"come back."
Zhou Chuan called out softly, and the next moment he saw three cards rush into his palm like tired birds returning to the forest, and then merged into the sea of his heart again.
After letting out a long sigh, he leaned over and picked up the nine cards scattered on the ground. After gathering them together, he handed them to the nine people one by one, saying, "Thank you."
His friendly and humble attitude made it so that the nine people who had lost two games in a row in one day did not feel the slightest bit of strange emotion.
There is no way. This is a supernatural world where the strong are respected. The winners have given them so much face, so why should they, as losers, feel resentful
"Brother Chuan, you have to treat us to a meal when you get back. It's one against nine. You beat us so badly."
One of Zhou Chuan's classmates was the first to react. He put his arm around Zhou Chuan's shoulders, with a smile that was half helpless and half teasing.
Zhou Chuan smiled and said, "No problem, I'll treat everyone to skewers later!"
These people are actually very promising card makers, and they are all from the same hometown. They have no grudges against each other. He certainly won't look down on them just because of a failure.
After a slap in the face, you always have to give a sweet reward. In his previous life, he was a project leader in his early twenties and was in charge of a group of old foxes. He does have some magnanimity.
"Congratulations."
Gao Chun looked at Zhou Chuan with a very complicated expression. He really didn't expect that the other party was so strong.
Although his mental strength is still at the silver level, his card-making level is far beyond theirs. Even in the city's Card Makers Association, I'm afraid only President Fu can surpass him.
With such a terrifying talent, it’s no wonder that Yu Zhouzhou always calls him “the protagonist”.
"Give."
Gao Chun handed the school uniform jacket back to Zhou Chuan and sighed helplessly.
"Let's have a barbecue together later."
Zhou Chuan put on his coat and chuckled.
Gao Chun also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Congratulations to several students for passing the preliminaries."
He Lengfeng came over and explained, "Since our competition is to select a group of people to participate in the exchange meeting, there is no finals. The entire competition system is only divided into four stages: preliminary round, preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals."
"That is to say, everyone will go to the provincial competition next week to participate in the semi-finals. You must rest up and review the making methods of skill cards and weapon cards in the next few days. The questions in the semi-finals should be about one of these two."
"clear."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, without any tension.
Being able to get to this point has already exceeded their expectations, and extra points in the college entrance examination are just something they can think about.
"Senior He, please come with us to have barbecue." Zhou Chuan made an invitation.
"I still have to go back and check my data, so I won't go. Have fun, you guys."
He Lengfeng shook his head and gave a stiff smile, then moved closer to Zhou Chuan and spoke earnestly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"If anyone from the Zhao family comes to see you in the next few days, no matter what they say, don't agree. Remember, your top priority right now is the competition and the college entrance examination. These are the most important things in your life. We will help you solve other problems."
"I see."
Zhou Chuan was stunned at first, but soon figured out what the "Zhao family" He Lengfeng was referring to.
It was a local powerful force in the province. The family business covered many fields and was well-known in the surrounding areas for its monopoly on some ancient knowledge related to ghost cards.
Even the material library and mental recovery potions for this preliminary round were provided by them.
But this does not mean that they attach great importance to the cultivation of local talents. Perhaps only the helmsman of his company and President Fu can explain the twists and turns.
"You don't have to worry too much. They know how to restrain themselves, especially the head of the Zhao family, who is quite tactful. After the college entrance examination, they might even give you some investment." He Lengfeng said again.
"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, senior."
Zhou Chuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
After a brief farewell, he took the remaining eighteen people to a local cheap and affordable food stall.
We were all students, and after eating and drinking, we quickly got rid of all our stress and boredom.
Especially Gao Chun, after three rounds of drinking, he began to complain with red eyes, and grabbed Zhou Chuan's arm and kept nagging, looking like a "scheme 0".
It didn't stop until he was knocked down by the ghost wall.
After everyone had a good laugh, they all went home, and soon only Zhou Chuan and Yu Zhouzhou were left at the food stall.
"Hey, Zhou Chuan, my parents want to see you. Can you come home with me later?" Yu Zhouzhou suddenly said in a low voice.
"Go to your house?" Zhou Chuan's eyebrows moved when he heard it. After a little thought, he agreed: "Okay."
"Yeah." Yu Zhouzhou's pretty face did not reveal any expression, but her swaying slender legs exposed her excitement at the moment.
Zhou Chuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, but then he looked at the ghost wall in his hand and fell into deep thought.
With his current energy reserves and card-making experience, what themes should he choose to create cards in the next round of rematches
Skill cards have a general target, but ghost weapons have a rather large range:
The suona that is played from birth to death, the coffin-shaped sedan chair with the word "happiness" written on it, the butcher's knife that is quite mysterious in legends, the broom used to remove bad luck during the New Year, the left-handed ghost flag that is common in novels...
There are so many options available for production that Zhou Chuan can't help but feel a little confused.
The so-called weapon cards, unlike the equipment that comes with some spirit cards, are mainly held in the hands of the card player himself, and they cannot be used without some class.
But Zhou Chuan has such a personality. He not only pursues "coolness", but also requires that this first weapon card must have some "torture" attributes.
It's not that he is not a human being, it's just that the tone set by the Black and White Impermanence, the Ghost Wall, and the Dark Peach Blossom Spring is so clear that the prototype of the first set of cards has already deviated in this direction.
For the sake of overall coordination, he had no choice but to choose this weapon with its inherently disgusting properties.
At least in his heart, he has always been a serious person.
“Then choose it.”
Zhou Chuan tapped the wooden table lightly and couldn't help but smile.
Just at this moment, the luxury car that came to pick up Yu Zhouzhou to take home also arrived at the door of the food stall, and the two got in the car together.
Through the dark-toned window, Zhou Chuanyuan gazed at the scenery that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
He has lived in this city for more than 30 years in his past and present lives, but this is the first time he has seen the scenery of this "rich area".
Just looking at the trees in this villa area, they are almost as tall as the building where his house is located.
“Tsk.”
Zhou Chuan leaned back in the expensive leather seat, his eyes falling on Yu Zhouzhou's slightly red and delicate profile.
Why didn’t I realize before that this girl was actually a wealthy woman
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Zhouzhou showed her fangs and turned her head slightly away proudly.
But there was no intention of refusing.
