My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 452 - 386: Everything Except Fish Was Caught
But aside from Vivian, it seems no one else possesses such an independent godslaying ability.
On Shen Sui’s side, he was still lost in his wild thoughts, while Alice’s grand fishing venture was far from over.
[Alice fished up a wooden box from the lake.]
[Alice opened the wooden box and obtained a huge amount of ancient gold coins.]
[Alice fished up a magic guidebook from the lake.]
[Ding! You have obtained an equipment spell card: Anina’s New Moon Magic Guidebook]
[Alice opened the magic guidebook and acquired new magic.]
[Alice learned a spell.]
[Ding! You have obtained a spell card: Curse of the New Moon]
In the blink of an eye, a series of acquisition notifications floated past Shen Sui’s eyes.
A large haul of unexpected gains, yet there was no fish.
And, of course, there were no new Star Night Goddess-related items fished up either.
["Is it possible that there are simply no fish in this lake?" Alice looked at the pile of garbage next to her, her expression numb as she glanced at Isabella beside her.]
[Isabella, unsure how to comfort Alice, replied aligning with Alice’s sentiment, "Well, lakes in mines do sometimes have no fish."]
["I knew it!" Alice instantly regained her confidence, "I’ve been fishing for so long, and without any catch, it must not be my fault. Clearly, Claude remembered wrong. How could any fish live in this lousy place? With so much trash at the lake’s bottom and it being so cold..."]
[Before Alice could finish her sentence, she heard bubbles rising from the lake.]
[She looked towards the sound and saw a school of small black fish curiously popping up at the surface, blowing bubbles and watching Alice fish by the lakeside.]
["..."]
["Ahhhhh!!! I’m going to dry up this lake! I’m going to burn this damn lake dry!!!" Alice took out her magic staff, and fireballs burst forth from the top of her staff. In her extreme anger, Alice summoned a large number of fireballs without even chanting the spell.]
["Don’t lose your head! The mine will collapse!" Isabella warned.
[Alice was momentarily stunned but remained indignant, pointing at the fish in the lake, "But they’re mocking me! They must be mocking me!"]
["Now that you know there are fish, why not try again?" Isabella suggested, "At least the target is clear now, right?"]
[Alice thought Isabella’s words made a lot of sense; she didn’t care about any Underground Fish King anymore.]
[Her goal was singular: she must catch at least one fish from this lake!]
[Alice threw her hook in.]
[Ding! You have obtained an equipment spell card: Broken Amplification Ring]
[Ding! You have obtained an equipment spell card: Worn Mage Robe]
....
Shen Sui looked at the duel device spitting out a long string of trash equipment spell cards and didn’t know what to say.
He had never thought it was possible to farm so many equipment spell cards.
Of course, he also never thought such garbage equipment spell cards actually existed in this world.
You see, the items of the Star Night Goddess, although they’ve lost their effects due to damage, are still 15 stars and could be sold to others as collectibles. But these 1-star and 2-star equipment spell cards have no effect at all. If I extract them, I can’t even recover the cost of a blank card, for God’s sake!
For the first time since Shen Sui crossed over, he felt that the method of acquiring Life Cards through the duel device was very unreasonable.
If the card library is filled with trash, it will make him extremely uncomfortable.
Just while Shen Sui was troubled about how to deal with those broken equipment, Alice on the Dawn Continent was already on the verge of collapse.
She held her head in her hands, her eyes vacant, almost despairing of the entire world.
"Why don’t we go out first?" Isabella suggested to let Alice take a break, fearing the girl might have a mental breakdown from not catching any fish, "We’ve already gathered quite a lot today, haven’t we?"
By this time, a whole day had passed since the two of them went into the mine.
As a vampire, Isabella was naturally a nocturnal creature and was full of energy at this moment.
As an eighth-level mage, Alice’s immense power also allowed her body to resist some of the fatigue, but the frustration of not catching fish still left her a bit weary and haggard.
"This mine isn’t going anywhere. We can rest, come back after recalibration, and try again. There’s no rush to leave, is there?" Isabella said with extraordinary gentleness, a warmth from which Xinyuan Tanchun had never benefited.
This poor Life Card Master had been gagged by Isabella since Alice appeared, still in sealed mode, completely unaware of what Isabella was up to.
Luckily for Xinyuan Tanchun, she was used to it by now, as this awe-inspiring True Ancestor of Vampires had a few days every now and then to gag her.
Alice took a deep breath. She had an optimistic personality, but seeing a day’s effort turn into trash was unacceptable for anyone.
After a brief adjustment, Alice finally steadied her mindset.
"Today didn’t feel right. I’ll fight again tomorrow!" Alice encouraged herself.
But this was already the second day...
The mine was dim, and Alice wasn’t aware of the passing time outside, yet Isabella, being a creature of the night, had a keen intuitive sense for time.
