Chapter 284 : 283-284

Luo Sheng opened his card box, originally containing over 500 seized cards, now only 470 remained.

He spent a day enhancing, consuming a total of 32 cards.

Moreover, he used up all the high-level cards he had seized at once.

Now in his hands, there were various silver 4-star to bronze 2-star cards scattered about.

Basically useless.

Laborious yet not valuable, enhancement required consuming a large amount of time.

“Forget it, wait until things stabilize in the future, then come back to enhance these cards.”

Luo Sheng simply chose not to think about it and went down the stairs.

Just as he arrived on the first floor.

He found quite a commotion in the kitchen.

“I won’t eat, I won’t eat, this is poison!”

Before finishing the stairs, he heard Dongfang Muqing’s voice being coerced.

Then Bai Moxue’s voice followed, “How could that be? This is for your own good, this medicinal soup can moisten your throat, making your singing even more enchanting in the future.”

“I’d rather die than drink it, hmph! In this life, I’ll only eat the delicacies made by Acoley.”

“Sister Muqing, your hands are so dirty, don’t come over, you’re ruining the food!” Acoley said somewhat helplessly.

“Bothering sister Acoley every day, come with me, I’ll make you something delicious.” Bai Moxue, like a female protagonist, grabbed Dongfang Muqing by the neck.

Although Dongfang Muqing was 300 years old, she still looked like a little loli.

She struggled hard, but unfortunately, couldn’t escape from Bai Moxue’s palm.

Looking at Bai Moxue with tearful eyes, “Sister Bai, I was wrong, I’ll listen to you in the future, can you stop feeding me poison? All those are dregs, I’m afraid I won’t see tomorrow’s sun.”

“This child, what are you saying? Darling loves my medicinal cuisine, it strengthens the body, and even boosts virility. With him testing it, are you still afraid of being poisoned?” Bai Moxue said with a smile.

Luo Sheng was about to step onto the first floor when he withdrew his foot.

It seemed best not to go to the kitchen.

Then he sent a message to Zhao Haifeng.

Telling him that he had already moved to the XC district.

A moment later, Zhao Haifeng called, “Brother Sheng, you moved so quickly, isn’t the XC district expensive?”

“Mm.” Luo Sheng nodded.

Then he told him about the rent for his previous house and the fee needed to pay for the pass to enter the XC district.

“It’s actually this expensive, if it were me, I probably could only live in those pigeon lofts. I didn’t expect the City Lord to be so black-hearted, isn’t this profiteering from national calamity?” Zhao Haifeng said depressedly.

“I said the same thing.”

Luo Sheng said amusingly.

“Sigh, if it weren’t for family requirements, I’d like to follow you and experience the villa life. Unfortunately, the family already has designated apartments in the XC district, can’t change it, so I have to obediently move in there.” Zhao Haifeng complained.

Luo Sheng curiously inquired further.

Zhao Haifeng explained in detail.

“It’s some cheap apartments for internal members of the Pingcheng Alliance, we’re also lucky that my uncle managed to get a few floors of apartments to settle the family, only need to symbolically pay a few thousand yuan to live there permanently, the City Lord’s office is also on this side.”

Listening to his introduction.

Luo Sheng immediately felt more eager to become a civil servant.

At least during wartime, he could get free housing allocation, and living near the City Lord would be safer.

Unlike this neighborhood, where even the guardian was only a silver full-star Card Master, with a level lower than his own.

At this time, Zhao Haifeng continued: “Oh, right, I heard something, the five-school joint exam originally planned for a month later is not going to be held.”

Luo Sheng nodded in response: “Indeed, given the current situation, there’s no way to have exams.”

“So, this year’s Alliance University admissions will be directly based on level rankings, I heard the standard is set at silver 3-star as the baseline, the higher the level, the better the Card University you can get into.” Zhao Haifeng gave him more explosive news.

“What’s your level?” Luo Sheng asked.

“Ah, don’t mention it, it’s all heartbreaking. I’ve been stuck at silver 5-star for two months, probably won’t even reach 6-star next month.” Zhao Haifeng said with a bitter smile.

Then he asked: “Brother Sheng, what about you?”

“I’m just a bit behind, about silver 7-star.” Luo Sheng originally wanted to say eight stars, but afraid of hurting his confidence, so he lowered it a bit.

Of course, if he told him that he was actually already at gold 3-star, he’d probably feel like hanging himself.

“Amazing, I didn’t expect you to have come so far, platinum is just around the corner for you!” Zhao Haifeng said in surprise.

After that, they chatted about some ordinary topics.

Luo Sheng also invited him to come over to his place when he had time.

The call ended shortly after.

Luo Sheng had a strange expression, especially after hearing this news.

Just then.

The sound of the door opening came from the entrance.

Xu Yourong came in from outside.

He had told her earlier that there was a door key hidden in a flower bed by the entrance.

It was Xu Yourong’s first time entering this villa.

“Welcome.” Luo Sheng smiled at her from the stairs.

Xu Yourong stared at him blankly for a few moments.

Then she took out her phone, dialed a number, and handed it to Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng looked at her curiously.

At this moment.

“Xu Yourong?”

A soft and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, it was Qin Jianjia’s voice.

Luo Sheng answered: “It’s me, your lovely roommate.”

“Luo Sheng?”

“I heard you went missing.”

“Mm, they weren’t going to let me go, I escaped during a moment of chaos, now I’m living at my aunt’s place.” Qin Jianjia said briefly.

“Aunt? I never heard you mention her before.”

“She’s not in Pingcheng, she hasn’t been to Pingcheng since my parents passed away.”

“So where are you now?”

“Goose City, living at her home, and I’ve promised her to attend Guohui Card University here.”

“Hm?” Luo Sheng was confused.

Because the requirements for this Card University were not low.

Each recruitment only selected the top 10 ranked Card Masters from each city.

It was one of the top universities in the Card Alliance.

Qin Jianjia seemed to hear his confusion, so she said: “My aunt is a diamond-level Fate Card Master at the university, I can enter if I pass the assessment.”

“That’s very good, so the Evil Card Masters won’t do anything to you, right?”

“Theoretically, yes.”

There’s still theory involved?

However, hearing that she was safe, Luo Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that he did feel some reluctance, Goose City was very far from here, it would be difficult to meet.

They might lose contact in the future, thinking of this, Luo Sheng wasn’t so happy.

He felt a bit of loss.

Qin Jianjia seemed to hear his loss, so she said: “Our previous agreement is still valid, if you reach platinum, I’ll be with you.”

“Are you sure you’re not just stringing me along?” Luo Sheng half-joked.

“Don’t you have a rule card? Now is the best time to use it.” Qin Jianjia laughed as well.

“Can we meet again?”

“Once you’ve settled on your university.”

“Mm.”

“By the way.” At this point, it was Qin Jianjia’s turn to question: “Why are you using Xu Yourong’s phone?”

“Because you hardly replied to the messages I sent you before.”

“My phone was destroyed, so I’m using my old account, sorry.” Qin Jianjia said apologetically, but then she realized, “You’re changing the subject again, you still haven’t answered why she’s with you.”

“She’s my subordinate.”

Luo Sheng thought for a long time before saying.

Then he told her about what happened before, including Xu Yourong being hunted by Evil Card Masters and her family, finally seeking his protection.

And becoming his subordinate in the end.

Qin Jianjia said with a strange expression: “What level are you now?”

“Gold level.” Luo Sheng answered calmly.

“No wonder… um… should I raise the requirements a bit? If you have me too early, you might not cherish me.”

“You’re too late, I’ve already used the rule card.”

Luo Sheng was just joking with her, rule cards had time limitations.

And over such a long distance, it couldn’t be used at all.

Qin Jianjia also knew he was joking, she covered her mouth and giggled, then said: “Alright, then I’ll just wait.”

Then Luo Sheng noted down her phone number, and they hung up.

At this point, Luo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

At least now, Qin Jianjia had escaped from the bitter sea of forced marriage by the Evil Card Masters.

Although they were separated now, at least Luo Sheng didn’t need to split his attention too much, now he could focus on his own affairs.

“Right.” Luo Sheng turned to look at Xu Yourong, “This is for you, it will help you.”

He handed her the silver 5-star 【Refinement Liquid】 he had created earlier.

When Xu Yourong saw this card, she was stunned.

She looked up at him in disbelief.

Finally, she couldn’t help but ask: “You can create resource cards?”
