This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

Having acquired his first deck, You Shuo did not return to his school dormitory. Instead, he walked alone on the street, heading towards the largest shopping plaza in Domino City.

His identity as a transmigrator in this world is that of a poor boarding student who has repeated a year.

Having no relatives, he could only rely on subsidies and odd jobs to support himself and complete his studies.

However, from the moment he obtained those duel cards through the system, his days of hardship were completely over!

On the way to the card shop, You Shuo pondered his gains from this trip.

Both Kyoko Masaki and Miho Nosaka have reduced their affection for him to negative values, and he has obtained a total of about one hundred cards.

Selling unwanted cards can earn you a considerable amount of living expenses.

Logically, after dealing with Ryota, You Shuo should have called Nosaka Miho back to explain.

But then, his phone ran out of battery.

Secondly, the reason of being kidnapped sounds rather unconvincing when stated so bluntly.

"Once I've finished the most important things, I'll make it up to the two of them properly."

You Shuo walked and thought.

For Kyoko Masaki, giving her a gift and a proper apology shouldn't be a big problem.

As for Miho Nosaka...

Of course, we should finish what we didn't do today together!

On the streets of Domino City at night, Yu Shuo quickened his pace.

He needs to assemble a decent deck as soon as possible and have the power to defeat Ushio Tetsuya.

"Ding-dong——————"

The bell rang.

You Shuo walked into a Duel Monsters card shop that looked like a supermarket.

Under the bright lights, countless card holders were displayed on the shelves, and in the corners of the store, countless young people were engaged in heated battles.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The saleswoman behind the counter smiled gently.

You Shuo walked over and said, "Sell cards."

The shop assistant glanced at You Shuo and, seeing he was wearing a school uniform, reminded him, "We only buy rare cards. We don't buy ordinary cards... What?!"

She had only spoken halfway when she stared at the cards in You Shuo's hand and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Reversal, the Goddess of Reversal?!"

"It's actually a rare Angel-type card with 2000 defense?!"

"Please wait a moment, let me check the price..."

"Oh, I found it. The current market price is 170,000!"

"Our store is newly opened, and no handling fee will be charged within the first month."

"If you've made your decision, we can give you the money very soon."

The shop assistant's eyes sparkled, and her tone was as gentle as possible.

I don't know if it was because I saw the rare card, or because I saw You Shuo, this handsome and charming high school boy.

170,000...

You Shuo calculated in his mind.

In other words, that's equivalent to over seven thousand yuan in my previous life.

For him now, this is indeed a considerable sum of money.

You Shuo nodded, then took out more than a dozen cards.

"it is good."

"If you don't charge a handling fee, could you please check the prices of these few bills for me as well?"

This surprised not only the female shop assistant, but also a man next to her who had picked out more than a dozen cardholders and was about to pay.

"Powerful Guardian, Mantis Slayer, Eastern Hero..."

"A dragon lurking in a cave?!"

"So many good cards?!"

"Excuse me, does your family own a credit card shop?!"

The shop assistant and the man both had their eyes light up when they saw the monster cards that You Shuo took out, which generally had an attack power of less than 1500.

During the Duel Kingdom era, card pricing was quite peculiar.

Since most monsters have very low attack power, any monster with an attack power of over 1000 can easily fetch a decent price.

Moreover, the type of a monster card is sometimes more important than its numerical value.

Yugi Muto's "City-Defending Wyvern," which can never defend a city, has an attack power of only 1400, yet it is several times more expensive than the "Necromancer Count," which has an attack power of 2000!

The reason is that the city-guarding pterosaur is a noble dragon monster.

During the Duel Kingdom phase, the Dragon race is undoubtedly the strongest race!

Secondly, there are the mage race...

Under the current special rules, the cards that You Shuo is planning to sell are actually quite good.

However, on the way here, You Shuo had already completed his deck construction, and these were not even considered sideboard cards.

Furthermore, the Duel Kingdom era is very short-lived. Once Pegasus is killed and the Duel City era, dominated by Seto Kaiba, begins, the prices of these cards will plummet!

Therefore, making a move now is the wisest decision.

Under the surprised and envious gazes of other customers and the shop assistant, You Shuo disposed of all the unwanted cards and bought some useful new ones.

Just as he was about to go to the table in the corner of the card shop to adjust his deck, a mournful prayer drifted from some direction into the depths of his heart...

Upon hearing that voice, You Shuo paused for a moment, then quickly revealed a look of surprise and delight.

After careful examination, he confirmed it.

The voice came from Card Spirits—a kind of spiritualized, extraordinary creature that exists in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world!

Chapter Six: The more handsome he is, the weaker he is.

Upon discovering the location of the card spirit, You Shuo immediately set off to search for it.

The world of Yu-Gi-Oh! features many different kinds of extraordinary powers.

Millennium artifacts, Orichalcos, Red Dragon... let's leave those aside for now.

The most common are spiritual power and elven power.

The so-called mental strength refers to the higher a duelist's skill level, the stronger their mental will and physical strength.

The most typical example is that Seto Kaiba, with his extremely strong mental power, can jump off a helicopter while holding a person; and Joey Wheeler, a mere mortal without any other power, can withstand divine punishment, but only faints.

The power of spirits, however, is much more mysterious and complex.

In this world, only a very small number of people can sense the existence of the card spirits.

As long as the bond is strong enough, the card spirit can generate cards for the duelist when certain conditions are met.

The Pharaoh's "Magic Hat," "Death Magic Box," and other such items all rely on the card spirit—Dark Magician.

Although Seto Kaiba is a materialist warrior who talks a lot about "science," the creatures he uses later, such as the Abyssal White Dragon and the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, are all special forms derived from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Moreover, the card spirits are like "Pokémon" residing within the cards, possessing all sorts of magical spells and even able to manifest themselves directly to engage in battle.

In the Duel Kingdom arc, Bakura Ryo, who possessed the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, directly summoned the Card Spirit—the Man-Eating Insect—and ruthlessly and easily killed the pursuers sent by Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters…

Three days later, Niuwei Zhe will come to You Shuo to ask for money.

But he would never give a single penny!

While tied up in that abandoned factory, You Shuo had already decided to find a card spirit and obtain its power.

No matter how tall, strong, or skilled Ushio Tetsuya was, he had absolutely no chance to fight back against those powerful and unpredictable elven spells!

In the dark alley, a sobbing prayer echoed in the cold wind.

As You Shuo walked around the corner, he saw a blonde elven girl with a radiant glow and pure white clothes.

She clasped her hands together, bowed her head, and chanted prayers.

The card she was inhabiting lay quietly on the dusty, junk-covered ground.

You Shuo looked around.

Tree Spirit

[Description: A forest spirit. It uses the power of vegetation to restrict the opponent's movements.]

is her?

Most duelists probably don't know much about this spirit.

But You Shuo was deeply impressed.

In a past life, during a shop match, a guy used a ritual version of Treant, Kuriboh, and a multiplication link to summon the Dragon, achieving an amazing and overpowered OTK.

You Shuo will never forget that amazing duel...

One of the Tree Spirit's disguises is that of a ritual monster that can simultaneously possess the five attributes of "Earth", "Fire", "Wind", "Water", and "Light".

Another variant is the Level 9 Special Summon monster, Queen Treant, which possesses the power to negate the Special Summoning of monsters and boasts considerable ATK and DEF.

Unlocking the Elf Queen - Treant form will probably take a very long time.

However, the ritual form – Elf Sorcerer Treant – shouldn't be that difficult.

The effect of considering all five attributes simultaneously may seem somewhat ambiguous, but in the current Duel Kingdom era, it can unleash boundless power!

Because of the unique rules of the Duel Kingdom, there are relationships of restraint between attributes and races.

Being considered as having five attributes means it can counter the vast majority of monster cards!

You Shuo stepped forward, wanting to comfort the elf who looked incredibly sad.

The card-elf girl with dazzling golden hair turned her head at the sound of footsteps, looked at You Shuo, and scrutinized him carefully.

A few strands of his neatly trimmed hair were tossed about by the wind. He had handsome features, a high nose bridge, well-defined lips, and a cool, pale complexion.

The loose school uniform jacket was casually draped over his shoulders, the collar slightly open, revealing his tall and slender figure with clean shoulder lines.

He's an absolute heartthrob.

Looking into the elf's bright, watery eyes, You Shuo smiled gently.

He believed that his presence would bring some comfort to the poor card sprite.

but……
