"Bye-bye meow!"

Tang Lili jumped off the nanny van and waved goodbye to her girl group members.

Just moments ago, her girl group had successfully completed a halftime performance during a competition.

These cute girls with cat ears are gradually rising to the top of the domestic girl group scene, which also means more and more performance invitations.

Tang Lili hummed the new song, taking small steps toward her rented apartment.

She is the most exhausted in the team, balancing being an idol while participating in various competitions. Moreover, since her Idol Card Set's strength couldn't reach new heights, her recent competition results have been unsatisfactory, with her not even passing some top-tier C-level preliminaries.

Tonight, she once again fell short in the quarter-finals of a competition.

However, with enough points accumulated, she could now apply to compete in the Promotion Tournament from stage one to stage two.

Hu.....

Tang Lili exhaled a breath.

The chill of late autumn gave her a slight sense of coldness. This morning, it was still as hot as an autumn tiger, but by nightfall, it started to drizzle continuously.

Fine rain floated in the air and swayed with the wind, appearing almost like mist under the dim streetlights.

This kind of rain is the most annoying, feeling unnecessary and useless to carry an umbrella because the raindrops come from all directions.

Tang Lili didn't bring an umbrella, and after walking for a while, her short silver-gray hair became wet, and her cat ear hair accessory drooped from absorbing water, making her look like a dejected kitten drenched by the rain from afar.

Under a streetlamp ahead, a person in black stood leaning against the light pole. Tang Lili felt something was off and quickened her pace.

"Miss Tang Lili." As she passed the person in black, he spoke.

Tang Lili instinctively stopped in her tracks.

A fan?

"You lost today's match, didn't you?" The voice of the person in black was young, his face hidden under a dark hood, but always gave Tang Lili the feeling that he was watching her.

"Ah...." Tang Lili felt something was wrong, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important."

Tang Lili turned and started to walk away.

The education she received taught her that people who say things like this are usually up to no good.

"Don't you want your card set to gain more powerful strength?" The person shouted loudly.

Tang Lili stopped again, turned around, and looked at the person in black.

The person in black let out a light laugh, walked up to Tang Lili, his voice carrying a certain peculiar allure.

"Your card set, it's an Idol Card Set, isn't it...."

Tang Lili immediately confirmed, the other party was definitely not her fan; otherwise, he wouldn't ask about her card set's main theme with such a rhetorical tone, as all fans knew her card set was an Idol Card Set.

"Hehehe." The person chuckled, "Don't be surprised.... we know everything."

"These few cards might be useful for your Promotion Tournament." The person in black handed two Life Cards to Tang Lili.

Tang Lili instinctively took the two cards.

******

Card Name: [Idol Support]

Category: Spell Card

Stars: 8-star

Effect: During your main phase once per turn, if there is an [Idol] follower on your field, you can activate it to make the opponent discard at least two cards or pay at least 1000 Life Value, and add X [Cheering Sticks] to their deck. (X is the number of cards discarded this way or Life Value paid this way/500)

******

Card Name: [Idol Support Club]

Category: Permanent Spell Card

Stars: 10-star

Effect: ① Once per turn, at the end of your main phase, if there is an [Idol] follower on your field and you have not used [Idol Support] this phase, you can discard a card to activate this, as if you used [Idol Support];

② At the start of the opponent's turn, if there are fewer than 3 [Cheering Sticks] in the opponent's deck, they must choose one of the following effects to activate:

○ Take 1000 points of damage;

○ Cannot activate card effects until the end of the turn.

******

Tang Lili lifted her head in surprise, but the person in black in front of her had vanished without a trace.

The autumn rain remained icy, carrying a somber feeling.

Tang Lili stood in the rain, bewildered, looking at the empty alley.

-----------------

"So, this is why you came to find me?" Shen Sui glanced at the two Life Cards Tang Lili handed him, playing with them casually, "Someone gave you such powerful cards for no reason, could it be a fervent fan of yours?"

"I thought so too at first." Tang Lili laid on the table, her cat ears twitching, "But if it was a fan, they wouldn't have this attitude, right.... At least give me a chance to thank them."

"If it's a fan indeed, they must love you deeply." Shen Sui joked, "These cards are incredibly powerful, after all, to be generous enough to give them to you."

"However." Shen Sui laid the two cards on the table, "They force the hand, cut life, and interfere with the deck; this idol isn't straightforward."

These two Life Cards conveyed a sense of fanaticism.

[Idol Support] forced the opponent to support your idol, somewhat like pushing an agenda.

[Idol Support Club], it immediately questioned the fan loyalty, if you're not a fan of my idol, you might as well die!

Crazy, absolutely crazy.

No wonder Tang Lili was so conflicted.

Because these cards actually didn't align with her perception of her Idol Card Set's identity.

Idols should bring joy and smiles to others.

It's obvious these cards wouldn't bring happiness to enemies.

Of course, if Tang Lili voiced her thoughts, Shen Sui would surely refute her.

What do you mean it won't bring joy to the opponent? I think these two cards are quite amusing.

Additionally, Shen Sui used the dueling device to check the [Cheering Stick] mentioned in these two cards. It's a derivative card similar to a derivative item, a life card that only appears after using [Idol Support].

******

Card Name: [Cheering Stick]

Type: Equipment Spell Card

Star Rating: 2 stars

Effect: ① This card is placed in the deck or hand face up. When this card enters your hand and you have a follower in play, you must choose a follower on your side to equip and activate it.

② Equipped followers cannot attack [Idol] followers, and the effects on equipped followers are ineffective against [Idol] followers.

******

Very consistent with these two cards' positioning.

"What are you struggling with?" Shen Sui asked curiously, "As long as you have these two cards, even if your follower's strength is lacking, you can directly elevate to a first-class deck. And the issue of follower strength can be easily solved by finding a few strong life card plugins."

Tang Lili pouted and said, "I think idols shouldn't be like this."

"Ah...." Shen Sui originally wanted to say, why stick to ideas that don't bring tangible benefits, but he stopped himself from saying it.

He thought of Chen Weiming.

Adults, sometimes, also need some beautiful fantasies.

"Since they are in your hands, it's up to you whether to use them or not." Shen Sui said with a smile.

"And also, these two cards won't have any issues, right?" Tang Lili cautiously asked, "Like being stolen goods or something... I heard you know people from the Exploration Bureau; can you help me check?"

Shen Sui agreed to help and took out his phone to take photos of the two cards.

Soon, Wang Ming replied to Shen Sui, saying that these two cards were not on record.

The only strange thing was how the other party managed to erase the card ownership, allowing it to be gifted freely.

The worst-case scenario was to kill the original owner, making all his cards ownerless, without the need for a device to transfer ownership.

This was very much the style of American card hunters.

"But ah....." Shen Sui tapped his fingers on the table, "Strong cards often come with risks."

"Huh?" Tang Lili blinked her cute big eyes, glancing cluelessly at the card surface, Shen Sui's words making her think there were some side effects in activating these two cards, "Did you see it wrong?"

"Hmm, maybe." Shen Sui tapped his palm on the table.

On the two cards floated two very familiar eyes to him.

This was the symbol of the All-Knowing.

And in those two eyes, there was a mysterious power far exceeding [The Shattering of Beautiful Illusions].

The moment Shen Sui forced them out, they seemed extremely enraged, wanting to kill Shen Sui and everyone around.

However, Shen Sui simply tapped the table lightly, and the powerful force directly tore those two eyes apart.

All of this was invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people.

Shen Sui silently cleared the mysterious power attached to these two cards.

"By the way, I heard you have a promotion tournament coming up?"

"Yeah." Tang Lili nodded and said.

"Where will it be held?"

"At the Exploration Bureau." Tang Lili replied truthfully, "I heard future promotion tournaments and ranking tournaments will all be held at the Exploration Bureau."

The Exploration Bureau?

Shen Sui squinted his eyes.

Is the All-Knowing planning to act against the Modu Exploration Bureau?

This kind of extraordinary power strength far exceeds the boundaries of mere spying.

"Good luck." Shen Sui smiled to offer his blessing.

Tang Lili smiled, her adorable smile seemingly warming the atmosphere, attracting frequent glances from those around.

But Shen Sui didn't feel much about it.

Women without substantial armor aren't practical, no matter how sweet their smiles are.

Right now, his focus is entirely on researching this extraordinary power in his hand.

Tang Lili is still in the midst of her struggle.

It seems a certain persistence within her heart isn't easily broken.

Such matters can only be pondered by herself; Shen Sui can offer little help.

When Shen Sui returned to the dormitory, Freymia was still studying the old almanac.

"Where did you get this power?" Freymia asked, slightly surprised upon seeing the power fragment in Shen Sui's hand.

"Do you recognize it?"

"I don't." Freymia said straightforwardly, "But it always gives me a very uncomfortable feeling, like it wants to spy on me."

"I feel the same way." Shen Sui shared the sentiment, "And in terms of power level, it's at least tier fifteen. I don't know which Soul Card World's supreme this power belongs to."

"It's the Secret Peeping Man." A voice came from behind the two.

Shen Sui turned to look, and Qishala's graceful figure emerged from the translucent space.

She had already swapped out of her casual attire and donned a black and white maid outfit, transforming back into Shen Sui's Dragon Maid.

"Back now?" Shen Sui set aside the mysterious power.

Qishala glanced at Freymia:

"If I didn't come back soon, I'm worried some people might do things that go against the mistress."
