"Sir, do you already have a child?!!"

Ke Jin was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud.

"No, no, it's... uh, it's a friend's child, staying with me."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Siyu also smiled, and at the same time glanced at her friend who was taking a deep breath - Gao Xue had just been startled and was now patting her chest to calm down.

"Well, this child's situation is a bit special," Ke Jin said with difficulty, "Let me briefly explain it first..."

Ke Jin knew that Ounuo's past identity must be extraordinary. Since he was to continue his education, he would of course choose the best local school. But Ounuo's biggest problem at the moment was that he didn't have a local identity card, which was equivalent to being an illegal resident. Although he could apply for a temporary identity, it would be difficult for him to enter a well-known school like Xingchen International School.

Ke Jin had been thinking about this matter a few days ago and had originally wanted to go to the school in person. Unexpectedly, he met a teacher from Xingchen International School today and had the opportunity to consult with him.

Jiang Siyu and the others were very good, especially after learning that Ke Jin was not a local, they gave a detailed introduction to Qixing City and the admission requirements for students of the school. After a discussion among the three of them, Ke Jin finally understood the specific admission application process and had a general idea in his mind.

"Mr. Ke, why don't you add us as a friend? If you have any follow-up questions, you can contact us at any time." Gao Xue said with a smile.

"Okay." Ke Jin readily gave his number and added the two people to his address book.

During this process, Ke Jin noticed that a girl who looked like a junior high school student sitting at the table was staring at him, as if she wanted to say something, but until Ke Jin put away the communicator, she did not speak. She just lowered her head again and ate the snacks in her hand in silence.

In this situation, Ke Jin was too embarrassed to ask any questions, so he could only nod politely to a few people and then stood up to say goodbye.

***

After such a busy morning, the large group of people who came by bus basically left one after another at noon. In the afternoon, there were also guests who came one after another, most of whom chose to drive in the afternoon because they had something to do in the morning and could not go out.

A day passed in a flash, and at dusk, the last wave of guests left. Ke Jin made a rough calculation and found that 713/1000 of the system task had been completed. There would be another sweet train departure next Saturday. At this rate, it would be no problem to easily complete the "1000 people" task before the time specified by the system.

Bai Fan is leaving tomorrow, and everyone has agreed to have a farewell dinner at a hotel in Dadas Town tonight. Ke Jin was just about to go back to the house to call Ou Nuo to leave when suddenly another person walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Am I late?" The man glanced at the empty card pool, then turned his gaze to Ke Jin, "Can I still draw cards now, Mr. Card Master?"

The afterglow of the setting sun poured softly on the man, melting those slightly sharp golden eyes into a gentle warm light. The moment their eyes met, it was as if the smiling gaze touched Ke Jin's heartstrings, and he blurted out subconsciously.

"Have we... met somewhere before?"

As soon as the words fell, both of them were shocked in their hearts - Ke Jin was shocked that he suddenly said such rash and presumptuous words, while the other party was shocked that this person still remembered him. Could it be that his special ability didn't work on this person at that time?

"Ah," the silver-haired young man concealed the slight surprise in his eyes and smiled at Ke Jin. The smile looked seductive and ambiguous in the light of the sunset. "Are you trying to flirt with me, my lovely Mr. Kashi?"

Ke Jin: “…”

How can you describe a man as cute? Even if I was indeed rude just now, there is no need to tease him like this!

"Can I still draw cards now?" the other party asked again with a smile.

"Of course." Ke Jin glanced at the time and planned to close the door and leave after this person finished smoking. If he was any later, he would miss the meeting time agreed with Bai Fan and the others.

After getting permission, the silver-haired man walked to the card pool. His every move was full of elegance, which made Ke Jin think of an aristocratic gentleman playing the violin under the moonlight.

Although after a careful look, I have no memory of having seen such a person before, but why... I always have the illusion that they have met before?

Being a little upset by the familiar feeling in his heart, Ke Jin simply stood aside and watched the other party draw cards. But as he watched, Ke Jin felt a little embarrassed——

This person’s card drawing… is very unique!

Unlike others who draw dozens of times in a row, this person only throws a ten-star coin into the card pool each time, and then throws another coin after a card comes out, repeating the cycle over and over again.

At first, Ke Jin thought that the other party would only draw a dozen times at most, but he didn't expect that he could maintain such a slow frequency even after drawing fifty times. He didn't know whether he should be surprised that he had prepared so many small coins, or admire him for not being impatient at all for repeating the draw.

What's more, this person's luck is extremely bad - worse than anyone Ke Jin has ever met!

Judging from the number in the crystal card, he has drawn at least 60 times, but each time it was an N card... the lowest N card! Not even an N!

Ke Jin was amazed at what he saw, and all his attention was focused on the card pool. After the 99th draw (still an N card, of course), Ke Jin saw that person took out another ten-star coin, but this time he paused briefly, rubbed his fingers on the coin for a while, and then threw it lightly.

The coin fell into the pool with a "plop" sound, stirring up a small splash. The next second, a bright light quickly rose from the bottom of the pool, and the ripples on the surface of the pool soon turned into surging waves. A golden card rose slowly from the water, instantly illuminating the entire courtyard.

SSR card!

Ke Jin was amazed in his heart, and the silver-haired young man always had a faint smile on his face, as if there was not much difference between drawing an N card and drawing an SSR card to him.

He stretched out his hand, and the golden card quickly flew into his hand. The man did not care about the pattern and level on the front of the card, but turned it over and checked the attributes on the back of the card.

The smile that had never disappeared from his face since he entered the card pool suddenly froze when his eyes fell on the back of the card. As if it was a bit hard to believe what he saw, Ke Jin noticed that the man even rubbed his hand heavily on the card, as if confirming something in a strange way.

——Could it be that the “oracle inscription” appeared on that SSR card?

This was the first thought that came to Ke Jin's mind.

Ever since Bai Fan and Ounuo discovered that there is a certain chance of "divination" appearing on SSR cards, Ke Jin has been paying close attention to the reactions of customers who have drawn SSR cards. However, snack cards are different from functional cards. Most people do not care about their attributes. After getting an SSR card, they tend to appreciate its front side. By the time they turn to the back of the card, they have already missed the time for the "divination" to appear, and will not notice the difference between this SSR card and other SSR cards in the card pool.

From this point of view, the person in front of him was very careful. But why did his expression... suddenly become so strange? Even if this situation was very rare, Bai Fan was just a little confused at the time, and did not react so violently.

Ke Jin was hesitating whether to ask, but the silver-haired young man suddenly raised his head, and his gaze was as sharp as an arrow, as if he wanted to pierce deep into Ke Jin's heart and see the secrets deep in his soul. This man had completely shed his previous gentle disguise, exuding a terrifying coldness. His amazingly bright golden pupils, like a beast, shattered the vague image in Ke Jin's mind, making his memory suddenly clear.

It's that person! Ke Jin remembered it instantly.

I have indeed seen this strange person in the "Kaleidoscope" card shop!

"Very good." Ke Jin heard the man whispering, his low and hoarse voice like a poisonous snake hissing, "Very good. Very good."

The air around him suddenly became thinner, and breathing gradually became difficult. Ke Jin couldn't tell whether this was happening in reality or if he was hallucinating because of the pressure from the other party. He wanted to move his body, but he felt stiff all over, unable to even make a sound, and couldn't move his eyes away. He was forced to keep looking into the strange golden vertical pupils.

What is this guy up to? What does he want to do?

Although the other party did not take any other actions, Ke Jin suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. He wanted to concentrate on thinking of countermeasures, but his mind was so messy that he could not think normally.

I have to get out of this state...if I delay it, it might be bad!

In the chaos, Ke Jin vaguely heard a "creaky" sound of a door opening from the small house behind him. After a moment of silence, a very familiar voice was heard.

"Who are you?"

This voice is...is...is Uno?

Oh No!

Ke Jin was startled, and then he became anxious - the person in front of him was very strange, if Ounuo came out at this time, wouldn't he also be involved? It's too dangerous!

But the miraculous thing was that the heavy burden that had just weighed on Ke Jin's heart, which seemed to be able to completely crush his spirit at any time, suddenly lightened, and the air that was about to disappear once again filled his chest that was about to suffocate. Ke Jin staggered back a few steps, breathing deeply, and found that the cold sweat on his body had completely soaked through his clothes.

The strange silver-haired man also quickly took a few steps back. He looked at the boy who was staring at him coldly, then looked deeply at Ke Jin, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"We will meet again."

After saying this, he turned around casually, as if he didn't care about the two people's vigilance and hostility at all, walked out leisurely, and soon disappeared outside the door.
