Luya awakened the system interface, and the map of Teyvat appeared before him. He selected the card shop located in Liyue.
⌈Shop Level: 2 (Upgradeable)⌋
╵Normal Duel Stages: 8
╵Area: 500 square meters
╵Daily Automatic Card Pack Generation: 1,700
╵Portable Duel Disk stock: 8
╵Other Products: 1,000 Yu-Gi-Oh! manga volumes
╵Available Mora: 42 million
Luya focused his consciousness on the shop upgrade option and confirmed.
With a flash of blue light, the shop trembled as renovations began automatically around him.
At the same time, Luya's available Mora instantly decreased by 20 million, and the shop's various stats all improved.
The shop's level rose from 2 to 3!
⌈Current Shop Level: 3 (Not Upgradeable)⌋
╵Normal Duel Stages: 8 + (4)
╵Area: 500 sq.m + (200)
╵Daily Automatic Card Pack Generation: 1,700 + (300)
This time, upgrading the shop cost Luya 20 million Mora, double the last upgrade.
By that logic… the next upgrade would require 40 million Mora.
Luya couldn't help but sigh...
"I still need to earn much more Mora~"
After the upgrade finished, the shop's interior expanded once again.
Four more Duel Stages appeared, and the area automatically increased by 200 square meters.
From the outside, however, it looked the same as before, with no major changes. Fortunately, the interior expansion didn't affect the exterior size...
Otherwise, after a dozen more upgrades, all of Feiyun Slope wouldn't be able to contain Luya's shop...
At Level 3, all the stats had risen significantly.
Originally, there had been only six Duel Stages. With the two gained from yesterday's settlement and four more from the upgrade,
Luya's shop now had twelve Duel Stages.
The number of customers able to duel simultaneously increased from twelve to twenty-four, and Duel Stage revenue could now double.
The card shop's business was truly thriving~
In just two days, it had reached this scale.
This was a scene Luya could never have imagined back when he ran a card shop with his grandfather on Blue Star.
Yet Luya now had only one shop...
For all of Liyue it was still too small, and across all of Teyvat it was tiny indeed.
He still had to earn Mora quickly!
After completing the shop upgrade, Luya remembered the daily settlement rewards from the system...
[Reward: +200 automatic daily card pack generation]
[Reward: 1,000 Yu-Gi-Oh! manga volumes]
[Reward: +2 Normal Duel Stages]
[Reward: 1 random Genshin Card Synthesis Recipe]
Aside from the increased card pack generation and additional Duel Stages as before, there was the reward of 1,000 Yu-Gi-Oh! manga volumes, and one random Genshin Card Synthesis Recipe.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! manga was easy to understand—it would help Liyue's customers learn the origin and rules of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Although the first series' rules weren't perfectly standardized early on, they were close enough...
However, the other reward...
The random Genshin Card Synthesis Recipe intrigued Luya.
He immediately decided to open it!
He wanted to see what this card recipe was.
Luya summoned the system panel and opened the system inventory.
He selected a small package marked with a blue [?] icon.
"Open!"
As the Genshin card recipe was activated,
Luya suddenly felt a cold wind gust around him.
Though he was indoors, he felt a chill. It wasn't a physical cold, but a hair-raising sensation...
Three spirits suddenly appeared before him.
Immediately, a green spear light shot forth, annihilating all the spirits.
The spirits turned to embers.
The surrounding darkness lit up as a steady voice came from the ashes...
"When you face perils in lost wilds, when you meet the threat of bandits..."
"When there is danger of water, fire, blade and war, of ghosts, gods, poisons and beasts, when you are troubled by foes and villains, call my name."
"The Three-Eyed, Five-Manifested Adeptus Xiao answers the call to guard..."
The system voice followed:
[Unlocked [Conqueror of Demons – Xiao] Synthesis Recipe!]
[Requires: Ghostly Ember x3, Vayuda Turquoise Fragment x1…]
