Chapter 81: Xin Yuan Tan Chun’s Troubles (Seeking Readership!)

After bidding farewell to Yue Tao, Shen Sui went straight to find Xin Yuan Tan Chun. She had finished her certification duel and returned to the academy.

“I say, aren’t you a part-time coach?” Shen Sui looked at Xin Yuan Tan Chun sitting by the window in the empty classroom, curiously asking, “Why do I always find you so easily at school? Don’t you have any matches? To reach Seventh Rank, you need enough points, right?”

Xin Yuan Tan Chun looked the same as before, but this time she at least made a conscious effort to tidy her appearance. At least she wasn’t wearing mismatched stockings.

“What can I do?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun sighed, “There aren’t any suitable matches lately.”

“Isn’t there the Silver Moon Unlimited Cup in Modu recently? I didn’t see you participate,” Shen Sui complained, “Isn’t that a B-class competition?”

“Hmph.” Xin Yuan Tan Chun snorted coldly, “I get angry just seeing Yang Li Guang.”

“What? You can’t beat her?”

“Her?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun grinned, revealing her white canine teeth, “Defeating her isn’t difficult. I’m just unwilling to do it.”

“So, you really can’t beat her.” Shen Sui concluded.

Xin Yuan Tan Chun glared at Shen Sui.

“That shouldn’t be right, isn’t your Soul Card the True Ancestor Vampire? It should be very strong, right?”

“A strong Soul Card doesn’t mean a strong deck.” Xin Yuan Tan Chun crossed her arms, indirectly admitting that she couldn’t beat Yang Li Guang. “The outcome of a duel depends on the overall strength of the deck. If the Soul Card is very strong from the start, the first problem is that your defined Soul Card world character simply cannot control a Soul Card with a strong will. Furthermore, strong Soul Cards encounter fewer unexpected situations, meaning you can draw few Fate Cards through them.”

“In a duel, what good is it if you have one strong card? If your opponent destroys it, aren’t you screwed?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun spread her hands, equally helpless, “My deck is the typical type where the Soul Card is strong, but the deck is weak.”

“But aren’t you trying to reach Seventh Rank?” Shen Sui asked, “Can you do it like this?”

“I’m so frustrated,” Xin Yuan Tan Chun sighed, “I was planning to go into seclusion and draw more Fate Cards in the Dawn Continent, but Isabella is always doing her own thing. What can I do? I can’t control her.”

“What if… I had a way to let you control her?” Shen Sui’s eyes twinkled.

He planned to formally contact Isabella.

After reading Vivian’s diary, Shen Sui understood that some problems could never be avoided. Time travel was like that, and game characters becoming real people was also like that. He needed to confront those feelings brought from the game into reality.

“Really?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun’s eyes lit up.

Looking at Xin Yuan Tan Chun, Shen Sui suddenly wondered, if Isabella became his follower card, would she still count as Xin Yuan Tan Chun’s Soul Card?

“Claude?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun heard this name from Shen Sui and asked curiously, “Who is that?”

Seriously, you’ve been with Isabella for so long, and you don’t even know who Claude is?

“The Dusk Bishop,” Shen Sui said again, “Do you know him now?”

Xin Yuan Tan Chun mechanically shook her head.

Shen Sui stumbled, almost falling off his chair.

“I say, is your Soul Card world really the Dawn Continent?” Shen Sui asked helplessly.

Xin Yuan Tan Chun was also desperate: “Do I look like the kind of strong character who can leave Isabella and go out alone? In my Soul Card world, I can only cling to Isabella’s leg to avoid being killed. I really want to know the information about the outside world, but Isabella has to tell me. Who understands what a Dusk Bishop is?”

“I see,” Shen Sui finally understood why the Modu Exploration Bureau director would rather come to him than Xin Yuan Tan Chun to understand information about World One. This girl really didn’t understand anything. “So, you were bragging? You can’t even control Isabella’s actions, how are you going to give me cards?”

“Throw them on the ground for you to pick up.”

“…”

“Besides,” Xin Yuan Tan Chun put her hands on her hips, defending herself, “I’m not completely ignorant. I at least know some names Isabella keeps mentioning, like Vivian, Qisala, Balis, Fremya, Martina…”

“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t say any more,” Shen Sui covered his face, raising his hand to stop Xin Yuan Tan Chun.

It felt like this girl was reciting a game encyclopedia.

“Just say what I told you to say to Isabella, she should be moved…Whoa! What are you doing?”

Shen Sui was startled by Xin Yuan Tan Chun suddenly leaning in close.

“I say,” Xin Yuan Tan Chun asked doubtfully, “You’ve only been in contact with the Dawn Continent for about a month, right? Why do you seem to know so much about that world?”

“It’s because you know too little!” Shen Sui didn’t answer the question directly.

Xin Yuan Tan Chun thought for a moment, smiled with relief, and nodded, confirming Shen Sui’s words: “Makes sense.”

“Speaking of which, you’ve passed the certification and can participate in the ranking tournament?” Xin Yuan Tan Chun looked at Shen Sui, congratulating him, “You’re amazing, to get the certification coach’s approval.”

I think Feng Lintuo probably wasn’t very happy to approve of me, it’s a pity he lost.

Shen Sui thought to himself, but his face didn’t show much emotion. For him, defeating Feng Lintuo wasn’t something to be proud of.

Probably tomorrow night, after the finals of the Silver Moon Unlimited Cup, Feng Lintuo’s duel with him would be made public. Before, Feng Lintuo’s participation in the certification duel was known throughout the internet, but who his opponent was remained a mystery.

Some even said that Feng Lintuo lost in this certification duel, which was even more absurd, and few people online believed it. When those people confidently said that Shen Sui was the protagonist of that certification duel, some people started mocking them, saying that it was made up by those obsessed with opposing Xin Nascent Soulxue, simply to hype up Shen Sui and put Xin Nascent Soulxue down.

All this was nothing to Shen Sui, who had engaged in countless online arguments in his previous life.

“These days, I’ve also been helping you with the handover to the Fate Card Association and the Exploration Bureau,” Xin Yuan Tan Chun stated her purpose for seeking out Shen Sui. “Probably tomorrow, your first round of the ranking tournament can begin. Finding a First-Rank Card Master isn’t difficult. You don’t need to feel any pressure. With your strength, the only question in the ranking tournament is how many ranks you plan to reach in the end.”

“For me, Fifth Rank,” Shen Sui said directly.

“Wow, you’re benchmarking against my little Xue again. You wouldn’t be interested in my little Xue, would you?”

Shen Sui rolled his eyes, crossed his arms, and said firmly, “Sorry, women are the most troublesome. My goal is only one: World Champion.”

“Besides, why would I be interested in real women? Aren’t waifu cards better?”
