Li Tianze was instantly enraged, "You bitch! You started it..."
"Warning: No verbal abuse allowed." The guard robot, which looked almost identical to a human but had a pair of green electronic eyes, spoke again.
"She started it..."
"Guard, he's just arguing. Look, he's holding a combat card; is he trying to resist arrest?"
Remembering only to explain, Li Tianze forgot to put the card down and quickly stuffed it into his pocket. "I didn't, don't listen to her nonsense!" Resisting arrest is no joke. If he were really arrested and detained, he would lose face big time.
“Guard, he disturbed my meal, damaged public property, insulted me, and just now he even tried to hurt me. You decide what to do.”
"It was clearly that bitch—she started it!"
"Look, he still wants to curse at me."
Lian Han is the type who responds better to gentleness than force; if the other party's tone is rude, then don't expect her to be polite.
Li Yixun and Ming Yu, who hadn't spoken yet, exchanged a glance, then took another step forward, activated the AI, and something flashed in front of the guard robot.
Then the robot turned to Lian Han and said, "Miss, the gentlemen have no ill intentions. Please cooperate with their investigation."
Lian Han: "What kind of investigation?"
"I don't know. But please cooperate, Miss."
Lian Han: ...
[Hahaha! Girl, you've finally met your match!] Old Xing gloated without any restraint.
The fact that the guard robot could get Lian Han to cooperate without asking a single question shows that the other party's identity is not simple.
"I reiterate, the use of cards is prohibited on the starship, and harming anyone is forbidden." With that, the robot left, and left...
Before Lian Han could ask a question, Ming Yu stepped forward and raised the partition again, blocking the curious gazes from the surroundings.
“Li Yixun, these are Ming Yu, Lin Shaohui, Shui Yixuan, and Li Tianze. We’re here to talk to you.”
"Not for the meat platter?"
Receiving a warning look from his elder brother, Li Tianze retorted indignantly, "No! Although you are indeed wasting resources." It was still his favorite roasted insect legs!
"Then get to the point." Lian Han continued feeding Xing Ye. This way of finding her is truly peculiar!
Mingyu asked, "I still don't know how to address you, Miss?"
"Lian Han".
"Please allow us to follow you for the next month, Miss Lian."
Lian Han was surprised, "Did I hear wrong, or did you say something wrong?"
"I know this request is abrupt, but how about we only follow you after you leave the room?"
"Not good. Give me a reason that can convince me."
“When we’re out in the world, all we ask for is to protect ourselves,” Ming Yu said.
"What does your self-preservation have to do with me?" Lian Han asked, puzzled.
"No comment," Li Tianze said curtly.
[Minor Cold.] Old Man Xing suddenly spoke up, [They're from the Imperial Capital Star. That kid surnamed Ming must be a member of a certain lineage; his cards have precognitive abilities.]
[So he knew he would be safe following me?]
[It could just be an excuse; they might have other motives. Who knows? None of these Ming fellows can be judged by common sense!] By the end, Old Man Xing was practically gritting his teeth.
[Looks like they ripped you off before.]
[No way!] Old Xing's voice immediately rose several times, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
[oh. ]
Old Man Xing: ...Oh what? This is obviously because you don't believe me?
Lian Han ignored him and looked at Li Tianze, "If you have nothing to say, then why should I let you come along?"
“Because there are two A’s here,” Li Tianze said smugly, his tone full of threat.
two?
Old Xing: [That guy surnamed Ming is quite good at hiding his true abilities; it's not surprising you misjudged him.]
Lian Han nodded to indicate that he understood. A white light flashed in his hand, and the next moment Li Tianze was imprisoned. "But unfortunately, you are not only not an A, but also the weakest in terms of strength."
Dare to threaten her? Ha!
"You—I order you to untie me right now!"
Lian Han rolled her eyes at him twice, "You can throw your tantrums at home, but do you think everyone will indulge you?"
"Let's talk this out. It'll be embarrassing if we attract the guards again," Lin Shaohui said helplessly.
"No, this card isn't even a basic one; it's not enough to trigger an alarm."
Ming Yu stopped Shui Yixuan, who was about to take action, and asked in a gentle voice, "What would it take for us to be allowed to stay with you these days?"
"Why do you have to follow me? Wouldn't it be better if we went our separate ways?" Lian Han looked at Ming Yu.
Perhaps because she had witnessed ugliness too early, she could discern a person's emotions simply by looking into their eyes. But this person's eyes were strange; they were the same black as hers, yet they seemed to contain everything, so deep and complex that even Han couldn't understand the emotions in them.
"If Miss allows us to follow, we will be richly rewarded." Li Yixun still avoided mentioning the reason.
Lian Han raised an eyebrow and finally said, "How about this, if this guy can break free from the card's restraints within half an hour, I'll agree. After all, it's just a damaged card, it shouldn't be too difficult to do, right?"
Li Yixun looked at Ming Yu, and seeing him nod, Li Yixun said, "Okay. Tianze, we're counting on you."
Li Tianze: ...I can't move at all. He's not even confident he can break free from this card, okay?
As everyone knows, the card grading system is the same as the card maker grading system: beginner, intermediate, advanced, special, and god-level. This is because a beginner card maker or a beginner card directly corresponds to an A-level mental power user, an intermediate card to an S-level card, an advanced card to an SS-level card, a special card to an SSS-level card, and a god-level card—that's just a legend, and no one has ever achieved it.
Card crafting failures typically result in two outcomes: either the card explodes, which is why card makers choose well-protected workshops; or it becomes a damaged card with weakened energy fluctuations or strange attributes, or both.
What bound Li Tianze was clearly a damaged card.
[Xiao Han, what are you up to this time?] Old Man Xing asked curiously.
[Now they're begging me, and since they won't say why, I guess I'll just have to put up with this rude guy. Who told him to insult our Xiao Ye?]
[So you're happy to let them come along?]
[I'm curious what I could possibly gain without revealing my system and card-maker identity. Or why would they need to follow me to survive?] Lian Han continued feeding Xing Ye.
Aren't you afraid that curiosity killed the cat? Old Man Xing was about to advise her when he thought of the cards on this girl's body. Leaving aside the beast cards, she had piles of basic elemental cards, enhancement cards, attack cards, and so on. Moreover, their attributes were quite good (the ones with bad attributes were all taken and sold by Lian Han).
With so many cards at her disposal, she's unlikely to get into any trouble. If those guys dare to mess with her, they probably won't even know how they died.
Having considered this, Old Man Xing let her be. Anyway, if the sky falls, the strange beasts will hold it up; if all else fails, the system will help, and this girl won't die.
