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

You Yu counted the trophies collected from Pandora one by one.

According to the rules of the Duel City era, each duelist's deck must have at least forty cards, but Pandora only used a dozen or so cards when she dueled Muto Yugi in the DM anime.

Now You Yu took his entire deck and took a look, and found that although Pandora claimed to be a "pure black magician" deck, there were only a few cards related to black magicians in his deck.

Three Black Magicians, one Magic Card Thousand Knives, one Black Magic Curtain, and one Black Demon Resurrection Coffin.

Thousand Swords, a normal magic card, can be activated by targeting 1 monster on the opponent's field when there is a "Black Magician" on your field. The opponent's monster is destroyed.

Curtain of Black Magic is a normal magic card. During the turn this card is activated, both players can pay half their base points to Special Summon 1 Magician-type monster from their respective hands and decks.

The Coffin of the Dark Demon's Resurrection is a normal trap card. It is activated when the opponent player summons a monster. It uses that monster and one of its own monsters as sacrifices to resurrect a Dark Demon in the graveyard.

(The above are all animation effects)

You Yu inserted the cards seized from Pandora into the duel plate and tried them out. He was pleasantly surprised to find that these cards seemed to work!

You know, in previous games that connected the world, players could only use cards obtained from the system card library or mission rewards. Just like You Yu did just now, if you directly grab the NPC's deck and place it on the duel plate, there will be no reaction.

You Yu speculated that maybe it was because he became an NPC after rebirth, so now he can use locally produced cards like other NPCs.

At the same time, it comes with a player's game panel, and can also obtain cards from the system card pool just like players.

In other words, he has become a kind of existence between the player and the NPC, and can use cards produced in the game and the system at the same time.

The only regret is that the only three "Black Magicians" in the Pandora deck showed no response after being placed on the Duel Disk.

You Yu wasn't sure what the specific reason was, but he guessed that it might be related to Pandora's manipulation of these three cards. It was explained in the animation that Pandora's three Black Magicians were slightly cut by him, so that he could cheat when shuffling the cards before the duel and ensure that he could draw his ace Black Magician in his starting hand.

Maybe it was because he had tampered with the cards a little bit that the duel disk that came with the system did not recognize these three cards.

But it doesn't matter, he also has a "Black Magician" as a reward for completing the task, which is lying quietly in his card library at the moment.

In addition, completing the mission and defeating Pandora also gave him a lot of experience points as rewards. The character jumped directly from level 1 to level 3 in one breath, and received a reward of 40 crystal stones.

Crystals can be drawn from card packs in the system card pool, but for Link World, 40 crystals is really a drizzle, and this reward is not enough to fill the gap.

...

The misty night gradually dissipated, and the sky gradually broke into dawn. The streets of Dou Ye Minoru woke up lazily, and pedestrians began to appear in the empty blocks.

This is the second day after You Yu's rebirth.

The first goal today—find a place where you can eat and sleep.

After all, if people don’t eat, they will die.

No matter how good you are at playing cards, you still have to be right.

Salary or anything else doesn't matter, he just needs a place to rest for a short period of time. After all, in Yu-Gi-Oh's worldview, as long as you can play cards, you won't have to worry about making money later on.

After wandering around the streets in the early morning for a long time, You Yu quickly stopped in front of a card store.

The back of the store window is filled with Duel Monster card boxes, and a "Waiter Wanted" notice is posted at the top.

You Yu thought for a while and walked straight in.

The store door was open, but it looked like it had only been open for a short while, after all, it was only just getting light at the moment.

The space in the store is quite large. The shelves are like bookshelves in a library, but rows and rows are filled with card bags and card boxes. Some of the shelves also have replica figures of popular duel monsters and other peripheral products.

"welcome."

The girl's clear voice came from behind the rows of shelves.

What appeared from behind was a girl with short, neck-length hair. She had rare silver hair. Her expression was blank and she looked a little immature. She was not tall, and she looked like a junior high school student.

You Yu was surprised by the striking silver hair at first, but then he thought about it - in this worldview, the protagonist Muto Yugi wears a colorful starfish head to school all day long, and no one thinks it is inappropriate. Compared with the silver hair, Seems pretty normal?

So compared to this, what seems to be more noteworthy... is the maid outfit this girl is wearing.

Yes, the white lace skirt and tight black stockings perfectly outlined the outline of the girl's calves, with a big white bow tied on the back.

No matter how you look at it, it is a standard maid outfit with regional characteristics.

What's even more interesting is that when the girl appeared from behind the shelf and saw You Yu for the first time, You Yu noticed a string of "Favorability +10" words appearing above her head.

You Yu: "..."

Sure enough, being handsome has its benefits.

Even though he didn't do anything, he already had 10 favorability points after meeting him for the first time.

I remember when I was a player, I spent a lot of time trying to increase the favorability of the NPC in the mission. It took me a long time to run errands and play cards, and it took me more than half a week to get a pitiful "favorability +5".

At that time, I thought this was such a crappy game that it made my scalp numb. Now that I think about it, it might not be the game's fault, it might be that I was ugly in the first place...

However, the maid's professionalism seemed to be in place. She clearly had a favorable impression on her face, but Furui Muha didn't react at all, and only gave a standard salute to the guest.

"Hello, would you like to buy a card or some coffee?"

It turns out there is coffee.

Only then did You Yu notice that this seemed to be more than just a card shop. There were tables and seats nearby. Guests could order coffee drinks and sit here to read... or play cards.

Of course, such high-end technology as stereoscopic imaging is not available in small stores. Playing cards in the store is actually similar to the real world where friends from a board game club gather around a table and find a card mat to play cards. It is a leisure and entertainment activity. .

"No need." You Yu pointed to the notice posted on the window outside, "I just saw that you are short of people here, so I wanted to apply."

"Oh, that's right." The girl nodded, "Okay, but you need an interview."

"Then the interview is at...?"

"Just now."

The girl said as she walked behind the counter and took out a small black-covered notebook from the drawer. She spread the book and placed it on her slender and white wrist. She took out a button-type ball pen with her other hand and pressed out the pen tip with her thumb.

You Yu was a little surprised: "Right here...do you want to ask a question?"

He subconsciously looked around and found that there seemed to be no one else in the store.

The girl raised her head expressionlessly: "Can't I?"

"No...nothing."

You Yu just felt that this girl looked a little too young and didn't look like a store manager.

"Let's start with the name," she said.

"Youyu."

"Outlander?"

"Um."

"age?"

"......nineteen."

He made up the age and stuff. Because if you answer honestly, his account has only been established for a day, and technically speaking, it is only one day old... But the other party will definitely not believe it if he says it.

"...Nineteen, two years older than me..." The girl muttered to herself.

You Yu noticed that the words "Favorability +5" popped up on the little silver head.

You Yu: "?"

What did I do?

The girl's eyes then fell on the duel disk in his left hand.

"Are you a duelist?" she asked.

"Yes." You Yu nodded.

"Then why do you want to work?"

You Yu: "Duelists... also have to catch up."

The girl's facial muscles didn't move at all, but her eyes stared at him for a long time, which made You Yu even feel a little uncomfortable.

But she didn't say anything, lowered her head again, and continued to write something in the small notebook.

[Favorability +5]

You Yu: "??"

What did I do again?

"Then one last question."

The girl's writing stopped and her voice was calm: "...Do you have a girlfriend?"

You Yu: "..."

Are you applying for a job or checking your household registration?

Does this really have anything to do with my job search?

However, considering that he was now the applicant, he answered truthfully: "No."

This sentence is completely truthful, so truthful that it is even a bit tragic - because even if his past life experiences are taken into account, this is a truth that cannot be faulted.

"Oh, no." The girl nodded.

[Favorability +10]

You Yu: "??????"
