My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 586 - 431: Tang Lili’s Troubles and Shen Sui’s Contemplations (6K)_2

With the help of her team's fans, internet gossipers passing by, viewers who were unimpressed with other names on the list, and a group of netizens eager to watch a cat girl play cards, Lily Tang's popularity skyrocketed like a rocket, eventually claiming the top spot on the popularity chart and securing a ticket to the All-Star event.

And then, Lily Tang found herself in an awkward spot.

Her first reaction was to decline the invitation.

This list was actually more of a wish list from netizens hoping the organizers would invite certain players, and the players had the right to decline the invitation to the All-Star event.

However, in general, not many would decline to participate in such a high-profile entertainment event.

So, if she declined the invitation, it would immediately ignite public speculation.

She hadn't done anything wrong, but she might end up being seen as someone who backed out because of being caught rigging the votes.

But if she accepted the invitation, given her skills...

"Go! You have to go!" Her manager insisted firmly, "If you don't go, our popularity is doomed!"

Vote rigging—every idol has done it at some point, some were initiated by fans, some done themselves, as long as it isn't discovered, it's no big deal.

But if it gets exposed, that would be a huge stain.

If she had done it, she could take the blame.

But Lily Tang hadn't rigged any votes!

"So, do you think I should participate in the All-Star event?" Lily Tang ultimately made a phone call for advice to another unconventional name on the list—Shen Sui.

"Go, why not go?" Shen Sui said naturally, "It's such a great opportunity."

"Such a great opportunity?" Lily Tang instinctively repeated.

"Yes." Shen Sui slurped some noodles and said, "Usually, if you want to duel a ninth-level Life Card Master, they wouldn't bother with a weakling like you. Now they have to duel with you; isn't it a chance to challenge powerful Life Card Masters?"

Lily Tang replied speechlessly, "Weakling... Couldn't you put it less bluntly?"

But Shen Sui's words truly stirred something in Lily Tang.

She had been considering the pros and cons from her idol persona, but essentially, she was a Life Card Master! She became an idol just to gather some essential skills for her Soul Card!

As a Life Card Master, how could she refuse an opportunity to duel with ninth-level Life Card Masters?

Imagining dueling with Tan Song, dueling with An Hai, dueling with so many renowned ninth-level Life Card Masters, her Duel Spirit was thrilled.

Participate!

Must participate!

She even wished the All-Star event were happening tomorrow.

"Hmm! Besides, my card is still with you!" Lily Tang said seriously, "Even though it's not an official professional arena, it is still a competition. If I win, I'm going to take my card back!"

"Oh." Shen Sui thought of the Life Card Lily Tang left with him.

Although he hadn't used it, the card had some strength.

"Then let's see your skills." Shen Sui smiled and said, "If you can't even win in an entertainment match against me, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to win at all."

"Damn! Damn it!" Lily Tang shouted loudly.

"By the way." Lily Tang suddenly changed the subject and asked, "During the All-Star event, there should be team-based double duels, right? Who are you planning to team up with?"

"For teaming up." Shen Sui thought for a bit and said, "I haven't decided, but it probably won't be a guy."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because just thinking about a male Life Card Master manipulating the followers on my field, especially the female card followers, makes me uncomfortable." Shen Sui expressed honestly.

Lily Tang replied speechlessly, "You, you have a purity obsession, don't you?"

"However, among female Life Card Masters, it's only me and Miss Bai Ye, right?" Lily Tang mumbled.

"Yeah, it's Bai Ye." Shen Sui glanced at his phone, "In fact, she has already invited me to be her partner long before you."

Shen Sui certainly understood why Lily Tang asked this, but he really couldn't refuse Bai Ye.

Moreover, regarding Lin Ke'Er's Soul Card, Shen Sui also had questions for Bai Ye, so he had even less reason to say no.

"Ah...then what about me?" Lily Tang said, like a girl who had just been dumped by a scumbag, but in fact, she simply didn't know anyone else at the All-Star event.

Double duels are generally between friends; apart from greater synergy, they're also comfortable screwing each other over.

Like in the tag duels in Yu-Gi-Oh, if you bring a [Self-destruct Switch] while matching up alone, you're dragging an innocent bystander teammate into the fray. But if you're teaming up with friends, it's a passionate mutual-sabotage drama.

The highest configuration in some games is playing with friends, not just casually mentioned. For some cards, under the same rules and deck and duel strategy, playing with friends is a completely different experience than matching up alone.

Shen Sui chuckled and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't find a teammate, I'll help you find one."

"Huh? Who can you find?" Lily Tang asked, puzzled.

Shen Sui chuckled, "How about Tan Song."

"Huh!" Lily Tang's eyes widened instantly, "Is that even possible?"

"I think he'd be very willing," Shen Sui said, glancing at his phone, "After all, his daughter is a fan of yours. To get your autograph for his daughter, he'd take good care of you throughout the competition."
