[However, I am willing to trade with you.]

[Alice understands in her heart that you saved her life, so she is willing to accept your suggestion, even if it means losing everything. For the sake of gratitude and revenge, the young girl is willing to give up everything.]

[Will you occupy my body? The young girl asked curiously.]

[No, I am a man, I will not enter a woman's body in this way.]

[But my chest is very small, and everyone in the village says that if I cut my hair short, I would look exactly like a beautiful little boy.]

[Uh... men and women are not distinguished by that.]

[You had a friendly discussion, but it seems you forgot about the existence of the villains.]

[Lin Fu, the leader of this group of villains, followed the rule that any enemy must be seen as a corpse, and came down the hillside to look for Alice's body. He found Alice, he coveted Alice's beauty, and he launched an attack on Alice.]

[You taught Alice the Tier 1 Fireball Spell.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Fireball Spell]

[Alice's Fireball Spell was too clumsy, and Lin Fu easily dodged it.]

[Alice was very calm, she pretended to be flustered and stumbled back into a pile of pebbles. Lin Fu was overjoyed and pounced on her, wanting to humiliate her.]

[Alice cast the Fireball Spell at close range, hitting Lin Fu in the crotch. Lin Fu fell to the ground in pain.]

[Alice emptied her magic power and magic ring, and launched three Fireball Spells at Lin Fu, hitting vital points. Lin Fu died.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Feigned Weakness]

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Desperate Resolve]

Alice is awesome!

You are my god!

In just one battle, Alice got Shen Sui two spell cards, which is definitely a high-efficiency existence.

Shen Sui immediately opened the two cards to check their effects.

[Desperate Resolve] is a card similar to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s [The Fellow Traveler], which takes away one of the opponent's monsters when your own monster is destroyed. Although it is an effect that targets, it is still a very good existence in the current environment of Life Card Duels.

Shen Sui was slightly dissatisfied with the card [Feigned Weakness]. I reduced the Spirit Value of one of my monsters on the field to 0, only to prevent the opponent from attacking?

Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

[You expressed dissatisfaction with the effect of the card, and you have obtained the right to modify the card.]

Shen Sui immediately began to modify the effect of [Feigned Weakness].

Target one monster on your field, reduce its Spirit Value to 0 until the end of this turn, your opponent cannot activate the effects of Spell Cards and Monster Cards...

Shen Sui's effect was not finished yet when the modification failed prompt popped up.

It seems that a 5-star card face cannot carry this effect.

Helplessly, Shen Sui could only start adding more restrictions to the effect of this card. He originally wanted this card to be able to be activated during the opponent's turn as well, so that he could directly stop the opponent's expansion, wouldn't that be great?

Shen Sui likes this kind of card effect that brings a smile to the opponent's face the most.

However, this was more difficult than Shen Sui imagined. If the card [Feigned Weakness] was a 15-star card, then Shen Sui could change it however he wanted, but unfortunately, it was only 5 stars.

After a long period of effort and exploration, Shen Sui finally printed a relatively satisfactory card.

******

Card Name: [Feigned Weakness]

Category: Spell Card

Star Rating: 5 Stars

Effect: Can only be activated during the Start Phase of either player's turn, pay half of your Life Points, and discard one card from your hand, then target one monster on your field, reduce its Spirit Value to 0 until the end of the duel, after that, until the end of this turn, your opponent cannot activate card effects of the same type as the discarded card.

******

In order to add restrictions, Shen Sui directly wrote the effect of a 5-star card into a small essay. It's a pity that it's not as strong as Shen Sui's first version, mainly because of the restriction on the activation timing. In the failed modification version, Shen Sui could activate [Feigned Weakness] during the Main Phase, so he could completely summon a monster in the first turn and then activate Feigned Weakness, discarding a monster card to prevent the opponent from using hand traps to restrict his expansion.

This kind of playstyle cannot be achieved in the second version, but it doesn't hide the flaws, at least this card can definitely bring a smile to the opponent's face.

Shen Sui became more and more confident about his duel exam.

Okay! Let me see what my dear Alice has done for me again?

Shen Sui couldn't wait to return to the homepage, but found that there was a long string of text on it. It seemed that Alice had done a lot of things during the time Shen Sui was printing cards.

[Alice's magic power is exhausted, but she is unwilling to rest and recover, because the surviving villagers are still in the hands of the villains. She calls out to you, trying to obtain some usable spells.]

[You did not reply.]

[Alice was not discouraged, she climbed up the hillside west of the village and used her newly recovered magic power to cast the Fireball Spell.]

[Alice set fire to the woods on the hillside.]

[She used all her strength to drag Lin Fu's body up the hillside, and then tied it to a rolling stone.]

[Accompanied by the roaring fire, Alice pushed the rolling stone down the hillside, and Lin Fu's body rushed towards the reveling villains along with the rolling stone.]

What the hell is she doing? Is this something a sixteen-year-old girl can do?!

[The villains saw Lin Fu's brutally abused corpse and the distant fire. Believing the imperial army had arrived to annihilate them, they decided to leave with some young and able-bodied girls first.]

[The villains planned to kill all the remaining women.]

[Alice overused her magic, unleashing her final Fireball Spell towards the villains.]

[The villains wouldn't have been so afraid otherwise. However, the rising heat from the burning forest formed a cumulonimbus cloud above the village. Under natural influence, a thunderclap struck, following the trajectory of the magic and hitting Alice's fireball. The power of the lightning instantly killed several villains. The villains believed the knights of the Church of the Lord of Thunder had arrived and scattered.]

[Ding! You have obtained the spell card: Lightning Strike]

???

Shen Sui suddenly had a feeling that he didn't need to guide this girl; she would accomplish great things on her own.

However, this section was not yet over.

[The villains left, but Alice was not happy. She endured the severe pain of the magic backlash but did not find Anna among the survivors. Her best friend, Anna, had been taken by the villains.]

[The knights of the Lord of Thunder arrived late. They didn't mind taking credit for driving away the villains and demanded exorbitant redemption fees from the villagers.]

[The knights seized the villagers' land and the fields of newly ripened wheat. Having lost all their men and all their land, the village no longer had any reason to exist. The surviving women decided to enter Andrew City to seek refuge with their respective relatives.]

[Alice's aunt did not take Alice with her. Alice lost all her family and friends.]

What a miserable girl.

Seeing this, Shen Sui felt a sense of empathy. To have family yet lose them all was also why he could accept his transmigration so easily.

Compared to having a pair of gambling, abusive parents, being an orphan was much more comforting.
