It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

After finishing breakfast, Lu Ya walked out of the breakfast shop.

He walked to the street outside the breakfast shop and looked around at the vehicles coming and going.

Just as Lu Ya was pondering whether or not to ask Zhou Qian for the license plate number of the car that picked him up.

A black SUV slowly pulled up in front of Lu Ya.

As the car window rolled down, a beautiful young woman could be seen sitting in the driver's seat.

The woman was dressed in a professional suit, with the hem of her shirt tucked into her trousers, which perfectly accentuated her figure, making her look very neat and capable.

After the car stopped beside Lu Ya, the woman took off her sunglasses, looked him up and down, and then asked, "Are you Lu Ya?"

Faced with the question from the strange woman in front of him, Lu Ya was somewhat puzzled, but still nodded: "Yes, that's me. And who are you?"

After confirming Lu Ya's identity, the woman said with a smile, "I am Captain Zhou's secretary. You can call me Jiang Beiling. Captain Zhou sent me to pick you up."

Upon learning the woman's identity, Lu Ya was immediately surprised.

He originally thought that Zhou Qian was at most a squad leader or something similar in the Card Master Alliance.

But now it seems that Zhou Qian's identity is not as simple as he thought.

After all, the Card Master Alliance wouldn't assign a secretary to a squad leader.

Jiang Beiling gestured, "Get in the car, we can talk about it there."

Lu Ya didn't dwell on it too much. He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and then fastened his seatbelt.

However, after Lu Ya got into the car, Jiang Beiling didn't intend to drive. Instead, she stared at him with a face full of curiosity.

This puzzled Lu Ya. He subconsciously touched his face and asked, "What's wrong? Do I have flowers on my face? It looks so good!"

Although he is indeed somewhat handsome, is he really that good-looking that he could make people swoon?

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Jiang Beiling couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She waved her hand and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was just curious!"

"I heard from Captain Zhou that you single-handedly took down that evil card master, so before I came here I always thought you were some kind of burly and fierce man."

"I never expected that you would be a student who hasn't even graduated from university yet."

These slightly teasing words immediately made Lu Ya's face show a hint of helplessness.

Zhou Qian is such a loose tongue; he just can't keep his mouth shut and he tells everyone everything.

Jiang Beiling stopped joking and, as the car started again, it slowly merged into the traffic on the street.

In the car, Jiang Beiling said with a smile, "Team Leader Zhou has already explained things to me about you. I will take you to the Card Master Alliance for the assessment later."

"Once the assessment is completed, I will take care of the remaining onboarding process for temporary workers for you."

It must be said that Zhou Qian was indeed very capable in handling things. He had basically arranged everything properly, so Lu Ya didn't need to worry about anything else.

However, Lu Ya asked with some curiosity, "By the way, how difficult is this assessment? What are the contents?"

In response to Lu Ya's question, Jiang Beiling explained, "Actually, the Card Master Alliance's assessment of Bronze-level Card Masters isn't too difficult."

"You only need to create a purple card using the material cards provided by the Card Master Alliance within the specified time to pass the test."

At this point, Jiang Beiling looked at Lu Ya with a smile: "However, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"After all, you can already take down an evil card master all by yourself, so this kind of thing is a piece of cake for you, isn't it?"

Lu Ya nodded thoughtfully.

Creating a purple card wasn't too difficult for him.

Lu Ya then continued, "So, do temporary employees need to undergo further evaluation?"

Jiang Beiling replied, "Actually, according to the rules of the Card Master Alliance, temporary employees need to undergo another assessment when they are hired."

"But you're different. You were recommended by Team Leader Zhou, so you don't need to undergo any assessments and can start working directly."

Jiang Beiling's answer surprised Lu Ya somewhat: "Does Zhou Qian's word carry so much weight? He can just skip the assessment like that?"

This surprised Lu Ya somewhat.

Jiang Beiling smiled slightly: "You should know that the Card Master Alliance has established branches in various major cities to oversee the local secret realm situation and card master activities."

"Furthermore, the Card Master Alliance has also established five captain positions in each branch, and the management of the branch is discussed and decided by these five captains together."

"And Captain Zhou Qian is one of the captains of our Lingjiang City branch."

At this moment, Lu Ya's face showed a look of sudden realization.

No wonder the people from the Card Master Alliance treated Zhou Qian with such respect when they met him; it turns out he's a big leader!

However, this made Lu Ya ponder: "Wouldn't that make me a 'connected' individual? Wouldn't that cause resentment among others?"

This was Lu Ya's first time using connections, and he had little experience, so he couldn't help but worry.

Moreover, Lu Ya didn't want to be targeted for no reason right after starting the job.

Jiang Beiling pondered for a moment: "Theoretically, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction, but you should be an exception, after all, you have already killed the Evil Card Master."

"With these results as they are, no one should dare to say anything more."

Lu Ya was finally relieved.

Indeed, no matter where you are, having strength is the only true measure of success.

However, Lu Ya had one last question. He continued, "By the way, how many temporary workers does our Lingjiang City branch have in total?"

Lu Ya felt it was necessary to get to know her future colleagues.

However, Jiang Beiling's expression turned strange in response to Lu Ya's question.

After a moment, she slowly replied, "Actually, you're the only temporary worker in Lingjiang City!"

Jiang Beiling's answer stunned Lu Ya.

Good grief, he had originally planned to get to know his future colleague from Jiang Beiling in advance, but it turned out he was all alone.

To prevent Lu Ya from misunderstanding, Jiang Beiling quickly explained, "The reason you're the only one here is because becoming a temporary worker isn't an easy thing."

"According to the rules of the Card Master Alliance, there are only two ways to become a temporary worker."

"Either you have to pass an extremely rigorous test, or you have to be recommended by a team leader."

"There are no other methods besides these two."

Jiang Beiling shrugged, indicating her helplessness.

After listening to Jiang Beiling's explanation, Lu Ya finally looked enlightened.

He finally understood why he was the only temporary worker in Lingjiang City.

After all, people who are capable of passing the assessment can live a comfortable life anywhere, so why bother becoming a temporary worker in the Card Master Alliance?

As for the second method, that's even more difficult.

First, you need to know someone at the team leader level, and your abilities need to be recognized before you have a chance to be recommended.

Theoretically speaking, this is even more difficult than the first method.

Even Lu Ya himself only met Zhou Qian by chance.

Just as Lu Ya was pondering these things, the car slowly came to a stop.

Jiang Beiling then spoke up, "We've arrived."
