Chapter 164: Return to the Ancient Capital

After the report meeting, Ye Chengming walked out of the lecture hall.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Great Wall of Heaven for a moment, his eyes changing imperceptibly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The soldiers around him didn't bother, just chatted quietly on the sidelines.

In the middle of the ring, Ye Chengming retracted his gaze and asked a person beside him:

"Yu Cang is still an official card maker?"

"Yes." The man nodded, "He hasn't come to the association to participate in the card-making master's assessment." ”

“…… Outrageous. Ye Chengming shook his head, "A card maker who won the first place in the armament overhaul is not even a master, how bad it is to get out." A talent like Yu Cang doesn't have to go through those processes and waste other people's time...... After you go back, you go to communicate and send a grandmaster's certificate directly to Yu Cangde. ”

"Grandmaster?" The man hesitated, "Isn't the Grandmaster...... Something too rushed? Now it seems that Yu Cang is not very skilled in making heirloom soul cards. Even if it's a formal assessment, it shouldn't be able to pass......"

"Sooner or later." Ye Chengming didn't care, "The assessment of the association is too time-consuming, they are all useless topics, rather than letting Yu Cang waste time on this, it is better for us to solve it directly for him." ”

“…… Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back. ”

"As soon as possible."

……

Yu Cang returned to the stronghold, took a shower, and then returned to bed comfortably.

After thinking about it, Yu Cang launched an entry extraction against Yujiang City, and as a result, a six-hour countdown came out...... There will be an epic.

At the time of extracting the entry, he took out the mustard seed flying Gu given by Miao Xue and looked at it carefully.

Soul Card Name: Mustard Seed Flying Sky Gu

Category: Summoning Cards

Quality: Rare

Attribute: Null

Race: Bug

Ability:

[Shadowless]: The Mustard Seed Flying Sky Gu is not easy to perceive, and can disguise itself to a certain extent.

[Shapeshift]: You can take the initiative to make the Mustard Flying Gu enter the death cooldown, and make the Soul Card Master appear in the location of the Mustard Flying Gu.

[Far Sky]: After leaving the Soul Card Master's control range, the Mustard Flying Sky Gu can still be manipulated normally, but at this time, any active effects will need to consume extra time to channel.

It's a simple three effects, but when combined, it's very useful.

Yu Cang tried to activate this soul card, the bursts of light dissipated, and a small insect appeared in the palm of his hand.

The bug was about the size of a thumb, and its body was translucent, like a wriggling gel, and a touch of silver fluorescence flowed in it, which looked crystal clear and very beautiful.

Yu Cang activated the ability [Shadowless], and suddenly, the silver light in the body of the Mustard Flying Sky Gu quickly dimmed, and the already translucent body became even more transparent, as if it had disappeared into the air.

But the touch of the palm told Yu Cang that the little insect was still in place.

As soon as his mind moved, the mustard seed flying sky Gu flew from the palm of his hand into the air, swimming freely in the air.

Yu Cang then manipulated the little insect to fly to the door, and then launched [Far Sky], and in the next second, he only felt a flower in front of him, and the whole person instantly changed positions.

Yes, that's great.

Yu Cangyuan called it the technique of flying thunder insects.

After trying it a few more times, the ability of this mustard seed flying Gu was basically familiar to me.

Yu Cang is now manipulating ordinary summon cards, and the effective control distance is about two hundred meters, and the soul cards of the mechanical clan may be a little farther away. Within this range, the [Far Space] of the Mustard Flying Sky Gu could be said to be activated instantaneously without any delay.

But a little farther away, it will take a certain amount of time to guide you...... Moreover, the Mustard Seed Flying Sky Gu did not share a field of vision, and it was too far away, and the teleportation landing point was not easy to control.

Although this soul card can only be summoned once to enter the death cooldown, the death cooldown time of the Zerg soul card is generally very short, so the frequency of use is actually quite considerable, even in the fierce soul card master duel, it can be used very frequently.

Relatively speaking, this soul card has an effect on him, but it is not that big, if it is used by a melee soul card master like Gu Jieshuang, it will be very suitable.

Of course, he also thought about it, this was a gift from Miao Xue, and he would never transfer someone else's gift to another person.

It's a big deal to wait until I make a similar card in the future, and then equip Gu Jieshuang.

After confirming the effect of the Mustard Flying Sky Gu, Yu Cang received it into the card deck - this card is very versatile, and it will hardly repel other soul cards in the same deck, at least for Cang's current card deck, there is no burden.

After dealing with these, Yu Cang took out a bunch of blank soul cards.

Well...... Finally finished the armament overhaul, so a soul card that had been delayed for a long time also had time to do it.

Although this soul card may not be useful, it is still very important to Cang.

……

meanwhile

Dangerous place: Liegong Ancient Cave

It is an ancient tomb that is presumed to date back to the time of Wu Tianzi.

For some reason, the martyrs in the ancient cave of Liegong gave birth to their own consciousness and became desolate beasts under the infection of the desolate, and for thousands of years, they have been wandering in this labyrinth-like underground without stopping.

At the moment, somewhere in a small burial chamber at a shallow level.

It was supposed to be a small room, with walls and floors made of moss-covered stone slabs, but at the moment, everything here was covered with a layer of frost.

Several shriveled undertakers froze in the ice with their teeth and claws, in various poses, some of them still rolling their eyes, apparently not dead, but they could do nothing under the constraints of this hard ice.

The only places here that weren't covered in ice were probably the oil lamps on the walls that glowed miserably.

In the center of this ice and snow world, a shadow is sitting on a frozen coffin, looking at the personal terminal in his hand, and smirking vigorously.

"Hey...... So handsome......" Gu Xie Shuang covered his face with one hand, and as soon as his breath came out of his nose, it condensed into a little bit of crystal ice chips under the action of low temperature.

The light in the burial chamber was a little dim, and because of this, the light of the screen of her personal terminal in her hand was quite bright, but when the light shone on her face from the bottom up...... It's a little scary.

But Gu Jieshuang obviously didn't notice it.

At this moment, what she is watching in her personal terminal is the photo of Yu Cang receiving the medal at the report meeting.

It's nice to stand on such a big stage and be bathed in the lights...... It's a pity that at such an important moment, she was not by the boss's side.

But it doesn't matter, she will be there for all such occasions in the future!

With a slight flick of her fingers, Gu Xie Shuang changed to the next photo, but the picture she saw made her brows furrow slightly.

Who is this woman next to the boss!

What, what kind of eyes are that!

Her heart suddenly felt a little uneasy...... It's bad, the boss is such an excellent person, where can his peers resist, the boss goes out, there must be many people eyeing him......

What to do, what to do.

Gu Xie Shuang bit her lip.

Although she has made an appointment with Yu Cang, but now she and him are nameless after all, if Yu Cang is abducted by others, she has no way at all......

For a while, Gu Jieshuang's heart couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

She swiped down, only to find that after the photo, there was a voice bar.

Voice? What is Lin Yunqing doing when he sends a voice to himself.

Confused, she put the terminal next to her ear and clicked on the voice.

However, what came out was a familiar male voice:

"Frosting, this is a friend I met for two days, it's very interesting to say, when I first came to Yujiang, one of her brothers still wanted to play Gu on me......"

Wait a minute!

It's the boss's voice!

Gu Jieshuang took a breath and secretly said that it was not good.

It's bad, doesn't the boss use Lin Yunqing's terminal to send a voice message to himself...... I asked Lin Yunqing to secretly photograph the boss, and it has been discovered!!

Gu Jieshuang's face couldn't help but flush, and she hurriedly buried her small face bag behind her knees, but her hand was reluctant to remove the terminal from her ear.

The voice note was very long, and Yu Cang's voice was always smiling, telling him all the causes and consequences of knowing Miao Xue, including the purpose for her to come to him in the end, and the gift she gave herself.

“…… Well, that's it. ”

Beep –

The voice bar ended, Gu Jieshuang took the screen to his eyes and looked at it, and after confirming that there was no new news, he put away the terminal.

It didn't take long, I don't know what came to mind, and she couldn't help but laugh.

The boss is really ...... It makes people feel safe.

After being silly on the spot for a while, Gu Jieshuang reluctantly put away his expression, and then jumped lightly from the coffin, walked straight past several martyr ice sculptures, and came to another tomb.

There were two people in this tomb, and when one of them saw Gu Jieshuang coming, he raised his head and frowned, "What's the matter, is there any movement over there?" ”

"No, it's safe." In front of people, Gu Jieshuang's expression habitually cooled, "I came to confirm that I can go back tomorrow, right?" ”

"This ......" The man was silent for a moment, not speaking.

And a bald head sitting cross-legged on the ground opened his eyes at this moment, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, and he looked quite terrifying.

He spoke, "...... Rest assured, tomorrow will definitely be over. ”

"You've been saying that for three days."

The armament overhaul is over, the boss is definitely coming back soon, she must go back quickly, and she has to find time to get rid of the smell of dead corpses on her body.

"It's real this time, I've got the rhythm I wanted...... As for exceeding the agreed time, I will add money to you according to the contract. ”

“…… Good. Gu Xie Shuang nodded.

On this trip, she accepted the employment of a folk card maker to protect him into the periphery of the ancient cave of Liegong to resonate.

No way, the boss owes too much money, and she has to take on some private work to earn a little extra money.

Moreover, the Liegong Ancient Cave is the same undead danger as the real dragon death, although the former is far less dangerous than the latter, but it can also play a certain reference role to a certain extent.

She was preparing for the death of the real dragon in advance.

Merely......

Gu Jieshuang looked at the bald card maker with a little disgust in his eyes.

This guy came to such a dangerous place just to create a few new rare-level soul cards...... Even if you don't forget it, this level of resonance took nearly a week.

It's so bad compared to the boss!

Although she knew that there were definitely not many geniuses like the boss, no matter how bad it was, she had to have the resonance speed of Lin Yunqing...... After all, Lin Yunqing is just an official card maker, and you, the bald head, are already card makers.

It's too vegetable.

Accustomed to seeing Yu Cang's rare epic abilities at her fingertips, she now looks at these ordinary card makers like elementary school students.

But fortunately, the remuneration given by the bald head is quite considerable, and counting the part of the default, she can earn tens of thousands of dollars in this week...... It's not much, after all, this time, it didn't go too deep and it wasn't particularly dangerous.

Well, in this way, the money you owe to your boss can be repaid by more than one thousandth!

Congratulations!

The bald card maker glanced at Gu Jieshuang with some confusion.

How does it feel like she looks down on herself?

…… Forget it, it should be an illusion, after all, I don't plan to owe my wages.

He couldn't help but touch the door of his shiny head.

……

The next day

Yu Cang got up early, and when he was washing, he glanced at the entry recorder casually.

Yesterday's extraction has results:

After extracting the entries, you can obtain the historical poems: [City], rare entries: [Guardian], and common entries: [Desolate]

It looks pretty good, especially the [city], it's very interesting at first glance.

As usual, he tried to implant them one after the other, but when they all failed, he put them aside for the time being.

After breakfast, Yu Cang took the chess pieces to the admission bureau.

Although Yu Cang didn't want to see Cheng Mingye, after all, the matter of chess had been resolved, and the weeping girl was also thanks to his help, so when he returned the soul card of the Admission Bureau, he still reluctantly went to see him and said goodbye to him.

"Alright, let's go." Cheng Mingye sat on the chair and turned around slowly, his eyes kept staring at the information in his hand, "Just don't die outside." ”

“…… Then I'm gone. Yu Cang sighed, there was no surprise at Cheng Mingye's attitude, he turned his head again, and said, "Dr. Ji, I've caused you trouble during this time." ”

"It's fine." Dr. Ji said with a smile, "Yu Cang, you are mentally prepared, as long as you still plan to bring the chess pieces, we will meet again." ”

Yu Cang didn't say anything, just nodded: "Hmm." ”

The chess piece still carries the monitoring watch on his wrist, and in the future, every time the chess piece is used, it will be recorded by the watch, and then uploaded to the association, and once something is wrong, someone will immediately take the chess away.

The girl stood beside Yu Cang and said crisply: "Thank you, Uncle Cheng!" Thank you Grandpa Ji! ”

Dr. Ji smiled and nodded, but Cheng Mingye didn't react at all.

Maybe in his heart, the chess piece is always just a forbidden card - at most, it is Yu Cang's forbidden card.

Although she has been here many times, it can be seen that Qi'er is still a little scared, but today, she just kept biting her lip and putting her hand behind her back, without taking Yu Cang's hand.

The chess piece admits punishment!

Yu Cang handed over the Passage Soul Card to Dr. Ji, turned around and left the Admission Bureau.

He is not from the Admission Bureau, so naturally it is impossible for him to carry this pass soul card.

In fact, the alley where he entered the Admission Bureau was just a temporary entrance, and after Yu Cang's affairs were completed, that entrance would be invalid, and Yu Cang could only apply again if he wanted to enter the Admission Bureau again.

After everything was processed, Yu Cang took a military plane and flew all the way back to the ancient capital.

On the plane, he learned that Wu Chutai was unbearable and returned to the imperial capital directly last night.

Yu Cang couldn't help but smile and shook his head, seeing that this former mentor of his own was so embarrassed, he suddenly felt a little unaccomplished for this kind of person...... However, the mood is indeed a lot better.

It's just a pity that I didn't see Duan Feng this time.

Yu Cang thoughtfully.

On the way back to Jiangcheng from the outpost, he heard Jiang Shan talk a lot about Duan Feng, and probably understood the basic information of his opponent.

It stands to reason that since the four major families regard Duan Feng as the banner of cohesion, shouldn't Duan Feng be allowed to come in person for such a show.

After all, this is something that will really increase your prestige in the army...... And if you get the first place in your project, it's not good that you're not there when the military merit is awarded.

If you don't do it well, it will have the opposite effect.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Yu Cang could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.

……

Imperial capital

A study.

A man with a serious face sat in a chair, flipping through the pages of the information in his hand, and the more he looked, the deeper his brow wrinkled.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

The man didn't speak, still looking at the information in his hand. When he finally finished flipping through it, he threw the materials across the table.

"Enter."

Squeak –

The door was pushed open, and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the study and bowed his head slightly: "The head of the house, are you looking for me?" ”

Duan Zhang raised his chin: "Look at this document." ”

The man in the suit approached and did as he was told.

Duan Zhang continued to speak: "Wu Chutai didn't get the first place in the armament overhaul, I really misjudged him...... Leave this old crap aside for now. You see who snatched the first place of Feng'er this time. ”

The man in the suit frowned slightly: "...... Yu Cang? ”

"There's one thing I want to know." Duan Zhang's eyes fell on the man in the suit, which actually made his body tremble, "At the beginning, your think tank clearly told me that with this Yu Cang's character and background, staying in Feng'er's laboratory would only lead to lifelong twists and turns, and the best way to deal with it was to drive him back to the ancient capital...... Now, how could this Yu Cang jump on my face again? ”

At the beginning, they decided to kick Yu Cang out of the Imperial Capital University, which was naturally not a matter of deciding as soon as their brains were hot.

In fact, as early as when Yu Cang joined Wu Chutai's laboratory, they conducted a detailed analysis of Cang's personality, background, and behavior patterns, and finally came to the conclusion that Yu Cang probably would not be willing to be subordinated to others, and it was not suitable for him to become Duan Feng's "friend".

On Duan Feng's journey to becoming a myth, every friend he knows and everything he has experienced has been designed by the Duan family's special think tank, and there will be no mistakes, and Duan Feng's image and personality will definitely be flawless.

In their eyes, Yu Cang is a variable.

Originally, it was okay that the well water did not interfere with the river water, but Yu Cang actually made a very important improvement to the Dragon of Light and Shadow card deck - in the Duan family's opinion, the improvement of the Dragon of Light and Shadow could only be completed by Duan Feng, the user!

Therefore, they decided to kick out Yu Cang directly - in the calculation of the Duan family's think tank, there will definitely be no problems with this approach, with Yu Cang's character, after returning to the ancient capital, he will definitely want to return to the imperial capital with his own efforts, this goal will definitely not be completed in a short time, and when Yu Cang really comes up with results, the imperial capital has already become a general trend, and Yu Cang's people are soft-spoken, and it will not affect anything.

Although Ren Zheng stood behind Yu Cang, first of all, Ren Zheng himself also hoped that Yu Cang would come back from the imperial capital, and Ren Zheng would react to their approach, but the reaction would definitely not be particularly large. Moreover, Ren Zheng couldn't get out of the ancient capital, so he couldn't affect their plans in a short period of time.

What's more, they also have a mythical Zhenguo on their side, and it is not in vain to fight if they really want to fight.

When the layout is completed, a town and a country, they don't pay attention to it.

Originally, this is how things should have got.

Who knows, after Yu Cang returned to the ancient capital, he was so fierce, and suddenly came up with such an exaggerated achievement as the mechanical clan...... It's like a hanging.

If he is left untreated, this will definitely be a big stain on Duan Feng's life experience!

"I ......" a lot of cold sweat has oozed from the forehead of the man in the suit unconsciously, "or I'll go and ...... this"

"Are you stupid?" Duan Zhang laughed angrily, "Let's not talk about how you moved Yu Cang under Ren Zheng's nose, the current Yu Cang is the owner of the Yanhuang Medal, you dare to move him?" ”

The man in the suit stopped talking, but the cold sweat kept flowing.

Duan Zhang looked away: "...... Forget it, I don't expect you to say anything useful either. Go back to your think tank, and I'm going to see a plan that works before tonight, understand? ”

"Okay......" The man in the suit finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Duan Zhang suddenly said, "I've told Feng'er about the new arrangements, what did he say?" ”

"This ......" the man in the suit looked a little hesitant, "the young master still behaved very resistantly, and pushed away everything that could be pushed away......"

"Then find someone to replace you, as long as the name can be hung up." Duan Zhang said, "Feng'er has to take care of cultivation, and there really isn't that much time, so be flexible when you arrange." ”

"Yes...... But the head of the family, I think the young master seems to be very disliked by some of the arrangements, or you can talk to him in person......

"I'll go when I have time." Duan Zhang waved his hand, "Okay, Feng'er is not a child anymore, he can tell who is good to him." Go down, I have something to attend to. ”

"Yes, Master."

The man in the suit bowed down and left the study.

After he left, Duan Zhang leaned his body against the backrest, rubbing his eyebrows with two fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

Click, click, click......

The fluttering of the second hand of an old-fashioned clock rings regularly throughout the room, until at one point the minute hand suddenly moves forward.

Duan Zhang then opened his eyes.

The break ends.

took out another document from the side, Duan Zhang frowned slightly, and read it carefully.

(End of chapter)
