Chapter 167 The Sick Jie Shuang
After seeing Guan Qingrui off, Yu Cang closed the door of the laboratory.
Looking at the master certificate in his hand, he still hasn't recovered from the shock.
After the major military overhaul was completed, Yu Cang had indeed begun preparing for the assessment for the Master Card Creator certificate... He had already purchased a lot of information and textbooks online.
Now, that’s not necessary.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang walked back, took out his personal terminal, and returned all the information he purchased online.
"As expected of you, senior." Lin Yunqing seemed to have heard some noise at the door and poked his head out. "You're already a card-making master at such a young age."
"It's still a long way to go..." Yu Cang felt a little guilty.
Master or something...his professional level is definitely up to standard, but as for grandmaster...it's a bit difficult.
Now, apart from using the entry recorder, it is basically impossible for him to make a legendary soul card.
He is not yet worthy of the Grandmaster level.
"Senior, you deserve it."
"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore... By the way, have you passed the Master's Certificate exam yet?"
"I passed the exam." Lin Yunqing nodded. "Just a month before I met you, I just got my master's certificate."
"Is that so... That's good."
I didn't expect that my assistant's card maker level has always been higher than mine.
…
An afternoon passed quickly, and in the evening, Yu Cang returned to the card-making house and put the dim crystal trophy in his bag back to its original place.
Because he needed to extract the entries, he kept the trophy in his bag and carried it with him all day.
Now, it’s finally time to complete the extraction!
Yu Cang rubbed his hands, muttered something, and then turned on the entry recorder at the right time.
I saw that the countdown for that day had just finished.
The entry extraction is complete, and the legendary entry is obtained: [Star Core], epic entry: [Champion], rare entry: [Nightmare], common entry: [Glow]
Another legendary entry!
Yu Cang clenched his fists, not hiding his excitement.
Eh...wait a minute.
Yu Cang looked at this new legendary entry and was suddenly stunned.
Why is it [Star Core]?
Is there any connection between this Phantom Crystal Trophy and this Star Core...?
Yu Cang was a little confused. He opened his personal terminal and tried to search for the Nightmare Boundary and the Phantom Crystal, but there was no useful information.
This alien space is obviously not known to the public.
But it doesn’t matter. If the browser can’t find it, someone will know it.
Yu Cang opened Lei Wanqing's contact information and asked about the origin of the Nightmare Border.
Not long after, Lei Wanqing sent a document over.
Yu Cang clicked it, read it carefully, and his brows gradually raised.
"Border Country, Star Civilization... Is the Nightmare Border actually the edge of the Star Realm?"
A look of surprise appeared on Yu Cang's face.
He knew very well what the astral realm was.
This world is not like the previous life. Outside the planets here is not the boundless universe, but a vast alien space called the star realm.
The gravity within the astral realm is extremely chaotic and full of dangers. A small alien space like the Blue Planet would be captured by its massive gravitational field, embedded in the astral realm like fruit in a pudding.
In other words, the Blue Planet is actually located inside the Star Realm, but the Star Realm will not cause any damage to the alien space in it. On the contrary, it will make these alien spaces more stable to a certain extent.
There are many alien spaces that would have dissipated on their own if they were not enveloped by the astral realm.
Of course, with the current scientific research progress of Blue Star, no alien space outside the star realm has been discovered yet. The "chaos outside the world" that Ye Lai mentioned may be outside the star realm, but Yu Cang has not seen it with his own eyes, so he cannot be sure.
Although the astral realm is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities.
On Blue Star, a global soul card master competition is held every once in a while. The most important reward of this competition is the opportunity to enter the star realm.
This is the only way Yu Cang knows to enter the astral realm... If there is an astral realm entrance deep in the Nightmare border, then this is indeed something worth changing the topic of the major armament overhaul.
Yu Cang pondered for a moment, closed the document, and typed a question to Lei Wanqing: "Then, what about the ghost light crystals? How are these crystals formed?"
Lei Wanqing: "That's still unclear. So far, we've only discovered that it has luminous properties. Everything else is still under study."
"Okay, thank you."
"polite."
…
After turning off his personal terminal, Yu Cang looked at the glowing crystal trophy beside him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The Nightmare Boundary is related to the Astral Realm... The term "Star Core" was extracted from the Phantom Crystal.
He believed that the extraction of terms would never extract anything irrelevant, so didn't that mean... the dim light crystals within the Nightmare Border might actually be the remains of the stars in the sky?
It can't be that the Nightmare Boundary is also a planet, and it is constantly pushing its core to the ground.
Well...it's not impossible, but it's a bit weird.
Yu Cang couldn't help but walk to the window and look up at the night sky.
Countless stars twinkled in the sky, and Yu Cang knew that those starlights were projections from the starry sky.
Now that I think about it... maybe, these starlights are also emitted by a super huge piece of dim crystal, just like the dim crystal sea I saw that day.
But.
Yu Cang was silent.
The massive luminous crystals instead absorb all their own light and don't emit it on their own. Only when the creatures within them activate their abilities do they absorb energy and emit light. If the light emitted by stars operates on this principle, then... could some enormous creature be swimming in the depths of the astral realm?
Yu Cang licked his lips and suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth.
What should I do? I suddenly want to go and see it in person.
At this time, a gust of wind blew past, and Ye Lai flew lightly onto the windowsill and stood beside Yu Cang.
It raised its head and looked at Yu Cang with its big eyes: "Master of this body, you seem very confused."
"...A little bit." Yu Cang lowered his head and touched Ye Lai's back with his hand. "Ye Lai, you are more knowledgeable. Can you tell me, are those stars in the sky shining because of some huge life forms?"
Ye Lai quietly accepted Yu Cang's touch. After a long silence, he said, "Not entirely."
Yu Cang's eyes widened slightly, and then he asked again: "So it really exists? ... Then what else? How do the other stars shine?"
"...the master of this body." Ye Lai gently rubbed his little head against Yu Cang's hand, then raised his head, his eyes suddenly becoming more serious. "Regarding the astral realm... you should go and learn about it yourself. Please forgive my impoliteness, but some knowledge is not safe to be told orally, and it will not help you understand."
"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned.
Is oral communication not safe?
What's the meaning……
Suddenly, he thought of Mr. Ke, who was very popular for a period of time in his previous life.
He turned his gaze to Ye Lai again.
Hmm... Is it similar to Cthulhu, where understanding equals madness?
Or maybe it's not that exaggerated, just like Ye Lai, who will feel something as long as his real name or related things are mentioned?
Yu Cang just felt a little itchy, but seeing Ye Lai's expression, it was obvious that he was not going to tell him, so he could only give up.
It’s true... I’m still too weak now. I’d better wait until later to explore things related to the star realm.
"Okay, then I won't ask."
Yu Cang stretched lazily in front of the window.
Although he knew that the stars in the sky were most likely huge monsters, Yu Cang did not panic too much.
Even if they are very strong, they are far away from Blue Star. Moreover, even if Blue Star is in danger, those myths will definitely take action, so it is not his turn to worry.
Turning around, Yu Cang returned to the bed.
Never mind, go to sleep.
After charging his personal terminal, Yu Cang was about to go to bed when he suddenly had an idea.
I don’t know why... I suddenly have a feeling that if I implant a wave of entries now, it might be able to sell!
There was no basis for it, but he just had this intuition.
...Try it, otherwise you will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
He stood up, took out a soul card from the bedside table, and directly opened the entry recorder.
Let me see, what should I implant...
Well, since the star core has just been extracted, it’s your turn. If it fails, you can just try something else.
As for the rest...
Yu Cang picked and chose in the entry library and tried many combinations of entries, but the best result was to increase the success rate from 0.01% to 0.1%. Although it increased tenfold... it was no different from 0%.
"...Okay, then just pick one at random." Yu Cang sighed and simply ignored the success rate. Instead, he began to select some combinations that interested him. "Well...it's you!"
[Star Core] + [Channel] + [Migration] + [Analysis]!
There's a high probability of failure anyway, so I might as well pick a formula that feels like it will produce something awesome.
I looked at the success rate.
Humph, just 0.09%!
Watch me break it with one blow!
Yu Cang confidently chose the entry to implant, then raised his hand and took a look.
Oh, it failed as expected... Huh? Wait!
Yu Cang's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
The soul card in his hand has changed in appearance and is no longer a blank soul card!
But...it didn't become a legend.
Looking at the effect of the soul card in his hand, Yu Cang couldn't help but touch his head.
This...is this a success or a failure?
Soul Card Name: Destiny Star: Otherworld Passage
category:?
quality:?
property:?
Race:?
ability:
【？ 】：？ ？
…
Yu Cang:?
Looking at this soul card with a string of question marks from head to toe, Yu Cang couldn't help but be filled with questions.
No, what's going on.
The last soul card with a question mark in its description was the Death Dragon Skeleton that Ren Zheng gave him.
Yu Cang still doesn't know what the final effect of this soul card is, nor what the conditions are for activating it.
The presence of a question mark on a Soul Card can only mean that... a certain ability of this card is not included in the standard Soul Card template specified by the World Card Creators Alliance, or the card maker did it intentionally.
Regarding the situation of the dead dragon skeleton, Yu Cang felt that it should be the latter, but this Life Star and the Passage to the Other World was a bit outrageous.
Not only the ability, but also the category, quality, etc. are all question marks... In other words, we know nothing.
Yu Cang placed the soul card under the light and looked at it carefully.
Hmm... the color of the soul card is not any of the five qualities, but a light gray... Could it be a new quality?
But, this shouldn't be the case. I have implanted a legendary and an epic card. Logically, shouldn't I release a legendary card?
Yu Cang hesitated for a moment, stood up, walked outside the card-making room, and then tried to activate this soul card.
But... nothing happened.
Yu Cang frowned.
He couldn't even establish a connection with this soul card, let alone inject soul energy into it... Even if he used the higher-level summoning method, there was no response at all.
Generally speaking, if the quality of a soul card exceeds the level of the soul card master, then the soul card master cannot directly connect it with the soul energy well, but can first establish a shallow connection by placing it in the card box, and then fully connect it with it by sacrificing sacrifices, thereby achieving the purpose of summoning.
However, even if this soul card is placed in the card box, it is impossible to establish even a superficial connection.
What's going on.
Yu Cang was a little confused.
This was the first time he encountered a soul card that he couldn't use at all.
After studying for a while, he still made no progress and had no choice but to return to the card making room.
Arriving at the front desk, Yu Cang casually took out a bottle of developing solution and applied it on it. Suddenly, countless lines appeared under the solution, but... Yu Cang couldn't understand it.
I don’t know what kind of resonance this soul card requires. In short, the requirements are very high, and Yu Cang doesn’t have it.
I tried equipping the [Channel] attribute, but still couldn't resonate with it.
Alas, there is nothing we can do.
In this formula, only one [Channel] is a rare-level item, which he can equip, but he cannot equip the other items.
Yu Cang could only put this soul card aside for the time being and go upstairs.
Before going to bed, he tried a few more entry formulas, but it seemed that the implantation just now had exhausted his luck. In short, no useful soul card appeared afterwards.
Forget it, let’s go to sleep.
…
The next day, Yu Cang got up early and prepared breakfast for Qi'er.
Soon, Qi'er carried the crying girl's baby body and walked out of the room in a daze in his little slippers.
"Qier, go wash your hands and face quickly, it's time to eat."
"I want my brother to hold me..."
"Okay~ I'm coming~"
Qi'er is not tall enough to reach the washbasin in the bathroom. Usually, Yu Cang would prepare some hot water for the girl and pour it into the basin, but she seemed to prefer Yu Cang carrying her to the high washbasin to wash.
Maybe it’s because I like the mirror there.
After washing, Yu Cang carried the girl to her seat in front of the dining table.
After wiping his hands, he suddenly felt... as if something was missing.
Yu Cang frowned slightly and thought carefully for a moment before he figured it out - Gu Jieshuang didn't seem to have sent him a message, let alone clamoring to come over for a free meal...
Come to think of it, it seems that I haven't seen Gu Jieshuang for half a day yesterday. According to common sense, Jieshuang should come to the card-making house whenever he is free.
Yu Cang took out his personal terminal, thought for a moment, took a photo of Qi'er eating noodles in small bites, and sent it to Gu Jieshuang.
"Brother?" The girl raised her head. "What are you doing?"
"It's okay." Yu Cang smiled, "Let's eat."
…
I waited until I finished breakfast, but there was no news from Gu Jieshuang.
This made Yu Cang feel a little uneasy.
That’s not right... Jie Shuang must be up by now.
Yu Cang was puzzled when his personal terminal suddenly rang. Gu Jieshuang finally sent a message:
-
Oh, boss! Sorry, I overslept today!
Yu Cang frowned slightly and typed back:
-
What's wrong? Did something happen yesterday?
-
No... Yesterday, something happened at the Battle Club. I was busy the whole time. I was so tired that I didn't go to see the boss. Sorry, sorry...
Yu Cang frowned even tighter. He thought for a moment and opened another person's chat interface.
It was Jiang Ya, Gu Jieshuang’s roommate.
-
Are you there.
-
What's wrong?
Jiang Ya replied instantly.
-
Let me ask, did Jie Shuang encounter any problem yesterday?
-
You still have the nerve to ask!
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Jiang Ya sent a bunch of messages.
-
Shuangshuang had a high fever yesterday!
-
It's 39 degrees!
Shuangshuang was so sick that I didn't see you all day yesterday.
-
Scumbag!
-
...Forget it, I won't bother with you for now. Shuangshuang refuses to go to the hospital. If you have time, come and persuade her.
Yu Cang's breathing stopped.
Looking at these messages, he felt his heart tighten and he became nervous in an instant. At that moment, he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the chess piece and rushed out of the card-making room.
-
Where is Jie Shuang now?
-
Of course it's the dormitory, where else! -
I'll be there right away.
…
-
Jie Shuang, come out for a moment, I want to see you-
Ah... No, I have something else to do now...
-
I'm at the door of your dormitory.
-
Oh...wait for me a moment...
Gu Jieshuang seemed to realize something and made a little aggrieved expression.
Yu Cang waited quietly for a moment, and then he saw Gu Jieshuang walking out of the dormitory and jogging to him.
"Boss..." Gu Jieshuang felt a little guilty, "Why are you here..."
Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, whose face was flushed, and reached out his hand, placing the back of his hand on her forehead.
Gu Jieshuang wanted to dodge back, but Yu Cang's action could not be refused.
...hot.
"that……"
"Let's go to the hospital."
"No." Gu Jieshuang smiled awkwardly, "Boss, you know I'm mixed-blood. This little illness won't affect anything at all! I'll be fine after a good night's sleep..."
"Have you ever had a fever before?"
"without……"
"Then follow me."
Seeing that Gu Jieshuang was still somewhat resistant, Yu Cang sighed, took a step forward, and picked Gu Jieshuang up.
"Eh...eh?" Gu Jieshuang was completely stunned. "Wait, there's really no need...Boss, you must be very busy now..."
"You've had a fever for a whole day." Yu Cang said seriously, "You're a mixed-blood, but you still haven't recovered from the fever. Do you think this could be a common cold?"
"I...oh." Gu Jieshuang stopped resisting.
She put her head in Yu Cang's arms and twisted her two fingers.
Princess hug... It seems like this is the first time the boss hugged me like this.
For a moment, she felt her face getting hot, and she didn't know if it was because of a fever or something else.
…
Gudu Central Hospital
——Tick.
Gu Jieshuang was lying on the hospital bed with a bottle of medicine hanging on her neck.
"Look, boss, I just said it was a common fever!" Gu Jieshuang was visibly weak, but still smiled and said, "Look, the doctor said the same thing..."
Yu Cang was sitting on a chair beside the hospital bed. Beside him, Qi'er was lying on the edge of the bed, looking at Gu Jieshuang, her big eyes full of heartache.
Yu Cang frowned slightly.
Although the doctor had made a diagnosis, he still felt a little uneasy.
He also specifically asked the doctor about Gu's hypothermia. The doctor called his teacher to examine him carefully for a long time, and the conclusion was still that it was just an ordinary fever.
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
"...Okay, boss, don't worry about me." Gu Jieshuang held Yu Cang's hand, "You should trust the physical fitness of a mixed-blood! Apart from Gu's hypothermia, I haven't heard of any mixed-blood dying of illness..."
"What nonsense are you talking about." Yu Cang patted the back of Gu Jieshuang's hand, "Jieshuang, you should get some sleep first. I'll stay here with you for a while."
"Boss, you should go back first..."
"No, I can do my job here."
"Okay~" Gu Jieshuang nodded, and a smile appeared on her face.
Hehe, the boss cares about me...that's great.
Thinking of this, she tightened the quilt and gently closed her eyes.
Hmm...it really makes me feel at ease to have the boss around...
Unlike last night, I couldn't sleep well at all...
Looking at Gu Jieshuang's breathing gradually slowing down, Yu Cang's expression relaxed slightly.
He did not let go of the hand holding Gu Jieshuang, but slightly changed his posture, took out his personal terminal, and opened Gu Zhihan's chat interface.
-
Auntie, Jie Shuang is sick.
Yu Cang took a photo and sent it over, repeating the doctor's words verbatim.
-
...Auntie, do you think this symptom could be related to hypothermia?
After a while, Gu Zhihan sent a message:
Does the doctor know about Gu's hypothermia?
-
He called his teacher, who should know about it.
-
It should be fine. When hypothermia occurs, the body temperature will drop sharply instead of rising. This should be just a simple fever... However, with Jie Shuang's physique, he should not have a fever.
-
So what to do? -
...Take good care of Jie Shuang first, I'll come over.
-
OK
Yu Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Zhihan say she was coming over.
That way, there should be no problem.
Yu Cang put away the terminal and his eyes fell on Gu Jieshuang's face.
Hmm... I haven't really watched it before.
Jie Shuang seems even more beautiful than I imagined.
For a moment, Yu Cang's eyes softened.
Whenever he thought that the girl in front of him had already firmly chosen him in her heart, Yu Cang felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Time passed slowly. It was unknown how long it had been. Yu Cang just held Gu Jieshuang's hand and looked at her peaceful face as she fell asleep.
suddenly.
Yu Cang seemed to feel that the temperature of Gu Jieshuang's hand had dropped a little.
Is the fever gone?
Yu Cang's face lit up with joy.
However--
Click!
A flower of ice suddenly formed in the tube of the IV drip that was giving Gu Jieshuang her IV.
Yu Cang's expression changed.
The next second, he felt that Gu Jieshuang's body temperature dropped sharply, and the heat in her body was dissipating at a rapid rate!
not good!
Yu Cang quickly rang the bedside bell.
At this moment, a doll jumped onto the table next to Yu Cang, and the weeping girl suddenly spoke:
"Master, something's wrong... I seem to feel that the mistress's consciousness has disappeared..."
Yu Cang turned his head suddenly: "What do you mean?"
"No... He didn't disappear. He was summoned away by some entity!"
Thanks to Suixing Chengfeng for the reward!
