Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

The Blasphemous Card is something associated with [Evil Gods].

...

On the other hand, Luo Bai didn't take Chen Wencheng's surrender seriously at all.

I've seen too much.

got used to.

A seasoned duelist should have fired the moment they saw the Pearl Tears Elegy Clan's pile of ten.

"There's still a little over an hour left..."

Luo Bai thought about it and decided not to play anymore.

Online duels are just for fun and give you some virtual currency in your account; there are no real-world rewards.

We should take advantage of this time to study the present world.

The three interfaces unlocked by the [Table Program] are: the first is the [Shopkeeper] personal panel, and the second is the duel/card deck interface.

The third interface is unusable.

It says that you need to contract a [shop assistant] or open a [real-world branch] to unlock it.

Luo Bai sighed helplessly and swiped the interface back to his personal panel.

[Permission Level: Beginner]

[Store Manager Talent: Guardian]

[Point B: 400]

【Affinity: 3.2】

[Shop opening time remaining: 1.5 hours]

...

This month's revenue: 0

Location: Biantana - Bianyuelong Fortress

[Remaining Assets: 10.88 carat negative cubic crystal]

[Bound Soul Card: The Reversal Between the Mortal World and the Underworld]

"Guardian?" Luo Bai clicked the question mark next to "Guardian" to explain.

This seems to be his initial talent.

[Guardian]: [Shopkeeper] can choose a Card Spirit Contract. When the Shopkeeper suffers fatal damage or a major unexpected attack, the Card Spirit will automatically summon and protect the Shopkeeper.

"Holy crap, this is a lifesaver!"

"That's awesome, bro!"

"Ah, so there's a consumption involved..."

"They can even choose spell/trap cards..."

There are five slots for [Guardian], but only one can be unlocked due to the [Initial Heart] restriction. The card spirits that can be contracted are also temporarily limited to those below [Transcendent].

Negative Crystals are consumed based on the overall strength of the summoned spirits.

Luo Bai playfully tapped the Earth-Rumbling level magic card [Obelisk the Tormentor, 4000/4000], curious about the cost of the [God]'s contracted guardian spirit.

"Ten thousand carats at a time."

"A [Legendary] level is required to enter into a contract."

Goodbye!

He just wanted to take a look, to satisfy his craving, in case he had the chance to go again in the future.

Choosing your initial Guardian Spirit is important; you need to consider the cost-effectiveness of each card.

Luo Bai chose to continue reading.

Check if there's anything missing from this person's homepage.

He suddenly noticed a small "Shop" button to the right of "10.88 carat negative cubic crystal," which was a hyperlink.

"You wrote it so small, are you worried I'll draw a card?"

"Don't you believe in my luck?"

"Am I the type of person who would make impulsive purchases?"

The Shop is amazing! You can redeem cards that are currently unlocked, but redeeming them directly is quite expensive.

Of course, you can also try your luck with the lottery.

Yes, it's a lottery draw.

The very word sounds like it could easily lead to bankruptcy.

This 10.88-carat negative square crystal was all his initial resources, equivalent to 1088 million purchasing power in the modern world.

It's more than enough for an ordinary person to live a peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.

Or you can contract a powerful guardian spirit, exchange it for useful magic cards, and roam freely in small places.

Or...

Let's take a gamble.

Unpack!

A bicycle turned into a motorcycle!

[Table Program] I'm worried he'll get carried away with gambling and go bankrupt, which will affect his early development.

The "Shop" button was deliberately designed to be so subtle, for fear that beginner-level shopkeepers would fall into the bottomless pit of the gacha system.

The [Extraordinary] Card can be directly redeemed for a cheap one that costs about 1 carat, or a more expensive one that costs 2 to 3 carats.

[Card Pack] 1 pack contains only 0.1 carats, 8 cards per pack. The drop rate for each card is as follows: [Extraordinary] 0.5%, [Rare] 1.5%, [Precious] 20%, and [Common] 78%.

A 0.1-carat compound crystal is equivalent to 10 in purchasing power.

One pack costs 100,000; no wonder card maker is considered a rich person's profession.

How should this money be allocated to daily life, guardian spirits, exchanging for magic cards, opening packs...?

"No rush, there's still over an hour..."

Luo Bai opened the spreadsheet on her computer, preparing to create a cost-performance expectation table.

Become the store manager.

You can be very careful with your money.

"No, magic cards should be able to be made by themselves..."

He suddenly thought of something, and his fingers on the keyboard stopped abruptly.

"Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to buy the materials and make it ourselves?"

The thought immediately crossed Luo Bai's mind, and he quickly searched for the basic process of making magic cards...

My mental focus was unprecedented, and suddenly I felt that more than an hour was not enough.

Just then.

"Ta-da-da!"

A footstep sounded in my ear.

It got louder and louder...

"Click!"

In front of the card shop, under the moonlight, on the edge of the night, on the water.

The eerie wooden door slowly opened.

The first [shop assistant] arrived.

Chapter 13 The First Guest

Biantana, the Moonlit Fortress has appeared.

Night.

heavy rain.

A secluded alley.

A dark shadow flashed by.

Melonica held an umbrella in one hand and transformed the other into a claw, casually snapping the neck of the shadowy figure with a flick of her wrist.

Then, with a turn, his fingernails suddenly grew longer and severed another person's head.

His head rolled off, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.

"A filthy card hunter!"

A fierce glint flashed in Melonika's eyes, and with a light kick, she sent her head flying into the nearby sewer.

Blood stained the puddles red.

She walked calmly out of the alley, with three corpses piled up behind her.

Countless red-eyed bats flew out from behind her, and two black and white wolves darted out from the corner, landing on the corpse and devouring it.

【The Vampire's Familiar】& 【The Vampire's Relatives】

A street battle in the rain has ended.

The black Lolita was not stained with blood.

elegant.

The bats and black and white wolves returned from the corpses, carrying the three magic cards from these card hunter assassins.
