Remembering that his identity must not be exposed, "Lian Han" continued to hide in his room and stay inside after he had made a certain number of cards.
This left Ming Yu with no way to investigate, even if he wanted to. Finally, as if he had suddenly received some news, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly packed his things and left, reminding "Lian Han" to leave as soon as possible before he left.
Lian Han didn't comment on this. If everything was normal on Lian Shuixing, she wouldn't be here. It's just a matter of not knowing what will happen next.
Regardless of what happened, the further unsealing of the sealing card gave her a lot of confidence. Even her S-grade body was upgraded to 2S using the Marrow Cleansing Card, which further enhanced her strength.
The drawbacks of losing the sense of pain became apparent at this moment; she had advanced twice without experiencing any pain. If she were injured and bleeding, would she be completely unaware? The thought flashed through her mind, and Lian Han unconsciously placed her fingertips on the back of her right hand—all because of the Blood Nether Flower…
Previously, when she asked how to get back, the other party replied: "You can do so once Xingjun has completed his upgrade."
Lian Han took a minute to understand. Xingjun was the name of the No. 1 beast, but she didn't know why it was called that. She had originally wanted to give No. 1 a random name, but the old man said that the first card had to have a meaningful name. She didn't know what kind of meaningful name it was, so the name had been delayed until now.
Besides that sentence, the other party also gave her some advice, such as protecting Ye Ying, being careful of the Han family, and being careful of Jiang Chenxi and Ming Yu, which Lian Han noted down one by one.
Although these words seemed somewhat nonsensical, "Lian Han" felt that being cautious was never a bad thing. As for Night Cherry—
Lian Han thought of how Han Ningshu had been so certain that this girl was a member of Li Ye, but she returned to school four months later, and Han Ningshu had avoided mentioning it since then; she also thought of the girl's gentle nature, as if anyone could step on her, but she had never lost when challenged. This roommate of hers had finally piqued her curiosity.
[I'm telling you, instead of wasting time thinking about all this nonsense, you should make more cards to familiarize yourself with your mental power, or do more quests. Even though your mental power is 2S, you haven't collected all the cards in your "Intermediate Card Crafting Manual" yet. There's still the advanced one coming up. You're not really deciding to abandon cards and go for A-level, are you?]
"Who said that? Cards are my life." Lian Han retorted.
Old Xing just smiled and didn't say anything. No one knew who had gradually shifted the time spent practicing card making to learning professional knowledge about armor making.
However, Old Man Xing didn't seem to mean to remind her.
Lian Han learned card games because of him, and was forced by the system to learn armor crafting. Admittedly, she had good talent in both areas, but neither was something she truly liked. Her previous aversion to armor crafting was simply because she had studied card games for so many years, and the sudden change caught her off guard.
Lian Han was naturally unaware of what Old Xing was thinking. After being reminded by the old man, she also remembered that the "Intermediate Card Making Atlas" currently only had 3 incomplete copies.
But the system's tasks were too random; sometimes there would be several a day, and sometimes not a single task for half a year. Knowing when to collect them all was a big problem. She could only think about it and then put the matter aside.
That day, she finally felt stifled and decided to go out for a walk. Since it was Old Xing's hometown, it would be a pity not to take a good look. However, before going out, in order to avoid trouble, she did not forget to put on the mask she had used to cover up before.
Lian Han was surrounded by aquatic products, and she walked into a small shop highly recommended by Old Man Xing to try the snacks he mentioned. Suddenly, she stopped, looked up to her right, and saw something staring at her.
[This location should be a satellite used for connecting to Mercury's outer light source; you're being too sensitive.] Old Xing said helplessly.
[A conditioned reflex.] Confirming that no one was intentionally watching her, Lian Han lowered her head and walked into the store.
Ever since she recalled that past, she's become a bit neurotic. That year-long escape, or more accurately, the ordeal, successfully honed her into an extremely sensitive person. Originally, this was only reflected in her behavior, but since remembering those things, she has gradually become sensitive to her surroundings as well, and even the slightest change can attract her attention.
This isn't a good sign, but she might not be able to change...
Looking at the satellite surveillance footage, someone's gaze lingered on a shop, lost in thought.
Seafood Shop—a rather ordinary name, but since it's related to food, and that figure—he shouldn't have been mistaken. But how could she—
"Has the location been found?"
Immediately, someone highlighted several key locations, stating, "Several potential outbreak sites have been identified, and emergency evacuations are being organized."
It's a coincidence that the place he was looking at was right near the potential outbreak zone. Could it be a coincidence?
The man frowned and said, "I'll go here, and one team will go check out the other places separately."
"You're going yourself?" The adjutant was about to object when the other man gave him a look and he immediately changed his mind, "Please do as you please. I'll take care of things here."
"You can contact me if there are any unexpected situations," the man said, taking off his military uniform and placing it on a chair before quickly leaving.
So, a strikingly beautiful customer appeared at the seafood shop, and before "Lian Han" had even finished her dim sum, she was cornered. Looking at the person blocking her way, the girl frowned, "What's the matter?"
“You should be in the Northern Territory right now,” Ning Jue said with certainty.
Lian Han: ...What kind of treasure is this Lian Shui Xing? With nearly a thousand planets and hundreds of billions of people in the entire Federation, how did she manage to run into two acquaintances here?
The girl blinked, seemingly puzzled. "The older man is quite handsome. But do we know each other?"
Are you pretending?
Ning Jue smiled and leaned closer to the girl, "Since you're so pretty, when will you accept my advances?"
Pursuing?! Where did this guy get this twisted sense of humor? Lian Han's eyelids twitched, and he leaned back. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good-looking! Uncle, how old are you?"
He was being stabbed in the heart again by his age. Ning Jue felt a pang of self-loathing for being born more than a decade too early, but his tone carried a hint of danger. "I remember you said you wouldn't mention your age anymore."
It's true that he's twice her age, even if we don't mention it. However, due to her perception of danger, "Lian Han" didn't say it aloud.
"It's dangerous here now, hurry up and finish eating and go back, sweetie." Taking advantage of his height, Ning Jue patted the girl's head, but only after patting it did he realize something was wrong.
That height is wrong!
Ning Jue raised an eyebrow, "Xiao Han, why have you shrunk in size?"
Lian Han: "...You're the one who's shrunken! Do we even know each other? If you keep bothering me, I'll call the police!"
She deliberately raised her voice for the last sentence, immediately attracting the attention of the crowd that was already spying on them.
But Ning Jue reacted quickly, putting one arm around her shoulder and tapping her forehead with the other, his eyes filled with doting affection, and coaxing her, "Sweetie, stop fooling around. All the clothes you liked have been ordered and will arrive soon. Come back with me, okay?"
