Chapter 93 Card Drawing
Although Toru Amuro wanted to persuade Hatori Yuiichi to rebel, it was not so easy. At least he must not reveal his identity until he was sure.
It would be best to let someone else approach Hatori Yuiichi.
Toru Amuro was thinking about the plan as he walked.
Hearing the footsteps gradually moving away, Vermouth opened her eyes slightly.
She wasn't drunk, just tipsy. She hadn't said anything to Bourbon, but simply because she wasn't feeling well today.
She does this every once in a while, commonly known as tanking. Perhaps it's even worse than tanking, reaching the point of world-weariness.
Every time this happened, she would think to herself: When will my "silver bullet" be able to kill this old crow?
Of course, it was impossible for her to rise up and seek death on her own. She would not betray the organization and would accompany it to the end.
However, it is also possible that she was "consumed" before that.
So, my little detective, you have to speed up.
\\
Two incidents happened in a row in one day, and Higashino Xi felt exhausted. His only consolation was that the system credited him with saving Hatori Shizueji, so he got two lottery tickets today, finally completing his twenty-draw streak.
He suppressed his desire to draw the lottery. After returning home, he took a bath, lit a stick of sandalwood, and rubbed his hands with the blessing of peace that his elder brother had prayed for him. Only after doing all this did he click on the lottery draw.
Dong Yexi closed his eyes and prayed: "Please, please, please give me a useful card!"
He opened his eyes only after he felt the light effect in front of him stop.
The first thing that caught my eye was a glittering golden label, unlike any other. It read [Targeted Upgrade Card], along with a line of explanation: "Skill Targeted Upgrade Card. Use this card to upgrade [Surgeon Master] to [Living Hua Tuo], extending the skill's duration to 12 hours, with a 48-hour cooldown."
Dong Yexi's eyes widened instantly.
His nurse skill has been upgraded! Originally [Surgeon] was a Special Card (SSR), but now it has become a Rare Card (UR)!
Wait a minute, before, "Surgeon's Master" was a tribute to Hua Tuo's superb surgical skills. Now he's simply called "Hua Tuo." Does that mean this skill makes him a general practitioner? Wouldn't that make him a miracle doctor all of a sudden?
Sure, sure. Even if he only got this one useful skill today, he would be satisfied.
Dong Yexi thought happily, but his happiness disappeared the next second because he saw the skill card: [Body Outline Master].
Uh...could this skill be the one he knows?
In a world like Detective Conan where sharpshooters gather, he would be laughed at if he couldn't hit anyone, right?
Dong Yexi sniffed and secretly decided that he would never use this skill again.
In addition to these two skill cards, there is another one called [Brushstrokes], which should be related to painting.
Higashino Hiroshi also learned to paint as a child, but after a few lessons, his teacher advised him to find a new teacher, saying he couldn't teach abstract art. Unfortunately, there were no teachers in his hometown who specialized in this style, so he tearfully gave up his dream of painting, and the art world lost a Picasso.
Thinking of his childhood dream, he suddenly became interested and couldn't wait to use this skill. He took out paper and pen and started drawing.
After a while, he picked up his masterpiece, puzzled. Why is it still abstract? Isn't this word used to describe someone's beautiful painting?
He didn't believe it, so he tried again and drew a lot of strange things.
Finally, I drew a flower for him.
Well, that's exactly what it means. You can only draw flowers!
Looking at the roses on the paper that looked like real flowers, Dong Yexi silently put down his pen.
It can't be said that it's useless, he can draw the background for Adachi Shizuku if he needs it.
The next label card left him speechless. The two words "non-African" successfully made his face fall.
What's up? You think he's unlucky enough? You want to add some more debuffs to him?
This card, like the [Human Body Outline Master], has been put into cold storage and will never be used again.
In addition, the label cards include [Atmosphere Terminator], [Crow Mouth] and [Speculator].
Of the three, [Atmosphere Terminator] clearly couldn't speak, and [Speculator] reminded him of the old-fashioned crime of speculation, which looked like it might lead to imprisonment. The only useful one, perhaps, was [Crow's Mouth]; if it was truly that effective, it could be used as a reverse prediction.
After he put it on, he tried to say, "It's raining outside."
After a long while, the sea remained calm.
He frowned and added, "My cup is overturned."
The water cup didn't move at all.
"Hmm?" Dong Yexi was puzzled. This [Crow Mouth] didn't work, and it was a high-level card? So how should I use it?
He thought about it and tried again: "In a minute, it will rain outside."
Five minutes passed with no sign of rain.
"This won't work, and that won't work. Do I have to curse people?" Dong Yexi touched his chin and said, "I fell down."
In fact, he was sitting firmly on the sofa, how could he fall down? He was just talking nonsense.
Dong Yexi scoffed. At this moment, there was a knock on the door and Fujitsuka Tian came in with a dining cart. He placed tea and snacks on the coffee table and said, "Second Master, the eldest master saw that you were not asleep, so he asked me to prepare some midnight snacks for you."
"Thank you!" Dong Yexi reached for the osmanthus cake, but his elbow accidentally knocked over the water cup on the coffee table. The water inside flowed down the edge of the coffee table, soaking his pants. He stood up immediately, and then the coffee table hit his calf, making him grimace in pain. He held the food cart with one hand and bent down to touch it with the other.
But when Fujizuka Tian saw that he was injured, he wanted to check on his injuries and pushed the food cart out. Dong Yexi didn't hold on tightly and fell forward due to the force.
"Second Young Master! Are you okay?" Fujitsuka Tian immediately helped the man up.
Dong Yexi smiled awkwardly: "It's okay." He touched his leg inconspicuously. Why did he want to use himself as an experiment?!
After persuading Fujitsuka Tian to leave, Higashino immediately replaced [Crow Mouth]. He'd better use someone else for his experiments from now on.
There are three appearance cards left, namely [Beauty that shames the moon and flowers], [Skin of Ice and Bones of Jade], and [Green Youth].
Higashino: ??? Let’s not talk about the first two, what does the last one mean?
He took out his cell phone and looked up the meaning of the word on the Internet.
【残绿少年】: Originally refers to a young man wearing dark green clothes, and later refers to a young man who pays attention to decoration. It is extended to mean a young man with elegant demeanor. ①
Why not just call him "graceful and elegant"? Why use a word that only cultured people know? It makes him look like he is not well-educated.
I didn't expect that I would be hit by the system when drawing a card.
Dong Yexi mumbled and tried all three words.
"The moon and flowers dare not compare with you in beauty"; "Skin of ice and bones of jade"; "The young man is not miserable, but green";
Dong Yexi was speechless after trying it.
Put on [Beauty of the Moon], and the flowers in the potted plants in the room immediately closed, and the moon outside was immediately covered by dark clouds; put on [Ice Skin and Jade Bones], and my skin became even whiter, and I couldn't feel the heat at all; put on [Pale Green Boy]...
Guess what?
His white shirt turned directly into dark green!
You wouldn't have thought that even though he's not a magical girl, he can change his clothes with just one click.
What I didn’t expect was that these three words really meant what they said.
It didn't take him long, but he felt tired. Mentally exhausted.
But there are still ten draws left!
Dong Yexi has lost hope. Even his elder brother's amulet is ineffective. What else can he ask for? Whatever.
As the old saying goes, if you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed, but you will be surprised.
It seemed like the system was playing a trick on him and gave him a surprise.
First is the identity card that has not been seen for a long time, [Heir] (must be worn).
Dong Yexi was puzzled. What did this mean? Was Big Brother going to give the group to him? Impossible! He couldn't do it!
When his eldest brother was injured, he took over for a while. Facts have proven that not everyone can be a domineering CEO. Anyway, he doesn't have the ability.
Dong Yexi decided that if his eldest brother designated him as the heir, he would move back to the apartment!
You can choose between a younger brother or an heir.
Then there is another [Directed Upgrade Card]: a skill-directed upgrade card. Using this card, you can upgrade [100% Bare-Handed Catch] to [100% Weapon Seizure].
Dong Yexi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This upgrade had directly transformed him from a Normal Card (NR) to a Special Card (SSR). Weapons encompassed a vast range of military applications. Anything with lethal or destructive power could be considered a weapon. The National Defense University now even had a weapons major, specializing in various cutting-edge thermal weapons.
If missiles and other things are taken into account, will he be able to walk around the military base as he pleases in the future?
However, he wouldn't go to those places if he had nothing to do. All I can say is that if he encounters a gangster with a gun in the future, he won't be afraid anymore. He can just take his gun away and become the host.
There are also three skill cards: [Absolute Pitch], [Eye of Appraisal], and [Wing Chun].
Dong Yexi jumped up excitedly when he saw Wing Chun. Even taking away the weapons couldn't make him so happy.
What's the big deal about being able to steal the gun? Even without any skills, he's probably a master of outlining.
Wing Chun is a martial art! It's the quintessence of Chinese culture! He finally has some fighting power! From now on, when he encounters a gangster, he can just charge right in! He's going to become the Ip Man of the Conan world!
He excitedly changed his skills, threw a set of punches, and suddenly felt that he was invincible.
He thought arrogantly: I'll go spar with my cousin someday. If I can withstand Xiaolan's attacks, then most of the people he meets won't pose a threat to him.
He completely ignored the following label cards, such as "Prince of Piano", "National Go Player", and "Master of Calligraphy", until he saw "Emperor of Europe".
Higashino: What the heck is this?! He's finally going to leave Africa and join the EU!
He put it on immediately. He hadn't expected the system to be so powerful. He'd just drawn a "non-African" and it gifted him a "European Emperor." This system was awesome!
The last appearance card is [Uprightness].
Dong Ye Xi's body trembled. He couldn't help but wonder what effect this word, which was completely different in style from the previous one, would have.
After putting it on: "Haoran Zhengqi (dispel the haze, you won't be afraid of the cold even if you go to the south)".
Higashino Hi: ???
What the hell?! Is this the "Southern winter, no heating, only righteousness can get through" meme? Adding [Frosty] and [Icy Skin and Jade Bones], he now has three cold-resistance skills. Is the system really that afraid of him getting cold?
He thought this word was so noble! It really lowered the quality of the idiom!
That's all I got from twenty consecutive draws. Among them, [Reborn Hua Tuo] became the only rare card. Special cards (SSR) included [100% Weapon Seizure], [Unlucky Person], and [European Emperor]. Premium cards (SR) included [Eye of Appraisal], [Wing Chun], [Crow's Mouth], and [Righteousness]. The remaining twelve were all common and average.
From this we can see that his luck is as bad as ever.
But he was already quite satisfied. At least the European Emperor and Wing Chun could make him laugh in the middle of the night. And he had unlocked a slot for skills and tags. He picked and chose, replacing the ones that were useful.
The tags and skills he wears daily now are:
【Tags】：Social expert, academic master, fitness expert, European emperor
Skills: Basic First Aid Knowledge, Photographic Memory, 100% Weapon Seizure, Wing Chun
Dong Yexi lay down contentedly, hoping that the system would continue to work well, and then fell into a deep sleep.
