Chapter 3: All I want to do is leave first
When Card Making, Card Makers must concentrate. Whatever symbols appear in their minds, they write down. They mistakenly believe traditional Chinese characters to be certain symbols, and in the minds of most Card Makers, Star Cards can only be made randomly.
At this moment, Qi Shu was no exception. A few words suddenly appeared in his mind: 【One Hundred People Fart】. His hand unconsciously and smoothly wrote down the traditional Chinese version of these words.
Uh... could he say he didn't do it on purpose?
What others wanted was an attack card!
How could he have forgotten about that!
Qi Shu was already sweating profusely. He didn't know if this card could be used. He handed the card to the Snake Man.
The Snake Man was shocked, thinking, 'This guy writes so well!' The symbols on this card were written more clearly and beautifully than the previous Card Maker's!
He put on gloves, picked up the newly made Star Card, and placed it on the Star Card detector to play its effect.
After watching, the Snake Man turned to look at Qi Shu, dumbfounded.
Qi Shu was observing how to use the detector, but after seeing the playback effect... he felt a bit embarrassed to look.
Were the things in his mind really just about poop, pee, and farts?
Qi Shu was so embarrassed his face felt like it would crack.
"Uh, can I say... this was a mistake?"
"Holy moly! Brother! You wouldn't happen to be a genius, would you! An Intermediate Star Card! I see you're not very old, and your Mental Power isn't strong, so how could you make an Intermediate Star Card without even blinking?! You absolutely must keep this a secret, or you'll suffer later! Some powerful people like to enslave Card Makers!"
Qi Shu was held by his arm, and the snake on him was getting closer and closer, practically hissing at his face. "Uh, sorry, this kind of card is still..."
"I see this card can last for three minutes, and it's an Intermediate Star Card, so I'll give you two hundred thousand star coins according to market price." The Snake Man was truly very satisfied with this card; it was much more useful than those twenty people picking their noses earlier!
He had already imagined how interesting tomorrow's competition would be. He couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, releasing Qi Shu's shoulder. "Brother, I'm so glad I talked to you just now! Oh, right, how should I give you the star coins? Can you make more?"
"Not today, temporarily." The little Ability he had just stored was already depleted.
Ability could actually be used for Card Making; this was truly an unexpected surprise for him. He had originally thought that this body's Mental Power could be used, but its level was too low.
"Alright then, but you're really amazing, young and promising! May I be so bold as to add your contact information? You can ask me for any help, as long as it's within my capabilities!"
Intermediate Star Cards could be anonymous, so he didn't know the Card Maker's name. He felt that he and this Card Maker were destined!
He had a hunch just now that talking to this person might yield something! He didn't expect it to actually work out!
Moreover, he really didn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know this person.
"Then could you please help me get an anonymous terminal? And buy a ticket to the Capital Star." Preparing these two things shouldn't be difficult; the black market sold them and could offset the cost of the Star Card.
The original owner's terminal owed too much money, and any money transferred in would be deducted.
The Snake Man was slightly stunned by the words but didn't ask too many questions. He not only took Qi Shu to buy an anonymous terminal but also transferred two hundred thousand star coins into it. Finally, he helped him buy a spaceship ticket from a scalper for tomorrow afternoon's flight to the Capital Star.
Qi Shu: "..." Were there scalpers in the Interstellar era too?
"Thank you, I'm truly very grateful to you."
"You're welcome. Shall we add each other as friends using the anonymous terminal?"
"Okay." Qi Shu hadn't actually emerged from the imagined scene of 【One Hundred People Fart】. Thinking of it, he felt he shouldn't have laughed at those twenty people picking their noses earlier!
The Snake Man was still in an excited state. Outside the Capital Star, the chance of encountering a Card Maker was even lower than encountering an Interstellar superstar. Qi Shu had no idea how happy he was to meet someone who could make Star Cards!
This meant that in the future, if this brother had cards, he would prioritize asking him if he wanted them!
He raised his wrist terminal and tapped Qi Shu's terminal bracelet twice. Qi Shu, a bit unskillfully, accepted.
"I'll return those two hundred thousand star coins to you as soon as possible." Qi Shu thanked him again solemnly.
He was truly having a hard time, and also very lucky. In the black market, where there were all sorts of vicious people, he actually met someone like the Snake Man who was willing to trust him.
"No, no, helping you wasn't for nothing. In the future, when you have Star Cards, remember to consider me first. You don't need to return the money; consider it a gift from me."
The Snake Man had already spent more than two hundred thousand star coins helping him buy the terminal and spaceship ticket. Adding the two hundred thousand stored in the terminal, it was essentially double the price.
"Okay, I will."
Qi Shu felt a bit weak and listless now. After bidding farewell to the Snake Man, he found a black hotel in the black market to stay. After all, it was the Interstellar era, and there were cleaning robots everywhere, so the environment wasn't too bad; overall, it was acceptable.
After taking a shower and drinking a tube of nutrient solution, Qi Shu collapsed into sleep.
On the other side,
The true young master of Earl Xus Estate, Xu Baian, had already learned that the Mental Powers of the people sent to kill Qi Shu had been destroyed, and those people would all become brain-damaged! He would not only have to pay money but also support this group of brain-damaged people in the future!
He was so angry that he smashed everything in the room, only able to vent online and fabricate a few more scandals about Qi Shu running away from home and eloping.
He refused to believe that Qi Shu, a desperate and low-Mental Power waste, would have anyone willing to save him!
Since he dared to escape, he shouldn't let him be caught, otherwise... he would definitely kill this waste.
After posting on Star Blog, his fans immediately comforted him in the comments.
"Anan, don't be afraid! It's good that that malicious guy ran away; this way he won't bully you anymore!"
"So the reason he was unbetrothed was actually because he cheated? That's truly disgusting!"
"Poor Anan, your fiancé was originally yours, and besides, Slade is the Duke's son; Qi Shu is simply unworthy! His biological parents are just commoners."
"After the Poison King Qi sucked your family's blood, did he run off without paying it back? The Earls Residence is truly magnanimous."
The next morning, Qi Shu bought some nutrient solutions, two inconspicuous outfits, and an electronic mask in the black market before heading to the port.
After he showed his "black" ship ticket, the routine inspection personnel led him to a relatively narrow single cabin. It had a bed, a bathroom, and a toilet, but he couldn't go out and move around.
For stowaways like him who were avoiding pursuit, some spaceships willing to risk violating the law would also take them, clearing out places originally used for cargo for them to stay. The hurried Qi Shu had no mind to admire the scenery of the Interstellar port; his mind was entirely focused on leaving first.
