Chapter 6: Infiltrating the Ghouls Stronghold
Yu Miao's expression was slightly dazed as he drew this 1900 ATK "vanilla" Gemini Elf from his deck.
This thing possesses a Spirit Heart?
And a "Mysterious Card"?
In Yu Miao's storage, a Monster Card with its artwork sealed by "iron chains" lay quietly.
Observing from the artwork, the outer part was purple – this was a Fusion Monster Card!!
"I'll research it later." Yu Miao went to collect his spoils of war.
The deck of the youth, Abing!!
"No, please don't take it!" The youth Abing regretted it; he shouldn't have looked down on this "Yugi Muto".
He cried and begged, saying: "I'll give you my girlfriend, just spare my deck!!"
If a girlfriend is gone, he can find another one.
If his deck is gone, he might as well be killed!
Deck > Girlfriend √
"Tch, I hate people like you who don't honor their losses." Yu Miao found it troublesome. At times like this... a Shadow Game seemed very necessary.
At least in a Shadow Game, there's no room for Welch's!
Yu Miao was adamant. He first gave Abing a set of military boxing moves, then somewhat clumsily unstrapped the other's deck.
"Yugi Muto, you are not human!" Ah Bing rolled on the ground. To become the Duel King, he had even refused his landlady's advances!
"Sorry, actually, I'm not Yugi Muto." Yu Miao gleefully browsed through Abing's deck, feeling this world was just too wonderful.
What?
You're not Yugi Muto?
Damn, then why the hell did I duel you!
Abing suddenly became so agitated he felt faint. Pointing at Yu Miao's retreating back, he sputtered furiously: "Are you even human?"
After saying that, he directly passed out!
Yu Miao first took the generic card "Mystical Space Typhoon".
The invincible "Axe Raider" was also taken; this card was always better than a flimsy Mystical Sheep #1!
As for "Sword of Deep-Seated", Yu Miao had reservations about this card.
In the early Yu-Gi-Oh! DM era, +500 ATK was a significant boost.
After all, Orichalcos also gave just +500 ATK.
The problem was the effect of "Sword of Deep-Seated" returning it to the top of the deck was too detrimental.
"Good grief, Abing, you even have the once-banned card 'Snatch Steal'?"
Slurp~
Yu Miao subconsciously licked his lips; this Snatch Steal was worth more than 10 Mystical Space Typhoons.
[Snatch Steal: Take control of 1 opponent's monster that this card is equipped to. During each of their Standby Phases, they gain 1000 Life Points.]
Take it!
Must add it to the deck.
Yu Miao showed a satisfied smile. Although Abing's results weren't ideal, his deck was very ideal indeed!
It made perfect sense for youth Ah Bing to have "Snatch Steal"!
As he flipped through, he also unearthed a Trap Card.
The famous, "Ring of Destruction"!
This card was a symbol of peace, like a knotted pistol, either being destroyed or on its way to being destroyed.
Ring of Destruction was just too kind in the anime.
Some things you can't not believe. Yu Miao stopped himself from putting "Ring of Destruction" into his own deck.
"Wait, since this Trap Card is 100% guaranteed to draw aggro, if I Set it on the field, wouldn't it actually protect my important core cards?"
Sss~
Yu Miao sucked in a cold breath.
So this was the true purpose of Ring of Destruction!
Pseudo Trap, is that you?
Ring of Destruction: Hehe, yes, it's me.
"In the hands of a true duelist, even Ring of Destruction can shine." Yu Miao ultimately stuffed the Ring into his deck.
His originally pathetically poor starter deck was gradually taking on a normal scale.
Level-up rewards before character level 5 were all "Gem" rewards.
At level 5, players could obtain a golden card pack.
Card packs were divided into White, Blue, Golden, and Rainbow.
Presumably, each different colored pack represented its value.
The higher the value, the better the chance for awesome cards!
A somewhat dated arcade game hall.
At this moment.
Beside an old machine, Yu Miao , wearing a blue jacket, was staring at a game on the screen.
Brave Saves the Princess!
A very old, reskinned arcade game.
But...
Why was the protagonist a chibi Seto Kaiba, and the princess the starfish-haired Yugi Muto?
It was a miracle this arcade hadn't been smashed to pieces by Seto Kaiba.
"I never thought this arcade would be a secret stronghold for the Ghouls." If not for the quest instructions, Yu Miao would never have found it.
Q: How to quickly join a faction?
A: Act flamboyantly, so the people behind the scenes notice you quickly!
Yu Miao took out a pre-prepared basketball, performed a series of bewitching dance steps on the spot, and sang lyrics that could be considered "ear poison".
In just one minute!
The hidden panel door in the arcade opened.
A man dressed in black appeared.
He wore an extremely tacky black mourning garment – this was the Rare Hunter corporate culture.
They might as well have "Rare Hunter" tattooed on their foreheads.
Who knows what Marik was thinking...
Qiang's face was flushed dark red with anger, clearly dumbfounded by Yousei's bewitching singing and basketball skills.
Initially, he mistook Yu Miaofor the currently high-profile "Yugi Muto"!
For the safety of this Rare Hunters stronghold, Qiang was very cautious and planned not to come out.
Who would have thought...
This guy actually took out a basketball... and started performing!!
Unbearable.
Qiang truly couldn't bear it.
He also confirmed one thing: this guy definitely wasn't Yugi Muto.
Dammit, if you're not Yugi Muto, how dare you act so arrogantly here?
"What do you want?" Superman Qiang took off his black hood. As a rare card hunter for the Ghouls, could he suffer this insult?
"Heh, I want to join the Rare Hunter!" Yu Miao stated his purpose.
In recent years, the great enterprise known as the Ghouls had gained considerable international notoriety.
– This man knowing about the Ghouls wasn't strange, but how did he find this stronghold?
"Duel me. If you win, you'll listen to me." Yu Miao activated his Duel Disk and issued a challenge.
"Hmph, naive kid, you have no idea what true power is." Qiang agreed.
He had to agree anyway; the stronghold was already exposed.
If he didn't deal with this kid properly, what if he turned around and reported this place to KaibaCorp?
DUEL*2!
Yu Miao: 4000 LP
Qiang: 4000 LP
"The first move is mine." Yu Miao drew his card.
Sss~
The feeling of drawing first was truly exhilarating.
Unfortunately, his deck's power didn't allow for extensive combos.
But, even without combos, he could still have fun!
"Appear, the invincible Axe Raider, kill kill kill, slash slash slash, Path of the Whale Slaying Heaven and Earth!"
Ding~
[Axe Raider, 1700 ATK, Earth attribute]
Axe Raider cooperated perfectly with Yu Miao. As soon as it appeared, it brandished its axe, and its face became completely darkened.
"I end my turn." Yu Miao said helplessly.
The few cards in his hand were all monsters, unbelievable!
