Chapter 1 Rebirth! Connecting the Worlds!
Night fell on the modern city, and the street lights and billboards along the street opened their eyes one after another. The colorful lights and the light of the electronic screens intertwined in the circular square, and the lights illuminated the road into a brown-yellow color, like a metallic luster with a little mist.
Su Yu stood on this busy street, and it took him a long time to accept his current situation.
The place where he is now is called Tongye Shi, which should be located in a fictional island city on the earth where he originally lived, from the classic old anime "Yu-Gi-Oh".
Interestingly, before he traveled through time, he had just created a small account in the IP adaptation game "Yu-Gi-Oh Connected World Online" that has been popular in a certain consortium in recent years. He had just finished shaping the character and logged into the game to start a pleasant duel journey...
... and then there was nothing else.
So rather than saying that he traveled through time to the anime, it is more likely... to travel through time to the game of Connected World?
Connected World Online was the most popular online card game in the world before Su Yu traveled through time... It seems a bit inaccurate to say this, because it is not just a card game.
This is a fully immersive online network game built based on the most advanced technology. Although it is a card game, the mode is a bit like MMORPG.
The area where players log in in the game is the famous Tono Shishi in the Yu-Gi-Oh animation, the hometown of the first generation duel king Muto Yugi.
This game has a very high degree of freedom. Players can freely explore the map, duel with NPC duelists, get rewards by completing various tasks, and collect cards to strengthen their decks, thereby gaining stronger strength in this world.
As we all know, in the Yu-Gi-Oh world, the strength of the deck and the skills of playing cards can basically be directly linked to strength. This is a bit like the basic rule of this world. This is a world where playing cards is respected.
Even those super BOSSes with great strength and the ability to destroy the world still have to abide by the rules and play cards with the protagonist in the end.
In fact, before crossing over, Su Yu basically immersed himself in this game every day, running around in the map every day to complete tasks, krypton gold to draw card packs, or going to the player arena to play a few hands with other card friends...
Connecting the world is not only a game, but also a job for him.
At first, he saw a game video made by a well-known UP host in the game area, which gave him the idea of "recording the exciting games in the arena and making videos".
Relying on the popularity of the game in the connected world, he made some entertainment-oriented card-playing videos, and his performance has always been decent. Although he can't compare with those real big guys, at least he can make a living by relying on the connected world.
Then... he just traveled through time.
At this time, Su Yu felt hopeless.
He is not a big guy in playing cards. Although he has been in the pit for a long time, he is more of an entertainment player than a competitive player.
He still has a little idea in his mind that he can survive in this world where cards are respected with just his three tricks.
But since he is here, he has to find a way to adapt quickly.
What surprised Su Yu was that when he tried to call out the menu like in the game, the familiar game panel in his previous life actually jumped out in front of him again.
Name: You Yu
Category: NPC
Level: Level 1
Charm: 95
Luck: 20
Endurance: 35
Stamina: 3/3
Remarks: Ordinary, working hard to become a professional duelist.
You Yu is the ID he picked up casually when he created his account. After all, he was playing the game of Yu-Gi-Oh, and it was common sense (wrong) to start his name with the word "You" to increase his luck when playing cards. As for "Yu", it is the homophone of his real name, "Yu", and has no other meaning.
But it seems that this ID he picked up casually will become his name from now on...
Thinking of this, Su Yu (now You Yu) is a little fortunate. Fortunately, when he named his account, he didn't have a brain twitch and named it something like "Crazy Dragging Dragon Young Master" or something stupid, otherwise he might as well be reborn right here...
But this panel...it's a bit hard to describe.
The good news is that at least the panel data doesn't look much different from the player panels he is familiar with, and he can understand most of the attribute data.
The bad news is that his panel seems to be a bit biased...
Obviously, his initial attribute points seem to have all been skewed to the charm value. In layman's terms, that is appearance.
A 100-point charm value is the full score, 80 points are considered high-value, and 90 points are the level of full return rate on the street. For example, his initial score of 95 points may be close to the level of uniqueness.
At this time, you may ask, it's just a card game, what's the use of having a high appearance? Can you draw the card you want just by being handsome?
Hey, you may not understand this. The NPCs in this game all have a built-in favorability system. The higher the favorability of a key NPC to you, the more likely you are to trigger the plot on him/her, and you may even get a rare card reward.
So some players can rely on their high charm value to do everything they can to lick the NPC girl (brother) they like. As long as they wait patiently until the favorability is full, then the player can get what he/she wants...
......Playing cards with an NPC lady (little brother).
Heh, what are you thinking about? Linked World is a serious online card game, but it has passed the review, and there is absolutely no unhealthy game content.
95 charm points are pretty good, after all, being handsome is not a bad thing. Besides, the appearance of book lovers and drama fans is generally getting better these days, and the market generally reflects that the protagonist is not handsome and has no sense of substitution. Therefore, it is embarrassing to be the protagonist if the appearance is not above the average level these days.
However, lucky 20 is a bit painful.
It’s not that you can’t draw the desired card during the duel if the luck value is low-according to this world view setting, whether you can draw a god depends on the "bond between the duelist and the card", which has little to do with the luck attribute.
The luck attribute here affects the probability of hitting when you activate those effects such as flipping a coin to guess the head and the tail.
If you have lucky 20, it basically means that you will lose every gamble in your life, that is, when you flip a coin, you will guess the head and the tail, and you will guess the head and the tail.
In this regard, Youyu estimates that the luck value of Senior Katsuya Jonouchi in the Yu-Gi-Oh animation should be above 90. Most of this big guy's deck is gambling effects. This person's luck is so strong that it is almost supernatural. In the original animation, a mortal relied on his strong luck to win the runner-up of the Duel Kingdom Competition and the semi-finals of the Duel City Competition.
We usually use two words to describe this kind of person - gambling monster.
Next is endurance and physical strength, these two data are directly related.
At this time, you may ask again - what is the relationship between playing cards and endurance?
However, according to the world view of Yu-Gi-Oh, playing cards is indeed related to endurance. Although the monsters summoned and activated by both sides of the duel are three-dimensional images, they will still cause physical impact on the duelists according to the setting.
The endurance value directly corresponds to the player's physical strength limit. The physical strength 3/3 in Youyu's panel means that he can duel a total of three times with good physical strength. More than three times will exceed the physical strength limit and cannot fight again.
If the stamina value is between 40 and 50, you can fight four games in a row, between 50 and 60, you can fight five games in a row, and above 60, you can fight six games, and so on.
So playing cards is actually a physical activity, and there are certain requirements for the duelist's stamina.
Stamina 35 is obviously below the passing line, which makes You Yu feel a little annoyed.
After all, men, if you don't have stamina, no matter how good your skills are, it's useless. (Referring to card skills)
Poor physical strength directly affects the upgrade speed, but this attribute may also increase with the level increase.
In the connected world, you must gain experience points by dueling with others or completing tasks, and the upgrade will be accompanied by some rewards such as cards and crystals.
Cards can be exchanged for a very limited number of cards at the system, and crystals can be used to draw card packs at the system.
It is precisely because of the system channels that players even have the opportunity to obtain cards that should not have existed in the background era of Yu-Gi-Oh.
But that's all later.
Now, You Yu must think carefully about what to do next as an unknown NPC passerby in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!
