Moreover, due to the characteristics of magical girls, they wouldn’t cause too much upheaval to the lives of ordinary people, which ensures societal stability in various Soul Card Worlds during the initial phase.
"Magical girls are indeed the best choice," Qishala said. Actually, if there weren’t a Life Card Duel system in the real world, the most suitable for here would probably be the magical girl system; perhaps, there might even appear a batch of magical girls like Cardcaptor Sakura, who use cards to fight.
"Then let’s take the opportunity of testing the buffer zone to distribute the seeds of magical girls to these ordinary worlds," Vivian suddenly suggested.
Shen Sui heard Vivian’s words and asked with slight surprise, "Is it already completed?"
"Preliminarily completed," Vivian smiled. "What’s left is testing and patching any loopholes. The first batch of testing participants will be Life Card Masters from these ordinary worlds without extraordinary powers."
When Life Card Masters enter the buffer zone, the system will project their Soul Cards into the buffer space. This is indeed a good opportunity to distribute the seeds of magical girls.
Moreover, if Soul Cards turn into magical girls, it can also bring new benefits to these Life Card Masters.
However, everything has its pros and cons.
Before this, because ordinary Soul Card Worlds lacked extraordinary powers, these Life Card Masters weren’t on the list of personnel selected to enter the buffer zone.
However, as the seeds of magical girls are spread, extraordinary people will certainly appear in these worlds, making it impossible to avoid this draft by then.
"Isabella," Vivian seemed to recall something and smiled, looking at Isabella floating in the air, "can you join my second round of testing?"
"Testing?" Isabella blinked her cute eyes.
"At that time, your projection will be pulled into the Broken Boundary Space," Vivian tempted. "As for how you’ll seize this opportunity to bring yourself over, that’s up to your ability."
Originally hesitant, Isabella’s eyes widened suddenly, and she eagerly raised her hand, "I agree!"
"Um..." Xinyuan Tanchun raised her hand halfway and silently lowered it, murmuring softly, "I haven’t agreed yet..."
However, in front of Isabella, Xinyuan Tanchun generally had no say; she hesitated and pondered for a while, then quickly accepted Vivian’s invitation.
Then, Vivian roved her eyes over those present.
It seems Vivian hadn’t come out of her room merely because the noise in the hall drew her; finding suitable test personnel was one of her purposes too.
"Perhaps you could look for Freymia," Shen Sui, feeling apprehensive under Vivian’s gaze, chose to divert attention without hesitation.
Vivian smiled, "Freymia was the first to accept my invitation."
With that, she leaned close to Shen Sui: "Aren’t you planning to participate?"
Shen Sui’s mouth twitched, "Is it necessary for me to participate?"
"Come on, Alice should get to know the real you," Vivian directly countered Shen Sui’s words and established a definite tone.
Once that tone was set, Shen Sui couldn’t refute it no matter what he said.
Actually, showing his true self to Alice wasn’t impossible; he had many aliases in different worlds, and this wasn’t a secret to Alice.
But thinking about Alice’s unreliability, Shen Sui wondered if performing tasks with her might give him a heart attack.
"Mhm, let’s decide happily like this then," Vivian nodded, evidently thrilled with the good harvest of finding excellent test personnel this time, "I’ll go back to my room for a nap first."
She indeed was quite exhausted these past few days, having not slept for several days.
"Are you sure letting Alice participate in the testing?" Shen Sui emphasized again, "Her destructive power... might ruin your testing, you know?"
Vivian yawned, "Isn’t that better? If Alice can mess it up, it shows there’s a bug in my design. Finding bugs during testing is surely better than discovering them in actual combat, right? This is reality, not a game; if a bug appears, there’s no option to restart, only a dead end."
It seems quite reasonable.
Convinced, Shen Sui thought letting Alice participate in such matters wasn’t a bad thing. According to the buffer zone’s design logic, surely, several Life Card Masters from different Soul Card Worlds and their Soul Card projections would fight against extraordinary invaders.
Alice could take this opportunity to learn about other Soul Card Worlds’ power systems, which would be beneficial for her growth.
Thinking this way, Shen Sui opened the Dueling Device, intending to inform Alice of this matter.
Everyone else, meanwhile, had their own destinations.
Mitole was carefully making a vase, placing herself in the corner of the living room. The cute maid image made her a fine backdrop—except she was a bit short and easily got blocked.
Qishala took Xinyuan Tanchun to the kitchen to make afternoon desserts.
Xinyuan Tanchun was very interested in making desserts.
But Isabella had no interest at all; in contrast, she preferred staying around Shen Sui.
Qishala wouldn’t give Isabella such a chance, forcefully taking Isabella away.
Vivian sat down beside Shen Sui, yawning, and leaned her head against Shen Sui’s shoulder, ready to sleep.
"You can go back to your room to sleep," Shen Sui pushed Vivian’s drowsy shoulder a bit.
"I’ll just nap for a little..." Now, Vivian was a bit dazed.
Shen Sui smiled and no longer tried to awaken Vivian.
Evidently, Vivian’s energy had been almost depleted, now needing a good rest to replenish her sleep.
Because someone was leaning on his shoulder, Shen Sui operated the Dueling Device very carefully.
When Shen Sui opened the Dueling Device, Alice was following her temporary fleet on an expedition.
Originally, the shipgirls hadn’t intended to bring her, as the Commander was a very crucial role, and adventuring was completely unnecessary.
[Using discarded parts from the fleet, Alice created a makeshift set of Ship Armor for herself to convince Purple Sun and the others to allow her to come along.]
[Ding! You obtained an Equipment Spell Card: Makeshift Ship Armor]
Wait, what?
An opening strike indeed.
Shen Sui never expected Alice to have progressed to the point of crafting her own Ship Armor manually.
["Hehe, this way, I count as a shipgirl too, right? Can I come along now?" Alice said proudly with her hands on her waist.]
[Purple Sun, helplessly, said: "Don’t do this, Alice. Ship Armor isn’t just assembly; random parts patched together like this won’t let you fire."]
[Alice felt Purple Sun was questioning her crafting skills and immediately got defensive: "Why can’t it fire?"]
[Saying this, Alice raised the cannon barrel in her hand and fired a shot into the sky.]
[Discarded parts aren’t necessarily unusable.]
[But to patch so many different models of parts together without any errors allows this makeshift suit to function normal; it’s truly unbelievable.]
[Alice opened her mouth, just about to boast to Purple Sun about her creation...]
[Boom! A flash of fire appeared on the distant horizon, followed by a violent explosion sound.]
["It’s a detonation!" With rich experience, Man Yue promptly concluded.]
["It seems to be the direction the Commander just fired in..." Zhu Yue, who was on guard duty, silently added a remark.]
[Alice’s face immediately became awkward.]
["The Deep Sea! It must be the Deep Sea!" Alice forcibly argued.]
[This area was already quite far from Red Maple Fortress’s border; the presence of the Deep Sea seemed unlikely?]
[The other shipgirls hesitated slightly but still chose to believe their Commander’s words.]
The group hurriedly rushed to the scene.
["It indeed is the Deep Sea," Purple Moon concluded incredulously.]
[Why was there Deep Sea here in this sea area?]
