MTL - Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain

  Chapter 221 The wronged Duan Feng

   A dark space.

  There is no sense of touch on the body, and the annoying metallic texture occasionally appears in the perception, probably because the doctor is touching himself.

  Duan Feng's consciousness is floating here.

  Here... probably counted as his consciousness space.

  He actually didn't know, because since he grew up, he rarely came here—after all, it was the first time he encountered such a thing as being knocked out.

  Losing... It wasn't a dream, I really lost, and I lost so embarrassingly that I was knocked out directly, which is not decent at all.

  Since he was born, such an experience seems to be the first time.

  If I tried my best from the beginning...

  Duan Feng fell silent.

   There was only silence in the darkness, and he could almost hear his own heartbeat clearly.

   I don't know how long it took before he chuckled.

   Forget it, he can't lie to himself.

  If you can't win, you can't win. There's no need to make excuses like this... I've tried my best, and the so-called full strength is just adding Aqiu, but if I say this, how has Yu Cang ever used his full strength?

You must know that in this duel, Yu Cang watched the battle for a long time with full soul energy, and the number of dragon scales on the field was even more abundant. Although at the beginning of the game, Yu Cang was indeed in trouble, But after that, Yu Cang has been able to handle things with ease.

   Even thinking about it now, at the beginning of the game, Yu Cang might have a way to break the game at any time... After all, his dragon scales can activate the existence of that kind of "fusion" power.

  There are already six dragon scales on the field at the beginning, even if he doesn't summon the Sacred Sage, Yu Cang must have a backup.

What's more... In the end, he stimulated the critical mass·maximum value and manipulated the Chaotic Convection move inspired by the Contradictory Dragon of Light and Darkness. He had already used Aqiu's power. That blow was already his own full strength, but it still failed. A little suspense.

   Even, his own deck was continuously improved by countless senior card creators, while Yu Cang's deck was made by himself... Thinking about it this way, the gap seems to be even bigger.

  Myself, I lost completely... As Yu Cang said, I was beaten up by him.

  Duan Feng recalled what Duan Zhang once said to himself in his mind.

   "Feng'er, don't always think about comparing yourself with your peers."

   "You are the one who wants to ascend to the mythology. Sooner or later, they will be trampled under your feet. It's fine to be friends, but don't make friends."

   "Have you finished reading "Emperor Chang'an Biography"?"

   “That’s who you want to be.”

  …

   "Heh." Duan Feng chuckled.

   Just now, you should have been watching too, you saw that I lost.

   Now, still dreaming what kind of myth I will become.

  … also, you don't care about such things.

  In addition to your family, your "career", you don't care about anything.

  So what if I lose?

The next day, what he heard outside must still be the news of his victory, Duan Zhang's plan will still be carried out in an orderly manner, every step of his way forward has been predetermined in advance, he can't choose what he wants anything.

  …

  Duan Feng couldn't help clenching his fist.

  Myth? Shit!

  Just because of the same talent, do I have to walk the same path to become the same person?

  He wants to become a myth, but that is his, Duan Feng, his own future, not the dream you gave me!

  Why do you all think that I can only become a myth with this accompanying soul?

  If you really think so, why didn’t you just drown Duan Feng and let Aqiu be that other person’s shadow? !

  …

   "Peak?"

  Duan Feng's heart trembled.

   A familiar voice came from behind, and he recognized that it was Aqiu's voice and his own.

   "Feng, is this why you have been unwilling to fight with me?"

   "..."

   "Turn around."

  Duan Feng took a deep breath, did not turn around, but opened his eyes.

   It was pitch black in front of her eyes, but there was a faint light coming from behind, which was the light of the soul.

  He remembered that when he was young, before he had read "The Biography of Emperor Chang'an", before he knew so many things, he often came to play in the consciousness space.

  Because at that time, only here, he could see his only friend.

   In a trance, some pictures seemed to flash in front of my eyes.

  …

"Who are you?"

   "I'm Duan Feng."

   "You are talking nonsense, I am Duan Feng!"

  The young Duan Feng looked at the soul floating in front of his eyes, his eyes were full of curiosity.

   This guy... looks like those ghosts that eat people in the book.

  But it's so strange why I'm not afraid of him.

  Mingming was terrified when he read those stories.

   "I'm not a ghost!" Aqiu said angrily, "I'm you! How can anyone be afraid of themselves?"

   "Huh? Can you hear what I'm thinking?"

   "This is our inner world, of course I can hear it."

   "Hmm... okay." Duan Feng scratched his head.

   I don't know why, but when Aqiu said "I am you", he believed it easily in his heart.

   "But I can't call you Duan Feng...it's so weird."

   "Then what do you want to call me?"

   "Well, let me think about it... By the way, Dad said that there are many small hills near every mountain. How about I call you Duanqiu?"

   "No." Aqiu pouted.

   "Then I'll call you Aqiu, so you'll look closer~" Duan Feng naturally knew what Aqiu was thinking.

   "Well... well, then I will call you Feng."

   "Sure!" Duan Feng smiled.

   This is his first friend.

  …

   A long time passed without knowing it.

  Aqiu didn't know when he could come out of the consciousness space and move freely.

   I don't know when Duan Feng has never returned to this space of consciousness.

   "No." Duan Feng denied, "I just feel that the opponents I meet don't need your help."

   "…I can hear what you're thinking now."

  Duan Feng pouted secretly: "Then you still ask me."

"For such a childish reason?" Qiu seemed annoyed, "Do you know how long I've been in this stupid place? Do you know how much I wish I could have another fight? You're wishful thinking, you're unfettered Now, free, what about me? You can go anywhere in the world, but I only have this dark space to stay in! Do you know how I have lived these past few years?"

  Duan Feng was silent.

  His eyes seemed to flicker, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

  In the end, he could only speak softly with a very small voice:

   "I'm sorry...but I said, there will be a day, there will be..."

   "Duan Feng, I can hear what you are thinking now."

   "..."

  Aqiu walked around in front of Duan Feng, but Duan Feng just lowered his head silently and didn't look at Aqiu.

   "Duan Feng, I am you. If you don't even want to look directly at yourself, why are you talking about promoting yourself to the myth?"

   "That's someone else's way..."

   "Why, does Di Chang'an also have a Qiu in his mind?"

   "..."

   "Is it because you have called the name Aqiu for too long, so long that you have forgotten it." Aqiu approached, "My name is also Duan Feng?"

  Duan Feng was speechless, his lips squirmed for a long time before he said: "Give me a little more time... I will definitely find the right way..."

   "..."

  This time, Ah Qiu was silent.

   After a while, he chuckled.

   "Forget it." Aqiu took a few steps back, "Feng, I will be away for a while."

   "Leave?" Duan Feng's eyes widened all of a sudden, he raised his head, seemingly unbelievable, "But you are my companion soul...where can you go?"

   "Didn't you already hear it?" Aqiu's face has calmed down, "I'm going to Jieying Campus, there is what I want... I can't just do nothing while I'm waiting for you."

   "But you are my companion soul, where can you go..."

   "Don't worry." Aqiu said, "Jieying Campus is a place where the eyes meet. There is no concept of distance in the usual sense. As long as I enter the Jieying Campus in the ancient capital, no matter where you go, you will not be affected."

   "Yes, yes..."

   "Anyway, you can't use me."

   Seeing Duan Feng suddenly at a loss, Ah Qiu really felt a little funny.

   Yu Cang was right.

  Feng never realized what it was like to lose himself.

   "Yu Cang? Why are you thinking about him?" Duan Feng was completely panicked, "Wait, tell me clearly, what do you mean I will lose you?"

   "I never said that." Aqiu restrained his expression and his thoughts.

   "I can hear what you're thinking!"

   "You heard it wrong." Aqiu said with a blank expression.

  Jieying Campus is indeed a good place.

  If there, it should be able to do it.

  Hmph, I should have done this a long time ago... Yu Cang is indeed much better than Feng.

   Ah Qiu thought so in his heart, Duan Feng was completely panicked when he heard this.

  Wait, what the **** do you mean? !

  What does it mean that Yu Cang is much better than himself...Damn it, he only beat me once, what do you mean by that?

  If it comes to card making...it's broken, it seems that I can't compare it with myself, not to mention that my card making level actually comes from Aqiu.

  Thinking about it this way, he seems to be inferior to Yu Cang except for his family background...With Duan Feng's pride, he naturally disdains to crush Yu Cang by his background, but this made him even more panicked.

  He looked at the sneering Aqiu, he didn't know what to say.

  You don't want to abandon yourself, go to Yu Cang's side... Impossible, you are my companion soul! You can't live without me!

  Duan Feng's heart ached.

  Wait, he said just now that Jieying Campus should be able to do it...Damn it, you should explain clearly what it can do!

  Suddenly, Duan Feng thought wildly in his heart. For the first time, he felt a sense of fear.

  Aqiu, but his only friend!

   Since childhood, Duan Zhang has strict requirements on his social circle. He can have friends, but those friends have to go through layers of screening before they can be contacted by him.

  What they want is the status of "friend", not to be his friend of Duan Feng.

   It’s okay to talk and play together, but whenever he wants to have a deep friendship, play better, and have some "brothers"... those so-called friends will immediately keep secret, and there will be no more.

  There are plenty of solutions

  Except for Ah Qiu, who else is willing to talk to Duan Feng.

  From childhood, Aqiu has always been by his side, making him used to Aqiu's existence. He never thought that he would lose Aqiu...except today, except now.

  So, he could no longer maintain his usual calmness and confidence. He took a few steps forward and was about to question Aqiu, when he saw Aqiu trembling and disappeared in place.

  In an instant, the words that had reached his lips had no one to confide in, and Duan Feng froze in place for a moment, the space of consciousness was dark and empty, turning into an indelible emptiness that surrounded him.

   "Ah...Aqiu?" Duan Feng asked tentatively.

   "Aqiu?...Aqiu!"

  …

  In the ward.

   Open!

  Duan Feng opened his eyes in an instant, and stood up from the bed.

   "Aqiu—"

  Duan Feng suddenly stopped.

  He looked to the side, Duan Ao and a doctor were standing beside him, and behind him, there were many members of the Duan family, including some young-looking nurses.

  Seeing this scene, although Duan Feng was already covered in cold sweat, he quickly calmed down and his expression regained his composure.

   It's not that he wants to put on airs.

   Rather, he knows... As a "myth of the future", once he makes a fool of himself in front of outsiders, showing an inappropriate look like he is now...then those who see this scene will not have a good end.

  It’s okay if it’s other places, Duan Zhang doesn’t have that deep control, and the situation is not that serious, but now, his second uncle is present.

  He is very clear, don't look at Duan Ao who is kind on the surface, but behind the scenes he can be called cruel and paranoid.

  Whether Duan Ao will take action against those unfamiliar doctors because of his ugly appearance, he is not sure, and he is not in the mood to gamble.

   "How's Feng'er?" Duan Ao leaned forward, with a concerned expression on his face, anyone who came would think that this was just a kind elder.

   "...I'm fine, let's all go out."

   "That's good, that's good...You guys, you have nothing to do here, go out."

  The members of the Duan family nodded and walked out together. The doctor was also very sensible, put away his things, and was about to leave.

  Duan Feng raised his eyes and looked at Duan Ao: "There is also you, go out too."

   "...Hahaha, Feng'er really knows how to joke." Duan Ao laughed a few times, and sat down beside the hospital bed, "You just called...Aqiu? Why, did you have a conflict?"

"No."

   "Speaking of which, at the end of the duel." Duan Ao narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was an inexplicable coldness in his smile, "Aqiu... didn't follow your order?"

   "Nothing." Duan Feng frowned slightly, "Did you use the shield again?"

  Duan Ao still had a smile on his face: "Of course...but it's for the doctor's examination, and I can't help it."

   "...Okay." Duan Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

  Fortunately... Aqiu was temporarily disconnected because of the jammer, he thought it was really Aqiu who didn't want to talk to him.

"But...Feng'er." The smile on Duan Ao's face subsided slightly, "It's time for you to make a choice... Di Chang'an has been reluctant to show up to accept you as a disciple, which in itself can explain the problem, why not just... "

   "I said, no need." Duan Feng's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew what Duan Ao was going to say, "Aqiu is just my companion soul."

  He knew that the family had always had concerns about his talent.

   It is said that when he was born, a mysterious person appeared and said that he would have the talent of companion soul, which is rare in a thousand years, and wanted to take him as a disciple.

  But how could Duan Zhang easily trust such a person, so he didn't agree.

  Who knew it would be like this after birth, and when Duan Zhang went back to look for it, that person had long since disappeared.

  So Duan Zhang has always had a thorn in his heart.

  The accompanying soul, Ah Qiu...could it be a trick set up by that mysterious person, who wanted to use Duan Feng's body to do some ulterior things?

   After all, except for Di Changan, no one knows what the talent of a companion soul should look like, and no one can be sure that Ah Qiu is really Duan Feng's companion soul.

   Gathering forces in the name of Duan Feng, and laying out layers, also meant to fight against the mysterious person.

After all, if Duan Feng's talent is fake, then the Duan family will invest resources all the way, and if the mysterious person picks the peaches, they will lose money completely. There will also be this power, and there will be no loss.

   When the general trend is established, Duan Feng's name is not important - the real vested interests are still the Duan family.

When Duan Feng was just born, Duan Zhang once applied to meet with Emperor Chang'an and asked about the talent of companion soul, but was rejected. All is known.

  Furthermore, the mysterious person may not be afraid of the Duan family, but now that the four major families are united, the mysterious person must weigh carefully if he wants to pick peaches—after all, it is equivalent to touching everyone's cake.

   This was made by Duan Zhang, who thought it would be the most profitable decision for the family. If not, he would not want his children to be involved in so many troubles.

  As for this blocker...it is a means to temporarily block the perception of the companion soul.

   "Feng'er." Duan Ao said, "Don't lie to Second Uncle, at the end, Aqiu was clearly disobeying your orders... Why don't we choose a safer method and directly refine this so-called companion soul..."

   "I said it." Duan Feng did not hesitate, "I will not agree to this proposal."

   "...Okay. It doesn't matter. If you change your mind, you can talk to the second uncle at any time."

   "Don't worry about it."

   "Okay." Duan Ao sighed, "By the way, Fenger, when you are in good condition, remember to tell me, I will arrange for you to meet Yu Cang."

  Duan Feng was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood.

   One battle to wipe out all grievances... The duel is over, and it will be time to "smash all grievances".

   Just in time... He wanted to ask Yu Cang what kind of nonsense he was talking to Ah Qiu!

  Looking at Duan Feng whose expression changed slightly, Duan Ao sighed.

   "Feng'er." He said, "It doesn't matter if you lose this time, I will ask the card maker to study Yu Cang's duel video as soon as possible. Next time, your deck will definitely beat him!"

"Uh-huh?"

  Duan Feng was taken aback.

  He looked at Duan Ao, and said with some uncertainty: "I... lost?"

"Yeah." Duan Ao seemed a little hard to say, "Feng'er... well, this time the competition between you has attracted a lot of attention, and Yu Cang's status is also very special, so it's not easy for us to directly declare that you won...you Don't feel stressed,"

  The Yanhuang Medal is too heavy, even if Ye Lai has already slashed to the imperial capital, Duan Zhang has to hold his nose and swallow this breath.

  No move, no trouble.

  Hearing this, Duan Feng froze in place.

  This time... I really lost?

   Heh...haha...hahahahaha!

   Under Duan Ao's inexplicable eyes, Duan Feng suddenly laughed, and his voice became louder and more cheerful!

   Okay, okay... It turns out that winning or losing this time is not meaningless.

  Duanzhang, I finally met someone who makes you miserable!

  For the first time, he finally felt that his own life had taken a step by himself. Although he lost and might embarrass himself in some circles, he was very happy.

  From his immutable future, he finally saw a trace of fluctuation.

  Yu Cang...It seems that you are more powerful than you imagined.

  He suddenly felt a tinge of gratitude to Cang, but immediately felt even more aggrieved.

   No, I appreciate what he does!

  He wants to take away his Aqiu! What, you have to let me thank you?

   Dreaming!

  Duan Feng gritted his teeth silently in his heart, but on the surface, his smile was slightly restrained.

   "Huh?" Looking at Duan Feng with this expression, Duan Ao blinked, somewhat puzzled.

   But... it's okay, as long as there is no pressure.

  So he stood up: "Alright, Fenger, then I won't disturb your rest."

   "Remove the shield."

   "Don't worry, I will."

   Duan Ao left the room.

   Half a sound.

  The air twisted for a while, and Aqiu's figure appeared beside the bed.

   "...What are you talking about again?" Aqiu's face showed no expression.

   "Still the same, normal physical examination." Duan Feng uncovered this, and then asked eagerly, "Aqiu, tell me, what did Yu Cang tell you?"

   "..." Aqiu seemed to sigh, "Feng, Yu Cang has a card making technology that surpasses the times, and I'm going to learn it."

  Duan Feng hurriedly said: "Then you won't..."

   "Won't what?"

   "No, no." Duan Feng seemed to be having a hard time opening his mouth. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time before saying, "You won't leave me, will you?"

"…Ah."

  Duan Feng was anxious: "You...you can't do this, you are my only friend!"

   "You're less childish." Aqiu snorted.

  He pushed Duan Feng back to the hospital bed: "You are also my only friend."

  Hearing this, Duan Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression was overjoyed. He was about to say something when he heard Aqiu say again:

   "However, you haven't considered my feelings for so long, so this time, you can't expect me to care about you—I will stay in Jieying Campus, and come to me when you really recognize yourself."

   "Then I will stay in the ancient capital..."

   "I won't see you if you stay here." Aqiu said, "If you continue like this, you will always be so childish."

   "...What are you doing?" Duan Feng's eyes widened a little, looking at Ah Qiu with this tone, a sense of unreasonable grievance gradually accumulated in his heart.

  He held back and didn't show it, "How can you say I'm naive..."

   "Hehe." Aqiu laughed.
