Chapter 108 A Duel with Cards as the Bet (4K)

At the top of the Tianhai Group building, Gu Tianhai looked at the man in front of him.

Having just returned from out of town, he already knew that Gu Yu and Kashu had disappeared together.

The loss of the God Card is a matter of life and death for any major family.

This means that in future duels for resources, your family will not have any duelists capable of defeating the other chosen ones.

Gu Tianhai immediately tried to suppress the news upon learning of it.

Unfortunately, Gu Yu's popularity at Yuezhou Academy quickly alerted other families to the unusual situation.

The probing of the Gu family also began.

In just one day, Gu Tianhai had already received several duel invitations from other families.

They produced some disputed clauses left over from previous land grabbing and demanded that the disputes be resolved through a duel.

They call it resolving a dispute, but it's actually outright robbery.

This is also a common practice when various groups in Star World compete for resources.

Back in the newly developed Soul Card world, the Gu family's duelists fought in mines one by one, eventually gaining control of the entire Soul Card world.

"So? How about we consider a collaboration?"

The man opposite Gu Tianhai said with a smile, "Before your Gu family is completely devoured."

"Heh, the Gu family isn't so easily bullied—"

"Come on, don't you think I don't know your situation?" the man grinned. "You know, we're in the same boat!"

After a pause, the man chuckled and said, "However, our situation is a little better than your Gu family's now, at least we still have our God Cards."

Gu Tianhai's face immediately darkened.

A year ago, during the Qizhou incident, almost all of the Gu family's elite duelists were wiped out. If they hadn't managed to rescue Kashu in the end, the Gu family would have been dismantled and divided up like the other families in Qizhou.

As long as the God Card remains, when facing challenges from duelists from other major families, he can at least forcibly assemble a powerful deck from his family's deck and then take the lead in the duel.

Although the final duelist will have their sanity devoured by the God Card and become useless, at least the family's interests will not be lost.

But now that Kashu is gone, relying solely on the cards in the Gu family's deck, the ordinary duelists in the family may not be a match for the elite duelists of other families.

"So, consider my plan." Seeing Gu Tianhai's gloomy face, the man said with a smile, "In this way, our Pei family gets resources and the deck, and the Gu family gets the God Card. It's a win-win situation."

"The Ji family isn't so easy to deal with." Gu Tianhai calmed down and stared into the man's eyes. "Moreover, the Ji family's God Card has very specific requirements for the chosen one. Don't you know that?"

"I know, that's why we've been prepared for this for a long time." The man revealed a deep smile. "It's just a girl of the Ji family bloodline, we can just have one later, right? Having children isn't a troublesome thing these days."

Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Tianhai's expression changed slightly: "How did you get the Ji family's genes?!"

"Among so many people, there are always a few who can't control their lower bodies, especially in the Soul Card world."

Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Tianhai suddenly sneered, "It seems you've been planning this for a while now—"

"If you need it, I can transfer the corresponding gene bank to you."

"That's for later. Right now, who do you plan to have hold that card?"

"That guy has so many daughters, just brainwash one of them. As long as you agree to my conditions, I'll take care of it."

"————Okay." Gu Tianhai looked at the man's face and agreed, "But I want to see results first."

"Don't worry—it will be here tonight," the man laughed. "If nothing unexpected happens, the carrier of the card will be delivered to you soon."

*******

Upon realizing that the stage was using the duelist's minion cards to force the duelist to duel, Shen Yi's expression immediately darkened.

Even in his past life, Shen Yi never liked others taking advantage of his credit cards, even if those cards were mass-produced industrial products.

Moreover, the follower cards in this world are all real, existing entities.

Shen Yi found this behavior absolutely intolerable.

Moreover, one of the people forced into the duel might be one of their own friends.

"Ah Yi————"

Vera looked at Shen Yi with some concern as his face grew increasingly gloomy.

"Will there be a lucky draw for the audience members later?" Shen Yi suddenly asked.

Vera nodded: "I think they say there is such a thing."

"Then let me be chosen." Shen Yi had calmed down by now.

His anger did not subside, but the duelist had to remain calm.

"Sigh—even if you say that—" Vera doesn't have the ability to guarantee that Shen Yi will be chosen.

"I'm glad you agreed." Shen Yi looked at Vera. "I think you'll bless me."

Vera blinked, then nodded solemnly: "Yes, you'll definitely be chosen."

As they were talking, the fourth duelist stepped onto the stage.

Although he was still wearing a mask, Shen Yi had already confirmed his identity the moment he appeared.

He Kan.

He Kan did not appear to be under control; his steps were very firm.

At this moment, the girl on the stage does not belong to He Kan's follower card.

But judging from the way this stage has been before, the next card will probably be Chihiro, and it's highly likely to be her. Judging from the state of the duelists before, the cards that were pressed onto the stage were all their most treasured follower cards.

"By the way, I just found out some new information."

Vera whispered to Shen Yi, "It's about the Dream Dance Troupe."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, gesturing for Vera to continue.

"It seems the Pei family has financial backing behind the Dream Dance Troupe," Vera said.

Although Shen Yi had already anticipated this, he was still visibly stunned when he heard the news.

"Although the shareholding structure is very complex," Vera said, "when I trace it back, the Pei family is definitely the largest shareholder behind the Qian family."

As Vera spoke, she told Shen Yi a lot of information about the Pei family.

Before being destroyed by Mireille, the Pei family was once one of the most powerful families in the Starry World. Although they did not have a Heavenly King level duelist, the fact that they had nine level eight duelists was quite impressive.

However, after Mireille destroyed Qizhou, the Pei family, which suffered heavy losses, quickly declined.

Shen Yi quickly sorted through this information.

If Shen Yi's judgment is correct, this kind of starlight theater should be one of the ways for the Lord of Stars to quickly accumulate power.

The Qian family's Dream Dance Troupe was clearly established with the support of the Pei family for this project.

In order to restore the power of the Lord of Stars as soon as possible, the Pei family launched the project that they had supported years ago.

The duelists of the Dream Dance Troupe thus became the fuel to awaken the Lord of the Stars.

As things stand, the girls of the Dream Dance Troupe and their duelists are unaware of this.

They were forcibly dragged into this game.

This can also be seen from the intelligence Vera gathered.

"And there's more," Vera continued.

She tapped Shen Yi's ID card with her finger, transferring what she had found to Shen Yi's ID card.

"I also found some information about Qizhou."

"I think the things mentioned here are related to Ilovena's mother."

Information on Qizhou?

Shen Yi clicked on the information with a hint of curiosity.

Soul Card Heart?

"What is this?" He thought it was information related to the Lord of the Stars, but it turned out to be a project called Soul Card Heart.

The document states that the Qizhou Otherworld Research Institute has found a unified characteristic in the Soul Cards called the Soul Card Heart.

The document concludes by mentioning their plan to attempt to extract the Soul Card Heart in their next experiment.

Extract the Soul Card Heart?

"What about the rest of the data?" Shen Yi asked. "Did they successfully extract it? What's the use of the Soul Card Heart after it's extracted?"

If the Soul Card Heart truly has some special use and can be extracted artificially, then it would explain what Pei Mingyuan said.

When Ilovena's mother disappeared, the elven world had already lost most of its value; her only remaining value was her Soul Card identity.

Given the nature of this world, if the Soul Card Heart can truly be extracted and has special uses, then these powerful entities would forcibly extract the Soul Card Heart from useless Soul Cards.

Vera shook her head: "That's all."

"That's all?" Shen Yi was slightly taken aback. "Was it destroyed?"

"It's less about destruction and more about death."

"Dead? What do you mean?"

"The relevant knowledge has been killed," Vera said. "These memories will never be brought up again, and even the people involved will never remember them."

"Forehead----"

"Okay, to put it simply, this should be Mirail's doing."

Shen Yi was taken aback: "Mirel?"

Is this the reason why Mireille clashed with those people from the Starry World in Qizhou?

"However, how did you find this information?" Shen Yi asked curiously.

Weren't we investigating Dream Dance Crew before?

"Because this project also belongs to the Pei family, we traced it back to them." Vera scratched her head.

'

"So—this is useless?"

"That's not entirely true." Shen Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "So, after this knowledge is killed, will it be rediscovered?"

"Miriel doesn't seem to have used her full power; she only killed the surface-level knowledge," Vera analyzed. "I think this is because this part of the knowledge was affected when she activated her power; she essentially killed certain people's related memories."

"If only superficial knowledge is killed, then the rules and laws still exist, and as long as research continues, this knowledge will be reinvented."

"Just killing the surface knowledge—you mean, your sister can even kill the underlying rules?" Shen Yi was taken aback.

Vera tilted her head.

Shen Yi's lips twitched slightly.

Good heavens.

Is Mireille's death doll really that abstract?

"But Mirael usually doesn't do that," Vera said seriously, seemingly worried that Shen Yi would misunderstand Mirael. "Only when a world is completely beyond saving and has been confirmed to be destroyed will Mirael kill its mathematical rules to prevent them from overflowing and polluting other worlds."

They were created to manage the diverse world, not to destroy it.

Shen Yi didn't really think that way. Seeing Vera's nervous explanation, he felt helpless. He looked up, rubbed Vera's head, and smiled, "I won't misunderstand. Mireille is a good girl. I could tell at a glance."

People who like Vera stockings might be perverts, but they are definitely not bad people.

At least Shen Yi strongly agrees with this.

Vera glanced at Shen Yi.

She always felt that Shen Yi seemed to be using some strange standard to measure Mirail.

However, as long as Ah Yi doesn't misunderstand Mireille, that's fine.

Miss Doll thought so optimistically.

The new duelist was indeed He Kan.

Shen Yi saw He Kan's classic idol followers.

The girls' faces were filled with fear and terror, clearly indicating that they had experienced something backstage.

He Kan's dueling style became extremely fierce, leaving no room for his opponent.

He was eager to end the duel.

Shen Yi seemed to have read He Kan's mind.

Moreover, just as Shen Yi had predicted.

Chihiro did not appear on He Kan's field.

Chihiro's absence made He Kan's performance less fluid than in previous duels, and the intensity of the final battle was noticeably weaker.

This allowed the opponent to exploit the vulnerability.

Because the girl on stage was his follower, his opponent had no intention of missing these loopholes and would launch a fierce attack once he seized them.

This led to a stalemate in the duel, with the opponent even believing that the minion cards obtained from the previous duel gave them an advantage.

Perhaps He Kan wanted to win back Qianxun's heart in the next match, because he made a miraculous move at the very moment he was about to lose.

As the dreamlike light swept across the entire duel arena, He Kan completed his final counterattack.

The surrounding audience immediately stood up and cheered.

However, Shen Yi was not happy.

The defeated duelist collapsed to the ground, his masked face looking at the girl in the center of the stage.

He Kan, despite winning the duel, showed no joy whatsoever.

He just stood there, his chest heaving, lost in thought.

"Excellent! A new hero has appeared!"

"Next, we will select one lucky audience member from the audience!"

Pei Minghong took the microphone and walked onto the stage.

A slight smile played on his lips as his gaze swept across the entire audience.

What?

At this time?

Upon hearing the other party's words, Shen Yi's expression changed slightly.

He instinctively looked at Vera, wanting her to stop blessing him.

Chihiro has not yet appeared.

This means she will be the "stake" in the next duel.

However, at that moment, Vera shook her head and said to Shen Yi, "This is not a lottery."

"Your invitation has been assigned."

In other words, as long as Shen Yi enters here with this invitation, regardless of how he draws it—

He will ultimately be that lucky audience member.
