My exclusive card pool

Chapter 20 This childhood sweetheart is not simple

"Is the scar on your neck the 'stigma'?"

Wang Xi asked.

Hearing this, Chu Nai quickly pulled a strand of silver hair over his neck, then whispered:
"Hmm. Isn't it ugly?"

"No." Wang Xi shook his head. "I think it's quite beautiful. It has a unique and holy charm. It suits you very well."

Chu Nai couldn't help but narrow his eyes and smile.

Wang Xi asked again:

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, are you a professional hero?"

"Well, that's right."

Chunai thought about it and nodded.

"Really?"

"I haven't participated in the Brave Association's assessment, so I don't have a professional certificate."

Chunai said truthfully.

"But my mentor said that my current strength is stronger than that of an average professional hero."

More than just stronger...

Wang Xi secretly complained.

He had never seen that silver-framed skull before.

"Brother Xi, are you interested in professional heroes?"

Chunai asked.

Wang Xi did not hide it and confessed:

"Well, I plan to take the Brave Exam."

"The mortality rate of professional heroes is very high..."

Chuu Nai looked worried.

"Unlike the city defense team, which only needs to clean up disasters, professional heroes also need to leave the city and go to the wilderness and disaster areas, and even enter the maze regularly."

"It's incredibly rare for one out of ten professional heroes to retire peacefully..."

"Chunai."

Wang Xi interrupted her softly.

The girl turned her head, and her light blue eyes were filled with melancholy and concern.

“I can’t live at the bottom of society all my life.”

Wang Xi said calmly.

"Disasters happen without rules. If you lack strength, you'll be slaughtered when disaster strikes... This is a difficult era. I don't have your talent, but I don't want to just muddle through."

"I have signed up for the amateur hero test at Cupid Housekeeping and will take it next week."

"..."

Chu Nai pursed her lips and looked at the young man's calm but determined eyes. She stopped trying to persuade him.

The girl silently grabbed Wang Xi's hand and put a wild card in his palm.

"Use it when you're in danger!"

"Covenant Stone (Item Card)"

"Quality: Blue three stars (cannot be upgraded)"

"A miracle was witnessed by an ascetic. Hundreds of people carved prayers in blood on a stone tablet, and a miracle occurred. Holy light shot up into the sky, dispelling evil and darkness. After the miracle, the tablet shattered into countless pieces, and this is one of them."

"After use, the stone will burst forth with a pseudo-miraculous holy light power, incinerating all enemies within fifty meters of you. This card will disappear after use."

Blue Samsung!

This was the first time Wang Xi had come into contact with a card of this quality.

"Xiao Nai, what is this?" he asked in surprise.

"A wild card that can protect you."

Chunai laughed.

"Don't worry, I have plenty."

There are a lot more……

Wang Xi was stunned.

Is this little childhood sweetheart really a rich loli? !
But in fact, Chunai did not reveal the truth.

This card was actually a gift given to her by her mentor when she left Dongzhou, as a trump card to save her life.

But compared with Wang Xi's safety, Chu Nai felt that this was not worth mentioning.

"Brother Xi, no matter which city in Jiuzhou, professional heroes are given preferential treatment."

At this time, Chunai said softly.

"Take Gucheng for example. The government will provide a 'first-level talent subsidy' of 100,000 credit points per year for three years."

"Three hundred thousand?"

Wang Xi's eyes lit up.

He was currently short of money, and if he could pass the Professional Hero Assessment, he could use the money to help with his immediate needs. Besides daily expenses, he also needed to purchase magic stones to draw cards.

"Subsidies are secondary. The most important thing is the improvement in citizenship level and the many undisclosed privileges."

Chunai explained patiently.

In the Shanhai Federation, citizens are divided into three classes.

Ordinary people like Wang Xi were third-class citizens. Above them were civil servants in government agencies like the National Defense Force, the Overlook Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau, as well as some professionals like doctors and firefighters, all second-class citizens.

There are many social benefits and preferential treatments.

Wang Xi and Chunai's parents were once researchers at the Labyrinth Research Institute and were the highest-class citizens.

This level of talent is protected by the government, and both their social status and level of respect are very high. To give an inappropriate example, when a disaster strikes, the defense forces will give priority to rescuing first-class citizens.

In the New World, there is no such thing as equality.

First-class citizens who encounter difficulties can also apply for official assistance. Most of the troubles can be basically solved.

Anyone who passed the professional warrior assessment would be unconditionally promoted to a first-class citizen. Even manslaughter was not a serious crime for them.

The authorities are very tolerant of first-class citizens.

This is the privileged class.

"The Brave Association is in charge of assessment matters, but the Overlooking Bureau also participates and supervises. The professional assessment is divided into two parts: martial arts and literary examinations, and the final result is the overall score."

Chunai continued.

"The martial arts exam is different every year, so it's not a good reference. But you can prepare for the literary exam in advance. It mainly focuses on extraordinary areas such as maze disasters, wilderness disaster areas, and wild cards. You can buy relevant study materials online."

"Okay, I have to memorize it again."

Wang Xi smiled.

Chu Nai's light blue eyes looked over.

"Brother Xi, although I don't really want you to take this path, I will support your choice. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always come to me."

"Of course," Wang Xi said with a smile. "I don't know any big shots in Gucheng, and now that you're a civil servant at the Overlooking Bureau, who else should I turn to?"

"Yeah!" Chunai smiled sweetly. At this moment, her cell phone beeped.

Chunai picked it up and took a look.

Wang Xi noticed that there was a flicker of fluctuation in the girl's eyes and the smile on her lips faded.

"Is there anything urgent?"

Wang Xi asked.

Chunai put away his phone, smoothed his hair and shook his head.

"It's nothing serious. I just started working and might be a little busy..."

"You go and do your work first, and we'll meet again when you're free."

Wang Xi smiled.

Chu Nai hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

"I send you."

Wang Xi stood up as well.

Chunai waved his hands in a panic and said:
"No, I...I'll just take the train in a bit."

"I'm just sending you onto the train."

Wang Xi looked puzzled.

"You don't think I can afford a car?"

"That was not what I meant."

Chunai hurriedly explained.

Seeing this, Wang Xi stopped teasing her and said with a smile:
"Okay, go ahead. I won't see you off then."

"Yeah." Chu Nai breathed a sigh of relief, waved to Wang Xi, and walked away, looking back every few steps.

Wang Xi did not leave immediately.

After waiting for a while, he walked out of the abandoned amusement park. Across the long and quiet street, he saw a blue-gray hover car parked at the end.

On the body of the car, there is a pattern of a yellow tower with a red circle behind the tower.

That's the sign of the Overlook Bureau.

Four or five men in black uniforms and sunglasses stood respectfully beside the car, bowing their heads and saluting Chu Nai.

Two young women, one tall and one short, were talking to Chu Nai. The taller one had big wavy purple hair and wore gold-rimmed glasses, while the shorter one looked quite familiar to Wang Xi.

"Ning Meng, the delivery guy?"

Wang Xi was very surprised.

'Is she also from the Overlook Bureau?'

Unlike his previous look when he wore a yellow delivery uniform and a helmet, Ning Meng was wearing a dark green high-necked windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets and a stern expression.

The temperament is completely different from before.

After a brief exchange with Chunai, they got into the car together.

The hovercraft overlooking the bureau whizzed away, leaving a shadow and disappearing at the end of the street.

"It seems that Tsuna's position in the Overlook Bureau is even higher than I thought..."

Wang Xi pondered.

As for why Chu Nai didn't tell him the truth, Wang Xi could guess a little.

Just as Chunai would worry about him, Wang Xi would also worry about Chunai. Her job must be more than just a clerk, and it must be dangerous. She chose to hide it because she didn't want to worry Wang Xi.

The bond between the two is deeper than that of ordinary people. Because they lost their parents when they were young, they can almost be said to be dependent on each other.

This was evident from the fact that Chunai took out his savings without hesitation and gave him a high-quality universal card to save his life.

"Let's improve our strength first."

Wang Xi said secretly.

"You're not strong enough to help her."

He shook his head and turned away.

...

...

Cupid Housekeeping.

Cleaning department office.

At the computer desk, a fat figure was processing the relevant information files regarding the storage of corpses.

He skillfully tampered with some data and deleted some files, then picked up the teacup, lay down on the chair and took a deep breath.

Drop drop drop.

At this time, Lin Zhifeng's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.

His paunchy body jumped up from the chair, then he quickly opened the door and looked around. After confirming that no one was there, he locked the door.

Lin Zhifeng picked up his phone and walked to the corner.

"Hello, Mr. An."

"Send over another batch of debris from this disaster."

There was an indifferent male voice on the other end of the phone.

Lin Zhifeng made a bitter face and said cautiously:
"Boss An, we've already secretly shipped two batches. If we ship more, we'll probably be discovered by the Overlooking Bureau's supervisors..."

"This time, the situation is different. The consortium's laboratory has shown that the saccharified substance is highly compatible with the etheric crystal, producing a special darkening reaction. This is a highly valuable and significant discovery, and the top management is taking it very seriously."

The indifferent male voice said again:

"We must complete the patent registration before the Gear Foundation and the Labyrinth Research Institute. This will even improve the way the 'Demon Hero' becomes stronger, which is an unimaginable huge asset."

Hearing that the Shanshan Group attached so much importance to it, Lin Zhifeng broke out in a cold sweat and felt an invisible pressure coming down like a mountain.

"But Mr. An, I really can't..."

Lin Zhifeng just opened his mouth when the other end of the phone interrupted:

"No matter what method you use, the materials must be delivered before tomorrow night. Do you understand?"

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Lin Zhifeng's expression changed and he clenched his phone.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

He leaned against the wall, cursing under his breath.

If his daughter wasn't still alive in the laboratory at the headquarters of the Shining Consortium, he really didn't want to act as a spy anymore and steal materials for the consortium again and again.

Lin Zhifeng is not without conscience, but he knows that if he refuses, his daughter will die.

According to federal law, the disaster debris collected by the company must be sent to the Overlook Bureau and handed over to the Labyrinth Research Institute.

His behavior has clearly constituted a serious crime.
