Chapter 704 462: Extraordinary Power Invasion (Ten Thousand-Word Chapter)_2
"So, how does this feel?"
"It feels strange, somewhat at a loss."
This is the first reaction of a normal person when faced with such a change of era.
In such a great upheaval, those who calm down first are often the groups that benefit the most.
According to Xinyuan Tanchun, many people are already starting to collect all kinds of powerful Soul Cards through various means, and these merchants purchasing Soul Cards have even put all their assets into it.
Clearly, they have already seen the future.
If you lose the duel, you die.
But if you win the duel, then you survive.
This also means that, in the future, Life Card Duels will be the main combat method of extraordinary powers in the real world.
Therefore, the importance of Life Cards is self-evident.
While Life Cards are still cheap domestically, they should be purchased in large quantities. By the time people realize it, the value of these Life Cards will have surely soared.
The price fluctuations at this time can no longer be controlled by any nation.
"However, typically, such life-and-death duels are very rare," said Shen Sui, touching the Dueling Device.
That's not incorrect.
The life-and-death duels, often are when a Life Card Master is subjected to a lethal attack from the other party and the defense system is forcibly activated, which means the defense system drags you into the Duel Realm just as you're about to be killed, giving you a chance for survival.
In such duels, both parties are already deadly enemies, so it's naturally impossible to have a peaceful situation.
Aside from this situation, other duels, as long as they are not bets of life in a Dark Duel, are essentially no different from the games and practices they were before.
"So, you have to think positively," Ji Bubai said as he plopped down next to Shen Sui, "At least in the real world, we won't die shamefully from those sneaky attacks, will we? Even if we die, it was because we fought a fair duel, and we only died because we genuinely didn't win."
"You're quite positive," Tan Song rolled his eyes and said to Ji Bubai, "In the Soul Card World, our projections at least have practiced some extraordinary powers, so we have a little ability to resist. As far as I know, the Life Card Masters' role in the Shipgirl World is just ordinary people, right?"
Ji Bubai raised an eyebrow: "Not necessarily. I heard there was a Legendary Commander a thousand years ago who could take missiles head-on."
Shen Sui awkwardly touched his nose.
Ji Bubai's situation is quite good, at least he can let his Soul Card shipgirl come to protect him. Someone like Tang Lili from the Soul Card World, where Life Card Masters don't have extraordinary powers, is the most miserable.
If it weren't for the defense system granting them the right to counter-kill through duels, ordinary Life Card Masters wouldn't know how to face the future situation.
"But all in all, the domestic front is relatively safe." The warmth from the venue's heaters had already raised the temperature, Bai Ye took off his coat, "A few days ago, I watched the international news, and it scared me to death."
In some countries where firearms prevail, after learning that Life Card Masters are the source of Extraordinary Invasions, the ordinary citizens took out their guns, planning to wipe out the Life Card Master community physically, completely eliminating the entrance of Extraordinary Invasion.
The first tragedy after the disclosure of the Extraordinary Invasion event turned out to be the massacre of Life Card Masters by ordinary people, something Shen Sui hadn't anticipated beforehand.
Unfortunately, such actions are ultimately futile.
Not only because the evolution of the Life Card Duel industry has resulted in a large community of Life Card Masters around the world, even if the Life Card Master community disappeared overnight, would the invasions from other worlds into the Extraordinary World really cease?
Probably not; instead, it may escalate.
Vivian once told Shen Sui that even before she first came to the real world, this world had already been frequently invaded by various extraordinary worlds.
The myths of various countries and the strange descriptions in the histories of various nations are not mere imagination; they are remnants of this world having been invaded by extraordinary worlds before.
It's because of this characteristic that Vivian valued this world, deciding to make it a hub connecting various worlds related to Shen Sui, and assisted the world's consciousness in establishing the Life Card Duel system.
"Speaking of which." Since the topic had already started, everyone naturally talked even more. After all, there was still some time before the formal competition, Bai Ye curiously asked the people around him, "Has the Exploration Bureau contacted you?"
The Exploration Bureau is recruiting powerful Life Card Masters to join their team, which is no longer a secret.
"I received it, still considering it," Ji Bubai said.
"I heard there are good Life Card rewards." Bai Ye had previously collaborated with the Exploration Bureau due to the Dragon God incident, so for her, this was a great opportunity.
After all, Life Cards are extremely valuable in the new era.
People here value powerful Life Cards greatly, naturally understanding their importance in this era.
"Speaking of which, I recently also applied for a Dueling Device." One of Tang Lili's teammates suddenly said.
This tall girl, although fond of Life Card Duels, never thought of applying for a Dueling Device, but with Extraordinary Invasions becoming a reality, even she, a delicate girl, had to think carefully about what could effectively protect her.
