Chapter 89: We All Have a Strange Friend

Luo Sheng chatted with him for a while.

He roughly understood the current situation in Pingcheng. The ghostly otherworld dimension had retreated due to the involvement of the academy, and even the demon realm had stopped expanding because of Luo Sheng’s actions.

Returning to its previous state, Pingcheng had resumed normal life order except for strengthened vigilance.

However, there was a slight disappointment.

In this incident, many Card Masters lost their lives, with over 200 casualties from the armed forces and guard squads.

Each academy also had more than a dozen students go missing.

As a result, the Card Alliance sent some powerful experts from other cities to support Pingcheng in restoring order and arrested several members of evil organizations.

In news photographs, Luo Sheng saw the figure of Paul, the Card Collector Master, who was subdued along with the alliance’s special envoys and later escorted onto an armored vehicle headed for prison.

“It seems this matter has come to an end.”

Luo Sheng felt relieved seeing several organization members brought to justice, “It’s only been 5 days, but so much has happened.”

“Brother Sheng, are you free? Want to enter the black market together?” Zhao Haifeng invited, “I just got out of solitary confinement and have nothing to do.”

“Of course, I was planning to check out the black market too,” Luo Sheng nodded.

He had a 【Black Mask】 card that he hadn’t used yet, and now that someone invited him, it could finally be put to use.

“Meet at the academy entrance in 10 minutes.”

“No problem.”

Then the two ended their chat.

Luo Sheng took the opportunity to check the school forum during the interval.

You yan bisheng: “Yay! The school finally ended the assigned mission. This ghostly otherworld dimension invasion made me have no time for dating, and my girlfriend said she wanted to break up with me. So annoying.”

Xue yao qian yang: “Open the door for a water meter check, I’m the Door Opening Master, now I’m requisitioning your girlfriend!”

An yang: “I heard the academy is going to announce some competition in 15 days, does anyone know the details?”

Ka wa yi nie: “Yay! I finally drew a 【Close Door】 card!”

Luo Sheng glanced at the forum, which was mostly filled with meaningless chatter, mostly celebrating the end of the mission.

Some people were dissatisfied and wanted to continue, as they had obtained quite a few cards during this crisis and got hooked.

He then took a look at the school’s Card Master ranking page.

①Qin Jianjia, Bronze 10 stars, 99%.

②Wang Keai, Bronze 9 stars, 83%

③Xu Yourong, Bronze 9 stars, 82%.

④Li Shiyu, Bronze 8 stars, 79%.

⑤Zhao Haifeng, Bronze 8 stars, 77%.

It seemed everyone’s levels were very close. He didn’t expect the Card Master rankings to change so much in just over 10 days.

What was even more unexpected was that Qin Jianjia was on the verge of breaking through, and she would likely reach Silver level soon.

This woman was terrifyingly strong!

Luo Sheng found that his own ranking had already reached around 50th place, and his level was still Bronze 7 stars from when he last checked in at the academy.

Now he was a Bronze 8 star Card Master.

“Let’s go.”

“Wait a moment! I’ll finish this game quickly!” Dongfang Muqing suddenly shouted.

She was frantically typing on the keyboard, swinging the mouse with exceptional skill. You could almost see smoke rising from the desktop. She angrily cursed, “Are you all elementary school kids? Playing like noobs, you’re truly not worthy of being on my team!”

This girl was indeed addicted to online games.

It seems the kid gaming mode needs to be activated in the future.

Luo Sheng looked at her helplessly, “You still have the mood to play games?”

“Let’s go!”

Bai Moxue’s equally cold yet soft hands grabbed her fair neck, pulling her away from the desk and computer.

“No… wuwu~”

Dongfang Muqing watched the game over screen appear on the computer, feeling a bit wronged. Then she looked at Luo Sheng with a clear and melodious voice, “When we get back, you have to summon me first.”

“How rude, if anyone’s being summoned first, it should be me, your big sister, and then it’s your turn.”

Bai Moxue glared at her cutely and pinched her chubby little cheeks, acting like a big sister figure.

So lovable.

Luo Sheng watched the loving scene between the two, and couldn’t help but think of the character “嫐” (meaning to flirt or tease). Enmm… I’m a pure person, this is just a normal sleeping scene for three people, don’t think too much about it.

The two turned into a card and entered Luo Sheng’s card box.

He then left, riding his motorcycle quickly to the academy entrance.

Zhao Haifeng had just arrived at the academy entrance as well. He had his own mount card, which was a metal velociraptor. The titanium metal patterns on it looked particularly cool.

“Your mount is really nice,” Luo Sheng felt a bit envious, such a metal dragon looked very handsome.

Hmm, if Alice were to ride a metal dragon in the future, that scene would be quite beautiful.

“Yours is not bad either, this motorcycle used to be Qin Jianjia’s mount card,” Zhao Haifeng said.

“Huh???”

Luo Sheng was suddenly confused and asked, “How do you know this is her motorcycle?”

Zhao Haifeng then explained further: “A few months ago, shortly after she condensed her spiritual jade, she obtained this mount card. I saw it once at a comparison meeting between wealthy families.”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a while.

He didn’t expect that the motorcycle she had barely warmed up with her bottom was now being warmed up by his own bottom. Hmm… this should count as an indirect butt kiss, right?

Zhao Haifeng patted his shoulder and said with a hint of envy in his voice: “You two really have a good relationship, I’m jealous. I heard that quite a few young masters from wealthy families want to pursue her.”

“What about you?”

“Me?” Zhao Haifeng hesitated for a moment.

But seeing Luo Sheng’s curious gaze, he finally whispered: “Actually, I’m only interested in mature women, especially married ones. Such women know how to take care of people, don’t laugh at me.”

Luo Sheng immediately gave him a thumbs up, “You have the makings of Cao Cao!”

Then he froze.

He couldn’t help but say: “You like other people’s wives, I like other people’s goddesses, we both… have a bright future ahead of us.”

The two looked at each other for a good while, then burst out laughing without saying a word.

“Hehehe…”

The implications were clear without further explanation.

Their friendship suddenly warmed up…

So they headed towards the rather remote black market entrance, which was in a deserted, dilapidated street in the suburbs of Pingcheng.

As they approached, the population gradually thinned out, and they even passed through some areas that had been invaded by the other dimension. The carriage turned quickly, making them dizzy.

“The location of the black market is quite hidden, but basically anyone with a certain level of strength or status would know its exact location,” Zhao Haifeng explained.

When he finished speaking, Luo Sheng recalled what the alliance’s special envoy Yuchi Xueyao had said.

So he asked curiously: “That is, someone will specifically give you a 【Black Mask】?”

Zhao Haifeng nodded: “Yes, actually, although the black market seems like a lawless place, it’s already under the supervision of the Card Alliance. I heard that the black market master is actually an internal member of the Card Alliance.”

“They have quite a wide range of control.”

“That’s because there are too many evil forces infiltrating, which is a threat to the Card Alliance. Therefore, since they can’t eliminate the black market, they might as well join it and make it part of their control, squeezing the survival space of other black markets.”
