Chapter 13 Chapter 13 I'm So Worried About You
Su Yuan was a little confused. He didn't have the ability to communicate with Li Zhou alone. He could neither speak nor write to communicate. Even when he was worried that Li Zhou would get angry and embarrassed, he still needed to use the slogans on the wall that might not be of any use.
After suddenly hearing Li Zhou's somewhat inexplicable words, Su Yuan really could not do anything.
Su Yuan's dazed look at Li Zhou was taken by Li Zhou as silent and persistent disapproval.
Li Zhou looked at Su Yuan deeply, and his lowered palms clenched tighter and tighter.
Although he looked disdainful on the surface, Li Zhou knew in his heart how bad his reputation was. The more people around him flattered him and the more cautious they were towards him, the more it showed that in their eyes, he was a playboy who would go crazy if he wasn't careful. Even his parents thought that he was used to doing bad things and it was impossible for him to do anything good.
Li Zhou didn't know why Su Yuan chose to ask him for help, and why she believed that he would be willing to save her.
He also didn't know why, in this situation where he had already lost, Su Yuan still expressed his disapproval of his words "not worth it", and insisted on telling him that he was worth it.
But when all kinds of complex and sour emotions surged up, Li Zhou could clearly sense the joy and excitement within.
After Li Zhou's eyes changed variously, he finally looked at Yan Zhou.
"This matter is not over yet."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the stage in a daze. His back was swaying slightly but paradoxically he did not look too dejected.
Li Zhou's exit seemed to send a signal of a fact that had to be accepted. The venue, which was wrapped in silence and astonishment, burst into thunderous cheers and applause a few beats late.
The card master family controls most of the knowledge and information about cards. While ordinary card masters firmly grasp every card they have obtained with great difficulty, the children of the aristocratic family with strong support pay more attention to the coordination between their own cards. The children of the aristocratic family who know how to make the cards play the effect of "1+1 is greater than 2" can always crush ordinary card masters with ease.
As both players were of similar age, the victory of the unknown Yan Zhou came as a surprise to everyone.
When Su Yuan walked to Yan Zhou and supported the weak Yan Zhou, he knew that the enthusiastic cheers from the crowd at this moment would be a signal of the protagonist's rising fame.
Su Yuan took Yan Zhou back to the lounge where they had first stayed.
The people at the venue acquiesced to Su Yuan's behavior and controlled the crowd from approaching Yan Zhou. In this situation where everyone below was extremely excited, leaving at this moment would only cause chaos. Returning to the lounge and waiting for the crowd to calm down and leave one after another would also make the venue more relaxed.
The protagonist, whose mental strength was completely drained, had just stepped into the lounge with great difficulty when he fell on the sofa, sweating all over, and fell into a coma.
Su Yuan paused for a moment on the key that was glowing blue on Yan Zhou's chest.
After this battle, the protagonist not only solved the card seal dilemma and had the capital to successfully enter the academy, but also was able to initially use the special abilities of the key.
The number of cards a card master can contract is directly linked to his or her mental strength threshold.
When the number of cards in the contract reaches the limit, the way for the card master to further improve his strength is to replace the cards, replacing the cards in the original contract with new cards that are stronger, higher quality, and more in line with the tone of the deck.
However, each high-quality new card available for contract is priced sky-high in the market, and there are many risks in changing cards. Not only does one have to bear the card backlash, but there is also a very high failure rate. Once the card change fails, both the replaced card and the desired new card will be destroyed.
If you want to increase your strength, you must keep changing cards, but changing cards is an extremely luxurious and risky behavior. Most card masters have to stop because they cannot afford it.
The key that Yan Zhou obtained can directly break the barrier that deeply trapped civilian card masters.
Su Yuan recalled the plot.
When Yan Zhou wakes up, he will find that this magical key can become a bridge to convert the energy of the copy. Any item produced from the copy can be converted into a special energy by the key, and this special energy can directly act on the card - upgrading and strengthening the quality of the card.
In other words, Yan Zhou doesn't need to change cards at all. With this key, he only needs to collect easier-to-obtain copy items to continuously upgrade his own cards.
Su Yuan looked at the key, and as he looked at it, he thought of the chain on the sculpture's ankle.
Maybe it was because of the moment when he accidentally touched the sculpture that Su Yuan was really scared. Although Su Yuan did not deliberately look at the leg chain, when he thought about it now, he really remembered the appearance of the chain he saw at that glance, with his heart subconsciously worried.
Su Yuan walked over and pulled Yan Zhou's clothes, revealing the key completely.
Staring at the jagged lines, Su Yuan's breathing became disordered.
It seems to be somewhat consistent.
If I see the sculpture again next time, I can take a closer look at what the lock core looks like.
Su Yuan's mind quickly closed.
No, forget it.
The strange scene in the church just now appeared in Su Yuan's mind. Sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale and pink.
The atmosphere of the church really made him uncomfortable.
I feel unwell both physically and mentally.
While waiting for the protagonist to wake up, Su Yuan couldn't help but think of the weird and creepy scene in the church. He was panicked, and when he saw Yan Zhou's dark eyelashes trembling and a look like he was about to wake up, he instinctively wanted to tell the protagonist about it quickly.
The fact that he encountered these things was closely related to Yan Zhou's act of wiping his tears.
In addition, since he is now Yan Zhou's card, Su Yuan feels that it is completely reasonable to ask the protagonist to help find a solution.
But just when Su Yuan wanted to talk to Yan Zhou, he was horrified to find that he couldn't even speak to Yan Zhou. It was as if an invisible force prevented Su Yuan from trying to speak. No matter how Su Yuan tried to explain tactfully, he would suddenly lose control of his body when he got to the point.
The feeling of not being able to control his own body made Su Yuan even more frightened when he realized once again that the organization was very strange.
If those weird followers found out that he had deceived them, he would end up in a terrible situation.
Su Yuan couldn't help but shiver slightly, sweating all over his body.
He didn't even dare to imagine what strange and terrible punishment they would use against him when the truth was revealed.

Taking advantage of Li Zhou's fame, the story of Yan Zhou defeating Li Zhou quickly spread on Starnet.
This was the first time that Yan Zhou gained fame on StarNet and received a lot of praise and flattery. However, the protagonist is the protagonist after all, so Yan Zhou was quite calm about it.
Su Yuan and Yan Zhou left the card master's venue and boarded the spaceship bound for the central star where the academy was located. Yan Zhou's light brain never stopped.
Many aristocratic families extended olive branches to Yan Zhou.
Even though Li Zhou is not considered a genius in the aristocratic family, the fact that Yan Zhou, an ordinary card master who has not received any systematic knowledge, can defeat Li Zhou is enough to illustrate Yan Zhou's potential.
However, those who tried to win over Yan Zhou were all small families, and most families were still taking a wait-and-see attitude, or perhaps it could be said that they still didn't care.
Yan Zhou ignored these invitations and simply booked a hotel near the college in advance so that he and Su Yuan would have a place to stay during the entrance examination.
Su Yuan was a little surprised when he walked into the spaceship. He originally thought that according to the protagonist's current financial resources, they would sit in ordinary seats, but he did not expect that he and Yan Zhou would actually walk into a very private private room.
In the plot, the protagonist was sitting in an ordinary seat where a lot of people were sitting side by side and it was quite crowded.
Although he didn't know how this small deviation was caused, Su Yuan, who had already sat down, was looking forward to the academy they were about to arrive at.
Su Yuan has a lot of questions now, and the college is likely to help him answer them.
In the library of the academy, there is a very special replica item called the [Mirror of Omniscience].
As the name suggests, this mirror can answer people's questions with its magical power. However, this mirror can only answer questions that are closely related to the person asking the question, and each answer requires a lot of rare materials.
People in the academy cannot use this copy item casually.
But in the plot, the reward given by the academy to the freshman who gets the first place in the assessment includes the right to use the mirror once.
Su Yuan felt this was an opportunity.
Even if he still couldn't ask about the mysterious organization, at least he could figure out what was going on with him and how he could return to his original vegetative body.
While Su Yuan was thinking about this, he heard a voice around him that did not belong to Yan Zhou.
Yan Zhou was testing the new abilities of his cards after they were upgraded.
Yan Zhou originally wanted to use all the copy items on him to upgrade Su Yuan, but the mysterious energy born from the key could not be transmitted to Su Yuan, so Yan Zhou could only transfer the first card to him, which also gave birth to the new ability of eavesdropping.
The eavesdropped voice sounded familiar.
"How's the preparation going? The higher-ups are taking this operation very seriously." From the two cloaked men at the beginning.
"We're already working hard on it." Another person was quite distressed, "But why did the plan suddenly decide to move it forward so much?"
Just when Su Yuan was amazed at the powerful aura of the protagonist, he was breathless because of the next sentence with a strange accent.
"It is said that those gentlemen can't wait to..." The person who spoke paused, "to ask for further rewards. Only after the work is done, there will be a reason for them to bestow further rewards."
The familiar words brought Su Yuan back to the church.
Thinking about the time when the leading man asked for a reward, he was originally just going to touch his head to fool around, but it strangely turned out to be a scene where several people of high status came over to greedily smell him. Su Yuan's heart was beating wildly.
I don't think I'm really going to ask him for it.
What is further reward and how to make further progress?
Su Yuan felt ashamed and at a loss. There was nothing on him that was worthy of a reward.
No, there was no way this plan could succeed. He didn't want to go to that weird church again so soon.
When Su Yuan thought about this, he hurriedly reached out to pull Yan Zhou's hand.
The inexplicable fear made Su Yuan quickly find a new way when he couldn't express it directly.
When Yan Zhou turned around, he saw his beautiful card looking at him in panic.
——Will their plans hurt you?
The exceptionally handsome boy, with eyes wet as if he were about to cry, spoke caring words that made one's heart palpitate, as if one could not live without him at all.
——I’m so worried about you.
Yan Zhou's throat rolled unconsciously a few times.
