Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Because I have five cards in my hand, I will draw one from the deck." Marufuji Sho pulled out a card from the deck with a bit of frustration and looked at Amerda, "You have played powerful cards like [Angel's Charity] and [Heaven's Treasure] in succession. Aren't you too rich, Mr. Amerda?"

[Marufuji Sho: 4000LP, hand 5→6]

[Amerda: 4000LP, hand 1→6]

The first thing that needs to be stated is that the price of Duel Monster cards is never static, and will change significantly with the duel environment and the reputation of well-known users. The best example is the ordinary monster [Dark Knight - Gaia], which is not worthy of its value despite the strength of the related cards. But who makes him the most famous card in Duel King and the easiest card for ordinary people to get?

Because of Hayato's existence, not to mention other cards in the [Dark Knight - Gaia] series, but this original Mortal Bone card alone has been remade several times by the International Illusion Society with various handsome card images and sold in limited quantities many times, which is almost the same treatment as the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from another time and space.

Even Bekas came up with the idea of ​​working with the post office to create Ukiyo-e-style [Dark Knight-Gaia] co-branded stamps and limited edition cards.

(【Blue Eyes】: Don’t worry about the strength first, just ask who has more paintings than me?)

In the early days, the prices of [Treasure from Heaven] and [Angel's Charity] were not very expensive. Hayato could easily buy three cards with a few Fukuzawa Yukichi cards in his wallet that he "picked up from the ground" and still have money left for opening card packs. However, as the environment continued to accelerate, the duelists realized the true power of these powerful cards, and their value naturally soared.

And according to the future Yusei Fudo, as these cards eventually became banned cards and were no longer issued by the International Illusion Society, the prices of existing cards actually skyrocketed and became even more expensive, to the point where one could even exchange a card for a house.

(Yusei who bought a villa in Shindo Mino City with a card: It’s a big house, cool!)

Marufuji Sho has used [Angel's Charity], but never [Heaven's Treasure]. Is it because he doesn't like it? No way. If possible, he would like to put as many cards as possible like Judai and Manjome into his deck, but he has no money and no luck to get these cards.

Therefore, Marufuji Sho was so surprised to see Amerda, a cafeteria employee at Duel Academy, casually play two such expensive cards.

"Expensive? It seems so, but I'm not short of money." Amerda said casually, "And they're just a few cards. Although they are powerful, they are not enough to be the key to winning the duel."

Although he was not born rich, who made Ameruda join Doma and become one of the "Three Knights of Doma"? Even though Hayato was airdropped later, he could still call on almost all of Doma's resources. He had all kinds of cards that could be obtained with money and power. He didn't care about a few "treasure cards that fell from the sky" at all. In terms of importance, they were not as high as the "Mecha" deck in his deck that had not been used for a long time.

"No way, if it weren't for the [Treasure Card from Heaven], you would have been empty-handed." Marufuji Sho complained, but his voice was not very loud.

After drawing six cards, Amerda played a card and said, "I haven't Normal Summoned a monster this turn yet. Normal Summon this monster from my hand in Attack Position."

On the Ameruda field, a seemingly ordinary frog jumped out, surprising Maruto Sho: "This is also an ingredient?!"

[Yellow Spring Frog] [1☆/Water]

【Aquatic/Effect】

[100/100]

"Frog dishes are not uncommon, don't be surprised. Otherwise, wouldn't you be unable to accept snails and foie gras?"

Amerda said calmly, but instead of playing any more cards, he raised the Duel Plate and showed the Continuous Trap Card [Recette-de-Personnel ~ Recipe for Meal~] that he had activated earlier, saying, "The two effects of this Continuous Trap Card that I activated earlier have a limit of only being able to be used once per turn, and now that the ingredients for the dish are complete, I'll activate its first effect first."

"You can activate this effect by targeting a Ritual Monster on my field. Special Summon a [New Magic Chef Token] on my field. The Level of this Token becomes the same as the target monster." A cloud of mist appeared around him, and Amerda pointed to the field he was on. "The target monster I chose is [New Magic Chef's Bouillabaisse Bouillabaisse], so the Level of [New Magic Chef Token] is 1☆."

In the mist around Amerda, the shadow of the five-armed [New Magic Chef's Bouillabaisse] appeared dimly, but before the phantom could fully appear, Amerda said, "But before the effect of [Recette-de-Personnel ~ Meal Recipe ~] Special Summoned [New Magic Chef Token], the effect of [New Magic Chef's Bouillabaisse] will be triggered!"

After hearing what Amerda said, Marufuji Sho said in surprise: "Although it is a Level 1☆ Ritual Monster, it has more than one effect? ​​Yes, it seems that Mr. Bekas's [Nathiwa] is also a Level 1☆ Ritual Monster."

Judai, who was outside the arena, was more concerned about the word "ingredients" that Amerda mentioned. Looking at the numb Yellow Spring Frog on its back, he said with a look of disgust, "Although Mr. Amerda's dishes are delicious, why is it so difficult to choose the ingredients? What 'ingredients' are you talking about? Are you going to make Yellow Spring Frog into a dish as well?"

"How do you know what the final dish will taste like?" Amerda glanced at Judai, "No matter what kind of food it is, it is a mystery before you take the first bite. The same is true for cards, and the same is true for life."

"When [New Magic Chef's Bouillabaisse] on the field becomes the target of an attack or effect, I can activate this card and a monster in Attack Position on both sides of the field. I choose [Yellow Spring Frog] on my field, then Special Summon a Level 2 or 3☆ [New Magic Chef] monster from my hand or deck!"

"It's time to remove the soup after eating. Now turn up the heat, heat the pan, put the ingredients in and fry them, and add a little white wine several times to let the ingredients fully absorb the aroma!"

Chanting the summoning words that clearly sounded more like a recipe again, the [New Magic Chef's Marseille Fish Soup Bouillabaisse] on the field of Ameruda turned into a frying pan on the fire, and the [Yellow Spring Frog] was broken down into several pieces of meat and put into the pot to be cooked.

A moment later, another exquisite but small dish that looked not filling enough was served on the table, and another demon appeared in the heat!
"Upgrade the dish - Level 3☆!" Amerda took out the card he retrieved from the deck and played it on the duel disk, "Seafood is out of the pot - [New Magic Chef's Pan-Fried Buwa Laitis]!"

Compared to the Q-version demons that inhabited the dishes of the previous two [New Magic Chef] dishes, the demon that appeared in the new French cooking method "Shengjian" which has the same name as the classic breakfast of Yan Country seemed much more mature. Not only was he well-dressed, but he also performed a deacon's salute to the two "guests" Maruto Sho and Judai in a rather elegant manner. If Maruto Sho had not seen the undisguised bloodlust in his purple eyes when he raised his head, he would have almost forgotten that the person in front of him was actually a demon - although the [Shengjian Buwa Laitis of New Magic Chef], which was specially summoned by the effect of [New Magic Chef's Marseille Fish Soup Buyebes], was actually the same Beast Warrior Clan.

At the same time, next to [New Magic Chef's Fried Bouillabaisse Letis], [New Magic Chef's Fish Soup Bouillebes], whose figure was covered by mist, appeared as a [New Magic Chef Derivative].

"The Confit of the New Magic Chef, Confitras, which appeared in the confit duck leg before, corresponds to the 31st pillar of the 72 magic gods of Solomon, Phras, who identifies herbs and gems and is said to have the ability to discover hidden treasures." Judai looked at the new monster on the field of Amerda and tried not to remember that the new dish was made of frogs. "This new card should correspond to the 17th pillar, the serpent demon Butis who wields swords and horns?"

"Brother, how come you know so much? Isn't your knowledge too diverse?" After hearing Judai's words outside the field, Maruto Sho couldn't help but complain.

"It was all Sanzhe who talked to me during the holidays. He seemed to be studying whether people in the past had interacted with Duel Monsters a long time ago, and he also let me know a lot." Judai paused and looked at Amerda again, "But after three consecutive cards, I think I can basically confirm that Mr. Amerda's [New Magic Chef] deck, in addition to French cuisine, also took the 72 Pillars of Demons as part of the prototype?"

"It's purely a choice, but mixing is the main theme of cooking. This is the core concept of [New Magic Chef]." Amerda nodded, confirming Judai's statement, "Just like bread can't replace meat, meat can't replace bread, but the two will taste better when paired together."

"People are no different from food, and the same is true for Duel Monsters. You have to use Spell Cards, Monster Cards, and Trap Cards. Only then can you be considered healthy."

"When [New Magic Chef's Fried Bunwa Laitis] is Special Summoned successfully, activate its first effect, and I draw a card from my deck."

"Draw!"

After the new Ritual Monster appeared, Amerda's hand not only did not decrease at all, but still remained at six cards. More importantly, Marufuji Sho heard some incredible information.

He had heard it clearly just now. When Amerda released [Yellow Spring Frog], he said "release one monster in attack position on both sides' fields". Doesn't that mean that Amerda can even capture the powerful monster he summoned with great difficulty on his own field as food for his cooking without choosing a target!

Does this effect only apply to [New Magic Chef's Fish Soup Bouillabaisse]?
Facing Marufuji Sho's gaze, Amerda did not even look at the card he had drawn, but began to explain: "1☆, 2☆, 3☆, my [New Magic Chef] monsters all have a dish level similar to the Michelin level, which can be seen from the star cards on them. And the lower-level dishes are completely different from the higher-level dishes."

"Perhaps you have guessed it? You are right. The 1☆ [New Magic Chef's Bouillabaisse Bouillabaisse] and the lower-level 2☆ [New Magic Chef's Confit of Coffin] have almost the same secondary effects, except that the level of the monsters that can be Special Summoned is 2☆ or 3☆ for one and 3☆ or 4☆ for the other."

"And with the Level 3☆ [New Magic Chef's Fried Bunwa Laitis], this effect has been further improved to become activated when any monster on the field of both parties becomes the target of attack or effect, and the level of the monster that can be Special Summoned has also become 4☆ or 5☆."

"As the dishes are presented, the power of the demon god will gradually increase. Although it does not conform to the normal order of serving, I will now activate this quick-attack magic card [Forbidden Holy Lance] in my hand to stimulate the effect of [New Demon Chef's Fried Buwa Laitis] on my field!"

Normally, the [Forbidden Holy Spear] is often used to weaken the opponent's monster's attack power or protect one's own monster from being destroyed by effects. However, it has a completely new use in Amerda's hands, which is to actively trigger the effect of the [New Magic Chef] monster!
"I target the [New Magic Chef's Confit of Coffin] on my field and activate [Forbidden Holy Lance], but before its effect takes effect, the effect of [New Magic Chef's Fried Buwa Laitis] is activated in a chain reaction!"

"Release the [New Magic Chef's Fried Bunwa Laitis] and the [New Magic Chef Token] in Attack Position on my field, and Special Summon this Level 5☆ card from my Deck!"

"The scorching flames will melt the butter, and white pepper and rosemary will fall into it. The Maillard reaction will occur instantly when the fish comes into contact with the oil, and the milky aroma will bloom!" The summoning words are still like a recipe. He once again liberated his two monsters on the field in one breath. Amerda skipped level 4☆ and directly started serving level 5☆ "dishes".

"Dish upgrade - level 5☆!"

"Here comes the main course - [New Magic Chef's Butter-Fried Balanir]!"

Based on the 51st demon god - the flame-eyed bear-riding, snake-tailed three-headed demon god Bayram, the superior [New Demon Chef] who resides in the butter fried fish has finally appeared!
