Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Shen Sui’s Resolute Decision
[Ding! You have obtained the Equipment Spell Card: Vivian’s Notebook No. 9]
Upon finishing the diary, Shen Sui received a notification about obtaining a new Life Card.
However, this time, Shen Sui’s heart was not filled with much joy, but rather a hint of sadness.
Vivian had written all her pain and confusion, her longing, into the diary.
The words on the diary flowed like a river, spilling out from the screen.
Even across the firm barriers between two worlds, Shen Sui could still feel the stirring of his emotions.
No matter what, he must find Vivian again.
Shen Sui’s eyes flickered.
On the Dawn Continent, there was no such thing as true death.
Anyone could die, and anyone could be resurrected.
The Gods could experience Recovery after Twilight, and people could awaken from death.
[Alice finished exploring the cave, and she cautiously stood behind you, intending to share her findings with you, but upon seeing your appearance, she dared not disturb your silence.]
[Ding! You have obtained the Permanent Spell Card: Adoso’s Summoning Ritual]
[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Elemental Descent]
...
Alice seemed to have found some magic books left behind by Vivian, and Shen Sui snapped out of his thoughts, looking at the string of spell acquisition notifications popping up.
[Andori, yawning, sat on Alice’s shoulder. She had just awakened, though mostly recovered, she was still a bit tired.]
An adventurous thought suddenly occurred to Shen Sui.
He typed in some words and cast a spell on Andori, quickly restoring her.
[Andori’s spirit was restored, and she happily flitted about before finally settling on your shoulder.]
["It’s more comfortable sitting here, Claude," Andori chattered, "This girl is too skinny. Honestly, why doesn’t she have breasts soft enough to be used as a pillow like some girls do?"]
[Andori’s teasing made Alice very angry, and she pouted, glaring at Andori.]
I say, don’t judge human anatomy with your size.
Even though Alice is indeed flat-chested, for humans, breasts that can be used as pillows don’t really exist!
Wait.... Maybe they do, I remember the Frost Giant Race’s girls....
TM, what am I thinking!
Shen Sui patted his forehead. He input a command for Andori to summon several Wood Element Guards.
This is one of the Elemental Empress’s abilities.
As the leader of Elemental Creatures on the Dawn Continent, the Elemental Empress can summon powerful elemental creatures that correspond to her element.
Shen Sui thought about the deal with Yue Tao, so he asked Andori to summon some Wood Elemental creatures.
Andori, having already signed a Life Contract with Shen Sui, executed his orders without hesitation.
[A huge Elemental Guard appeared behind Alice.]
[Alice felt a gust of cold wind.]
["Next, train well with these elemental creatures," you said to Alice, "You might as well call Anna and Hali. The War God Temple is still too dangerous for you all. If you can’t defeat these Elemental Guards, I won’t allow you to go there."]
[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Wood Element Guard]
[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Wood Element Shooter]
[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Wood Elemental Warrior]
...
Shen Sui’s idea was actually very simple, with Andori back to nearly level fourteen strength, she could easily protect Alice unless facing the Gods of this world. Leaving her by Alice’s side for protection, he could perhaps shift his perspective temporarily away from Alice to explore various places on the Dawn Continent.
The practice of Life Card Masters detaching their perspective from the Soul Card to explore the world alone has been attempted by many, especially some Life Card Masters of ordinary worlds, because their Soul Cards generally face no life-threatening dangers, they can freely roam, sometimes even developing new businesses in the Soul Card World.
Some even establish families in the Soul Card world, constantly posting screenshots of their loving interactions with their Soul Card world wives on forums.
[TM, stop posting! If you have the guts, duel me! I’ll best your wife in a duel, damn it!]
This would always prompt someone to comment whenever such screenshots were shared.
By the way, most Life Card Masters aren’t that faithful, many have a wife in the Soul Card World and a girlfriend in the real world at the same time.
But such action is too dangerous for Life Card Masters in the Extraordinary Soul Card World. In those worlds, who knows when their Soul Card would face life-threatening danger, so how can a Life Card Master carelessly switch perspectives? This isn’t like changing camera angles in a game; it’s the character controlled by the Life Card Master genuinely moving around in the Soul Card World. If it’s far away, you really can’t just warp back.
Shen Sui had previously considered going out to explore alone, some places are too dangerous to bring Alice along.
However, it is risky because the Dawn Continent has fields and items that block magic, and if Alice ventured into such Forbidden Demon places, he couldn’t use Space Magic to teleport back; if something happened to Alice, it would be disastrous.
But now it’s different, with Andori, he could complete instant spatial transmission without any restrictions through their Life Contract, and the fourteen-level Andori could protect Alice well.
Furthermore, if Shen Sui could call back Qishala’s soul and acquire her Soul Card, then he wouldn’t need to worry about Alice at all. At that point, he’d have another Soul Card in the Dawn Continent, and even if something happened to Alice, he could switch to Qishala’s perspective and continue operating in the Dawn Continent.
Shen Sui has no intention of abandoning Alice.
Though it’s only been a little over a month, Shen Sui has developed feelings for Alice—albeit more like paternal feelings.
Watching Alice grow is quite satisfying—as long as she doesn’t keep causing trouble.
After reading Vivian’s diary, Shen Sui once again revised his plans.
The original plan was unchanged; at the War God Temple, he intended to feign weakness, lose to the War God, to thoroughly make Alice realize the necessity of personal strength enhancement.
On top of that, Shen Sui planned to find an opportunity to summon Qishala’s soul and gain a complete second Soul Card.
After that, he could temporarily step away from Alice’s perspective and venture across the Dawn Continent to search for Vivian’s whereabouts.
Even if it’s still across the screen, Shen Sui now clearly understands that it is reality, not a game, and regrets cannot be undone by restarting, so he must use his efforts to make up for all these regrets.
A thousand years ago, it was Vivian searching for a way to call herself back.
A thousand years later, it’s my turn to bring this silly girl back.
