mythical card maker

Chapter 20
"Ugh."

A week later, in the bus, Cao Yan leaned weakly on the seat, looking as if her soul had left her body.

"Ayan, you also learn biology?" Zhou Chuan couldn't help teasing.

"What and what?" Cao Yan shook her head vigorously, suddenly realized something, and said suspiciously, "Hey, why did you say 'also'?"

"I have a friend named Gao Chun, he always likes to tell me these things." Zhou Chuan explained.

"Hey, Achuan, you must stay away from this kind of people in the future, and you can't learn from them!" Cao Yan said seriously.

"Yes Yes."

Zhou Chuan nodded one after another, and at the same time gave Gao Chun, who was looking back at him with a "resentful face" in the front row, a look of "don't hide it, you are this kind of person".

At this moment, Cao Yan said a little madly: "Hey, Sister Bing wants me to get a ranking. Obviously, I was lucky to pass the preliminaries..."

"Do your best, there is a good saying, but do good deeds, don't worry about the future..." Zhou Chuan knocked on the armrest of the chair, and added: "Maybe there is another piece of shit waiting for you to step on."

After a while of silence, Cao Yan said: "A Chuan, is your nickname "Pangolin"? Has anyone ever told you that the chicken soup you boil is really poisonous!"

"Just to tell you a joke, let you try to relax and don't worry too much."

"After you said that, I was even more worried."

"Forehead……"

Just as Zhou Chuan was speaking, the radio in the bus suddenly rang: "Ding dong! Ice City has arrived!"

The team leader also got up at this time, slapped his hands and greeted: "Everyone, take your belongings and get off the bus! Let's rest at the hotel today and go to the competition venue tomorrow afternoon!"

"understood."

There were a few sparse responses, and everyone got up and walked towards the slowly opened car door.

Zhou Chuan also woke up Yu Porridge, who was shaking his head from sleepiness, and walked out with his coat in his hands. He looked at the three big characters "Bingcheng Station" written on the top of the building from a distance.

"What are you looking at?"

Cao Yan patted Zhou Chuan on the shoulder and walked over from behind.

"Nothing, let's go."

After Zhou Chuan finished speaking, he followed the team with Cao Yan and Yu Congee.

Fortunately, the hotel booked in advance in the city was not far from here. They didn't walk for long before a rather imposing building came into view.

After getting the room cards one by one, everyone went back to the room, and Zhou Chuan happened to be in the same room as Gao Chun.

"How are the preparations for the semi-finals?" Gao Chun handed the dinner plate to Zhou Chuan and asked.

"At any rate, the idea of ​​skill cards and weapon cards is defined..." Zhou Chuan opened the thick curtains, the sun poured in, and a little dust appeared in the air: "What about you?"

"I have an idea, but I'm not sure." Gao Chun stepped forward to open the window, and sighed softly: "It's very lucky that I was able to successfully forge two blue spirit cards. I'm probably going to die in this battle."

"Relax, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

Zhou Chuan made another wave of chicken soup, then sat down cross-legged, and began to gather energy.

After Gao Chun chuckled, he also began to practice not to be outdone.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually dimmed and the wind became a little bit cooler. Zhou Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and confirmed that there was indeed a series of footsteps circling back and forth outside the door.

After turning his mind, he quickly got up without waking Gao Chun, just opened the door and walked out, facing a sturdy middle-aged man.

"Student Zhou Chuan, right? Please come with us, our Patriarch has something important to discuss with you."

Different from his rough appearance, this man speaks very kindly.

But Zhou Chuan did not take it lightly because of this, he secretly held [Heiwuchang] behind his palm, and then asked, "Which family do you come from?"

The big man blurted out the word "Zhao", and Zhou Chuan nodded clearly, signaling him to lead the way ahead, while he silently followed after contacting He Lengfeng and the team leader.

Following the elevator, the two went up to the top floor.

Unlike the rooms and corridors below, the entire top of the hotel is a bright and splendid hall.

There are simple and elegant sandalwood all over here, and the bear-shaped statue standing in the center is shining like a fire in the setting sun.

"Student Zhou Chuan, please go this way."

The man raised his arm slightly, signaling Zhou Chuan to go in that direction, and then stood still beside the elevator, expressing that he would not send him off again.

Seeing this, Zhou Chuan nodded to express his understanding. After walking for a long time in this hall, he finally found the person who wanted to see him at a corner where the bookshelves were staggered and the sun was shining through.

This is a woman wearing a cheongsam. Although her figure is well maintained, through certain details, such as the shallow crow's feet around the corners of her eyes that are not covered up with makeup, it can be seen that her real age should not be older than Zhou Chuan's. parents are small.

"Hello."

Out of respect for the elders, Zhou Chuan greeted them first, then sat aside and looked at each other carefully.

"It's really not easy to meet Zhou Chuan."

The woman smiled and said, "There's no way. Who told President Fu to protect you like a treasure? I have to talk about it so that I can see Zhou's 'respect' today."

Zhou Chuan didn't reply, and asked directly, "I don't know who you are?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the patriarch of the Zhao Family in Long Province and Zhao Xuanhua, the chairman of the Zhao Group."

The beautiful woman introduced herself very elegantly, and then said softly: "This time, I invite Classmate Zhou to come over, mainly to discuss cooperation matters."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, cooperation." Zhao Xuanhua took a look at Zhou Chuan and said: "Our Zhao family will support some young card makers in the local area with materials and medicines every year. We give back."

"Either work for us for a period of time, or feedback some valuable materials, of course, you can also make some cards and send them..."

"After all, it's nothing more than four words: win-win cooperation."

Seeing Zhou Chuan's thoughtful face, Zhao Xuanhua continued: "I have heard that Zhou Chuan is very good at making ghost cards. He once created two purple-quality spirit cards in a short period of time. It can be said that he is very talented. Talented."

"Coincidentally, my Zhao family also has quite a lot of accumulation in Ghost Dao. I dare not say anything else. As far as the reserves of relevant materials are concerned, there may not be a family in the entire northern part of Kyushu that is richer than us."

"Student Zhou Chuan wants to go further, and it is a good choice to cooperate with us."

After contemplating for a while, Zhou Chuan replied: "After all, this is not a trivial matter. Please, Mr. Zhao, give this junior some more time to think about it. It just so happens that the rematch is approaching. You may wish to see my next performance before making a judgment."

Seeing Zhou Chuan practicing Tai Chi so skillfully, Zhao Xuanhua couldn't help showing an inexplicable smile, and said, "Okay."
