Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Second Soul Card
After seeing through Lingyi’s disguise, the remaining matters became much simpler.
Lingyi was actually quite frustrated as well. Although she was entrusted with taking care of Qishala’s body, she could not fully control this strong physique. Driven by the body’s instincts, Lingyi inexplicably ran to Paiyiga City.
Then she encountered Hali, who had come over to stir trouble.
Qishala’s body kept sending Lingyi warnings, telling her how important Hali was to Qishala, so Lingyi tied Hali up.
[Lingyi is puzzled by your identity because ever since you appeared, Qishala’s body entered an unprecedented state of affinity, as if a gentle cat waiting for its owner’s touch.]
[You explained your identity to Lingyi.]
["So you’re the runaway scumbag!"]
I didn’t want to run away, alright! It’s just that the archive was deleted. How was I supposed to know that a thousand years had passed when I returned?
No, I must punish and vent this anger in my heart.
[You ruthlessly punished Lingyi.]
[Lingyi acknowledged your identity as a good man.]
Why does it feel even more sarcastic?
Shen Sui thought speechlessly.
[You arrived at Zelie Castle with Alice under Lingyi’s guidance.]
[The ancient castle stood tall in Paiyiga City, like an old pearl in the river of time, exuding a tranquil yet mysterious light.]
[And in a corner of the castle, there was a burned-down residence, which was the house Alice set on fire when she first came to Paiyiga City.]
[On the pitch-black ruins lay a pure white giant dragon, its white scales reflecting sunlight, emitting a colorful glow.]
[The elements floating in the air danced on her body, forming an auspicious cloud.]
[The giant dragon seemed to sense the arrival of a familiar presence and opened her eyes to look at the people coming her way.]
[In the next moment, this majestic dragon disappeared from where she was.]
[She appeared behind Shen Sui, her body shrunk to a rideable size.]
[Qishala extended her head, nuzzling against your cheek, enjoying the comfort you provided.]
Shen Sui looked at this message, hesitating for a long time, uncertain about what would happen after clicking the comfort button.
[Qishala nuzzled against your cheek.]
Alright.
Shen Sui clicked comfort.
[You stroked Qishala’s neck, she purred comfortably, raised her head, rested her chin on top of yours, and happily wiggled her body.]
[Alice looked suspiciously at Lingyi beside her: "What are you doing?"]
[Lingyi raised both hands, expressing injustice: "It’s not me! It’s the body moving by itself. I’m just here to keep an eye on things; she’s mostly moving by herself, okay?"]
[Qishala clung to you.]
Wasn’t Qishala in the game supposed to be the very aloof Star Abyss White Dragon Empress? Why has she become so clingy?
Shen Sui wondered, looking at the dozens of comfort messages from Qishala, feeling quite helpless.
But after all, he had been away for a thousand years, and he still felt a bit guilty towards Qishala, so Shen Sui clicked agree on all of them.
[Your comforting made Qishala very happy.]
[Ding! You have obtained the Soul Card Follower: Star Abyss White Dragon·Qishala]
[Ding! Since this Soul Card is not in its complete form, you cannot extract it.]
It’s here.
Shen Sui squinted, the legendary extra Soul Card.
Life Card Masters can only draw one Soul Card through the Dueling Device, but if you have a certain opportunity in the Soul Card World, it is possible to obtain other Soul Cards.
In the history of Life Card Duels, there were many duelists who had a second Soul Card in their deck, but that was because when their Soul Card died in the Soul Card World, direct descendants existed, so they could rebind the bloodline of the old Soul Card as a new Soul Card, while the old Soul Card could still be used in duels, so their deck would have two Soul Cards. — The death of any follower in the Soul Card World does not affect the use of the Follower Card in duels.
If a Soul Card dies and no direct bloodline descendants exist, there’s nothing you can do; you lose connection with the Soul Card World because there’s no linked Soul Card.
Shen Sui heard that once there was an unfortunate Life Card Master whose follower’s descendants were not biologically related, exhaustively having eight options; the Soul Card World link was severed, and soon after, he discovered his wife had cheated on him and retired in fury.
In fact, the biggest impact of Soul Card death for a Life Card Master is not being able to obtain Life Cards that fit their deck from the Soul Card World, causing lack of variation in their deck, rendering them uncompetitive in the arena.
This is extremely fatal abroad, because it means losing a stable Life Card source and having to spend tens to hundreds of thousands per card on the market. Domestically, it’s somewhat better, as Life Card prices are not too high, but bulk purchasing and updating based on duel conditions in real-time is still unaffordable for some ordinary Life Card Masters.
Moreover, such externally purchased Life Cards are ultimately not a fit for one’s deck and cannot be updated in a timely manner, quietly disappearing from the public view after opponents thoroughly study the original deck. Upon reappearance, it might be time to retire.
The Soul Card Shen Sui obtained this time, however, is a completely extra Soul Card.
But what are the obtaining conditions for this extra Soul Card? Shen Sui hasn’t figured it out yet.
Unfortunately, because Qishala’s soul is still drifting in other worlds, he couldn’t extract this Soul Card yet, nor could he even modify the card’s effects.
Why did it become like this!
Reuniting with Qishala, obtaining a second Soul Card.
Clearly both should be very joyful things....
Shen Sui started daydreaming again.
Suddenly, a flash crossed his mind.
In the settings of "Dawn Link," due to the existence of an invasion mechanism, when players strategize against high-difficulty bosses, they can summon other players to invade and assist. The cost of this active summoning differs from other players invading on their own; the cost for active summoning is sacrificing half a Divine Format.
Perhaps I can utilize this mechanism to call upon the wandering Qishala.
The Divine Format is a material dropped by defeating godly bosses, and it’s very precious.
But Shen Sui currently does not have a Divine Format on hand.
The Divine Format of the God of Sin was converted into a Follower Card by him, and Sokfatris, as an Evil God, did not condense into a Divine Format.
Ah.... so frustrating.
Need to hastily take down a god.
Shen Sui looked at the Dueling Device.
[Qishala nuzzled against your sleeve, making affectionate murmurs.]
[Qishala nuzzled against your cheek.]
[Qishala shrunk to the size of a palm and slipped into your sleeve.]
[Qishala poked her head out from your collar, nuzzling her small head affectionately against your chin.]
[Qishala...]
I somewhat miss the aloof Qishala Empress.
