Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

Chapter 116 A New Form (4K)

Things always take time, one step at a time.

He Kan's incident did not affect the holding of the internal competition.

After all, for the academy, the upcoming Rookie Cup is more important than a student's grades.

After briefly explaining the details of the competition, Thirteen Princess turned and left.

She didn't mention anything about the Lord of the Abandoned Sword, seemingly still struggling with something, and Shen Yi couldn't force her to do so.

However, Shen Yi believed that Thirteen Princess would eventually make up her mind.

After saying goodbye to Jiushiji, Shen Yi returned to his dormitory.

Qianxun stayed at the hospital to accompany He Kan, but she promised to be there on time whenever Shen Yi summoned her.

Given He Kan's current condition, he definitely won't be able to make it to the next match.

So, as his girlfriend, she continued the competition.

Moreover, she also learned from Shen Yi that He Kan's consciousness might be trapped in another place, and by staying by Shen Yi's side, she could get the latest information as soon as possible.

Back in his dorm, Shen Yi finally had time to sit down and properly organize the information and gains he had made during this period.

Since defeating Gu Yu the night before last, one thing after another has happened.

First, she completed the preliminary selection and won a spot in the internal competition finals. Then, the following year, she learned that Zihe had withdrawn from the competition and disappeared. That night, she took the invitation from Jiji and entered the Starlight Theater.

After defeating the controlled He Kan and rescuing Qianxun from the Starlight Theater, Vera used an outrageous fireball spell to blast the Starlight Theater, seemingly also seriously injuring the Lord of the Stars.

Then came Lulu's arrival and her release as a physical card.

Finally, in the early morning, he found Pei Minghong and had a duel with him, successfully defeating him and shattering the Lord of Stars.

So many things have happened to me in less than three days.

At the time, I didn't feel much because of the duel, but afterwards I felt exhausted.

Of course, this fatigue may not necessarily be due to having too much to do; it could simply be because I didn't sleep last night.

However, this exhaustion is well worth it.

Kashu and the Star Lord's cards were shattered, and their power was absorbed by Vera, successfully granting her two new forms: [Scratched Doll Vera] and [Star Doll Vera].

These two forms inherit some of the abilities of Kashu and Star Lord. The only problem is that Vera's appearance in these two forms may remind people of Kashu and Star Lord, so there may be some concerns about using her in official matches.

But for Shen Yi, this is undoubtedly a significant boost.

The only problem is that the conditions for switching between these two forms are not as favorable as those for Vera's other forms.

In contrast, the conditions for Vera's new cosplay form, which is unlocked with five million points, are much simpler.

It was quite a coincidence.

Vera has obtained the form of the God Card, and this new form of Vera that has been unlocked this time also seems to have something to do with the gods.

Looking at Vera, who is cosplaying as the goddess of the underworld in the new form of the card, Shen Yi stroked his chin and pondered.

Of course, Vera can unlock more than just the God of the Underworld form; she also has other forms similar to [Wind Spirit Medium Vera], such as the Witchcraft series.

The unlocking of new forms naturally brings new possibilities for duels, and Shen Yi also needs to equip some spell cards for this new possibility.

However, before that, he felt it was best to fulfill the terms of the contract first.

He hadn't forgotten that he also needed to customize a batch of spell cards for Princess Kuju.

If it weren't for the funds provided by Jiuganji, it's hard to say whether Shen Yi could have won these two duels against the God Card.

With this in mind, Shen Yi quickly instructed Vera to continue ordering the special materials online.

However, such high-quality materials are always hard to come by, and even fewer can be found on shopping platforms.

Seeing that there was no news about the special materials for the time being, Shen Yi simply started to draft a plan based on the deck of the Nine-Tailed Princess.

Shen Yi had personally witnessed the ultimate form of the Blade series, the Blade Master, and gained a deeper understanding of the Blade series.

Blade followers emphasize the idea that "a blade has two sides," and they frequently manipulate control.

Therefore, the new spell cards will naturally revolve around control.

First, print a spell card that returns all minions to their owner's field, allowing you to deploy them on the opponent's field, and then restart the attack with a single click to begin the kill.

While Shen Yi was designing the cards, he didn't neglect other things either.

Based on the information provided by Thirteen Princess, Shen Yi had Vera contact Nia.

Because the Gu family was busy saving themselves, the pressure on Nia's side was instantly reduced. When Vera contacted her, the girl was very happy to tell Vera that her legion had recently collected a batch of golem remains, which could be sent to Vera as special materials.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's eyes lit up.

This happened when someone handed me a pillow just as I was about to go to sleep.

We're currently lacking special materials.

While the majority of the golem's remains should only contain basic numerical attributes, you might be able to find top-tier attribute materials from the damaged golem core.

In her excitement, Vera also mentioned that the next batch of weapons aid was ready.

Thirteen Princess was very efficient. Shortly after Shen Yi made this request to her, Ninety Princess received a new batch of funding from the family, which naturally included several warehouses and a full warehouse of stocked equipment.

At this time, these equipment have been delivered to the Elf World and are being modified by the little elves to better suit the Elf World's style. Soon, they will be delivered to Nia by Vera.

After discussing these topics, Shen Yi finally got to the issue that concerned him the most.

"Do you have any way to contact the Knights of Hanno?" Shen Yi asked.

"The Knights of Hanon?"

At this moment, Nia exists as a small projection figure in Vera's palm, thanks to Vera's projection prop.

She wore heavy armor and a cloak, which concealed as much as possible the physical characteristics of her body that had been altered by merging with the golem.

Nia was in a very good mood and was sitting cross-legged at the moment.

Upon hearing Shen Yi's question, Nia pondered for a moment and replied, "We don't have a direct connection; they've just been helping us quietly behind the scenes."

Nia's words left Shen Yi slightly disappointed.

"Is something the matter?" Nia asked, noticing the change in Shen Yi's expression.

She knew that Shen Yi was from the Starry World, the same world as the Knights of Hanno.

Of course, they also come from the same world as the legion that invaded the Golem World.

Shen Yi said, "I have a troublesome matter that I'd like you to ask them for help with."

Nia thought for a moment and said to Shen Yi, "I can try leaving them a message. If you don't mind revealing some of your information, sir—"

Shen Yi and Vera saved her life, and even saved the entire Golem World.

Without Shen Yi's weapons assistance, she wouldn't have survived the first week at all.

Therefore, Nia believed that Shen Yi would not do anything detrimental to the Knights of Hanno, who had also helped her.

But the Knights of Hanoi were also her benefactors, and she wouldn't demand their unconditional help, so she could only offer this suggestion.

She left a message for the Knights of Hanno and left some information about Shen Yi in the Starry World.

If the other party is willing to contact Shen Yi, they can then contact Shen Yi based on the information in the message.

If she didn't want to, there was nothing Nia could do.

This was the best solution Nia could think of.

Shen Yi thought about it and realized that this was the only option left.

On his way back, he also used Vera's access to conduct an investigation on the Starry World's network.

The hackers capable of decrypting that encrypted file are either in the Knights of Hanno or in the factories of various powerful families.

The latter was of course out of the question, and he wouldn't dare risk being exposed by seeking help from the other party.

Of course, he actually had another method: the prison series.

Some powerful hackers who are caught and imprisoned in private jails may end up being turned into shill cards and rented out.

However, the prison authorities must have taken corresponding restrictive measures to prevent these dangerous individuals from returning to their old ways, so Shen Yi did not have high hopes for them and only regarded it as a last resort when there were no other options.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, it seemed that someone was looking for Nia on the other end, so Nia quickly ended the communication.

That evening, Shen Yi received the draw results for the upcoming knockout stage.

Somewhat surprisingly, although He Kan could no longer participate, the academy did not seem to intend to cancel his results. Instead of having the ninth-ranked player advance, he was given a bye.

After learning a little about it, Shen Yi could understand the academy's approach.

In the world of Starshine, the strong are entitled to privileges.

The victor of a duel should rightfully receive what he desires.

He Kan earned his spot in the quarterfinals through his performance in the preliminary rounds. Even if he was unable to participate due to an accident, that is not a reason for the academy to strip him of his quarterfinals spot.

On the other hand, in the minds of Xingyao people, this kind of lottery bye has nothing to do with fairness.

Being able to win means you're lucky.

Good luck is awesome!

This idea, similar to why most professional tournaments in Star World adopt the BO01 format, is a derivative concept based on the fact that playing cards has become the dominant rule in the world.

In card games, the decision to go first, the lucky draw at crucial moments, and even card effects with gambling elements are all closely related to luck.

Therefore, in the Starry World, being lucky is awesome; there's no logic to it.

This directly led to Shen Yi winning the grand prize; he drew this lucky spot.

This means that Shen Yi advanced to the semifinals with a bye.

Considering that Shen Yi's luck has been consistently low, it's reasonable to assume that this stroke of luck is related to Vera.

As Lulus was leaving, she joked, "My sister's luck is as good as ever; she actually managed to meet a man with a constitution like my brother-in-law."

Of course, this is not without its costs.

During the semifinals, Shen Yi, who receives a bye, will be automatically considered to have the second move.

This wasn't a big deal for Shen Yi, since he would probably use up all the luck he had gained from Gu Yu and Pei Minghong, and would most likely be judged to have the second move during the competition.

Vera's advantage was ultimately a matter of luck, not a necessary cause and effect.

Nia worked quickly, and by the third day she had finished cleaning up the golem remains.

Vera put the modified unmanned equipment from the Elf World into her stomach and then went to the Golem World.

As evening fell, Vera returned to the elven world with a belly full of golem remains.

Splash!

The golem's remains quickly piled up into a small mountain in front of Shen Yi.

Looking up at the towering pile of wreckage, Shen Yi sighed inwardly: My Vera's belly can really hold a lot! No wonder there's no sign of it overflowing no matter how many times she comes.

At the same time, Shen Yi was also amazed by the brutality of the war in the Golem World.

These golem remains came from at least dozens of golem golems, which were giants as big as mountains. In just over a month, so many of them have been destroyed.

"Nia has already established a base there!" Vera excitedly told Shen Yi about her experiences in the Golem World.

Even just from her expression, it was clear that Nia was doing very well.

"Speaking of which, this is also thanks to you, Yi!" Vera said proudly. "If Yi hadn't defeated Gu Yu and plunged the Gu family into chaos, Nia wouldn't be able to have such a relaxed situation now."

Shen Yi smiled, showing no sign of pride, and instead began sorting through the puppet remains with Vera and the little elves.

The numerical characteristic materials were sent to Kujuhime as payment for the purchase of unmanned equipment, just like before, so that Kujuhime could balance her accounts.

The remaining characteristic materials are then classified according to their degree of tropism.

Shen Yi was lucky; he found several special characteristic materials and retrieval characteristic materials with high directional properties.

"These materials with special properties will be sent to a specialized testing company for analysis to determine their potential," Shen Yi said, pointing to the materials with special properties on the ground.

These materials were all extracted from the broken core of the puppet.

Now that Shen Yi has money, he can afford the relevant testing fees.

It's a pity that the equipment that can analyze the properties of special materials is too expensive. Otherwise, Shen Yi would have liked to buy the equipment and put it in the Pokémon world to reduce the risk of exposure.

"Oh, right."

After doing all that, Vera remembered that there was still one most important thing.

"Nia said she has left a message for the Knights of Hanno as you instructed, and they should contact us soon if they see the message you left."

Shen Yi left a mailing address.

Of course, this is definitely not Shen Yi's real address, but a virtual address generated by Vera using the robot's permissions. No matter how skilled the hacker is, they won't be able to find Shen Yi through this address.

"Understood," Shen Yi nodded.

While he was speaking, he was still browsing the rental platforms on the official websites of various prisons.

The fact that the Knights of Hanoi have remained active until now suggests they are very vigilant and might not necessarily contact us.

Therefore, he needs to be prepared for the other party to stop contacting him.

We definitely need to find a way to crack that encrypted file.

If all else fails, we can rent a top-tier hacker who's been imprisoned to give it a try.
