A week later, in the city of Tongye, a duel venue.
"My turn!"
You Yu drew a card from the deck and swept his arm.
"I will sacrifice the elemental hero Electric Light, the elemental hero Nendoroid... Come out! The elemental hero Golden Blade!"
A solid gold alloy warrior appeared from the three-dimensional projected card. He has green eyes, and his body is structured like steel muscle tissue, reflecting a unique metallic luster under the lighting of the stadium.
[Elemental hero, Golden Blade, attack power 2600]
The passerby duelist in front of You Yu: "What... what!? It's actually a monster with an attack power of 2600?"
The passers-by Yi Bingding who were watching were also in a commotion: "A card with a higher attack power than the legendary rare card, the red-eyed black dragon and the black magician!"
You Yu: "..."
The standard for judging the strength of the card by the duelists in this world is also very interesting. In the eyes of players, the most important monster effects are basically dispensable in the eyes of local NPCs, and even magic traps are not very popular.
Basically what they valued was the monster's attack power.
And to be honest, the card pool in the era of Yu-Gi-Oh DM was really not that deep, and the mortal blue-eyed white dragon with an attack power of 3000 was already a monster that many duelists could not reach.
However, from the player's point of view, the attacking horses are just drizzle. Known as the "highest attack power of dueling monsters", the Five Emperor Dragons with a panel attack power of up to 5000, in the eyes of players, are just "a trash fish that can't even be regarded as a wall".
Of course, You Yu, who is still in a serious shortage of cards, is not qualified to say that for the time being...
However, it is not difficult to defeat these nameless passerby NPCs.
"Battle!" You Yu directly entered the battle stage, "Elemental hero, Golden Blade, attack the 'captain who cut into the enemy's formation'!"
[The captain who cut into the enemy line, attack power 1200]
The back of the golden metal hero spurted out the engine flames, turning into a golden afterimage and swooping in front of the warrior holding the long sword.
The captain who cut into the enemy line gritted his teeth and raised his sword to try to defend, but his strength was almost negligible in front of the superior monster, the Golden Blade.
The golden blade easily cut the silver-white sword in the captain's hand into two pieces, and the latter groaned miserably and took the lunch on the spot.
Passerby A: "Uh ah ah!!!"
[Passerby A, LP 1400→LP 0]
The surrounding crowd began to burst into cheers.
"Elemental Heroes... A deck I've never heard of, so strong!"
"What is the origin of this rookie duelist?"
"In this way, he has already killed twenty people in one breath, right?"
"It's too strong, it should be professional level..."
Yes, this week, You Yu spent all his free time outside of work in this dueling hall, dueling with all kinds of duelists in the hall.
As we all know, Tongye Shishi is basically a duel-based city in Yu-Gi-Oh. Thanks to the vigorous promotion of President Haima, people in half the city have brought him a "dueling brain".
Because of this, a large number of dueling venues have been built in this city. Duelists can go to any venue to play cards and duels with duelists in the same city. Sometimes there will be some small competitions held privately in the venue, and if you win, you can earn a little extra money.
But that is secondary to Yu Yu.
He comes here to play cards every day, rain or shine, mainly for the sake of gaining experience and upgrading quickly, so as to earn more spar to exchange for the desired card in the system card pool...
The early stage of the creation is the easiest to upgrade. Although the spar can be obtained per level in the later stage, it is also pitiful, but at least it is faster.
These days, You Yu has already won a 20-game winning streak... The reason why he has only a 20-game winning streak is because he has to work part-time every day and he doesn't have much leisure time, and second, because of his physical strength, he can continuously duel. Sessions are also limited.
Brushing NPCs in the dueling hall is one of the most commonly used upgrade methods for players in the early days. Because the monsters in the local duelists' decks are basically all mortal bones, and the magic trap also likes to add a bunch of things that look handsome but have unclear actual meaning, most of which are completely useless decks.
For players, these NPCs can be slaughtered at will, even with a purely entertainment deck that is not used for high-level purposes.
So after playing for such a week, although You Yu's image in the eyes of passers-by has grown to the point where he is close to the God of War, he does not have much sense of accomplishment.
What sense of accomplishment does it feel to bully a simple human
… Well, maybe except for President Haima.
Judging from the Yu-Gi-Oh! DM animation, Mr. Kaima Seto, because he can never beat the dark game, is fond of developing artificial intelligence that imitates the dark game to accompany him to play cards, so he won the title of "King of Human-Machine". …
You Yu played this week's cards, and all the crystals he saved were thrown into the system card pool. However, most of the cards that were drawn out of the pack were either of unknown significance, or they looked awesome, but they couldn't. Throw in actual combat.
Only this elemental hero with an attack power of 2600, the Golden Blade, is barely considered a monster in this era (the era when even the Golden Blade was a monster seems to be very simple now), other cards are basically at this stage. Can only lie in the kakuli and eat ashes.
This duel is over, and today's physical strength is almost exhausted.
You Yu put away the duel plate, left the venue and returned to his current dormitory.
It was getting dark by now, and the street outside was chilly. Pedestrians roamed the streets in twos and threes, vehicles hurried across the road, and the taillights left a striking light path in the air.
When You Yu returned to the door of the store, the maid was standing at the door of the store, trying to put up a poster on tiptoe.
But she's too... a little too small, and it looks like she won't be able to stick it on without the aid of a stool.
You Yu walked behind her: "I'll come."
Only then did Ito China notice him, her cheeks could not help blushing slightly, and she backed away with a hum.
[Favorability +2]
Yu Yu was already numb to this.
You Yu took the poster and helped her put it squarely on the door, then took two steps back and looked at the effect.
It was a promotional poster for a newly released card. The poster features a slew of newly-arrived cards, with a black magician in a black robe in the background.
You Yu was a little strange: "Is there a black magician in the new card?"
He remembered that cards like Black Magician should be top rare cards not only among players, but also among the native residents of this world.
"Of course not." Qiannai said lightly.
"So the image of this poster..."
"Then when you eat instant noodles, are there really beef and vegetables that are painted on the box in the noodle bucket?"
You Yu: "..."
Holy crap, it makes sense, I'm speechless.
