This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"If you win, you will not only win the street honors I have accumulated from my previous dozens of consecutive wins, but I will also personally deliver Sugoroku Muto to the KC Group."

"However, if you lose, then KC Group will never be allowed to covet that fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon again."

Upon hearing this, Kawatoyo Sousuke raised an eyebrow.

He came here on Seto Kaiba's orders to invite people.

You Shuo, who had been waiting there for a long time, clearly wanted to stop them.

Kawatoyo Sousuke, nearing forty, couldn't help but chuckle twice, mocking the young man before him who was much younger than himself: "Hahahaha!"

"Really? That's great!"

"It saves me time too~"

"Young people these days are a bit too arrogant."

"Soon, I'll show you that in any game, a wealth of experience is an absolute advantage!"

Just then, a van pulled up on the side of the road.

The short and stocky Muto Soroku jumped out of the driver's seat and went to the trunk to get the goods.

But when he saw You Shuo at the door and a familiar guy, he froze: "Hey? You Shuo, didn't you go to school today? This guy... why does he look so familiar?"

The moment Kawatoyo Sousuke and Muto Soroku locked eyes, these two decades-long enemies instantly saw a chilling hostility in each other's gazes.

Kawatoyo Sousuke sneered coldly, "Muto Sugoroku, just now, this kid made a bet with me about dueling a monster."

"If I lose, the KC Group will no longer consider acquiring that fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

"But if this kid loses, hehe... Muto Sugoroku, then you'll have to come with me~"

Muto Sugoroku was taken aback, then said coldly, "That fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a card I would protect with my life. I will not give it to you no matter what."

"Kawatoyo Sousuke, since this matter has nothing to do with this child..."

"Let's handle this ourselves!"

"I'll fight you, you monster!"

Kawatoyo Sousuke shouted angrily, "What a joke?!"

Muto Soroku frowned.

Kawatoyo Sousuke laughed arrogantly, "Suguroku, I will defeat you, but that's after I bring you to the KC Group~"

"I'm going to beat this kid first and take away his dozens of consecutive street wins!"

"Don't worry, I will defeat both of you!"

Dozens of consecutive wins?!

Muto Soroku looked at Yu Shuo in surprise.

In the past two days, customers at the card shop have mentioned a strange player who suddenly appeared and won dozens of games in Domino City, all with ease.

original……

Is this person actually You Shuo, the classmate from the game?!

Kawatoyo Sousuke opened the car door, a smirk playing on his lips: "Stop talking nonsense, come with me~ Location: the open-air dueling arena at the nearby theme park!"

To test and promote the game, KC Group set up open-air dueling arenas in some theme parks in Domino City that were not yet open. With this large machine, Duel Monsters cards would be physically simulated, and the game between players would be just like a real wizard duel!

As an employee of the KC Group, Kawatoyo Sousuke naturally had the authority to use the open-air dueling arena, which was not yet open to the public.

You Shuo calmly got into the car.

After thinking for a moment, Muto Sugoroku followed him inside.

He wanted to see KC Group's new technology, but that was secondary. The main reason was that the bet was related to his Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and he couldn't stay out of it.

Sitting in the car with the air conditioning on, Muto Soroku looked at Yu Shuo with a somewhat serious expression.

He knew Kawatoyo Sousuke's abilities very well; this guy was also a top-tier gambler...

Even if the young You Shuo is incredibly talented, defeating him wouldn't be so easy...

"Don't worry, Grandpa Shuangliu."

Sensing Mutou Sugoroku's worry, Yu Shuo smiled confidently.

"This guy won't last three rounds."

Chapter Fifteen: The Duel Begins! A Mysterious Hidden Rule!

Inside the car, Kawatoyo Sousuke, sitting in the front, turned his head slightly and his gaze turned cold upon hearing Yu Shuo's words.

"Ah……"

Three rounds?

"Young people these days really have big mouths!"

"It won't be long before I show you the true weight of strategic maneuvering!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped in front of a theme park that was still under construction.

The car door opened, and You Shuo and Muto Soroku followed Kawatoyo Sosuke into the park.

The entire theme park is designed with the image of Duel Monsters.

Seto Kaiba has always had a dream: to open amusement parks all over the world with the theme of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

At this point, this theme park must have been the experimental precursor to that amusement park, right?

Soon, the group arrived at the battle zone in the park.

From a distance, Muto Sugoroku could see a huge metal platform that looked like a stage. It was about half the size of a basketball court, rectangular in shape, with a battle platform on each side for players to stand on and engage in card duels.

"My God, KC Group actually uses such a huge machine for gaming?!"

Muto Sugoroku was shocked.

Just then, several children ran towards the dueling platform, excitedly shouting:

"Wow!! It's true! KC Group really makes this kind of thing!"

"How do you start it? I really want to try it!"

"Heh heh, I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Kawatoyo Sousuke's face darkened, and he roared, "Hey! You bunch of brats, who let you in here! This place isn't open yet!"

The children were startled.

They definitely sneaked in, and it wasn't the first time.

You Shuo calmly stepped forward and smiled, "Perfect, a few more witnesses are good too. You shouldn't be afraid of being watched by these kids, right?"

Kawatoyo Sousuke frowned and sneered, "Ha, what a joke! The situations I've been through are beyond the imagination of a brat like you!"

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm going to show you what real skill is!"

"Come on!! Let's get ready to begin!!"

The children were thrilled when they heard they could watch the game.

Muto Soroku stood not far away, watching in shock as Yu Shuo and Kawatoyo Sousuke were lifted to the sides by the ladders of the dueling arena.

Both players took out their decks and placed them in the battle area.

After drawing their starting cards, a loud shout rang out in unison.

"Duel!!!"

[Yu Shuo, LP: 2000]

【Kawatoyo Sosuke, LP: 2000】

In this era, there is no particularly unified rule for deciding the first strike.

However, the dueling arena, designed by Seto Kaiba himself, allows for random assignment of the first move.

Ultimately, according to the duel panel, Kawatoyo Sousuke was granted the right to begin the duel.

"Hmph, looks like luck's on my side~" Kawatoyo Sousuke smirked. "Well then, let's go!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Attack signal summon - Mushroom Man!!"

"Put a card on it."

"Round over!!"

As the card was played, a dazzling array of colorful lights illuminated the central battlefield area, quickly coalescing into a gray-green mushroom monster with long arms.

Mushroom Man

[Two stars]

[Earth Attribute/Plant Tribe]

Attack/Defense: 800/600

[Description: Take advantage of damp conditions! Attack with silk threads spitting from its mushroom cap.]

Several children couldn't help but gasp in surprise at what they saw.

"Wow?!"

"The monster actually came back to life?!"

"So realistic!!"

"KC Group is amazing!"

When Muto Soroku saw the powerful 3D projection technology, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He had been playing games all his life and had never seen a gaming device of this caliber!

KC Group's 3D projection dueling arena...

This invention could very well change the entire world!

"My turn is over, it's your turn, you arrogant brat~" Kawatoyo Sousuke said with a hint of sarcasm.

You Shuo looked at the normal monster that had an attack power of only 800 but dared to attack.

In his previous life, You Shuo would only need to consider what terrible traps the opponent had set up in their backcourt.

But in this era, the power of monsters should never be underestimated!

Although the cards themselves only provide very vague descriptions of their appearance, many monsters possess special abilities that are only written in the hidden rules.

For example: Harpie has the Flying ability, which gives her an advantage against most monsters and increases her ATK and DEF; when Rock Giant changes from Defense Position to Attack Position, it can destroy one Spell/Trap Card on the field...

These are all hidden effects that weren't written in the card text, but actually appeared in the anime!

Some time ago, You Shuo won dozens of duels, not just to gain the approval of the card spirits, but also to understand this ancient, unfamiliar, and peculiar dueling environment.

"Mushroom Man..."

"A card I've never seen before..."

"What could its hidden ability be...?"

You Shuo seemed to be deep in thought.

"That guy is definitely hiding something."

"For the sake of prudence, we'll use a fire-attribute monster that is effective against plant-type monsters."

The hidden rules contain complex, spiderweb-like relationships of restraint. For example, fire element restrains dinosaurs and plants; water and wind element restrains rock; thunder element restrains birds and beasts, and so on.

If two monsters have a type advantage/disadvantage relationship during a battle, the monster that has an advantage/disadvantage relationship will gain a 30% bonus to its attack and defense.

If it's just a regular card battle, there's a chance that a "mistake" might occur, violating the hidden rules, because neither side is aware of the situation or makes a mistake.

But right now, Yu Shuo and Kawatoyo Sousuke are fighting on the dueling ring!

The Duel Arena stores all the rules information for Duel Monsters and automatically calculates the battle results.

"My turn, draw!" You Shuo waved his card and announced loudly, "Activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed, draw two cards from my deck!"

"Attack signal summon - Flame Swordsman!!"
