Chapter 4 Deck Starter
After returning home in a hurry, Xia Qing began to open the express package impatiently.

He didn't have the mind to delve into how the express delivery from another world was sent to Blue Planet.

The cards were wrapped tightly. Xia Qing tore open the film on top, and a refreshing scent of ink wafted into her nose.

Just like what the seller described, it is in almost brand new quality and is probably a byproduct of someone else opening a card pack.

Some people will buy a large number of card packs in order to draw specific rare cards, and the remaining cards outside the target are no different from waste paper to them.

As soon as Xia Qing got the card, he noticed something unusual.

The trademark information that should have been on both sides has disappeared, and the quality of the cards seems to have improved a lot.

Moreover, the cards with different simplified and Japanese versions have now been unified into Chinese versions.

Xia Qing took out a card of the original owner for comparison and found that the two were almost identical in terms of quality.

He picked out the 40 cards he had pre-constructed from the ones he had purchased and stuffed them into the duel disk.

"A new deck has been detected. Duelist information is being updated. Please do not disconnect from the network."

"Ding——, the update is complete."

The indicator light on the duel disk turned from red to green, and Xia Qing's heart finally settled down. He knew that his attempt was successful.

Xia Qing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, as if he had already imagined the scene of becoming the Duel King in the future.

"I'm invincible, you can do whatever you want."

After checking the deck over and over again countless times, Xia Qing finally calmed down.

It’s not time to dream yet.

The entrance test for No. 1 High School is tomorrow, so there’s still time to strengthen your deck.

He had previously avoided buying more expensive cards out of caution.

For example, there are hand pits and general-purpose extras, which can easily cost dozens or even hundreds.

The price of one card is enough to buy a whole set of civilian card decks.

Now that it has been confirmed that the exchange house is his golden finger, Xia Qing naturally no longer has any concerns.

First complete the hand pit, then put on the angel beads to calm your tears.

Satellite Shining, Angry Kshatriya, Snake-eyed Black Witch, and Fire King were also arranged.

The final price came to four figures. Xia Qing looked at the original owner's WeChat and found that there was more than 5,000 yuan in New Year's money, so it was not a big problem.

The remaining decks such as Sky Striker, Dragon Maid, and Live Twins can only give way to strength for the time being.

The status of duelists in this world is very high. When Xia Qing becomes a professional duelist, all his cards will be upgraded to Mirror Shattered and Strange Paintings, and he can even change a deck every day.

"These should be fine."

Xia Qing checked it over and added all the commonly used hand traps and extras to the shopping cart.

Xia Qing even remembered the forbidden cards such as the water machine, anaconda, and chaos dragon.

In the competitive environment of Blue Star, there is no clear banned card list. As long as the card can be put into the deck, it is allowed to be used freely.

Tap Make a payment.

【WeChat balance is insufficient. 】

"How could that be? I remember there were more than 5,000 yesterday. Could it be that the change exceeded the amount?"

Xia Qing felt strange and deleted a few more cards, lowering the price to five thousand, but the prompt was still the same.

【WeChat balance is insufficient. 】

Now Xia Qing finally realized the problem.

He switched to WeChat Wallet and the last payment record was a week ago.

"really."

According to common sense, he spent one hundred yuan at the exchange house yesterday, so there should be a payment record.

But this record does not exist.

"That means that when I buy cards at the exchange house, what I spend is not my cash on Blue Star."

"It's my WeChat balance on Earth."

If Xia Qing knew that he could buy cards from Earth, it would be like winning five million in the lottery.

His mood at this moment is equivalent to suddenly discovering that the lottery ticket was actually from yesterday.

Xia Qing didn't like using WeChat very much, and her WeChat balance was no more than two hundred yuan before she traveled through time.

It was just these two hundred yuan that his former roommate borrowed from him for the birthday of a girl he liked. When he paid him back, he transferred the money in a red envelope for convenience.

"Thank you, Taylor."

At this moment, Xia Qing was extremely grateful to his roommate who provided him with the starting capital for the time travel.

I even regretted why I didn't lend the other party a little more.

If he knew that he would travel through time, he would definitely spend all his money to support the other person and be a bootlicker.

Instead of advising the other party: "There are plenty of fish in the sea, stop it, Feiyangyang."

Later, the roommate was unhappy because his gift was rejected.

As a result, Xia Qing had to spend more than 60 yuan to treat the other party to a movie to help him adjust his mood.

"Ugh."

Xia Qing sighed.

At this point, there was no point in regretting, and he emptied the shopping cart reluctantly. "I can't waste the remaining thirty or so dollars."

The price-performance ratio is too low for purchasing hand pits.

What's more, this amount of money is only enough to buy a hand pit.

However, pie chart decks that are above average in strength are generally expensive.

Even though the entire family of Pearl Tears has been included in the banned card list, the price remains high.

Although there are cheap card decks like Migratory Bird, their fun is really worrying.

The robin catches the bald eagle, the bald eagle catches the emperor centipede, the emperor centipede looks for the dream town, Xia Qing could do it with his eyes closed in his previous life.

After thinking it over again and again, Xia Qing gave up the idea of ​​changing the deck.

As a student, he currently does not need a deck that is too strong, so this deck is not weak.

Moreover, general-purpose cards such as Proliferated G and Gray Flowing Beauty are also extremely rare cards on Blue Star.

Generally speaking, you only need to consider preventing hand pits when playing against top professional players.

It is better to keep the remaining balance in WeChat for emergencies.

Finally, Xia Qing hesitated and glanced at the "I want to sell" option in the APP.

He shook his head and sighed, turning off the phone screen.

Given the huge price difference between the cards of the two worlds, if one relies on selling Blue Star cards in exchange for WeChat balance, it is tantamount to exchanging gold for the same weight of scrap iron.

I'm afraid even if the world's richest man came, he would still hesitate.

From the cheap card deck Xia Qing used before, we can tell that his family conditions can only be said to be enough to provide him with food and clothing, and he can't even afford a qualified Axe deck.

In addition to buying and selling cards, the Jihuanwu mini program only has a private message function for buyers and sellers to communicate.

He couldn't just find someone to send a private message to and tell them: "I have traveled through time now, V me 50, and when I become the Duel King, I will make you my left and right protector."

What awaits him at that time will most likely be being treated as a scammer, having his account blocked, and completely losing this channel to connect with his past life.

Lock the three Black Magician and matching cards in a drawer.

As the ace monster of the Nameless Duel King, the Black Magician is still too conspicuous.

Even ordinary people like Xia's father and mother who don't pay attention to duels know its value. Xia Qing doesn't want to cause trouble for himself for the time being.

Due to the existence of the extraordinary power of duel monsters, the public security on Blue Planet is more chaotic than the Earth in Xia Qing's previous life.

Also sealed were the pile of mortal bone cards belonging to the original owner.

The moment he closed the drawer, he inexplicably felt a sense of loss in his heart.

"It should be affected by the original body."

After coming to Blue Star, Xia Qing felt that he had become a little sentimental.

He decided to play a game to calm down.

Back in front of the computer, Xia Qing clicked on an icon on the desktop.

Master Duel, an online battle platform jointly developed and operated by multiple countries.

There are one billion real players in the world, and almost one out of every two Blue Star Duelists is its user.

As for why the other one is not, it is because there are still many places on Blue Star where the Internet is not well developed.

Master Duel is divided into standard and wild modes.

In standard mode, the deck is synchronized from the user's real-life deck.

In wild mode, players are allowed to build decks using any currently known cards.

Perhaps to prevent duelists from having high expectations but low skills, the latter requires reaching at least the Diamond rank in the standard mode to unlock.

There are no in-app purchases or reward mechanisms in the game.

Rather than a game, it is positioned more like a platform for honing one's card skills.

After fighting all night last night, Xia Qing used the original owner's Mortal Bone card pile to pass the Bronze Promotion Round, and then fell into the endless Silver Hell.

"Today, I will say goodbye to Baiyin forever."

The duel disk has an Internet connection function. After the real-life deck is updated, Xia Qing's deck in the Master Duel will also be updated accordingly.

Ranked mode, activated.

Already matched with an opponent of equal strength.

The opponent takes the initiative and usually summons a Guardian Pterosaur (1400 attack power, no effect).

Then cover two cards in the backcourt to end the round.

Looking at the cards in his hand, Xia Qing knew that there was a tragically thick barrier between him and the player opposite him.

"The game is over."

Activate the rampage magic circle...

When a fusion monster with an attack power of 2500 stood on the field, the opponent once again fell into a long thinking state.

[Summoned Beast Merkaba, Mechanical/Light Attribute, 9 Stars, 2500/2100
①: Once per turn, when a monster effect, magic, or trap card is activated, you can activate this card by sending 1 card of the same type (monster, magic, or trap) as that card to the Graveyard. This activation is negated and banished. 】

Obviously, this is a monster that does not belong in the current segment.

After the opponent demonstratively activated the trap card reinforcements and increased the attack power of the defending pterosaur by 500, he decisively chose to surrender.
