My exclusive card pool

Chapter 25: An unexpected surprise

Chapter 25: An unexpected surprise (seeking follow-up reading)

After hearing Yu Zizi's words, Wang Xi frowned slightly.

The joy of winning the prize was slightly diluted.

He had learned online that there were several prerequisites for taking the professional warrior assessment.

In addition to the required martial arts card, an amateur warrior qualification certificate is also required. There is no specific rank requirement, it is purely for qualification verification.

in short.

You can have food, but you can't live without it.

The amateur hero assessment is held every six months, and the professional hero assessment is held once a year. Even if you sign up, you still need to go through screening and queue up.

If I miss this opportunity, I really don’t know how long I’ll have to wait before I can become a professional hero...

Wang Xi sighed secretly.

Although his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, the injury he suffered is not light. It will take at least ten days to half a month before he can move normally.

I really can’t make it to next week’s assessment.

Wang Xi changed his mind and decided to wait for the 10 yuan bonus from the Public Security Bureau to arrive and then buy an artificial universal card that can quickly heal injuries.

That kind of card is bound to be expensive, but in order to be able to take the test as soon as possible, he felt that the money could not be saved.

At this time, Yu Zizi moved a chair and sat down, then said to the young man on the bed:
"I have a suggestion, you might as well listen to it."

"Superintendent Yu, please speak."

Wang Xi looked up.

The purple-haired police inspector adjusted his glasses and said:
"You have made a great contribution to Gucheng by killing Park Hong. I can recommend you to the Brave Association in the name of the Public Security Bureau... At that time, with this qualification and honor, you can skip the amateur brave assessment and directly participate in this year's professional brave assessment."

Hearing this, Wang Xi raised his brows.

Can this be done?
Yu Zizi said again:
"The failure rate and mortality rate of professional warrior assessments are not low. If you hadn't proven your strength in this case, I wouldn't have made this suggestion."

"If that's the case, that's great."

Wang Xi said quickly.

"I agree to this arrangement."

"Yes." The purple-haired woman stood up. "Then you should take good care of your injuries during this time, and also prepare yourself. This year's Professional Hero Assessment will be next month."

"Thank you, Superintendent Yu."

Wang Xi thanked him.

Yu Zizi nodded and slowly left the ward.

Wait until the door clicks shut.

"call……"

Wang Xi let out a long breath and smiled.

"This can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?"

...

In the afternoon.

Wang Xi was browsing study materials for the Chinese language exam on his phone when there was a knock on the door. To his surprise, it was a colleague from Cupid Housekeeping.

A group of people were holding baskets of flowers and fruits, it was so lively.

Besides Zhu Yuhe and the others, there was also a strange middle-aged woman in a slim-fitting suit. She was introduced as the head of the cleaning department, Yang Fu.

They heard that Wang Xi had been in a car accident while on field work, and at the strong request of their leader, they came together to visit him.

Of course, the main reason for the visit is the latter.

After some small talk, the female supervisor Yang Fu sent the rest of the people away and stayed in the ward alone.

Wang Xi had already guessed something in his mind.

As expected, the thin-faced female supervisor showed a fake smile that looked enthusiastic and said:

"Xiao Wang, you should have heard about Lin Zhifeng's incident, right?"

"Well, it seems Brother Lin was taken away by the Public Security Bureau."

Wang Xi nodded and pretended to be hesitant.

Yang Fu groaned.

"There are some shameful things involved here. Xiao Wang, please try not to spread it. Don't tell anyone about your true experience on the field yesterday..."

As she spoke, the female supervisor showed a look of regret again.

"Lin Zhifeng brought this upon himself, but you've just started working here, and he's put you through such a rough patch. Not only are you injured, but you'll also miss next week's Amateur Brave Assessment... On behalf of the company, I've come to express my condolences to you, an outstanding employee."

"The company has approved your compensation of 10 credits, plus an extension of one month of paid leave."

The female supervisor smiled and said nothing more.

It seems like he is waiting for Wang Xi's statement.

The other colleagues thought he had just been in a car accident, but as a senior executive of the company, Yang Fu must know the truth.

A deputy director of a department embezzled money and colluded with underground forces to hire someone to kill his subordinates, which had a negative impact on the reputation of Cupid Housekeeping.

Yang Fu's visit was fake, the real purpose was to shut up Wang Xi, the person involved.

But in Wang Xi's opinion, this is not a bad thing.

Lin Zhifeng was arrested, and the death penalty was the only outcome. The fact that he could profit from this incident was purely a happy accident.

"Manager Yang, please rest assured."

Wang Xi picked up a peach from the fruit basket beside the bed, wiped it casually, took a bite, and the juice flowed out.

"My biggest problem is that I'm too tight-lipped."

"Haha." The woman in the gray suit looked at the young man sucking the peach juice and laughed with her hands covering her mouth. "It's better to be tighter, so that everyone can feel comfortable, right?"

...

Cupid's housekeeping is still as efficient as ever.

That night, the compensation of 10 credit points was transferred to Wang Xi's personal account.

"Balance: 101,400."

Wang Xi looked at his phone and laughed.

Lying on the hospital bed, he couldn't wait to open the online shopping platform "Feimao" and searched directly for magic stones.

"Today's Magic Stone Price: 104 Credits/gram."

The price has been reduced.

1 credit point lower than the previous price.

"purchase!"

Wang Xi immediately placed an order for 500 grams of magic stone.

The delivery address is the hospital ward number.

A few hours later, around ten o'clock in the evening, a nurse delivered the package to the ward.

Wang Xi thanked her. After the nurse left, he couldn't wait to open the wooden box and take out the purple stone ingot protected by the black sponge.

This piece is obviously larger than the last one, about half the size of a palm and one inch thick.

Wang Xi absorbed it silently.

Energy: 700

He closed his eyes, and in his mind, three balls of light, two white and one green, appeared. They were the card pools of the caravan guard "Polk" and the wanted criminal "Park Hong".

Wang Xi first drew out two white cards.

The result is a "Poisoned Throwing Knife" item card and an "Armed Longsword" equipment card.

They are all one-star white cards that cannot be upgraded.

Wang Xi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He had better equipment and felt there was no need to keep these, so he crushed the two white cards into experience points and fed them all to the "Randall Body Building Method".

During this process, he had an idea.

I tried to shatter the "Solomon Universal Gun Battery," but it didn't work. Caius showed no reaction to the card, seemingly dismissing it.

'pity……'

Wang Xi sighed secretly.

If this card can be crushed into experience points, it means that he can gain experience points by purchasing a large number of cheap artificial cards online, thereby achieving a rapid leap in strength.

But it turns out that Caius only recognizes original products.

No matter how beautiful and sweet artificial things are, they are not as special as the original ones.

"Randall's Body Building Method (Exercise Card)"

"Quality: White 1-star (upgradeable)"

Experience Points: 83/100

Two one-star white cards in exchange for 30 experience points.

Seeing that the Body Building Technique was about to be upgraded, Wang Xi was in a good mood. Immediately, he drew the last green card.

"The prey's heart lies hidden between its ribs, like a red ladybug caught in a spider's web. Every struggle is a death knell... I hear you."

Pu Hong's hoarse and cold voice rang in Wang Xi's mind.

Listen to the Heartbeat (Skill Card)

"Quality: Green One Star (Upgradable)"

"The killer couldn't remember which corpse he got it from, but it had been with him for a long time. He became increasingly addicted to the thrill of the hunt, hearing the prey's terrified heartbeat."

"After using this card, you will gain special perception and can determine the target's location by listening to their heartbeat. Each use of this card will consume a small amount of energy."

Wang Xi was a little surprised.

He had seen this card before.

After Park Hong's death, the card was found among the cards extracted from his body. However, Wang Xi did not take it away at the time, and it was eventually taken back by Police Inspector Yu as evidence and kept at the Public Security Bureau.

Now Wang Xi got it by drawing a card.

'Does this count as a copy?'

He thought to himself and chose to enable it.

There was a flash of green light.

Wang Xi felt that his body had gained a new ability, and he closed his eyes instinctively.

My vision fell into darkness.

Dong Dong, Dong Dong...

At this time, a clear heartbeat was heard, and a jumping red line appeared in the darkness, only a few meters away.

But the red line did not move.

'It's the patient in the next ward.'

Wang Xi had some enlightenment.

He tilted his head slightly, further amplifying the range of his ability, and more and more complex heartbeats were heard.

Some are still, some are moving, some are above your head, some are downstairs... In this building, no matter whether they are nurses or patients, as long as they are within 20 meters of Wang Xi, their movement trajectory will be controlled by him.

"A very powerful card."

Wang Xi opened his eyes and smiled.

This card is more auxiliary and suitable for tracking, early warning, exploration and other aspects.

"No wonder I couldn't shake off 'Black Mamba' Park Hong's pursuit..."

He said to himself.

Finally, Wang Xi took out a deep, dark card and looked at it carefully.

——"Chekhov's Gun"

A unique unknown card.

The back of the card was covered in black, irregular crystalline patterns. The front showed a dimly lit room, where a man in a suit was writing at a desk with his back to him.

The pattern is in black and white tones.

Like old photos.

As he watched, Wang Xi suddenly heard a voice, quietly ringing in his mind:

“Time is the best teacher, but unfortunately, it kills all its students…”

This is a mature and gentle male voice.

Wang Xi's pupils shrank.

He saw that the figure writing at the desk on the card in his hand actually moved.

The man slowly turned his head, revealing a face that looked to be in his thirties. A smile graced his handsome features, clad in a monocle.

“So young people, don’t wait for opportunities, create them.”

"Are you... the great writer Mr. Chekhov?"

Wang Xi was startled and tried to ask in a low voice.

The man shook his head.
