My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 562 - 423: The Card Sent by Lin Ke’Er (6K)

******

Indeed, the effect was just as Shen Sui had anticipated.

The effect of this Equipment Spell Card was already strong enough, but in order to lay the groundwork for any possible upcoming series decks, Shen Sui added one more line before the effect: The stacking materials of the Follower cards equipped are considered as [Treasure] Followers.

The reason Shen Sui named this Magic Guidebook as the [Treasure Card Magic Guidebook] was mainly because there are Treasure-type Life Cards in this world, and occasionally, one can ride on the tails of the characters. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The so-called [Treasure] type Followers were preparation for a series of cards that Alice might brush up later.

The Northern Snow Realm is vast. Starting from the Thousand-Year Mine, Alice set out along the mountain range towards the White Mountain Ridge.

Meanwhile, nothing happened on the Dawn Continent, but World No. 8 had already begun undergoing significant changes.

With Martina’s Squid Legion’s entry, these big guys, who had no natural enemies in the sea of World No. 8, began to run amok, expanding a vast territory from Alice’s domain outward.

In a world where oceans dominate the landscape, possessing a secure maritime domain gives Alice a considerable advantage against enemies from other territories.

Even without the maritime advantage, the mere tranquility of the sea adjacent to Alice’s territory gave her great influence in this world.

After Alice dispatched ships to transport the refugee craftsmen to her territory, increasing numbers of people began heading towards Alice’s domain from afar.

During this period, Alice wasn’t causing trouble and was merely exploring the mysteries of this world, occasionally acting as a transporter when receiving supplies sent by Isabella.

The messengers of the Dawn Continent are truly remarkable. Even as Alice ventured deep into the Northern Snow Realm, they could reliably deliver Isabella’s supplies through Storage Rings to Alice’s hand.

In fact, on the Dawn Continent, Storage Rings are considered very rare magical items. Most factions can’t use such extravagant means to deliver every shipment. They only opt for such methods during the most critical and urgent moments.

But Alice was different; she inherited the assets Shen Sui left on the Dawn Continent.

Though she couldn’t acquire Supreme-level Storage Rings, ordinary rings could be easily acquired later in the game. Alice had opened so many treasure boxes that she had accumulated quite a number of rings.

She was initially considering selling them, but now they unexpectedly came in handy.

However, the squids’ expansions finally encountered obstacles.

As the source of the entire world’s Extraordinary Power, the ocean of World No. 8 was bound to house terrifyingly strong creatures.

The Master of the Deep Sea soon collided with a massive whale-like creature at the edge of the shallow sea, and their fight even triggered a tsunami.

If this battle hadn’t occurred near a continent already devastated by the Black Tide, the tsunami alone could have obliterated the last remnants of human civilization in World No. 8.

The struggle ended without any decisive winner, nor did either side gain any advantage. Both withdrew with severe injuries.

With Martina’s remote healing, the Master of the Deep Sea quickly began to recover. Yet considering the uncertain conditions of the other deep-sea regions, Martina feared any mishap might occur to the squids she painstakingly captured and temporarily halted their expansions without clearer information.

Even so, the squids had already expanded a vast and secure sea territory for Alice.

Coincidentally, at this time, several territories neighboring Alice, observing her burgeoning development, began harboring sinister intentions.

Although they were all part of the same family previously, they relied on being nominally Alice’s elder siblings, expressed through her Candlelight Phantom’s body, to make numerous unreasonable demands.

Alice could bow or stand tall, but only when facing strong opponents.

She had no patience for provocations from the weak.

How dare you coastal lords make noise with me?

Alice was just annoyed by the boredom of the journey to White Mountain Ridge. She began scheming in her dreams at night.

Since they were kin, acting first could result in a significant loss of reputation. Alice understood this principle and thus employed a strategy that Shen Sui recognized very well.

She made various unreasonable demands to her surrounding "brothers," sometimes pretending to be poor and wanting them to provide food and supplies, then deploying powerful Snowfield Warriors to the boundary of the territories with a stance that suggested imminent invasion, yet never actually making a move, instead merely bluffing and retreating.

Even the neighboring lords were annoyed, not to mention Shen Sui.

Until Shen Sui witnessed the Life Card Alice had brushed up:

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Extreme Pressure]

Goodness, self-taught indeed.

Alice had a lot of fun until one side couldn’t stand it any longer. Relying on their direct lineage and strong guard, they launched an attack on Alice.
