At noon, You Xuan walked out of the hotel and wandered the streets.
His weary body was slightly stooped.
You Xuan yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up properly.
Staying up all night playing cards is fun for a while, but it’s a nightmare when you wake up.
He understood this truth now.
It seems that even with his Card Spirit, his own strength was still at the level of a mere mortal.
“There it is.”
Seeing Turtle Game Shop, sandwiched between two roads, You Xuan stopped.
He looked up, and the peculiar-looking building had “GAME” written on it, clearly indicating what the store sold.
“Welcome, young man, what can I get for you?”
The shop door was pushed open, and the shopkeeper standing behind the counter uttered a template-like greeting.
You Xuan looked over, the shopkeeper was a little old man with gray hair, wearing jeans and a head scarf with two characters on it, but even so, his hair was still sharp.
This was clearly the grandfather of Yugi Muto, Muto Shizuka.
This was the home of the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yugi.
You could see many games, model toys, puzzle games, monster dice, tabletop RPGs, all kinds of things, it was dazzling.
“Shopkeeper, do you have any rare battle monster cards?”
You Xuan looked around, examining the interior of the game shop, then turned his gaze to Muto Shizuka.
Yesterday he had drawn a series of Jewel Knight cards from the system, but it wasn't enough to complete a basic deck of 40 cards.
Moreover, You Xuan also had some powerful cards he wanted to acquire.
However, he ran out of crystals after a ten-draw.
But that was okay.
There was more than one way to obtain cards, besides drawing them from the system.
Domdyne City was a place with a gathering of duelists, with many card shops.
You Xuan was planning to go buy some powerful cards directly from the card shop to enhance his strength.
That’s why he came to the game shop.
Muto Shizuka, the grandfather of Yugi Muto, was not as simple as he looked. In the past, he was a figure who stood at the top of the game world, the most powerful, unbeatable.
Although his record wasn’t very good in his old age, he definitely had plenty of rare cards. This was evident from the fact that he had five pieces of Exodia (The Forbidden One), as well as the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the world.
It is worth mentioning that in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, many rare cards are truly rare, such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
There are probably only four in the whole world, one was torn by Kaiba, and the rest are in his deck.
It’s impossible for anyone else to obtain them.
You Xuan didn’t know if his system could draw a White Dragon.
If he could, he might have to stage a “Pure Love Party” showdown with Kaiba Corp.
“Of course there are, I’m not bragging, although my store is small, my card collection is very complete, tell me what cards you want.”
When it came to cards, Muto Shizuka straightened his back, obviously very proud of his collection:
“But many rare cards have special significance, if the card you want is too special, then it can't be measured by money, you have to exchange it for other rare cards.”
You Xuan felt that he was going to have to bleed, but he still told him what he needed:
“I want Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, Scapegoat, Call of the Haunted, Black Hole, Feather duster, Mirror Force……”
You Xuan listed a string of versatile, powerful cards that he needed.
“I have all the cards you mentioned, but besides Feather Duster, none of them are rare cards.”
After hearing this, Muto Shizuka looked at You Xuan with a strange expression, as if a chef had seen a generous customer come in, thinking he was going to order a full banquet, ready to show off his skills, but the customer just ordered a simple egg fried rice.
“It's okay, I just want these cards, and please help me exchange Feather Duster for a "Raigeki."”
You Xuan remembered that Feather Duster was actually the card in Mai Valentine's hand, although it was widely used in real cards, it was also considered rare in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world.
On the principle of saving money as much as possible, You Xuan made a further substitution.
Feather Duster had a powerful effect that could destroy all of the opponent's magic and trap cards once it was played.
While "Raigeki" is based on Feather Duster with an additional negative effect, it also destroys all magic and traps on your own field when used.
However, with the changes in duels, some magic and trap cards can also activate their trigger effects when they are destroyed.
The negative effect of "Raigeki" became a positive one, used to proactively trigger effects and help with deployment, causing it to enter the graveyard before its superior Feather Duster, preventing it from being used again.
Raigeki: ???
So in You Xuan's view, most cards don't really have a distinction between strong and weak, but rather a difference in their usage environment.
“So stingy……”
Muto Shizuka muttered, but after all, it was a customer coming in, he still went slowly to the back of the counter to get the cards.
You Xuan: “……”
Hey, your muttering voice is too loud, I heard everything.
Who is this worldly old man, the gap between him and the lovable and humorous old man in the animation is too big.
You Xuan couldn’t help but complain, but on second thought, it made sense.
In the animation, the perspective was following Yugi, so naturally, Muto Shizuka was kind and funny to his grandson and grandson's classmates.
But for ordinary customers, Muto Shizuka was a shrewd shopkeeper.
Kind? Not a chance.
Pot of Greed and those cards were even cheaper than You Xuan imagined, he bought all the powerful cards he wanted for just a day's worth of food money.
After receiving the powerful cards, You Xuan immediately added them to his Jewel Knight deck.
Don't tell him these cards are forbidden cards, everyone has them in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, everyone is using them, why can't he use them.
Cards banned by Konami, what does Kaiba's KC have to do with it?
Do you think you can still use the weapons of the previous dynasty to control the current dynasty?
“By the way, do you buy cards here?”
You Xuan put the rebuilt deck into his Duel Disk. Seeing that the Duel Disk did not issue a fake card alert, he was relieved, and then remembered something and asked.
“Yes, but if it’s a common, overused card, the price I offer will be 20% to 30% lower than the market price, other shops are the same, rare cards are a different story.”
Through You Xuan's card-buying behavior, judging that he was a normal customer with no money, Muto Shizuka's voice became listless.
“Then take a look at the value of these cards.”
You Xuan took out the deck he received from Tetsuo Gotou and had Muto Shizuka estimate its value.
