Chapter 1: I Have a Set of Sword Techniques Called Tenyi Swordsoul. Want to Learn?
"Hello, boss. Is it true that you can help adjust and configure suitable decks for any Archetype listed outside?"
Inside a shop with only a few computer setups, the young girl, Bai Yun'er, wearing a white dress, walked in and her gaze fell upon the only person in the shop – Youye.
Seeing a customer arrive, Youye immediately stood up, smiling, and expertly introduced his services.
"Of course. As long as the customer tells me the Archetype, I'll immediately find the most suitable cards for that Archetype and configure the most appropriate Deck. I'll free that Archetype from the predicament of being like a pile of cards and integrate it with the duelist. By then, things like the Blue-Eyes Archetype, Galaxy-Eyes Archetype, or HERO Archetype will be like a simple dish in front of your Archetype's Deck Build. You can win however you want!"
"That amazing! So, even completely new Archetypes that no one has ever developed are possible?"
Bai Yun'er listened, looking at Youye with full curiosity. She hadn't expected that while she was out alone to clear her head because she couldn't find a suitable Deck Build, she would actually encounter a Deck Build master in a small alley who could so easily talk about defeating Decks that had produced Duel Kings!
"Of course!" Youye nodded confidently, then glanced at Bai Yun'er and slowly said, "Little girl, looking at you, I see you've awakened an Archetype, right? And the Archetype you've awakened is an undeveloped one, which is why you don't have a suitable Deck Build and even lack a direction for growth and improvement, right?"
As soon as Youye said this, the curiosity on Bai Yun'er's face instantly vanished, and the corners of her mouth began to uncontrollably droop, visibly showing her sadness.
Seeing Bai Yun'er's expression, Youye put on the air of someone who had been through it before, gently patted her shoulder, sighed softly, and said earnestly.
"Ah, a brand new Archetype with no Deck Build references. To build a suitable Deck requires long-term research. How can one person's limited energy achieve that? Even for a family or a faction, it's hard to figure something out without ten or eight years of research, selecting suitable cards for the new Archetype, and then using those cards to create a brand new Deck Build. It's difficult, truly too difficult!"
Hearing Youye's words, especially the final emphasis, Bai Yun'er became even sadder, and the corners of her eyes started to turn red.
What Youye said was exactly what she was currently experiencing. She was originally seen by her family as the hope for their rise, but she got stuck because of the Archetype she awakened. In just one year, she completed the transformation from a Duel Nova to a Duel Cripple.
To keep herself from crying, Bai Yun'er politely stepped back, ready to leave.
Watching Bai Yun'er about to leave, Youye gently grabbed her slender left forearm and spoke seriously.
"I feel equally sad about your past, but... after meeting me, all of that will be in the past for you!"
"As long as you seize this opportunity, I can immediately give you a Deck Build suitable for your Archetype, so you will no longer be limited by your Archetype. When you encounter opponents, you'll defeat one, and when you encounter two, you'll defeat both!"
After speaking, Youye subtly glanced at Bai Yun'er's clothing and appearance, then slowly said.
"And this Deck Build only requires 999,999!"
"Really?"
"Can I really become that strong for just 999,999?"
Bai Yun'er turned around, her reddish eyes looking at the man, and confirmed.
"Of course!" Youye let go of her hand and nodded with great confidence.
As for why he was so confident? Naturally, it was because he was a transmigrator!
Ten years ago, he became ten years younger and transmigrated to this Duel World. Yes, it was a world where all contradictions or disputes were resolved through dueling, and the dueling level in this world had decreased by a hundredfold!
Why was it so abnormal, decreasing by a hundredfold? The reason was simple.
In this world, if you awakened an Archetype, it was fine. Those who didn't awaken an Archetypes either had to buy cards at sky-high prices or join a family faction and act like dogs.
But just because you acted like a dog or had money didn't mean you could get the entire Card Pool. Because the family factions in this world that owned cards held onto their Card Pools tightly, sharing with no one, resulting in everyone's Card Pools being extremely incomplete.
Those who awakened Archetypes were slightly better off. They could obtain Archetype Cards through their bond with their Spirit. Generally, the higher the bond, the more cards they obtained.
Besides that, they could also reach Master rank or higher in Master Duel, so they could also obtain cards during the annual Master Duel rank settlement.
Additionally, there was an urban legend that Archetypes could be obtained artificially, but how exactly, he didn't know.
The undeveloped new Archetypes he just mentioned referred to Archetypes that hadn't been developed in this world yet. Duelists who obtained such Archetypes could only slowly explore in the extremely incomplete Card Pool. The difficulty was imaginable, right?
Of course, for Youye, the despicable outsider, the difficulty was 0.
As long as the Archetype the other party mentioned wasn't extremely bizarre or niche, as a Card Player, he could adjust and perfect the Deck Build based on the visitor's Archetype and explain how to use it.
As for why he transmigrated to this Duel World where dueling had decreased by a hundredfold and wasn't going around with a Deck slaughtering everyone, but instead was opening a shop here to attract customers and teach others?
This had to start from when he obtained the Tearalaments Archetype and, before he could even be happy, became an exception.
No matter how he communicated with the Spirit, he only had ten Archetype Cards, including one Archetype Extra Deck Monster Merrli, one of each of the five Archetype Main Deck Monsters, and four Archetype Spells/Traps, including Perlereino. It sounded like Wheelchair Tearlaments wasn't completely impossible?
But as just mentioned, the Card Pool in this world was extremely abnormal, so abnormal that even slightly stronger Normal Monsters started at five-figure prices, and Effect Monsters started at six-figure prices. Yes, started, and they were priceless!
He transmigrated here with nothing, completely unable to afford cards. He could only obtain cards through hard work later in Master Duel. Fortunately, his rank was high enough that for the past four years, he had been able to specifically obtain Non-OTK Forbidden/Limited Cards from his previous life, but it was only once a year, three cards each time, and these three cards couldn't be specified to be cards from his own Archetype. As a result, based on the current progress, it would take at least ten or eight years to collect them all.
Then, with the advice and help of the Duel Academy teachers and principal, he opened a Deck Build shop half a month ago to attract customers, obtaining money or cards by selling Deck Builds from his previous life, and completing his own Deck Build as soon as possible.
"My Archetype is the Swordsoul Archetype, appearing for the first time, with no Deck Build references. I don't even know the basic operation of the Deck. Can you really help me modify the Deck Build and make me stronger?"
Bai Yun'er emphasized again, this time even stating her Archetype and problem. On one hand, she was curious if Youye had a method, and on the other hand, she wanted to make Youye back down from the difficulty.
Swordsoul!?
Youye looked at the girl in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Swordsoul had decent strength in his previous life. Not to mention Superheavy Samurai Swordsoul and other Swordsoul variations, Tenyi Swordsoul in his previous life was one of the most suitable Decks for new players. Its system was simple and direct, and it had high compatibility with hand traps!
Have you ever heard of the legend of Swordsoul Thirteen Swords and Miru Sword Saint?
Based on Youye's ten years of understanding of this world, he could only say that at the current stage, Tenyi Swordsoul could slaughter anyone it encountered!
The premise was being able to solve the Tenyi Engine problem, after all, Pure Swordsoul, those who had played it knew.
But this had nothing to do with him. He was only responsible for the Deck Build. How to obtain it was the problem of the girl in front of him, not something he needed to consider.
Seeing that Youye didn't speak, Bai Yun'er's expectant eyes instantly disappeared, and she lowered her head in disappointment again.
"Wait, where are you going? Little sister, I have a set of sword techniques here called Tenyi Swordsoul, a total of thirteen forms. Practicing it will guarantee you Heaven-tier at the minimum, King-tier at the maximum, and you'll become a Sword Immortal!"
Ever since she awakened her Archetype, her family had been constantly searching for people to help her research the possibilities of the Swordsoul Archetype. But the results were always the same – they were at a loss, unable to find a suitable Deck Build. In the end, some Duel Masters even called the Swordsoul Archetype useless, suggesting she add other Archetypes and use those instead.
Of course, she wasn't unable to add other Archetypes. Her family's ancestral Archetype was the Blue-Eyes Archetype, and she could use it whenever she wanted. But as dueling developed, the Blue-Eyes Archetype's potential had been capped. She didn't want that!
But Youye wasn't saying anything, clearly having no ideas either. So, her eyes were once again filled with disappointment. Just as she turned to leave the shop,
"Wait, where are you going? Little sister, I have a set of sword techniques here called Tenyi Swordsoul. There are thirteen forms in total. If you master them, I guarantee your lower limit will be Heaven-tier, and your upper limit will be King-tier, making you a Sword Immortal!"
Seeing her about to leave, Youye snapped back to attention and immediately called out to her.
"Tenyi Swordsoul? Thirteen forms in total? But my Archetype is just Swordsoul, I don't have Tenyi? And isn't Tenyi widely recognized as one of the weakest Archetypes? It and my Swordsoul Archetype combined can reach Heaven-tier lower limit and King-tier upper limit?"
Bai Yun'er looked at Youye with reddened eyes.
She knew about the Tenyi Archetype. It was an even more useless Archetype than her Swordsoul. Although it had special summon points and interruption points, its attack power was low, and it couldn't even make the compromise of Tribute Summon like her Tenyi Swordsoul Archetype.
Combining the Tenyi Archetype with her Swordsoul, wouldn't it just lower her Swordsoul Archetype's strength even further?
"Boss, you're not trying to trick me with some nonsense, are you? Trying to get me to spend money on this Deck Build that lowers my strength?"
Thinking this, Bai Yun'er looked at Youye with full vigilance.
As a member of a prominent family, she admitted that she had been empathetic to what Youye said just now, but that didn't mean she had lost her intelligence.
