178 – Nymphs and the Dark Game # 2

He said that it is important to meditate consistently and not skip it.

I sat cross-legged in the living room and exhaled or inhaled.

At that time, I heard Illinois laughing.

“Mmm, the secret card installed by Illinois is activating… ! It is a “Squirrel trap”… ! The attack power of all monsters summoned this turn will be reduced by 500… !”

“Hey… ! The attack power of the “Death Squirrel” That Oinoi just summoned has become 0… ! This is why it is not a squirrel of death, but just a cute little squirrel… !”

“It is a desperate moment… ! This Coris has no way of predicting who will win this game… ! In fact, Coris doesn’t even know the rules of this game… !”

Hu-ha-.

I continued to catch my breath and tried to focus on meditation.

However, thanks to the nymphs who had been chatting for hours, today’s meditation was a complete failure.

“What’s so fun about them?”

I went out to the yard where fall was fast approaching and the leaves were starting to fall.

Then, the nymphs who were laying down their mats in the yard where the cool wind was blowing spoke to me.

“The owner of the house should also join us… ! This “Dual Stone” Thing is very interesting… ! This Oinoi is such that you don’t even notice the passage of time… !”

「Dual Stone」.

It was a game where the winner was the person who reduced the opponent’s health to 0 using various cards.

Because there are various types of cards and various tactics, it is popular among people of all ages as a board game.

Also, there is a collectible element, so it is said that among the rare cards, there are cards worth billions.

Teto, an Egyptian S ranker, became a hot topic by purchasing “God’s Card”.

A person who burns billions on a single card in a card game.

The financial power of S rankers was truly enviable.

“It’s amazing that it’s popular again.”

I was very surprised that “Dual Stone,” Which was popular when I was in elementary school, has recently become popular again.

They said they were reprinting cards that were only sold in the past and actively holding competitions, but in the case of Egypt, where this card was made, they are encouraging Duel Stones at a national level?

“This “Dimension Rift Mystery Pack” Is very important… ! In this pack, you can obtain the rare cards “Dog Squirrel” And “Honey Ant”… !”

What is the “Dimension Rift Mystery Pack”?

Is this the latest card pack?

Dog squirrels and honey ants appear as cards.

It was a moment when I felt that card games were also evolving in line with changes in the world.

“Hey! Illinois! “I told you to wait outside in the yard when I arrived at lunch!”

At that time, Seo Ye-rim arrived at the well house.

Seo Ye-rim frowned as she looked at Illinois, who was playing a card game.

“Wow, this guy always spends a lot of money just to draw God’s cards from card packs… ! Heildo, you’ve been causing a lot of trouble with Illinois these days… !”

Seo Ye-rim blamed Illinois and the nymphs for being so absorbed in card games as if it were my fault.

I gave Illinois a “Dual Stone Card Pack” A while ago, and it seems she has been in vain ever since. It was a reasonable story.

“Mmm, that Illinois is targeting the “Fairy of the Underworld – Osiris”… ! The thing is, no one has gotten their hands on it yet… ! No one can stop Illinois… !”

Three types of God’s cards that were only released once in the world.

Illinois seemed to be buying card packs with all the money they had, hoping to get one of them.

That unit is so enormous.

Thanks to this, the nymphs who have more cards left are said to be having fun constructing their desired decks from the countless card pools.

Zek-.

Seo Ye-rim wiped the sunglasses on her forehead with her glasses cleaner and let out a sigh.

“Because this guy in Illinois is buying card packs with his corporate card like a crazy person, there are even rumors that Telos and Egypt’s Duel Stones Company are collaborating, and the stock price is fluctuating.”

“That much?”

“In fact, while we were talking about it, we also collaborated. Egypt’s Dual Stones company proposed it first. “I don’t know why a company that rarely moves has moved.”

The Duel Stones were huge megacorps comparable to Telos.

I heard that Egypt’s 5th industry is responsible for more than 70% of GDP?

And I heard that due to the great performance of Dual Stones, Egypt has leapt to become an economic powerhouse with the 4th largest GDP in the world.

“This time, Telos will join hands with Duel Stones to create a mobile game. I will also advertise myself. Hail and you too. Did you understand?”

Mobile release of the famous card game.

Indeed, that was why Egypt’s S-ranker Teto came to Korea.

“Seo Ye-rim, you’ve had a hard time. “I will praise you.”

I gently extended my hand towards Seo Ye-rim.

This was because there was a training list that required stroking Kore’s head.

“What are those hands? Who are you kidding now? Joy!”

However, Seo Ye-rim was a tougher woman than an angry nerd.

Thinking that it might be safer to stick her arm into the mouth of a hungry shark than to stroke her head, I decided to take the next opportunity.

“Dual Stones Official Competition” Held to commemorate the release of the mobile game.

People from all over the world came to Seoul for the competition held in Korea.

“Mmm, this shows off Illinois’ skills… ! That Illinois deck is a “Capitalist deck” That uses high-cost monsters… ! It shows the power of capitalism… !”

Illinois announced its participation in the card game competition.

The “Capitalism Deck” Used by Illinois is a deck that uses the field card “Capitalism,” And is a deck that throws a dice and exerts effects according to the number rolled?

It can be said to be a deck whose performance is determined by the luck of the dice.

I also feel like I wonder what capitalism has to do with dice.

“Mmm, luck is also important in a capitalist society… ! No matter how hard you try, if you are unlucky, you can become a loser… !”

That seems to be the case.

Soon, Oinoi, the nymph of the ditch, also looked at her deck of cards and trembled.

“I’m curious to see how far Oinoi can go with the “Squirrel Deck”… ! The Squirrel deck is a deck that randomly summons low-level squirrels and pushes them in the early stages… !”

Oinoi used a “Squirrel Deck” That dominated the field in the early stages and relentlessly pushed the opponent.

After pushing the opponent with various squirrel cards in the beginning, “Crumbling…” It’s a deck that finishes off the squirrels in one go by increasing the attack power of the squirrels with reinforcement cards like !

“This Coris uses the “Core Deck”… ! I have three copies of the super rare card “Blue-Eyes Kore”… ! If they fuse together, they will become the “Ultimate Blue-Eyes Kore”… !”

I’m not sure what deck Coris uses.

In the first place, it was questionable whether Coris understood the rules of the card game well.

Anyway.

I was satisfied that the nymphs were enjoying the cultural life of the 21st century and living happily every day.

I feel like I am faithful to my role as the nymphs’ temporary guardian.

Of course, the reason I came to watch the card competition wasn’t just because of the nymphs.

“Hello, all people.”

A woman standing on a podium held her microphone and spoke to the people.

Korean is fluent and elegant.

“Today is an auspicious day blessed by the gods, so it is a very good day to do something big.”

She was a striking woman with bronze skin and long, orange hair. Her eyes sparkled gold and seemed to be radiating light.

She was dressed in silky clothes like an ancient goddess, and her appearance, holding a staff made of gold, red onyx, sapphire, and diamond stones like a king, was indeed the rumor itself.

“That person is “Priest – Teto”… !”

Egypt’s S ranker.

If you look at the rankings alone, he is ranked 4th in the S rank, one level higher than Achilles, who is called the ‘strongest’.

I was slightly moved by the appearance of a woman who had only been filled with mysterious rumors because she did not appear at official events!

“He is a person that is rarely seen!”

It was quite surprising that someone who rarely gives interviews and is not easily exposed to the media came to Korea to celebrate the opening of a card game tournament.

It seems that even the mysterious priest Teto cannot help but be sincere when it comes to promoting “Dual Stone,” Which is called the national game in Egypt.

“Start!”

“One week from now. Seoul will become a battlefield for the Duel Stone… !”

“Ordinary people, get out of Seoul!”

Competition begins.

People began to scatter, and the nymphs also raised their hands in the air.

From noble mtl dot com

“Let’s all do our best… !”

It was said that the competition would be held for a week.

Duel Stone users meet and compete against each other, steal each other’s points, and advance to the preliminary round, main round, and final.

A competition that uses Seoul as the stage.

This was a passage that showed how much interest the Korean government has in the collaboration of megacorps.

As an aside, the participants were wearing mechanical devices on their wrists.

This is Osa Group’s latest gaming PC, and it has the ability to show various things in augmented reality, so it costs millions of won each.

The competition is now in full swing.

“But Lee Jin, why are you wearing that disc?”

I asked.

Then Jinah Lee found me and shrugged her shoulders.

“I also participated in the competition.”

“Is this a true story?”

I was quite surprised by the fact that Jinah Lee played a card game like “Dual Stone.” I thought he would never do something like that.

Card games are generally an Indian hobby.

Anyone can see that this guy loves the outdoors.

“Why is this happening? I also played some cards. Steal from the shady guys in your class. I also stole a lot of rare cards. “This is my card.”

Zek-.

Jinah Lee took out her card from between her tank top.

Where on earth did she keep the card…? !?

… I couldn’t understand it.

Anyway, Jinah Lee stole cards from her classmates and played the game.

I understood.

Lee Jin-ah immediately asked me.

“Aren’t you participating in Hail too? I thought the prize for this contest would be quite desirable to you. “The winner gets an official card with their name on it.”

What?

I didn’t know that.

Are you saying that if I win the contest, a “Living Legend – Haildo” Card will be created?

It would be great to increase your fame!

“You can apply to participate by registering your deck by 1 PM today. “There are two hours left.”

“Jin Lee, did you also participate to aim for the winning prize?”

“No. I am because of the request. Gangsters I know commissioned it. It’s said that a secret society that plays a “Game of darkness” Participated in this competition. They are all awakened, so they are a dangerous group. “Risk level is A rank.”

It was like a cartoon.

But Lee Jin-ah’s expression was serious.

“Some of the juniors I know are actually in a daze because they lost in a card game. I heard it takes a few days to recover. “There is also a missing gangster named Kim Dal-geon.”

“Really? “There was nothing like that in the news?”

“This competition has more than one award. In particular, the woman called the “Priest” Was also suspicious. Heil and you too, be careful. “You always cause trouble and trouble.”

Lee Jin-ah, who said that, quickly disappeared somewhere.

Indeed, it is so.

I was worried about the nymphs.
