"Ahem, Mr. Youye."

Just as Youye was about to discuss Deck Builds with Bai Yun'er, Sheng Ning had recovered and called out to him.

She no longer had her previous business-like demeanor, looking at Youye respectfully.

"Is there something else? Or do you want a best-of-three?"

Youye looked at her, asking back with some confusion.

"No, Mr. Youye, I fully acknowledge your strength! I wanted to ask if you could help me modify my Deck Build? I also want to become stronger. Although I don't have much money, I know the whereabouts of a Spirit. With your strength, you might be able to obtain a new Archetype and cards through it."

Sheng Ning immediately replied respectfully. As for why she said the latter half of the sentence, it was her personal motive.

She had memorized Youye's information. From this interaction, she already understood that Youye was a genius, a super genius. Currently, he wasn't in the spotlight because he lacked cards, but once he had them, he would definitely cause a storm in the dueling world, with countless people scrambling to curry favor!

This also showed that compared to money, cards were definitely more attractive to Youye!

"Obtain a new Archetype and cards? Could it be that obtaining a new Archetype is related to Spirits?"

Just as Sheng Ning thought, hearing that he could obtain cards and an Archetype immediately drew Youye's attention.

Although money was important, the most important thing to Youye was cards. For example, the useless Original Cards he got from Master Duel settlements could sell for millions. Compared to cards, money was really just a number!

"Yes, but because Spirits are very, very rare in our world, and when they appear, various families will flock to them to gain recognition, most people don't know this, which has led to a few Urban Legends."

Sheng Ning nodded and began to explain to Youye.

She actually hadn't mentioned one thing: most Spirits were very dangerous. For people with low dueling skills, if they encountered a strong Spirit and lost the duel, being captured and made into a Slave wasn't uncommon.

"So that's how it is. Then how do you know? If you knew, you should have figured out how to get the Archetype and cards yourself or reported it to the Inspector Bureau. Is there something wrong with this Spirit?"

After hearing the explanation, Youye looked at Sheng Ning with confusion, not rushing to agree.

He wasn't stupid. This was clearly problematic, otherwise, why would it still be there waiting for him? Even if it was a new Archetype, wouldn't it be better to get it himself and develop it slowly?

When Youye asked this, Sheng Ning remembered her duel with that Spirit, and her face immediately filled with bitterness and discomfort.

That Spirit was too devious. It couldn't be called a duel with her at all; it was pure torture.

"I know because it's in our Inspector Bureau. As for why we haven't obtained its Archetype, the reason is simple... we can't beat it. The various families in Hangcheng and even our Bureau Chief couldn't beat it. Plus, dueling it is very uncomfortable, so no one is willing to challenge it again. Over time, we just kept it in our Inspector Bureau."

Sheng Ning was silent for a moment before answering.

"Uh... you don't try just because you can't beat it? Isn't it a shame to leave such a strong Archetype untouched?"

Youye thought for a moment about a few devious Archetypes and couldn't help but ask back curiously.

In this world, strength was king. Youye didn't believe they would let such an opportunity pass!

"It's not that no one endured the torture to get a few cards and try to integrate them into their Deck Builds, but using cards from this Archetype makes you Skip Battle Phase. Skipping a Battle Phase is equivalent to giving the opponent an opportunity, so even those who managed to get its cards gave up and no one wanted to endure the torture to challenge it again."

"Skip Battle Phase? Devious?"

Youye was slightly stunned, then his eyes widened. He already knew which Archetype Sheng Ning was talking about.

Then his expression became undisguisedly excited. Those who had encountered Runick might only know its deviousness, but did they know that Runick was a powerful meta Deck that could compete even during the Tearlaments era? If he could obtain this Archetype, his awkward situation of not having a Deck could be solved.

Yes, it was Runick being meta that attracted him. For entertainment Archetypes, even if he could get them, he would refuse. He'd rather continue waiting for Tearlaments.

"Looks like you know which Archetype it is."

Sheng Ning noticed Youye's expression and smiled. For Youye's expression to change so much, the Runick Archetype must be sufficiently attractive to him.

As for high potential? It didn't matter. Sheng Ning didn't want to duel that Runick Spirit at all. Dueling it was truly too uncomfortable. It was the first Spirit that made her want to surrender!

"Yes, skipping the Battle Phase is a self-restriction, undoubtedly Runick. But there's a problem, I don't have a Deck. Can it accept Master Duel? If so, then no problem, watch me easily handle it with Great Banisher, cough cough, Great Banisher!"

Youye nodded, not denying that he had guessed correctly. Then he expressed his concern.

As for not borrowing a Deck? The reason was simple: cards with Archetypes required the Spirit's approval to be used. Even Red Trap Newspaper Decks had Spirits.

Generally speaking, you couldn't use someone else's Deck, except for those with the same Archetype.

"It accepts. It uses Master Duel to duel us most of the time in the bureau now, and it even has a decent Rank in Great World Duel."

When mentioning the Rank, Sheng Ning's face was a bit awkward. No one expected that the highest-ranked duelist in their entire Inspector Bureau wasn't someone from the Inspector Bureau, but the Spirit residing there.

Also, she was a bit curious about what Youye meant by Great Banisher. Could it be that the speed of Runick's banishing wasn't worthy of the title Great Banisher?

"Then no problem. If it's convenient, you can tell me your Archetype now, and I'll give you a Deck Build once I've thought about it." Youye heard this, his last concern disappeared, and he began to ask Sheng Ning.

"I don't have an Archetype... I'm currently trying to communicate with the Ancient Gear Archetype through connections in the bureau."

Sheng Ning's face became even more awkward. She wasn't from a better background than Youye, and her talent in communicating with Spirits was also quite good, otherwise, her current situation would likely be more difficult than Youye's, and she wouldn't be in the Inspector Bureau.

"Let's forget about Ancient Gear. It's okay for bullying beginners, but it can't even beat a slightly stronger engine. Its potential is limited."

Youye thought for a moment, then spread his hands.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but the Ancient Gear Archetype system was too old. It couldn't even beat new-era entertainment Decks. He couldn't strengthen it by modifying the Deck Build; at most, he could adjust it so the duelist didn't brick as much.

Otherwise, he couldn't just add a Horus engine to Ancient Gear and use the external Horus to mindlessly punch through the opponent with four attacks, right?

"It doesn't have to be the Ancient Gear Archetype, other Archetypes are fine too. My physique is a bit special; as long as they are Spirits I can communicate with, I can talk to Spirits of many Archetypes."

"If I get a decent Archetype, I hope you can give me a good Deck Build and strategy."

Sheng Ning shook her head and immediately explained.

"Oh~ a Social Butterfly!"

Youye instantly understood, surprised there were people like that. He couldn't help but size up Sheng Ning, making her already slightly awkward face turn a little red.

"Senior, what's a Social Butterfly?"

Bai Yun'er, who hadn't spoken until now, asked with a curious look.

"You can think of it as using various methods to make Spirits like them."

"Hiss~ Sister Sheng is terrifying!"

Bai Yun'er gasped after hearing that, clutching her Deck silently, as if afraid Sheng Ning would charm them away.

Sheng Ning: ...

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!
