I'm playing cards in Duel City

Could it be... In fact, the Elemental Heroes series has already been released at this time, but the protagonists in the animation just happen to have never met?

That seems to be the only way to explain it.

Anyone who has a little understanding of the Yu-Gi-Oh series should know that the most famous user of the Elemental Hero deck is Yu-Gi-Oh, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh GX.In the minds of many players and viewers, Judai is basically synonymous with heroes in Yu-Gi-Oh. Whenever you see a hero deck, the first thing you think of is naturally this character.

At this time, Xuelang naturally had the same reaction in his heart.

The time is still in the early days of DM, so there should naturally be no Judai on the stage of the story.

Could it be that this overly handsome NPC has anything to do with Yucheng Judai?

For example... is it Shidai's father who never had the chance to play?

……how is this possible!

Xuelang immediately forced himself to dismiss this unrealistic idea.

A key role, definitely a key role!

Based on his many years of experience in many games requiring superb skills, including but not limited to Zuma, Lianliankan, and Women's Dress Mountains, Xuelang was instantly convinced that he had met a certain key NPC in the game!

Maybe trigger a hidden quest?

Xuelang immediately felt excited.

According to the description of the game party, Link World will be a game with a high degree of freedom.Quoting the original words of the director: "We hope that players will treat the game as a brand new world, because even our development team cannot fully control the development of the storyline. We think this will also be a big part of this game. Highlights."

Although the words "even the development team can't control it" are regarded by most people as deliberately exaggerated by the designer to create gimmicks, it must be unmistakable that the game has a high degree of freedom and a large number of hidden tasks.

……

Of course You Yu also noticed the existence of Xuelang.

As I said before, players have IDs on their foreheads.According to the setting, NPCs cannot see the ID, so this is generally the basis for players to identify each other.

However, You Yu is not an ordinary NPC. He can also see the player ID with his own panel, and can use this to identify the player's identity from the crowd in the first place.

Today's duel was over, and the onlookers dispersed after cheering and booing.You Yu was thinking about how to get in touch with this player first, but he didn't expect that the other party immediately ran over with a very positive face.

You Yu thought for a while, and recalled the opening routines of online game NPCs in his impression.

"A new face, are you a recent duelist?" he asked.

Xuelang nodded quickly.

"Well, can you do me a favor then?"

If it was a normal conversation, making such a request to a stranger who met for the first time would undoubtedly only result in the other party looking crazy.

However, players are such a strange species.

Upon hearing this, Xue Lang's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes! There is no problem at all."

[Do you want to issue a task to the player Xuelang? 】

Sure enough.

At this time, You Yu deeply felt that the primary school teachers really did not lie, and that reading more books is indeed beneficial.Thanks to his extensive reading before traveling, he has read all kinds of routine online novels including "Traveling into an NPC", and he knows all kinds of setting routines like the back of his hand.

Probably because his built-in panel can interact with the player's game panel, he may now be the only NPC in the entire Linked World who can independently edit and release tasks for players.

The specific content of the task and the task rewards can be edited freely. With this task system, he can easily use the rewards to instruct players to do errands for him.

Even if you are not afraid of being disgusted by the players, it may not be impossible to edit strange requirements such as "streaking in circles", "learning to bark like a dog" or even "high ass" in the task panel...

Ahem, of course, You Yu is a serious NPC, so naturally he would not release such boring tasks.

In the task reward part, the rewards that can usually be selected include special props, experience points for upgrading, and crystals for drawing card packs in the system card pool.

Of course, you can also choose to use cards directly as task rewards.

It's just that if you choose props, crystals or cards as rewards, they must all come from You Yu himself.In other words, if the spar is given to the player as a reward, his own spar inventory will decrease.

The same is true for cards, he can only use the cards he already has as rewards for players.

You Yu thought about it for a while, and decided to keep the useful cards for himself.Only those cards that you can’t use yourself, or that have more than three cards in your card library, are suitable to be released as rewards.

(Note: According to Yu-Gi-Oh rules, only three cards with the same name can be placed in a deck.)

There is no way to deduct experience points from yourself, but as an NPC, there is also a limit to the experience points that can be released every day.This upper limit is related to his own level and title status.

The so-called title status refers to the honors obtained in various duel competitions.For example, Jouchi is the runner-up of the Duel Kingdom, and Yugi Muto is the champion of the Duel Kingdom and the only designated Duel King.

If you can have the unique title of Duel King like in the game, the upper limit of experience points that can be released every day should be very impressive.

Emmmm... Sure enough, it is a familiar setting again.

However, such a setting seems reasonable.Otherwise, if you give the player experience, you will still be downgraded. Then You Yu thinks that he can jump repeatedly at level 1 and level 2, repeatedly rubbing the spar rewards given by the upgrade...

After thinking about it, You Yu released the first mission he edited for players.

"I still lack a 'Fusion' magic card here." He said, "Can you help me find a 'Fusion'?"

Chapter 19 Travelers!

"Find Zhang Fusion?"

Xuelang felt a little strange.

Shouldn't the NPCs encountered in the general game novice village give some very simple tasks?For example, let the player move some bricks, bring a few pieces of bread, and so on.

Xuelang has already automatically thought of the old man in the blacksmith's shop in Xinshou Village, waving his hand and saying, "Brother over there, I see you have wonderful bones, help me dig some mines".

However, this NPC needs a fusion... It's like the old man in the blacksmith's shop telling you, little brother, I'm short of a handy sword, why don't you go and fix it for me?

How do you feel that this old grandpa is a little tricky...

No, there must be tricks.

Xuelang quickly started to think about it with his countless brains, and soon felt that he had found the reason——

——The answer is, this is definitely not a novice NPC!

This should be a huge side quest hidden in him—or maybe even a main quest, a key NPC that is very important in the middle and late stages of the game!

It is conceivable that when the player's level increases and the game progresses, basic cards like "Fusion" should be handed over to a dozen.Giving this NPC a piece of fusion should be a very simple condition, and the high probability is the key to starting a series of chain tasks!

But now the problem is coming, although "Fusion" is a worthless card all over the place after playing later... But is there any special meow on his current initial account!

Xuelang was so anxious that he started scratching his ears and cheeks.

How can this be done?

Save this task for now, and bring Zhang Fusion back to pick it up later when the level is higher?

But what if this NPC is snatched away by other players?

He thinks it's very likely.If there is really any important plot hidden in this NPC, it will definitely be noticed soon.

Not to mention that this NPC is so handsome that even a man doubts his life, and it will be a matter of time before other players find out.

So handsome... Ah no, it would be a blood loss for such an important role to be taken first.

Obviously he came first.

Seeing Xuelang sweating profusely there, You Yu took the opportunity to "kindly" ask: "Well, the new duelists from other places are not familiar with the environment yet, don't you know how to get the card?

If you want to buy a card, go to the 'Dream Card Shop' on the side of the road two streets away and you can buy the card you want.A small number of common cards can be bought directly, and most cards can be randomly obtained from the card package. "

That's right, he was advertising the store where he worked.

Although players can't use the cards they bought from the card shop...but they can buy them back and give them to You Yu!

Of course, You Yu will not prostitute other people's cards for nothing, and he will appropriately distribute crystals, experience points and currency (although he does not have any) as rewards for the other party's completion of the task.

Xuelang's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly found a way out.But then he thought of something, and his brows were furrowed again.

Because the currency in this game...he doesn't even have a dime!

No money to spend to open the card bag?

Fortunately, he met You Yu, a model NPC who is considerate, careful and patient, and continued to "teach him well": "Or during special events in some stores, some customers may be randomly given some coupons. With the coupons, you can Exchange it to some cards that you can’t usually buy.”

Xuelang continued to frown.

But even if you say that, how could my new account have coupons...

...Hmm wait a minute, I seem to...really?

Xuelang's eyes lit up, and finally realized this under You Yu's repeated hints.

The new accounts created by each of their players come with coupons presented by the system.

As mentioned earlier, the NPC number You Yu also has gift coupons.However, his coupons were exchanged for the magic card "Witch Hunt", which was designed to kill magicians, and he cheated Pandora hard. Not only did he get a mission reward "Black Magician", he also took Pandora by the way. The entire set of cards.

The gift card coupons can't be exchanged for anything useful, and You Yu's card coupons are already worth the money.

That's right, now he is eyeing the gift card that comes with the player's initial account...

Do I want to exchange the coupons for "Fusion" directly?

Xuelang opened the list of card pools that can be exchanged for coupons, checked back and forth several times, and began to get entangled.

Even if I keep this coupon... it seems that I can't exchange it for anything useful?

How about...just give it to this NPC?

But I'm still hesitant, because after all, it's a gift for the novice period, and there's only one piece in total, and it will be gone after sending it out...

After struggling for a while, he raised his head, saw the clear eyes of the NPC in front of him, and suddenly made a decision.

NND, a real man hesitates with a hammer, just punch it and it's over!

used!

【Accept the mission from Duelist You Yu? 】

You Yu?

Seeing the name appearing in the task pop-up window in front of him, Xuelang gasped.

woc is still an NPC of the "you" generation!

Everyone knows the two laws of Yu-Gi-Oh, anyone whose name is Yu-Gi is a monster, and anyone whose name is You-Gi and whose hairstyle resembles a certain kind of animal or plant is a monster among monsters.

For example, the hairstyles of Yugi, Youcheng, Yusei, Yuma, and Yuya correspond to starfish, jellyfish, crabs, lobsters, and tomatoes... (It seems that there are more aquatic products?)

Steady, steady, an NPC as handsome as an illustration in a light novel, using a famous elemental hero...even a wanderer!It's not important, NPC Xuelang doesn't even believe it, okay?

Without saying a word, Xuelang immediately chose to accept the task.Then he exchanged his only card coupon for magic card fusion without hesitation, and gave it to You Yu as a mission item.

You Yu took the fusion card and nodded slightly.

Yes, children can be taught.

The card coupons that come with the new system account are really not worth redeeming, Fusion is already the only card that is useful to You Yu.

In this way, as long as he goes to cheat again... Ah no, it is to issue a mission to the next lucky player, and he will collect all three fusion cards.

He didn't give spar rewards for the first mission (after all, he himself is in short supply of these things), and of course he didn't have any money, after all, he didn't even get his first month's salary.Therefore, he gave Xuelang more than 300 points of experience rewards from the daily quota.

Of course, it is impossible to cheat players.

People who do business pay attention to word of mouth, and it's the same when being an NPC.You Yu is well versed in the principles of sustainable development. If the leeks are cut too hard and the player's reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to make money in the future.

The benefits still have to be given, and only by letting the players see that they are doing well with themselves can they keep them for a long time... Ah no, it's these respectable duelists.

But he is too lazy to go back and open the card pack now, so it's better to fill up the three fusion cards first.

Although it is a cheap basic magic card, it is still very important for the hero deck.

So he took out a leaflet with the address of "Dream Card Shop" printed on it: "I need some help with something. Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, if you are interested, bring as many friends as possible to come here to find me."

It really is a chain mission!

Xuelang was overjoyed, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He didn't stop until the NPCs had left the venue and disappeared out of sight.

Chapter 20 There's No Escape From Jay

Leaving the dueling hall, Xuelang started searching all over the city overnight to find friends who would log in and play cards together.
