Teyvat, Liyue Harbor.
"Wow!"
"Since when did Liyue Harbor have such a huge shop!?"
"A Duel Monsters specialty shop?!"
"Monsters?!"
The young girl jumped in shock, and even the Taoist-style hexagram hat on her head shook in the air, nearly falling to the ground.
The source of the voice was none other than the one everyone in Liyue knew—the famous Hu Tao!
Just by appearance, Hu Tao seemed like nothing more than a mischievous, cheerful girl.
But who would have thought she was actually a legendary figure!?
Both the master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and a renowned poet of Liyue, every one of Hu Tao's identities was extraordinary.
She always appeared and disappeared in a flash, like sparks and lightning, igniting everything the moment she showed up.
Writing poetry at midnight, running about in the daylight, wandering through mountains and seas, at ease in every gesture.
Not only that…
She could show up anywhere, anytime.
In the streets and alleys, in desolate mountains, under bright skies or dark nights… anything and everything could become the inspiration for her whims.
And now!
Hu Tao and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's consultant, Zhongli, had both appeared in front of a shop in Liyue Harbor that occupied about 400 square meters.
On the shop sign, it read [Duel Monsters Specialty Shop].
Hu Tao pointed at the Duel Monsters Specialty Shop and said to Zhongli:
"This shop is so big!"
"Could it be trying to steal business from my Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!?"
"Zhongli!"
"Quickly follow your master inside to investigate!"
"..."
Zhongli sighed softly, just about to speak—then, abruptly, before he could utter a word—
Hu Tao already dashed forward in a flash, sprinting straight into the shop.
Before Hu Tao arrived, the entrance of the shop had already been surrounded by many Liyue citizens and traveling merchants from other regions. Yet none dared to go inside.
The onlookers were filled with curiosity about this huge store that had suddenly appeared!
However, at the same time, they feared the unknown… All were hesitating, debating whether to enter or not.
Because of those two words—Duel Monsters.
It didn't exactly… sound safe.
Despite that, seeing Hu Tao charge in at the lead, those who had been wavering all followed her in together!
After all…
Who doesn't love to watch a commotion~
…
Hu Tao charged in at the front, leading the way as she entered the Duel Monsters Specialty Shop.
The shop's interior space… was even larger than it looked from the outside!
Hu Tao quickly swept her gaze around the shop.
Inside, apart from a clearly defined sales counter, three separated areas looked like high-end equipment, each area with over twenty divided squares.
At either end of the areas stood a small platform.
On those platforms were slots that looked like they could hold cards.
They looked… like places where people could stand.
Seeing the many advanced facilities inside the store, not only was Hu Tao bewildered—even Zhongli couldn't make sense of it.
He only knew these things were far from simple!
Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes sparkled with curiosity, eager to figure out what this shop was really for.
"Duel Monsters?!"
"Where are the monsters?!"
"Just what kind of shop is this…"
The people buzzed with chatter, turning the once quiet Duel Monsters Specialty Shop noisy.
At that moment—
A young man appeared, carrying a box.
He walked leisurely out of the shop's storeroom.
"Welcome—"
"Grand opening today, everything is 10% off…"
The young man's voice was clear and refreshing, like a spring breeze.
Though Zhongli had met countless people in his life, even he couldn't see through this young man's depth.
His intuition told him—this young man was anything but ordinary!
Otherwise, there was no way someone could silently open such a massive shop in Liyue Harbor overnight!
Hu Tao, hearing the young man's words, her reddish-brown eyes glowing, bent down to bring her face close to his.
Her tone brimmed with curiosity.
"Are you the owner of this shop?!"
...
Faced with Hu Tao's question, Luya nodded.
Just last night, he had transmigrated.
Before the transmigration, Luya and his grandfather ran a Yu-Gi-Oh! card shop. Business was decent, with regulars coming to crack packs and duel as they earned over 20,000 yuan a month, living comfortably.
As his grandfather grew older and reached retirement age, he entrusted the shop, along with four copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon and five pieces of Dark Magician parts, to Luya.
Yesterday, just as Luya closed the shop…
A flash of light erupted, and he fainted.
When he woke up again, he was in Teyvat!
Not only that—
Luya had also bound to a system called the Yu-Gi-Oh! Popularization System.
The system directly granted Luya a Yu-Gi-Oh! card shop located in Liyue Harbor, tasking him with managing it…
And furthermore, to spread Yu-Gi-Oh! across all of Teyvat!
Once Yu-Gi-Oh! became widespread enough in Teyvat, Luya would gain the ability to travel freely between Blue Star and Teyvat.
...
What's more, as long as he was inside the shop, Luya was invincible. There was no way anyone could rob cards from the store!
The system's gifted shop was filled with advanced technology and wide-open space.
Inside were three duel arenas for customers to duel in.
Plus, the shop's total area was more than ten times larger than the one he inherited from his grandfather before transmigrating!
And the duel arenas inside could actually summon Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters into reality!!!
This made Luya… incredibly excited about popularizing Yu-Gi-Oh! in Teyvat.
And as luck would have it, early this very morning… he encountered Hu Tao and Zhongli wandering the mortal world.
Not only that—they had brought him a whole wave of customers.
'Thank you, bountiful souls!'
'Today's profits are secured!'
