Yu-Gi-Oh, this sister card is worth a lick

"Nani! No! I give up...let me go..."

"According to the effect of this card, the ATK of all Machine-Type monsters on your field is doubled!!"

The azure Iron Wolf radiated golden light all over its body. Under the force of the removal of restrictions, its steam exhaust vents even emitted thick, hot smoke!

The golden wolf head at the front opened its fangs and bit the opponent into pieces!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, the dark curtain of the duel was shattered.

Chapter 22 On the eve of the college entrance examination!

"Hahaha! You've been fooled, kid! I know your weaknesses very well!"

"Call me daddy and I'll let you live!"

"Fenrir Wolf? Haha? He finally showed up? But so what? Your monsters can't stand up to the monsters on my field at all."

"What? Why are you still able to exclude my field from the inside? The f*cking information is fake!"

"How can there be such an outrageous monster card!"

"Don't! Little brother...we need to talk it over!"

"What the hell is this? What? 2000 HP?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

There was only a loud roar, and the horrific explosion directly scattered the opponent's ashes. It was the kind of explosion that was done on a real physical level, without even requiring cremation.

"The duel is over!"

"The winner is Zhao You!"

"Calculating the rating, ding! Congratulations on getting an A rating and 1000 duel points."

"The spoils are being handed over..."

The dark space shattered again, and Zhao You returned to the familiar riverside again. Feeling the cool breeze, he picked up the card deck that had turned into bricks on the ground and stuffed it into his pocket.

"There are still many good people in this world." Zhao You looked into the distance at the deep and dark river surface.

"Next year, the fish and shrimp here will surely grow very fat..."

That’s right, after experiencing dark duels again and again, Zhao You went from being thrilled at the beginning to being calm, and even felt like laughing.

As expected, only those who can't make it would rely on dark duels to bully the weak.

Because of the special rules in this world, teenagers under the age of 18 do not have enough mental strength to fully use Dark Duel, so there will be schools and special people to supervise and educate them. However, once they are over 18 years old and obtain an official title, when they use Dark Duel, their profession will be changed according to the result of the Dark Duel.

For example, if you use Dark Duel to rob someone of their money, you are a robber; if you rape them, you are a rapist; if you kill someone, you are a murderer.

This kind of profession is just like the titles in the game. It cannot be hidden in front of people with professions such as [Police]. If caught, you will be imprisoned according to the crime you committed. The imprisonment here is not based on the criminal laws of various countries, but a unified rule of the world.

Only after serving enough time in prison or making significant contributions can one be released from prison and regain a neutral title, and all of this is determined by the rules.

If the highest executive officer that civilians come into contact with is the Minister of Justice, then above the Minister of Justice are the rules.

By the way, if you kill your opponent in a dark duel, not only will the person who initiated the dark duel die, but his deck will also [die], even the elves will die with it. The cards in the dead deck cannot be used, and the only use is to disassemble them in the Traffic Tower, and according to their value, they can be exchanged for a considerable amount of duel points.

This is also an additional source of income for many green professionals or a means of enhancing themselves.

This is just like Zhao You before, who had no money to drop out of school and go out to work. Without strength and resources, he had to go to work honestly. Although he did not have much freedom due to the limitations of his profession, he had all the necessary benefits. For example, if he became a policeman, he would have pre-groups of [Royal] and [Public Security Police Team], firefighters would have [Rescue] and so on. They could exchange for more cards step by step based on their contributions.

Although it is a bit stereotyped, it is stable and comfortable. If the upper and lower limits of duelists are extremely unstable, then they are the most stable middle layer that ensures the stability of the people.

After all, in this world, only a few people are destined to be brave enough to forge ahead. After graduating from college, many people realize that their abilities have stopped there or they are not suitable for taking risks. Those who have some duelist skills will be absorbed by various professional guilds, while those who do not have duelist skills can choose neutral guilds, [Farmers], [Merchants], [Mechanics], [Breeders], etc.

Ultimately, the price of doing bad things in this world is too high.

Moreover, their strength is just so-so. Since there is no stable channel for obtaining cards, they can only rob cards if they want to strengthen themselves. However, ordinary people don’t have good cards, so most of the robbed cards are exchanged for living expenses. Not only do they have to hide from place to place every day, but they also have to risk their lives to grab cards.

Apart from bullying students who haven't graduated yet, they are basically guys who are not presentable.

No one feels sorry for me even if I die.

Perhaps the only meaning of their existence is the bounty hanging over their heads and the card decks that can be disassembled.

"Not bad, probably another 10 duel points earned."

Based on the information left in the card deck, the police can easily find out who the other party is. Professional card hunters like this are all on the police station's list, and the reward price usually ranges from 50,000 to 80,000. In addition to the disassembled card deck, there are still about 100,000 duel points.

These days, after closing his business every day, Zhao You would sneak along the small path to the riverside alone in order to catch more fish before the college entrance examination.

You know what... There are quite a few idiots like this.

I don’t know which kind-hearted person distributed it, but if Zhao You knew about it, he would have to thank his whole family.

At this moment, Yu Fei, who was still practicing hard to draw cards in a hospital, would probably cry out if he knew that the dark duelists whom he had instigated with great efforts had become part of Zhao You's strengthening.

"It's a pity that there's not enough time. Otherwise, I could save up enough money to buy a giant."

There is Taobao in this world, but cards like Leo Ku’s are basically priced sky-high, and must be reserved several years in advance.

When Zhao You bought the giant rat before, he discovered that in this world, the price of monsters is usually much higher, and the simpler and more brutal the attack power, the higher the attack power, the more expensive the card.

But some cards that look useless at first glance are sold very cheaply.

With the mentality of winning a lot to make a day of fun, Zhao You spent a little money to collect a lot of small things of unknown meaning.

Zhao You even found a card called Torturing Giant. The price of this card has dropped from its historical highest price of 300 million to the current 80. It has been on the market for three years and has not been sold yet.

All I can say is that in this world, unless it is a series card, that is, a field card, the price is not high.

The special environment has caused people in this world to have a bit of [card averaging addiction], and they focus on cost-effectiveness. But there is no problem. In Zhao You's world, the information of all cards is fully public, and players can freely play the way they like among the tens of thousands of cards. But this world is not the same. The information gap can determine the outcome of a battle. Who would tell others casually?

This leads to everyone hiding it. If you don’t tell me, I certainly won’t tell you.

Being out of touch with the news is one thing, but the difficulty of collecting decks is another.

Some card decks with fields have red fragments as their key core cards.

Oh no, then it's all over. It's like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. The best case scenario is that no one gets it, and the worst case scenario is that it's enjoyed by one person alone.

This is still good, because because of not knowing the illustrated guide, some duelists don’t even know that the deck in their hand actually has such a core card.

This directly leads to the fact that some powerful card decks that Zhao You knows may not even be able to reach the second tier here.

Therefore, they do not have so many combinations to choose from, and can only try and error step by step, just like they don’t know that the Kusaka Nuwei tribe is also a field card. There are too many unknown worlds in the Tower of Babel. Only when you have a set of field cards that belong to you can you slowly strengthen it according to this deck. This leads to some professional players spending their entire lives perfecting a deck.

Zhao You went home to take a shower and go to bed. He never left his fatigue until the next day. He slept until the afternoon of the next day when he was woken up by a phone call from the new class teacher.

As for Wan Jinbao... he's probably still worried about the duel ceremony at the Education Bureau.

But this has nothing to do with Zhao You anymore.

"The college entrance examination is tomorrow. There is a mobilization meeting in school today. Do you want to attend?" Teacher Li's soothing voice came from the other end of the phone. Although I haven't seen him many times, Teacher Li has a very good reputation in the school.

If Wan Jinbao is the struggling maggot in the rice that makes people feel sick, then Teacher Li is the most beautiful flower blooming in the bush.

Because he is not much older than the students, it is easy for them to get along well with each other. He was originally the head teacher of Class 2, but at the critical moment of the college entrance examination, Wan Jinbao was dismissed from his position and could only temporarily consolidate the responsibility of his two classes.

But this has nothing to do with Zhao You, because Zhao You has never been to school since the duel with He Yufei.

"No, I plan to rest at home today."

On the other end of the phone, Teacher Li's smile was somewhat bitter: "The college entrance examination is tomorrow. Who knows, everyone might go their separate ways. It's good to keep a memory."

"No need to bother. I haven't left any good impressions on these three years of high school. Perhaps college is the beginning of my new life. If there is a chance in the future, let's meet at Tongtian College."

"You are really confident...Okay, okay, if you don't want to come, don't come, but remember to gather at the Central Square for the college entrance examination tomorrow. Don't oversleep!" Teacher Li warned with a smile.

"Yes."

"I wish you good luck in playing cards."

Chapter 23 This place will become a duel city!

"Jingle Bell!"

The alarm clock rang on the bedside table on time.

The next second, a teenager in white sportswear leaned over and pressed the switch on the alarm clock, holding a broom in his hand.

He cleaned the entire room spotlessly. After putting the broom back into the storage room, the boy stood in the living room and looked at his home.

Everything started from here and everything ended here. From this moment on, all traces of him had been buried by his own hands, and the road of duels in the future would be a journey that belonged only to him.

He scooped up the clean water from the sink with both hands, and the cool water mixed with strands of sweat flowed down the sides of the boy's cheeks.

His face was a little childish, but already had the beginnings of a handsome outline.

Her natural black curls are fluffy but not messy, her bright eyes are like the brightest stars in the night sky, and her thin yet plump figure is tall and slender.

After packing everything up, he closed the door and locked it.

The boy took two steps back. As far as he could remember, he only needed to stand on the stone pier along the street to see the whole picture of the house.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling onto his body and giving the young man a golden glow.

The young man standing on the stone pier took a last, somewhat nostalgic look, attached the duel disk to his left arm, and took a firm step towards the central square.

This is both a farewell and the beginning of a new journey for the young man.

By the time Zhao You reached the central square, a large number of candidates had already gathered there. Some from nearby cities had even arrived a day in advance.

Everyone looked serious. For most teenagers, the college entrance examination was an examination that would determine their lives.

As time passed, more and more young people gathered in the square.

At 10 a.m. Longguo time, a historic bell rang in the center.

Two energetic and lively girlish voices echoed in the center of the square!

"Into the VRAINS!"

In an instant, the entire square, no, the entire Tianhai City was covered by a layer of green sky!

Large virtual screens are shining in various places in Dragon Country!

"Welcome everyone to the live Gemini channel!"

"I am your best friend, big star and host - Christine Keeler!" A red cartoon character full of hip-hop style jumped onto the screen, holding a maraca in his hand and with a festive expression.

"..."

The sudden appearance of the twins in the live broadcast left everyone stunned, just like watching India's National Day parade when a tire suddenly rolled into the audience. Besides being surprised, it also felt a little unreal and outrageous.

"No, today is a cooperation channel with the official Dragon Country. Don't bring the atmosphere to a ditch right from the start." Soon a blue man dragged a shark pillow and walked in from the other end of the screen, then waved at everyone.

"I'm Lila."

"Today, we have been invited by the Dragon Country officials to serve as the hosts and commentators for the live broadcast of the college entrance examination."

Lila's suited man dragged the little shark in his hand and threw it onto the screen. In an instant, a ray of light began to radiate outward from the virtual screen in the city center to the hands of every candidate present.

A glittering golden five-pointed star fell into his hand.

"This year's college entrance exam will continue the tradition of lasting a full three days! The chips being distributed to you now are the star chips!"

"Everyone starts with just one star chip! After the college entrance exam begins, candidates can stake their chips and freely duel!"

"Right, right, right!" Kisskiller pushed Lila away with her butt just in time. "It's worth mentioning that once the star chips reach zero, it's over, sorry."

"In other words—half of the candidates will be eliminated from the very beginning of this college entrance examination."

"Ah... the world of duelists is truly cruel."

"Also, duelists taking the college entrance exam must collect at least ten star chips. Scores below ten will be considered a failure. And here are the additional rules..."

Kisskiller and Lila both grinned wickedly.

"This year's college entrance examination does not limit the number of chips that candidates can plunder. The candidate who obtains the most chips will be named the top scorer in the city and will be directly admitted to Tongtian College and receive the top scorer reward!"

"The Tongtian Academy results will be announced in two days!"

"Each student has only three chances per day to refuse a duel. There are no truce zones or truce times. Should we hide and avoid being discovered? Or should we fight openly and squarely?"

"The choice is yours!" Lila brought over a small microphone, and then the screen of the entire virtual world began to flash.

"Duelists who always believe in their own decks and never turn their backs on the enemy, no matter where they are!"

"This place will become a duel city!"
