Thriller Trainee

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The topics that emerged from the second level evaluation are countless.

First, the E-level trainee was surprisingly awarded the S-level evaluation, and then the long-lost No.1 finally appeared. No matter which one is picked out, it can easily become the focus of discussion among the trainees tonight.

Before the end of the gathering in the studio, the main system announced that a luxurious dinner will be held in the panoramic restaurant on the second floor of the dormitory for three consecutive days. Trainees of all levels can enter.

Although everyone has eliminated physiological needs after becoming a horror trainee, who doesn't want to eat? What's more, they are still in such a desperate environment where they don't know how long they can live. It is precisely because of this that everyone is more willing to indulge themselves in alcohol to relieve stress.

After the gathering, almost all the trainees crowded to the restaurant downstairs.

The white-haired young man raised his eyes and glanced at the bustling crowd going downstairs, and silently chose the way upstairs.

He also got the ticket to the upper three levels. Although he didn't soar to the top as others had guessed before, Zong Jiu was one of the few rookie trainees who made it to the upper three levels, and he was the most popular one among all the rookies.

The dormitory for C-level trainees is located on the fourth floor of the dormitory.

Looking around, rows of clean and tidy rooms are separated at both ends of the wall, with thick reddish-brown carpets on the floor, lush green plants placed every few steps in the corridor, and the light yellow lights above add a warm tone.

If you ignore what kind of place this is, you might think you have entered the guest room floor of a high-end hotel at a glance.

The treatment of the upper three levels is completely different from that of the lower three levels. E-level sleeps in an eight-person room, D-level sleeps in a four-person room, and when you reach C-level, you can directly enjoy a single room, which is the treatment of a single room in a standard star hotel.

Zong Jiu walked to the door of the corresponding room according to the serial number on his badge. When he was about to open the door, he heard a burst of slightly hurried footsteps behind him.

He dodged to the side without saying anything. The man who rushed from behind didn't brake and hit the wall heavily.

"Damn it——"

The C-level old man missed the attack and was about to turn around, but was suddenly elbowed by someone and staggered a few steps, falling to the ground.

"You..."

The white-haired young man stood there, looking down at him.

The light pink pupils were extremely sharp under the shadow of the bangs, as if floating with light broken ice.

Just one glance made the trainee on the ground freeze.

"If you don't want to die, don't mess with me."

His eyes swept the C-level standing at both ends of the corridor with a warning, and walked into his room without looking back.

"Bang——"

The loud sound of the door closing rang in the empty corridor.

After a few seconds, an old man came to his senses.

"Damn, this new guy is so fucking arrogant."

"He just got an S-rank? He really thinks he's become a phoenix, what a bullshit."

"That's right, he should be taught a lesson."

That being said, none of the C-ranks were the first to take the lead.

The old man who was pushed to the ground by Zong Jiu's elbow was angry that he had made a fool of himself in public, and his face turned red and white.

But for some reason, when he thought of the look in the eyes of the white-haired young man just now, his legs became weak again. In the end, he just supported himself to stand up, kicked the door twice, and left cursing.

......

After closing the door, Zong Jiu threw himself on the bed with his backhand.

The room was similar to the corridor outside, and the interior was not big, just like a standard room in an ordinary hotel.

Fortunately, this was a single room, which could well protect the privacy of the trainees and also had some room to be alone.

He didn't take the provocation of the C-rank trainees outside seriously.

All the old people who came from the infinite loop are above C level, and those who are slightly more capable are more than C. It can be said that this level is very awesome in the eyes of newcomers, but it is the bottom among the old people.

Not only do they have a serious group mentality, but their strength is not that high, and they are also calculating internally. Originally, they probably just wanted to establish their power. As long as they are tougher than them and let these people know that they are not a soft persimmon that is easy to squeeze, these people will not dare to come out and be the first bird. Zong Jiu has no time to deal with them.

Now the more important thing is——

The white-haired young man raised his hand and took out the deck of cards from the system space.

The overall color of the card is dark gold, and the pattern on the back is outlined with the pattern of the Eye of God in black and gold. It is surrounded by various complicated and obscure mystical symbols, and the inside is mixed with shiny fine gold powder. Even in a dim place, it can emit a faint light, which is quite eye-catching.

Zong Jiu spread it out on the bed in a straight line.

A total of twenty-two cards.

Although this is also a deck of cards, it is not the poker that Zong Jiu is best at as a card magic master.

There are fifty-four playing cards and eighty-one character cards. None of the other niche card games in the world match this number.

The name of the item on the system clearly revealed the true identity of the twenty-two cards in Zong Jiu's hand.

[S-level item: Waite Tarot Major Arcana deck]

Zong Jiu: "..."

He was so happy when he touched the back of the card in the iron box, but he didn't expect that this was not a deck of playing cards, but a deck of tarot cards.

But he is a magician, not a fortune teller! ! !

"How to use this thing...the main system, does it have any special use?"

[Use of props: divination]

Do you still want to say this?

Zongjiu was speechless, "Other S-level items have special abilities, but my S-level item can only do divination?"

Obviously, this sentence was not within the authority of the main system to answer Zong Jiu, and the room fell into silence again.

After a while, the cold voice of the main system sounded in the air.

[This S-level prop comes with a copy of "Tarot Guide", which has been distributed to the trainee system backpack, please check it]

Oh, this is right.

Zongjiu took out the Tarot guide with a pure black cover, sat upright on the bed, and honestly opened the first page.

The main system took very considerate care of him, a newbie in Tarot, and the accompanying booklet was quite easy to understand, and it was also a color version with pictures and text, which was a good conscience.

After Zongjiu read the Tarot Guide from beginning to end and touched every card, he had to admit -

These twenty-two Major Arcana cards do not have any combat capabilities and are only used for divination.

But as an S-class item, it would be too useless if it only had the divination ability that all tarot cards have. In this regard, the explanation given by the main system is that divination performed with this deck of cards has the ability to peer into the future.

"A peek into the future?!"

Now Zongjiu felt energetic.

A peek into the future means one more clue when there is no clue. In a sense, although the Major Arcana has no fighting ability, it can definitely bear the title of S-class item.

"Can I decide the scope of this divination at will?"

The main system did not answer, but instead pulled out a cooling bar for him.

It shows that Zongjiu can now divine three times. After three times, he will have to wait for the cooldown to recover before he can draw cards again.

Zong Jiu: "It seems that there is nothing I want to know for the time being. Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

"By the way, main system, if I want to heal my hands, how many survival points do I need to spend?"

【Two thousand five hundred points】

"Then if you want to strengthen your hands and restore them to an extremely flexible level, how many survival points do you need?"

[One enhancement requires five thousand survival points]

The system even gives a friendly reminder [Current trainee account balance: two thousand points]

"Don't be so restrictive. What if I don't need to cure it directly, but just need to restore my hand to its peak level in a short period of time?"

[Yes, but the survival points required are extremely expensive, and it is not recommended for trainees to choose this method]

"It doesn't matter."

Zong Jiu shrugged and flexed his inflexible fingers, "It only takes three days."

[2000 points can be redeemed for normal recovery within seven days or enhanced recovery within three days]

The white-haired young man thought for a moment, "Then three days."

In fact, Zongjiu could also choose to gamble first, earn 500 points, and then recover his hand.

Three days is exactly the time limit for the opening of Las Vegas Casino.

If you directly choose to use 2,500 points to treat your hands, you can only return them to the level of a normal person.

There is nothing tricky about any magician's skills. They all come from practicing day and night since childhood. For example, when Zong Jiu first started practicing magic, he also exercised his eyes without blinking every day, and slept with playing cards in hand every day in order to develop flexible muscle memory.

What can such exercise bring?

For example, when Zongjiu was performing, he threw a pile of cards into the air. When the fifty-four cards were scattered, he could directly grab any card mentioned by the audience.

The audience can't tell whether this is his quick hands or the level of magic.

In these three days, as long as Zongjiu's hands can return to the level of a great magician he once was, he can let everyone experience the consequences of putting a card magician into the casino.

Even if the card master is sitting in front of you, with ten cameras pointed at him and slowed down several times, you will probably not be able to catch him cheating.

You know, in Zongjiu's world, the casino city of Las Vegas barely had a sign at the entrance saying "Magician Zongjiu and Dogs Are Not Allowed".

It's rare that Zongjiu's reputation has not fallen to that level after he passed through the book. He gambles as much as he can, runs away after making money, and never admits defeat to a gambling dog.

He doesn't want to play it safe, he wants to play big.

Zongjiu watched as the points in his system balance were cleared.

The next moment, scalding heat suddenly surged from his fingertips, miraculously flowing through the muscles and veins that had been necrotic for who knows how many years, along the blue blood vessels, and penetrated into the capillaries. It was so comfortable that he couldn't help but sigh.

The heat lasted for nearly half a minute before gradually calming down.

[2000 points have been paid, countdown starts in three days]

The young man's hands were shaking unconsciously.

He picked up the stack of tarot cards lying on the bed.

The dark golden cards were flying and jumping at his fingertips, one by one standing lightly on his fingertips, and the next moment they were flying into the air, spinning and falling, and were easily caught in Zong Jiu's palm.

As long as Zong Jiu thought about any card, he could just wrap his fingers around it for a moment and pull it out directly from the top with his eyes closed.

His hands were shaking. His hands were getting faster and faster. The curve of the corners of his mouth is getting higher and higher.

Together with it, it seems that the cards are also trembling, trembling to welcome the emperor's brief return.

This is a superb shuffling skill that cannot be described in words.

When the cards passed through his palm, Zongjiu's mind naturally projected the deck of cards into his mind in 3D. In the following time, no matter how he shuffles the cards, he can accurately tell the position of any card as long as it passes through his hand.

Zong Jiu threw the cards into the air, suddenly closed his eyes, and randomly grabbed a card from it.

The young man smiled and slowly turned over the cards.

A man in a robe is standing in front of the altar. There are countless sacrificial items placed on the altar.

There is an infinity symbol floating above the man's head, symbolizing boundless power, and he holds a magic wand in his hand pointing to the sky and the earth.

He has unlimited power and can do anything.

Major Arcana number one, The Magician.

He is back.
