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

Luo Bai gasped and leaned back tactically.

He never expected this.

One day, I need to explain to someone what the effect of "G proliferation" is.

Chapter 16 The Blasphemous Card and the Cultist

Do people from Biantana not like cockroaches?

"Ah... The effect of [G Proliferation] is: For each Special Summon you make this turn, I draw one card."

Duels like this, where people sit across from each other at a table, are called Sparring Mode in Biantana and Real Card Duels on Earth.

In this mode, the introduction doesn't need to be too professional; as long as the opponent can understand it, it's fine. The intelligent referee will make a judgment based on the contestant's actual actions.

They usually don't use external electric shock devices, so it's relatively easier to play with them.

"Oh~ that's pretty average, one for one." Melonica nodded indifferently.

"You call this 'normal'..."

Luo Bai had a lot to say, but since the other person was probably a newbie, he didn't elaborate further.

Back to the duel, effects handling.

【Vampire's Familiar】Special Summon from Graveyard in Defense Position. Draw 1 from Lothar.

After drawing the cards, out of unconscious habit, I held five cards in my left hand and gently pushed the cards forward with my right thumb, swiping the last four cards up in turn.

It made a clattering sound as the cards were being swiped.

A mental attack method specifically designed for players of real-world card duels.

Surely no one plays with real cards without doing something underhanded.

Melonica frowned, clearly under a mental attack, and her voice became somewhat agitated: "I pay 500 Life Points to activate the effect of [Vampire's Kinslinger], searching my Deck for one [Vampire] Spell/Trap Card."

After paying 500 virtual base points, Melonica seemed to awaken some attribute, and a blush appeared on her face.

"I'm adding [Vampire Move] to my hand."

"Cover two cards, my turn is over, it's your turn."

???

Luo Bai abruptly stopped swiping cards, as if he had traveled back more than a decade, frozen in shock.

That's it?

Top G compromise field?

Something feels off.

"This is too weak, this match is too weak."

Zero Kangchang.

My God, what era is this duel from?

Luo Bai sighed inwardly. He hadn't played with vampires much; he'd only ever seen the shop assistants play them, but he'd never actually seen one in person.

A new tactic?

Unless you specifically compromise on G, in a scenario that can be cleared with a single Special Summon, [Proliferated G] is really not that effective.

Melonica saw Luo Bai's stunned expression and felt a surge of smugness, thinking, "He's dumbfounded, hasn't seen this deck before, huh?"

Forget it, let's just play normally.

Luo Bai couldn't think of any deterrent effect this field could have, and said emotionlessly:

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Preparation, main point."

"Summon [Dreadnought Dragon - Scythe Dragon], activate its effect, and set one of our own Trap Cards on the field from our deck. Is that alright?"

The mini projector was not set up.

That's only natural; these are just ordinary playing cards.

But ever since he bought the card, Melonica stared wide-eyed as if she had seen a ghost.

This seems like a big deal?

The previous [G of Proliferation] was sent directly to the graveyard without any 3D projection, so she didn't find it strange.

But why is this one, [Dysmorpha therizinosaurus]...?

“The Card of Blasphemy…” Melonica murmured softly, her eyes glazed over.

Determining a blasphemous card is simple: when a regular card is placed in the smart card pad, the smart referee will emit a notification sound indicating a "violation card," while a normal magic card will raise a mini projection.

There was neither a projection nor a violation notice.

It could only be the [Blasphemy Card] that her grandmother had once mentioned to her.

A thousand years ago, the Divine Star Tree descended upon Biantana, bringing the planet Yina to this planet. The consciousness residing within the Divine Star Tree was called the true god Sayera by the people.

The Ina will record a story of a time and place and condense it into a Holy Stone Tablet, which contains the core element for creating Magic Cards: patterns.

Of the four essential elements for creating magic cards—blank cards, elemental beads, argan oil, and patterns—blank cards and elemental beads can be purchased in many places, while everyone has one tube of argan oil.

If you are creating Synchro, Xyz, or Link cards, you will need an additional environmental atmosphere called the Field.

Regardless of the rare and precious nature of the "field," the pattern itself is the most expensive.

The more than 8,000 sacred stones discovered in Biantana are basically monopolized by [Companies], [Organizations], [Centers], [World Trade Centers], and [Anti-Beast Frontline]. Simply put, they are equivalent to the [Copyright] and [Patent] of Earth.

Anyone else who wants to create a magic card must go to the corresponding faction, pay an expensive fee for the pattern, and then have their memories associated with the pattern erased.

As a result of this monopoly, a group called the "Desecrators" emerged four hundred years ago. They printed patterns on playing cards and sold them to commoners at extremely low prices, aiming to make magic cards affordable for ordinary people.

Clearly, this is an act of blasphemy; how can such noble patterns be printed on playing cards!

Card Masters should be noble!

The Blasphemers were naturally subjected to a joint attack by the five major powers and were later renamed the Cultists of Evil Gods. They have been on the verge of extinction for nearly two hundred years, and the Blasphemy Card has become a sensitive word in Biantana.

The blasphemers and cultists have gradually faded into history, and no one dares to mention them anymore.

"Hey, are you alright? Uh, I mean, is there a chain?" Luo Bai waved his hand in front of Melonica.

She seemed to be in a daze.

Should we throw it into the hand pit, since it's covered?

"No, it's nothing." Melonica tried her best to steady her breathing.

Absolutely right, it really is the Blasphemy Card.

Is this store manager a member of an evil cult?

No, no, no, it feels more like an evil god himself...

She swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"Then the effect has been taken care of," Luo Bai said casually. "It's now covered by [Fear-Raging Dragon].

"Advanced to the combat tier."

"The Therizinosaurus attacked the vampire's familiar."

No chain, except when the vampire's familiars in the defense position are destroyed in battle.

"Second, fourth, round ends."

Gai Si

"friendly"

"Simple"

Gais's movements were so fluid that Melonika was momentarily stunned at the end.

"You're not going to send it if you move it?" Luo Bai kindly reminded her of her card.

"Huh?" Melonica was stunned for a moment, then recovered and said, "Oh, during your end phase, I activate [Vampire Relocation], activate the Field Spell [Vampire Empire] from my Deck and Special Summon [Vampire Familiar] from my Graveyard."

"Familiar effect: Pay 500 Life Points to search your Deck for [Vampire Grace]."

梅洛妮卡：2前1后3手，1场地，LP3000。

Luo Bai: 1 in front, 5 in back, 1 hand; LP: 4000.

"It's your turn." Luo Bai reminded her again when she didn't move.

"Oh, okay." Melonica reached her hand into the deck area, her hand trembling.

"My turn, draw a card."

"Activate the Minotaur effect, summon familiars, discard the Vampire Empire in your hand to activate the Graveyard familiar effect, and Special Summon from the Graveyard."

"Pay 500 Life Points, activate the Familiar's effect, and search your Deck for [Vampire Fairy].

LP: 3000-2500.

"Using the familiar as a sacrifice, I summon [Vampire Grace]."

"launch..."

Luo Bai interrupted, saying, "Wait a minute, let's go to the chain store."

This must not allow her to activate the Grace effect.

"I pay half of my Life Points to activate the Trap Card 'Dreadful Dragon's Fusion', sending materials from my Deck/Extra Deck to the Graveyard for Fusion Summoning. Does this have a chain?"

"Deck fusion?" Melonica panicked, her lips trembling slightly.

No, there's no chain.

Ever since she began to suspect the identity of this ghost shopkeeper, she had been in a state of subtle tension; it seemed like she couldn't afford to lose this card game.

My grandmother said that cult members are all perverts...

That's how it is...
