I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Wang Xiaoyi and the Elf King Dragon (in human form) returned to their room together. A tranquil atmosphere filled the room, except for an inconspicuous object in the corner that caught their attention—the Star Sword.

At this moment, the Star Sword lay quietly in the corner, emitting a faint blue light, like a distant star twinkling in the night sky. Wang Xiaoyi and the Elf King Dragon exchanged a glance, both filled with doubt. Although the light was weak, it seemed to contain a mysterious power.

The Elf Dragon King (in human form) approached the Star Sword and examined it closely. His eyes revealed a keen insight into magical artifacts. After a moment, he was surprised to find a complex exorcism rune engraved on the blade.

“I see,” the Elf King Dragon suddenly realized. “This Star Sword is not just an ordinary sword; it also has the effect of exorcising demons. This rune is the key; it can release a power that keeps low-level demons away.”

Wang Xiaoyi also came over to take a closer look, his heart filled with surprise and delight. The Star Sword he had previously obtained from the Nightmare-level dungeon had high combat stats, but it didn't have any special effects. This one, however, possessed such a miraculous exorcising effect, which surprised and delighted him.

“The exorcism effect of this sword can be used to protect the village,” said the Elf Dragon King (in human form). “Let me draw a magic circle to amplify the exorcism effect of this sword. That way, monsters no higher than level 30 will not dare to approach.”

Wang Xiaoyi nodded in agreement: "This way, even if we go out on adventures in the future, the village can remain safe. This sword is quite useful; we originally wanted to sell it for money."

The Elf King Dragon walked to a corner of the house, its gaze both focused and casual. It extended a finger and lightly touched the air; a flash of light appeared, and a complex and incomprehensible magic circle gradually took shape. Its movements were fluid and swift, as if it were painting a beautiful scroll, except that this scroll was composed of mysterious magical energy.

After completing the magic circle, the Elf King Dragon carefully inserted the Star Sword into its center. Instantly, the magic circle began to flicker, like stars twinkling in the night sky. The Star Sword also emitted a blue light, which slowly spread out like flowing water, gradually enveloping the entire village.

Although the blue light was beautiful and mysterious, it was generally invisible to villagers; only higher-level adventurers could faintly sense the subtle fluctuations in the air. However, this constantly flashing blue light posed a problem for Wang Xiaoyi. He frowned and muttered, "How can I sleep with this light on all the time? It's too dazzling."

Upon hearing this, the Elf Dragon King (in human form) curled its lip impatiently and said, "So much trouble." With that, it waved its hand, creating an invisible barrier around the Star Sword. This barrier, like a transparent wall, blocked the light from both the Star Sword and the magic circle. From the outside, the corner appeared empty, as if everything had returned to normal.

However, the Elf Dragon King did not stop. It stood there, its brow furrowed, seemingly deep in thought. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and it began to scribble and draw around the magic circle again. This time, it added some runes related to defense and attack. These runes shimmered with a mysterious light, echoing the other runes on the magic circle.

After completing all this, the Elf King Dragon nodded in satisfaction. It explained, "If any lawbreakers want to destroy the village, they will definitely try to break this magic circle. These protective measures I added ensure that the magic circle will not be easily destroyed. Generally speaking, without the strength of at least level 50, this magic circle cannot be destroyed. Don't even know who designed it."

Looking at the Elf King Dragon (in human form), Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. Although it sometimes muttered to itself and was particularly greedy, it was efficient and decisive in its work, never dragging its feet. These traits made Wang Xiaoyi trust and rely on it even more.

However, a somewhat outrageous idea suddenly popped into his head. He thought, how wonderful it would be if the Elf Dragon King (in human form) could reshape the runes on the Star Sword, preventing any monsters below level 90 from approaching the village! That way, the village would be practically invincible.

Wang Xiaoyi told the Elf Dragon King (in human form) about his idea. After listening, the Elf Dragon King (in human form) reprimanded him sternly: "Young man, don't be too greedy! Engraving runes on a weapon is extremely difficult, requiring highly skilled craftsmen to complete, and the number of times it can be engraved is also limited. Weapons like the Star Sword can be re-engraved, but the failure rate is extremely high. The effect after engraving might be worse than it is now, or it might be completely scrapped. Therefore, it is generally very expensive and time-consuming to make such weapons, and very few people make them."

The Elf Dragon King (in human form) stared intently at Wang Xiaoyi, as if trying to see into his very soul. It asked again, "Do you still want to reforge it?" Wang Xiaoyi, feeling uneasy under its gaze, quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, my great, wise, learned, profound, and magnificent teacher. I shouldn't have been greedy. I'm just a free-to-play player; it's truly rare to get an SSR weapon by chance. I shouldn't have ruined it; that would have been a complete waste."

After listening to Wang Xiaoyi's words, the Elf King Dragon (in human form) nodded. Its bright eyes sparkled with anticipation, and with a wave of its hand, it said casually, "Alright, I haven't read the comics for days, hurry up and catch up. And that game, I built a dragon deck myself, full of high-level monsters, very imposing, but it's so hard to summon them, why do I keep losing? Can you adjust it for me?"

As he spoke, the Elf King Dragon (in human form) carefully took out an NDS game console from his spatial backpack and handed it to Wang Xiaoyi. Wang Xiaoyi looked at the familiar machine and couldn't help but chuckle. This was originally his machine, but now it had become the Elf King Dragon's treasure. He smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, let me borrow it for a bit."

Wang Xiaoyi took the NDS and skillfully opened the game. His previously saved game progress was displayed on the screen, and he began to carefully examine the Dragon deck of the Elemental King Dragon. This deck was indeed unbalanced; every card was a Level 6 or higher monster, especially with three copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. In the DM era, Blue-Eyes White Dragon was the highest single-target attack common card, possessing powerful attack and defense. However, as the Elemental King Dragon (human form) said, summoning these monsters was indeed somewhat difficult. There were no low-level tribute monsters, and no corresponding spell or trap cards, resulting in some tactical shortcomings.

Wang Xiaoyi wasn't actually very familiar with Dragon decks. He usually used four-star monsters with 1900 or 2000 high attack power to stack attack power with equipment, such as Combined Power, Magician's Power, Demon Axe, and Unicorn Horn. The NPCs in the NDS Championship are quite low-IQ and easy. He removed some high-star Dragon monsters, added some low-star monsters as tributes for high-star monsters, added some cards with monster effects, and added some spell cards and trap cards to make it more balanced.

The Elf King Dragon (in human form) sat to the side, eating the potato chips Wang Xiaoyi had given him (one of the recently acquired otaku snack sets), intently reading the comic book in his hands, occasionally glancing at Wang Xiaoyi's actions. It didn't yet have a deep understanding of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, nor had it studied tactics in depth.

Wang Xiaoyi said to the Elf King Dragon (in human form), "It should be fine now. This version is a bit old, so you can familiarize yourself with the gameplay first. I have a feeling that a new game console will be available for you to play the new version in a while."

The Elf King Dragon (in human form)'s eyes lit up. Excitedly, it put its NDS aside and became completely absorbed in the world of comics, temporarily forgetting about playing games. It secretly lamented that it wished it had three heads and six arms so it could enjoy both games and comics simultaneously, experiencing double the pleasure.

Just then, the Elf King Dragon (in human form)'s eyes lit up again, and a thought flashed through its mind: "That's right, I have a soul clone!" This idea excited it greatly. So, it decided to summon its clone.

The Elemental Dragon King (in human form) closed its eyes, concentrated its mental energy, and began summoning a clone. A moment later, a clone resembling its original form appeared beside it. This clone inherited some of the original's consciousness and abilities and could act independently.

The main body of the Elf King Dragon (in human form) began intently reading the comic, immersed in the captivating storyline. Meanwhile, the distracted player picked up the NDS and started testing the Dragon deck. The distracted player continuously experimented with various combinations and tactics, carefully observing the effects of each card, searching for the optimal summoning method and battle strategy.

Originally, the Soul Clone was a powerful skill used to fight enemies, but this otaku dragon had a unique idea: to use it for playing games, truly pushing his skill to its limits. After a few tests, the Elf King Dragon (Clone Form) frowned and said, "Your deck isn't very good either, and you always lose. I'll do it myself."

Wang Xiaoyi shook his head helplessly. Because he hadn't played in a long time, he was adjusting the deck based on past experience. He said, "Yes, yes, I'm really bad at it. You'll have to do it yourself." Wang Xiaoyi thought to himself, "These days, people play games for convenience. They just auto-battle, other players build their decks, and they just copy their strategies without thinking. It's so slow." Back in the Chinese server, he loved using "All Things Under Heaven" and "Dragon Riders," like a lottery, blowing up the back row and then the front row—it was so much fun. Even though he couldn't play ranked, it was still quite enjoyable for casual play.

Upon hearing this, the Elf King Dragon (in its clone form) gleamed with confidence. It began skillfully adjusting its deck, adding support and control cards to make the dragon deck more flexible and versatile in battle. After much effort, it finally found a deck combination that suited its needs.

Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the Elemental Dragon (in its clone form) so engrossed in the game. He knew that the Elemental Dragon's love for Yu-Gi-Oh! wasn't just because of its entertainment value, but also because of its deep interest in the strategy and challenge of card games.

"The books you gave me, especially the Dragon Ball one (in its true form), were quite interesting. I wanted more. The 'Wind and Cloud' and 'Divine Weapon Mystery' covers look quite unique, like they belong to people from another world. I haven't started reading them yet. Tell me what the stories are like; if they're interesting, I'll read them."

The first few episodes of *Wind and Cloud* tell the story of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. Nie Feng is a gentle young man who possesses a mysterious power—the Wind God Technique. Bu Jingyun, on the other hand, is a cold and aloof young man who harbors a powerful force—the Cloud-Dispelling Palm. The two meet in the martial arts world and become good friends. Together, they experience many adventures and challenges, gradually growing into powerful figures in the martial arts world.

"The Legend of Divine Weapons" tells a story about divine weapons. The protagonist, Nangong Wentian, is a young man with magical powers who, by chance, obtains a legendary divine weapon—the Heavenly Crystal Sword. The Heavenly Crystal Sword possesses immense power, capable of cutting down all evil. Through his experiences in the martial world, Nangong Wentian gradually grows into a true hero.

The Elemental Dragon (in its true form) gleamed with excitement. It nodded in satisfaction and said, "That sounds good. I'll watch that after I finish Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball. There are just too many! I can't possibly watch them all!" This wasn't a complaint, but a heartfelt cry of happiness.

Wang Xiaoyi opened the Gratitude Points Exchange System. The system displayed the comic books he had already drawn: Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, Feng Yun, and Shen Bing Xuan Qi. After weighing his gratitude points, he selected the next five volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball and exchanged them. A moment later, he took out the selected comic books and handed them to the Elf King Dragon. The Elf King Dragon took the comic books, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Because the Elemental Dragon summoned its clone, the originally spacious bed suddenly felt a bit cramped. The Elemental Dragon (in its true form) frowned, then a glint of magic flashed in its eyes. It flicked its finger and softly chanted a spell, and a gentle ball of magical energy condensed in the room, gradually forming a new small bed.

The new bed was soft and comfortable, radiating a soft glow, as if woven from starlight and moonlight, giving it a dreamlike beauty. The Elf King Dragon nodded in satisfaction, its main body and its clone sitting at opposite ends of the new bed.

The creature was engrossed in reading the Dragon Ball manga, absorbed in the exciting and adventurous story. Knowing that Wang Xiaoyi was resting, it had thoughtfully set up a soundproof barrier so as not to disturb his sleep. At this moment, its face was filled with an excited and joyful smile, a smile brimming with affection for the character of Son Goku. Son Goku's bravery, fearlessness, and legendary adventurous spirit attracted it like a magnet. Whenever it reached an exciting part, it couldn't help but let out soft laughter and exclamations, its voice filled with complete absorption and rapture.

Distracted, it enthusiastically picked up its Nintendo DS and began playing Pokémon Diamond, Animal Crossing, and Nora's Time Factory. It skillfully manipulated the controllers, like a master musician playing a beautiful melody. When playing Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, it was completely absorbed in the fun of catching all sorts of Pokémon, carefully raising them, and bravely challenging various gyms and powerful opponents. It tirelessly collected rare Pokémon, as if embarking on a grand adventure.

When switched to the Animal Crossing game world, its attitude immediately softened. In this vibrant and harmonious little world, it thoroughly enjoyed the heartwarming moments interacting with the adorable animals. One moment it chatted with the animals, the next it busied itself building them comfortable little homes; every action was filled with affection for these little creatures.

Upon entering Nora's Time Workshop, the moment it was distracted and entered the game, it was surprised by the scene before it. It discovered that this game had a strange resonance with itself, because it could also control time and use the magic of time to create or restore all sorts of items.

This game world is full of endless possibilities, like a dreamlike creative paradise. It's easy to get lost in it, completely immersed. It revels in the joy of creativity and crafting, each new creation made with the power of time feeling like composing a unique melody.

Through continuous exploration and practice, the game allowed the player to create a wider variety of items. Things that previously only existed in their imagination gradually took shape with the help of the game. This process also greatly broadened its horizons, allowing it to see more of the mysteries of creation and time.

Distracted, it exclaimed, "Is this a game? This is practically an alchemy course! If only all alchemists could come and play this game—no, come and take this course! They would surely learn so much unique knowledge and skills here, and maybe even create some amazing results!" It was completely immersed in its love for this magical game and its amazement at this unique experience.

After playing for a while, it seemed to remember something and switched back to Pokémon Diamond. It once again skillfully controlled its character, its eyes shining with determination and confidence. In the game world, it bravely challenged various gyms, and the trainers within became its opponents. Facing powerful enemies, it calmly responded, skillfully utilizing various Pokémon skills and tactics. At the same time, it didn't forget to collect rare Pokémon; each new rare species it discovered was like finding a treasure.

Just then, Rein, who was in the room, also felt tired. He lay down on his small bed, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to be soaring through the sky with the New Universe. They passed through the clouds, feeling the wind whistling past their ears, and the sunlight shining on them, warm and bright.

In their dreams, Raine and the New Universe soared through the air, witnessing beautiful mountains and rivers, bustling cities, and tranquil countryside. They also encountered many wondrous creatures and mysterious phenomena, each adventure filling them with excitement.

As Renn was immersed in his beautiful dream, the Elf King Dragon (in its true form) and its clone were also enjoying the games and comics respectively. The room was filled with a joyful and warm atmosphere, as if time had frozen at that moment.
