You Wushuang was already busy, completely surprised that simply playing a card game with You Chen had caused her business to boom.
Normally, she wouldn't even dare to imagine such a thing.
Most people bought card packs from larger stores.
After all, bigger stores usually had more rare cards.
But You Chen's new deck build, along with his words, had truly brought a surge of customers to her small shop.
You Wushuang was beaming with joy.
One moment she was so angry she felt like clenching her fists, the next she was overflowing with happiness.
It was hard to imagine what she had gone through.
Meanwhile, You Chen was checking his Emotion Value gains.
He already had over five thousand.
He had already earned almost three thousand Emotion Value during the duel itself, and just now, because of the increased customer traffic and You Wushuang's happiness, he had naturally gained another wave of Emotion Value.
That meant he had gained over a thousand just now.
"It seems dueling still earns more," You Chen mused.
However, that extra thousand was essentially free money, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?
With over five thousand Emotion Value, he could already exchange for quite a few cards in the group chat.
But because it was a low-level group, even very rare cards weren't overly broken.
He'd save them for now.
That night, back home.
Slam—
"Here! Card packs for you."
You Wushuang tossed a few card packs to You Chen. The packs had a rather striking image printed on them. How striking?
It was an unforgettable face, Professor Chronos.
Oh wait, no, it was Pot of Greed.
You Chen glanced at her and said, "Isn't this what you owe me for losing? You're acting like you're being so generous."
You Wushuang didn't care for that, wrinkling her nose and saying, "Just tell me, did I give them to you or not? That's all that matters."
You Chen didn't press the issue. After all, trying to reason with a soldier was futile, and trying to reason with a woman could turn right into wrong.
"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 these are the new card packs, the price is a bit higher than usual, about a thousand per pack. I sold fifty packs, so today's revenue is fifty thousand, with a profit of around twenty thousand."
You Wushuang seemed to have calculated it once before returning.
She still took out the money, dabbed her finger on her tongue, and carefully counted it several times.
She was the picture of a money-grubber.
"Looks like it's still quite profitable," You Chen said.
"Hmph, it's just enough to make ends meet. Those who open a Monster Reborn from a pack can sell it for millions!" You Wushuang pouted.
"Heh, why don't you mention the lottery then?"
"You know that's a matter of probability. This is a stable, reliable source. Can you even compare them?"
You Chen scoffed at her money-grubbing mindset.
The two of them had relied on each other since childhood, so they understood each other very well.
"What are you looking up?" You Wushuang suddenly leaned in, her pretty face almost touching You Chen's.
A fragrant scent wafted over; it wasn't perfume, but her natural body scent.
You Chen was used to it, though.
"Just looking up a few things."
Since returning, You Chen had been learning about this world.
The more he delved into this dueling world, the more interesting he found it.
Anything could happen for the sake of a duel.
For example, a certain corporate heiress once privately held a duel to choose a husband. At the time, countless Card Players flocked to it, as winning meant reaching the pinnacle of life.
You Chen thought that would be the end of it, but there was a twist.
The reports said that the heiress simply wanted to watch the matches. After the competition ended, she gave the champion a sum of money and simply dismissed him.
Initially, You Chen thought it would be the same.
However, after seeing the person's appearance, he frowned like an old man on the subway.
The one who won the championship was truly homely.
You Chen never judged people by their looks, unless some people were so unappealing that you couldn't even lie to yourself about it.
So You Chen immediately understood the reason.
It seemed that dueling wasn't everything.
There was also a certain company recruiting fresh graduates based on dueling.
You Chen admitted that in the dueling world, dueling was very important, but what could dueling do for a company?
However, after seeing it was a dueling research company, he thought, never mind.
The most interesting thing was:
The most famous global dueling magazine and academic journal was called Kaiba Magazine!
Publishing an article there could earn you a lot of money once it came out.
But the papers published there were always by well-known, master-level duelists!
Ordinary people couldn't get in, unless their paper could astound the world.
So, those whose names appeared there were all dueling celebrities respected and admired by many.
You Chen went and looked at some of the magazine's papers.
There were indeed many obscure but interesting dueling builds and interpretations.
But none of this was enough to make You Chen feel impressed enough to become a dueling celebrity; in fact, he felt it was even less creative than the myriad of online users he'd encountered in his previous world.
Because he knew everything mentioned there.
He even felt that he could add more to them, making them even more perfect.
And speaking of Card Players, they were a strange species.
They might not show much talent in everyday life, but when it came to dueling builds, they could rack their brains for an entire day and still enjoy it, often creating builds that only one person could play in Yu-Gi-Oh!.
In a way, this was also genius!
Therefore, in the Kaiba Magazine dueling papers, Below some of the papers, he would express his own views and theories, helping to supplement them.
One reason was to verify whether his concepts aligned with the dueling concepts of this current world.
Or was it that even dueling celebrities hadn't realized this point?
For You Chen, this could help him better understand this world.
Of course, he didn't expect those dueling celebrities to reply to him.
They might not even glance at it.
After all, many celebrities were incredibly arrogant.
"Oh! Well, well, well, you're reading Kaiba Magazine dueling papers now?"
"Such profound stuff, are you sure you can understand it?"
You Wushuang felt like her younger brother had changed somehow.
He was already reading such profound papers now?
"Whether I understand it or not isn't important, what's important is that I won against you," You Chen said.
"..." You Wushuang.
"This stuff is useless to you; it'll just make you mess up your own builds," You Wushuang said.
"Not important, what's important is that I won against you," You Chen said.
"Fine, fine, fine! I hope you draw nothing but bricks every day!! Draw 'G'! You dog, you're infuriating me, go take a shower."
You Wushuang's chest hurt from anger. How did this kid get so glib?
"How wicked of you!" You Chen's mouth twitched when he heard that.
But his deck wasn't afraid of that.
"When's dinner?"
Hearing this, You Wushuang turned her head and smiled: "You're so amazing, why don't you cook it yourself?!"
After saying that, she had already taken off her shoes, used her toes to peel down the black stockings from her left foot, then used her right foot to pull down the black stockings from her left foot, and then just bounced and ran upstairs, leaving the black stockings strewn about.
Is this how a woman is supposed to act?
You Chen's vision went black.
"Huh! This is..." You Chen saw a news headline and immediately became interested.
