Chapter 1012:雏形 of a Super Corporation (4k)
Yet, when Deoxys moved its tail in front of itself, it reached out and took off the Sacred Ring, then said, “Don’t hide anymore; we’re no longer above the Heavenly Court.”
The moment it finished speaking, the Sacred Ring suddenly expanded and transformed into water, then reformed into the shape of an Angelic Halo.
It was as if this thing was truly its core!
“How cautious you are.” Dark sighed helplessly and said to the Angelic Halo, “Firstly, I congratulate you on successfully leaving the Heavenly Court; there must not be much worth reminiscing about there. Secondly, I need to inform you that although you are not in the Heavenly Court now, this place is also not somewhere you can freely cause trouble. I won’t impose too many restrictions on you, but you must know how to behave and follow the rules, do you understand?”
The Angelic Halo slowly turned around and clearly nodded.
Dark felt somewhat satisfied and continued, “Of course, you can choose to leave here and seek the freedom you desire. You don’t have to rush to reply; I can give you three days to consider. Come back with your answer after three days. Follow me or leave this place. But remember, you only get one chance to decide. Think carefully.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Angelic Halo suddenly shrank back into the shape of the Sacred Ring and slipped back onto Deoxys’ tail.
With his extensive experience in child-rearing, Dark immediately judged that it was scared.
“Am I really that terrifying?”
He couldn’t help but touch his nose and said, “In any case, for these three days, follow Deoxys. It will take care of you.”
“I’ll try my best,” Deoxys turned its tail towards its body and expressionlessly removed the Sacred Ring once again.
Dark shook his head and said, “I want your answer in three days.” After saying that, he continued flipping through his notes.
Before lunch, Aurora knocked on the door of this room, and just like always, Nico followed behind her in the same uniform.
Dark put down his notes, stood up, and said, “Let’s go. What do you want for lunch?” As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw two small heads poke out from outside the door, and he couldn’t help but say helplessly, “Join us.”
For today’s lunch, he had instructed Jossie and Nene to order meals at a restaurant on Traveler’s Street, planning to briefly explain the situation to them.
However, since Pandora had joined the club, Dark decided to call Senior Pandora over as well.
“This is a good opportunity to talk to Aunt Claire about Pandora joining the club,” thought Dark.
After fifteen minutes, they first gathered at the Public Dueling Society branch of the academy, then headed to the restaurant together.
Because Dark wasn’t around, no maid came to extinguish the Underworld Fire this week, leaving only Eve, Jossie, and Nene in the academy. Eve, being an auditor, still had some things to do, but Jossie and Nene seemed particularly bored.
So when they found out that the young master had returned, they immediately latched onto him. Dark’s plan was to cultivate them into regular staff members at the academy branch.
Once Eve had a new role, she would let them take over running the academy’s storefront.
Of course, with his return, the plan to extinguish the Underworld Fire could be resumed, and everything would return to normal.
Lunchtime.
Dark briefly explained the situation, spending most of his time savoring the delicious food.
He wasn’t a robot and had his own appetite. The life-or-death experiences in the Heavenly Court had actually whetted his appetite.
And influenced by his state of mind, Gluttony couldn’t be suppressed either. However, it didn’t matter.
After eating his fill, Dark led everyone back to the store, where Eve used Spirit Synergy to connect with Irina at the Duke’s Mansion.
The connection went smoothly, and when the projection appeared, Claire Kate and Alvaraite were already seated beside her.
However, there was no sign of Olivia. Dark asked immediately, “Where is Sister Olivia?”
“I knew you’d ask about Olivia,” Claire teased with a smile, “They rushed back last night, and after finishing all their tasks, they all went to sleep in their rooms.”
Dark nodded and said reassuringly, “Indeed, they’ve been quite busy these past few days.”
Claire added, “But I think they really don’t want to come back.” Dark chuckled and said, “Aunt Claire, our club has gained a new member.”
Claire glanced at Pandora, who was also in the projection, and couldn’t help but smile. “Isn’t this Pandora, who wouldn’t join before? What made you change your mind today?”
Pandora glanced at Dark.
Dark said, “That’s not important. What matters is that we should start preparing for future changes. Our club’s core business is simulated card games. With the legalization of Mana Duels, the business of simulated card games will surely explode. We need to prepare ahead of time—grabbing the market and getting ready for rule adjustments.”
His speech got straight to the point, and Claire gradually became serious as well, “Which rule?”
Dark said, “Adding a graveyard! This addition is especially crucial. We must prepare before the new rule is publicly announced and cooperate with the promotion immediately upon announcement.”
Claire nodded, “Understood.”
Dark then turned to Alvaraite and asked, “Mom, have you ever set up a duel arena?”
Alvaraite slightly shook her head and said, “Not yet. But I had others experiment with it.”
Dark asked, “How did it go?”
Alvaraite said, “I can feel a trace of the rule, but not much. However, that graveyard is truly wondrous. We could even use the duel arena for life-and-death training!”
Dark said, “The addition of the graveyard will have a revolutionary impact on the entire duel rule system. But what I’m more interested in is other aspects, such as the limit on the number of mana cards used during duels?”
Alvaraite said, “Although I personally dislike it, this new duel rule imposes strict limits on deck sizes. A deck must contain at least 40 cards but no more than 60.”
“Forty to sixty cards?” Dark said, “Then how do you determine which deck to use during personal duels?”
“It seems you need to place them on the spellboard beforehand?” Alvaraite frowned, “Since there needs to be a shuffling process.”
Dark asked, “How do you ensure the order of drawing cards and the number drawn each round?”
Alvaraite said, “We haven’t considered that yet. But it obviously isn’t convenient.”
Dark nodded and said, “Given this, promoting duel disks seems very necessary.”
