My exclusive card pool

Chapter 28 Changing the Future
It's a sunny day with clear blue sky.

The Spinning Chamber of Commerce's convoy was traveling on the dusty road.

"Mr. White, how long will it take to reach the capital?"

Wang Xi, riding a brown horse of the caravan, walked side by side with the middle-aged manager who was leading the group and wearing a hat and scarf, and turned his head to ask.

"Well, we should be almost at Ramirez. We'll rest there for the night and see if we can recruit some more people... The journey to the capital will take about six or seven days."

White smiled at him.

Wang Xi thanked him and fell into thought.

According to the "retirement preview" seen when we returned last time, the caravan will be ambushed in the suburbs near the royal capital.

According to the original development trajectory, the caravan would suffer heavy casualties, he himself would be seriously injured and disabled, and Godaril would be on the verge of death.

But now Wang Xi is stronger, and he has a "Solomon Military Laser Pistol V" on hand.

This artificial three-star white card from the main world is probably a powerful weapon for this alien world!
At the same time, it is also one of Wang Xi's trump cards.

'I can change that future.'

Wang Xi thought to himself.

He thought for a moment and then asked Steward White:
"Does the Spinning Merchants Guild have any enemies in the capital?"

"Enemy?" White, unsure of the young man's question, couldn't help but laugh. "There are quite a few. The Oak Merchant Guild, the Moondew Merchant Alliance, the Coral Line, the Anvil Brotherhood, the Weavers' Guild... and some court ministers and nobles, none of them like us very much."

Did he do something that angered God and the people?

There are enemies on all sides!
Wang Xi complained in his heart.

But on second thought, it was probably normal. The capital was prosperous and competition was fierce, so friction between the various chambers of commerce was not surprising. Over time, this would naturally affect the interests of some high-ranking officials.

But in this way, he couldn't figure out the origins of the guys who ambushed the caravan.

How about persuading White to take a different route back to the capital?

So how should he explain...

I, the reincarnation of Merlin, foresee that you will be in danger of a bloody disaster. If you don't change your route, you will have nothing good to eat?

Divine gold, White is afraid of dying.

What if I just take Godaril and run away?

You are still human!
People paid a high price to hire you, but you ran away when you saw that things were not going well. How shameless of you.

Wang Xi couldn't do such a shameless thing, he would despise himself, not to mention that the situation was not completely unsolvable.

He was confident he could handle it.

"The enemy who ambushed the caravan had planned this long ago and must have made sufficient preparations. Even if we change the route back to the capital, we'll probably still be attacked."

Wang Xi made reasonable speculation.

In his opinion, the most likely scenario was that there were ambushes on the roads leading to the royal capital.

This is obviously a situation that is difficult to avoid.

"Use force to defeat cleverness."

Wang Xi stroked his chin, his eyes calm and composed.

"We still have some time on the road, so I'll upgrade my bodybuilding technique and improve my strength... Then I'll let those guys feel the shock of the new world's small laser."

...

...

It was just getting dark.

The spinning caravan arrived safely in the small town of Ramirez. Steward White found an inn and settled everyone there.

After having dinner and taking a proper bath, Wang Xi stayed in the room alone.

He was shirtless, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his bare chest, silently activating the "Randall Body Building Method".

Bang bang bang!
An invisible whipping suddenly struck him. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to endure it. His body began to shake and his muscles twitched.

Three hours might fly by in the blink of an eye on a normal day, but during a workout, it felt like an eternity. The constant pain, coupled with the rapid loss of strength, became a torment.

When the bright moon was high in the sky, everything was quiet.

Wang Xi on the bed was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, but this time he insisted on not falling down.

Joy blossomed in his eyes.

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Randall's Body Building Method (Exercise Card)"

"Quality: White 2-star (upgradeable)"

Experience Points: 0/200

After feeding the "dog food card" many times, coupled with Wang Xi's own arduous, hardworking and unremitting efforts, this skill card was finally upgraded to the next level.

Wang Xi felt a warm current surging through his body. He was originally exhausted, as if a dry fuel tank was suddenly filled with a steady stream of new fuel.

A sense of abundant power arises spontaneously.

He groaned in comfort and stretched out his arms.

Gaba!

Crackling!

The joints and bones seemed to be strengthened and readjusted, emitting a series of crisp sounds.

In the moonlight outside the window, Wang Xi looked down at his body and was stunned.

Originally, after being strengthened by "hard training", his physique tended to be above average. Now that the "Randall Body Building Method" has been upgraded, the lines and contours of his muscles have become more obvious, and they have even expanded a little.

Sweat soaked my skin, reflecting the moonlight, making it sparkle.

When Wang Xi tried to clench his fist and raise his arm, what did he see?
He saw arms that were even more perfect than those in his previous life, strong and powerful without being exaggerated. Not the roughness of a bodybuilder, but the restrainedness of Bruce Lee.

Handsome!
Wang Xi gave an objective evaluation.

powerful!
He felt like he could kill a goblin with one punch.

Tear the slime by hand.

Kick the sugar man.

An even more unexpected surprise was that he realized that his skin, although seemingly smooth, was actually as tough as cowhide and had excellent resistance to blows.

"This must be the special effect of the 'Lendall Body Building Method'. It can withstand pain and beatings... In the world of martial arts, it would be considered a master of horizontal training and external skills."

But it's bullshit to ask Wang Xi to use his body to resist swords and knives. He will be hacked to death. At most, he will suffer some blunt blows from punches and kicks. It won't be easy to break through if he just holds on.

"Solid accumulation leads to a sudden burst of energy! My physical fitness has improved a lot, my stamina is more abundant, and my overall strength has been greatly improved!"

Wang Xi summarized it and was very satisfied.

He wiped the sweat off his face and did not rush to sleep. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and began to transform the azure sugar coating continuously, becoming more and more skilled and more and more adept at it.

Although it takes a long time to add 1 experience point, if you want to upgrade the star of the card, you have to learn to accumulate.

Without taking small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea.

Playing is playing, making noise is making noise, but Wang Xi knows in his heart that he cannot neglect his own efforts just because of Caius's help. That will only hurt himself.

...

...

Time passed quietly.

Six days passed in a flash.

The spinning caravan has been on the road these days, and Wang Xi would secretly practice cards whenever he had time. He didn't have much experience, but it was accumulated over time.

Perhaps it was because they were so close to the capital, but the tired crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Trading abroad wasn't easy; one had to sleep in the open air and constantly be on guard against bandits, wild beasts, and even terrifying monsters.

Right now, I can have a good rest.

The convoy passed a steep slope and could see a magnificent complex of buildings in the distance: a river, high walls, towering spires, fluttering flags...

"Work harder!"

Steward White, riding a gray horse, a smile on his tired face, called out to everyone.

"We'll reach the capital today!"

The guards looked at each other and laughed.

Only Wang Xi didn't laugh.

It's not that he's a loner or pretending to be aloof, but he knows that the ambush is about to come.

Godalil, sitting in the carriage, looked at the black-haired young man. Noticing his expressionless face, the smile that had originally appeared on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared.

She wanted to speak, but stopped herself.

Finally, he lowered his head sadly.

"Godalier."

Suddenly, she heard a call and looked up, only to see Gay slowing down his horse and coming to the side of the carriage.

The familiar childhood sweetheart whispered to her:

"I have a bad feeling... If something unexpected happens, don't come out, just hide in the car."

"Hmm?" Godalil looked confused.

She didn't know why Gai said that, but looking at his serious expression, she nodded obediently.

At the same time, Gai's concern once again slowly salvaged her heart, which had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

It's like a drowning person coming to the surface and getting a breath.

Godalil lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly due to the fluctuation of emotions.

Wang Xi no longer paid attention to the girl and rode his horse forward.

The reason he spoke out to remind Godalil was simply because of the girl's trust in him and because he didn't want her to be hurt as he foresaw in the future.

The convoy continued driving for a while.

Unlike the other people in the caravan, Wang Xi was relaxed. Instead, he focused his attention and kept an eye on his surroundings.

The sun was shining brightly, and the chirping of cicadas could be heard from the trees on both sides of the dusty road.

The hot wind blows on my face, but it is mixed with a hint of coolness.

The vegetation and trees rustled.

Wang Xi sat on the saddle and closed his eyes.

——Listen to the Heartbeat

Dong Dong, Dong Dong...

In the darkness, twelve red lines jumped one after another.

That was the heartbeat of everyone in the caravan.

Steward White, Godalil, two guards temporarily recruited by Ramirez, Bennett and other original staff.

But soon.

Wang Xi suddenly heard a strange heartbeat.

It's in the woods twenty meters in front of you on the right.

He frowned slightly.

Dong Dong, Dong Dong...

My heart is beating faster and faster!

The red line leaping in the darkness is like a scarlet vein!
"Stop!"

Wang Xi opened his eyes and shouted suddenly.

The law——

Steward White pulled the reins to a halt and gestured to Bennett and the others. They all stopped and cast confused glances at Wang Xi.

Wang Xi took off the hunting crossbow from his shoulder, plucked the string, loaded the arrow, and aimed it towards the forest.

"There's an ambush!"

Before he finished speaking, the sword was drawn.

call out!
The crossbow arrow shot straight out.

Then there was a scream.

"what!"

Everyone in the caravan looked changed.

There really is an ambush!

"Protect Lord White and the cargo, and prepare for battle!"

Bennett reacted extremely quickly. At a command, he dismounted, drew his armed sword from his waist, and took two steps forward.

Just as the guards were about to take action, there was a sudden noise in the woods, and then dense arrows flew towards the convoy.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
In an instant, two caravan guards were shot by arrows and fell to the ground. The horses were frightened and neighed, and the scene was chaotic.

Wang Xi swung his sword expressionlessly, and with a few clangs, he parried and deflected the flying arrows.

In the sight, an area of ​​the woods suddenly twisted and shook, and then was taken off like a canvas.

Twenty or thirty figures appeared behind.

Almost all of them were wearing armor, which gleamed brilliantly in the sun, and half of them were bent over their crossbows, reloading them.

The three leading men were tall and strong.

They were covered in heavy black armor, with dog-faced helmets on their necks, and only a horizontal slit left on the pointed face armor.
