Chapter 141: Keeping an Appointment

Then Guiping generously showed Youxuan their current rich inventory at the headquarters again.

When the combination lock was unlocked and the heavy military alloy door slowly opened in front of him, Youxuan had to admit that the scene was quite shocking.

Almost all the cards were in sight.

It might not be an exaggeration to say that he was a card man's romance. It was the first time he saw such a huge space almost entirely spread out by a sea of ​​various duel cards, just like an attractive treasure cave.

Tall display cabinets stood on both sides of the wall, like glorious guardians standing neatly. There were also many types of cards in the cabinets, listed in order according to year and type, from the early version made by the duel monster slab excavated by Becas, with the progress of scientific research and development every year, more and more cards, and newer series.

Rather than a warehouse, this place feels more like a library.

What you can see here is not only a rich variety of cards, but also traces left by the years. The display cabinets are not just filled with cards, but also freeze every era that Duel Monsters has gone through so far, and the trajectory of countless explorers' discovery and progress.

Keipi didn't say how much he could take away, just said to take whatever he wanted. But You Xuan knew that he still had to have basic self-awareness. After all, emptying a whole warehouse was a bit unpredictable.

So the things needed in the list were still the top priority.

But after all, the cards in this world are extraordinary, and even Kaiba Company's standing inventory doesn't have everything. But this is indeed a holy place that thousands of duelists dream of. Many things that have long been out of print and even the Academy Department has no channels for a while are also available here.

For example, Kaiba President's favorite trap during the DM period, the ancient banned card, [Death Deck Destruction Virus].

And the death poison used by Kaiba President is not quite the same as the real card.

The old version of the real card's destruction virus effect is to sacrifice a dark attribute monster with an attack power of less than 1000 on the field to destroy the opponent's hand and all monsters with an attack power of more than 1500 on the field within three turns.

This effect was banned because it was too powerful, and it was not released until 2015 after the effect was weakened.

However, even the old version of the effect is different from the original version of the animation. In the animation, Kaiba's deadly poison effect can only be triggered when a dark attribute monster with an attack power of less than 1000 on the field is destroyed by battle, and then all monsters with an attack power of more than 1500 in the opponent's hand, field, and deck are destroyed.

From today's perspective, this effect may not be as powerful as the old version of the real card. First of all, it is a bit troublesome to trigger it when your monster is "destroyed by battle".

Moreover, "destroying all monsters with an attack power of more than 1500 in the opponent's deck" is equivalent to helping others pile up the graveyard of the entire deck in one go. If facing some decks with graveyard resources equivalent to the second hand, this move is almost suicidal, and you can carry yourself away on the spot.

But in the early environment where the utilization rate of the graveyard was not so high, the destructive power of this deck was actually very strong.

President Kaiba, who always likes to attack and suppress, rarely has such a hellish set of tactics, and he has even used it more than once or twice.

After considering it, You Xuan decided to put this card in his bag first. Although this kind of killer weapon can easily kill you if used carelessly, it can also be effective in certain situations.

Most of the cards he picked later were nothing special. It was mainly to expand the inventory of a wave of fusion decks, but he currently does not have any main fusion decks. These are designed for the system built around the magic card "Sudden Mutation".

Most of the remaining cards he collected were because he thought they were useful in specific constructions, or because they were rare and valuable and could be sold at a good price.

But as expected, most of the fusion monsters without summoning restrictions in this era are small fry. The main purpose of bringing them is to allow the monsters of the commonly used levels in the [Chaos Mutation Phoenix God] deck to use "Sudden Mutation" to transform.

Another rare card that caught his attention was a soul monster.

Tsukuyomi.

Four-star with an attack power of 1100. The effect is that when summoned, it can cover a face-up monster on the field to face-down defense position. And after she summons, it will return to the owner's hand at the end of the turn.

In other words, it is basically equivalent to a "Book of the Moon" once per turn, but it only takes up one call. It seems to be an ordinary monster, but it is a general-purpose card with excellent performance in the early stage of the real card. Later, it was designated as a restricted card because of its active record in many different systems of top decks.

From the perspective of its impact on the environment, the increase in the appearance rate of this card directly led to many players' lower evaluation of monsters with excellent points and effects but defense power below 1100.

Among them, the famous Emperor deck series was criticized by name. The superior monsters of the Emperor series all have excellent and powerful effects, but the biggest weakness is that the defense power is all 1000, which is very embarrassingly 100 points lower than the "Tsukuyomi" known as the human-shaped Book of the Moon.

In other words, if you consume a sacrifice to summon a superior emperor, the opponent only needs to call Tsukuyomi to turn the emperor to face-down defense position, and it can be knocked out with one punch. Moreover, Tsukuyomi can be self-recovered and returned to the hand for reuse in the next round.

It is equivalent to consuming only one summon resource to replace a higher-level monster. From the perspective of resource exchange, it is a profit after all.

Anyway, this trip to Kaiba Corporation has yielded a lot. Not only has it taken one step closer to evolving Chaos to its full form, but it has also obtained the key material for ritual Chaos, which has greatly enhanced the deck's terminal.

However, he remembered that this deck had another key monster back then, a powerful terminal that could easily turn the tables in desperate situations and was once banned due to its high investment rate and simple and crude Minotaur effect.

Thousand-Eyed Nardar.

In the Duel Kingdom chapter, Rebekas's trump card monster is also a rare level 1 fusion monster. Let alone the monster effect, you can tell that it is definitely not a good thing just by looking at the fact that its attack and defense are both 0.

Its signature effect is that it can absorb the opponent's monster on the field, equip itself with equipment, and gain the monster's attack and defense. It is not only a Chaos deck, but also a bus-shaped thigh that many competitive decks would have external plug-ins.

But unfortunately, it seems that even Kaiba Corporation's warehouse does not have it.

You Xuan also consulted Keiping, who shook his head and said that he really didn't have it.

That's right, after all, it was the trump card of the rival Bekas, and it was an exclusive card printed by the father of Duel Monsters for himself. It is unlikely to be available elsewhere.

"However, I do remember that Bekas seemed to have a reprint, which was a contest gift card or something like that."

Keiping recalled.

"The International Illusion Society might have it."

"."

You Xuan pondered.

Even so, he didn't have any acquaintances in the International Illusion Society.

Oh, I just beat up a mecha professor, which might barely count as half. But that guy probably doesn't want to communicate with me in a friendly way.

"."

Unconsciously, he spent most of the day in the warehouse. You Xuan came out with another box of cards with satisfaction and went back to the previous office to find Keiping.

"It seems that I have picked a satisfactory card." Keiping smiled.

"Yes, thank you." You Xuan also said.

Keiping still waved his hand generously: "It's okay. I still say that if you really want to thank me, just don't let my brother down on the court.

As long as you give him a satisfactory duel, such a small investment doesn't matter at all."

It really sounds like the style of the president.

After all, people build satellites and chase souls in the underworld just to have cards to play. In comparison, if the investment of a few cards can relieve the addiction to cards, the cost is really negligible.

Kuiping stood up: "Okay, I should leave soon."

Youxuan understood: "Go to the foundation of Tianma Yexing?"

"Yeah, I haven't contacted that guy directly for a long time, so I went to see what he is up to. But it was quite unexpected."

Kuiping looked at Youxuan.

"That guy actually asked me to meet you if possible."

"Me?"

"Yeah, maybe the duel just now also left a deep impression on him." Guiping said, "But don't take it too seriously. If you don't want to go, I'll help you refuse.

So, are you going back to the academy directly now? Or..."

You Xuan thought about it.

It's okay to go back to the academy at this time. Most likely, you will go back and rest directly.

"I don't have anything to do either." You Xuan shrugged, "Since they sincerely invited me, I'll go and take a look."
