Chapter 1088: Chapter 611: Thunder! Open the Door!

"You mean, the point assessment standards for the Life Card Master ranking system have changed?"

Shen Sui had just returned home when Xinyuan Tanchun came to visit.

Although her main purpose was to find Isabella, she also brought the latest news to Shen Sui.

Watching Isabella, who was vying with Qishala over something not far away, Xinyuan Tanchun felt slightly disheartened about her own future.

Clearly her own Soul Card, yet possessing such strong opinions about someone else’s bedroom.

It’s important to know that nowadays Huaxia allows Soul Cards to operate in the real world within certain limits, but if your Soul Card causes any issues, you’re also responsible.

"You really don’t care at all." Xinyuan Tanchun couldn’t help but retort when she heard Shen Sui’s question, "Do you not even pay attention to the reform of the mechanism that you should be most concerned about?"

Shen Sui shrugged and replied, "You see, I haven’t been back to Modu for several days. When do I have time to care about this?"

Xinyuan Tanchun then explained the new point mechanism to Shen Sui in detail.

Actually, the reason for the mechanism reform is quite simple. As Extraordinary Powers start invading reality, the importance of Life Card Masters has rapidly increased.

Formerly regarded as entertainment industry workers or at most athletes, the Life Card Master profession suddenly shoulders the responsibility of maintaining peace in the real world, and considering their relationship with Soul Cards, they also have some capacity to seek external assistance (of course, it could also backfire).

With the change in Life Card Master functions, the original point assessment standards naturally became unsuitable.

Any mechanism and rules always fit the current environment, nothing is ahead of its time or behind.

All systems you see as if made by Transmigrators are merely evaluated by you based on the current environment, assuming they are advanced, while in fact, these systems might not fit the environment at all.

The new point system doesn’t bluntly slash all the points from professional matches, but under the new point mechanism, the proportion of professional matches is not high.

Nations hope Life Card Masters will invest more in Buffer Zone battles rather than degrading energy in matches.

But just like the military also has competitions, professional matches are still retained, and even Class A matches are given more emphasis. However, the function of these matches will gradually shift from purely entertaining the public to showcasing the Life Card Masters’ abilities to soothe audience emotions.

No matter how you slice it, if you solely rely on participating in matches to accumulate points, Shen Sui’s difficulty in advancing to a ninth-rank Life Card Master has multiplied several times compared to before.

The purpose of the system reform is to give Life Card Masters wanting to advance more motivation to actively participate in Buffer Zone battles.

Of course, such mechanism reform also demands rank welfare to keep pace, accompanying the point system reform is the modification in welfare adjustments, including a large number of subsidies and welfare for self-selecting Life Cards.

It’s unknown where the officials get so many Life Cards; this stuff is not like banknotes, which you can crank out with a high-speed printing press.

But this is not something Shen Sui needs to worry about.

It’s estimated that for a long time, the internet will be filled with all kinds of flame wars.

Because according to the new rank system, if you want to maintain your current rank, you must participate in a minimum of five Buffer Zone battles annually; if you fail to meet the requirement, the rank drops automatically.

The Buffer Zone is where the Life Card Masters and Soul Cards fight side by side.

This system is evidently quite unfair to Life Card Masters in ordinary Soul Card Worlds; they might not be lacking in dueling skills, but due to the weakness of their Soul Cards, they have no way of participating in Buffer Zone battles.

It’s a pity, no system is perfect.

In the current environment, to protect the peace of the real world, resources naturally incline towards those Life Card Masters able to hold their ground in the Buffer Zone, making these ordinary world Life Card Masters the sacrificial lambs of the new era.

Of course, some of them might soon see a turning point. Led by Qishala, the power of Magical Girls is spreading to these worlds, enhancing the ability to resist Broken Boundary Creatures in these ordinary worlds.

After hearing Xinyuan Tanchun’s description, Shen Sui pondered while stroking his chin: "So basically, I need to increase the frequency of my participation in Buffer Zone battles to accumulate points faster to advance to ninth-rank?"

"Higher-ranked Life Card Masters tend to be sent to more dangerous Buffer Zones. But I think you’ll be fine." Xinyuan Tanchun said to Shen Sui with a smile, "Considering the ability of your family’s Soul Card, I think the new system is actually more beneficial to you, speeding up your advancement to a ninth-rank Life Card Master."

Shen Sui couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Is my concern entering the Buffer Zone?

I’m damned worried about Alice entering the Buffer Zone!

"By the way, if you’re the one who finishes the opponent off, you’ll earn extra points." Xinyuan Tanchun continued.

Shen Sui nodded, he was quite satisfied with this. The only regret is that the current Buffer Zone doesn’t present much challenge to him.

No matter how strong the invaders’ power is, they’re ultimately no match for Shen Sui. And these current invaders evidently have no awareness of Life Card Duel preparation, so Shen Sui really has no desire for a duel with them.
