The Young Master and the Butler
007 said: [This is a trait card generated based on your world. It doesn't exist in other small worlds. It usually appears in conjunction with an identity card.]
Lin Nieran looked at the other golden card; this was the bound card.
[Young Master/ Castle Master
Grade: S
Identity: Person
Features: Not unlocked
Background: Unlocked after fusing with World Card - Ancient Castle
Introduction: The young master, who has not yet successfully seized the throne, loves to watch amusement. He seems to have injured his eyes and therefore dislikes shiny things.
[Host, try placing the two cards together.]
Lin Nieran placed the young master's card on the Ancient Castle. A flash of golden light appeared, and new hints appeared on both cards.
[Young Master/ Castle Master
Grade: S
Identity: Person
Features: Not unlocked
Background: To be filled in
Introduction: The young master, who has not yet successfully seized the throne, loves to watch amusement. He seems to have injured his eyes and therefore dislikes shiny things.
[World Card: Ancient Castle
Grade: S
Introduction: It has awaited its Master. Once activated, it can form a specific Weird Instance, controlled by a noble young master/ Castle Master. The Rules can be modified, and the Instance, once generated, possesses all the characteristics of other Weird Instances and can be expanded.
Lin Nieran looked at the card, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.
This card is perfect for Qin Rang and his allies.
S-Rank, allows for customizable Rules and the ability to deploy unpredictable entities.
Isn't this the perfect "training map"? It also increases the exposure of my cards, it's perfect.
"I've been so good to the Protagonist Group, always thinking of them when I get something good." Lin Nieran chuckled, taking a sip of water and looking at the glittering cards on the table with satisfaction. "Who else would treat them this well after me?"
007: [I think they might not be happy that you're thinking about them all the time, host?]
"Shut up."
At this point, Lin Nieran had one last card to check, a purple card.
[Ancient Castle Butler
Grade: A
Identity: Mysterious
Background: Unlocked after fusing with World Card - Ancient Castle
Introduction: The Castle Butler, a loyal and doting old Young Master, what evil intentions could he possibly have? He simply wants to eliminate anyone who bullies the young master. Of course, his Master is an exception.
After reviewing the cards again and quickly assigning the personalities to them in his mind, Lin Nieran stood up and looked at the Blue Star map hanging on the wall.
The system provides maps that are much more detailed than the Authorities ones; they are updated in real time and can keenly detect strange changes.
People living in the Residential Zone wouldn't know that life seems peaceful and unchanged, but on the map, large swathes of Weird Zones are gradually covering the Danger Zone.
Once the Danger Zone is completely occupied by the supernatural beings, their next step will be to gradually encroach on the Residential Zone.
At this rate, it seems that in just a few years, the supernatural will completely surround humanity, forcing them to live in small, isolated areas.
"What exactly is going on with this strange situation? Why did it suddenly appear and spread so quickly?" Lin Nieran asked.
007 hesitated for a while, then said, "[The information you want to know will be unlocked when the system reaches V4.]"
[But 007 can tell you part of it: this thing isn't from elsewhere; it's native to Blue Star. There's more that 007 doesn't know.]
The phrase "from the Blue Star itself..." was enough for Lin Nieran to eliminate many incorrect answers.
"007 is great, telling me so much is enough." Lin Nieran patted 007's little ball and praised it.
007, the happy little ball, thought he was being very restrained as he spun around several times: [Next time, you can ask me again!]
Lin Nieran: "That's amazing." What an easy little cutie to fool.
Holding several cards, Lin Nieran zoomed in on the map of Yangcheng to examine it. Yangcheng was very far from his current Jiang City, Jiangcheng; the straight-line distance required crossing three or four cities, and a round trip would normally take about ten hours.
The Cui Family, the largest Family Clan in Yangcheng, is restless and inactive, exerting significant pressure on humans, which is why the surrounding areas of Yangcheng are the most prone to strange occurrences.
"Now that you've taken them out, get to work."
[Host, are you going to gain Fame again?!]
"Well, we probably won't make much this time. Going it alone yields less profit," Lin Nieran, spreading his hands. "It's not like last time when we accidentally dragged them into it. If we run into them again this time, they're just unlucky."
"In recent years, strange occurrences have become increasingly frequent in Yangcheng. According to Miss Cui, the Cui Family forcibly cut off the Authorities's influence, scattering all the Purgers from that area and incorporating them into the Cui Family, causing many teams to become significantly less efficient at eliminating the strange occurrences."
"Authorities influence is gradually being eroded there, leaving them isolated and helpless. We've only just received confirmation that we can't stand idly by and ignore this malignant tumor."
As the new day dawned, Tao Yun tapped on the conference room table and stared at the several yawning team leaders beside it, saying, "The video that was delivered last time was also secretly sent by Miss Cui from Yangcheng. This Cui Family is the best breakthrough point for us to crack down on the Family Clan power."
A dark-skinned youth from the same top-tier Authorities squad muttered, resting his chin on his hand, "Head of the Tao Family, what about the other two Family Clan who broke in that day? Their arrogance is just what we wanted. It's easier to make an example of them, isn't it?"
Another captain nodded and said, "Yangcheng, that place is not simple. It's remote and the water is deep. Isn't Luanzhou City closer to them? Why are they looking for us?"
Tao Yun didn't rush to deny it. "What about you guys? What do you think?"
The dark-skinned youth nudged Qin Rang, Qin Rang narrowed his fox-like eyes and grinned mischievously, "Xiaobai, you're not scared, are you?"
The dark-skinned youth snapped, "You unlucky bastard, who are you calling scared? I already told you not to call me Xiaobai!"
Qin Rang happily shifted his gaze. "Head of the Tao Family, I know everyone doesn't want to go to Yangcheng because there are organized people there, but we were also notified last night that organized people are appearing in other cities as well. To be on the safe side, I think we need to cooperate and act together."
"The Containment Department, Logistics Department, and others are all mobilized. Our team is going to meet the Purger trained by the Family Clan."
The tall young man sitting opposite Qin Rang nodded. "That's good. It's been a long time since we've done anything together."
"I support it. Actually, I'm quite curious to see what the people in this organization are like."
"Since you have this idea, then I won't say any more." Tao Yun rested her hands on the table and looked at them. "You can decide the personnel yourselves. Among them, the Calamity Crossing Squad has had more contact with the organization's people, so this time it will be split into three teams and they will be with the other teams. Qin Rang, do you have any objections?"
"Receive."
