Chapter 22 Bonfire
Xia Qing expressed contempt for Wang Lin's behavior of only considering attack power.

Rosemary crushes your sword and axe monsters in all aspects, no matter in terms of appearance, attack, defense, or effect.

Although wanting to assemble a set of plants with only a holy seed, petals and rosemary is like picking up a mouse pad and opening an Internet cafe.

But this did plant the seed of deck building in Xia Qing's mind.

"The physical cards here are so expensive." Xia Qing glanced around.

Even a high-attack axe with negative effects costs four figures or more.

Support cards like Reinforcement, Black Hole, and Feather Sweeper start at six figures.

Competitive dueling is not a field that ordinary people can easily step into.

Ordinary people should just use axes to chop each other.

Just as Xia Qing was about to look away, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a card.

The illustration on the card is plain, just a blazing bonfire.

Bonfire: Once per turn, search for a Level 4 or lower Fire-Type monster.

It is equivalent to the "reinforcements" of the Yan tribe.

Has this card already appeared on Blue Star?

As we all know, Yu-Gi-Oh! 2023 is called the Year of Flame, and Fire Force, Flame King, Snake Eyes, Male Witch and others have appeared one after another.

Thanks to K-company's efforts to increase the fire attribute, the price of "Bonfire" has also been rising.

Although Xia Qing learned about it relatively late, he witnessed the "bonfire" in the exchange house with his own eyes, and the selling price soared from 50 to more than 100.

In today’s card shops, compared to the seven-digit “reinforcement” prices on adjacent shelves, a bonfire worth just a hundred thousand seems incredibly familiar.

Xia Qing silently calculated in his mind: "A ratio of 1000:1 doesn't seem unacceptable."

He has not forgotten that the card exchange app, which he regarded as a golden finger, not only has the option of purchasing, but also selling cards.

Since there were no problems with the purchasing process, the selling function will most likely be able to be used normally.

He can fully utilize this function and exchange the cards from Blue Planet for the WeChat balance on Earth.

Previously, Xia Qing didn't pay much attention to it because the exchange rate between the two was too different.

The appearance of the Bonfire card brought this idea back to his mind.

A bonfire costs one hundred, and he only needs to sell a few hundred bonfires to achieve deck freedom.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. As the Fire Year comes to an end, the bonfire on Earth will gradually depreciate.

And there must be so many bonfires on the market of Blue Star.

“We have to find a way to make money quickly.”

Xia Qing made up his mind and set himself the first small goal of earning 100,000 yuan and taking over the store.

Or, how about selling a few cards?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a sense of resistance coming from his deck.

As if by doing this, something terrible would happen.

Xia Qing felt that his card was spiritual, but eventually gave up the idea.

My cousin walked around the store and shook his head in disappointment: "The cards I want are not available here."

"Cousin, what deck are you using?" Wang Lin took the opportunity to ask a question that Xia Qing was also curious about.

"Want to watch?" Xia Ze kept it a secret and raised his eyebrows. "Would you like to have a fight? You two can come together."

It just so happened that they had seen an area for dueling in the shopping mall before, which was said to use 5D hyper-simulation technology to give people an immersive dueling experience.

In the past, this technology was only used in professional competitions.

Now, ordinary people can also experience this new technology by paying a usage fee of 500 yuan.

Several people immediately became interested, and after reaching a consensus, they entered the duel experience store.

Although the advertising slogan is quite attractive, there are not many customers in the store.

500 yuan to experience a duel, this price can discourage most people.

Before the duel began, Wang Lin looked at Xia Qing and gave her a heads-up: "You know my strength, so don't blame me for holding you back."

Xia Qing waved her hand and said, "This is not a competition, just have fun."

"It doesn't matter if we play slowly. We'll be charged based on the game anyway." Xia Ze said comfortingly.

The clerk didn't say much about the three-person duel. At this price, it was normal for customers to ask for 2v2 or 3v3.

The selling point of the store is the lifelike duel monsters and immersive duel experience. No one will deliberately use backfield decks such as Golden Kingdom and Divine Monument to waste time.

Wang Lin pointed to a device that the staff was debugging and said, "I know this device. It's what's placed on both sides of the field during professional matches on TV."

Two minutes later, the staff set up the game mode according to their needs.

The mode is 1V2, Xia Qing and Wang Lin share 8000 health points, and take turns in ABAC order.

"It's up to you to decide who to attack first." Xia Ze said magnanimously.

Finally, it was naturally handed over to Wang Lin, the weakest player on the field.

It is hard to say whether having him as a teammate will strengthen or weaken Xia Qing.

But as Xia Qing said before, he actually didn't care much about winning or losing this duel.

"It's my turn, I activate Jurassic World." Wang Lin shouted, and slapped a field magic on the duel disk.

Suddenly, the room the three were in turned into a wild prehistoric world.

Surrounded by mountains in the distance, there are tall and lush trees all around, and if you listen carefully you can hear the howling of wild animals everywhere.

The air also became exceptionally fresh, mixed with the scent of earth.

Xia Qing immediately felt that this level of simulated image was more real than the image projected by the duel disk.

Not only are there pictures and sounds, but even the sense of smell is simulated.

Xia Qing found it difficult to understand how this technology was achieved.

Everything else is similar to Earth, but the Duel Monster industry is so developed. "Normal Summon Stegoceras."

With a loud roar, the scarlet shadow of the Triceratops gradually solidified in front of Wang Lin.

Stegoceras, 4 stars, 1900 attack.

Its body is covered with sharp metal blades.

"According to the effects of Jurassic World, the attack and defense of dinosaur monsters will increase by 300 points."

Wang Lin took out an equipment magic: "I will equip the Stegoceratops with the Unicorn Horn, which will increase the monster's attack and defense by another 700 points."

He increased the attack power of the Stegoceras from 1900 to 2900 points in one breath.

Xia Qing didn't know how to evaluate it. With an attack power of nearly 3000, it was quite powerful in the Axe deck.

"He actually increased the attack power of a 4-star monster to 2900." Even Xia Ze was shocked by Wang Lin's behavior.

"A real man should show off his offensive power. It's not like him to be scheming and plotting all day long."

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he stamped a card himself.

Xia Qing originally wanted to despise him for slapping her in the face, but after checking his covered cards, she found that it was really a quick-attack magic that increased attack power.

Forbidden Holy Grail: Increases the attack power of a monster by 400 points and negates its effects.

"It's my turn," Xia Ze drew a card and put a magic card on the duel disk, "activate the continuous magic, Divine Advent."

Xia Qing couldn't remember what series of cards this was for a moment.

Wang Lin was even more confused. What sauce? What egg?

However, Xia Ze's next move revealed the deck he was using.

"Normal Summon 'Night Knights - Rael'."

A female angel wearing armor, holding a spear and with wings on her back appeared on the scene.

It was not until this time that Xia Qing remembered this unpopular series called "Night Knight".

It is a deck composed of low-star angels and high-star dragons.

It tells the story of a group of angel knights fighting side by side with a sacred dragon.

“Activate Riel’s appearance effect. When the summon is successful, you can add a ‘Night Knight’ Magic Trap to your hand.”

Xia Ze was about to take down the deck to search, but was interrupted by Wang Lin's wave of his hand.

He opened the cover card and said, "Open the cover card, the forbidden holy grail, the search of invalid Riel."

After Wang Lin finished all this, he cast a questioning look at Xia Qing, as if asking: "What do you think of my wave?"

But Xia Qing's heart tightened and he had a bad feeling.

This premonition soon came true.

"Sorry, Wang Lin, when the continuous magic 'Holy Birth' is on the field and the opponent activates its effect, I can Special Summon a Dragon-type, Light-attribute, 7-star monster from my hand."

Xia Ze gave the two of them an apologetic look. This was clearly an attempt to bait them.

At the beginning of the round, he put a continuous magic but didn't activate it, which was clearly an attempt to bully Wang Lin because he didn't understand the effect of the Holy Birth.

"Ah, this..." Wang Lin realized that he had made a mistake and was speechless for a moment.

Xia Ze raised the white dragon in his hand and placed it in the monster area.

It is the absolute core of the entire Night Knight deck.

"Come, Holy Night Dragon."

[Holy Night's Brilliant Dragon, 7-star, Dragon Clan, Light Attribute, Attack and Defense 2500/2300]

A dazzling white light poured down from the sky, and a giant pure white dragon appeared before everyone's eyes.

The giant dragon has a pure white streamlined body, surrounded by countless golden stars. Its holy appearance makes people subconsciously want to worship it.

At the same time, a strong wind pressure spread across the venue as Huanglong landed.

"When Night Dragon is Special Summoned, it can destroy a card on the field."

Xia Ze waved his arm and pointed at the equipment magic "Unicorn Horn" on Wang Lin's field.

"Huanglong, destroy it."

As the wings of the "Holy Night Brilliant Dragon" rolled up a gust of air, the "Unicorn Horn" was torn into pieces and, according to its own will, was forced to return to the top of Wang Lin's deck.

The attack power of Stegoceras is reduced to 2200.

"Oh no." Wang Lin looked at the Holy Night Dragon with an attack power of 2500.

He knew that next, he would have to face the head-on attack from Riel and the Holy Night Dragon.

Wang Lin threw away his dignity and begged, "Cousin, can you please show some mercy?"

In response to him, Xia Ze declared that he was entering the battle phase.

In fact, Xia Ze had already let go, otherwise what would have been destroyed would not have been the equipment magic, but the monster "Stegosaurus".

"The Holy Night Dragon attacks the Stegoceratops."

The pure white breath was like a surging tide, drowning the bewildered Stegoceratops.

"Next comes Riel's direct attack."

The original attack power of the Night Knights·Rail was 1800, and Wang Lin's "Forbidden Holy Grail" increased it by 400 points.
-
300, -2200.

One wave of attacks reduced the health of both men by 2500.

Wang Lin's body seemed to be hit by heavy objects one after another, and he took several steps back.

Xia Qing stepped forward to show concern.

He waved his hands, and as he straightened his body, he praised: "This 5D simulation is really something. I feel like I was really attacked by a monster."
