You Were Supposed to Print Cards, Not Slay Gods

In this chapter and in the comments, many readers have expressed doubts and confusion about banned cards and regulators. I will explain them here. 1. Dueling environment The domestic professional competition environment is very stinky. The champions of domestic non-world-class competitions are basically controlled by those aristocratic families. They will indeed use the card ban system to attack the rising civilian duelists. Therefore, as mentioned in the previous article, many viewers would rather watch foreign competitions than domestic competitions, because they can roughly know the scope of the championship by looking at the participants. (I didn't expect that I haven't written this part of the plot yet. Readers have already figured it out. Sure enough, I am still too young.) In this environment, the reason why life card duel is still so popular in China is mainly because state subsidies make this profession too profitable (similar to the early new energy and photovoltaic industries). The monthly basic subsidy for first-level life card masters is 5,000 yuan, and the monthly basic subsidy for second-level life card masters is 10,000 yuan. By analogy, even if you have a minimum wage, it is much better than other industries. What those aristocratic families are trying to control are the champions of Category A and a small number of Category B competitions. The champions of Category C competitions will be reserved for civilians to compete. After all, if the industry is finished by them, their families, which started by relying on life card duels, will not be able to survive. Moreover, the number of civilian duelists means the quality of their dueling experience. (Ordinary players are the game experience of krypton gold players) In the eyes of the country, what is important is actually the exploration of the Soul Card World. The Life Card Duel industry is only a by-product of the Soul Card World exploration. Subsidizing the Life Card Duel industry is also for the sustainability of the Soul Card World exploration. In the absence of the invasion of extraordinary forces in reality, the fate card duel industry is similar to football, e-sports, and the entertainment industry in the eyes of the country. As long as the bottom line is not touched, it will not be specifically concerned about it. It is said that they are an aristocratic family, in fact, it is for the convenience of readers to understand that they are just a family that has formed a certain inheritance system in the soul card world, and can better adapt to the soul card world and obtain more powerful life cards. In the absence of extraordinary power, they have little influence on reality. At most, they control some members of the Life Card Association to suppress civilian duelists, ensure their own champion status, and have money. Such an environment is set up to write about how the protagonist will straighten out the environment after entering the professional arena. I don't really want to write about a protagonist who loses a duel. Then there must be other pressures on the protagonist. Otherwise, the protagonist will always win, win, win, and the novel will be boring. After the introduction of extraordinary power in later duels, all the above will be overturned. The life card master has changed from an ordinary profession to a national strategic resource, and the country's attitude will be different. 2. Standards for Banned Cards The purpose of banning cards was to balance the intensity between the various duelists on the field and prevent one person from dominating the game resulting in a lack of expectations for the game. The standards for banning cards in different countries are different, and it depends on the intensity of the review. Most banned cards in foreign countries will explain in detail the reasons for the ban and the actual performance of the card in the duel in the announcement of the banned card list. Domestic banned cards will not explain the detailed reasons when announcing the card. The total number of banned cards in the global monthly card list is fifty. Once the upper limit is reached, countries will no longer conduct review of banned cards. The quota for the banned card list is first come, first served. Due to some mysterious reason, in this banned card list, China always has the most banned cards. During the contest, the life cards will not enter the banned card review, and the life cards newly obtained from the soul card world will not enter the banned card review. Before the World Championships, each country's Fate Card Association will review the participants to ensure the fairness of the competition. Each country's Fate Card Association has the right to reject other countries' bans on their own participants. However, considering the face issue, they will still ban their own outrageous fake cards. I will write about the specific system later. It is not yet the World Championship. (The reason why Higashino Yuya was banned from half of the deck is because he offended the Life Card Association of Xiaozhi, so the association did not protect him, and then he deliberately destroyed the association's gold coins. Please pay attention to the subsequent plot for the specific reasons) 3. The price of the cards The current price is due to the national price limit, because there is currently no extraordinary power in reality. For the country, the price of the card is too high, which will lead to the influx of hot money to speculate on life cards. At this stage, life cards cannot produce any actual value except for duels, so the official pricing of life cards is always restricted. And a large group of life card masters are also constantly producing new life cards. In addition to 15 star cards, other star cards will always be produced at this level no matter how high they are. There are a total of thirty-three soul card worlds, and there are thirteen in the peaceful world. In these worlds, soul cards are basically not dangerous, and can stably produce life cards, and some star levels are not low, but there are not many 14 or 15 star cards. However, powerful cards will still be circulated among duelists at relatively high prices. However, due to the official price limit, except for the really rare 15-star cards, the prices of other cards are generally not outrageous. The compensation for banned cards is linked to the circulation price of the card. After multiplying by the weight of the rank and championship, for cards of the same star level, first-level life card masters and ninth-level life card masters will receive different compensations. As the supernatural power invades reality, the existing price system of life cards collapses. The price of high-star cards will rise exponentially. IV. Extraordinary Power In fact, the original setting of this book was that extraordinary power would not appear in the real world. What I wanted to write was a pure duel world. But I want the protagonist and the girl to stick together. A man who calls a paper man his wife in reality ends up becoming the protagonist of a novel. It is too miserable to call a paper man his wife. Since we want the girl to appear in reality in a reasonable way, the introduction of extraordinary power is necessary. However, my writing power is limited and I cannot show the appearance of a world fully penetrated by extraordinary power. I also cannot reasonably explain why in this world view, everyone still plays card duels instead of directly fighting with cards. Therefore, the setting of the extraordinary power in this book is that the extraordinary power in the soul card world invades reality through the duel instrument. If you want to prevent the invasion of extraordinary power, you must defeat the infected duelists through duel. You can invade the soul card world through the duel instrument, and the soul card world can counter-invade through the duel instrument. Is it reasonable? This setting allows duels to still exist reasonably under the extraordinary power system. As for whether the status of those fate card dueling families will rise after the invasion of extraordinary powers... Well, how to put it, most of the members of the Exploration Bureau responsible for managing the soul card world are civilian fate card masters who have been suppressed by the aristocratic families and cannot survive in the professional arena... Of course, there is currently no supernatural power on the surface. 5. About the heroine I can't guarantee anything. I can only tell readers that Alice will not have any emotional entanglements between men and women with the male protagonist. Alice's positioning is closer to the protagonist's daughter who lives in another world, and she is still very bearish. I don't think anyone would have any desire other than the desire to attack naughty children. 6. Time adjuster Many readers have doubts about it. When it was originally designed, it was to give the protagonist a buffer time. After all, Alice would not suddenly settle down. However, due to the setting that there is no parallel world in the soul card world but it is the real world, so if multiple people use the time adjuster, BUG will appear. Therefore, the adjustment of the time regulator has a range. A secret realm of time and space is formed around the soul card that is different from the flow rate of the soul card world. The soul card's own time flow rate is separated from the soul card world. When time slows down, this will of course cause the soul card to be disconnected from the outside world, which will cause adverse factors to the soul card, such as being too late to save the person to be saved. Therefore, in this case, the interests of the soul card and the life card master are in conflict, but the soul card cannot prevent the adjustment of the regulator. It all depends on whether the life card master cares about the soul card. Some life card masters will deliberately make the soul card too late to save relatives and loved ones to induce the soul card to blacken to obtain a powerful soul card form. Time acceleration is the method used by many life card masters in the Xianxia Soul Card World to speed up the practice of soul cards. When other soul cards enter the adjustment range, the adjustment will automatically fail and alert the card masters of both parties that there are other soul cards nearby. I am actually a little confused about explaining these issues. Some settings in it actually need to be unfolded slowly. If it is released in advance, readers will lose their sense of expectation. In this case, my follow-up reading will suffer. However, I don't want to see readers always read my novel with doubts about rationality. Although my settings are very hasty and unreasonable in some places, it is difficult to perfect the rules of a game by relying only on my own brain. But for readers' doubts, I think I need to explain. I hope everyone will continue to support my book after reading my explanation, and don't abandon the book because of my spoilers! Finally, continue to pursue reading! This is really important for a new book! Looking for further reading! Looking for further reading! Looking for further reading!

I used AI to run the concept map, for everyone's reference. Alice Form Concept Picture:

It is recommended to use Alice less to sensationalize. It's really unfeeling. Without a group of people to protect you, you can die dozens of times a day. Except for what the so-called "kind-hearted" can do, there is never any feasibility in what you do. In terms of fighting strength, he is not strong enough to force himself to fight. If there is no one to cover him, he can probably die ten times in each plot; in terms of life skills, his brain is more intelligent, and he can only fire a fireball in everything. It's not impossible to say that this is similar to Tom and Jerry or the exaggerated comedy style of animation, but this kind of comedy style animation will not exaggerate and advocate how kind and touching the protagonist is all day long. What's even more inexplicable is that she is still being portrayed as a savior. I don't want anything, and I have nothing except a protagonist to protect me. There is no need to add so many "sensational elements" to something similar to "Dad watches his daughter playing house in the yard." Especially from the main perspective of this book, all readers know that this is indeed just playing house.

For reference only, just for fun

It's completely unreasonable to be able to report banned cards. Except for the protagonist, everyone else who gets ridiculously powerful cards uses their own soul cards to get them. Then if you report it, you will be censored. Maybe you will be banned in the future? Why? If we can still find some connections to use tricks at the stage of reviewing and banning cards, wouldn't it mean that as long as the background is more awesome, the opponent's powerful cards will not be usable?

This is how many comments have been deleted. It's really funny that there isn't a single comment in February 👍

A deck of gods-conferring cards, just for your entertainment

This setting of banning cards is a failure. I know that the author wants to reflect the strength of the protagonist. It is very frustrating to have the card that he worked so hard to get banned, okay, abuse the main text?

Ka is well written, but does the protagonist have any means of self-protection in the real world? The most disgusting thing about this kind of book is that others directly fight you in an offline duel 🙂
