Chapter 83: Master Is Very Attractive
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Qing Ming City.
At the shop.
Lu Ming suddenly felt cold.
The thread…
A thread could be seen at a place that should be full of mystery and out of bounds. The thread was not coming from her clothes but from her skin!
This was… a suture?
Did the young lady undergo surgery recently?
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
Oh.
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming looked at the surveillance camera. The young lady bought the Leviathan Card from him.
The transaction was completed. Two thousand yuan.
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiaopang seemed to have told him several times that he had lost two thousand yuan for no apparent reason and he still had no idea where it went…
Oh.
c.r.a.p!
Lu Ming felt the chills at his back.
Could it be that…
This young lady was Xin-er?!
At this very moment…
A familiar figure came in through the door.
She walked leisurely into the s.h.i.+p, the entire shop seemed to turn silent. Lu Ming's eyes fell on the hemline of her skirt automatically. There was a mysterious dangling object there.
The thread…
It was indeed there.
Lu Ming suddenly felt cold.
Very cold.
"h.e.l.lo, do you want to buy a card?"
Lu Ming made himself calm down.
The young lady nodded.
Like usual, she did not speak a word at all.
Perhaps…
She could not speak at all.
"Leviathan Card?"
Lu Ming completed her sentence for her.
The young lady nodded.
"Okay."
Lu Ming pa.s.sed the Leviathan Card to her.
The lady gave him two thousand yuan and left.
Lu Ming broke out in a cold sweat.
Left…
Gone?
The lady…
Lu Ming suddenly remembered that people used to say that vicious beasts and monsters could easily form in places with high concentrations of energy. This was very normal.
Oh, that was right. The mine cave was the same as well.
Lu Ming tried to calm down…
How could he possibly calm down?!
There was no way that he could be collected.
This was a doll!
A doll that could move around by itself!
Oh, doll, you have grown up. You are a mature doll. You must learn to inflate yourself, you must learn how to wash yourself…?!
This was crazy!
Lu Ming lamented listlessly.
Xin-er…
Wait a minute.
"Oh, right."
Lu Ming hurriedly called Zhang Xiaopang. "Xiaopang, how much money do you have left?"
"Huh?"
"Brother Lu, do you want to borrow money?"
"I still have money with me."
Zhang Xiaopang seemed excited and he checked his accounts before he yelled loudly. "I lost another two thousand yuan again. d.a.m.n!"
"Those were my last two thousand yuan!"
"My brothels~!"
Lu Ming hung up the phone silently.
He had confirmed his doubts.
It was indeed Xin-er!
That was scary. Xin-er came out of the house by herself!
However…
How did Xin-er manage to hide it from Zhang Xiaopang? How did she manage to move by herself? Zhang Xiaopang did not seem to know anything about this. Would he be sucked dry of his money?!
Lu Ming had no wish to know the answer!
Energy…
Nouris.h.i.+ng…
To h.e.l.l with nouris.h.i.+ng!
It was still alright if there were monsters in the cave, but how was Xin-er produced?
Xiaopang's essence and blood?
That was shocking!
Or perhaps…
She had been through something else with Xiaopang?
Lu Ming thought about it. Given the guy's erratic behavior, it was possible! Or perhaps Xin-er was indeed formed in a heavenly abode!
He had no idea at all!
However…
The lady…
Lu Ming was deep in thoughts.
The shock that he had felt just now vanished.
As a normal person and for someone who had experienced a past life, it was normal to react in shock to such things. But now that he thought about it if he considered her as a spirit body that was being nourished…
It seemed to be normal.
The young lady did not have a high level of spirit energy. Perhaps it was because the body that it chose was an inflatable doll?
Well…
She did not have a bad personality.
At the very least, she did not steal or rob and she used money to make her purchases!
Oh.
It could not count that she took the money from Xiaopang.
Lu Ming deliberately searched the internet. In this special era, there would usually be some places where spirit bodies were produced. Therefore, it was not strange that there were spirit bodies.
Some baller would even have a spirit body who grew up with them by their sides.
For example, sword spirit.
For example, turtle spirit.
Well…
Lu Ming was puzzled. It was understandable that there were sword spirits. But what was the use of a turtle spirit?
Make you a cuckold?
Or to prepare oriental herbal jelly?
Although it might be normal for spirit bodies to exist, it was abnormal for it to come alive in a doll.
He just felt that…
It was odd.
"Xiaopang, have you reared a 'Leviathan Card' before?"
Lu Ming made a call all of a sudden to ask.
"No."
Zhang Xiaopang answered without any hesitation.
He was the one who created Leviathan Card and he knew every trick and the entire process. That left him with no desire to rear a card!
He was the one who added corpse Leviathan and fire Leviathan!
He preferred Fish Leap Card + Charging Card!
"However…"
Zhang Xiaopang paused briefly. "That day when I was in danger, I found someone's Leviathan Card in the corner of the school bag and I used it!"
Let me tell you, the effect is really powerful!"
"I wondered who charged it with energy. It was very powerful and it saved my life."
"After I returned, I asked around but no one knew about this card!"
Zhang Xiaopang felt very vexed as well.
No one admitted to losing a Leviathan Card.
In the end…
Zhang Xiaopang could only take it that someone liked him and put a "Leviathan Card" inside his bag secretly for him. It was considered normal in one's days in school.
Of course.
To Zhang Xiaopang, this was the first time.
Who could it be?
Could it be the 'peasant' cla.s.smate from the second row or the 'Takes.h.i.+ G.o.da' cla.s.smate from the third row?
"So, that was what happened."
Lu Ming understood now.
That was why Xin-er was here to buy the card.
The young lady seemed to be one of those normal spirit bodies.
He thought for a few seconds.
He decided not to tell Zhang Xiaopang.
Since the two of them got along well with each other, there was no need for him to add trouble to them. If Xin-er really wanted to harm Zhang Xiaopang, he would have been dead by now!
"This world is truly magical."
Lu Ming was full of emotions.
"Yes."
Xiaobai smiled. "That's why I said that Master is very attractive~"
Lu Ming was speechless.
→_→
So it turned out that this was what she meant then.
He thought that Xiaobai was praising him for being handsome and attracting young girls!
However…
Xiaobai had good observation skills!
She took note of such a small detail and noticed the thread at the hemline of her skirt!
"Xiaobai."
Lu Ming stroked her head. "In the future, don't stare at the hemline of the skirt of other young ladies. It is very rude… it would be very terrifying if the person took out something scary."
"Oh."
Xiaobai seemed to have understood a little.
"Good, you are very well-behaved."
Lu Ming felt gratified.
The shop resumed its silence again.
Lu Ming was still reading up on knowledge regarding restrictions.
Although he had a very powerful Decryption Card, there was a lot to learn in restriction. Perhaps there were some special restrictions that he had to learn.
For example—
The restriction right in front of him.
Lu Ming flipped open the textbook.
Brambles Restriction—it had a strong counterattack ability!
If one tried to use force to crack the restriction, the Brambles Restriction would counterattack the casters by force, resulting in terrible damage! One might not even know what caused one's death!
Oh, and this…
Self-detonation Restriction—it would self-detonate if one failed to crack it thrice!
Lu Ming was speechless.
There was something that he had to say.
There were all types of restrictions!
He did not really need to crack these restrictions, but at the very least, when he encountered these restrictions, he must be able to recognize them. That would be good enough.
"Types…"
"Methods…"
Lu Ming scanned through the reading materials and the information. He had finally reached the second stage of restriction—Card Restriction!
Yes.
The first stage was the restriction itself!
That included the algorithms, way to cast it, steer clear of it, and ways to crack it. All these restrictions did not have any relations.h.i.+p with the card itself. It was just a simple restriction!
The card was merely a carrier.
The so-called restriction lines were so that it would be more convenient for Card Creators to learn and pick up.
As for the second stage, it was the integration of restrictions and cards!
Over here…
It simply meant some special restrictions had to be cast through cards.
These restrictions could become special Card Restrictions through the combination of energy (restriction techniques) and physical form (cards) !
This was the real vocation-related decryption!
"What's the difference?"
Lu Ming was curious.
He was still a novice in restrictions.
He clicked on some information.
Unlike traditional restrictions, this kind of special restriction would be surrounded by a restriction's halo, and the card would be in the center.
If one touched the restriction, the card would glow radiantly.
The lights and shadows were beautiful. It was like the sparkling ripples in the lake. It would ripple and dissolve all the energy slowly, before it returned to its state of calm.
This…
This was a real Card Restriction!
"Card Restriction…"
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
He was back to what he was best at.
Creation of cards!
He especially bought a set of the simplest Restriction Cards for research.
Well…
He could not figure them out.
If he could not decrypt them…
Lu Ming tried once. If he failed at cracking it, the card would be destroyed and the restriction would become a dead restriction as it lacked one of the modules!
He could only crack it by force!
It was harder than he imagined.
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
Restrictions, he had some knowledge of them.
Cards, he had some knowledge of them.
However, when the two of them were put together, he could not understand at all!
How-to guides…
There weren't any guides on the Internet!
He did not understand the reason behind this. Perhaps since the group that was into cracking Card Restrictions was too small, therefore he could not find any related threads on the Internet!
There were too few resources!
Lu Ming had nothing to study with!
"This is troublesome."
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
He prided himself as someone who could study independently.
If he wanted to create a game…
He would learn all kinds of programming languages by himself. It was not considered difficult to create a game.
If he wanted to learn PS?
He would buy the books and look at the tutorials!
Therefore, under normal circ.u.mstances, as long as the task could be completed by himself, he would never trouble others. Creation of cards was similar to programming and he mastered it by himself.
But right now…
There weren't any teaching materials or tutorials!!!
How was he supposed to learn it?
Lu Ming did a search on the internet, typing in several keywords.
Swoos.h.!.+
Some advertis.e.m.e.nts popped up.
"Learn to crack, new Western method!"
"Card cracking, we are the most professional of all!"
"Soaring Green College, the cradle of card cracking!"
Lu Ming was speechless.
This was not how one was supposed to use quotation marks!
