The next day.
Bird City Airport.
Today is August 11th, and the application day for the major dueling universities is getting closer and closer.
It is also the day of departure.
Looking back on this month, Lin You participated in many duels and encountered various opponents.
The genius of Niaodu is much more powerful than he imagined.
Whether it is Jiang Xiao or Yang Xu, their strength is terrifyingly strong.
If it weren't for Baphomet, Lin You wouldn't be able to fight against them with his current strength.
And these two were not able to stand at the top of the Bird City graduates.
The two rookie stars from prestigious universities who were guests were obviously stronger.
This is just Bird City, what if it is Magic City or Imperial City?
Through this competition, Lin You has a full understanding of his own strength.
What he lacks most now is magic power.
With his current magic power, he can't even unleash the maximum power of his current deck.
But the current deck is still far from enough.
Magic, magic!
After being admitted to Jiangcheng University, the first thing Lin You had to find a way to improve was his own magic power.
now.
Not only Du Xiaofei but also Yi Zhiqing came to see him off at the airport.
This led to Liu Jun being very active, and he tried to extend the topic to himself from time to time, but he never succeeded.
"Okay, we're leaving now. Take care."
Just before going through security, Lin You said his final goodbye.
"Well, you should take care of yourself too. If you have the chance in the future, you must come to Bird City again."
Yi Zhiqing rarely lowered her head, but looked directly at Lin You and smiled.
"Goodbye, two single dogs."
Seeing Lin You and Liu Jun passing through security check one after another, Du Xiaofei laughed and said with a carefree attitude.
These were words he hadn't dared to say before, but now that both of them were going to leave, what was there to be afraid of?
"Just wait, kid."
Lin You got angry and said, "Don't let us catch you next time. If we do, we'll let you know what physical weight loss is."
Du Xiaofei was not in a hurry and felt relieved.
Before we came to the airport, he said he would treat us, but he ended up spending thousands of dollars on a bowl of bean paste. I was so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.
If we don't let him vent, he will be suffocated, right?
As for Lin You’s ‘threat’?
He doesn't care.
He didn't believe at all that Lin You would still remember this incident in the future.
…
1:30 pm.
Wuhu~
The plane took off on time and landed again at almost four in the afternoon.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, Lin You sniffed the air deeply.
Jiangcheng is finally back.
You’re not to mention.
I've been away for a month and I miss you so much.
Just as Mr. Bird City thought, people nowadays always have a special sense of belonging to the city where they have lived for many years.
Lin You is just like that.
In fact, before the world changed, Lin You had never even left Jiangcheng.
"Let's go, son of a cow."
Lin You said happily, "I'll treat you."
"real?"
Liu Jun's eyes lit up, "What to eat?"
"Nonsense, hot dry noodles."
"That's it?"
Liu Jun looked disappointed. What's the point of eating hot dry noodles? Aren't you tired of eating this for breakfast every day?
"Do you want to eat it? If not, forget it. It will save me four dollars."
Liu Jun immediately said, "Eat it! If you can get it for free, wouldn't you be a fool not to eat it?"
No matter how disappointed you are, it’s still okay not to spend money.
Besides, I had already made a big profit from eating out Du Xiaofei.
…
After searching for a long time near the airport, I finally found a shop that still serves hot dry noodles in the afternoon.
After eating the noodles, Lin You hailed a taxi. Since it was on the way, Liu Jun saved the fare again.
The two went back to their homes.
As soon as he got home and went back to his bedroom, Lin You lay down directly.
My own bed is more comfortable.
"Coolie~"
The chestnut ball flew out on its own, it also missed something.
Bread and jam in the refrigerator.
Lin You lay down for a while and soon turned over again.
But he still has important things to do.
Draw a card!
A total of five chances to draw.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited.
First I ran to the bathroom to wash my hands, then returned to the bedroom and drove myself with my mind.
The familiar card roulette appears.
In a few days, Jiangcheng University will begin the advanced entrance examination.
I heard Hu Yu say before that this test was very difficult, and he said that even if he tried his best, he might not be able to pass.
But with Lin You's current ability, it shouldn't be difficult.
And if we can strengthen the deck a little more, it will be even more foolproof.
Thinking of this, Lin You moved his mind and started drawing cards.
The wheel spun rapidly, and after twenty seconds, the cursor froze.
When Lin You saw this card, his face fell.
The card depicts a naked one-eyed monster that shows off its strong physique. The monster has green skin and a bald head.
Of course, it is also green.
【Cyclops】
Star rating: White
Attribute: Earth
Race: Beast Warrior
Attack power: 1200, Defense power: 1000
Introduction: A giant with only one eye who uses his giant arm to fight enemies. Be careful.
…
You read that right.
This is a mortal bone monster with no good looks, no data, and no special effects.
To describe it in two words, it's a complete shutdown.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the worst card Lin You has ever drawn in all his card drawing efforts.
Of course, in terms of capabilities, it is at least much stronger than a giant truck.
But it also indirectly reflects how bad Lin You's original deck was, and a huge truck can be used as the ace monster in it.
"Could it be that a trip to Bird City has dispersed all the European energy?"
Lin You joked, but didn't take it too seriously, as he still had four chances to draw cards.
Can’t draw an ideal card after four chances?
Of course not...
No, of course it is possible!
Lin You changed his words in time and almost got himself into trouble. It was a close call.
Shaking his head and discarding his previous thoughts, Lin You moved his mind again and used up his second chance to draw a card.
The cursor started to move again, spinning rhythmically for a while before stopping at a square on the wheel.
Land-based combat boat
Star rating: White
Attribute: Earth
Race: Mechanical
Attack power: 1500, Defense power: 1000
Introduction: Land combat robots can one day be used in the sea.
…
The results of this draw are not too bad, but they are not good either.
If it was not a combat boat but a proper submarine, it might be of some use.
The only advantage of this card is probably that it looks like a monster card that can fight at both long and short range.
Thinking about this, it is not unacceptable.
At least, it is much more reliable than the previous Cyclops.
Lin You felt that something was wrong with his luck, but he quickly started the third draw.
This time, different colors finally appeared.
【Holy Magician】
Star rating: White
Attribute: Light
Race: Magician
Attack power: 300, Defense power: 400
Flip Effect: When this card is flipped, target a Magic card in your Graveyard, and return it to your Deck.
…
This card, like Deng Yuxin's Marshmallow and Zhou Zheng's Dark City, is a monster card with a flip effect.
To activate the reversal effect, either wait for the enemy to attack, or actively inject magic power to create a reversal.
The activation conditions are not harsh, it just requires active activation and consumes additional magic power.
Although the panel data of the Holy Magician card is negligible, the reversal effect is quite good.
You can put magic cards in the graveyard back into the deck so that you can activate it again.
Pretty awesome.
In Lin You's deck, the two magic cards currently placed are Black Necklace and Proliferation.
It is unrealistic to activate Proliferation again. After all, the Chestnut Ball can only be sacrificed once, and it is impossible to use derivatives to make up for it.
But if the black necklace is sent to the cemetery and then returned, its effect is still obvious.
However, if the duel really reached that point, Lin You’s magic power would have been exhausted long ago.
At least that's the case for now.
After all, it all comes back to the question of magic.
Don’t worry about this, there are still two chances to draw, Lin You moved his mind again.
The cursor moved for the fourth time.
Soon, the extraction results came out.
This time, there was no quadruple draw of monster cards, but a trap card.
【transposition】
Card Type: Trap Card
Effect: When a monster on your side of the field becomes the target of the effect of the opponent's Spell or Trap Card, or becomes the target of the opponent's monster's attack, you can activate this effect and transfer that target to another monster on your side of the field.
…
This is a defensive trap card, and the protection area is relatively wide.
Whether it is the targeting of magic and trap cards or the attacks of monsters, they are all within the protection range of this card.
Of course, another monster on the field needs to take the blame.
But this alone is powerful enough.
Lin You was very satisfied with the result of this draw. He felt like his luck had turned. He had a premonition that he would be able to draw a "big fish" in his last chance to draw.
Thinking of this, Lin You made a prompt decision, turned the roulette wheel with his mind, and started the final draw.
The cursor kept spinning and finally stopped. Lin You's eyes fixed and he looked over quickly.
【Experienced Black Magician】
Star rating: White
Attribute: Dark
Race: Magician
Attack power: 1900, Defense power: 1700
Effect: As long as this card is on the field, each time you or your opponent activates a Spell Card, place 1 Magic Counter on this card (up to 3). When the Magic Counter reaches 3, you can Release this card and summon 1 Black Magician from your Deck or Graveyard.
…
"What the hell?"
The moment he saw the card clearly, Lin You screamed in surprise.
This card is actually a skilled Dark Magician who can create card linkage with the Dark Magician.
What is Dark Magician?
The legendary Bck horse chassis!
The most representative signature monster of Duel King Yugi Muto!
But unfortunately, although Lin You knew about the Dark Magician, he did not have this card now, and he didn't know when he would have the chance to draw it.
According to the definition of cards in this world, Dark Magician should be classified as a Red Star Monster.
A monster of this level might not be drawn even in the intermediate roulette, let alone the primary one.
That being said, the individual stats of the card, Skilled Black Magician, are already quite powerful.
The White Star Monster in the Card Roulette starts at the Duel level. If this card can awaken its own combat skills, its power will be quite good.
But then again.
"Of the cards I drew, quite a few were related to the Magician family. Not only the monster cards, but also the Magician's Top Hat and Magic Top Hat among the Trap Cards."
Lin You noticed this problem again. He had ignored it from time to time before, but now he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the card roulette in each stage has its own 'main theme' of cards?
A guess is just a guess, and if it cannot be verified, it is meaningless.
Lin You placed the five cards he drew this time on the table. After thinking for a moment, Lin You replaced the pterosaur guarding the city with the skilled black magician, and temporarily put the remaining cards into the card box.
There are a lot of cards stored in the card box, including multiplication cards.
The chestnut ball army can no longer provide much help. In the previous finals, Lin You took out the proliferation first.
After all, although there are many chestnut ball derivatives, they are not the kind of derivatives that can be used as sacrifices.
Even facing the numerous gem beasts, they couldn't hold out for long.
At this moment, Lin You did not change the proliferation back for the time being.
It doesn’t matter anyway. Once your application is successful, the school will naturally send you the duel disk.
At that time, the starting card capacity of the duel disk will be 15 cards, and the space will be greatly increased.
The five draw opportunities have been used up.
Overall, the results of this extraction are pretty good.
When he first drew those two cards, Lin You almost thought he was finished. Fortunately, the next three cards were better than the last, and he successfully completed the comeback.
"Magic power, this is what I lack the most right now."
The topic returned to the original point, and Lin You began to mutter.
Calculating the time, it has been quite a while since I last used the magic tonic, and the medicinal effects have been absorbed sufficiently.
Looking at the balance in the card account, it is just over 320,000 yuan.
There is a bonus of 200,000.
A whole piece of high-quality medium-sized magic crystal is more than enough.
As for large magic crystals, Jiangbei Mall doesn't have them at all.
To be exact, there is no first floor.
The duelist area on the second floor most likely has one.
Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but feel itchy and looked forward to the registration day to come soon.
As long as he can pass the advanced entrance examination, Lin You will be granted the status of "apprentice one-star duelist".
At that time, you will be able to visit the duelist area that you have longed for.
This duelist area naturally does not refer to true star duelists.
That would be unreasonably harsh.
The apprentice duelist stage has a full five stars.
After this stage, you can directly meet the graduation requirements of Jiangcheng University.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lin You began his daily magic training.
…
night.
After eating the takeaway, Lin You went straight to Jiangbei Mall, found a suitable store, and bought a high-quality magic crystal on the recommendation of a male salesperson.
No nonsense, just paid the bill and left.
The salesman was laughing happily. He was an intern salesman in this store. Since he was a man and not very good-looking, even though he had good business skills, he seldom sold big orders.
But today my luck turned and I met a customer as straightforward as Lin You.
Therefore, what was selected for Lin You was also the best of the best, with excellent magic power accumulation.
…
Back home.
Open the crystal box.
Take out the magic crystal.
A strong magical aura wafted towards me. It was indeed a magic crystal of top quality. Its aura alone was extraordinary.
Lin You immediately released his magic power.
Dark blue magic power emerged, covering the magic crystal and began to devour the magic power inside. The flow rate of magic power in Lin You's body suddenly increased.
A sudden chill arose, and the chill quickly spread throughout the body.
Lin You is quite familiar with absorbing magic crystals.
Although this strange cold feeling was a bit stronger than the previous absorption, Lin You didn't feel anything special.
The magic power is constantly being consumed.
Judging from the performance of swallowing, there seems to be some progress compared to before.
But this is probably related to the quality of the magic crystal itself.
Lin You's outstanding magical physique is mainly reflected in the fusion of magic.
At this time, the magic power has evolved from an accelerated state to a frozen state.
Freezing is quite fast.
This means that the fusion of magic this time is very perfect.
Soon, Lin You felt a surge of magic power in his body.
The growth rate is not low, a full 7 points!
This result is very encouraging.
7 points may seem okay, but don't forget that Lin You has absorbed magic crystals of this quality several times.
Generally speaking, unless the quality is significantly improved, the effect will be greatly reduced after the third magic absorption.
But this situation did not happen to Lin You.
His magic absorption has always been stable.
After this absorption, the magic value has increased to 174 points.
Although it is still not high, the growth is still obvious, and Lin You is still quite satisfied.
As for further improvement, I will wait until I enter school and see if I can get some mid-level magic supplements.
Absorbing a bottle of intermediate magic tonic not only increases magic power, but also satisfies the conditions of the 'Magic Tonic Absorption Achievement Sequence'.
"call……"
Exhaling, Lin You turned his phone back on. There was no other way. The phone kept ringing while he was practicing. Now that he was absorbing magic power, he didn't dare turn it on for fear of any trouble.
The phone has just been turned on.
I saw a lot of missed calls and unread text messages.
The calls were from several classmates in the duel class, and judging from the text messages, they had learned that he had won the Bird City Graduation Cup. One by one, they were asking him to treat them to a meal to celebrate his victory in Bird City.
"Really well-informed."
Lin You couldn't help but laugh. He had thought that since he won the championship this time, Bird City would probably handle the news in a low-key manner. Unexpectedly, the news still reached Jiangcheng.
The spread of the news was not strong, but almost everyone who knew Lin You knew about it, and they should have shared the information with each other.
Messages are replied one by one.
Lin You said please, everyone is welcome.
Anyway, I have a lot of spare money, so treating guests these days is no big deal.
He had heard that after entering the school, there were basically no holidays except for major holidays such as the Spring Festival.
It sounds quite sad, but in Lin You's opinion now, this is the right thing to do.
What’s the point of taking a holiday?
Is it fun to play cards and practice cultivation?
Fortunately, there was the Niaodu Graduation Cup to kill time during this long graduation holiday, otherwise Lin You would probably be bored to death.
…
In the next few days, many people asked Lin You to treat them.
Lin You was also very generous and treated everyone to several meals in turn.
Every meal is a feast for the senses.
When Liu Jun heard about this good news, he didn't miss a single meal. He is so cunning.
But eating and drinking doesn’t cost much.
Just think of it as the last carnival before school starts.
And finally, August 15th.
This is the unified registration day for Jiangcheng University and even major duelist universities across the country—
Here it comes.
