Until Zhang Wei and the others left with the divine card 'Obelisk the Tormentor', the chairman and his colleagues were still in a daze.
After a while.
The chairman finally managed to blurt out:
"Go search for nearby ghosts and see if you can force them to turn into game card monsters. If you can, kill them and see if they drop game cards."
In his opinion, it was normal for ghosts to transform into various people, as ghosts had the ability to bewitch people's minds. However, for them to possess the abilities of the 'people' they transformed into after the transformation was impossible; that was no longer transformation, but replication.
But the ghost transforming into Obelisk the Tormentor had overturned his understanding. Not to mention the chairman, even the assistant developed a peculiar thought... Had the monks in Great Xia developed a new profession for ghost exorcism?
"Yes, Chairman, I'll go do it now."
"Wait."
Just as the assistant was about to leave, the chairman called out to him again.
"What is it, Chairman?"
"Help me buy some game cards, and what was that website for watching the Yu-Gi-Oh anime?"
As he spoke.
The chairman's eyes flickered, wanting to research ghost exorcism using game cards.
...
Meanwhile.
On the way back to Shou'er University.
"Wu Nian, how is it? This game card I got for Xia Mei."
Zhang Wei grinned.
Wu Nian listened, clasped his hands together, and said:
"Amitabha, it's very powerful."
Zhang Chao, standing beside them, patted Wu Nian's shoulder and said:
"Hey, Wu Nian, look, I told you, how could the magic item Zhang Wei gave be bad? See, you didn't trust it, and you wanted to test it. Didn't that slap your face? You should trust your brothers, Wu Nian."
As soon as he spoke.
Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Chao, clasped his hands together, and slowly said:
"Amitabha, Zhang Chao, you're changing the subject. Weren't you the one who didn't trust the game card Zhang Wei gave in the first place?"
"Cough, nonsense, I was just reasonably questioning. That wasn't doubt."
Watching Zhang Chao and Wu Nian converse.
Zhang Wei smiled:
"Now you know how amazing I am. Speaking of which, I've already given Xia Mei a protective magic item. What about you, Zhang Chao? Do you want me to prepare some protective magic items for Stephanie too?"
As he said this.
Wu Nian couldn't help but look over, his serene eyes filled with curiosity. He really wanted to know what kind of magic item Zhang Wei would give to Zhang Chao's girlfriend, given that he had given Xia Mei a game card.
Just then.
Zhang Chao waved his hand and said:
"No need. Stephanie already has a protective magic item. I gave her the Balala the Fairies life-sized figure you gave me. Anyway, I already have the Sunwheel Sword you gave me before, so I don't need to carry the Balala the Fairies life-sized figure around."
As he spoke.
Zhang Chao revealed a sly smile and said:
"It's just fun to think about. A 'female wolf' carrying a Balala the Fairies life-sized figure, and then fighting other ghosts, directly throwing out Balala the Fairies."
Before he finished speaking.
Zhang Chao glanced at Zhang Wei and smiled slyly again:
"But if you want to give me an extra magic item, Zhang Wei, I wouldn't mind. Hehe, what protective magic item are you preparing for my girlfriend? A Poké Ball? If there are ghost exorcists targeting Stephanie, she could just throw out the Poké Ball and capture the ghost exorcist?"
Zhang Wei burst out laughing:
"That's a good idea. Actually, I just said it casually, I haven't thought about what protective magic item to give Stephanie. Besides the Poké Ball, what else? Wu Nian, you say something too?"
"I suggest you don't ask Wu Nian. With him being such a quiet person, what good suggestions can he give? He'll definitely suggest some proper consecrated magic items, which won't be discreet at all and won't achieve the element of surprise against enemies."
"Amitabha, Zhang Chao, do not slander this humble monk. This humble monk has pure intentions, but not that I am detached from the world. This humble monk understands quite a bit, especially after spending time with benefactor Xia Mei, this humble monk understands a lot."
"Oh? Understand a lot?"
This was said by Zhang Chao and Zhang Wei in unison. Both of them wore sly smiles. Even without saying it, it was clear that their minds were filled with suggestive thoughts at that moment.
In response.
Wu Nian saw through their thoughts, clasped his hands together, and said:
"Amitabha, don't overthink it. What this humble monk means by understanding a lot is that I understand proper things, a lot of internet slang and memes, as well as popular anime and movies."
"Then tell us, what do you think would be good for my girlfriend Stephanie?"
Involuntarily.
Zhang Wei, Lu Lianxue, and Zhang Chao all looked at Wu Nian. Wu Nian clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha, Zhang Chao, your behavior can be described using the words benefactor Xia Mei taught me: this is putting pressure on this humble monk, but it's fine. This humble monk will take action. Allow this humble monk to think... I think benefactor Stephanie could use a Digivice. I believe you'll like it too, Zhang Chao, because..."
Wu Nian paused, looked at Zhang Chao, and then said:
"Buddha, please forgive what this humble monk is about to say. All of this is for explaining to Zhang Chao. It's just... with your way of thinking, Zhang Chao, if you had a Digivice, and you and benefactor Stephanie were together, and you encountered a ghost, you could pick up the Digivice and have Stephanie Digivolve."
As soon as he spoke.
Zhang Chao's eyes lit up, and Zhang Wei burst out laughing:
"Wu Nian, you're good! This idea is really great. Indeed, with Zhang Chao's personality, if Stephanie had a Digivice, she could Digivolve. If Zhang Chao were present and Stephanie Digivolved, then they wouldn't just be boyfriend and girlfriend, but also master and Digimon. It sounds a little exciting."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei nudged Zhang Chao with his elbow:
"Tell me, are you fantasizing right now about Stephanie Digivolving? For example, having Stephanie Digivolve into Fairymon? Angemon?"
"Cough, nonsense, slander, pure slander! Am I that kind of person? What do you take me for!"
Zhang Chao coughed, his face turning red.
But before he could finish, he coughed again and added:
"However, I admit defeat this time. Wu Nian, your idea is quite good. I think the Digivice is excellent. How about... Zhang Wei, I'll go buy a Digivice tomorrow. Let me say this first, I just genuinely want to give Stephanie another protective magic item, no other intentions."
"I understand, I understand, I get it."
"Amitabha, Buddha, please forgive this humble monk for being friends with such a lewd person."
And so.
They chatted all the way back to Shou'er University.
After bidding farewell to Wu Nian and Zhang Chao, Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue walked into the school.
On the way.
"Xiao Xue, why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, I was just thinking, you agreed to get Stephanie a Digivice for Zhang Chao, why are you buying three Digivices? Doesn't his girlfriend only need one? Who are the other two for? I'm wondering if it's what I'm thinking."
"Yes, it's what you're thinking."
Zhang Wei seemed to know what Lu Lianxue was about to say and said with a smile:
"I think Wu Nian's suggestion is good. Have Zhang Chao buy two more Digivices for me, and then for you and Xiao Mantou, to protect you."
"Are you sure it's just to protect us?"
Lu Lianxue narrowed her eyes, imitating Xiao Mantou's gaze, and looked at Zhang Wei with a smile.
