Where are my cards? (Seeking follow-up reading!!!)

Dongye Youzai, the former world number one Soul Card Master.

After winning the championship last year, half of his deck was immediately banned, causing him to disappear from the scene.

But if you were to say how miserable he was, some people would be envious.

Because the compensation for half a deck of banned cards was a full 300 million. This is because the amount of compensation for banned cards also needs to be multiplied by the rank of the banned card owner. For example, Shen Sui's 13-star Soul Card that was banned, if the owner was a ninth-tier Soul Card Master, the banned card compensation would not be 150,000, but 1.35 million, plus additional championship compensation.

Due to the extremely high cost of banned card compensation, the Soul Card Association's review of banned cards is very strict. It's not like a card is immediately deemed banned just because someone reports it. Once the compensation amount reaches a certain price, the Soul Card Association will send a special reviewer to duel you to determine if the card needs to be added to the banned list.

Shen Sui was also surprised that his [Star Super Magic Array] was banned so quickly. The Soul Card Association was truly generous.

It is said that the reason Dongye Youzai's half deck was banned was because he crushed the reviewer during the review, so many people thought this guy did it on purpose to earn a retirement fund.

But this year, with his king's return, such rumors have dissipated.

As soon as he heard that the opponent was using Dongye Youzai's deck, Shen Sui immediately became interested.

"Okay! Then let's start the duel!" At this moment, winning or losing was no longer important to Shen Sui, and the 500,000 prize money was not a big deal either.

World champion deck?

Let me see!

However...

"Why did my effect still go through even though I activated a spell card that negates effects!" the young man named Bu Pei shouted in disbelief.

"That... that's not an effect." Shen Sui already felt that this duel was a disaster. "That's a cost."

"What cost or no cost! Isn't this effect written on the card? Why can it still be activated after I negate it!" Bu Pei's eyes widened.

"Why was my follower destroyed by you?! Isn't he immune to being targeted by effects?"

"My card's effect doesn't target."

"What doesn't target? I don't see that written on your card?"

Forget it, forget it, I won't argue.

Shen Sui rubbed his temples and played a spell card from his hand.

"I'm activating the spell card [Lightning Strike] to destroy your monster on the field... Huh? Where's your follower?" Shen Sui looked at Bu Pei's empty field and asked in confusion.

"I don't know!" Bu Pei looked around in surprise. "Where's my card? Where's the card I bought with a lot of money?"

So they called the referee and checked the duel log to find Bu Pei's mysteriously disappeared follower.

It turned out that the effect of that follower was that it had to be activated at the start of the opponent's main phase, banishing itself, and then its Spirit Value would double in the next turn.

"Oh, so it's in the banished zone."

Shen Sui looked at Bu Pei and asked speechlessly, "You don't even look at the effect of your own follower card?"

"No." Bu Pei said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Aren't cards that enter the banned list all invincible as soon as they're played?"

"No... there are many reasons why a card enters the banned list," Shen Sui said, such as being reported by its owner. "It's not necessarily unconditionally powerful. It might also play a unique role in a system... You should at least look at the effect when you use it."

Shen Sui suddenly felt like he was back in his childhood when everyone was playing Yu-Gi-Oh with pirated cards and didn't know the rules at all. Whoever could win depended entirely on who was louder, and they didn't look at the effects on the cards at all.

"I bought a banned card for a million, and I still have to look at the effect to use it?"

"How much?" Shen Sui was shocked.

"A million a card. When I buy banned cards, that's usually the price," Bu Pei said, raising his head proudly.

"Why buy so many banned cards?"

"To show off."

Shen Sui stumbled, what a simple and direct reason.

"Did you buy Dongye Youzai's deck for this price too?"

"Not that one." Bu Pei said with great admiration, "A world champion is a world champion. He cherishes his Soul Cards very much. When I inquired about the price, he told me that although these cards were banned, they were still his inseparable comrades, his friends like brothers."

Why does this way of speaking sound so familiar?

"Then you added more money?"

"Yes, the price doubled." Bu Pei said triumphantly, "Forty million, half a champion deck, not expensive."

I finally understand why dueling is so popular in this world.

There are really big spenders, and it's really profitable.

But on second thought, it's still okay, it's only half the price of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"I lost." Bu Pei accepted his defeat very frankly. "As expected of you, who can defeat a fifth-tier Soul Card Master in the novice stage. Even a champion deck can't defeat you."

If only you had looked at the effects a few more times, I wouldn't have won so easily...

Shen Sui really wanted to complain, but he couldn't find a point to start, so he just said perfunctorily, "You flatter me."

Bu Pei using this deck was like a baby wielding a sledgehammer, not even looking at the effects, and directly defeating himself.

"I originally wanted to win a cup championship to take back." Bu Pei was a little disappointed.

"Are you short of this 500,000?"

"Champion! The important thing is the champion, okay! I want to prove to my dad that I can also become a powerful Soul Card Master, even if it's just an amateur one," Bu Pei said, waving his fist.

"I feel like this deck doesn't suit your dueling style," Shen Sui said, his eyes darting around.

Bu Pei pondered, "I think so too. I'll put it back in my card binder for collection when I get back."

"Let's add each other's contact information," Shen Sui revealed his fangs. "I might have a few cards to retire in a while, and I happen to be looking for a buyer."

"I don't want ordinary Soul Cards; they don't feel cool to use."

"They're forbidden cards."

"Okay! I'll take them!" Bu Pei readily added Shen Sui as a friend.

He didn't even ask the price.

Nor did he ask about the effects.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation," Shen Sui was happy to find a stable buyer for forbidden cards. In his plan, forbidden spell cards could all be sold, while forbidden follower cards were his collectibles.

After all, if the follower cards were female characters, trading them always made him feel uncomfortable.

"I really look forward to seeing you in the professional arena." After getting acquainted, Bu Pei was actually very easy to get along with, straightforward and easy to talk to. "Someone who can defeat this deck will definitely be a world-class Soul Card Master in the future."

No, facing a duelist who doesn't even look at the effects of his own cards, anyone could win, right?

On second thought, Bu Pei seemed to have won nine consecutive matches in the qualifiers.

Okay, it seems the amateur level is generally not high.

After Bu Pei left, Shen Sui sat there waiting for the results of the qualifiers.

He had achieved a record of ten wins and zero losses. According to the organizer's competition system, he could basically enter the knockout rounds directly.

Of course, there were exceptions. If more than eight Soul Card Masters achieved ten wins, there would be additional matches.

Therefore, Shen Sui still needed to wait here for the results.

The results came out quickly, and as expected, he entered the knockout rounds.

"Look! Didn't I say Yuan Youxin would be here? How could this amateur dueling king miss a competition with a 500,000 prize?"

Yuan Youxin?

Shen Sui felt like he had heard that name before.

It seems the 500,000 prize is quite attractive.

Shen Sui wasn't worried at all.

Even if the opponent was a famous duelist, he wouldn't panic in the slightest.

Everyone is here for the prize money, who is nobler than whom?

He heard that this amateur dueling king could actually apply to become a third-tier Soul Card Master.

The examiners in the Duel Exam would have their decks weakened, so even if they were called third-tier, they wouldn't be able to display their full third-tier strength.

Then let me test the strength of a complete third-tier Soul Card Master in this world.
