Is there anything more depressing than having all the remaining stones drawn out and not having any shipped?
That is the only card shipped, a card that can only be triggered when it touches the main body, but Li Yuebai does not know the name of the card, and at the same time, he does not know what a puppeteer is.
"We'll be heading to the new venue tomorrow, and the rules will be announced then. I'm really looking forward to it—"
"Why are you so unhappy? Are you worried about the next round?"
"...Yeah." Li Yuebai glanced at him, then turned around and whispered with Cedric.
“Tsk.”
Is it because he is the captain of another team and he doesn't have his trust, so you hide it from him?
He automatically stepped back a few steps to let them talk in private.
He looked at the gray sky.
"I'm sorry, Yuebai, I have heard about some things in the North, but I haven't heard of any puppeteer family... Um... maybe you are in a hurry, maybe I need to go back to the family to check the literature."
"We have a competition tomorrow, what literature are you looking up?"
"Perhaps you can ask your brother? From what I know, the Li family seems to have a closer relationship with the North."
"He..." Li Yuebai hesitated to speak.
Although his brother is very handsome, treats him very well and dotes on him, his brother NPC is neither a card nor a friend like Cedric who he made through his own abilities.
No matter what, manipulating game cards was a matter of course for him, but he had to carefully consider the NPC's overtures. It also sounded strange to ask about a northern puppeteer for no reason.
There are also many settings where NPCs backstab players, especially with this kind of brotherly relationship, maybe even more outrageous things will happen...
For example, random... cough.
But in his mind, Cedric in front of him was not completely a plot NPC.
"I don't want to ask him about it."
"Why?"
He leaned in closer, his lips almost touching his ear. "So far, that's all I've asked you."
"Because I trust you more."
“…”
The blue-haired young man was about to avoid her with great distance, but when he heard these words, he was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he rubbed his ears helplessly and said, "You really know how to say nice things."
"But this is fine." He smiled softly: "Trust your intuition."
"By the way, do you need me to ask someone in the North for you?"
"Hmm? People from the North." Li Yuebai seemed to have thought of something.
"It won't be exposed because you asked."
"It's okay." Li Yuebai said with a flash of inspiration: "I'll go back to the dormitory first."
"I don't need your protection. I'm going back to the dormitory. Don't follow me today." The captain of the first team of Huanseliayang College passed by and refused to follow him.
What a heartless boss.
Rost shrugged indifferently: "Okay."
"See you tomorrow." Li Yuebai remembered and turned around to greet him.
"...See you tomorrow." He watched him leave.
The generous, cute and ruthless boss is gone, and I have to go back to face the annoying teammates.
With Cedric's [hint], Li Yuebai, with his seven-second memory, finally remembered that there was someone around him, who often traveled back and forth between the North and the Imperial City, and was highly trusted by him.
"Angel," he called out his presence.
This is all thanks to Cedric's reminder.
In his mind, Cedric is just such a task-guiding NPC, like the one who gives you task information when you enter the game.
Well, Kitsunesuke, Professor Oak, the Guidance Elves... they are very useful and give players an alternative sense of security.
Every time the angel stayed in his dormitory, it seemed a little cramped.
He folded his wings, and the silent moonlight left a gentle veil on his face.
"Puppeteer?"
There was no sign of any thought in the angel's white pupils.
In fact, I didn't have much hope for this big guy, who only had killing, collecting mission money, and his master in his mind.
But the angel quickly gave an answer: "They have all been killed."
In the rage, they were slaughtered.
"That family... is called the Doll Masters. This is also their surname that has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Using your occupation as your surname? That's a bit too casual."
This is a card drawn from a limited card pool. Logically speaking, it is likely a card of a member of the league.
Li Yuebai looked through the list of contestants that he had asked the teacher for, "It seems that there is no such thing as this."
The angel shook his head: "They have been issued a permanent hunting order and cannot be seen in public again."
"A permanent hunting order sounds like a big deal. How come Cedric hasn't heard of it?"
"This happened 40 years ago, and the people involved are basically dead."
He knew about this only because he accidentally got a bloodstained scroll during a certain event.
"You have a good memory, Kuris." Li Yuebai touched his head.
Experience points successfully credited.
"Then I'll try my luck."
There is a certain connection between the card and the main body, and you might come across it unexpectedly.

The next day was the team competition. Most teams were still training and discussing tactics, but they were surprisingly friendly when Li Yuebai visited them.
...It seems that he has become completely famous because of that princess hug.
"Are you lost? Your school's team is not here."
"…Are you going to sponsor us? I can tell you all our tactics. But I can't guarantee their authenticity."
"Your wings are beautiful, can you let me touch them?"
"Would you like me to hold you for a while? I'm working on my arm strength now."
Hey, although he did want to see if anyone could activate this new card through physical contact, forget it.
He wasn't one to risk being made into a weird gif again just to try and activate a card.
The team that Li Jianxue belongs to is undoubtedly the team ranked first in comprehensive strength in St. Priss College, and is also the most popular team to win the championship.
Li Yuebai looked around and saw many suspicious people, but he didn't see anyone who had similar patterns, temperament, height and weight to the new card.
He finally returned to the training camp of his own academy.
"I'm here to find my brother."
"Brother? Little brother, how can your brother be here?" The man lowered his head with a smile.
"Could it be my beloved brother?" The older sister next to her laughed with her hands covering her mouth.
Please stop making these unfunny old jokes.
Is this my brother's second teammate? It doesn't look like he matches my brother's NPC character.
Li Yuebai looked at them and asked, "Are you members of Team 4? Are there any other people here?"
It doesn’t look like the weird and eerie appearance of the card, not to mention that the card weighs 100kg.
Team 4 is the team that Li Jianxue is in.
"Come to think of it, you look familiar..." The elder sister had no intention of answering his question, but fell into deep thought.
"Hey, isn't this the little cutie being held? He looks so serious when talking. I just want my sister to pinch him." She realized.
“Being held…?”
"I have nothing in common with a man like you who doesn't surf the Internet."
"No matter who you are, there is no brother of yours here."
"Everyone in our team is an only child... uh..."
The smiling man suddenly made an unbelievable sound like a duck with its neck stuck: "Could it be that you, you are..."
[White King] showed unparalleled talent since birth.
At the same age, there is no other genius like him - he has outstanding qualifications, a distinguished family background, and an indomitable will.
Not only that, he also has a very winter-like leadership temperament, and among his peers, he has a reputation that others cannot achieve.
Anyone who knows the White King knows that he is the only heir of his generation.
However, recently, they heard that...
"team leader."
When Li Yuebai saw the strange older brothers and sisters, he took a few steps back, a look of fear and trepidation appeared on his face, and then he lowered his head.
"Yuebai?" A hesitant voice came from behind him.
"...I see. Are you coming to see brother before the game?"
His brother invited him to sit down in the seminar room, poured him hot water, prepared snacks, and even a small blanket.
The unruly older brothers and sisters have been kicked out of their team's training ground and have no choice but to wander outside in frustration.
There was no one else in the training ground. Li Yuebai found an excuse to fool his brother and planned to leave soon.
"Sorry...I should have been the one to go see you."
But the brother NPC apologized for some reason.
"Do you want my encouragement and comfort?" Li Jianxue asked hesitantly when she saw that he was absent-minded.
He shook his hand awkwardly: "Don't worry, after tomorrow there will be a team competition, which will last for more than half a month... Cooperation between different teams is allowed."
"Huh?... Your hands are cold." He held his hands, even covering the fingertips.
"Brother, your hands are too hot." Li Yuebai pulled them out: "Especially the palms, they are a bit too hot, which is totally different from your cool appearance."
Li Jianxue: “…Yeah.”
He seems a little lost?
"Anyway, if you have any problems with the team competition, I can help you. Don't worry."
Li Jianxue seemed to want to touch his head. He raised his hand, then put it down with restraint, and finally patted his shoulder.
He received a clear warning from his brother NPC that he "would let the game go like crazy", so he quickly said goodbye and went back.
Today is also a day of getting nothing.
Huh? Wait…
He saw a man in strange clothes, who caught his attention as soon as he appeared.
He must be a fashionable guy, dressed fashionably in ripped jeans and a short sweater, wearing pink heart-shaped headphones, and walking slowly on the road.
Just looking at it will give people rheumatism.
...Although it is indeed very eye-catching, it does not seem to match the new card at all, so Li Yuebai did not go to make trouble.
The moment they passed each other, Li Yuebai smelled a faint scent on him.
The indescribable smell reminds people of insects in amber, lifeless ancient trees, and pale and cold lakes.
"It smells like a dead body."
The aura of the red-haired knight appeared before him: "A familiar... disgusting, rotten smell."
