Chapter 252: Alice Galloping Across the Ocean
But soon, Shen Sui realized that even without An Wei coming to cause trouble, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
He just finished his shower when his Dueling Device sounded a notification.
This was a new event alert module developed by the Exploration Bureau.
It would alert when a Soul Card encountered a major event.
Actually, adding the module wasn't that difficult; the main issue was how the algorithm determined if the event was significant enough for the Soul Card.
Isn't Alice supposed to be taking a break on Dragon Island? Could she be stirring up trouble again?
Shen Sui immediately opened the Dueling Device.
Alice's trip to Dragon Island was mainly to seek Qishala's help in healing Lingyi.
Qishala, having already agreed with Shen Sui in advance, definitely wouldn't refuse this matter.
However, as Alice's elder, Qishala wouldn't simply agree without some conditions.
If Shen Sui's tests for Alice were just to prevent her from developing a freeloading mentality, the Dragon Race's tests for their descendants were even more rigorous.
Because of Shen Sui's attitude towards Alice, Qishala had already started nurturing Alice as if she were her own daughter.
Based on the Dragon Race's tradition of raising offspring, she began training Alice very strictly.
Regarding Lingyi, Qishala had already visited, and although it was a bit tricky, there was no life-threatening situation. All it required was finding some time to visit Lingyi's original world to find his backup mind.
Nevertheless, a full act was still necessary. After agreeing with Alice, Qishala pretended to set out first, but the test for Alice was still in effect.
But...
When Shen Sui saw the task Qishala had given to Alice, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Qishala probably overlooked the stories Shen Sui told her about Alice; she actually tasked Alice with finding the Deep Sea Fish King.
Of course, being one of the classic difficult tasks in the game, any Fishing King task was very challenging, especially for a professional Air Force person like Shen Sui.
Shen Sui, in his quest to catch the Spring Fish King Paiyiga's Guard, even drained Lake Paiyiga dry.
Of course, to emphasize that he caught it, Shen Sui stubbornly hung a fishhook on the Fish King.
No matter how I caught it, you just need to see if the fish was caught!
However, for Alice, who once used a horse to fish, she has never failed any fishing-related task up to now.
But soon, Shen Sui discovered that Qishala laid out the task with great finesse.
Despite Alice possessing the Golden Ship with its Divine Skill in fishing, this little girl was always stubborn and competitive, and since Qishala was already off to save Lingyi, she wasn't in a rush to complete the task immediately, thus her fishing craze took over, and she insisted on trying it herself.
Then, over the past seven days, Alice earned the annual income of an ordinary family on Dawn Continent just by going out to sea fishing.
["Let go of me! I'm going to dry up this place!" Alice held the Fireball Technique in her hand, poised to hurl it into the sea.]
[She planned to use the fireball to dry up the sea and then attach the fishhook to the Deep Sea Fish King's mouth!]
...
Well-played, Alice.
["Don't be impulsive, Alice." Anna clung to Alice tightly, trying her best to dissuade her, "We don't have enough Magic Recovery Potions."]
???
Wait!
Your words suggest you don't see anything wrong with Alice's plan?
Shen Sui only discovered today that as Alice's best friend, Anna also seemed to have an abnormal thought process.
[Alice ignored the dissuasion.]
[Alice set the sea on fire.]
[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Overestimate.]
Setting the sea on fire, only you could pull that off, Alice.
[Alice ignited the surrounding waters.]
Ah... not surprising anymore, this is no longer surprising.
[The Master of the Deep Sea, Clotho, who was recuperating nearby, was disturbed by Alice's flames.]
[It felt an unusual rage.]
[As the most powerful magical beast of the deep sea, its recent experiences were very tragic.]
[First was a powerful mermaid trying to catch it.]
[Then its most cherished descendant went missing near Dragon Island.]
[And now, this incident.]
[The enraged Master of the Deep Sea roared as it surfaced.]
[Its tentacles created mammoth waves.]
[Its roar induced a sky full of storms.]
[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Mockery of Fiery Fire.]
[Alice looked at the sudden giant squid and exclaimed delightedly, "This must be the Deep Sea Fish King!"]
Clearly, it's not.
Shen Sui said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, this thing doesn't look like a fish at all.
However, it seemed that the Deep Sea Fish King and this giant squid were arch enemies.
[The infuriated Master of the Deep Sea planned to incinerate the daring Alice who angered it.]
[Alice's little boat appeared particularly tiny amidst the towering waves.]
[Yet with her Vehicle Mastery, she steadily and deftly controlled the boat.]
["How did you guys manage to provoke it?" A familiar figure grabbed onto the Golden Ship's tail and swiftly climbed onto Alice's boat.]
[Mermaid Princess Xia Lulu.]
[Smack!]
["Ah!!!"]
[Before Xia Lulu could speak, the slightly annoyed Golden Ship kicked her back into the sea.]
So, the Sea Race had already noticed the Master of the Deep Sea.
Considering their ancestor seemed to head to the deep sea to capture this giant squid, the Sea Race acted immediately.
Of course.
The real giant squid had appeared.
Does that mean Martina is nearby?
"Is this the Dueling Device?"
Just when Shen Sui was about to warn Alice to watch out for Martina, a soft sensation came from behind him.
Freymia had come out after her bath, wrapped in a towel from behind and hugged Shen Sui.
"It's through this little screen that you've been communicating with me?" Although not her first time seeing Shen Sui's Dueling Device, Freymia still found it intriguing. "It's really amazing."
"By the way." Shen Sui, seeing Freymia mention this topic, shared an idea he had, "I might be able to get you a Dueling Device. Have you thought about becoming a Life Card Master?"
Shen Sui learned from Bu Pei that Dueling Devices weren't solely obtainable through Duel Exams; as long as you have connections, you could buy one for a few million.
"A duel? I kind of want to play too." Freymia hesitated a bit.
"If you're linked to the Dawn Continent." Shen Sui thought for a moment, saying, "Maybe your Soul Card could be Aina."
He asked Lin Ke'Er today about the possibility of a Soul Card becoming someone else's Follower Card, not only for Isabella but also for Freymia.
Aina was now Shen Sui's Follower Card.
If they could coexist, perhaps she could also become Freymia's Soul Card.
Freymia pursed her lips, feeling a bit hesitant.
She had truly come with a resolved heart across two worlds back then.
"Give it a try. My Freymia isn't someone cold-hearted," Shen Sui said with a smile.
Freymia lowered her head, gave Shen Sui a gentle peck on the cheek.
"Just one kiss?" Shen Sui chuckled.
Freymia's cheeks blushed slightly:
"When we get home, I'll try on that outfit..."
