Chapter 12 Aunt Pei's House



Because of the mission, Lian Han spent the next few days in a particularly fulfilling way. Every day, with 003 reminding him, he would go to the restaurant to eat on time and then go back to his room to practice making cards.

After Old Man Xing thoroughly criticized her card-making skills, from her pen grip to her arm strength and height, she finally produced her first Spirit-Gathering Card.

Card Evaluation: Basic Divine Gathering Card

Attributes: None

Effect: Conceals all physical items specified by the cardholder.

Energy state: Semi-stable

Durability: 5]

[Hidden from everything?] Although he had expected this card to be extraordinary, the system's assessment results still left Han speechless.

[This refers to all physical objects, excluding those on Skynet.]

[What if I create a God-Gathering Card on the Skynet?]

"A sharp-witted girl." Old Man Xing replied, "[That's fine then.]"

[Girl, this is just the beginner level! Once you have a deeper understanding of card patterns and use intermediate-level original cards, that will be intermediate-level cards.] Old Man Xing boasted, [I'm just letting you make a hundred cards later, that's a bargain for you.]

So this Divine Convergence Card has an intermediate version? Lian Han sensed the card pattern left by the old man in his spiritual sea again and found that there were some blurry lines around the bright lines, which seemed mysterious. However, Lian Han could "see" a little bit of them clearly.

Because his mental strength is still unstable, otherwise he would be able to "see" it completely. This should be an intermediate-level card model.

Thinking this, Lian Han put the Soul-Gathering Card into the card box and put it away.

She usually puts out Kalais in stable energy states casually, but she wouldn't dare do that with semi-stable ones. What if an explosion occurred and damaged her spatial bracelet? So, multiple layers of card cases are safer.

Watching Lian Han's actions, Old Man Xing still didn't tell her that even if a card with no attribute is unstable, it won't explode—which finally put the card box she bought earlier to good use.

The doorbell rang at just the right moment. Lian Han quickly gathered up the scattered original cards and magic pen, and opened the door.

It's Jiang Chenxi.

"Is something the matter?" She's been eating on time lately. Why would I come looking for her again?

Feeling inexplicably rejected, Jiang Chenxi explained, "We've arrived at our stop. I'll come and tell you to get off."

Wow, the warships are so fast! They arrived in just five or six days, whereas the civilian starships used to take a month.

"Uh, okay." Lian Han turned her head and scanned the room. When she found that she hadn't left any of her belongings behind, she left with Jiang Chenxi.

Stepping off the warship, Lian Han compared the starport of the Imperial Capital Star with that of the Muluo Star, and concluded that the gap between the two was at least a hundred years.

Seeing Lian Han hailing a taxi to leave, Jiang Chenxi suddenly said, "If Miss Lian has any unspeakable difficulties, the Dilu Academy will turn a blind eye to the bionic mask."

Lian Han was surprised and turned to look at Jiang Chenxi. The man was still gentle and refined, like a jade gentleman.

"I understand. Goodbye, Captain Jiang," Lian Han said. She had no intention of following the military path, so it was best if they never saw each other again. After all, he had bombed a starship and dragged along someone she admired; even if his voice was pleasant, her feelings for him were negative, even though she still owed Jiang Chenxi a favor.

Hearing the girl's slightly cheerful tone, Jiang Chenxi smiled and said, "Goodbye."

He was almost certain they would meet again, and soon enough. He hoped Miss Lian wouldn't be too surprised then…

The taxi that Lian Han took was a typical driverless hovercar. It was activated by an AI connected to the car's program after the passenger got in, and the fare was based on the distance traveled when the passenger got out.

Sitting on the ground, watching the sky come and go, and the towering buildings that reach straight into the sky, Lian Han sighed.

"The capital city looks very prosperous, doesn't it?" But as soon as she said this, Lian Han froze, then her lips curled up and she looked listless.

Xiao Ye is still recovering.

003, who has already taken control of the taxis, said: "The population of Imperial Capital Star is 7 billion, and the living standards of its residents generally exceed the average level of the Federation. With several major families and card-making guilds in charge, it is worthy of being one of the most prosperous planets in the Federation."

"Oh, I see," Lian Han replied lazily.

"Is Master in a bad mood?"

"Hmm." Lian Han nodded. However, he was somewhat surprised. When had 003 ever asked such a question, aside from meticulously completing missions?

003 paused for a moment, then said, "Once you find a place to stay, please log in to Skynet as soon as possible. 003 has a gift for you."

A gift from the AI? Because she was feeling down? Lian Han blinked, once again feeling that her AI was incredibly thoughtful.

Lian Han smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

Before seeing the house under Pei Yuan's name, Lian Han genuinely thought it was just a house. But when the hovering taxi drove from the bustling street into the quiet villa area, she finally realized that she might have misunderstood.

Especially when they finally saw their destination, Lian Han exclaimed, "Aunt Pei is quite the hidden talent after all!" Holding a villa in the capital city, she went to live on the remote and underdeveloped Muluo Star. What was she thinking?

Thinking this, Lian Han paid the fare at 003, jumped out of the taxi, and then scanned the smart device at the access control, opening the door. Because the smart device couldn't be removed, as long as Lian Han still had the right to use the villa, he didn't have to worry about being locked out.

The villa was simply furnished, without any luxurious decorations, but it was fairly standard. And because a cleaning robot cleaned the villa regularly every day, it wasn't dirty at all, and you could move in without any problems.

"San'er, which room should I stay in?" Lian Han asked.

Aunt Pei handed over the right to use the villa to her, or more accurately, to 003, and she would take care of everything for her.

"The three guest rooms on the second floor are open to the owner, and the owner can also use the basic training facilities, but there is no permission to go up to the third floor."

Lian Han nodded, "Understood. Let's go check out the guest rooms first."

A single bed, a table, a SkyNet connection pod, a wardrobe, and a private bathroom. Since the layout and facilities of the three guest rooms were the same, Lian Han chose the one closest to the stairs and then turned on the cleaning robot in the room to clean it.

[Not bad. You didn't lose out by leaving those twenty-odd cards to them.] Old Man Xing commented.

[It's only right to reciprocate. Aunt Pei and the others have taken such good care of me; even if it were just an ordinary house, or even if there wasn't one at all, I would definitely give them the gift card.]

You're right.

[Why do you think Aunt Pei left this place and went to Muluo Star instead?] Lian Han changed the subject.

[Didn't you also discover that your Aunt Pei isn't an ordinary person? There are only a few possibilities for why she doesn't live in the capital: she's hiding from enemies, getting rid of trouble, or she really wants to live in seclusion.]

Avoiding enemies and getting rid of trouble are clearly the same thing, aren't they? Even though Lian Han grumbled inwardly, he didn't take the matter to heart. Aunt Pei must have her own reasons.

"Master, log in to Skynet," 003 reminded.

"Okay, I understand." 003's gift, I don't know what it is.

The old man, who knew about 003's behavior, thought with a hint of schadenfreude, "I'm afraid the surprise will turn into a shock."
