Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

Shen Yi knew that Ilovena was always concerned about her mother's whereabouts.

This down-on-her-luck elf princess was very understanding. Seeing that Shen Yi was busy with other things, she didn't bother him with this matter.

Shen Yi had actually been keeping an eye out for relevant news for Ilovina.

However, Starry World has no interest in a world where there is no profit to be made.

Just as most third-world countries in the previous life could not appear in online discussions, there are very few discussions about the Elf World in the Starry World.

The last time someone occasionally discussed this was when a duelist encountered a beautiful elven maid while on vacation in another world and bragged about it online.

If you browse the internet more, you'll find that even the most perfect companion robot cannot satisfy all human desires.

Because within this desire lies not only the instinct for procreation but also the desire for conquest.

Companion robots are certainly useful, but their pre-programmed routines simply cannot satisfy some people's desire for conquest.

Once these people arrive in the Soul Card world and have the means to rely on force, they often vent their desire for conquest on the natives of the Soul Card world.

It was precisely because they couldn't find any relevant information before that Shen Yi noticed Pei Mingyuan's name immediately when it appeared on the list.

Pei Mingyuan was the previous contractor in the Elf World, and also the employer of Ilovena's mother.

If anyone should know the whereabouts of Ilovena's mother, it is undoubtedly him.

Ilovena also tried to find this person.

But according to the information gathered by Ilovena and Vera, Pei Mingyuan should have disappeared with her mother.

Why is he on Yingluo's list?

Shen Yi looked at Vera.

Vera had already understood and contacted Yingluo through the mark.

Yingluo has an excellent memory and clearly remembers the entire process of recruiting Pei Mingyuan.

Pei Mingyuan became a contractor in the Elf World with the intention of finding a bargain.

On one hand, he coveted the beauty of Ilovena's mother, and on the other hand, he wanted to see what other value could be extracted from the elven world.

This person himself is not a strong duelist; he is almost at the bottom of the league rankings.

Although he has a family background, such achievements certainly won't get him any support from the Pei family.

This was already the best contractor that the elven world could find at the time.

The reason Pei Mingyuan was recruited by Yingluo to become a Dark Duelist was very simple: he was going to be "laid off".

It is said that the Pei family suffered a setback in the Soul Card World, which led to a sharp decline in profit margins. As a result, they began to reclaim cards from the family's deck from its members based on their dueling strength and potential.

Duelists like Pei Mingyuan almost exclusively draw their cards from their family's deck.

The card being taken back means he can no longer be a duelist. Adhering to the principle of not wasting family resources, his only fate is to become a follower card and enter the family's deck.

This is what those family duelists call "layoffs".

This is no longer the chaotic era when duels were just beginning to gain momentum.

After it was discovered that excessive consumption of luck through card printing could lead to a decline in the collective fortune of humanity and thus trigger various disasters, the practice of investing a massive amount of luck to gamble on a powerful card was gradually abolished.

After all, capitalists invest resources in printing cards to win duels and seize more profits, but printing cards that destroy humanity is clearly not in their interest.

After that, the practice of investing massive resources in printing single cards was suspended by the tacit agreement of the major families. After the executive agency was established, an upper limit on the fortune of single card printing was set.

The various powerful cards that appeared later were basically produced by the card maker with great luck and low investment.

However, many of the powerful cards produced under these lucky circumstances, along with the powerful cards developed during the early days of the game, were acquired by various clans and entered their decks.

Nowadays, the major leagues in the Starry World are essentially chaotic battles between the decks of various families. Without the support of family decks, it would be tantamount to a death sentence for mediocre duelists like Pei Mingyuan.

No wonder he accepted Yingluo's recruitment to become the Dark Duelist of the Demon God Kashu.

Since then, Pei Mingyuan has disappeared, presumably becoming a shadow duelist who hunts down other duelists in the dark.

But one thing surprised Shen Yi.

According to Yingluo's description, Pei Mingyuan did not have a soul card when she recruited him.

In other words, Ilovena's mother was no longer with Pei Mingyuan.

The contract was terminated?

impossible.

If Ilovina's mother initiated the termination of the contract, Ilovina should have known, and she shouldn't have disappeared without a trace.

Upon hearing the information Yingluo provided, countless possibilities flashed through Shen Yi's mind.

But without supporting evidence, all speculation is nothing but castles in the air.

To find out the whereabouts of Ilovina's mother, we need to find Pei Mingyuan.

Unfortunately, Yingluo was only in charge of recruitment; although she knew the list, she was unaware of the whereabouts of all the Dark Duelists.

She only provided Shen Yi with a few duelists whose whereabouts she knew for certain.

"You can find Pei Mingyuan's whereabouts by looking at them. To avoid internal conflict, they should be connected. Generally, there is only one Dark Duelist in an area," Yingluo said.

So, in the following days, Shen Yi spent his days challenging others in the academy's tower, completing the remaining duels, and his nights wandering around Yuezhou City, searching for those dark duelists.

These dark duelists are not hard to find.

They roamed in the shadows, specifically targeting lone duelists. Shen Yi effortlessly lured out three dark duelists.

The result was self-evident.

With Vera and Nangong Ai's perfect teamwork, all the duelists who were struggling in the lower leagues and even abandoned by their own families were defeated by Shen Yi.

But Shen Yi soon discovered an embarrassing situation:

Before they actually lost, all the duelists believed they still had the ability to turn the tide with a lucky draw, so they were all incredibly stubborn and even made all sorts of boasts.

Once they were truly defeated, they quickly perished in a lower dimension, leaving no time to gather intelligence.

So, after several duels, Shen Yi killed several dark duelists, but he didn't get any useful information.

"How about... we arrest him and torture him?"

Vera couldn't stand it anymore.

"Nonsense! How can arresting and torturing me prove I'm a duelist?"

At this point, Shen Yi felt even more indignant.

"Damn it, what happened to the villain being talkative?"

As he spoke, Shen Yi suddenly thought of something and then asked Vera to contact Jiji.

"Hey, Little Ninety!" he chuckled. "Do you have any cards that can heal enemies? Can I borrow one?"

"What do you mean I'm researching some kind of strategy again?"

"I just didn't want my opponent to die so quickly."
