A hotel in Ode City.
In the dim room, Lu Li sat silently in front of the mirror.
A milky white star card appeared in his hand. There were 10 star symbols on the card, exuding a faint light.
The circuit twisted and turned into another star card in just an instant.
[Light Distortion]
Star Card Type: Star Magic Card
Star Card Level: Level 1
Effect description: Can slightly distort the light near the user.
This is one of the effects of [Morning Star]. It can change the circuit under Lu Li's control and become other first-level star cards.
Activate the star card.
The light on Lu Li's face began to distort.
After a series of adjustments, his facial features became deeper and his facial lines appeared more mature.
[Morning Star] can only be transformed into a first-level star card. The operation of controlling light to modify the appearance is very limited, and can only slightly modify the original appearance.
This kind of operation is not unfamiliar to Lu Li, who has been playing games for many years.
At this time, Lu Li looked more like a mixed-race young man in his 20s than an Oriental.
His current appearance may look familiar to acquaintances, but to strangers, they will definitely think that he and the sickly boy are two different people.
This is his new identity, a 25-year-old second-level star card master.
Five days have passed since he returned to Ord City from the Source of Darkness.
In the past few days, the entire city's Order Army has been on the move, patrolling and interrogating the city like crazy. Some higher-level Star Card Masters will be taken away directly.
The scope of this investigation also extended to the surrounding areas of Aude City.
Like the people who stayed in the cabins on the boat at the docking station, and the star card masters who were ambushing near the exit of the docking station.
This type of people will even be defined as "suspicious people" and all will be taken away regardless of class.
As a result, the Shark Pirate Group and the foreign aid they invited were all taken advantage of under such circumstances...
Lu Li would never believe that such a big move had nothing to do with the incident at Yongye Center.
Although he was sure that the star card master from Northern Europe did not see his appearance, Lu Li still forged a new identity just to be on the safe side.
In this orderly city of Oud, it is surprisingly easy to disguise an identity.
The reason is also very simple.
Most of the star card masters in exile here are gangsters or wanted criminals who have been removed from the federal list. They do not have identity cards issued by the star card association.
Therefore, during these five days, Lu Li was interrogated many times, but the Order Army never asked him to show any identification.
On several occasions, the Army of Order even just sensed the fluctuations in his star power and left.
Lu Li also gradually found out the reason for the "perfunctory" inspection attitude of the Order Army.
These troops of order seemed to have gone astray due to unknown factors. They focused all their attention on the high-level star card masters, but ignored Lu Li, the "second-level star card master", and only made hasty inquiries during the interrogation.
Of course Lu Li didn't know that because it involved the Source Star Card, the Star Card Masters who were taken away were interrogated by Black himself.
Black couldn't interrogate too many people at one time, nor could he lock up all the Star Card Masters in one fell swoop. The Army of Order can only arrest people in order from high to low.
——Start from level five.
After learning that he was not too suspicious, Lu Li also took the initiative and wandered around the city to find out the forces behind this big move.
Covenant.
To sum it up in one sentence, this Star Alliance is the immediate boss of each federal star card association.
This was in line with Lu Li's speculation.
The man who used Thunder came from an official star card master organization.
But, the teacher embarked on this criminal path just to treat himself?
If it were just for this reason, wouldn't it be too willful?
Anyway, Lu Li felt that Teacher Fatty was not this kind of person.
In my memory, Fatty Teacher was always smiling, a little mean, and fond of petty gains. At least in the fifteen years that he grew up with Lu Li, the teacher had never done anything extremely sinful.
"Maybe... it has something to do with the teacher's past?"
Lu Li muttered to himself.
After this incident, Lu Li also gained a new understanding of Teacher Fatty's strength.
At least level six, maybe level seven.
A strong person of this level is respected everywhere. Even if he waits for death and hangs his name, he can be considered as the management of the Federation Star Card branch. He won't have to bargain with the baby for fifteen years, right?
In the past, Lu Li was young and had little contact with the outside world, so he did not understand these things, but now when he connected various information together, he discovered many strange things.
After thinking for a while, Lu Li still couldn't figure it out. He knew too little information.
It's actually very simple to find out what Zhenxiang is. All you need to do is surrender to the Star Card Association.
But Lu Li would not foolishly think that the Star Alliance was an official organization and that he would be let go as long as he took the initiative to hand over [Morning Star].
At least we can't do such stupid things until we understand the real situation.
So, if you want to reach this level of circle, you must first enter the circle of star card masters.
The easiest way is to report to Xinghai Academy.
It turned out that Lu Li didn't care much about the identity of this auditor, but now he got it without any effort.
It's just that while he was in school, he had to continue to use [Morning Star] to hide his true strength and develop in an obscene manner so as not to attract other people's attention.
After all, being able to cure a terminal disease like star power depletion is a medical miracle in itself, let alone becoming a star card master.
If he wanted to access the secrets of the teacher's level, Lu Li would need to have greater strength.
On the road of star card master, financial strength is also the key, and making money by creating star cards cannot be left behind.
"When we return to the Eastern Federation safely, we can return to our old profession and start playing games." Lu Li muttered to himself.
He constantly manipulates light to make the facial camouflage look more natural.
"But we need to leave this place of wrong first... Why haven't Jeff and the others come out yet?"
After repairing his disguise, Lu Li took out the glass ball matching [Firefly Tracking] from the storage card.
He murmured to himself: "It seems that the teacher had anticipated the current situation before entering the source of darkness, otherwise he would not have given me this small ball, and I don't know when Jeff and the others will come out."
The glass ball has not yet shattered into star power and dissipated, which also means that nothing happened to Fatty Teacher himself.
[Tracking Fireflies] is very similar to [Star Shift] at this point. When the user dies or this star card is no longer stored in the sea of consciousness, the glass ball and anchor point will disappear.
But now the glass ball is empty, without a trace of light.
This is not because the star card has lost its effect, but [Tracking Fireflies] itself does not have the ability to locate across borders.
Team Suk is still exploring inside the source of darkness and has not come out yet.
Lu Li held the glass ball with his index finger and thumb and looked at it carefully under the dim light, with a trace of anxiety behind his eyes.
He also wanted to leave Oud City as soon as possible.
Judging from the recent rumors in the city, the star card master captured by the Order Army has been reduced from the fifth level to the fourth level. No one knows whether it will be the turn of a low-level star card master like him in the future.
But Lu Li couldn't do it.
With his level of strength, it is simply a fantasy to enter the windy and snowy Antarctic Circle alone and cross the 5,000-kilometer ocean back to the mainland.
I don't dare to ride on other boats. I don't know if I will be a sheep in a tiger's mouth. It is better to stay in this city where there is no fighting. It is safer.
Moreover, if you follow the team of Bosch Academy, it will be easier to get through and leave Oud City.
...
...
Aude City Star Card Association, basement level.
Team Suk walked out of the door.
Judging from the expressions of the five people, they have gained a lot from this experience.
"We must be number one in this practical class assessment, right?" Twin-tailed Ellie looked relaxed.
"That's for sure." Ryuk said with an elegant smile, "We hunted a fourth-level star beast."
In terms of absolute strength, star beasts may only be slightly stronger than star card masters of the same level, but they can use the surrounding environment to their own advantage.
This makes it much more difficult for star card masters to hunt star beasts.
The team configuration of one level 4 and four level 3 players was indeed worthy of praise for being able to hunt down a level 4 star beast.
Although, Jeff only opened the [Night Vision Ring] once during the whole process, which cannot be called a combat effectiveness.
"Guys over there, come here!"
The Order Army stationed at the entrance to the source of star power waved.
The Ryuk team had been practicing in the Source of Darkness for nearly a week. During this period, they were completely isolated from the outside world and were a little surprised by the sudden interrogation.
"Hello, sir." There were a few tears in the clothes on Sui Ke's body.
Those were the traces left by the battle. The character designer asked politely: "We are from Bosch Academy in the Ocean Federation. We are students who came to the source of darkness to experience. Is there anything we can do to help you?"
There was a smile on Suoke's lips, and the erosion of the dark elemental star power did not seem to have any negative impact on him.
"Academic student?"
The Army of Order was a little surprised.
In Aude City, such polite people are rare.
His eyes swept over the five young people on the ground, and his voice became slightly softer.
——After all, all the famous universities in the Federation are their father, the financial backer of Aude City.
Even the salary may be sponsored by them.
The Order Army continued: "I am also on business. According to the orders from above, we must find out the identity of every Star Card Master who has returned from the source."
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
Liu Ke collected the student ID cards of his friends and handed them to the Order Army together: "Sir, this is our student ID card."
After some inspection, the Order Army returned the five star cards to Suik, and also gave a warm reminder: "The nearest Oud City will be chaotic, and all students of Bosch Academy should leave as soon as possible to avoid being involved. in."
"Thank you for reminding me, I understand, sir." Liu Ke half-bowed and gained another wave of favorability in front of the Army of Order.
Then he left with the remaining four team members.
"What happened in Oder City recently?" Suoke was very confused.
The city has always maintained a minimum of order.
The Army of Order and the exiled star card masters were at war with each other in the atmosphere, but they always maintained the bottom line of not violating the rules of the river, and coexisted peacefully in a very strange relationship.
Now the Army of Order has completely broken this balance and started arresting people on a large scale?
"Don't pay attention to what happens in the city. We are just students. We must remember that these things are not something we can participate in." Luk reminded in a low voice, "Let's get out of here quickly and let's talk about the rest on the ship."
According to their original plan, after coming out of the source of darkness, they would find a small hotel to rest for a while before setting sail and leaving.
Now the plan can't keep up with the changes, and we have to set off immediately.
The remaining four people also nodded and followed Ryuk quickly around the crowd and left the association.
As soon as they walked out of the tower gate, they saw a black-haired young man leaning on the wall, playing with a glass ball in his hand.
"Hello you all."
The young man said with a smile.
This young man is naturally Lu Li in disguise.
He specially chose a hotel near the Star Card Association.
After seeing the green light in the glass ball, he ran over immediately and had a "fateful" encounter with the Ryuk team.
It only takes three minutes to walk from the hotel to the entrance of Star Card Association.
"Are you...?" Liu Ke looked at Lu Li's disguised face, feeling a little unsure.
The young man in front of him looked familiar, both in appearance and figure, and even his voice was familiar.
"Lu, we really met!"
Silly Jeff does not have such complicated thoughts as Ryuk.
His intuition told him that this young man was Lu Li, so that was it.
Lu Li said with a smile: "Mr. Sik, you seem to have said that as long as we are destined to meet again, your ship will take me back to the Ocean Federation, right?"
After hearing these inappropriate words, the muscles on Suike's face stiffened imperceptibly.
You want to say this is a coincidence or fate, but who would believe it?
But he still maintained his polite persona and asked politely: "Hello, Mr. Lu, we very much welcome you to continue taking our ship and enjoy the journey back to the Federation with us."
After some polite words, Sui Ke gradually entered the topic and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Sir, why do you want to change your face?"
There are many types of star cards. Although Ryuk pays more attention to combat star cards and has heard of star cards that change appearance, he is not too surprised.
"Oh, I found that the women here seem to prefer mature men..." Lu Li opened his mouth, having perfectly learned Han Youde's ability to talk nonsense.
The muscles on Luk's face became even stiffer, and the corners of his mouth trembled unnoticeably.
This is really a rich man who comes to Oud City to eat, drink and have fun, right?
Now that the city is so alert, do you still have the intention to use star cards to find women?
But Ode City is indeed a paradise for rich people.
The high consumption makes the Star Card Masters here become even more eager for money. Some timid Star Card Masters dare not take risks to the source of darkness, and do not want to let go of this hard-won "comfortable" life.
They and they had to develop new service industries.
If you have money, gender doesn't matter.
"What about your master? Won't he return with us?" Luk looked around cautiously, desperately hoping not to see that tall and fat figure.
There is actually no problem in bringing this young man with him. On the way here, this young man was quiet and never caused trouble.
When fighting pirates, the [Flash Technique] released is just right.
Much more useful than the self-destructing truck that uses [Pandora's Box].
"Teacher, he plans to stay in Oud City for a few more days and let me return to the Federation first." Lu Li said with a smile.
That's good.
Luk's expression relaxed: "We plan to leave for the Federation now. Do you have any questions, Mr. Lu?"
"I have no problem." Lu Li shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Then let's get out of the city."
Ryuk was willing to take Lu Li with him again because of the [Night Vision Ring].
The halo-type night vision ability is indeed very useful, allowing them to gain a lot in the source of darkness.
This time, they will definitely be the undisputed number one in their grade at Bosch Academy.
You must know that the results of the practical classes in the senior year will affect the qualifications for the Star Card Competition.
...
...
The identity of the Bosi Academy training team is indeed very useful.
Lu Li and the others arrived at the gate of Oud City with the green light.
During this period, the Order Army patrolling the city did come forward to check their identities.
But Ryuk, the tool man...crossed out, the outstanding students of Bosch Academy are so polite that all the Order Army will soften their expressions a bit after seeing this elegance.
In addition, the interrogation in the city was not as strict as at the source entrance, so the Order Army only let Ryuk go after seeing his student ID card.
This is because the persona brother is a high-level star card master.
As for the remaining low-level Star Card Masters, the Order Army didn't even look at them.
They are just children, how can they be related to criminals?
"Kakaka..."
The steel door slowly opened.
It was still dark outside Oud City, but the night sky had changed.
In the dark sky, there were a few scattered stars.
Although there were only a few scattered stars, they were still noticed by Lu Li.
Before entering the city, this night sky might be more accurately called a dark barrier. It is like a very large opaque curtain covering the sky above the Antarctic Circle, blocking out all starlight and moonlight.
It's finally out.
Looking up at the stars, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief unnoticeably.
After spitting out six people, the steel gate turned its gears again and slowly closed.
"Damn it, wait a minute!"
The familiar Cockney accent made Lu Li's movements freeze instantly.
That was the Star Card Master I met at the Evernight Center!
