Chapter 178
The next morning, Shen Yueshu and Chu Xiyin were preparing breakfast in the kitchen when they suddenly heard the sound of a car outside the yard.
Guessing that it was most likely Jiang Hanyu who had returned, Shen Yueshu put down her lunch bag and went to open the door.
However, he did not expect that after the door opened, the person standing outside was Wei Zhou, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Yueyue." The man's eyes fell on Shen Yueshu's fair face, and between his thin lips, he uttered his name.
Wei Zhou was only wearing a thin black long coat. Shen Yueshu didn't know if it was because they hadn't seen each other for a few months, but she felt that he had lost a lot of weight.
The overly long, messy hair covered his deep eyebrows and eyes, making him look less cold and more gloomy.
Shen Yueshu naturally didn't think that this change in the man had anything to do with him. He just quickly put away his complicated emotions and asked:
"Why are you here?"
Wei Zhou didn't say anything, just stared at him silently until Jiang Hanyu and the other man got out of the car.
"Yitu?" Shen Yueshu was surprised, but soon realized that this guy was probably going to find Jiang Hanyu. She smiled helplessly and said:
"How could you sneak out alone in the middle of the night? At least ask me or Xu Heng to come with you."
Yitu showed an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry for making everyone worried."
Jiang Hanyu frowned and glanced at Wei Zhou, who was standing motionless at the door. "Are you planning to stay out here and wait for your husband if you don't go in?"
Wei Zhou's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then he followed in.
Shen Yueshu hesitated at the door, then gently pulled Yi Tu's arm, "You..."
Yitu knew what he was going to say and gave Shen Yueshu a reassuring look. "I think I should be fine, Ah Yue. You don't have to worry too much about me."
After he said this, he remembered someone's request and continued:
"Weizhou is only here to stay for a few days. Xiangxiang and the others have already gone home for the New Year, leaving him alone."
Shen Yueshu felt unhappy when she heard this.
The relationships among Wei Zhou's family members are rather complicated. Except for going home to stay one night on New Year's Eve, he spends the rest of his time at the Shen family.
If nothing unexpected happens, this year should be the seventh New Year that he and Wei Zhou have spent together.
"Originally, I didn't agree with him coming here, but he and Hanyu just played a tenth-level card game last night, and Weizhou's arm was injured."
Shen Yueshu was stunned when she heard this, "What? How is this possible..."
You know, no matter how serious the injuries players suffer in the card field are, unless they are fatal, they will all heal as soon as they leave the card field.
Once a player takes the injury out of the card field, it means that the person is not far from death.
"It's not what you think." Yitu quickly explained:
"Weizhou is fine. His injury wasn't caused by the card game, but by a special player."
"Han Yu didn't tell me much, but I think you should know her. Her name is..."
Before Yitu finished speaking, Shen Yueshu had already guessed the man's name and her face turned cold.
"Sha Nu Bailie, the most fanatical follower of Plum Blossom King."
When Yitu heard the man's name, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Like Shen Yueshu, the evil girl Bailie is good at using a knife. The two have fought many times, but there is no winner.
One reason was that Weizhou was still by his side at that time, and Bailie did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
Secondly, no matter whether it was the long sword or the short blade in Bailie's hand, they were all controlled by Shen Yueshu's ability and thus became invalid.
But there is only one that is beyond Shen Yueshu's control, the Night Fury Fang.
As a forbidden blade, the Night Fury is known for its terrifying destructive power.
Not only will the wounds of players injured by it not heal, but even after leaving the card field, the wounds will continue to fester until the flesh is completely necrotic.
Therefore, if someone is injured in a vital part by it, he will not be able to survive for many days after leaving the card game.
But this is not the scariest thing about the Night Fury's Fangs. What scares all players the most about the Night Fury is that it has the ability to kill identity cards.
Every player in the gambler game has his or her own identity card. Sometimes, a player’s death does not mean true death.
As long as the identity card is still there, you can be resurrected by a skill card or taken out by your spouse and be reborn.
The Night Fury's Fangs were born to kill cards.
Shen Yueshu once saw with her own eyes a couple killed by Bailie, and the man failed to pick up the woman's ID card in time.
Bai Lie used Night Fury to pierce the human skin card. The moment the woman's miserable scream rang out, a large amount of blood gushed out and splashed on Bai Lie's extremely excited face.
That was also the first time that Shen Yueshu knew that the player's identity card could be destroyed, and that the thin card body could also spray out so much blood.
The Night Fury's Fangs not only have the ability to kill cards, but can also severely damage most god-level weapons.
Weapons bitten by it will be swallowed up at worst, or their functions will be damaged at best. It is extremely terrifying.
The evil woman Bai Lie is the Night King's most crazy pursuer and a loyal lackey he raised.
Thinking of this, Shen Yueshu's expression became extremely complicated. "Fortunately, on the day you got into trouble, Bai Lie just stayed by the Night King's side and didn't follow the clone."
Upon hearing this, Yitu smiled, his expression unfathomable, and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I've saved a life, how dare I lose it again?"
After the two finished talking, they went into the living room together.
As soon as he came in, Yi Tu found that the atmosphere became a little weird. Turning around, he saw that Wei Zhou and Chu Xi were secretly competing with each other.
The former had a gloomy expression and said nothing, while the latter had a proper fake smile on his face and would deliberately say a few words from time to time.
"Azhou, you came at the perfect time. Otherwise, in a few days, Yueyue and I would have to go back to the Shen family for the New Year. Ou Cheng and Xu Heng would probably go back as well. By then, the villa would be much quieter..."
"He said he would take you back?" Wei Zhou's face looked particularly ugly, and there was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Chu Xiyin smiled and curved her eyes, "Yes, Yueyue said that Mother Shen hasn't seen me for a long time and she missed me very much. A few days ago, she was still nagging me to go back for a few days."
Wei Zhou stopped talking, as if he was deeply shocked by this fact.
Chu Xiyin acted as if she hadn't seen it and continued nonchalantly:
"Azhou, you're already 26. Now that you've made it clear with Yueyue, it's better for you to get married soon."
"Otherwise, I'll just be bothering others all over the New Year, which must be tiring."
Wei Zhou suddenly raised his head, looking at him with a sinister look and an extremely cold voice.
"Chu Xiyin, who do you think you are? You haven't been around for more than ten years. Why do you think there will be a chance in the future?"
Chu Xiyin smiled, her emotions still unaffected, and she said calmly:
"Weizhou, you are too confident."
"Since I'm here, I've already explained the answer, and you still don't understand."
He looked at the man with extreme disdain, and his good upbringing made him swallow the word "idiot" that should have followed his words.
Yitu just glanced at the two of them and went upstairs lazily. He still didn't like too much conversation and contact.
Before going to the study, he had a brief chat with Jiang Hanyu to prove that he was really feeling much better.
After seeing the man's reassured eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and slipped into the study.
This study is not big, and can even be considered messy. Most of the time, Yitu would lie on the soft couch behind the bookshelf and think about things in a daze.
But he didn't plan to do that today. Instead, he sat at the table and tapped the surface with his fingertips.
The game panel unfolded before my eyes. The tower climbing activity was about to end, and in less than three or four hours, the redemption store would be closed.
Although the number of levels that Yitu passed was not high, the rewards for climbing the tower were quite high, amounting to several thousand.
Most of this comes from the money earned from the ID cards sold by the Sea Train.
Yitu doesn't care about the so-called fragments or high-level props. For him now, there is no need to obtain any props below the god level.
Therefore, he exchanged all of the nearly 7,000 tower climbing reward points into JR points commonly used in the game.
At this moment, he already had less than two million JR points in his account, which was not a lot, but not a small amount either.
These points were prepared by Yitu for the Pain Card a long time ago, but after spending them, Hantian's growth will stagnate.
After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If it were before something happened, he might have waited a little longer, but after experiencing what happened with the Chen twins, the upgrade of the pain card is imminent.
Yitu didn't hesitate much and directly upgraded the pain card to the god level.
Seeing the game panel refreshed with brand new cards and dazzling golden light, Yitu calmed down and watched the new interpretation.
【Acolyte-pain
Level: God level
Owner: Yitu
Interpretation: Even death cannot free you from the hell of painful despair.
Usage: When this card is in active state, the user can directly use this card to release pain to any player.
The degree of pain depends on the mental state of the holder. The more unstable the holder's mental state is, the more severe the pain released, and vice versa.
This card has a unique passive feature, which is that the selected player cannot be unselected. (Regardless of rank and item)
Note: When the holder's excitement value is lower than 3, this card cannot be released; the maximum pain value released by this card is 10, which means the player's consciousness dies;
When the holder's consciousness is on the verge of death, in order to protect the holder, this card will passively release a pain value of 10, which means 100% destruction of the enemy player (prioritizing attack on the target output).
Cooldown time: None (Each release will consume 150,000 JR points, the maximum cumulative number is 10)
After reading the skill introduction, Yitu remained calm on the surface, but the speed at which his fingertips tapped the table became rapid, which undoubtedly revealed the degree of his excitement.
After upgrading, the use of pain cards is no longer linked to the holder's pain, but is related to the level of excitement.
This makes releasing pain cards much easier, and even a slight emotional fluctuation can cause the pain value to soar to seven or eight points.
After the Pain Card was promoted, its enhancements in all aspects were even more perfect. What Yitu was most satisfied with was the shotgun effect triggered when the Pain Card died, and the reasonable passive that made it almost invincible.
If anyone wants to kill him again, no one will have a good death unless one life is exchanged for another.
Thinking of this, Yitu smiled quietly.
He turned off the game panel, stood up and paced back and forth in the study, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was just trying to relieve his anxiety.
Ten minutes later, he stopped this incomprehensible behavior and stood in front of Song Jingchen's door.
"Jingchen, are you there?"
Song Jingchen heard Yitu's voice, hurried over to open the door, and asked cautiously:
"Brother Tu, are you feeling better?"
Yitu smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Song Jingchen hesitated for a second, not quite believing it. He always felt that Yi Tu's mental state was very unstable at this moment.
Before he could ask more, Yitu quickly said:
"Xiao Song, do you have Huasan's contact information?"
Song Jingchen was obviously stunned. "Flower umbrella? What do you want him for?"
Yitu still had a faint smile on his face, but it didn't reach his heart. He looked into Song Jingchen's eyes and said:
"It's a long story, but I need Huasan to join Handian now."
"Even though this is very difficult for you, Xiao Song, you have to know that I have no choice."
The man's words were so tactful, but it gave Song Jingchen the illusion that he was facing Jiang Hanyu.
Strong and irresistible.
