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

Following the directions given by Yao Mengyao, Lu Ya quickly arrived at an abandoned train station.

This station is the temporary gathering point that Yao Mengyao mentioned.

A large number of students were gathered in the station, some of them gathered around a campfire in an open space, discussing something.

Lu Ya walked into the station without making a sound and listened silently to the discussion among the people.

"Have you heard? Gu Tao is dead. He died a really horrible death."

"Of that group, only one person came back alive, and he's gone insane."

"I wonder what this guy ran into."

Upon hearing their discussion, Lu Ya was completely stunned.

Gu Tao is dead?

You know, he had just run into Gu Tao at the orphanage, and now, only half a day later, Gu Tao was already dead.

The crucial point is that he died under mysterious circumstances.

Moreover, all the people who were with Gu Tao were dead, and the only one who escaped alive had gone mad.

This made Lu Ya subconsciously think about the cause of Gu Tao's death.

Judging from Gu Tao's haste to leave the orphanage, Lu Ya speculated that Gu Tao had likely discovered another "polluted" evil spirit and rushed over because he was afraid that someone else would get there first.

When Gu Tao arrived, he found himself no match for the evil spirit and ultimately died tragically at its hands.

Based on the current clues, this is the most reasonable possibility.

However, this also made Lu Ya feel uneasy.

Judging from Zhong Xu and the others' descriptions, Gu Tao's strength was not weak. What level of evil spirit could have caused Gu Tao's tragic death?

Just as Lu Ya was pondering these things, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder from behind.

Lu Ya turned around and saw that the person standing behind him was none other than Yang Feng.

Upon seeing Lu Ya, Yang Feng exclaimed with delight, "Brother Lu, you didn't expect this, did you?"

Lu Ya was also somewhat surprised: "Old Yang, what are you doing here?"

Yang Feng explained with a smile, "I heard from others that there was a temporary gathering point here, and I thought I might run into you here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to actually be here."

At this point, Yang Feng paused, then lowered his voice and asked softly, "Brother Lu, how are you doing now?"

Yang Feng's question left Lu Ya somewhat bewildered. He asked in confusion, "What's going on? What happened?"

Yang Feng said with a grin, "What else could it be? It's the final exam. Brother Lu, how many material cards have you collected so far? How many points have you gotten?"

At this point, Yang Feng raised an eyebrow: "Brother Lu, if you don't have enough points, I can give you some."

Lu Ya's expression immediately turned strange; he understood what Yang Feng meant.

After all that, this guy actually started showing off to me.

Lu Ya looked at Yang Feng with amusement and asked, "From what you're saying, you got quite a few points this time!"

As expected, Yang Feng coughed lightly: "Actually, there aren't many. I only have seven green material cards and more than twenty white material cards on hand, which adds up to just over ninety points."

Although Yang Feng said that, the smug expression on his face betrayed his true feelings.

Lu Ya nodded: "It is indeed very good."

Yang Feng couldn't wait to look at Lu Ya and ask, "Brother Lu, what about you? How many points do you have now?"

Lu Ya stroked his chin: "I don't actually have as many resource cards as you do."

Hearing Lu Ya's words, Yang Feng's face grew even more smug. He said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, you know our relationship. Just tell me, how much do I need to give you?"

Lu Ya waved his hand and said indifferently, "That won't be necessary."

Lu Ya's answer seemed to have given Yang Feng a clue.

Yang Feng suddenly gave a wicked smile: "Hey, Brother Lu, I understand how you feel right now. Although you didn't beat me this time, there's no need to be so stubborn. What kind of relationship do we have?"

"You can try harder next time and strive to surpass me in the next assessment, right, Brother Lu?"

Hearing Yang Feng's words, Lu Ya's expression became even more strange. He said, "I'm not just trying to save face. Although I don't have as many material cards as you, I didn't say my score was lower than yours."

Yang Feng was taken aback: "What do you mean, Brother Lu?"

Lu Ya stopped joking around with Yang Feng and directly took out the venue material card [Evil Spirit Orphanage].

Upon seeing the material card in Lu Ya's hand, Yang Feng was first stunned, then revealed a constipated expression.

Yang Feng originally thought that with the number of material cards he currently had, he could easily surpass Lu Ya, but he found that the total score of the material cards he had was not even equal to the score of a single material card in Lu Ya's hands.

This huge gap plunged Yang Feng into a deep, painful state.

Lu Ya couldn't resist adding insult to injury. He patted Yang Feng on the shoulder and returned Yang Feng's words verbatim.

"Hey, Lao Yang, I understand how you feel right now. Although you still couldn't beat me this time, you can keep trying next time. I believe in you."

Hearing Lu Ya's words, Yang Feng said quietly, "Brother Lu, how come I never knew you could be so sarcastic?"

Lu Ya shrugged and said with a mocking expression, "Now you know, don't you!"

Yang Feng pursed his lips, and finally managed to squeeze out a single word through gritted teeth: "Damn it!"

However, Yang Feng didn't take it to heart. He said, "If you ask me, I was just unlucky and didn't encounter any 'polluted' evil spirits."

"If I were to encounter a 'polluted' evil spirit, my score might be higher than yours, Brother Lu."

Lu Ya wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Lu Ya thought that this matter was just a minor episode, and would be over after Yang Feng said a few stubborn words.

However, to Lu Ya's surprise, Yang Feng suddenly changed the subject and said, "But on another note, I actually do know a clue about a 'polluted' evil spirit."

Hearing Yang Feng's words, Lu Ya raised an eyebrow: "Oh, then why don't you go and deal with this evil spirit? Wouldn't that give you a higher score than me?"

Yang Feng scratched his head and said, "I just found out about this clue from someone else. I haven't even had a chance to set off yet."

After listening to Yang Feng's words, Lu Ya nodded in understanding: "I see."

Yang Feng then added, "Besides, I'm not entirely confident if I go alone. Luckily, you're here too, so let's go together."

Lu Ya naturally wouldn't refuse Yang Feng's invitation.
