Card Maker: My Cards Have Unlimited Chains

Chapter 122 Testing the information and admitting to the treatment bureau

Yujiang is close to Yedu, one of the twelve cities of Yan Kingdom, and is a city in the northwest of Yan Kingdom.

It was Yu Cang's first time to come to the border of Yan Kingdom, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, but after being reminded by Wanquan, he realized that this place was actually still within the scope of Yedu, and the real Jade Border could only be reached by walking further forward.

So Yu Cang and others got on the military vehicle of the Second Company. After driving through a vast desert, a black horizon suddenly became clear in the yellow sand... No, that was not a horizon, that was a tower standing in the wilderness. The high wall!

The Great Wall of Tianjiang!

This world is surrounded by wild beasts. If humans want to gain a foothold in it, they must have the means to resist the wild beasts.

There are not many countries on Blue Star, but each one has its own unique skills. Just like Haiting, the entire country is built in a super large ocean whirlpool called "Tianba Yuanliu". Even mythical beasts can't force their way in.

In this world, other countries mostly rely on external forces to resist the wild beasts, either the power of nature or the power of spiritual beasts. Some countries have not fully understood what they are relying on until now, but only the Yan Kingdom, It relies on this man-made thing that stretches thousands of miles - the Tianjiang Great Wall.

Since Emperor Zulong, every myth has come to Tianjiang Great Wall to repair and fill the gaps, which is why this miracle still stands until now.

Yujiang is a city that relies on the Tianjiang Great Wall.

Arriving at the entrance to the inner side of Yujiang City, Yu Cang looked up at Yujiang's city wall through the car window. It was dozens of meters high, and this was only the inner side. The real Tianjiang Great Wall would only be more majestic than this.

Even Lin Yunqing couldn't help but show a curious look when he looked around.

Entering Yujiang City, the buildings here are not high, but they have sharp edges and corners, and there is a lot of open space left. It seems that they should be used for drills. Looking far away, one can see a high wall spreading out in the distance, extending infinitely to both sides of the line of sight.

The military vehicle did not stop and drove through several streets before arriving at their stronghold in Yujiang City these days.

It can be seen that the stronghold has been cleaned, the facilities inside are all available, and they are all clean and ready for immediate check-in.

"Captain Wan." Yu Cang found Wan Quan, "Can we go out for a walk?"

"Of course." Wanquan nodded, "Yujiang is a kind of city that is open to the outside world. You can visit most places here, and if you submit an application in advance, you can even climb the Tianjiang Great Wall from here to see the scenery. "

"Is it okay?" Yu Cang's eyes lit up.

"Well, yes...if you are interested, I can take you up to the city wall to see it another day. To be honest, the scenery is really good."

"Thank you very much!" Yu Cang chuckled.

……

After leaving Wanquan, Yu Cang called Lin Yunqing and walked out of the stronghold with Qi'er.

"This is for you." Lin Yunqing handed over a small bottle.

"Is this...?" Yu Cang blinked.

"Sunscreen." Lin Yunqing had already put on sunglasses and a mask. "The wind and sand in Yujiang are strong, and the sun is also very strong. This is a necessary protective measure... However, didn't the senior make any preparations in advance before coming to Yujiang?"

"Uh..." Yu Cang chuckled.

He really wasn't prepared.

After glancing at the chessmen who were looking around curiously, Yu Cang pondered for a moment.

When Lin Yunqing mentioned it, he was indeed a little negligent. He was fine, but Qi'er didn't know if he could bear it.

Fortunately, there are some daily necessities stores here in Yujiang, so Yu Cang randomly found one and walked in with his chess piece. When he came out, the girl had already changed her clothes.

She put on a pair of sunglasses and stood in front of the mirror. She seemed to realize that she was very handsome now. She stepped on a small stone, put her hands on her hips, and made a tugging expression.

Yu Cang silently opened the terminal, took a photo of Qi'er, and then said: "Okay Qi'er, put on your mask and don't get choked by the wind and sand."

"I know, brother."

Yu Cang took the girl's hand and was about to start visiting, when a voice came from behind.

"Yu Cang? Is it you?"

Yu Cang raised his brows, then slowly turned around.

Behind him, two people were standing. They looked young, probably just students.

"It's you..." Yu Cang took off his sunglasses and revealed a distant smile, "...Wen Yang."

"Long time no see, Yu Cang." Wen Yang said with a smile, "Why, you don't call me senior brother now?"

"I have been kicked out of the laboratory, so let's forget about this relationship." Yu Cang looked into Wen Yang's eyes, "You are here too, so... your project is finally completed?"

"Yeah, it's not easy." Wen Yang sighed a little, "I have been following this military reform since I entered school, and now I am already a researcher... What about you, Yu Cang, why are you here?"

Yu Cang's face finally showed a sincere smile.

It seems, good luck.

The first time I attended it, I met you...

Wen Yang was a student taught by his former teacher Wu Chutai in the imperial capital. The main project he was involved in was preparing for a major overhaul of armaments.

Of course, the person in charge of this project is Wu Chutai himself, and Wen Yang is just a helper. But for a student, being able to participate in a project of this level is already amazing.

Thinking like this, Yu Cang said: "Of course it is also for the sake of major military reforms."

"Oh?" Wen Yang's eyes lit up, "It seems that you are doing well after returning to the ancient capital... The ancient capital came to participate in the major armament reform, and it even brought you with it."

"Yeah, you're lucky." Yu Cang smiled softly.

Wen Yang suddenly came closer and whispered: "Hey, what project did you come to the ancient capital with this time? Can you reveal it?"

"Sorry, no."

"Hey, classmates, let's exchange news... I can tell you that our result this time is a breakthrough in the healing ability of light attributes and continuous combat... How about it, I think it's interesting, I can tell you all this Come on, please give us some news."

Yu Cang was happy.

He said: "Okay, it's the mechanical department."

"Ah?" Wen Yang was stunned, "Yu Cang, don't fool me... What connection can mechanical toys have with a major overhaul of armaments?"

"Forget it if you don't believe it." Yu Cang said with a smile, "You will know when the big changes begin... We have something else to do, so we will leave first."

After saying that, he ignored Wen Yang and turned around to leave.

On the side, Lin Yunqing looked at Wen Yang carefully through his sunglasses, and then followed Yu Cang.

"Hey, Yu Cang!" Wen Yang stretched out his hand to stop him, but failed.

"Come on Wen Yang, what nonsense are you talking to this kind of person?" The man next to him snorted and spat out the grass roots in his mouth, "It's useless no matter how much you talk to this ignorant person."

"... Hu Chen, I just want to get some information." Wen Yang looked at Yu Cang's back and gritted his teeth, "This kid... don't want to say it, just forget it, lie to me about the mechanical system! I'm like Is it so easy to lie!"

"Aren't you also lying to him? The healing power of light... is ridiculous."

"This is different. At least I didn't make random nonsense to fool people."

"Tch, a virtue." Hu Chen curled his lips, "Okay, let's go quickly, don't waste time. There is no point in collecting intelligence. You have seen the results this time, they are very strong. In addition, this year's armaments We have changed the title a lot. Number one is already within our grasp, so don’t do unnecessary things.”

"……All right."

……

After walking for a while, Qi'er suddenly pulled Yu Cang's hand: "Brother, that man's smile is so fake."

"It's okay, don't pay attention to him." Yu Cang rubbed the girl's head.

Lin Yunqing looked over at this time and said, "Have you had any festivals before?"

"Can't talk about it."

He and Wen Yang didn't have much of a feud. Although they were both students of the same teacher, they didn't have many interactions because the armament overhaul project needed to be kept secret.

The only few times he had contact with him, he gave me the impression that he was very utilitarian.

There is nothing wrong with being utilitarian, but it also makes Yu Cang have no desire for deep friendship.

Just like this time, he was obviously not that familiar, but he still wanted to get close, and the information he gave... let's forget it.

He didn't think Wen Yang would be stupid enough to leak information about his laboratory casually, and there was someone standing next to him.

"Do you need me to collect some information?"

"Oh?" Yu Cang was a little curious, "How do you want to collect them?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Yunqing stroked her sunglasses.

"Forget it... Although Company Commander Wan said that before the major changes in armaments, this process of testing each other's intelligence was considered part of the competition by default, but for us, it is not necessary."

As mentioned before, the competition format of the Armament Major Reform is three mandatory items and seven optional items, which is very particular.

Let’s not mention the three must-selects for now. It is very particular about which three of the seven optional items to choose.

Because the scoring of optional items is based on your ranking in that item, and each achievement cannot be comprehensive, so you must try your best to choose your own strong subjects, or avoid other people's strong subjects.

This means that if you can know the relevant information of other participating teams in advance, you can use this to apply for projects in a targeted manner to make your ranking as high as possible. Even by using some strategies, some projects that are not excellent can get a better score.

Therefore, it is very important to obtain as much information as possible before the game, and game officials seem to be happy to see teams testing each other. After all, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are also part of the test of ability.

With the tacit approval of the organizers, the week leading up to each major military overhaul will be exciting.

However, Yu Cang and the others don't need to do these bells and whistles.

Because after discussing with Yu Cang, Lei Wanqing decided that they should choose all seven optional items!

As long as seven projects take first place at the same time, then there is no need to consider intelligence!

Yes, you can choose all the optional items... This is the rule of the armament overhaul, but no one dared to try this before.

Because, no matter how many are selected, the final score will be to select the three highest ones. There is not much advantage in selecting more than one, and it will only waste the physical energy of the warriors.

Another very important point is that if you expose your shortcomings in some weak projects, then the final jury will not be polite and will definitely give you a low score that breaks the lower limit, and they will even be in a bad mood. Even if you give it a negative score, it is possible.

But Lei Wanqing was very confident.

This mechanical system can definitely support this style of play!

If he could outlast the rest of the pack and make the seven choices number one at the same time, it would definitely give Lei Wanqing a lot of face in front of other military regions.

It doesn’t matter even if there are a few second place, everyone understands this situation, it will definitely shock the jury, and the score will not be low, and it will even affect their judgment and give other teams low scores accordingly.

Yu Cang was a little speechless at this exaggerated and flamboyant style of fighting, but seeing that Lei Wanqing was quite serious, he agreed.

Well, thinking about it now, it would be great if Wu Chutai's team could be completely suppressed.

Yu Cang and others were walking on the street. Suddenly, there were more pedestrians not far ahead. There were many shops selling souvenirs and some hawkers on both sides of the road. It seemed that it was the kind of commercial street specifically for tourists.

The Yan Kingdom has not experienced a war for more than a hundred years, and its borders have always been stable. The security line has been pushed dozens of kilometers away from the Great Wall. Under this environment, some border cities with good conditions have gradually relaxed access restrictions. , can be visited by tourists.

Most of the people living in Xinjiang City are the descendants of the soldiers who guarded the border. It would be a good thing if their income could be increased through tourism.

Perhaps because the Fire Festival is approaching, there are already many tourists on this street, but it is not too crowded.

Yu Cang and others walked into it and bought some interesting things when they saw them, which was quite interesting.

Among them, Qi'er was naturally the happiest. Along the way, he had already filled his belly with a lot of Yujiang's specialty snacks, and he also had a small windmill in his hand.

"Hey! This little brother!"

"Huh?" Yu Cang turned around, "Call me?"

"Yes!" A young vendor walked out of the stall and said with a smile, "Brother, how about buying a sachet for your girlfriend? The fragrance is so nourishing. If you wear it for a long time, your skin and mood will improve. "

Qi'er was holding Yu Cang's hand and walking forward. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and said, "Sister is not my brother's girlfriend!"

The vendor's expression remained unchanged: "You can buy one, too. I have many fragrances here, and they are suitable for both men and women."

Yu Cang smiled: "I'll take a look first."

He came to the stall and brushed his hands over the various sachets on the stall. Suddenly, his expression changed.

Ye Lai, who was taking a nap on Yu Cang's shoulder, also raised his head slightly, but when he saw Yu Cang's changed expression, he seemed to smile and put his head back near Yu Cang's collarbone.

Yu Cang picked up a sachet and said casually: "This stall owner... his accent doesn't sound like a local."

"Hey... I guessed it right." The stall owner said with a smile, "I came to this place with my parents, and setting up a stall is just to make a living."

"Is that so...what's in this sachet? It's not harmful to the body, right?"

"Brother, you are joking. There are some herbs and flower petals in here. This is just a small business. How can I dare to do things that seek money and harm people's lives?"

"Really?" Yu Cang smiled and said suddenly, "Are you here to participate in the major military reform?"

"Ah?" The stall owner was stunned, "What kind of armaments overhaul..."

Yu Cang's face softened slightly: "If not, then I will call the police."

The stall owner's expression changed, and he quickly said: "No, no, no, no... Oh, I'm just telling you, this trick can't fool anyone, you still have to let me do it!"

A smile appeared on Yu Cang's face.

There is an aura of soul energy in this sachet. Although it is very subtle, Yu Cang just subconsciously turned on the resonance and still noticed some clues.

He secretly activated a detection card, but found nothing. If Yu Cang hadn't used the entry recorder to record a one-hour countdown on the sachet, he would have almost thought that the soul energy fluctuations he just felt were gone. It's my own illusion.

Yu Cang then briefly tested it with words, and the stall owner was indeed fooled.

Seeing that the stall owner had already shown his cards, Yu Cang put the sachet back on the stall and said casually: "Where are you from, brother?"

"Miaodu Military Region..." the stall owner said bitterly.

"Miaodu." Yu Cang looked at him, "What's in this sachet? It's quite secretive, I almost didn't notice it."

"Hehe." The stall owner scratched his head, "It's nothing...just a few Gu insects..."

"Gu insect?!" Yu Cang's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Are you so big-hearted? Are you still poisoning people?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong." The stall owner explained quickly, "This Gu insect only has a surveillance function, nothing else..."

Seeing that Yu Cang still looked unbelieving, he wanted to explain. At this time, several urban management officials came from the side and walked straight towards him.

The stall owner's expression changed and he no longer cared about Yu Cang. He pulled up the car, got into an alley, and ran away!

"Stop!" The urban management officer immediately caught up.

On the same spot, Yu Cang looked at the stall owner who suddenly disappeared and was stunned.

You didn't even get a business license...you didn't even say hello to the city management!

At least there is a military district standing behind him, so he can't even do this little thing.

Yu Cang thought that setting up a stall was just a pretense, but he didn't expect that he would be so perfunctory.

This... wouldn't it be embarrassing if he accidentally didn't notice it and was deceived by such perfunctory means.

However, no one should fall into the trap.

"So stupid." Lin Yunqing commented sharply.

"Forget it, leave him alone, let's go somewhere else for a stroll." Yu Cang sighed, took Qi'er's little hand and left.

After walking out of this street, Yu Cang already had several large and small bags of souvenirs in his hands. It was a rare trip to Yujiang to bring something to old man Ren Zheng and Jie Shuang.

Not to mention anything else, there is often wind and sand blowing here in Yujiang. If you are not careful, your skin will definitely be blown and cracked. In this environment, the quality of the hand cream must be very good!

Yu Cang came to this conclusion after carefully observing the skin of the clerks.

When noon was approaching, Yu Cang took Qi'er and Lin Yunqing to find a store with good reviews nearby, solved the problem of lunch, and then strolled all the way back to the stronghold.

"Huh? Someone is looking for me?" Yu Cang was stunned, "Who?"

"Yes." Wanquan nodded, "I asked, and he said his identity needs to be kept secret, but he also has a military rank and is a member of the military."

"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his brows and had some guesses in his mind, "Okay, I understand."

"Then I'll go back first." Lin Yunqing took off his sunglasses, "If you need anything, please contact me at any time."

"it is good."

……

Arriving at the reception room, Yu Cang saw the person that Captain Wan was talking about.

This is a middle-aged man, wearing a military uniform, with a straight figure. He is sitting on a chair at the moment, with one hand on the side of his face and the other hand holding a book, with lazy eyes.

However, this new military uniform is a bit too much, as if he doesn't wear it at all normally.

"Who are you?" Yu Cang asked doubtfully.

"Huh?" The man raised his head, his lazy eyes brightened, "Xiaocang, you are finally back, but you have kept me waiting for so long...Why, you don't recognize me anymore? Alas, it seems that you were bullied less when you were a child. …”

Yu Cang seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened: "Wait, you...are you Cheng Mingye?"

"Uh-huh." Cheng Mingye hummed with a smile.

But Yu Cang immediately became vigilant. He quickly took out a detection soul card and scanned every corner of the room. Don't worry, there were places under the table, behind the stools, and everywhere where things could be hidden. He searched it again.

"...Okay, stop working." Cheng Mingye sighed, "If I still want to bully you, you kid won't be able to find out the clues."

"What are you doing here?" Yu Cang still didn't let down his guard, and took a few steps back while hugging Qi'er.

This Cheng Mingye was a classmate of his parents back then. After all, I had to call him Uncle Cheng, but the problem was that his character was extremely bad!

He especially likes to catch himself playing childish games when he was a child, and he has endless ways of teasing himself. He is also very keen to stick to himself and prick himself with his stubble... If he is really a child, forget it. , but he has the soul of a time traveler!

Because he didn't want his parents to notice that he was too mature, he had to step into some traps that looked suspicious at first glance, and then looked at the sudden appearance of Cheng Mingye with a speechless face and laughed. , and there is no way to deal with him.

After Yu Cang later raised his guard against him, he frantically changed his tricks of teasing others. He even used his soul card against a child named Yu Cang!

This guy is so evil!

Fortunately, within a few years, this guy ran away to who knows where and never came back. Yu Cang almost forgot about him.

The sudden appearance today really startled him.

"Me..." Cheng Mingye said with a smile, "Why don't you take a guess?"

"……Stop it."

"Okay, okay, Yu Cang, you have become a lot boring." Cheng Mingye yawned, then reached into his arms and took out a soul card, "Look, what is this."

Yu Cang was silent.

What he took out was exactly the same as the soul card that Lei Wanqing gave him as a token of the Admission Bureau.

Yu Cang pinched his brows with a headache: "Are you from the admissions bureau?"

"Of course." Cheng Mingye stood up, "You know, nephew, after I found out that a little boy named Yu Cang was going to visit the admission bureau, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep well for a few days. As soon as I heard that you were coming After Yujiang, I came here immediately, how is it, are you touched?"

Yu Cang: "...I remember that I wanted to go to the Administrative Bureau after the armament overhaul."

"Hey, it doesn't matter. It's okay to be early." Cheng Mingye smiled and looked at the chess player aside.

At this time, the girl had huddled behind Yu Cang, with only a small head exposed, looking at him with great fear.

Seeing Mingye's gaze, the girl retracted her head completely behind Yu Cang, pretending that she was not there.

"Is this the soul card?" Cheng Mingye's smile gradually faded, and his tone suddenly became much lighter, "Don't worry, nephew, I will never let it hurt you, I promise..."

"...Don't be like this, we are afraid." Yu Cang swallowed.

"And..." Cheng Mingye tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on Ye Lai on Cang's shoulder, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "There is also a suspicious little guy here... He is the 'Ye Lai' of unknown origin, right... …”

"Greetings to you." Ye Lai looked at Cheng Mingye with calm eyes.

……

Although he didn't want to see this guy, Yu Cang still followed him to the treatment bureau now that he had come to his door.

"I'm sorry, Yu Cang." The apology on Cheng Mingye's face looked very sincere, "My job is a bit special and I can't leave Yujiang. After knowing what happened to you in the imperial capital, there is nothing I can do."

"...You still have time to pay attention to me in the admission bureau?"

"Of course, although nothing else can be done, it can still be done by collecting some information." Cheng Mingye laughed again, "However, I think this is not a bad thing for you. People always have to Make more detours when you are young. My nephew's talent is already high. If you go too smoothly, I will worry that you will start to pervert like me."

"You still know...forget it." Yu Cang sighed.

"However, I heard later that my nephew has come up with many amazing things."

"..."

……

The long journey finally passed, the military vehicle stopped, and several people got off one after another.

"Didn't you say we were going to the Admission Bureau?" Yu Cang looked around, "Where is this place?"

This place looks like an ordinary dead end, located between two high walls, with no one around.

"This is it." Cheng Mingye smiled, then stretched out his hand and took out the token soul card, "Yu Cang, next, remember my actions."

He stretched out his slender fingers, and the soul card levitated automatically, growing larger and larger in the air. The darkness in the pattern on the card also expanded, flooding the soul card outwards. All the information on the card until it covers the entire card surface.

Finally, the soul card had expanded to the size of a door. Cheng Mingye moved his finger slightly, and it immediately rushed forward and stuck to the wall at the end of the dead end.

There seemed to be a buzzing sound, and the soul card seemed to be embedded in the wall. The darkness above the card surface continued to flow, forming a "door curtain".

"Okay, this is the gate of the admission bureau." Cheng Mingye turned his head and smiled at Yu Cang, "I'll wait for you inside, come quickly."

After that, he took one step forward and entered the dark curtain. Then, the door instantly rolled up and disappeared.

Yu Cang looked at the token soul card in his hand.

"So, is this soul card the key to the entrance to the treatment bureau... Or is it the door to the treatment bureau? It's quite magical."

It seems that this soul card is exclusive to everyone, just like Cheng Mingye. The door he opened with his token soul card can only allow him to enter, but Yu Cang cannot follow.

It's a pity that the token soul card in his hand is only for his own use temporarily. When the Qi'er matter is over, he still has to take it back.

"Okay, let me see, this is how it works, right..." Yu Cang stretched out his finger, and the token soul card continued to expand, and finally a door opened in the wall.

Yu Cang took a deep breath and tightened Qi'er's hand.

"Come on, Chess, let's go in."

"Yeah!" The girl nodded nervously.

Taking one step forward, Yu Cang felt his eyes go dark. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had changed drastically.

Yu Cang's eyes widened slightly.

What he saw... was a bit different from what he thought.

He originally thought that the reception bureau should be like his laboratory. At most, it would be more strict, with more rooms and tighter protection.

But in front of me... let alone a laboratory, it's not even a house.

This is a void space, and there is no end in sight, whether looking up or down. Yu Cang has reason to suspect that it is the same for the front, back, left, and right. But at this moment, countless soul cards are arranged in a circle around him, forming a wide The cylindrical shape is combined into the shape of a high tower around Yu Cang.

These soul cards are stacked on top of each other, but they are not placed tightly. From the gaps between the soul cards, you can see many yellow slender straight lines swimming in the darkness, which look very technological.

These soul cards all look the same as the token soul cards in Yu Cang's hand. To be precise, they are the same as the token soul cards that turned into doors.

There is no ground here, and Yu Cang is standing on a soul card at this moment. After a moment of feeling, Yu Cang suddenly realizes that the soul card he is stepping on is the token soul card. However, what he is standing on now is the back of the card.

hum...

There was a buzzing sound, and a soul card suddenly came out of the void, and Cheng Mingye's figure stepped out of it.

At this moment, he had changed out of his military uniform and put on a loose white coat. When he walked out, he was still buttoning his clothes.

"Ah...this clothes is still comfortable." After the door disappeared, it immediately turned into a soul card and appeared at Cheng Mingye's feet. He smiled, "Welcome to the admission bureau."

"Here..." Yu Cang's tone was a little amazed, "It's much more spectacular than I imagined."

"Of course - this place is actually inside a legendary soul card." Cheng Mingye walked towards Yu Cang, the token soul card automatically moved under his feet, and the pattern on it also moved backwards as Cheng Mingye moved forward. .

It didn't look like the token soul card was carrying him flying. It looked more like there was a floor here, but it was invisible, and the part where the token soul card happened to appear.

Yu Cang tried to take a few steps, and as expected, the token soul card under his feet also moved with it.

"Actually, this place is more spectacular as soon as you enter. The rest of the place is no different from other laboratories." Cheng Mingye said, "Let's go, I will take you to see other places... By the way, what you saw in the void Each suspended soul card contains a forbidden card."

Thanks to Chong Gong l Miao and ★Letu★ for the reward!
