Chapter 007: Jolene Jones
'Green sunflower' is Jolene's name in the source world, meaning 'thriving sunflower'.
Her full name is Jolene Jones, and her father is Mr. Jolon Jones, a well-known real estate developer in the Federation.
Mr. Jones, a poor nobleman in the Glorious Kingdom, moved his family to the Commonwealth to run real estate, in his words:
"Our family has been gentlemen for generations."
This Mr. Jones is also a legend, born handsome and tall, graduated from Imperial University Law School, and accidentally ignited the fire due to a serious illness to become a card master.
With outstanding academic qualifications, dignified appearance and a famous card master, Mr. Jones should have made steady progress in his glorious career, but unfortunately he has a hobby: he likes wives.
As a result, Mr. Jones has incurred a lot of romantic debts and is a well-known stomach patient in his social circle.
Jolene's birth was a complete accident, as she was the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Jones and a beautiful lady named 'Flora'.
It stands to reason that this daughter is not married yet, not Mr. Jones's XP, but it just so happens that there is a marriage contract in Flora, and she is about to get married in six months!
was cut off halfway by the hero, and it belongs to yes.
In order to maintain their political status, the nobles of the Glorious Kingdom often married families.
Miss Flora was of noble birth and did not even know whether her object was tall or short, fat or thin, male or female, until she was engaged.
And our Mr. Jones can't be said to be a family with four walls, at least it can be said that his sleeves are breezy and his pockets are cleaner than his face.
At this point in the story, I believe that many people can make up the elopement scene between the poor boy and the rich daughter.
Mr. Jones intends to do the same, but any plan must take into account the reality factor.
The reality is that Miss Flora has a grandfather of a slight status - the glorious 'Iron Fist Prime Minister' and 'Chief Card Master' Kevins.
After the scandal of Flora's pregnancy, Kevins was furious, the engagement was annulled, and Flora was given a confinement and vowed not to marry again.
Mr. Jones, because he offended the prime minister, could only take a boat to the Commonwealth overnight, and since then he has washed his hands and started the real estate business, and made a fortune.
Surprisingly, Flora did not kill the child, but secretly sent her daughter to the Royal Female Church College, and named her 'Jolena', hoping that she would grow up to be free like his father.
In any of the Flora's literature, Jolena's existence is not mentioned, and given her maternal great-grandfather's ability to see the sky, it is possible that she just didn't want to pursue it when Jolena didn't exist.
At the Royal College for Women, Jolene learned how to be a lady:
Fights are light, she can use a slingshot to smash a glass window 800 meters away, then pass it on to the kitten, and get out of the way.
The nuns didn't hate this naughty child, for the simple reason that ...... Jolena is smart, nimble, and the key is to be cute.
As a child, Jolena inherited the looks of Mr. Jones and Miss Flora, with blonde gray hair, soft eyebrows and eyes revealing a boyish heroic spirit.
She adopted stray cats in her church, and her biggest hobby every day was to help her cats fight, and losing to stray cats outside of school would make her sad all day.
As the saying goes, there are cats and fields in the school, and life is boundless.
Unfortunately, at the age of twelve, Jolena's mother died, her father was not heard from, and the few maids who knew her background also ran away with money.
Jolena has been helpless since then, and left the school on her own initiative due to the expiration of tuition fees, and has a golden job that has been passed down for a hundred years - Wudu orphans, commonly known as beggars.
On the one hand, there are rich businessmen and the world's largest high-end card trading market. On the other hand, there are many gangs, smuggling is rampant, and cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children with the help of "magic cards" are not uncommon.
However, in just two years, Jolena has been involved in the Fog Capital gang, making her way through the Rapier skills she learned in the church, and teaching herself firearms, daggers, and private gunpowder.
At the age of 14, Jolene lit a fire in the same color as her father, Mr. Jones: a golden flame as beautiful as gold.
It was also in this year that Jolena awakened her talent as a card master, "The heart is like stopping water".
When the card master ignites the fire, there is a small chance that he will awaken exclusive talents, which symbolize the card master's innate ability, spirit and faith.
Although Jolena was of noble birth, she never enjoyed a day of fine food and clothing; Although she was at the bottom, she always remembered the teachings of her mother, who could not remember her face:
"Jolena, you're going to be the wind that is free."
It is this freedom, romance and pride engraved in her bones that has made Jolena grow up to this day.
With the power of "Tinder", Jolena won the duel after duel, and single-handedly curbed the encroachment of the Wudu gang on the elderly, women and children.
And in the form of a firecracker, a rapian, and a pirate hat, she became the 'pirate queen' spread by everyone in the underground of the fog capital.
That year, Jolena was 16 years old.
Mr. Jones, who was nearly fifty years old, had a thriving business in the Commonwealth, and learned that he had a daughter from a maid who came to his door to blackmail.
That night, Mr. Jones stayed up all night, and the next morning he took a ferry back to the foggy capital after his long absence.
Many years ago, he graduated from Imperial University and saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day. Many years later, he was no longer married, and he only wanted to see his own daughter.
Witnessed by the Fog Gang, Mr. Jones and Jolena have a card duel,
In the end, Mr. Jones defeated his daughter at the cost of serious injuries.
Jolene also agreed to return to the Federation with her father on only one condition: Mr. Jones would unconditionally support her and become the Federation's 'Chief Card Master'.
Jolena has seen the misery at the bottom of the fog capital, seen the prosperity of the upper class of the Federation, and has the desire to improve the status quo at the bottom.
Just like her talent as a card teacher, Jolena's heart was like water and she set her own dream:
"Be the unparalleled national warrior of the Free Commonwealth."
'Warrior of Nations' is the honorific title of the chief card master of a country, and each kingdom will only have one 'Warrior of Nation'.
And the card masters who can be called 'unparalleled in the country' are all seventh-order without exception.
Therefore, the seventh-order card master is also respected by the world as a 'national scholar'.
In order to become a 'Warrior of the Kingdom', Jolena needs to use all the powers she can use.
She was admitted to the famous federal school 'Honeysuckle University', registered a source world account, and paid attention to the information of card masters around the world in real time.
With Jolena's current strength as a fourth-order card master, she is fully qualified to enter the advanced channel.
But she still likes to stay in the low-level channels, perhaps because it reminds her of some of the foggy past.
Today's wind is very noisy, and it is said that there is a fourth-order card master who swaggers through the market.
Jolene saw the man in the hall: dressed in pitch-black armor and wearing a steel helmet, he stopped and looked around.
He doesn't seem to know much about the low-level channels, which reminds Jolena of her first visit to the Source World.
'Fourth-Order Card Master. Jolena thought to herself, 'Maybe you can invite him to challenge that dungeon......
Quests are an important mechanic of the source world.
Card masters can enter the [Dungeon] through the teleportation circle of the source world, defeat the monsters and bosses inside, and obtain rewards such as materials and cards.
If the card master fails to challenge the dungeon, there will be a death penalty, and the source power and card level will be slightly reduced, as if it has been absorbed......
Countless card masters complained to the Spark Group because of this, but the reply was 'this is part of the game mechanics'.
I almost didn't say, 'Don't play if you're not happy'.
Jolena's cards are out-of-shape, and she needs to find a defensive teammate, and the heavily armed man in front of her looks just right.
The epee has no edge......
After the greetings, Jolena learned the man's ID, nodded politely, and asked:
"Need help?"
The man's voice hidden under the helmet was muffled: "I want to know what level the 'Carager's Duel' is on. ”
"Layer 7." Jolene crossed her arms and looked up and down, "You're in good shape." ”
"Thank you." The man replied, "Your image is also beautiful. ”
"Maybe I'm a three-hundred-pound fat man under my helmet?"
Jolena was slightly bored.
Growing up, Jolena was accustomed to hearing praise for her appearance, and the praise of women by the Wudu gang was somewhat contemptuous and frivolous.
So Jolena doesn't like people to judge her appearance - although pride pushes her to be disciplined and never let her body fat go beyond the slightest.
As for why you log in with your personal avatar...... Jolena didn't want to waste time on such a boring thing as 'hiding her image', even if it would attract enemies, she still didn't care.
"Three hundred pounds." The man asked rhetorically, "So what." ”
Jolena raised her red pupils, and a trace of surprise crossed her eyes.
Lin Xiao turned his head to look at the bustling players in the hall, those personal images with different styles were like containers, loaded with all kinds of souls.
No matter because of appearance, family background, or personality, under any circumstances, Lin Xiao will not casually belittle a person, so as to gain superiority and complacency.
"Not everyone in this world has good conditions."
Lin Xiao looked back at Jolena, her gaze simply stopped at her long snow-white legs, as if she was imagining something, and said in a deep voice:
"For your health, of course...... Three hundred pounds is time for proper exercise. ”
