My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

[Goddess of Death Arianna] + [Land Reclamation] is a maneuver that, with sufficient resources in the opponent's graveyard, can take control of all card slots on their field.

Once the card slots are taken over, the Life Cards on them become Shen Sui's possessions, ready for manipulation at will.

The key is, against Shen Sui's move, it seems that aside from countering the first activation effect of [Land Reclamation], once this chain starts, you have no way to stop Shen Sui's encroachment.

That's because from the second activation onwards, the Land Reclamation belongs to the effect initiated by Arianna, which cannot be linked by card effects, meaning you have no way to activate a card effect to intercept it.

Moreover, [Land Reclamation] is a spell card aimed at transferring control of card slots, and the resistances of ordinary followers generally have no effect.

Ji Bubai suffered a loss because of this.

Though his maneuvers were somewhat arbitrary, he really wasn't that incompetent.

Yet, the entire deck couldn't produce a single spell card to counter [Land Reclamation].

"Isn't my girl's strength amazing!" After being taken down by Shen Sui's direct attack without suspense, Ji Bubai proudly said to Shen Sui, "Look at their sturdy thighs, those are the results of rigorous daily training!"

Shen Sui couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth at this statement.

A normal person looking at shipgirls wouldn't be looking at thigh muscles, they'd be admiring the stockings on their thighs, right?

Besides, I clearly took control of your follower, so why do you seem so proud, even happy about being taken down by your own follower's direct attack?

Shen Sui felt that this handsome guy, idolized by countless girls, seemed to have a rather strange side to him.

After winning a two to zero victory without suspense, Shen Sui temporarily retired, waiting for the next opponent in the upcoming duels.

The All-Star Championship does not have a definitive overall champion; generally, it only distinguishes among the Infinity Brawl Champion, the Forbidden Card Tournament Champion, and the Doubles Champion. However, if someone can claim two of these titles, they would be referred to as the All-Star Champion.

"How do you feel?" As Shen Sui returned to the lounge, Vivian, who was waiting there, asked with a smile.

"Not very strong," Shen Sui replied.

Vivian rolled her eyes, "Who asked you about the opponent's strength? I was asking how you felt about seeing the shipgirl followers!"

"It's quite subtle," Shen Sui mused, stroking his chin, "It makes me feel like going back to it."

Unlike other games, quitting 'Shipgirl's Stray X' happens unconsciously.

Shen Sui started playing this game in his first year of college and played it until graduation. In fact, during his first year of work, he still retained his enthusiasm for the game, participating in every event, pursuing achievements like full galleries and max-level shipgirls, but unknowingly, whether due to work busyness or life's distractions, he spent less and less energy on the game.

Initially, he just stopped leveling ships, still insisting on participating in every event, spending quite a bit of time farming ships to maintain a full gallery. At that time, he actually already felt the game was uninteresting, yet he persisted, which was rare for someone like him who usually discarded games easily.

Gradually, his log-in intervals grew longer, and eventually, he would only log in at the start of events.

Finally, one day, Shen Sui missed an event, losing the complete gallery, and from that moment on, the last trace of his resolve faded, and soon after, he stopped logging into the game.

Even by the time he crossed over, the game still remained on his phone, but he just stopped logging in.

As a game that had accompanied him for so long, when Shen Sui learned that this game world truly existed, his feelings were very complicated.

Even when he found out that World No. 1 was the world of 'Dawn Link,' his emotions were not as complex.

After all, he could justifiably tell Vivian that his departure was unintended, merely a mischievous accident caused by his niece.

But he couldn't explain to his shipgirls that his departure was an accident, because leaving was indeed his choice.

Compared to many Soul Card Worlds that he could take or leave, once Shen Sui realized that World No. 33 was the world of 'Shipgirl's Stray X,' he decided to set this Soul Card World as his destination.

Now, it was just a matter of deciding how he planned to return.

As they conversed, the other three duels in the Infinity Brawl mode had already concluded.

After all, in this mode, the pace of Life Card Duel battles was exaggeratedly fast.

Many duels, similar to the one between Shen Sui and Ji Bubai, concluded within a few short rounds.

And among these four matches, Shen Sui was the only one to break the first-turn round, with the rest of the duels all ending in the absolute victory of the first-turn players.

The Infinity Brawl mode truly epitomizes the notion that a Life Card Duel is akin to a rock-paper-scissors game.

No wonder this mode cannot be chosen as the rule for professional Life Card Duel competitions.

Even though under tournament rules, many professional duels could also conclude quickly, the restriction of Soul Points at least prevents the first-turn advantage from becoming overwhelmingly significant, allowing both sides to reasonably contest a few rounds.
