Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

He guessed that the last piece of the diary should be in the ghost cave...that is, in the summer resort twenty miles outside Nanling City.

After Su Ruoli finished reading the diary carefully, she closed her palms and said, "Well, it turns out that these things happened back then. I didn't know about them, and I haven't heard my sister mention them."

Bai Yu picked up a copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude from the bookshelf and flipped through it casually: "Do you have any impression of Qin Xuezao?"

"I've heard of her, but I don't know her." Su Ruoli shook her head: "My sister didn't actually live with us at the time. She moved somewhere else."

“That’s the house we live in now.”

"Yes." Su Ruoli thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen Qin Xuezhao very often, but the school should have her information. If I ask around, the teachers should know."

"That's not necessary." Bai Yu closed the book. "I'm just a little confused. If she was Su Ruoji's friend, why don't I remember her at all?"

"The case recorded here is a murder case seven years ago. My sister was also involved in it. I have some impression of it, but after that, my sister took the college entrance examination and went to Penglai ahead of time." Su Ruoli paused. "In the four years that followed, we only met three times. She only came back during the Chinese New Year."

"Then in the fourth year, she disappeared." Bai Yu put the book back on the shelf and continued searching: "I'm still a little curious about this case."

"why?"

"Because I want to know the truth about what happened back then." Bai Yu replied, "I think this incident is the reason why Su Ruoji's personality changed drastically. If he and Qin Xuezhao were really that close, maybe just like us, imagine, if I died..."

Pressing a finger on Bai Yu's lips, Su Ruoli stopped him seriously: "Don't say those words... You will be fine, absolutely not! I will protect you, no matter what happens."

Bai Yu was speechless for a while. He thought to himself, I don’t know who is protecting whom.

"I'm just using an analogy... I think you can understand it. If I swapped you with your sister, I think this would be the specific reason."

"So, you really want to know who killed Qin Xuezao." Su Ruoli understood: "But my sister probably doesn't know about this either."

She stood up and said, "Keep looking. I'll go back to my room and be back soon."

"Row."

Bai Yu agreed and continued to look for any clues left in the room, but it would be difficult to find any answers by just looking around.

However, while searching, I found an unexpected item.

He opened a wooden box hidden in the corner, and found inside was not a diary or a girl's collection, but a broken gun head.

When holding the broken spear head, words like fire flashed in Bai Yu's eyes.

[Relic: Rock Spear Head]

[Two-Star Heroic Spirit: Veteran of a Hundred Battles]

【Status: Full Movie】

[Contract Failure]

[The afterimage of the heroic spirit has become history]

[Heroic Spirit Contract has been recorded, currently 5 times]

"Heroic spirits...are there also here?"

Bai Yu was a little surprised. The gun head in the wooden box looked a bit old.

But why was this relic placed in Su Ruoji's room?

And it’s a two-star hotel…which makes me a little excited.

However, its status is full shadow, so it may be a type of heroic spirit that cannot be cultivated.

Bai Yu was distracted for half a minute while holding the relic, when a fragrant breeze blew over.

Su Ruoli walked into the room carrying a box, placed it on the bed and opened it: "My sister and I have been communicating over the years, and there are dozens of letters in total. Maybe there will be clues in them. Let's take a look together."

Bai Yu glanced at the cardboard box and asked, "Do we still use letters in this era?"

"Because it is more convenient to use letters in Penglai." Su Ruoli replied, picking up a letter and about to read it.

Bai Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Su Ruoli's cheeks flushed: "Be gentle, I won't run away."

Bai Yu didn't say anything, but rolled up Su Ruoli's sleeve and turned it over, and found a faint dragon-shaped mark on the inside of her left wrist.

"Dragon Vein Seal." He looked at Su Ruoli: "You are extraordinary."

"Yeah." Su Ruoli nodded.

"When?"

"just."

"just?"

"Yeah." Su Ruoli nodded again, speaking as if it were as easy as eating and drinking water: "Just a beep, and you've broken through. Isn't that what everyone does?"

Bai Yu: "?"

Is breaking through to the extraordinary realm as easy as eating and drinking water?

I had to fight to the death with the Black Archer, the follower of the evil star, to barely break through!

Su Ruoli blinked: "It took me a long time to break through, too. I felt it before in the hospital, but it took me a long time to break through. It's not as fast as yours."

Bai Yu leaned back and rolled his eyes at the ceiling: "I believed it... I almost believed it."

"It's true." Su Ruoli said encouragingly, "It's amazing that you were able to break through so quickly. You've been in the stress period for less than a week, right? This is genius level."

Bai Yu looked at Su Ruoli, not wanting to admit that he was hurt. Jealousy burned in his stomach, but on the other hand, he looked at his childhood sweetheart who was comforting him, and he couldn't say anything.

He suspected that Su Ruoli did it on purpose. It was not that she wanted to attack him, but that she wanted to suppress his level so that he could break through only now.

She seemed to be trying to play dumb, but failed miserably.

"Let's read the letter first."

He could only lower his head to divert his attention.

If it were someone else, they would have pounced on her out of jealousy or squatted in a corner, but he wouldn't.

The guarantor has a stable mentality.

He lowered his head to check the letters, because what he had here were all replies from Su Ruoji, and most of the content mentioned in them was about recent developments, and to be honest, the content was unremarkable.

Su Ruo was a typical person who only reported good news and not bad news. She even wrote nonsense like "The fragrant chicken I had yesterday was really delicious", but she didn't mention anything about what mission she had undertaken or what danger she had encountered. She probably didn't want to worry her family. However, these letters were basically useless. There were only a few letters that simply mentioned that things were not going well, and there was really nothing else.

"Your relationship as sisters must not be very good." Bai Yu said with certainty: "What nonsense literature, it's all the same."

"Stupid, you don't understand." Su Ruoli folded up the two pieces of letter paper sent to him and said, "You have to read it this way."

Bai Yu realized this time that it was a secret letter, which needed to be covered with the paper-cut from the previous letter in order to be read properly.

After decryption, the amount of information obtained was reduced to just a few dozen words, but the content also became meaningful. Su Ruo mentioned a lot about Penglai Academy, but unfortunately there was no information about Qin Xuezao. Most of it was his own experience in practicing along the way, and it seemed that he was planning to lay a foundation for his sister in advance.

The letter mentions the system and path of the extraordinary people.

After becoming a transcendent, one awakens one's own transcendental skills, and guided by one's talents and transcendental skills, one becomes confident in one's own path in subsequent advancement.

The so-called extraordinary path is a route to advancement. Although both are cultivation, practicing Buddhism and practicing Taoism are different paths.

There are many different paths in the world. Even if they are both martial artists, swordsmen and knifemen take different paths.

There are many different routes for low-level extraordinary people, and each path has traces of predecessors that can be used as a reference. However, the higher the level of extraordinary people, the narrower the route of promotion.

In Daxia, the most reliable path is martial arts cultivation. This path is also the path promoted by the Daxia government. The road becomes wider and wider because so many people have walked this path, so the lower and upper limits are very high.

Even though Su Ruo was a martial artist who used spearmanship, the path she followed was the path of the Spear Saint, who ranked seventh on the Martial Saint Monument.

It is a very smart approach to cross the river by following the advice of others.

However, this approach rarely surpasses the original.

Among the top ten Martial Saints, none of them had the same path.

"I've finished reading it, but there's no clue." Bai Yu put down the last letter. "I did feel Su Ruoji's liveliness. She was still in a good mood when she wrote the last letter."

"Sister is an optimist." Su Ruoli smiled slightly and put the letter back into the envelope and put it away again.

Bai Yu stood up, pointed at the box over there and asked, "Can I take this gun head back with me for a while?"

"This is my sister's stuff." Su Ruoli thought about it and agreed: "But I don't think she will mind, right?"

She suddenly pursed her lips and turned her head away: "After all, my sister likes you very much."

Bai Yu said with a smile: "Who made you so naughty when you were a kid, like a Pikachu?"

Comforted the easy-going Su Ruoli.

Bai Yu tidied up the messy room. When he was about to close the door, Su Ruoli suddenly remembered something and reached out to grab his wrist.

"By the way," she was about to speak when suddenly a static discharge occurred when the two of them touched.

Snapped!

Bai Yu and Su Ruoli subconsciously raised and released their hands.

At this moment, a thought flashed through my mind - this seemed to be the tenth time she held my hand.

Then he realized that the bottom-line guarantee seemed to have been activated again...but why could it be a bottom-line guarantee?

This situation never happens when she shakes hands with ordinary people. Is it because she is a congenital heroic spirit?

What will happen with this ten-game guarantee?

No, it's totally unpredictable!

He had no choice but to concentrate on preparing for various situations that might happen next, and then...

[Contract with Heroic Spirit 'Blue Desolate Sword Master' failed]

[Heroic Spirit Contract has been recorded, currently 6 times]

[You have obtained 'Qingming Sword Master' projection card x1]

【Event: Collection triggered】

The location of the item 'Su Ruoji's Diary' has been revealed - it's located on the map 'Mountain Guarding Ghost Cave'.

[Fate Points +10]

"???"

Chapter 117 You look like a scumbag now

Bai Yu was shocked by the rows of prompts.

At the same time, Su Ruoli also looked at her palm. She tilted her head and said, "How strange! Why did I feel like I was almost sucked in by you just now?"

"Suck it in?"

"I can't quite put it into words, it just felt like my heart was almost touched."

Su Ruoli looked at the palm of her hand, she didn't know how to express it.

Neither of them understood it at the time, and it was not until much later that they realized that this phenomenon was a manifestation of the Heroic Spirit Contract.

If the contract is successful, then Su Ruoli's heroic spirit will be forcibly publicized.

But Bai Yu still succeeded in getting it for free. Although the contract failed, he got a one-time heroic spirit projection card.

[Heroic Spirit Projection Card 'Blue Desolate Sword Master']

【Consumables】

[After use, you will obtain all the templates of Qingming Sword Master, which lasts for one hour]

He suddenly realized that if he could get a Heroic Spirit Projection Card for free by shaking hands ten times, then all he had to do was shake hands with a top-level Heroic Spirit and repeat that ten times. Wouldn't that mean he could get a high-level Projection Card for free?

Su Ruoli reached out her hand again and poked Bai Yu. This time, she was sure it was nothing. She once again grabbed his wrist and said without any memory: "By the way, I was just about to say that your room hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and there's no bed now. How about you just..."

"I'll sleep on the sofa." Bai Yu interrupted.

"You can sleep in my sister's room."

"No, I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Bai Yu glanced at Su Ruoli with his eyes half-closed. Because the sofa was very small, only enough for one person to sleep on, it could effectively prevent Miss Su Ruoli from coming to share the bed with him tonight.

He suddenly felt that he should lock the door when he went to bed next time to prevent the lonely girl from coming in.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Ruoli reached out and poked his forehead, hugged her arms and snorted softly: "I would never do that kind of thing."

"How do you know what I'm thinking about?" Bai Yu narrowed his eyes. "Either we just had the same idea, or you used mind stealing on me."
