After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 143 Puppet Master! New Character Card Entries
……

and many more! ?
Sheng Yixia suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

When the branch chief tore through the space just now, he was in the state of a phantom musician holding a sanxian in his hand.

Could it be that the branch chief saw through the illusionist and was actually himself in alias?

No, this might be a test.

It’s hard to say how amazing Sheng Yixia’s acting skills are now, but with the blessing of a lot of practical acting experience, her acting skills are actually not inferior to those of ordinary actors of the same age, and she can even perform beyond her normal level when she encounters the right role.

Sheng Yixia was immediately stunned: "Director, what are you talking about? I just..."

"Ha." The branch chief laughed and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "Alright, I don't care about your little tricks, and I won't try to find out what secrets you have. I just want to make sure you are one of us."

Sheng Yixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the branch director had guessed something, but she probably wasn't completely sure.

"By the way, do you still want to watch it? I'm giving you some benefits because of your great contribution." The branch director narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't like it, I'll keep it."

Can you do this?

After all, Sheng Yixia is a young man with vigorous energy. How could he not be curious?

He subconsciously raised his head to glance up secretly, but before he could take a closer look, he was slapped on the head by her.

She laughed and scolded, "You are so brave, you really dare to look at it."

As she spoke, she pulled her windbreaker closer and wrapped herself tightly.

Sheng Yixia's head was buzzing from the beating, and she felt aggrieved. Didn't you ask me to see this?

However, just that quick glimpse and the scene he saw made Sheng Yixia a little shocked.

There seemed to be a wound about 20 centimeters long on her left rib, and it seemed that it had not been treated in time and was just frozen with frost.

This wound was not there when I observed it with the Illusionist before.

"Director, are you okay with your injury?" Sheng Yixia changed the subject.

"My name is Ning Ou, you can just call me Sister Ning or Sister Ou." Ning Ou said calmly, "Just now I wanted to hurry up and get rid of that Dusk Vanguard so that I could spare some time to support you, so I paid some price and took some risks. However, I didn't expect you to end the battle inside so quickly, and prevent the Son of Dusk from returning to the world. You, especially you, did a great job."

After all, the Dusk Herald is an A-level monster, and even if it is injured, it is not so easy to deal with. If Ning Ou spends some time to slowly kill it, it will naturally not be a big problem, but what she lacks most now is time.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Ou, but I was just protecting myself." Sheng Yixia said helplessly, "If we don't get rid of it, the whole H city will suffer."

"That's right, we were just protecting ourselves." Ning Ou nodded and said, "But no matter what, you have done a great job in this matter. After resolving this crisis, I believe that H City will be much more peaceful in the future, and I can feel more at ease on the other side."

Seeing that this matter was being discussed, Sheng Yixia also hurriedly raised her doubts: "Sister Ou, where are you fighting? How did you tear open the space and come here!?"

"The gap in the four-dimensional space." Ning Ou said succinctly, "The physical distance between the star realm and us in the three-dimensional level is unknown, but in the four-dimensional space level, we are getting closer to each other."

"The closer the two sides are, the weaker the boundary curtain will be. Then the real Sons of Dusk will be able to descend in person. They are not the weaklings you defeated today!"

"When the two sides officially overlap, the boundary curtain will be as thin as a piece of paper, and the true bodies of those evil gods can directly descend into our world."

"However, there is still some distance between the two sides. The evil gods or those powerful astral supernatural beings are blocked by the curtain and cannot come over. But they will make some small moves and try to create some gaps in the boundary so that they can send some relatively low-level supernatural beings over, such as [Dusk Pioneer] and the like."

Sheng Yixia's heart shuddered.

Sure enough, such a powerful Dusk Vanguard is only relatively low-level?
It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic.

"So, you have to grow up as quickly as possible. When you reach A-level, you can help me." Ning Ou said, "Promise me that you won't let me fight alone over there for too long, okay?"

Sheng Yixia looked serious and nodded heavily: "I will."

"Very spirited." Ning Ou praised with a smile, "Seeing young people like you grow up so quickly gives me the confidence to hold on."

"There is one more thing. In order to better select young talents with A-level potential and allocate resources, our Xiadong Branch will hold a competition for the top ten outstanding young people in the area. I believe you will definitely get at least one place."

Ten outstanding young people?

Sheng Yixia was a little confused: "Sister Ou, the magician is a common extraordinary person, can he also participate in the competition?"

"Is there any difference?" Ning Ou chuckled and said, "Whether it's the civilians or the officials, we are all part of the united front. As the saying goes, if the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be broken. With the enemy at hand, only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we have a chance to survive."

"Of course, this is limited to the extraordinary people within the jurisdiction of the Xiadong Branch. I am also following my lead. Let's take care of our own little piece of land first, and then support other war zones when we have spare capacity."

Sheng Yixia understood what the branch director meant. He had to stabilize the situation in the Xiadong area first, and even gain a certain advantage in the initial operations, before he could snowball. Otherwise, the situation in the Xiadong branch would deteriorate and it would only become a burden to other branches.

Ning Ou asked again: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No more." Sheng Yixia shook his head.

The support branch director is a matter for the future. Now he also needs to manage his own piece of land well and grow up as quickly as possible. Only when he is stronger can he have more initiative.

"Well, it's almost time." Ning Ou nodded, "I should go."

With that, the two got out of the car.

"Sister Ou, I have some crab shell roe here. You can take some and try them." Sheng Yixia took out a bag of dozens of crab shell roe and stuffed it into Ning Ou's hands.

Ning Ou put away the gift, then looked up at the sky, suddenly pulled Sheng Yixia over, and took advantage of the opportunity when he was caught off guard to give him a kiss.

Under his stunned stare, Ning Ou smacked her lips and said, "Young handsome guys are really sweet. Why are you staring at me? I'm just too bored and empty up there. It's a rare opportunity for me to come down. Can't you let me have some fun?"

Sheng Yixia was speechless for a moment.

After Ning Ou finished speaking, he pushed off his feet and leapt directly into the air, quickly reaching a height of more than a hundred meters. Then he tore open a gap in the curtain with both hands, revealing a world of endless darkness on the other side.

Ning Ou, with a head full of white hair, dived forward without hesitation.

The cracks in the curtain quickly began to heal. Faintly, one could hear the roars of some monsters coming from the other side, as well as Ning Ou's slightly crazy laughter: "Hehehe~ Little cuties, I've only been gone for a while and you can't wait? Come on, come on, sister, let me play with you."

Hearing this voice, Sheng Yixia's mind subconsciously tensed up.

But soon, the crack in the curtain healed, leaving no trace in the sky, and everything returned to calm.

But Sheng Yixia deeply understood that this so-called calmness was nothing more than someone moving forward with a heavy burden.

For a moment, his heart felt heavy as if a stone was pressing on it.

And at the same time.

In a nearby medical vehicle, Tank and Phantom Fox, who were receiving intravenous drips, happened to see this scene through the window.

Then, the two of them looked at each other.

Did the police chief just now molest Sheng Yixia?

Why?

I, Tank, and I, Phantom Fox, can also give everything for the branch director.

at the same time.

Zhou Fei, who had already been injected with some nutrients and eaten some crab shell roe, came over and patted Sheng Yixia on the shoulder with a tired look on her face: "Leave it to us from now on. You are tired today, so go back and rest early."

"Sister Ou, she..." Sheng Yixia looked up at the quiet night sky, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Only after we are promoted to A-level and have mastered a little bit of the laws of heaven, can we help her. It's useless to think too much now." Zhou Fei said seriously, "You have done very well, go back and rest."

"it is good."

Sheng Yixia also knew that improving strength was not something that could be rushed, so he didn't think about it any more and said goodbye to everyone and prepared to go back.

When he walked out of the construction site, he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a shadow in the corner. The next moment, Sheng Yingjun rushed over from the dark corner and threw himself into Sheng Yixia's arms.

Sheng Yixia took a closer look and found that it had a D-level gray-black irregular crystal core in its mouth. She didn't know whether it was dropped by HS013 or exploded by some Dusk cultist.

Yingjun threw the crystal core into Sheng Yixia's arms, meowing with a proud look as if saying "Look, look, I've done a great job."

"Uh..." Sheng Yixia picked up the crystal core and said with some doubt, "Did you steal someone's spoils?"

He brought Yingjun with him today and placed it outside the construction site for patrol and guard. Unexpectedly, this thing also brought back a crystal core.

"Meow." Yingjun looked unhappy and barked at him "Awooo awooo" in an accusing manner.

Sheng Yixia roughly understood that this was the spoils it deserved for cooperating with humans to chase the enemy.

That being said.

Sheng Yixia still asked the special agents for information.

Soon, he found the person involved.

Several special agents identified Yingjun and said that when the workers were escorted away, the cult members hiding inside took advantage of the chaos and rioted, causing the group to flee in all directions.

When their special forces team was chasing two cult members, they were nearly ambushed by them in a dark alley not far away. Fortunately, a wild cat suddenly appeared and disrupted the opponent's arrangement.

After an exchange of fire, they killed the two cult members. When they were about to pick up the two precipitated crystal cores, the wild cat appeared again and took away one of the crystal cores. Because the cat was too fast, they could not catch up with it, so they had to give up the pursuit.

These special agents were still racking their brains over how to write the report afterwards when Sheng Yixia came over.

"I see." Sheng Yixia touched his handsome head, "So, my cat should indeed get a crystal core."

"Ouch~~" Sheng Yingjun responded proudly.

Sheng Yixia was also quite pleased about this. She didn't expect Yingjun to be getting smarter and smarter. He knew that those special agents were friendly forces and knew how to cooperate with them in combat. After everyone understood the situation, they were amazed and called their friends to watch Yingjun. Many people even asked him to hold Yingjun and take a photo with them, and posted it in the Guofei Bureau group to show off.

The special forces expressed their envy, saying that if they also had such an extraordinary cat, the safety of their missions would be greatly increased.

And this time.

Tank, who saw the message in the group, also ran over with an IV bottle in hand to watch, and was equally envious: "Yixia, can you lend me your cat? The most annoying thing for our team is the search work, and this cat can also be responsible for vigilance."

"I see." Sheng Yixia thought for a moment and said, "Yingjun is also a member of Earth, so in principle, there shouldn't be any problem."

Tank immediately understood what he meant, and patted his chest and said, "I will treat it as a member of the team, and the rewards will be deposited into your account."

"That's no problem." Sheng Yixia immediately stretched out her hand and shook his hand, indicating that they had reached an agreement. Then she handed the D-level crystal core to Tank and asked him to exchange it for two D-level evolution potions.

Usually one D-grade crystal core can be purified to make three D-grade evolution potions, but when converted into points, it can only be exchanged for two, one of which is converted into other materials and production costs.

After Sheng Yixia removed all his cards, he was actually just a D-level extraordinary person. Now this level of potion was just right for him and Yingjun to use.

After this incident, whenever Sheng Yixia looked at Yingjun again, her eyes became much gentler, as if her rebellious son had finally grown up and could earn money to support the family.

At Tank's request, Yingjun simply stayed at the scene to help the National Non-Government Affairs Bureau continue to deal with subsequent matters.

After all, although Chu Zhengming is dead now, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done. Apart from anything else, this Demon Cave must be checked inside and out several times, right?

When Sheng Yixia returned home, it was almost twelve o'clock.

My mom, who doesn’t stay up late, has gone to bed long ago, but my dad is still sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, watching the latest episode of “I Am Not a Lawyer.”

On the coffee table in front of him was a small plate of salted peanuts, a bottle of Wuliangye, and a small wine glass filled with wine. While watching the drama, he would take a sip from time to time with relish.

Dad Sheng didn't know how long it had been since he had such a little indulgence in his life. He had a lot of things to do in his daily life, so how could he have the time to relax and enjoy himself?
But he was afraid of disturbing his mother, so he turned the TV volume very low.

"Yixia is back... Hey, where's our Yingjun?" The father noticed at first glance that his son didn't come back with the cat bag.

Of course Sheng Yixia couldn't say that it was out for business to make money, so she could only say that her friend liked it and wanted to stay overnight in Yingjun for a few days. Then she went back to her room, took a shower, changed into pajamas, came back and sat next to Lao Deng, took out his Wuliangye and poured herself two taels of it, which she drank in one gulp.

The hot wine went down his throat, and after a few seconds, he exhaled a breath of foul air.

This was not the first time he had seen dead people during this period. In fact, he had killed quite a few cultists with his own hands.

But the scale of today's battle is not on the same level as the previous ones. Although the results are brilliant, the fighting situation is also very tragic.

According to statistics afterwards, a total of one C-level, two D+-level, three D-level, and twenty-seven special service members were sacrificed today. Many others were injured, and quite a few may become disabled.

Sheng Yixia himself didn't know, as the situation became worse and worse, whether he would see Tank, Phantom Fox, Zhou Fei, or even the branch chief die in front of him. It could even be said that he was not sure whether he would die in front of them.

This made him feel deeply powerless.

This feeling of powerlessness was particularly evident when Sister Ou tore open the space and entered the boundary gap alone to fight the monsters.

Seeing Sheng Yixia like this, Lao Deng's expression instantly became serious, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he pushed the peanuts in front of his son.

When Sheng Yixia was eating peanuts, Sheng Laodeng poured him another two taels of wine.

Sheng Yixia picked up the wine glass and drank it in another gulp.

Sheng Laodeng then patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter what happened, you are the best son in my heart."

As he spoke, he also drank two cups of wine.

Afterwards, Sheng Yixia also poured him a glass: "Dad, is this the first time we drink like this?"

"Yeah, you were still young a few years ago, so I didn't dare let you drink." Sheng Laodeng burped and quickly grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth to suppress the drunkenness.

"Dad, you missed one drink."

"You can't say that. I drank it before you came back."

"Then let's go..."

"Dad, where do you keep fish?"

And then, nothing happened... Ten minutes later, Lao Deng was already fast asleep on the sofa.

Sheng Yixia took a thin air-conditioning blanket and covered him with it. He drank the rest of the wine in the bottle silently. He was still very sober, not sleepy or drunk at all. He simply went to the study to do some research and returned to his room to sleep at three in the morning.

Eight in the morning.

Sheng Yixia woke up refreshed. After washing up, he went out of the room and found that his mother had already prepared a pot of porridge waiting for him.

"My son is awake. Lao Sheng, Lao Sheng, come and have some porridge." When the mother saw Sheng Yixia coming out, she hurriedly called out to the balcony twice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Laodeng came over from the balcony with a watering can in hand, looking listless. Seeing Sheng Yixia's energetic appearance, he couldn't help but sigh: "Time is merciless after all. When I was your age..."

"Stop bragging." The mother served porridge to the father and son and ruthlessly interrupted his boasting, "When you were still a potential son-in-law, you came to my house and got drunk every time."

"hey-hey!"

Sheng Laodeng didn't care even though his lies were exposed. He just sat down and prepared to drink his porridge. He was thick-skinned enough anyway.

The porridge is a thick white porridge cooked in a casserole. It is very stomach-warming when eaten with some side dishes. After drinking a bowl of porridge, your whole body will feel warm all summer long, and the remaining drunkenness from last night will disappear completely.

As for why we drank last night, my mom and dad tacitly didn't ask any further questions.

As soon as I put down the bowl, my phone vibrated.

Zhang Qing sent a message saying that she was almost downstairs, ready to pick him up to attend the opening ceremony of the second part of The King of Traffic. The film started shooting in H City, but it would have to move to several other locations in the future.

Sheng Yixia gave his mother an investment quota of 5 million yuan, using the money he borrowed last time.

Therefore, my parents also wanted to join in the fun. After the opening ceremony, they will go directly back to Xicheng today.

After the family of three finished drinking the porridge, they went downstairs to meet Zhang Qing and others.

On the way to the scene, Sheng Yixia leaned back in the chair and took a nap, but he was checking the system information in his mind.

After Grand Theft Auto was released last night, it started to sell like hot cakes, and no one was so stupid as to cause any trouble afterwards. As of this morning, the effective number of views had reached 1.5 million, which can be said to be a huge hit.

As The Thieves became a huge hit, the two characters, Wang Liu and Zhao Xingyao, gradually became popular and widely known.

Naturally, Sheng Yixia's cards were upgraded again.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for playing the role of [Wang Liu]. The popularity of the character has been improved, and the recognition of the character has been improved. The quality of the skill card [Dark Power] has been upgraded to [Blue Excellent], and the card entry [Severing Pulses] has been obtained."

"Congratulations to the host for playing the character [Zhao Xingyao]. The character's popularity has increased, and the character's recognition has increased. The quality of the character card [Magician] has been upgraded to [Purple Top Grade], and the card entry [Puppet Master] has been obtained."

Sheng Yixia was delighted.

Last night, after Sheng Yixia completed a performance with the Magician character card, the character card experience bar increased a lot, but it did not meet the requirements for upgrading. Unexpectedly, after just one night, with the increase in sales, it was directly upgraded to the purple top grade.

but.

He still checked the entry of the [Dark Power] card first.

[Entry ①: [Internal Injury]…]

[Term ②: [Severing the Meridians], your hidden power can penetrate deep into the enemy's body, causing damage to the meridians where the blood and qi circulate. In mild cases, part of the body will be paralyzed on the spot, causing poor blood circulation, or in severe cases, causing full body paralysis.]

Good guy!
Sheng Yixia was delighted, as expected there were no useless cards.

When the level of dark energy goes up, the effect becomes more and more abnormal. This pulse cutting is obviously a strong control term!
But this is not what Sheng Yixia is most looking forward to.

He opened the Magician character card and looked at the entries.

[Entry ①: [Master of Fraud]...]

[Entry ②: [Master of Illusion]...]

[Entry ③: [Puppet Master], in your long career as a magician, you gradually became proficient in controlling puppets to help you perform magic tricks. Now you have reached the level of mastering puppets and have established your own school.]

Sheng Yixia had already experienced and applied the first two last night. They were very useful terms. When combined, even the Son of Dusk suffered a great loss.

As for - Puppet Master?
Even though Sheng Yixia didn't have the magician character card loaded, he immediately thought of many application scenarios for [Puppet Master].

Taking the battle last night as an example, the illusion created by his illusion master could only deceive. But if there was a puppet master last night and Sheng Yixia was given some time to prepare, the tactics that could be used would be more diverse.

Illusions can only deceive people, but if a puppet is made well, it can hit people.

Suddenly, Sheng Yixia's heart surged and he felt that the future was bright.

Moreover, it has been less than a day since the Thieves came online, and Sheng Yixia could fully foresee that with the sales of the Thieves, the Magician character card would definitely not stop at the purple premium level. He couldn't help but imagine what the golden entry of this character card would be.
At the same time, his mood as he rushed to the set also became somewhat cheerful.

He hoped that he could become stronger as soon as possible and not let Sister Ou fight alone in the gap between the boundaries.

Even if it was just to get revenge on her for molesting me sooner, I should at least be promoted to A-level, right?

Although the vehicle was heading to the set.

But Sheng Yixia's heart seemed to have reached the gap between the boundaries.
