After getting off the military plane, Yu Cang said goodbye to the soldiers of the second company and took a special car back to the ancient city.
By this time, it was already afternoon.
squeak--
The military vehicle stopped in front of Yu Cang's card house, and Yu Cang and the other two got off one after another.
"Thank you, Squad Leader Fang." Yu Cang waved his hand in the direction of the cab.
Fang Pei raised his hand, gave Yu Cang a thumbs up, then stepped on the accelerator and left.
He didn't have much time to leave the military area. After Yu Cang was sent back, he had to go back quickly.
"Senior." Lin Yunqing raised his head and looked in front of him curiously, "Is this your card-making room?"
It can be seen that this store is old, but the decoration is very particular, and a large number of key parts are made of wooden structure, giving people a feeling of aging.
At this moment, there is a sign hanging on the door that reads:
The boss is out for a few days. If you need anything, please call: 733255179~
But looking at it, it was obvious that the door was not locked. It seemed that Gu Jieshuang should be there.
"Yes." Yu Cang nodded, "How about you come in and sit for a while?"
He turned around and saw...the wilderness exploration equipment store next to him had closed down. It seemed that Shen Zheng would never come back.
"I'd better go back..." Lin Yunqing was about to refuse, but then thought about it.
Well, it seems that I was punished and couldn't study today...it seems like I won't be able to do much in the lab that time.
So she changed her tune, nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, senior."
"It's okay." Yu Cang smiled, "By the way, why don't you call Jiang Lou and the others over too? It's just a good time for us to get together."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
"Um."
Yu Cang opened the door, and the door rang the bell hanging on it, which suddenly made a crisp sound.
Then, a burst of footsteps was heard rushing down the stairs, and not long after, Gu Jieshuang's figure appeared at the top of the stairs.
When she saw it was Yu Cang, her eyes revealed visible surprise.
"Boss! You're back!"
Gu Jieshuang quickly put down the broom and took off her apron.
"um, I……"
Before Yu Cang could say anything, he suddenly felt a gust of fragrant wind rushing into his arms, and Gu Jieshuang had already hugged him tightly.
"Boss, I miss you."
After half of the sentence in his mouth was interrupted, he suddenly couldn't remember it. Yu Cang could only smile, pat Gu Jieshuang's back gently, and said nothing.
Gu Jieshuang buried her head in Yu Cang's chest, breathing in the smell of Yu Cang's body - suddenly, she felt something was wrong.
Momo poked her head out from Yu Cang's shoulder, and looked behind him.
Well... Qi'er was looking at the two of them intently with her eyes shining. This was normal. She knew what this girl was thinking.
But - why is Lin Yunqing here? !
And what are you doing!
Seeing that Gu Jieshuang had discovered him, Lin Yunqing remained expressionless, but moved his eyes slightly to the side...but did not put down the personal terminal in his hand.
——Crack.
"What are you doing!!"
"Oh, sorry, I'll turn off the shutter right now."
"Is this a problem with the shutter! Why are you here... Stop taking pictures, stop taking pictures!" Gu Jieshuang's face turned red visibly.
"Huh?" Lin Yunqing seemed a little confused, "Didn't you ask me to help you secretly photograph your senior?"
Hearing this, Yu Cang was stunned.
"ah?"
He grabbed Gu Jieshuang's shoulders and pulled her out of his arms. It could be seen that Gu Jieshuang was very resistant to leaving Yu Cang's arms at this moment, but Yu Cang still dragged her to him.
At this time, Gu Jieshuang's face was already red, and even her eyes were dizzy. After being pulled out, her two hands weakly pulled in the direction of Yu Cang, as if she wanted to bury her face again.
Perhaps at this time, Yu Cang's chest had the same effect as "a seam in the ground" in Gu Jieshuang's eyes.
"Did you ask Lin Yunqing to secretly photograph me?"
"I, I didn't... No, I..." Gu Jieshuang covered her face with both hands and started talking nonsense.
Seeing this look, Yu Cang was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Okay, it's nothing." Yu Cang rubbed Gu Jieshuang's head, "If you want to know what I'm doing, you can just tell me. I'll take the photo for you myself next time."
"...Okay." Gu Jieshuang still covered her face, and a voice as thin as a mosquito's moan slipped out from between her fingers.
behind.
Also blushing was Qi'er.
At this moment, the girl was holding Lin Yunqing's hand with both hands and shaking her hands, but her eyes never left Yu Cang and Yu Cang for a moment.
Looking at her expression, she was obviously very satisfied.
"Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble." Yu Cang said with a smile, "Are you cleaning?"
"Well... the boss has been gone for more than a week after all. I rarely came here last week, so I just wanted to help the boss clean..."
"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Cang said with a smile, "You stay in the house for a while, I will go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and I will ask my friends in the laboratory to come together in the evening."
"Okay!" Gu Jieshuang calmed down a lot, but his face was still red, "I'm here to help!"
Behind him, Lin Yunqing put away the terminal and suddenly said: "Jieshuang, you go with the senior, I will help clean the store."
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"Well, after all, I am also the senior's assistant, so I can't just do nothing."
"Thank you so much!"
…
So, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang took Qi'er to the streets again.
"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang looked at the cowering Qi'er, feeling a little strange, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you?"
At this time in the past, shouldn't the chess players have already held hands with themselves and their boss?
Even if you don't hold hands, you should still get into the boss's arms.
"Well..." Qi'er's expression was very firm, "Qi'er has been punished, Qi'er can't hold my brother's hand!"
"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang looked at Yu Cang in confusion.
Yu Cang smiled helplessly and told Gu Jieshuang what happened last night while walking.
"Ah, that's it." Looking at Qi'er's pitiful look, Gu Jieshuang felt a little guilty, "Boss... I asked Lin Yunqing to secretly take the photo. Why don't you punish me instead of Qi'er..."
"What shall I punish you for?" Yu Cang smiled.
It was Gu Jieshuang who asked for the secret photos, but the photos of herself and Miao Xue together at such an ambiguous angle must have been Lin Yunqing and Qi'er's own ideas.
There was no penalty this time.
"Hmm, just punish me..." Gu Jieshuang thought hard, "How about you punish me and not hold hands for a day?"
"No." Yu Cang refused decisively.
Who should be punished?
Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked at the smile in Yu Cang's eyes, as if she had figured out something. Her face started to turn red again before she had calmed down for a long time.
"good……"
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she quietly stretched out her hand, trying to sneak into Yu Cang's palm, but at this moment she heard Yu Cang say:
"I'll just fine you and deduct a hundred dollars from your salary."
"Ah?!" Gu Jieshuang's body suddenly froze.
Deduct a hundred?
No, she works odd jobs here in Yucang, and she doesn’t get much salary in a month!
Gu Jieshuang's face fell, but what could she do? After the words were spoken, she could only pouted.
"Okay... By the way, boss." She seemed to have thought of something, took out her personal terminal, and continued, "Here, this is the money to pay back to the boss... It's not much, but this is just the first payment!"
Sigh, although, I'm a little angry... I'm the first person to pay to go to work, right?
"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned. He took out his personal terminal and took a look.
Gu Jieshuang transferred 30,000 yuan to herself?
this……
Yu Cang's brows wrinkled slightly.
"You went to a dangerous place?"
"Well... Liegong Ancient Acupoint is not dangerous. I just wandered around the outside."
Yu Cang's brows furrowed deeper and he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
……what happened.
Obviously he knows that this is something that all soul card masters have to go through. It is obvious that the place he and Gu Jieshuang are going to go in the future will be countless times more dangerous than Lie Gong's ancient cave.
But when he heard what Gu Jieshuang said, he still felt unhappy and worried about her going into danger alone.
When Gu Jieshuang saw that Yu Cang was silent, he couldn't help but look over and asked in confusion: "What's the matter, boss?"
"...Nothing." Yu Cang shook his head.
On the side, Qi'er suddenly stuck out his little head and said sharply: "Brother is worried about you! He doesn't want you... Hmm!"
Before the girl finished speaking, Yu Cang's big hand fell from the sky, ruffling the girl's hair unceremoniously, and swallowed the second half of her words in his mouth.
Yu Cang's expression didn't change at all, but Gu Jieshuang, no matter how stupid he was, could see that he was just pretending to be calm.
It's a bit cute.
Gu Jieshuang snickered a few times, then took a deep breath, put her hand in Yu Cang's palm, moved it slightly, and interlocked her fingers.
"Don't worry, I will keep you safe." Gu Jieshuang looked at the road ahead. The sun was shining all the way, and the evening breeze was delicate, blowing the ends of her hair. "We made an appointment... I won't break my promise."
Yu Cang didn't say anything, but just held Gu Jieshuang's hand tightly.
"Well, neither can I."
…
Soon, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang returned to the card making house with large and small bags of ingredients and some daily necessities.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard a voice coming towards him.
"Master Yu Cang? Master, you are back!" Jiang Lou ran over and quickly took the bag from Yu Cang's hand, "Come on, just give it to me!"
Qiu Ding and Wang Changzhi also arrived soon after, and divided up all the bags in the hands of Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang.
"How's it going, Master? Did it go well this time?" Qiu Ding looked forward to it.
If the mechanical deck gets the opportunity to be promoted by the whole army...then he can get the deck through connections!
Who knows, he really wants to compete with the mechanical race!
But... after all, it is a major armament reform, so it should be quite difficult to get first place.
Since Yu Cang spent the next few days in the military zone, Qiu Ding didn't know yet that the deck contained two killer weapons, the Individual Reactive Armor and the Electronic Energy-Draining Tower.
His impression was still at the stage of thunder and iron roaring.
Of course Yu Cang knew what he was thinking, and he didn't show off. He just smiled and said:
"Of course, it's easy to get first place."
"Yes!" Qiu Ding clenched his fist and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
But Yu Cang changed the topic: "But if you want to use it in official competitions, it might be a bit difficult."
Qiu Ding was stunned: "Ah? Why..."
Yu Cang spread his hands: "The mechanical deck is too strong and has been included in the list of banned cards for the Soul Card Master Duel."
"...!" Qiu Ding was greatly shocked, his eyes widened, as if his brain was overloaded.
Wait, what Master Yu Cang means is...a whole deck of cards is on the list?
Is this such an exaggeration?
Normally, a deck would only ban one or two cards...
Yu Cang smiled and did not continue. Instead, he took out a soul card and stuffed it into Qiu Ding's hand.
"By the way...I need you to help me give this soul card to Gu Luo."
Qiu Ding took it blankly, glanced at it casually, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Huh? This is..."
Powered robotic arm?
Hiss...this is so handsome!
For a moment, Qiu Ding's eyes suddenly glowed with light.
This, this mechanical arm, even if he has sound limbs, he still wants to have one!
"This is for Gu Luo. If you want me to do it for you later, you are not allowed to steal this soul card. Do you understand?" Yu Cang said casually.
This soul card was exactly what he made before going to bed last night.
Gu Luo's arm was torn off by his eldest son. The wound was very irregular. In addition, he was running all the way and was affected by the bombing of the mountain. There was no possibility of reattaching the broken arm.
Some soul cards may have the effect of rebirth after a broken arm, but the required level is too high, and Gu Luo doesn't know if there is any way to find someone with such a soul card.
In any case, although Gu Luo's broken arm has nothing to do with Yu Cang, it also happened in the same battle, and this broken arm also probed key information, and Yu Cang couldn't ignore it. Don't ask - at least, it is possible to make a soul card for him that can help.
"Of course! How could I take something from a friend!" Qiu Ding shook his head quickly, "But master...since you made the soul card, how about we go together tomorrow? Let Lao Gu thank you personally."
"No need." Yu Cang refused, "I still have a lot of things to be busy with, so I won't go."
"Well."
After explaining this, Yu Cang turned around and walked to the kitchen: "Okay, you guys sit down for a while, and I will prepare meals for you."
"Boss, let me help you!" Gu Jieshuang stood up immediately and followed Yu Cang into the kitchen.
"Master, I'm here too. It's not my skill, but my cooking skills..." Wang Changzhi rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help as soon as he got up.
But Lin Yunqing's casual look made Wang Changzhi suddenly shiver and stop.
"What...what happened?" Wang Changzhi blinked, somewhat confused as to why he had offended Lin Yunqing.
Lin Yunqing just stroked his glasses and said calmly: "Pay attention and observe."
Wang Changzhi was stunned for a moment. Before he could understand anything, Jiang Lou beside him suddenly widened his eyes.
"Wait a minute, Sister Qing, Master and Sister Shuang..." Jiang Lou's eyes moved back and forth between the backs of Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang, his eyes widening.
No, there is a situation!
Based on his many years of experience in dating, the relationship between the two people is definitely different from before!
This kind of ignorance, this kind of ambiguity... Tsk.
But that's not right. If he remembered correctly, a week ago, Master Yu Cang went to the military area, while Sister Shuang went home directly... The two of them were not in the same place. How did this relationship develop?
Lin Yunqing's expression did not change: "No, but there is."
Three people:? ?
What does it mean?
For a moment, the three of them brainstormed wildly.
Yu Cang invited the three of them to the card making house for dinner, also to express his gratitude. After all, they were involved in this mechanical deck in disguise, and when new cards are released in the future, they might be asked to make some of them. tester.
There wasn't much to say during the meal. Yu Cang just said a few words of thanks, and the three of them in Jianglou looked so grateful that Yu Cang himself was a little confused.
So exaggerated?
I didn’t pua them…
After finishing their meal quickly, they returned to Gudu University together. Only Yu Cang and Qi'er were left in the card-making room.
It can be seen that Gu Jieshuang doesn't really want to separate from Yu Cang. After all, they have just met.
Before, she would have found various reasons to spend the night in the card-making room, and it wasn't the first time.
But now that the relationship has gone a step further, she is a little afraid to do this.
In the past, she was upright and not afraid of slanting shadows, and she was confident. Yu Cang couldn't beat her anyway, he could do anything, and the boss was not like that.
But now... the conversation has come to this point, and the relationship has been almost confirmed. If Yu Cang really wants to... she doesn't know how to refuse.
It can't really evolve into sausages.
And more importantly, there are outsiders here now, and she doesn't want Jiang Lou and the others to think wrong.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant she was to give up, Gu Jieshuang could only smile and wave to Yu Cang, then turned around and returned to the dormitory.
Before leaving, several people carefully cleared the dining table, so Yu Cang had nothing to do after seeing them off.
After sending Qi'er, who was nodding from sleepiness, to the bed, Yu Cang returned to his room.
The trophy carved from the dim light crystal has been placed in the glass cabinet beside the bed by Yu Cang. After turning off the light, the soft light naturally emitted from it, making the cabin look as dreamy as the bottom of a shallow sea.
Seeing this scene, Yu Cang scratched his head.
"Hmm...this dim light crystal should have no radiation."
should not.
Although the technological level of this world is not too high, it has also discovered the periodic table of elements and has a certain understanding of radiation. The trophy given to itself by the association cannot prevent such low-level mistakes.
However, placing such a luminous object at the head of the bed does affect sleep a bit... I'd better put it somewhere else.
Taking the trophy to a room on the third floor and putting it away, Yu Cang nodded with satisfaction.
"...By the way, I don't know what can be extracted from this trophy."
Yu Cang's heart moved and he immediately started extracting the entries.
Originally it was just a casual try, Yu Cang thought it would only take an hour at most, but the interface that popped up on the entry recorder shocked Yu Cang.
"Fuck, a whole day?!"
Yu Cang was stunned.
Doesn't this mean that... there will be a legend? !
Be good.
Yu Cang blinked.
Where does this heirloom entry come from...is it because of the symbolic meaning of this trophy? Or is it because of... the Nether Light Crystal itself?
Yu Cang's heart was suddenly lifted, but it would take a whole day to complete the extraction, so rushing now was not an option.
Forget it, go to bed first.
…
the next day
Qiu Ding got up early.
After skipping class in the morning, he drove along in the car and found a small street.
After getting off the car, Qiu Ding took off his sunglasses and looked up at the sign of the shop in front of him.
Mr. Gu’s home cooking.
Well...that's it.
Qiu Ding pushed the door open and walked in. This was a very clean restaurant, but it was definitely not the choice he would make when eating.
I heard someone entering the door, footsteps coming downstairs, and at the same time, a voice came:
"I'm sorry, guest, it's not business hours yet..."
Gu Luo was stunned at the entrance of the stairs. He looked at Qiu Ding in front of him.
"This... Boss Qiu?"
"Hey, Lao Gu." Qiu Ding grinned, "Why, don't you invite me in to sit down?"
"No, no... please come in!"
Gu Luo was a little confused.
After Qiu Ding sat down, Gu Luo opened the tea cup with his only remaining hand and poured a cup of tea.
"Boss Qiu, I am no longer the coach of the club. You came to me this time..."
"Oh? Why, after Fire Stars closed down, you didn't go to other clubs for interviews?"
"Hey..." Gu Luo said with a bitter smile, "Which club would want an employee with one arm..."
Qiu Ding frowned slightly. He put down the tea cup and looked at Gu Luo, whose face was pale and obviously had not yet recovered. He said, "Old Gu, why don't you and I go to the Imperial Capital and continue to work with me."
Gu Luo's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect that Qiu Ding would say such a thing.
After all, those who work in their profession come into contact with people of some status. How can anyone be like Qiu Ding, who still misses him when his job is gone?
However, Gu Luo still shook his head: "No need, Boss Qiu... I'm used to staying in the ancient capital, and I don't want to go anywhere else."
"That's it... that's okay." Qiu Ding did not continue.
He went straight to the topic, took out a soul card from his arms, and pushed it in front of Gu Luo: "Nuo, this card was given to you by Master Yu Cang...it was specially made for you."
Gu Luo was stunned for a moment. His eyes fell on the soul card. After seeing the introduction clearly, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Soul Card Name: Powered Robotic Arm
Category: Summoning Card
Quality: ordinary
Property: gold
Race: Mechanical
ability:
[Transmission of power]: Powered robotic arms can be equipped on the user. At this time, if the position is appropriate, muscle power can be used to perform simple mechanical activities without consuming soul energy.
[Standby Mode]: If [Conduction Power] takes effect, the mental pressure to maintain the soul card will be greatly reduced. If you actively cancel the summons, it will not enter the death cooldown, will not take up mental pressure, and can be summoned again at any time.
"This..." Gu Luo suddenly stood up. He looked at the soul card in his palm and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qiu Ding smiled: "Try it, this is for you."
"...Okay!" Gu Luo nodded quickly.
The next second, he activated the soul card, and a ghost card opened on his side. Countless parts flew out from it, and were assembled into a mechanical arm in his empty sleeves.
He suppressed his excitement and moved his palms gently and carefully.
Moved!
Really moving!
And it's so flexible...even more flexible than his original arm!
Since losing his arm, he felt that his life had suddenly reached the lowest point.
His best skill, marksmanship, had no use after his arm was broken, and he could only return to the small restaurant at home. If nothing unexpected happened, this would probably be the end of his life.
Every night, there would be bursts of phantom pain from the place where he lost his arm, making him unable to sleep and making him suffer extremely.
Now, it's finally over.
Gu Luo felt his nose was sore, and the next second, the man couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears flowed out all at once.
