Chapter 640 “Infinite” Is the Best?

How to tell the rarity of a card?

For Yu-Gi-Oh players, if they want to judge the rarity of a card, they don't need to look at the so-called "star rating" or "attack and defense values". They only need to take a look at the material of the card surface.

With the same materials, we can judge who is better and who is worse based on the "effect".

Of course, extremely popular cards such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon can be ranked among the top rarities even if their monster effects are poor or have no effect.

Newcomers often fall into a misunderstanding.

The higher the star rating, the higher the attack power and defense power, and the rarer and more precious this card is...

Especially "Twelve Stars" or "Infinite Attack and Defense", and the Attack and Defense are 0 or? The card is very popular among newcomers.

After you understand a little bit about the rules and gameplay, you will like those cards with "unbelievable effects", especially the banned cards, which are often talked about...

After getting to know more deeply and becoming a veteran who has read countless cards, I finally understood the preciousness of cards with silver characters, gold flashes, silver fragments, gold fragments and explosive flashes, etc., and let go of the "forbidden cards", "infinite" and "twelve stars". "The persistent pursuit.

Why is this so?

Obviously gold and silver cards are very conspicuous, and anyone who is not blind can tell the difference. Why do you think twelve stars and infinity are more precious?

The pirates have to be blamed!

Domestic pirated cards are rampant. In order to pursue profits, pirates print gold and silver cards arbitrarily, making these precious cards cheaper than "toilet paper".

Pirated gold and silver cards are rampant. No one will believe that this kind of card is more precious than "Infinity"...

Then here comes the problem!

The pirates are not fools. They even print gold and silver cards like crazy. Why not print the more popular "Infinity" and "Twelve Stars"?

In fact, this is an illusion!

If you think there are very few twelve-star and infinity cards, that's because there are only a few twelve-star monster cards. The pirates can't go to Neon and threaten the original author with a knife to draw more "Twelve Stars", right?

The special domestic environment creates a special rarity of cards.

Fortunately, times have changed!

Meng Lang, who didn't want to make the same mistake again, decided on Yu-Gi-Oh's card rarity system by referring to Takahashi Kazuki's approach.

Ignore magic and trap cards.

Ordinary monster cards (N) are divided into two categories. One is the slate-colored "Mortal Bone Card", which does not have any special effects. The other is a soil-colored "effect card" with special effects.

There is also a kind of NR card, which has the same style as the regular card, but the packaging rate is very low. Maybe 2-3 cards can be issued from a hundred bags of cards.

For the general explosion card (NPR), the card image remains unchanged, but the card name has been holographically processed, and the visual effect is great.

The production process of silver-letter cards (R), flash cards (SR) and gold-letter cards (UR) is the same. Either the card name is hot stamped or the card surface is foiled, with a flashing effect.

The craftsmanship of silver shredded cards (SER) and gold shredded cards (USR) goes a step further. The card names are specially hot stamped and silvered, showing a shimmering effect. The card surface has also been upgraded to a foil linear glitter.

The flash card (PR) is holographically processed based on the gold letter card, showing a mesh-like flashing effect. Because of the special material, it is easy to bend.

In addition to the above types, there are also three-dimensional cards (UTR), holographic cards (HR), gold cards (GR), gold three-dimensional cards (GUTR) and gold holographic cards (GGR).

However, these processes are quite difficult to do.

Considering the number of cards in the early stage, any holographic three-dimensional craftsmanship was not within the scope of Meng Lang's consideration.

Gold and silver characters and broken gold and silver are enough.

When the number of cards increases and the number of players increases, the holographic three-dimensional process will be considered to make a batch of cards with higher value.

And, these are collectible cards.

Contests are held to motivate players. Meng Lang will also arrange for designers to design one or two "champion exclusive" cards. All in all, there are many different types of cards.

The gold value is full!

Except for the competition reward cards, all other cards are put into card packs and sold at a uniform price. What kind of card you can buy depends on your luck.

Of course, there are different types of card packs.

According to the race and attributes of the cards, they can be divided into dragon card packs, demon card packs, angel card packs...

A well-deserved money printing machine!

Even though piracy is rampant, Yu-Gi-Oh has still generated tens of billions of dollars in revenue over more than two decades, making Konami a lot of money.

What about changing to PD?

With such a good copyright environment, wouldn’t it be difficult to triple revenue? With the right publicity, it’s not difficult to quintuple your sales.

After all, the domestic market is huge!

If this IP is well managed, it can easily generate more than one billion US dollars in revenue a year. No matter how brave you are, it is not impossible to achieve revenue exceeding 10 billion US dollars in a year!

…

The money printing press program went well.

After the first batch of cards came out, they received a good response. Now we just have to wait for the comics to be released, the animation to start broadcasting, and the money printing press to return to its position.

But Tiga encountered a problem.

The upcoming eighth episode "Halloween Night", as you can tell from the title, tells the story of "Halloween".

But there is no such festival in China.

The young people on the set didn't think there was anything wrong with Halloween. But the older people on the crew were very resistant to this Western ghost festival.

"We have our own festivals, why should we pursue foreign festivals? Ultraman has made so many movies, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have not appeared once, but the Western Festival has appeared many times..."

Meng Lang had a strange expression when he heard this.

really!

If no one reminds him, he will forget it.

Ultraman has made so many films, and Christmas has appeared in the plot once or twice, but he always subconsciously ignored it. After all, young people in China also like to celebrate Christmas.

But Christmas occasionally appears, and the Spring Festival, as an important domestic holiday, never appears in the plot...

This is an obvious BUG!

The audience may be thinking, why are Christmas and Halloween happening, but not our Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival?

Meng Heizhu worships foreigners and favors foreigners?

Thinking of this, Meng Lang made a decision.

All the costumes and props for Halloween are ready, and the schedule is tight. It may be too late to tamper with the plot temporarily.

But it can be changed in subsequent episodes!

For example, Dagu and Lina's trip to the zoo can be changed to a May Day holiday for Labor Day. All members of the victory team can enjoy flower viewing, which can be changed to moon viewing during the Mid-Autumn Festival...

Changes like this do not affect the plot. Appropriate addition of traditional festivals will make the audience feel more involved.

Kill multiple birds with one stone!

In addition to the changes in festivals, there are also some overlooked details that can also be modified appropriately.

For example, the settings of Suna Ghost and Obik can be integrated into some Chinese folklore to enhance the sense of substitution as much as possible without changing the plot.

Take Su Nagui as an example.

When the victory team goes to investigate, a villager can be arranged to say: "There is no Su Nagui here, there is only Xingtian! Xingtian, who competed with the Yellow Emperor for the throne and was beheaded..."

The man who defeated the Suna Ghost many years ago and sealed it was not a wandering samurai swordsman, but a true Taoist.

As for whether Su Nagui is related to Xing Tian, ​​why he looks like this, and what is the identity of the Taoist real person...

This is left to the audience’s imagination!

I'm sorry for coming back late.
