Yugioh Card Summoner

CH.450 D-Wheels

“Okay Cailie. I got your new monsters.” I told the mermaid.

“Really? Thank you!” Cailie flew at me and hugged me tight. 

I have to say, lately she has been using her wheelchair less and less, using her Aerial Swimming skill instead. Most of the time, she only brings it out when she is tired. 

She now also has access to Storage. System link, being a part of the harem and all of that. Of course I’d give her Storage access. 

Cailie had returned the Armed Dragons to me after our dungeon adventure, and I accepted them back. She did keep the Mermaid Knight and Cure Mermaid I gave her though.

But now, she was getting new cards to replace what she ‘lost’. Starting off with the two Simorghs I had to act as her boss monsters. Simorgh, Bird of Divinity and Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry.

Now I will fully admit that Divinity Simorgh is a bit dangerous because of its effect. But Cailie already has Cure Mermaid for HP recovery, and she is about to get a few more things.

Her main lineup of cards will be my entire Aroma package. She already likes the Aromage monsters, because they work with her on the CropFields, so I got more copies of all of them. Then I DNA Transplanted the two Synchroes to be Wind attribute instead of Light.

It really wasn’t necessary, but it will make a clear difference between Cailie’s Aromaseraphy and my Aromaseraphy monsters.

I also installed a copy of both Aroma Garden and Aroma Gardening into the CropFields, making them a bit nicer. It wasn’t a big difference, but every little bit counts.

Then it was time for Cailie’s duel disk. She’d need one if she wanted to summon Synchro monsters.

I went through a few designs, like one that looked like a fish, one that was just a mermaid tail and one that looked like one of those glow sticks you’d see at an idol concert. The last one is because Cailie was an idol, but yeah, she didn’t like that one.

She ended up asking for one that looked like a flower, so I designed one that looked a bit like a rose. … or Ivysaur and Venusaur, depends on who you ask.

Basically, in its ‘off’ state, the bracer looks a lot like a closed flower, but when active, it blooms fully, with the  petals acting as the monster card zones.

For special features, I just added a speaker system to Cailie’s duel disk. It will help with her Battle Song skill. But other than that, it just looks pretty. I can always just make her another one if I want to add more features to it.

Also, for the first time ever, her duel disk is something only she can use, thanks to Owner’s Seal. I’ll be adding them to all of the duel disks in the future, but hers is the first.

After Cailie approved of her duel disk, I quickly showed her how to Synchro summon monsters.

Then it was time for a little fun on my part. Because I finally have enough Momentum for something I’ve been saving for. A duel runner, or a D-wheel, whichever you prefer.

It was a bit of a pain just resummoning my Aromaseraphy on repeat, as they were the only Synchro monsters I had. But I did it and I now have more than 500 Momentum.

I traded in the 500 Momentum and got myself a new tab in my Momentum Reactor tab.

So I just hit the Summon D-Wheel button and the D-Wheel appeared next to me.

… and it looked like a piece of shit. It looked like some sort of a training D-Wheel, not like one of the badass D-Wheels I was expecting.

It honestly looked like a kid's kick bike or something. So before I even took it for a ride, I unsummoned the thing and opened up the Customization tab.

In there, I saw a bunch of duel runners from the anime I could purchase, with Momentum naturally. Anything from Yusei’s Yusei Go to Z-one's ‘D-Wheel’ were available.

Their cost varied on a variety of factors, such as top speed, acceleration, handling and so on, with more advanced D-Wheels cosing way more.

And just something like a colored D-Wheel already costs 1000 Momentum, and the prices don’t get cheaper as they get faster and better.

For those that want to know, Z-one’s D-Wheel costs 100,000 Momentum.

There was also a tab where I could design my own original D-Wheel, but even making one like that would cost Momentum. Basically, the more ‘stat points’ I’d give the D-Wheel, the more expensive it would be. 

Again, the stats I can play with are top speed, acceleration, handling, durability and auto-pilot. I could also add additional features like ‘gliding’ and ‘flight’, but those add a ton to the cost.

I guess that explains why Z-one’s D-Wheel is so expensive. It has all of its stats beyond maxed out and comes with literally every feature available.

But yeah. With the Momentum I currently have, there is no way I’ll be able to make a D-Wheel better than the piece of … practice equipment that I have. 

So while I was salty, I did at least want to take my practice bike for a ride.

---

By the end of the ride, I learned an interesting fact. Riding a D-Wheel produces Momentum. Not a lot, repeat Synchro spam is way more efficient, but it is something. 

The amount of Momentum generated isn’t based on distance traveled, but instead on speed at which you travel. And I know what you are going to say, ‘If you travel x time with y speed, you can calculate the distance. So it does depend on distance.’

So yes, but not really. It depends on speed. If I travel 100 km with a speed of 100 km/h, which is the fastest my ‘training bike’ can travel, I’ll get right around 1 Momentum.

But if I instead had a bike that could travel that same 100 km at a speed of 200 km/h, I’d get around 4 Momentum, despite spending only half the time riding the trip. 

So if I were to ride a D-Wheel with a max speed of 100km/h for one hour, I’d get 1 Momentum, but if I ride an hour with a D-Wheel with a top speed of 200 km/h, it’d be more like 8 Momentum. The speed makes a big difference and I really need a better bike if I really want to even consider riding a D-Wheel to be a good way of generating Momentum.

---

So since I need more Momentum, I need more Synchro monsters. And you know what that means, right? Yeah. More packs.

Besides, I want that Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. It will work as a good dragon for Cailie, if I can’t get Stardust Dragon. She can also always have both.

So yeah. I’ll do ten packs of both Duelist Genesis and Crossroads of Chaos today as well, hoping for any Synchro monsters.

Okay, so the only new card is Quillbolt Hedgehog. It is pretty good in the TCG, but not all that amazing for me. Free summons and all of that.

Next pack.

Spacegate sounds super cool, but it is actually kind of trash. Like for me it is completely useless, but even in the TCG, it is just way too slow. But it might have some interesting teleportation tech, so I might want to look into it. Maybe if I can combine it with Exchange, I can make something like teleportation mirrors. In theory, it should work, because the letter exchange boxes can transfer matter over a long distance. 

But that is for the future. Next pack.

Tricky is … decent. Again, good in the TCG, but not all that amazing for me. I guess he is a Wind Spellcaster and I don’t have all that many of those, so that is nice. And it's not like Tricky is bad. It is just … special summon effects are kind of unnecessary. 

Next pack.

Okay. Few new cards.

Judgment of Thunder is bad. If it was a Quick Play Spell,  maybe you could use it, but a trap that destroys just 1 monster, and you have to specifically summon a Thunder for it, it isn’t worth it.

Oyster Meister is fine-ish. Sadly it doesn’t special summon the token after being destroyed by battle, but it is still decent.

Lightsworn Sabre is perfectly fine. A decent attack boost and it transfers onto another monster if the equipped monster is destroyed.

And De-Synchro is nice. Like actually nice. Unlike Fusions, which can basically only be done by my cards, spirit synchroes are a thing, and I think De-Synchro can break one apart. So if we ever face a situation like we did with Amilie, where someone is using a spirit synchro or a sprite synchro against us, I now have a card for that.

Next pack.

Nothing new here. Next.

Okay. Another few new cards.

Psi-Station is interesting. The level and attack up are not bad effects, and I shouldn’t have to pay the HP cost.

Psychic Rejuvenation can heal me a lot, so that is good. Sure it does rely on Psychic monsters, but so what.

Mirror of Yata is fine. Keeps spirit monsters from returning to my hand after a bit. … but then again, that was never how spirit monsters worked with me. They were just … unable to touch anything. But they could exist. So maybe Mirror of Yata would allow them to actually attack stuff? I don’t know. Maybe I need to experiment with that.

And Dark Resonator is Dark Resonator. It is fine, but nothing super special. It is just a Dark tuner at the end of the day, even if it used to be popular.

Next pack.

Nothing new, next.

Again, nothing new. Next.

Oh? Dharc is new. That is nice. Hopefully I’ll get another one, so I can give one to Unika. She is the one that uses the Charmers.

The Selection is not great. Just … There are better cards that do more with less setup.

And Fiendish Engine Omega … it is a monster. Is it bad? No. Is it as good as some other stuff I have? Not really.

Last pack before I change sets. Still haven’t gotten a single Synchro, so let’s hope for something white.

Nope. No Synchroes here. Lightsworn Barrier is new, but it sucks. It is just a worse Negate Attack. It doesn’t even stop the battle phase, just negates the one attack. I guess the saving grace is the fact that it is a continuous trap, so you can use the effect multiple times, but do you really want to mill your entire deck? Even while playing Lightsworns, that much milling can be bad.

Now, let’s move onto Crossroads of Chaos.

Healing Wave Generator is new, and I could probably use it to make some sort of a healing device. Not that one is necessary, but … maybe I’ll look into it if I have the time.

Next pack.

Bamboo Scrap is new, but it isn’t amazing. Tribute a monster for two tokens, not really worth it. I guess in some situations it is, but yeah. 

And since it is the only new card in this pack, next.

Teleport is new, but again, I don’t need it.

Morphtronic Boomboxen on the other hand. Well, it is a radio. That can attack twice. But more importantly, it is a radio. Radios have speakers, so I can get some speaker tech from it.

Not that I don’t already have functional speakers, but they aren’t the greatest, and Boomboxen might help. 

Next pack.

Morphtronic Monitron isn’t something I need. I can just … order my monster to change their battle position. I don’t need a continuous trap for that.

But Black Rose Dragon though. I think I just found Cailie’s dragon. I mean, it is perfect for her. She likes plants, so she’ll like the plant dragon. I hope. Sure Black Rose Dragon can be a bit destructive, but I think Cailie can handle it. I’ll just get another copy of the card and swap it to Wind attribute, and it will be perfect.

And it is my fifth Synchro, so I can get Clear Wing now.

But first, some more packs.

Morphtronic Radion is okay. The attack boost is good, as is the defense boost. Sadly it is just for Morphtronics, but that is just how it goes.

Next.

Nothing new, next.

Gadget Driver … why? Just why? Why does all the Morphtronic support suck? No one cares that you can change the battle position of multiple Morphtronics at the same time. It doesn’t accomplish much. I guess you can get tokens for the Field spell, but that is about it.

Next pack.

… okay. Why is Mosaic Manticore awful? Like yes, it lets you summon the tributed monsters back, but why can’t they attack and why are their effects negated? Just asking. But since I can normal summon it without tributes, it is just fine for me.

Machine Lord Ur is okay. It can attack everything, but sadly 1600 attack isn’t all that much. 

Next pack.

Nothing new. Last pack. And honestly, I don’t really even care what I get. The Black Rose Dragon was already enough. 

… but I wouldn’t mind one more Synchro.

Well, no Synchro monster, but Psychic Trigger is new. It isn’t all that good, but collecting for the sake of collecting is fun, so I’ll take it.

Now, just a quick visit to the Factory. I need to get some more copies of Black Rose Dragon so that I can DNA Transplant one of them. Maybe I should even DNA Surgery it to be a Plant-type monster? I’ll consider that.
