Chang Yan's health condition prevented him from streaming for too long each day. After logging off, he opened his eyes, looking slightly dazed, and stared blankly at the slightly moldy ceiling above him.

The lighting in this place is very poor, but that's to be expected given the price.

I received donations from two wealthy women, so my life should be fine lately. Hmm, maybe I can buy some medicine to help me recover. Also, there's a problem with the faucet at home; I'll need to get someone to fix it...

Thinking about his future, Chang Yan looked at the deck of cards on the table and suddenly felt lost.

What am I even doing...?

Why did it turn out like this? Everything was fine at the beginning, wasn't it?

is it my fault

He asked himself the question, because he was the only one here who could ask it.

No, absolutely not.

I just did what a duelist should do, didn't I?

Is it wrong to challenge them and win repeatedly?

No, absolutely not.

But why am I hiding in this godforsaken place now? What have I been doing besides playing cards?

Nothing.

"Then why the hell am I like this now?!"

The only redeeming feature of this cheap rental is probably its soundproofing.

His pale face looked so ferocious at that moment, and Chang Yan didn't know why he was suddenly like this today.

"Why the hell?! Why the hell?! Why the hell?!"

He didn't know who to curse, he just cursed aimlessly.

Having nothing is not terrible. Although I had such worries when I first came here, I didn't have time to think about them in order to survive.

Starting from nothing, he climbed step by step, moving forward with his own blood and sweat. It was really hard and tiring, but because he had nothing, he could move forward without hesitation.

He reached the summit, he was a true powerhouse, and then everyone stabbed him in the back.

Having nothing is not terrible; what is terrible is climbing to the top from nothing, possessing everything, and then becoming nothing again...

"Isn't this supposed to be the world of card games? Why the hell aren't you giving me a dark game?!"

He punched the pillow, and the swollen, pale mass revealed a horrifying, dead-like appearance.

Unfortunately, there is no dark game in this world; even the so-called card king can only fall into the abyss in the face of enormous capital.

However, there is no magic in this world, but there is science fiction.

Sometimes, when technology reaches a certain level, it becomes magical.

(In the original work, I really couldn't understand how Kusanagi's younger brother got caught and put on TV; it was practically a dark game!)

The computer screen suddenly turned on, and the flickering static added an eerie atmosphere to the cramped room.

"What's going on? I didn't hit the remote..."

Looking at the screen that had started up unexpectedly, Chang Yan forced himself to calm down and looked for the remote control.

"Hello, Mr. Chang Yan."

The sudden electronic sound made Chang Yan jump up instantly, and he immediately pointed the knife he had just pulled out at the source of the sound—the computer that had started up unnaturally.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to arrest you. On the contrary, I'm here to seek cooperation—"

"Seeking cooperation with the strongest duelist of the past."

The screen stopped flashing with static, and characters appeared on the black interface, providing subtitles for the speech.

"You've mistaken me for someone else, Mr. Hacker. As you can see, I'm just a third-rate streamer."

"Please do not doubt my abilities, Your Excellency. Your disguise is indeed foolproof and can certainly deal with humans, but unfortunately, I am not human."

"If I had to put it into words, I would be AI, that is, artificial intelligence. Through a series of factors such as voice, movement, and body shape, and through massive data comparison, I can deduce your identity. Of course, at present, only I can do this."

What the heck? AI? What does this have to do with me?

As the saying goes, "hold your knife tight," and now he's hesitant about whether to call the police.

"It seems you won't admit it without concrete evidence, Mr. Changyan. Then let's use the most basic rule of this world—a duel—to get your acceptance."

What the heck? It starts playing cards at the drop of a hat? You're not even using artificial intelligence, are you?!

The next moment, Chang Yan's wristwatch emitted a morbid light, the narrow room disappeared, and the surroundings transformed into a data world that one could only see in movies.

The computer is still in front of him, but can you tell me why my keyboard has turned into a duel disk?

"Let's duel, sir. If you lose, I will tell everyone where you are now, along with all the evidence."

A dangerous light flashed on the computer screen, and the blood-red and dazzling characters seemed to bleed from the screen and then be reflected in Chang Yan's pupils.

"This is my data space for the Duel Connection, a virtual world that uses the latest mental imagery technology. You can directly use your old deck."

"Let me see how much strength the former strongest duelist still has!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire data space transformed into a competition arena—the arena where he had once stood, the battlefield where he first displayed his prowess.

"You, you......"

He gasped for breath, but his raging anger could not erupt due to his physical condition. The blood flowing in his body seemed to boil, threatening to scald his eyes and burst forth.

"Why, why————"

All he wants now is to live a little longer. He's even decided to be a small-time streamer until he dies...

Mingming has clearly resigned herself to her fate...

He covered his face in anguish, seemingly unwilling to see those past scenes again.

"Sir, please stop pretending. It's too fake. After all, you've been thinking about revenge every single moment since then, haven't you?"

His response was met with those dark eyes.

Chapter 788 The Raptor's Real Boss is Me—Ah, I'm Dead

"You can activate this skill by selecting 2 XYZ monsters on the field. Send the selected 2 monsters to the Graveyard."

"After that, Special Summon 1 Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck that has a Rank equal to or one Rank lower than the combined Ranks of those 2 Xyz Monsters, except for one monster with 'Number' in its name. Then, use this card as Xyz Material, overlaying it below you. During the turn this card was activated, all damage your opponent takes becomes 0."

“Select your Rank 4 [No. 16 Color Ruler] and my Rank 6 [Eternal Lady Beatrice] as targets.”

"Then, by chaining the effect of [Eternal Lady Beatrice], one card from the deck is sent to the graveyard, and [Shaddoll] is sent to the graveyard."

Activating Lady's effect simply creates a graveyard, but in the next moment, two Xyz Monsters are enveloped by the domain of God Star and swept into the chaotic universe above the altar belonging to the Valley of Mist.

"This is quite a surprise, Kang Feng. But 4+6, 10th tier, or 9th tier? That's really bad..."

As the saying goes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Transforming that radiant lady and the ruler of color into a path to chaos, the ultimate hunter emerges!"

"Special Summon—[Rapid Raptor - Ultimate Falcon]!"

"Why the hell would you include this monster in your Extra Deck?!"

There aren't any raptors in this day and age, are there?

Chang Yan's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) surged immediately upon seeing this card, and he had a lot to say.

Furthermore, why would you include a Rank 10 monster that you can't even summon in one of the few Extra Deck cards in your Shadowraven deck?

"you guess?"

Should I tell you that I included "Troublemaker" in my deck?

This guy definitely put [Troublemaker] in his deck!

Neither of them spoke, but Chang Yan knew from seeing the card that the other must have included some kind of underhanded trick in their deck...

Could Kang Feng's other card be this one?

Class: 10

Attribute: Dark

Race: Bird-Beast

Attack: 3500

Defense: 2000

The deep blue giant eagle spread its golden steel wings; although it's called a bird-beast race, it looks more like a mechanical race...

The Raptor is definitely the big brother of the Raptor family, not for any other reason than that this card is not affected by the effects of other cards!

Complete resistance!

Although it will still be killed by the Extreme Dragon and the Sea Turtle, this card is already very powerful!

With attacks surpassing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, complete resistance, and a powerful effect used to suppress the opponent, this is the true boss! That level 12 guy doesn't even deserve to be called a boss?

"Wow, that's really impressive, a guy with 3500 attack and all resistances..."

Don't be fooled by how this big guy gets countered in various ways in the anime card game; in this era, this card is as powerful as a god. It's no joke that one card can beat an entire deck.

However, his current opponent cannot be judged by common sense!

“Powerful, Kang Feng, but this is far from enough for me—first, the Magic Card [XYZ Revenge]!”

The demon-possessed dragon crawled out of the cracks of death and roared maliciously at the world once more.

"If your opponent controls an Xyz Monster that holds Xyz Materials, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 Xyz Monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster, and then add 1 Xyz Material your opponent controls as Xyz Material under that monster. You can only activate 1 'Xyz Revenge' card per turn."

"Although Ultimate Falcon has all resistances, my effect only applies to your materials. Revive, [No. 16, Ruler of Color]!"

A strange angel ascended to earth through the crack, its triangular body spinning continuously in the sky.

"And then this card—the Spell Card [Declarator of the Abyss] is activated!"

"Pay 1500 Life Points to declare 1 monster of each Race and Attribute to activate this effect. If a monster of the declared Race or Attribute is on your opponent's field, your opponent must send that monster to the Graveyard. This turn, your opponent cannot activate the effects of that monster or any monsters with the same name."

Commonly known LP: 7000 → 5500

Like [Sharing Pain], this effect applies to players; regardless of your resistance, you're doomed.
