Chapter 23: Bottomless, Are You Scared?
Thinking about it carefully, there seem to be only two people in Yu-Gi-Oh! DM who possess the Dark Magician.
One is Yugi Muto, the other is our good colleague, Pandora.
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon is in Joey's hands.
"Unless I can rely on the shop to luckily get these two vanilla spirit cards, otherwise..." Yu Miao thinks about this constantly.
Having a powerful boss monster but being unable to use it is such a pain.
Taking a step back, even if Yu Miao managed to get Dark Magician and Red-Eyes, he doesn't have the most crucial Red-Eyes Fusion.
Red-Eyes Fusion, has the power to perform a Fusion Summon directly from the Deck with one card.
Without Red-Eyes Fusion, it means Yu Miao can only rely on hard-drawing Polymerization.
This difficulty is only slightly lower than Kaiba starting with 3 Blue-Eyes + 1 Polymerization in his hand.
The problem is, Kaiba doesn't shuffle his deck, and he's good at using super glue to stick those cards together.
If you ask, it's the power of bonds!
Yu Miao currently admits that his so-called "bond" level, aka "Duel Spirit" level, isn't that ridiculously high yet.
"Sigh, the future is promising." Yu Miao put away "Dragoon".
Huh?
Yu Miao noticed a solid red dot notification in the upper right corner of the shop interface.
Fortunately, he's the kind of person with a bit of OCD, otherwise he might not have noticed it.
Clicking in.
A new card box, slightly glowing, was stored in the shop interface.
The new card box name is: [Silence is Golden]
Yu Miao immediately licked his lips and hurriedly clicked in to take a look.
The cards in this box are still divided by rarity.
At the top are 3 UR Spell/Trap cards, below is a row of SR cards.
Further down are R and N rarity cards.
"The cards in this box are something else." Yu Miao was a bit surprised. After all, the previous Newbie - ATK/DEF Focus box really shocked him (in a bad way).
These two boxes are fine if not compared, but once compared, this one completely crushes the other!
The URs in the [Silence is Golden] box:
Witch's Strike
Floodgate Trap Hole
Silent Sword Slash
Among the SR cards, Yu Miao saw "Silent Swordsman".
The entire box also includes quite a few generic cards, including the "Silent Swordsman" monster series.
Silent Swordsman, like Silent Magician, is a monster focused on the "LV series."
However, the card "Silent Sword Slash" for Silent Swordsman is quite powerful.
Yu Miao needs this power right now!
Not to mention the despicable "Floodgate Trap Hole."
Except for Link Monsters that cannot be Set, given the current strength of the DM era environment, Floodgate Trap Hole is just too dirty.
"Time to pull." Yu Miao without hesitation invested all his Gems into this box.
The winds of change are blowing in Domino City. Now is the time for you and me to spend money.
Money hasn't left you; it has just turned into something else to accompany you.
Think about it, if you don't spend money, how can you become stronger?
[Gems -500]
[Gems -1000]
Next, Yu Miao's eyes turned red as he frantically drew cards.
His card-drawing appearance was really cool!
After half an hour.
Yu Miao looked at the 3 Floodgate Trap Hole in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"What is this?"
"Telling me to compete with little Yugi for the title of Trap King?"
"Dammit, I want 3 copies of Silent Sword, you son of a..."
The Silent Sword that Yu Miao valued the most wasn't at 3 copies, but he had no Gems left.
Unlocking Dragoon and the shop had emptied him out once; all the Gems he accumulated were gone.
Yu Miao started replacing the cards he drew, and his deck's strength continued to improve!
The time spent building one's own deck is happy, there is no doubt about that.
While replacing various low-ATK vanilla monsters, he found his deck currently follows a Spellcaster-type + Warrior-type route.
Among them, the Silent and LV series are the main forces.
During the DM era, Ritual Monsters were very rare, and LV monsters were no exception.
The fan inside the arcade blew cool air. Yu Miao wiped the sweat from his forehead and placed his newly constructed deck on the table.
This new deck was slowly burning with "flames."
[You focused entirely on constructing a new deck. "Dark Magician Girl" proficiency increased.]
["Silent Magician LV8" proficiency increased.]
"..."
[A deck built by hand is infused with the duelist's spirit. Your Duel Spirit has slightly increased...]
"The deck is everything to a duelist. So that's how it is, I understand." Yu Miao felt the "bond" thing for the first time.
After the exercise, his body felt drained.
Yu Miao stretched, feeling a bit hungry.
He transmigrated to this DM world yesterday at noon. It's morning now, meaning he hasn't eaten for the better part of a day.
The problem also arose: Yu Miao found he had no money at all.
After searching this rundown hideout several times, Yu Miao couldn't even find a single peanut.
That Qiang guy probably ran away overnight, probably scared of Yu Miao, and left Domino City directly.
Sigh, Yu Miao did another good deed, guiding a lost lamb back to the right path.
Immeasurable merit.
The "Sunshine Boy" Marik, hiding inside Keith's body, hasn't been seen by Yousei since morning.
No idea where he went...
Yu Miao took out the key given by the leopard woman, muttering to himself righteously: "A true man cannot remain under someone else's roof for long. Being a freeloader is not my style."
After saying that, Yu Miao got up and opened the arcade's main door.
Today seems to be the weekend. No matter how run-down this arcade is, there should be one or two unlucky souls visiting, right?
"..."
Time passed bit by bit.
Approaching noon.
Yu Miao sat at the entrance of the arcade, looking helpless.
Really, not a single customer came. No wonder this rundown hideout gets no traffic from Ghouls hunters.
Time to close up.
Yu Miao is a duelist. Why not just go duel the restaurant owner?
If he wins, he gets free food and drink.
The world of Yu-Gi-Oh! is truly amazing.
Yu Miao looked delighted, having opened the door to a new world.
However.
At this moment.
A customer appeared.
"Excuse me, do you have a dance machine here?" A pleasant voice sounded.
Téa Gardner was wearing a white sleeveless top, revealing a slim waist that could be encompassed by two hands. A faint smile graced her delicate and pretty face.
Téa?
Yu Miao's expression turned peculiar; this high school girl is the female lead of this anime.
What, you say Yu-Gi-Oh! has no female lead?
Well, Yu Miao thinks that statement isn't wrong either.
"Yes, it's inside." Yu Miao answered truthfully.
Téa likes dancing, so she spends some time on weekends practicing on dance machines at nearby arcades.
But...
"Yugi?" When Téa clearly saw Yu Miao's appearance, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
--Yugi, why is he here?
Since when did he open an arcade?
Can't blame Téa for thinking that; after all, Yu Miao and Yugi Muto look too much alike.
However, as Yugi Muto's official... (companion?).
Téa quickly realized the person in front of her wasn't Yugi.
"Sorry, you look a lot like a friend of mine." Téa apologized for her earlier remark.
"You have a "friend"?" Yu Miao nodded, replying: "I understand."
Téa carefully chewed on Yu Miao's words and found something amiss. Her face slowly started to redden.
Until she explained loudly: "It's true! My friend is named Yugi Muto, and he really looks like you."
It wasn't some cliché pick-up line at all.
