I'm playing cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Although it is amazing to open Youyu's personal store, it seems that none of the most awesome things can be exchanged by players now.

Either the crystals are ridiculously expensive, or Youyu's favorability is very high... In addition, there are many that require both favorability and crystals.

In short, it is a combination of hard work and krypton.

But of course, Youyu can't just put a bunch of cards that look awesome but are actually not available to whet the appetite of players. He can't make money by just putting a bunch of things that make people look greedy in the store. The only function is to stimulate players to quickly complete tasks and upgrade to make money.

Thinking back to the time when Youyu came out from among the sand sculpture players, he is very familiar with the status of players in each period.

For example, what kind of price can a novice player afford, how to price the product so that they can afford it very much, but they can just afford it if they work hard and work harder...

Most of the players in the connected world are old players who have a deep understanding of Yu-Gi-Oh. Although the current environment is almost not the same game as the one they are familiar with, some of the necessary awareness is still universal.

Soon they found a usable combination from the relatively cheap cards in Yu Yu's shop.

"There are 'Captain who cuts into the enemy's formation' and 'Combined Army'!"

"'Command Knight' doesn't seem expensive either..."

"Then it seems that a warrior tribe specialization can be made for the novice period?"

"..."

It has to be said that the card masters are still very quick-witted, and soon found a combination with a certain strength from these "weak cards" ignored by the DM and most duelists.

Captain who cuts into the enemy's formation, star level 3, attack power 1200, can special summon a monster below 4 stars from the hand card when summoned successfully. And as long as he is on the field, the opponent player cannot choose a Warrior-type other than this card as the target of attack.

In layman's terms, it means "you must attack the follower with taunt first"......

The Captain who cuts into the enemy's formation is also the originator of the common tactics used in ancient Yu-Gi-Oh. Because this monster has a taunt effect, as long as you summon two "Captains who cut into the enemy's formation" on the field, the effects of the two captains will have a mutual protection effect, making it impossible for the opponent to select any of them as the target of attack.

In this way, the purpose of blocking the opponent's attack can be achieved.

United Army, a continuous magic card. As long as this card is face-up on the field, for each Warrior-type or Magician-type monster on the field, the attack power of all Warrior-type monsters on the field increases by 200.

Command Knight, star level 4, attack power 1200. If there are other monsters on the field, the opponent cannot choose Command Knight as the target of attack, and as long as she is on the field, the attack power of all Warrior-type monsters on the field increases by 400.

These cards are very weak at first glance, and they are all useless in the eyes of local duelists. Increasing the attack power by 200 or 400 points seems to be a drizzle, and it is meaningless.

However, if these seemingly weak cards are used together, it is easy to increase the attack power of the originally weak low-star monster to the level of a high-level monster.

In this environment, whoever can summon a high-level monster first under the restriction of the sacrifice system has already occupied most of the initiative in a duel, but generally speaking, the so-called high-star monster has an attack power of more than 2,000.

Super rare cards like Red-Eyes Black Dragon have an attack power of only 2,400, and in the animation they are already called "the top-level" cards in duel monsters.

If these auxiliary effects of attack power increase are used appropriately, it is not difficult to exceed this attack power.

Not to mention that this set of cards also comes with a CBO of attack blocking. Although this kind of combination has been eliminated in the later development of Yu-Gi-Oh cards 800 years ago, it seems to be quite powerful in this environment?

At least it must be no problem to fight those nameless passers-by duelists.

Don't think about it!

Why think so much? Just buy, buy, buy!

The players who logged in on the first day actually didn't have many crystals in their hands. They only had the initial crystals given by the account and a pitiful upgrade reward.

So the arrangements of all players became quite consistent afterwards - go and grind, earn crystals, and then hurry back to get a set of novice decks with at least decent strength before the opening of the Duel City Competition!

Of course, there are definitely more than one combination of novice decks to choose from. You Yu put a lot of cards in the low-priced novice area, and players can choose a deck to get through the novice period according to their preferences.

Because You Yu had previously found President Kaiba to propose to modify some of the existing rules of Duel Monsters, the Duel City competition was postponed for another week.

In other words, there are less than two weeks before the official opening.

You Yu carefully calculated the reward level of the players' novice tasks and the players' upgrade speed, and roughly estimated how many crystals each player could earn in two weeks.

Then he set the price according to this standard to ensure that as long as the players work hard within two weeks, they can at least get a suitable novice deck.

You Yu felt that he was a kind person. He was the only NPC who cared about the players so much.

Another point that is different from reality is that in the Linked World, players' choice of cards is not limited to strength and practicality.

The three-dimensional image projection technology makes this card game much more realistic, so the appearance of the duel monsters that was originally irrelevant suddenly becomes important.

Even if some cards are not very strong, as long as they are cute and act cute, they can still gain a lot of favor from players!

Of course, You Yu had already anticipated this, so before the open beta began, he specially collected a batch of cards that were of no use but were just beautifully drawn.

Then as expected, the sand sculpture players were quickly conquered...

"AWSL! The fur is so cute!"

A male player used his duel disk to summon the "White Mage-Rong'er" he had just bought from Youyu - a cute little lolita wearing a white dress and just reaching the waist of most players.

White Mage-Rong'er, star rating 2, attack power 1200. Effect: During your preparation phase, recover basic points equal to the number of monsters on your field x 400 points.

Although it may not be of much use in a duel, it's so cute if you can't stand it!

The little lolita in a white dress, with two pink twintails trailing under her fluffy white hat, holds a mini version of the wand in her hand.

A large group of male players were immediately attracted.

"The three-dimensional image of WOC is so realistic, it's just like the real thing!"

"Can I touch it?"

"Don't be stupid, it's still a three-dimensional image after all..."

"No, no, I want to buy one too. It's too cute! Buy it back and raise it as a daughter!"

"Didn't you just say that there was something wrong with your brain for spending money on such a useless card..."

"Why, do you have any problem with me smelling good now?"

"..."

A group of players were chattering around the little Lolita. The summoned White Mage held the small staff in his hand, tilted his head and blinked at his new master with doubtful big eyes. His little head looked like he was doubting his own. Is there something wrong with the new owner's mind...

"Wow!!! This is so cute!"

The female players also discovered the New World.

A group of girls are currently surrounding a "cotton ball" summoned with a duel disk. The small and exquisite monster looks like a ball of cotton with eyes and a harmless look on its face.

Cotton ball, star rating 1, attack power 200. Effect: If this card is added from your deck to your hand due to the card's effect, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

"I want to buy this too!"

You Yu was trading with the players with a smile on his face, feeling happy in his heart.

Whether it's White Mage or Cotton Ball, they are all cards that are not valuable either in DM's home country or in the system's card pool.

But so what? Being cute means you can do whatever you want!

Appearance is justice!

At this moment, I suddenly heard some sandbox players asking: "Hey, do you think it will be possible to buy the Dark Magician Girl in the future?"

Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, it's my first love! Even if there is something to sell, I will buy it! I will buy it like crazy!"

You Yu glanced at the black magician girl floating like a ghost behind him, and felt happy in his heart.

Sorry, I've already reserved this one.

I suggest you go to bed as soon as possible, dear, after all, there is everything in your dreams.
