Jiangcheng Executive Bureau.
Special department, 'Shadow'.
This is nominally a special department, but in reality, the internal environment is not much different from that of an ordinary office.
But it refers to the size and decoration, but in fact, there is an extremely conspicuous feature.
It's more homely here...
That’s right, home.
It was clearly an office. One could see a desk and an office chair, as well as some messy office documents on the desk.
But what is even more messy is the various snack bags and empty beverage bottles that "fill" the sight.
Then there are some miscellaneous electronic products and audio-visual equipment.
It seems like the office workers here really treat this place as their own home. They have no scruples at all and not only do they mess around, but they also don't bother to clean up!
At this moment, the only person in the office was a young man with dyed blond hair, a short shirt, shorts, casual clothes, and a leisurely demeanor. He was curled up on a leather single sofa.
He was yawning, as if he was sleepy from having nothing to do.
He was holding a tablet in his hand, swiping it from time to time while browsing the forum.
If Lin You were present, he would definitely be shocked.
The unkempt young man on the sofa, who had a vague otaku-like demeanor, was none other than Huang Junwei, the young man who had rushed to Jianghua High School because of the Dark Duelist raid, but had already achieved the title of "Master".
Such a master duelist is now in such a state. How can we not be surprised?
While browsing the forum, Huang Junwei reached out and felt around, but didn't seem to find what he wanted. He glanced over and saw that it was a large bag of potato chips.
Shaking the bag and feeling the weight of 'nothing', Huang Junwei felt a bit of a headache.
He took out a tissue from the paper box on the coffee table, wiped it twice casually, and threw it aside.
It did hit the 'thin' trash can accurately, but it was really overloaded with its 'body'. The paper towel fell on the overflowing snack bags and bounced away lightly.
"Hey, Master, I'm in trouble again."
Huang Junwei sighed lightly and planned to go out for some snacks later. As for ordering takeout?
You can't get into this place.
It would be nice to have someone willing to run errands, but unfortunately, he was being closely watched by an old man named Fang.
If he really asks someone for help, even if that person is willing to run errands for him, as long as he hears about it, he will still think that he is bullying others without any explanation and will inevitably scold him.
Anyway, you'll just be scolded, not beaten.
Huang Junwei had never had such an idea before.
Just because the old man has a mouth that talks endlessly and can't be stopped, it would be more satisfying to get beaten.
I had just made the plan to buy snacks, so I didn’t go out immediately, but continued to browse the posts.
The forum he was browsing was the largest duel forum in China - Duel Kingdom!
It's quite consistent with his identity as a 'master duelist'.
But the section he was looking at was not the high-end competition section, but the 'newcomer section'.
The popularity of the newcomer section is not even on the same level as that of the competition section.
It's hard to make much of a splash.
But if you really come across any interesting posts, given the size of this forum, the discussion level will still be high.
In such a section, if the posts want to be interesting and eye-catching, they naturally have to be linked to some talented newcomers.
Therefore, in this section, there are a lot of news about the rookie kings of various schools and regions, and some even form "resumes". Such posts are relatively more likely to become popular.
Flipping through the posts one by one, Huang Junwei also saw a lot of "topic posts" about powerful newcomers, but he still lacked interest.
My thoughts were increasingly drifting towards snacks.
Just as he was about to go out, his hand stopped scrolling, his eyes fixed on a post, and he became interested.
The title of the post is very eye-catching.
"Unprecedented in the past decade? Watch the utterly outrageous duel between the 'super demon' from Jiangcheng University, a top-tier national university, and the astonishing skills of everyone!"
The title is very long and extremely exaggerated.
In order to increase the popularity of one's own posts, exaggerating the title is a very common way of dealing with it.
But in a 'giant forum' like Duel Kingdom, there is a hard and fast rule.
That is, it is okay to exaggerate the title of a post, but the degree of exaggeration must be within the permitted range, at least not completely divorced from reality!
For example, it’s okay to call someone a “little genius” a “big genius”, but to say he is a “super genius” is far from reality and will easily lead to being reported and subsequently having his account banned.
And once the ban is imposed, it will start from two months.
It is difficult to change the account and post again. After all, in order to log in to the Duel Kingdom Forum, you have to actually bind multiple pieces of your own information to complete the verification.
Therefore, even if such a title is not true, ignoring the exaggeration, it is still shocking enough.
The premise is that the poster is not seeking death and getting banned. Although he dared to use such a title, most of the time he was willing to pay the price of "ban" in exchange for a sense of existence, but Huang Junwei still clicked on it.
It doesn't hurt to take a look.
But when I went in and looked for a while, I saw a picture and my eyes were stunned.
The general content of the picture is the 'protagonist' mentioned in this post and a mighty monster.
What Huang Junwei cared about first was not the monster, but the 'protagonist'.
Although the snapshot is not very clear, it looks quite familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
I immediately took a look at the text of the post and immediately confirmed one thing.
The 'protagonist' is named Lin You.
"Lin You..."
Huang Junwei muttered to himself, and soon his eyes moved slightly, "It's that kid."
He remembered.
Lin You was the genius student who had met him once before at Jianghua High School and had mysteriously escaped from the "Dark Game".
At that time, he had sensed an extremely powerful soul aura there, which made him think of Lin You, and he even thought of accepting him as his disciple.
However, in the subsequent inspection, it was discovered that the soul breath did not come from Lin You's Origin Card, and no trace of "spiritual power" could be captured on Lin You. In addition, when the other party mentioned the embarrassing "disciple-accepting gift", he could only laugh it off and deal with it perfunctorily.
But the soul breath that appeared at that time remains a mystery to this day.
And today, seeing this name again, and with such a title, Huang Junwei couldn't help but completely arouse his interest.
Browse it carefully.
This post also mentioned Lin You's "resume" and talked about the "Bird City Graduation Cup", introducing him as someone who had not yet enrolled in Duel High School. He had once amazed the audience with his Black Star Monster in the competition.
"It's okay, it's a bit like a master now."
In response to this, Huang Junwei simply crossed his legs and made a light-hearted comment.
But when he looked back for a while, his eyes suddenly changed.
"Half a month into school, and a fusion monster?"
Huang Junwei was stunned. "This guy...there's something wrong with him!"
He seemed to have been greatly shocked, but it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There seemed to be some deeper reason.
"Oh shit, something bad has happened!"
In vain, like a wild cat with its fur standing on end, Huang Junwei jumped up from the sofa, unable to sit still at all.
"Fuck, Jiangcheng High School, that old guy seems to be a psychic master?"
Thinking of this, Huang Junwei could no longer sit still. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he walked back and forth in the messy office, grinning from time to time.
If possible, he would like to rush into Jiangcheng High School right now!
But no fucking way!
"No, no, we have to find a way to contact the old man above."
After struggling for a long time, Huang Junwei made a decision in his heart.
Damn it!
Damn it, how could I have been so mistaken at that time!
There is no reason!
I felt annoyed and irritated, and my heart was constantly roaring.
…
There was a duel master going crazy for him, but Lin You, who was in class, had no idea.
Although yesterday's challenge made him famous throughout the university, it did not affect his training and learning at all.
In other words, the level of attention is increasing rapidly, and there are many more fans.
Nothing special, very normal.
There were quite a few in the past!
If you really want to hinder your own progress because of such a trivial matter, then your willpower is too weak.
…
At this moment, he was methodically injecting spiritual power into the experimental cards. Although the time he had been in contact with the psychic was not long, the speed of his progress was clearly visible to the naked eye.
Look, after a long period of spiritual power transmission, the experimental card has begun to faintly emit a faint blue glow.
Sensing the appearance of the faint blue light, Heiyuan in a corner of the laboratory suddenly put down his coffee cup, stood up, and walked over quietly.
Lin You, who was still maintaining the infusion of spiritual energy, was sweating profusely, but he was still fully focused.
At hand, the output of spiritual power suddenly accelerated.
Mistakes are not caused by panic, but are the rules summarized after previous failures.
The sudden appearance of the faint blue light means the possibility of the appearance of spiritual patterns!
This phenomenon is not the first time.
Before, seeing that there was hope of success, Lin You did not rush for quick success, but still tried his best to maintain his balance.
But this kind of balance always fails in the end.
Lin You once thought that he had not done well enough and there were still loopholes in the control range.
But after several failures, he vaguely realized another possibility.
Perhaps maintaining a balance is not always the right answer!
Maybe at this time, we should seek quick success and instant benefits!
This thought drove Lin You to suddenly speed up the injection of spiritual power at this moment.
Inject and inject again!
Under the violent infusion of spiritual power, one can see that the dark blue light on the card has violently fluctuated.
Faced with such a sudden change, Lin You's expression remained unchanged and his mood was not shaken at all.
Not only that, it also further accelerated the infusion of spiritual power, and the faint blue light on the card fluctuated even more violently.
It looks like it may collapse and burst at any time.
But the strange thing is that it seems to be about to collapse, but in ten seconds, fifteen seconds, half a minute, one minute...
As time went by, the shaking became more and more intense, but it did not collapse or disintegrate.
Instead, it expanded more and more, and finally expanded into a "sphere".
At this moment, all fluctuations suddenly stopped.
The blue light became extremely strong, and then began to gradually dim.
Its size also changes gradually, and the light is shrinking.
The dimmer the light, the greater the contraction.
In the end, the dark blue light seemed to have shed a layer of dazzling skin, and faded most of it, but it turned into a large slash, firmly engraved on the experimental card!
Seeing this scene, Lin You's heart moved, and then he heard a burst of applause in his ears.
Hearing this voice, he couldn't help but look sideways, suppressing his surprise and saying uncertainly: "Teacher, this is..."
"Yes, it is indeed a half-way spiritual pattern, and the quality is higher than the standard I set."
Before he could finish, Hei Yuan gave an affirmative answer.
Lin You's face suddenly showed joy.
Is it really successful?
It feels a little unreal.
Looking at the experimental card on which he had outlined most of the spiritual patterns, Lin You suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
Is this the charm of being a psychic?
“…”
Heiyuan didn't say anything. Damn, he also felt that it was a little unreal.
Although Lin You's rapid progress has always been clearly visible, it is still hard not to feel a little shocked when he completed the task so quickly.
How long has it been?
The assessment island ended on the 20th, and he was accepted as a disciple shortly after that. Yesterday's challenge day was the 27th.
If you really count it, it took this kid about a week from the time he came into contact with the profession of psychic to the time he successfully outlined half, no, most of the spiritual patterns on the experimental cards?
Is this a human?
Hei Yuan still remembers it clearly. He was a newbie at that time, but it took him nearly two months to barely complete the task.
Even though there is a big gap in "spiritual talent" between the two, well, it's a bit heartbreaking to say this.
Silently cutting off the rest of the text, Heiyuan began to think in another direction.
Look carefully, look carefully.
This is my student!
Isn’t it awesome?
No matter how awesome he is, he is still my son!
…
Take several deep breaths in a row.
Heiyuan calmed down. This time he absorbed the emotions quite quickly.
He couldn't help but be unhappy. This kid always brought him 'surprises'. His psychological endurance was not up to par, and sooner or later he would be provoked to meet the King of Hell.
Just this morning, I received news that Lin You had defeated a senior ranked 170th in yesterday's challenge day, and even used the fusion monster "Super Black Star".
This incident caused quite a stir on campus, and many people were discussing how Lin You managed to do all this.
After all, some people discovered that his magic power was not very high when he entered school.
Not only is it not high, it is actually at the bottom level.
To say that his magic power has made such a rapid progress in just half a month, even if he has a physique that is naturally suitable for magic, it is impossible for him to achieve this.
Summoning a super black star monster requires a full 400 points of magic power, which is not enough even if you say it to the sky!
If all this had not happened in public on the day of the challenge, no one would have believed it.
Because it caused quite a stir and aroused the curiosity of so many people, there must be some capable students who have begun to dig deeper into this matter.
It would be a lie to say that Lin You doesn't care about these things at all, which is why he had thought of a response in advance.
But this argument also has an obvious problem, which is that it cannot circumvent the source of the black.
Others may not understand the psychic, but Heiyuan is very familiar with him.
If he wanted to delve deeper, he might be able to see something from Lin You's cards.
Lin You had also thought about this and decided that even if someone really saw something, he would just accept it.
Of course, it is not "recognition" in the true sense, but recognition of opportunity.
What kind of opportunity is it?
The fluctuations in the secret realm are a great target for scapegoating.
Don't forget that Lin You was once caught up in the fluctuations of the secret realm and was attacked by monsters in the secret realm.
This is all verifiable information.
If we talk about the most wonderful, mysterious and unknown place in the world, it is undoubtedly the secret realm!
There are clear precedents of gaining inheritance and discovering mysterious treasures in secret realms.
Even if Lin You was not drawn into the secret realm at that time, but encountered a secret realm monster, the strange events caused by the mutation of the secret realm monster would still exist!
No matter what, as long as Lin You locks on the "target of blaming", others will be unable to do anything to him even if they don't believe him.
As for the so-called "special measures" for special cases, that's nonsense. It's simply because you've watched too many movies.
There are many exceptions in this world, including some strong ones.
If everyone was given 'special measures', wouldn't the situation be chaotic?
Such a genius, I'm afraid it's too late to get attention!
Therefore, whether in character or actions, Lin You never hesitates to show more of himself, that is his capital!
Of course, being too conspicuous and too mysterious will eventually cause some troubles at present. It is naturally a good thing if someone is willing to "take the blame".
At this moment, having successfully completed the first task given by Heiyuan, Lin You also planned to take the initiative to talk to him about this matter.
If you keep hiding things, you will appear guilty.
Besides, since you want Heiyuan to help "take the blame", informing the other party about this matter is the most basic moral character.
"Teacher, there is something I want to talk to you about."
Lin You did not hesitate. After the initial excitement wore off, he planned to speak up and explain.
"There's no need to tell me this."
Unexpectedly, Hei Yuan only smiled faintly and said, "Since you are the disciple I have set my sights on, it is my responsibility as a master to protect you from the storm."
"It's just a few small things, no need to worry about it."
Heiyuan's tone was flat, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
Lin You was slightly stunned, a little surprised and a little touched.
But soon, he also smiled and said: "Thank you, Master, you are awesome!"
It was just a compliment, but it came from the heart.
Heiyuan just smiled faintly, but he was itching in his heart.
Damn, what’s going on with this kid?
Is this to apply the middle star spirit pattern to the 'fusion' or the 'fusion material'?
The middle star spiritual pattern means there are at least four spiritual patterns!
The consumption is greatly reduced, which meets the conditions for activation!
As a master of psychic communication, Heiyuan immediately saw the crux of the problem.
Although the middle star spirit pattern can greatly reduce the magic power consumed by the card, it requires a certain level of duelist to be able to use it!
To be exact, the glory level!
Such a requirement can be said to have immediately cut off the qualifications of most duelists.
But Lin You is different.
His starting spiritual power was an exaggerated 299 points, and his soul strength was much stronger than that of ordinary duelists.
With his soul strength, he is able to use cards of that level.
But the question is, where did this guy get the cards?
Adding star spirit patterns to the cards is quite a big deal!
Could it be that this kid had already come into contact with a psychic before meeting me?
To be able to outline the Zhongxing Spirit Pattern just like that, one must be at least an expert, right?
Who is it?
Heiyuan looked normal, but he was a little crazy inside.
Lin You was still thinking about this matter until the get out of class was over and he left.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Lin You received an unexpected message.
The person who sent this message was the ice beauty in the second grade, Hua Peiling.
