If the players who passed by earlier lit up with excitement when they saw Youyu, and Heart Flying with the Wind was only suspicious about this NPC's identity, now he was completely sure.
This must be a very important NPC, maybe even a protagonist of a Yu-Gi-Oh! series!
Although he hadn't watched the anime, he'd heard that the first generation Yu-Gi-Oh! DM protagonist was Muto Yugi. In the next series, the protagonist was called something like Judai of the Ninth or Twentieth Generation, which he vaguely remembered.
However, he hadn't heard of the subsequent protagonists with colorful hair and increasingly peculiar art designs. He only heard that they all seemed to have "You" in their names.
...Hmm?
At this moment, Heart Flying with the Wind focused his attention for the first time on the name "Youyu."
"!"
The Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist is actually beside me.JPG!
His gaze towards Youyu immediately changed.
It became a bit like... like how in his previous life, when he teamed up with Youyu, he would follow behind with a "looking up to a high-level player" expression.
But the tables have turned, and now Youyu is the one being admired.
"Not bad." Youyu smiled, put away his Duel Disc, and walked forward, "Your card deck is very interesting. I've never seen such a powerful deck.
Is it called... Gladiator Beasts? Could I take a look?"
While speaking, Youyu had edited a mission and sent it over.
Heart Flying with the Wind immediately saw the task confirmation screen pop up in front of him. The mission title was "Trading Request from World Protagonist, First Champion of the Duel City Tournament, Champion of the World's Premier Duel Event KC Cup, First Duel King Youyu."
Heart Flying with the Wind was instantly shocked by the long string of titles in the task panel, and his gaze towards Youyu became even more astonished.
Is this NPC... really that big of a deal!?
Wow, such a long title, if it were stuck on top of his head like an ID, the ID frame wouldn't be long enough, right?
At this moment, Heart Flying with the Wind focused again and found that this NPC was actually a bit handsome!
No, quite handsome indeed!
The last time they met he was busy hurrying on his way, and just now he was preoccupied with the card game, he hadn't noticed.
Indeed, he must have a significant background!
However, this innocent little player didn't know that all those mission titles were actually manually edited by the NPC in front of him, he could write whatever he wanted...
If Youyu wished, he could have even changed the mission title to something like "Special Member of the Avengers in Domino City, Duelman" without any problem.
So Youyu felt that he was relatively sincere and low-key as an NPC.
At least the titles he wrote in the mission panel were all true upon strict scrutiny.
...Well, maybe except for the "World Protagonist" one, only for this title did Youyu feel slightly guilty...
Heart Flying with the Wind just skimmed through the task content, and caught sight of the long string of numbers following the experience and Crystal Stones rewards for completing it, he was shocked once again.
Ah, this... isn't this too much?
It's not on the same level as any other mission rewards since he started playing!
He roughly estimated. With his current leveling efficiency and task completion rate, it would probably take him half a month to earn the reward for this task.
He didn't know that Youyu had put all of his available experience for the day into this one task.
With Youyu's current level and status boosts, the amount of experience he could distribute each day to players was, of course, far different from the early days of the server launch.
In a previous life, Gladiator Beast was a unique card deck owned by Heart Flying with the Wind, and until Youyu entered the game world, he hadn't heard of anyone else possessing this deck.
So although Youyu didn't know how this hidden storyline was triggered or its difficulty, the value of this unique deck was certainly immeasurable.
Although Youyu only needed any card with "Gladiator Beast" in its field and didn't need to take the entire deck, he felt that to share cards, one should at least show enough sincerity.
Youyu didn't think that offering just a day's worth of experience amounted to a fair exchange.
After all, experience is something that, as long as you're willing to grind, you'll eventually get. But the card deck in Heart Flying with the Wind's hand is equivalent to a Martial Arts Manual, not something you can get with money or effort.
The card decks in the Linked World are like the ultimate skills in martial arts games. Once you learn something like Great Shift of Heaven and Earth or Eighteen Dragon Suppressing Palms, even if other players with superior game mechanics and entry-level skills like "Emperor's Long Fist" try to challenge you, they wouldn't stand a chance.
Indeed, Heart Flying with the Wind seems a bit hesitant upon seeing the trade mission: "This..."
But it's okay. Youyu indicates that he has unlimited copies of cards that players can never grind out.
"How about this," Youyu cheerfully brought out a "Pot of Greed," which had been sitting forever in his store, "The 'Gladiator Beast Andal' you used earlier, is it a bear?
Honestly, I'm quite interested in the design of that card's image, how about I trade you with this card?"
Gladiator Beast Andal is a Normal Monster with an attack of 1900 and the only Normal Monster in the Gladiator Beast deck.
Offering a timelessly forbidden Pot of Greed for a Normal Monster card, how's that for sincerity?
Even the onlookers were stunned.
Pot of Greed! That's the Pot of Greed, revered by card players for years as a Divine Artifact!
Even though it seemed this card had been in Youyu's store since the beta test, it had always acted like a carrot on a stick to motivate silly players to work hard.
The price being high wasn't the biggest issue; no price could dampen the players' enthusiasm; they always found a way to afford it.
The largest barrier between the players and the invincible "Pot of Greed" was Youyu's favorability level...
It was said that Youyu's favorability becomes harder to increase as it gets higher, and if ignored for too long, it might even drop.
Also, many believed that it was harder for male players to increase favorability compared to the girls.
As a result, there were even posts on the forum where players brainstormed the idea if someone would "convert" Youyu for the benefit of all male players...
However, the creator of that post seemed to disappear by the next day, and nobody knew what happened.
Even though the Pot of Greed continues to hold an unparalleled status among players, in Youyu's eyes now...
...it's just so-so.
After all, with Cards From the Sky, he could instantly draw six cards, and Reckless Greed five cards, while Magic of Pot grants three stable draws, accompanied by other divine cards.
In comparison, the Pot of Greed, which only draws two cards, is just so-so? (Do you hear? What do people say?)
It's just considering that Cards From the Sky and Magic of Pot have the risk of giving resources to the opponent, the Pot of Greed still held a bit of an edge...
Unexpectedly, Heart Flying with the Wind still seemed in doubt after seeing the offer: "Ah this..."
Youyu frowned slightly.
Still not enough?
But no problem, he had more treasures hidden in his stash...
Just as Youyu was about to pull out another treasure to persuade, Heart Flying with the Wind opened his mouth again: "This... this ... isn't this too much???"
Youyu: "..."
Suddenly it felt like losing a billion...
