["The collection is going smoothly, Claude!" Alice said happily.]

Shen Sui squinted his eyes.

Alice, you've learned some bad habits.

You've started lying.

I've seen the records. You hardly collected any materials along the way.

[You expressed your doubt.]

[Alice took out her ring.]

[You examined the ring and suddenly discovered that Alice had completed collecting seven of the nine types of materials you asked her to gather.]

???

What's going on? I didn't see her collecting anything either?

Along the way, wasn't she busy with the resistance movement stuff? Oh...

Seems she wasn't busy after all. After randomly choosing someone named Raymond on the Golden Ship to be the leader of the resistance, Alice pretty much just relaxed, with her only role being a mascot of sorts.

["These were all collected by them for me." Alice took the materials out of her ring, "This is the Tier 3 Screaming Flower that Fleg and his team picked for me from the Desperate Cliff. This is the Holy Tri-Color Crystal that Kaveh found when he broke into the Thunder Church in Rey City. Oh, and I also set fire to that church..."]

You seem pretty proud of that, don't you?

Shen Sui spoke speechlessly.

[Alice could vividly recall how she obtained each material, could clearly recount the names of the warriors who gifted her the materials and their stories.]

["I never expected they would actually help me find them all." Alice said cheerfully, her breath visible in the cold air, "They are truly a lovely bunch."]

["I didn't expect you to be so popular, Alice." You said with relief.]

[Alice shook her head, hugging Vivian's Holy Authority Staff, and said very seriously, "No, Claude."]

Is that so?

["The popular one was never Hozerville." Alice raised her finger and stated with certainty, "It was Yimiti, it was Twilight."]

[Even if the Church of Gods conspired to erase those events of the past forever, some people who were oppressed by the Gods still passed down the story of Twilight by word of mouth.]

[The one who hated Twilight the most was the Master of Thunder.]

[The one who most hated the Master of Thunder was South Roland.]

[In their legends, there may no longer be the names of Vivian and Claude, but what remained unchanged was the admiration for Twilight.]

[When the blazing sun of the Gods burned the land.]

[Twilight would stride forward with the harvest.]

[Alice liked this feeling of being embraced by all.]

[Yet her mind remained ever clear.]

[Assisted by the Eyes of Truth, she had the ability to see the essence of things.]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Clear Perception]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Legend of Twilight]

[At this moment, the Twilight Legion had already broken through Passat Port, and Alice planned to bid them farewell and head to her next destination.]

[Lingyi was still waiting for her to find assistance for treatment.]

[Of course, before finding a boat to Dragon Island, there was another important task Alice had to complete—she had to look for the next material you needed.]

[Smiling Ray Fish.]

[Alice was full of confidence.]

[Alice was cursed by the Air Marines.]

[Alice decided to bring out the Epic Fishing Rod.]

[Alice deployed the Golden Ship.]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Epic Fishing]

No...

Seeing this scene, Shen Sui struggled to hold back his laughter.

No, you're really just going to keep using the horse for fishing?

[The Golden Ship used fishing.]

[The Golden Ship's luck was once again proven.]

[Unfortunately, it seemed to have bad luck today.]

[It did not catch a Smiling Ray Fish.]

[Ding! You obtained a Follower Card: Death-eyed Fish]

Looking at this ten-star Follower Card in the Life Card Slot, Shen Sui fell into a brief silence.

You call this bad luck???

The Smiling Ray Fish is just about a Tier 5 Sea Magical Beast.

You damn well fished up a Tier 10 one directly.

Can you really handle this?

Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Sui saw Alice and her group in trouble.

[Death-eyed Fish damaged Alice's boat.]

[Alice instinctively used arson on it.]

No, are you sure you want to use arson in the sea?

[The flames ignited the ship and successfully expelled the Death-eyed Fish.]

[Standing on the shattered planks, Alice helplessly said to Anna beside her, "We should switch to a bigger ship."]

[Anna held Alice tightly, murmuring softly her opinion, appearing a bit seasick.]

[The Golden Ship snorted, standing steadily on another burning piece of wood. After the baptism by the Natural Holy Tree, it had almost reached Alice's strength level.]

Alice, you ought to feel ashamed!

A horse advances faster than you do!

[Suddenly! It seems something underwater grabbed the tail of the Golden Ship.]

[A head surfaced.]

[It was a mermaid.]

Sea Race?

Shen Sui immediately thought of this.

Qishala seemed to have recently cleared out the nearby Sea Race.

In the game, Sea Race is a pretty broad term.

Basically, any creature in the sea could be termed as Sea Race.

The vast majority of the Sea Race are mindless powerful fish and whale types, but one type is an exception.

Merfolk.

Of course, regarding merfolk, for card players, the first thing that often comes to mind is Pearl Tears or something like that.

Shen Sui thought this way, too.

He had long planned to do some alternate art processing to his Fish King Cards, wanting to make a few Mermaid Cards, which seemed reasonable.

If it weren't for the fact that Qishala cleared out the Sea Race without him ever mentioning the above idea, Shen Sui would suspect that Qishala acted against the Sea Race just to help him get some Mermaid Cards.

Just as Shen Sui was thinking this, something else happened on Alice's side.

[This mermaid was named Xia Lulu.]

[She was the sister of the Sea Princess Meria.]

[Alice warmly welcomed the pitiful mermaid.]

[She prepared a lavish all-fish feast for Xia Lulu.]

["Come, come! Eat more fish!" Alice warmly invited.]

["Um... um..." Xia Lulu waved her hands in panic, tears streaming down her face, "I'm also a fish..."]

["Ahem! Ahem ahem!" Alice finally realized her faux pas and quickly stopped, changing the topic, "So, how did you end up here? Shouldn't the Sea Race be in the deep sea?"]

["I escaped to seek help."]

["Seek help?"]

["Yes, yes! An evil giant dragon destroyed our home!"]

["In the legends of the Sea Race, when they face a crisis of destruction, a hero will appear on the shore."]
