【Achievement 'First Championship in the Primary Tournament' has been achieved. This achievement is a top-level primary achievement, 'Number of Primary Card Draws +5' (maximum)!】
Five draw chances!
That's five cards in total.
Lin You couldn't help but show ecstasy on his face. To outsiders, they all thought that he was overjoyed because he won the championship.
But the reality is completely different.
Championships are important.
But if he wins the championship but fails to trigger any achievement sequence, Lin You will be depressed.
All this effort, just for a graduation cup championship title and two hundred thousand?
Fortunately, Lin You’s guess was not wrong.
In fact, he couldn't be sure whether this victory could trigger the achievement sequence. After all, although it was a championship, the participants of this event were just a group of high school graduates, and it was far from a national level.
Although the Bird City Graduation Cup is quite famous, the vast majority of the valuable contestants are still locals of Bird City.
This can be seen from the list of the top 16.
It was said that contestants came from all over the country, but most of them were people like Liu Jun who came just to join in the fun. Liu Jun even won three consecutive victories in the preliminaries.
Otherwise, the two rookie kings, Pengyue and Tianyu, would not sit idly by and have no interest in participating in the competition.
Lin You’s existence was really unexpected.
The system's judgment is still powerful!
Lin You just wanted to say this, but judging from the judgment of this "primary competition", there will obviously be intermediate and even advanced competitions in the future.
Intermediate competitions mostly refer to formal duelist competitions.
It is not certain how advanced the competition is, but the National Masters Tournament can definitely be considered advanced.
He shook his head and brought his thoughts back to where they were.
The supervisor had already announced Lin You's victory. The atmosphere on the scene was a little subtle, but according to the procedure, the necessary award ceremony for the championship was still indispensable.
Lin You was not surprised. He won the championship on someone else's turf, so it was normal for the audience to be in a bad mood.
But high up in the audience, Yi Zhiqing seemed to have no awareness of being a local, and her joy was beyond words.
"Brother, Lin You really won, he is the champion!"
In the live broadcast room, barrages of comments were flying everywhere.
Since it was a championship match, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was much higher than before, and Yi Zhiqing's die-hard fans started giving gifts again.
All of them are 'big pineapples'.
This time, at least hundreds of them can be rushed.
Yi Wenye said helplessly: "Zhiqing, please pay attention to the impact."
There were already many people around looking at them with unfriendly expressions. They were just feeling depressed, but someone was celebrating openly, which was really unpleasant.
Yi Zhiqing was a little slow to react and lowered her head a little embarrassedly, but she couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.
Yi Wenye also smiled. No matter what, the most important thing was that his sister was happy.
After laughing for a while, his expression suddenly turned cold. He looked around and scolded, "What are you looking at? If you want to die, see you in the underground death arena."
When he said this, the murderous intent that permeated his eyes made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar. Although those people didn't quite understand what the 'underground death arena' was, they still felt inexplicably afraid and quickly averted their gaze.
…
podium.
Lin You stood at the highest point, with Jiang Xiao and Qi Yuxuan standing on his left and right, who were ranked second and third respectively.
The person in charge of presenting the awards was a man in his early thirties. When Lin You and the others saw him coming, a hint of respect appeared in their eyes.
Obviously they all recognized this person's identity.
The host had previously introduced the identities of several guests. The man in front of him was none other than the instructor of Bird City High School, a Glory Three-Star Duelist.
Anyone would inevitably have some admiration and respect for such a powerful duelist, and Lin You is no exception.
The man smiled and handed several medals to the three people.
When he handed the gold medal representing the championship to Lin You, he said, "I didn't expect that Jiangcheng would have so many talented people this year. In the home court of Bird City, winning both the championship and the third place at the same time is really amazing."
"With your affirmation, my trip is worthwhile." Lin You flattered.
"Yeah?"
The Bird City instructor smiled and continued, "How about it? A genius like you, are you interested in developing your career at Bird City University? Although it's not in your hometown, you will go further."
"Honestly, I'm very optimistic about your dueling potential. As you know, Niaodu is ranked sixth among the dueling cities in the country. In terms of dueling atmosphere, it's no exaggeration to say it's among the top three in the country."
"And Bird City High School is Bird City's most famous and powerful duel school. It will definitely be able to maximize your potential. You will have a good chance of reaching the level of Master or even higher."
There is no doubt that there is some boasting in what Mr. Niaodu said, but it is not an empty promise. He is indeed optimistic about Lin You's future.
Therefore, even though what Mentor Changda had said to him before made some sense, he did not want to give up the opportunity to win over Lin You easily.
Whether or not it will succeed is one thing.
Whether to try it or not is another matter.
Jiang Xiao and Qi Yuxuan also looked at Lin You at this time.
Jiang Xiao didn't say anything, but he really hoped that Lin You would agree.
He plans to apply to Bird City University. If Lin You joins, the future competition will definitely be more intense, but also more exciting.
Jiang Xiao was never afraid of competition; on the contrary, he was afraid that the competition wasn't strong enough or fierce enough to motivate him to move forward.
Applying for Bird City University?
Lin You was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to make such an invitation.
But he didn't think much about it and smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I already have a high school I want to apply to."
"Is that so? That's a pity."
Teacher Niaodu felt sorry, but didn't say much. Lin You's refusal was actually within his expectations.
After all, young people nowadays all have a sense of belonging to the city.
If the conditions of one's own school are not bad, one will basically not go to other cities to develop.
Instructor Niaodu did not insist any longer and the award ceremony ended quickly.
"That's it, I'm going back first. See you at Jiangcheng High School."
After the award ceremony, Qi Yuxuan had a brief chat with Lin You. When he learned that Lin You was indeed planning to apply for Jiangcheng University, he smiled and said before leaving.
"See you later."
Lin You waved his hand, and the Bird City Graduation Cup came to an end. Naturally, the contestants from all over the country had to return home.
In fact, most contestants left after being eliminated.
Lin Youze didn't leave for the time being as he had a dinner party in the evening.
The one who treated us to the dinner was Yi Zhiqing's brother, and the location was sent to us not long ago.
We booked a private room at a hot pot restaurant near the climbing arena.
They even booked a private room for hotpot, it seems they really want to talk about something serious.
At the entrance of the arena.
Liu Jun was stunned when he heard about this and said, "The live stream girl wants to take the initiative to treat you to a meal?"
If it were any other time, he would have added with a complaint, "Is this fair?"
But this time he held it back.
Things are different now. Lin You won the Bird City Graduation Cup.
He began to admire Lin You from the bottom of his heart.
Having won the championship, it would be strange if it didn't attract more attention.
"Don't think too much. I heard that her brother wants to talk to me about something." Lin You knew that Liu Jun was lost in his thoughts again.
"elder brother?"
Du Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, then revealed a congratulatory expression. "That's great. It's already progressed to meeting the parents. That's quite efficient."
"Get lost."
Lin You laughed and cursed, saying that this guy was even more imaginative than Liu Jun.
"That's the way it is."
Not intending to continue discussing this, Lin You asked, "Liu Jun, when did you book your flight?"
He knew Liu Jun's character. Since he was paying for the air tickets, he would definitely book them in advance as it would be cheaper that way.
Liu Jun thought for a moment before saying, "The flight is at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon."
"Can."
If it's 1:30 in the afternoon, there's still some time. He turned to look at Du Xiaofei and said, "Brother, let's have another meal together tomorrow, and then we'll be leaving."
In the past month or so, Lin You and the little fat boy have become quite familiar with each other.
I'm about to leave, and to be honest, I really... I'm not reluctant at all.
But thinking that the next time we meet will probably be a long time later, it is still necessary to have a meal and chat before leaving.
"no problem."
Du Xiaofei said cheerfully, "I'll take care of it. Just tell me what you want to eat, and it doesn't matter how much you eat."
"Haha, that's what you said."
Before Lin You could say anything, Liu Jun got excited and urged, "Lin You, let's eat him out of money. I'll find the most expensive restaurant."
"Just make the arrangements." Lin You said.
Du Xiaofei was a little amused and said, "You really think highly of me."
"That's a must!"
Liu Jun said, a hint of jealousy in his voice, "You've been in love three times in high school. Dating is the most expensive thing. How dare you say you don't have money?"
Du Xiaofei was choked and speechless. His logic was clear and well-reasoned.
Okay, you are right.
…
Climbing Arena.
The audience has left, and many staff members are responsible for cleaning up the scene.
A workshop.
The phone in the office suddenly rang.
A middle-aged man with a square face answered the phone with some uneasiness, having a bad feeling.
"It's me."
An elderly voice came over the phone, confirming his hunch.
"Mr. Jiang."
The square-faced man replied respectfully but nervously.
"I heard that kid lost the finals?"
"……yes."
"He refused to use that card?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, this was our mistake. We should have..."
The square-faced man suddenly panicked and tried to explain hurriedly.
"Answer my question."
Old Jiang interrupted, his tone of voice calm and normal, but the square-faced man felt like a thorn in his back.
I failed to do what this person asked me to do, and now I'm in real trouble.
The square-faced man was sweating profusely and could hardly hold the receiver in his hand.
"yes."
As he uttered the word with great difficulty, his square face was tense with nerves. He closed his eyes and lowered his head, waiting for the impending "bolt from the blue".
But on the other end of the line, there was a burst of laughter, and the originally old voice seemed to sound ten years younger.
It's over.
It's all over now.
What does it mean to laugh when you are extremely angry?
That's it!
The square-faced man felt that his future had become bleak, so he decided to reserve a cemetery first.
These days, it’s not that easy to grab a cemetery.
"Good, very good. It seems that the boy hasn't forgotten the lesson I taught him before."
On the other end of the phone, the old man's voice was full of satisfaction, and he asked, "Where is the card now?"
"Mr. Jiang, he's here with me."
The square-faced man was a little confused now, but still answered subconsciously.
"Throw it away."
"Throw it away?"
The square-faced man was even more confused.
"There's no point in keeping it."
The old man smiled and said, "With a card of that level, it is not qualified to withstand the "reiatsu" I personally exert. Are you planning to keep the discarded card for the New Year instead of throwing it away?"
"Abandoned..."
The square-faced man's eyes widened. He suddenly understood the old man's intention and said quickly, "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I understand."
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone and the old man hung up.
After putting the receiver back, the square-faced man breathed a sigh of relief. His mood just now was as exciting as a roller coaster.
Damn, the old man is so naughty.
I specifically asked them to send a card to my grandson.
It turned out that it was not the psychic card that helped him win the championship.
It's still a useless card with side effects.
If Jiang Xiao accepted this card and used it in a duel, he would probably be killed on the spot.
After a while, the square-faced man calmed down, but he was not very happy.
Fortunately, I managed to avoid the old man's wrath.
But he still has to endure the condemnation from netizens. If he wasn't thick-skinned, he would probably be in tears.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Hot pot restaurant.
When Lin You found the place, he discovered that the hot pot restaurant was quite large. There were hundreds of tables in the public dining area alone, making it lively and noisy.
When he came in, Lin You was still a little worried. He had just won the championship in Bird City, so he wondered if he would be recognized.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it.
The hot pot restaurant was busy, with more than a dozen waiters coming and going, and people at each table chatting about their own things.
It is said that eating hot pot is comfortable in winter.
But in fact, it tastes more refreshing and exciting in summer.
Although the store was busy, when Lin You entered, a special receptionist still came to ask him questions.
Lin You told the other party the box number he wanted to go to, and the lady quickly led him to the place.
Push the door.
Inside was a medium-sized private room for six people to dine together. It wasn't very big, but since there were only Yi Zhiqing and Yi Wenye sitting inside, it still seemed very spacious.
Seeing him come in, Yi Zhiqing stood up, a smile on her face, and whispered: "Lin You, congratulations, you won the championship, you are really amazing."
After saying this, her eyes moved slightly downwards.
She is not very good at praising others in person and feels a little embarrassed.
"Thanks."
Lin You first thanked him, then said, "But after all, I won the championship and the prize money is 200,000. It should be my turn to treat everyone."
"You're welcome."
Sitting in his seat, Yi Wenye smiled faintly and said, "I'm the one who should be thankful. I heard about what happened in the live broadcast room before. It was all thanks to you for your help."
What happened in the live broadcast room?
Lin You was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "It's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart."
"It's no small matter."
Yi Wenye shook his head and said seriously, "You should have gotten to know Zhiqing's personality over the past few days. Zhiqing decided to do a live broadcast mainly because she listened to my advice."
"The main purpose of letting her livestream is to help her build confidence and improve some of her interpersonal communication problems. I know that in this process, there will inevitably be some friendly and unfriendly voices."
"But I don't want her to hear or see those unfriendly parts for the time being. If she does, it will be my fault. As an advisor, I can't protect her all the time."
"So, I must express my gratitude to you."
Having said this, Yi Wenye paused and continued, "Of course, I specially invited you here today not only for this matter."
"I'm a straightforward person, so we should be eating and talking at the same time, but I want to talk about this first."
"No problem, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Lin You sat down. He didn't like beating around the bush. If there was anything, he would just get straight to the point.
"Okay then."
A faint smile appeared on Yi Wenye's lips. Lin You's personality was very much to his liking. He said directly, "I want to ask, are you interested in the Duelist Association?"
"Duelist Association?"
Lin You was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to ask such a high-level question.
The Duelists Association is the place that symbolizes the strongest dueling power in China.
As for interest, of course he has it.
Yi Wenye saw this in his eyes and continued, "You should know that, aside from the headquarters in the imperial capital, the Duelist Association has corresponding branches across the country. These branches are also the centers of dueling power in each region."
"The Duelist Association controls a vast amount of dueling resources. Not only do they have material resources like duel disks, cards, and magic supplements, but they also have the best human resources."
"But the more crucial thing is the various extremely valuable secret resources."
Secret resources!
Lin You's mind moved.
He didn't know much about the secret realm, limited to the secret realm fluctuation events he had experienced before.
But you must know that in this world, the secret realm is the origin of duel monsters.
There must be countless secrets hidden in the secret realm.
Lin You has a strong desire to explore this.
Exploring these secrets is not just about broadening your horizons.
More importantly, while exploring, we can also discover various benefits.
Nothing else to say.
Let’s talk about the soul card.
In the secret realm, as long as you have enough strength, the soul card is basically within your reach.
It is easy to make a fortune.
Yi Wenye smiled calmly, seeing Lin You's excitement, and took the opportunity to say, "If you can join the Duelist Association, there will be countless opportunities to explore secret realms. As for the benefits of joining, I think you will understand once you arrive at Duelist University."
Duelist High School also offers the opportunity to enter the secret realm?!
Lin You heard the hidden meaning in the other person's words and was surprised, but he didn't ask about it. Instead, he said, "So, you are from the Duelist Association?"
"You could say that."
Yi Wenye nodded and said, "But to be more precise, I'm from the Bird City Duelists' Chapter. I have some reputation in the chapter, so I'm qualified to 'recommend' you. I'd like to recommend you to join the Bird City Duelists' Chapter."
At this point, before Lin You could speak, he added, "Of course, it's after you graduate. Duelist High School is different from Duelist High School. It's very important, no, it should be said to be indispensable."
"I think you're planning to apply to Jiangcheng University, right?"
"right."
"It doesn't matter."
Yi Wenye said, "Although I would prefer you to apply to Bird City University, Jiangcheng University is also a good choice. The Bird City Duelist Chapter does not consider these factors when recruiting personnel. They value actual strength."
“This is different from many places.”
"different?"
Lin You was surprised and didn't know what exactly was different.
Yi Wenye quickly answered, "The Bird City Duelist Chapter is a duelist chapter that fully implements the concept of 'elitist'. The recruitment threshold is even second only to the Imperial City and the Magic City."
"The high threshold limits the number of members, but it also means more opportunities. I believe you can seize those opportunities."
"I see."
Lin You felt relieved, but then again, under such conditions, Yi Wenye was able to enter the Bird City Duelist Association, which seemed to indicate that he was quite capable.
Besides, although the qualification of "recommendation" he mentioned sounded light, it was not that simple.
"In short, this is what I want to say. You don't need to make a decision in a hurry. After all, no matter how fast, it will probably take at least two years." Yi Wenye said.
All Duelist colleges across the country are four-year programs.
Graduation requirements vary.
However, the graduation requirement for top dueling colleges is usually to be a duelist.
If you fail to become a duelist, you will not be able to graduate and will have to repeat the grade, and you can only repeat the grade for a maximum of two years.
If you still fail, you will be forced to drop out of school.
While there are those who cannot graduate, there are naturally some geniuses who have the ability to graduate early.
But no matter how early you graduate, you must stay in school for two years before you are allowed to graduate.
This is what Yi Wenye meant by the two years.
Lin You also knew.
"Okay, I'll seriously consider it."
This time, Lin You didn't refuse outright. After all, it would be at least two years later.
What is the future path?
Who knows.
