The Age of Online Card Games Is Here
If he were to draw his sword, even if his body were trembling, his hand wouldn't shake. But how could he possibly draw his sword against Lin Shuang?
Thus, Acheron, having essentially severed his own hands, suddenly lost his greatest ability to resist.
The hands that were pinching Lin Shuang's cheeks suddenly loosened their grip.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Shuang quickly shook her head to break free from Acheron's control, and then rose up in rebellion!
With a flip, he turned Acheron over and pinned him to the sofa.
Lin Shuang, straddling Acheron, chuckled smugly.
"Hmph--I've turned the tables on you!"
However, Lin Shuang's face was a little swollen from Acheron's pinching, turning her into a round, rosy-cheeked girl.
It really has no deterrent effect.
She'd be better off not smiling at all; her smile just makes her look like she's being coquettish.
Acheron couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile, but he quickly suppressed it again.
Lin Shuang knew the gravity of the situation; after all, Acheron was worried about her, and she couldn't really do anything.
So Lin Shuang got up and took Acheron's arm with her.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll be more careful in the future. Who knew a Simulated Universe project would run into something like this? Normally, no Aeon would bother with this kind of thing."
As she spoke, Lin Shuang took Acheron's hand and headed towards the bathroom.
"You've been running around outside for so long, let me help you wash up. Get some rest tonight, hehe."
"I wish you would really learn your lesson."
"Hey, that's a statement."
Lin Shuang laughed and made a sarcastic remark.
The Herta Puppet, on the other hand, works diligently and without complaint, doing housework.
No smart household robot is as convenient as a puppet that Lin Shuang can directly control.
The next day.
After a good night's sleep, Acheron set off early in the morning.
Lin Shuang, who got up early, received Photos sent by March 7th and Xing last night.
The two appeared to have taken some Photos of snow-covered plains and exotic cities.
It's obviously Jarilo.
According to March 7th, they had just arrived in Jarilo yesterday and were even treated to the most luxurious hotel.
Lin Shuang looked at the time the message was sent on March 7th; it seemed to have been sent just last night.
Last night at that time, Lin Shuang was learning vocal techniques from the Firefly.
I went back to sleep after finishing my lesson and didn't even look at my phone.
Lately, Lin Shuang has been spending some time every day learning that skill that buffs herself—it's kind of weird, but it's really useful.
It may not be used normally, but it can be surprisingly effective in crucial moments.
After you go to Penacony and Firefly, you can try recording a song and see how much you need to adjust the pitch before the system will deem it invalid.
Lin Shuang glanced at the time the message was sent.
I roughly calculated that right now, March 7th and the others should be being hunted down throughout the city by the Silvermane Guards, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuang couldn't help but laugh.
Then, in a very unethical manner, he replied to March 7th:
[Lin Shuang: Be careful not to get wanted by the locals and end up in the slums, joining the resistance!]
[Lin Shuang: [Go for it, March 7th!]]
After sending the message, Lin Shuang opened Xing's chat window and sent her a message as well:
[Lin Shuang: Remember to take a shower after rummaging through the trash can.]
[Lin Shuang: [March 7th thumbs up]]
The message was sent successfully, but I waited quite a while without receiving a reply.
It really looks like they're being chased.
So Lin Shuang put away her phone and gave a wicked smile.
I wonder when those two will remember to reply to the message.
Lin Shuang has no plans for today, and there's still no news from Kafka.
Moreover, the clothing production period has only been a few days, so it's probably not finished yet.
So Lin Shuang thought, why not go back to the Xianzhou and visit the Crafting Division?
While her teleportation method is simple and easy to use, most of the procedures are pre-packaged and can be started with a single click.
This prevents Lin Shuang's teleportation from carrying people back and forth, which can be considered one of its drawbacks.
Since the Portable Space wasn't outside the detection range, Lin Shuang figured that if she put Bella inside as well, they should be able to pass through together.
Do what you want to do.
After saying this to Bella in her mind, Lin Shuang opened the Portal and returned to her residence on the Xianzhou.
He then went straight to the Crafting Division.
Lin Shuang had just arrived at the place and hadn't even had a chance to greet anyone.
But then he found himself seeing an unexpected green figure, not in the Divination Department, but in the Crafting Division.
"Hey, Qingque! What are you doing here?"
"Eeya--?! Lin, Lin Shuang?! You, what are you doing here?"
When Qingque's name was called, she jumped up, turned her head, and stared at Lin Shuang with wide eyes, looking astonished.
Volume 1: Chapter 184 The era of online card games begins here.
Lin Shuang looked at Qingque seemed to be panicking for no apparent reason, with a puzzled expression.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Master Gongshu was also standing with Qingque.
"Oh, Master Gongshu is here too. I was just about to look for you."
Lin Shuang raised her hand and greeted Master Gongshu as well.
"Ah, right, we were just talking about you..."
"Cough cough--!"
Before Master Gongshu could finish speaking, Qingque coughed twice, interrupting him. Then, chuckling, she ran a few steps to Lin Shuang and hugged her arm.
"Girl, why did you come straight to the Crafting Division this time? You didn't even tell me what was going on. If you had told me, I would have come with you, otherwise we almost missed it."
"..."
Lin Shuang was completely Qingque by Qing Que's inexplicable attitude.
What is this person doing?
Why aren't you saying anything?
"... No, it's nothing. I came to ask Master Gongshu if he could make something. By the way, what are you here for? A new mahjong table?"
Lin Shuang looked down at the tiny blue Qingque, who nodded vigorously after hearing Lin Shuang's words.
"Oh right, it's the new card table. My old one's been used for decades, and I was thinking it was time to replace it."
"I see."
Lin Shuang looked up at Master Gongshu, only to find him standing beside her with his arms crossed and a smile on his face, though it was unclear what he was laughing about.
"Master Gongshu, I'd like to ask if your Crafting Division can make those custom-made miniature Cavern? The kind that can be carried around."
How big do you need? What do you need it for?
Master Gongshu looked at Lin Shuang curiously, knowing that Lin Shuang already possessed a Portable Space that was much larger than usual.
What's going on? That wasn't enough, you want something even bigger?
Lin Shuang did some quick calculations. Bella's body length was around 100 meters, so there should be enough space for her to take a few steps.
"Hmm... it needs to be at least a kilometer in length and width, I plan to use it to house the Doomsday Beast."
But it's clear that the number Lin Shuang gave was still too abstract.
Master Gongshu was startled.
Does this person really know how much energy is consumed in a folded space that is one kilometer long, wide, and high?
This thing is far from small; just the power supply alone means that the cables connecting to it will have to be as thick as your arm.
"That big?! We can't do it."
Master Gongshu shook his head. These things are used on large machinery; who would put them on a person?
"Oh, that smaller one?"
"No... Miss Lin Shuang, please tell me why you wanted to impersonate a Doomsday Beast? If I remember correctly, that's a weapon of the Destruction Legion, right?"
As a member of the Crafting Division, and given the recent events involving Phantylia, it's clear that Master Gongshu has a good understanding of the Destruction Legion.
Who in their right mind would carry that thing around with them all the time?
"Yeah, Lin Shuang, are you in some trouble again? Tell me and let your auntie help you out~"
Qingque's curiosity was also piqued. She tilted her little head up, widened her eyes, and stared at Lin Shuang with blinking eyes.
He doesn't look like an adult.
"What...?"
Lin Shuang pursed her lips and briefly recounted what had happened at the Herta Space Station not long ago.
Of course, the involvement of the Stellaron Hunter was omitted; it was only said that a small Anti-Matter Legion had its eye on the Stellaron of the Space Station.
"Hiss-- Lin Shuang, are you really going to go head-to-head with the Anti-Matter Legion? Do you have a grudge against them?"
Qingque scratched her head, thinking that Lin Shuang had just finished plotting against Phantylia on the Xianzhou, and then went to the Space Station to steal their anti-satellite weapon.
Do you have such a deep grudge against the Anti-Matter Legion?
Master Gongshu, who happened to be a weapon maker, was also listening intently, his teeth chattering.
Therefore, he could understand the anger of having one's weapon taken away.
Last time I heard that Lin Shuang stole half of the body of the Lord Ravager, and this time she stole a star-level weapon from someone else.
That's incredibly insulting.
But as long as I feel emotional, I just can't do it.
Lin Shuang had no choice but to reduce the size and discuss it further.
As for Qingque, she said she was going to buy some Immortal's Joy Tea for Lin Shuang, and then she left.
Lin Shuang spent a long time discussing in Master Gongshu's workshop and finally settled on a preliminary plan.
During her break, Lin Shuang noticed an incongruous Emperor's Jade Table in the workspace.
And a pair of Emperor's Jade.
"Master Gongshu, is this something Qingque ordered?"
"Ouch... Ouch..."
Master Gongshu slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten that there was such a thing right here?
Lin Shuang turned around and looked at her in confusion.
