Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

I want to become a duel master VS. Playing games should be fun.

"The ID on the other end is quite interesting. It seems like the person is quite optimistic."

After glancing at the name on the other side, Xilin said with a smile.

Soon, the opponent went first, and a normal monster with no effect was Normal Summoned to the field.

"That's it? The other side looks so simple and honest... huh?"

Before Xilin could finish her sentence, she was choked by the sight before her.

After summoning the monster, the opponent immediately set all four cards remaining in their hand face-down in the Spell & Trap Zone behind the monster.

Sirin: "?"

[The first four are front and back; please feel free to offer your feedback!]

[Hahaha, is this the legendary T-formation battle formation? LOL~]

The person opposite me is definitely a sunny and cheerful person!

"No way, who starts with one in front and four in the back???"

Xilin couldn't help but complain, and soon heard the sound of it being her turn.

"My turn..."

Looking at the cards she had drawn, Sirin's throat bobbed, and she nervously clicked the mouse, steeling herself to summon a monster.

"Summon, Imperial Seahorse..."

If this monster survives one turn, its effect allows it to be used as a tribute when summoning a LIGHT monster, allowing her invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon to emerge and annihilate the opponent!

But just then, a voice that gave her a headache rang out.

"Trap Card activated, Pitfall! Destroy any monster you summon with 1000 or more ATK!"

With a bang, the monster that Sirin had just summoned shattered instantly and entered the graveyard.

"you!!!!"

Her chest heaved violently as Xilin clenched her teeth.

The Tunnel Boring Trap card wasn't very useful in later versions, since it could only counter Normal Summon.

However, this is the original version, which mainly uses normal attacks, so it can be said to be quite practical and annoying.

With no usable spell or trap cards in her hand, Sirin could only helplessly end her turn.

Soon, the opponent summoned another ordinary monster with no special effects, which attacked her directly, leaving her wide open.

Simply put, her life score dropped below 2000 points.

"My turn..."

As she said those words, Sirin lost all her confidence. Looking at the three face-down cards still on the other side, she cautiously clicked the mouse.

"Defense signal summoned, Long Spear Dragon..."

As soon as her character finished speaking in the game, the other side, unsurprisingly, spoke again.

"Activate the Trap Card, Crossbow Troops, Tribute one monster on the field, and destroy one card on your field!"

Instantly, the monster that Sirin had just summoned was destroyed.

Sirin: "?"

Seriously?! This is ridiculous! Is this how you play cards?!

Stop! Your deck is crying!!!

[All of this is a necessary sacrifice, I'm sure of it!]

[Haha, now I know why this guy is called "Playing Games with a Laugh"—I'd be happy too!]

Actually, this kind of purely annoying and underhanded deck is easy to break through. If there's a card with an effect like Feather Duster, the opponent can just surrender.

But the problem was that Sirin was too honest and didn't realize the dangers of the duel arena. She didn't have any countermeasures in her deck, so she was annoyed by Sirin's face and decided to just surrender so that her opponent wouldn't get one last good time.

"This game is trash, let whoever wants to play it play it!!"

She immediately closed the game interface and started playing Cities: Skylines to torment the citizens. She had just repaired 72 toll booths and was now preparing to expand to 108.

Soon, a smile returned to her face.

[Citizen: Fine, fine, so this is how you play the game? You torment us because you're unhappy? What kind of lousy mayor is this!]

Pufferfish know how to regulate their emotions.

[The pufferfish said the same thing three days ago, let's wait and see if they're proven wrong in a few days~]

Ignoring the pufferfish, at Gensokyo Corporation, Nangong Yu was listening to Seele's report.

Sitting on his lap, the trainee secretary secretly tickled his chest with her small hand while talking to him.

"Stop fooling around, finish what you've got."

Grabbing her fidgety little hand, Seele gave him a reproachful look.

I've never seen my brother be this well-behaved before, and now he's acting all serious.

There was nothing she could do; since her brother had said so, Xi'er could only obediently report back.

"Has the number of registered users already exceeded 80 million? That's not bad."

Yu-Gi-Oh!'s audience is naturally incomparable to Pokémon's. In just over a month, it has already exceeded many of Anti-Entropy's expectations to have 80 million players. Even the Duel Disk has sold over 20 million copies and is still steadily increasing.

With continued proper management, while it may not reach the nationwide popularity of Pokémon or Houmu, creating a top-ten global IP shouldn't be a problem.

Currently, Anti-Entropy is also building related supporting facilities around the world, and several large dueling arenas have been built, attracting the attention of a large number of players.

Aside from these, the only thing Anti-Entropy didn't expect was that the sales of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards exploded.

How explosive were the sales figures?

In just one month, if we calculate based on individual cards, the sales of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards have exceeded 10 billion. That's right, not millions, but 10 billion. This is five times more than the initial estimate of 2 billion in sales, which has surprised many experts. They really don't understand why a small card has such a great attraction for players. On average, each player can buy two card boxes.

These cards aren't cheap. Each card has a built-in encryption coil for Duel Disk recognition, the kind that only a company with Schicksal's level of technology can crack. But Schicksal is too big and powerful to pirate Gensokyo's cards, so all the cards circulating in the market are guaranteed to be genuine.

Therefore, the most important part of the card is the internal coil, not the outer cardboard. Even if you have a rare card, you can use it freely. If it gets damaged, you only need to spend the price of a card pack to get a new card from the official store. It will be exactly the same as the original, so players don't need to worry at all.

Furthermore, the cards are constantly being updated and replaced, so the future profitability will likely surprise everyone once again.

"It seems that Yu-Gi-Oh! can finally be left to its own devices. From now on, the subsequent operation of Yu-Gi-Oh! can be handed over to Sakura's team."

After hearing what Xi'er said, Nangong Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. Feeling quite content, he couldn't help but hug his little secretary and start playing with ice cream and steamed buns. Xi'er let out a soft moan and rolled her eyes at her brother.

He was just pretending to be serious!

"It seems that Sakura is tied to Gensokyo by you and can't leave."

Bronya, who was working on her code at her desk, sat up, rubbing her aching back and smiling lazily.

“When I called her over, I never thought she would leave. The treatment I gave her was much better than what she received at Anti-Entropy. And most importantly, Ling has now settled down at the local key high school, and in another six months she will be going to St. Freya University. She can’t leave.”

He slipped his hand inside her clothes, and Xi'er trembled, her face flushed, and she slumped limply against her brother.

"Even without Rin's involvement, I doubt Sakura would want to leave."

With a smile, Bronya explained, "There are all sorts of factions in Anti-Entropy, and each team keeps their cutting-edge technology tightly under wraps. Even teams from the same faction are wary of each other. There's no example like Gensokyo where you can borrow people from other teams at will. Sakura's gentle and easy-to-bully personality is much more comfortable here."

In Gensokyo, if a team is short of members, they can simply call two people from next door. Even various technologies are shared without any concealment. This is the benefit of having a clear leadership structure. Although they are divided into different teams, everyone's leader is ultimately only Nangong Yu, Bronya, and Kaguya. There is no backstabbing or intrigue between them.

When Sakura's team arrived, they were so surprised that they couldn't adapt for a moment.

"That's what you said."

Nangong Yu chuckled softly and bit Xi'er's ear.

"So, can we start our vacation now?"

She stood up, walked behind Nangong Yu, and slapped the back of his head in an annoyed manner.

All he does when he's free is play with Seele. Looks like he hasn't been exploiting her enough at night.

"It's been over a month since Yu-Gi-Oh! was released, it's time to take a break."

Reluctantly, he let go of her mouth and instead hugged Xi'er's waist. He stopped moving, but Xi'er kept rubbing against him.

I had planned to take a vacation as soon as Yu-Gi-Oh! was released, but it's been delayed until now. My sister, Airi, has been urging him to hurry up so many times.

"There's still more than a month left before the Lunar New Year. Do you have any plans to go anywhere?"

It was a long holiday, so naturally she couldn't stay at home. Seeing Seele being released and panting heavily, Bronya pushed Seele aside and sat on Rain's lap herself.

Xier: “?”

Bronya's more voluptuous body provided an even more wonderful tactile experience. When it was her turn, she didn't care about his wandering hands anymore. In fact, she even wanted him to be more active, and she lazily leaned against him, letting him play with her.

Blinking her eyes, Seele listened to another version of herself in her mind scolding her for being useless, and then, feeling wronged, she went behind her brother and hugged his neck from behind.

However, Nangong Yu had no time to care about the tenderness before and after at this moment.

Upon hearing this topic, Nangong Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.

What could he say?

Planning to go out alone with Sister Aili?

Believe it or not, the two people in front of and behind him could tear him apart the moment he finished speaking.

Is it that Bronya's gun wasn't sharp enough, or Seele's blade wasn't fast enough?

He suddenly felt like strangling himself for agreeing to Ellie's request a month ago, how could he have just impulsively agreed?!

Even if U gave him another chance, he would still agree, but that wouldn't stop him from condemning it fiercely.

N: "The weather has been getting colder lately, and I'm thinking of going somewhere warm."

Upon hearing this topic, Kaguya also put aside her work and stood up, excitedly coming to the group's side.

After drinking some wine, seeing that there was no place for her next to her husband, Kaguya had no choice but to pull up a stool and sit down next to him.

④"Warmer places, hmm... how about going to a beach in a tropical region? It feels like it's been a while since I've been to the beach."

Ba Xier rested her chin on her brother's shoulder and made a soft suggestion.

"As for the beach, Cocolia's mom has a private beach in North America, wait..."
