Chapter 122 Does your organization have any powerful figures within it? (4K)

Shen Yi appeared after Xu Ran.

Xu Ran defeated his semi-final opponent in a completely uncontested manner.

His deck has clearly become stronger. I wonder if this is related to the cards Uncle Nangong sent over yesterday.

When Shen Yi stepped into the dueling arena, his opponent Ning Wei had been waiting for him for a long time.

Ning Wei looked much older than Shen Yi.

Although he is still a young man in terms of age, his old-fashioned demeanor makes him seem like he has been beaten down by society countless times.

Compared to Ning Wei, who had remained unknown for many years, Shen Yi, who rose to prominence in just one month and made a name for himself in the academy, became much more popular.

This can be seen from the audience's reaction to the two teams that appeared on stage.

When Ning Wei appeared, the audience applauded and cheered, but it was mostly polite.

When Shen Yi appeared, the cheers from the audience became much louder, and some even waved up banners bearing the name of Nangong Ai.

It seems that Xiao Ai is gradually getting better and is starting to accumulate fans in the Starry World.

However, compared to her number of fans in the Elf World, her number of fans in the Starry World is significantly less.

But then I thought about it again, and these are fans that Shen Yi has accumulated before he has even played in the official elimination rounds, which is enough to show Xiao Ai's potential.

If the audience here knew that Xiao Ai had once helped Vera blow up a God Card, most of them would probably become Xiao Ai fans immediately.

After the referee robot examined both players' decks, it signaled that they could begin their duel.

"You must be Shen Yi?" Ning Wei looked at Shen Yi, a somewhat pale face revealing a less-than-attractive smile.

It's an honor to duel with you; please give me your guidance.

Shen Yi looked at Ning Wei and nodded politely, saying, "Please give me your guidance."

After saying that, he showed his ID card.

The moment their identity cards lit up, both shouted almost simultaneously, "Duel, begin!"

The moment the duel arena opened, cheers erupted from the stands.

Just then, Vera's voice rang in Shen Yi's ear: "Something's not right."

What's wrong?

Shen Yi looked at Ning Wei opposite him and immediately asked.

Someone intercepted our live stream using very subtle methods, seemingly by directly accessing the backend API.

Shen Yi remained expressionless: [Will it have any impact?]

"I don't know," Vera replied truthfully.

Shen Yi was still wondering when Ning Wei spoke up: "I heard you have a Soul Card called Ilovena?"

This sentence has been censored.

Even the lip movements have been altered.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi abruptly looked up at Ning Wei.

Did he do it?

What are they planning to do?

Ning Wei looked up at Shen Yi meaningfully and said with a smile, "I've been to that elven world; it used to be a beautiful place."

"Back then?" Shen Yi didn't show any sign of realizing the other person had tampered with things backstage, but instead asked with feigned suspicion, "Wasn't that a desert a long time ago?"

"Yes, that's why I want to thank you," Ning Wei said with emotion. "You truly brought hope to that world."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi frowned immediately: "You went to the Elf World after that?"

Judging from Ning Wei's words, he had obviously seen what the Elf World looked like now.

But the entrance to the Elf World is currently under my control, and Ilovena almost only moves around in the Elf World. When did the other party ever go in there?

"Didn't you transport a lot of equipment from the Starry World into there?" Ning Wei said meaningfully. "You were indeed quite vigilant, specifically eliminating the background programs, but unfortunately your technical skills were a little lacking."

Shen Yi was about to speak when Ning Wei had already pulled out the card from his hand.

"Believe me, we mean you no harm. And don't make such exaggerated expressions; editing facial expressions for a live stream is a real skill." Ning Wei drew a card from his hand. "Let's continue the duel, we can talk while we fight."

Having said that, he declared, "I will strike first."

Then he played a card from his hand, Special Summoning a [Hacker] minion from his deck.

"If I activate the effect of [Digital Hacker Anos], and he is Summoned or Special Summoned, I can view my opponent's hand."

After saying that, Ning Wei checked Shen Yi's hand.

As he looked, he continued, "We've seen how much you've helped the Golem World, and we thank you for your assistance to Miss Nia."

At this point, Shen Yi had basically confirmed Ning Wei's identity.

The Knights of Hanon?

"You came to find me because of my message, right?" Shen Yi asked directly.

Since the other party already knows that he helped Nia, they must also know that he was the one who asked Nia to leave her message.

"Yes. To be honest, your actions were a bit reckless." Ning Wei continued, "Although the Gu family is currently in chaos, once they discover Nia's message, your internet address will also be discovered."

"Although you cleverly used a virtual address, a true expert hacker can still glean some information about you from it. But don't worry, we've already taken care of it for you."

Upon hearing Ning Wei's words, Shen Yi understood that the hackers in this world might indeed be much stronger than Vera's.

It seems I need to be more careful when taking similar actions in the future.

There are still quite a few skilled hackers like this in the world.

We shouldn't place too much faith in Vera's authority.

"Isn't it a bit too reckless of you to approach me in this kind of setting?" Shen Yi said casually.

Ning Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, our conversation is absolutely safe now. We've already modified the relevant information flow."

He was probably referring to the modification of the live stream's dialogue and visuals.

"People will always believe what they have seen with their own eyes, and open and fair contact in such a duel is the safest thing to do."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes: "You can even modify reality?"

Shen Yi thought it was really impressive to modify the content of the live stream, but technically it was understandable.

But what about the audience at the scene?

They can't possibly change what they see, can they?

"Who says you can't?" Ning Wei grinned.

In that instant, he exuded unprecedented confidence, and even his demeanor changed.

"The dueling arena is actually opaque; what the audience outside sees is merely the images that the robots guiding the duelists record and project onto the outside."

"7

Shen Yi was genuinely unaware of this.

He had always believed that the dueling arena was transparent.

"Essentially, the space we inhabit is independent of this world," Ning Wei explained. "That's why duelists can avoid disasters in other worlds by initiating duels."

"Is that why?" Shen Yi murmured to himself.

He had previously complained about similar cases he saw online, wondering why duelists in this world would engage in duels even when faced with disasters in another world—were they planning to have some fun before they died? Turns out, the reason was this.

"Yes," Ning Wei exclaimed.

Then he activated the effect of the spell card in his hand and examined Shen Yi's minion deck.

"Speaking of which—did you just activate some incredible effect?" Shen Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Really?" Ning Wei blinked, then checked Shen Yi's spell deck.

Although Shen Yi already knew the effects of Ning Wei's cards, he still complained, "Are you spying on other people's privacy?"

No wonder your attendant was locked up.

However, after learning that Ning Wei was a member of the Knights of Hanno, Shen Yi began to wonder if the hackers in his deck were really imprisoned criminals.

Could these hacker followers also be members of the Knights of Hanno?

"Peeping into privacy is something hackers can't avoid," Ning Wei said, shrugging.

"What did he change our conversation to?" Shen Yi asked Vera with some curiosity.

"They were exchanging compliments." Vera replied simply, "But a lot of those lines sounded familiar."

After a long while, Vera's cursing voice came through: "Holy crap! Is this AI-generated dialogue?!"

[I was wondering why this conversation was so formulaic!]

Vera grumbled and seemed very unhappy.

Because she felt that this kind of conversation was what Shen Yi saw as 00C.

How could my Ah Yi possibly be so well-behaved and speak so politely!

Um—Shen Yi couldn't really comment on Vera's ideas, but her use of AI certainly fit the worldview.

Shen Yi looked at Ning Wei and asked, "So, what brings you here? To test me? To offer help? Or just to say hello? Aren't you afraid I'll report you after I get out?"

"We don't think you're that kind of person."

"You collected my data?!" Shen Yi looked at Ning Wei.

Ning Wei did not deny it: "We only collected publicly available data and analyzed your behavioral logic. This is a necessary security audit; otherwise, we wouldn't have contacted you."

Shen Yi understood, but he didn't like this kind of thing.

It's like he can understand that big data is meant to better serve him, but he doesn't like big data collecting his information.

"So, you're planning to help me?" Shen Yi didn't mention that he had already found the Ilutros to help him decipher the mystery, but asked without changing his expression.

Ning Wei grinned and said, "That depends on the outcome of this duel."

"Hmm?" Shen Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ning Wei said, "The path of resistance is not easy, especially in this world. We do not want to see our comrades die in the duels of others. Therefore, if your strength is insufficient to sustain the resistance, please suspend this dangerous behavior and avoid putting yourself in danger."

The dangerous behavior he mentioned was probably Shen Yi's act of secretly helping Nia.

"I never agreed to be your comrade."

"Anyone with the will to resist is our partner," Ning Wei said earnestly. "We won't force you to join us. This duel is just a test. If you demonstrate sufficient strength, you can contact us directly if you need our help in the future."

"That's interesting." Shen Yi smiled when he heard Ning Wei's words.

In this world, do even resistance organizations need to be tested on their dueling skills?

Although Shen Yi disliked the Knights of Hanoi's data collection and analysis of his behavior, he found their investigative attitude quite interesting.

Shen Yi had originally thought that with the help of the Ilutros, he would no longer need to seek the assistance of the Knights of Hanno, but after hearing Ning Wei's words, he changed his mind.

After all, he intended to win this duel anyway, and it had nothing to do with whether or not it was a test by the Knights of Hanoi.

Secondly, in this AI era, having the help of a powerful hacker organization that you can contact at any time for assistance is not necessarily a bad thing.

Shen Yi felt that he would definitely need to ask them for help in the future.

In that case, it would be a good thing to establish a good relationship in advance, especially since the way to do so is through his favorite kind of duel.

"Then let me see what kind of strength you have!" Shen Yi looked at Ning Wei and said seriously.

Ning Wei laughed along, "You're overestimating me. Actually, I think passing the test should be very easy for you."

He was indeed a member of the Knights, but his identity within the academy was also genuine.

Therefore, during this period, he witnessed Shen Yi's rapid rise and had some understanding of Shen Yi's strength.

However, having some knowledge is one thing.

It's impossible to get Ning Wei to admit defeat outright.

Even though he knew Shen Yi was much stronger than him, he still wanted to use his duel to actually measure Shen Yi's strength.

After saying that, he activated the effect of the card in his hand again, Special Summoning a hacker follower from his deck.

This time, he had a total of four hacker minions on the field, and he knew exactly what Shen Yi's hand and two decks were.

The information a hacker can view in a deck includes the card order.

This means that Ning Wei knows what card Shen Yi will draw next and what follower he will usually summon.

My turn is over.

After covering two cards, Ning Wei ended his turn immediately.

Shen Yi glanced at Ning Wei's space, then fixed his gaze on Ning Wei's expression.

Unfortunately, Ning Wei, as expected of an undercover member of the organization within the academy, possessed top-notch facial expression control.

Shen Yi ultimately failed to glean any opinion from the other person's face regarding his next move in the game.

If Shen Yi could discern the opponent's perspective, the duel would be much simpler. After all, if the summoned minions were strong, the opponent might show signs of difficulty.

In this way, you won't need to use a Special Summon to change the card order.

Unfortunately, Ning Wei was a seasoned pro at this, and didn't give Shen Yi any chance to exploit the situation.

Since we can't figure it out, let's proceed according to our original plan.

Thinking this, Shen Yi placed his hand on the spell deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

After glancing at the card drawn, Shen Yi suddenly asked, "By the way, your organization is called the Knights of Hanno, right?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Shen Yi looked at Ning Wei and asked curiously, "Does your organization have any cards with supreme power?"

"???"
