Chapter 81 Bang!
Chapter 81 Bang!
"It was here that the evil that once shrouded the earth in shadow was vanquished by a group of heroes."
"The story ends here, and the hero sleeps in the earth."
He sat on a chair by the bed, under the dim light, and softly read the words in the book.
The little girl who had been clamoring for a bedtime story was no longer the energetic girl she was during the day; she was already drowsy after hearing the story.
"But then..."
It sounded like a murmur, or perhaps like talking in a dream.
"Why must the hero who gave everything sacrifice himself..."
Dissatisfied with the story, the little girl grumbled as she drifted off to sleep.
"Hmm, why..."
He picked up his pen and crossed out the last line at the end of the book.
"Some bored fellow heard the girl's lament and, saying, 'That's not what I want to see,' came before her..."
After a short while, looking at the ending that he had changed beyond recognition, He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I really am a terrible writer."
He closed the storybook titled "Star Relics" and got up to put it back on the bookshelf.
"Which book should I read tomorrow... Hmm, I might as well write a new one."
He pulled the unfinished book, "Fear Peptide," from the bookshelf.
"A raging beast was born from the boy's hands; even this seemingly weak child could have moments of madness when it came to protecting what he held dear..."
-----------------
A minivan carrying 10 people departed from Orses and headed towards the royal city.
"Principal, isn't Teacher Nianzhong with us? Are you sure it's okay for you not to be at school?"
Klaus leaned out of the back seat and looked at Mai in the passenger seat.
"I happen to be going back to the capital soon, so it'll be on my way. As for the school... don't worry, Professor Statter and the others are there."
This is a lie.
Mai was worried that Xing Liang might cause trouble in the capital, so she specifically followed him to keep an eye on him.
In the past, when teachers led groups to the capital, they would either research travel guides or take on purchasing tasks for others. Since they couldn't win anyway, they simply treated it as a publicly funded trip.
But Xing Liang is different.
"Mai, you're a noble, right? Do you know the exact location of the headquarters of the four major families?"
Mai: ?
"I don't even know if we can get into the royal palace... Mai, do you know any secret passages that could be used to infiltrate the palace?"
Mai: ? ? ?
Mai: I feel that my entire clan is in grave danger.
While being held close to Daisy in the back seat, Sera nudged the drowsy Xingya.
"Sister Telancia, isn't the teacher coming with us?"
"Huh? Calling me? No, no, calling Telianxia... Oh right, right, I am Telianxia. You mean Xing... cough, Teacher Nianzhong? He said he would find a way to get there himself and told us to wait for him at the city gate of the royal city."
Xing Ya wiped her drool and said nonchalantly.
"Is there something you need to take care of if you're not with us? Or is there some other plan...?"
"Oh, you mean this? He gets carsick."
"what?"
In this way, a slight crack appeared in the students' hearts regarding Teacher Nianzhong's dignified image.
Xing Liang, wearing sunglasses and flying in the sky aboard Jossenberg's stealth pterosaur, sneezed.
"Are we flying too high? It feels a bit cold. Hmm, I have a bad feeling... Could we be going to crash?"
Man!
He tilted his head and looked down at the ground. From that height, it seemed like he wouldn't even need to be rescued after falling; cremation might be unnecessary.
"For safety's sake, Pterodactyl, reduce your flight altitude."
They moved closer to the ground, eventually maintaining a height at which they could roughly see vehicles driving on the road.
Flying over towns and cities of all sizes, he soon saw the towering walls of the royal city in the distance.
"It looks just like the pictures I found online, so this should be the royal city. Let's land nearby and wait for Xiaoya and the others."
The students and Xing Ya set off a day early, and considering the time it took him to fly over, they should be arriving soon.
After finding a restaurant in the castle town, Xing Liang texted Xing Ya to confirm the meeting place and then started ordering food.
I've had a long and tiring flight, so I'll treat myself to a good meal.
Pterosaur: ?
It's lunchtime now, and there are many people eating in the restaurant, but not many pedestrians on the street.
As if sensing something, Xing Liang, who was eating, looked up and gazed across the street through the shop window.
A boy wearing a feathered headdress stood there blankly, looking across the street into the restaurant. He became somewhat uneasy after noticing Xing Liang's gaze, unsure of how to respond.
It wasn't that they were attracted to each other; it was simply that the boy's attire was too eye-catching.
The streets were filled with various modern and contemporary clothes similar to those on Earth, except for the boy who was dressed in... ethnic style.
Chewing, she glanced at Ding Zhen and realized that he had no money for food.
Xing Liang called the waiter over to reorder and waved to the boy across the street.
The boy looked around, and after confirming that Xing Liang was looking for him, he pointed to himself with one hand.
I?
Xing Liang nodded.
Yes, you.
The boy obediently crossed the street, entered the restaurant, and sat down opposite Xing Liang.
Uh, you didn't even hesitate for a moment?
Seeing Xing Liang's confusion, the young man explained, "I have no money and I look quite ordinary. There's no reason for you to lie to me, sir."
Xing Liang took the dishes that the waiter brought and placed them in front of him.
"I'll take this meal."
Let's just consider it a chance encounter, and that he impulsively offered his help.
The boy did not refuse, nor did he pick up the cutlery. Instead, he took out a deck of cards from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"I cannot accept a free meal without having done something right. Sir, please choose a magic card from my deck to pay for this meal."
He's still a card master, so why is he so... down and out?
Xing Liang understood what was going on.
I guess all the money went to buying cards, which is why they didn't have money for food.
Xing Liang recalled his past self, who ate instant noodles for a month and used the money he saved to buy a card holder, or rather, a digital card holder.
Good news: The funds have been withdrawn.
Bad news: The cheapest one.
One box costs 300 yuan—after opening, it becomes 30 yuan—see you on the rooftop!
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just remembered some bad memories."
Tears flowed down.
Never mind, let's take a look at the deck first.
Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't have any expensive cards.
Turn to the first page, [Black Feather - Phantom of Sudri].
……
Black feather?
He had to sit up and watch this.
Although he can't use the main deck cards in Blackwing's deck, he can add extra cards.
Bring along a [Blackfeather - Lower Moon Light Archer Bird], and pair it with other 8-star characters to create a powerful monster with all resistances, [Blackfeather - Heavy Armored Winged Raven]. Isn't that great?
Hmm, let's try resonating with it first.
In this world, some cards can't be used just because you want to, especially monster cards. If the spirit refuses you, you're not eligible to use them.
Want to force it? You'll have to be able to defeat those spirits first.
The moment Xing Liang activated the power of the spirits, the boy who was eating paused.
"Psychic power..."
"Ah, what did you say?"
Xing Liang looked up and met the dark muzzle of a gun.
The boy was holding a gun in his hand, his finger on the trigger, pointing it directly at Xing Liang's forehead.
"boom!"
(In October, almost all the mainstream items were nerfed, the long-time dead were released, some of the Branded items were unbanned, G was unrestricted, the old super mainstream Conqueror Dragon family was released, and the Sky Thunder was released to level 10... The environment is about to become more diverse.)
(Thunder and Fire: Hi, hello!)
