Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

At the start of the new semester, Yuezhou Duel Academy was plunged into a strange and inexplicable atmosphere.

First, a new club called Qingyu Club launched a series of challenges against the clubs in the academy during this period, and achieved a terrifying record of winning all ten duels in just five days.

Among them was even the Xiongtan Society.

This caused Shen Yi of Qingyu Society to become famous throughout the entire academy, and everyone was talking about which group he belonged to as a new generation.

Meanwhile, a strange phenomenon of unconsciousness is also spreading within the Duel Academy.

Many duelists inexplicably fell into a coma after losing a duel. Although medical robots checked them and said their vital signs were perfectly normal, they showed no signs of waking up.

This coma occurred almost simultaneously with the challenge from the Blue Feather Society.

So some people combined the two things and began to spread rumors that Shen Yi was a dark duelist, claiming with certainty that Shen Yi would absorb the souls of his opponents through duels, thereby strengthening his own follower cards.

Otherwise, how do you explain that this guy just enrolled and already has two forms of his main follower card?

It's important to know that, as the core system of Star Duel, the form of minions is never easy to unlock.

Often, your followers need to exert their utmost effort and achieve certain accomplishments in major events in their own world before they have a chance to awaken a new form.

It's clearly unreasonable to start with minions that come in two forms.

"Let's take a break from challenging duels for a while."

The celebration banquet for the tenth victory was hosted by Jiji.

She looked at Shen Yi across from her and gave him her advice very seriously.

Shen Yi's attention was not on her at all, but rather on the shop sign with a strange look.

【Smart Stir-fry】

intelligent……

Stir-fry?

Shen Yi felt that no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't connect the two words together.

"This restaurant specializes in freshly cooked dishes! They taste much better than those pre-made ones," said Kujira with a smile, seeing Shen Yi's puzzled expression.

"Does cooking by a robot count as cooking fresh?" Shen Yi's gaze fell on the robot that was busily cooking in the open kitchen.

Yes, even in restaurants that specialize in freshly cooked food, the chefs are robots.

The key point is that you have to admit they are indeed delicious when stir-fried.

With the support of big data, these chef robots will learn your every preference.

The so-called "personalized taste" is simply due to insufficient data.

Given enough data, the chef robot can even control the oil temperature to two decimal places, creating a unique, customized meal just for you.

In this era, AI has intervened in every aspect of life. Although individuals still nominally retain their privacy, in reality, the vast majority of data is already in a state of default openness.

Countless robots and smart devices will continuously collect various data about you in order to provide you with better and more convenient services.

This is also the conclusion Vera reached after she ate the guide robot.

Actually, this isn't the most despairing thing.

Even though Shen Yiming knew all this, for the sake of convenience, even though Vera could block all data collection, he still had to grant the AI ​​some permissions to obtain some data.

Take the stir-fried dish in front of us, for example.

If the chef robot doesn't share its data, the dishes it serves will be the average taste of the general public, which is what is known as the taste of pre-made food.

"Why did you stop?" Shen Yi picked up some stir-fried beef with his chopsticks, then looked at Jiu Shi Ji and asked, "If we win ten more games, the club can be officially established, right?"

Kujuhime said, "The academy community has started spreading rumors that you are the culprit who caused those duelists to fall into a coma, saying that you are a dark duelist or something."

"I think it's best to avoid suspicion for now, and we also need to start preparing for this month's secret realm exploration, right?"

At this point, Ji Jiu also sighed inwardly at Shen Yi's bad luck.

This is a completely undeserved disaster.

Of all times, this happens at this very moment.

"Hmm... let's pause for a while then," Shen Yi nodded.

"Even if you say that... Huh? You agreed?" Kujuhime's eyes widened in surprise.

Based on what she'd learned about Shen Yi over the past few days, this guy was clearly a dueling fanatic.

He was convinced so easily?

"The other clubs have probably figured out my playing style, so I do need to make some adjustments," Shen Yi said thoughtfully.

He enjoys dueling, but he is also aware of his own limitations.

After these duels, he had long since realized the major flaws in his deck, but he continued only to improve his luck in printing cards.

Now that "The Adorable Tiger Descends the Mountain" is complete, he can indeed take some time to rest.

The combination of Vera and Nangong Ai can indeed bring him victory after removing all the opponent's restrictions.

However, given the extreme lack of playmaking opportunities in the deck, Shen Yi often has to put in considerable effort to complete the development of this combination.

Although the first two duels were won very easily, they were precisely the ones that best illustrate the problem.

He summoned Vera through a normal summoning, relying on the bond between them and Vera's response to his call.

Therefore, he had to work with Vera every night to strengthen their bond.

(Although he'll most likely recharge his account even if he doesn't duel.)

For a duelist, relying on synergies rather than maneuvering to acquire core cards is simply unacceptable.

His deck wasn't entirely devoid of maneuvering, but it was in the [Idol] slot. He could maneuver Xiao Ai, but he couldn't maneuver Vera, who hadn't appeared in the game yet.

Moreover, these cards were all rented.

I'll be returning these cards next month.

Another major drawback is that he has very few usable minion cards.

It's hard to believe that Shen Yi has won all ten of his battles, yet he only has two proper follower cards in his follower deck: Vera and Xiao Ai. The rest are all initial followers.

It can only be said that he was able to win all the way because, in addition to his strong bond with Vera, he also chose relatively weak guilds, and he was also under the halo of defeating the Kumatan guild.

Spell cards are alright; as long as you find the right traits, you can figure out how to print them yourself.

Although the retrieval feature is the rarest among the categorized features, it can still be obtained from the Soul Card Secret Realm provided by the Academy.

But follower cards are a different story.

The vast majority of employees and followers in Starry World are registered under the names of various companies, and many of them have signed indentured servitude contracts, with the contracting rights belonging to the companies.

The thought of his hired followers, whom he had painstakingly trained and who had achieved great results, only to have those companies turn around and take back the follower cards and sell them at an even higher price made Shen Yi feel horrified.

I'm not going to be a sucker who trains followers for nothing.

"You say you're lacking follower cards?" Ninety-Hime looked at Shen Yi incredulously. "Isn't your Vera a Soul Card?"
