The Card Maker of Time Travel

A week after Zhang Yuqi fell from his horse.

Although Zhang Yuqi couldn't find a breakthrough in other matters, and there was no clue to track down the mysterious person Yuxiu, everything was still moving in a good direction.

Gu Chen studied the quiet card with Master Ji every day, and finally got a glimpse of its mystery.Master Ji wrote three corresponding handbooks of quietness card experience, which made the difficulty of making quietness cards exponentially less.

The days were so peaceful that Gu Chen even wanted to return to school life.

However, He Qinghaiyan didn't last long like this. When Gu Chen woke up one day, he saw the horrifying headline "The Largest Tide of Alien Beasts in the History of the Federation" on the interstellar network.

Every few seconds, a piece of news flashed by quickly, which made people dazzled, but the words such as strange beast, vimo star and so on in the headlines of these news made Gu Chen's heart sink continuously.

The largest tide of alien beasts in the history of the Federation.

The location of the outbreak is still Vimo Star where the alien beast tide broke out ten years ago.

The top leaders of the Federation were in chaos, as if they had a premonition that what happened ten years ago would be repeated.

Gu Chen watched the news for a day until the afterglow outside the window turned blood red, and the air was full of solemnity and dullness.

There was no sign, no pattern, and the tide of alien beasts suddenly broke out in the middle of the night, spreading from Vimo Star to the entire Black Hidden Galaxy.The five federal armies stationed there were unable to take precautions, causing numerous casualties.

This is true for the army, let alone the common people.

This time the Federation learned from the experience of ten years ago, and did not underestimate the tide of alien beasts like last time. It only sent three or four troops there. All troops dispatched.

The only one that has not been dispatched among them is the Fourteenth Army.The Marshal of the [-]th Army has just been arrested, the army is not stable, and the acting Marshal has not been able to fully control the army.

That night.Wen's mansion.

This is the first time such a complete gathering of people and horses has been gathered after the last dinner, and there is an extra heavenly spirit.

"This time the Federation means that it does not intend to send students to participate in the war. After all, the war ten years ago sacrificed too many pillars of the Federation's future." Ji Lao said.

After the outbreak of the alien beast tide, Ji Lao and the others confirmed their previous guesses.Zhang Yuqi and the others self-directed an incident of the college's alien beast forest, in order to weaken the college's right to speak in terms of self-management.If Zhang Yuqi had not been arrested, perhaps the incident ten years ago would repeat itself, and another group of students would be encouraged to go to the front.

As for why students are encouraged to go to the front line, they still have no way of knowing.

"This time, except for the [-]th Army, almost all the armies sent troops to help. Except for a part of the troops guarding the original star field, almost all the marshals went to Vimo Star to support." Wen Yiji said.

This time the tide of alien beasts came fiercely. From the devastated scene after one night, the Federation immediately judged that the outbreak might be far from what it was ten years ago.

The wave of alien beasts was several times more terrifying than ten years ago.The Federation did not dare to repeat the mistakes made ten years ago, and dispatched the maximum force to support it from the very beginning.

"My uncle is leaving for Vimostar tomorrow, and I have already applied to him to go with the army." Wen Yiji said.

Before investigating the Alien Beast Forest incident in the two colleges, the Marshal Murong Yuan of the Sixth Federation Army and Wen Zhiqin, the Marshal of the Sixteenth Federation Army, were transferred back to the Central Star to assist.The reality turned out to be too absurd, and the final murderer turned out to be Zhang Yuqi, the head of the investigation.

There are still many unsolved mysteries about the college’s Alien Beast Forest incident. Zhang Yuqi doesn’t know anything about it, except that there is a character named Yuxiu. He has no idea about where this special drug came from and where Dong Yuyang was arrested. Know.

However, although the case was not solved satisfactorily, the real culprit behind the scenes has been caught. Zhang Yuqi's crimes are too numerous to record, which is staggering.Murong Yuan went back after the first day of Zhang Yuqi's court trial, and Wen Zhiqin stayed for a few more days. He originally planned to return in these two days, but unexpectedly, a wave of alien beasts broke out.So the original plan to return was changed to go to Vimostar for support.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Gu Chen felt uneasy about such a sudden arrangement.

Elder Ji looked at Gu Chen, a little unbearable.He is the person who hates sending students to the battlefield the most. The ridiculous decision made by the Federation ten years ago makes him hate it to this day.

But Gu Chen is different, this battle needs him, even if he is not the one who saves the Federation in the prophecy, his card making ability is also indispensable for this battle.

So far, there are very few card makers in the Federation who can make Nine Ci Cards, and only Ji Numin and Gu Chen are currently able to make Silent Cards. In terms of card quality, Gu Chen is probably better than Ji Numin.

These two kinds of cards are needed for this battle. I am afraid that Gu Chen and the others keep making cards day and night, and they cannot keep up with the consumption speed of the front line. It is quite unrealistic to wait for Gu Chen to finish making cards on the central star and then transport them to Vimo Star.

"I'll go too. When Bei Tiao Qi contacted me for the last time, he told me that he was in Vimo Star." Mu Li said.

As soon as Mu Li finished speaking, Murong Yi blurted out "I can't".

Everyone looked at Murong Yi with red eyes, and they knew it.

Murong Yi looked at Mu Li who was standing some distance away from him, he had lost him for ten years, and it was hard to find him back, maybe they would have nothing in this life, but he still couldn't bear to lose him again.

Mu Li ignored him, and didn't seem to intend to respond, his eyes were filled with his opinion which had nothing to do with me.

"I'll go too." Murong Yi said after realizing that his opinion was meaningless in Mu Li's eyes.This time he won't let him bear these storms alone again.

In the end, Ji's father and son, Murong brothers, Gu Chen, Wen Yiji and Tian Ling all decided to set off together.

Because the investigation of Zhang Yuqi's incident has not been completed, Wei Wei cannot leave the central star, and at the same time, he has to take care of Xiao Wu, so he stays at Wen's house.

The small meeting was over, and everyone went back to their rooms to pack their things and prepare for tomorrow's departure.

"I want to go home." Gu Chen suddenly proposed.

During these days, Gu Chen and Master Ji lived here at Wen Yiji's place, on the one hand to better study cards with Master Ji, and on the other hand to protect Gu Chen's safety.

Murong Zhuoqi guessed about half of Gu Chen's thoughts, and said without any hindrance, "I'll send him there, and I'll definitely send him back safely."

Mu Li also expressed to accompany him.

Wen Yiji couldn't guess what Gu Chen was thinking, and just said: "Come back early, we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

On the way back, Gu Chen was unusually silent.

Murong Zhuoqi didn't say anything, grabbed Gu Chen's hand and intertwined his fingers, hoping to give him some courage.

The night of the central star was very peaceful, and it was not affected by the tide of alien beasts on Vimo Star.The bustling lights in the distance fell into Gu Chen's eyes, and for some reason, there was suddenly an inexplicable desolation.

Gu Chen returned to the rental house that he hadn't returned to for a long time, and it wasn't considered a rental house anymore, after all, it was under Mu Li's name now.

Gu Chen looked up from downstairs, their house was very special, and they could be recognized at a glance.The windows have been repaired, and under the care of Mu Li, a bunch of green plants are so gloomy that they almost spread to the wall.Gu Chen suddenly felt that it doesn't matter if you don't buy a big villa, as long as there is no war and no death, they will all live in peace, even if it is a small house, as long as the people you love are by your side, then they will be happy enough.

"What's the matter, aren't you going up?" Mu Li looked at the dazed Gu Chen.

Gu Chen shook his head, suppressed the urge to cry, and walked forward quickly.

It was Zeng Jiang who opened the door.

Because of the outbreak of the tide of alien beasts, although the central star was not affected, the academy still closed for one day.

Zeng Jiang, who did not stay in the college dormitory, returned to the rental house.He basically didn't see Gu Chen these days. He only knew that Gu Chen and Mu Li were both investigating the matter, but Zhang Yuqi didn't see them after he fell off his horse, which made Zeng Jiang a little worried.

"You finally knew you were back, and you thought you were crazy playing outside." Zeng Jiang still looked carefree. "It's just in time to come back. I just finished dinner. You guys are really good at picking your time."

Zeng Jiang was about to close the door, only to notice Murong Zhuoqi and Mu Li who were following behind.

"It seems that dinner is a bit short, I'll make two more." Zeng Jiang said, walking quickly back to the kitchen.

Gu Chen sat blankly at the dining table, watching Zeng Jiang's busy figure in the kitchen.

He thought of the days when he first came to this world, and it was like this, every day he eagerly waited for Zeng Jiang's food, and every time Zeng Jiang would dislike him and make soup for him.The years at Blue Star may have been a little bit bitter, but it was unexpectedly memorable.

After a while, several plates of delicious dishes were served.Zeng Jiang's culinary skills are actually not as good as Mu Li's or Murong Zhuoqi's, but both of them are very supportive, only Gu Chen, who has always worked hard at meals and never puts his mind to two things, ate every bite.

"What are you doing? Losing weight? It can't be because of the tide of strange beasts on Vimo Star, right? Why, you're taking the route of worrying about the country and the people? That's not suitable for you, a fool." Put a few chopsticks in the bowl.

"Jiang Jiang, I'm going to Vimostar tomorrow, with Murong and Mu Li." Gu Chen said timidly.

The living room was suddenly silent.

Zeng Jiang looked at Gu Chen sharply, seeing Gu Chen dare not look directly at the other person's eyes.

"It's just you, what are you doing? To make trouble?" Zeng Jiang said angrily.

long silence.

"are you serious?"

Gu Chen paused and nodded.

"no!"

There is no strong tone, just like Gu Chen always wants to steal two bites when Zeng Jiang is cooking and gets rejected.But Gu Chen could hear the implication that no rejection could be heard from this simple negation.

Gu Chen didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zeng Jiang suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, instead of looking at Gu Chen, he looked at Murong Zhuoqi.

"You just let him die like this?"

Murong Zhuoqi's tone was solemn, as if taking an oath. "As long as I'm alive, I won't let Xiao Chen suffer any harm."

Zeng Jiang didn't speak any more, turned around and went back to the room sullenly.

"Wait for me." Gu Chen said, and followed into Zeng Jiang's room.

Zeng Jiang buried himself under the blanket, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Gu Chen.

"Jiang Jiang." Gu Chen whispered softly.

"Jiang Jiang."

"Jiang Jiang." Gu Chen called again.

This time Zeng Jiang finally reacted, he sat up from the bed and stared at Gu Chen in a daze. "Don't go, okay?"

Gu Chen didn't know how to answer.

As an otaku who takes buying a villa as his ideal in life and has been able to realize it, he doesn't expect a man to serve the country with all his blood and dedication.But when he found out that if many people really needed him, and if what he did could save more people, then he would still choose to take up this responsibility.

Seeing Gu Chen's silence, Zeng Jiang turned around and faced the window.

The night outside the window was dark, and Zeng Jiang's red hair blended with the night, giving off a sense of forbearance.

"Gu Chen."

"Ok?"

"I can no longer accept it. I just watched someone leave, but I don't know if it will be the last time."

Zeng Jiang's voice was a little choked up, and he spoke very softly, as if he was going to be blown away by the night wind outside the window.

But Gu Chen heard it clearly, he knew that Zeng Jiang thought of another Gu Chen.

The two were silent.

Just when Gu Chen was so confused that he didn't know what to say, Zeng Jiang turned around.

His star eyes brightened again, he walked up to Gu Chen, stared at Gu Chen for a while, and said, "I'll go with you."

Huh?

Gu Chen didn't react for a while.

"Why? You idiot can go, but I can't?" Zeng Jiang's tone returned to his usual publicity.

"But it's so dangerous there..." Gu Chen hesitated.

"You war scum told me it was dangerous?" Zeng Jiang rolled his eyes. "It's all in the logistics department anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the front line." Zeng Jiang was comforting Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was successfully persuaded, and suddenly felt that this arrangement was actually not bad.

The next day, a group of nine people boarded Wen Zhiqin's spaceship and headed for Vimo Star.

Gu Chen looked at the scenery outside the spaceship.

The universe is vast and dazzling.

Murong Zhuoqi brought a bowl of gruel to Gu Chen: "What are you looking at?"

Gu Chen shook his head, but did not speak.

He remembered the last time he sat on the spaceship, from the blue star to the central star.In a blink of an eye, a year has passed.

The last time he and Zeng Jiang came to Central Star, Zeng Jiang came with the mentality of breaking the boat, and he came with the mentality of what Zeng Jiang said.

Unexpectedly, they left Central Star after a year, and they turned out to save the common people of the Federation for such a reason.

Murong Zhuoqi didn't like Gu Chen's expression.

"This is a military spaceship, and its speed is much faster than ordinary spaceships. We will be able to reach Vimo in about two days."

Gu Chen nodded. He saw the latest frontline battle reports in today's news reports. Just the pictures shocked him. He didn't dare to imagine what the real scene would be like.

Murong Zhuoqi rubbed his hair, and gently hugged the otaku man. "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Gu Chen nodded.

On the first night on the spaceship, Wen Yiji's uncle, General Wen Zhiqin of the [-]th Army of the Federation hosted them.

Wen Zhiqin and Wen Yiji don't look alike, according to Wen Yiji, it's because he looks like his mother.Wen Yiji is a bit more suave, while Wen Zhiqin is obviously upright, his appearance is a little plain, but it makes people feel very imposing.

The dinner on the spaceship is not as rich as in the central star, but it is enough for Gu Chen to bury his head and eat hard.

Wen Zhiqin looked at Gu Chen: "I heard from Yi Ji that you are a very talented card maker."

The federal marshal suddenly spoke to him, and the otaku immediately dropped the spoon nervously, and put his hands on his lap awkwardly.

Gu Chen is still not used to other people's compliments. Before time travel, the one who could barely be praised was probably "this child has a pure heart".

Gu Chen shook his head and said nothing, not knowing how to respond.

Wen Zhiqin is a little older than Murong Yuan, and his hair is a little gray, but he is meticulously groomed.He looked at everyone with a benevolent face, and he seemed to love the younger generation so much.

But because of General Wen's prestige, everyone didn't really have fun with the host and guest, each of them was somewhat restrained, only General Wen talked about interesting things from time to time.

It was Mu Li who chatted with General Wen first, which surprised Brother Murong and others.

"I have heard about the general's name for a long time. I heard that the general volunteered to protect the most desolate land for the sake of the Federation. The younger generation admires it." Mu Li said.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Federation's Sixteenth Army should be regarded as the most desolate and poorest star field in the entire Federation, with the largest proportion of alien beast activity areas.There are also several planets in this star field that are specially used to detain prisoners exiled by the Federation, which can be described as the dirtiest area in the Federation.

While eating, Gu Chen sighed in his heart, this kind of feelings is really beyond his reach for a person who just wants to live happily.

Wen Zhiqin also enjoyed such praise, and waved his hands with a smile: "Where, someone must bear the responsibility, and they all contribute to the Federation."

Tian Ling's appetite is not very good, he glanced at Zeng Jiang who was unwilling to talk to him, and then at Murong Zhuoqi who was serving Gu Chen with food, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

"Speaking of which, Gu Chen, you can look up to General Wen, who is much more inspirational than you." Tian Ling looked at Gu Chen and said.

Gu Chen's current knowledge of the top federal officials is only in the field of Marshal Murong, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of Wen Zhiqin.

Seeing his confused look, Murong Zhuoqi explained to him in a low voice.

Wen Zhiqin's talent was not good when he was born, which made Wen Zhiqin's life difficult in the Wen family, because the Wen family was a well-known family of high talents.Especially after the birth of his younger brother, Wen Yiji's father, Wen Zhiqin's situation became even worse.

However, Wen Zhiqin is a person of great temperament. After a trip to a fringe planet for training, he got a blessing in disguise and made a breakthrough in his mental power. Since then, his progress has been rapid, and he reached the peak of the tenth-level magic card master in his middle age.

Wen Zhiqin's relationship with Wen's family is not good, probably due to the neglect at birth, but he loves his nephew very much.Later, Wen Zhiqin took the initiative to ask Ying to manage the worst star field in the Federation, and he has been dedicated to his duties for so many years, which was once rumored to be a good story.

Gu Chen nodded, looking at General Wen on the main seat, he felt a little more respect in his heart.

"Little Gu was not talented before?" Wen Zhiqin seemed quite interested.

"It's not just bad, it's a mess." Tian Ling dismissed it.

Tian Ling wanted to say something, but was interrupted abruptly by Mu Li. "General Wen is a tenth-level magic card master. I don't know what General Wen's companion looks like."

Murong Yi, who had been eating with his head down, paused for a moment, feeling strange, Mu Li didn't seem like someone who was interested in such things.

"My uncle doesn't have a spiritual companion." The one who spoke was Wen Yiji who walked in. He finally finished his loving call with Wei Shi's Xiao Biesheng's newlyweds, and remembered that he was coming for dinner.

"That's right, not every high-level magic card master card maker will have a companion creature with spiritual power. Xiaowen's flame unicorn is very majestic, but unfortunately I don't have one." Wen Zhiqin shook his head regretfully.

Mu Li apologized and didn't speak again.

With Wen Yiji's arrival, the atmosphere at the table became active, and Gu Chen, who was originally not good at speaking on such occasions, couldn't help blending into it.

After dinner.

Gu Chen went to deliver food to Ji Numin. The master was obsessed with making Jiuci cards and silence cards. After entering the spaceship, he kept going out of the gate and forgetting to sleep and eat.

Gu Chen arranged the meals, and hurriedly exited before Master Ji was going to catch him to discuss the cards.It's not that he doesn't want to discuss it with Master Ji, but that Master Ji can discuss it endlessly. Gu Chen, who was originally unwell on the spaceship, couldn't stand the suffering.

When Gu Chen returned to his room, he found Mu Li standing in the aisle, staring blankly at the vast universe outside.

Gu Chen poked his head over and looked out the window a few times, but he didn't see anything unusual.

"I was thinking, who could it be?" Mu Li said suddenly.

Gu Chen looked around, there was no one else, was Mu Li talking to himself?

Mu Li glanced at Gu Chen, who was looking around, and shook his head: "I still think that the person who can control this conspiracy should be an upper-level figure in the Federation."

Gu Chen actually agrees with Mu Li's idea, but they have investigated almost every suspicious person before, including General Murong and General Wen, but there is no evidence or sign at all.

"Do you still remember Bai Lin's death?" Mu Li asked suddenly.

Gu Chen nodded, how could he not remember, even though he had no contact with Bailin, a person who was alive a few days ago was killed in an instant, and when he opened the freezer, he saw the other's body, that kind of touch is not easy obliterated.

"Bai Lin was killed by a companion creature with spiritual power. With Bai Lin's ability, there is not much that the entire Federation can do." Mu Li said lightly.

Gu Chen suddenly remembered that during dinner, Mu Li suddenly asked about the general's companion creature. It turned out that Mu Li hadn't given up looking for a breakthrough from the federal marshal from the beginning to the end.

The two of them didn't speak any more, they looked out of the spaceship together.

It was pitch black outside the window, as if covered with a layer of ink-stained drawing paper.The spaceship is passing through an area without stars, can't see light, and can't feel moving forward.Only the slight shaking of the hull told them that they were heading for their destination.
