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

Page 22

Damn, you reported too little.

A 10% installment fee would mean your store would be shut down if it were located on another planet.

Biantana is surprisingly wealthy; to be precise, the card master is very willing to spend money on his cards.

Careless.

It's a huge loss. I thought I had hit the bottom, but it turned out I only scratched the surface.

The next employee will be exploited to the extreme.

“You’ll pay 0.11 carats at the beginning of each month for ten months. That’s settled.” Luo Yan sighed helplessly, then his face turned gloomy. “If you don’t pay on time, you’ll have to pay extra. If you end the installment plan early, you’ll also have to pay extra.”

After saying that, he handed her the card box.

This time, the program did not stop him.

"You just... gave it to me like this?" Melonica took the card box, tucked it into her bosom, and was somewhat flattered.

Happiness came a little suddenly.

No deposit is required.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away...?"

She hunched her shoulders, her gaze darting around, her furtive manner tinged with a touch of comicality.

"If you dare to run away..." Luo Bai cast a gloomy, faceless glare at him like a malevolent god.

"I'll drag you in here, and do this and that."

"My shop is quite big, and there are many ways to play with the little girls."

He guessed that the card master in front of him must be under some kind of restriction from the Rebirth Shop, which was why he hadn't used his card.

She looks almost like a 1.6-meter-tall loli.

Even if I'm a complete loser, I shouldn't be so bad as to be unable to beat her!

"Hey~ Get away from me, you pervert!" Melonica hurriedly pushed away the devilish shopkeeper.

"I will repay on time."

She spoke breathlessly, clutching the card case tightly to her chest.

Suddenly remembering something, Melonica quickly opened the card box and took out [True Blood Male. Vampire, 3000/2800].

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The Blasphemous Card has not been fully verified yet!

She took a deep breath and activated the scanning device on the supercomputing ring.

Swipe the card up and down, and a deep red line appears—a simple line drawing of the name "True Blood Vampire."

"It really has patterns!"

Melonica jumped up, clutching the cards.

His face lit up with a wide smile, as if he had found a treasure, and he cheered with joy.

Luo Bai, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

"Wang Defa".

"These cards can be played like this?"

"That can't actually be a pattern, can it?"

Although he had never crafted a magic card before, he had skimmed through the basic process and certainly understood the importance of the [patterns].

It's equivalent to copyright.

They're all money-making machines.

As long as the pattern is possessed, this card can be continuously crafted and created until the pattern becomes distorted. Anyone else who wants this card will have to pay a price based on the pattern holder's opinion.

That box of cards just now had a total of seventy-eight cards.

(Original card box design, please do not use it as a reference for reality)

Seventy-eight copyrights sold for one carat...

We've lost so much money we're practically worthless!

Melonica seemed to feel Luo Bai's burning gaze and trembled all over.

"Rua!" she hissed, her hair standing on end as she clutched the card case tightly.

"You've already sold it to me!"

Seemingly somewhat guilty, he stammered, "You, you're a store manager, someone who runs a business."

"You must...you must keep your word."

Oh dear, this clever little devil.

"I'm selling it to you, but I want to make a copy of the pattern," Luo Bai said coldly.

He absolutely refused to suffer this loss.

Melonica thought for a while and felt bad about taking advantage of her, so she handed over the card box.

Luo Bai was surprised that she was so well-behaved and took the card box and opened it with some surprise.

First, scan each card into the [card deck builder] for future online duels. Then, photograph the pattern of each card for later card crafting.

"Don't tell anyone," Melonica said, her head drooping.

Do I look like that kind of idiot?

Luo Bai said calmly, continuing to scan without looking up.

The fewer people who know about a pattern, the more valuable it is. If the same pattern is used too many times, it will become distorted.

Based on their susceptibility to distortion, magic cards are also classified as having a "rarity".

For example, the patterns on [Common] level magic cards can usually be used hundreds of thousands of times, while those on [Extraordinary] level cards can generally only be used a few dozen times.

Once the patterns are distorted, the card can no longer be crafted and becomes a "Lost Card." There is only existing stock, no new stock, and the price becomes even more expensive.

However, the true god Sayera will occasionally send down ruins containing numerous holy stones, some of which may contain lost cards.

Collectively referred to as... [Replica].

"Alright, all done." After ten minutes, Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

He neatly arranged the cards, put them back in the card box, and handed them back to Melonika, just as she had said, those who open a door to do business must be trustworthy.

Once it's sold, it's sold.

There's no reason to take it back.

"Take it, what are you standing there for?"

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Luo Bai urged her.

"You really gave it to me?" Melonica seemed a little taken aback.

At first, it could be explained as a lack of understanding, but now that they clearly know the value of the card case, they're still willing to sell it...

"What do you mean 'give it to you'? This is a transaction, I have to pay back the money." Luo Bai snorted coldly, met her strange gaze, and waved his hand, saying, "Hey, hey, stop looking, you can go now, I have things to do."

Are you trying to seduce me with your female charms?

Still want to get something for free?

Hmph, treacherous and cunning woman.

Melonica clutched the card case, her gaze darting around.

"I'm really leaving now."

Take two steps, then turn back once, glance at the card box twice, then look at the shop manager once.

There was a strange sense of reluctance.

When I stepped onto the water outside the shop again, the moonlight overhead seemed even brighter.

The evening breeze was slightly cool.

That eerie wooden door was not far away; once she pushed it open, she would have to return to that treacherous world.

"This store manager is quite trustworthy..."

Melonica suddenly remembered that there was a silver-level card hunter in the world, and that she did not have any magic cards on her. Her pupils gradually dilated.

She quickly turned around.

Water splashed up from their heels as they rushed towards the card shop.

"Oh!"

Melonica rushed into the funeral parlor again, panting, which startled Luo Bai.

"What are you trying to do now...?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Melonica rushed over and tightly grasped his hand, feeling its warmth.

A blush rose to her exquisite face, her eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed excitedly:

Let's do it!

"???" Luo Bai was stunned by these words, "Do it once?"

"Right here?"

He looked Melonika up and down; she was indeed quite attractive.
