Chapter 16: Ahhh, There's a Bull
Overall, the Rainbow Card Pack significantly boosted his deck's strength.
"Continue opening!!"
Yu Miao opened the white card pack first.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Normal Spell Card, Cup of Ace (N)*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Normal Spell Card, Cup of Ace (N)*1]
[Cup of Ace: Toss a coin once. If heads, draw 2 cards. If tails, your opponent draws 2 cards.]
Good grief, two Cup of Ace cards in a row.
What does this mean?
Treating him like Joey?
Absolute power of fate!?
Always heads!?
Yu Miao didn't add "Cup of Ace" to his deck.
For a true card enthusiast, luck-based cards = unstable = asking for trouble.
Although a lucky Cup of Ace can let you gain card advantage, the tails side lets your opponent gain cards.
Seeing the opponent gain cards because of you is worse than killing Yourself.
Unless it's a Spell/Trap that benefits you either way, here we must strongly point out...
The Forbidden Trap Card, "Sixth Sense"!
"Still doesn't compare to a single nose hair of Pot of Greed," Yu Miao muttered to himself.
Pot of Greed is a zero-cost, draw-two card, while Cup of Ace is something for gamblers.
The former suits card enthusiasts like Yu Miao, the latter is more for gamblers like Joey.
With one blue and one gold card pack left, Yu Miao hoped to get some cards he could actually use.
Open the blue card pack!
Luck was pretty good; he obtained 3 cards.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Effect Monster Card, Man-Eater Bug (R)*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Normal Monster Card, darkfire soldier #2 (N)*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Normal Spell Card, Dark Magic Attack (R)*1]
"This pack is okay. Man-Eater Bug can be put in the deck to add a bit of strength."
"Dark Magic Attack can be used for Dark Magician Girl as a killer countermeasure."
For Yu Miao, these cards are far more practical than Sky Striker currently.
With the last gold card pack remaining, Yu Miao placed high hopes on it.
Open the gold card pack!
Boom~
Golden light radiated everywhere.
Yu Miao knew he got something good.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Effect Monster Card, Silent Magician LV8 (SR)*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Normal Spell Card, Wild Fire (R)*1]
"Hooray, Silent Magician LV8!" A thrilled smile spread across Yu Miao's face.
Silent Magician LV8 is one of Yugi's ace monsters.
It's a powerful magician monster that appeared in the final duel of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM.
The monster Silent Magician LV8 cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. It must be Special Summoned by the effect of "Silent Magician LV4".
The problem is, Yu Miao doesn't have "Silent Magician LV4".
But he has something better... The Silent Magician.
Besides gaining ATK based on hand size, The Silent Magician has a hidden effect.
Once The True Silent Magician is destroyed by battle or card effect, Yu Miao can Special Summon "Silent Magician LV8" from his hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning Conditions!!
"Excellent! 「Silent Magician LV8」 is my strongest ace currently."
Yu Miao felt really lucky today; his deck's strength had improved tremendously.
Watching his poor deck gradually become stronger step by step, there's nothing more satisfying than this.
Although he didn't directly awaken a spirit for 「Silent Magician LV8」, Yu Miao still had the powerful tool "Card Dust".
As long as he has "Card Dust", he can grant 「Silent Magician LV8」 a Spirit Heart.
Awakening a spirit is just a matter of time then.
"This system seems to be becoming more and more complete."
With a good start, Yu Miao placed even more expectations on the remaining character card packs.
[Successfully opened "Keith Howard" exclusive character card pack...]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Equip Spell Card "Card 7"*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Effect Monster Card "Cyber Jar"*1]
"Hmm, Keith's card pack is indeed related to Machine-type monsters."
"Never expected to even get a Forbidden Card out of it."
As everyone knows, any card with "Jar" in its name is definitely not a benevolent one; most of them are notorious troublemakers.
This Cyber Jar is no exception.
Cyber Jar is a Flip Monster. When it is flipped face-up, its effect activates.
First, destroy all monsters on the field!
Equivalent to a "Black Hole"!
Next, both players reveal the top 5 cards from their Deck.
Special Summon all revealed Level 4 or lower monsters in face-up Attack Position or face-down Defense Position, and add any remaining cards to their hand.
This is a form of card drawing ability in disguise.
Cyber Jar can roughly be understood as a combination of "Black Hole" + "Card of Sanctity".
During the DM era, the prevalence of Forbidden Cards was no joke.
Yu Miao grinned and stuffed this "Reset Jar (Cyber Jar)" into his deck.
The last one is the "Yami Marik" exclusive card pack.
If Keith represents Machine-types and a bit of coin-flip attributes, then what does Yami Marik have?
Fiend-type?
A bit of Gravekeeper's?
"Let me see what you are." Yu Miao opened the final card pack.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Continuous Trap Card "Call of the Haunted" SR*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Quick-Play Spell "Spell of Pain" R*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Effect Monster Card "Bull Blader"]
[The exclusive talent "Soul Inheritance" triggered. Congratulations on obtaining a powerful Monster Spirit.]
A dark, massive figure materialized behind Yu Miao...
Red dual horns, reflective armor draped over defined muscles making crisp sounds.
Scarlet eyeballs danced flamboyantly in the darkness, mixed with an untamed wild aura.
Bull Blader had spawned as a Monster Spirit!
Yu Miao slammed his hand on the nearby table, exclaiming with a complex tone:
"There's a bull!"
This Bull Blader monster spirit seemed unable to speak.
But it raised its silver weapon; on the surface of the sword hilt was an O button.
Click~
It pressed it.
A caption, visible only to Yu Miao and full of "bullishness", appeared before his eyes.
[Today is your lucky day. The appearance of the Bull Blader spirit makes you face the darkest desires in your heart.]
[You have facial features nearly identical to Yugi Muto, and you are deeply familiar with the Yu-Gi-Oh! world's plot direction. You know well that this world has many outstanding female characters, like... Téa Gardner? With this outstanding appearance and just a little scheming, you can easily become the Yu-Gi-Oh! version of Makoto Ito in this world, hehehe, make them all take your shape~]
"Marvelous, why didn't I think of that." Yu Miao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the smile on his face simply wouldn't stop.
Like hell!!
Yu Miao's expression turned grim. He grabbed the Bull Blader's horns and started pummeling it!
Yu-Gi-Oh! is a world for dueling, not a world for adult games.
What the hell does "a little scheming" mean!?
It's not strange for monster spirits to have strange abilities.
Yu Miao never expected that this Bull Blader could fabricate and display an extremely shameful caption before his eyes.
Why the heck did this card pack yield a... bull?
The Bull Blader looked wronged; it was just honestly speaking the inner thoughts of others.
