One turn? Novice Duelist

A long while later, as the brilliant golden light faded, Xiao Wen felt a warm, indescribable comfort spread throughout his body.

He opened his eyes. The sky was still the same sky, and the ground was still the same ground.

When his gaze fell upon Sona.

His vision seemed to be distorted by some inexplicable force. In an instant, Xiao Wen felt as if he could see things that couldn't be described through her clothes.

Her small face turned bright red, and a nosebleed involuntarily streamed from his nose.

Good heavens! The NPCs these days have such top-notch figures...

Wait... no!

Why can I see their "internal situation"?

He shook his head and looked at Sona again, only to see something different.

NPC · Sona

Level: ??

Profession: High-level Duelist

Deck Level: Rank A (PS: To make it understandable, the original rarity system won't be used)

Position: Guardian of Duel City.

Description: A lineage of tomb guardians left from ancient times, protecting Duel City through the ages and the soul of the resting Pharaoh King.

"This is..."

Seeing the information that appeared above her head, Xiao Wen's face immediately showed shock.

This was completely different from the aura of Sona he had previously queried using the game's built-in system.

It could be said that the current information was more comprehensive and enough for him to understand his own power.

"The ritual is complete. You have begun your path as a Pharaoh King. Please descend."

Sona felt Xiao Wen's scorching gaze. As if thinking of something, her pretty face blushed, and she bowed.

"Oh..."

Only then did Xiao Wen react, nodding repeatedly. He descended from the altar and opened his character panel, only to find that his character attributes had completely changed.

Player: Halfway Through the Mortal World

Level: 11

Gender: Male

Profession: Junior Duelist (Profession can be hidden as Summoner)

Attack Power: 1075-1125

Defense Power: 325-355

Agility: 40

Health: 650

Magic Power: None

Destined Equipment: Millennium Puzzle (Sealed Divine Artifact), Millennium Eye (Sealed Divine Artifact, possesses the power to see through hearts)

Monster Summon Count: 2 (Cooldown: 1 hour)

Trap/Magic Card Usage Count: 1 (Cooldown: 1 hour)

After glancing at his attribute panel, he saw that it had changed significantly compared to before. However, in terms of attack and defense values, they seemed more direct than stats like Strength and Physique.

Not only that, but new categories for Deck Level and Branded Equipment had appeared.

But what the hell is this Rank D?

Why is hers A, and mine D?

Is Rank D stronger than Rank A?

"May I ask, what's this about Deck Level? And what's this Millennium Eye?"

Xiao Wen looked at Sona with confusion.

Sona glanced at Xiao Wen and didn't answer. With a raise of her hand, she tossed out a book half a meter thick, which landed in front of Xiao Wen.

"The information you received earlier was only the most basic of basics. This book contains all the information within Duel City. Since you have become a Junior Duelist, you are qualified to know this information. Read it carefully, and if you don't understand, ask me again."

After speaking, Sona turned around, her demeanor suggesting she was fleeing in a panic.

Xiao Wen stared blankly at the book in front of him, which was as tall as his calf. He didn't think much of it and began to read it carefully.

Although the book was thick, Xiao Wen suddenly realized that he had inexplicably gained the ability to skim through books at an incredible speed. With just a glance, he could read, understand, and memorize the contents of the book.

In just a quarter of an hour, Xiao Wen finished reading the entire book, a look of understanding appearing on his face.

Sona's so-called "Divine Baptism" was essentially an advanced job change for the Summoner lineage.

In the game setting of "Phantom Gods," each profession, in addition to having general skills that could be dropped by killing wild monsters, also had its own unique profession skills that could be learned from various mentors.

Of course, this learning was only for original professions, not hidden professions.

Hidden professions like Xiao Wen's, though considered part of the Summoner system, couldn't learn any Summoner skills, so seeking them out would be futile.

Once these original professions reached level 15 and entered the main city, they could head to the temples in the major cities to accept a job change quest and undergo their first advancement.

After the first advancement, their professional attributes would undergo a significant transformation.

As for the level of the deck, it was divided according to the reasonableness of its configuration and the rarity of the cards within it. Generally, from low to high, they were: F, E, D, C, B, A, S...

Since Xiao Wen's cards were initial cards gifted by the system, their overall rating was quite good.

However, if he were to reconfigure his deck from scratch, it would be a significant challenge for Xiao Wen.

After all, a deck could only contain forty cards, and how to reasonably match these cards was a problem, as it required a thorough understanding of each card.

Sometimes, even a one-star Kuriboh, if used well, could produce a game-changing effect.

When Xiao Wen's professional level reached that of an Apprentice Duelist, he gained the qualification to stay in Duel City for an extended period, rather than being teleported out by Sona as soon as the trial ended, as had happened before.

Duel City was a city no different from a main city. Here, Xiao Wen could visit various shops and use gold coins to purchase cards, rearranging and combining his own deck.

However, when Xiao Wen glanced at the prices of the cards and the gold coins in his inventory, he gave up.

A normal one-star card cost one gold coin, while one-star cards with special attributes could cost hundreds, even thousands of gold coins.

If he really wanted to build a decent deck, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Patting the deck in his hand, determination flashed in Xiao Wen's eyes.

"Yeah, I believe in my deck, they can still be of great use!"

After finishing reading the book, just as Xiao Wen was about to turn and leave, a wall of cards suddenly appeared before him.

Sona's figure had, at some point, ghost-like, appeared before Xiao Wen.

"With the Millennium Eye, your reading speed is indeed incredibly fast! Heir to the Pharaoh King, make good use of the Millennium Artifacts you possess; Duel City doesn't have much time left."

Sona murmured a few words, a strange glint flashing in her eyes before quickly returning to normal. "This time, because you've become an Apprentice Duelist, you can choose two additional cards, for a total of three. Pick them yourself."

"I can pick three cards?"

Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly felt that Sona had become much more generous.

He extended a finger and touched the card wall. Vaguely, the pretty figure of Dark Magician Girl appeared in his mind, and his finger involuntarily pointed forward.

Monster Card, [Dark Magician]!
