Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 28 Skip

Chapter 28 Skip
I believe most people should have come across such a game:
The narrative background seems grand and magnificent, but upon closer inspection, it is nothing more than using events of varying sizes to force the protagonist to progress without any choice.

The game content and gameplay seem diverse, but they are just the same old three things in a new package.

They often lack innovation and have a strong sense of déjà vu. The stereotyped content and processes are like cans produced on a factory assembly line.

And now, You Ming felt like he was playing a canned RPG game in another world based on Yu-Gi-Oh!

No, it should be said that he is actually playing a game now. After all, it has a name:
Duel in Another Dimension: Legend of the Crimson Immortal

You see, even the series title is there, and the subtitle is clear as day.

"Ugh."

After moving his eyes away from the [Career Script] named by the system, You Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, he didn't really mean to criticize anything.

Canned games can be very fun. Regardless of whether they are worth playing a second time, if you can enjoy them the first time and immerse yourself in playing them once, then they are undoubtedly a good game.

But unfortunately, the "game" he is playing now is not of high quality, and it can even be said that it is full of various anti-human flaws from the beginning.

"The bald guy who guides the show at the beginning doesn't speak human language, only riddles."

"Without any preparation time, we were taken to the 'main city' without any choice."

"There aren't any free activities, and even the sightseeing portion after arriving in the main city doesn't directly trigger the next event."

then……

"The main city is still bombed."

You Ming couldn't help but look to the left, and what came into view through the floor-to-ceiling windows was the dilapidated scenery of the city.

Houses collapsed, factories were damaged, trees were scorched, and gardens were reduced to ashes.

After experiencing a sudden devastation, the entire city of Shindo Mino was reduced to a ruin that was still able to maintain normal operation.

To be honest, he hadn't even taken a good look at this city that was similar to Domino City.

"But it doesn't matter. So-called crises and incidents are also conventional means of guidance."

"And the greater the impact and the more critical the situation, the greater the sense of accomplishment in resolving it... Tsk."

To be honest, You Ming really wanted to use this reason to convince himself.

But when some words came out of his mouth, he himself could hardly hold it in.

After all, the current situation is really hard to describe...

"Mr. You Ming, this is the meeting room."

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a huge metal door.

Under the artificial cold light, the KC logo symbolizing the Haima Group is simple and cold, and standing under the logo is a red-haired woman.

A cheerful smile appeared on the face that You Ming was familiar with, and the small canine teeth seemed to bring a touch of brightness to the city ruins in the background.

"The duelists are almost all here."

"Well, thank you for leading the way for me."

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

The woman smiled and waved her hand.

"Anyway, people like me don't have much fighting power. Unlike you duelists who are good at fighting, I can only do these trivial things."

Although there was obvious regret in her words, the woman was obviously used to it.

Finally, You Ming saw a serious look on her face, which held some hope.

"Mr. Duelist, I leave everything in your hands."

"……Um."

Looking at the anticipation revealed in those red eyes, You Ming couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

That's why he felt so lost.

Not to mention responding to that expectation, he still hasn't felt any sense of reality until now.

Maybe it’s because playing cards is really hard to take seriously, or maybe it’s because... the progress is too fast?

"Mr. Duelist?"

When I came to my senses, what caught my eye was the woman's somewhat worried look.

"Are you okay?"

Clearly, she means well.

But unfortunately, You Ming is not used to accepting this kind of thing.

"Hey, don't worry about it."

After coughing lightly, he quietly took a step back.

"I'm just a little tired."

"Didn't you get enough rest?"

"Okay……"

You Ming raised his voice slightly, ending the topic completely.

"Anyway, that's all. Thank you for leading the way."

"Well, I have other work to do, so I'll leave now."

"Well, goodbye, Miss Tour Guide."

When the woman's figure disappeared from the corner, You Ming finally couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about it carefully, this situation was indeed quite outrageous.

Just an hour ago, some people looked down on him, but the next moment, some people treated him with respect, even looking at him with expectation and admiration.

Even now, he was invited to some combat meeting.

What should I say? Did I skip it without knowing it?
“This is really skipping life.”

Unable to help but laugh, You Ming began to operate the wristband in his hand.

After entering a password, the camera above the gate began scanning.

"Identity Verification: Duelist You Ming."

With a mechanical sound, the door slowly opened.

"Welcome to the war meeting."

Then, another scene came into view.

There is no sense of narrowness and enclosure brought by steel and metal, and the white-painted walls create a sense of openness.

A huge crystal chandelier hung high on the ceiling, illuminating the round table directly below - and of course, the duelists surrounding the table.

But...

"Uh."

When You Ming finally brought them into his sight, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

There are fishermen who are shirtless and holding a metal harpoon, regardless of their image, and robots dressed as commanders holding rapiers.

There are demons with tattered clothes and hunched bodies like old men, and there are mechas that almost reach the ceiling and look like a small Gundam.

Scarlet demons, human-shaped Tengu, and short penguins.

Zombies and skeletons.

Even when You Ming glanced at the corner, he saw a nine-tailed fox curled up on the seat - Hey, this one doesn't even have a human form!

"Human, you seem to be thinking about something very rude."

Just when You Ming couldn't help but want to complain about something, the cold voice like winter snow lingering in his ears blocked everything.

So, do all of you monsters have the ability to read minds?

Facing the nine-tailed fox's sleepy yet sharp gaze, You Ming just smiled.

"Hello."

"Humph."

It had no intention of greeting directly, but just lay down again, with its nine dangling furry tails wrapping up its body, turning it into a big furry ball.

In the end, You Ming shifted his gaze to the guy who could at least say a few words.

Keith Howard...

Who would have thought that in a place like this, this guy whose personality is full of old American stereotypes would actually be the most normal one?

He just sat on the chair with his legs crossed on the round meeting table.

"Hey, kid, how have you been lately?"

"We just met over an hour ago."

"It doesn't matter. You know, time has no meaning to us."

This statement might seem fine in this world of the dead, but coming from Keith's mouth...

"A tough talk?"

"Tsk, you little brat..."

"Okay, forget about that. Where should I sit now?"

"Your words……"

But at this moment, Keith suddenly fell silent.

He couldn't help but glance around and found that his fellow duelists were all looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah, you're really cunning, kid."
