Chapter 188: Three God Cards! A Big Show!

Cheng Juan had not used his account for three years.

A pile of messages had accumulated in his mailbox.

Lu Zhaoying originally thought it was only a recent official package. After all, system mail was generally only kept for 60 days.

He didn’t expect Cheng Juan to have a message from three years ago.

“Three years ago? Does the mail not automatically clear every 60 days?” Cheng Mu sat beside Lu Zhaoying and asked curiously.

Lu Zhaoying didn’t find that strange and leaned on Cheng Juan’s desk. “Boss’s account is in the first district, in the international service, which is a closed beta. Hence, it’s different from ours.”

The first district was an international service and had people from various countries inside.

It was said that the first district had hidden dragons and crouching tigers; the big boss hid in the international service and had a bunch of old masters.

However, the first district was no longer open to the outside world, and no account could apply to get in either.

Because there were not many people, only the data was updated.

Whoever had an account in the first district now could show off in front of their friends. They could even specifically log onto an account in the first district and head over to see the big boss’s score in the leaderboard.

Only the arena of Kyushu Tour’s major districts was inter-operable.

Each district had its own ranking, and people from other districts often came over to the first district to worship the international ranking.

“Look at what cards your friend sent you.” Lu Zhaoying thought that this “QR” looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen it.

He simply shook his head.

But he still felt it was a little strange.

The cards on Cheng Juan’s account were almost full and there had not been any new cards issued officially. After all, all cards were in the game transcript, so it was necessary to create your own synthesis if the player wanted an advanced card. Otherwise, they could go to the system to ask for it.

The game transcript had its difficulties; the most advanced transcript did not have advanced cards nor a master leader, so it was extremely difficult to pass.

Thus, there was a special trade union in the game; they would arrange a great master to help the newcomer pass the transcript and get their cards.

Did Master Juan’s friend know that his cards were full?

Cheng Juan stared at the game page and responded casually before accepting the gift cards.

Lu Zhaoying looked over curiously. “Your friend doesn’t know your cards are full…”

Three cards appeared on the stage.

They were enlarged on the screen.

Lined up from left to right.

Each card was surrounded by pale golden light.

The first card was Nüwa. The second was Fuxi. The third was Yao.

Lu Zhaoying choked and his words were stuck in his throat.

Cheng Juan stared at the three God cards motionlessly.

For a moment, Lu Zhaoying thought that his eyes had gone blind. He murmured for a while, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.

The game page remained unchanged, and the three God cards still stood arrogantly on the game page.

1“What the f*ck! Master Juan, what level is your big boss friend?!” Lu Zhaoying pointed at the three God cards with trembling fingers.

Only the creator of the God cards could make it.

Because of the importance of the God cards, OST controlled them very tightly and even the younger trainees might not have it. Other countries could only negotiate with OST for these cards.

Everyone, including Yang Fei’s fans, thought that these cards had been created by Yunguang Consortium.

Yunguang Consortium had very strict control.

So how did Cheng Juan’s friend give him these three God cards?

Lu Zhaoying glanced at the time of the message again. It was sent on July 9th, earlier than when Yang Fei took it out in the finals that made him famous!

This was one of the reasons why he called Cheng Juan’s friend a big boss.

Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes and put his finger gently on the mouse. He clicked to accept the three God cards and then clicked into the leaderboard of the first district.

First place.

QR, Supreme level with 20 stars. Arena points—

111,636.

100% win rate.

Lu Zhaoying fell silent again.

In the upper right corner, a new friend request popped up, but Cheng Juan directly ignored it. He didn’t close the game page and just leaned back with a cigarette in his mouth.

He stayed motionless for a long time.

Upstairs, Qin Ran was still looking at Gu Xichi’s experiment. She pulled over a stool and sat down beside his computer with her fingers holding the armrests.

Qin Ran took the report sheet from Gu Xichi and, after thinking about it, threw it back onto the table. “Cheng Juan is your brother?”

Gu Xichi told her about the International Medical Organization.

“Yeah, I was in the medical organization a few years ago.” This matter was no secret, as things in the medical organization were open and transparent. Gu Xichi pressed the switch of an instrument and observed the situation inside a glass cover. “At that time, he secretly did something earth-shattering. In the end, several doctors in the organization couldn’t stand it anymore and gave him a diploma after half a year. He returned to Beijing regretfully then.”

The glass cover gradually misted up.

Gu Xichi looked away and leaned casually on the table to watch Qin Ran. He squinted his pair of slightly demonic eyes and continued, “We were both brought over by domestic doctors, cough. He did indeed teach us a lot of things then.”

Gu Xichi had always been a little insane, so there were not many people who could convince him to call them respectfully.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes. She could imagine the scenario.

“The experiment report can come out in two days,” Gu Xichi said succinctly. “Once I show it to my tutor in the medical organization, I’ll go over to Yun Cheng directly to see your grandma.”

Gu Xichi and Cheng Juan had joined forces to discover the new type of virus. Once this research report was issued, it would surely generate a lot of news.

However, Gu Xichi, Qin Ran, and the others did not realize this and did not care much either.

Qin Ran was relieved to hear Gu Xichi say that the experiment had reached the last step and the results were coming out soon. She heaved a sigh of relief.

Someone knocked outside the door.

Bang bang bang—

The three knocks on the door sounded irritable.

Qin Ran raised an eyebrow, laughed, and stood up. “Someone is looking for you, I’ll go downstairs first.”

“Ok,” Gu Xichi turned back to his cell experiment and murmured in response.

Not long after.

Jiang Dongye came in with a dark face, his usually warm and beautiful face stained with a dark aura. “Gu Xichi!”

“What’s the matter?” Gu Xichi turned sideways casually, withdrawing his gaze from the instrument and raising an eyebrow lazily. “Don’t act lightly, Xiao Ran already told you that brother is on my side.”

He played with a silver needle in his hand arrogantly.

Jiang Dongye glanced at him, both angry and amused. He couldn’t help touching his neck before dragging a chair over to sit down. “Do not antagonize me. Miss Qin and Master Juan are both here, so what could I possibly do to you?”

“Oh.” Gu Xichi continued playing with the silver needle in his hand. After glancing at Jiang Dongye and determining that he did not seem intent on catching him, Gu Xichi kept his silver needle regretfully.

1Qin Ran had sent Gu Xichi a copy of Jiang Dongye’s information in September.

Some people appeared to study in the medical department in college but secretly participated in the training of special forces.

Gu Xichi knew he would not be his opponent if he didn’t make a vicious move.

Of course, if Jiang Dongye took precautions against him, he might not even have the chance to strike with his silver needle.

“Why did you not go to Beijing?” Jiang Dongye glanced around at Gu Xichi’s laboratory for the first time.

Gu Xichi had so much impressive stuff here.

“Then why do you keep chasing after me?” Gu Xichi reached out for a piece of paper without answering the question directly.

Jiang Dongye said grumpily, “You did come to Beijing when Old Master Cheng invited you, so he instructed me to catch you. If you had agreed, why would so many things happen?”

He had suffered so many heart attacks recently.

Downstairs.

When Qin Ran came down, Lu Zhaoying was asking Cheng Juan if he could play using his account.

She sat on the sofa, took out her mobile phone to read the message Yang Fei had sent her, then asked slowly, “What happened?”

Lu Zhaoying seemed to return to his senses.

“Qin Ran, Master Juan’s friend just sent him three God cards. Three! God! Cards!” Lu Zhaoying begged for a long time, but Cheng Juan still kept quiet.

He walked over to the sofa and picked up the glass of ice water in Xiao Er’s tray before pouring himself a glass.

“His friend must be a great master of OST.” Lu Zhaoying sat down next to Qin Ran and lowered his voice to explain, “That friend played with Master Juan last time and they were a duo. Their relationship was particularly good, but the other party seemed to have disappeared. He suddenly appeared again today.”

The terrifying duo in the first district.

“Oh,” Qin Ran held her phone and replied in a calm voice.

Lu Zhaoying stared at her. Even if she was not curious about Cheng Juan’s friend, why was she still so calm after hearing about the three God cards?

At night.

Gu Xichi was late for dinner.

He was too annoyed by Jiang Dongye.

Jiang Dongye knew it was impossible to kidnap Gu Xichi with Qin Ran and Cheng Juan here, so he used his natural talent and followed him around like a dog.

3“Brother Gu, don’t move!” He took out a piece of tissue to wipe the chair before gesturing with his hand. “Sit, sit.”

Gu Xichi was speechless. He was really a dog!

“Master Juan, what kind of radiation does Qin Ran’s grandma have?” Everyone here except Qin Ran had studied medicine before, and Lu Zhaoying also knew a little about the situation.

Cheng Juan said lightly, “Uranium.”

Lu Zhaoying nodded.

Jiang Dongye picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and glanced at Qin Ran in surprise. “Uranium radiation?”

He had never seen Qin Ran’s grandma before and did not understand Chen Shulan’s illness; he only knew of uranium radiation. Uranium only came from nuclear radiation.

Was he a physicist to be able to study nuclear energy? A scientist?

“I’m not sure.” Lu Zhaoying, Cheng Mu, and Gu Xichi did not understand this either.

Jiang Dongye glanced at Qin Ran. He had heard from Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying that Chen Shulan was just an ordinary person in Ninghai Town…

Ninghai Town…

Jiang Dongye thought of something and his expression suddenly changed.

1But he swallowed his words and did not speak further.

1The others did not notice, but Cheng Juan, who was sitting on the edge, noticed. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at Jiang Dongye.

“Master Juan, see if your friend goes online at night. If he does, pull him along to play with us.” Lu Zhaoying was focused on the three God cards.

Cheng Juan gave Qin Ran a piece of pork ribs and said absentmindedly, “I’m not playing, I have to be at the lab at night.”

But Cheng Juan also paused a little at the mention of QR.

He had never seen the other party before and had never heard his voice either.

The two had matched by chance in the arena. Cheng Juan always played as he pleased. So, when they played for the first time, they had been on opposite sides. But his teammate did not help him, so he just took some low-level cards and played casually. His teammate couldn’t keep up with his rhythm and in the end, they lost to QR after a bloody battle.

That was the first time he lost. He was very arrogant and unconvinced, so he pulled QR to the arena for a battle.

The two of them had a five-to-five win rate.

They played for a whole night and added each other as friends.

They often played as a duo. Although they never turned on the speaker, they seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other.

Later, the other party had asked if he wanted to join Team OST. Cheng Juan had thought about it and actually agreed. He then gave QR his contact number.

But the next day, the other party not only did not add him, but he did not go online in the game either.

In the end, Cheng Juan thought it was boring and never went back to the game.

If it had been a few months earlier and he knew that QR was back, he would definitely have tracked the other party down. But now, it didn’t matter anymore.

After eating, Gu Xichi went upstairs.

Jiang Dongye followed him immediately.

Gu Xichi gritted his teeth. “Do you want to take a bath with me?!”

Jiang Dongye originally wanted to say he could pour water onto him in the bath, but he glanced at the silver needle and took a step back very gentlemanly.

1Cheng Juan was walking around the second floor towards the third floor and stopped when he saw Jiang Dongye.

He glanced at Jiang Dongye and the other party froze.

On the third floor at the end of the corridor.

Cheng Juan held a cigarette in his hand and glanced lightly out the window. “What do you know about her grandma?”

“Just a little.” Jiang Dongye leaned against the window and also took out a cigarette. “Three years ago, there was an explosion in Ninghai Town. You know that too, right?”

“Poison Wolf’s stronghold?” Cheng Juan had gone to Yun Cheng partly because of this.

“No.” Jiang Dongye lit his cigarette with his lighter and watched as the thin smoke rose. “I also accidentally saw a report in the research institute about it. There has been a science base in Ninghai Town for many years.”

Cheng Juan had never been concerned about this. He was used to being in Beijing and it was not that nobody approached him from the research institute, it was just that he always ignored them.

“Three years ago, there was a problem with an experiment at the science base and it exploded for no reason,” Jiang Dongye said and shook his head. “Master Juan, you also discovered some things when you went to Ninghai Town, right? Many people suffered because of that. These are all encrypted data from the research institute, so I don’t know about the researchers. Miss Qin’s grandma might have been affected by the explosion and the leaked raw materials.”

Downstairs.

After Lu Zhaoying finished eating, the more he kept thinking about QR, the more familiar the name sounded. Ouyang Wei asked him to play with her, but he politely declined.

After thinking about it, he went on Yang Fei’s Weibo.

Other than a few forwarded messages from the official website, Yang Fei’s Weibo had very few other posts.

He quickly found a post by Yang Fei—

OSTYangFei: You’re better than me. I hope to be on the same stage as you once, I’ll wait for you. @qr
