Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

Listening to Qing Mu’s words, Gu Yu nodded and smiled, saying, “That’s no problem. Pricing them based on their different abilities is quite reasonable, and the prices you’ve offered aren’t expensive at all. To be honest, considering their abilities, the prices you’re offering are relatively low, and we have no objections.”

In fact, just after listening to Qing Mu’s introduction, Gu Yu felt that the price for buying these cards should be higher than that of the Blay Buckle and Spades Arouse Cards.

Because the value of these cards had already surpassed the value of the Rider system itself.

The Rider system wasn’t worth much.

It was the cards that could unleash more powerful abilities of the Rider system that held the real value.

Just like how Dong Dama sold enhancement items.

Even more expensive than belts.

Qing Mu’s offer made Gu Yu feel like he was making a profitable deal.

Seeing the other party readily accepting his offer without hesitation, Qing Mu smiled. He liked dealing with straightforward people.

As for the money, it was just a number.

Leaning back on the couch, Qing Mu said, “That’s good. I trust you. These cards are yours. Just transfer the money to my account when you’re ready.”

He was confident that Yancheng Defense Base wouldn’t dare to renege on their payment.

Unless they got tired of living.

“You’re a straightforward person. I like dealing with people like you.”

Gu Yu picked up all the Rouse Cards on the table, took out the Spades A Spider Rouse Card, and then handed the rest of the cards to Lin Qianqian.

“Qianqian, these Rouse Cards will be yours from now on. You can keep them.”

The Spades A Spider Rouse Card had transformation abilities and was quite valuable for research.

Lin Qianqian having a Spades A card for transformation was enough; giving her this extra one would be wasteful.

“For me? Professor Gu Yu, what does this mean? Am I the one chosen to use the Blay Buckle and Rouse Cards?” Lin Qianqian looked at Gu Yu in surprise.

She had never imagined that she would be so lucky to have a second Rider system.

Moreover, it’s a Rider system even more powerful than the Zero-One Driver.

With the support of so many cards, Lin Qianqian could imagine that the power she was about to possess would be exponentially stronger than before.

“That’s right. According to my investigation, within the entire Yancheng Defense Base, you are the most suitable person to use the Blay Buckle. Your compatibility with this Rider system has surpassed 100%, reaching an undetectable level. It’s as if this Rider system was tailor-made for you.”

As he spoke, Gu Yu had already taken out the Blay Buckle and Spades Arouse Cards and placed them in front of Lin Qianqian.

Even Qing Mu, upon hearing this, looked at Lin Qianqian with some surprise. “Your compatibility with this Rider system is over 100%?”

The reason why Kazuma Kenzaki could become the only person in the Kamen Rider Blade TV series to activate King Form was because his compatibility with the Rider system was extremely high, reaching an astonishing 400%.

So, he could fuse all the power of the Spades Rouse Cards and upgrade into the Emperor Form.

Although Lin Qianqian’s compatibility wasn’t as high as Kazuma Kenzaki’s, surpassing 100% compatibility indicated that she might also be eligible to activate the King Form.

This gave Qing Mu some ideas.

Perhaps his hope of obtaining the Emperor Sword Form card could be placed on Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian didn’t react immediately and didn’t know what to say.

Gu Yu said to Qing Mu, “That’s correct. Her compatibility with this Rider system is over 100%, making her the most suitable candidate for this Rider system. Therefore, after discussing it with Minister Lin, we unanimously decided to entrust this Rider system to Qianqian.”

“This… a pie in the sky,” Lin Qianqian was excited beyond words.

“Alright, Qianqian, accept this Rider system. It’s yours from now on. Make good use of it.”

Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Lin Qianqian couldn’t wait to hold the Blay Buckle and Rouse Cards in her hands.

Although she hadn’t used this Rider system yet, just from Qing Mu’s description, Lin Qianqian was already filled with anticipation for the power of this Rider system. She wished there would be a monster right away for her to experience the power of this Rider system.

“By the way, what about the Zero-One Driver I used before? Should I return it?”

“No need. You can keep the Zero-One Driver as a backup, just in case.”

If it were someone else, upon receiving a new Rider system, they would typically return the old one for redistribution to others.

However, as Miss Lin and the daughter of Lin Zhendong, she naturally had some privileges.

Having two Rider systems, one to use and one as a backup, was a minor matter.

Upon hearing that she could keep the Zero-One Driver, Lin Qianqian was excited beyond measure.

Although the power of the Zero-One Driver wasn’t very strong, after using it for so long, she had developed some attachment to it. Giving it up would be difficult for her.

Even if it couldn’t be of much use, she couldn’t bear to part with it. Keeping it as a memento would suffice.

Seeing Lin Qianqian’s ecstatic expression, Qing Mu couldn’t help but offer a reminder:

“Lin Qianqian, let me remind you of something. The strength of this Rider system is built upon the foundation of these cards. Without the cards, its power will be greatly diminished. So, you must safeguard these cards and ensure that no one takes them from you, do you understand?”

The Blay Buckle and these Rouse Cards were all stolen goods that Qing Mu had taken from Eternal Technology Inc. Eternal Technology Inc. would undoubtedly do everything in their power to retrieve these cards. Qing Mu was concerned that Lin Qianqian might encounter trouble and have the cards stolen from her, which would be troublesome.

Although he didn’t need the power of these cards himself, it would still be uncomfortable if they were taken by enemies.

“I understand. I won’t let anyone have a chance to steal these cards from me. Unless they kill me, I will definitely protect these cards!” Lin Qianqian said firmly.

As a Kamen Rider, if she couldn’t even protect her transformation device and equipment, how would she be seen by others in the future?

“That’s good. Well, if there’s nothing else, you can go for now. I also need some rest.”

With the main business concluded, Qing Mu was ready to see his guests off.

Lin Qianqian and Gu Yu were eager to go back and test the abilities of the Blay Buckle and various Rouse Cards, so they promptly bid farewell and left.

After seeing them off, Qing Mu retired for some rest without getting into any further trouble.

On the other side,

Li Ling’er lay on her bed, making a call to her father, Li Mingwei.

After preparing herself mentally, she was finally ready to come clean with her father, Li Mingwei.

“Dad, you should be done with work at this time, right? Do you have a moment? I’d like to talk to you.”

“My sweet daughter, if you want to talk to me, I’ll make time no matter what. What’s on your mind?”

Li Ling’er was Li Mingwei’s only daughter, and she had been doted on from childhood. She was like a precious gem in his eyes, and he couldn’t stand to see her suffer in the slightest.

“Father, I want to tell you that our family possesses a unique bloodline that can awaken powerful abilities.”

“Ling’er, what are you talking about? Have you been watching strange TV shows or cartoons and gotten confused?”

Upon hearing Li Ling’er’s words, Li Mingwei initially thought that his daughter might have lost her mind. How else could she say something so nonsensical? Such words were beyond the realm of normalcy.

“Dad, I’m not making this up. In fact, I discovered I had some kind of special ability a few months ago, but I didn’t know what it meant. That’s why I haven’t dared to tell you until now. Recently, I found a great teacher who told me that the power we possess comes from the God of Light, White God…”

Li Ling’er proceeded to tell Li Mingwei everything about the White God bloodline, the Black God, Kamen Rider Agito, and Lord.

Li Mingwei listened without interrupting, letting his daughter speak her piece. Even after Li Ling’er finished speaking, Li Mingwei remained silent, deep in thought.

“Dad, are you still there? Dad? Hello?”

“I’m here, Ling’er. I heard everything you said.”

There was an unspoken weariness and despondency in Li Mingwei’s tone.

Worried that her father might not believe her, Li Ling’er emphasized, “Dad, everything I’ve told you is true. You have to believe me.”

“Everything you said, Dad believes. Ling’er, you’re my good daughter. How could I not believe you? Here’s what we’ll do. Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to pick you and your friends up. You can all take a two-day leave from school and come back to Longcheng. There are some things I want to discuss with you.”

“Huh? Dad, what’s going on?”

“Don’t ask now, Ling’er. You’ll find out when you get back.”

Li Mingwei sounded mysterious, piquing Li Ling’er’s curiosity.

“Okay, Dad. I’ll talk to my friends, and tomorrow, we’ll all return to Longcheng together.”

“Good.”

The call ended.

Li Ling’er set her phone down and stared at the ceiling, puzzled.

“Why did my dad suddenly call us back to Longcheng? Couldn’t he have discussed whatever it is over the phone?”

After pondering for a while, she couldn’t make sense of it.

Li Ling’er decided to stop thinking about it and simply let go of her concerns.

“Da!”

Suddenly, the PunchHopper Zecter appeared, standing next to Li Ling’er, and gently nudged her.

“Hehe, goodnight.”

Li Ling’er patted the PunchHopper Zecter’s head, then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

PunchHopper Zecter, like a loyal guardian, stood by Li Ling’er’s side, silently protecting her.

Qing Mu still couldn’t quite figure out why PunchHopper Zecter and KickHopper Zecter had chosen Li Ling’er and Tian Mi.

In the world of Kamen Rider Kabuto, PunchHopper Zecter and KickHopper Zecter were discarded by the Zect organization as failed prototypes. This led them to seek out Kagami Arata and Yaguruma Sō, both of whom had been similarly abandoned by the Zect organization, as suitable hosts.

However, in this world, PunchHopper Zecter and KickHopper Zecter were not discarded by the simulated Si Mu but were instead cherished as crystallized life essences. This led Qing Mu to speculate that this different treatment might be why the Zecter chose Li Ling’er and Tian Mi, two kind and gentle girls, as their hosts.

…

The next day, Qing Mu arrived at the school gate.

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi had been waiting there for a while and intercepted Qing Mu.

“Qing Mu!”

“Good morning! Why aren’t you going in? What are you waiting for at the gate? Me?”

Li Ling’er stood in front of Qing Mu, feeling a bit embarrassed. She said, “Qing Mu, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

“What’s the matter? Just tell me. Why are you acting so coy? It’s like you’re about to confess something,” Qing Mu said, finding Li Ling’er’s shy demeanor somewhat strange.

“Well, my dad said he wants you to come with me and Tian Mi to Longcheng. He mentioned that he has something to discuss with us. He has already sent someone to pick us up. I don’t know if you can agree.”

Even though she knew it wasn’t quite like that, Li Ling’er felt as if she were about to introduce Qing Mu to her parents, making her feel shy and awkward.

“Go to Longcheng and meet your dad? Did he say what it’s about?”

Qing Mu rarely left Yan Cheng unless it was for something important. He didn’t like traveling aimlessly.

Li Ling’er replied, “My dad didn’t say much. He just mentioned that he would tell us when we get there. It’s okay if you don’t want to go. Tian Mi and I can go on our own, and you don’t need to force yourself.”

From Qing Mu’s expression, it seemed like he wasn’t very keen on going.

Li Ling’er, afraid of upsetting Qing Mu, began to backtrack. After all, it was a bit of an imposition to suddenly ask Qing Mu to come home with her.

After thinking for a moment, Qing Mu patted Li Ling’er’s shoulder and smiled, “It’s okay, it’s the weekend after tomorrow anyway. I’ll go with you to Longcheng. It’s just a trip, and we can have a little vacation.”

Being around wealthy people sometimes had its perks, like a free trip.

It seemed like he wouldn’t have to spend his own money for this trip.

He thought it would be a good opportunity to see what a real wealthy family was like and gain some insights.

“Really? Qing Mu, you agreed?” Li Ling’er looked at Qing Mu with delight.

“Yes, I agreed. Shall we head to the airport now? I’ll make a quick call to the counselor to request time off.” Qing Mu took out his phone, preparing to call the counselor.

At this moment, Tian Mi chimed in, “No need, no need. We’ve already arranged for time off with the counselor. Let’s just go to the airport now. Li Ling’er’s dad has arranged a private plane, and we’ll take off as soon as we arrive. It’ll only take two hours to get to Longcheng.”

Qing Mu couldn’t help but smile wryly, “You two, you even arranged for time off on my behalf. If I hadn’t agreed, were you planning to kidnap me and take me to Longcheng?”

“Of course not! We would have knelt down and begged you. You can’t possibly resist the pleas of two beautiful girls on their knees, can you?” Tian Mi winked mischievously, as if she were trying to charm Qing Mu.

“You two,” Qing Mu shook his head, feeling helpless. There was no way he could refuse reasonable and reasonable requests from friends.

Afterward, the three of them hailed a taxi by the roadside and headed to Yan Cheng Airport. Since they were taking a chartered flight, they went through the airport’s green channel. In less than ten minutes, they were already on the luxurious private jet arranged by Li Mingwei.

Qing Mu sat on an expensive sofa, looking around, and couldn’t help but sigh, “The evils of capitalism. Li Ling’er, is this plane owned by your family?”

“This plane doesn’t belong to our family. It’s owned by an aviation company under our family’s name. It’s mainly used for renting out and hosting air parties. I had my 18th birthday party on this plane,” Li Ling’er explained.

Li Ling’er’s explanation gave Qing Mu a deeper understanding of the world of capitalism. Although this trip was arranged at the last minute, it didn’t lack for fine details, including red wine, steaks, ham, and seafood.

As they chatted and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast,

The plane was approaching the skies over Longcheng.

Looking out of the window at the scenery below, Qing Mu couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of anticipation for this trip to Longcheng.

Longcheng was the capital of Dragon Country and its most significant city. In terms of economy, culture, and defense capabilities, it far surpassed Yan Cheng.

Since he was already here, Qing Mu thought it was an excellent opportunity to experience what Longcheng had to offer.
