Rumors spread quickly.
Not long after Lu Li started to bubble up in the small group of five, Ma Baoguo sent a message: "Lu Li, you are such a beast. I haven't touched the fourth level threshold yet, and you are about to break through?"
Followed closely by Lu Qianxing: "That's awesome, Lu Li. I'm about to reach level 4. I'm looking forward to fighting you again as a high-level star card master."
All kinds of greetings and blessings came one after another. At this time, Lu Li was like a general on the stage with flags on his back.
So, Lu Li embarked on the journey to the Purgatory Mountains with everyone's "expectations".
...
The next day, Haicheng Airport.
Lu Li arrived as promised.
The geographical location of the airport is almost the same as in its previous life, but the area and daily throughput are more than a little larger.
Sitting on a source of star power, Haicheng is a well-deserved international metropolis. There are bustling crowds going to and from here, and there are also many star card masters among them.
"For flight H12138 heading to DJI Airport, the check-in place is at the G20 counter." Lu Li held the ticket in his hand and looked for the check-in counter.
It wasn't until the moment he took out his ticket last night that Lu Li discovered that the destination arranged for him by the association was not the location of the Source of Flame, but the territory of the Eastern Federation.
But Lu Li did not go back to President Zou to ask what happened, but kept his questions until today.
The advent of storage cards freed people in this era from the shackles of luggage. When checking in, they omitted the step of sending luggage, so Lu Li completed the entire process quickly.
He walked through the security check with his stamped ticket, walked through the vast waiting hall, and finally came to the check-in gate of flight H12138.
Lu Li took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number.
After the ringing for three seconds, the other party answered the call and said hello politely: "Hello."
"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Lu Li." Lu Li came straight to the point, "I've arrived at the flight gate. Are you there?"
The person who answered the call was the "bodyguard" sent by Zou Dahe to escort Lu Li to the source of the flame. He was also Chairman Zou's disciple, the seventh-level Star Card Master, Chen Gui.
"I'm practicing in the toilet, please wait a moment, I'll be right over." On the other side of the phone, Chen Gui replied solemnly.
Land from:"???"
I can understand both things in the toilet and practicing cultivation, but why can’t I understand them together?
Soon, a man of medium build and average appearance appeared.
He has a round face, a flat head, and thick eyebrows. He is wearing a casual shirt with no wrinkles.
"Hello, Lu Li, I'm Chen Gui." The middle-aged man with a crew cut introduced himself concisely and in a strict tone.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Lu Li responded respectfully.
Although he felt that the man in front of him was a bit strange, Chen Gui was a genuine seventh-level star card master after all, and he should be given the respect he deserved.
"Yeah." Chen Gui nodded and went straight to find a seat to sit down without saying a word.
Lu Li also sat on the seat next to him.
Afterwards, the two fell into a mysterious silence, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Chen Gui was like a wooden man. He didn't look at his phone, chatted, or looked at the beautiful women passing by. He just sat there stupidly, staring blankly in the direction of the boarding gate, as if the awkward silence had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Lu Li felt uncomfortable all over, so embarrassed that he could dig out a large villa with his toes.
"Mr. Chen, why are you practicing in the toilet?" Lu Li asked in a low voice.
He was really curious about this question.
"Well..." Chen Gui pondered for a moment and explained seriously, "I like to be shirtless when I practice, but I can't do that in public, so I had to go to the toilet cubicle."
After hearing this answer, Lu Li didn't know where to start complaining.
Whether it's his habit of practicing shirtless or this seventh-level star card master's excessive attention to the rules of public places, he has his faults.
Lu Li held back his complaints and asked instead, "But aren't you already at the seventh level? Why do you continue to practice?"
Hundreds of years have passed since the first seventh-level star card master came out, and still no one has achieved a higher level. Therefore, the seventh level is recognized by everyone as the pinnacle of star card masters.
Above the seventh level, there is no realm.
"Maybe I'm used to it." Chen Gui said, "But what if there is an eighth level above the seventh level? I think if I can continue to practice every day, it will probably bring me closer to him."
Lu Li was a little moved after hearing this. Perhaps this habit and persistence made him reach the seventh level.
"Mr. Chen." Lu Li asked Dezang again what he had been wondering about all night: "Why don't we attack the Federation directly?"
"We still need to go to DJI to bring someone with us." Chen Gui replied.
"Are you the one who went to the Purgatory Mountains with me to practice?" Lu Li asked curiously.
"Yes." Chen Gui's words were concise and concise, looking like a topic terminator.
He had no choice but to continue the topic: "What kind of person is he? Is he a student of DJI University?"
DJI Academy, along with Xinghai Academy and Imperial Capital Academy, are known as the top three universities in the Eastern Federation. Anyone who attends one of them can be considered a genius star card master. Lu Li subconsciously thought that the other party was a student of this school.
"No." Chen Gui nodded without giving any more information.
Lu Li became even more curious: "So, what is his identity?"
"Well..." Chen Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Seventeen years old, a high school female student."
Lu Li was a little confused.
What the hell is a seventeen-year-old high school student?
"Is she a third-level star card master?" Lu Li asked.
"right."
"Then how did she reach the third level?"
"She is my niece, and our family runs a martial arts gym." Chen Gui explained, "We have practiced in the martial arts gym since we were young."
"Martial Arts School..." Lu Li thought thoughtfully.
The current mainstream combat method of star card masters still relies heavily on martial arts. Therefore, contrary to the decline of blacksmiths, the martial arts industry has risen rapidly in the past century. The Eastern Federation even has several large martial arts gyms that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
During the subsequent chat, Lu Li found the "Stereotype Chat Instructions".
When chatting with this wooden man, you cannot ask "is it true" or "is it true", otherwise the stereotype will only be answered with a simple "yes" or "no".
So in the subsequent chat, Lu Li used more questions to continue the chat between the two.
Unfortunately, Chen Gui was too boring. Even if Lu Li kept looking for topics, there would still be moments of silence when the two of them were chatting.
Fortunately, just when Lu Li was at his wits' end, an announcement sounded to remind passengers to board the plane: "Passengers, please put your belongings into the storage card and wait in line to board the plane. Passengers..."
