"What did you come here for? It's your first time here, so you definitely don't know the place. I can be your guide."
Hua Ningning selectively ignored what You Chen had just said.
"Why are you being so kind?" You Chen turned his head toward her, but with her mask on, he could not see Hua Ningning's expression.
At that moment, Hua Ningning was smiling sweetly.
"Kind?"
"Not really. I just want to better understand your deckbuilding ideas."
"Because I realized that many of your ideas are things I don't have."
"So I won't just freeload off your deckbuilding ideas. That's why I volunteered to be your guide."
Hua Ningning did not hide her intentions.
You Chen raised a brow upon hearing that. It seemed there were still people who knew how to appreciate things. To most people of this era, his deckbuilding concepts were undoubtedly difficult to accept.
Many duelists were both edgy and hot-blooded.
Which led to many duelists following a certain creed.
In Yu-Gi-Oh!, there were four things they would not play!
They would not play decks that were too difficult, because they could not understand them.
They would not play decks that were too oppressive, because winning that way was dishonorable.
They would not play decks that were too weak, because playing them was torture.
They would not play decks that lacked soul, because they were not passionate enough.
You Chen could not help sighing at how pure the duelists of this world were.
He had not expected Hua Ningning to have such a good eye. It proved that she had foresight.
She knew his deckbuilding was far from simple.
Which was only natural. Otherwise, he could not have beaten Chen Jianming.
"I want to sell some cards. Could you introduce me to a place?" You Chen did not refuse. He really did need a guide familiar with the area. Wasn't that far better than wandering around like a headless fly?
"Sell cards?"
"If they're worth less than a hundred thousand, these small shops will do. Their prices are all about the same."
Hua Ningning did not continue, clearly assuming that You Chen could not produce cards worth millions. Cards worth more than a million were already Rare Cards.
You Chen had to add, "More than a million."
Hua Ningning froze for a moment.
Well, damn. Who would have thought You Chen actually had Rare Cards worth more than a million?
How was that consistent with what she had learned?
She had looked into him before coming here. You Chen merely came from an ordinary family that ran a small general store.
Could he have pulled a Rare Card from a pack?
That was the only explanation that made sense.
"Come with me!"
"For anything worth more than a million, it's best to go somewhere more legitimate. These independent shops aren't suitable."
Hua Ningning did not hesitate and directly led You Chen to an appraisal and trading house.
The moment Hua Ningning arrived, she called out, "Uncle Yang!"
"Ningning, why are you here?"
Although Hua Ningning wore a mask, Yang Lin still recognized her.
"Uncle Yang, let me introduce you. This is my classmate. I brought him here today to sell some cards."
"I'll have to trouble you to offer him a good price."
Hua Ningning was the big sister of Class Five, so socializing was never a problem for her.
"Hello, student."
"Since you're Ningning's classmate, everything is negotiable. Have a seat first."
"Pour them some tea."
Yang Lin looked toward You Chen with a gentle smile.
He then went to prepare some appraisal materials.
You Chen sat down on his own.
He noticed that quite a few people were selling cards here.
Many duelists made their living by selling cards. Their cards either came from opening packs or from gambling cards in duels.
Generally, those were the two methods.
And so, Rare Card Hunters had emerged!
They were the people many duelists feared encountering most.
After all, Card Hunters were generally quite strong.
Of course, some Card Hunters also came here to scout for prey.
After all, this was where they could learn who was selling cards.
And who might have a better collection.
So when You Chen sat down, quite a few people looked over.
Most were merely curious.
But one buzz-cut man kept staring at You Chen.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and wore sunglasses.
In no time, Yang Lin had finished preparing and walked over.
He had even put on white gloves.
What was professionalism? This was professionalism.
"May I ask which card you wish to trade?" Yang Lin asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
You Chen did not waste any time and directly took out a copy of Monster Reborn protected by a card sleeve.
"Mm! Monster Reborn. No foil cracks, no discoloration."
"It has been kept in excellent condition. I'd estimate it at around two million."
"However, since you're Ningning's classmate, I can offer you two million and fifty thousand."
"The handling fee is ten thousand."
"Is that acceptable?"
Hua Ningning, standing beside him, also raised a brow. It was actually Monster Reborn, a card that was rarely seen. Ordinary people could not afford to run it in their decks.
She had one herself. Otherwise, she would definitely have wanted to buy it.
"Why not keep this card and use it yourself?"
Hua Ningning was somewhat puzzled.
"I need money," You Chen answered bluntly.
First, he really did need money. Second, Monster Reborn had many replacements.
For example, Premature Burial, Call of the Haunted, and so on.
Premature Burial was an outright inferior substitute, but Call of the Haunted was different. It had its strengths and weaknesses.
Most importantly, You Chen was not particularly reliant on this card.
Limit Reverse was enough, at least for his current deck.
"No problem. Let's settle it like this."
You Chen was quite satisfied. Sure enough, having connections and having none were completely different matters.
If he had come alone, the other party might have offered around 1.8 million.
That was a difference of several hundred thousand.
So he really had to thank Hua Ningning.
"Alright. I'll have someone transfer the money to your card immediately."
"Oh, and here is a VIP card. If you come here in the future, your handling fees will be waived."
Yang Lin knew how to win people over.
He handed over a VIP card right away.
Naturally, You Chen did not refuse and immediately accepted it.
Soon, he had received 2.04 million.
The two of them walked out. Before leaving, You Chen noticed that the buzz-cut man had already crushed out his cigarette and followed them. He had set his sights on him.
Tsk, tsk!
Sure enough, nowhere was safe, no matter the world.
Fortunately, this was a world of card games, so You Chen was not too worried.
In a world of card games, the other party would not steal from or rob him. No matter what, they would have to duel first.
You Chen was one hundred percent certain of that.
There had been a news report before about a sleazy man who wanted to force himself on a girl, yet he still had to duel her first.
It had been a forced duel!
There was a Duel Disk equipped with chains.
That was the setting for forced duels.
Otherwise, why would a woman agree to duel?
So You Chen guessed that this man probably had a similar method for forcing a duel.
"What now? Are we going to buy cards?"
"Perfect, I can take a look at your deckbuilding ideas."
After waiting so long, Hua Ningning had finally reached the part she had been looking forward to.
"No. Next, I'm going to sign up for the Underground Duel Tournament!"
You Chen looked toward the deeper part of the district, where the crowds surged around an even livelier dueling event!
