"Master, you really have taken the master's words to heart... I am so happy that you were born like the master!"
"...No, isn't your wording a bit wrong?" Hearing the maid's words, You Ling couldn't help but frowned and looked strange.
"Hmm? Are you okay? Our Manzhangmu family is not a serious family to begin with." Hearing You Ling's words, the maid waved her hand indifferently.
"It's okay, don't worry, Master, don't worry about the agent. We can take care of it. We've already prepared everything for you before you come back from vacation!"
"This duel agent wants to sign contracts with specialized professional duelists. What are your requirements? I've already reserved several candidates for you. They're all the hottest stars the group has recently promoted: a beautiful young duel star, a cool and charming professional player, and a long-established, stylish older sister... Which one do you like? Take your pick, it doesn't matter!"
⑹虾IX无(>虾《ling丝】⊙Wu Hearing this, You Ling couldn't help but show a frightened expression and took two steps back.
——No, why is my Manjome family a little different from what I remembered... Why does it feel a little off?
——Look at this guy who bullies men and women and has a bad family tradition. My beginning... could it be that I am actually a villain?
*******
At the same time, in the office of the president of the Wanzhangmu Group, on the rooftop of the building.
The current president of the Manzhangmu Group, who is also You Ling's biological father in this life, is now frowning as he answers the phone that just rang in the office.
This call naturally came from You Ling, from the maid who had just heard the good news that "the young master was finally willing to mend his ways"... Such great news had to be told to the young master's father, Master Wanzhangmu, first.
"Hmm...are you serious? That kid finally decided to go home and stop pursuing his Duel King dream?"
"——It really isn't this kid, is he trying to play some tricks on me again?"
Just as the maid described and as You Ling remembered, You Ling's father in this life was indeed a middle-aged man who did not want You Ling to work too hard and simply wanted him to become a rich second-generation who bullied men and women.
So, after hearing what the maid said, that her child was finally willing to mend his ways and stop developing into a card king, the first emotion that arose in the president's heart was naturally... suspicion.
——In the background setting of the Card God game, in this world, the reason why the Manjomu Group has developed so well and can become the second leading enterprise in the duel-related industry... the fundamental reason is because the current president of the group, You Ling's father, has a sharp vision.
A few years ago, another company, Kaiba Group, split up, and the world-famous incident of a loving father and a filial son occurred. Under the leadership of President Manjome, the entire group chose to extend an olive branch to the child involved in the incident, Seto Kaiba, and expressed their support.
The whole world knows the result. In this incident, Seto Kaiba, as a son, severely defeated his father, Kaiba Okasaburo, and in the following time, he showed superhuman skills and abilities, leading the Kaiba Group to the top step by step - and as the Manjome Group had lined up early and chosen the right side, it was natural for them to follow behind and enjoy the good life, and become bigger and bigger.
Although as the leader of the Manjome Group, You Ling's father was well aware of the power of Kaiba Seto, and he himself also had a new respect for the young man...but President Manjome had never understood President Kaiba's passion for playing cards or dueling.
In recent years, Seto Kaiba has become even more crazy: not only have all the resources of the entire Kaiba Group been completely tilted towards duels, he has also focused on researching all kinds of strange black technologies. There are even strange rumors circulating in the group that the president of Kaiba is going to develop black technologies and go to the underworld to play cards with people.
Although he roughly knew that this ridiculous rumor of "going to the underworld" was false, the incomprehensible side of Seto Kaiba as a card player still left a very deep impression on President Manjome - from his point of view, card players like Kaiba seemed to have a serious illness.
Therefore, with the example of Seto Kaiba, who was extremely abnormal as a duelist, it was difficult for President Manjome not to stop his own child from embarking on that strange path of a duelist.
"Okay, I understand... You guys should take care of You Ling first. I'll be back in two days."
So, even though he had received the good news that his child was going to "turn over a new leaf and stop being a duelist", when he hung up the phone, the brows of the president of Manjomu were still furrowed.
After all, his children had done this kind of thing before, pretending to have changed their ways and turned over a new leaf, but in reality they were just stalling for time or trying to get back to learning how to play cards.
He still couldn't understand why the word "playing cards" had such a terrifying attraction that could attract the outstanding president and his own children... Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and live off his parents, being a rich second-generation bully with no manners and no dreams?
For this, his father really took great pains.
Thinking of this, Father You Ling recalled the information just reported by the maid at home, pondered for a while, and finally picked up the phone again and dialed again.
"Hello, put me through to the department responsible for Duelist operations..."
"I want to check on a duelist named Marufuji Ryo—I want all the information on this man within three minutes!"
Volume 1: Chapter 16 Breaking through the boundaries!
"Within three minutes, I want all the information about this man named Marufuji Ryo!"
Although what You Ling's father said sounded as funny as something out of a domineering CEO novel, in fact, as the chairman of the Wanzhangmu Group who has the final say - he is indeed a domineering CEO.
So, just as he ordered, within a few minutes, all of Marufuji Ryo's information was placed on his desk in piles.
What greatly surprised Chairman Manzhangmu was that the results of this investigation showed that his son's new friend was actually engaged in the dueling industry and was a formal professional duelist.
Moreover, just looking at the experience of this young man named Marufuji Ryo is quite intriguing - he graduated from the Duel Academy with excellent grades at a young age. He thought he could achieve great things and have a bright future in dueling, but he didn't expect to be hit by a hammer by reality in an instant, and almost lost even his pants.
The story of this young man is so heartbreaking that it makes anyone who hears it cry. He is obviously a top fighter in the Duel Academy, but he can only end up like this after his debut. Chairman Manjomu even speculated that it might be this frustrated duelist named Marufuji Ryo who stimulated his own son and completely shattered You Ling's dream from a practical perspective.
Chairman Manjōmu’s reaction to this...was, of course, a nod of satisfaction.
——That's right, isn't this Marufuji Ryo the perfect example... Young man, why would you want to be a professional duelist? Playing cards is a dead end!
In fact, in the Wanzhangmu family, it is not only his son Youling who is addicted to the unhealthy habit of playing cards. In fact, in the current Wanzhangmu family, this trend has already become somewhat uncontrollable.
——For example, You Ling’s father remembered that there was a boy named Wanzhangmuzhun who was You Ling’s cousin in his relative’s family. It seemed that he also went to some Duel Academy and embarked on the road of playing cards... The boy named Zhun didn’t seem to be very smart to begin with, and after he became addicted to playing cards, he looked even more funny just by watching him. His own child must not become like that in the future!
Thinking of this, Chairman Wanzhangmu couldn't help but feel a little relieved... Fortunately, according to what the maid at home said, You Ling seemed to have finally realized the problem and was about to turn over a new leaf and inherit the family business obediently.
So, Wanda's chairman immediately picked up the phone again, ready to instruct his subordinates to find the professional player information that had been prepared for You Ling that matched her identity as a duel agent.
As a father who prides himself on having a simple family tradition and being kind and filial to his children, Chairman Wanzhangmu even has some understanding of his children's XP. He knows that You Ling seems to be particularly interested in the type of person with "white hair, flat chest, cold personality, a look of disgust, and a look of looking at trash all the time."
Although I don't quite understand the habits of this next generation of teenagers, and don't understand what the hell it is to like this cold-hearted, disgusted-looking kid...but my child is finally willing to take the housework seriously, so I have to use the best resources to avoid destroying his enthusiasm.
"Let me see which female professional players the Manjomu Group has recently signed that fit the descriptions of white hair, flat chest, and aloof personality..."
"Hmm? This one is pretty good. It's been going strong lately and the results are pretty good—"
Looking at the professional player whom he had chosen for You Ling, who was both handsome and prestigious, and who was practically helping him to improve his performance, Chairman Wanzhangmu nodded with satisfaction.
——That’s right, that’s right... Who would play cards if they were serious?
——Using evil money to control the dueling world, hiding behind the scenes to select favorite duelists, and watching them fight to the death, this is in line with the crooked family tradition of our Manzhangmu family!
-------------------
As for You Ling, he certainly didn't know what had happened to his biological father in this life.
After all, he just mentioned it casually and didn't take it too seriously. The daily lottery duel agent system has been arranged by his family and is suspected to have won a five-star corner.
All I can say is that as a You Ling who came from an ordinary family in his previous life and lived an ordinary life, he had no idea what his identity as a young master in this life meant.
However, it seemed that even if he knew, it would not have any impact on You Ling - after all, his entire attention was now focused on Marufuji Ryo, his only partner in the system queue.
The day after officially recognizing Liang and incorporating him into the film and electronics family, You Ling still played cards with Liang for the entire day...or rather, spent the entire day gaining experience.
Liang can be said to be very hardworking. Originally, You Ling thought that he had never been a black-hearted capitalist, and he was somewhat nervous about training Liang, the Pallu.
——But unexpectedly, Paluliang himself felt that it was not possible. As a newly-joined junior brother, he had to show some enthusiasm. So in the past two days, he was either chasing after wandering spirits to duel, asking questions, or sitting on the ground pondering over the deck. His efforts were touching.
I believe that Marufuji Ryo, who is already very talented, has completely understood the value of Shadow Electronic Flow and the importance of various advanced duel concepts proposed by You Ling... Since it is useful in duels, what else can I say?
In one word - learn shit!
Today is the third day since Youling duelled with Marufuji Ryo and incorporated him into the Shadow Electronic Style.
Today, they are finally going to go out instead of just staying in You Ling's big house all their lives and indulging in duel training.
For example, now, in the evening, You Ling stood at the door of his mansion, looking at the figure of Marufuji Ryo in the distance, gradually waving towards him.
Perhaps it was because he had been addicted to duels for several days, and at the same time had been baptized by You Ling's shadow electronic duel philosophy for several days - earlier today, a yellow exclamation mark representing "new content" appeared in the character development column of the system's Marufuji Ryo character column.
After clicking on the exclamation mark, You Ling saw a text description: "The character's experience has reached the standard, and you can break through the limit after completing the breakthrough task."
Also included is a long-term quest called "Marufuji Ryo's Struggle" which is like a game pass and is listed under the character name of Marufuji Ryo.
Obviously, this is the entire development route for the character [Marufuji Ryo] in this world.
And in this brightly lit, exclamation-marked boundary-breaking mission, the character description was clearly written: [The time has come. Please follow the plot line to the underground duel arena and assist Marufuji Ryo in defeating his destined opponent and repairing his life trajectory.]
[Quest Boss: Underground Duelist: MadDock. Inukai]
-----------------------
-----------------------
①A reader asked me in private message, so I will explain here that since it is a new book now, the update frequency is twice a day on weekdays, and it will be published around 12 o'clock in the evening.
But there will be one more update on the weekend.
This is the first chapter of today, and the next one is being coded.
② and PY: "Poker players don't have partners? Who said that?!"
Volume 1: Chapter 17 You, go and kill him!
[Underground Duelist: MadDock.Inukai]
Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar name, You Ling took a moment to recall it before he remembered it.
This Inukai seems to be the muscular naked male duelist in the original anime who fought against Marufuji Ryo for the first time after Marufuji fell into the underground dueling arena and completely activated Marufuji Ryo's struggling spirit.
Although Hell Caesar Ryo in the original route should have disappeared temporarily under the flapping of the butterfly wings of You Ling, the time traveler - but probably because the plot of this underground duel was too classic and had a huge impact on Marufuji Ryo's life, it was still defaulted by the system as a key stop in his life.
In addition, the next stop on the character Marufuji Ryo's pass shows "Help Marufuji Ryo defeat his nemesis Ed, let him complete his gorgeous revenge, and completely regain his dueling spirit."
Seeing this, it was clear what You Ling was going to do next - that was to follow the task given by the system, help Liang regain his confidence, revive his masculinity, return to the professional arena after training, and severely beat the heroic player named Ed.
But that is a story for later, and what he has to do now is also very simple - that is to let the current Marufuji Ryo dominate the underground duel world in the form of not being the Caesar of Hell, just like in the original work.
So, today, You Ling dragged Maru Tengliang around the city and finally arrived at a dark alley.
Although Marufuji Ryo has gained immense trust in You Ling after getting to know him for so long, he still couldn't help but frown when he saw the gloomy environment around him.
"——Senior Brother You Ling, where is this?"
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" After hearing Marufuji Liang's question, You Ling finally realized that he seemed to have just taken people out today. Because Liang didn't ask, he also forgot to say where he was going.
Thinking that he needed to explain a bit, You Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to a closed iron gate in the dark alley ahead, saying, "Look...that place is our destination."
"I asked my family for help, and after much effort, I finally found out... That's the largest and most famous underground duel venue in our city."
When Aliang heard the words "underground duel" from You Ling, his expression suddenly became strange.
Although You Ling had mentioned a few days ago that he might visit the underground dueling world...but the fact that he was brought to the door without any prior explanation before coming still made him a little shocked.
——As mentioned before, in this world where dueling holds a high status, engaging in despicable and vulgar underground duels is no different from selling oneself as a prostitute for serious duelists.
Although, after spending the past few days together, he had already developed a considerable degree of trust in this senior brother from the Shadow Electronics School...but now being suddenly pulled here by his trusted senior brother, for Maru Fuji Ryo, it was as terrifying as being walked on the street and suddenly being grabbed by the shoulder by an acquaintance and told, "Elbow, come with me into the house."
But after spending the past two days together, based on his understanding of You Ling, this senior brother might say something strange occasionally, but he would never do anything meaningless.
There is an old Chinese saying, "Since you're already here, you're already here"... So, under You Ling's leadership, Liang, like an innocent little boy who was half-heartedly led into the red-light district by Huangmao, knocked on the iron door of the underground duel arena in a daze.
The moment they walked into the underground duel arena, an inexplicable feeling emerged in Marufuji Ryo's heart... making him look around in confusion.
Then, led by the security personnel who had made an appointment with You Ling in advance, the two walked into the iron gate and passed through a deep passage - they came to a place called the Underground Duel Arena, which is notorious in this world and a place that serious duelists would never come to.
Feeling the somewhat stuffy and humid air here, You Ling looked around curiously... The first thing that caught You Ling's eye was, of course, the huge "octagonal cage" located in the center of the room. On the black iron net, if you look closely, you can find some dark red liquid. Obviously, that is the place where underground duelists fight for life and death.
With the "octagonal cage" as the center, hundreds of guys wearing dark masks, brightly colored dresses, who looked rich or noble at first glance, sat around it with strange smiles on their faces.
In the dark side of the dueling world, in the underground where material desires run rampant, there are fat men holding wine glasses and enjoying delicious food, as well as gorgeous women wearing extremely revealing clothes and leaning ambiguously on the bosses... and, in the very center of the venue, the duel arena that makes it almost impossible to look away.
This can be said to cover the three major desires of human beings: the desire for sleep, the desire for arousal, and the desire to duel... This is the most superficial description of this card-playing world.
In the duel arena, a shirtless, muscular duelist with a duel disk in his hand and a sinister smile on his face was staring fiercely at his opponent.
Even under the dim lights of the underground venue, You Ling could see that the muscular man and his opponent were wearing props that looked like sex toys on their necks and arms... Those were probably the pain amplifiers that were popular in underground duels, devices that could greatly increase the pain suffered by the duelists in the duel.
Obviously, the muscular naked man showing off his might in the center of the duel arena is their target this time, an underground duelist named Inukai.
You Ling narrowed his eyes, looking at the system light screen that only he could see, and aimed it at Brother Inukai - the mark listed as the mission target also appeared clearly in his field of vision.
At the same time, the duel in the cage seemed to have come to an end - under the amplification of the object called the pain amplifier, the duelist who was Inukai's opponent let out a painful wail as his health points dropped to zero.
“Hmm, uhhh, ahhhhhh—”
Then, as he wailed, he also completely heated up the atmosphere present - the audience all laughed heartily, admired him endlessly, and applauded continuously, and the wailing was gradually drowned out by their cheerful voices.
Seeing this scene, Marufuji Ryo, who was beside You Ling, naturally snorted in disgust: "Humph, this is simply... an insult to the duel!"
As a duelist who had nearly taken this wrong path, Liang still felt a bit of fear when he recalled it now, and his tone couldn't help but become a little more serious: "No wonder Kaiba Corporation wants to block and ban these underground dueling venues. This kind of dueling that only psychopaths would enjoy, even if it completely disappeared, will be an indelible stain on our entire dueling world!"
"Indeed, this kind of insulting duel is really disgusting." After hearing Marufuji Ryo's words, You Ling couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Then, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the muscular naked man in the arena, and said, "Especially the guy who enjoys this kind of duel, he's simply not worthy of being called a duelist! Liang, looking at this guy, are you angry?"
"...Of course." Marufuji Ryo nodded without hesitation, his expression cold.
"Okay, that's right." Hearing this answer, You Ling nodded with satisfaction. Then he retracted his hand and patted Maru Teng Liang's shoulder, "Let's do this, Liang."
"——You, go and kill him!"
Marufuji Ryo was shocked: "...Ah, me?"
Volume 1: Chapter 18 We will win!
Upon hearing You Ling's words, Marufuji Ryo's first reaction was, of course, to stand there in a daze.
He blinked in confusion, looked at You Ling beside him, and then looked at the muscular man standing in the cage on the stage showing off his power.
