My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 560 - 422: All-Star Tournament (4K)

"What’s this about a whole deck of licking cards?" Wang Ming complained.

"I put so much effort into building my chick card deck, can’t I just lick it?"

Wang Ming was taken aback, then asked, "But... do you have an all-girls card deck?"

Shen Sui remained silent.

"Alright, alright, let’s not dwell on that." Wang Ming knew that continuing this topic would make Shen Sui uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and changed the subject, "Let’s talk about the cruise tournament instead."

"This Saint Yimiti, we suspect, is one of the properties of the Descent Association." Wang Ming continued, "But just based on the surname of the Twilight Saintess, we can’t be certain about this."

"Speaking of which, wasn’t it said before that the Descent Association wanted to summon the Twilight Bishop in reality?" Shen Sui pondered, "But according to the information I got from World No. 1, the Pseudo-Dusk Council over there, which is connected to the Descent Association, doesn’t seem to acknowledge the status of the Twilight Bishop..."

"True believers, when intending to rule or destroy the world, generally don’t choose to summon the deity they worship." Wang Ming provided a rather reasonable explanation, "Instead, they might choose to summon the henchmen, or... the dogs of their deity."

"That’s a bit much, you know." Shen Sui retorted.

Wang Ming coughed twice, "Just a guess, just a guess. After all, from the history still preserved in World No. 1, the Twilight Bishop always acts according to the instructions of the Twilight Saintess."

Isn’t playing a game and doing quests all about following the NPC’s instructions?

Shen Sui was begrudgingly resentful, but what Wang Ming said might actually have some validity.

No way, if that’s really the case, this Pseudo-Dusk Council absolutely cannot remain, it’s just insulting me.

When I go back, I’ll give Arianna a directive to investigate the information about this Pseudo-Dusk Council within the War God Church.

Shen Sui then remembered Lord Death God, who had been relegated to the back of his mind.

Judging by the actions of those Pseudo-Dusk Council members fleeing to find the War God High Priest from the Ice Lake, there must be some shady relationship between them.

"Alright, we’ve about got the situation." Wang Ming told Shen Sui, "I’ll have someone send you back later."

"Forget it, you guys are so busy." Shen Sui waved his hand dismissively.

Wang Ming didn’t insist either, after all, he was indeed busy, "Alright then."

With that, he saw Shen Sui off to the school gate.

"It’s rare to come back to school, and I end up running into something like this." Shen Sui quipped as he was leaving, "I was planning to check out the newly set up online Life Card trading system."

Not long ago, the official price restrictions on Life Cards were lifted, and people began to upload their Life Cards to the official Life Card Store one after another.

However, due to free pricing, the current prices are clearly inflated, and Shen Sui estimated that it would take some time for the Life Card prices to stabilize.

This fluctuation in Life Card prices wasn’t particularly fatal for Life Card Masters in Huaxia. Aside from a few clueless people getting the short end, others didn’t have many purchasing channels for Life Cards before, so if the price was too high, they simply wouldn’t buy.

"Oh, by the way." As Shen Sui was about to get in the car, Wang Ming suddenly spoke, "Do your best in the All-Star competition at the end of the month, I voted for you."

All-Star competition?

Shen Sui felt a bit puzzled; he hadn’t received any notification.

Seeing Shen Sui’s expression, Wang Ming said helplessly, "Are you a professional Life Card Master or not? How do you not even pay attention to competition information?"

Can I just say... usually, it’s my coach who arranges these things for me? I’ve been happily hands-off for quite a while now.

Wang Ming’s reminder jogged Shen Sui’s memory about the All-Star competition, which was a very interesting event.

The All-Star competition, just looking at some of the events inside, makes one feel the urge to grab some snacks and watch.

The unlimited brawl mode with no Soul Points restrictions.

The teammates-sabotaging-each-other doubles mode.

The Forbidden Card mode testing the worth of the Forbidden Card List.

All of these are showcase events at the All-Star competition.

Besides these, there are bizarre race types like the Celebrity Challenge.

The All-Star competition has no points system; the total champion is decided by the number of wins across various formats, and the overall champion’s prize is a commemorative coin with your Soul Card image on it, which, apart from its commemorative value, is practically worth nothing.

So many Life Card Masters participate in the All-Star competition with an entertainment mindset, leading to all sorts of strange and amusing plays during the competition, creating legendary moments that make people laugh and cry.

The memes of You Wenqi, heavily teased by netizens, come from the doubles mode in the All-Star competition, where he was terribly sabotaged by Tan Song.

Tan Song famously liberated You Wenqi’s ace Follower, only to summon a 1-star Dao Child with Soul Points, a scene that people still talk about with relish.

"Oh, the All-Star competition." On the phone, Xinyuan Tanchun said, "The results of the online voting aren’t out yet, so I haven’t told you, but judging by your votes, you should have no problem participating in the All-Star competition."

The All-Star competition is held from December 31st to January 1st, and there’ll even be a New Year’s Duel.

Netizens usually call this duel the ultimate duel spanning two years.

Of course, such a duel is typically the grand finale and has little to do with someone like Shen Sui, who’s just made a name.

"It’s an entertainment event. If you’re interested in that commemorative coin, you might as well prepare." Xinyuan Tanchun said.

Since a Life Card Duel doesn’t have a coin toss option, having coins isn’t much use for a Life Card Master. But since it has your Soul Card form engraved on it, it does symbolize something.

With more than twenty days until the All-Star competition, Shen Sui wasn’t in a rush to participate.

Considering he still had to head out to sea next month for a competition, after consulting Shen Sui’s preferences, Xinyuan Tanchun didn’t schedule more matches for Shen Sui.

Of course, just because there are no tournaments doesn’t mean there are no duels.

For someone who enjoys a world like this, Shen Sui finds it unbearable to stay idle.

To hold him back from dueling for more than twenty days would leave him suffocated.

Shen Sui returned home in the evening.

"Did Martina set sail again today?" Shen Sui asked, looking at a table full of seafood.

Qishala chuckled, "Martina brought it from the Dawn Continent. It’s been a while since we tasted our hometown’s flavors."

Shen Sui recalled his earlier thought of wanting to boost the Soul Card forms of a few of his wives, and said, "Never mind, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to go back."

The ingredients from the Dawn Continent carry natural power, which in the game, besides restoring life and Magic Power, also provide various magical buffs.

However, these buffs are mostly a bonus, something Shen Sui would consume for fun when mining or fishing for the thrill.

After dinner, Shen Sui went to his dedicated lab and started selecting materials needed for crafting tools.

"Are these for summoning our cards?" Freymia, also unable to bear boredom, roamed into Shen Sui’s lab after dinner, seeing Shen Sui crafting cards right as she walked in.

"They seem a bit longer than Life Cards." Freymia gestured, admiring the card’s unique and intricate Demon Pattern, "But they’re quite beautiful."

"Pretty, aren’t they?" Shen Sui chuckled.

"Feels like something that doesn’t match your aesthetic." Freymia mumbled.

Shen Sui shot a glance at Freymia, "Is there a problem with something I made?"

Freymia pulled out the necklace from her chest, an incredibly ugly item that begged for one to question the creator’s mental state at the time: "What do you think?"

"Ahem, that was an outlier."

Freymia lifted her skirt, revealing a leg ring with no comprehensible appearance strapped onto her thigh: "Oh? Really now?"

"If it’s that much of a deal, just don’t wear it." Shen Sui gritted his teeth.

Freymia tilted her head with a smug expression, "I just like wearing what you give me, got a problem with that?"
