Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

This small duel completely ignited everyone's passion.

Outside the convenience store, pairs of students were engaged in fierce duels. The sounds of cards clashing, effects activating, cheers, and screams filled the air, turning the entire area into a makeshift open-air duel arena.

And what about You Chen?

He moved a chair over and sat down next to them, observing as he collected money.

His expression was relaxed and content.

He picked out ten card packs himself, and then threw the remaining 390 packs into the duel.

From morning to afternoon, the duels never stopped.

Some people cheered and jumped for joy when they won, holding the half-price card pack like they had found a treasure; others cursed and swore when they lost, but could only obediently pay 20,000 to buy a pack.

You Chen sat there, watching the banknotes roll in one by one, and the smile on his lips never left his face.

There are a total of four hundred card packs.

He kept ten packs for himself and sold three hundred and ninety packs.

The average price is 12,500.

Total income was 4,875,000.

After deducting the cost of goods purchased, four million—

Net profit of 870,000.

Adding the value of his ten card holders, he made a net profit of one million.

one day.

One million.

Professor Chronos stood not far away and witnessed the whole thing, completely dumbfounded.

Just like that... he made a million just by reselling it?

He blinked his small eyes, then rubbed them to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

You Chen not only made money, but also gained prestige—now the whole school knows that there is a freshman named You Chen, number 001, who is not only strong, but also seeks benefits for everyone.

What's even more terrifying is that he also took the opportunity to look at everyone's deck cards.

He sat there for an entire afternoon, observing dozens of duels, noting who used what tactics, what core cards they had, and how they typically played their moves... he saw it all.

Professor Chronos suddenly felt a chill down his back.

This kid...

They've won so many times they're exhausted.

……

The news reached the principal's office the very next day.

Principal Samejima sat behind his large desk, listening to Professor Chronos's report. His chair, which had been facing away from the door, slowly turned around.

An approving smile appeared on that kind face.

"Hahaha!" He stroked his beard, his eyes narrowing into slits with laughter. "So, this student named You Chen is truly a genius!"

"Not only is he a top student, but he's also a business genius."

He leaned back in his chair, his tone full of admiration.

"Why didn't we think of this brilliant idea before? It can make more money and also stimulate the students' enthusiasm for dueling."

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Professor Chronos stood to the side, his expression somewhat subtle.

"No..." he couldn't help but say, "Principal, how come you don't seem to care at all about the money?"

Principal Samejima waved his hand with a cheerful smile.

"What's there to feel sorry about?"

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "You Chen earned his money through his own abilities; it's perfectly reasonable."

"Besides, consider this million as tuition."

Professor Kuronos paused for a moment, then asked, "Tuition fees?"

"That's right." Principal Samejima put down his teacup, smiling like an old fox. "Think about it, he demonstrated this method to us once, so we can use it directly afterward."

"Purchase limits, competition, and floating pricing—this can ensure fairness while increasing profits."

He paused, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"So this million dollars was spent on this method, and it was worth it."

"Pay close attention to this You Chen," he said, looking at Professor Chronos with a more serious tone. "I have high hopes for him."

Professor Chronos opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just nodded.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the office, Master Daitokuji was holding his cat, Pharaoh, listening to everything with a smile.

"In that case, this student is indeed quite interesting."

He looked down at the cat in his arms and scratched its chin with his finger.

"Right, Pharaoh?"

The Pharaoh gave a lazy "meow" in response.

……

In the dormitory.

You Chen lay on the bed, holding a stack of cards he had just opened, flipping through them one by one.

Ten card packs, fifty cards.

Most of them are just ordinary bones, only good for gathering dust in a card box.

However, a dozen or so of them were somewhat useful.

He picked out these few and looked at them repeatedly in his hand.

By combining it with existing general-purpose cards, a new deck can be built.

You Chen pondered this in his mind and carefully put the cards away.

At that moment, the Great Sun Goddess floated over, a lollipop in her mouth, and said indistinctly:

"You Chen, aren't you supposed to take the monthly written exam this afternoon? Why aren't you there yet?"

You Chen paused for a moment, then looked up at the clock on the wall.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

Why didn't you say so earlier?!

He sprang out of bed with a swift motion, rushing outside without even putting on his shoes properly.

The slow, leisurely voice of the Great Sun Goddess came from behind:

"You didn't ask."

She wrinkled her nose and continued licking her lollipop.

……

At the classroom door.

Teacher Daitoku-ji stood by the podium, slowly and methodically organizing the exam papers. The cat named Pharaoh was curled up on the windowsill, basking in the sun, its tail occasionally flicking.

Just as the pointer was about to skip to the last thirty seconds—

A figure rushed into the classroom.

"Huff...huff..." You Chen leaned against the door frame, panting, his hair all messed up.

Master Daitokuji looked up, still wearing that harmless smile.

"Oh, it's You Chen."

He looked at You Chen with a smile, his tone as gentle as a spring breeze.

"I almost got late."

"Take the test paper."

You Chen nodded, walked over, took the test paper, and found a seat.

He glanced at the question.

As expected, it was still too easy.

For him, these questions require almost no thought; the answers just pop into his head.

The pen tip swished across the paper.

Ten minutes later.

He put down his pen and handed in his paper.

Again, the first one.

……

In the afternoon, after all the students had handed in their papers.

Master Daitokuji found Yujin, who was about to leave.

"You Chen, please wait a moment."

You Chen stopped and turned around.

Master Daitokuji still wore that smiling expression, but a barely perceptible glint seemed to flash in his narrowed eyes.

"You Chen, you do solve problems very quickly, and you get most of them right." He paused, "but you got one question wrong."

You Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Which question?

"Regarding the true/false question about premature burial."

The voice of the teacher at Daitokuji Temple was neither hurried nor slow.

"This card can indeed be considered a lower-tier alternative to [Monster Resurrection], the difference between the two is significant."

"【Premature Burial】can only revive monsters in its own Graveyard, and it is an Equip Card—if the Equip Card is destroyed, the monster will also be sent to the Graveyard."

"And [Monster Resurrection] can revive any monster in the graveyard without any side effects."

Therefore, the statement that "premature burial" is a inferior alternative to "resurrection of the dead" is correct and should be checked.

He looked at You Chen, his smile still gentle.

"But you chose the cross."

You Chen fell silent.

He looked at the smiling teacher in front of him, then glanced at the lazy cat in the distance.

After a few seconds, he slowly spoke:

"Master Daitoku-ji, are you serious?"
