Chapter 73 Science Ink Card
"My card?" Judai took a sip of herbal tea, thought about it, and then smiled brightly and said, "Of course I printed it myself, just like the teacher taught me in class~"
"But I never heard you printing a card..." Ed pressed his temple with a headache: "Do you print cards by resonating with a very weak duel elf? This... doesn't fit your personality! Don't you think so, Kanna?"
"Judai is incredible!" The white-haired loli drinking herbal tea raised her hands high, made a gesture like hugging the sun, and said, "A hero who can resonate very well, incredible!"
"A hero who can resonate very well..." Ed frowned, pinched his chin and began to analyze the amount of information in Kanna's words.
He was so serious that he didn't even notice that the coolant in his hand was pouring into his crotch.
This is a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Cards cannot be bought here. All students have only two ways to get cards.
The first is to wait for the monthly supply to arrive. Every month, a special ship carrying supplies arrives at Nuts Island, of which only one box is cards, and each person can pick up to ten cards.
However, because the training camp has a strict ranking system, the first students to pick cards are those with higher rankings; this leads to the Matthew effect, the stronger the person, the stronger the card (in general), and if the weaker students do not rely on their own ability to play a bad hand of cards to improve their ranking, then they are destined to become weaker and weaker.
Fortunately, Duel Monster Cards do not have absolute strength in the strict sense, and the power of a systematic deck is often difficult to match with a powerful single card...
This is actually not right. There are indeed ruthless characters in this world who can open up the opponent's field with just one card, but at least at the level of Nuts Island students, the theory of "combination>>single card" is still tenable.
Let's stop talking about it and get back to the topic of student supply cards. Even with such harsh conditions, monthly supplies are still the most critical means for students to obtain cards, because this is much simpler than the second way to obtain cards on the island.
The second way to obtain new cards on this Nuts Island is to print them yourself.
That's right, print them yourself, and not by using the IFD card printer, but by using a method called "Duel Spirit Resonance".
According to the instructors in the training camp, this card printing method first requires a "base card" with spiritual power. The use of this "base card" is the focus of the training camp, so every student has it; then the duelist who can communicate with the duel spirit may borrow power from the duel spirit when communicating with the spirit, and then the "base card" will become the shape of the borrowed power.
If the spirit swears allegiance or assists you in other ways, it may form a monster card; and if the spirit shares a piece of knowledge with you, whether you understand it or not - to be precise, most people can't understand it - it can become a magic trap card.
"Mastering Inka will give you a preliminary understanding of Duel Spirits." This sentence is printed on the first page of the textbook on Nuts Island. It seems to be said by a professor named Li Zheng.
Generally speaking, "Inka" is not something mysterious here. There is a strict theory and training method; but this thing is like college students learning quantum mechanics. There are theories, courses, and professors, but they just can't learn it...
This has led to the fact that most students don't know how to start at all - even though they were ordered by their families and other organizations before they came here to master the secrets of Duel Spirits here, but the reason why the mystery is called a mystery is to explain that this thing is difficult to learn.
This leads to a very contradictory result - in order to get the recognition of the duel elves, the duelists generally need to be strong enough, but the lack of strong cards makes it difficult for students to awaken their talents in this area and cannot sublimate duel elves from their own decks...
This is a vicious cycle, and it is different from the monthly supply in that it is impossible to save the situation by combining a weak deck by yourself, because this may eventually lead to the awakened duel elves being a weak elf - to be precise, most students do not want the duel elves they awaken to be sublimated from a weak deck.
The Nuts Island training camp is very complicated. It is not only an educational institution, but also a stage for countless dark duel organizations in the night world to play games. If the boys and girls who are sent here for training with great difficulty take a weak duel elf like "Disruption Yellow" back, their status will be quite dangerous.
The course itself is difficult to learn, and the students are arrogant and unwilling to start from a low difficulty, so it is even more difficult to print cards.
Although Ed Phoenix was not sent by any organization, he could hear a lot of such news from his followers, which is why he thought Judai Yuki was very strange.
【Based on my own experience of communicating with Duel Spirits, the more powerful the Duel Spirits are, the stronger the power they burst out at the moment of successful manifestation. When the "Hero of Destiny·Fear Man" broke the iron chain of the bell tower and swore allegiance to me, the whole island heard the bell; but this guy took out the "Elemental Hero·Eternal Man" that he had never seen before and beat my Fear Man, which means that this stronger monster did not move...】
Ed's eyes opened slightly and glanced at Judai and Kanna-chan. He found that they were looking at Ed with surprised eyes at this time. He thought hurriedly: [They looked at me like this, did they notice my problem? Could it be that...this man has been hiding something? My question today is close to his facts, so he plans to take action? It really makes people's backs cold... Wait, why are my legs cold? 】
Ed then looked at his lower body and found that his pants were soaked with herbal tea...
Because it was just taken out of the cold storage and the instructor who guarded the cold storage also gave him two bags of dry ice, the herbal tea was refreshing... well, in other words, it was completely cold.
This thing suddenly soaked Ed's pants, and the result was...
"Ah! So cold!"
So, Ed Phoenix's questioning and analysis of Yucheng Judai came to an end.
——————Little White Rabbit——————
Judai's card was naturally printed.
Ed's questions this afternoon made Judai feel very strange. In his opinion, this should be an instinct like eating and drinking water. Why did Ed suddenly want to ask this?
Tonight, Judai fell asleep after a day of excitement.
In his dream, he walked into a garden on a high mountain, and across the garden he could see a city full of lights and wine.
The garden was very run-down, in stark contrast to the bright and beautiful skyscrapers in the city.
Judai walked to the pavilion in the middle of the garden like an old guest, and sat down.
Someone was already waiting here.
"Good evening, this is...how many times have we met?"
