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

Page 202

By the end of the night, I'll definitely be drained dry by three [Therizinosaurus] and one [Spiked Dragon Queen].

What is "exhilarating"?

I can't hold my head up anymore.

They'll really be drained dry.

Even if they manage to hold out, there's still one Lingyi left. (Flash)

If that's not enough, then force is worth using.

Luo Bai looked at the personal interface of the program.

Point B: 4800/5000

After completing a full KC match and a low-level Dark Game, my rating rose from 2000 to 4800, just one step away from [Golden Spirit].

"Tony, what do you think?"

Luo Bai asked the big fat cat that was almost asleep beside him.

"Meow..." Tony groaned in a daze.

"You said it!"

Luo Bai seemed to have found an excuse to open the third interface of the program, which was a monitoring group that could display dynamic images within ten meters of the target in real time. Currently, only the figures of two people were displayed.

Melonica, carrying a small coffin, strolled alone along the main street of the bustling yet somewhat dilapidated residential area. She looked around warily before finally entering the Colosseum, where chaos and bloodshed filled her eyes.

"This time, this place...it doesn't seem appropriate to collect her debt..."

Luo Bai couldn't help but mutter to himself as he turned his gaze to the second [shop assistant] - Qi Qiankong.

"Goodness."

Qi Qiankong lay alone in the laboratory, all the lights off, the surroundings pitch black, only the computer screen in front of him stubbornly lit up, like a bright lamp in the night.

Out of curiosity, Luo Bai moved the surveillance camera to look at the screen and was surprised to find that it did not contain any obscure formulas or experimental reports.

Instead, it is a document that is easy to understand.

"This is...a novel?"

Luo Bai chuckled. He knew that Qi Qiankong was writing novels part-time, but looking at the document which listed the cast and props, it seemed more like a script outline.

"That's terrible, they really went all out."

Luo Bai looked sympathetic and reluctant to let go.

Then take away 200 points of his [limit of Yi Na].

The "Debt Collection" function will be inactive for one week.

"This stuff definitely needs to be stockpiled for a big buy-up."

Luo Bai said softly, "You have to cut chives in bundles."

【Ding】

A crisp mechanical sound rang out above the store.

Congratulations to the store manager on being promoted to Gold Spirit!

[New talent unlocked, please go and check it out]

"I'm coming!"

Unable to contain his elation, Luo Bai quickly opened his personal interface.

【Zero Clothes】 no longer needs to be paired with 【Imperial Decree】.

[Talent - Guardian] Successfully unlocking a slot allows you to add a new Guardian Spirit.

This isn't very helpful.

If there are other monsters in the main monster zone, many Sky Striker cards cannot be used.

Choosing Zero as the first Guardian Spirit seemed to be detrimental to his later development, and he didn't think too much about it at the time, but he doesn't regret it.

The person who runs a Yu-Gi-Oh! card shop.

There are always some things that cannot be measured by profit.

After all, it's 202X already, who plays Sky Striker Princess and cares about her strength?

The newly unlocked talent was quite interesting, leaving Luo Bai completely bewildered.

Choose one of the three new talents.

The scope of influence of all talents, like that of [Imperial Decree], increases as the shopkeeper's authority increases.

[Void Space]

Description: After activating the talent, all units within a certain range centered on the shopkeeper cannot be [Special Summoned].

Constraint: [Void Space] cannot be manually closed; it will automatically close when the store manager's health drops below 50%.

...

Warlord Era

Description: After activating the talent, continuously and randomly eliminate card spirits within a certain range centered on the shopkeeper until all units control only one race.

Constraint: Depending on the scope of influence, the talent consumes 0.1-10 carats of negative cube crystals per minute at the Rebirth Shop. [Warlords' War] can be actively turned off.

...

[Skill Draw]

Description: After activating the talent, all card spirits within a certain range centered on the shopkeeper will lose their [effect].

Constraint: This feature consumes 10% of the store manager's maximum lifespan to activate. [Skill Extraction] can be manually deactivated.

...

A new line of text appeared below the talent:

[After the store manager is promoted to Legendary, the influence of their talent will spread from the Cardling realm to the real world.]

After reading the description, Luo Bai's face darkened.

"What kind of walking sticker monster am I?!"

He could already imagine the scene of having a full set of "six divine items" in the later stages.

With a [Surfing Prosecutor] guardian spirit and dressed in the six divine armors of [Imperial Decree], [Skill Draw], [Void], [Heroes], [Great Universe], and [King's Valley], he took a stroll on the battlefield of conflict.

Raise both hands high and shout:

"All eyes are on me!"

I have something to announce!

"Stop fighting!"

It's so embarrassing, Luo Baiguang felt his eyes burning just thinking about it.

But now, the development direction of this talent is really heading towards a six-item build, and you can even choose your own.

"Three choices..."

Luo Bai's expression was solemn. A simple choice weighed on his mind. The three very different paths seemed like three mysterious timelines, each leading to an unknown world.

"Tony, what do you think?"

He turned his head and saw that the big fat cat was comfortably curled up on the soft cushion by the window, its slightly undulating belly indicating that it was having a sweet dream. He guessed that KC had also stayed up all night.

"Forget it, let's exclude the [Heroes] first."

[Heroes] requires Negative Crystals, which Luo Bai is currently in short supply of. He needs them for drawing cards and summoning guardian spirits. His intuition tells him that the consumption will only increase in the later stages.

I need to subconsciously start collecting these things.

"【Emptiness】or 【Skill Drain…?"

At first glance, the suppression of [nothingness] seems stronger.

Luo Bai pondered for a moment, then typed into the program's AI dialog box: "With the talent [Void Space] active, can I summon multiple guardian spirits?"

The AI quickly replied:

【cannot】

"I knew it!"

"Powerful cards always come with risks!"

Summoning guardian spirits consumes resources. It's best to avoid using guardian spirits if you can solve the problem with stickers. However, opening [Void Space] will limit the number of card spirits that can be summoned later.

It can't even be turned off manually.

To shut it down, you have to sell blood; that's not difficult.

"Um..."

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp.

Think calmly.

Analyze carefully.

A flash of inspiration.

"I choose the banned card."

Luo Bai expressionlessly selected [Void Space].

Powerful cards always come with risks.

Leave the newly added Guardian Spirit slot empty for now, since we can't afford two spirits right now anyway. Let's trust [Liao Li] for now!

Chapter 180 Thank you [Shuangshuangzui] for the gift king
