[Who says poor students can’t be great? Isn’t this a big win over a fifth-level fortune-telling master?]
[Damn! How did this guy win?! I wanted to punch that cat girl!]
[Isn’t this chain too evil? I feel like Xu Tianzhi’s eyes are full of murderous intent.]
[Of course, I want to beat this guy up too, what kind of hell deck is this!]
Xu Tianzhi put the life card back into the duel instrument, walked towards Shen Sui, and announced the fact that he had given up: "You are very good, congratulations. I hope we can meet on the field in the future."
Shen Sui's eyes lit up, passed!
"Thank you." He walked up to Xu Tianzhi and shook his hand. "I'm lucky to win today. If your deck wasn't incomplete, I might not have won."
Xu Tianzhi resisted the urge to beat the other person to death and forced a very reluctant smile: "Don't be modest. With your strength, you will definitely shine in the future."
Chapter 16 The Aragaki Family’s Ambition
"Soul Card World No. 1?" In the office, the staff member who was processing the admission procedures looked at the contents filled out on Shen Sui's information form with some surprise.
The thirty-three soul card worlds have their own numbers. As one of the earliest soul card worlds, the Dawn Continent has been ranked number one due to its unparalleled high difficulty.
"Yes." Shen Sui nodded and replied.
After defeating Xu Tianzhi and passing the duel exam, he came here to register for admission according to the procedures.
"The newcomers nowadays are really amazing." The staff member sighed, and then he kindly reminded, "Tianyi Academy divides the youth training classes according to the soul card world, and the coaches assigned to you will also be professional fortune tellers from the same soul card world. But in the Dawn Continent... to be honest, there are really not many fortune tellers from this soul card world, so you must be prepared to be transferred to another youth training group."
Shen Sui had already been mentally prepared for this.
"Okay. Registration is complete." After uploading Shen Sui's information, the staff member pulled out a card with a beautiful gold border from the card inserter. This was Shen Sui's student card. "Go back and pack your luggage and come over to officially enroll."
"Need not."
"Huh?" The staff's eyes suddenly became alert. If there are other duel academies willing to accept students who pass the duel exam, they can also be poached. This is also what they want to do, so they are very sharp.
Are other dueling academies so quick to act?
"I mean, you don't have to go home." Shen Sui pointed to the big suitcase at the door and said, "I have brought daily necessities and clothes here."
"..." The staff member said speechlessly, "Did you know that you would pass the duel exam? After knowing the examiner's rank."
"Actually, I don't know." Shen Sui glanced down at the dueling instrument. After the exam, he finally had time to take a look at Alice's state. "But I think I can win."
The staff member subconsciously felt that the boy was a little arrogant, but when he thought about how he had just defeated a fifth-level fate card master not long ago, he immediately retracted his thoughts and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to come and take you to the dormitory."
Shen Sui nodded, but his eyes did not move away from the duel instrument:
[Alice arrived at Lake Payinga as she wished.]
[The fulfilling experiences along the way made her very happy. 】
Fulfilling... Your experience is indeed fulfilling, I almost couldn't stand it.
Shen Sui complained in his heart.
"Are you looking at your soul card follower?" The staff member glanced at Shen Sui and said.
Shen Sui nodded, and the staff member smiled and said, "The difference in the speed of time between reality and the Soul Card world is really a headache. Many novices will be tortured by their Soul Card followers at the beginning."
"And there was no sign at all." Shen Sui complained.
This is the worst thing. Shen Sui is now afraid that Alice will die suddenly and lose his soul card. He is also thinking that if Alice behaves herself, he may not have so many life cards to swipe.
"I heard that the Life Card Association launched a new technology not long ago." Seeing that no one had come to register for admission in a short period of time, and the person who called had not come yet, the staff simply chatted with Shen Sui, "When you get a new life card in the Soul Card World, your duel instrument will make a prompt sound."
No, shouldn't this be a basic function?
Shen Sui has been wanting to complain for a long time. Shouldn't there be a reminder when you get a new item in a game? Why did you just write a "ding!" without any sound effect?
Alice is very likely to get a new life card when she encounters a major event or does something big. If there is a reminder, Shen Sui won't have to be so frightened all day long.
"Oh?" But better late than never, Shen Sui asked with interest, "Can I use it?"
"Sure, just go to the Fate Card Shop and flash a program for the duel instrument. It's a monthly subscription, 10,000 per month." The staff gestured.
"Goodbye!" Shen Sui lost interest immediately when he heard the price.
Ten thousand a month for a function that would be turned off by users if placed anywhere else, how dare you?
Shen Sui, who comes from a poor family, can't afford such high expenses now, so he might as well do manual surveillance first, even if it's a bit tiring.
……
In Beijing, Aragaki Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and closed the computer in front of her.
This talented girl, who is praised by outsiders, looks exquisite and beautiful even at home.
The black hair flows smoothly to the base of the thighs like a waterfall.
There was a hint of coldness on her delicate white face, but her slightly furrowed brows gave this beauty a hint of human air, and she seemed to be still savoring the duel she had just watched.
This is a recording of a live broadcast of a duel exam from Tianyi College in Modu.
The examiner of the exam was a fifth-tier fate card master named Xu Tianzhi, who had just defeated a seventh-tier fate card master not long ago and won the championship of the Tiantian Cup.The Zetian Cup is a small regional cup competition, but as a B-category competition, it is still somewhat well-known.
"How is it?" Sitting next to Aragaki Yingxue was a gorgeously dressed career lady, equally beautiful but with a hint of fragility. She looked a little bit like Aragaki Yingxue. She was Aragaki Yingxue's mother, Wang Chunxue.
"Very strong." Aragaki Yingxue said slowly, "Extremely strong."
"His deck only has twenty cards." Wang Chunxue said.
Aragaki Yingxue shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with the number of cards in his deck. The core of his deck is actually just three cards. The extra cards only serve these three cards. This is true for twenty cards and forty cards. As long as he has all three cards, then he will have the means to win."
"Is there any way to solve it with the life card?"
"Didn't you notice that he has a minion on the field that hasn't activated its effect? I guess he prepared it to counter the opponent's effect." Aragaki Yingxue said.
"Damn it, we had already planned everything and the publicity campaign was ready, but this person popped up." Wang Chunxue frowned and said in disgust, "It only takes you, Xiaoxue, for a levelless person to defeat a level five newcomer!"
Thinking of this, Wang Chunxue suddenly thought of something and asked, "What do you think? We should find someone to investigate and have his cards banned?"
Aragaki Yingxue's brows wrinkled slightly, and a hint of disgust appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly retracted it.
The banning system is a system to maintain the balance of the game, and the original intention is good, but it should be used with restraint. In foreign countries, due to the high price of life cards, the compensation for banning cards is also very high. The life card associations are short of funds and the capital groups that sell life cards are very cautious in reviewing banned cards, and only a few banned cards are issued every month.
However, in China, this card banning system has shown a tendency to be abused. It is true that the low price of domestic horoscope cards allows all horoscope masters to buy high-star card components and powerful decks, but the low price also leads to a significant reduction in the cost of banning cards.
The price of destiny cards in China has been capped, and the destiny card association, which has lost such a major source of income, has used its power to ban and review cards to engage in power-for-money transactions, and this has continued despite repeated crackdowns by the state.
The global monthly banned card list has an upper limit of fifty cards at most. As a result, China always occupies more than half of the banned cards. Even the month when Higashino Yuya was banned was no exception. Half of his deck was banned, but it was still not as many as China's banned cards.
The abuse of the card ban system has led to the deterioration of the domestic competition environment. The noble families use card bans to attack rising opponents and thus sit firmly on the championship podium. As the audience said before, those who would rather watch foreign competitions can see the approximate champion range of domestic A- and B-class competitions by looking at the list. Only C-class competitions are more interesting because the fate card association still has some shame and will not ban the cards of low-level professional fate card masters.
In this environment, whether it is the audience or ordinary fortune tellers, everyone is looking forward to a hero who can break through this fetid environment.
However, no matter how powerful a hero is, he probably can't withstand a few card ban reviews.
She withdrew her gaze from her mother and looked at the duel instrument on her desk.
A soft and warm embrace hugged her from behind: "Mom knows you hate this method, but Mom is also doing this for your own good, Xiaoxue. Don't you want to become a ninth-level destiny card master and become a world champion? Mom is clearing the obstacles along the way for you."
Aragaki Yingxue remained silent.
"You are my only daughter, Xiaoxue, please don't abandon me."
When Wang Chunxue's cold voice came, Xinyuan Yingxue closed her eyes. The figure of her sister who abandoned them and ran away from home seemed to appear in front of her.
"Sister, sister, why are you leaving?"
"She's insulting me! I'm a duelist! Not a fucking idol! Duel is pure, not a tool for her to make money! You'll understand one day, Xiaoxue, if you really want to become a ninth-level destiny card master."
Chapter 17 Alice! What are you doing?!
As expected, Shen Sui moved in directly after the duel exam.
The dormitories at Shanghai Tianyi College were more luxurious than Shen Sui had imagined, and the facilities were even better than those in some single apartments.
As the first student to pass the duel exam that day and also the first student welcomed by Tianyi College, Shen Sui naturally had the freedom to choose his dormitory.
It is said to be the right of free choice, but in fact it means choosing between a single room or a double room.
Shen Sui naturally chose a single room. He had no habit of competing with others in swordsmanship.
An assistant coach from the academy was in charge of receiving him.
Many duel academies in China are actually more like youth training clubs. Apart from the necessary cultural courses, most of the time it is the students themselves who operate in the soul card world and obtain more new cards.
Tianyi College is a very standard youth training club. Apart from the academic subjects, all other teachers in the college are professional players from the Tianyi Club.
"Excuse me, how do I get to the life card shop in the academy?" Shen Sui asked.
"Life Card Shop? Are you planning to buy life cards?" The teaching assistant named Wang Ming was very friendly. He was the one who killed a fifth-level life card master in a live broadcast and was destined to be a rising star in the future. "Indeed, it is very difficult to collect the required 40-card deck required for the points competition with just your own soul card world."
"No, I'm going to sell cards." Shen Sui said.
"Ah?" Wang Ming looked at Shen Sui in surprise.
Freshmen selling cards is very rare, even in other mature duel schools, right? When I first became a fortune teller, I had a small number of cards. I finally collected 20 cards to pass the duel exam, but I planned to sell the cards as soon as the exam was over?
"I'm short of money." Shen Sui looked at Wang Ming's puzzled eyes and gave an explanation.
Wang Ming understood immediately.
"Your family has limited your living expenses, right? I understand, I understand."
"No, I'm just poor." Shen Sui was very curious about how Wang Ming came to the conclusion that he had a family. ——No, most people should have a family!
"Then your 15-star fate card..."
"Oh, I was lucky. I found it on the roadside." Shen Sui made up a lie.
Wang Ming's eyes suddenly turned, and he said, "If you want to sell cards, you don't have to sell them on the online channel of the Life Card Store. We can use the offline channel of the Life Card Store."
“Offline channels?”
"Yes, it is specially prepared for those fortune tellers who exchange cards or have regular transactions. It is a channel for purchasing or exchanging specific cards. There is no need to worry about the fortune cards you like being snatched away by others." Wang Ming introduced.
"What cards do you want to sell? Can I take a look?" Wang Ming said so much and finally stated his main purpose, "I actually want to buy some fate cards recently to become a second-level fate card master."
Wang Ming plans to upgrade to a higher rank by the end of the year, and is currently trying every possible way to strengthen his deck.
