Chapter 174 : 173-174

The Mechanical City was still shrouded in dark clouds, with rolling thunder.

From time to time, one could hear the roars of mechanical beasts, and the clashing of metal in the distance, which was very jarring.

No matter how the wind howled and rain poured outside, creating an apocalyptic scene, inside Luo Sheng’s bunker cottage, it was still as warm as spring, with pleasant weather year-round.

He eagerly chewed his food in large bites.

Luo Sheng had exhausted almost all of his energy, and now needed to replenish his magic well to fill his rumbling stomach.

In one gulp, he swallowed a full bowl of mushroom soup.

And he praised it: “It’s really delicious indeed, Acoley’s culinary skills are simply impeccable.”

Luo Sheng was more than familiar with her cooking.

He could tell it was her cooking just by tasting it.

Meanwhile, Bai Moxue’s face still carried a tinge of blush, looking slightly intoxicated.

At this moment, she was covered in fragrant sweat, her hair also damp with sweat and curled up, sticking to her fair face.

Bai Moxue exuded an incomparable charm at this moment, the delicate form of a mature woman.

It seemed to be the radiance of youth, the breath of vitality, and the obedience of a married woman.

She slept with her head on Luo Sheng’s lap, her face still wearing an expression of enjoyment, lying quietly on the ground like this.

Seeing her in this state, Luo Sheng sighed with emotion, “She’s indeed become stronger, at least now she’s no match for me.”

He felt inexplicably smug about it.

After all, he had been suppressed by Bai Moxue before, and now he had regained his dominance, which was indeed something to be proud of.

Luo Sheng swept through everything on the table like a storm.

Bai Moxue finally woke up hazily, obviously exhausted from the previous events, and gently stretched.

She looked at Luo Sheng with his bulging stomach and coyly complained: “You stinky darling, you really don’t cherish the fairer sex! My waist is still very sore.”

“Are you convinced now?” Luo Sheng turned his head to look at her, with an arrogant and provocative expression, blowing air near her: “If you’re not convinced, we can go again, you know?”

“You bad guy, you just know how to bully me, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Bai Moxue’s light red thin lips were lightly bitten by her white teeth, her eyes unfocused, not daring to look at him directly, seemingly showing a bit of guilt.

Then she changed the subject: “You rascal have no seriousness, in such a dangerous place now, yet you’re still thinking about these things. The most important thing for a man is his career, don’t let women hinder your steps.”

“Oh right, making you all convinced is also one of my careers,” Luo Sheng joked.

“You bad guy!”

Bai Moxue glared at him coquettishly, then punched him lightly before putting her clothes back on properly.

Seeing her shy appearance, Luo Sheng immediately felt amused. He had finally completely subdued Bai Moxue.

Otherwise, he would have to face her golden scissors and spine-chilling embroidery needles in the future, especially her sarcastic manner, which made him shudder just thinking about it.

Luo Sheng preferred the feeling now, a kind of inexplicably familiar sense of control.

Perhaps after his strength increased, his control over the world became stronger.

But Luo Sheng was still clear-headed now.

He knew that his strength was not considered top-tier, especially after seeing the strength of the Card Alliance envoy, he was still far behind compared to her.

Luo Sheng’s own goal had never changed.

That was to enter the Card Alliance, become a civil servant, live an idle life daily, and muddle along.

“Can’t let power blind my eyes,” Luo Sheng pondered for a moment. In this world, being overly superstitious about one thing could easily cost one’s life.

Xia Xingri was like this, after being cultivated by the Card Collector organization, he became arrogant, and was finally tricked by himself.

“Let’s go, become stronger.”

Luo Sheng stood up and actively extended his hand in front of Bai Moxue.

“Mm, it seems you have a clear goal, darling.” Bai Moxue extended her soft cotton-like hand, gently grasping Luo Sheng’s rough and broad palm.

Then she was pulled up by him.

Previously, Bai Moxue was worried that he would indulge in beauty, or even become addicted to his own abilities.

But now it seemed she had worried too much.

Seeing Luo Sheng adjust himself well.

Bai Moxue’s face carried a faint smile, happy for her husband.

Which wife doesn’t hope for her husband to become successful?

Then Bai Moxue hid in the darkness, always following in Luo Sheng’s shadow.

Luo Sheng summoned the experimental mecha, a more flexible and close-fitting mecha covered his body, unexpectedly a mechanical voice sounded from inside, “Welcome back, my master, please complete the master settings.”

“Indeed, the mecha after qualitative change still has something to it.”

Luo Sheng observed the mecha from inside.

Virtual icons were displayed in his field of vision.

There were a lot of original settings, such as mecha AI name setting, body fitness fine-tuning, flight power assembly setting, and display interface color setting.

A bunch of dazzling things.

Luo Sheng felt like he was back to when he got a new phone.

“For the AI name, let’s call it Jianjia, and change the voice to something similar to hers.”

Luo Sheng controlled the virtual interface through his eyeballs and brain waves.

In the end, for the voice, Luo Sheng chose a voice similar to Lin Zhiling.

He was used to hearing it on navigation in his previous life, so when he couldn’t choose Qin Jianjia’s voice, he chose the most familiar voice.

However, the owner of the Lin Zhiling-like voice in this world was an unknown minor celebrity.

Luo Sheng finally pressed confirm.

“Jianjia is at your service, master. Your settings will become default, and Jianjia will moderately change settings according to the master’s usage habits,” the mecha AI announced.

Luo Sheng was still immersed in the mecha’s settings.

At this time, Bai Moxue knocked on him from outside: “Darling, what are you doing? You haven’t moved for so long.”

Luo Sheng’s facial mecha suddenly opened, revealing his face, and he explained: “I was just setting the mecha parameters.”

“Okay, can I take a look?” Bai Moxue wanted to squeeze in, but found the mecha was too small.

So, she had to give up.

Luo Sheng’s mecha now sounded “Jianjia’s” voice again: “Master, an unknown creature has been detected, and her voice has been identified. Do you need to record it?”

“No need.” Luo Sheng chose to deny.

Then he lit up an 【Open Door】 card, and the locked door suddenly opened.

Luo Sheng discovered something, if 【Open Door】 and 【Close Door】 were used simultaneously, there would be a conflict, the two cards would cancel each other out, so the door couldn’t be opened.

But if one was used first, and after a while, the other was used.

It could be used.

Therefore, when encountering Card Masters with such cards, to prevent them from entering, the best way was to maintain 【Open Door】 or 【Close Door】 for a period of time, leaving those outside helpless.

The heavy door was opened.

Luo Sheng, wearing the compact mecha, walked out from inside.

At this time in the Mechanical City.

Battles were erupting everywhere.

In the distance, several Card Masters could be seen engaging in battles with invading creatures, which were mechanical humans and mechanical dragons.

It seemed that many Card Masters had arrived at the Mechanical City and discovered the hidden things inside.

But the invading creatures in the Mechanical City also launched counterattacks, and the battles were very intense.

When Luo Sheng came out.

The Card Masters from other academies saw this.

They whispered among themselves: “Isn’t that Door Opening Master? I didn’t expect him to hide in the bunker.”

“Could it be that he was scared out of his wits?”

“It’s possible, the invading creatures here are of such high levels, if one is alone, they might be terrified.”

These Card Masters who were not from Experimental No. 2 School.

They didn’t know how formidable Luo Sheng was at all, brainwashed by the previous public opinion, they only thought Luo Sheng won purely through despicable means.

And they revealed contemptuous smiles.

Suddenly, a huge 【Relic Guardian】 suddenly landed here, its enormous figure standing as tall as a 3-story building.

Especially the red light emanating from its center, which was even more chilling.

“Monster! This is simply a boss!”

Those Card Masters who were mocking Luo Sheng earlier.

Now their faces changed, pupils constricted, as if they had seen something terrifying, and they swallowed.

Because the aura emitted by the 【Relic Guardian】 reached silver 3-star, its strength was absolutely formidable.

For these bronze-level Card Masters, it was extremely difficult to deal with, even surviving in its hands was questionable.

It had reached the level of an invading creature’s big boss, probably requiring a large number of Card Masters to help, and even then it would be difficult to eliminate it.

Just as everyone was about to flee.

“The Door Opening Master is gone!”

One of their companions suddenly called out to everyone, then the others all turned their heads.

They saw that Luo Sheng was not afraid of danger.

His eyes revealed a hint of excitement, like a fearless warrior, he charged straight towards it.
