“There is still hope…”

Luo Bai stood up with difficulty and hurried through the crowded streets, his heart beating as fast as a drum. His steps were messy and he almost tripped himself. He had only one thought in his mind - he had to reach the station as soon as possible.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, sweat dripped from his forehead, blurring his vision, but he didn't bother to wipe it off.

The information at hand is enough to change everything.

Finally, he saw the familiar and simple buildings, and the flag of the garrison was fluttering in the wind.

"Number..." Luo Bai didn't bother to tidy up and rushed to the guard at the door.

He said, gasping for breath.

"The dead numbered people have cards in their hands."

When the guard at the garrison heard this, his mind buzzed and his eyes widened in sudden realization.

Everyone ignored the voices of the dead.

It just so happens that these dead people are most likely to hold the cards they are missing.

The guards exchanged glances and rushed to tell each other.

"Act immediately! Send out all search teams to search for every dead numbered civilian. We must find those cards!" The order was quickly passed down, and the garrison point immediately became busy.

"What? Number people?!"

"Damn it, we forgot about them..."

The soldiers quickly assembled and set out in groups, their footsteps raising dust and their eyes full of determination.

Luo Bai watched all this and finally felt a little relaxed. He found a corner to sit down, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes. His body was shaking from exhaustion, but he finally got a glimmer of hope.

"call--"

He let out a long breath and felt an unprecedented relief.

Even if it's just for a moment.

I have been so busy these days that it seems like I have never stopped.

The punishment of superconducting waves is hanging above.

Panic, despair, running around, and solving the problem.

There is not even a few minutes to mourn the dead.

"Hopefully their sacrifice will not be in vain."

Luo Bai sat on the ground, looking up at the sky, his eyes trembling slightly.

There is still half an hour left, and according to the previous agreement, he should return to the meeting to make a decision.

Build a deck, simulate Konpo, check the intelligence of the God Pharaoh, consider all possibilities...

There are many, many more things.

But I’m so tired, really so tired.

He didn't want to move anymore.

I just want to sit here, empty my mind, and look up at the stars.

"Hey——" A childish voice interrupted Luo Bai's comfort.

Luo Bai was startled and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Not far away, stood a boy about ten years old.

"My name is Xiaoyu." The boy's voice was sonorous and powerful, mixed with a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.

He had slightly messy hair and dark skin. He was wearing an ill-fitting, baggy old T-shirt with several stains on it, his jeans had patches on the knees, and he had a homemade tool bag tied around his waist.

It contained his scavenging tools - a knife, a pair of pliers, some plastic bags and some ropes.

The status of the barbarians is between the numbered people and the citizens.

They have no supercomputing rings and no citizenship, but are freer than the numbered people and make a living by scavenging.

Luo Bai was stunned and couldn't help but recall the researcher [Bai] in his memory.

When he was a child, he also made a living by picking up rubbish. Later, he met Philina and teachers Tony.

Unfortunately, not all the wastelanders will meet their own 0325.

The young man in front of me has no one around him.

Only——

In his right hand he held an iron pipe.

Holding a book in his left hand.

Very strange combination.

"What's wrong?" Luo Bai asked in a muffled voice.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and said, "Are you looking for a normal monster with 1 Starlight attribute Angel?"

"That's right." Luo Bai replied in surprise.

"I have two." Xiaoyu said with a hint of nervousness, "[Heart Key Fairy] and [Youyou]."

"you--"

He hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Can you trade me a rare card?"

When Luo Bai heard this, he looked the child up and down, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

The news that the numbered citizens hold the card has just spread.

This guy named Xiaoyu came to ask for the price.

"You've had these cards for a long time, and you know we need them." Luo Bai said slowly.

"I deliberately didn't take it out."

"I just want to wait for others to get anxious and find an opportunity to exchange for rare cards."

"Now we also know that the card is in the hands of the numbered citizen."

"You can't sit still, so you're in a hurry to come to me for a deal."

"At such a young age..." He sighed deeply, feeling a little melancholy.

"Just learn to wait for the right price..."

When Xiaoyu heard these words, he was stunned.

"As expected of you, my Lord..."

He never expected that the other party would reveal his entire plan just a few minutes after they met.

"Trading with you would only harm you." Luo Bai said with a wry smile.

"It will give you unrealistic fantasies."

"Blackmail only works for honest people like me."

"I want to be a bully."

"I'll just kill you and take your card."

Xiaoyu lowered his head and agreed with what he said. After all, many of his companions died in fights like this.

His eyes lost their luster, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and he turned around and prepared to leave.

"You can change your request to something of equal value." Luo Bai interrupted him.

[Heart Key Fairy] and [Youyou] are definitely not as valuable as rare cards.

"An equivalent request?" Xiaoyu was stunned.

How valuable are [Heart Key Fairy] and [Youyou]?

As a barren citizen, he knew at the first moment that these cards were in the hands of the numbered people.

Originally they wanted to take advantage of the information gap that Luo Bai and his group had forgotten the numbers to hype up the market, but now that they have been discovered, these cards have returned to their original value, which means they are worth nothing.

It is definitely impossible to exchange the item.

"That--"

He thought for a while, looked at Luo Bai, and asked in confusion: "You can read, right?"

"Can you read it for me?"

"Chapter 22..."

Xiaoyu puffed his lips and showed the book in his hand.

Biantana's Bible - "Dueling Fairy Tales".

"Study." Luo Bai murmured softly.

The inhabitants of the barbaric region have no right to education.

He smiled slightly, became interested, and felt relieved: "Okay."

"Is it really possible?" Xiaoyu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and his face showed the cuteness that a child should have.

He quickly put away the steel pipe and tied it behind his back, then excitedly came over and sat down next to Luo Bai.

“Here, here…”

"The storyteller got impatient after reading this..."

Xiaoyu was like a crazy fan of the book. He turned the pages skillfully and pointed at specific lines with a little grievance.

By the dim firelight.

Luo Bai gently stroked the books with his hands, feeling a little emotional.

The book cover is made of old leather, with traces of time carving deep textures on it. An ancient badge is embedded in it, with worn edges and fine carvings, like the symbol of an ancient family or the mark of a dynasty.

Half an hour before challenging God.

He did not prepare for any duel, but sat down and read to a barbarian he had never met.

The table of contents of the book is clear at a glance.

Unified title: XXX's Duel.

This is a collection of stories, not novels.

A total of 25 duels, a total of -

Luo Bai instinctively wanted to turn to the end to see how many pages there were in total.

“Only half a page at the end?”

He looked at Xiaoyu in confusion and asked the reason.

"It seems that it was originally just half a page." Xiaoyu said with pouting lips.

Luo Bai frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the last few lines of text on the page.

The author of "Dueling Fairy Tales" leaves a question at the end of the book.

"What does it take to be the strongest duelist?"

"Champion of multiple competitions?"

"First place in some ranking event?"

"Or have you never lost a game?"

"What does it mean to be the strongest? Who dares to claim to be undefeated?"

This is a very discussed topic.

It makes people very curious.

The author seemed to give his own opinion in the second half of the page, but unfortunately it was torn off.

"You're a jerk." Luo Bai scolded.

When he reads books, he hates those that stop writing halfway.
