Chapter 005: Playing cards is all about smiling
The Levitanya Building is located on Seikin Street, the 'financial lifeblood of the Federation'. Business elites and securities dealers come and go there, and there are often high-level card masters.
Lin Xiao had to go back to the company in the afternoon to go through the resignation procedures, and then take the subway to the commercial street to buy a set of game equipment from the source world.
Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.
When Lin Xiao went downstairs, he happened to run into the landlord who lived on the first floor. The building is divided into two floors, the upper floor is rented, and the downstairs landlord lives by himself.
Her narrow "kitchen" at the top of the staircase is really just a stove to cook stews.
The oil smoke drilled into the corridor vigorously, and the dancing open flame and the cardboard box next to it made Lin Xiao tremble when he saw it.
"Lin Xiao."
Mrs. Smith has always found the names of the tenants upstairs to be tongue-in-cheek, and her personality is withdrawn and not easy to get close to.
The old lady was still kind and said gently, "The stew I just made, yellow curry, onion rings, ham and meat...... Do you want to try it? β
"The stew is delicious." Lin Xiao smiled, "But no need, thank you, I have something to go out now." β
"In addition, if necessary, I will bring you a "stove card", so that there will be no risk of fire, and it is more convenient to store."
The "Stove Card" is a zero-tier card used in the life field, which cannot be upgraded, and relies on the "First-Order Source Power Card" as the main energy source for manifestation.
It will cost more than an old-fashioned cooktop, and the advantages are that it is safe, does not need to be cleaned, is easy to organize, and is more cost-effective.
There are many zero-level cards similar to this kind of application in the field of life, and there are many in Bluestar, and the cards are therefore integrated into every link of life.
The old lady lifted her reading glasses.
She was surprised to feel that Lin Xiao looked different today.
Is it more cheerful? Or is it a smile on his face, which makes people feel intimate at a glance?
"Stove card, that would be very expensive, I think it's still old-fashioned and convenient."
"No, I'll sell it to you for an employee...... There will be no chance in the future. β
Lin Xiao thought that he could earn a few hundred star coins in the end: "I will resign from Levithana today." β
The old lady pursed her lips and didn't ask, it was not easy to find a job this year, and she was a little worried about Lin Xiao.
"You bring a "stove card" and I'll try it, and I'll buy it if it's easy to use...... And also. The old lady nodded and said, "Lin Xiao, you are quite suitable for a smile." β
"Sell cards with a smile." The old lady added.
Lin Xiao really did sales work, and smiled politely:
"Thank you, good morning, good afternoon, good night."
With Lin Xiao's appearance, Gu Tianle, whose smile can be substituted for Gu Tianle at his peak, belongs to the killing of men, women and children, and is a little short of readers.
Whether it's playing cards or living, bring a smile to your face.
This is Lin Xiao's life creed.
He yearns for life β Thursdays at KFC, half-price chips at the commissary, and fries at the dock.
To sum up, Lin Xiao is a positive and optimistic sunny boy.
Hearthstone Legends' favorite deck is Dirty Mu, the favorite martial artist who fights the Three Kingdoms Killing is Xu Sheng, and the favorite hero who plays LOL is Stealing Taliu Sein......
Friends praised him, it was a miracle that he was not killed by netizens online.
Get out of your rental and get some fresh air.
Lin Xiao looked up at the gray sky.
At the far end of the city, tall buildings are lined with frighteningly large billboards, shuttle jets fly through the sky, and the duplex overpass is dazzling.
On the west bank of the Rosen River, the city of Xingtu is known as the "Upper City", an economic center and a bustling business district.
As for the east bank of the Rosen River, it is where it is, landfills, welfare housing, community schools...... A place called "Lower Town" that divides more than 200 streets.
For some reason, Lin Xiao suddenly missed the fragrance of rice wafting in the wind in front of the welfare home, and recalled what a sage surnamed Xiao had said.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor of the young, don't bully the middle-aged poor, don't bully the poor of the old, the dead are the greatest!

In the afternoon, Lin Xiao completed the resignation procedures from Leviathanya Company.
For Lin Xiao's resignation, my colleagues are very sorry, because a person who can really make cards is leaving.
The manager did not keep Lin Xiao. There were many times when he wanted to tell Lin Xiao that he didn't have to work so hard, but he still stopped.
This time, Lin Xiao took the initiative to resign, and the manager was happy for him.
"Change to a better job, you are a graduate of Honeysuckle High School, there is no need to stay here."
The manager patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and handed over a "stove card".
"This "stove card" should have been scrapped and defective, and it should be repaired at your level, so I won't charge you money......"
Lin Xiao has gained a lot of repair knowledge from the predecessor, and can appreciate the manager's care for the predecessor.
This "stove card" is repaired and sold to Mrs. Smith for 200 Star Dollars.
Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude, the manager nodded slightly, and sincerely staffed up.
"Have you found a good next home for job hopping?"
"Not yet, I'm going to try my luck in the Source World." Lin Xiao said.
"Source World." The manager said, "It's true that many card masters have made a fortune in the virtual world. But you shouldn't have the equipment yet, right? β
"I recommend going to the Spark Direct Camp on Fifth Avenue, which is a little more expensive and safe. You know, those second-hand virtual pods are so risky that sometimes even home addresses can be leaked......"
Xinghuo directly belongs to Xinghuo Group, which is the company that issued 'Source World'.
It mainly sells ancillary products of the source world, such as eyepieces, virtual helmets, virtual cabins, and so on.
Lin Xiao came to the bustling Fifth Avenue, walked into the simple and high-end store, and purchased a basic virtual cabin under the recommendation of the clerk.
The price of this set of equipment is 8888, and the "door-to-door cash" service requires another 300 star coins.
"There is no need for door-to-door service, I am a card master."
Young and handsome card master...... No wonder you can manifest it yourself......
The beautiful eyes of the young lady of the clerk bloomed with a hint of brilliance, and her tone was a little softer, leading Lin Xiao to sign a few terms.
"That." The clerk's young lady looked at Lin Xiao's side face who was seriously signing the contract, her two long black silk legs were close together, her body leaned forward, the fragrance was refreshing, and her hands stroked her long hair to the side of her ears, "I... Leave work at eight o'clock..."
"Awesome." Lin Xiao admired and stretched out his hand to return the signed contract.
The welfare of Xinghuo direct camp is good, I can get off work at 8 in the evening, and I have to work overtime until the early hours of the morning every day when I am doing planning.
The clerk smiled politely, encapsulated the "virtual cabin card", and handed it to Lin Xiao with both hands.
That night, Lin Xiao handed the repaired "stove card" to Mrs. Smith. The old lady gave a thumbs up after trying it, and Lin Xiao was exempted from a week's rent.
"200 star coins for a week's rent, I earned it." Lin Xiao said in his heart.
Coming to the small pavilion upstairs, Lin Xiao vacated the open space, embodied the virtual cabin, and operated step by step according to the light screen projected by the instruction card.
"It worked."
Lin Xiao looked at the bright silver virtual cabin, his eyes lit up, "Next, just lie on it and put on a helmet." β
Entering the virtual world for the first time, I was a little excited.
Lin Xiao calmed down, lay down in the virtual cabin, and put on a helmet with an eyepiece.
Gradually, the bright silver virtual pod emits light, scanning past the body, and the eyepiece glows with a high-tech red light.
"Connect, Launch." Lin Xiao said.
After a while, a white light bloomed in front of me, which was a bit similar to the feeling of the last time I switched to the gacha interface.
As she gradually adapted, Lin Xiao found herself in a pure white space: a "source world" created by virtual reality technology.
The silver-white walls were extremely avant-garde, and Lin Xiao stood in the center of the room, wearing a Logo T-shirt given by the source world.
In front of Lin Xiao's eyes, a light curtain appeared.
[Dear card master, it has been detected that you have not registered a source world account, whether you can register with one click.] γ
Lin Xiao clicked OK, and after just a few seconds, the text changed again.
[Your Source World account has been registered, please confirm your personal image and username.] γ
A mirror appears in front of you, and the mirror shows various data, which can pinch your face, but some good-looking face data and fashions need to be unlocked for a fee.
In the paid data, Lin Xiao even saw the Hulk, the octopus ancient god, the avatar, the yellow sponge, and the pink starfish......
Lin Xiao rubbed her chin, feeling that her face could only be turned ugly, and she couldn't do it.
Looking at the palm of his hand, Lin Xiao found that he could still mobilize the power of 'Tinder'.
"Card Armament." Lin Xiao said, "Armed possession!" β
Boom!
A big man in black and gold armor with a giant sword on his back, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a helmet, stands tall in front of the mirror.
γTesting... After the inspection, whether to select the image as your personal image. γ
"It's really possible." Lin Xiao was surprised, "Sure." β
Armed Possession is an ability that can only be mastered by fourth-tier diamond-level card masters.
When they enter the Source World, they often choose to appear in that image as well.
One is to show strength, the other is to save trouble, and the possession image of the third source world does not consume source power and is handsome.
[Please enter your ID.] γ
Lin Xiaoshan grasped the hilt of the sword, carried the bladeless heavy sword on his shoulder armor, and fell into thought, the red lines of the pitch-black sword body were burning, announcing that the Falling Star Sword had long been hungry and thirsty.
Bang dang!
The heavily armored man rested the Meteor Sword on the floor, his palms folded against the end of the hilt. Lin Xiao said:
"The sword has no edge."
