[Current System Skill: ① Favorability Check.]
After a brief internal rant, Amano Zero sat back down at the table. He was a man of the "don't cry over spilled milk" philosophy—if it's already happened, there's no point wasting energy on regrets. Besides, having something was better than nothing, even if the current system only had one function.
"Favorability Check."
Zero whispered the command in his mind, trying to activate it. As for the targets, there were only three people at the table besides himself.
And why were there three? Because Yui, seeing that Zero had made a fortune today, had actually had the thick skin to come over for a free meal. And she was eating more than anyone else!
However, in this situation, he actually had to thank her. Out of the three, she was the only one suitable for testing a "Love System."
After the mental activation, a number faintly drifted above Yui's head in Zero's vision.
[Favorability: 68 (Good Friend Level)] [Favorability is insufficient to claim rewards. Please keep up the good work, Host.]
While the score wasn't high enough for a reward, Zero was surprised that Yui actually had a 68 for him out of a possible 100. Given her usually assertive and bossy attitude toward him, he figured it would be in the 50s at best. 68 was unexpectedly high. According to the system prompts, they were in a very solid "friend" relationship.
Who would have thought? You pink-haired, twin-tailed girl... you're a closet Tsundere.
"Amano, why are you staring at me?"
Noticing Zero's strange gaze, Yui moved her bulging cheeks. "Don't tell me you're judging me for eating too much? Let me tell you, if you say something that rude to a lady, your favorability will tank!"
"You're eating too much."
"You jerk!"
[Yui's Favorability +1. Current Favorability: 69]
You really are a Tsundere, aren't you? A Tsundere's mouth is a nest of lies.
"I'm just kidding." Zero smiled and placed some more food into Yui's bowl. "Eat up~"
"Oh... okay..."
Faced with this sudden gentleness, the usually forceful Yui actually lowered her head in embarrassment and continued shoveling rice. This time, the favorability didn't change at all.
A woman's heart was truly hard to read. Zero felt that he definitely wasn't cut out for this kind of system. If Yui's favorability was 69, what about his own sister...?
Driven by curiosity, Zero's eyes drifted toward Shio, who was wearing an expression of pure bliss as she ate. As expected, nothing appeared. Since it was a "Love System," it obviously wouldn't show a score for his own sister.
It was lucky Yui was here; otherwise, he wouldn't even have been able to test it. No way to... test it?
Suddenly, a strange number flashed into the corner of Zero's vision. A three-digit number.
Three digits? Didn't the system say the cap was 100?
Floating above Wangchuan You's head was—100.
This was the second time tonight that Zero was rendered a speechless statue.
No... wait... brother, you?
After repeatedly checking and verifying, Zero was certain. The number above Wangchuan You's head was 100. Maximum favorability.
[Wangchuan You: Favorability 100 (Till Death Do Us Part)]
This was the highest value the system could define—an emotion of "Till Death Do Us Part." It was likely a height even old married couples struggled to reach.
Why on earth is yours 100? This is a Romance system, right?
Zero suddenly felt a phantom chill in his rear.
"Zero, why have you been staring at me?"
No matter how dense Wangchuan You was, he couldn't miss Zero's "intense" gaze. Biting his chopsticks and looking at Zero with an innocent expression, Wangchuan's long eyelashes fluttered over his light-blue eyes. He was actually... a bit cute.
True, the childhood friend he had grown up with was significantly cuter than most other girls. But no matter how cute he was, Zero couldn't accept this. It was a dual rejection—both physical and psychological.
However, a second later, the system prompt changed his mind entirely.
[A Pursuable Target's favorability has reached 100. Claiming Maximum Level Reward.]
That's right, the reward!
Wangchuan You, you magnificent bastard! Even if Zero found it hard to accept that Wangchuan You's favorability for him was 100, he found the reward very easy to accept. Especially since 100 favorability meant the highest tier of prizes.
But what kind of reward could a "Love Cultivation System" give? He just hoped it wasn't something "R-rated"—he really wouldn't have a use for that.
[Maximum Level Reward: All cards of a specific race from the Extra Deck unlocked.]
What?
This was the third time Zero was stunned into place.
You're a Love Cultivation System, and your reward is Yu-Gi-Oh! Extra Deck cards?
After all that runaround, you really are the Duel King System, aren't you? You just put on a weird mask!
Regarding the "Specific Race Extra Deck Unlock"—from what Zero knew, the concept of the Extra Deck in this world was the same as in the anime. You could put existing cards in your Extra Deck, but you could also "create" them during a duel.
To put it simply: the Extra Deck in this world allowed for "on-the-spot card printing." Just like in the anime. As long as you met the summoning conditions, gained the recognition of a Duel Spirit, or received authorization from the AI Eva, you could summon a monster that didn't previously exist in your Extra Deck.
If the reward for maxing out favorability in this system meant he could use the entire Extra Deck library, that was terrifying. It meant that by matching his Main Deck properly, Zero could "print" any card in the vast Yu-Gi-Oh! database that resided in the Extra Deck.
But what was with the "Specific Race" part?
While Zero was wondering, a massive roulette wheel appeared before him. The wheel was marked with the unique symbols of various Yu-Gi-Oh! races: gears for Machine, an axe for Warrior, a pointed hat for Spellcaster, and so on.
The wheel spun at high speed before Zero until it finally came to a halt. The arrow landed on a symbol depicting a dragon's head.
[All Extra Deck cards for the "Dragon" race unlocked.]
In an instant, hundreds of dragon roars seemed to explode in Zero's mind. Even though he wasn't currently in a duel, the sensation of being granted power made it clear to him: He could now use every single Dragon-type monster in the Extra Deck, spanning thousands of years of card history.
So you really are the Duel King System disguised as a Love System. Why go through all the trouble?
