My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 548 - 418: Shen Sui Begins Considering Refreshing Forms (4K)_2
About 2.1 billion layers.
Shen Sui didn’t think anyone could dig down to 2.1 billion layers and then go exploring.
Freymia blinked, "Oh? Even you didn’t reach the bottom? No wonder you kept running to the Thousand-Year Mine later, so it turns out it’s impossible to reach the bottom."
"Honestly, thinking back, you were really excessive back then." Freymia pouted, "There were so many cute and beautiful girls at home, yet you spent all day mining and fishing. Don’t you know how to do any naughty things?"
Even if I wanted to do naughty things, the program still has to allow it!
Dawn Link is a 16+ game, not 18+.
That they gave me so many alluring costumes already pushed the limits of what the production team was willing to compromise.
In the game, Shen Sui could descend 200 layers in a day, but in reality, the difficulty of mining was much higher, and there were no magical ladder tools to assist. So Alice and Laudon were noticeably slower.
Shen Sui glanced over. At this rate, they’d probably reach the Treasure Box with the Giant’s Crown at the 200th layer of the mine cave lake by evening.
With Laudon as a bodyguard, Shen Sui didn’t have to worry about Alice for now.
Rubbing his hands, he flashed a mischievous grin and dashed into the kitchen.
Three minutes later, Shen Sui, covered in flour, walked dejectedly out of the kitchen.
Qishala really doesn’t allow fooling around.
Freymia burst out laughing upon seeing Shen Sui’s condition.
Shen Sui had planned to properly retaliate against this elf who dared to mock his beloved, but just then, Xinyuan Tanchun’s message came in.
Upon checking his phone, it was information about the Promotion Tournament.
When Shen Sui returned to Modu, it was already December. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
If he wanted to jump to the eighth level, he absolutely couldn’t miss the January Pacific Cruise Race. Therefore, he needed to complete all the Promotion Tournaments to advance to the seventh level this month.
"Damn it! I went to so many places, practically begging everyone to arrange your Promotion Tournament properly." Xinyuan Tanchun arrived at the villa, and upon seeing Shen Sui, she immediately said angrily, "You act like such a hands-off overseer, paying no attention, still needing me to send a message to notify you to come and participate."
"I can’t help it, just got back home, there’s a ton of things to do." Shen Sui realized he was in the wrong and quickly apologized.
Xinyuan Tanchun sighed; she was already accustomed to Shen Sui’s personality, and then said, "The opponents for the Promotion Tournament are confidential. There are so many seventh-level Life Card Masters, I can’t predict them for you, but it shouldn’t matter who your opponent is, right?"
"You can’t say it’s absolutely certain." Shen Sui said, "If every opponent is like Cezar, without prior intelligence analysis, it would still be somewhat difficult."
Xinyuan Tanchun’s mouth twitched, unsure of what to say.
If all seventh-level Life Card Masters in Modu were as strong as Cezar, Huaxia would have long been the number one competition region in the world.
"By the way." As Xinyuan Tanchun was about to leave, Shen Sui reminded, "It’s not very safe outside nowadays; you should be careful if you’re always out and about."
Xinyuan Tanchun knew what Shen Sui was referring to, and still found time to complain: "I know. Who would have thought there would be so many madmen domestically, despite it being a Soul Card World that’s clearly prohibited."
"Nothing can be done, there are too many people, and with many fools and rich folks," Shen Sui shrugged.
As World No. 8’s Dominators fell one after another, the followers of Dominators hidden in the shadows of reality’s Otherworld also spiraled into madness.
In Huaxia, it was better, with most Life Card Masters obtaining their Dueling Devices for free through official duel exams, choosing the Soul Card World without the option of World No. 8.
Nonetheless, it was severe elsewhere, especially in countries sheltering these organizations.
It’s said that not long ago, The All-Knowing caused a major incident in the US, sparking global uproar.
Though there were fewer Life Card Masters of World No. 8 in Huaxia, they weren’t non-existent.
Even without mentioning those from the Suffering Poetry Society, quite a few chose to believe in foreign crooked paths due to their illegitimate wealth or guilty consciences, purchasing Dueling Devices to bypass restrictions and access World No. 8 to engage with Dominators.
These individuals fell into madness upon the Dominator’s death.
Wang Ming had just finished addressing an erratic Soul Card incident and immediately began tackling these issues non-stop, opting for a month’s leave from his teaching assistant role at Tianyi Academy.
Shen Sui checked the Promotion Tournament schedule.
There were three matches in total, held over separate days due to the opponents’ schedules. However, following reforms, the Promotion Tournament now had a significantly shorter duration than before.
With fewer matches, more Life Card Masters were available as opponents, making selection easier.
Three consecutive days of duels weren’t particularly intense for Shen Sui.
His first Promotion Tournament match was already scheduled for tomorrow, thanks to Xinyuan Tanchun’s prior arrangements; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly be arranged so quickly.
Having such a dedicated coach to arrange his matches and promotions was truly a blessing.
Shen Sui was deeply moved, considering having Isabella intentionally do something to help Xinyuan Tanchun grind her Life Card skills sometime.
Speaking of which, Isabella on Xinyuan Tanchun’s end should also have a puppet-like form; who knows what effect that form would have?
"Has Miss Xinyuan left?" Qishala came out with the meals, manually holding a tray instead of using magic, considering Xinyuan Tanchun might still be around. Upon emerging, she found Xinyuan Tanchun had already left.
"Oh, I forgot to invite her for a meal." Shen Sui suddenly realized.
Qishala didn’t know what to say; the master’s personality was really similar to Martina’s.
What she didn’t know was that Shen Sui was actually a socially anxious homebody in his previous life, the type that would stay in his room gaming all day, wishing to never encounter human interactions.
But young people usually don’t prioritize these matters, and perhaps Xinyuan Tanchun might even prefer not being invited for a meal.
After all, her presence at Shen Sui’s family dinner would just highlight being unnecessary.
After lunch, Shen Sui dragged Freymia along to continue testing the stability of the [Puppet] deck.
In truth, this deck Shen Sui currently had, assuming the Soul Card could roll strong forms, was already very powerful.
But since so many Life Cards were drawn, it would always be a regret if they weren’t used.
Shen Sui often added some odd cards to the deck, which occasionally had unexpected effects, but most of the time were used as discard resources.
Speaking of boosting Soul Card strength...
While sorting through his deck, Shen Sui watched Freymia change clothes nearby.
Be it Qishala, Freymia, or Martina, they were all fourteenth-level powerhouses, far more likely than Alice to roll strong forms.
Although Alice rolled various forms, limited by her ninth-level strength, even if Shen Sui adjusted Life Card effects, achieving the perfect result was often impossible.
But with fourteenth-level, there was ample space for Shen Sui to tweak effects.
Shen Sui stroked his chin, seriously contemplating how to refresh forms for the three.
"What are you thinking about?" Freymia curiously asked.
"About the strength of Soul Card forms," Shen Sui admitted.
Freymia chuckled, "You’re really hooked, thinking about duels even in the Sage Moment."
Shen Sui then shared his thoughts with Freymia.
Freymia twirled her eyes sneakily before proposing an idea:
"If you want us to refresh forms, there’s actually a good way. But it depends on Alice."
"How so?"
Freymia grinned, "When Alice encounters a strong enemy she truly can’t beat, don’t interfere; let us be summoned to help her overcome it, and we should have a chance to roll new forms, right?"
