Legendary Card Craftsman

Chapter 81: True Face

Views:

"it's me."

Zhou Chuan looked at Chen Zhou, whose face looked almost like "uninvited guest" and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"I have also been accepted by Zhuxia. Please give me more advice in the future."

Chen Zhou deliberately emphasized the words "please give me more advice".

The indifferent expression on his face and the flashy windbreaker he was wearing, without even any makeup or dress-up, looked just like a villain in an urban romance novel.

It can be said that he played himself.

"Please give me your guidance."

Zhou Chuan replied casually.

The old man on the side saw that the atmosphere was a little off, so he quickly came out to smooth things over, saying, "This is our Jiuzhou No. 1 scholar. His looks, temperament, and height... are perfect. He is truly a rare talent!"

Zhu Yanbei on the side smacked his lips and automatically blocked certain keywords.

The old man continued to talk to himself, "It is said that it is lonely at the top and that people with extraordinary talents are bound to be lonely! But Jiuzhou now has two geniuses like you at the same time. This is really a rare fate."

"Our master has also prepared a generous gift for classmate Zhou, and has left it at Master Fu's place in Baihu. I believe that classmate Zhou will be satisfied!"

"Master Chen is so polite." Zhou Chuan said softly, "I will definitely pay you a visit after the summer camp is over."

"Sure, sure."

As the old man spoke, he leaned over to Chen Zhou's ear and whispered something.

He seemed to have used some sound transmission skills. Zhou Chuan and Zhu Yanbei did not hear clearly what he said. They only saw the cold-faced young man stiffen his neck and said, "I, Chen Zhou, have never been inferior to others in my life."

This classmate Chen Zhou understands silence better than Mulan.

"well."

The old man sighed lightly, but Zhou Chuan and Zhu Yanbei could clearly see his undisguised satisfaction.

Just as they were surprised, the old man left after saying goodbye, leaving Chen Zhou standing there looking at his departing back.

Just like that, one minute, two minutes... ten minutes passed, the old man's back finally disappeared into the sky, but Chen Zhou still stood there motionless.

Just as Zhu Yanbei was about to pat him on the shoulder, the boy suddenly turned around and showed a silly smile that was extremely inconsistent with his cold face: "Dude, you got full marks in the college entrance examination, awesome!"

He patted Zhou Chuan's shoulder lightly, and his smile didn't seem fake.

"???"

Zhou Chuan was a little confused, wondering if this guy had learned face changing in Sichuan and Chongqing

I won’t watch the Oscars next year unless you get beaten up on stage.

Just when he was surprised, Chen Zhou said apologetically, "I'm sorry for what happened just now, Brother Chuan. The elders are at home, so I could only pretend. Please don't blame me."

"Pretending?" Zhou Chuan was a little confused.

Chen Zhou scratched his hair in embarrassment and explained, "Brother Chuan, you don't know. When I was in elementary school, my father learned a 'secret recipe' from somewhere."

"They said that if you want to train the best card players, you have to cultivate some bullshit undefeated state of mind from the very beginning. I don't know what got my dad into it, but he actually believed it."

"Since then, I have been living under his pressure. Not only do I have to roll up my sleeves like crazy, but I also have to pretend to be cool in various occasions. The more I do this, the more satisfied the old man is."

"I wanted to resist at first, but then I thought, my father was doing this for my own good, so I just gritted my teeth and persevered. But I was really exhausted. Brother Chuan, as the number one king of Kyushu, you should understand my feelings very well."

"Uh, I understand."

Zhou Chuan curled his lips and thought: You are a second-generation rich and I am a first-generation rich, there is nothing I can understand.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhou changed the subject and said, "I gritted my teeth and persisted for nearly ten years, until a few days ago, when you won the top spot in the college entrance examination. I pretended to be unconvinced and resentful, and I couldn't stand losing in front of the elders at home, and they were really scared."

"They were afraid that my 'unbeatable mentality' would be damaged, so they didn't dare to say anything and just left me alone. So I locked the door and stayed in my room playing games for a week straight."

"..." Zhou Chuan remained silent.

Chen Zhou continued, "But later, my parents probably realized that it was not a good idea for someone as 'strong-willed' as me to stay in the room all the time, so they sent me to this summer camp."

"But anyway, it's good to have no one to bother you. Brother Chuan, you are really my brother. In the days without you, I pretended to be cool every day. I was so embarrassed that I could pick out fifty Japanese with my toes!"

Zhou Chuan was silent for a while before saying, "But doesn't your uncle want to train you to achieve that 'unbeatable state of mind'?"

"Harmful."

Chen Zhou didn't mind the dirt, so he leaned against the rotten wooden steps at the entrance of the inn, looking like a stinky dog who said, "I'm just a rotten dog, what can you do to me?" He said lazily, "The old saying is right, life is like a play."

"If the script I got in the first 18 years of my life was "My Son Chen Zhou Has the Possession of a Great Emperor", then the script I got from now on will be "The Reluctant and Helpless Second Place for a Thousand Years Under the Protagonist". Don't worry, Brother Chuan, I will definitely cooperate with you in the future."

"Cooperate with me for what?" Zhou Chuan listened to what this guy said and the more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed to him.

"Show your prowess in public and shock everyone!" Chen Zhou crossed his legs and patted his chest to guarantee: "Brother Chuan, don't worry. From now on, we will be mortal enemies in public, but behind people's backs... hehe, you know."

"You know shit."

Zhou Chuan cursed with a smile, but his eyes moved slightly.

Of course he could tell that Chen Zhou was not lying.

But he also knew that this guy was definitely not as insignificant as he described himself.

Putting aside other things, if there wasn’t such a “cheating” player like him, this guy would have been the top scorer in the college entrance examination!

How could he, who is number one among his peers in the extraordinary world, not have anything special

But this guy seems to be easy to get along with, and he has amazing talent, so he can get along well with him. So he stretched out his hand and said, "Let me introduce myself again. I'm Zhou Chuan from Baihu City, an ordinary prospective college student."

Chen Zhou was stunned at first, then he laughed and shook hands with Zhou Chuan: "Chen Zhou, the king of mini games."

"Are all geniuses nowadays so weird? One is full of bad intentions, the other is a poor actor..." Zhu Yan thought helplessly and shook his head, then turned and walked towards his room: "Forget about it, let's go look in the mirror first."

"Hey, Brother Chuan, did you bring your computer?"

"Yes."

"That would be great."

As Chen Zhou spoke, he rolled up the expensive-looking windbreaker into a ball and threw it to the garbage dump on the west side of the inn, then followed Zhou Chuan to a room.

At this moment in the room, Mr. Ba was leaning on the bed and petting the dog, while Mr. Jia was sitting cross-legged quietly, staring at the computer screen which was not much bigger than his eyes, watching cartoons.

"Is this Brother Chuan's spiritual card? So cool!"

Chen Zhou's gaze stayed on Master Jia for a long time, then he looked at Master Ba and commented with shining eyes.
