After three turns, Wuping looked at Youye's field. Messenger of Peace was on the left, There Can Be Only One was on the right setting the Pendulum Scale, Rivalry of Warlords was in the middle, and Munin was in the Extra Monster Zone. Wuping's face was filled with despair.

Bai Yun'er and the other two women looked at Wuping with pity. They all wanted to find her a legendary Harpie's Feather Duster so she could at least experience some excitement.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs." Wuping couldn't do anything and finished the duel after drawing her remaining cards.

After the duel, her eyes were empty, but her face was full of relief and gratitude.

Because if Youye had banished her key cards from the start, she wouldn't have needed to duel at all and would have been stalled from her second or third turn.

"Senior, this is the card list the family head gave you. You can choose five cards as compensation from our Bai Family and as thanks for building a deck for the young lady." Wuping truly lived up to her training as a maid from a large family. She quickly adjusted her emotions, opened another card list on a tablet, and respectfully handed it to Youye.

As soon as Youye took it, Wuping subtly returned behind Bai Yun'er, lowering her head without speaking.

Seeing Wuping's appearance, a hint of helplessness flashed in Youye's eyes. Her emotions were adjusted, but the shadow remained. He then turned his attention to the card list.

It had to be said that the Bai Family truly deserved to be one of the top ten dueling families in the Dragon Kingdom. The richness of this card list far surpassed that of the Duel Inspectorate.

In addition to some scattered cards, this Card Pool had nearly complete sets of cards for Archetypes like Red-Eyes and Cyber Angel, at least half the cards for Archetypes like Cyber Dragon, Dark Magician, and Crystal Beast, and one or two scattered cards for various other Archetypes.

What surprised Youye the most was that the Bai Family was still hiding things. This Card Pool didn't have a single card from the Blue-Eyes Archetype. If they could hide Blue-Eyes, they could hide other cards too.

Youye understood why the Bai Family did this.

None of the cards he sold or traded were cards that had been specifically obtained in the last four years.

Often, a difference in information could decide the outcome of a duel. For example, in the duel with Munin, if she had known the Effect of Kashtira, she wouldn't have won, but there's no way she would have defeated Munin while barely using Kashtira's Effect.

Simply put, unless your Deck Build is so strong that it's completely like Ishizu Tearlaments, unafraid of any countermeasures, then keeping things private is normal.

After an hour of looking, Youye chose five cards: King of the Swamp, Predaplant Chimerafflesia, Shaddoll Beast, Magical Eyes Skill Drain, and Evenly Matched.

The first three would help his Wheelchair Tearlaments, along with generic cards, and with some refinement of the Extra Deck, he could barely make it work.

As for the latter, Runick would love it. Clearing the field + drawing cards, and then adding Pachycephalo, Skill Drain, and Megalith Aratron would be even more comfortable, allowing him to optimize away the Effect Veiler in his deck.

"Senior, would you trade the Original Cards of Baronne, Effect Veiler, and Infinite Impermanence?" Bai Yun'er asked respectfully after seeing Youye's choices and curiously glancing at the cards he picked.

"It's impossible to trade the Original Cards of these three cards," Youye refused immediately. The value of these three cards is something anyone who plays Yu-Gi-Oh understands. How could he sell or trade them?

Hearing Youye refuse without hesitation, Bai Yun'er's face was filled with helplessness. Putting aside the latter two, she had a premonition that Baronne could raise the strength of her Tenyi Swordsoul deck by a level. The generic Level 10 Synchro Youye mentioned before was probably her!

Sheng Ning also looked regretful. She wasn't very interested in Baronne, but Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence were rare and highly sought after. She had seen them used in every deck she encountered. Just how ridiculously generic were they?

But Youye wasn't giving them away, so what could they do? Duel for cards? That's what Dark Duelists do, and most importantly, they didn't think they could beat Youye.

Wuping also sighed softly with regret behind Bai Yun'er. Only Munin acted like nothing happened, sitting there watching the three women like she was watching a show.

She was different from the three of them. After Youye obtained her Archetype, she became Youye's Spirit. Once their relationship improved, getting cards from Youye would be virtually effortless.

Sweeping his gaze over the four women with varying expressions, Youye's mouth curved slightly upward. He spoke again, "While I won't sell them, if you can provide me with the cards I specify, I can let you manage them for me and allow you to communicate with the Spirits for free."

"Senior, please tell us! I'll contact the family as soon as I get back to find the cards you need!" Bai Yun'er's eyes lit up. Although it was management and not a sale, the result was the same for their family. Sheng Ning was equally expectant, making up her mind to find a way to search for them when she returned.

"I'll create a group later and send the list there. I need quite a few cards," Youye said with a smile.

Hearing the words "quite a few," the excitement in the three women's eyes grew even stronger!

Youye was also satisfied seeing their eager expressions, but he didn't have much expectation internally.

Because the only other person who knew he had the two generic cards, Infinite Impermanence and Effect Veiler, was his Duel Academy principal. At that time, he had also offered the same condition. However, nearly two years had passed, and the principal hadn't found a single one of the dozens of cards he wanted.

Next, after Bai Yun'er got Youye's card list, she quickly left with Wuping. In her words, helping Youye find cards was a matter of urgency.

Sheng Ning stayed temporarily because she wanted to note down the Ancient Gear Deck Build. About an hour later, Youye gave her a modified Deck Build. With this build, at least it wasn't as prone to bricking, although the cost was much higher.

In terms of overall performance, Sheng Ning tried it on the spot and happily won five consecutive duels in Platinum Rank. Her smile grew wider, and she even felt that she might be able to push herself and become an Earth Level Master Duelist using the Ancient Gear Archetype!

After sending Sheng Ning off, Youye closed the door and went home with Munin. Yes, he went home with Munin.

According to Sheng Ning, after he obtained the Archetype from Munin, Munin was no longer an ownerless Spirit; she was his Spirit, to be taken care of by him, and he would be responsible if she encountered problems in the human world.

Of course, since Munin wasn't summoned to this world by him, Youye had the right to send her back to the Spirit World.

"Speaking of which, I never had a chance to ask, Munin, how did you come to the human world? Isn't the Spirit World bigger and more vast?"

On the way, Youye stopped and looked at the vast starry sky glowing under the night.

"It was boring~ Our Runick Archetype Spirits in the Spirit World would cause other Spirits to run away when they saw us. We couldn't even find other Spirits to duel. We could only raise Hugin, raise Geri, and ride Munin every day," Munin answered without hesitation.

Hearing this answer, Youye showed understanding. Generally, no Spirit would choose to duel against Runick. Like people in his previous life, no one wanted to test their temperature control skills against Runick.

"Night, I'm actually quite curious about something. Are Tearlaments very strong? How do they compare to Kashtira?"

Munin suddenly spoke, looking at Youye with curiosity.

One was the Archetype that defeated her, and the other was the Archetype she failed to compete with Youye for. She was curious about which one was stronger.

"Pure Tearlaments and pure Kashtira are a 6-4 split, with Tearlaments being 4 and Kashtira being 6!"

Youye glanced at Munin and replied. Just as she thought Tearlaments were nothing special, Youye's voice came again.

"Fully realized Ishizu Tearlaments and fully realized Kashtira in a Best of 1 are infinitely close to a 9-1 split, with Tearlaments being 9 and Kashtira being 1; in a Best of 3, it's a 10-0 split, with Tearlaments being 10 and Kashtira being 0."

"9-1... 10-0..."

Munin stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide as she looked at Youye's back, filled with disbelief.

What kind of card is this Tearlaments? Kashtira's strength was enough to defeat her without even activating most of their Effects. How ridiculous must Tearlaments be?

"Don't just stand there. We still need to go to the Duel Association to certify our rank tomorrow."

"You'll see Tearlaments. I have a feeling. After a decade of stagnation for the Archetype Card Pool, it's calling out to me!"
