Dark said, “That’s not important. What’s important is that we should start preparing for future changes. Our company’s core business is simulation card games. With the legalization of magic duels, the simulation card game business will inevitably experience explosive growth. It’s destined to develop into a behemoth. We should prepare in advance, seize the market, and prepare for the rule changes.”
His speech got to the point, and Claire gradually became serious: "Which rule?"
Dark said, "Adding new cemeteries! This addition to the rule is especially important. We must be prepared before the new rule is made public, and then coordinate the publicity as soon as it is made public."
Claire nodded and said, "Understood."
Dark then turned to Arvit and asked, "Mom, was a duel arena ever set up?"
Alvit shook her head slightly and said, "Not yet. But I have had others conduct related experiments."
Dark asked, "How is it?"
"I can sense a trace of the rules, but not much," said Arvit. "That graveyard is truly wondrous. We could even use that dueling arena for life-or-death sparring!"
Dark stated, "The addition of the graveyard will have a revolutionary impact on the entire dueling rules. But I'd like to ask about other aspects, such as the restrictions on the number of Spell Cards that can be used in a duel."
"Although I personally dislike it very much, the new dueling rules have a fairly strict limit on the number of cards in a deck. A deck must have more than 40 cards and less than or equal to 60 cards," said Arvit.
"Forty to sixty cards?" Dark said. "Then how do you determine the deck when you're actually dueling?"
"It seems we need to put them on the table beforehand," Arvit said, frowning. "After all, there's a shuffling process involved."
Dark asked, "Then how do you guarantee the order of card draws and the number of cards drawn each round?"
"I haven't considered it yet," said Arvit. "But that's obviously inconvenient."
Dark nodded and said, "In that case, promoting the Duel Disk is also very necessary."
Chapter 1013 Hello, President (4k)
Simulated duels originally used duel disks, and with the duel disks, it was even possible to set up a duel arena—of course, the duel arena in simulated duels did not have any rules in effect.
Furthermore, with the addition of the "graveyard" rule, the Duel Disks currently in use will also need to be updated.
But it's not a big problem.
The Duel Disk in the simulation has a "Graveyard" area – that's where you put cards that have already been used.
Therefore, the outer shell of the Duel Disk does not even need to be redesigned; only appropriate adjustments to the internal mechanisms are required.
When the time comes, trading in old items for new ones and recycling them will save even more costs. Furthermore, there's still a long time before the new dueling rules are announced, giving the All-People Duel Club ample time to prepare.
However, the Duel Disk for Magic Duel and the Duel Disk for Simulated Duel are destined to be different things!
Shuffling, counting, and projection are all minor features. The real problem lies in the "graveyard" setup. The duel disk in a magical duel needs a synergy effect that links it to the duel rules.
The existence of the "Graveyard" means that it is necessary to distinguish between Spell Cards that have been summoned and activated but are still in effect, and Spell Cards that have been summoned and activated but have ended their effect.
The former needs to be placed on the "Face Zone", "Summon Zone", and "Field Zone" of the Duel Disk, while the latter must be thrown into the "Graveyard".
However, magical spirits that are resurrected from the "graveyard," or magical cards and arcane cards that are pulled back, must be able to automatically return to their respective areas.
These mechanisms also exist on the duel disk in the simulation duel, but they are not perfect.
Additionally, since duelists themselves also need to engage in duels, it would be best to add a separate area for storing hand cards—this area doesn't necessarily need to be on the duel board. However, it is essential, ideally floating in the air with a barrier to obstruct the view and prevent opponents from peeking at your hand.
Of course, since even the duelist himself has entered the fray, it is perfectly reasonable for the opponent to use X-ray vision to break through the barrier and peek at the cards in his hand.
In short, there's still much to explore in the new dueling rules. Any method not explicitly restricted by the rules can be used. Furthermore, simulated duels have limitations on the number of cards that can be placed in the "face-down zone" and "summoning zone." However, Spellcaster Duels have no such restrictions and don't even require a "face-down zone."
The "Face Zone" was originally used to place Trap Ritual Cards, but now it doesn't matter what you put there, and it can be used interchangeably with the "Summoning Zone".
For example, the "Summoning Zone" can be modified into an area specifically for placing "Magical Spirit Cards" that have been summoned but not destroyed.
The "Face Zone" is used to place other magic cards besides "Magic Spirit Card".
As for the "grids" used to limit the number of characters, they can be removed. With that, the duel disk for magical duels is basically set up.
Compared to simulated duels, the rules of magical duels are significantly more open, offering more room for maneuver.
Moreover, its focus is actually on portability, rather than imposing restrictions on the duelists themselves.
The ideal scenario is that the duelist holds the dueling disk in his left hand and his weapon in his right, engaging in battle while simultaneously summoning and deploying resources.
In this situation, the original AI module in the Duel Simulator is insufficient, so it needs to be replaced with a newer AI module.
Using the existing technology of St. Mary's Academy, a "familiar" can be added to the new Duel Disk.
However, in order to circumvent the restrictions of the duel rules, this familiar can only be a half-finished product with a mere form, used to handle various procedures.
Emmm...
At this thought, Dark's gold radar started beeping. The Duel Disk's skin itself was a gold dot.
Different themed dueling arenas are also a source of fluorine—but this source disappears completely as the dueling arena becomes one that requires the duelists themselves to activate.
At this point, "familiars" with different appearances and even different voices can become an even greater source of new chlorine metals than ever before!
The duel disk used for magical duels is inherently more expensive than the duel disk used for simulated duels.
The price will naturally rise accordingly.
However, the number of mages is relatively small, so it is necessary to have the feature of attracting a mage to buy multiple duel disks in order to truly grow and become strong in this business.
In just half an hour, Dak poured out his entire business philosophy.
He concluded, "Of course, the source of all profits lies in monopoly. Therefore, we must seize the market at absolute speed, so that the entire Magic Duel Disk market is dominated by the voice of our Magic Duel Club!"
Claire frowned slightly and said, "Magic Duel Club"
Dark nodded and said, "That's right, that will be the name of our next branch! Once the new dueling rules are officially announced and promoted, we can attach a rulebook to each Magic Duel Disk, and even add a button on the Magic Duel Disk that can open the dueling arena with one click, to help mages quickly open the dueling arena. This will help with sales and promotion."
Hearing this, Claire couldn't help but sigh, then smiled and said, "Really, how come you've thought of everything? Does that mean we just have to do what you say and there's no challenge at all?"
Arvit couldn't help but say, "If things continue like this, I'm afraid my ducal mansion won't be able to accommodate you all."
Dark immediately retorted, "But isn't what's mine yours?" Alvit stared at Pandora behind Dark, smiling without saying a word. Pandora pursed her lips slightly, trying to minimize her presence.
After the discussion about the Magic Duel Club ended, Dark, along with Alvit and Claire, began to analyze the foreseeable future.
As the "Shinto Ritual" unfolds, everyone, whether or not they are a mage, will gradually realize the importance of duelists.
That importance is even overwhelming!
People's attention will inevitably be focused on duels based on "Shinto rituals".
Although magical duels had been quite popular before this, they were still limited to the limits of what entertainment and competition could achieve.
But once the "Shinto Ritual" is fully underway, everyone will know that it is a path to godhood, and the duelists active on the dueling stage are all candidates for godhood.
If that day truly comes, the magic duel will undoubtedly become the focus of public attention, potentially overshadowing all possible topics and interfering with things that were originally completely unrelated to it.
The most obvious example is the ongoing election for members of parliament. It could even go further and involve a change of the throne!
In other words, Prince Charles, Princess Elizabeth, and even the two younger princesses all have a renewed chance to challenge for the throne!
They can try to train their duelists to become gods, or they can try to break through to the path of magical godhood themselves.
As long as one gains the upper hand in the path of magic and divinity, driven by that terrifying momentum, it's not impossible to even overthrow the old king.
Of course, when that time comes, the position of the ruler of a mere country may not be so attractive.
However, human vision is always short-sighted. Even if they can think of something, they won't look at such distant places. Focusing on the present is what they really do.
Given that the idea of a human controlling a god's subordinates is utterly absurd, Charles and Elizabeth are unlikely to give up the possibility of using their own strength to challenge for godhood.
It's a pity, but if that time really comes, the Duke's mansion and the eldest princess's will only be competitors.
After all, both Aylvit and Claire aspire to godhood! And Aylvit's ambitions extend beyond that.
She was full of confidence in herself and believed that she would definitely have a place among the future gods.
But when the age of gods, where gods roam the earth, returns, the influence of a single god will be compressed to its limit.
To establish a foothold in the age of gods, one must at least have a powerful divine group.
The most typical example today is the twelve gods of Mount Polopus! Therefore, cultivating his maids to become gods is also within the scope of Alvit's plan.
Of course, those are all in the extremely distant future, full of unpredictable unknowns.
Arvit is simply preparing to work in that direction. Correspondingly.
After hearing Alvette's plan, Dark was also influenced. He now had two choices, one of which was naturally to rely on Alvette. That way, he would still have his mother to protect him, making his path much easier.
Another option is to follow the example of Alvit and plan to form their own divine organization.
Like Arvit.
Darko Dimon has never doubted whether he could become a god in the future.
Moreover, from his perspective, there was actually no way out.
He knew that he had to follow this divine path to have any chance of completely controlling the demon god bloodline.
—During this process, there is always the danger of awakening the demon god.
Therefore, continuing to live under Arvit's wing is not a good choice.
This trip to the "Heavenly Court" greatly changed Dark's various ideas.
One of the biggest changes in his thinking was that he finally realized he had become a "tall man".
The old idea that "if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up" is no longer applicable.
If that day were to truly collapse, he would have no choice but to step up and hold it up himself. And in that case, the path he could choose would become very clear: He must form his own divine order!
This group is not the so-called "Dark Cat Club". Claire Kate and Pandora, both members of this club, are not inclined to be subservient to anyone.
What Dac needed to build was a more private group. His thinking gradually became clearer as his goal was defined.
If you want to form a divine group, the members must first have enough loyalty, and then have enough potential.
Although he could try to have some of his magical spirits follow this path, they certainly wouldn't be considered members of the group.
At this point, there are only three targets that can be identified at a glance: Diana, Rose, and Aurora!
Diana and Rose were originally members of Dark Demon's trio, and Dark had intended to groom them from the beginning.
Aurora's affection for him was also obvious, and after this trip to the "Heavenly Court," their relationship can be said to have progressed further.
Besides the three of them, Dark had another candidate in mind: Eudora!
Because there are many uncertainties surrounding Eudora, she is only a candidate.
As for classmates like Emma and Sarah, who are highly promising, they are not currently under consideration by Dark.
He thought about it carefully, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
Claire and Ylvette on the other side had also confirmed their thoughts.
Claire plans to entrust the "Magic Duel Club" to Eve and Irene.
The academy's "All-People Duel Club" was left to Nana and Josie. As for herself, she naturally had to reclaim her identity as a duelist and prepare for the "Shinto Ritual"!
Of course, immense power and wealth are key for a mage to obtain precious resources, and she will also take into account the development of the dueling club.
Alvit's primary plan is to select the complete "Zodiac" and then conduct intensive training for the maid corps around these twelve individuals.
In addition, Aurora asked Alvette to pass on the news to Lord Montilfari.
It's necessary to inform them in advance that the City of Freedom is the venue for the formal meeting.
Therefore, Arvitt readily agreed.
Finally, the two continued talking for another half hour. Yalvette repeatedly urged Dark not to take any more risks, and Dark agreed repeatedly, his eyes full of urging as he looked at Eve.
Eve gave a mischievous smile and then stopped the "Telepathic Technique".
Dark breathed a slight sigh of relief and stood up, saying, "That's basically the situation. I'll bring up the production and promotion of the Magic Duel Disk at tonight's gathering. The academy will get involved, but it shouldn't be a big problem, since we also need Professor Kazel's help. Next, I'll work with Eve on some tasks. Diana and Rose, remember to meet up in the dormitory tonight, in the common room. I'll come find you."
Rose was taken aback and asked, "Can we go to the meeting tonight?" Dark replied, "Of course, you are also members of the Serpent of Wisdom." Although Diana and Rose were Sequence Nine, they were different from the others; they were members of the "Serpent of Wisdom," and the "Blessing of the God of Wisdom" they received was not at the Sequence Nine level.
However, they did not receive any notice of the rally.
This was because they didn't have voting rights and weren't core members. However, Dark decided to bring them along, gradually integrating them into the inner circle.
0
Among those present, Eve is Sequence Three and will also participate in the gathering. "This makes me feel like an outsider."
Pandora brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and teased with a smile. Dark shook her head slightly and said, "No way. Actually, I'm thinking of launching a company spokesperson. What do you think, senior?"
