Early the next morning, Youye and Munin stood outside the Hangcheng Duel Association building.

The reason they were there, or rather, the reason Youye was there, was simple.

In this world, after acquiring a Deck and becoming a true Duelist, one needed to be certified by the Dueling Rules. After certification, Duelists would receive a Level. Subsequent Level promotions would also provide promotion tasks and conditions based on the certified person's goals, identity, or faction.

Of course, certification wasn't mandatory. However, without it, you would just be a regular Duelist, unable to enjoy the status and physical changes of high-level Duelists. You wouldn't even be able to participate in some Duel tournaments due to Level requirements.

He didn't have a Deck before, but now that he had a meta Deck, he naturally wouldn't miss out on these benefits. He had always been envious of the ability to live in the Spirit World after reaching Heaven-tier and having a lifespan of several hundred or even a thousand years.

As soon as they walked in, a staff member approached them respectfully and said, "Hello, esteemed Master. Are you here to receive a promotion task?"

"No, I'm here to get certified by the Dueling Rules for my Level. Could you tell me where to go?" Youye shook his head and then asked in return.

"Huh?" The staff member's eyes were filled with confusion. They had a Spirit with them; wasn't this clearly a Master Duel of Earth Level or higher? What was this about getting certified by the Dueling Rules for their Level? This was something only new Duelists who had just obtained a Deck did.

"You're Youye, right?" At this moment, a woman in her mid-twenties walked over with a 'tap tap tap' sound of footsteps. The woman was wearing a white professional suit and had a melon seed face. Although the friendly smile on her face made her seem approachable, one could still feel the aura of someone in a high position.

"Yes, and you are...?" Looking at the completely unfamiliar person in front of him, Youye was puzzled as to how she knew him.

"I'm Chang Xingge, the Vice Minister of the Hangcheng Duel Association Branch. The Inspector Bureau contacted me about your matter last night and also reminded me that you recently acquired an Archetype and have a suitable Deck. They said you would likely bring a Spirit today to get certified by the Rules, and asked me to receive you." Chang Xingge smiled, first taking out her work ID to introduce herself, then explaining the reason.

"I see!" Youye nodded, giving Sheng Ning a thumbs up.

The Duel Association staff member who was originally receiving Youye stood respectfully to the side, curious about who Youye was, coming with a Spirit for certification and having the Inspector Bureau endorse him to be received by the Vice Minister.

But he was very sensible and didn't ask further questions. He watched Chang Xingge lead Youye and Munin to the certification area and then continued to receive other Duelists.

Those around who noticed this scene also chose to watch Youye and the others leave, just like him. Those with higher status would at most ask the people next to them if they knew Youye's identity. There were no idiots who were so clueless as to shout about unfairness.

"Youye, after you finish your certification later, would it be convenient for you to have a Duel with me? I can offer you a card you need as compensation." On the way to the Dueling Rules certification, Chang Xingge, who was leading the way, asked Youye.

"A Duel? Not a Master Duel? If there's compensation, I don't mind."

"But are you sure? You know the Inspector Bureau. If you've spoken to them, you should know what Archetype my Deck is, right? And you should understand what Dueling against me means, right?"

Youye looked at her, a little surprised. He was surprised that she would offer a card he needed just to Duel him.

After all, if she knew from the Inspector Bureau which cards he needed, she must know that offering a card he needed could at least be exchanged for a chance to communicate with a Spirit using Baronne/Effect Veiler/Infinite Impermanence. She should also understand how much of a Stall it would be to Duel him.

In a sense, she was giving up an opportunity to strengthen her Deck in exchange for making herself stronger. It didn't seem worth it at all.

Regarding Youye's question, Chang Xingge was silent for a moment, then slowly said.

"To be honest, I also have a new Archetype. It's just that back then, I tried everything I could to research it but couldn't find a suitable Deck Build, so I had to give up. It was through the Duel Association that I got my current Archetype, and through my current Archetype, I have my current status and position."

When she said this, her face was full of complexity, bitterness, and strong unwillingness.

It was true that the new Archetype had rapidly increased her strength. She had gone from being at the bottom of the Yellow-tier to reaching the limit of the Mystic Level in just four years. As long as she completed the promotion tasks and conditions given to her by the Rules, she could become an Earth-level Duelist!

But the problem also lay here...

"My current Archetype has reached its limit. I failed to get cards by communicating with the main Archetype's boss monsters, and I failed the Earth Level task. My path is blocked, and there are no suitable powerful Archetypes for me to choose. The only thing I can rely on is whether my original Archetype can break through this situation."

After speaking, she looked at Youye with anticipation, hoping he could optimize her Archetype and make her stronger!

Having said this much, Youye naturally understood that she had learned about him from the Inspector Bureau, which was why she had sought him out to break through her situation.

Yes, sought him out. It was so obvious now; it wasn't just because the Inspector Bureau had informed her, but because she herself had requested it.

"Youye, don't worry. As long as you provide a suitable Deck Build and strategy, no matter which of the two Archetypes it is, the two other cards you need that I have will also be your compensation!"

Seeing Youye not speaking, Chang Xingge's heart sank. She immediately spoke up to increase the stakes. Youye was the only hope she saw, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She proposed a Duel, firstly to confirm Youye's strength for herself, and secondly, if her original Archetype truly couldn't be developed, she would ask Youye to help modify the Deck Build of her current Archetype.

She was actually more extreme than Youye had guessed. After receiving the news from the Inspector Bureau last night, she immediately went to verify it. After confirming the news was correct, she had been waiting at the entrance for Youye's arrival.

"Two more cards?" Youye was surprised to hear this. The cards he wanted were not easy to find, yet Chang Xingge in front of him could produce three. So, he quickly composed himself and asked, "Tell me about your Archetype. If it can be strengthened, I can modify the Deck Build for you. If it's a particularly weak Archetype, then there's nothing I can do."

Seeing that Youye had agreed, Chang Xingge's nervous heart immediately calmed down a lot. So, she slowly began.

"My Archetype is Drytron. I wonder if you've heard of it?"

"Drytron? Are you sure?" Youye looked at her, his face full of strange confirmation.

Leaving aside the fact that Drytron Herald was once meta, the Drytron Archetype itself had three boss monsters with high ATK. In this world, its strength should be quite good, so how could it not even reach Earth Level?

Could it be that she was even more extreme than Bai Yun'er, abandoning summoning the main Deck's boss monsters because Ritual Monsters were card-disadvantageous to summon?

"I'm sure!" Seeing Youye's strange face, a bad premonition arose from the bottom of Chang Xingge's heart, and her face turned a little pale, but she still tightly held her hands and nodded in confirmation.

"That's not right. With the strength of Drytron's three boss monsters, if you're familiar with the cards, the boss monster has 5000 ATK + interruption + graveyard effect, and the lower-level monsters have negation. How could you not even reach Earth Level?"

Youye raised the question he didn't understand.

"Huh? When did Drytron have three boss monsters? Isn't there only 'Drytron Meteonis Draconids'?"

Chang Xingge asked back with a confused look. If Youye's information hadn't been verified by her, she would have wanted to ask Youye what he was talking nonsense about and if he knew that she was the owner of the Drytron Archetype.
