From Another Perspective, This Was Genius Too!

You Wushuang had already gotten busy. She had never expected that simply playing a duel with You Chen would make business boom.

Under normal circumstances, she would not have even dared to imagine it.

These people usually went to larger shops to buy card packs.

After all, big stores generally had more Rare Cards.

But You Chen's new deck-building approach and his words had truly brought a wave of customers to the grocery store.

You Wushuang was grinning from ear to ear.

One moment, she had been so angry she could not help summoning her fists; the next, she was overjoyed.

It was hard to imagine what exactly she had been through.

Meanwhile, You Chen checked the Emotion Value he had gained.

He already had over five thousand.

He had originally earned nearly three thousand Emotion Value during the duel. Just now, the increased customer flow had made You Wushuang happy, naturally earning him another wave of Emotion Value.

In other words, he had gained over a thousand Emotion Value just now.

"Looks like dueling earns more after all," You Chen mused.

Still, that thousand or so had practically been free. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

With over five thousand Emotion Value, he could exchange for quite a few cards in the group.

But because it was a low-level group, even the very rare cards were not anything outrageously overpowered.

He would leave it for now.

That night, after returning home.

Smack—

"Here! Your reward card packs."

You Wushuang tossed several card packs to You Chen. The packs bore an especially eye-catching image. How eye-catching?

It was an unforgettable face: Professor Chronos.

Ah, no, that was Pot of Greed.

You Chen glanced at her. "Wasn't this what you were supposed to give me after losing? You make it sound like you're being so generous."

You Wushuang did not care about that. Wrinkling her nose, she said, "Just tell me, did I reward you or not?"

You Chen did not argue with her further. After all, a scholar could not reason with a soldier, and when arguing with a woman, even right and wrong could be turned upside down.

"How much did you make today?"

You Chen asked casually.

"Everything sold out. If I hadn't saved these few packs for you, I really could have sold them all."

"Since they're from the newest release, they're more expensive than usual—around a thousand per pack. We sold fifty packs, so today's revenue was fifty thousand, with a profit of around twenty thousand."

You Wushuang seemed to have calculated it once before coming home.

Even now, she took out the money, dabbed her finger with saliva from her tongue, and carefully counted it several times.

She looked every bit the money grubber.

"Looks like it's pretty profitable after all," You Chen said.

"Tch, it's only enough to make ends meet. Someone who pulls Monster Reborn from a single pack can sell it for millions!" You Wushuang pouted.

"Heh, why not talk about winning the lottery while you're at it?"

"You know that's a matter of probability. What you have is a reliable, stable source of income. Can they compare?"

You Chen mocked the money grubber's way of thinking.

The two of them had depended on each other since childhood, so they understood one another very well.

"What are you looking up?" You Wushuang suddenly leaned over, her pretty face nearly pressed against You Chen's.

A fragrant scent wafted over. It was not perfume, but her natural body scent.

But You Chen was already used to it.

"Just looking into some things."

Ever since coming home, You Chen had continued learning about this world.

He discovered that the more deeply he understood this Duel World, the more interesting it seemed.

Anything could happen for the sake of dueling.

For example, a certain wealthy heiress had once privately held a duel-based matchmaking event. Countless duelists had flocked to it, because winning meant reaching the pinnacle of life in one step.

You Chen had thought that was all there was to it, but he had not expected a twist.

The reports said that the heiress had merely wanted to watch the matches. After the tournament ended, she gave the champion some money and sent everyone away.

At first, You Chen had assumed that was the reason too.

But after seeing what that person looked like, his face scrunched up like that of an old man on the subway.

The champion really had been quite unpleasant-looking.

You Chen never judged people by appearance, unless some people were so hard to look at that even he could not fool himself.

So You Chen immediately understood the reason.

It seemed this world was not entirely duel-first after all.

There was also a company that recruited fresh graduates through duels.

You Chen admitted that dueling was important in the Duel World, but what could dueling do for a company?

But after seeing that it was a duel research company, he had nothing more to say.

The most interesting thing was this.

The world's most famous duel journal was called Kaiba Magazine!

Publishing a paper there could earn someone a great deal of money once it was printed.

But every paper published there came from famous dueling masters known to everyone!

Ordinary people could not get published there unless their paper was enough to shake the world.

Thus, everyone who left their name there was a famous duelist respected and admired by many.

You Chen had gone through some of the journal's duel papers.

There really were many obscure yet interesting deck builds and insights.

But none of them were shocking enough to make You Chen feel they deserved to create a famous duelist. They even seemed inferior to the creativity of the countless online players he had encountered in his previous world.

Because he already knew everything mentioned there.

He could even see places where additional points could be added to make them more perfect.

Card gamers were truly a strange kind of creature.

They might not show any talent in daily life, yet when it came to deck building, they could rack their brains for an entire day and still enjoy it, often creating decks that only one person in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! would play.

From another perspective, this was genius too!

Therefore, among the duel papers in Kaiba Magazine—

Under some of the papers, he would post his own opinions and theories to help supplement them.

On one hand, he wanted to verify whether his ideas aligned with the dueling concepts of this world.

Or perhaps even famous duelists had failed to realize those points?

For You Chen, this would help him understand this world better.

Of course, he did not expect those famous duelists to reply to him.

They might not even spare his comments a glance.

After all, many famous people were arrogant as the heavens.

"Oh? Impressive. You're even reading Kaiba Magazine's duel papers?"

"Such advanced stuff—are you sure you can understand it?"

You Wushuang felt that something seemed to have changed about her younger brother.

He had actually started reading such advanced papers?

"Whether I understand them isn't important. What's important is that I beat you," You Chen said.

"..."

"This stuff won't do you any good. It'll just make you mess up your own deck build," You Wushuang said.

"Doesn't matter. What matters is that I beat you," You Chen said.

"Fine, fine, fine! I hope you brick every day! Get hit by Maxx 'C'! You bastard, you're pissing me off. I'm going to take a shower."

You Wushuang was so angry her chest hurt. When had this brat become so quick-tongued?

"You're vicious!" You Chen's mouth twitched at her words.

But his deck was not afraid of that.

"When are you cooking?"

Hearing that, You Wushuang turned back and smiled. "You're so amazing, so cook for yourself!"

After saying that, she took off her shoes, used the toes of her left foot to hook down her black stocking, then used her right foot to pull off the stocking from her left foot. She bounced upstairs, tossing the stockings around carelessly.

Was that really how a woman was supposed to act?

You Chen's vision went dark.

"Huh! This is..." You Chen saw a piece of news and immediately became interested.
