Late at night, it rained heavily on Queen's Road.

The subway entrance has been closed, Lin Xiao put away the umbrella and got into the back seat of the black car, and reported the destination:

"Across the Star Atlas Bridge, 255th Street, 21B."

Chu Yun sat in the driver's seat, two black gloves clenched the steering wheel, looked at the rearview mirror, and said calmly:

"You're very self-conscious...... Let me, a veteran operator, drive for you. ”

"I don't have a driver's license from Xingtu City, but my driving skills are not bad, why don't you change me?"

"No, sit tight."

Chu Yun stepped on the accelerator, and the black car broke through the rainy night and drove towards the magnificent Xingtu Bridge.

Lin Xiao stared at the black sea outside the bridge through the glass window of the rain curtain Cen Cen, and said:

"What kind of creature is a deep diver?"

"Fish-headed human bodies, scaly and high-ridged, with a body size ranging from half a meter to three meters, ranging from C to A, amphibious, communicate with each other in a language called 'Fish-Man Language'." Chu Yun looked ahead.

"Fish-man language?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but think of the fish-man creatures in World of Warcraft who shouted 'Wow Wow Wow'.

The Deep Diver, he remembers, was a monster from the Cthulhu Mythos.

In World of Warcraft, many of them borrow from the Gram system, and according to Blizzard employees, the Fishmen are derived from Deep Divers.

"Well, a language used by aquatic monsters to communicate, and lobster people are also used in this kind of language......" Chu Yun said in a strange tone, "It is said that there are dialects in the fish-man language, which is really bizarre." ”

"You guy, don't underestimate the Fish-People." Lin Xiao complained.

This is a classic miscellaneous fish monster that haunts various fantasy works and can be compared to slimes and goblins.

"I never despise the enemy...... I'll pick you up tomorrow night and rest early. ”

Boom.

Lin Xiao closed the car door, holding a black umbrella and looking up at the night sky after the rain, the smell of heat and earth wafted away, and the taillights of the old black sedan gradually drove away.

With my strength, it shouldn't be a problem to complete this commission. ’

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, "It's just that you have to be cautious and let Brother Chu Yun take the lead when you go out on a mission." ’

From the heart, it is a science!

Walking into the rental house, the pace was light and went upstairs, Lin Xiao didn't want to disturb other people's rest.

When he came to the second floor, Lin Xiao draped his wet windbreaker on the hanger and relaxed.

The day was full of fun.

First, I went to the Card Makers Association to assess the "Silver Card Maker" and obtained a fifth-order card pattern, which can be used for training card making.

After that, he passed the test of the investigation team, officially became a "junior operator", and found a way to return to Middle-earth and obtain source dust, killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Xiao took off his gloves, a cluster of black flames ignited in his palm, and a card was condensed between his fingers, turning into light particles, and gradually showing a snow-white small seal.

"Ou woo~(*・ω-q)" Daifuku covered his sleepy little black eyes with his flippers.

"Daifuku, let me inhale European gas." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "Help me be promoted to the leader of the sub-group as soon as possible!" ”

"Oh! (σ゚∀゚) σ "Dafu was picked up by Lin Xiao, the short whiskers on both sides of the black nose arched, and he moved his nose and sniffed Lin Xiao.

Suck the mold out of you!

Friday, May 27.

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Lin Xiao was yawning on the wooden bed.

I slept soundly, my source power was fully restored, and the tiredness left over from my body and brain completely dissipated.

What caught his eye was the chubby snow-white little buttocks, and Daifuku had his back to him, lying on the bed playing with the tablet.

"Oh! (✪ω✪)" The little seal waved his little hand.

Wow, I'm a fruit ninja!

Lin Xiao got up and patted the little seal's buttocks, causing Dafu to look resentful, and then browsed the card data.

Thanks to the absorption of the purple resource "Frost Spirit", Daifuku has rapidly increased its rank, and has reached level 15.

Wait until the second order of Daifuku, with its strength, it is enough to go to some dueling clubs to accept the challenge.

Last night, he used his Ice Spear technique to defeat the elite operator 'Grizzly Bear' in the fourth group, and his rank was raised by 1 level to level 31.

'I can always talk to the operators of the fourth group. ’

Lin Xiao thought expectantly: "They are good at [defensive type], they can't be killed, and they can also give me experience points!" ’

The level of the Meteorite Sword is still level 56, and the preparation of materials for the sixth-order breakthrough is also far away, and two purple "dragon bones" have been saved so far.

I hope that this C-level commission can be used to farm purple or gold materials suitable for the Meteor Sword......

Lin Xiao paused and shook his head dumbly.

I think I'm thinking too much.

It's just a C-level task, and it's not an A-level, how can it be possible to brush out golden materials!

I looked at the time, ten o'clock in the morning, and the time to leave the mission was six o'clock tonight.

Lin Xiao came to the card making table and continued to practice the fourth-order pattern, slowly improving his sketching proficiency.

At his current level, he couldn't outline the fifth-order textures, but by observing the exquisite fifth-order patterns, Lin Xiao gained a lot.

Applying the insights gained to the card-making training, Lin Xiao sighed again:

"These fourth-order patterns are really difficult......

However, I was able to sketch 3 fourth-order lines in half an hour.

I don't believe that in one afternoon, I can't fully outline ten stripes! ”

Relying on the deep source power value and long-lasting willpower, Lin Xiao immersed himself in making cards.

Bang, bang, bang... The sound of blank cards being scrapped continued one after another, but fortunately, this kind of blank card for training was very cheap, and a civilian card maker like Lin Xiao could afford it.

Three hours later.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao, who forgot to sleep and eat, wiped the sweat on her forehead, admired the ten sparkling lines in front of her, and was satisfied:

"In this way, today's set of training volume will be considered ......"

A group of training consumed a total of 20,000 source power points, and the efficiency was much higher than yesterday.

By recovering naturally and eating the blue quality "Tuna Fish Cuisine", you can fully recover before the night action, and then make sure that you don't fall down in the C-rank commission.

This is Lin Xiao's "full blood" obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Card workshop.

Shirley sighed lightly: "@柳十三娘, the fourth-order texture is really difficult, I haven't succeeded in outlining it once, and the source power will be exhausted." ”

"These lines are indeed a bit difficult, and it takes a week for graduate students to fully outline the training amount of ten lines."

Liu Sanniang comforted: "So, let's practice slowly." ”

Lin Xiao, who was resting in the water group, couldn't help but be stunned.

How much training is this Nima for a week?

Why don't you make a note in the folder.

I thought it was a one-time training volume.

Hold on to the dizziness and finish it all at once!

It's like the teacher assigns homework, and when you go home and make up for it, you find out that it's a week's worth of homework.

It's not just helpless and funny, but also a sense of satisfaction and achievement.

Lin Xiao sighed for a long time, and posted a big blessing emoji.

Epee Man: "[Leopard Headache Crying] Jpg"

"Why did Brother Dajian post such a cute emoji?" Xue Drink Knife expressed surprise, "This doesn't match your painting style!" ”

"Brother Dao, you are the one with the most bizarre painting style." Wen Tailai was helpless.

Xue Drink Knife made a 'contempt' expression: "Look at the list of groups, gorillas, little raccoons, these are called painting style Qingqi." ”

The ghost bride exclaimed: "It is worthy of being a knife brother, and I am impressed by the accurate opening of more than two groups each time." ”

Snow Drink Knife 'Arch Hand' and 'Tooth Smile': "You're welcome!" ”

"@雪饮刀, the name of my group is clearly Red Panda...", Red Panda was furious, "You gave me a note of 'Little Raccoon', right?" ”

Snow Drinking Knife: "Ah, is there a difference between the two?" ”

"Group member 'Snow Drinking Knife' has been banned by the group leader 'Red Panda' for two hours."

Lin Xiao was stunned.

Actually, I want to ask the same thing as Brother Dao......

But for now, it's better to be free!

Queen's Road, Investigation Team.

The woman in red moved her slender legs, swayed in a light gold high ponytail, her side face was tall and delicate, and her red eyes showed a tenacious gaze.

She stood in front of the oppressive mahogany door, exhaled lightly, and pushed the metal doorknob with both hands.

Beneath the magnificent canvas is a precious writing desk made of rosewood, with a large, shiny table top for documents, and a small Caucasian woman sitting in the boss's chair behind it.

The team leader has deep facial features, a fair face, red hair and fishtail braids hanging down from a full white shirt, and a smile:

"I've heard that you, a top student at Honeysuckle University, signed up for an internship with the investigation team... Jolene Jones, right? ”

Jolena nodded slightly and said, "The rumored investigation team is based on the concept of clearing monsters and card masters, and I am here for this. ”

"Hmm... You're only a freshman, and your father is very famous, so you don't have to work for the investigation team because of your family background. Margaret held her chin in her hands and made a nasal voice.

"I've heard people say that a cardmaster grows either on the road or on the battlefield."

Jolena's red eyes were calm: "If you stop in the wall, you can't see the higher view, and you can't hear the cry farther away...... I've made my choice, so I'm here. ”

"You ......," Margaret paused, with some sigh in her tone, "your Tinder concept, it seems, is far beyond my expectations. ”

"Why, then, can you let me take the risk of being vengeed by Mr. Jones to recruit you?" Margaret crossed her hands.

"I'll convince my father."

Jolena took off her red musk gloves, and a small cluster of golden flames ignited in her palm, condensing an imposing card with sharp red pupils:

"Besides, I'm a fourth-order card master."

Margaret was silent.

With her age, she actually has a fourth-order level, and I don't know how many cruel duels she should have experienced, which is admirable.

And... Golden flames? Legend has it that the fire held by Pharaoh Sharo is golden.

In just two days, two incredible newcomers came.

"My suggestion is to assign you to the eighth group, which is dominated by 'temporary workers.'" Margaret said, "Most of the operators in Group 8 act alone, directly under me, and the risk and reward will be higher, although I don't know what the reward will do for you...... What do you think? ”

Without the awareness to take risks, he will never be able to catch up with the Epee and Roman Ulysses.

Jolena bowed slightly: "I still have studies to juggle, other than that, the commission is arranged by you." ”

"The students of the Karshi College generally practice in large companies and large enterprises." Margaret smiled, "You picked the most unwise internship route...... However, I like you very much, and I can arrange a commission for you now. ”

Jolena was silent, frowning slightly, looking down at the tablet pushed on the table.

"This is a B-level commission, it is recommended that a fourth-order card master take it."

Margaret's eyes were deep, and her tone was warning:

"The poor people who live in the sewers of Xingtu City, also known as the 'sewer clan', have gone missing more than 10 people recently, which is a large number of casualties, but because they are homeless...... So it didn't cause much attention. ”

"Yesterday's heavy rain, three bodies were washed out of the sewer, and they were found by the police at the drain, all of them have the following characteristics: they are described as withered, like dry paper, and the blood is gone."

Jolena's red eyes flickered, and her lips moved slightly: "It's like ......"

Margaret leaned back in the boss's chair, her legs folded, and her tone was flat:

"It's a lot like the bloodlines that are common in fantasy novels, or rather, vampires."
