Chapter 11: Puppet
"Qiang, tell me in more detail about the situation of each stronghold in this city." Yu Miao decided to hear his opinion.
Qiang began to explain: "..."
There are currently a total of 7 fixed, mysterious Rare Hunters strongholds in Domino City.
The lower-ranked Rare Hunters are highly mobile. Since the Rare Hunters are an international organization, most hunters operate overseas.
With the "Duel City" event about to start, overseas Rare Hunters have been gradually gathering in Domino City.
These 7 strongholds in Domino City undoubtedly serve as the base of operations for each Ghouls Hunter in the city.
"For some reason, Lord Marik seems to be arriving in Domino City ahead of schedule." Qiang revealed an important piece of information.
After learning this, Yu Miao felt it was an opportunity.
The Rare Hunters' structure is simple; if Marik says you're capable, then you are.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, dueling reigns supreme. Strength is the best calling card.
For Yu Miao to rise in rank, he must demonstrate his value so that Marik will test him later.
He must stir up some trouble!
"Why don't we see other Rare Hunters at this stronghold?" Yu Miao was quite curious about this.
"The other strongholds are either leisure clubs or big hotels..." Qiang's expression was strange, and he said somewhat embarrassedly: "If it were you, coming to this city, would you be willing to rest at this stronghold?"
Coupled with the fact that this stronghold's leader has poor personal charm...
No one was willing to stay in this rundown arcade.
"Good grief, even this is competitive?" Yu Miao was greatly shocked.
No wonder only Qiang was here.
There was no trace of other Rare Hunters; 80% had probably run off to other strongholds.
This stronghold is really weak.
From Qiang's mouth, Yu Miao also learned something else.
"Within the Rare Hunters, there is a guaranteed reward mechanism, which is contribution point exchange." After losing to Yu Miao, Qiang was completely subservient. He handed his tablet to the former.
Yu Miao swiped through the tablet; it displayed various cards the Rare Hunters had collected over time.
These were all genuine cards!!
Yu Miao even saw Ritual Monsters.
For example, the super rare Ritual Monster from the early Yu-Gi-Oh! days.
Zera the Mant!
To obtain these genuine cards, one must spend "Contribution Points".
How to get Contribution Points?
By doing tasks for the Rare Hunter, hunting various duelists, collecting various rare cards, etc.
This snowballing virtuous cycle has allowed the Rare Hunter to accumulate many precious rare cards internally.
"Wow." Yu Miao saw cards like Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity... even the invincible Painful Choice!
"This is terrifying (I want them so much)." Yu Miao put down the tablet and said to Qiang: "Quickly, use your contribution points to get some cards for me."
Qiang: ?
Is this even human language?
Although the Rare Hunter are a counterfeiting group, everyone knows genuine cards are better.
But genuine cards are expensive too!
Qiang's highly rare genuine "Raigeki" card was very expensive!
And in the end, it was stolen by Yu Miao...
Who else?
Who is more miserable than him?
With only one sheep left in this stronghold, Yu Miao had no reason to let Qiang off.
Qiang's expression was grim; he somewhat regretted joining the Rare Hunters in the first place, and even more so regretted staying at this crappy stronghold.
Those Rare Hunters who ran off to other strongholds early on were truly foresighted!
"I refuse." Qiang wanted to resist. Sure, he lost the duel, but he had already paid the price.
His cards were taken by Yu Miao, and he lost his leader position.
A scholar would rather die than be humiliated, he is Qiang!
A disagreement occurs in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world?
No problem, dueling can decide everything.
As a Rare Hunter, Qiang naturally had more than one Main Deck. He pulled out another deck from under the sofa.
And issued a second duel challenge to Yu Miao.
Duel start.
...
Duel end.
Result: Qiang lost.
Afterwards.
Yu Miao gleefully checked Qiang's contribution points, while also noticing something.
If you challenge the same duelist repeatedly within a single day, you cannot repeatedly obtain experience and rewards, including the proficiency increase for cards possessing a "Spirit Heart".
Qiang lay on the ground, wishing he were dead, because he had encountered Yu Miao, this god of misfortune.
What sin!
Lying on the ground, Qiang shed two streams of tears...
If only he hadn't stayed at this crappy stronghold.
Let whoever wants to stay, stay!
"530 contribution points?"
"Your contribution points, why so few?"
Yu Miao looked disappointed, feeling heartache over Qiang's lack of points.
If you Rare Hunters don't work hard, how can he become stronger?
When will he ever surpass Yugi Muto?
In Qiang's eyes, it seemed as if two sharp horns had grown on Yu Miao's head.
A demon, a demon!
"My points are all that's left, if you don't want them then give them back to me." Qiang cried bitterly.
He's done playing, can he have his money back?
Yu Miao: No!
Although it was only 530 contribution points, Yu Miao found that in the Rare Hunters' repository, the exchange value for Pot of Greed was 500~
Meaning, Yu Miao could use Qiang's contribution points to exchange for 1 invincible Pot of Greed!
"Place the order, place the order." Yu Miao exchanged directly.
-
500 contribution points~
Guilt?
Nonexistent.
Having entered the Rare Hunters industry, Yu Miao wasn't pretending to be a righteous gentleman.
He became a Rare Hunter precisely to run amok.
"Your contribution points are gone, how do I get my card?" Yu Miao raised a question.
"The Rare Hunters are a large international organization; we have a supporting professional logistics company, which is also a very normal thing." Qiang helplessly explained: "Against-the-Wind Logistics belongs to the Rare Hunters . After you make an internal exchange, a special courier will deliver it to your door the next day..."
Yu Miao nodded frequently. The Rare Hunters were such a good place.
Full of prospects!
Although the Rare Hunters are a villainous organization, this place offers many opportunities, and Yu Miao's chances to fish in troubled waters here are also great.
Moreover, these Rare Hunters have done every manner of evil.
Yu Miao can harvest these Rare Hunters like chives without any mercy.
The faster the Rare Hunters develop, the faster Yu Miao might become stronger.
There's no faster way to get stronger than seizing others' cards!
Nighttime.
At this moment.
On a quiet street, a man in a long black coat walked slowly.
The wind blew back the hood of the black coat, revealing yellow hair and a headband with the pattern of the American flag.
He, Keith Howard, nicknamed "Bandit Keith"!
After the Duel Kingdom battle, Keith suffered humiliation and was dealt a harsh blow by Pegasus.
The outcome was being thrown into the sea for exile...
The days adrift at sea were extremely painful; Keith clung miserably to a wooden stake floating on the ocean.
He encountered a ship from the internationally renowned "Rare Hunter" organization!
Keith was recruited by the Rare Hunter' leader (Marik).
A joke?
How arrogant Keith was; he certainly wasn't willing to submit.
Unfortunately, the sunshine boy wasn't going to mess around with you. If you refuse the soft approach, then take the hard one!
Marik used the power of the Millennium Rod to directly control Keith, brainwashing him into becoming a member of the "Rare Hunter".
That's right, the current Keith is merely a puppet manipulated by Marik.
