Chapter 108 Yu Cang: I am on the fifth floor this time
Yu Cang was thinking about this when suddenly his personal terminal moved and a message came in.
He took a look and saw it was Ren Zheng's.
"You little brat, come to my office right now!"
Yu Cang touched his nose.
It seems someone told the old man what happened yesterday.
...It just so happens that he also needs some help from Ren Zheng.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Jie Shuang, you stay here and help. I'll go find the principal."
"Okay, boss."
"Come on, Qi'er." Yu Cang took the girl's hand, "I'll take you to see an elder."
"Okay." The girl agreed obediently.
…
Bang bang bang.
“…Please come in.”
Yu Cang pushed the door open and walked in.
"Principal... you're looking for me?" Yu Cang was about to blurt out the word "old man", but Qi'er was following him, which made him feel weird. So he simply called the principal first, "Come on, Qi'er, call me grandpa."
"Hello, Grandpa." Qi'er clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and called out crisply.
There is nothing wrong with his actions.
Seeing this, Ren Zheng couldn't help but hold back the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth, and turned them into a few coughs.
"Stinky... ahem, um... Xiao Cang, sit down first."
Yu Cang carried Qi'er to the sofa and sat next to her: "What's the matter?"
"How dare you ask me this?" Ren Zheng gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress the urge to curse. "You really know how to join in the fun... The snow mountain incident is still in the past, and now you're bringing it up with the banned card again?"
Yu Cang smiled and was about to explain when Qi'er in his arms spoke.
The girl placed one hand on her chest and looked at Ren Zheng with her big, watery eyes. She said pitifully, "I'm sorry, Grandpa... It's Qi'er's fault. It was Qi'er who dragged my brother into this trouble..."
Ren Zheng: "...then you won't wait, wait..."
Qi'er bit her lip lightly: "It's all my fault for being too impatient. If only I could be more patient..."
Ren Zheng: "...Forget it, I won't bother with you this time. Next time you encounter something like this, just call me directly. Do you understand?"
Although the Fire Star is a relatively remote place, if you are serious, it can barely be considered in the urban area of the ancient city... Normally he certainly cannot go to such a place, but in a crisis situation, if he goes there to take action, as long as he writes a better report afterwards and exaggerates the crisis a little more, it can be considered a formal action.
Ren Zheng still has some face.
At worst, he can always ask some people for help.
but……
Looking at Qi'er biting her lips and looking so pitiful, Ren Zheng frowned with a headache.
Is this the power of a banned card?
No wonder it was banned. Yu Cang, a fourth-level soul card master, brought Qi'er with him, and even he, the guardian of the country, couldn't resist it!
Who can still be angry when such a cute child looks at you like this!
It can’t be done, even myths can’t do it!
Yu Cang rubbed Qi'er's little head. The girl shrank her neck, but her expression still looked guilty.
"Okay, I don't blame you, Qi'er." Yu Cang comforted.
Where Ren Zheng couldn't see, Qi'er stretched out her little hand and made an "OK" gesture towards Yu Cang, indicating that there was nothing wrong with her and it was all just a show.
Yu Cang couldn't help but smile.
You are such a scheming chess player!
However, seeing the girl defending herself in front of Ren Zheng, Yu Cang was very moved.
While I was touched, I also felt a little sad.
How could such a young child have such scheming and acting skills? It must have been "trained" by Madam Yu!
When Yu Cang thought about how Qi'er had behaved like this before, probably just to save himself from suffering at the hands of Madam Yu, he couldn't help but get furious with Madam Yu.
Ren Zheng didn't see Qi'er's gesture. Seeing the girl's expression, he thought that his attitude frightened her, so he could only secretly glare at Yu Cang, and then tried to soften his expression:
"Hey, sweetheart, don't be sad. Grandpa doesn't blame you... Be good, don't cry, don't cry. It was Grandpa's attitude just now that was rude. How about Grandpa buy you some candy?"
Ren Zheng had no children and no experience in coaxing children. He was forcing himself to act like this, and Yu Cang felt awkward for him.
However, after seeing Ren Zheng's expression, Qi'er's originally guilty expression eased a little, and then he naturally "burst into laughter".
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she smiled broadly at Ren Zheng: "Thank you, Grandpa. Qi'er isn't sad anymore... Qi'er knows that Grandpa is doing this for your brother's good."
"Ouch..." Ren Zheng was completely captivated by Qi'er's smile.
It’s broken… I regret not having children.
He didn't interact with many children, and perhaps the only one he spent a long time with was Yu Cang... The key point was that Yu Cang wasn't as likable as Qi'er when he was a child!
You were a very naughty kid back then, which made Ren Zheng very glad that he didn't have to worry about taking care of a child.
On the other side, Yu Cang sighed.
The poor old man was played around by the girl.
"Alright." Yu Cang patted the girl's head, signaling her that it was okay, "Let's get down to business."
"Ahem, okay." Ren Zheng sat back in his chair. "I've heard about the Fire Star incident... You did fine, but there's something I need to ask you."
Yu Cang nodded: "You say."
Ren Zheng's expression was serious: "Why did you go to the Fire Star Club?"
"I...?" Yu Cang was silent for a moment. "Because I've been busy with the major military upgrades recently, one of my ideas is related to firearms, so I'm looking for inspiration... Is there any problem?"
Hearing this, Ren Zheng frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Was it your own idea to go and attack the Fire Star? Or did someone else guide you to this idea?"
Yu Cang stroked his chin, recalled his experience a few days ago, and finally nodded affirmatively: "It is indeed my own idea."
"Is that so... That's strange." Ren Zheng stood up and walked to the window. "No one guided you, how could it be such a coincidence..."
"What's wrong?"
"..." Ren Zheng sighed, turned around, and threw a document in front of Yu Cang. "That Yu Wanqing was your parents' college classmate. Her husband, Chang Weimin, is a senior member of the Faraway Club... Back then, it was Yu Wanqing who introduced your parents to the Faraway Club."
"What?" Yu Cang quickly picked up the document. The more he looked down, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Ren Zheng continued, "Yu Wanqing is incredibly secretive. Card makers of your parents' caliber have met her so many times, yet they never realized she was using a banned card. And yet, someone like her actually had her...daughter run into you on the very day she completed a banned card. It's such a coincidence, it's hard to believe she didn't do it on purpose."
"I see..." Yu Cang put down the materials and hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's right, I have something to tell you... At the end of the battle, Madam Yu told me that the reason my parents... disappeared was because they 'knew too much.'"
"Oh?" Ren Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Knowing too much about what?"
"I don't know. She didn't elaborate."
Ren Zheng took a deep breath and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that they discovered some secret of the Far Wasteland Club. During that expedition, the Far Wasteland Club also suffered heavy losses, so it's possible that they clashed with them... The other possibility is that they discovered some secret within the True Dragon's Death Land. Based on the current intelligence, both possibilities are not unlikely."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang's expression changed. "Any other information?"
"How should I put it...Xiao Cang, have you ever felt strange about the place where the real dragon died?"
"What's strange?"
"After all, according to rumors, the True Dragon Deathland is just a dangerous place left behind by the Ancestral Dragon Emperor after his failed pursuit of immortality. Theoretically, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor is a myth. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot surpass the scope of myth. But now Yan State has two mythical predecessors, Emperor Chang'an and Ye Yan, in charge. They also possess the eight mythical soul cards. Even if Emperor Myth is limited by his lifespan and needs to remain dormant frequently, the national strength of Yan State with Ye Yan alone is stronger than at any time in history. How could they allow such a dangerous place to continue to exist within their territory?"
Yu Cang frowned slightly: "So, why?"
"Because... Emperor Zulong is very likely still alive."
"this……"
"Of course, saying he's alive isn't entirely accurate." Ren Zheng sighed and sat back in his chair. "A thousand years ago, Emperor Shenhua traveled across Yan Nation, searching for lost myths. He once risked his life to venture deep into the True Dragon's Death Zone... At the time, Emperor Shenhua was merely a guardian of the nation. He narrowly escaped death in the True Dragon's Death Zone and, by some strange combination of circumstances, ended up in the core area."
Ren Zheng paused before saying, "It is said that there, the young Emperor Shenhua... met the Ancestral Dragon who had just awakened."
"Just happened to... wake up?"
"That's right... The records show that the sun and the moon hung simultaneously at opposite ends of the sky. A winding, real dragon crouched beneath the sky, its head resting quietly on the side of the dragon throne... A young man in a dragon robe was sleeping on the throne, his forehead in his hand. However, no breathing could be heard."
"That man is the Zulong Emperor?"
"...most likely." Ren Zheng nodded. "Before the Dragon Throne, there was a general in heavy armor holding a spear guarding it. Emperor Shenhua was barely a match for him. Just when he was about to be killed, the man on the Dragon Throne woke up."
Yu Cang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and felt his scalp tingling.
Ren Zheng continued, "However, the Zulong Emperor did not take action, but instead expressed doubts... Emperor Shenhua stated his intentions, and the Zulong Emperor said "Yes." Then, he bestowed a Mythical Soul Card, Zhulong's Tongzhong Fire, upon Emperor Shenhua."
"The fire in the center... could it be..."
"That's right." Ren Zheng nodded. "It's the mythical soul card 'Candle' that I possess now. A part of a myth is still a myth... After a brief conversation, Emperor Shenhua was sent out of the True Dragon Death Zone, and later ordered that the True Dragon Death Zone could only be controlled and explored. In fact, my application for action was rejected that year for this reason. Emperor Shenhua once said that Zulong had an agreement with him that if Zulong woke up one day and noticed 'Candle' in the True Dragon Death Zone, he would take it back. However, Emperor Shenhua later speculated that Zulong might only wake up once every hundreds or thousands of years, so it wouldn't be such a coincidence."
"I see..." Yu Cang suddenly realized, "Then, what does this have to do with my parents?"
"This... is just my guess, but it's very likely." Ren Zheng paused and said, "You should know that three thousand years ago, the Yan Kingdom was in chaos, right?"
"Well... that was when the wild beasts first appeared. Then, within eight hundred years, three myths successively saved the world, and the Ancestral Dragon Emperor was one of them."
Ren Zheng said: "At that time, although many spirit beasts were infected by the wild, in fact, most of the wild beasts on the land of Yan Country were actually from another world."
Yu Cang nodded: "I remember it. It was mentioned in the history textbook. It's called 'The Desolate Heaven'."
"Yes, but it's only briefly mentioned in the textbooks. You might not know, but historical records show that at that time, as long as you looked up, you could see the world wall of two worlds squeezed together, occupying the entire sky. Endless desolate beasts flew down from the sky, and the entire Yan Kingdom was almost turned into a purgatory... Combined with the information I received yesterday, I now think that the Youhuang Heaven Realm is very likely a world that has been completely infected by the desolate world!"
Qi'er clenched her little hands. She couldn't understand most of what Ren Zheng said, but she could sense the crisis contained in it.
"What happened next?" Yu Cang asked.
"Afterwards... I'm not sure, the history books don't record it, but what's certain is that it must have been because of the intervention of the Zulong Emperor... After you told me about the crisis in Huang, I checked a lot of historical materials. Although many records are difficult to distinguish between true and false, it can be roughly confirmed that the time when the Youhuang Heavenly Realm disappeared and the time when the True Dragon Death Land appeared basically coincided. Emperor Shenhua also said after returning from the True Dragon Death Land that he felt a very terrifying aura of 'Huang' under the Zulong Emperor's dragon throne! But he wasn't sure what it was.
"So I suspect the reason for the True Dragon's Deathland's existence is definitely not due to the pursuit of immortality as rumored. Judging from the description in the Emperor's myth, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor shouldn't be that lowly. The real reason is most likely to suppress the legendary 'Desolate Heaven'!"
Yu Cang seemed to understand something. "So... my parents most likely knew some information about the Desolate Realm, which is why they were attacked? ... But, in a world infected by the Desolate Realm, what is there worth plotting against? ... And even if the Far Desolate Club had such a plan, why did they accept outsiders like my parents? Doesn't that just increase the risk of exposure?"
"Well..." Ren Zheng's expression gradually became serious. "I guess... they are very likely trying to release the Desolate Heaven Realm!"
"Release the Youhuang Heaven? Why? What benefits can this bring to them?" Yu Cang frowned.
"Benefits..." Ren Zheng paused, then raised his head and looked at Yu Cang. "Do you still remember what the last strong man in the Fire Star shouted?"
"Cult? Desolate?"
"That's the benefit." Ren Zheng's face was so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out. "You're still young, so you might not know. But you should know something about the 'Ancient Mountain Kingdom' that perished four hundred years ago."
"Well...it's said to be due to civil unrest and natural disasters..."
"That's right. But do you know the name of the organization that started the rebellion in the ancient mountain kingdom?"
“…No, it’s just…”
"That's right, it's the Desolate Sect!" Ren Zheng took out another document and threw it in front of Yu Cang. "An organization calling itself the Desolate Sect obtained a technology to control desolate beasts from somewhere, and then wreaked havoc in the ancient country of Mountain Realm. Coupled with the sudden natural disaster, the ancient country of Mountain Realm was destroyed in a very short time. At that time, the prince of the Mountain Realm once asked us for help. Because the Desolate Sect is a complete anti-human cult, and its tentacles have subtly extended to the territories of other countries, four countries, including Yan Country, have sent reinforcements. The current Ye Yan Ye Shenhua was promoted to a myth in that battle..."
"The myth has been revealed?" Yu Cang hissed, "Then in the end... why did the Mountain Realm still perish?"
"The Mountain Realm is a different dimension nestled within the mountains. They lived there, shielded from the invasions of wild beasts, but this also meant they weren't overly prepared. Once controlled, the wild beasts advanced almost unimpeded, catching them completely off guard. At the end of the war, although the Desolate Cult was annihilated, the Mountain Realm was completely unsuitable for human habitation. Without this barrier, they perished, and their survivors scattered to join other nations... After all, not every place in this world is capable of resisting wild beasts."
At this point, Ren Zheng sneered: "Now it seems that this Desolate Sect is probably resurrected again."
"What should we do then?"
"What should we do? Of course we have to investigate." Ren Zheng calmed down a little. "Thanks to you and Ye Lai's reminders and intelligence, we noticed this crisis in advance. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to deal with it after the Desolate Sect has infiltrated the Mountain Realm Ancient Country...Okay, I'm just telling you about this so that you can have a clear idea of what's going on, so that you don't make any more mistakes by investigating it yourself."
"Uh..." Yu Cang paused, "Why are you investigating so randomly... Do I look like someone who would cause trouble..."
"Aren't you?" Ren Zheng snorted. "Let me guess, are you planning to go find that Shen Zheng next, learn about the Far Wasteland Club from him, and then be led by the nose by the few clues he randomly provides, and then crash into the Far Wasteland Club's headquarters and start a thrilling adventure? I've written the script for you, come on, perform it."
"Um...it's not that exaggerated." Yu Cang laughed awkwardly, feeling as if he had been exposed. "I was actually planning to go see Li Anjiu first..."
"I still don't know you! To be honest, that Shen Zheng is from the Far Wasteland Club, and he's on our investigation list! Don't be fooled by his innocent appearance and the injuries he sustained in the snowy mountains. Who knows if this isn't a self-torture ploy to gain your trust? He said that soul pointer belonged to your parents, but who knows if the direction it's pointing to is a decoy?"
Hearing this, Yu Cang frowned slightly and fell into thought.
It seems... that this is indeed possible.
"But... I'm just a level 4 Soul Card Master. Is it worth it for them to go to so much trouble to do this?"
If I hadn't taken action at Zulong Snow Mountain, Shen Zheng might really have died... Is it worth doing this just to gain my trust?
……wrong.
Yu Cang suddenly realized that this was also a misunderstanding.
After he and Gu Jieshuang rescued Shen Zheng, he immediately fainted... The timing was too perfect, and now thinking about it, Shen Zheng only had a wound on his leg. At that time, he just thought that Shen Zheng had lost too much blood. Now it seems that even Guluo could hold on for so long after breaking his arm. Shen Zheng is a sixth-level soul card master and a professional explorer. How could he be knocked unconscious by such a small wound?
Xueman could handle the surrounding snow wolves alone, so how could he make Shen Zheng so embarrassed?
Moreover, from another perspective, Shen Zheng had already survived for such a long time, so how could he faint so confidently when he saw two strangers? How did he know whether he and Gu Jieshuang were bad people?
He is pretending to be faint!
...Yes, if we assume that Shen Zheng had bad intentions, the original timeline should be: they first rescued Shen Zheng and bandaged him, then his accomplices triggered an avalanche, and when Yu Cang could no longer hold on, he suddenly woke up and saved them both.
The timing was also right; the avalanche occurred just after he had bandaged himself, exactly to the second!
Sometimes, only by stepping out of that time period can you realize how coincidental it is.
In this way, he and Shen Zheng saved each other once, and they had a life-and-death friendship. Yu Cang would definitely trust him very much!
It was just that he seemed to be cheating too hard, so Shen Zheng had no chance to attack at all...
But later, Shen Zheng seemed to adjust his strategy and used his parents' affairs to get close to him... Since he was Shen Zheng's savior, Yu Cang was really not on guard against him at the beginning.
Sometimes, people tend to trust the person they saved more than the person who saved them... provided that the person they saved is not a scumbag.
Coupled with his concern for his parents, he had almost no doubt about the authenticity of the soul energy pointer.
But now that I think about it, these worries of mine were probably deliberately induced by Shen Zheng through his words...
Yu Cang looked solemn.
It was a pity that I confidently exposed Shen Zheng's intention when I was in the card-making house... Now that I think about it, it was probably Shen Zheng who deliberately made me think so. Yu Cang thought he was on the second floor, but Shen Zheng was on the third floor. Fortunately, I have Ren Zheng on my side. He is on the fourth floor, which made me think of the fifth floor.
It can be imagined that if Ren Zheng had not reminded him, when the soul energy pointer in his hand suddenly pointed to a place outside the real dragon's death zone, he would definitely dive in!
"But why?"
"I don't know about that." Ren Zheng snorted. "But you should be able to guess that since they knew Madam Yu was from the Desolate Sect... then she definitely recommended your parents to join the Far Desolate Club on purpose. Your parents had something they wanted! But later, maybe your parents accidentally found out too much, so they didn't dare to let them out, so they had to let them 'disappear' in the True Dragon's Death Zone... Now, it's very likely that they have set their sights on you."
"So," Yu Cang frowned, "they want something that my parents and I both have? ...But, what is it... Could it be the Death Dragon Skeleton? But I used this card in front of Madam Yu, and she didn't react at all."
"It's hard to say what it is, but no matter what, even if they didn't have any plans before, now that the chess piece is in your hands, they will definitely target you... So you definitely can't escape. From now on, no matter where you go, you must report to me. Do you understand?"
Yu Cang nodded. After hearing what Ren Zheng said, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.
So, I've been targeted for a long time...
After saying so much, Ren Zheng felt a little thirsty. He picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "By the way, that Li Anjiu...you shouldn't meet him for the time being."
Yu Cang was stunned: "Why, why... Li Anjiu also has a problem? That can't be, he is quite upright."
Hiss, could it be that Li Anjiu gave himself a little note in the police station in order to gain his trust?
Yu Cang took a deep breath.
How could this world suddenly become so malicious towards me?
He had thought that these people and events were the normal, clichéd experiences that a protagonist would have after obtaining a cheat...
Ren Zheng: "...That's not the case. You don't have to think too much about someone you meet. Li Anjiu is still trustworthy...People from the Public Security Bureau may have files that are cleaner than their faces."
"Well……"
"I'm not letting you see him for another reason." Ren Zheng rubbed his brows. "Li Anjiu's report said that a shadow emerged from the body of the burly man at the end. That's most likely the source of Huang's infection. Li Anjiu has been isolated. Until he's been thoroughly examined, you can't see him even if you want to."
"Is that so..." Yu Cang frowned, "How is he now?"
He still has a good impression of Li Anjiu. If possible, he really doesn't want him to be entangled in something like infection...
"For now, it's okay." Ren Zheng sighed. "The Public Security Bureau has tried many detection methods and found nothing abnormal... But this is the most wrong thing. After all, all the security officers present saw the phantom, and combined with the reaction of the strong man, it is basically impossible for it to be an illusion. If it can't be detected, it means there is no way to counter it."
After a moment of silence, Yu Cang suddenly looked up and said, "If possible, please let me see him."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ren Zheng frowned.
"I might have a solution."
"…Are you serious?"
"Yes, very serious." Yu Cang nodded with a serious expression.
The solution he was referring to was, of course, the entry recorder!
If we can extract relevant entries from Li Anjiu, perhaps we can see from the side what happened to him, and even find a way to counter it!
Ren Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can arrange it... but it won't be done in a short period of time. The Public Security Bureau will have to use all the existing conditions before it can be your turn. After all, to be on the safe side, they won't allow anyone to have direct contact with Li Anjiu until they are at their wit's end."
"Yeah, I understand."
After all, no one knew whether the phantom would take the opportunity to lurk in Yu Cang's body and be taken away by him.
"Now, combined with the intelligence you and Ye Lai provided, the higher-ups have pretty much mapped out the overall image and purpose of the Desolate Sect. In short, it's pretty close, and the relevant investigation is underway. Just listen to my advice, kid. Don't worry about it. He's not someone you should be thinking about."
"Okay, I understand." Yu Cang blinked.
Sure enough, the state apparatus is still reliable.
"The only person who remains suspicious is Yu Wanqing." Ren Zheng sighed, his mind unsettled. "Based on the current intelligence, her behavior is quite different from that of the Desolate Sect itself... It's safe to say that without her, the Desolate Sect might not have come into our sight so early."
"Huh?" Yu Cang was surprised. "Wasn't it that strong man who exposed the Desolate Sect..."
"No, according to our technical staff's later analysis, that's not the case." Ren Zheng shook his head. "On the surface, it seems that the strong man was desperate and had no choice but to die together. But there was no need for him to shout out the name of the Desolate Sect. And from the analysis and subsequent interrogation, Mrs. Yu should have been aware of the Public Security Bureau's actions at that time, but the personnel outside received orders completely contrary to evacuation, and they had no advance awareness of our encirclement... This means that it was actually Yu Wanqing who sold them out.
"Yu Wanqing was fully capable of completing her ban earlier..." Ren Zheng coughed lightly, "completed her plan and escaped unscathed. This move of selling out her subordinates is a bit meaningless. Combined with the fact that Yu Wanqing deliberately exposed Qi'er to your sight before... It can be said that the fact that this incident was handled so quickly and we were able to obtain so many clues is actually thanks to her."
Yu Cang frowned: "You're not going to tell me that she is actually a good person, are you?"
In his arms, Qi'er lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"That's impossible. No matter what her purpose is, the crimes she committed cannot be erased. These are two different matters." Ren Zheng said decisively. "It's just that in our analysis, there's a high probability that Yu Wanqing has had some kind of conflict with the Desolate Sect. So we think this is a point we can exploit. Maybe she will be our breakthrough!"
"...Okay, anyway, just worry about it." Yu Cang laughed, "I won't worry about Madam Yu's affairs. I'll be going to the military district in a few days anyway. Doesn't this count as running around?"
"You kid..." Ren Zheng smiled and shook his head. "I didn't expect that Lei Wanqing would capture you without you noticing... Well, it's better to go to the Armaments Reformation and broaden your horizons."
Ren Zheng's eyes lingered on Qi'er for a moment, and he asked casually, "What are you going to do about Qi'er?"
"After this period of time, I plan to test Qi'er's abilities thoroughly and take protective measures."
"Well, that's good. I was afraid that you would be so nagging and reluctant to do it." Ren Zheng laughed, but he saw Qi'er tremble from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly said nervously: "That, that... Grandpa didn't mean that. Grandpa is also concerned about Qi'er's health... That..."
"Well... Qi'er is fine." The girl took a deep breath.
Yu Cang rolled his eyes.
Come on, looking at the situation, it’s unclear who is the one who is reluctant to take action.
"I'll go back and say hello to Lei Wanqing." Ren Zheng gritted his teeth, as if he was very angry just thinking about this name. "Have him take you to the treatment center... There are many card makers who study banned cards there. They should be able to give you a lot of advice."
"Really?" Yu Cang's eyes lit up. "That's great! ...Um, thank you."
He knew that asking Ren Zheng to ask Lei Wanqing for help was a big deal.
When they meet, the atmosphere is harmonious if they don't fight.
"Alright, stop talking about that useless stuff. I'll be very satisfied if you can just be content." Ren Zheng waved his hand. "Let's go. I'm fine now... Spend more time with Qi'er and don't let her be sad. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, you don't have to tell me." Yu Cang stood up, and Qi'er jumped off the sofa.
"Goodbye, Grandpa~"
"Oh, okay, bye, Qi'er..."
…
After Yu Cang left, Ren Zheng leaned back in his chair, looked at the documents on the table, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Desolate Sect, Far Desolate Club..." Ren Zheng covered his head. The dusk light poured in from the window, casting a shadow under him. "Shuhong, Xuezhi, what are you..."
The hope I had just seen a few days ago seemed to be shattered just like that.
He hoped more than anyone else that the soul energy pointer was real.
But reason told him that the probability was extremely small.
When their people went to investigate Shen Zheng, they found that he had already left and no one knew where he had gone.
There is also the Yuanhuang Club. Only some ordinary members were found in their several bases. They were all confused when they were caught, and after interrogation, no useful information was obtained.
As for those senior members... most of them have disappeared, and the few that remain are all confused, and there is nothing wrong with the files.
It was said that those senior members were going on an exploration activity...but how could it be such a coincidence.
This is running away!
The reaction of the Far Wilderness Club made them even more certain that there was definitely something fishy going on. Fortunately, the Fire Star incident had only been going on for a day, and with the Public Security Bureau's high-intensity search, it would be difficult for the Far Wilderness Club to leave no clues at all even if they reacted quickly.
I didn’t know that you were doing bad things behind my back before, but now I know, and a net of heaven and earth will be waiting for you!
However, this incident happened too hastily after all. If they could have been detected in advance and allowed to hide quietly, it would definitely be a lot easier than it is now.
"Oh." Ren Zheng sighed.
He raised his head and glanced at the sunset outside the window: "Forget it, I don't want to think about these things."
Picking up his personal terminal, Ren Zheng opened Taobao: "Let me see... what kind of candy should I buy for Qi'er..."
However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find what he wanted, so he threw the terminal on the table.
Really, these candies are obviously of poor quality. What if Qi'er gets sick from eating them?
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth.
"Anyway, we have to find Lei Wanqing for that brat Yu Cang... and by the way, let's ask him if he has any special military supplies..."
…
In the evening, Yang Heli strolled back home.
Well~ this retirement life is so comfortable.
Walking to the bookshelf, Yang Heli looked around and was about to take down a book to read carefully when he saw the personal terminal next to him suddenly vibrate and a file was sent in.
He took a closer look and saw that it was a document sent by Yu Cang, followed by a video.
"Oh...it's for the armament overhaul, right..." Yang Heli said with a smile, "It's only been three days, and you've already made something new...I guess not. It seems they've given up."
Yang Heli nodded as expected.
Normal, normal.
Although he is not a card maker, he has been dealing with soul cards all his life and knows many card makers. He knows too well how difficult it is to invent a soul card.
Not to mention the invention of soul cards.
Even if it is to modify or upgrade a soul card, some card makers have to spend half a day on it.
He also hired many exclusive card makers, but they were all old hands. They would say in the morning that they would deliver the goods in the afternoon, but when you asked them again three days later, the answer would definitely be "Huh?"
He also understood... After all, this required thinking, and it was definitely not because those card makers were lazy and deliberately let him down. Inspiration was not something that could be easily obtained.
Lao Yang has genuine respect for intellectuals.
Thinking this way, he sat down in front of the computer and opened the document. "Maybe I was too confident before, and now it's too early to give up. I can't bear it, so I changed the Yingcao set... Well, young people, it's normal."
Yang Heli picked up a glass of water and began to read with a smile.
"Well, look, isn't this the mechanical soul card...ah?" Yang Heli was stunned.
Isn't it the Yingcao set?
Although he was a little surprised, when he saw the first few words, Lao Yang frowned tightly.
Department of Mechanical Engineering… He had the good fortune to use it.
His evaluation was: flashy but not practical, just a toy.
When he first came into contact with the mechanical soul cards, he was just a level six soul card master. One of his comrades found two soul cards from somewhere and played with them.
He still remembered that it was a robot-like thing, and the soul card was of ordinary quality. But once Lao Yang got hold of it, he had been controlling the robot for less than half a minute when the entire tube of soul energy was used up!
He was a level six soul card master at that time!
A level six soul card master can use an ordinary card for half a minute. Is this reasonable?
"Why did this kid start studying this... Blame it on me." Yang Heli felt quite guilty.
In his opinion, he wasted three days of a genius's precious time.
But since the file was opened, he didn't close it in a hurry, but patiently read it through.
"The Falcon... one shot consumes one tube of soul energy from a Level 4 Soul Card Master? The Killing Star, three tubes? Thunder Roar... hiss, fourteen tubes? If you use more than that, I can't afford it!"
With each level up, a Soul Card Master's Soul Energy limit roughly doubles. After level six, if there's a fortuitous encounter, it might increase slightly, but the difference isn't significant. In other words, the Soul Energy limit for an eighth-level Nation Guardian is essentially sixteen tubes of Soul Energy.
This isn't even a toy... it's a figurine at best.
I just touch it after summoning it, and I can't do anything.
"That shouldn't be the case..." Yang Heli sighed regretfully, "Look, what else is there here... a universal firearms magazine that can store... huh?"
Yang Heli was stunned. He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
"Fuck!"
Lao Yang suddenly jumped up from the stool, his brain thinking rapidly.
Can it store ammunition?
Doesn’t that mean…
Looking at the data on the document, Lao Yang silently calculated in his mind. Not knowing what he was thinking about, his expression gradually became dull.
"Oh my goodness...this is so frustrating."
