Shen Sui handed the intelligence on Diluo over to Wang Ming while in the car.

"So that's what it was all about?" Wang Ming guessed that the matter Shen Sui handled in the Soul Card World today must have something to do with this Diluo.

"The opponent was very decisive," Shen Sui said, "They directly killed the Life Card Master."

Wang Ming was taken aback.

Shen Sui's words have a lot to unravel.

How did he know that the opponent killed the Life Card Master?

Does this mean that Shen Sui has the ability to invade the real world from World No. 1?

Wang Ming fell into deep thought.

It's not because he's particularly smart, it's just that Shen Sui never intended to hide it.

Conceal extraordinary power?

I can destroy the world in minutes, you should be the ones accommodating me.

Though Shen Sui wasn't keen on exposing his identity, as that would probably mean he couldn't enjoy card games anymore, he was even less interested in cautiously hiding himself when he had invincible power.

I'm invincible for my own pleasure, not to hide like a clown.

Shen Sui didn't care what he inadvertently revealed in his words, continuing to talk to Wang Ming about the intelligence on Diluo.

Wang Ming quickly realized that Shen Sui's intention was clear, which was the bonus from this mission.

He seemed to be in a hurry for money.

Did something happen?

Wang Ming pondered.

The dormitory door opened, and Qishala had already prepared dinner.

Wang Ming saw Qishala open the door and was momentarily stunned.

This guy, having a foot in both camps?

Scumbag!

That was Wang Ming's first reaction, after all, he'd seen another woman lying on Shen Sui's bed with his own eyes.

Just as Wang Ming was ready to disdainfully ridicule Shen Sui, he looked past Qishala's shoulder and saw Freymia sitting on the sofa.

His expression changed again, becoming quite subtle.

Though he still disdains Shen Sui's scumbag nature, there was inexplicable jealousy.

Damn, is this guy really playing so wild?

Shen Sui didn't care about Wang Ming's thoughts, asking before the door closed: "So, about the bonus..."

"I'll arrange it through special channels right away," Wang Ming was eager to go back and check for Life Card Masters who had used Soul Cards similar to Diluo in duels. As long as the duel was held in public or on video platforms, the Exploration Bureau would establish a database to record their Soul Cards and distinguishing Follower Cards for easy tracking.

Shen Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With this, there should be enough money for a house.

With Martina's arrival, Shen Sui's need for a private independent space became more urgent.

As Martina is a mermaid, the house must have a large swimming pool, right? Can't have her in a fish tank all day, can we?

Qishala, as a Giant Dragon, also needs space to occasionally stretch her giant dragon form, right?

And Freymia, with a hobby of planting flowers and plants, also needs an independent space.

Then there's Vivian and Isabella.

Antipus also needs an independent room arranged.

Then there's Alice... although she may not come, Shen Sui still thought it was best to leave her a room.

Even though Shen Sui could expand space with Space Magic, there still needs to be a property to expand, right?

His former self was a Candlelight Illusion created by Vivian.

Not sure how Vivian set his previous self's background as an orphan, but it meant that when Shen Sui came to this world, he had no stable place to stay, only feeling a bit of family warmth at Lin Ke'Er's.

"Is Martina coming too?" Freymia asked, chewing on an apple, blinking, "Ah, will there be enough space here?"

Freymia's initial reaction mirrored Shen Sui's.

Qishala thought for a moment and said, "There's still a bathtub in the bathroom; it can be makeshift for Martina."

They are all former comrades from the Twilight Council days, and although there's some competitive tension between them, the bonds from those times are strong.

On the battlefield against the gods, Martina's emergency supply transports had saved them many times.

Qishala and Isabella may not see eye to eye, but they are both good friends of Martina.

"Martina is a mermaid," Freymia said with a playful glance at Shen Sui, "How about I bring out that fish tank?"

It was a prop Freymia used to spice things up one night while dressed as a Mermaid Princess.

Qishala squinted her eyes. Although she didn't fully understand, she felt like something was going on.

Shen Sui coughed awkwardly a couple of times.

Luckily, Freymia's various costume changes didn't trigger a new form of her Soul Card. Otherwise, Freymia's forms might even outnumber Alice's by now.

Our Elf Empress sure knows how to have fun.

Especially after she learned how to surf the internet, she's become even more playful.

This also allowed Shen Sui to enjoy plenty of benefits.

Then Shen Sui started talking about the moving plans.

Before leaving, he had already mentioned this to Bu Pei. Our rich man very readily agreed to help and even stated that if Shen Sui could give him those future Forbidden Cards, the villa was his for free.

Of course, Shen Sui declined.

Now he wasn't short on money and didn't need to sell Forbidden Cards to regain funds.

Who would have thought that after just a few months in this world, he'd already basically achieved financial freedom? Although nowhere near Bu Pei's level, Shen Sui could comfortably live a wealthy life without any issues.

Even the [Star Magic Array] that he previously considered selling, Shen Sui no longer planned to part with.

Qishala was also quite happy because although the dorms at Tianyi Academy were spacious and the facilities complete, there was only one bed.

Even after accepting Freymia's attempts to lure Vivian away, Qishala was still uncomfortable with sharing a bed with Freymia, making our Dragon Lady very embarrassed—especially since Shen Sui's hands weren't very disciplined at night.

Freymia was also thrilled, as she had long wanted to expand the space for planting some exotic flowers and plants.

The bonus Shen Sui had been expecting arrived quickly.

Wang Ming, or rather the Exploration Bureau, acted really fast. The bonus from the mission was deposited the very next morning.

After clarifying the requirements with Bu Pei, Shen Sui happily prepared to head to Coastal City with Freymia and Qishala. Although he was eager to meet the legendary All-Knowing, the academy kept urging him to get there quickly.

They seemed very anxious.

Shen Sui took his promises seriously; after all, he agreed with the dean to participate in the competition and couldn't keep others waiting too long.

So he teamed up with Xinyuan Tanchun to decide on a departure date.

Meanwhile, on the Dawn Continent, Alice felt much more cheerful after completing the great incineration of Andrew Church and was ready to go back to the main storyline she had planned for herself: reshaping a body for Mr. Claude.

After Martina appeared, Alice became even more worried for Claude.

Such a cute, clingy girl, with a big chest, and she's a mermaid, while he's just a soul. Claude must be having a hard time!

Shen Sui was at a loss for words looking at Alice's thoughts.

What's with this girl being more anxious than me?

However, it's good that Alice has her own initiative, at least she's not someone Shen Sui needs to push forward actively, unlike some protagonists in system novels who don't know what to do outside of system quests.

But, Alice, your choice of objectives is just too weird!

Are you really that eager to tackle my physiological issues?!

Shen Sui didn't need to reshape any body, but Alice's question really got him thinking.

After much thought, Shen Sui decided to let Alice head to Oshana's family gathering place and see if there were any clues about Baris.

Now, among the game's romanceable female characters, only Baris hadn't been found.

As a human, Baris theoretically shouldn't be able to survive that long.

But Shen Sui still felt that Baris's disappearance was peculiar, even if Vivian couldn't explain it clearly. Thus, Shen Sui planned to investigate thoroughly.

Of course, besides romanceable characters, there are many others in the game who can't be romanced but whose favorability can be maxed out.

Antipus, the Insect Lady, is a classic example.

And there's Loli, the giant girl; who knows if she's still in the same place after a thousand years.

However, since these aren't included in the compendium, Shen Sui played randomly in the first round and speed-ran the second, without systematically increasing favorability. After all, there were quite a few akin to the landlord's landlady or the neighbor's wife.

In duels, Shen Sui liked to boast about others' cards, but in reality, he's a pure-hearted War God. He couldn't indulge in NTL behavior, with the maximum he could accept being widows (excluding funeral hall actions).

Of course, there was another purpose for visiting Oshana.

As the dueling intensity increased, Shen Sui needed to enhance some of his Follower Cards.

Aina might be able to draw the Elf Empress's Alternate Art Card the next time they meet, but Oshana and Hali need to be strengthened.

Shen Sui quickly laid out the next route for Alice.

First, head to the Elf Forest with Andori and the other Elemental Empresses. Last time, Shen Sui didn't manage to collect the Follower Cards of these Elemental Empresses, so this time he planned to get them all. This way, he should be able to have another set of Elemental Life System. However, not all Elemental Empresses are in the Elf Forest, as the Light Element and Dark Element Empresses seem to have gone elsewhere, and they need to be found.

Since he had returned, he of course needed to retrieve all his former followers as much as possible.

Next, investigate the city where the Price Clan is located for leads on Baris.

Meanwhile, during this period, it's a routine task to go to Spiritual Ability World No. 6 for some scraping at the Mirror Stele.

The special victory card [Spiritual Savior·Alice] is not something Shen Sui wants to miss.
