Chapter 25 - Initial Deck Selection
A few minutes ago.
Luo Bai made an emergency landing from the sky above Bianyuelong Advanced Duel Academy.
Rather than the actual fall, he even felt like the fear of falling would kill him.
Feeling danger, he smashed his newly drawn
Clutching onto the Ka's wings tightly, I managed to cushion the fall a bit and landed gracefully in the fierce wind.
I ended up with only minor injuries, but unfortunately, there was still a thunderstorm happening. His hair was a mess, and he even forgot to give his thanks to his now dissipating Ka.
[Happy Lover] : Excuse me, what?
"Where the hell is this?"
Luo Bai blankly murmured.
The iron gates of the academy were locked, with a massive silver-white sphere hovering halfway above the door, emitting a faint and gentle glow. It was adorned with intricate symbols and unknown devices, shimmering with a dim golden brilliance. Precise mechanical contraptions released wisps of faint vapor.
There were also several arcs of electricity around, making Luo Bai feel that it would be instant death upon contact.
He couldn't feel pain, but that doesn't mean he's unafraid of death.
He can't play Yu-Gi-Oh! in hell after all, making that place quite boring.
"Hachoo!"
The wind howled, and Luo Bai shivered. The chill gradually invaded his whole body. Remembering that the clothes on his body were soaked, he couldn't help but sneeze.
He has to find a place to take shelter from the rain first.
Fortunately, there's a card shop on the corner not far away, with a door sign emitting a bright neon halo.
Hugging his body close, he ran towards it quickly.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the card shop, the warm atmosphere hit him. The shop was brightly lit, soothing music played one after another, and the air was filled with a rich and stimulating fragrance. The shop was decorated luxuriously and various high-tech products were displayed.
Three cards were displayed in front of the door like they were the three Phantasms, namely consisting of the Effect Monster:
From the markings, they all seem to be extraordinary cards, making them the treasures of the shop.
Professional card shops know how to promote themselves in various ways.
Completely different from someone like him, who is willing to go to extremes for love but barely makes ends meet.
"Why is an
Luo Bai's mind was still that of an Earthling. Altergeists was a Link-oriented Deck. A Level 4 Fortress wouldn't have a
Can Altergeists even function properly without their Link monsters?
What, you want Meluseek to scrape off Life Points with her direct attacks?
Creating Synchro/Xyz/Link monsters all require environmental factors, namely
However, he successfully created the Xyz monster:
Not thinking about this any further, Luo Bai slowly opened the door and entered.
He's getting ready to meet the talents of Biantana's Level 4 Fortress.
Just as he stepped into the card shop, the sound of the rain ceased, and everything became clear and bright.
Countless shuffling sounds, card drawing sounds, shouting, and AI referee alarms...
All sorts of sounds rushed towards Luo Bai's face like a gust of heat wave.
The card shop only seemed to be 50 square meters outside, but once he entered the store, it felt wider than a football field, over 1000 square meters.
Space folding technology!
Luo Bai felt envious, wanting something like that for himself.
[Hello, how can I help you?]
A beautiful robot lady greets Luo Bai with a smile.
She's wearing a black uniform that fits her figure perfectly, showcasing her elegant curves. She has a graceful figure, with long legs that appear slender yet strong. Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, highlighting her fair skin. Her friendly smile made one feel truly welcome.
As to be expected from a professional card shop.
"When I get rich, I will have one of them too!" Luo Bai vowed secretly.
"Hello, are there accommodations here?"
Before competing with local talents, he would have to take care of the basic necessities in life first.
[Certainly.]
[Would you like to stay overnight or book a room for a month?]
Biantana's card shops aren't just a place to play cards. There are some couples who, while playing cards, get caught up in the moment and end up dueling on the beds on the third floor.
"How much does it cost for three days of food and accommodation?"
[Three days and three nights, three daily meals included, 5000 gold points.]
"Okay. Register me."
The price is quite reasonable. After all, this card shop is located near the academy and has an advantageous location with explosive traffic.
[Understood, please present your supercomputer ring.]
"Supercomputer ring? Oh, this."
Luo Bai was confused for a moment, and it took him a few seconds before he suddenly remembered that it was the electronic bracelet he found himself wearing.
He's still not completely used to life in this world.
"Help me exchange one carat of Negative Crystal."
1 million gold points per carat is the official price and can be exchanged anywhere, but to exchange 1.2 million gold points for a carat of Negative Crystal, one will have to go to the black market.
[Understood.]
After a moment with the sound of clinking keys...
[Registration complete, here is your room card.]
[If you need further assistance, you can contact me under the ID number 4275.]
After the robot beauty finished speaking, she handed over a high-tech card with the image of
Later, the human and the robot held out their supercomputer rings to each other, akin to adding each other as friends.
......….
"Ahh~~ That's the spot~~"
Luo Bai groaned in the bathroom.
Nothing feels better than taking a hot shower after being drenched in heavy rain.
This card shop even provides new wardrobes and dozens of changes of clothes.
So this is Biantana's card shop huh, can places like this be built back on Earth?
"Fuuu..."
Luo Bai wiped his hair with a towel and came to the computer, pulled out the data cable from his supercomputer ring and connected it to the network.
Thereupon, he uploaded the Tabletop Program to the computer, and a client named
His top priority now is to create an initial Deck.
Others lack the Crests but not the Ba, while here he was, not lacking in Crests, but in Ba.
Now he only has 400 Ba points, barely enough to make a Common card. The treatment for newbies in this isekai is just not good.
"I need to buy potions..."
If he doesn't have enough Ba, he can only go with potions.
It's impossible to directly buy ready-made cards here. He had already checked the trading website, and it looked more like the stock market back on Earth.
Each of the cards sold were expensive, an Extraordinary Card easily costing millions.
As for the price of the cards that require fields or the Lost Cards, they would just keep on rising.
Many people buy ready-made cards not to use the card, but to use it as stocks. After buying them, they wait for the price to rise before selling.
After spending 1 million gold points to exchange for Engage!, his total net worth now is less than 10 million gold points, and he still has to set aside part of his Negative Crystals so that he could summon his Guardian Ka in case his life is in danger.
There's a more important question.
What Deck should he choose as his initial Deck?
This involves early development, so this selection is particularly important when resources are scarce.
First to be excluded is the
Just a glance, he already knows building it would be expensive. Not only are the cards in the Main Deck costly, but those in his Extra Deck would be even more sky-high.
Generally speaking, if you don't have any card suppression effects in your Deck's archetype, you have to rely on staple cards, but the reason why such cards are called "staples" is, of course, because they're user-friendly. Can cards that are easy to use be cheap?
The 10 million he got is nowhere near enough for them.
Using the local Biantana Crests?
However, the five major forces haven't advertised the use of
Well, they don't seem to have the Rank 8 Exosister.
He can think about it. He certainly can play without
"I can't create the Xyz cards..."
Luo Bai murmured softly, his face filled with conflict. With his Basic permission level, he could only stay at the Alterlife Shop for 3 hours out of the 24 hours it was open.
His gaze flickered back and forth between his options:
