Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Chapter 369 Bring a smile to the face with a duel

In front of the registration office for the KC Cup, the staff of the International Illusion Club squinted their glasses under the sunglasses, and checked the deck shown by the man in a neat suit. Basically, there was nothing wrong with it.

In the basic forty-card deck, except for one [Treasure from Heaven], there are no restricted cards, and no banned cards have been put in. In addition, there is a duel board that is one of the qualifications for the competition. Basically, this person is qualified for the competition. There shouldn't be any problems.

"Tan, Li Dou?" With jerky Japanese, he barely read the name written on the registration form by the man in the suit, and stamped a piece of paper. The staff looked suspiciously at Hayato, "I seem to have met you somewhere (I seem to have seen you somewhere)..."

"Hi Xiaolongbao sorry goodbye!"

The man in the suit had no intention of staying here and letting the staff recall who he really was. He quickly left the registration office after getting back his card group and the qualification certificate that had been stamped.

Although it was a little strange who the person who looked familiar was, but because there were still many people who wanted to register at the registration office, the staff quickly forgot about the person named "Dan Lidou".

The staff member felt the same way, and there was a pink-haired man in the queue for the competition.

'That guy just now looks like he's an East Asian, Dan Kuroto, Dan Rito? The pink-haired man has good hearing, and he heard the name the staff member just said.He can be sure that he has no impression of the name "Dan Lidou", but he, like the staff member, feels that he seems to have seen "Dan Lidou" somewhere.

However, he also didn't delve into it. He felt that it was probably because the appearance of East Asians was not much different in his eyes, so he felt that "Tan Lidou" looked familiar.

"Speaking of Yameruda, I remember you hate the Haima Group, why would you want to participate in this competition?"

Such a voice came from behind the pink-haired man.

"Hmph, think about it, Baron. I have only one goal from the beginning to the end, and that is Seto Kaiba. The prize money for the championship is a full 500 million. Although it is not US dollars but Japanese yen, I think Even if Seto Kaiba lost such a large sum of money, he would feel distressed."

Turning his head slightly, the pink-haired man saw two strangely dressed men chatting. The red-haired man's words revealed a kind of hatred for the Kaiba Group, and even specifically Seto Kaiba.

'Hmph, are you also not used to the Haima Group?But it's too ignorant, what is a mere 500 million yen? 'The pink-haired man is turning his head, not looking at the two of them.

In the winter, one wore only a thin round-neck shirt under an open windbreaker, and the other was wearing a studded armor that only people would wear at animation conventions. They were not normal people.

Let me, Chigfried von Schrader, chairman of the dignified Schrader Group, genius inventor, genius duelist, Europe's "undefeated nobleman", Chigfried von Schrader, be with such a bunch of low-brow countrymen Queue up to sign up, hateful Seto Kaiba!
"Samejima, Iemitsu?" "Yeah, It's me, sir."

A middle-aged East Asian man in front of Chigfried von Schrader finished his registration, and when he turned to leave, he smiled politely at Chigfried behind him, but Chigfried just smacked arrogantly. After dusting off his dark red suit, he walked to the registration office with a cold snort.

He is a nobleman, not everyone is qualified to greet him.

Picking up a pen and writing the pseudonym "Chigu Lloyd" on the registration form, Chigu Fried felt that he was a genius, "I can come up with the idea of ​​signing up for the competition under a false identity. My talent is really frightening!" '

"I actually came up with the idea of ​​signing up for the competition with a fake identity. What's frightening is my divine talent!" In a deserted corner, "Tan Lidou" proudly placed the [Death Stalker] in the card group. ] The card used to conceal his identity was removed, and replaced with a [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] card that would reveal his identity at a glance.

His figure was blurred for only a moment, and then, on his chest and waist, a hollow golden disc and a golden scepter emerged.

Raise your hand casually to lift up your drooping bangs, who else but Hayato?

After taking out his own card from the warehouse and adjusting it, Hayato showed a smug smile.Since Haima is unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous.Even the organizers themselves can participate, so it is reasonable for one of the champion's "prizes" to participate, right?

As for the fact that he is very easy to be recognized as the Duel King, it is not a problem at all. Since Malik was diagnosed as unable to play dark games, it is useless for him to hold the [Millennium Scepter]. He took over the [Millennium Scepter] in the name of rent.

The reason why Chigufried and the registration office staff felt that they had seen Hayato but had no impression of Hayato's appearance was the effect of the "Millennium Scepter".

As a symbol of the brain's thinking ability, the [Millennium Scepter] cannot "control the mind" as easily as the [Millennium Eye], but it only prevents others from comparing Hayato's appearance with the "Duel King Xiaolin" in their impression. Hayato" can be said to be a breeze.

Because the object of applying this ability is not other people's brains but Hayato's appearance, the number of people that can be affected at one time is quite considerable, even if Hayato is seen through a monitor.Of course, Hayato used his real identity when going through customs.

Many people came to the United States with him, including Honda, Kyoko, Jouchi, Yugi, Yuga, Guiping, and even Malik and Shuangliu.As for the transportation to come to the United States?Of course it's the new toy of the big dog Haima --- a jet plane in the shape of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. Unfortunately, it's not the kind that can cheat corpses when cards on the field are destroyed by effects.

Different from the previous sightseeing groups, among the passengers who arrived in the United States on the seahorse jet this time, in addition to the tool man Isino and his younger brothers, whether it was Malik, Yujia or the old man Shuangliu, even Kyoko, Honda and Kei Ping also intends to participate.

After all, 500 million yen is just a drop in the bucket for Haima Group, but it is not a small amount for ordinary people.Of course, Guiping and Honda have slightly different reasons for participating. Guiping intends to use "I want to participate" as an excuse to let my brother who is addicted to playing cards see how many things he has to deal with after holding a game.

And Honda is purely because he is idle and idle, why not play with his good friends and see how far he can go when he has never been in contact with duel monsters.

The old man Shuangliu came to the United States specially. On the one hand, he was a little itchy after not having a duel for so many years. On the one hand, he was also very interested in the champion's 500 million prize money. His old friend——Professor Arthur Hopkins invited him to meet him, saying that he had found a very interesting archaeological document and planned to share it with his old friend.

Just when Hayato had almost finished sorting out the deck, a voice came from behind him: "I didn't expect to meet a big man like you here, Hayato Kobayashi."

Turning his head, looking at the yellow-haired man in front of him, Hayato recalled slightly: "Are you, Xuanyuan Fourteen?"

"Rafiru, this is my real name. This is the second time we have met, Hayato Kobayashi." The yellow-haired man Rafiru looked at the crowd around him. He did not lower his voice, but others After hearing the famous name "Kobayashi Hayato" in duelist circles, no one noticed this side.

Looking at the green light on the necklace hanging on his chest, Rafilo's eyes skipped over the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] on Hayato's chest, and stayed on the [Millennium Scepter] at his waist: "It turns out So, is it the power of [Millennium Props]? It’s really amazing.”

"To each other, don't you also have a strange power that doesn't belong to you." Hayato looked at the necklace with a strange green light blooming on Laferu's chest.Is that the fragment of Olihagang?

"Then Mr. Laferu, what do you want to do after recognizing my true identity?"

"I just say hello to you, who is recognized as the strongest duelist so far, Hayato Kobayashi. Now is not the right time for me to reveal my purpose. After I win the KC Cup, I will say it at that time." My purpose is settled."

As Rafilu said, he was about to turn around and leave, just as he said, it seemed that he really just came to say hello.But at this moment, he saw two people walking towards him behind him.

"Hey Ameruda, there, there, I found Lafelu." After seeing Lafelu, the yellow hair wearing a rivet shoulder pad of the same style as Claude said carelessly to his companion next to him greeted.

"I'm not blind, Baron." Next to the guy named Baron, the red-haired man named Yameruda complained, and after only glancing at Lafeilu, his eyes were fixed on Lafei. Hayato next to Lu looked.

"I was a little uncertain just now. I thought it was my illusion. Isn't this the dueling king Hayato Kobayashi." While talking, Ameruda inserted his card group into the duel disk worn on his left wrist, With a fighting spirit on his face, "I will take this opportunity to take it from your hands——"

"What are you doing, Ameruda!"

To Hayato's surprise, Rafiel moved a step after seeing Ameruda's actions, and stood between Hayato and Ameruda, and asked sharply.

When he saw Ameruda inserting the card into the duel disk, Hayato was ready for the dark game.

Although his DP points fell to zero not long ago, with the help of the overconfident and enthusiastic citizens of the United States—referring to the robbery gangster who thought he was invincible in the field of poker—his DP points returned to four. digits.Although it is just a drop in the bucket to draw cards and open packs, it is enough to open dark games for a long time.

"Get out of the way, Rafiru." Ameruda looked at Rafiru who was standing in front of him, and said unhappily, "Anyway, sooner or later we will have to confront him, don't forget, Kobayashi Hayato In my hands I have--"

"Since you also know that it will happen 'someday', before the time comes, don't do unnecessary things, Yameruda!" Lafeilu has no intention of backing down, "Or do you plan to betray that My lord, destroy his plan!"

Hearing that Rafiru had already mentioned "that lord", Ameruda glanced at Hayato behind Rafeiru, snorted coldly, and reluctantly put away the opened duel board: "For, That lord, I will listen to you this time."

"You saved your life, Hayato Kobayashi. Hmph!" Saying that, Ameruda turned around, and left without waiting for Rafeel and the guy named Barong.

"Hey, Ameruda, don't walk so fast alone!"

Rafilu looked at Ameruda who left on his own and Baron who followed him. He had nothing to do with this most extreme companion, so he turned his head and looked at Hayato: "Then, there will be a period later, Hayato Kobayashi."

Looking at the three people who left, Hayato frowned, and took out three cards from the card box at his waist -- [Osiris' Sky Dragon], [Obelisk's Colossus], and [La's Winged Dragon].

Although Ameruda's words are always interrupted by Rafeel at critical moments, Hayato knows that their purpose is the card of the three phantom gods he holds.

Facing the appearance of the Three Musketeers of Doma—that is, the three of them—Lafelu, Ameruda, and Barong—Hayato was surprised, but also a little puzzled about what Dazi behind them was planning. .

However, the boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge, and Hayato feels that he should not think so much in advance now, and just do the things in front of him first.Coincidentally, a nearby radio also started broadcasting a report: "No. 114514, Dan Kuroto, Please go to challenge arena 4."

"No. 114514, contestant Tan Lidou, please go to the fourth ring."

Now it is the audition stage of the KC Cup. Freely registered contestants enter the queuing channel after registering and entering their data into the system. After waiting for a certain period of time, the system will automatically arrange for contestants with close points to compete in a duel. The winner gets one point, the loser deducts one point, and if the points are negative, they will be directly eliminated and cannot compete again.

After the three-day audition, the 64 duelists with the highest points will be promoted to participate in the official competition. Therefore, the later you sign up, the lower the probability of being shortlisted. An exaggerated team comparable to the CP exhibition was formed.

When Hayato came to the No. [-] ring, he found that his opponent was already here, and there seemed to be many fans of the opponent around, calling his name:

"DD!" "DD!" "DD!"

If it weren't for the fanatical expressions on the faces of the audience around him, just listening to the pronunciation of "DD", Hayato might have thought that the audience was actually scolding the man with glasses on the field as a younger brother.

Watching Hayato walk up to the duel stage step by step, the "brother" who was enjoying the cheers of the audience turned his head and found that this guy named "Dan Rito" was just a little tall kid, and couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile .

"It's so strange, you seem familiar, kid? Well, it doesn't matter, because you are about to face defeat, and I, DD will defeat you!"

"DD? I haven't heard of it." Hayato felt as if he had heard this name somewhere, probably [DD Crow]?How could someone be called "Different Dimension"?
"I haven't even heard of my DD name, hey, I don't seem to be in the circle, I really don't know why I match up with a guy of your level." DD raised his chin arrogantly, stretched out Out of five fingers, "In five rounds, finish you and win my next game in a row!"

"Duel!" X2
【"Tan Li Dou": 4000LP】

[DD: 4000LP]

"I'll take the first strike, draw a card!" DD took the initiative and drew a card first.After seeing the card he drew, he couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face.

"Activate the magic card [Unpredictable], because there are no monsters on the field, I can special summon a normal monster below level [-] from my deck." Play a card in hand, DD from your own card A card was retrieved from the group and summoned, "I special summon [Death Stalker]!"

Hayato on the field didn't feel anything yet, but the audience outside the field became excited.

"Here it is [Death Stalker]!"

"I heard that it is the ace monster card that the Duel King started using very early!"

"As expected of Mr. DD, who has risen rapidly in the professional dueling world!"

Although Hayato hid his identity, the duel king Hayato was standing here, but the audience fanatically followed another duelist who used the card Hayato had used, which was really full of drama.

【Death Stalker】【3☆/Darkness】

【Warrior/Normal】

[900/800]

"That brat named Dan Lidou over there, looking at your expression, it seems that you don't care much about this [Death Stalker]?" DD noticed the helplessness in Hayato's eyes, and said, "Let me teach you to mature The dueling style of professional duelists is better."

"Any monsters have their own unique functions!" While talking, DD played a card in his hand, "Magic card [bonds of compatriots]!"

"I pay my 2000 Life Points, and this can only be activated by targeting 1 level [-] or lower monster on my field. Two monsters with the same race, attribute, and level as that monster, but with different card names from me Special Summon in the card group!"

"Come out, [Unknown Soldier of Evil], [Female Night Demon Warrior]!"

[DD: 4000→2000LP]

As DD squandered half of his basic points arrogantly, after [Death Stalker] on his field, two level 3 monsters of the dark attribute and warrior type were specially summoned.

【Unknown Soldier of Evil】【3☆/Darkness】

【Warrior/Normal】

[1000/500]

【Female Night Demon Warrior】【3☆/Darkness】

【Warrior/Normal】

[900/700]

To be honest, just now DD used [Unpredictable] to special summon [Death Stalker], and Hayato can somewhat understand it as he wants to use [Death Stalker] as a backing board to summon monsters, but spent a full 2000 points Just to summon two more white boards on the field, Hayato really didn't understand this operation.

But DD didn't see Hayato's troubles, but mistakenly thought that this young kid was surprised by his gorgeous operation: "Although after activating [Binding of Compatriots], I can no longer perform special summons until the end of the round. .However, I haven’t performed an advanced summon this round yet.”

"Take the [Female Night Demon Warrior] and [Unknown Evil Warrior] on my field as sacrifices, and the superior summons [Chimera Manticore]!"

As the two monsters were liberated, the rare card [Chimera Manticore] that Masaji Manjo had used was summoned.At the same time, Hayato also noticed that the man named DD had a somewhat displeased expression on his face when he summoned the [Chimera Manticore].

It's not out of disgust, it's more like a kind of boxing machine that wants to hit the street with a fist but finds that the fist is stopped before it lands on the boxing machine. Seeing how strong I am, but being unable to exert my strength due to various reasons is uncomfortable.

【Chimera Manticore】【8☆/Land】

【Beast/Effect】

[2800/2500]

Hayato also knows the effect of [Chimera Manticore], it is nothing more than in the preparation stage of the next turn of DD, the effect of the monster released due to the superior summon of [Chimera Manticore] is nullified, and then it is special from the graveyard. It's just a summoning, not weak but not very strong either.

Has the ability to special summon three monsters for one round and then release them to summon powerful monsters. Seriously, if the three phantom gods are not in the hands of Hayato at the moment, he really thinks that this guy named DD is actually hiding the power of summoning gods .

Of course, the monsters summoned by liberating three monsters are not only god cards, the [Lightning Warrior-Gilford] in the city can also be specially summoned by liberating three monsters.In addition to this, [Phantom King Rabiel] summoned by liberating the three demons, and the three evil gods in the comic world of "Yu-Gi-Oh" are also summoned by liberating three monsters.

Then the problem is coming.

Hayato looked at DD whose displeasure had been suppressed, and narrowed his eyes slightly.He remembered that there was another monster that could be summoned by liberating three monsters, and he also remembered where he had heard the name of DD.

"Activate the magic card [Price of Horse Bone], send [Death Stalker] on my field to the graveyard, I draw two cards from the deck, and then I activate the continuous magic card [Advanced Evolution Zone]." DD He didn't notice that Hayato's eyes looking at him gradually became dangerous, but he proudly activated a card, "Cover two cards in hand, my turn is over."

"At the same time, because I have performed an advanced summon this round, the effect of [Advanced Evolution Zone] will be activated at the end of the stage." DD pointed to the illusory grid that appeared under his feet, "Based on the number of monsters released during my advanced summon this round , I can activate different effects."

"In the case of two or more monsters, I can choose to destroy a cover card on your field, and draw a card. Since you have no cover card, I draw a card."

[DD: 2000LP, hand card 3→4]

【Chimeric Manticore】【ATK2800】

【Advanced Evolution Zone】【Cover Card】X2
In one round, summon a [Chimera Manticore] with an attack power of 2800 on the field, activate a fairly powerful sticker [Advanced Evolution Zone], cover two cover cards, and there will be two more in the graveyard in the next round. Only the monster will be resurrected, and the price it costs is only two cards in hand and 2000 basic points. Hayato reluctantly admits that this guy named DD still has a certain strength.

It's just that good strength doesn't mean good character. After all, the combination of virtue and art is only a minority, and international superstars occasionally get zero-sugar cereal, right?

If this guy named DD is indeed the guy in Hayato's memory, Hayato feels that it shouldn't be too much for him to be a little more serious in the next duel.

A duel or something will bring "howling" to people, won't it?
"Boy, it's your turn." DD looked at Hayato, stretched out his palm arrogantly, his thumb slightly bent, "There are still four rounds left before your complete defeat."

"The duelist who gives the countdown in advance and declares himself victorious usually ends up miserable." Hayato said that he definitely didn't point to Kairyo who disappeared after the duel city, "But since you are urging me , then. My turn, draw a card!"

Taking out the card, Hayato looked at the [Chimeric Manticore] on the DD field, and commented pretentiously: "If I remember correctly, [Chimeric Manticore] has the ability to be summoned by the superior, and the next The ability to special summon sacrifices during the preparation stage? It’s a very good card.”

"The attack power and defense power are quite balanced, the level is also noble 8☆, and the shape is also very handsome, combining the wildness of animals, the domineering power of monsters and the beauty of machinery." As he spoke, Hayato showed a mysterious smile, " I personally think that [Chimeric Manticore] is not only suitable for standing, it should also be a good choice for food?"

"So, it's called DD, right? I'm going to release the [Chimera Manticore] on your field, and give you this powerful monster!"

"What!?" DD raised his eyebrows, with a surprised expression on his face, "Take my monster as a sacrifice?!"

The [Chimeric Manticore] on the DD field suddenly looked like a rabbit being targeted by a lion. Although no danger was found, the sixth sense told it that it was noticed by some kind of terrifying predator. Trembling because of fear, even wanting to leave its current location in panic.

But almost when it finally overcame its fear and took a step forward, the ground suddenly cracked, and a huge sea turtle with a terrifying size broke out from the ground, rushing into the air along with the flood, and the place where the [Chimeric Manticore] was located The location is so coincidental that it is in the mouth of a giant sea turtle, and it was swallowed and turned into turtle food.

Seeing the appearance of the giant sea turtle, many of the onlookers who knew about Japanese special photography exclaimed:
"A giant sea turtle that can fly?!"

"Gamera, it's Gamera!"

"Monsters have come to the real world!"

"It's not Gamera, it's Gamesiela!" Seeing the appearance of the giant sea turtle, the onlookers were quite frightened, but Hayato was quite excited, "Ichiba, the most frightening thing is really my divine talent Da, ho ha ha ha!"

The appearance of the giant sea turtle - "Gamesielle" also startled DD, he almost dropped the duel disk and turned to run away, but when he noticed that the [Chimera Manticore] card on his duel disk was unknown When the [Sea Turtle Bad Beast - Gamesiel] appeared instead, he realized that this huge monster was also a duel monster.

Sure enough, after jumping up and attracting the attention of most people, the [Sea Turtle Bad Beast-Gamesielle] that ate a large piece of iron did not go around destroying like the monster in the special film. He just stayed on DD's court with his hands on his cheeks.

【Sea Turtle Bad Beast-Gamesiere】【8☆/Water】

【Aqua/Effect】

[2200/3000]

"The effect of [Sea Turtle Bad Beast - Gamesiel] is that it can be specially summoned from my hand to the opponent's field by releasing a monster on the opponent's field." Hayato explained, "As a huge monster [Bad Beast], its negative effect is that there can only be one [Bad Beast] on one side's field."

DD was in a very upset mood, because he originally planned to use the effect of [Chimera Manticore] and the resurrected two mortal bones as sacrifices in the next round, and summoned [Lightning Warrior-Gilford] in his hand to clear The monsters that may exist on Hayato's field, and then use the equipment cards in the hand to strengthen its attack power to eliminate Hayato in one go.

But now, [Chimeric Manticore] has turned into turtle food, and the effect of resurrecting the sacrifice from the cemetery requires the presence of [Chimeric Manticore], his plan has failed, and he is really a little frustrated.

At the same time, he also noticed the key words in Hayato's words: "You said, one side?"

He glanced at [Sea Turtle Bad Beast - Gamesiel] that appeared on his field.The huge size brings a defense power of up to 3000 points, and a full level of 8☆.For a monster of this level to be summoned normally, two monsters are needed. DD doesn't think that a little-known kid can have this kind of strength.

"Yeah, because you have also seen that the [Bad Beast] is very large. Animals of similar size in nature will fight for each other when they meet, and the [Bad Beast] is the same." Hayato said, pulling out a A card, "Speaking of which, do you believe in gravity?"

"There is an invisible gravitational force between matter and matter, which attracts each other. This is the so-called 'universal gravitation'. It is precisely because of this that [Bad Beast] and [Bad Beast] will attract each other!"

"Because you have [Sea Turtle Bad Beast - Gamesiel] on your field, I can special summon [Raging Flame Bad Beast - Togolan] from my hand!"

Under the surface of the water summoned by [Sea Turtle Bad Beast-Gamesiele], a red light lit up, accompanied by a roar, and a giant dragon beast with huge wings, like a tyrannosaurus rex, followed closely behind [Sea Turtle Bad Beast] ] Appeared on the stage, exhaling the hot red lotus breath from his mouth, showing the wind of the king!
【Raging Flame Beast-Togolan】【8☆/Flame】

【Dinosaurs/Effect】

[3000/1200]

DD saw the appearance of [Raging Flame Beast - Togolan], but showed a proud expression: "You've been fooled, brat, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for!"

"Activate my cover card, [Sticky Cave], which can only be activated when you successfully summon, reverse summon, or special summon the monster. As long as the monster exists on the field, its original attack power will be reduced to half!"

DD proudly looked at the huge dinosaur monster, intending to witness the embarrassment of the monster falling into the trap, but before the [Sticky Hole] he activated had time to take effect, there was a red light from Hayato's hand Fly out, and cover back the [sticky hole] he opened? !
"Mu Da, activate [Red Restart] from my hand, your trap activation will be invalid!" Hayato did not intend to give DD a pleasant duel experience, proudly put his hands on his hips, "This is my divine talent!"
