Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

Zhuge Mingren was very clever; even when he made a statement, he didn't come out of hiding.

Now that we are outnumbered, if he remains in the line of sight for too long, they can still come up and kill him.

Hiding in the bushes at least prevents you from being locked up for a "forced duel," giving you room to maneuver.

"I'd like to join you!"

Before the girl could speak, a boy rushed out of the crowd and shouted into the woods, "I'll do anything to help me get into the top league!"

With this scapegoat in mind, the other students also began to waver.

One by one, they ran to the open space to express their stance, wanting to "abandon darkness and embrace light".

Zhuge Mingren wore a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold.

He knew very well that those who could be swayed by self-interest could also be betrayed by even greater self-interest.

Such people can only be used temporarily; they can never be truly trusted.

Upon seeing this, Fujii Shizuko and the others shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that we came here to besiege You Ming?!"

But the students were so focused on that one and only spot that no one paid any attention to their angry rebukes.

On a hillside with a wide view, You Ming stood leaning against the mechanical wreckage, with the newly arrived Kurosaki Ruri beside him.

"These students are still too inexperienced. Faced with a certain death, they didn't even realize that half of their companions were gone."

You Ming turned to look at Kurosaki Ruri, "What do you plan to do with them?"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, wondering why the atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more ambiguous.

Ruri Kurosaki looked up at the sky, where the clouds were dyed crimson by the setting sun, and said softly, "I'm hungry."

You Ming chuckled: "Then let's go back and have dinner."

He looked back down the hillside and saw a group of students, bound by chains, sitting together.

It's like a group of dungeon players trying to challenge the BOSS but getting wiped out.

You Ming waved his hand, and Zhuge Mingren immediately understood, dragging a row of defeated AI corpses over.

As these AI corpses approached Ruri Kurosaki, the score ring on her wrist suddenly vibrated, and her score rapidly increased.

The score jumped from 800 to 1500.

"I don't need these," Ruri Kurosaki said softly.

"Kurosaki Charin from the Quinn Alliance has already contacted me."

"Accumulating more points will be more advantageous when choosing an alliance."

You Ming smiled and said, "After all, top leagues all like to recruit geniuses who rank high in the points rankings."

Zhuge Mingren stepped forward and said respectfully, "Boss... Boss, the students nearby have all been brought under control."

Although he was still a little awkward about changing his tune, he had already accepted You Ming's leadership.

That's a real thigh!

If we don't hug him now, why wait until later?

You Ming looked up at the roaring helicopter in the sky, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He gestured with his chin towards the camera: "Mr. Suzuki, do you think I've passed this trial?"

The examination room was deathly silent. Everyone stared at the smiling boy in black on the screen, speechless for a moment.

The mentors from various alliances found it both absurd and shocking.

In previous years, the professional examinations were always fiercely contested, with everyone showcasing their unique talents.

All students will give their all in this battle that will determine their future.

Even in the safest arena, no one dares to slack off in the slightest.

This year, the system was reformed for the first time to be a real-world duel, which not only allowed for the inclusion of death indicators.

There were also "monsters" like You Ming.

The Ancient Mech deck's map-clearing ability is practically cheating; it single-handedly accounts for the majority of the points.

He even helped Zhuge Mingren win without lifting a finger, allowing a duelist with an average test score of only 10 to climb to second place on the leaderboard.

Yes, Zhuge Mingren's test results at school were also very poor.

Similar to You Ming, he was judged to be the type who lacks dueling talent.

Just because they managed to latch onto a powerful figure, they've now become number two.

Adjectives like "pervert" and "monster" flashed through everyone's minds, but in the end, only two words remained—beast!

That's right, he's an absolute genius!

The silence was finally broken by Suzuki Ao's faint smile.

He looked at the screen, his lips slightly moving, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Teachers, is getting high exam scores really that impressive?"

No one could refute it.

Suzuki Ao was the second place winner in the Kokoro tournament back then, just one step away from reaching the top.

Recalling that incident, the expressions of everyone present became complicated.

The head of the proctoring team frowned and said impatiently, "Stop joking! What do we do now?"

There are still two hours left in the exam. Should we end it early?

He felt his head buzzing—most of the students had been captivated by Zhuge Mingren.

The rest either hid in corners and dared not come out, or had been eliminated by You Ming's mechanical monsters. How could this exam proceed?

Suzuki Ao's smile faded, and she said calmly, "Then let's end it here."

The regimental commander's face darkened: "Aren't you taking his side too far? Let him release the person, and the exam can continue."

Suzuki Ao turned to look at him, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Are you planning to give him all the resources of the entire base as a reward?"

The commander was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "You dare to extort money from me?"

"The bold get rich, the timid starve."

Suzuki Ao looked at the screen, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Don't forget, this is the Duel Tower, a location connected to other dimensions."

We have only temporarily eliminated the enemy; it doesn't mean there will never be new enemies.

There's no need to let students die in vain.

The group leader asked for the opinions of others, and seeing that no one objected, he had no choice but to pick up the walkie-talkie: "Notify all students that the exam is over!"

Reach the exit immediately; continuing the duel is prohibited, or your score will be invalidated!

Who can object?

Of the 1000 ordinary dimensional AIs in the duel arena, only a few dozen remain after Youming has killed them all.

The Ancient Mech deck's board clear ability is practically cheating, even if you take the exam for another two hours.

The students spent more time searching for AIs than actually fighting, so it was pointless.

A command rang out from all the students' duel boards: "All students, immediately converge at the exit!"

Repeat after me: Gather immediately, no lingering!

Following the instructions, You Ming glanced at the captured students and beckoned to the helicopter in the sky.

The rope on the helicopter slowly slid down, and several professional athletes carrying cameras landed with one hand.

One of them stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"

Yu Ming faced the camera, instantly switching to a fearless expression, his tone heavy: "There are still enemies remaining in the duel arena."

We face life-threatening dangers at any moment! But as a model student nurtured by Xinyuan, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch my comrades get hurt!

Even if I'm in danger myself, I will definitely get everyone out of here safely!

Uh—the soldier's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but then he swallowed it back.

He leaned closer to You Ming and lowered his voice, saying, "Little brother, I know you want to show off, but our dueling arena is monitored by professional duelists the whole time, so it's very safe."

Look down at the bracelet on your wrist. Don't you know how you got 2 points?

You even said the enemy was dangerous, but you cleared out the entire dueling arena!

Those AIs are nothing but sheep compared to your ancient mechanical chaos giants!

Fearing that You Ming might say something outrageous again, the soldier consulted with his superiors and immediately turned off the camera.

When the soldier looked up again, he was completely stunned.

The fearless, self-sacrificing expression on You Ming's face vanished without a trace.

Instead, he wore a shrewd smile and held out his hand: "By the way, security fee! 10 yuan per person."

There are over 400 people here, 5000 yuan will suffice!

Professional player: "???"

He couldn't help but curse inwardly: What the hell?

With the camera on, he's a model citizen; with the camera off, he's a model criminal?!
