Chapter 025: The Investigation Team and the Academy

That man's strength is not below him?

No. 77 knew the meaning behind Chu Yun's words.

Because what Chu Yun symbolizes is not only him, but also the organizational force behind him, the "Investigation Team".

Like the Card Masters Association all over the world, the Investigation Team is a global organization with branches in all major countries, but the names are different.

In the bitter winter of the Northland, they walk through the long night with fire in their hands, and are revered as the 'Night Watchmen'.

In the glorious years, they were guided by the virtues of knighthood and the honor of the cardmaster, and were revered as 'sword bearers'.

There was once a group of chivalrous warriors in Middle-earth who took slaying demons and eliminating demons as their own responsibility; The kingdom of 'Sharo', where the pyramids stand, is also known as the 'Tomb Keepers'.

These ancient titles have passed away with the end of the Age of the Gods.

In today's modern cities, people see them as private detectives or monster scavengers...... In short, the "Investigation Team" is the collective name of these card masters.

"What do you mean?"

No. 77 swallowed his saliva, looked at the indifferent man, and asked cautiously:

"The strength of that macho man is comparable to that of an elite member of the investigation team?"

Chu Yun glanced at him and said that he had come to train as a private person, so don't ask any more.

No. 77 didn't make a sound again, and muttered in his heart:

'This big brother can kill B-rank monsters at the third-order level, so wouldn't the fierce man who collapsed the training room with a knife the day before yesterday also have this kind of strength? ’

Monsters, unlike spirits, are said to have originated from viruses in outer space, and there are theories that monsters were born from the blood of the primordial dragon.

For known monsters, the strength of the Card Master Association is divided into C to S levels.

C-level monsters are recommended to be dealt with by third-order card masters, B-level monsters are recommended to be dealt with by fourth-order players, and so on, S-level monsters are recommended to be solved by sixth-order and above.

However, most of the S-class monsters have special abilities, and there was a huge tsunami in the Golden State of the Federation, and an S-class monster named 'Theseus' set off a flood and engulfed many surrounding cities.

Due to the raging flood, many grandmasters joined hands to no avail, and in the end, one of the countrymen died with Theseus at his own expense.

The Deep Diver is a half-human, half-fish amphibious monster that ranges from C to A and will land at high tide and heavy rain.

The world hates monsters, and after any card master kills a monster, he can use the light curtain record to receive source dust, materials, and card rewards from the card master association.

The indifferent man in front of him, although he was so upset that he even took the cigarette butt upside down, No. 77 still had great respect for him.

Because, the investigation team is an organization with the spirit of the card master and the heroic struggle against the monsters and the card master.

Calming down, Chu Yun exhaled the smoke ring and said in a deep voice:

"Where is the 'macho man' you mentioned, and can I meet him?"

He cherished his talents.

It is already a well-known fact that the personnel of the investigation team have withered.

In the modern era of diversified entertainment methods, few card masters are willing to join the investigation team, and at most accept the commission of the card master association to 'kill monsters'.

Although the chances were slim, Chu Yun still wanted to meet with the 'macho man' and negotiate the price.

In the Federation, righteousness is not noble, but what is noble is cards, materials, source dust, and wealth.

The salaries of the investigation team are actually quite high, but they are less attractive than the risks.

"Meet?" No. 77 scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal this, but if you wait here for ten and a half days, ...... month."

At this time, the hall of the Card Masters Association became noisy, and a colleague waved his hand:

"Hey, there's something going on at the showdown venue!"

Chu Yun stiffened his face and held the mentality of gossip, and came to the 'duel venue' in the backyard of the Card Master Association with No. 77.

The duel venue is a place for the cardmaster to conduct a duel.

The pitch is divided into two square halves, divided by a white line, with a referee in the middle.

Duel modes can be divided into two main categories: Standard Duel (half-turn) and Discord Duel (real-time)

In 'Standard Duel', both Travelers are not allowed to cross their own half, and there will be other turn-based rules for safety and spectacle.

'Honor Duel' or 'Underground Duel', and even the 'Virtual Duel' on the Source World Online, there will not be so many rules, whoever stuns the opponent first wins, so it is collectively called 'Discord Duel'.

Discord duels are often wild and fierce, so some cardmasters despise the standard duels and deride them as "academic showdowns".

However, in recent years, this kind of "academic duel" has gradually become popular, and the disorderly duel of shouting and shouting and killing has declined, which can't help but make some card travelers sigh:

'We are the remnants of the old days......

The venue was surrounded by many good deeds, looking at the two card masters in the center of the venue.

One of the brown haircuts was thin and small, wearing a school robe with gold and silver embroidered trim that was too wide for Honeysuckle University.

Another card master with short red hair has the corners of his mouth raised, and he is wearing a bright red school uniform with a lion embroidered with teeth and claws on his back.

"These two are still top students." The audience exchanged heads.

"A honeysuckle university, a Red Lion Institute of Technology. One tulip is missing, and the three top card master colleges in the federation are all together. ”

"There's a hairy use, I think they haven't even seen monsters with their own eyes."

The noise poured into the ears of the thin boy, he took a deep breath, pushed the round-rimmed glasses, and said with a stumbling and firm voice:

"Gris, please apologize to me, and to my card."

"Apologize?" Gris crossed his arms, "Rogge, in the final analysis, card masters rely on the deck to speak. ”

"A waste card is a waste card, and you are not eligible to join the construction, you can be recruited by Honeysuckle, you should know this very well...... Oh, maybe it's honeysuckle's teacher who didn't read your resume clearly. ”

Honeysuckle and Red Lion, the two universities are already at odds with each other. Tulips sit somewhere in between, swinging.

A federated laugh rang out all around, and Rogge quietly clenched his gloves, holding an ice card between his fingers.

The card is an ugly, cat-like and somewhat dull spiritual object.

【Rabbit Raccoon, Spirit Card】

[Quality: White Normal]

[Rank: 1st Order]

[Talent: Run (Escape success rate greatly increased)]

[Basic moves: Random Scratching, Piercing Scream]

The 'basic moves' of the spirit card are different from the combat skills and characteristics obtained after breaking through the level, and belong to the instinct of the spirit object.

Like Jolena's snowy owl, wing flapping and pecking are all basic moves.

Several experienced card masters outside the arena discussed in a low voice: "The students of Red Lion are not wrong. ”

"Some cards are garbage, useless things!"

"Well, weak cards should be eliminated...... You can't win a duel with emotion alone. ”

No. 77, who was standing on the sidelines, glanced at the indifferent man beside him to see what his reaction was.

However, Chu Yun didn't pay attention to it at all, and the two little children had a meaningless quarrel.

Instead, he set his eyes on a black-haired young man in the crowd.

It was a man with a long build, a hard face, and deep eyes.

When a man like this sits at a street food stall, the proprietress will give him a boiled egg to thank him for serving as a free advertisement.

"This man." Chu Yun pinched the cigarette in his hand, spit out the smoke ring, and said a little depressed and stubbornly: "Compared with what I have." ”

Number 77: ?

Make up shame.

People are much more handsome than you, okay!

Time rewinds and returns to the morning when Lin Xiao just went out.

He wants to go to the Card Masters Association to get a bottle of Green Blessing Mixture to increase the success rate of card making.

Treat yourself to some delicious food on the way, after all, last night's pizza was cold and unpalatable, and then trade the 'keel potion' with Sydney at night.

I went out at the right time, said hello to Mrs. Smith, and waited less than five minutes at the intersection for the scrap truck.

Lin Xiao got into the back seat of the waste recycling truck, blowing the refreshing morning breeze, listening to the sound of the recycling truck's 'clang', all the way past the glamorous babes, the fat lady who turned the hula hoop, and the vest old man who sprinkled the lawn, and arrived at the subway station in about 15 minutes.

Then, he jumped out of the back seat, threw the two star coins into the recycling cart, and patted the old metal shell: "Thank you." ”

The headlights of the recycling truck bounced off and flashed twice, as if it was happily driving away.

It has always spit out Star Coin to residents who sell scrap and receive Star Coins, and this is the first time! (*^β–½^*)

Hop on the train and arrive at the bustling King's Road.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked into the Card Master Association, he saw a large group of people rushing to the backyard, and it seemed that there was a duel about to start.

Speaking of which, Lin Xiao hadn't seen anyone else's duel yet, so she was a little curious, so she came to the backyard to watch.

"So, I'll be the referee."

Lin Xiao saw No. 77, who had a relationship, and took the initiative to ask for help and walked to the center of the venue.

"The card divisions on both sides, Rogge and Gris, are in the form of a standard duel."

"Fixtures are allowed, and the source barrier value is '1000'."

No. 77 held the flag high and waved it down.

"The duel begins!"
