Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 358: Same Heart, Different Paths (Twenty-nine)

Fu Cangzhao spent some time cleaning up the mess and took a nice hot bath. She felt extremely relaxed after temporarily putting aside the burden of her mission as a tomb keeper and pretending to be just an ordinary outsider.

He let his sleepiness take over and fell headfirst onto the bed, curling up slightly. He wanted to fall asleep, but for some reason Bing Haoqi's slightly angry advice echoed in his mind: "Remember to cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep!"

She reached out her hand and touched above her head, and sure enough she felt a brand new pillow and quilt. Reluctantly, she pulled the quilt off and pressed it against her body, then rolled her body over a few times until her head was barely able to rest on the pillow.

My consciousness was floating up and down, and this time I was no longer troubled by various dreams, only darkness.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

A powerful knocking sound broke into the darkness.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Fu Cangzhao treated the knocking as discordant background music, hummed vaguely, and turned over.

Then she woke up.

With her short dark blue hair as messy as a chicken coop, Fu Cangzhao was puzzled for a long time about the lack of stuffiness on her head. Then she remembered that she had thrown away the wig made by the undertaker somewhere long ago.

Just as the thought of finding something came to her mind, there was a series of knocks on the door outside, which made her give up the idea. She simply cast a layer of illusion on herself. Anyway, with her ability, it would not be easy for her to be discovered.

Despite feeling sleepy, she staggered to open the door. As expected, there was the person with dazzling long straight black hair outside the door, and her clothes had changed into comfortable and warm home clothes.

Somehow, she felt hurt by her neighbor's appearance. She took a small step back and looked away.

There was a downward pressure from above my head.

The neighbor extended his warm palm, gently pressed Fu Cangzhao's unruly short hair, and said, "You left in a hurry before, and I didn't have time to introduce myself to you. My name is Qu Yongxi, and I live in Qingbai District. I just registered for a free apartment because I work here."

The cool breeze blew in from the door, causing Fu Cangzhao to shiver.

"Do you want to come to my house and sit for a while, or let me into your room?" Qu Yongxi realized that leaving the door open like this would make people cold, so he took the initiative to make an invitation.

"I'll go to your house." Fu Cangzhao blurted out. Are you kidding? She didn't know where she had thrown the wig. If it was discovered, it would be ruined.

Soon, the two of them stared at each other across a coffee table. As for the steaming boiled water on the table, no one paid any attention to it for the time being.

Qu Yongxi took the initiative to attack again: "What's your sister's name and where are you from?"

"I..." Fu Cangzhao recalled his own personality and answered slowly, "My name is Fang Cheng now, and I come from... outside."

"Outsider?" Qu Yongxi asked in surprise. "This is the first time I've seen a living outsider in my life. What's the difference between your place and ours?"

"It's safe here." Fu Cangzhao chose to speak as little as possible. The more he spoke, the bigger the flaw in his character would be.

Fortunately, Qu Yongxi had no intention of delving into the outside environment. He just touched her head and said with a smile, "Now you know that our Card City is very good! No matter how you lived before, as long as you come to the Card City, you still have to live a stable life."

Fu Cangzhao responded sullenly: "Yeah."

She couldn't help but look at Qu Yongxi's hair swaying back and forth with every wanton movement. The latter naturally noticed her dishonest little look and reached out to touch her cheek, causing her gaze to naturally move to his face.

"Qu Yongxi...Sister." Fu Cangzhao called subconsciously.

His eyes were not as indifferent as usual, but were filled with mist, like two clear lakes with the bottom visible, making him particularly endearing.

If possible, Qu Yongxi really wanted to kiss her on the face.

Reason prevented the two from continuing.

They were just neighbors who had just met each other for a short time, and it was not appropriate for them to do anything inappropriate.

The air became quiet again, and after a long while, Qu Yongxi asked, "Since Sister Fang Cheng is an outsider, does that mean she has to go to the Founder Academy for training?"

Fu Cangzhao acted obediently and said, "It's nearby, in Xiahe Thirteenth Courtyard."

Qu Yongxi's eyes lit up: "It just so happens that my unit is not far from the Thirteenth Hospital, let's go together tomorrow!"

Fu Cangzhao dodged his gaze for a moment, but still readily agreed: "Yes."

Qu Yongxi smiled, moved closer to her and kissed her cheek, and she pretended to be shy and kissed him back.

After that, the two went back to their rooms to sleep and nothing happened.

To be honest, Fu Cangzhao felt a little disappointed, but in order to maintain his image as an outsider, he had to keep the necessary distance.

Next, she and Qu Yongxi spent two peaceful weeks together. Every day, she went to Xiahe Thirteenth Hospital to listen to some boring classes, and after class, she went back to the apartment to cook. After dinner, she tried to make energy cards according to the teaching content.

She was just planning to muddle through as usual, but just before she started she suddenly realized that her habits were far from what she was taught, and she had to rethink the patterns from scratch.

Not only must the card be efficiently powered, but its various parameters must also be within the range of civilian cards specified by the city.

As an "outsider", she should have made some mistakes if she rashly accepted the system of the Card City.

Following this line of thought, she redesigned the pattern of an energy card, trying her best to comply with the city regulations while showing her unfamiliarity in every aspect, barely maintaining the function of an energy card.

To be honest, when this card was first made, Fu Cangzhao had the urge to tear it up, but in order to maintain his character... he endured it!

After smoothly completing the training period, she was finally able to make a "proper" energy card according to her teacher's expectations and became a qualified fourth-class citizen.

Since there was no problem with the vest for the time being, Fu Cangzhao planned to leave for Qiuxia District as soon as possible to continue the pilgrimage to the gods' tombs and do some of his own things.

She planned to decrypt the two code cards in advance.

One was from Song Ximing, and the other was entrusted by the mayor to her to bring to the northern tomb keeper when he was in the Xianling District.

The patterns on the password cards are very special. Others cannot obtain information by observing the patterns or directly infusing the idea of ​​creation. Only those who know the password table can enter the password according to a specific method and decipher the information.

Fu Cangzhao would not deliver the express delivery honestly. She planned to secretly open the package to find out what was inside. Of course, since others asked her to deliver something, they must have expected her to do so. She didn't say anything, and no one took the initiative to expose her. However, although she was sure that she could forcefully read the information, she was not sure that the two cards were intact. This was why she needed to find suitable card cryptography talents from the high-tech park of Qiuxia District to use professional power to decrypt it.

"The scripts for the second and third episodes of Dark Chaser have been completed..." Before leaving, she confirmed that the preparations had been completed and whispered to herself, "Let me cook a meal for Sister Qu before I leave. This is called a farewell."

There was still some food left, so she cooked a pot of beef curry as usual. Because she was treating guests, she made a little more than she usually eats.
