Let you print cards, not let you kill gods

Alice beats her teacher.

According to the newly added special rules, she is qualified to start the stage race by default.

When Shen Sui learned the news, he couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this a rule specially made for Alice?"

But when I think about it, the freshmen now are actually very good.

In those days, everyone who was a life card master wanted to compete for the first place in the competition. They were all competitors, so even if they had some skills about swiping cards, they were hidden.

But with the reform of the new system, the life card duel competition is now more entertainment-oriented, and the real big numbers are in the buffer zone.

What the buffer zone involves is the safety of everyone.

If the overall strength of the life card masters is weak and the buffer zone is breached by extraordinary beings from the outside, what will happen?

In this environment where all mankind is advancing and retreating together, the fate card masters no longer hide themselves, and have posted their respective card swiping skills online for everyone's reference and discussion.

Not everyone's soul card is a card-swiping holy body, but the personal efforts of the life card master can still change some card-swiping experiences.

This can be seen from this year's admissions examinations of various duel academies.

In previous admissions examinations, considering that students' decks may not have so many life cards, restrictions were placed on examiners' decks.

As a result, this year there were a large number of students who directly defeated the examiners in the exam.

This shows that the overall level of students is higher than last year.

Crucially, this improvement will continue over time.

In this context, it makes sense that students can advance if they defeat their teachers in a duel.

Alice is at most the first beneficiary of this rule.

After completing the points race, Alice started the fixed stage race almost immediately.

Although the start time of her next journey has not yet been determined, it will definitely not take too long.

Alice also doesn't want to delay the recovery of the company because of her personal affairs.

She still has a good relationship with her corporate sisters, York City and Bumblebee.

According to the rules of the promotion competition, Alice began to challenge the life card masters of different ranks in turn.

These opponents are all chosen at random.

However, considering Alice's strength, there should be no problem at all when reaching level four or five.

She is now completely familiar with the rhythm of Life Card Duel, and already knows the characteristics of her deck well.

But I don't know why, every time Alice comes back, she looks exhausted.

And it’s still kind of tiring.

"What's going on? Is it so difficult to advance to the tier stage?" Shen Sui looked at Alice lying on the sofa in confusion.

"That shouldn't be the case. According to your deck construction, even if you play with your eyes closed, you can pass the third-level stage match if you shine brightly, right?"

Powerful decks are actually not scary.

What's really scary is that not only is it powerful, but the threshold for entry is also very low.

Can you imagine a situation where a newcomer to dueling can just get such a deck and beat an old guy who has been dueling for many years at will?

If such a deck were placed in a game where cards could be copied and printed, it would be a disaster.

The entire dueling environment will be ruthlessly destroyed until everyone duels with this deck.

Alice's Magical Girl already has a similar flavor, but it still requires some learning threshold.

But even so, it shouldn't be so tiring after playing the first, second, and third stage stages.

"You do not understand……"

When Shen Sui asked Alice why, she didn't even have the strength to raise her head.

He buried his head deeply into the pillow, and his voice had a muffled canned echo.

"Speak nicely!" Shen Sui put his hands on his hips.

"Why are you talking to me like a dad..."

Alice muttered, but sat up very obediently.

Shen Sui's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked helplessly: "So, what happened?"

Alice pouted and finally told Shen Sui what had happened in the past few days.

"Can you imagine? The duel opponent is one of my fans." Alice held her hands in vain, and black lines seemed to appear on her head. "Every time I played a card, they would scream and shout, "Miss Alice is great." Yeah! You played really well...etc."

Shen Sui put himself into the role of Alice, and suddenly he couldn't hold himself back and burst into laughter.

Alice glared at Shen Sui angrily: "This is a very serious problem! If the opponent is a fan, my duel will be greatly disturbed!"

"So you won or not."

"Won."

"But!" Alice put her hands on her hips, "But I feel really bad about defeating the fans, okay?"

"Oh~ so you can win by calculating the damage points."

"No, I always kill them instantly with 20,000 damage."

"Then why are you so sad over there!" Shen Sui picked up Alice's ears angrily and dragged the innocent moaning guy to the basement amidst Alice's wails.

"Wow wow wow! Are you going to teach me a lesson in a duel?"

Alice saw Shen Sui walking towards the duel venue, her eyes flashing.

"..."

No, your tone sounds like a bitch!

Shen Sui thought speechlessly in his heart.

"Help me advise on some issues."

Shen Sui brought Alice to the table next to the duel venue.

On the table was a duel mat for simulating duels.

As Shen Sui spoke to Alice, he took out two decks of cards and handed them to Alice.

"Two decks?"

"Yes." Shen Sui nodded, "One is a follower deck, and the other is a spell deck."

"What is this game?"

"Am I not studying a world where you can play a resurrection match? But I encountered some small problems." Shen Sui explained, "Just like the fortune teller swiping cards, those dead souls need to get the corresponding cards in that world to build their own decks."

"Spell cards are easy to say, but the number of follower cards is too small, so the decks built in this way will definitely be deformed, so I am thinking of using the current duel rules as the mother model to modify the duel rules."

As he said, Shen Sui took out the same two decks and demonstrated them to Alice.

However, unlike the deck handed to Alice, one of his decks actually only has five cards.

"In the new rules, soul points are no longer the cost of using cards, and the use of all spell cards is no longer restricted by costs."

"Isn't that invincible?" Alice put out a few minion cards, "Should there be restrictions on the general summon?"

"Of course there are restrictions. But duelists can only draw cards from the spell deck now." Shen Sui said, picked up the minion deck, selected a minion card from it, and placed it in the minion area.

"Duelists can check their minion decks in the main phase of the duel, and then select a minion from it to summon to the field, which is considered a normal summon."

"Huh? All cards in the minion deck are visible. Isn't that equivalent to playing cards with the deck in hand?" Alice asked in confusion, "The first attack advantage is too great."

"So, there are restrictions." Shen Sui took out a card on the side and said, "I reduced the soul point limit to, and it is no longer automatically restored to full, but one soul point is obtained every round. Duelists can perform a normal summon by paying 1 soul point."

This is a disguised limit on the number of general summons.

"The problem now is," Shen Sui said, pointing to the cards in his follower area, and said, "I want to add a mechanism to gain soul points by liberating followers, just like the fate card duel, so that duelists can gain additional summons by liberating existing followers."

"But I'm still considering how many followers can be liberated to restore one soul point." Shen Sui said.

"Why do you have to add this mechanism?" Alice didn't quite understand.

"..."

"..."

Shen Sui was silent for a long time, and then he slowly said: "The key point is not the mechanism of restoring soul points, but the mechanism of liberation. Of course, if you delete the soul points, it is also possible. How about directly liberating two minions and then summoning them once more?"

Alice was speechless: "Why do you have to add a liberation mechanism..."

"Nonsense! Without the liberation mechanism, how can I feed the opponent's minions to the fish!"

"Do you know why liberation is so powerful?!" Shen Sui started to gesture when he talked about this, "Because it is a rule! The rules of the game!"

Speaking of this, Shen Sui took out the life card duel rule set placed aside and said to Alice: "The effects of ordinary cards are only two or three hundred words, and this rule set has a full 30,000 words! The most powerful effects are all in the rules!"

"If liberation is not a rule, then it is the same as the methods of destruction, exclusion and rebound, but it is just an effect that is mocked by all resistances at will."

Looking at Shen Sui who was talking endlessly on the opposite side, Alice's eyes were empty.

Obviously, our Miss Alice still doesn't understand the real power of the rules.

That's right, after all, the opponent can't eat the life card in her hand, and then report that the number of cards in her deck is different from the reported number, thus sending her a defeat by violating the rules.

By the way, in the regular life card duel competition, there is really such a rule.

The life card master must report the deck to the referee before the duel. If the life card used in the duel is different from the reported one, it will be ruthlessly judged as a loss.

Alice was forced by Shen Sui to study the new rules for three hours.

She also dueled several games according to the new rules.

However, there were some minor problems every time, and then Shen Sui began to modify the rules.

Damn it!

This made Alice, who had exploited the loopholes in the rules several times, very unhappy.

Naturally, she put aside the depressing things she encountered in the promotion match.

In the fourth and fifth level promotion matches, Alice's opponents finally became much more normal.

Of course, their strength was also much stronger.

But Alice had already become a powerful card master who had transcended this level, so it was very easy for her to win.

"Hahaha! I'm already level 5!" After Alice finished the last promotion match, she felt that her soul had been sublimated.

So she quickly called Tang Lili.

Well, the other party's phone number was not told to her by Shen Sui, but Alice learned it when they exchanged addresses in the Soul Card World when they couldn't stand each other.

Of course, it was also that time that Tang Lili knew that Alice was Shen Sui's Soul Card.

Alice was teased by Tang Lili as a senior because of this.

Of course, Alice will definitely be called back later!

"Level 5?!"

On the other end of the phone, there was a burst of background music behind Tang Lili.

"Have you reached level 5 so quickly?"

Alice looked at the sky and said, "Are you still practicing? You haven't gotten off work yet."

"Idol trainees are like this."

"Wow, is being an idol so tiring?"

"Nonsense! I've only been here for a year." Tang Lili said unhappily, "I heard from my seniors that for idol training, two and a half years is the starting point for great success."

"Okay..." Alice pouted, then suddenly remembered that she came here to show off this time, "Don't change the subject! I'm level 5! Level 5!"

"It was you who changed the subject, okay!" Tang Lili said unhappily.

"So, when are you going to duel with me?"

"Ah? What?"

"Hey, hey, hey! The previous duel! A duel! You don't want to run away, do you?"

"Run away, I definitely won't run away." Tang Lili complained, "But I'm only level three, we're not in the same division."

"..."

"..."

"Huh?" Alice was silent for a long time, and then slowly uttered a word.

"Huh?!!!!"

Her crashed brain finally started to work.

"No! Why are you only level three!"

"Because I haven't had time to upgrade, the promotion system has changed." Tang Lili said as a matter of course, "I have various announcements and performances on weekdays, and I don't have time to accumulate points."

"..."

"So, my Miss Alice." Tang Lili seemed to stop to rest, with a hint of panting in her voice, "You haven't even asked me about my rank yet, how come you've upgraded to level five?"

"Woo~!" Alice was angry.

Alice wanted to say that she won the promotion match, but she immediately remembered what Shen Sui had told her about Tang Lili's past.

She didn't get into the Duel Academy, so she won the amateur match, and her promotion was not as easy as Alice's.

If she said this, it would obviously hurt Tang Lili.

"So what about our duel?" Alice couldn't forget it.

After all, although they seemed to be incompatible, Tang Lili was Alice's first friend who she met in the Soul Card World and then became friends with in reality.

In a sense, this was Alice's first "online friend".

She naturally attached great importance to this agreement.

"Who said that the duel must be in the game."

Tang Lili thought about it, then smiled and said:

"It just so happens that I will come to the Magic City in a while, and there will be a concert on the Sky Duel Platform. How about inserting a duel between us before the concert starts or ends?"

"Wow? Can you already be on the stage of the Duel Platform?"

"Hehe, I'm very popular~!"
