Chapter 93: Chapter 93: What Are You Doing to the Cup?
Shen Sui looked at the card that popped up on the screen, feeling a bit confused for a moment.
Vivian’s hairpin can become an Equipment Spell Card too?
I remember, this thing was just a costume in the game, right?
Could it have become a Holy Relic in this world?
Moreover, what were these people thinking, trying to open my storage box with Vivian’s hairpin? Even if Vivian herself came, she couldn’t open my box.
Meanwhile, Alice had already opened the treasure chest Shen Sui had placed in the Deceitful Monster Cave.
Just like Paiyiga Lake, the treasure chests in the Deceitful Monster Cave don’t actually contain much high-level magic and items. After all, these are exploration sites from early on, and Shen Sui rarely visits them after leveling up.
At least Paiyiga Lake still has fishing, while the Deceitful Monster Cave only provides low-level monsters and some inferior minerals with no other yields. Shen Sui hasn’t visited even once after his level increased.
Therefore, the items in this treasure chest aren’t particularly good.
But that’s just for Shen Sui. For a player, these are already very useful for Alice.
Beginner’s Experience Potion, Beginner’s Magic Potion, Beginner’s Life Potion....
This box doesn’t have any decent magic items and skill books, but it does contain magic potions that are crucial for newbies.
Hmm...
What was I thinking at the time? Why did I leave these magic potions in a box when going into the mine?
A trace of doubt flashed through Shen Sui’s mind.
Oh.... it seems I was making a beginner’s guide, to break the newbie’s magic anxiety, I didn’t bring any potions at all, went into the mine at level 50.
Well, this is good, it benefits my Alice.
[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Beginner’s Experience Potion]
[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Beginner’s Life Potion]
[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Beginner’s Magic Potion]
Shen Sui glanced at them. The effects of the three cards weren’t actually that great; the most useful was probably the Beginner’s Magic Potion, recovering 3 cost for 1 star, it’s somewhat useful in certain situations. However, for Shen Sui, the benefits are low and it takes up card space, not very practical.
[The Sinful Chalice humbly begs for mercy, saying it can’t regurgitate what it swallowed.]
[You somewhat disappointedly set down the Sinful Chalice.]
Shen Sui was indeed a bit disappointed. When he saw these mercenaries holding Vivian’s hairpin, he immediately pulled out the Sinful Chalice, attempting to rescue one or two people from it to interrogate them thoroughly, asking where they got the hairpin from.
The hairpin is not some mysterious item, but as a personal belonging of Vivian, it might lead Shen Sui to Vivian’s whereabouts.
Unfortunately, the Sinful Chalice’s digestion is always superb, devouring and absorbing as nourishment for sins, giving Shen Sui no chance to interrogate.
Fortunately, where there’s contact, there are traces left behind; investigating these people’s movements might possibly lead to some clues.
[The Sinful Chalice is scared of your power, reminiscing on the humiliating past when you held it. It silently retracted the tentacle connecting Anna, deciding not to threaten your family and friends at least until you vanish again, to prevent you from crushing it with force once more.]
[Anna is no longer threatened by the Sinful Chalice.]
Ah, this....
I even forgot about this stint; it seems I myself am the mightiest Destructive one.
Shen Sui looked at the information on his Dueling Device, feeling a bit speechless.
It seems unnecessary to look for any Holy Sword to sever connections.
You’re one of the seven Sacred Artifacts! Can’t you be a bit more steadfast? What’s with admitting defeat just like that?
I also hoped to use you to somewhat motivate Alice positively.
Shen Sui grumbled intensely in his heart.
However, come to think of it, this indeed is good for Anna.
Should I tell Alice about this? She seems to have always been very concerned about Anna.
Shen Sui hesitated for a moment. After all, Anna is also one of Alice’s motives for action; if Anna is no longer in danger, Shen Sui strongly suspects Alice might turn into a street wanderer on Dawn Continent, stirring up trouble everywhere for him.
But deceiving Alice with lies isn’t something Shen Sui likes to do...
["What are you doing to the cup?" Alice asked, surprised and curious, looking at you.]
???
["It looks so weak." Alice blinked her eyes.]
???
[Apparently, Claude is very desperate, gotta quickly help him find Vivian....]
[Hmm! Perhaps we can first let Miss Qishala return.]
[Alice thought back on the rumors of Claude and the White Dragon, quietly making up her mind.]
What the heck!
Alice! What’s in your filthy mind! What the heck did you misunderstand?!
Punishment! She must be punished severely!
Seeing Alice’s thoughts, Shen Sui instantly withdrew the thought of telling Alice the truth.
This kind of girl can’t be educated with normal means, requires a strong hand!
Shen Sui clutched his chest, feeling his blood surge.
For a moment, he even had the urge to prove to Alice that his XP was perfectly normal.
But then he thought of the racy pictures saved on his phone from his previous life, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Shen Sui patted his head, driving the distracting thoughts away from his mind.
With the acquisition of the treasure chest, Alice’s journey in the Deceitful Monster Cave had come to an end. With Alice’s current speed of advancement, there likely won’t be many opportunities to return here in the future.
Under Shen Sui’s guidance, Alice captured a few insignificant Deceitful Monsters.
As a result, he also obtained corresponding Follower Cards.
Just like the Elemental Creatures made by Andori, these cards will not be included in Shen Sui’s deck, but they can provide Shen Sui with a very stable income stream.
After all, Life Card Masters are in desperate need of Follower Cards. Even if these Follower Cards don’t have powerful effects, at least they prevent them from having an empty turn.
Shen Sui plans to see if he can exchange these cards for some interesting cards.
Although Shen Sui feels that the cards Alice gets for him are generally quite good, with so many Soul Card Worlds, they always have some surprises for him.
Even if he can’t get any main cards.
Getting some cards for entertainment purposes is pretty great as well.
Shen Sui glanced at the message, it was an address sent by Bu Pei.
He had returned to Modu and promised to take Shen Sui to a place he frequents for Life Card exchanges, although he usually goes there to buy Forbidden Cards, they also have a legitimate card exchange channel there, and the channels are very formal.
[Oh, by the way, did you hear? Feng Lindu seems to be unreachable.] Bu Pei gleefully gossiped with Shen Sui, [Probably hiding on purpose to avoid public opinion.]
[You pay attention to this kind of news?]
[I’ve been eyeing his Forbidden Cards.] Bu Pei replied.
Shen Sui sensed Bu Pei’s wicked sense of humor. If he didn’t know this guy, he would even suspect this fellow of being the instigator of the domestic Forbidden Card trend.
Come to think of it, buying Forbidden Cards requires spending real money, and it doesn’t seem a lot to say.
Shen Sui raised his hand, ready to berate him, but a message suddenly popped up.
