Yuei Vu counted the spoils collected from Pandora one by one.
According to the rules of Battle City, each duelist must have at least 40 cards in their deck, but Pandora only used a dozen or so cards in the duel with Yugi Mutou in the DM animation.
Now Yuei Vu took a look at his entire deck and found that although Pandora claimed to be a “pure Dark Magician” deck, there were only a few cards related to Dark Magician in his deck.
There were three Dark Magicians, a Thousand Knives, a Dark Magic Curtain, and a Dark Renewal.
Thousand Knives (Normal Spell Card): If you control “Dark Magician”: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target.
Dark Magic Curtain (Normal Spell Card): If you activate this card, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon this turn. Each player can pay half of their Life Points to Special Summon 1 “Dark Magician” monster from their Deck.
Dark Renewal (Normal Trap Card): When your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster(s): Target 1 of those monsters and 1 Spellcaster monster you control; send both monsters to the GY, then you can Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from your Deck or GY.
(the above are all anime effects)
Yuei Vu put the cards seized from Pandora into the Duel Disk and tried them out. He was pleasantly surprised to find that these cards seemed to work!
According to the rule of World Link Online, players can only use the cards obtained from the system card library or quest rewards. If a player grabbed the NPC’s deck directly placing it on the Duel Disk like Yuei Vu just did, the Duel Disk would have no response.
Yuei Vu speculated that maybe it was because he became an NPC after his rebirth, so now he could use cards produced locally like other NPCs.
At the same time, he also comes with the player’s game panel, which can also obtain cards from the system card pool just like the player.
In other words, he has become a kind of existence mixed between the player and the NPC, and can use the game’s native and system-produced cards at the same time.
The only regret is that only the three “Dark Magicians” in the Pandora deck did not respond after they were placed on the Duel Disk.
Yuei Vu wasn’t sure what the specific reason was, but he guessed that it might have something to do with Pandora’s manipulation on these three cards. The three Dark Magicians used by Pandora in the animation were slightly cut by him, so that he could cheat when shuffling the cards before the duel and ensure that he could draw his ace Dark Magician to his hand.
Maybe it’s because he modified the card, so the system that came with the Duel Disk didn’t recognize these three cards.
But it didn’t matter, he also has a “Dark Magician” as a reward, which was lying quietly in his card library at the moment.
In addition, completing the mission and winning Pandora also gave him a lot of experience points. His level jumped from level 1 to level 3 in one breath, and he received a reward of 40 crystals.
The crystal could be used to buy card packs in the system card pool, but 40 crystals was really a drizzle that was not enough to fill the gap between the teeth.
……
The misty night gradually dissipated, and the sky gradually dawned. The streets woke up lazily, and pedestrians began to appear in the empty blocks.
This was the second day of Yuei Vu’s rebirth.
Today’s primary goal – first, find a place where I can eat and sleep.
After all, if people don’t eat, they will die.
No matter how well you play cards, you need to eat like anyone else.
It doesn’t matter what the salary is, I just need a place to rest in the short term. After all, this is Yu-Gi-Oh world, as long as you can play cards, you won’t have to worry about making money in the later stage.
Not long after walking around the streets in the early morning, Yuei Vu quickly stopped in front of a card shop.
Behind the shop window was filled with card boxes of dueling monsters, and the top is posted with a “Recruiting Waiter” notice.
Yuei Vu thought for a while, then walked straight in.
The door of the store was open, but it seemed that it has only just opened. After all, the sky has only just started to light up.
The space in the store was quite large. The containers are like bookshelves in a library, except that the rows and columns are filled with card packs and card boxes. Some of the shelves also have imitation figures of some popular dueling monsters and some other peripheral products.
“welcome.”
A girl’s crisp voice came from behind the rows of shelves.
Appearing from behind was a girl with short neck-length hair and rare silver hair. She looked a little immature with a blank expression. She was not tall and looked like a junior high school student.
For the first time, Yuei Vu was surprised by the striking silver hair, but then he thought about it – in this world, the protagonist Yugi Muto wears a colorful starfish head to go to school all day long, and no one thinks it was inappropriate. With such a comparison, silver hair seemed to be normal?
What was more noteworthy seemed to be… the maid outfit this girl was wearing.
Yes, the white lace skirt and tight black stockings perfectly outline the outline of the girl’s calf, with a large white bow tied behind her back.
No matter how you look at it, it was a standard maid costume with regional characteristics.
What’s even more interesting was that when the girl appeared from behind the shelf and saw Yuei Vu at first glance, Yuei Vu noticed a string of “Favorability +10” popping up above her head.
Yuei Vu: “…”
Sure enough, being handsome was good.
Obviously, he didn’t do anything, yet he still made a good impression when he first met someone.
Thinking back to the beginning, when I was a player, I spent a lot of time trying to gain the favorability of a quest NPC. It took a long time, running errands and playing cards, and it took more than half a week to get a pitiful “Favorability +5”.
At that time, I thought that this game was too bad, my liver made my scalp tingle. Now that I think about it, it may not be the game’s fault, it may be that I was ugly at the beginning…
However, the professionalism of the maid still seemed to be in place. It was clear that the favorability level has increased, but her face had no reaction at all, and only bowed to the guest in a standard manner.
“Hello, do you want to buy a card or order coffee?”
Turns out this was a coffee shop.
Only then did Yuei Vu notice that this place was not just a card shop. There were also tables and seats next to it. Customers could order coffee and drink and sit there to read books…or play cards.
Of course, there was no such high-end technology in small stores such as hologram projectors. Playing cards in the store was actually like playing cards with friends from board game clubs around a table in the real world. It was a leisure and entertainment activity…
“No need.” Yuei Vu pointed to the notice posted on the window outside, “I just saw that there is a shortage of people here, so I want to come and see.”
“Oh, that’s it.” The girl nodded, “Yes, but an interview is required.”
“Then the interview is…?”
“Right now.”
The girl said and walked behind the counter, and took out a small black-covered notebook from the drawer. She spread the book out on her slender wrist, took out a button-type ballpoint pen in the other hand, and pressed out the tip with her thumb.
Yuei Vu was a little surprised: “It’s right here… You are the one who makes questions?”
He looked around subconsciously and found that there really seemed to be no one else in the store.
The girl raised her head expressionlessly: “Can’t I do it?”
“No… you can, of course.”
Yuei Vu just felt that this girl looked a little too tender, not like the store manager.
“Let’s start with the name,” she said.
“Yuei Vu.”
“A foreigner?”
“Um.”
“Age?”
“……nineteen.”
He made up things about age. Because if he must answer honestly, his account has only been established for a day, that meant he was only one day old in a strict sense… But the other party would definitely not believe it.
“… Nineteen, two years older than me…” The girl muttered to herself in a low voice.
Yuei Vu noticed that the prompt “Favorability +5” popped up on the little silver head.
Yuei Vu: “?”
What have I done?
The girl’s eyes then fell on the Duel Disk in his left hand.
“Are you a duelist?” she asked.
“Yes.” Yuei Vu nodded.
“Then why are you here to work?”
Yuei Vu: “Duelists are still humans. We need to eat.”
The girl’s facial muscles didn’t move at all, but she stared at him for a long time, making Yuei Vu feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn’t say anything, lowered her head again, and continued to write something in the small notebook.
【Favorability +5】
Yuei Vu: “??”
What am I doing again?
“That last question.”
The girl’s pen stopped and her voice was calm: “…Do you have a girlfriend?”
Yuei Vu: “…”
Is this a job application or an investigation?
Does this really have anything to do with me looking for a job?
However, considering that he is now the applicant, he still answered truthfully: “No.”
This sentence was a complete truth, and the truth is even a bit tragic—because even if you take into account his previous life experience, this was a truth that couldn’t be faulted.
“Oh, no.” The girl nodded.
【Favorability +10】
Yuei Vu: “??????”
