Chapter 891 - 524: The Opponent Is Dead? Then Duel the Killer.
Perhaps if Miss Freymia had been there at the time, the outcome might have been different.Wang Ming glanced at Shen Sui.
After this incident, he was more aware of the value of having a powerful Extraordinary who favored them.
"Speaking of which, didn’t you go to check on the Forbidden Card collection point?" Wang Ming suddenly remembered, looking at Bu Pei with some tension.
The place was full of ordinary Life Cards that had already greatly impacted the current situation. If those Forbidden Cards were looted too, it would be a disaster!
Bu Pei quickly gave Wang Ming a brief overview of the situation at the time.
"Bastards! It’s them again!"
Hearing that a few more colleagues had sacrificed, Wang Ming was visibly angry. If it weren’t for the outsiders present, he might have damaged his newly arranged desk ornaments.
"None of the Forbidden Cards were lost, right?"
"They’re all here." Bu Pei took out a stack of Life Cards.
Shen Sui casually drew a few from the stack.
Seeing the intact Life Cards, Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Bu Pei also took the opportunity to state his purpose for the trip: "Although I don’t know where those Extraordinary’s intelligence comes from, they clearly know I have a large number of powerful Life Cards. If I continue to hold onto these cards, my life could be severely threatened..."
As Bu Pei spoke, Wang Ming gradually sat up straight, looking at Bu Pei with great enthusiasm in his eyes.
Seeing the speed at which Wang Ming changed his expression, Shen Sui couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of human nature.
Just before, because of Bu Pei’s collection being stolen, he had complex feelings towards Bu Pei. Now, he seemed eager to serve him tea and water personally.
"Here, have a sip of water to calm your nerves." Wang Ming cheerfully made a cup of tea for Bu Pei.
Alright, he really did personally serve tea and water.
"I plan to donate these Life Cards to the Exploration Bureau." Bu Pei took a sip of tea and finished his statement.
Wang Ming smiled.
Shen Sui also smiled.
It was the first time in his life he had seen such an ingratiating expression.
Judging by Wang Ming’s expression, whatever Bu Pei asked for next, as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, the Exploration Bureau would likely try to accommodate him.
Actually, after the Extraordinary Invasion, the number of people donating Life Cards to the Exploration Bureau wasn’t small, but most donated just one or two cards. Most people were professional Life Card Masters who depended on their card collections for a living and couldn’t donate too much.
Bu Pei was different. He didn’t rely on professional competitions to survive, and he had a self-awareness of his Life Card Duel level; otherwise, he wouldn’t still be catching easy prey in amateur competitions after all these years.
Holding onto a deck of Forbidden Cards while catching easy prey in amateur competitions was something only he did in the world.
Now, these powerful Life Cards were like a hot potato in Bu Pei’s hands. Naturally, he wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
As to why he chose to donate them to the Exploration Bureau instead of publicly auctioning them to recoup the cost of acquiring them, it was because Bu Pei, although somewhat extravagant, was very clear about where his family’s wealth came from.
Bu Mingrui researches the Soul Card World and Life Card Duel techniques.
In the era of Extraordinary Invasion, Bu Mingrui’s research is particularly important.
By donating, he compensates for his mistakes without affecting his father’s work, ensuring a good life for himself in the new era.
Wang Ming was very pleased now.
The batch of Life Cards donated by Bu Pei, even if they weren’t Forbidden Cards, were collection-level powerful Life Cards, making them excellent additions to the Exploration Bureau’s deck repository or as special rewards.
Thus, Wang Ming agreed to almost all of Bu Pei’s requests.
Public donation? Completely fine.
Wang Ming understood Bu Pei’s intention: to publicly distance himself from his collection.
But because of this, the public donation ceremony couldn’t be conducted rashly.
The Extraordinary Invaders in Modu needed to be cleared out first.
"Oh, speaking of which," Wang Ming suddenly recalled something, turning to Shen Sui, "You’re here for the Promotion Tournament, right?"
"Finally remembered me, huh?" Shen Sui teased, "Finding so many cards out of thin air, isn’t it delightful?"
Wang Ming coughed twice, deciding not to respond to Shen Sui’s jab, and changed the topic: "The Exploration Bureau has been extremely busy lately, dealing with numerous Extraordinary Invasion incidents every day..."
"Don’t tell me, you forgot to arrange my Promotion Tournament?" Shen Sui asked suspiciously.
"No way. The Life Card Master system is our defense against the Extraordinary. We’ve always been planning the Promotion Tournament details for all of Modu." Wang Ming smiled awkwardly, raising his hand to gesture to Shen Sui, "It’s just that there’s a little problem with your Promotion Tournament."
"What kind of problem?"
"The opponent originally arranged for you had a little accident."
Wang Ming said, looking very helpless: "Didn’t I mention earlier? This batch of invading Extraordinary used Parasite Beasts to kill some Life Card Masters, gaining knowledge and experience in Life Card Duels from them. Unfortunately, two of the three opponents arranged for you died in this Extraordinary attack."
"Isn’t there still one left?" Though just winning one match wouldn’t determine a result, it’s better than none at all.
Wang Ming replied: "There’s still your old opponent, Yang Liguang, but she won’t return to Modu until tomorrow."
"..." Shen Sui was speechless, wondering if he had come here in vain today.
Seeing Shen Sui slightly disappointed, Wang Ming offered, "Considering the current tense situation in Modu, I have a plan, but it carries some risk, so it’s up to you to see if you can accept it."
"What’s the plan?"
Wang Ming pulled out a stack of photos and laid them on the table.
"These are some of the most powerful among the batch of Extraordinary Invaders in Modu." Wang Ming explained, "As long as you defeat, capture, or kill two of them, you’ll pass the Promotion Tournament assessment."
"Wow, the most powerful ones, you’re asking me to court death." Shen Sui said, but his hand already picked up those photos from the table.
Most were long-range shots, seemingly taken during the invaders’ duels with Life Card Masters, captured from a distance and processed into high-definition photographs.
"It is, after all, an eighth-tier Promotion Tournament..."
Wang Ming wanted to give Shen Sui an easy path to curry favor with Miss Freymia behind Shen Sui, but the eighth-tier Life Card Master promotion battle record had to be documented and disclosed. Although this time it was to help the Exploration Bureau fight the invaders, they couldn’t allow Shen Sui to simply defeat two weaklings and permit him to advance.
"Alright." Shen Sui smiled, handing the photos to Qishala beside him, "I’ll take this task."
Wang Ming saw Shen Sui so straightforwardly accept and, for some reason, believed this guy would definitely succeed.
But he still reminded, "These people survived in the Apocalypse World, cunning and ruthless. Rather than giving you a chance to enforce a duel, they’d prefer to kill you before that. If you really plan to advance this way, it’s best to have Miss Freymia by your side. We both know her abilities."
In terms of Life Card Duels, Wang Ming wasn’t worried about Shen Sui having any issues.
But the most formidable aspect of the Extraordinary Invaders is on the level of Extraordinary Power. Even if their Parasite Beasts were weakened significantly by the rules of the real world, they still aren’t something ordinary humans can contend with.
"I understand."
Shen Sui was itching to get into a match right now.
The urge to dive in was hard to suppress.
"Speaking of which, isn’t Freymia also in a Promotion Tournament?" Since Freymia was mentioned, Shen Sui naturally asked, "Is it over at the Duel Hall?"
"Yes. Miss Freymia checked the box on her application agreeing to have her Promotion Duel broadcasted. The Exploration Bureau doesn’t have the equipment for that, so it’s being held at the Duel Experience Hall."
"Alright." Shen Sui stood up, "Then I’ll go find her there."
Just so happened, Shen Sui had just scanned Modu with his consciousness and noticed the guy who attacked Bu Pei at his doorstep, whom he had marked, seemed to be near the Duel Experience Hall.
He needed to find this guy before Freymia or Vivian took him out. Otherwise, who knows how long he’d have to spend finding another target?
These Apocalypse dwellers were very good at lying low.
