I'm playing cards in Duel City

When the player with the ID "Xuelang" on his head opened his eyes, he had already landed in an open field in the wilderness.

Xuelang was a little dazed.

Is this already in the game?How does it feel like in reality?

He caught a glimpse of the duel disc that was automatically put on after creating the number in his hand, and he was convinced that he had indeed logged into the "Linked World" game.

Woc, this game is too real, right?

This sense of manipulation of the virtual character's body, touching objects, and even the touch of the breeze blowing at night.

Even the feeling can be reproduced so vividly, Xuelang suspects that after staying in this game for a long time, he might not be able to distinguish the game from reality.

But the key is...

... Isn't this supposed to be a card game?

Before the game's publicity was overwhelming, a consortium boasted about how great a technological breakthrough the game had made and what an awesome sense of real experience it had. Most players still thought it was bragging.

In any case, it should be a collectible card game in essence. MRPG elements are secondary, and the game production is not expected to be much stronger.

But now it seems that the production of this card game really seems to have something!

Xuelang took a glance and found that there seemed to be no other players around - it was nothing strange.It is said that the number of places for the internal test is only a few hundred, and it is normal for hundreds of players to be randomly thrown in and unable to find each other.

However, according to the game's official instructions, the beta players should log in at the main stage of the animation—near Tongshiye City.

Judging from this, the brightly lit modern city not far from him should be Tongshiye City.

After judging the direction clearly, Xuelang stopped hesitating and headed towards the city while jumping and rolling.

Chapter No.17 Where Bones Fight

Xuelang was walking on the busy street, looking at the pedestrians, the colorful neon lights, and the beautiful young lady in cool clothes (crossed out), she couldn't help being shocked for a moment.

Wow, the details are so realistic and in place, right?Is this really a poker game?

An unscrupulous consortium that has been thinking about selling cards all day is willing to spend a lot of money to make such a conscientious game?I'm afraid it's not time travel, right?

He suddenly remembered something, and hastily and nervously stretched out his hand to touch his body...

...Phew, it's okay, the tools are still there.

I just don't know how the function is, whether there are any restricted game items in the game and so on.

But all the way here from outside the city, he didn't seem to see other players.

This is nothing surprising.It is said that there are only less than 1000 people in total for the closed beta, so throwing such a small number of people in such a big city is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and it's normal if you don't meet them.

The internal test quota is randomly selected from players from many countries around the world. With such a huge base, only less than 1000 people are selected in total. If the black box operation is excluded, all the players who are drawn are the European Emperor.

However, although players come from all over the world, language and writing will not be a problem.

This is a problem that has been solved long after the development of stealth online games. Players can choose their own familiar language and interface to play in the game.Everything that players come into contact with during the game will be translated into the text they are familiar with, and the communication and dialogue are also handled by the game's built-in translation system, without any obstacles.

In addition, it is quite easy for players to judge each other's identities.One is that players have IDs on their heads. In theory, only players can see each other's IDs.

The second is that players walk differently from normal people.It's as if there is scorching hot magma under the floor in the game. Players like to jump after a few steps, and occasionally they may even roll on the spot.

It is said that this inexplicable tradition was left before the penetration technology was popularized.Players back then could only rely on keyboard and mouse devices to play games, and players in those days were especially fond of the two commands "jump" and "roll".

Later, although stealth technology became popular and everyone no longer used keyboard and mouse to play games, this "fine tradition" was passed down by generations of players like feelings.

Xuelang wandered the streets of the city with a face full of novelty, looking around like a countryman entering the city, as if everything he saw was novel.

For a moment he even forgot that he was playing a card game...until he wandered aimlessly into a dueling hall in the center of town.

Only then did Xuelang suddenly realize that—wait a minute, I seem to be here to play cards?

"The duelist over there."

Xuelang, who had just walked in the door with a dazed expression, followed the prestige, and at a glance, he saw a man with a square face, a passer-by and a mighty figure walking slowly towards this side.

"A new face you haven't seen in the museum, did you come to this area recently?" the man asked.

Is it a plot?

Xuelang was puzzled, and nodded at the same time: "Yes."

"Then shall we fight a duel?"

"Okay!"

As a player, there is of course no reason to refuse the NPC challenge.He speculates that this may be part of a tutorial for newcomers to the game.

The two sides quickly came to the open space and stood at the designated positions.

"Duel!" x2

It wasn't until the duel board opened and five starting cards were drawn from the deck that Xue Lang suddenly realized a shocking fact——

——He forgot to confirm what cards were in his initial deck.

When creating the account, the system asked him to choose the initial deck, but he glanced at it and felt that every deck was similar, so he chose a deck at random and started the game directly, and he forgot to check it until now.

Now let's see what he got with all five of his starting hands...

Catworm, Thunder Eel, Land Warrior, Angry Sea King, Mountain Warrior...

Aren't these special meows all mortal bones! ?

It's fine if they're all mortal bones, why is there not even one with an attack power over [-]?

Looking around, the strongest monster in his hand seems to be the "angry sea king". It is also a whiteboard without any special effects. The description of the card is "the great sea king, arouses a never-ending tsunami to engulf the enemy" .

Xuelang wanted to complain at that time——you fucking fish monster with only 800 attack power, who do you want to swallow?

As the great king of the sea, it doesn't even have a "talking to fish" monster effect, but it's too bad, right?

In other words, this broken card group doesn't even have a monster with an attack power of more than [-]...

No, no, it must be that his face was too dark this time and his hand accident... That's right, it must be like this.

Now let the opponent see the bond between the real duelist and the deck!

"Attack first and I'll take it, draw cards!"

Adhering to the principle of working hard to create miracles, Xuelang used the greatest strength in his life to draw out his sixth miracle card from the deck...and everyone was dumbfounded.

Nianli kappa, attack power 400, defense power 1000.Card description: A kappa who can use a variety of superpowers to avoid attacks.

Xuelang: "..."

Forget it, give this one up.Anyway, novices are the first ones, and the right is to pay the tuition.

"I am defending to summon the Nianli Kappa, and the round is over."

[Nianli Kappa, defense power 1000]

Xuelang was too lazy to struggle.He just hoped that the NPC on the opposite side would knock him down quickly, so that he could confirm what was going on with his initial deck.

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

Looking at the cards in his hand, Xuelang actually showed a very tangled expression——Xuelang couldn't help but wonder why he was so entangled with only a mortal bone with a defense power of 1000 on the field.

Then I saw a card played on the opposite side: "...I summon the combat fighter-Artimite, attack means!"

[Fighting fighter-Artimite, attack power 700]

Then the other party gritted his teeth as if reconciled: "Tch, the combat power of fighters is not as high as Nianli Kappa, my round is over."

Xuelang: "?"

Brother, are you kidding me?

You can't solve my white board with a defense power of 1000?

"My turn," Xuelang said, "then I will summon the angry Sea King!"

[Angry Sea King, attack power 800]

"Let's go, angry sea king's attack! Explosive kill!"

The angry Sea King rushed forward with a roar, and raised the harpoon in his hand without saying a word... Oh no, it was the divine weapon trident, which buried the fighting fighters on the opponent's field under the halberd with one blow.

"Woo!" The NPC duelist raised his hand to protect his face.

【Passerby, LP 4000→LP 3900】

Xuelang suddenly realized that maybe this hand could still be played.

Because the card on the opposite side...maybe even better than him!

……

After twenty rounds of dragon (cai) fight (ji) and tiger (hu) fight (zhuo), the battle between the two sides has officially entered a fierce stage!The whole duel situation was extremely thrilling, the duelists on both sides killed Zheng Rong, and the LPs who were biting each other did not let go...

In the end, Xuelang was superior in skill and won the duel in a thrilling manner.

(In fact, I finally drew a great white shark with an attack power of 1600, and then the opponent couldn't solve it...)

After the duel was over, Xue Lang wiped off his sweat, feeling that it was the first time in his life that this kind of duel between mortal bones could be fought so intensely...

He then walked around the Dueling Hall for a short time, and found that most of the duelists here seemed to be similar.

The NPCs seem to just keep hitting the white board monsters to slash. The deck is completely a pile of cards. There is no construction or combo at all, and even magic and trap cards seem to be rare.

Those stronger passers-by are just some high-attack or high-star monsters. After watching the battle for a while, I couldn't help but think——

——As long as I have an electronic dragon in my hand...

Soon he noticed that a large group of people had gathered in the battle area not far away, with three floors inside and three floors outside, and the venue was completely blocked.

what's going on?Are you running a game?

Xuelang quickly approached and casually asked a passer-by in the crowd: "Well, may I ask what's going on here?"

The man explained enthusiastically: "Tonight, someone is challenging the new dueling king of this dueling hall! The fight has already begun!"

Duel King?

Xuelang's eyes lit up.

Could it be the protagonist Yugi Muto?

He didn't realize that he automatically ignored the prefix "this dueling hall".

Xuelang squeezed in desperately, barely seeing the duelists between the two sides through the cracks.

On the left field area is a muscular man with a bare upper body, dark skin and extremely strong muscles (why do you have to take off your clothes when playing cards).But this one looks like a dragon and can be ignored directly.

As for the duelist standing on the right, Xue Lang's first reaction was——

——Holy shit, so handsome!

He can clearly see that this person's painting style is different from other NPCs at first glance. At first glance, he is the object that the artist has taken care of, and there is a high probability that he is an important character in the game.

Is it an important plot NPC?

"Fight!" The young duelist on the right spoke up, shouting loudly, "Elemental Hero Nova Lord, attack directly!"

Xuelang almost fell down in shock.

He just said elements... what! ?

Chapter 18 Come Zhang Fusion

What did he just say?

Elemental heroes?

Are there elemental heroes in the era of Yu-Gi-Oh DM?

Xuelang quickly opened his eyes, and watched in shock that the hero in the red-gold armor and fluttering cloak unleashed a scorching impact with his bare hands.The LP of the muscular guy on the opposite side instantly returned to zero under the heat wave.

Impossible to be wrong.

Even if he was in a trance and misheard just now, Xuelang has already recognized the domineering hero monster on the field at this moment——Elemental Hero Nova Lord, which has never appeared in animation or comics. It is an original elemental hero of OCG real card in reality.

But now is the period of Yu-Gi-Oh DM!Shouldn't elemental heroes be a series of cards that became popular only during the GX period?
