Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1581 The Stolen Building Blocks
Yu Xuan stood on the top of the International Fantasy Society building, looking around.

Since the game was invited by the International Fantasy Society, Yu Xuan guessed that it should be in this area.

He had already activated the scanner mounted on the D-wheel and set the scanning program to "Elf Affinity" as the highest priority.

Youxuan's D-Wheel was produced by Taiyi and has a technological level far beyond this era, even beyond the dimension from which Youxuan came from. It can easily scan and lock onto high elf affinity talents within a city.

Yugi Muto is undoubtedly a duelist with a high affinity for Pokémon, and given that he also possesses the Millennium Puzzle, his role shouldn't be too difficult to define.

"Wow, I think I found it."

You Xuan mounted the D-wheel and flew through the air, looking down. With the help of the elves, his eyesight was excellent; he could see the ground from this height without any technological assistance.

Yu Xuan looked down and indeed seemed to see the legendary first Duel King, Yugi Muto.
Looks like he's pursuing a girl?
The game is indeed currently pursuing a girl. And it's that blonde loli Rebecca Hopkins who's been sticking to him like glue ever since they first met.

"Wait a minute, Rebecca!"

Yugi, a typical gamer, has always had poor stamina, and he's already out of breath chasing after Rebecca.

The game player, sweating profusely, exclaimed, "Wait a minute!"

How did things turn out like this?
This all started half an hour ago.

Seemingly having heard that the game had come to the United States, Rebecca's grandfather, Professor Hopkins, came to visit with his granddaughter. Professor Hopkins and the game's grandfather, Sugoroku Muto, were very good friends. It is said that Sugoroku was also an explorer in his youth, often visiting various ancient ruins, which is how he met Professor Arthur Hopkins, an archaeologist.

When we first met, everything seemed normal. Rebecca, as usual, immediately started the game with a dribble-charging-in move. Oh, right, the little girl isn't old enough to dribble yet, so it was more like a flat-chested charge.

Although it was hard and empty to the touch, the enticing fragrance still made the innocent young boy blush during the game. In particular, the little girl's constant use of "Darling" made his heart race. He desperately tried to pull his arms away from her chest, but the more he tried, the tighter she seemed to hold him.
Up to this point, everything has been pretty normal, basically following the usual rhythm of every encounter with Rebecca in the game. It's precisely because of this that the player has always been a little afraid of meeting Rebecca, feeling that this enthusiastic little girl is simply too overly enthusiastic for him to handle.

Then things started to take a strange turn.

"Darling~ You're so hard and in the way."

Game: "Hey, wait, Rebecca! You can't do that!"

So Rebecca leaned into the game and, without saying a word, took off the Millennium Block hanging around his neck.

The smile on the little girl's face vanished instantly, her expression changed in the blink of an eye, and she grabbed the Millennium Puzzle and ran away.

The game paused for two seconds before it realized something was wrong, and it hurriedly chased after her, shouting, "Wait! Rebecca! Stop fooling around, that's something very important!"

"."

And that's how things turned out.

You Xuan watched for a moment in the air, then adjusted the scanner on his D-Wheel and locked onto Rebecca.

Sure enough, the scanner showed slightly unusual energy fluctuation readings.

"Rebecca Hopkins, was she affected by some kind of unusual energy?" You Xuan pondered. "A dark duel?"

No, something seems different. Based on his extensive experience accumulating from years of playing various high-stakes card games, You Xuan could vaguely sense that what was interfering with Rebecca was not the power of the extraordinary side but rather the power of the technological side.

Similar to the ZONE faction, they used some kind of technology to simulate the effect of a dark duel.

Youxuan has only recently encountered a faction like this one that focuses on the technology side.

"The academy?" You Xuan had a rough idea.

The duelist from the Academy has manipulated Rebecca, and it seems that, given the current situation, they plan to use her to steal the Millennium Puzzle from the game.

But what does the Academy want the Millennium Puzzle for?
You Xuan was suspicious. After thinking for a moment, he lowered the altitude slightly and continued to follow.

Rebecca ran into a rusty old house, an abandoned dueling arena. It was a traditional dueling arena built jointly by Kaiba Corporation and International Fantasy Company, where duelists stood on a rising and lowering dueling platform.

Later, with the release of the portable dueling disk by Haima Group, this old-fashioned, lift-up dueling console was gradually phased out worldwide. Most of these old venues have been demolished, and the few remaining ones have been abandoned, no longer operated or maintained, and no longer open to the public.

The game chased after Rebecca, panting as they ran into the empty arena. Rebecca entered and headed straight for the back door, disappearing through it.

The game tried its best to catch up, but saw a person standing tall and proud, dressed in strange clothes and wearing a cloak, with his arms crossed, blocking the only exit with his body.

The game had to stop, and the player, panting, asked, "Who are you?"

"Yo, it's good to meet you, Yugi Muto."

The man looked down at him and gave him a cold, sinister laugh.

The game player asked warily, "Who are you? Did you use Rebecca? Is your target the Millennium Puzzle? Why?"

"Oh? Though you're a caveman, you're still worthy of being the Duel King; you grasp the situation quite quickly." The man chuckled. "Not bad. My name is Victor, and I've been sent to steal your Millennium Puzzle, Yugi Muto."

He shook his head, then revealed his duel disk, saying, "I've heard that the King doesn't easily refuse challenges. So, do you have the guts to accept my challenge? Or..."

He paused for a moment, then gave a cold laugh.

"Without the soul within the Millennium Puzzle, the fake Duel King, now just an empty shell, doesn't even have the courage to accept challenges anymore?"

In fact, if he could, Victor would prefer games with blocks. Only then could he truly experience the thrill of "defeating the original King of Duels."

After all, even that Pharaoh was only using an ancient deck that mostly consisted of ordinary cards, so he didn't think he would lose.

Well, since the orders were all in order to ensure everything went perfectly, he decided not to take any unnecessary risks, as he would be held responsible if anything went wrong. So Victor followed the plan, controlling someone familiar with the game to steal the Millennium Puzzle, and then taking matters into his own hands to deal with the remaining containers, defeating the opponent without a doubt.

That should satisfy Lord Zorc.

The game player gritted his teeth and gently clenched his fist.

"If you can't move forward without defeating me, then fine." Yugi raised his head, his usually gentle eyes hardening. "I accept this challenge!"
