My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 559 - 422: All-Star Tournament (4K)

"How did you do it?" Wang Ming checked the young Life Card Master lying on the ground, looking at Shen Sui in disbelief.

"This shouldn’t be difficult, right?" Shen Sui didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Wang Ming gave Shen Sui a deep look.

But didn’t probe further.

After getting the reason from Shen Sui on how Guo Zetian was able to escape repeatedly, Wang Ming temporarily put the matter aside and instead discussed the matter of the Pacific Cruise Championship with Shen Sui.

"I never had the time before, and now that we’ve run into each other, I might as well talk to you about it." Wang Ming ran a hand through his hair, pulling out quite a bit, and said to Shen Sui with a wry smile, "I reckon in the coming months, I still won’t have any free time."

Shen Sui sighed, patted Wang Ming on the shoulder, and said empathetically, "I get you, working folks, losing hair from overtime is normal."

"Ah, but it’s not quite the same." Wang Ming looked up and said, "The Exploration Bureau actually pays overtime, fifteen hundred an hour."

Shen Sui didn’t know how to respond: "Do they even pay overtime for things like this? Why do you look so proud? Isn’t this risky work? Is this little bit of money really worth it?"

Wang Ming eyed Shen Sui suspiciously: "Is this young master experiencing life outside for the first time?"

Shen Sui was teased into silence for a while.

Moreover, this was the Exploration Bureau’s lowest treatment, actually, Wang Ming’s would be even higher.

This really wasn’t about the Exploration Bureau’s benefits, mainly because the Exploration Bureau’s external decision-making department could hardly be said to have life-threatening risks. If luck wasn’t on your side, you wouldn’t even own your body. If the benefits weren’t increased, you couldn’t always expect members’ dedication, could you?

"In that case, going on the cruise means risking my life too." Shen Sui crossed his arms, glanced at Wang Ming, and said, "So what rewards should I ask for from the Exploration Bureau?"

Shen Sui actually didn’t care about rewards at all. Several selectable Life Cards from the Exploration Bureau’s mission rewards hadn’t been picked yet; Shen Sui planned to wait until his decks were almost complete before choosing Life Cards to fill the gaps.

He said this merely to tease Wang Ming.

The two verbally sparred a bit until finally getting to the main topic.

"During our survey of domestic Life Card Masters from World No. 5, we unexpectedly found anomalies in a few Life Card Masters," Wang Ming told Shen Sui. "They weren’t possessed by strong men from World No. 5, but were completely replaced. It was some kind of bizarre power. If not for our survey, we wouldn’t have discovered it."

"They were completely replaced?" Several magical spells capable of achieving similar effects flashed through Shen Sui’s mind.

Wang Ming nodded, saying, "Fearing to rattle the grass and startle the snake, we didn’t take aggressive actions against them, just investigated their identities."

"These individuals are all prominent rich heirs in the country and have all participated in the Pacific Cruise Championship." Wang Ming brought out a tablet, showing Shen Sui their details, "Therefore, we investigated all the Life Card Masters who participated in the Pacific Cruise Championship domestically and found that every one of them had been replaced."

Pacific Ocean.

Replacement.

Shen Sui suddenly remembered the Life Cards Martina brought from the sea, and the bodies of Life Card Masters she mentioned finding on the seabed. (Chapter 331)

"There’s definitely a problem with the Pacific Cruise Championship." Wang Ming swiped through the tablet, displaying information related to the cruise to Shen Sui, "I thought it would be best to explain this situation to you, as it must be very dangerous there. If you feel it’s not worth the risk, we won’t force you."

After glancing at the information, Shen Sui asked, "If I don’t go, what are you planning to do?"

"Sink the ship at the narrowest part of the Panama Canal."

"..." Shen Sui was stunned for a moment, "Why does this strategy sound so familiar?"

"I feel it too." Wang Ming joined in on the banter with Shen Sui, "Dean Bu drafted this plan; he likes to read sci-fi novels in his spare time, you know."

"Speaking of which, has Dean Bu developed a pre-built deck module?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"It’s in the testing phase." Wang Ming replied, "Several professional Life Card Masters aware of the Extraordinary Invasion event and cooperating with the Exploration Bureau have been given it."

Shen Sui pointed to himself, "Aren’t I one of them?"

He was just short of a pre-built deck module, so he could have more fun with various decks and strange strategies.

"I’ll send it to you right away." Wang Ming smiled, "Weren’t you competing in Huashan? We were afraid the new module might affect the stability of the Dueling Device, so we didn’t let you participate in the testing."

Under Wang Ming’s guidance, Shen Sui successfully installed the pre-built module.

"The beta version is complete, with ten pre-built decks that can be memorized." Wang Ming explained, "When officially released, it’s estimated only three will be available, and Life Card Masters will need to pay to unlock the rest."

"Ah? It even has in-app purchases?"

"No choice, the Exploration Bureau’s expenses are too high nowadays; we need revenue." Wang Ming said, "Besides, three pre-built decks are generally enough for most people."

"One for competitions, one for fun, one for combat, and one for... admiration." Shen Sui gestured, "How’s that enough?"
