The next morning.
Lu Li woke up from his sleep.
Loud snoring echoed in his ears regularly, like a deafening drumbeat.
"I haven't been this high for a long time." Lu Li sat up from the upper bunk and looked down at the dormitory.
On the lower bunk, Ma Baoguo and Liu Yichen were lying across each other, hugging each other tightly in their sleep, mumbling indescribable murmurs.
Xiong Er was lying on the floor in a very inconspicuous manner, and the snoring sound came from his nasal cavity.
Looking at the three people sleeping soundly, Lu Li's mind flashed back to the scene after yesterday's trial.
Although the selection competition was fierce, it was a bit unfinished.
Lu Li and others who won the top three in the third level competition did not receive any award ceremony.
After Xia Youran announced that the three people had been selected for the training team, he immediately began to clear the venue, asking all spectators and players to leave the competition venue immediately.
However, just because Xia Lagou is in a hurry to get off work, it doesn't mean that students don't want to "make trouble."
After the game was completely over, in order to celebrate the end of the trials, Captain Jun and Captain Xiong took all the members of the training team and sparring team to a snack street in Xinghai Town and had fun for most of the night.
People in the audience said that this is a traditional event of Xinghai Academy. After each trial, everyone who trains together can participate in this barbecue carnival if they want.
As a dark horse who entered the training team for the first time, Lu Li naturally received special "care" from everyone. He was fed a lot of drinks and beer, which made him feel a little dizzy when he woke up early in the morning.
"It's good to relax once in a while." Lu Li stretched.
Since joining the sparring group, most of his time has been filled with practice, which has resulted in much less time for entertainment, and his life is similar to that of an ascetic.
The carnival last night was rare and unbridled.
Lu Li walked down from the bed quietly. Ma Baoguo, Liu Yichen, and Xiong Er were still sleeping soundly. They had also drank a lot of wine.
The first two were there to say goodbye.
They knew that if they continued to work in the sparring group, there wouldn't be much room for improvement, so they planned to quit the group in the near future and find internships. In Liu Yichen's words, "After graduation, it's time to make money." ”.
In fact, the situation is very similar every year. There are many students like them. Basically, after the penultimate tryout, they all quit the group and plan to face life.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Those who get out of the trough and turn this frustration into unwillingness to work hard will be more likely to succeed.
"Chirp chirp..."
The clear chirping of birds sounded overhead, and a pure white homing pigeon descended from the sky.
Lu Li frowned slightly.
The [Morning Star] in the sea of consciousness can sense that the pigeon in front of him is not a real bird, but a ball of star power.
Obviously, this homing pigeon is most likely a functional star beast created with star cards.
But Lu Li didn't feel any malice from it.
"Uh-huh."
The white dove landed slowly and folded its wings beside the window sill.
Its dark eyes flashed with a human smile, and it rubbed its small head on Lu Li's right hand, and then "Peng" exploded.
The twinkling star power regrouped in Lu Li's hand and turned into a narrow note.
There is a line of small words written on it, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful.
"I'm back. I'll visit the Star Card Association when I have time."
Lu Li's eyes continued to scan downwards, and when he saw the person signing the payment, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Below the message, the name of the person signing the note is written.
——Zou Dahe.
"President Zou is finally back?" Lu Li was a little surprised.
When he was being hunted at the Source of Light, a master who called himself "Red Scarf" appeared and helped Uncle Chen successfully kill the fifth-level master.
In this regard, Lu Li always suspected that this master was related to the Star Card Association, and repeatedly tried to find President Zou for confirmation.
However, during this period of time, President Zou had been "accompanying" Black to watch the game in the west, so Lu Li had no choice but to give up.
"It seems that the president does know something." Lu Li stretched out his finger, tapped it lightly on the note, and crushed it to pieces with star power.
He looked up into the distance. The tall tower of the Star Card Association stood in the center of Xinghai Town, suppressing the entrance to the source of light below.
"Go now."
Lu Li immediately retreated to his dormitory, casually put on a pair of sports clothes, and then ran out of the dormitory building.
...
It's still early and the bus's departure schedule hasn't left yet.
The always bustling Xinghai Town finally ushered in the most deserted period of the day.
"Tap tap tap..."
Lu Li ran on the empty street, light star power floating around him.
The distance between Xinghai Academy and Star Card Association is not far, only a few kilometers.
With the physical fitness of a third-level star card master and the bonus of several accelerating star cards, Lu Li was already standing at the door of the star card association in just ten minutes.
Unlike association branches in various places, the association headquarters in Haicheng is open 24 hours a day.
The night shift staff had not yet changed their shifts, and most of them were a little tired, making the hall quiet.
"Lu Li, right?"
Just as he entered the lobby, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes called out to Lu Li.
"It's me." Lu Li nodded.
"President Zou is already waiting for you. Come upstairs with me." The man in the suit pressed the elevator button and made a "please" gesture.
