She Was Truly Silenced This Time

If an outsider had heard You Chen ask that, they would surely have laughed at him, thinking he was an idiot. Elves have QQ groups? Do they play QQ too?

But in reality, elves do have groups.

Just not QQ groups.

And with You Chen's question, True Silent Magician naturally understood.

Its bright eyes blinked in surprise, and it leaned in, full of curiosity, staring at You Chen for a moment.

True Silent Magician suddenly moved closer, its flawless, pretty face almost touching his.

You Chen, on the other hand, awkwardly recoiled his head.

No...

I just asked if you had a group. Is that really so surprising?

But, it must be said, the elf's skin was truly exquisite—the kind that was fair with a rosy glow, so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch. Thinking about it, it made sense; elves didn't spend their time on their phones cultivating immortality.

Moreover, as True Silent Magician leaned in, You Chen caught a faint scent of jasmine, a subtle fragrance.

"Yes, but I don't understand why you would know that elves have chat groups."

"And even if we do, it's useless. Human and elf chat groups aren't shared."

"I can't add you."

True Silent Magician said softly.

"Want to try?"

You Chen wasn't doubting the truth of True Silent Magician's words.

Otherwise, she would have pulled her previous owner into the chat group long ago, and they wouldn't have lost contact.

But You Chen clearly knew he was different.

After all, he was currently in an elf group himself.

So he believed he must be an exception.

True Silent Magician didn't refuse; after all, it would only take a moment.

It waved its magic staff, activating the magic circle for the chat group.

You Chen watched the scene, then walked into it.

In an instant, he found that another chat group had appeared in his spiritual consciousness.

You-Generation Magician has successfully joined the Magician Chat Group.

This notification popped up.

"?????" True Silent Magician was truly silent, a look of bewilderment appearing on its pretty face.

What was happening? You Chen was actually pulled into the chat group by it?

This truly left it speechless.

"That's strange, how can you? Are you not human?"

"But I don't sense any elf fluctuations from you either."

"It's too strange."

True Silent Magician was utterly baffled by this.

You Chen, however, wasn't surprised. What excited him more was that, as expected of True Silent Magician, the chat group it was in was no ordinary chat group.

The group owner was Dark Magician!

This meant that this chat group was on a whole different level, not comparable to the Needle Worm's.

A single Dark Magician card was already worth tens of millions, being extremely rare.

And the deck's strength was also formidable.

You Chen checked the rare cards within.

Hiss!

As expected, all the associated cards were there.

However, they were quite expensive, requiring about one thousand to several thousand Emotion Value to acquire a single card.

And the Dark Magician itself required ten thousand!

So, if calculated by the Dark Magician's price, would ten thousand Emotion Value be equivalent to ten million?

But upon closer thought, it couldn't be calculated that way exactly.

Firstly, there was a limit to the number of cards that could be exchanged here.

Secondly, a Needle Worm was exchanged for one hundred Emotion Value before. If calculated that way, would a single Needle Worm be worth one hundred thousand?

The problem was, Needle Worms weren't valuable.

From this, it was clear that the value of rare cards circulating in the human and elf worlds couldn't be entirely equated. Each card likely had a different value.

It's possible that a card you buy for 5,000 Emotion Value might not sell for as much as other cards you bought for only 1,000 Emotion Value.

For example:

Here, True Silent Magician costs 2,000 Emotion Value per card.

Dark Magician Girl costs the same.

However, in this world, True Silent Magician is slightly more expensive than Dark Magician Girl.

If it weren't for Dark Magician Girl's cuteness advantage, her price might be even lower.

This is because no one currently has a complete Dark Magician deck.

So, its value isn't fully realized yet.

Despite this, the moderate strength of the Dark Magician deck has already pushed the value of a single Dark Magician card past ten million.

The reason is simple: the entire deck revolves around Dark Magician. The more central a core card is, the higher its individual value.

It's the kind of card where if you're missing it, you simply can't play at all.

However, You Chen wasn't in a hurry to exchange anything yet.

His Emotion Value was already around 20,000.

The revolution hasn't succeeded yet; more effort is needed.

Meanwhile, the chat group was buzzing.

Dark Magician Girl: "Big Sister True Silent, what kind of spirit did you invite here? A You-Generation Magician? Sounds really strong."

True Silent Magician: "Hmm, they're alright. Please take good care of the newcomer."

You Chen: "Your group must have wishes you need to fulfill too, right?"

You Chen had learned from previous chat groups that presumably, every chat group has a spirit story and wishes that need to be fulfilled.

And Dark Magician's wish…

Could it be to defeat Blue-Eyes White Dragon?

Dark Magician: "Oh, this group member is quite enthusiastic. As soon as they join, they're already so eager to help us fulfill our wishes?"

"Currently, for the first phase, we just want to defeat White Dragon."

There was one more thing Dark Magician didn't say.

Only by doing so could the efficiency of the Dimensional Rift continuously improve, allowing that man to arrive in this world.

Yes, that's right.

In fact, there are many secrets hidden within the spirit groups.

Lower-level spirit groups fear Dimensional Rifts and the arrival of powerful Duelists.

Because in that world, they were scorned cards.

But in this world, at least they have a place to exist.

However, among these ace spirit groups, their thoughts are the opposite.

They have a strong bond with Dimensional Duelists.

So they hope to fight alongside them once again. They haven't considered the consequences of Dimensional Rifts appearing, nor is it their concern.

They only want to return to their owner's hands.

Of course, there are also some spirits that are very strong, but they also have no owners among the Dimensional Duelists on the other side.

These spirits primarily aim to conquer worlds.

So, although they are all spirits, their goals are actually vastly different.

You Chen was completely unaware of this.

He only knew that fulfilling wishes could earn him more benefits.

As for why True Silent Magician didn't mention it, it's because she doesn't think the dimensional arrival is a bad thing for this world.

It's like the fable of the little horse crossing the river.

Lower-level spirits fear Dimensional Duelists coming to wreak havoc and think of them as Shadow Duelists.

But True Silent and her group think of them as true Duelist companions.

Therefore, their perspectives are completely different.

However, Shadow Duelists do exist in this world.

"It really is White Dragon, then."

"And from the sound of it, there are stages?"

You Chen felt as if he saw many rewards appearing before his eyes.

This is good!

The more of these wishes there are, the more rewards he can get.
