Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

"There shouldn't be any problem with my existence, right?"

After the initial excitement, Shen Yi quickly calmed down again.

His transmigration and rebirth were actually quite special.

He was still the same person; not only his soul and memories, but even his body was his original one.

Logically speaking, he should be considered an unregistered person in this world, the kind of person who could be found out at any moment in an AI-dominated world.

But he also had a legal identity and even his own house, which made Shen Yi a little confused about his current situation.

Hearing Shen Yi's worries, Vera proudly said, "Of course there won't be any problems! This is a prop left behind by Mother! Although it's disposable, giving you a perfect identity is a piece of cake!"

Then Vera explained her current situation to Shen Yi in detail.

Everything about him remained unchanged; Vera simply used an item called the "Saintess's Notebook" to revive Shen Yi and send him to this world, replacing the identity of the house's recently deceased original owner.

This replacement is not a blatant impersonation, but rather replacing everything about the other person with Shen Yi, including the memories the other person left in other people's minds and all the traces they left in this world, including the information they left in the AI ​​database.

"I heard that the original owner of this notebook could even create a new identity that exists in everyone's memory out of thin air," Vera explained. "However, the power is greatly reduced if it's an item; there must already be a corresponding identity and traces beforehand."

"So, I'm still me, just carrying the experiences and identity of the original owner of this place?"

"Hmm, more or less." Vera said, taking out a notebook. "This is the journal, but after using the ability, it's just an ordinary notebook now. It contains all the memories and experiences of the person you replaced."

In fact, Vera could simply stuff the contents of the notes into Shen Yi's head.

But Miss Doll always believed that memories are also a part of a person, and if someone else's memories were implanted into Shen Yi's mind, then Shen Yi would no longer be pure.

Compared to Shen Yi, who carried the fate of others, she still preferred the Shen Yi who was obsessed with dressing her up and cosplaying her and then beating her up.

"Let me see," Shen Yi said, taking it from him. "Don't give me any weird parents or some random sister."

"Um, didn't you really like the younger sister type?" Vera said, recalling.

"Capable and incapable are two completely different kinds of younger sisters," Shen Yi replied casually, flipping through his notes.

Because Shen Yi had replaced Shen Yi's identity, the persona in the notes had also changed to Shen Yi, which made Shen Yi feel slightly uncomfortable reading it.

Fortunately, my current identity is similar to my previous life, and I don't have any troublesome interpersonal relationships.

The only difference is that in his previous life, he was alone because both his parents died, while in this life, he has no idea who his mother is.

His father was probably a wealthy businessman in the city, but he lost a duel that determined the fate of the group. After losing all his points and assets, he chose to commit suicide rather than become someone else's follower card for the sake of making a living.

Of course, neither the current Shen Yi nor the original owner of this identity had any feelings for this father, because he was originally a child born after the other party matched an egg with AI genes, and was used as an organ spare.

In fact, most people in this world are born through AI gene matching. People like him who know that a blood relative exists are a minority. Most people don't even know who their parents are.

AI matches genetic compatibility, automates insemination, uses artificial wombs for gestation, and employs childcare robots to raise children, who are then directly released into society once they reach the appropriate age.

As part of a capital group, the Human Reproduction Company is not a charity. All of the costs mentioned above will become "parenting loans" that weigh on ordinary people, becoming their necessary monthly expenses after they enter society.

Shen Yi also has a similar "parenting loan," which is part of his daily 10-point necessary expenditure points.

Once you are unable to pay these necessary expenses, all smart services around you will cease to serve you, and the "parenting loan" will be forcibly enforced once it reaches a certain level, turning you into a follower card and an asset of the human reproduction company.

Of course, even if they are not detained for overdue payments, most people will eventually become followers, but they are more free than company assets and have the right to choose their own duelists.

After all, since AI has already monopolized all other industries, and these humans who have entered society have to pay for AI's basic services with tokens, or points, every day, your only choice is to enter the Star Duel industry.

You can either become a duelist or a follower card.

To become a duelist, one must pass the entrance exam for the Duel Academy and then earn points through duels.

Becoming a follower card is relatively simple: draw your own card effect, then attach yourself to your company's platform and wait for duelists to pay you daily points to hire you.

However, this track is also crowded with recruited followers from another world, brought by the chosen duelists from the Soul Card world using their Soul Cards.

Since the main body is in another world, there is no need to worry about daily points when recruiting followers. As long as the duelist can fulfill his wish, he will join the deck and fight for him. Therefore, the native follower cards that require points to hire need to demonstrate their abilities in order to have a chance to be hired.

"So, the follower cards in this world are all real, existing beings?"

"Yes, it's a truly hopeless world." Vera tried to push Shen Yi away from her chest, but failed several times. Helplessly, she could only follow Shen Yi and finish reading the contents of the notes.

"Hmm..." Shen Yi frowned in thought.

"What are you thinking, Ah Yi?" Vera asked curiously.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Yi finally spoke up: "So, this world allows Meika to get pregnant?"

"Don't pay attention to this weird stuff! Aaaaaah!" Vera frantically shoved Shen Yi's head into her chest.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!"

After struggling for a while, Shen Yi managed to break free from the puppet's grasp.

He closed his notebook while panting heavily.

He didn't care much about the human settings of this world. He had only replaced the other person's identity, not experienced their experiences again. His body was still the original one and was completely unaffected.

However, it is not hard to see from this notebook the importance of the Duel Academy's entrance exam to humanity in this world.

No wonder the other party lost his life in preparation for the duel exam.

Thinking this, Shen Yi focused his gaze on the worktable not far away.

Although Vera had wiped it clean, some bloodstains remained.

Did he get crushed to death by a chandelier while printing cards?

This is so unlucky.

Thinking this, Shen Yi picked up the card that the other party had not yet finished on the worktable.

******

Card Name: [Blood Price]

Category: Spell/Normal

Effect: Once per turn, pay half your life to draw a card from your spell deck.

******

The card-drawing effect is simple and crude, requiring you to pay half your health, and it's only once per turn.

Ordinary... even a bit rubbish.

Shen Yi looked at the still-operating machine, where some materials could be vaguely seen.

According to the notes, this should be the material used to print the card.

Characteristic materials can guide cards to form the desired effect, and can be broadly divided into card draw characteristics, search characteristics, numerical characteristics, exit characteristics, and mystery characteristics.

Each trait corresponds to a certain effect tendency. The most special one should be the mystery trait, which is said to include a large number of rare traits that have not yet been clearly distinguished, and even the victory trait.

Shen Yi inquired with the smart assistant on the identity card. At this moment, the device should be filled with a material called [Undead Axle Grass], which has card-drawing properties.

"Can it increase the probability of drawing a card by 1%, and make the existing card draw effect even stronger by 0.2%?" Shen Yi muttered to himself. "The probability is a bit low, but it seems that the probability can be increased through luck."

Shen Yi looked at the information on the identity card.

I want to see just how far this so-called luck can push the effect of this card!

Thinking this, Shen Yi placed his hand on the equipment.

As the equipment started operating, the cards on the worktable began to glow.

"Ah Yi, what are you doing?" Vera noticed the commotion.

"Printing cards," Shen Yi said with a hint of excitement.

Let me see the potential of this world's card game!

A boost of luck increases your chances!

29, 28, 27...

The numbers representing one's fortune keep changing.

As numerical values ​​unique to humans, luck, which can increase probabilities, and points, which can only be obtained in human duels, have become high walls preventing AI from infiltrating the Star Duel arena. —It's not that AI can't play cards; it's just that it gains no benefit from playing.

Seeing all this, Vera cried out in alarm, "Hey! Wait! Don't use up all your luck!"

However, her words seemed to come a little too late.

Ding!

As Shen Yi's luck was reset to zero, he finally heard the notification sound indicating that the card combination had been successfully completed.

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow and picked up the fully completed card.

All the gems on the card have lit up, meaning it has exhausted its potential and cannot be forged any more times.

However, the current results seem to be more than sufficient.

Card Name: [Blood Price]

Category: Spell/Normal

Effect: Once per turn, pay half your life to draw three cards from your spell deck.

Even if the one-time limit cannot be changed, this card is powerful enough if you can draw three cards!

However, just as Shen Yi was feeling excited, a startled cry came from the puppet behind him.

"Ah Yi! Watch out!"

The next second, a terrifying rumble sounded behind him, and then he felt himself being enveloped in softness.

When he came to his senses, he was already in Vera's arms, and everything around him was a mess.

A transport drone crashed into his room and destroyed everything inside.

Before Shen Yi could react, a piece of ceiling material fell from the sky.

Vera dodged, and the huge boulder grazed her body as it landed where they had been standing.

Before Vera could even get her footing, the floor beneath her cracked.

As Vera jumped, an electric arc ignited the drone's battery, and a raging fire instantly engulfed the house.

Miss Doll rushed out of the room and quickly took out a necklace and put it around Shen Yi's neck.

It was only then that Shen Yi came to his senses: "Holy crap, what's going on?"

Vera rolled her eyes in annoyance: "The moment your luck is reset to zero, the whole world will become your enemy, and accidents will keep happening until they take you away..."

"It's not written in this notebook either."

"This is basic common sense in all worlds," Vera said. "The original owner of this identity was also killed by a chandelier for the same reason."

"No wonder he's so unlucky," Shen Yi complained.

Vera glanced at Shen Yi speechlessly.

If it weren't for his necklace temporarily increasing Shen Yi's luck, he would still be suffering from bad luck.

"Our house is gone." Vera looked at the dark sky, the raging fire in the distance, and the firefighting drones constantly flying overhead. "What are we going to do now?"

Because of insufficient points, the house was not insured, making it impossible to obtain compensation quickly.

Fortunately, the incident was caused by an accidental drone crash, and the transportation company will definitely have to provide compensation.

However, Shen Yi felt it was better not to have high expectations for this in the short term.

Without enough points to hire an AI lawyer to help you with the case, the other party will definitely drag it out as long as possible. After all, if it drags on long enough, the victim may be forced to become a follower card and enter someone else's deck because they are homeless.

In short, he and Vera will likely be homeless for some time to come.

"If I remember correctly," Shen Yi said thoughtfully, "there seems to be a Traveler's Bar nearby."
