Chapter 335 Card Building
Chapter 335 Card Building
The skinny old man must be Master Zhao. Behind him is a simple van with the words "Zhao Zhao's Wonderful House" written on it in crooked handwriting. It seems this is his card shop.
"What are you standing there for, old man? Hurry up and go sell the cards!"
Yes! Yes!
The cowherd kicked Master Zhao, who quickly entered the cargo box through the back door. He then lowered a panel on one side of the box, creating a makeshift counter. Master Zhao peeked out; behind him were a collection of simple cardholders, mostly of low rarity, hanging on the inner wall of the box.
Di Xing stepped forward and said, "Master Zhao, don't be nervous, everything will be alright. Your cardholders are all in very good condition."
Hearing this, Master Zhao immediately said proudly, "Of course! I treat them like family!" Di Xing glanced at the card packs; they were all cheap, low-rarity packs. He decided to get a few more of the same type of red card packs as before, and then...
"Huh?" Di Xing noticed the lower-level card packs, mainly featuring the Angel series, in the corner.
"Master Zhao, I'd like to order those card packs too."
In this way, Di Xing quickly collected 15 packets.
"Thank you, Master Zhao, but you'd better change the shop's name, otherwise a big black and white rat might come looking for you."
"???"
Di Xing said goodbye to Master Zhao, then turned to Du Shuqiang and said, "I've finished buying, it's your turn."
Du Shuqiang walked toward the card shop with a wicked grin, followed by a large group of male escorts.
Du Shuqiang casually picked out 15 packs of cards, then turned to leave. However, one of his male escorts immediately stepped forward and started buying cards as well.
"What are you doing?" Shi Xun sensed something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to protest, "Didn't you say each person could only buy 15 packs?"
"Yes, each person can only buy 15 packs, but it didn't say that only the two of us could buy them!"
"You cheated!"
"This isn't cheating; it's called making fair use of the rules."
"Damn it!" Xiao Yi was so angry he was practically on fire. He hurriedly said to his friends, "Quick, let's go buy cards too!"
But the card shop was already surrounded by the group of men in black, and they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Soon, the group of men in black bought out all the cards in the card shop. Then, several of them approached Du Shuqiang with about 50 card packets.
Those card holders had huge dice drawn on them; the printing alone indicated they were very high-end.
"How could that card shop possibly have such a high-end card holder?" Opal immediately protested.
"Of course there are. I arranged for my men to sell them to this old man for one copper coin each before the competition started."
"What!?"
"You forced me to buy it!" Master Zhao was trembling with anger.
"Anyway, I didn't break any rules. Okay, go ahead and build your deck!"
The people of Akihabara were furious and all turned to look at Mi Nuo.
However, Mi Nuo smiled and glanced to the side, waving to signal the game to continue.
Having no other choice, everyone followed Mi Nuo's gaze and saw that she was looking at Di Xing.
Di Xing was now sitting on the ground, happily opening his card pack and immersing himself in the world of deck building.
"Silly Star, didn't you hear that? He's trying to renege!" Ai Xiao said angrily.
Di Xing didn't even look up. "I know, but haven't we encountered enough unfair things already? Protesting won't get us anywhere; we have to defeat them ourselves!"
"But!" Ai Xiao wanted to say something, but seeing Di Xing happily adjusting his deck, she could only sigh and walk over to him to help him open card packs.
Meanwhile, Du Shuqiang was lazily lounging in a deckchair, basking in the sun. His underlings were diligently helping him build his deck. All the cards from his main deck were in the dice pack pool; over 50 packs were enough to perfectly replicate his deck. He refused to believe that he couldn't beat Di Xing, who was using a trash deck, with his usual deck.
"Ah Xiao, could you give me some information about that Du Shuqiang?"
Ai Xiao gave her a look that said, "He's the head of the fourth floor of the Leppard family estate. He's skilled in using dice decks and is also the older brother of Du Shuhao, the one who died last time."
"As expected? But he doesn't seem very obsessed with revenge, even though it was the head of the Leppard family who actually killed his brother. By the way, Ah Xiao, that dress you wore last time was really beautiful."
"Go ahead and build your deck!" Ai said with a playful smile, her face slightly flushed. "Ah! Don't add [Replenishment Troops], Du Shuqiang already has that card in his deck."
Upon hearing the name of the card Ai Xiao mentioned, Di Xing felt a sense of unease, but at the same time, a winning strategy also appeared in his mind.
Soon, both teams completed their decks, and the two players quickly filled them into their Duel Disks.
“DUEL!”
In the coin toss, Di Xing lost without a doubt, but Du Shuqiang gave Di Xing the first turn.
He said, "This is the duel I chose, so you should go first."
In reality, it was because he feared Di Xing's reputation as the King of Attack, and he also wanted to eliminate Di Xing in his first round.
"I set a monster face-down and two cards face-down, ending this turn." Di Xing ended his first turn at lightning speed.
"Draw a card during my turn, activate the Field Spell Card 'Entertainment Duel,' and then Normal Summon the monster 'Cube Man.'"
A Rubik's Cube-shaped robot came onto the field. It looked like a die. Would the younger brother use a coin and the older brother use a die?
"I activate the effect of the Cube Man. I roll the die once. As long as it is present on the field, neither player can double summon a monster of the same level as the number that appears!"
Du Shuqiang took out an ornate die.
"Wait!" Di Xing hurriedly interrupted, "I demand that the system be allowed to roll."
"I'm sorry, but as a gambler, I still trust my lucky dice. The virtual dice rolled by the system just don't feel right, and besides," Du Shuqiang gave a gentlemanly smile, "my duel disk is malfunctioning and can't roll the virtual dice."
"You're kidding me! Besides, if the duel disk malfunctions, you should be declared the loser immediately!"
"Ms. Mi Nuo, what do you think?" Du Shuqiang asked Mi Nuo.
Mi Nuo, holding a parasol, leaned comfortably against the corner of the wall. "It's too boring to just declare them the loser. Just give the dice to Bei Dou Sen Sai and let him check them."
Du Shuqiang grinned with triumph. He had long heard of Mi Nuo's personality and was certain that the thrill-seeking opponent wouldn't let the game end so easily. So he gave all six of his lucky dice to Di Xing.
Di Xing carefully examined the dice but found no trace of mercury or other suspicious activity. Reluctantly, he returned the dice to Du Shuqiang.
"You can pick three to keep," Du Shuqiang said gentlemanly. "That will lessen the suspicion against me for cheating."
Di Xing thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second, you old geezer, you're really wicked!" But he had no choice but to leave three dice.
Du Shuqiang casually rolled the dice, and as the dice rolled, numbers appeared on the six faces of the Rubik's Cube and began to roll on the ground. Finally, the dice and the Rubik's Cube stopped together, and the number that appeared was 4!
