"What?" Feng Lindu took a small step back.
"I watched your duel today." The man walked towards Feng Lindu. "You have tortured your soul card so much. Is this really okay? For your own benefit, you torture a person who should have a good life."
"What are you talking about?" Feng Lindu forced a smile, then revealed an angry and hateful expression, "Also, who are you? Do I know you well?"
"Ah, I'm just a duel enthusiast passing by." The man spread his hands and said, "I can't stand people like you who deliberately use the time adjuster to bring suffering to the soul cards in order to obtain more life cards and soul card forms."
"Humph! Let's not talk about the fact that I have never done such a thing." Feng Lindu laughed in anger. He loosened his collar and said, "Even if I did such a thing, so what? Is it illegal? The soul card follower is said to be real, but can it affect reality? What I did to him is just the same as what a game player does to the controlled character."
"You guys, don't really think of the Soul Card followers as your friends? They're just cards!"
After saying that, Feng Lindu turned around and left in a hurry as if he was escaping.
The man stood there, watching Feng Lindu leave silently.
Jingle Bell.
The melodious ringtone of a cell phone echoed in the claustrophobic alley.
The man answered the phone.
"I'm Wang Ming." The slightly plump man said briefly.
"Wang Ming, how's the investigation going?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wang Ming withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out of the alley. As he walked, he spoke his analysis into the phone: "Using the suffering of others to create my own bliss is the method used by believers of the Bodhisattva of Suffering."
The Bodhisattva of Suffering, one of the rulers of the world of Soul Card No. 8, was also one of the culprits who caused several major incidents in the real world back then.
"I guessed it. For those divination masters who ignore the lives of their soul cards, the selfish words of the Suffering Bodhisattva are too attractive. As long as they continue to instill the concept that the soul card world is just a game, those divination masters who are frustrated in the competition can torture their soul card followers at will without any psychological burden."
"So, General Administration, do we really have no way to deal with them?" Wang Ming asked somewhat unwillingly.
"Did they break the law?" Zhang Fang asked calmly. "Soul Card followers are individuals from another world after all, and are not protected by the laws of our real world. Otherwise, how could the followers of the Suffering Bodhisattva seize the opportunity to spread the idea of suffering in reality?"
"But I always think that this behavior is not right."
"So you want to convict them? Just because they tortured people who could only possibly exist? And all you have to prove is a bunch of text."
Wang Ming was silent.
"In recent years, there have been more and more fortune tellers in China who have similar behaviors, and they are becoming more and more rampant." Zhang Fang said faintly, "Why do you think that is?"
"Ordinary fortune tellers cannot find hope of making a breakthrough in domestic competitions. If they want to compete in high-level duels, they must have a large number of fortune cards to circumvent the Fortune Card Association's increasingly abusive ban card review..."
"That's right, isn't it, Wang Ming?" Zhang Fang's laughter came through the phone. "We may not be able to do anything to those fortune tellers, but we can eliminate the soil that gave birth to them. As long as the environment is good, those fortune tellers who have choices will not do things that go beyond the bottom line of human nature just by reading the text."
"However, not everyone is moral. This kind of thing can indeed bring a lot of fate cards..."
"No, Wang Ming, you have to understand that the reason why those people tortured their soul cards so recklessly is because they know that in such a competition environment, even if these things are exposed, the audience can understand their behavior."
"But if the environment gets better, do you think the audience will tolerate their behavior?"
Zhang Fang’s question caused Wang Ming to fall into a brief silence.
"Okay, you should hurry back to the academy. I'm more worried about the idea of the Bodhisattva of Suffering spreading to the student community. That's where you should focus your attention. I also have to deal with the matter of World No. 1."
"Something happened in World No. 1 again?"
"Yes, the soul cards of seventeen employees died inexplicably. The compensation is enough to give me a headache." Zhang Fang paused, and then said with a bit of gloating, "But we are lucky. Almost all the soul cards of World No. 1 in the United States died in Sin City. They lost contact with World No. 1 all of a sudden and are frantically searching for World No. 1's fortune teller all over the world."
“It’s not easy to find a fortune teller in World No. 1.” Shen Sui’s appearance flashed through Wang Ming’s mind.
"It's okay. As for the United States, we can just ask Xiaozizi and Yuzhou for help."
While Zhang Fang was worrying about the compensation, Shen Sui was also worrying about it.
He looked at the words on the duel instrument and fell into deep self-doubt.
Oh my god, Alice, are you a magic idiot?
Chapter 75 Alice is a serious student
Since he had won the duel, there was naturally no need for the duel coach to give Shen Sui any comments. He automatically qualified for the qualifying tournament.
However, the schedule for the qualifying tournament is very tight. After all, the opponents in the qualifying tournament are all professional fortune tellers, who basically fly from all over the country to participate in the competition. Although there is the Exploration Bureau to coordinate, judging from everyone's discussions on the Internet, it is better to end the qualifying tournament as soon as possible, because recently the Fortune Card Association has been showing signs of competing for power with the Exploration Bureau. Who knows if this will affect the arrangements for the qualifying tournament.
Shen Sui holds a similar view.
Only by finishing the qualifying tournament quickly can he devote more energy to the Dawn Continent.
The God of War Vargas is not comparable to the God of Sin and Sokfatis. After all, he is one of the big bosses in the mid-game, so Shen Sui still needs to pay attention to him.
However, finishing the qualifying tournament as soon as possible does not mean that Shen Sui will have to work non-stop for the next few days. The Exploration Bureau has just taken away the relevant powers of the professional certification system from the Fortune Card Association, and it will take some time to coordinate a suitable first-level fortune card master to come and duel with Shen Sui.
Shen Sui needs to wait for the notification of the qualifying tournament.
It just so happened that Alice was on her way to the Temple of the God of War, and both sides had some free time. Shen Sui was thinking of using this opportunity to give Alice some good training to improve her own strength.
This guy has already experienced two gods when he was at the third level. God only knows how much he will have to experience in the future.
It is better to quickly make her stronger and able to protect herself.
By the way, while Alice is practicing, I can think about the World No. 1 Investigation Report.
[According to your suggestion, Alice decided to cultivate her own magic power. ]
[You taught Alice the method of practicing fire magic.]
[Ding! You get a permanent spell card: Fire cultivation method]
well.
Shen Sui opened the time regulator as quickly as possible and adjusted the flow rate of the two times to 1:16.
With such a bonus of time flow rate, the cultivation method will show results very quickly.
After all, Alice's level is only level three. In the game, to upgrade from level three to level four, you only need to kill a few monsters to gain experience, or practice in seclusion for three days. Of course, players in the game have various magic potions, so it is relatively easy to practice.
Shen Sui has already reached the maximum level, so it is impossible for him to carry things like experience potions that take up space in his backpack.
Otherwise, Shen Sui felt that Alice's promotion would be faster.
Then, Shen Sui realized that he was a little naive.
[Alice practiced for ten hours but gained nothing.]
Ah this...
Shen Sui, who was studying the descriptive language of the report, was shocked when he saw this prompt.
No, even if one's talent is poor, one should be able to cultivate a little bit of magic power in these ten hours, right? What kind of evaluation is this "no gain"? Not cultivating any magic power at all?
Alice, are you practicing seriously?
[You used the skill Focus on Alice.]
An hour later, Shen Sui looked at the duel instrument again.
[Alice practiced for sixteen hours with no results.]
Huh? That doesn't make sense. Concentration is a magical skill in the game, which can speed up cultivation by three times. After sixteen hours of concentrated cultivation, I didn't gain any magic power. Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
This is a magical world, not a fairy world. Do I have to stay in seclusion for a few years to reap any rewards?
Shen Sui continued to cast the spell [Concentration] on Alice in defiance of the evil.
So, after half a day's work, which was a week's work for Alice, Alice still made no progress despite the help of [Concentration].
[Ding! You get the spell card: Concentration]
Looking at the spell card [Concentration] that was forcibly refreshed, Shen Sui felt a little numb.
He began to doubt himself.
Either my method of practicing magic is wrong, but according to the game setting, magic practice is like this. Get the practice method, then practice magic power desperately, and then break through the realm and advance to the next level.
The only difference between the game and reality is that players can gain experience and level up by killing monsters.
If it wasn't Shen Sui's problem, then it couldn't be Alice's problem, right? Could it be that Alice was a magic idiot? But how could a magic idiot cultivate to the third level?
[The improvement in concentration has reached its limit. Alice gradually feels lost. She can no longer concentrate on her practice.]
It's normal to feel frustrated.
Shen Sui sighed and was about to input some chicken soup to comfort Alice's young heart.
【Alice decided to skip class. 】
[She made a very detailed plan to escape your supervision and ride her pony to play freely in the forest surrounding the camp.]
Shen Sui looked at these two messages and was immediately filled with question marks.
No, let’s not discuss whether your detailed plan is reasonable or not.
Is there a possibility that, according to the setting, I am fucking attached to you, so tell me, how are you going to skip class under my nose?
Shen Sui suddenly felt that his child was a fool.
He covered his face, like a parent helping his child with homework at night, and relaxed for a long time.
[Alice packed her things and quietly stepped over the sleeping Zero-One.]
【Anna wakes up and looks at Alice in confusion.】
[Alice gestures skillfully.]
[The two girls quietly left the camp and rode on their ponies towards the forest not far away. Alice noticed the tall tree deep in the forest when she came. She had been craving for the fruit on it for a long time.]
Shen Sui tapped the screen and typed a string of characters into the input box, then felt that the words were not offensive enough and deleted the text.
Just like that, input, delete, input, delete, Shen Sui finally gave up the idea of educating Alice with words.
The fact that Alice was able to concentrate on her training for so many days is enough to show her determination to become stronger.
However, Alice had made no progress in eight days of practice, which was a huge blow to her. At this time, some chicken soup for the soul really could not make up for Alice's frustration, so it would be better to let her go out and relax.
Forget it, let me think about whether there are any mines or fishing spots nearby. If so, there will most likely be a storage box left by me. I will then let Alice open the box and see if there are any experience potions.
Since we can’t win by talent, let’s compete with our fathers.
If there is no way to improve your cultivation, then just drink potions as much as you can. There are so many ways to advance in this world, and there is always one that suits Alice.
[Alice came to the tree, but she found that the tree was full of animal corpses, and near the roots, several people who looked like adventurers had been swallowed by the tree.]
