Let them print cards, not slay gods 140

Chapter 140: Choosing a Competition

Shen Sui felt like he’d been abandoned after being led on, but he had no proof.

Waking up the next day to a room once again tidied up perfectly by Qishala, Shen Sui fell into thought.

*I really should get a bigger house.*

*And Qishala can’t even play cards.*

He was slightly disappointed. He’d been hoping to use a duel to unlock more…positions.

Qishala had returned to the Dawn Continent, leaving behind a quick remark about handling some dragon clan affairs before quickly disappearing. Clearly, the wise woman had regained her composure and finally realized how absurd her actions the previous night had been, making it impossible for her to face Shen Sui for the time being.

Shen Sui could actually monitor Qishala’s movements through the Dueling Instrument, as she was his Soul Card.

However, he respectfully gave Qishala some personal space.

Shen Sui never considered himself a righteous person, even less so after his transmigration.

When Shen Sui confirmed the existence of a series of female characters he was pursuing in the Dawn Continent, he’d wondered how he would deal with them.

But Shen Sui quickly figured it out.

*They are all my wings.* *If I lose even one feather, my transmigration was for naught.*

Qishala’s departure left Shen Sui slightly disheartened.

But he believed Qishala would return soon.

His phone buzzed repeatedly, receiving several new messages.

Shen Sui scratched his head, cleared his mind, and then opened his phone.

First was a text message from Wang Ming confirming his safety.

Then came a series of messages from Xin Yuan Tan Chun.

Having officially become a Fifth-Rank Fate Card Master, as a professional player, the path ahead was undoubtedly long.

Shen Sui’s ambitions didn’t stop at being a Fifth-Rank Fate Card Master.

He wanted to stand on the world championship stage.

And the world championship required at least a Seventh-Rank Fate Card Master.

Xin Yuan Tan Chun was striving for this goal, and Shen Sui certainly couldn’t fall behind.

Most of the messages were about upcoming Fate Card duel competitions.

The competitions Xin Yuan Tan Chun promoted were professional events offering ranking points. Since there were few nationwide B-class competitions for Fifth-Rank Fate Card Masters, if Shen Sui wanted to quickly accumulate a large number of points, he’d have to travel all over the country.

Just like Xin Yuan Tan Chun, who had often disappeared recently, she’d been traveling the country to participate in competitions in other provinces to accumulate points.

Regardless of the domestic situation, professional Fate Card duel competitions remained consistently vibrant.

China was vast, with a huge population. Even if many people chose not to watch domestic competitions, the remaining audience could still support a massive market for these events.

Among these events, the economically prosperous regions hosted the most competitions.

On the list Xin Yuan Tan Chun provided, there were several B-class competitions being held in Shanghai in the near future.

Moreover, according to the principle of non-overlapping events in the same region, theoretically, if Shen Sui wished, he could continuously participate in competitions in Shanghai without rest until after the New Year.

Of course, the points accumulated in different B-class competitions varied. Some B-class competitions were very low-level, offering only symbolic points—one or two, at most. For Card Masters striving for promotion, this was better than nothing, but it was still preferable to participate in competitions with higher point rewards in other cities.

However, higher points meant higher-level competitors.

Without much thought, Shen Sui chose to register for the Shanghai Duel Tournament, which was about to be held.

This was a B-class duel competition officially organized by Shanghai, with a champion prize of 8.88 million yuan and 1000 competition points.

To be promoted from Fifth to Sixth Rank and qualify for the Sixth-Rank promotion tournament, 5000 points were needed. A single tournament victory could provide one-fifth of that.

Ironically, as the highest-level B-class competition in Shanghai, the Shanghai Duel Tournament, which had been held ten times, had never been won by a Shanghainese.

However, Shen Sui thought this unfortunate streak might continue this year.

*Because in my setting, I seem to be from Taili City.*

Shen Sui thought while filling out the registration form on his phone.

“What? You said you decided to register for the Duel Tournament?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun asked excitedly over the phone.

“I said, it’s just registration, is it really necessary to be so excited?” Shen Sui, who wanted to ask Xin Yuan Tan Chun about what club-level issues he needed to pay attention to as a Sky One Academy student attending such a competition, asked somewhat speechlessly.

Xin Yuan Tan Chun exclaimed, “Of course it matters! Because I’ve also signed up for this competition!”

“Oh, so we’re opponents then,” Shen Sui didn’t feel anything. “Speaking of which, as my coach, you haven’t even had a practice match with me. That’s rather unprofessional, wouldn’t you say, Miss Xin Yuan?”

“I never intended to be your coach!” Xin Yuan Tan Chun said somewhat nervously. “Besides, you don’t need me to teach you.”

“Then, as your student, I can only challenge you, my coach, in the competition. Don’t lose to me.”

“You…” Xin Yuan Tan Chun was furious. “I won’t lose!”

However, Xin Yuan Tan Chun still diligently explained the necessary precautions for the upcoming competition, sharing invaluable experience. She didn’t hold back any knowledge simply because Shen Sui would be her opponent.

After hanging up, Shen Sui briefly replied to messages from other acquaintances.

When he saw Lin Ke’er’s message, Shen Sui paused slightly.

He hadn’t forgotten the teacher who had helped him.

It was just that he’d been busy since starting school and hadn’t had the time to contact his former homeroom teacher.

After a brief chat, Lin Ke’er expressed her great joy at Shen Sui’s achievements. After Shen Sui had passed the ranking tournament and successfully become a Fifth-Rank Fate Card Master, Lin Ke’er, Shen Sui’s former homeroom teacher, had also risen in status at the school. After all, it was Lin Ke’er who suggested that Shen Sui go to Sky One Academy.

However, Lin Ke’er still expressed her concerns about Shen Sui’s future.

She clearly knew that Shen Sui had chosen the number one Soul Card world.

As someone who had taught many students, Lin Ke’er was familiar with the dangers of the Dawn Continent.

She didn’t know that Shen Sui’s Soul Card, Alice, had already made a name for herself in the Dawn Continent. Out of concern as a teacher and friend, she gave Shen Sui some advice.

Lin Ke’er didn’t express excessive pessimism; she still treated Shen Sui like a sensitive child.

Shen Sui didn’t dislike this caring attitude.

He was an adult and didn’t care about others’ opinions like a teenager would.

“I’ll visit the school to see you in a while.”

Shen Sui said to Lin Ke’er.

His gaze fell on the tournament schedule.

In a while, there would also be a B-class duel competition in Taili City.

He could go back then.

To be continued.
