Walking down the street, Cyclone and Cabellus strolled leisurely forward.

"I know what you're thinking," Cabellus remarked, ignoring the passersby and the ongoing Great Dragon ritual competition beside them as they walked side by side.

"And what am I thinking?" Cyclone asked helplessly.

"You're wondering why the heck you can't spend a nice afternoon with your wife but instead have to accompany a guy like me for some unknown activity, right?" Cabellus stated.

Hearing Cabellus' words, Cyclone suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Damn it! Well, if you know, then that's enough!"

"Tch!"

"Duel" is a card game.

It was created by Cabellus, the president of the Excitement Guild, with the aim of promoting himself to the world.

Cyclone remembered that this was the poet's dream.

Different from those literary poets, Cyclone had never heard Cabellus recite poetry or engage in any literary activities.

This man abandoned all that, all for the poet's ultimate vision of becoming a well-known figure.

To achieve this, Cabellus followed Cyclone's advice and had his handsome face drawn on a card, using it to create a game to attract others to play.

It sounded well thought-out, but when Eileen, who awakened her business talents, evaluated "Duel," it was deemed worthless.

There were many reasons for this, but one of the biggest issues was the lack of replay value.

For "Duel" to become the world's most popular game, it must have high replayability.

However, the current "Duel" only had two decks: one deck centered around Cabellus, and the other around another member of the Excitement Guild, the dwarf Mathews.

Not to mention, no one knew the protagonists of these cards, and having only two decks in "Duel" was clearly insufficient.

Simply put, with too few choices and limited tactics available, the game became dull quickly due to its high predictability and lack of excitement.

After all, as a game aimed at the world, in this multicultural society, not only should there be a variety of options, but they should also be profound.

Only then can it be unexpected, inscrutable, and lead to delivering an exciting divine move.

"Adding races... That's a great idea~ Why didn't I think of that?"

"Well~ Sometimes you need an outsider to see things more clearly," Cabellus chuckled as Cyclone said this.

"Hahaha! I never thought you could actually teach me a lesson now~"

Cyclone clenched his fist, wanting to punch him.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Come on, it's just a joke~"

Unfortunately, when Cabellus met Cyclone, it was precisely when Cyclone was at his weakest and most dejected state, and Cabellus' impression of Cyclone had already been formed and couldn't be changed.

The two chatted and laughed, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at their destination.

This was Cyclone's first time participating in an activity as a member of the Excitement Guild.

Witnessing the evolutionary history of "Duel," Cyclone knocked on the door.

"Cyclone, my friend, how well do you understand the cat-eared race?"

Having already knocked on the door, Cabellus still proceeded to ask questions.

Seeing that no one had acknowledged the door, Cyclone pondered for a moment.

"Just like in your game, even though society is a blend of different races, the human race still only cares about human matters."

It was nothing out of the ordinary to only care about one's own affairs and prioritize them—it was only natural.

Cyclone knocked on the door again, and this time, someone finally responded.

However, it wasn't the cat-eared individual they expected, but rather an elderly lady standing behind the two.

"Excuse me...who are you?" the elderly lady asked nervously.

"I'm Cabellus. I heard there was a cat-eared individual here..."

"That, that child wouldn't do anything wrong!!" The elderly lady exclaimed, already worried before Cabellus could finish speaking.

Upon hearing this, Cyclone and Cabellus glanced at each other.
