As Luya locked his focus onto the shop panel's upgrade option—
A burst of blue light flared!
His available Mora instantly dropped by 10 million—except for the Portable Duel Disk stock, every shop stat had improved.
⌈Current Shop Level: 2⌋
╵Normal Duel Stages: 4 + (2)
╵Area: 400 + (100) square meters
╵Daily automatic card pack generation: 1100 + (400)
╵Portable Duel Disk stock: 10
╵Available Mora: 8.9 million
He immediately felt the shop interior expand noticeably.
Yet from outside, it looked the same as before—no need to worry about the store appearing oversized.
Overall, the stats had risen considerably.
Two new Duel Stages appeared instantly, bringing the total to six. This doubled the number of customers he could serve—from three dueling pairs at once to six.
Now the shop had real scale!
The 100 extra square meters of space perfectly accommodated the two new Duel Stages. Each stage took about 50 square meters, with room needed between them.
However, with each upgrade, the shop's space would expand. That was nothing for Luya to worry about. He just needed to focus on earning Mora, upgrading the shop, and earning even more!
Along with the new space and Duel Stages, daily pack generation had increased by 400, reaching 1500 per day!!!
If he could sell them all, that meant 30 million Mora in sales!
The extra 400 packs alone equaled 8 million Mora in free revenue.
And the upgrade had only cost 10 million!
With two more Duel Stages, worth at least another 600,000 Mora in fees; This upgrade was an absolute bargain.
It looked like he'd spent 10 million, while in truth, only about 1.4 million.
And… Hu Tao had already preordered 1000 packs. Selling out tomorrow was guaranteed.
As a local celebrity of Liyue Harbor, her story would spread, making Yu-Gi-Oh! ever more famous!
Luya could already picture crowds filling the shop.
If he put the Duel Stages and Duel Disks to use, tomorrow's profits would soar.
While not as lucrative as packs, they fueled pack sales. Otherwise… Cards would just be paper with only a collection value.
This system settlement reward left Luya eagerly awaiting tomorrow's opening.
With the upgrade finished, Luya remembered the other reward besides Duel Stages and Duel Disks—
A [Genshin Card Pack]!
He pulled it from the system warehouse.
On its wrapper was Hu Tao's image. She faced away, hat tilted with a cheeky smile, three white ghostly spirits floating around her.
"Could it be… because I defeated Hu Tao today… That I got this pack?!"
It was the only explanation he could think of as he decided to open it immediately.
The pack felt colder than normal—Not physically cold, but with a chilling, unsettling aura… Like being haunted. The feeling gnawed at his heart, making him uneasy.
"Open!!"
Luya tore the seal of Hu Tao's pack.
A spray of plum-blossom seals and five small white ghosts burst out!
Each ghost carried a card in its mouth, floating before him, awaiting his choice.
Luya reached to touch one ghost's back…
"Normal…"
Hu Tao's voice rang flatly as the ghost turned to reveal its card.
