Yu-Gi-Oh!: The mainstream is out, and the locals are crying

Chapter 162 Intelligence: Even a flash of sword has its limits!
"I chose to leave one covered card, except for the other cards on the inside side."

You Ye made his choice with a smile, leaving the remnant of his own counterattack on the field.

"Senior, have you noticed that I am a double-horned man?"

After the results of the battle were settled, it was time for the second main phase, and Ren Lingyi asked softly.

"No, I just thought of this possibility, and then I made a countermeasure based on the fact that you might be a Shuang Jie Heng." You Ye replied with a smile.

"It's amazing to think of this possibility." Ren Lingyi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The card "The Victory or Defeation" has only been leaked from the Bai family in the last one or two months. Many people have been killed by it when they first saw it. Although some people have not been killed by it when they first saw it, they knew the effect and responded very hastily.

When You Ye faced her double attacks, he only saw one possibility and used the best solution.

"I discard the Dodo Friend, Howaros, to activate its effect, then Face One, declaring the turn over."

At this point, Ren Lingyi abandoned the hand pit and announced the end of the round.

"Wait, I activated the effect of the hand card Red Mermaid during your Main Phase 2, she was Special Summoned, and I banished the Echo from the Graveyard."

Seeing her cover the card to announce the end of the round, You Ye spoke.

There are four cards in total in the hand. After losing the hand pit, there is one open card for the victory or defeat, and two hidden cards. Now one is covered, and the other two are hand cards. The covered card is most likely the countermeasure card for the next round.

And seeing how confident she is about this hidden card, she doesn't seem to give up at all, which means that the hidden card she puts on the table and the hand trap in her hand are her confidence.

Thinking of this, You Ye decided to take action.

"The effect of the successful special recruit of Red Mermaid is stacked 3. The cards I stacked are Little Mermaid and Home Trap Claw Sound. The two start to chain themselves. I choose Claw Sound to recover the Home monster in the graveyard c1, and Little Mermaid's fusion effect c2."

Effects are processed last in the game and arrive first in the game: the effect of c2 Little Mermaid is merged with the Rusalka Mermaid and Renoheart in the graveyard to become Kaledoheart; the effect of c1 Claw Sound recycles the Merlo Mermaid in the graveyard and adds it to the hand.

"The effect of Kaledo Heart targets the face-down card on your field and returns it to the deck!"

The effect of Kaldorhart was successfully activated, and the hidden card that Ren Lingyi had placed was returned to the deck.

Seeing his card being bounced back into the deck, Ren Lingyi was not anxious at all, but instead smiled.

"Huh, it seems that I am the better fighter in this fight!"

"This time, I finally predicted what the senior predicted!"

"Oh? Did you do this on purpose?"

"You guessed that I would make 2 moves in the main phase, and then you deliberately put the card you targeted in your hand to make me bounce back? And you also let me draw an extra card?"

Seeing his expression, You Ye stroked his chin and thought.

"Yes!"

Ren Lingyi nodded, his eyes full of excitement.

If I win this game, I will have a real chance to compete with You Ye.

As for losing the bet? You can only lose the bet. After three cards, the result will be similar. It is better to bet with one card to have a better chance of winning!
"Your information is indeed quite interesting, Sky Striker. If it weren't for my Sezhi restricting magic, it would be hard to say."

You Ye made a comment.

Double G, egg, double Jie, if I just play randomly, from the current point of view, I can probably win, but it will probably be a miserable victory!

"With the praise from my senior, Hai Kui and I's preparations for the past month have not been in vain."

Hearing You Ye's praise, Ren Lingyi had an excited smile on his face.

"Let's get started. I'm looking forward to what your secret weapon is."

Since it is still the main stage 2 and has not yet reached the end stage, Ren Lingyi can still cover the card.

"I cover 3, the round is over. It's time for the senior."

Ren Lingyi put down the three cards in his hand and chose to end the round.

"My turn, draw a card."

Yuya looked at her three backfield cards and drew a card.

"Anything going on during the card drawing and preparation phase?"

After drawing the cards, You Ye glanced at the cards in his hand and looked at Ren Lingyi for questions.

"No." Ren Lingyi shook his head.

"My main phase one, I usually summon a Merlo Merman and then stack three."

"When I stack three, I get the Ancient Soldier, and then I activate the Ancient Soldier's effect and we both stack five!"

"I stack five to Ancient Guard, and the Siren Mermaid effect starts to chain itself. I choose to stack the graveyard effect from c1 Ancient Guard; c2 Siren Mermaid Fusion effect, c3 Redoheart's Induced effect, and there is a Pearl Tear Elegy monster effect to send to the graveyard to take the target bullet, and one of the two cards on the back cover is activated as the target!"

Seeing You Ye starting to dismantle her backcourt, Ren Lingyi smiled at this time.

"I chain C4 to open the Quick Attack Magic [Sky Striker Mecha - Shark Cannon] that is targeted by the effect of Senior Caledon Heart. If there are no monsters in my Main Monster Zone, I can only activate it by targeting 1 monster in the opponent's Graveyard. Exclude that monster."

"Due to the effect of Senior Ancient Vanguard, I now have 3 Magic Cards in my Graveyard, so I can activate a follow-up effect. I can Special Summon that monster to my side of the field without banishing it. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack. I activate this effect targeting the Siren Mermaid in Senior's Graveyard!"

"Oh? You stacked three spells through the effect of my Ancient Outpost, and then prevented the fusion effect of the Siren Mermaid and the Graveyard Bull Monster? Good idea, but how can you win if you prevent a fusion and get one of my subordinates against my upcoming stack of 10?"

Seeing this card, You Ye’s smile remained on his face.

There was no God Return Deck to stop him in his graveyard, but when he piled up Ancient Guards he could immediately pile up to 10. He was not even interested in launching a counterattack against this bull monster that did not affect the overall situation, so he let it pass.

Seeing that You Ye let her pass, Ren Lingyi gritted her teeth and spoke again.

"I chain the Chain Field at c5 and cast the Quick-Attack Spell [Sky Striker Mecha – Black Widow Anchor]. If there are no monsters in your Main Monster Zone, you can activate this by targeting 1 Effect Monster on the field. The effect of that monster is negated until the End Phase. After that, if there are 3 or more Spell Cards in your Graveyard, you can gain control of that monster until the End Phase. I activate this by targeting the Caledon Heart on my predecessor's field!"

After saying that, she looked at You Ye again, as if waiting for You Ye to use his backcourt main force to counterattack.

However, You Ye smiled faintly, as if he was not afraid that Kaledohart would be driven away by the cow, and passed by again.

Ren Lingyi has done his best, but it's a pity.

Her own T1 Chroma Proclamation magic was too damaging to Sky Striker and it was almost the last straw.

Now all he needs to do is sit back and wait for the 'rabbit' to come to his door.

"You really don't know how to fight back?"

Ren Lingyi whispered, not surprised in his heart, although he didn't say it, but he had no intention of admitting defeat, which clearly meant he had a trump card, a trump card that could potentially turn the tables.

Unless he is forced to do so, You Ye will definitely let himself counterattack.

This time, the effect of the Ancient Guard is used to stack 10 directly. The cards stacked up are not % effective, but they are not far from it.

At that time, God will recover the instigation of the cemetery, and then Narcissus will retrieve the trump card that her family had played against her, and the result will be the same.

Thinking of this, Ren Lingyi made up her mind and revealed her last trump card.

"I chain open the Continuous Trap [Macrocosmos] with C6. As long as this card exists in the Spell & Trap Zone, cards sent to the Graveyard will not go to the Graveyard but will be banished."

At this moment, Ren Lingyi opened the face-down card that he had saved in the last round.

"So it's the big universe. No wonder I think we have a chance of winning."

Seeing Ren Lingyi opening the universe, You Ye said with a smile.

Indeed, if the stack of 10 eats the universe this time, the result is hard to predict.

"Because this time the Ancient Guards will have 10 of the seniors' graveyard resources, which will completely widen the resource gap. We may not have any chance at all."

Ren Lingyi answered helplessly. If possible, she certainly didn't want to open the universe in advance and force the enemy to counterattack. Unfortunately, she didn't have this choice.

"Indeed, I do want to give the strength of the macrocosm."

Since the universe was already open, You Ye naturally did not take it lightly. He placed his hand directly on Gai Fang's counterattack, and then spoke.

"I chain-covered my home trap Remnant at C7, sending the value-added G in my hand to the graveyard, thus negating your Cosmo activation and returning it to the deck."

Seeing You Ye launch a counterattack, Ren Lingyi looked serious, his eyes focused on the effect calculation.

As long as she survives this round, in the next round, her next draw will be a designated draw, and she can draw the Strong and Greedy Pot.

Make the final gamble by forcing the greedy pot!

Compared to her seriousness, You Ye's expression was very calm. The card he wanted was already in the cemetery.

Later, you just need to stack one of the fish that can activate the fusion effect, and the duel is over.

Effects that come last and arrive first are handled: c7's Home Trap Reaction's effect is activated successfully, and the Macroscopy is returned to the deck; c6 Sky Striker Mecha - Black Widow Anchor is activated successfully, Kal'do Heart's effect is invalid, and Ren Lingyi gains control of this turn; c5 Sky Striker Mecha - Tiger Shark Cannon's effect is activated successfully, Special Summoning the Siren Mermaid from the Graveyard; c4 Kal'do Heart's effect is invalid; c3 Kal'do Heart's effect is invalid; c2 Siren Mermaid's Fusion loses its fusion target and fails to activate; c1 Ancient Guard's effect causes both sides to stack five, and then Youye stacks five again.

"Your best friend is quite interesting. If it weren't for your brother-in-law who had discovered the hidden card long ago, you would have had a good chance of winning."

Seeing that the 7-chain on the field had ended, Shut-Sky Moon slowly spoke.

If You Ye hadn't guessed correctly and launched a counterattack in advance, this duel might have been suspenseful because of the existence of the universe.

"Yes. If the Ancient Guard stack 10 fails, with the resources in Ye's cemetery, it will definitely not be able to complete the kill. It seems that what Ye said is right. Other human duelists are also improving. We can't be completely reckless just because we are strong."

The water nymph spoke at night, her beautiful eyes filled with thoughts.

A human duelist who is not even at the king level is so difficult to deal with. How strong must a king level duelist be?
The other elves nodded silently, agreeing with Narcissus' words.

After hearing her words, Hai Kui, who had a gloomy face, went blank.

Wasn't this duel always led by You Ye? From the beginning till now, she had been scheming against her best friend Ren Lingyi step by step, and had pushed Ren Lingyi into the final desperate situation without any suspense.

What does it mean when they look like they have met a respectable opponent?
A respectable opponent, with both sides being evenly matched, right?

It's a very accurate calculation. Is this a respectable opponent?
However, neither Youye who was in the duel nor the elves beside her paid any attention to her.

You Ye, who was in the duel, confirmed the graveyard after pile 10, looked at Ren Lingyi and said, "It looks like the duel is over."

Ren Lingyi remained silent as she looked at the cards in You Ye's graveyard. Although she didn't know what You Ye was going to do, not counting the two gods, the resources that directly brought the field value this round included the Bulb, the Death Dragon, the Red Mermaid, and two fish without the fusion effect.

With such a huge amount of resources, it would be difficult for her to win.

Seeing that she didn't deny it and wasn't ready to surrender, You Ye wasn't going to waste time.

"I activate the effects of the graveyard Merlot and the graveyard Little Mermaid to chain, c2 Little Mermaid c1 Merlot Mermaid; c2 Little Mermaid's newly stacked Siren Mermaid fuses with the Narcissus Mermaid; then c1 Merlot Mermaid fuses with the graveyard Red Mermaid to form the second Narcissus Mermaid, and the Narcissus Mermaid's effect retrieves the Red Mermaid and adds it to my hand."

"The effect of Graveyard Bulb is activated. The top card of the deck is sent to the Graveyard, and then Special Summoned."

"I will use the Level 1 Coordination Bulb and Level 5 Narcissus Mermaid*2 to synchronize and summon the Level 11 Telekinetic Ultimate Executioner!"

"Then, using the effect of the Graveyard Death Desire Dragon, I pay half my life points and Special Summon Mello as the target."

Deathdragon Level: 7 → 5
"I will then activate the effect of Telekinesis Ultimate Executioner, paying 1000 LP to target the Merlot Mermaid on my field and the Caledorheart on your field, banishing them!"

Night Tour LP: 8000 → 2500
"Entering the battle phase, the Executioner's effect is activated at this time, increasing the attack power of our LP difference!" Telekinesis Ultimate Executioner ATK: 3500→9000!

"I use the Red Mermaid to attack the Siren Mermaid on your field!"

"Then the telekinetic Ultimate Executioner attacks directly!"

As the direct attack passes, Ren Lingyi's LP: 8000→0
After the duel, Ren Lingyi lowered his head and left the duel arena. He walked to Haikui on the viewing platform with a sad face, as if he had lost everything.

"I lost."

"It's okay. You tried your best and did what you could. It was the senior who went beyond the standard."

Hai Kui hugged Ren Lingyi and comforted her.

Looking at Ren Lingyi's eyes were full of helplessness, regret, and sadness.

"Well, you tried your best."

"Any Sky Striker I've encountered before would have surrendered as soon as the Color Declaration Magic passed."

"You managed to hold out for two more rounds of the game, which is impressive."

You Ye also walked to the viewing platform, looked at the two women in his arms, and spoke slowly.

He was not bragging when he said this, in the duels before the time travel, any Flash Striker Duelist who encountered the Color Sealing Magic and his opponent was a nearly complete form of the Dark Pearl Tears, and did not surrender, was already very courageous.

Of course, the duelists before the time travel did not have a fixed draw. If they really faced Zhu Lei, the big cosmic man would definitely take the initiative, occupying the advantage from the beginning and not giving Sezhi a chance to appear.

"Thank you for your comfort, senior."

Ren Lingyi and Haikui separated and bowed their heads in gratitude.

Having said that, the sadness on the faces of the two women, especially Ren Lingyi, did not disappear at all.

"Whoo~"

Seeing this, Hai Kui took a long breath, looked at You Ye and said slowly: "After that, please inform the Inspection Bureau and the Duel Association. We will take our leave."

As she said this, she prepared to pull Anemone away.

Their status is not equal to You Ye's to begin with, and You Ye has given them enough opportunities by agreeing to the conditions.

Now they lost the duel because they didn't seize the opportunity. This is their own problem.

"Do you want to become stronger?"

Looking at the two women who were about to leave, You Ye asked.

"Yes. That's why I made the request just now."

The two women paused slightly, and Hai Kui turned around and looked at You Ye to answer.

Ren Lingyi can also rely on intelligence to fight back with many powerful duelists.

What about her? It was difficult to break through the back attack, and the first attack was solved in seconds. After reaching the king level, the winning rate dropped to less than 5%!

In the end, he could only hide in the master duel to fight and retain the last bit of pitiful self-esteem.

"I can give you a chance to become a non-staff member of my store. Whether you can become a regular employee depends on you. Whether you can become a regular employee or not also depends on you."

You Ye looked at the two of them and said.

In fact, he was going to give them both an electronic world structure as an apology. Whether they could put it together depended entirely on their own luck.

But I have a feeling that if he has good talent, I can take him in as a servant.

Considering that accepting or not accepting them had no essential impact on him, he decided to give the two of them a chance to be non-staff employees.

If necessary in the future, let them become regular employees. There is no need. I can learn a lot in the store during this period of time, so this is my apology.

When they heard You Ye speak, the sad expressions of the two girls suddenly disappeared, especially Ren Lingyi, whose eyes sparkled.

The two women looked at each other and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you for taking me in, sir."

Non-staff members are also members of the night shop, and this identity has already achieved their goal.

"Do your best. If you can become a regular employee, I can give you a deck construction for other fields except the Pearl Tears field."

You Ye smiled and prepared to leave.

"Previous, no, can your Excellency wait?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Anemone shouted from the side.

"Anything else?" You Ye looked at her.

"You probably don't know who your opponent will be in tomorrow's national competition, right?" Haikui said.

"Yes." You Ye did not deny that this was the reason why he came to the store.

Before going to the Elf World, he had thought that he would most likely stay there for nearly a month, so he had already handed over the information collection to Ouyang Yanyan.

Including the information given by the Bai family, they were also asked to temporarily summarize it for Ouyang Yanyan.

"I don't know the information about your other opponents, sir, but I am very interested in your opponent in the first game of the world championship."

"The day after the banquet, he asked me, saying that if I look for you and want to duel with you, I can give you your deck information in exchange for some benefits. If you use Flash of Heat in the duel, and give him the card information, the benefits he gives will be increased tenfold."

"Don't worry, sir. I have decided to cut off contact with him and will not reveal any information."

Haikui spoke respectfully from the side.

"So interested in the Flash of Heat? Duelists related to the Hope Field?"

Instead of telling her the information or not, You Ye looked at her with interest and asked who was looking for her.

"Yes. He is the head of the Hope Family, one of the five major families in contemporary Japan, and a top-level King Road Duelist."

"It seems that no one in their family has obtained the card you mentioned, and they don't even know the existence of the card. They have been asking about it for the past month and have contacted me every two days. It is obvious that they are trying to get specific information from you and then copy it using the rules."

Seeing that Youye was interested, Haikui told him all the information she had.

"Is that all?"

You Ye lost interest when he heard this.

If the people of the Hope family are also short-sighted, they might target these self-proclaimed powerful families.

Every time their house is raided, no, it’s these families that target me, I can get a pretty good wave of gold coins.

These gold coins are of no use to him, they can only expand his card pool a little.

However, other people in the store were interested, such as Yu Huo. His family consumed a lot of resources and became stronger.

Others also have some feelings. After all, not everyone is like him, who has little interest in this human world and is not prepared to stay in this human world for a long time.

He understood this, and shared the unused resources equally among them.

"Dong Yu, take them down and teach them about Natural Horus. Then leave the store reception and other matters to them temporarily. Finally, notify Yanyan to come over."

Seeing that Hai Kui had already told everything he knew, You Ye said to Dong Yu beside him.

"Ok."

Dong Yu nodded and walked in front. Hai Kui and the other two girls also knew that there was nothing for them to do, so they bowed slightly to You Ye and left.

In less than three minutes, Ouyang Yanyan arrived.

"Hello, sir." Ouyang Yanyan bowed and greeted You Ye who was sitting in the audience.

"No need for formalities. Just tell me what happened recently." You Ye waved his hand and asked.

Ouyang Yanyan started talking immediately.

"First of all, there are a lot of King-level Duelists in your World Championship this year, and there are even some King-level Duelists from the old era participating."

"These people are participating in this world competition to prove their strength and gain your recognition, or simply to compete with you and defeat you."

"The former is that since you have so many powerful fields, you are willing to share the powerful field construction and play method like Tianbei Dragon. I think you have other field constructions in your hands. I want to get your recognition from the duel and become a servant like me."

"The latter is even simpler. Your dueling prowess is obvious to all. Without considering the bond, Lord Aid King has also publicly admitted that he is not as good as you. Therefore, although you are at the Heaven level, you have been recognized by the dueling world as the best person under the King level. For this title, many King level duels of the old era, as well as some self-proclaimed powerful King Road duels, are ready to defeat you in this competition and make a name for themselves."

"So boring?"

Before You Ye could say anything, Bisuo Tianzhiyue spoke with great disgust.

This time You Ye brought her with him just in case. If anyone was to target him, how could she, a divine elf, not find him out?
But after Ouyang Yanyan said this, everything was normal? Then what should I do?
"Because most of the major forces know that Lord Youye has obtained godhood."

"In addition, there is news that you have a good relationship with the Fantasy Void God. With your elf background and your own strength, and the information we got from the Bai family, many family forces are unwilling to do anything to you unless they have no choice."

Seeing that Bisuotian Zhiyue was unhappy, Ouyang Yanyan immediately explained.

As the person who had served You Ye the longest, she understood very well that in You Ye's mind, servants like them could not compare with the elf like him.

"Brother-in-law still needs to rely on his relationship with the Fantasy Void God? If my sister doesn't show up, will these humans be unable to distinguish between the big and small kings?"

After listening to Ouyang Yanyan's explanation, Tian Zhiyue became even more unhappy.

Dreamy God of the Sky is powerful, the supreme god of a world, and her sister’s status was not as high as his at the beginning.

However, her sister cleaned up the mess of the underworld for countless years and finally became the only true god of the underworld, and even the rules had to give her some face.

Can the Fantasy God of Xutian compare to him?

"Indeed. Not to mention that I don't need to borrow the elves behind me, even if I do, I'll use my wife's."

Youye nodded in agreement.

After listening to You Ye and Bisuo Tian Zhiyue's words, Ouyang Yanyan chose to remain silent.

The main reason is that she has no way to answer the question, and she dares not to answer it. She is just a tool who knows what to say.

"Is there any other news? If so, please continue." After a few seconds, You Ye spoke.

"An adult knows about a top force that may change hands in the next six months." Ouyang Yanyan thought for a moment and spoke.

"Gambler?" You Ye asked back.

"Yes." Ouyang Yanyan nodded, and then continued: "The Gamblers have been targeted by the Avel family, the strongest family on the Stars and Stripes side, and have been targeted in various ways in the past month. According to the news from the Duel Association, the Gamblers organization should disappear in less than a month."
