Soul Card Follower Alice

The guide looked at Shen Sui with some shock.

Dawn Continent!

No one had chosen this Soul Card world for many years.

Someone once commented on this Soul Card world: The followers on the Dawn Continent are either dead immediately or on the way to death.

In the Life Card Professional Duel Arena, there were almost no Soul Cards from the Dawn Continent.

Countless Life Card Master candidates who wanted to draw powerful and invincible Soul Card followers and chose the Dawn Continent lost their qualification to become Life Card Masters forever because their followers died.

"Student, I need to remind you that so far, among the Life Card Masters who chose the Dawn Continent, the follower who lived the longest was a sixth-tier Life Card Master. His Soul Card follower died in the battle between the Lady of Daybreak and the Lord of the Blazing Sun for the authority of the sun. He was directly burned to ashes by the divine radiance, and lived for a total of two and a half years."

Becoming a sixth-tier Life Card Master in two and a half years was actually one of the best talents, but being forced to retire because of the death of a Soul Card follower was indeed a loss.

"If you want to survive in the Life Card Duel industry for a long time, it's best not to choose the Dawn Continent. Would you like to reconsider?"

"No, no need to consider." Shen Sui said firmly.

The beautiful guide sister hesitated, and finally sighed. She rummaged under the table for a long time and finally took out a dusty metal box.

Shen Sui was very familiar with this box. It had appeared on Lin Ke'er's lesson plan PPT. This was the box for drawing Soul Cards.

Mysterious magic circles were drawn on the box, and the four large characters "Dawn Continent" were written in the center.

"Please sign and press your fingerprint on it." The guide wrote "Dawn Continent" on Shen Sui's card drawing application form. "Are you really not going to reconsider?"

Shen Sui quickly signed and pressed his fingerprint: "Okay."

The guide sighed, stamped the steel seal on the photo on the application form, and stamped the official seal on Shen Sui's signature: "Okay, you can draw the card now. You'd better be mentally prepared, even on the Dawn Continent, the Soul Card follower you draw is likely to be an ordinary commoner..."

Before the guide finished speaking, Shen Sui's hand was already on the metal box. It was clear that he had silently rehearsed countless times in his mind and didn't need the guide to teach him how to use the card drawing device.

"Beep! Drawing Soul Card..."

"Beep! Congratulations, you have obtained the Follower Card [Country Girl Alice]."

Then, a card popped out of the card drawing device, and Shen Sui took it in his hand. The card had a metallic luster and was slightly cold.

The back of the card was a picture of stars, and in the center of the stars was a black hole, as if it was a destiny that could not be escaped.

The front of the card was a portrait of a beautiful girl standing in a flower field.

This was a very beautiful girl, and her peasant dress could not hide her peerless beauty.

Her appearance was almost comparable to Vivian's.

However, Vivian was still better.

Shen Sui liked big chests.

Seeing the Soul Card in Shen Sui's hand, the guide showed a look of pity. Such a follower card was as trash as it could get. It seemed that this young man had no fate with Life Card Masters. Even if his follower miraculously survived, it would be difficult for her to rise in the strictly hierarchical Dawn Continent.

"This is your duel device. You can insert your Soul Card into it to watch the movements of your Soul Card follower in the Soul Card world. Well, if necessary, you can also guide your follower to make choices, if you have a reasonable identity setting and your follower is willing to listen to you." Even though she had already judged Shen Sui's fate in her heart, the guide still conscientiously explained the precautions to Shen Sui.

"The progress and choices of your follower may allow you to obtain Life Cards. Life Cards are divided into Follower Cards and Spell Cards. You have already learned these in your theory class, so I won't go into detail."

The guide looked at Shen Sui, and Shen Sui nodded, indicating that he didn't need the guide's explanation.

Follower Cards in Life Card Duels are similar to monster cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, while Spell Cards are a collection of other types of cards besides monster cards. In Life Card Duels, there are five Follower Card slots and five Spell Card slots. It can only be said that it was replicated, but not completely replicated.

Because unlike Yu-Gi-Oh, Life Card Duels require paying a cost called Soul Points to use cards. The number of Soul Points that can be used in a turn is related to the rules. The tournament rule is 16 points, and there is also an unlimited brawl rule with no upper limit on Soul Points.

Unless there are special effects, the Soul Point cost required to use a card is equal to the card's star rating.

The guide nodded and continued: "The duel exam will be held in seven days, which is June 6th. You need to guide and help your Soul Card follower during these seven days to obtain at least twenty Life Cards to be eligible to participate in the duel exam, otherwise you will be directly judged as losing. Next are the matters related to the exam."

The guide roughly explained the exam matters to Shen Sui. As for how to guide the Soul Card follower to obtain enough Life Cards in the next seven days, that was something the school teachers should have taught.

The duel exam is different from the college entrance examination. Candidates must choose a suitable duel academy to register after the theory exam results are released, and then go to the academy for the duel exam. If the exam fails, they can only participate in the ordinary college entrance examination the next day, and will be forever separated from Life Card Masters.

Therefore, the pressure of the duel exam is much greater than that of the college entrance examination. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The control over choices, the test of ability, the random drawing of Soul Card followers... many people are crushed by such heavy pressure.

Shen Sui's theory exam results were not ideal, almost failing. The top duel academies in China were out of the question. After Shen Sui "died and came back to life," Lin Ke'er researched for several days and finally helped Shen Sui decide on a newly established duel academy - Magic City Tianyi Academy.

This is a youth training academy newly established by the professional club Tianyi Club. There are no restrictions on the theory exam. Even if the theory score is not passing, you can register. As long as you pass the duel exam, you can enroll, and all academy fees are waived. There is only one requirement: Tianyi Club has priority signing rights for graduating students.

Such conditions perfectly fit Shen Sui's position as a penniless student with poor theory exam results.

For this, Shen Sui was still very grateful to Lin Ke'er. She was truly considering Shen Sui.

Shen Sui listened to the guide's series of announcements, inserted the follower card in his hand into the duel device on his hand, and in an instant, information about Alice appeared before Shen Sui's eyes.

[Alice Hozeville, an ordinary girl in a village in Andrew City, Rowling Empire.]

[At 16, she was full of fantasies about the future. She wanted to become a powerful mage, walking the Dawn Continent, punishing evil and promoting good, using her abilities to change the world.]

[Unfortunately, because her parents were burned to death by the Church of the Lord of Thunder as heretics, Alice was filled with disgust for the gods. She was unwilling to believe in any god, and therefore could not obtain any divine inheritance. Her life was basically cut off from extraordinary power, unless a miracle happened.]

[She is very troubled now. She needs to harvest another acre of wheat, otherwise her aunt won't give her food tonight.]

Immediately after, the Duel Instrument displayed Alice's attributes.

A completely ordinary, even somewhat weak girl.

It seems my luck is really bad, Shen Sui thought to himself. He fiddled with the Duel Instrument, planning to create a character for himself first to guide Alice's future actions.

However, when he entered the character creation interface, a prompt popped up:

[Detected an existing character on the Dawn Continent. Activate?]

Hmm? Shen Sui's heart stirred, and he immediately clicked Activate. The Duel Instrument began to operate on its own again, displaying Claude's attribute interface.

[Your name is Laurend Modena, the legendary Twilight Bishop. You mysteriously disappeared in the Silver Moon Calendar year 922 and have now returned. The world consciousness of the Dawn Continent has sensed your presence and humbly comes to inquire about the reason for your visit again.]

The world consciousness, if I remember correctly, is that unreliable loli who goes offline from time to time, right? She's so naive she doesn't even know her authority has been stolen by the gods. She's the cute mascot in the game, the top war criminal who caused the Dawn Continent to be so chaotic, and her only use in the game is to give players quest rewards.

[You expressed interest in Alice Hozeville. The world consciousness indicated understanding.]

[Ding! Alice found a mage ring in the wheat field and obtained the inheritance of an unknown mage. Alice has become a first-tier mage. Your Soul Card has transformed into: Magic Apprentice Alice]

[Ding! You have obtained Equipment Spell Card: Magic Ring]

In the Dawn Continent, strength ranges from the mortal 1st Tier to the divine 15th Tier, corresponding to the star rating on the Life Card. However, in the game, each tier is actually divided into levels. Basically, every 10 levels correspond to 1 tier. Alice becoming a Magic Apprentice actually means she has reached level 9, but because she is still in the 1st Tier, the card's star rating hasn't changed.

Still too weak! The next moment, new text appeared on the Duel Instrument:

[You expressed dissatisfaction with Alice's card effect, and the world consciousness immediately indicated that with your strength, you could freely modify the card effects of this world.]

The next moment, an interface popped up, showing the card for [Magic Apprentice Alice].

[Please note: Card effects need to conform to the star level strength. Effects that are too powerful will cause the modification to fail.]

Huh? Does this mean I can print cards according to my own will? Shen Sui's eyes gleamed. Countless card effects from his previous life appeared in Shen Sui's mind.

Grass, Skill Drain, Vanity...

Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Maxx "C", Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, the Primal Being...

Should I occasionally give my opponent one or two eight-star big monsters in the future?

Ah, should I try printing Victory Dragon?

If I had known, I would have memorized the forbidden list before transmigrating.

Shen Sui's thoughts churned, but he quickly calmed down. There were also forbidden cards in the Life Card Duel system. Except for Soul Cards, which would not be forbidden, if your opponent reported other cards, and the number of reporters exceeded ten, the Life Card Association would indeed review your card and decide whether to make it a forbidden card (a forbidden card here means it is prohibited from being used in professional matches recognized by the Life Card Association).

Since he could write the effects himself, he had to think carefully about the upcoming duel exam.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Sui wrote the effect on the card.

******

Card Name: [Magic Apprentice Alice]

Category: Follower Card

Star Level: 1 Star

Effect: If your opponent successfully summons or special summons a follower, you can target one follower on each player's field and activate this effect to destroy the targeted followers. If the follower you destroyed is [Magic Apprentice Alice], after it enters the graveyard, you can choose one spell card from your deck and activate it.

Spirit Value: 100
