Chapter 1237 - 686: Buffer Zone Instance Test_2

Chapter 1237: Chapter 686: Buffer Zone Instance Test_2

After all, those beautiful puppets can’t be conquered and collected, which is simply a waste!

But it must be admitted that the game’s quality is quite good.

It’s just not fun.

I didn’t play for long initially and probably won’t leave many traces in that world.

Considering Alice is always thinking about digging up my dark history there, Shen Sui carefully recalled the instance when facing this dungeon.

After confirming I shouldn’t have any dark history, Shen Sui accepted this dungeon.

Occasionally taking Alice to relax is also quite nice.

This time, the invading Evil God is named Alro.

He’s one of the Demon Pillar Gods of World No. 13.

Shen Sui thought as he looked at the dueling ground of An Hai and Alice.

This moment of distraction, and the duel had already entered a white-hot state.

An Hai’s strength is actually greater than Alice’s.

After all, his deck is time-tested.

But Alice’s luck is just too good.

Every time An Hai believes he’s guaranteed a win, Alice shows him what "drawing" really means.

Clearly can win, but can’t kill no matter what.

This feeling really frustrates An Hai.

It was supposed to be a stress-relieving duel, but why does it feel like his blood pressure is rising instead?

Fortunately, this duel can always end.

After An Hai destroyed all the followers on Alice’s field, he felt victory was within grasp.

So he decisively entered the battle phase.

Then Alice drew a card from her hand.

The effect of this card is simple: send it to the graveyard during a direct attack scenario, flip the top card of the deck for confirmation, and if it’s a Spell Card with applicable effect, immediately activate it.

What’s going to happen?

An Hai couldn’t understand.

Then, in the next second, his field exploded.

An Hai’s blood pressure spiked instantly.

"Hehe, so now we start again?"

Alice said cheekily, sticking out her tongue and acting cute.

An Hai’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine."

Seeing An Hai’s expression, Shen Sui couldn’t help but chuckle.

This is the cost of challenging Alice.

No matter the power gap, Alice can make you earn a victory that’s anything but easy.

Shen Sui had also dueled Alice many times before, and apart from the rare times he had perfect hands, there were no low-blood-pressure matches.

However, An Hai is still a ninth-tier Life Card Master.

Though Alice struggled, An Hai eventually won this duel.

The moment he won, An Hai felt completely exhausted.

What kind of lucky monster is this?

Always able to draw fate-changing cards at my most critical moments.

"Was it like this when you dueled her?" Before leaving, An Hai couldn’t help but ask Shen Sui.

Shen Sui replied with a smile, "Occasionally."

An Hai shook his head and sighed, giving Shen Sui a deep look, saying, "When her deck is refined, she’ll likely become a terrifying Life Card Master just like you."

"I’m not as lucky as her."

Of course, Alice’s deck depth isn’t as good as mine.

After An Hai left, Shen Sui didn’t stay long at the Exploration Bureau and also said goodbye.

"Don’t forget tomorrow’s matter," Wang Ming said softly.

Shen Sui smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered."

Returning to the island, Vivian and Qishala were discussing something in the living room.

Seeing Shen Sui return, the girls were quite happy.

"What are you discussing?"

Vivian laughed and said, "Traveling as a family isn’t easy, especially going so far. We’re discussing some details."

Shen Sui nonchalantly said, "Just move the entire island, isn’t that enough?"

Vivian’s mouth twitched slightly, "You say it so lightly."

"Actually, it’s pretty light," Shen Sui replied, stroking his chin.

"Cost! Cost! Taking the island along comes with a cost," Vivian calculated the economic account intensely.

Then she paused for a few seconds.

"Wait... it doesn’t seem that expensive."

Shen Sui chuckled, "Right?"

Seeing Shen Sui’s smug look, Vivian couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Shen Sui slept well that night.

The next morning, he set out with Alice.

He glanced at the Dueling Device, seeing the ship still navigating, and felt reassured.

Alice had slept in today.

Apparently, something happened in the Soul Card World last night.

"So..." Shen Sui looked at Alice’s tired face, curiously asked, "What happened in your Soul Card World?"

Alice lay on the table, weakly saying, "I contracted too many Magical Girls... I only knew the more Magical Girls I contracted, the more Follower Cards I could get..."

"Huh?"

"But I didn’t consider their feelings..."

"So what happened in the end?"

"They fought over me."

"Oh~! A chaotic scene?" Shen Sui’s eyes lit up.

He loved stories of chaotic scenes.

"What’s a chaotic scene?" Alice looked at Shen Sui with confusion.

Shen Sui, pinched by Vivian, didn’t answer the question but changed the topic: "So, has it been resolved?"

"Resolved... I can’t really say resolved." Alice ate the breakfast Qishala brought over, "I split myself into ninety-seven parts, giving each one a part, and they stopped fighting."

"That’s a simple and crude method," Shen Sui commented.

He ate a few bites of breakfast and chewed for a while.

Suddenly, his mouth stopped moving.

"Wait! You said you split yourself into how many parts?"

"Ninety-seven."

"Not that! You contracted so many Magical Girls already?!"

Alice scratched her head in embarrassment, "Not all Magical Girls!"

Shen Sui finally relaxed.

"The Magical Girl business is too monotonous, so I contracted some shrine maidens, witches, and silent women too."

"??? I won’t comment on the first ones, but what’s a silent woman?"

"I don’t know; she claimed she’s an alien." Alice shrugged.

Well... somehow Alice seems to be living pretty comfortably in the Soul Card World.

Shen Sui silently mocked in his mind.

After breakfast, Shen Sui took the still slightly gloomy Alice out.

Arriving at the Exploration Bureau, it had just started work.

The entire building was bustling with a few degrees of busyness.

Fortunately, Wang Ming didn’t keep Shen Sui waiting long.

"We’ve lifted the seal," Wang Ming said to Shen Sui on the way, "The dungeon world is forming."

"But I still advise you not to overly trust the world’s instance and characters," Wang Ming continued as he led Shen Sui into a quiet room.

Shen Sui would complete the dungeon strategy here.

Wang Ming continued, "Alro’s strength is powerful; I sense it has an ability related to instance generation. It might sneak some strange things into the world during this process."

Strange rules?

Shen Sui nodded.

Alice was excited.

In some sense, this was her first time entering the buffer zone in person.

"When do we start?"

This was the third time Alice had asked since arriving here.

Wang Ming smiled, "Don’t worry, it’ll start soon."

The next second, Shen Sui felt a summons from the Dueling Device.

Accompanied by the light of transmission, when Shen Sui opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark room.

In the center of the room, a large mysterious array was drawn.

A few candles illuminated, outlining the array with some null curve.

If without accident, the next step should be to confer the Life Card Master identity.

Sure enough, a cold voice whispered in Shen Sui’s ear.

[Your name is Gray Rustan].

[You are a follower of the Moon Secret Teachings].

[Today you intend to perform a ritual and summon the legendary Demon Pillar God Alro].

[But it seems you’ve forgotten something...]
