Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

"I stayed there for a while, but, how should I put it, I had a disagreement with some people, so I just quit."

When Lao Lei talked about this, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and even his tone was a little emotional, but soon his expression returned to normal:

"This is your first time playing offline, right? I'd like to explain the offline rules to you. It's not as simple as online. Also, you little brother named Judai over there, stop staring at the card pile and come over here!"

Chapter 5: Ten generations striving to acquire new knowledge

"So, you shouldn't say anything that might mislead your opponent during a duel."

After listening to Lao Lei's explanation of the precautions for offline duels, Shidai, who was standing by the workbench, scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't expect that his unintentional words about the duel situation would vaguely touch upon some mistakes that should not be made offline in this world.

"That's right, especially in official matches. Don't use words like "you feel like you're going to lose the duel" to mislead your opponent." Lao Lei nodded with relief and continued to explain:

"Because offline matches don't have the same systematic surrender mechanism as online ones, duelists are required to manually admit defeat. However, there are always some who like to be clever and exploit this loophole. In the past, a player, when completely at a disadvantage, used deceptive rhetoric to trick their opponent into thinking they had surrendered. They then began to sort through their deck, but just as they were halfway through, the player, who was at a disadvantage, suddenly called the referee to declare that they had not surrendered."

Lao Lei brought out some embarrassing facts about offline card games at this time, and Hua Benxue, who was listening on the other side, was also a little dumbfounded:

"Ah, there's such a thing? Then how should the referee make the decision?"

"According to the rules in the referee's book, the player who cleared the duel table early will be directly judged as losing because they cannot recover from the game." Lao Lei, sitting behind the workbench, calmly stated this fact that made the two of them feel a little uncomfortable:

"After all, the referee still has to follow the rules. Although that person was a bit despicable, he did follow the procedures and was effective. Of course, the player who subsequently advanced was also blacklisted by the card store."

"Even so, it's still too unfair to the player who was declared the loser."

After hearing what Lao Lei said, Judai was still a little indignant. In his impression, dueling was always an upright and happy game, so how could such despicable means be used?

"So, when you play cards, especially in competitions, try not to use words that could lead to misunderstandings. And especially at the end, confirm with your opponent whether you admit defeat."

When talking about this, Lao Lei secretly glanced at Hua Benxue:

"Of course, if it's just offline entertainment, it doesn't matter if both parties are familiar with each other. After all, compared to official competitions, entertainment doesn't involve real profits."

After adding a sentence, Lao Lei drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued: "

Besides these, there are a lot of other things to pay attention to when playing offline. It's rare to have two new players in the store at the same time, so I'll go through them all. For example, in official matches, all players' decks need to be on one side. You can't have some cards facing up and others facing down. The simplest cheat is to put the monster cards' backs facing up and the trap cards' backs facing down. Because some decks have very few magic traps, this allows players to roughly guess the next card before the draw...

Lao Lei spoke of some offline knowledge that the two of them had never known before, leaving the two people who were listening stunned.

Is the gap between online and offline really that big? There are too many tricks.

Offline competitions in this world are so complicated. Duels are not only about decks, but also about calculating people's hearts. Tenth generation shock.jpg

.....

Less than half an hour later, a sudden bell rang, almost making Judai think that the get out of class was over.

"It's time, it's time! Players registered for the points race are ready to take their seats! The first round is about to begin!!!"

A slightly heroic voice came from the small broadcast above the head. It was a reminder from another staff member.

"You've actually been talking for so long this time." Even Lao Lei was stunned when he heard the voice coming from the small radio. Although they were two newcomers, he usually wouldn't give them so many instructions:

"Alright, we've covered most of the offline precautions. Hana Benxue, you can go ahead and participate in the competition. As for Judai, I was supposed to have your newbie training today, but today is the points competition day, and the store staff will be busy soon, so I'll have to give you special training next time you come to the store."

Lao Lei showed a hint of apology when he said this. He turned around and rummaged through the box behind the workbench for a while. He placed a piece of A4 paper printed in color on the table.

"By the way, here's a tutorial for beginners. It contains a collection of Yu-Gi-Oh newbie knowledge and recommended general cards. You can take a look at it later."

Judai had just taken the paper that Lao Lei had taken out, but before he could say anything, Hana Benxue at the side volunteered:

"No problem, Boss Lei. Let Judai sit next to me and watch me use the Passenger Bird deck. This deck is simple and powerful, perfect for new players!"

"You can give it a try, but there's really no need to learn Traveling Bird offline. In online matches, Traveling Bird is indeed a recommended deck for new players. Unfortunately, in offline matches, Traveling Bird's search and chaining require players to manually perform, which is extremely discouraging for newcomers. On the contrary, the hero decks just used in the tenth generation are much better."

After hearing what Hua Benxue said, Lao Lei shook his head and expressed his opposition. Of course, there were some other things he didn't say directly, such as the hero deck in Judai's hand was a valuable red shard, and it would be a pity to give it up.

"Well, I'd rather use a hero deck."

Judai on the side also expressed his opinion. After all, he had always had a dream of being a hero since he was a child, and in the previous game, Hana Benxue had been frantically searching the deck, which really gave him a headache.

"Okay, okay, then you can just watch from the side first."

After listening to the two people's objections, whether there was any, or not, Hua Benxue pouted quietly. The courage she had finally mustered was refuted by these two guys. These two guys were too ungentlemanly. She should first take a look at the seating arrangement on the notice board.

After patting Judai's shoulder and signaling his new partner to follow, the two walked to the points board on the other side.

"Let me see, my seat for the first offline ranking tournament is... table seven. Great, seven is my lucky number."

After seeing the seating arrangement for the match, Hana Benxue's mood improved significantly, and she even had a dimple on her face:

"You can sit next to me and watch me play the game. Although the offline version of the game is a bit complicated, it's not as scary as Boss Lei said. You'll understand after you watch me play it a few times."

Until this moment, as a veteran Traveling Bird player, Hana Benxue still couldn't forget about getting the tenth generation to join Traveling Bird.

Migrating Bird, the most suitable deck for new players to get started!

Those who don't play migratory birds are in trouble.

Thinking of the senior who tricked her into joining the team of Miyabi, Hana Benxue has decided to give her all in the next competition and use Miyabi's powerful strength to attract Judai to throw himself into her arms.

Unfortunately, in the first game, Hana Benxue had a tough fight.

The player sitting opposite him was using the El Dorado deck, which was a less popular branch of the deck, the Undead El Dorado.

Chapter 6: Ultra Summoning? What a strange summoning method!

"Three dead, three dead, everyone hurry up."

Judai, who was watching from the side, saw Hana Benxue and her opponent playing a tense game that lasted for forty minutes. From the beginning when no one was interested to the later people who came to watch and pointed and talked, Judai, who was sitting aside, felt that he had learned a lot.

From the perspective of Judai, the game between the two sides was very different from that in Tongye City at the beginning. The game adopted a best-of-three system. The initial health value of both sides was 8000, and the size of the dice was used to determine the order. Even though it was the first contact, Judai vaguely felt that this game rule seemed more reasonable.

But the part that benefited him the most was what happened later. After getting the first strike, Hana Benxue first used the filter card to retrieve one of the operating points of the Traveling Bird [The Traveling Bird with the Wind and the Mysterious Map]. Then, with a series of familiar operations from the Tenth Generation, he successfully summoned [The Traveling Bird with the Wind*Emperor Enterprise] and a [Barrier Statue of the Fierce Wind].

At the beginning, Hana Benyuki seemed very confident, and she even explained to Judai the effects of the front and back fields. The Wind Barrier Statue can block the opponent's special moves. Combined with the [Wind Traveling Bird and Dream Town] retrieved from the back field, it can achieve the purpose of summoning [Giant Bird of the Valley of Dawn] during the opponent's turn. And with the activation of the Giant Bird, the second effect of Dream Town in the graveyard will also be triggered. Excluding Dream Town can allow the opponent's summoned monster to be directly covered from the inside, avoiding the weakness of the Barrier Statue's low attack power and easy to be destroyed by battle.

After listening to Hana Benxue's introduction about the migratory bird comb, Judai felt overwhelmed. This pure conspiracy was a bit too much for him to handle based on just the text introduction. If he were a hero, how would he solve this crisis?

Before he could think of this, the opponent's turn began. After a simple card draw, the main phase quickly unfolded. A card that was quite unfamiliar to the Tenth Generation was placed in the monster area - [Bansi of the Corpse World], followed by a declaration before entering the battle phase.

Hana Benyuki on the side immediately opened the [Wind-flying Bird and Dream Town] that was blocking her from the backcourt. Just when Judai thought that the situation would go in the direction that Hana Benyuki had said, he didn't notice that her expression no longer looked relaxed as before the game started.

As expected, with the activation of Dream Town, the opponent directly announced the activation of Bansi's effect.

Banshee of the Corpse World: Banish this card from the field or the Graveyard to activate a Field Spell [Undead World] from your hand or deck. This effect can also be activated during a dialogue turn.

A [Undead World] was taken from the deck to the field area, and with the addition of this card, Hana Benyuki's next steps became much more difficult. After summoning two low-level migratory bird monsters and searching for [DD Crow] and [Giant Bird of the Valley of Mist], it came to an abrupt end.

Why doesn't she continue to perform? Didn't she say that she wanted her superiors to summon the giant bird?

Judai, who was standing by, was looking at Hana Benxue who was not taking any action, and felt very confused. This was completely different from the script.

"Did you come here with her?"

The opposing player was in a good mood at the moment. Seeing Judai's confused expression, he was quite happy to explain:

"According to the effect of [Undead World], while this card is on the field, all monsters on the field and in the Graveyard become Undead."

"So what? Just change it. It seems that there is no requirement for the monster race for the advanced summoning." Judai thought about it and felt that the effect was no big deal.

"This card also has a second effect. It cannot be Super Summoned unless both players have Undead-Type monsters. The Super Summoned monster in my hand is a Bird-Type monster, which doesn't meet this summoning condition."

Hana Benxue in the game also explained aloud, and the combined words of the two made Judai understand at once that this card could perfectly counter the Migrant Bird deck?

While Judai was still thinking, the game was still going on quickly.

The first is a card called [Golden Lord - El Dorado Lich], which directly destroys the barrier statue on the field by sending a trap card and itself to the graveyard.

Next, the opponent covered another card and used the effect of Golden Lord again, sending it to the graveyard, wanting to add the Golden Lord that had just entered the graveyard to the hand and summon it directly in defense position. However, Hana Benxue on the field did not choose to sit and wait for death. She retrieved the [DD Crow] that she had just used and used it directly, making the first Golden Lord say goodbye to the game completely.

Faced with this situation, the opponent seemed to have anticipated it and calmly activated the second card: [Eternal Life Elixir of the Golden Kingdom of Blackened Awakening], retrieved the second Golden Lord from the deck, and after covering another card, declared the end of the round.

But for this world, the end stage does not mean the end. At this moment, the opponent activated the card effects in the graveyard without stopping. By removing the two cards sent to the graveyard at the beginning, two new cards were successively hidden in the field.

The final scene also changed to: [Lord of Gold - Lich of the Golden Kingdom] in the front field, and [Undead World] and three face-down cards in the back field.

Seeing this, Judai also discovered that the effects of the cards in this world seemed to have multiple functions, and each one seemed to be an amazing all-rounder.

The game is still going on, and it is Hana Benyuki's turn again. To Judai's surprise, although it is Hana Benyuki's turn, the opponent activates the first card.

A trap card called [Red Blood-stained El Dorado Elixir of Immortality] was activated directly during the preparation phase, and the monster card [Necromancer King - Evil Eye] was retrieved from the deck and placed on the field in defense position.

The attack power of up to 2800 points was revealed in front of Judai, making him feel that the high-attack monsters here appeared so easily that they seemed to be free of charge.

Faced with the severe situation, Hana Benxue, who was participating in an offline competition for the first time, became calm and started with a summoning method that was difficult for Judai to understand.

Two low-level Migrant Bird monsters that were summoned in the previous round were stacked together, and a monster that looked different was special summoned to the field from the extra deck by Hana Benxue.

According to Hana Benxue, this method of summoning monsters of the same level is called Xyz Summoning. Upon seeing this unique summoning method, Judai specifically searched for this item in the new player guide provided by Boss Lei:

Xyz Summoning: Also known as XYZ Summoning or Multidimensional Summoning, it is a special way to summon monsters.

The summoning conditions usually require that two or more monsters of the same star level be gathered on the field as Xyz materials for stacking summons. For example, No. 39 Hope King - Hope requires two four-star monsters as stacking materials. At the same time, the monsters used as materials will not be sent to the graveyard, but will be directly stacked under the Xyz Summoned monster card. They will produce a role similar to a pointer in the next game and will be sent directly to the graveyard when removed.

For Czar Monsters, they have no levels, and the number of stars represents their class.

Some Gyz Monsters can be Gyz Summoned if certain conditions are met. For example, a Cyber ​​Dragon Deck's [Cyber ​​Dragon * Infinity] can be directly overlapped on top of [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] for Gyz Summoning. This method is called Gyz Transform. In addition, some Gyz Monsters can also be upgraded or downgraded using "Upgrade Magic" or "Downgrade Magic" magic cards.

What a strange summoning method. You can actually summon extra monsters directly without the help of the [Fusion] magic card. Although there are many restrictions, it feels really convenient.

Comparing it with Hana Benxue's on-the-spot operation on the field, Judai immediately understood this summoning technique, and even noticed that there were several other summoning methods listed afterwards. However, the unpredictable situation on the field made him temporarily give up the idea of ​​continuing reading.

Chapter 7: The Extraordinary Journey of the Migratory Bird!

After successfully over-summoning [Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingales], Hana Benxue directly declared the start of the battle phase.

The first was the attack from Teiichi, which was aimed directly at the Death King with a defense of 800 points. It was not until the review that Judai learned from Hana Benxue that the opponent did not choose to Special Summon in Attack Position because the Teiichi between the fields had a permanent effect that invalidated the effects of Special Summoned Monsters in Attack Position. This was also the reason why the opponent would rather lose points of difference and had to put it in Defense Position.

At this moment, the opponent, after a little thought, directly opened the second trap card retrieved - [Conqueror of the Golden Country]. A card that looks like a perpetual trap, but is actually a front-field monster, also appears in the front field in defense position. At the same time, according to its additional effect, when there is [Lord of Gold - El Dorado Lich] on the field, it chooses the Xyz monster [Lyrical Thrush - Gathering Nightingale] to destroy it directly.

Faced with the decision of the player from the Golden Country, Judai on the side looked at it in confusion. He gave up on the Imperial Enterprise with higher destructive attack power, and instead gave priority to eliminating the Gathering Nightingale with only 400 attack power. This didn't seem right no matter how you looked at it.

However, Hana Benxue, who was participating in the duel between the venues, didn't think so. Instead, she frowned and began to carefully calculate:

"If Gathering Nightingales's effect is activated and one Xyz Material is removed, then the Necromancer's effect will be activated, destroying the [Windbird*Emperor] between the fields. Even if Gathering Nightingales survives the attack and successfully Xyz-transforms into the Thunderbolt during Main Phase 2, the Thunderbolt, as an Undead with only three Materials, will still be subject to the Necromancer's restrictions, and its full field clearing effect will be directly negated..."

Words of thought came out slowly from Hana Benyuki's mouth. Judai, who half understood what she was saying, also realized that the opponent's first destruction was actually a trap tactic, and this tactic was actually noticed by Hana Benyuki. It seems that the duelists in this world are all so powerful!

Judai, standing by, was feeling the shock brought by the duelist from this world, and after pondering for a long time, Hana Benxue finally chose to deal with it with the same approach:

"I won't activate the effect of gathering Nightingales. Meanwhile, the Imperial Enterprises between the fields will continue to attack, prioritizing destroying the [Death King - Evil Eye] on the field."

After a fierce battle, both sides lost a monster in the battle phase, and the battle entered the second main phase.

The [Wind-Traveling Bird and the Mysterious Map] between the fields was activated again, and the bald eagle boarded the duel field. Then another summoning method that the tenth generation had never seen appeared again. The Imperial Enterprise and the bald eagle between the fields entered the graveyard and were banished respectively. A monster named [Dream Collapse-Phoenix] suddenly appeared on the field.

1900 points is not too high, but this peculiar way of appearance and the cards with no defense power also make the tenth generation feel novel. This method called link summoning has too few restrictions on the appearance of monsters!

The [Giant Bird of the Valley of Dawn] retrieved in the last round was thrown directly into the graveyard by Hana Benxue as a cost, but the magic trap that was destroyed was not the magic card [Undead World] between the fields, but an unknown covered card on the field. When the card name was turned over, a card named [A Thousand Differentiations] caught the eyes of the three people. Judai had done his homework on the effect of this card.

Be careful: As long as this card exists in the Magic Trap Zone, both players can only have one face-up monster of the same Type on their fields. If both players have two or more monsters of the same Type on their fields, they must be sent to the Graveyard until there is only one monster of the same Type.

The effect of the trap card flashed through Judai's mind, making him realize that this card seemed to... also be an anti-Migrating Bird Noble Phantasm?

But will this card really not block the opponent's own deck?

Judai was wondering why his opponent would put such a card in his deck that was not good for him. Meanwhile, Hana Benxue finally used her free move right for this round and took down a one-star monster, but this time it had nothing to do with Migrant Bird.

"I'm targeting [Dream Collapse - Phoenix] and [Effect Veiler] between the fields. Due to the effect of [Undead World], I actually have two Undead monsters on the field. Now I use these two monsters as Link Materials to Special Summon [Vampire Charmer]."

After Hana Benxue finished speaking, a new link monster appeared again.

"Activate its effect. When Charmer successfully Link Summoned, you can target [Evil Eyes - Necromancer] in your Graveyard and Special Summon it to my field. Then, activate Vampire Charmer's effect, Tribute it, and target [Gold Lord - Eldlich] on your field, gaining control of it until the End Phase."

The series of operations made the tenth generation dazzled. Hana Benxue, who was originally a monster of the Migrant Bird family, made the monsters on the field suddenly change after just a few summons. If you didn't know, you would think that it was an undead monster.

"It's not over yet. I'm targeting the [Golden Lord - Eldlich] and [Death Lord - Evil Eye] on the field and Xyz Summoning - [Vampire - Vampire Sheridan]!"

Hana Benxue was obviously excited after achieving this. Even Judai could hear the excitement in her words. After all, although this way of using the opponent's monsters for Xyz Summoning was very unethical, it did make people feel secretly happy.

"Activate Sheridan's effect, remove the excess material [Necromancer - Evil Eye], and target the [Undead World] between the sites, sending it to the graveyard."

This is the second time that Judai has heard this statement. In the previous round, when the opponent activated the effect of the Golden Lord, he also used the effect of sending the monster to the graveyard, but Judai at that time simply thought that it was just the world's term for destroying the card. However, in this round, Hana Benxue created several monsters in a row, but the instructions for using [Dream Collapse - Phoenix] were destruction, and the description at this moment was sending the monster to the graveyard. Is there any difference between the two?

With confusion in his heart, Judai continued to watch this wonderful duel. Hana Benxue, who successfully dismantled the opponent's front and back fields without leaving a single one, finally chose to end the round, but the following game was still not so smooth.
