Chaotic back alley.
A dark little house.
Buzzing sound.
You Zhou slowly opened his eyes.
He didn't know how long he had slept. He only heard a terrible sound ringing in his ears.
I am...
He remembered.
He was battling someone, trying to summon the card called Chaos Warrior, but ended up passing out.
Ugh……
Thinking back to this, he couldn't help but feel sad again.
His life was a progression from one failure to another.
I heard the sound of a chainsaw. Was I tied up in some hotel?
Ugh……
Forget it, in the last stage of my life, being able to turn into a delicious dish for others to eat is not a complete failure...
"Oh, you're awake?"
Just as he was daydreaming, a voice came into his ears.
He opened his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, and saw Zhao Ye, who was covered in oil and holding an electric saw in one hand, with a normal expression on his face.
He was startled, sat up, touched his body, and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with his body.
oh! ?
I wasn't sawed!
He quickly turned around and looked at Zhao Ye again.
"The Swiss round has ended. Unfortunately, you slept too long and lost your qualifications." Zhao Ye held the electric saw in one hand and continued to saw his own things.
You Zhou sat up straight, rubbed his temples, and recalled what had happened before. He roughly knew what had happened and knew that he had missed another opportunity, so he sighed.
Failure always accompanies his life, from beginning to end.
"There's some food next to the table. Look for it yourself and eat it if you want." Zhao Ye said as he tore a piece of steel off the machine, raised a finger, gestured at the thing in front of him, and said.
You Zhou didn't know what Zhao Ye was thinking, but in his current situation, he would not suffer any loss even if he was killed, so he didn't hesitate, found some convenience food, and started eating.
He doesn't care what the ingredients are.
"I watched your duel in its entirety." Zhao Ye threw away the steel he had just created, shook his head, and said to him, "Although the summoning was not successful, the Chaos Warrior has an attack power of 3000 points, which can be said to be a watershed number.
It may not be easy to defeat Weeks, but at least there is a chance. Unfortunately, your body can't support you to continue the duel and decide the winner."
You Zhou lowered his brows and felt depressed.
"Honestly speaking, among all the unlucky people I've met recently, you're probably the most unlucky one. You're also the only one who ran out of energy and fainted from hunger during the competition."
Zhaoye finished the machine and stopped working. He put down the electric saw and other things, threw away the anti-fouling gloves, yawned, took a glass of water, sat on the chair, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
And whether it was because of Zhaoye's relaxed attitude or because Youzhou was holding back his anger, he clenched the thing in his hand tightly and couldn't help but say, "I... used to be a [Feather]."
Zhaoye slowly opened his eyes.
"Feather?" Zhao Ye raised his eyebrows, "Oh, the city is divided into nests and back alleys, and the residents of the nests are called [Feathers]... You are actually from the nest.
You're living in a back alley now, so you're an outcast? That's pretty sad."
how to say.
It is equivalent to the Celestial Dragons being driven out of their base camp, or directly "demoted to commoners", with absolutely no benefits at all and all their property confiscated.
"So why did you end up like this?"
The boat became depressed again.
This is a very long story.
He spoke slowly.
He once joined the examination village with his friends, was admitted to J Club, became an employee of J Club, and monitored the gambling in J Nest.
At that time, he and his friends were so confident and happy.
But, one day...
"Stop, stop, stop, stop talking."
Zhao Ye knew after listening to the beginning that this was a very long story.
You Zhou was silent.
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance. It's more important to talk about other things."
You Zhou does have a very high affinity for dueling, and can easily reach the first level of emotional level without using the duel stage. Compared to Ye, this is a rare "talent".
Zhao Ye would not follow the local custom and tie up Youzhou and put him in a box to squeeze out his emotions, but after all, it would be a pity to let go of such an excellent talent.
More importantly, he has a high chance of breaking through to a higher level and reaching emotional level two, providing more emotions and allowing Zhaoye to speed up the environment.
The problem was that this person really seemed to have nothing to support him - even Vivian and Lin had money to buy food, but You Zhou almost fainted from hunger.
This also made Zhaoye realize a problem.
Although the people in this world are indeed much stronger than those in their world.
But that doesn’t mean there won’t be any accidents when playing cards.
On the contrary, because this world has more technology and various chaotic situations, the duelists in this world may encounter many extremely rare exceptions - for example, in the original "Yu-Gi-Oh" series, as long as you win the game of cards, there is basically no problem.
But the popular male supporting character in Yu-Gi-Oh! Z4, the character "Amagi Kaito" who has a % winning rate against the protagonist, is a
The one who died on the moon from lack of oxygen after winning.
Physical death, shocking card players.
[It is really difficult to play cards happily in this world.
I actually have to care not only about the duelists' mental state, but also their physical health? 】
It is imperative to protect the card players!
"I'm planning to open a company in the back alley. Since you have experience working in the nest, you should also know some of the relevant procedures, right? Are you interested in working with me?"
"Uh... my job in the nest is just to watch a few screens to see if anyone is cheating..."
"It's okay. At least you look more like one than I do. You can learn those things, too."
"Besides, that's not the most important thing." Zhao Ye slowly opened his narrowed eyes and looked at him, "I have another job that I need help with. If you are willing to agree, I can provide you with a job. At least you will never starve to death."
"Yes?"
"Research."
"But I really don't know how to do this... I'm really just a ..."
“Being studied.”
You Zhou shut up.
After a while.
"Then how do you study it?" He tried his best to keep his voice steady and not let it tremble. "Cutting?"
“No—that’s too inefficient.
It's simple, it's still a duel."
Zhaoye picked up the card and showed it to him.
The implication is very simple. Zhao Ye needs him to duel from time to time to see the actual effect.
These cards are indeed not simple things.
He gave a wry smile.
But he had no choice.
As a former employee of J Club, he could naturally see that these cards had some kind of magical power, but at the same time, he hurriedly said, “Then Manager, you have to be careful!
Whether it is an office or a workshop, they definitely have ulterior motives.
When I was in the nest, there were always some people with ulterior motives who wanted to spy on the secrets of the singularity...
Manager, these cards of yours are too obvious. People with good eyesight won't miss them.
Those people will definitely find a way!
Even peeping, plagiarizing, and stealing the method of making cards. "
"is it?"
He smiled and nodded: "In that case, then my demonstration just now was not in vain."
Demo——
You Zhou was stunned and looked beside him at the things that Zhao Ye had operated.
On purpose! ?
He deliberately let something out!? Why?
How could anyone hand over the secrets of their patent?
He was a little bit incredulous, but at the same time, he also realized that his new boss might not be simple. So, he stopped talking and just waited for Zhaoye to ask.
He suddenly felt pressured, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved and excited.
He bit the food in his mouth, chewing it slowly, but his eyes seemed to be full of other people. He was "looking" outside and into the "nest".
Since you are not dead, you can't give up.
While eating, he rummaged through his pockets and took out the cards. The first card in the deck facing him was the Chaos Warrior.
It seems that no matter what the situation is, as long as he wants help, this card will appear in front of him.
Chaos Warrior, you must have something to say to me?
His eyes gradually became firm.
I don't know what you want to say, but...
I have guessed it.
I should believe you, because of you, I am still alive today.
At least try again, just like before, work hard to study and learn, at least go to the nest and ask him why he betrayed himself and why he lied to himself.
As he thought this, his card flashed slightly.
He perked up.
"Then manager, let's get started! I can do it now!" He swallowed the food.
"Don't be impatient——"
Zhaoye shook his head.
He really didn't want to be shocked by You Zhou's physical death.
Besides...
There are also three different forces that are eyeing Ye Hu and are ready to make a move.
In particular, there seems to be an "inhuman" guy inside.
Chapter 24 Getting Started
The Swiss round has also ended.
The contestants left one after another.
Today's game is over, and tomorrow will begin the official duel using the duel arena, a real duel.
A few people from the light bulb workshop chatted for a while and prepared to go back to the workshop to tell the workshop manager about what they saw and heard today. A few people from the office grumbled a few words and it seemed that they didn't gain anything.
