Episode 84 I Sometimes… Enjoy Duels by Clone
‘… … Is it because it’s the original solution? This is crazy!’
This is more intense than drinking a whiskey without ice.
‘Ehhhhh… … .’
I smiled as I looked at the golden bottle.
This allows Turret-Aid to be placed on the main menu rather than a limited menu.
* * *
The next day, at dawn.
Beep be …
“Umm… … .”
A clone who wakes up to the weather alarm.
He got up straight away and went to the room where the slaves were.
Drumroll-
A swan sleeping soundly and a tin can that appears to be turned off and is motionless.
And as he watched Balina groaning as if she was having a nightmare, he tapped the frying pan his clone had brought with a spoon.
“Get up! Get up! It’s time to get to work!”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh… … It’s already dawn… … .”
The clone pushed the backs of the slaves, each showing a different reaction.
“There’s no time, so move quickly!”
Their dawn is busier than anyone else’s day.
Crunch-
Creating a huge selection of specialty sandwiches is a basic option.
Bubbling-
I had to make the essence of the scent of the sea.
Fast-
The dried golden ammonium had to be ground into a fine powder.
In addition, there were so many things to do, such as making ice for shaved ice using ice cubes and even making flour dough for the Demon King’s waffles and fish-shaped bread.
“To your seats!”
But the clone was confident.
Because in this hellish manufacturing process, they have already been reborn as trained warriors.
“Wah!”
It looks like the swans have already started.
Every time the guy’s screams echoed through the kitchen.
Tadadadadadadak-
Slices of bread with their edges neatly cut off were stacked on one side.
Once the ingredients are gathered, he quickly stacks the bread and ingredients in order to create a sandwich.
That’s a perfect process! Perfect breathing!
On one side, a can was pouring dried golden amaranth into a machine.
Soon a fine powder began to flow out from inside the machine.
The tin can held it all together nicely in the barrel.
That wasn’t the end.
“Ugh! Haaap!”
On the other hand, Balina is busy extracting the original essence from Iris.
At the same time, he was showing off his crazy moves while roasting coffee.
‘Perfect!’
It’s a really perfect work site.
Of course, this is not the end.
“Tch!”
The finished products are quickly loaded onto trucks.
‘This has also become more comfortable than before.’
In the past, you had to carry these back and forth to the underground parking lot several times.
The forklift was now parked in the yard, making it possible to quickly load the goods.
2 hours later.
“Work is done!”
The clones and slaves who finished the work with crazy skill.
“You have free time until dinner! But, Tin, finish all the work on the golden amanas, and you too, Balina. Finish roasting them in advance!”
With those words, the clone went straight outside and boarded the truck.
Today the owner went into the tower early in the morning.
“I can now go all the way to the 41st floor. So I’m going to go check it out. I heard the turrets have changed a bit, but it’s better to see it in person than on YouTube, right? Anyway, I’m going!”
He must fill the empty spot left by the owner who left for the 41st floor.
To be honest, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t annoying.
“Ehhhh… … .”
But there was a bright smile on the face of the clone who was climbing onto the top car.
‘This is… … an opportunity!’
If only I could finish my work at the cafe.
He will be able to enjoy a little freedom.
I’m in a hurry.
‘I need to finish up work at the cafe quickly first.’
About 8 hours after the clone arrived at the cafe.
“Come in, sir!”
“Oh, okay. Good work!”
I didn’t feel any particular suspicion today either.
‘At this point, there’s no way I can be suspicious.’
Even on a regular basis, he would pay close attention to his master’s actions and small habits and copy them perfectly.
So how can you possibly get caught!
“Ehhhh… … .”
My steps as I leave the cafe are light.
Now that his master is away, he is truly free.
‘I have to go there today too.’
He has recently developed a hobby.
And today I plan to go do it.
“Dual? Well, yeah. You’re having a hard time too, so that’s okay.”
Of course, I have already asked the owner’s permission.
So the clone quickly moved forward.
He raised his head as he entered the large shopping street.
[Dual Zone-Yeonsinnae Branch]
Dual Zone has thousands of stores nationwide.
My blood boils as I think about the battle that is about to come.
‘Today too… … I win.’
The clone entered the store with renewed determination.
There were numerous tables inside the spacious store.
“Uhm… … Place the hidden Mimic card on the battlefield and end your turn.”
“I activate the Trap Card. Activate Endless Pit! Return the card you just placed to its owner’s hand.”
“Ugh… … .”
I noticed quite a few people who appeared to be office workers, as well as students who had already gotten off school.
‘This is it!’
The clone sat at an empty table, fiddling with the pack of cards he had brought with him.
In fact, it was largely his master’s fault that he developed this hobby.
‘I’ve been strangely drawn to it ever since the day the owner brought me a pack of cards.’
Card games were quite an interesting subject for him.
Fight your opponent with cards and compete for total points.
How interesting this is!
‘I should be grateful to my master for allowing me to discover a new world.’
In addition, the supply of cards was smooth because the owner bought a lot of card packs.
Thanks to that, the decks he uses at full power exceed 5, including a graveyard deck, an extinction deck, and a resurrection deck.
‘From today on, we absolutely have to win!’
[The 10th National Duel Competition] was currently underway in the Duel Zone.
The method of participation is simple.
If you win 10 matches in the Dual Zone within the participation period, you will be given the opportunity to participate in the main tournament.
And he already had eight wins.
‘If I just get two more wins… … Hehehe… … .’
At that moment, the clone was smiling happily.
“Can I sit here?”
A man came to him and asked him a question.
“Oh, yes.”
“Shall we start right away?”
There’s no need for a long explanation for a duelist.
What matters is the cards you hand out on the duel board!
[Dual Start!]
Paching-
[Lee Seong-min – HP 4,000]
[Kim In-seong – HP 4,000]
The names and HP of each other registered in the Duel Zone appear at the bottom of the screen.
“Then I’ll start first. I’ll place Mulden’s doll on the battlefield and end my turn.”
Ss …
[Mulden’s doll]
Atk: 600 / Def: 1,200
A doll installed by the opponent appears on the 3D screen in the center of the table.
‘Hmm… … Black Horse Deck… … .’
There aren’t many decks that use Mulden’s doll.
‘Of course, it could just be because it’s low cost, but it’s more likely to be a black magic deck.’
The Black Horse Deck’s operation is quite simple.
Continually deploy dolls on the battlefield and withstand the opponent’s attacks.
But once the cards that were far from your hand are drawn, the situation changes.
‘The moment Muldoon enters the field, all the dolls in the graveyard will come back to life.’
The resurrection of the dolls is also a problem.
An even bigger problem is that the summoned beings that were created by sacrificing dolls as bosses on this floor are descending onto the battlefield.
‘Usually, the key is to finish it before Muldoon comes out onto the field… … .’
The clone smiled faintly and placed a card on the field.
“I place the Magic Card, Fishing Rod of Enchantment, and end my turn.”
The fishing rod of fascination.
At the end of each turn, you may draw a random card from your deck.
“… … ?”
There is a question mark on the opponent’s face.
‘You must be wondering what my deck is.’
“Spend 1 cost to place a doll of Mulden on the battlefield and attack the target.”
Pfft …
The two dolls deployed on the battlefield beat their virtual clones without hesitation.
[Kim In-seong – HP 2,800]
All of the blood was lost in an instant, but it was okay.
“It’s my turn. I’ll place the pure white bread on the battlefield and restore 1,000 HP.”
“hmm…….”
The one-time card, Pure White Bread, completes its mission and disappears from the field.
“Then deploy the Orc Warrior, attack Mulden’s doll, and end the turn.”
[Coooooooooooo!]
Ppagaaaaak-
The Orc Warrior smashes the doll’s face with his axe.
The first doll was destroyed from the field.
“I will place Mulden’s doll on the battlefield and end my turn.”
“I place an Orc Archer on the field, destroy the doll, and end my turn.”
The dolls placed on the battlefield were smashed.
The orcs are defeated by the dolls’ attacks.
* * *
‘What the heck is this deck? Is it an Orc deck?’
The man looked at the other person seriously and thought about it.
‘But if you call it an Orc deck, there’s no Orc Village and no Orc Shaman… … Well, does it matter?’
If he holds on and holds on, he will eventually win.
Besides, HP management is currently in good condition.
The number of dolls spread out on the battlefield is also 2. It is more than enough to win.
‘No matter what my opponent’s deck is, as long as I get it in my hand, I win!’
You already have one of the core summons of your deck in hand: Corroded Hellhound.
‘Just come out as far as you can!’
At that time, when he was half-confident of his victory.
A faint smile appears on the other person’s lips.
“I will sacrifice three orc archers and a goblin rider from the battlefield to summon the owner of the fantasy shop to the field.”
That moment.
Ta-da-
A masked man appears on the 3D screen.
“……uh?”
‘That’s… a new card, right?’
[No. 999 The Ever-Breaking Heart – The Owner of the Fantasy Shop]
That card has already been well received by many duelists.
The special ability is a special ability, but more than anything, the fact that the number of sacrifices required is smaller than that of other cards also had a big effect.
“I will end my turn.”
When the other person finished speaking.
Clang-
A convenience store appeared on the 3D screen, and then the door opened wide.
“I will draw a product card exclusively for the Fantasy Shop. Then, I will randomly destroy one of the Strategist cards in your hand.”
“Ugh… … .”
After a while.
“… … .”
The man stared blankly down at the field.
‘What is this… … .’
From the moment the shopkeeper card appeared on the field, everything happened in an instant.
Exclusive to the Fantasy Shop – Each product card has a different special ability that interferes with his duels.
Above all, every time the opponent’s turn ended, the attacker card in hand was destroyed.
When the card you were barely holding in your hand is destroyed.
The man shouted abstention without hesitation.
‘That card seems like such a scam… … . It doesn’t require many sacrifices, and its stats aren’t bad either. Why would you put out a card like that?!’
The man cursed inwardly, but at the same time, one thought occurred to him.
‘I definitely need to get one too!’
If you don’t see a winning angle, it might be wise to join!
* * *
“Thank you for your effort.”
The clone who shook hands with the opponent smiled and put the cards away.
‘Is this your 9th win?’
The clone looked at the card with the owner’s image on it and smiled.
‘The more I use it, the more I feel that it’s a scam.’
However, we cannot let our guard down just because the card itself is of a high class.
‘It hasn’t been that long since the new pack came out, and above all, the destruction method will come out.’
Even today, countless duelists are probably researching ways to destroy this shopkeeper card.
Actually, there are also methods of destruction using traps, magic cards, etc.
‘Anyway, it was fun!’
Now I have to go back and do it again.
It was a truly satisfying day.
* * *
The next morning.
‘Ugh… … ‘
I struggled to get out of bed.
‘Oh my god, I’m dying.’
It was nice to go to the Land of Turrets the day before and sell the goods.
I even liked seeing the Turret-Raja, where the halfling and the turret become one.
‘That damn old man… … He should drink moderately… … .’
The problem was that the halflings were having a drinking party with soju, beer, and other items sold in the shops.
‘It’s not my fault that I wore it because it looked fun, but… … .’
Anyway, this hangover is Gus’ fault for continuing to force me to drink.
“Hahahaha! Thanks to you, we have new possibilities, but it’s useless without you! Let’s have a drink!”
Even now, Gus’s voice seems to echo in my head.
‘I don’t know how someone so small can drink so well.’
I try to get up.
I rummaged through the bag I had left behind last night.
‘Let’s see. 10 million, 20 million… … .’
I calculated the amount by stacking up the cash I had exchanged.
‘At this rate, I’ll have saved enough money to buy a building by next month.’
Instead, I should steadily enter the tower and do business like I do now.
‘Still, there isn’t much left.’
Building owner.
What a thrilling word this is.
And now the day when you get that title is not far away.
‘Let’s leave the cafe first.’
* * *
I drove a truck to the cafe and went to work like I always do.
‘Oh, Seon-ah? You came out early.’
I waved to Seon-ah, who was doing something in front of the cafe.
“Seon-ah, hello?”
“Hello, boss!”
“Aren’t you coming to work too early? You’ll get sick. Just work hard.”
Seon-ah smiles and shakes her head.
“No. You’ve given me the job of manager, so I have to work hard!”
‘Ugh, as expected, there’s no one like Seon-ah.’
I was impressed by Seon-ah’s sincerity and diligence, and at the same time, I was impressed by my insight in picking her.
“But what are you doing?”
“Oh, this?”
Seon-ah smiled awkwardly as she tore down the flyer stuck to the window.
“I guess it’s because our cafe has become famous, but it seems like there have been a lot more people putting up flyers in our cafe recently.”
“You’ve worked hard. I’ll help you too.”
I tore off the flyers one by one next to Seon-ah.
‘You’ve put a lot on.’
I understand.
People who put up flyers also need to make a living.
‘But it seems a bit excessive… … Hmm?’
Then, suddenly, a flyer caught my eye.
