Yao would not have been that slow. It won't prolong the battle longer and longer.

　But Chen Fei has too few card slots. Her companion card also occupies one card slot. There are only three card slots that she can actually arrange for herself, and she can't even build a complete deck.

　Wang Minmin believed that she was more talented than Chen Fei and should definitely be a regular member of the team. However, Chen Fei's performance made her shameless, so naturally she would not have a good look towards Chen Fei.

　In twos and threes, they went to take a shower and change out of their combat uniforms. Xia Chen came out with his backpack and saw Li Yao leaning outside the locker room, obviously waiting for someone.

　Xia Chen walked over and Li Yao rubbed his nose and stood up straight: "Let's talk."

　Xia Chen nodded and followed him out. Li Yao frowned, obviously very worried: "Who do you think the team should choose as the starting support?"

　Brothers Yu Hu and Yu Bao are about the same level, but they have a good relationship and have agreed on the starting lineup and substitutes.

　And depending on the opponent's situation, Li Yao or Ji He may be replaced with a two-force lineup, so there is no competition between them.

　"You shouldn't ask me about this matter. Ji He and Yu Hu Yu Bao have more say than me." Xia Chen said.

　He has a long-range output, and there are very few auxiliary cards that can provide benefits to the magic system, and most of them are three stars or above. Wang Minmin and Chen Fei are unable to control many of them, so the auxiliary cards are basically useless to him.

　Li Yao glanced at him with a sad look in his eyes: "Yes, you don't need to worry at all. How can a genius like you understand the troubles of us mortals? No one of us can be without you."

　He was really convinced by Xia Yi's talent. He didn't awaken until he was seventeen. He was promoted to one star three days after awakening and to two stars a week later. He suspected that when the youth competition started, there would be another three-star boss in the team. .

　Moreover, he was very lucky. Maybe the bad luck in the first half of his life was due to the outbreak after he turned seventeen. Li Yao has grown up, and this is the first time he has seen people walking on the road and bumping into wild cards. There are more than one wild card.

　"That look in your eyes is so disgusting." Xia Chen pushed him away and threw his backpack on his back.

　He knew what Li Yao was talking about. Ever since he raised his official level to two stars, Li Yao and Zhang Songhai looked at him as if they were looking at rare animals.

　However, there have been situations in the past where the companion book appeared late, and card masters rose to stars faster than ordinary people. After all, they may have accumulated enough mental power before, but they just couldn't show it without the companion book.

　He is just a little faster than those people. Anyway, he has eight card slots. He is a genius. All outstanding and outstanding performances are what he should be.

　As for the mutant cores needed to upgrade the companion book, he was hit in the face by several wild food cards in front of Li Yao and others. No one would have thought that Xia Tongban would give him a small chance, they only thought that he was really lucky.

　He sold those cards and replaced them with mutant cores. The number of mutant cores required for a one- or two-star upgrade was not large, and these food cards were enough.

　But it is not that easy to upgrade to three stars. Xia Chen is worried about how to reasonably obtain a sufficient number of mutant cores to upgrade himself to three stars.

　"Just tell me, Chen Fei is really unlucky. He was promoted to two stars but not a single card slot was added." Li Yao was really worried. If he had to choose, it would definitely be Chen Fei, who was assisted by her. Very comfortable, with just the right amount of gain.

　But the number of Chen Fei's card slots is too small, and the battlefield changes rapidly. If one type of card is missing, there will be less possibility to deal with it.

　Xia Chen: "Say? Haven't you already chosen?"

　Li Yao looked confused: "When did I decide?"

　Xia Chen glanced at him sideways: "You keep lamenting Chen Fei's bad luck, aren't you just regretting her shortcomings? If you don't want to choose her, why bother with this."

　Li Yao: "What you said makes sense."

　After Li Yao made up his mind, he immediately took action and decided on the starting lineup that day. From now on, the starting lineup will be the main focus of practice.

　Wang Minmin cried loudly, but could not change anything. She could only act as an auxiliary substitute.

　Just when Xia Chen's team was undergoing emergency training, Wen Shu had already taken people in a nuclear (mutated nuclear) energy car to the central city, where the semi-finals and finals of the youth competition would be held, attracting a large number of people.

　When passing through a medium-sized city called Weihu City, Wu Duo came to ask for instructions, saying that his brother's team was passing by here and wanted to meet him.

　Wu Duo said that his brother Wu Yun had traveled extensively and visited many places. Maybe he could ask him for news and see if he had heard of any family that gave birth to a baby with excellent talents.

　The auditions for the youth competition had not yet started, so Wen Shu was not in a hurry and stayed there for two days, letting Wu Duo go to meet his brother.

　When Wu Duo came back, he was not alone. He also brought his brother Wu Yun with him. Wu Yun was not at ease with his brother's new master and insisted on coming to see him.

　Whether he stopped him or not, Wu Duo did not dare to let Wen Shu know what his brother was thinking. He only said that his brother wanted to see the Lord and thank him for the reward.
