Chapter 228 Benyue Taki-Xia Sheng
five minutes ago.

Deep within the island lies an abandoned power plant, where the air is thick with the pungent smell of rust mixed with engine oil. The massive turbines have long since ceased their roar, leaving only a faint hum of electricity echoing through the empty factory.

An obese man with a bloated build was looking down at a refined-looking young man in front of him.

He had just finished a duel and won 50,000 credits from his opponent.

"Tsk."

The obese man curled his lip, his face full of disdain.

"First place in the written exam? I don't think that's anything special. Just a bookworm who only knows how to study."

The young man who lost the duel, Xia Sheng, merely raised his head slightly, smiled gently, and offered no rebuttal.

A few people were standing around, and they echoed his sentiments.

"What's the use of just knowing the theory if your deck building is a mess and it's useless in actual combat?"

"I thought he was something special, but he's just an easy target."

"What a waste of such a high score on the written test."

"If my initial credit limit was one million..."

The mocking voices rose and fell, sounding particularly jarring in the empty factory.

As the obese man listened to the crowd's praise, a smug smile spread across his face. His large chin twitched, and his eyes swept darkly over a lean henchman beside him.

The younger brother immediately understood and, without hesitation, raised the Yi Na gun in his hand, aiming it at the silent Xia Sheng.

"boom!"

A bullet, representing a budget of 200,000, trailing a scarlet contrail, was aimed precisely at Xia Sheng.

This is a blatant provocation, and even more so, a greedy hunt.

A duel invitation with a limit of 200,000!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes focused on Xia Sheng. According to the rules, if the balance is insufficient to start a duel, the person will be eliminated and a barrier will be erected.

Strangely, when the bullet hit Xia Sheng, there was neither an elimination sound nor an energy barrier popping up.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment; you could hear a pin drop in the factory.

"Huh?" The smug look on the fat man's face froze.

"How...how could this be?" The henchman who fired the shot stood frozen in place, still holding his gun.

The mocking expressions on the faces of the surrounding cheerers froze, turning into incredulous astonishment: "He...he caught it?!"

"Two hundred thousand bullets... and he took them?!"

"Holy crap! Is this true?"

"Are you kidding me! Didn't he just lose 50,000 in a game?"

Normal people wouldn't dare to casually use 20 bullets in the early stages; they would only use them to kick the loser when they're down. Without exception, all 20 bullets that hit the target in the early stages resulted in immediate elimination.

The sudden catch caught everyone off guard.

The henchman who fired the shot broke out in a cold sweat, his hand gripping the gun trembling slightly. He looked at his boss for help: "B-Big Brother...two hundred thousand...he accepted..."

A limit of 200,000 is no different from being eliminated if you lose it.

The obese man's face also looked rather grim, but he quickly put on a brave face and shouted at his underlings, "What are you afraid of!"

"His crappy deck just now was practically giving you free money."

"Two hundred thousand! Two hundred thousand for nothing, you should be thrilled!"

After being yelled at by his older brother, the younger brother realized that the opponent's deck was clearly weak and easily defeated.

It's a deal that's guaranteed to make me money!

Panic was instantly replaced by immense greed.

"That's right! Two hundred thousand! Haha, I'm going to be rich!" The younger brother's face lit up with excitement again.

Those around him recovered from their shock and looked at the younger brother with envy.

"What good luck! I ran into an idiot."

"20 in one go, that's a huge profit. Damn, I should have fired one too."

"So what if you get first place in the written exam? You're still just handing money over to others."

However, just as everyone was discussing and convinced that Xia Sheng was bound to lose.

Xia Sheng, who had been silent all along, finally made a move.

He maintained his placid expression, slowly raising his wrist and gently sliding his fingertips across the supercomputing ring he wore.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he took out another deck and placed it into the Duel Disk.

"???"

The noisy discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at Xia Sheng in disbelief.

"Two...two decks?!"

"He actually prepared two decks?!"

"Holy crap! You can do that?" Shock spread like wildfire.

He actually used the initial credit he earned by ranking first in the written exam to prepare a second deck?!

What extravagance, and what confidence!
The fat on the obese man's face twitched violently, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart.

The excitement and greed on the henchman's face vanished completely, replaced by boundless fear: "There's... there's still one more card deck."

"Come on," Xia Sheng said softly, raising his duel disk. "Let's duel."

"Don't think you can scare me!" The henchman who fired the shot then unfolded his duel disk. "Real combat is different from theory!"

"Duel!" (X2)

"Ugh—" Three minutes later, a shrill wail shattered the silence of the power plant.

【The winner is】

【Blue Square】

【Duel ends】

The gunman collapsed to the ground. In the first round, he didn't even get a chance to fire a shot, and his base score was reduced from 8000 to zero.

FTK, first-turn-kill.

The younger brother's face was contorted, his mouth opened and closed a few times but no sound came out, his eyes were filled with despair, and he murmured absentmindedly.

"A machine. A puppet."

"Bang!" The fat man's eyes hardened, and he fired a shot directly at his henchman.

[Candidate Wang Yang, eliminated]

A pale golden barrier popped up, enveloping the underling named Wang Yang.

The younger brother didn't blame the fat man, nor was it unexpected. Losing 20 in a game was no different from being eliminated. If the older brother didn't shoot, others would.

Another person was sucked away by the mechanical spaceship, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

The obese man witnessed everything. He stared at Xia Sheng, his eyes filled with wariness: "8000 HP FTK..."

"A shady character"

He wouldn't be so wary if it were a normal FTK (First Strike) deck, but the key is that the executioner is a deck called "Mechanical Golem".

What kind of art style is that?!
More dead infants, dolls, and all sorts of strange laughter sent chills down his spine.

The onlookers were jolted awake as if doused with a bucket of ice water, and they all retreated, their eyes filled with fear.

Those who had just been mocking Xia Sheng were now silent, terrified of attracting the attention of this "top scorer in the written exam" and the "mechanical puppet."

"I don't understand," someone whispered, "why prepare two decks? Is the first one to intentionally lose and lure others into high-stakes duels?"

Whispers and speculations arose among the crowd.

Xia Sheng tidied up his deck, put the Duel Disk back on his wrist, glanced at the terrified crowd in front of him, and said calmly.

"Oh, I enjoy fishing."

Xia Sheng and his sister work in the underworld at the fourth level of the Reincarnation Snow Mountain, where there is a magical lake where it is said there is a very small chance of catching strange things.

"Fishing?!" The fat man was stunned.

"Use 5 worth of bait to catch a 20 worth of fish?"

The power plant fell into a brief silence, followed by a collective gasp of shock.

"You can play like this?!" someone shouted.

Another person said thankfully, "Thank goodness I didn't fire."

The obese man's face was ashen, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked at Xia Sheng's calm expression and took three steps back.

Their carefully researched "kicking someone when they're down" tactic was countered in just ten minutes by a "fishing tactic." A deck with all N cards costs only 4, yet it can serve as a strategic decoy.

【bite--]
A crisp notification sound rang out from high above, and the battle power rankings plummeted.

Bian Yuelong is ranked first in the gap between Xia Sheng and Bian Yuelong, with a total combat power of 116 million.

“116 million.” Li Guanqi’s pupils contracted as he looked at the ranking.

The person named Xia Sheng had 50 more in credits than him, not counting the equipment they both picked up.

A quota of 50 is enough to buy a male and female character card, plus more than half a set of other cards.

If the opponent also follows the same method as the Demonic Magic Bullet, they will have an extra Demonic Magic Minor System compared to him.

The appearance of the combat power rankings instantly changed the atmosphere on the battlefield.

"We can't afford to wait any longer."

The group in the hospital area, seemingly out of unspoken agreement, exchanged glances, simultaneously put away their guns, and all rushed towards the safe zone.

Li Guanqi and Tang Xin exchanged a glance, then without further hesitation, immediately joined the running crowd.
