Chapter 107 Swarm Magazine, Copy Protocol!
Qiu Ding's eyes lit up.
So cool!
Although he had also been trained in splicing firearms, this ability seemed to have been a waste of his training...but the feeling of all kinds of parts returning to their place with a wave of his hand still touched his heart.
Yu Cang weighed the patrol falcon in his hand: "Will it take about five seconds to reassemble it..."
"Four seconds and thirteen." Lin Yunqing added on the side.
"Good, next let's try to use soul energy to increase the assembly speed." Yu Cang repeated the process of breaking the patrol falcon several times, and invested different amounts of soul energy in turn.
Finally, it was discovered that by directly inputting a tube of soul energy, it only takes less than a second to reassemble a Cruising Falcon!
"Yes... It just so happens that after having the ammunition mechanism, the soul card master's own soul energy has nowhere to be used, so it can be used here." Yu Cang nodded with satisfaction.
Yu Cang raised his hand and summoned the Star of Death and Thunder Roar again. After testing, he found that if the targets were these two rare cards, the reassembly speed of the [Mechanical Array Chariot] would be much slower, taking a full ten seconds. Even if a whole tube of soul energy was invested, it could only be shortened to about five seconds.
It can be said that the overall performance is one level slower than the ordinary level.
That makes sense.
Perhaps investing more soul energy could have a better effect, but Yu Cang is already a fourth-level soul card master. Any higher level would be meaningless for grassroots soldiers.
However, this field card also inherited the mechanical type's characteristic of low mental stress. For Yu Cang, he could almost keep it in existence after summoning it.
Of course, this can't be sustained for long. Even if the mental stress is low, it can still be very torturous over a long period of time. Prolonged periods of this state can easily lead to mental weakness or even sudden death. This is similar to the shortcomings of card pets.
However, if it is the military... maybe this shortcoming can be overcome through strict special training, so that it can be maintained and fully stocked at all times.
Yu Cang walked to the side of the armed chariot, patted the iron sheet on its side, and then the carriage automatically opened, revealing the structure inside.
Although this card is a field card, it looks like an armored vehicle. It has all the functions that an armored vehicle has... except that it cannot burn oil.
After all, it is a soul card creation, and it can only utilize soul energy.
The space in the car is very large, and it is expected that there will be no problem in carrying a tactical team. On the inside, densely packed interfaces are neatly arranged, and those are the places where the [Access Value-Added Protocol] can be triggered.
Yu Cang thought for a moment and waved at Qiu Ding.
"Master, hey Master, what's the matter?" Qiu Ding ran over happily.
"You try it." Yu Cang put a full-capacity magazine and a patrol falcon in Qiu Ding's hand.
"Got it!" Qiu Ding's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to take away the two soul cards.
Turning around, Qiu Ding's expression immediately changed: "You two over there, why don't you summon the Palace Examination Stone for me?"
"You..." Jiang Lou opened his mouth and was about to start a verbal confrontation, but when he noticed that Yu Cang and Sister Qing were looking at him, he snorted and obeyed.
It seems that Master and Sister Qing are not going to bother with you for the sake of their reputation.
Jiang Lou secretly curled his lips.
On the other side, Qiu Ding saw that the thick palace examination stone had risen, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly in a confident smile.
"Let me show you my marksmanship!"
Qiu Ding activated his soul card, and the shadow of the parts emerged from his palm. The moment he touched the gun, his entire temperament changed instantly. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his energy and spirit were completely focused on the palace examination stone in front of him!
Seeing this, Wang Changzhi and Jiang Lou on the side both looked a little serious.
Judging from the situation...this guy might really be a professional.
Damn it, am I really going to be treated like this... It's okay for others, but if it's my enemy who's attacking me, I'll be so unwilling to accept it.
Just when the two of them looked serious, Qiu Ding had already made his move. The Patrol Falcon was spinning smoothly in his palm, and when it stopped, the trigger had been pulled!
Click...
However, nothing happened.
"Huh?" Qiu Ding was stunned.
Did I do something wrong?
Qiu Ding withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, drew the gun, turned the gun, and fired the gun in one go!
Click...
Still nothing happened.
Qiu Ding froze.
This...will the Soul Card gun also jam?
No insurance?
...No, there's no problem!
This is how the Master operates!
"puff."
Jiang Lou couldn't help laughing.
Wang Changzhi's shoulders also shook, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
Good, the attempt to show off failed, I am glad to see it!
Qiu Ding turned around in confusion: "Master, this..."
There is absolutely no problem with his operation...
Seeing this, Yu Cang nodded: "As expected, the ammunition I solidified with soul energy cannot be used by others."
Yu Cang remembered what Shen Zheng had said to him before.
Everyone's soul energy is different.
The magazine soul card in Qiu Ding's hand stores Yu Cang's soul energy, while the patrolling falcon was activated by Qiu Ding and summoned by his soul energy.
The two are not compatible and cannot be used.
The soul energy required to fire a shot is one tube of soul energy of a normal fourth-level soul card master, but Qiu Ding is only third level and cannot provide it, so he cannot fire a single shot.
Yu Cang did not realize at first that there was a problem of repulsion between soul energies, but after making the armed chariot, he discovered that the ammunition he made in the chariot through meditation had a slight difference in the perception of resonance from the ammunition in the magazine.
Yu Cang looked at the armed military vehicle beside him.
The ammunition produced in the chariot did not give me the feeling of being closely connected to myself... Perhaps this is related to the principle of this soul card.
The magazine injects the soul energy already produced in its own soul energy well, while the chariot directly changes the effect of the soul card master's meditation, converting the soul energy into ammunition from the source of production. In comparison, the soul energy absorbed by the chariot is purer, which is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang signaled Qiu Ding with his eyes: "Unload the ammunition in the magazine and use the soul energy in the car."
"Oh, okay..."
Qiu Ding didn't bother to respond to the ridicule of Jiang Lou and the other two. He hurriedly followed Yu Cang's instructions and inserted the empty magazine into the tank. Soon, in just a few seconds, the magazine was refilled.
"Try again, it should be fine this time."
"good!"
Qiu Ding took a deep breath. This time, he did not do any fancy moves. Instead, he aimed and fired in a very standard way, just like Yu Cang did that day!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Seven gunshots rang out in succession, and the bullets whizzed out, all hitting the palace examination stone!
Large spider-web-like cracks spread across the entire stone pillar, and after a moment's pause, the stone pillar collapsed with a loud bang.
Seeing this, Qiu Ding's face flushed, he swung his fist violently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally it feels good!
On the side, Lin Yunqing pondered: "Is there still a relationship of adaptation and repulsion between soul energy and soul energy?"
"The difference between soul energy and soul energy does exist, but under normal circumstances, the impact is not that great." Yu Cang explained, "But the mechanical system is very sensitive to soul energy, which is equivalent to amplifying this relationship."
Yu Cang made a special search last night and found that there is almost no research in this area. In his entire life, the only thing Yu Cang has seen that uses this principle is the soul energy pointer invented by Shen Zheng.
After all, Qiu Ding can use other people's summoned beasts to upgrade their summons, which is enough to prove that this difference has little impact on other types of soul cards, so it is normal that no one noticed it before.
"This direction is worth further investigation." Lin Yunqing wrote it down in his notebook.
"Okay, next one." Yu Cang took out another soul card.
Soul Card Name: Swarm Magazine
Category: Equipment Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Wind
ability:
[Magnetic Ejection]: The Swarm Magazine can fly with the help of magnetic fields.
[Mechanical Structure]: When destroyed, it does not enter a death cooldown, but instead becomes broken into parts, which can be reassembled and rejoined. Summoning in this way does not consume soul energy.
[Access-based Value-added Protocol·Modification]: The Swarm Magazine can carry different protocol attributes through access. After connecting once, within a certain range, as long as the Soul Card is not destroyed, it can be regarded as providing protocol attributes regardless of whether it is connected or not.
Last night, Yu Cang made a simple calculation and found that a fully-capacity armored vehicle could hold tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition. Although it was powerful, it had a shortcoming that could not be ignored.
That is... it would be inconvenient for Soul Card Masters fighting nearby to replenish their ammunition.
Just like Qiu Ding just now, you need to walk to the side of the tank and insert the magazine into one of the connection ports to start loading ammunition. Although it is very fast, this process is a bit fatal in combat.
The Chariot is a field card with a wide range of influence, which means that related tactical structures will also be generated within this space. If there is no better way to transport bullets, then such a large range will undoubtedly be wasted.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Yu Cang tried many kinds of entry implantation formulas last night, and finally used [Mechanical] + [Magazine] + [Breakage] + [Magnetic] + [Electronic] to create this swarm magazine.
There were five entries in total. [Magnetism] was extracted from the magnet I bought the day before yesterday, so it was just an ordinary entry. But [Broken] and [Electronics] were truly rare.
Yu Cang raised his hand, and the soul card shattered at his fingertips: "I summon: Swarm Magazine."
Buzz...
An almost inaudible buzzing sound came from the air, and ten thumb-sized aircraft appeared beside Yu Cang.
Normally, any additional actions performed after a Mechanical Soul Card is summoned require Soul Energy, but these aircraft do not consume any energy when flying.
This is exactly the effect of [Magnetic Catapult]. They fly by utilizing the magnetic field.
Yu Cang moved his mind slightly, and these mechanical aircraft began to swim flexibly around his fingers. However, Yu Cang was not able to concentrate on ten things at once, so he could only let them fly in the air in a certain order.
"Hive, give me ammunition."
Buzz!
The direction of the aircraft suddenly changed, and the [Magnetic Catapult] was activated. They first paused in the air, and then shot straight towards the armed chariot like sharp arrows. Each of them found an interface to connect, and after taking the ammunition, they shot back along the same route, one by one hitting the butt of the Patrol Falcon in Yu Cang's hand, making a rhythmic metal collision sound.
Feeling the fully filled patrol falcon, Yu Cang raised the corner of his mouth.
One bee-shaped aircraft can carry the equivalent of two rounds of ammunition, and ten of them can carry twenty rounds, which is more than enough for combat use. Moreover, when there are ammunition depots such as tanks around, the swarm aircraft can fly automatically and replenish ammunition without the need for distraction to control it.
During the battle, you can release two or three swarm magazines to let them automatically transport ammunition for the soldiers, fully utilizing the large-scale effect of the armed ordnance vehicle!
Of course, there are also disadvantages. These little guys are very fragile, and their flight depends on magnetic fields, so they are easily disturbed.
The former is easy to deal with. After all, within the range of the tank, the swarm magazine can be quickly and automatically repaired even if it is damaged. As for the latter... if the opponent really has the means to interfere with the magnetic field, then why not just use the mechanical system?
Moreover, the most powerful ability of the Swarm Magazine is the [Access Value-Added Protocol·Modified]!
The additional attributes provided by the value-added agreement have actually always been quite useless.
Like the Skeleton Mechanical Dog, its protocol attribute is to slightly increase speed, but in order to obtain this attribute, the Skeleton Mechanical Dog needs to be inserted into the target like a plug-in to take effect.
The problem is that even though the skeleton mechanical dog is very small, it is made of metal and is still quite heavy. The extra power required to carry such a thing on the body has offset the little speed it brings.
This attribute is an unnecessary addition in most cases... But fortunately, when the [External Chimeric Component] is triggered, the protocol attribute can still take effect, which is better than nothing.
But with the swarm magazine, things are different!
The swarm magazine can carry protocol attributes through connection. That is to say, when a swarm magazine is connected to a skeleton mechanical dog, the skeleton mechanical dog's "increase movement speed" protocol attribute will be copied to the magazine, and then when the magazine is connected to the machine that Yu Cang is using, the protocol attribute will be implanted into it!
There are ten swarm magazines in total, which means that it can carry ten copies of the protocol attributes!
Although the attributes of each protocol are not very strong, when added together, they are very impressive.
The most important thing is that the protocol properties copied through this effect will remain effective as long as the magazine does not leave a certain range, and will not affect the magazine's transportation of ammunition back and forth!
You can even flexibly choose different protocol attributes when replacing ammunition according to changes in the battle situation to achieve more tactical goals!
Yu Cang guessed that this might be the ability brought by the [Electronic] entry.
Just like now, the protocol attribute of the Armed Military Vehicle is to slightly improve the energy utilization rate. After being copied ten times, the improvement for the Cruising Falcon... well, it seems there is none.
Yu Cang scratched his head.
After thinking for a moment, he figured it out.
The Patrolling Falcon consumes one bullet per shot, which can't be any lower. No matter how high the effect is, it will be useless.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang picked up Lei Tiehou who was standing beside him.
Buzz...
The swarm magazines automatically flew back to the tank, then turned into straight lines and inserted into the sides of Lei Tie Roar one by one, forming a neat row.
"Wait! Wait!" Jiang Lou was so frightened that his soul was about to die. "I haven't activated the protective shield yet! Master, slow down!"
Yu Cang: "...It's okay, no need to open it, I'll just feel it."
The effect is very significant.
The consumption of ammunition that originally required fourteen rounds has been reduced to twelve.
These two rounds of ammunition saved may sometimes determine the outcome of the battle.
Yu Cang was about to put away these soul cards when suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Wait...that seems pretty cool!
Try it!
Yu Cang's mind moved, and he immediately summoned the gear robot and the skeleton mechanical dog, and then activated the [External Chimeric Component]!
Click—click!
The gear robot transformed into a silver-white outfit that spread in layers over its body. The skeleton mechanical dog climbed onto Yu Cang's back during the transformation, and the mechanical bone structure protected Yu Cang's chest.
Finally, when the gear robot completely covered Yu Cang's head, a set of mechanical structures happened to be assembled into goggles in front of his eyes, and with a "click", they fit tightly.
"And you." Yu Cang waved his hand, and the three guns on the ground responded immediately, turning into a pile of parts and flying into the air, automatically looking for interfaces on the gear robot!
Click!
The star of death is connected to the back shoulder, and the narrow muzzle protrudes from the left shoulder.
Bang!
Thunder Iron Roar is connected to the right arm, and a huge gear holds it in place.
Click!
Two patrol falcons were combined and fixed on the right shoulder, with the muzzles pointing straight forward.
Yu Cang turned his head and looked at the armed chariot.
emm……
Never mind, this doesn’t seem to work.
It’s not that it doesn’t have this function, but... it consumes too much soul energy to transform this thing.
Even if Yu Cang was drained dry, he still wouldn't be able to provide any funds.
Never mind, this is enough.
"Swarm!"
Buzz!!
The sound of buzzing penetrated the air, and ten bee-shaped aircraft came straight from the direction of the chariot and inserted into the connecting port near the shoulder blade in an orderly manner, five in each row on the left and right. The crisp sound of metal collision came one after another.
Layer upon layer of protocol properties were written as the bee-shaped aircraft connected: speed, vibration reduction, energy utilization...
And, a full twenty rounds of ammunition were loaded in the blink of an eye!
Yu Cang raised his hand, and a flash of electronic green light appeared on his goggles. All the connected weapons moved and aimed at the same time...
Buzz!
A full five layers of protective shields fell down in an instant. Jiang Lou and Wang Changzhi stood next to the soul card patterns in the laboratory, their expressions almost crying.
"Master, Master, don't scare me... You clearly want to start a fire!"
Yu Cang: "...I'm really just feeling it."
Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses and said, "Open fire, Senior. I am becoming more and more curious about the combat effectiveness of this system."
"That's right!" Qiu Ding clenched his fists, the light in his eyes never disappearing, "Quick, explode quickly, Master, I've been waiting for this!"
Yu Cang: "..."
After a moment of silence, he put away all the soul cards.
Forget it... Lei Tie's roar just now has already caused a computer to crash, and who knows what will happen this time.
Speaking of which, the laboratory environment is not enough to test this kind of weapon... We have to find a bigger place.
"Okay, that's all for today."
Yu Cang walked aside, yawned, and placed the set of mechanical soul cards on the table.
"There are still quite a few issues with this set of soul cards. Yunqing, take a look at the patterns on these soul cards first... Can you learn them within a day?"
"That's enough." Lin Yunqing nodded.
"Okay... These Soul Cards should be able to pass the initial review... I'll refine the rest later." Yu Cang stretched lazily and walked out of the testing area. "Give me a copy of the test video later, and I'll send it to Teacher Yang."
"Okay." Lin Yunqing slapped away Qiu Ding's hand, which was trying to steal the deck, and put the entire deck into his pocket. "By the way, Senior, a few laboratories came to me and wanted some 'Fusion' Soul Cards for experiments."
"Fusion..." Yu Cang paused.
This system, which he had first brought out, seemed to have been neglected by him for a long time...
The main reason is that the resonance problem of this soul card has not been solved. Until now, only Yu Cang can make it, and he has not yet found the universal fusion formula, so it is not easy to go deeper.
"Which lab?"
"Laboratory No. 7, the host is Qiu Ying... Her mentor is Guan Qingrui."
"...Okay, just give it to her." Yu Cang nodded.
"I see."
Yu Cang waved his hand and was about to leave when he saw Qiu Ding approaching him cheerfully: "Master, hey, Master... well, look, we still have a lot of time, why don't you give me a set of this deck so I can have some fun... I mean, let me learn from it too!"
"Oh?" Yu Cang's eyes shifted slightly, "You also know how to make cards?"
"Of course!" Qiu Ding patted his chest. "I scored 270 on the comprehensive card maker exam during the college entrance exam..."
"He only scored 75 points." Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses. "I checked when you came for the job application... By the way, the full score is 300."
"Uh..." Qiu Ding's expression froze.
"Alas." Yu Cang patted Qiu Ding's shoulder with a look of pity on his face. "It's okay. Seventy-five is pretty impressive."
"Master!" Qiu Ding's face flushed.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Yu Cang smiled and said, "I can't give it to you, but I can call you next time for the test. How about this... go and fix the computer that just broke down. If you can fix it, I'll let you come next time. How about that?"
"Is it true, Master?" Qiu Ding's eyes lit up.
"If you really do, go ahead."
"Okay!" Qiu Ding nodded heavily, then turned around and went straight to the computer.
Yu Cang smiled.
This kid is so easy to fool.
Turning around and coming to another room, Gu Jieshuang was sitting with Qi'er, fiddling with a puzzle.
When Yu Cang arrived, Yu Qier had just put the last piece of the puzzle back in its place, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Great! Qi'er is so awesome!" Gu Jieshuang also had a sincere smile on her face.
"Brother!" Qi'er spotted Yu Cang, so she jumped off the stool and came to Yu Cang's feet holding the puzzle board, "Qi'er put it together!"
"Hmm~ Qi'er is awesome!" Yu Cang squatted down and rubbed Qi'er's head. "How are you doing here, Qi'er?"
"I'm so happy! My sister is with me and we played a lot of games..."
"That's good." Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the environment here does not make Qi'er too uneasy.
Yu Cang quietly cast a grateful look at Gu Jieshuang, in return she gave him a smile with a bright look on her face.
Qi'er poked his little head out from the puzzle board and looked straight at Yu Cang. After a moment, he said, "Brother, what's your name?"
"As for me..." Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, then realized that he hadn't even let Qi'er formally get to know him yet, so he said seriously, "My name is Yu Cang, Yu as in Yu, and Cang as in Cang Tian."
“Can you teach me how to write?”
"Okay." Yu Cang picked up the girl and walked to the table on the side. He took out an unused notebook and said, "Look, write this first, and then this..."
The girl watched Yu Cang write carefully. When he finished, she picked up the pen and imitated him by writing Yu Cang's name on the paper.
Although it is crooked, you can tell that Qi'er wrote it very carefully.
After finishing writing, Qi'er bit her lip lightly and suddenly turned around and asked, "What about my sister?"
"Me?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned, but then smiled and said, "My sister's name is a bit complicated... Come, I'll teach you how to write it."
As Gu Jieshuang put pen to paper, Qi'er's eyebrows wrinkled visibly. After she finished writing, she pouted, but still wrote Gu Jieshuang's name carefully.
"I will learn it as soon as possible!" The girl looked serious, as if she had made some great decision.
"Okay~ Keep going~" Gu Jieshuang leaned on the edge of the table, tilted her face to the side, and looked at Qi'er's cute little expression, her eyes filled with smiles.
At this time, Yu Cang rubbed the girl's head and said, "Then... can Qi'er write her own name?"
"I will!" Qi'er was full of confidence. He picked up the pen and wrote between Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang's names.
Watching Qi'er finish writing his name, Yu Cang smiled and said, "Oh, Qi'er, you wrote it wrong. Your Yu and my Yu are not the same character..."
"I didn't write it wrong." Qi'er bit her lip, then raised her head and looked at Yu Cang with pleading eyes, "Brother, I don't want that surname. Let me have this surname, okay..."
Yu Cang's words stopped in his mouth. Looking at Qi'er's eyes, he didn't have the strength to say no.
"Okay." Yu Cang said.
A smile appeared on Yu Qier's face. She turned slightly sideways and reached out to hold Yu Cang's arm in her arms.
"Brother, you and sister should always be together, okay?"
"Eh, eh?" Gu Jieshuang, who was lying on the table watching people eating melons, suddenly jumped up, her face visibly reddened, "I... me, I... I..."
Yu Cang smiled helplessly. He patted Qi'er's head and said, "I really want to agree to your request, but I have something I need to do alone. Before I finish that, I can't agree to something that takes so long."
Qi'er's hands tightened: "Can't Qi'er follow too?"
"No, it will be dangerous."
"Qier is not afraid." The girl said without hesitation, "Brother, it was Qier's ignorance yesterday that led to you getting involved... Qier really wants to leave there. Brother is willing to help Qier out, and Qier doesn't mind following you to any dangerous place..."
Yu Cang's eyes lightened, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Qi'er say:
"Qi'er is not a burden, Qi'er can help brother!"
After saying that, the girl closed her eyes. From her expression, it seemed that she was secretly exerting strength. Then, Yu Cang clearly felt that, just like that day, a stream of pure soul energy flowed into his body, the kind that could be used directly without regard to the repulsion between soul energies!
But in contrast, the lines on Qi'er's body became deeper and deeper!
"Qier, stop!" Yu Cang was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled his hand out of Qier's arms!
The soul energy connection was instantly broken, and Qi'er opened his eyes tiredly: "Brother, I can help..."
"You are not allowed to use it in the future, do you hear me?" Yu Cang's tone became a little heavier.
At this time, an interface appeared in front of Yu Cang, which was an entry recorder.
The entry extraction on Qier is completed.
The entry extraction is complete, and the legendary entry is obtained: [Plunder and Gift], Epic Entry: [Energy Drain], Rare Entry: [Young Son], Common Entry: [Incomplete]
Yu Cang frowned.
The composition of this entry...seems to be related to the abilities that Madam Yu envisioned when she created the banned card.
Plunder and give?
Then, the means by which Qi'er gave himself soul energy just now should have been a gift.
As for looting...
Yu Cang thought of Madam Yu’s eldest son, who had the strange ability to suppress the soul energy well and prevent it from producing soul energy... and the rest of her family, almost all of whom had the ability to directly influence the soul energy well.
So, Qi'er's ability... is to directly plunder the soul energy of a soul card master?
And judging from the reaction just now, Qi'er can actually use the soul energy he plundered directly after giving it to others, without any soul energy rejection at all!
Because he happened to be making related soul cards recently, he knew how difficult it was to do this... I have to say, although Madam Yu is hateful, she is indeed a real talent... No, what am I thinking.
Yu Cang shook his head.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
No matter how powerful Qi'er's abilities are, she will not use them... Judging from Qi'er's reaction just now, Madam Yu has become her psychological shadow, and she is even unwilling to use the same surname as her. In this situation, asking the girl to use Madam Yu's abilities is tantamount to tearing open the wound in the girl's heart over and over again.
Moreover, the essence of this ability is a banned card. No one who uses a banned card will live long... Oh, it seems there is one, the lord of the Undead Village outside the borders of Yan Country... But Yu Cang doesn't want to turn himself into a half-human, half-ghost appearance.
"Qi'er..." Gu Jieshuang had calmed down and looked at Qi'er worriedly.
Yu Cang held Qi'er in his arms and gently rubbed her back. "Qi'er, no need. I understand your feelings, but you are still young and have a wonderful future waiting for you. If you want to help me... I can teach you card making and fighting. When you grow up, you will naturally be able to help me. Promise me not to use the abilities left by Madam Yu, especially not to use these abilities to hurt others, okay?"
Qi'er grabbed Yu Cang's clothes and buried his head in Yu Cang's chest. He was silent for a long time before nodding.
…
"Senior, I don't think this is right."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, turned around, and found that it was Lin Yunqing standing at the door.
She rubbed her eyes, and a light flashed across them: "...I just heard Qiu Ding talk about Qi'er."
"……so what."
"I think the first thing we should do now is to test the nature, type, and limits of Qi'er's abilities, and then formulate a corresponding control plan..."
"Lin Yunqing." Yu Cang frowned, "She is not the target of your curiosity."
"I admit that I do have the purpose of seeking knowledge and selfish desires." Lin Yunqing nodded, "But if I may be frank, your excessive care will only have the opposite effect."
Yu Cang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but at this moment, he paused.
He was not stupid. His previous behavior was only because he didn't want Qi'er to suffer and he was absolutely prejudiced against banned cards. Now that Lin Yunqing mentioned it, he immediately understood what she wanted to express.
"It seems you've realized it." Lin Yunqing glanced at Gu Jieshuang, who was still resentful, and said, "Escape can never solve anything. Qi'er's psychological trauma and the risk of a card ban are two different issues. Psychological trauma can be solved through psychological means. As for the risk of a card ban - it won't disappear just because you ignore it, it will only intensify over time.
"Only by fully understanding the various attributes of a chess player's abilities from the outset and actively engaging in corresponding training, turning the unknown into the known, can we avoid panicking when things go wrong."
Gu Jieshuang opened her mouth, but could not say anything.
In the end, he could only hug his arms and puff out his cheeks.
Okay, you have a point... Damn, I’m at a disadvantage this time!
"Besides, since you're going to participate in the college league, you'll definitely have to report Qi'er's presence to the association. At that time, testing will be necessary to eliminate risks. Rather than exposing your scars again at that time, it's better to prepare now."
Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses and continued, "And... excuse my bluntness. Judging from Qiu Ding's description, Madam Yu has been preparing for the production of banned cards at the Fire Star for at least a decade, without revealing a single detail. Yet, Qi'er happened to fall into your arms yesterday. I don't think this is a coincidence. Considering Madam Yu's attitude towards you, I think the current outcome is likely within Madam Yu's expectations."
"That is to say, Qi'er's matter... is far from over."
Hearing this, the girl trembled and subconsciously shrank into Yu Cang's arms. Yu Cang frowned and gently hugged Qi'er.
He looked at Lin Yunqing: "You don't have to be so direct in saying these things."
"...I'm sorry, but I'm only speaking the truth." Lin Yunqing's expression remained unchanged. "In summary, I think we should begin testing as soon as possible, urging Qi'er to control his power and prepare countermeasures. If possible, find a way to reverse the card ban—of course, based on common sense, I don't think that's possible."
Yu Cang rubbed Qi'er's head and sighed.
He looked up and said, "I will. But now, let's deal with the armament overhaul."
What Lin Yunqing said does make sense.
But - let's do some psychological work on Qi'er first, at least for a while, to let her relax a little. After all, if Qi'er is always nervous, there will be many more interference factors in the test.
Lin Yunqing nodded: "I believe you will make the right judgment. During this time, I will search for some documents related to the banned cards and make preparations. Don't worry, no matter how the situation develops, I will help you."
"……Thanks."
"Then I'll go get busy."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Before leaving, Lin Yunqing's gaze fell on Qi'er. The corners of her eyes twitched, as if it was a sign of a smile, but Qi'er's look of vigilance and caution made her give up the idea.
…Never mind, it’s not important.
Turning around, Lin Yunqing left.
"Boss..." Gu Jieshuang stepped forward, "What are you going to do?"
"Let's wait until everything is settled." Yu Cang lowered his head and tapped the forehead of the girl in his arms. "Don't worry, Qi'er, we will all protect you... That sister is not a bad person."
"Well... Qi'er knows." The girl nodded.
But Lin Yunqing's temperament and eyes always reminded her of bad things.
Before, she thought it was a temperament similar to Madam Yu...but now, she felt something different.
There was still hypocritical love in Madam Yu's eyes and tone, but Lin Yunqing... had nothing. She just looked at her with curiosity... No, not at her, but at the forbidden card in her body.
Thinking of this, the girl felt a little more relaxed.
Being emotionless can sometimes be more reassuring than being pretentious.
Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Qi'er who had relaxed.
Just as he was about to continue comforting Qi'er, the girl suddenly raised her head and said seriously, "Brother, come on over to the test and training that sister mentioned. Qi'er will do her best to cooperate!"
Yu Cang was stunned.
Qi'er continued, "This place is something I never dared to imagine before. And you, brother... and I, sister, are people who only appear in fairy tales. Qi'er, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. No matter what I face next, I can handle it!"
Yu Cang's eyes softened all of a sudden.
"Okay, don't worry, brother will drive away all dangers."
"Um!"
"Boss!" Gu Jieshuang came up to Yu Cang, "I'll help you too!"
"Okay." Yu Cang put the chess piece on the ground, "But now... let's focus on the major military upgrade."
After the initial review, he will have to go to the military region with the results.
That place is the safest in the entire Yan Country. No matter what plans and tentacles Madam Yu has, it is impossible for her to reach there... Moreover, there are many professionals in the army, and there are also many powerful people who know something about the banned cards. It is even said that there is a mysterious military department that specializes in research on the containment and controllability of banned cards.
Perhaps... I can take advantage of this major military overhaul to gain some relevant knowledge, or even get help from professionals.
but.
Mrs. Yu’s hidden dangers do need to be taken seriously.
Yu Cang frowned.
What kind of organization could she be behind? That burly man seemed to have mentioned something about "sect" and "desolate" at the end... I need to check.
Mrs. Yu also knew her parents and seemed to be quite clear about their plans at that time... Damn it, why hasn't Shen Zheng replied to her message yet?
By the way, ...when you have time later, go ask Li Anjiu. Their investigation should have results soon.
As a party involved, it is reasonable to have some right to know.
