Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 215 Little Red Bird and Harvest on the Battlefield
That night, Xu Gu'an returned to his Yuanxian department store.

Now Donglan Town is also affected by the war, and the business in the store is not as prosperous as it was in the Taiping era.

The most important thing is Zhang Yang's overseas purchase channels, many of which were forced to stop due to the war.

"Sir, you are back."

The first person to see Xu Gu'an was He Ruoying, a handyman and tailor in the shop.

The young woman's face was quite joyful, happy for Xu Gu An's safe return.

Then Lin Chunzi, Zhou Dagen and other shop assistants also surrounded him one after another.

Ah Fu, who was already ten years old, also looked a little excited.

"I just said that the son of auspicious people has his own appearance, which is very good."

After hearing too many turbulent and chaotic news outside, they will inevitably worry about Xu Gu'an.

Only now are they relieved.

In the private room on the second floor, Zhang Yang and Xu Guan sat opposite each other.

He Ruoying made tea for the two of them, and then refunded the money.

Zhang Yang is still the same, holding a thick stack of account books and notepads, meticulously telling Xu Gu'an about many things in and out of the store, doing his duty.

Generally speaking, although the situation in the store is not as good as it was in its heyday, it is still considered to be very good that the store can still guarantee positive income and not close down in the era of war and turmoil.

Among them, publicity is naturally the biggest contributor, but the store's previous good reputation is also a key to maintaining business.

Yuanxian Department Store, relying on all kinds of exotic treasures and high-quality goods, has gradually become a gold-lettered signboard in Donglan Town.

"I have a lot of goods that I got outside. When the time comes, let Dagen and Chunzi pick them up. They are all imported goods." Xu Gu'an said.

"Okay." Zhang Yang nodded, not surprised.

From time to time, Xu Gu'an would take out a batch of items from the dungeon to replenish the store's inventory.

These items are of no use to him, considered useless, but to other practitioners, they are all good things.

"By the way, two months ago, according to your instructions, I also collected a messenger red bird, which may be what you need."

Zhang Yang finished talking about all the big and small things emphatically, then suddenly remembered and said.

"Oh! Take a look." Xu Guan said immediately.

Zhang Yang nodded.

Soon, a small birdcage was brought over by Zhang Yang, and the cloth was lifted to reveal a bird similar to the little blue bird.

It was less than half the size of a slap, and its feathers were all red. When its head turned, it looked extremely flexible.

"I heard that this kind of messenger red bird is a variant of the blue hummingbird?" Xu Gu'an asked.

He had always wanted to find a messenger bird that was better than the little blue bird, and his potential target was the red bird, which was a variant of the same family.

It's just that before he had time to go to the big city to search for treasures, Zhang Yang had already bought this one for him.

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "That's right, the little red bird is one of the varieties of the blue hummingbird family, it is quite rare, there are rumors that only one blue bird nest can be born in a thousand, basically the probability is one in a thousand.

In order to buy it, I exchanged one hundred gold and three green items from the store on my own initiative, which are "

When Zhang Yang talked about the price of buying this little red bird, he couldn't help feeling a little bit pained.

If it wasn't for Xu Gu'an's need, he would never have paid such a price to buy it anyway.

One hundred gold coins is equivalent to one thousand silver coins, which is not a small number, not to mention the price of three rare green items.

One must know that Xu Gu'an only spent a few gold coins to buy a horse as handsome as Xiao Hei, which shows how expensive this little red bird is.

"It's okay, as long as you get the little red bird, money is not a problem." Xu Gu'an smiled indifferently.

After going to the Golden Desert and opening so many high-level dungeons, he really doesn't need this little money now.

"What is the effect of this little red bird's communication?" Xu Gu'an continued to ask.

What he cared about was the performance of the messenger red bird.

"This one is still in the semi-adult stage, and its physical functions have not yet reached its peak level, after my tests.

The red bird has great stamina, and its speed is several times that of the blue bird. I guess it will be no problem to travel [-] kilometers a day. If you want to send a message to any place in the Donglan Mountains, it will take about an hour or two to go back and forth. " Zhang Yang described in detail.

These tests and the collection of relevant information do not require Xu Gu'an to act personally, Zhang Yang has already done it all in one step very thoughtfully.

It has to be said that it is indeed a great thing to have a competent subordinate, which can make Xu Guan less worried.

Following Zhang Yang's description, Xu Gu'an also basically understood the situation of this little red bird.

Whether it is speed or endurance, the mutated red bird has crushed the blue bird.

And the advantages of Little Red Bird don't stop there.

The little red bird is smarter, more spiritual, and more domesticable than the blue bird.

After the domesticated little red bird, the range of communication will become extremely wide, and it will no longer be limited to the Donglan Mountain.

The distance he can communicate is also farther. As long as the food fed is good enough, he can even fly into the northern desert area for communication.

The bird in the cage suddenly became active, fluttering its wings back and forth, as if moving in an instant in a small space.

"Very good." Xu Gu'an is very satisfied with this little red bird, what he wants is this kind of communication ability that can cross thousands of mountains and rivers.

"What about domestication?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "It's very spiritual, it can already understand most of the instructions, and even understand the meaning of some words, as long as the young master takes care of it for a few days, it can be used."

"That's very good." Xu Guan smiled, put the high-quality bird food that Zhang Yang handed over on his finger, and put it into the cage.

The little red bird came to Xu Gu'an's finger in an instant, and its small wings waved with high frequency, allowing it to stay in the air perfectly, as if it was frozen in mid-air.

It first observed Xu Gu'an twice, and then began to peck.

"Huh." Zhang Yang was a little surprised, "It has always been very wary of outsiders, and will not easily eat strangers' food."

He originally thought that it would take at least a few days for Xu Guan to let the little red bird gradually accept him, but now it seems that it will not take so long.

The little red bird quickly finished eating the bird food, and simply stood on Xu Gu'an's finger that came in, tilted his head and continued to look at Xu Gu'an, looking unsuspecting.

Seeing this, Xu Gu'an simply opened the birdcage and let it out.

After being released, the little red bird circled around Xu Gu'an, when Xu Gu'an stretched out his hand, it naturally fell into Xu Gu'an's palm, very cute.

This made Zhang Yang amazed when he saw it, and Xu Gu'an seemed to be able to make this little red bird get close to him naturally.

Zhang Yang didn't understand the reason, but Xu Gu'an was thoughtful.

If there is something different about him that can make a strange beast get close, it is the natural energy released by the Tianji jade pendant that he has been wearing close to his body.

This natural energy is not only needed by the little Sky Mystery Beast that broke its shell, but is also loved by many spiritual and close-to-nature beasts.

The little red bird in front of him was probably like this, attracted by Xu Gu'an, and he was easily tamed.

"I've linked it to your family, and you can send it to Xujiacun anytime." Zhang Yang added on the side.

He didn't think too much about why Xu Gu'an was able to tame the little red bird so easily, he just kept his duty, and wouldn't pry too much into some secrets about Xu Gu'an.

"Thank you." Xu Gu'an nodded and said, quite satisfied with Zhang Yang, the housekeeper's work.

Soon, he wrote a letter, stuffed it into the letter box, and fed the little red bird some high-quality bird food with high nutrition, and then said to it.

"Go to Xujia Village."

In the palm, the little red bird squeaked twice, flapped its wings, and suddenly turned into a red light and disappeared through the window.

Even with Xu Gu'an's dynamic capture ability, it is difficult to observe the flight trajectory of the little red bird, and its speed is indeed extraordinary.

It crossed the Donglan Mountains, and at the flying speed of a little red bird, it actually took less than half an hour to reach Xujia Village from Donglan Town.

Waiting for the little red bird to become an adult, the transmission speed will only be faster, which can be said to be quite convenient.

This is why he has always wanted to find such a top-quality messenger bird.

In this era without mobile phones, long-distance communication has always been inconvenient.

Even the popularity of messenger birds is already a major breakthrough in the history of communication.

In the past, only the Escorts were entrusted to deliver letters, or some official post stations were responsible for the delivery service.

It can be seen that the same letter may take more than a month or even several months to be delivered.

More than an hour later, the little red bird returned to Xu Gu'an's palm, and at the same time brought back the letter from home.

The letter Xu Guan wrote was mainly to report that he was safe, and by the way, he wanted to ask how the family was doing.

The high probability of replying to the letter was from my mother, Feng Man, who filled a piece of paper with eloquence.

He probably expressed his worries about Xu Gu'an's loss of contact for so long, and now he is relieved.

At present, as the old dean said, Xujia Village has not been affected by the war, and the eastern suburbs are quite peaceful, and even the more threatening bandits have not yet formed.

So Gu An felt relieved.

In the evening, he temporarily lived in the room on the third floor of the store.

The town is still in turmoil, and the post-war effects won't fade away so quickly.

Many timid people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Xu Gu'an sat at the table, flipping through the piles of character cards picked up on the battlefield.

After a brief inventory, there are a total of 53 character cards, ranging in quality from gray to blue.

"Six gray cards, 28 white cards, eighteen green cards, and one blue card."

On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers have the most casualties, but the gray card explosion rate is the lowest.

On the contrary, white cards and green cards had the highest success rate, and they picked up a lot of them.

If a few years ago, Xu Gu'an must have been very happy if he had obtained so many white cards and green cards.

It can also play a great role in enhancing the strength of his lineup.

But now, these white cards and green cards can only become sacrificial cards, and they have no other use for him.

He only glanced at each piece of paper, without paying much attention.

Only the blue card was not bad, it was exploded from the corpse of an enemy general.

C- qualification level, after gaining enough experience energy, can quickly restore to the original innate combat power.

This blue card has a certain strengthening effect on his lineup. It may not have the training value of the two blue cards of Weng Yanliyuan, but it is better than the green card anyway.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Gu'an replaced the Luna Cultist card of the green product and put on the general card of the blue product.

As a result, Weng Yan's first bond of the blood of the Moon God could no longer be triggered, and the combat power value dropped by dozens of points.

But there is no way, Xu Gu'an can only make a choice between them, whoever is allowed to play will only have these six seats.

If he gets another blue card in the future, Li Yuan's green bond card can only be replaced.

As long as the overall combat power of the lineup is rising.

"It's time to spawn monsters." Xu Gu'an secretly said, after confirming the lineup, Xu Gu'an immediately chose to start the next dungeon today.

With so many character cards that could be sacrificed, he naturally had to make good use of them.

At that time, they will become the experience babies of the two blue cards of Li Yuan and Weng Yan, raising their combat power to a new height.

The next day, Xu Guan officially returned to the martial arts academy.

Along the way, many students from the martial arts academy all looked sideways at Xu Gu'an.

Although Xu Gu An suddenly disappeared for more than half a year, there are still various legends about him circulating in the martial arts academy.

Come back now, some senior students naturally recognized Xu Gu'an at a glance.

However, there are also some new faces, who don't know much about Xu Gu'an, and are a little at a loss.

Many of them are freshmen this year, and it can be said that they have never seen Xu Gu'an's true face.

Speaking of this year, Xu Gu'an not only missed the freshman martial arts meeting, but also missed his annual big exam.

In fact, even if the old dean doesn't open the back door for him, it doesn't make any difference.

During the month of the big exam, no one would challenge him beyond their means.

Nowadays, among the students of these martial arts academy, they can't even find a student whose cultivation level is close to Xu Gu'an's, let alone challenge him.

"This is the first-time genius of that student. He really has an extraordinary appearance and looks very strong!"

"The rumors are so mysterious. In the end, it is just the same two hands, two legs and one head as us. Why belittle yourself, give me another year, and I will challenge him next year!"

"I think it's better to forget it. I heard that those seniors in the senior grades dare not easily challenge this genius. Freshmen like us are too far behind."

"You can't say that. It's rumored that this genius didn't enter the martial arts academy at the age of 15. Even if you count the days, you are only young this year. How is it different from us?"

"Why, even you want to challenge the number one genius in the martial arts school?"

"The title of the first genius is so resounding. Even if you lose, you have to try it to know the difference. If it's just a false name, why not replace it with me?"

"In terms of self-confidence, you have to be newcomers." Some old students listened to this, only found it funny, and at the same time felt that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

They are all people who have seen Xu Gu'an's strength with their own eyes, and they know that the name of the first genius of the martial arts academy is not a lie.

Even though Xu Gu'an had disappeared for more than half a year, he only showed up now.

But they believed that as long as Xu Gu'an was still alive, his strength would only be stronger than half a year ago.

Those who talk big are basically the ones who have never experienced Xu Gu'an's strength.
