Chapter 165: Small gathering, power robot arm

After getting off the military plane, Yu Cang said goodbye to the soldiers of the second company and took a special car back to the ancient city.

At this time, it was already afternoon.

squeak--

The military vehicle stopped in front of Yu Cang's checkpoint factory, and Yu Cang and the other two got off one after another.

"Thank you for your hard work, Squad Leader Fang." Yu Cang waved towards the driver's cab.

Fang Pei raised his hand, gave Yu Cang a thumbs up, then stepped on the accelerator and left.

He didn't have much time to leave the military area, and after sending Yu Cang back, he had to hurry back.

"Senior." Lin Yunqing raised his head and looked at the scene in front of him with some curiosity. "Is this your card-making room?"

It can be seen that this store is already old, but the decoration is very exquisite, and a large number of wooden structures are used in key parts, giving people a feeling of time accumulation.

At this moment, there was a sign hanging on the door, which read:

The boss is out for a few days. If you have any questions, please call: 733255179~

But it seems that the door is obviously not locked, so it seems that Gu Jieshuang should be here.

"Yeah." Yu Cang nodded. "How about coming in and sitting for a while?"

He turned around and saw that the exploration equipment store next door had closed down. It seemed that Shen Zheng would never be able to come back.

"I'd better go back..." Lin Yunqing was about to refuse, but changed his mind.

Well, it seems like I was punished and can’t study today... It seems I can’t do anything in the lab then.

So she changed her tone and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

"It's okay." Yu Cang smiled. "By the way, why don't we call Jiang Lou and the others over as well? It's a good opportunity for us to have a small gathering."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Um."

Yu Cang pushed open the door, and the door rang the bell hanging above, which immediately made a crisp sound.

Then, a series of footsteps were heard rushing down from upstairs. Not long after, Gu Jieshuang's figure appeared at the stairs.

When she saw that it was Yu Cang, there was visible surprise in her eyes.

"Boss! You're back!"

Gu Jieshuang quickly put down the broom and untied her apron.

"Well, I..."

Before Yu Cang could finish his words, he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze blowing into his arms, and Gu Jieshuang was already hugging him tightly.

"Boss, I miss you."

After being interrupted, he suddenly couldn't remember what he was saying. Yu Cang could only smile, pat Gu Jieshuang's back gently, and said nothing.

Gu Jieshuang buried her head in Yu Cang's chest, breathing in the scent of Yu Cang - suddenly, she felt something was wrong.

She silently poked her head out from Yu Cang's shoulder and looked behind him.

Well... Qi'er was looking at the two of them intently with shining eyes. This was normal, because she knew what the girl was thinking.

But——Why is Lin Yunqing here?!

And what are you doing!

Seeing that Gu Jieshuang had discovered him, Lin Yunqing still had no expression on his face, but his eyes moved slightly to the side... but he did not put down the personal terminal in his hand.

——Click.

"What are you doing!!"

"Oh, excuse me, I'll close the shutter right now."

"Is this a problem with the shutter! Why are you here... Stop taking pictures, stop taking pictures!" Gu Jieshuang's face turned red visibly.

"Hmm?" Lin Yunqing looked a little confused. "Didn't you ask me to help you secretly take photos of your senior?"

Hearing this, Yu Cang was stunned.

"ah?"

He grabbed Gu Jieshuang's shoulders and pulled her out of his arms. It was obvious that Gu Jieshuang was very reluctant to leave Yu Cang's arms at this moment, but Yu Cang still forcibly pulled her in front of him.

At this time, Gu Jieshuang's face had turned red, and even her eyes were dizzy. After being pulled out, her two hands still weakly pushed towards Yu Cang, as if she wanted to bury her face again.

Perhaps at this time, Yu Cang's chest had the same function as a "crack in the ground" in Gu Jieshuang's eyes.

"Did you ask Lin Yunqing to secretly take photos of me?"

"I, I didn't... No, I..." Gu Jieshuang covered her face with her hands and began to talk nonsense.

Seeing this, Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, it's nothing." Yu Cang rubbed Gu Jieshuang's head. "If you want to know what I'm doing, just tell me. I'll take the photo for you myself next time."

"...Okay." Gu Jieshuang still covered her face, and a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum slipped out from between her fingers.

Behind.

Qi'er also had a red face.

At this moment, the girl was holding Lin Yunqing's hands with both hands and shaking them continuously, but her eyes never left Yu Cang and the others.

Judging from her expression, she was obviously very satisfied.

"Okay, okay, no more trouble." Yu Cang said with a smile, "Are you cleaning?"

"Well... the boss has been gone for over a week, and I rarely came last week, so I thought I'd help him clean up..."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Cang said with a smile, "You stay in the house for a while. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and ask my friends in the lab to come over tonight."

"Okay!" Gu Jieshuang calmed down a lot, but her face was still red. "I'll help!"

Behind him, Lin Yunqing put away the terminal and suddenly said, "Jieshuang, you and the senior go together. I'll help clean the store."

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"Well, after all, I'm also the senior's assistant. I can't just do nothing."

"Thank you so much!"

…

So, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang took Qi'er to the street again.

"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang looked at the timid Qi'er, a little surprised, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you?"

At this time in the past, shouldn't Qi'er have already held his own and his boss' hands?

Even if you don't hold hands, you should at least get into the boss's arms.

"Well..." Qi'er's expression was very firm, "Qi'er has been punished. Qi'er cannot hold brother's hand!"

"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang looked at Yu Cang in confusion.

Yu Cang smiled helplessly and did not hide it. While walking, he told Gu Jieshuang what happened last night.

"Ah, so that's how it is." Looking at Qi'er's pitiful appearance, Gu Jieshuang felt a little guilty, "Boss... I asked Lin Yunqing to take the secret photos. Why don't you punish me instead of Qi'er..."

"What should I punish you for?" Yu Cang smiled.

As for the secret photos, it was Gu Jieshuang who asked him to do so, but the secret photos of himself and Miao Xue taken at such an ambiguous angle must have been Lin Yunqing and Qi'er's own idea.

There was no mistake in this penalty.

"Hmm, then I'll punish you..." Gu Jieshuang pondered, "How about punishing me by not allowing me to hold hands for a whole day?"

"No." Yu Cang refused decisively.

Who should be punished?

Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment. She turned her head and looked at the smile in Yu Cang's eyes. It seemed that she had figured something out, and her face began to turn red again before it had calmed down for long.

"good……"

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she quietly stretched out her hand, just as she was about to sneak into Yu Cang's palm, but at this time she heard Yu Cang say:

"I'll just deduct 100 yuan from your salary as a fine."

"Ah?!" Gu Jieshuang's body suddenly froze.

Deduct one hundred?

No, she does odd jobs here for Yu Cang and doesn’t earn much in a month!

Gu Jieshuang's face fell, but what could she do? The words had already been spoken, so she could only pout.

"Okay... By the way, boss." She seemed to have thought of something, took out her personal terminal, and continued, "Here, this is the money to pay back to the boss... It's not much, but this is just the first installment!"

Alas, although I am a little angry... I am the first person to be paid for work, right?

"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned. He took out his personal terminal and took a look.

Gu Jieshuang transferred 30,000 yuan to herself?

this……

Yu Cang frowned slightly.

"You went to a dangerous place?"

"Hmm... Liegong Ancient Cave, it's not dangerous, I just walked around the periphery."

Yu Cang's brows furrowed even deeper, he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

...What's going on.

He clearly knew that this was something that all soul card masters had to go through, and he knew that the place he and Gu Jieshuang were going to in the future was countless times more dangerous than the Liegong Ancient Cave.

But when he heard Gu Jieshuang say this, he still felt unhappy and worried about her taking risks alone.

Seeing that Yu Cang was motionless, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but look over and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, boss?"

"...Nothing." Yu Cang shook his head.

At the side, Qi'er suddenly poked his head out and said crisply, "Brother is worried about you! He doesn't want you to... Um!"

Before the girl could finish her words, Yu Cang's big hand came down from the sky, ruffling the girl's hair without any hesitation, and swallowed the second half of her words in his mouth.

Yu Cang's expression didn't change at all, but no matter how dumb Gu Jieshuang was, she could tell that he was just pretending to be calm.

It's kind of cute.

Gu Jieshuang chuckled a few times, then took a deep breath, put her hand in Yu Cang's palm, moved it slightly, and interlocked her fingers.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." Gu Jieshuang looked at the road ahead. The sun shone all the way, and the gentle evening breeze ruffled her hair. "We made an appointment... I won't break my promise."

Yu Cang didn't say anything, but just held Gu Jieshuang's hand tightly.

"Well, I don't know either."

…

Soon, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang returned to the card-making house with large and small bags of food and some daily necessities.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a voice coming from the front.

"Master Yu Cang? Master, you're back!" Jiang Lou trotted over and quickly took the bag from Yu Cang's hand. "Here, just give it to me!"

Qiu Ding and Wang Changzhi also arrived soon after, and they divided up all the bags in Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang's hands.

"How is it, Master? Did it go well this time?" Qiu Ding was a little expectant.

If the mechanical card deck gets the opportunity to be promoted to the entire army... then he can use his connections to get the deck!

Who understands? He really wants to use the mechanical race to compete!

However... after all, it is a major armament overhaul, so it should be quite difficult to take first place.

Since Yu Cang spent the next few days in the military area, Qiu Ding didn’t know that his deck had two new powerful weapons: the individual reactive armor and the electronic energy-absorbing tower.

His impression was still stuck on the stage of Lei Tie's roar.

Yu Cang certainly knew what he was thinking, so he didn't keep it a secret. He just smiled and said:

"Of course, it's still easy to get first place."

"Yes!" Qiu Ding clenched his fist, too excited to control himself.

But Yu Cang changed the subject: "But if you want to use it in a formal competition, it might be a bit difficult."

Qiu Ding was stunned: "Ah? Why..."

Yu Cang spread his hands and said, "The Mechanical deck is too strong and has been included in the list of banned cards in the Soul Master Duel Tournament."

“……!” Qiu Ding was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked like his brain was overloaded.

Wait, Master Yu Cang means... a whole deck is included in the list?

Is this so exaggerated?

Normally, a deck would only ban one or two cards...

Yu Cang smiled and didn't say anything else. Instead, he took out a soul card and stuffed it into Qiu Ding's hand.

"By the way... I'd like you to give this soul card to Gu Luo for me."

Qiu Ding took it blankly, glanced at it casually, and suddenly raised his brows.

"Hmm? This is..."

Powered robotic arm?

Hiss...this is so handsome!

Suddenly, a light flashed in Qiu Ding's eyes.

This, this robotic arm, even if he has all four limbs intact, he would want to have one!

"This is for Guluo. If you want me to make it for you later, you are not allowed to keep this soul card for yourself. Do you understand?" Yu Cang said casually.

This soul card was exactly what he made before going to bed last night.

Guluo's arm was torn off by his eldest son. The wound was already very irregular, and coupled with the long journey and the impact of the mountain bombing, it was impossible to reattach the broken arm.

Some soul cards may have the effect of regenerating a broken arm, but the required level is too high, and Guluo doesn't know if there is any way to find someone with such a soul card.

No matter what, although Guluo's broken arm had nothing to do with Yu Cang, it happened during the same battle, and the broken arm also revealed key information, so Yu Cang couldn't just ignore it - at least, he could make a soul card for him that could help.

"Of course! How could I possibly take something from a friend?" Qiu Ding quickly shook his head. "But Master... since you made the soul card, how about we go together tomorrow? And let Lao Gu thank you in person."

"No thanks." Yu Cang declined, "I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't go."

"Well... okay."

After explaining all this, Yu Cang turned and walked towards the kitchen: "Okay, you guys sit down for a while, I'll go prepare the meal for you."

"Boss, let me help you!" Gu Jieshuang immediately stood up and followed Yu Cang into the kitchen.

"Master, let me come too. I'm not bragging, my cooking skills..." Wang Changzhi rolled up his sleeves, stood up and wanted to help.

But Lin Yunqing's casual glance made Wang Changzhi shudder suddenly and stop.

"What...what happened?" Wang Changzhi blinked, not quite understanding how he had offended Lin Yunqing.

Lin Yunqing simply stroked his glasses and said calmly, "Pay attention."

Wang Changzhi was stunned for a moment, and before he could understand what was going on, Jiang Lou beside him suddenly widened his eyes.

"Wait, wait, Sister Qing, Master and Sister Shuang and the others..." Jiang Lou's eyes moved back and forth between Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang's backs, and his eyes grew wider and wider.

No, something's wrong!

Based on his many years of experience in the love field, the relationship between the two people is definitely different from before!

This kind of ignorance, this kind of ambiguity...tsk.

But that's not right. If he remembered correctly, a week ago, Master Yu Cang went to the military area, and Sister Shuang went straight home... The two of them were not in the same place, so how did this relationship develop?

Lin Yunqing's expression did not change: "No, but there is."

Three people: ? ?

What does it mean.

For a moment, the three of them were brainstorming frantically.

Yu Cang invited the three of them to the card-making house for dinner to express his gratitude. After all, they were involved in the mechanical card deck in a disguised way, and when new cards were released in the future, they might be used as test subjects.

There wasn't much to say about the meal. Yu Cang just said a few words of thanks, and Jiang Lou and the other two looked so grateful that they burst into tears, which made Yu Cang himself a little confused.

So exaggerated?

I didn't pua them...

They finished their meal quickly and returned to the Ancient Capital University together. Only Yu Cang and Qi'er were left in the card-making room.

It can be seen that Gu Jieshuang doesn't really want to separate from Yu Cang. After all, they have just met.

If it had happened before, she would have definitely found various excuses to spend the night in the card-making house. After all, it wasn't the first time.

But now that the relationship has taken a step further, she is a little afraid to do so.

In the past, she was upright and had nothing to fear, and she was fearless. After all, Yu Cang couldn't beat her, so she could do whatever he wanted, and her boss was not that kind of person.

But now... things have come to this point, the relationship has been almost confirmed, if Yu Cang really wants... she doesn't know how to refuse.

It can't really evolve into sausage.

And more importantly, there are outsiders here now, and she doesn't want Jiang Lou and the others to think wrongly.

So, no matter how reluctant she was, Gu Jieshuang could only smile and wave to Yu Cang, then turned around and went back to the dormitory.

Before leaving, a few people thoughtfully cleaned up the table, so Yu Cang had nothing to do after seeing them off.

After sending Qi'er, who was already nodding with sleepiness, to bed, Yu Cang returned to his room.

The trophy carved from the dim light crystals has been placed by Yu Cang in the glass cabinet beside the bed. After turning off the lights, soft light naturally emanates from it, making the small house look as dreamy as the bottom of a shallow sea.

Seeing this scene, Yu Cang scratched his head.

"Hmm... This ghostly light crystal shouldn't have any radiation."

Probably not.

Although the technological level in this world is not very high, the periodic table of elements has been discovered and there is a certain understanding of radiation. It is impossible for the association to make such a low-level mistake in the trophy given to itself.

However, placing such a glowing object at the bedside does affect my sleep... I'd better put it somewhere else.

After taking the trophy to a room on the third floor and putting it away, Yu Cang nodded with satisfaction.

"...By the way, I wonder what we can extract from this trophy."

Yu Cang's mind moved, and he immediately started extracting entries.

Originally, it was just a casual try, and Yu Cang thought it would take at most an hour, but the interface that popped up on the entry recorder scared Yu Cang.

"What the hell, a whole day?!"

Yu Cang was stunned.

Doesn't this mean... there will be a legendary one? !

Be good.

Yu Cang blinked.

Where did this legendary entry come from... Is it because of the symbolic meaning of this trophy? Or is it because of... the Phantom Crystal itself?

Yu Cang's heart was suddenly lifted up, but it would take a whole day to complete the extraction, and there was no point in being anxious now.

Forget it, let’s go to sleep first.

…

the next day

Qiu Ding got up early.

After skipping the morning class, he drove along and found a small street.

After getting off the car, Qiu Ding took off his sunglasses and looked up at the sign of the shop in front of him.

Mr. Gu’s home-cooked dishes.

Well...that's it.

Qiu Ding pushed the door open and walked in. It was a very clean restaurant, but it was definitely not the choice Qiu Ding would make when eating.

I heard someone coming in, and then I heard footsteps coming down from upstairs. At the same time, a voice came:

"I'm sorry, sir, it's not business hours yet..."

Gu Luo was stunned at the stairs, looking at Qiu Ding in front of him.

"This... Boss Qiu?"

"Hey, Lao Gu." Qiu Ding grinned, "Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

"No, no... please come in!"

Gu Luo was a little confused.

After Qiu Ding sat down, Gu Luo opened the teacup with his only remaining hand and poured a cup of tea.

"Boss Qiu, I'm no longer the club's coach. You came to see me this time because..."

"Oh? Why, after Firestar closed down, didn't you interview at other clubs?"

"Well..." Gu Luo said with a wry smile, "Which club would want an employee with only one arm..."

Qiu Ding frowned slightly. He put down his teacup and looked at Gu Luo's pale face, which was obviously still not recovered. He said, "Old Gu, why don't you come with me to the imperial capital and continue to work with me."

Guluo's expression changed slightly.

He didn't expect that Qiu Ding would say such a thing.

After all, people in their line of work come into contact with people of some status. How could anyone be like Qiu Ding, who still cares about him even after he has lost his job?

However, Gu Luo still shook his head: “No need, Boss Qiu…I’m used to staying in the ancient capital and don’t want to go anywhere else.”

"Is that so...that's fine." Qiu Ding didn't say anything else.

He got straight to the point, took out a soul card from his pocket, and pushed it in front of Gu Luo: "Nuo, this card was given to you by Master Yu Cang... It was made especially for you."

Guluo was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the soul card, and after seeing the introduction clearly, his eyes widened involuntarily.

Soul Card Name: Power Robotic Arm

Category: Summon Card

Quality: Ordinary

Attribute: Gold

Race: Mechanical

ability:

[Transmission Power]: A powered manipulator can be equipped on the user. At this point, if positioned appropriately, simple mechanical activities can be performed using muscle power without consuming soul energy.

[Standby Mode]: If [Transfer Power] is active, the mental pressure of maintaining the Soul Card will be greatly reduced. If you actively cancel the summon, it will not enter the death cooldown, will not consume mental pressure, and can be summoned again at any time.

"This..." Guluo stood up suddenly. He looked at the soul card in his palm and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qiu Ding smiled and said, "Try it. This is for you."

"...Okay!" Guluo nodded quickly.

The next second, he activated the Soul Card, and a Soul Card phantom flipped open at his side. Countless parts flew out of it and assembled into a mechanical arm in his empty sleeves.

He suppressed his excitement and moved his hands gently and carefully.

Move!

It really moved!

And it's so flexible...even more flexible than his original arm!

Ever since he lost his arm, he felt that his life had suddenly reached its lowest point.

His most impressive skill - marksmanship - was rendered useless after his arm was broken. He could only return to his family's small restaurant. If nothing unexpected happened, his life would probably have passed like this.

Every night, he would feel waves of phantom pain where his arm was missing, making him unable to sleep and extremely tormented.

Now, it's finally over.

Gu Luo felt his nose sore, and the next second, the man could no longer hold back and tears suddenly flowed out.
