Chapter 29: Page 29

"Why...I...uh..."

The girl's sobbing became louder and louder, and then, finally she couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears.

Some time ago, a pillar of light suddenly appeared in the city, reaching the sky. The light pillar lasted for three or four days. Afterwards, many strange things happened around her one after another.

Although the back alleys were full of strange things, the frequency was obviously much faster.

Not to mention the "piano sound" that resounded throughout the city, even around her, some things would occasionally happen. She had seen the heads of adults in the neighborhood suddenly explode like balloons, and she had seen some people who were originally fine suddenly turn into all kinds of strange shapes.

She knew that this was how the city was, and strange things would always happen.

She also thought that maybe one day, she would become a monster that was not human.

But she didn't expect that this day would come so soon, so soon that she was not prepared at all.

"Woo..."

She didn't know when it started, but she found that she seemed to become very "thirsty", but even though she was very thirsty, she didn't want to drink water.

As the days passed, her thoughts became more and more intense, and she became more and more hungry. She acquired some strange powers without any teacher, and could even make people sleep, change their appearance, and become strong and powerful. But at the same time, she also began to fear running water, so when she saw Zhaoye using the torrent burial, she didn't dare to step forward and could only stand behind.

She didn't know what was happening to her, but when she looked at others, she always wanted to collect their blood - she didn't have any appetite for blood, she just had this desire and thought.

She didn't understand anything, but she felt that it was definitely wrong to attack people. She didn't like human flesh, and she didn't want to eat people. She just felt disgusted...

However, when she saw You Zhou today and noticed a strange glow on him, the desire in her heart was completely ignited and she couldn't control herself at all.

She wants blood!

It was not until Youzhou dueled with Hei Tao and the light on his body gradually dissipated - or merged into the card, that Eudora finally suppressed her desire to eat people.

However, at this point, she finally couldn't help herself, so she secretly stole a few unconscious people, hypnotized them with her ability, and then secretly collected their blood in glass bottles.

But in the end, she couldn't escape and was caught by Zhao Ye.

At that time, she wanted to control Zhaoye, make Zhaoye fall asleep and forget what she had done, but she didn't expect that the moment Shiyue appeared, she would be cut in half instantly.

"Um... Woo..." She stood up and tried hard to wipe away her tears with her only remaining arm.

Even so, she didn't want to die.

"It's so late..."

"Alas, I have to work overtime until this time today..."

A few exhausted-looking office workers walked by in the alley, not noticing her.

If I were to sneak up on them at this time, pierce them with my claws, and suck their blood dry, I should be able to...

She tried hard to support her body and slowly stopped sobbing.

No, I can't... I can't...

She gritted her teeth.

At least, at least it shouldn't be like this...

She tried hard

Maintaining his remaining sanity, he gritted his teeth and controlled his blood vessels.

Red blood vessels slowly extended from her broken limbs, slowly forming a complete shoulder.

But she had lost too much blood and was not strong enough to fully recover. She had no choice but to "tear down the east wall to repair the west wall" and slowly draw out the blood vessels in her intact body and then replace them in the missing arm.

Ten minutes later, after her unremitting efforts, she finally had a complete arm. Although it was made entirely of blood vessels, at least it looked like an arm.

As a price, her chest became almost transparent, and through her chest one could see inside her body, her internal organs and bones.

"So be it……"

She gritted her teeth, barely held on to the new arm with her left hand, supported her body, and staggered out.

Although she looked scary now, as long as she put on clothes, protective sleeves and gloves and covered herself tightly, no one would be able to notice her weirdness.

Not long after, the alley returned to peace, and the entire back alley seemed to have entered a rare state of tranquility.

In this situation, Zhaoye returned to his loyal Hanno board game store.

In the store, Vivian and Lin were facing the door nervously. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhao Ye coming back.

Although Lin has grown a lot, she has a soft personality. Although she has fighting ability, she doesn't know to what extent she can perform. In this situation, having lost her backbone, they are of course panicked.

Fortunately, Zhao Ye came back.

"Manager--" Two people came forward hurriedly, one helped Zhao Ye get things, and the other carefully looked at Zhao Ye to see if he was injured.

Zhao Ye looked back, smiled, and shook his head at them.

Although he couldn't see or find it, he guessed that October had probably followed him all the way.

With October, such a strong fighter, he is not really worried about his own safety.

Zhao Ye showed them the company registration form and made them happy. Then after Vivian saved it, Zhao Ye advised them to go to rest quickly.

Now, the duel disk has been manufactured, and it has successfully stimulated people's secondary emotions. In this case, after the game is over, Zhao Ye’s next stage goal should begin.

To be honest, the speed of progress was beyond Zhaoye's expectations.

Originally, according to Zhao Ye's expectation, he would have to wait until the end of the game before he would have a chance to create the duel disk. However, he did not expect that the urban people were indeed extraordinary and the power they stimulated was more than he had imagined. In addition, with You Zhou, a "rare experimental subject", Zhao Ye accelerated the progress of the duel disk and was able to make it this afternoon.

Just one day of competition, with dozens of people sitting at a table that hardly inspires emotion, can absorb so much emotional power.

If Zhaoye promoted the duel to the entire back alley of Area 10, and even to the entire nest and even the entire city in the future, the emotions that would be gained would probably reach an astronomical figure.

At that level, even God-level cards might be able to be successfully manufactured.

but……

It is not a good thing to be too ambitious. Now I can only barely make electronic dragons and some vampire cards.

He looked at the new card box that came out of the gashapon machine and picked it up silently.

"The relationship between Hei Tao and You Zhou is indeed high enough." He opened the card box and looked at the cards one by one.

Originally, although these undead "Dice Gang" members were able to advance Zhaoye's research on the cards, the emotional points and quality of the gashapon machine were not enough. After the fierce duel between Spade and Youzhou, the cards no longer needed to wait and were successfully produced.

There are no other electronic dragons in the card box, but there are almost all the undead and vampire series from the first generation.

even……

"Vampire witch?" Zhao Ye pulled out the card with one hand, looked at the strange blood mist flowing on the card, and then looked down at the bloodstains and bloodstains on his body.

"I see……"

He chuckled, walked to the second-floor window, gently opened it, took the card outside, and threw it into the sky.

"Go find the person you're looking for."

Zhao Ye always keeps his word. Since he is given a chance, he will naturally not be stingy.

He was also very curious about how far "people" of different races would go.

Chapter 30 Blank Card

A new day, a new beginning.

The shop is open as usual at night.

October came to the store early as usual, and it seemed as if she had been standing at the door waiting for it to open.

After this, it comes to

The boat and poker agency reported to the store.

Because it was still early for the competition and not yet scheduled to be held, Zhaoye had time to continue chatting with his "new employees".

First, Zhaoye observed the condition of the boat.

He is a very rare sample. Although Zhao Ye has only obtained less than one hundred duelist players during this period, including special people like October and Wicks, You Zhou is still the most special sample among them.

There is a special kind of energy in Youzhou's body. To put it in some analogy, it is somewhat like the "planetary particles" used to drive synchronized summons and perpetual motion machines in "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS". However, compared to the planetary particles, the strange power in Youzhou's body is much milder, and in terms of quantity, it is also very rare.

But even that little bit of power can be used in conjunction with his emotional stimulation to create a super powerful card like "Pioneer".

Zhaoye thought that the reason why the vampire targeted Youzhou and showed such an "appetite" was probably because of this.

However, after the Chaos Warriors were stimulated in accordance with the emotional level, these powers dissipated. At present, it seems that it may take a long time or special circumstances before they have a chance to reappear.

As for the Poker Agency, they are the main subjects of Zhao Ye's inquiry this time.

"Good morning, everyone." Zhaoye said to the Spade trio.

"Uh... good morning," Spade tried to respond.

"Just say whatever you want to say. Tell us quickly what you want us to do!" Meihua looked a little grumpy.

"Everyone, please be patient." Zhao Ye shook his head. "Before that, I have some questions to ask."

The three cyborgs looked at each other, then turned back to look at Zhaoye. Hei Tao spoke up and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"As far as I know, firms and closers have corresponding levels...classes? Can you tell me about your firm?"

Spades said without hesitation: "Our poker agency is a seventh-level agency. Among them, Clubs and Hearts are seventh-level finishers, and I am a sixth-level one."

So low...

Zhaoye raised his eyebrows.

According to him, Wicks, an ordinary member of the Zwei Association's Southern Sixth Department, has a sixth-order rank. Unexpectedly, he is equivalent to the director of this firm.

The levels of the city's finishers seem to be calculated from the ninth level to the highest level "first level" finishers. Among them, some powerful or special first level finishers will be given "colors" and become color-level finishers.

"So what kind of work do you usually accept?"

"Basically, it's [Urban Tales]. Occasionally, I'll try [Urban Legends] if I get the chance."

"Ghost stories and legends...haha, sorry, I don't know much about these. Can you tell me about them?"

Spade felt weird.

How could there be people in the city who don’t know this?

But since he was living under someone else's roof, it didn't matter if he gave a simple explanation. He continued, "So-called [urban legends] refer to phenomena or organizations that have caused the disappearance or death of several people; [urban legends] refer to phenomena or organizations that have caused the death, injury, and disappearance of hundreds of people. As for [urban diseases] that involve the disappearance or death of thousands of people, we cannot touch them."

I see--

Zhaoye nodded.

According to this rating, my board game store should barely be considered at the "weird story" level.

However, although the rating may only be enough to be called a "weird story", if anyone really treats it as some inferior weird story and attacks it, he will suffer a lot.

"So how much is the commission each time?"

"It ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions. Well, it depends on the situation."

Zhaoye nodded and roughly understood.

Not much, if you think about it, the level of this firm is not very high.

"There are some monsters that appear in the back alleys sometimes, right? The purely inhuman kind."

"of course."

"So you will occasionally accept some commissions involving this level, right?" Zhao Ye slowly arranged the things on the table.

"Um... yes." Hei Tao didn't quite understand what Zhao Ye wanted to do.

"Okay then—" Zhao Ye slowly took out a stack of cards from the side and slowly pushed it in front of the three people. The three people raised their heads and came over, not knowing what was going on.

"A blank card?" Red Heart exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, why are there blank cards?" Plum Blossom couldn't help but ask, "No effect, no race, no star rating... a card with nothing on it, why would they create such a card?"

Spade slowly took the cards in his hand. It was a thick stack, with what looked like thirty or forty cards.

Why are there blank cards?

He couldn't help but start asking himself.

During a duel, every card has its value, but what value does a blank card have?

He slowly pulled out his deck of cards.

After experiencing the duel with You Zhou yesterday, his attitude towards duel suddenly changed drastically.
