Chapter 202 Tell me how to win?
"One in front and three behind?!" The man in the lightning-patterned jacket looked at the Earthwalker 17, laughing instead of being afraid. "Hmph, this is interesting!"

He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and roared at the empty space opposite him, "I will not give up!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

He ran his fingertip across the card and flipped it open—[The Hunter of the Tri-Pyramid]!
Seeing the familiar card art, the man in the lightning bolt jacket smiled even more broadly, his eyes blazing with fury. "Beautiful! You're good!"

He dared to be the first to go on stage, and he was confident for a reason. The reason was simple: this [Three-Shaped Pyramid] deck was his signature deck, which he had studied day and night and was most familiar with! Duel with NR cards was like coming home to him; there was no problem with proficiency at all.

Not a single one needs to be changed; it's truly a sad story.

"Activate Field Spell Card, [Tri-Shaped Pyramid Cruiser]!" Without hesitation, Sanjin Brother slammed a Field Spell Card into the Duel Disk.

Amidst shimmering golden light, the phantom of a peculiar flying machine composed of several inverted pyramids appeared high in the sky, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Wow—" Li Guanqi's eyes lit up.

【Three Gold】If you don't get stuck in a bad hand, it can indeed be played in a NR deck.

This guy dared to be the first to step up; he must be very confident.

A red light flashed in the mechanical eye of Earthwalker 17, as if it were quickly searching the database for information about the [Tri-Shaped Pyramid], but ultimately there was no connection.

"Great!" Sanjin's spirits lifted. "Then I'll summon this monster!"

He slammed the card down in his hand: "Come out, [Hunter of the Tri-Pyramid]!"

As the yellow sands swept across the field, an ancient Egyptian warrior with a dog's head and a human body, wielding a scepter and dressed entirely in gold, appeared on the field with heavy steps. His attack power of 1400 points was not high, but with the field effects, his potential was enormous.

"The effect of the [Cruise Machine]!"

"Reply with 500 base points, draw one card yourself, and then discard one."

However, the smile on his face froze before it could fully bloom.

Earthwalker 17 remained unfazed, his cold electronic arm waving as a face-down card in the back row was revealed: "Open face-down card, trap activated! [Bottomless Pitfall]!"

"What?!" Sanjin's pupils shrank suddenly.

Suddenly, a dark abyss split open beneath the feet of the [Hunter of the Three-Shaped Pyramid], and countless pale arms reached out from it, grabbing the hunter's ankles and pulling him downwards!
"Ugh!" The hunter let out a frustrated roar, his figure instantly being dragged into darkness, transforming back into a face-down card.

The newly ignited flame of hope was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

"Damn! We've already gotten ourselves into a mess right from the start." Sanjin's discouragement lasted less than three seconds before he rallied again. "Hmph, you think this can break a warrior's spirit?"

"【Cruising Machine】Effect, draw cards!"

He quickly drew one card and discarded another, a slow smile spreading across his face as he slapped the card down, saying, "Activate Field Spell, [Triple Pyramid - Giant King]!"

A pyramid-shaped gun emplacement was erected, with the cannons aimed at Ground Walker 17.

"Activate the effect of [Cruiser] to send it to the graveyard, and add [Hunter of the Three-Shaped Pyramid] from your deck to your hand."

"It's not over yet!"

"Activate the field spell, [Tri-Shaped Pyramid - Great Fortress]!"

The scene shifts again, and amidst the changing light and shadow, a more imposing and mechanical desert pyramid rises from the ground, exuding a chilling aura of defense.

"Activate the Graveyard effect of [Giant King]!" Sanjin's actions were fluid and seamless, clearly demonstrating his mastery of the deck's effects. "Special Summon from hand—"

He slammed the card he had just retrieved onto the Duel Disk and shouted:
"【The Hunter of the Tri-Shaped Pyramid】!"

The yellow sand swept in again, and the ancient Egyptian warrior with a scepter and a dog's head stepped onto the battlefield once more, his eyes even more resolute than before.

"Let's see if you still have any 'Bottomless Pitfall' left!" Brother Sanjin shouted at the motionless robot opposite him, with a kind of unruly spirit. "AI is AI. You would never understand the bond between me and my deck!"

Li Guanqi thought to himself, "What a confident kid."

Earthwalker 17's red electronic eye flashed briefly, and a data stream seemed to flow rapidly within it, analyzing the current situation and the optimal solution. Ultimately, it made no move and abandoned the chain.

"Hmph, out of tricks now, aren't you?" Brother Sanjin's face revealed a confident smile. "Using the effect of [Hunter], I will summon [Lord of the Tri-Shaped Pyramid] once again!"

A flash of light appeared on the field, and the figure of a wizard wearing an ancient Egyptian headdress, holding a curved staff, and draped in a magnificent robe appeared, standing side by side with the hunter.

"Face a card down, my turn is over!" Sanjin Brother slammed down a card in his hand, ending his turn.

With two monsters on the field, one in the back row, and the added effect of the field, it looks quite solid.

The atmosphere in the waiting area immediately became lively.

"This guy's got something! He managed to create two monsters after eating the pit, he's got some skills!"

"I think I've seen this guy before. He's from the Third Street of the East District. His nickname is something like 'Bian Yuelong's Number One Three Golds.' He brags a lot, but I didn't expect him to actually be capable."

"What incredible luck! His [Three-Shaped Pyramid] build was entirely composed of NR cards, which is practically unlimited. It's like he predicted the exact question correctly! He didn't even need to change a single card. I'm so angry!"

"Stop being so sour, keep watching, you might be able to copy something."

Li Guanqi raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched this scene. Two native monsters and three different field spells in the opening hand—this opening hand was a bit too good. Graveyard effects for searching and replenishing points, field effects for filtering and drawing, plus the Hunter's Extra Summon effect… one thing led to another, managing to turn the tide of the game after taking a crucial trap.

Normal NR decks usually stop after getting one bad card.

This deck's synergy is probably just like what people say, that people sleep with the deck in their arms.

However, just when everyone thought that Brother Sanjin had successfully stabilized his position and had a chance to fight back.

Without warning, Earthwalker 17's cold mechanical arm rose: "End Phase, activate Trap Card, [Crossbow Troops]."

A face-down card is revealed in the back row, showing a group of green goblins holding crossbows, ready to fire.

"Release the [Sword God - Shiranui] on my field," the AI's voice was devoid of any emotion, "and destroy the [Tri-Pyramid - Great Fortress] on the opponent's field!"

As soon as the words fell, the [Sword God - Shiranui] on the field turned into a flame and vanished. At the same time, the goblins on the trap card seemed to come alive, letting out a strange cry, and unleashing a barrage of arrows. The dense rain of arrows accurately covered the great fortress in the desert!
"boom--!"

The Three-Shaped Pyramid - Great Fortress collapsed instantly under the fierce attack, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.

The smile on Sanjin's face froze instantly, the color draining from his face and turning deathly pale.

He opened his mouth, but something seemed to be blocking his throat, preventing him from even uttering his signature "What?!" Only silent despair remained. Without the support and protection of the arena, his monsters suddenly became incredibly vulnerable.

"Oh, my condolences, buddy..." Li Guanqi sighed inwardly, offering his condolences to the man. The AI's aim was too precise; it struck right at the carotid artery.

Experienced players of the "Three Golds" game have already clicked the top right corner to start the next round.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, there is a special type of deck called "Human-X Integration," such as "Magic Bullet" (Human-Bullet Integration), "Sky Striker" (Human-Sword Integration), "Three Gold" (Human-Face Integration), "Cursed Eye" (Human-Eye Integration), and "Paladin" (Human-Sword Integration).

These types of decks can only reach their full potential when you have both characters and items in your deck.

The Three-Shaped Pyramids lost its venue; it's truly a sad story.

Earthwalker No. 17 deliberately got stuck in the final stage and exploded again, so Sanjin couldn't even add more space. It's much smarter than YGO's AI, and it doesn't just light up wherever it's lit.

"My turn, draw a card." Earthwalker 17's cold electronic voice rang out, his movements without the slightest hesitation.

Its robotic arm swung above the deck, and a card popped out and was precisely collected into its hand.

"Activate the effect of [Demon Blade - Shiranui] in your Graveyard, and banish this card and [Shiranui's Takebe] from your Graveyard."

"Boundaries beyond life and death, are connected here!" Earthwalker 17 suddenly raised its voice, attempting to mimic the passionate emotions of humans.

A chilling energy began to gather, and the air on one side of the venue seemed to stagnate.

"Descend! Level 6, [Undying Demon King Skeleton Demon]!"

A colossal demon burst forth from the earth, its bones and joints burning with eerie blue flames, emanating a chilling aura of death.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Sanjin's forehead. He instinctively took a half-step back, terrified by the monster's imposing aura.

“When [Shiranui's Takebe] is banished, activate its effect.” Earthwalker 17’s tone returned to its steady, mechanical quality. “I draw one card from my deck, and then discard one card from my hand.”

It quickly performs the actions of drawing and discarding a card, sending one card to the graveyard, "Discard [The Hermit of Shiranui]".

"Normal Summon: [Shiranui Takebe]!"

A flash of light appeared, and a young female samurai dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, wielding a naginata, appeared on the field, looking heroic and dashing.

"When the effect of 'Shiranui no Takebe' is successfully activated," Earthwalker 17 then proceeded, "Special Summon 1 'Shiranui' monster from the Deck."

Its deck is automatically searched, and a card pops out.

Special Summon: [Oma no Yoto no Shiranui]!

"It's coming..." Sanjin's heart sank. The opponent already had Tuner monsters and non-Tuner monsters on the field.

"I will adjust the level of my Level 3 Tuner monster, [Oma no Yoto - Shiranui], to Level 4 [Shiranui no Takebe]!"

The [Demon Blade - Shiranui] transformed into three emerald green light spots, which spun rapidly around [Shiranui's Takebe], forming three concentric halos.

"The undying flames gather on the blade, summoning the slumbering souls of heroes!" Earthwalker No. 17's mechanical eye erupted with a dazzling red light, its aura astonishing. "Sever destiny, annihilate the demons of the world!"

A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, accompanied by flames.

"Synchronic Summon!"

"Descend! Level 7, [Demon God - Shiranui]!"

As the light faded, the figure standing on the field was no longer the priestess warrior, but a more mature woman. She held a demon sword, her body shrouded in the ancient phantom of a sword spirit, and her eyes were sharp.

"Holy crap!" Li Guanqi was so excited he was incoherent.

Despite the immersive experience offered by the metaverse, it is ultimately virtual; real-world battles are far more intense.

“【Demon God】.” Sanjin Ge swallowed.

There is no card check in the preliminary selection; if a card does not have any effect, the system will not display it.

Earthwalker 17 waved his hand and announced: "Activate the effect of [Demon God - Shiranui]!"

"Exclude one monster from the Graveyard and one monster on the field; gain an effect based on the type of monster."

The demon god on the field exuded even stronger demonic energy, his long sword hummed, and an invisible force spread outwards.

Three lines of cold text popped up in the void.

●Zombie: All monsters on your field gain 300 ATK.

●Fire Attribute: Destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field.

●Synchro: Destroy 1 monster on the field.

"What?" Sanjin's eyes widened.

He remembered that in Gravesite #17 of the Earthwalker's tomb, there were [Sword God - Shiranui] and [The Hermit of Shiranui].

Regardless of which one is excluded, the fire attribute and the undead effect can be triggered.

The destruction of the demonic trap is now a foregone conclusion.

The Demon God moved slightly, raised the demon sword in his hand, and rushed forward with a step. The blazing flames swept past, and the air was distorted by the high temperature.

"Don't even think about it!" The color returned to Sanjin's face as he slammed his face down on his faceplate. "Perpetual Trap! [Awakening of the Ancient Ruins]!"

As the card was flipped open, the phantom of ancient ruins appeared behind Sanjin.

"Exclude two 'Three-Shaped Pyramid' Field Spell Cards from my Graveyard!" he roared, with a desperate resolve, "Destroy 'Demon God - Shiranui'!"

Within the phantom of the ruins, a pyramid-shaped war chariot appeared, its cannons glowing with energy, aiming at the [Demon God] in mid-air, and suddenly blasting out a thick golden laser.

Just as the laser was about to hit, the Demon God did not dodge, but simply held the demon sword horizontally in front of him.

"Boom—" The golden laser collided with the demon sword, and the violent collision exploded into a burst of flames.

Earthwalker 17’s voice rang out at the right moment, cold and devoid of any emotion: “When [Undead Demon Lord - Skeleton Demon] is on the field, face-up Undead monsters on your field cannot be destroyed by effects.”

"What...?!" The light in Sanjin's eyes vanished instantly, his voice short and sharp.

For a moment, he felt the world was extremely cold.
