Kapitel 43: Chapter 42: Selling cards, and Scamming to?!
Ten minutes later, Yuyu could already feel the enthusiasm emanating from his new companions in the "Nightcrawler World". It was a testament to their genuine excitement and camaraderie.
Although the name "Dark Duelist" might sound ominous, it did not imply that they were villains. It was merely a designation for those who wielded the power of Darkness.
The world of Yu-Gi-Oh differed from many other narratives in its perspective. Light did not always represent justice, and darkness did not inherently signify evil.
Similarly, the main character in the follow-up series, "Game King GX," also possessed dark power. However, this did not prevent others from perceiving him as a bright and optimistic person.
Power itself was a mere tool; its morality depended on the individual wielding it.
After successfully completing the duel trial, President Tan promptly announced Yuyu as a new member of the Nightcrawler World. Yuyu received a card from the president—a decorative card with no practical use, solely crafted by the guild. Despite its inability to be used in combat, the card's design boasted delicate craftsmanship, featuring a special fluorescent effect when exposed to a light source.
The card's surface depicted a black dueling plate shaped like a pistol, representing the Nightcrawler World's emblem. This card served as a membership card, which Yuyu would keep safely.
With the brief registration process concluded, Yuyu was now officially a member of the association. The "Nightcrawler Association" faction information was added to his system panel, signifying his transition from an unaffiliated individual to a member of the association.
Next came the warm welcome from his senior comrades.
That evening, Yuyu found himself in the midst of a gathering of robust men, engaging in a jovial atmosphere while raising toasts.
Although Yuyu politely declined due to being underage, much to the disappointment of the men, they respected his decision and did not insist.
Having enjoyed their drinks, someone curiously asked, "Say Yuyu, why are you so strong? Care to share your secret?"
Yuyu smiled and replied succinctly, "No secret. It's simply a matter of drawing the right cards and playing them right."
Another person inquired, "What's with your 'Elemental Hero' card? I don't recall seeing it before."
Yuyu evaded a direct answer, and acted as if he suddenly remembered something, tapping his forehead as if struck by a realization.
Yuyu reached into his jacket's inner pocket, retrieving a card box. Opening it, he extracted a stack of cards and placed one on the table.
"Hey, it's Celtic Guardian,' a rare card!" someone immediately recognized.
"It's an excellent card."
"I obtained it from a card pack half a month ago, but I dont use it myself," Yuyu shrugged. "Recently, I've been considering finding a suitable buyer. If any of you old-timers think it can enhance your deck, I'm willing to sell it at a discounted piece. About 50% off."
The duelists became excited.
Buying an SR card at a 50% discount!
It was a golden opportunity; such an offer doesn't come around everyday.
Numerous people immediately began bidding, expressing their interest in purchasing the "Celtic Guardian."
After contemplating for a moment, Yuyu ultimately handed the card to Mr. Kuroda, who had faced him in the first round.
"Our duel earlier was thrilling, and I appreciate your guidance," Yuyu politely stated.
Kuroda's face lit up with joy as he eagerly accepted the "SR" card. He nodded profusely, saying, "Alright! I thank you in advance. The payment will reach you soon. From now on, we're all friends, so feel free to ask for help. And if you ever want another duel, I'll be there!"
Excitement filled the air as the crowd regarded him with enthusiasm. To an outsider, it would seemed as though he had unlocked some unique charm, captivating the dueler's attention.
While selling an SR card at half price may have seemed like a loss in Yuyu's eyes, it was merely a stepping stone for his grand plan.
He promptly pulled out another card.
"Cow Demon!" someone exclaimed immediately upon recognizing it. "It's a rare card!"
This time, many individuals displayed even greater interest than before.
The "Celtic Guardian" was merely a straightforward "rare card," with an attack power of 1400. In reality, it held little utility beyond flaunting wealth.
The Bull Demon, on the other hand, was different. Not only was it an SR card, but it boasted an impressive attack power of 1800!
An attack power of 1800 was not uncommon among four-star monsters.
As mentioned earlier, low-level monsters with high attack power were increasingly becoming popular among duelists. These monsters allowed for direct summoning without sacrifices, granting players an advantageous position in the game.
"Thirty thousand!" someone promptly declared after a brief silence. "I'm willing to pay thirty thousand. Can I have this card?"
Even Yuyu, who had initially intended to profit from selling cards, felt slightly taken aback.
He had expected the duelists to show enthusiasm, but the fervor displayed exceeded his expectations.
Thirty thousand spar for a rare card?
It seemed he still had much to learn about the world of professionals and the rich.
"Fifty thousand!" someone immediately raised the bid.
"Sixty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand and one!.."
Suddenly, the bidding ceased, and countless disdainful gazes turned toward Kuroda, who had shouted the final bid. His face revealed a hint of embarrassment.
What else could he do?
Dont blame me for being unable to afford it, okay?
...
Even though Yuyu had mentally prepared himself, he still underestimated the duelists' infatuation with an 1800 low-level monster.
Following a fierce competition, the SR Bull Demon, sold for a staggering 100,000.
While maintaining a calm exterior, Yuyu couldn't help but feel a sense of elation.
Selling a seemingly worthless card from his previous life for 100,000—would anyone have believed it?
Making a fortune seemed almost effortless, didn't it?
It even felt like was scamming them!
...Though, in principle, it wasn't that simple.
Whether the Celtic Guardian or the Bull Demon, these cards were designated "SR" for a reason—they were genuinely rare. Yuyu here was just rich with rare cards after opening so many packs trying to get pot of greed.
But the next card he revealed was unlike anything they had ever seen before.
Yuyu remained silent as he placed the card on the table, capturing everyone's undivided attention.
Once again, the room fell into a hushed silence. Not a single person exclaimed this time, simply because none of them had ever laid eyes on this card before.
"Chainsaw Insect"? What kind of monster was this? It was a complete mystery to them.
Curiosity piqued, everyone eagerly scanned the card's surface for details.
To their astonishment, the card had a star rating of 4. But that wasn't the most shocking part.
The attack power...
...The attack power was a staggering 2400!?
Everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief, unable to comprehend the sheer power of this monstrous card, just from a 4 stars to?!
A collective exclamation escaped from their lips, a mix of surprise and confusion.
"What in the world!?"
