"He is a person recognized by the gods and ghosts. No wonder Old Master thinks highly of him."
In the red light of the setting sun, Zhao Xuanhua shook the wine glass lightly, looked at Zhou Chuan's back from afar, and murmured in a low voice.
At the same time, he calculated in his mind: the time of Zhou Chuan's "rise" almost completely coincides with the time when the relic appeared, and the aura is so similar, there is probably some connection.
Then he thought again, with the opponent's strength, he will definitely be able to stand out in this competition and get the opportunity to enter. We will know what the relationship is then.
The Zhao family can also adjust their investment strength based on this, so they can ensure a stable income regardless of drought or flood.
Zhao Xuanhua thought to herself as she drank the scarlet wine in the glass, as if she was drinking blood.
At this moment, Zhou Chuan turned his head, looked at her from a distance, nodded silently, and stepped into the elevator.
"Zhao family..."
Zhou Chuan chewed over these two words slowly, then took out his cell phone and quickly replied to the messages from Mr. Fu and the team leader.
"Brother Chuan is really leisurely. He has to go out for a stroll even though the competition is about to start."
Back in the room, Gao Chun was leaning on a chair, pressing the TV remote control out of boredom. It was not until he saw Zhou Chuan that he forced a smile.
"What about you? Why don't you practice anymore?" Zhou Chuan hung his coat on the chair, took out a stack of A4 paper from the drawer, and drew some lines with a pencil that only he could understand.
"Anxiety." Gao Chun said helplessly.
"The sage mode just loves to daydream." Zhou Chuan raised his hand and threw a bottle of Nutri-Express at Gao Chun, then continued to "doodle" with his head down.
Gao Chun yelled twice, then drank his drink in three gulps with a serious expression and started watching the news.
"A medium-sized ancient ruin has appeared! The Dragon Province Card Players Alliance has dispatched a large number of operators there."
"The Japanese Hundred Ghosts Project is progressing smoothly. It is reported that a young genius has successfully created this series of purple spiritual cards."
"The first card deck-related themed competition is in full swing and has now entered the semi-final stage."
"The number of college entrance examination candidates has hit a new high! Relevant personnel said that there are already more than thousands of troops trying to cross this single-plank bridge!"
And so, the whole night passed in silence.
The next morning, Zhou Chuan was awakened by a series of banging sounds on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Cao Yan, full of energy, and Yu Zhouzhou, looking sleepy, standing outside.
"gone."
After saying that, Cao Yan was about to pull Zhou Chuan to the restaurant downstairs.
After much persuasion, Zhou Chuan finally bought himself some time to wash up, and then went downstairs with them.
Looking at the empty restaurant, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Cao, why did you call me here so early in the morning? What's the important matter?"
"Here." Cao Yan pointed to a glass-walled area in the corner, where a dozen high school students in various school uniforms were sitting. "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I searched various online chat groups and forums, and finally got some important information."
She turned her head and said mysteriously, "I heard from an elder that the retest of your Ghost Battle Path will be held at the nearby Demon Slaying Tower, and there is only this hotel within a ten-mile radius. Guess... where did your opponents sleep last night?"
"here?"
"Bingo!" Cao Yan snapped her fingers and said with a wicked smile, "Ah Chuan, if we put laxatives all over the restaurant, will you advance directly?"
"Don't mess around! Do you want me to go to jail and eat a big bowl of prison food?"
"Hey, I'm such a reckless person in your mind."
“You just found out.”
"Let's not talk about this useless stuff. Hey, Achuan, why don't you get to know them in advance so that you can have a better idea of what's going on."
"… also."
So under the leadership of the community leader Cao Yan, Zhou Chuan and Yu Zhouzhou successfully met their next opponents.
Although he was unable to remember the names of these passers-by, Zhou Chuan still gave them code names in his mind based on their main characteristics, such as Muscle Man, Cold Sister, and Crazy Girl.
If the rules of the next game require a 1V1 duel, then these small codes will become the sword that helps him win.
It is worth noting that there was a slightly plump high school student with his school uniform tied around his waist and obvious dark circles under his eyes, sitting opposite the restaurant, with one arm around a girl in cool clothes, watching this side from a distance.
His gaze stayed on Zhou Chuan for an especially long time, but he didn't do anything extreme. He just kept grinning evilly and said something to the girl next to him, but it didn't seem like he was saying anything nice from his mouth.
"Hey, sister, who is that Shabi over there? He's laughing like a ghost."
At this time, Cao Yan asked the infatuated girl.
"Ah?" The infatuated girl who was blatantly looking at Zhou Chuan's profile came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and whispered: "That man is called Ma Guancheng, he comes from a well-off family, and he has a high talent for card making. He is a well-known scumbag in our school."
"Then why does he keep looking at Achuan?"
"Well... some people say that the girl he liked got together with a handsome guy, and since then he has become a different person. He especially hates those handsome classmates... Of course, these are all rumors, and only he knows the truth. Anyway, this guy... is quite crazy."
"To put it bluntly, he deserves a beating. He stopped laughing immediately."
Cao Yan was about to stand up when she was stopped by Zhou Chuan: "Ayan, the competition venue of the Demon Battle is quite far from here. You should leave now."
"What about him?"
Under Cao Yan's surprised gaze, Zhou Chuan raised his mobile phone and saw that the page was stuck on the Emperor Penguin mailbox. The latest letter came from the official competition.
Unlike previous spirit card battles, this rematch is more “people-oriented” and consists of two rounds.
In the first round, the contestants will be randomly matched with an opponent. After the game starts, the two will use the materials provided by the organizer to make cards on the spot. After the examiner confirms that the creation is successful, they will use this weapon card to fight.
The second round is the same, except that the type of cards to be made is changed from weapon cards to skill cards.
Different from the previous pure spiritual card collision, this round of rematch actually requires the participation of the card players themselves and it must be more in line with reality.
In addition, in order to save time, the organizers announced the PK list in advance.
The one who fought against Zhou Chuan happened to be this classmate Ma.
"Did he know about this a long time ago?"
Zhou Chuanxin said this, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he returned to the room and pulled out from his mind a piece of draft paper on which he had "scribbled" yesterday.
However, among these crisscrossing and chaotic lines, the pattern of an ancient mirror can be vaguely seen.
In order to win the game smoothly, he prepared more than one plan, whether it was weapon cards or skill cards.
It can be said that no matter who the opponent is, he has multiple sets of coping strategies that are enough to "dirty" the opponent to death.
But now his opponent was randomly chosen to be classmate Ma, so Zhou Chuan prepared to make that thing come into the world.
"The Mirror of Romance and Lust."
Zhou Chuan muttered to himself.
