Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 360: Same Heart, Different Paths (Thirty-one)

"woke up?"

Fu Cangzhao was still in a daze, but when he heard someone calling him gently, he woke up instantly and sat up abruptly.

She looked around, having no idea of ​​her surroundings.

Where have I been?

It was the same voice as before: "Your name is Fang Cheng, right?"

"...Ah, yes." Fu Cangzhao took a long time to remember the new vest he had just settled on.

The man gestured on the screen projected by the optical computer and explained to her: "The enthusiastic citizen who brought you here said that she had just got off the last subway and saw you fainted at the exit gate, so she quickly called an ambulance to pull you over."

"Then...thank you," Fu Cangzhao nodded blankly, "So why would I...?"

Maybe it was because she had just woken up and her brain couldn't yet form appropriate sentences, she could only speak and gesture at the same time, hoping that the person dressed as a doctor in front of her could understand what she wanted to convey.

Fortunately, the doctor understood: "Oh, it must be dysmenorrhea."

Fu Cangzhao: "..."

A pair of sparkling eyes lost their luster in an instant.

She then noticed the pain in her waist and abdomen, and she had clamped her arms between her thighs and stomach to relieve some of the discomfort. Her brows knitted unconsciously, but she seemed to have the same expression every day. The doctor could not tell anything from her face, and could only judge from her body movements and pale face that the patient in front of him was indeed suffering from dysmenorrhea.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's nothing serious." The doctor smiled and stroked her back along the spine. "I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. You'll be fine after taking it."

I was afraid that she might not have enough Creation Points, so I told her, "In the city, the general dysmenorrhea medicine doesn't cost Creation Points. With your physical condition, that's enough. And the person who sent you here has already paid for your registration fee and hospitalization fee. You can just leave after you get the medicine."

There was another thing I kept in my mind but didn’t say directly: dysmenorrhea that can be cured with free dysmenorrhea medicine shouldn’t cause people to faint, so why was this child still sent to the hospital? Was it a problem with her physical constitution or the medicine?

Seeing her moving to get out of bed, the doctor quickly said, "Don't worry, you're still having menstrual cramps, you should rest more."

Fu Cangzhao insisted on getting off the ground: "I want to say thank you to the person who sent me here."

Seeing this, the doctor shook his head helplessly: "But she left not long after she brought you here, and she didn't even leave her name."

"I owe her creation points." Fu Cangzhao gritted his teeth and insisted, completely unaware of the sweat on his forehead.

Before she could put on her shoes, her vision went dark and she lost consciousness again.

When he woke up the second time, Fu Cangzhao stared blankly at the ceiling, not moving at all.

dare not move.

Don't dare to move at all.

The doctor was not there this time. There were two boxes of medicine on the bedside table with doctor's instructions underneath, stating the daily dosage and dietary restrictions.

She struggled to get up and took the medicine with warm water according to the doctor's instructions. When the pain in her body was almost gone, she carefully put on her shoes and went out.

People cannot fall into the same pit twice, at least they cannot faint under the doctor's nose twice because of not taking medicine for dysmenorrhea.

Since she probably couldn't repay the favor at the moment, she could only do some real work.

Qiuxia District, as the largest high-tech park in the card city, has many talents who are good at decryption. However, under normal circumstances, it is rare for outsiders to decrypt, and the person who can decrypt the two cards in her hand may not appear in a regular decryption agency.

However, demand always exists, so the "black market" came into being.

To be precise, it should be called the underground crypto market, where most of the shameful crypto transactions take place.

She had been to the black market before when she was in Chunliu District. Wu Ruohuang couldn't give out all the bomb cards at once, so she had to go to the black market to make up for the insufficient shares. Therefore, she learned some skills to find the entrance to the black market.

At this stage, "Fang Cheng" must be an innocent identity, so that if something goes wrong during the tour, she can use this identity to avoid the limelight. Therefore, before leaving, she changed her identity to "Tang Nuo" and then explored the entrance to the underground password market with ease.

In the orthodox founder schools, card cryptography is a relatively large subject. Card patterns are naturally suitable for encryption, so in the five hundred years since the establishment of the city, many founders with nothing to do have designed one set of codes after another, and countless founders who love decryption have gone to decrypt them, jointly creating a prosperous scene of card cryptography.

Like other black markets, the underground crypto market has evolved a set of standardized business models over a long period of time. The biggest difference between the underground crypto market and the aboveground crypto market is anonymity. Aboveground transactions emphasize leaving traces, while underground transactions emphasize privacy protection. Due to the hidden risks, the Security Department was once troubled by it. After several unsuccessful cleanups, it could only let it go.

The information that Song Ximing gave her was relatively unimportant. The highlight was the intelligence that the mayor sent to the tomb keepers in the north. But since she was already here, she might as well decrypt it all at once.

The person she was looking for was very clear. He needed to have skills in dynamic calculations, which was a relatively difficult branch in the entire card cryptography, and there were relatively few people willing to study it.

I was lucky this time. I received a notification that the commission had been accepted shortly after I posted it.

According to the black market rules, after both parties verify their identities, they should pay a certain amount of Creation Points to rent a private commission secret room. The secret room is guaranteed to be free of any surveillance, which can block information leakage to the greatest extent. However, the price of high performance is high. Half an hour will cost 100 Creation Points, which is an exorbitant price in the card city.

But even so, the black market is still very lively.

Soon, Fu Cangzhao found the person he wanted.

In the secret room, the two sat opposite each other. The person who received the commission stared at the two cards in deep thought, and Fu Cangzhao took this opportunity to observe her appearance.

The other person was wearing a cloak and his age could not be determined at first glance, but from his voice he was definitely much younger than expected.

She pondered for five minutes before speaking hesitantly, "A dynamic password of this level would be very difficult to decipher using traditional methods."

Fu Cangzhao folded his hands under his chin, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You have another way."

"Well... I guess so, but..." The man opposite leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, "Because this is something I just researched not long ago, there is no guarantee that it will succeed, but at least it won't be damaged."

"That's enough." Fu Cangzhao didn't have high expectations for this. The encryption level of the card given to her by the mayor was extremely high, and she also knew part of the content of Song Ximing's report in advance. Anyway, it was not her job, let alone something she should pay attention to.

"You can't fall into the same pit twice."

——My own joke about killing geese and ducks: either I roll to a pelican but can’t eat it no matter what, or I get eaten by a pelican.
