Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 41 Speed ​​41 Operation
That night, You Qing and Di Kaide arrived at the underground duel arena again to participate in the knockout round of 16 to 8.

Unlike the first time they came, this time they brought Lali, Shun Hirata and others to stake their bets, determined to make another fortune this time.

After some things that happened in the black market, You Qing, who had already obtained the D round, was more relaxed and no longer felt the previous pressure. After the last battle, he already had a general understanding of the level of the duelists here.

In his opinion, these underground duelists' construction capabilities and dueling levels were not very high. As long as he performed normally, he could easily win.

but……

Tonight's victory seemed to come a little too easily.

In just three rounds, the seemingly powerful opponent was completely defeated, and You Qing didn't even lose any LP...

"boom------------------"

Explosions and shockwaves echoed in the dark and noisy underground place. You Qing stared blankly at his defeated opponent, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"This……"

"What a strange feeling..."

"It seems like every time my monster is just a little bit stronger than his..."

You Qing's arm, which was holding the duel disk, was suspended in mid-air as he secretly recalled the fight between the two.

At first, he thought his opponent was a tough one. Even if he wasn't that strong, he would at least be comparable to the underground duelist who used the "Sea" deck last time.

However, after a round or two of fighting, I discovered that this guy was simply a typical example of all talk and no action. In other words, he was a complete histrionic personality...

Every move he made sounded powerful, but the monsters he summoned and the tactics he used were mediocre.

When it came to the third round, all the guy's face cards had been cleared out. You Qing launched a few attacks at random and cleared the guy's remaining LP.

"You Qing!! Wins!!!"

The referee announced the verdict loudly, and the underground duelists were discussing it in a lively voice all around.

The recently defeated duelist got up from the ground and wiped the dust off his face fiercely, saying coldly:

"Ha! I'll remember you!"

"This time, you're just lucky!!"

"Next time we duel, I'll teach you a lesson and make you win back everything I lost today!!!"

After uttering a few harsh words, he stormed through the crowd and left the duel arena.

Only You Qing was left standing there with a puzzled look on his face, staring blankly.

"Let's go! Why are you still standing there?!" Dickade, who had made a huge profit again, pulled You Qing away. He carefully held the bag with a smile on his face.

You Qing came to his senses and said nothing.

Only when the two of them got in the car and set out on the road back to Area F did he express his doubts.

"Dickade, don't you think there's something wrong with today's duel?" You Qing asked with a slight frown while sitting in the passenger seat.

"What?" Dickade smiled, "Are you not used to not using the new deck?" Still for the purpose of making money, You Qing used the same temporary deck in the underground duel this time. As for the next generation, he hid it and prepared to use it at the critical moment.

You Qing shook his head.

Although Dickade has his own deck, his understanding of duels is very general, and it seems that he didn't see any clues.

"It's too easy, so easy it's a little weird," You Qing explained. "On the surface, that guy's moves seem impressive, but in reality, they're all just for show."

"When I dueled with Dankel King, there was a bit of gambling involved."

"But this one was a pure crushing defeat."

"I worry……"

"Are you worried that he did it on purpose?" Dickade restrained his smile. He knew that it was not uncommon for underground duels to be manipulated.

"Yeah." You Qing continued, "If someone really arranged this on purpose, then we might be in trouble one day."

Decade thought for a moment, "Indeed... We wanted to control the odds, so we let you use a less powerful deck. If the next time you encounter a tough opponent, and you don't have a next-generation deck, there might really be problems..."

You Qing asked, "Did everyone make a lot of money this time?"

Dickard said, "Not bad, but definitely not as good as last time. When I went to place my bets today, I noticed some guys were already betting on you. I guess more and more people will be betting on you, and the money we make from this method will decrease."

You Qing thought for a moment. "The next match is the quarterfinals. Just in case, I'll bring out my strongest deck. As for the rest of the game, we'll see how things go. If the odds are too low and it's not worth the risk, then don't invest."

"Alright!" Decade fully approved of the decision. "After these two rounds, everyone's made enough money. Earn money from the next competition if you can. If not, just use it as practice for the High-Speed ​​Duel Competition."

"Yeah." You Qing responded.

In the dark streets, the two men sped along the road in the old car.

As a new duel began, countless underground duelists came to the gambling table and bet huge sums of money.

The fat man sitting on the old-fashioned sofa glanced at his watch, then spat out the toothpick in his mouth and waved to a subordinate wearing glasses not far away. The guy immediately understood and came over.

The fat man handed the task in front of him to someone else and walked into the secret passage in the underground duel arena.

In the dim corridor, the burly man who had just been defeated by You Qing seemed to have been waiting for a long time. In the shadows, he was not as rough and aggressive as he was in public. He piled up his fat face and smiled cunningly: "Hahaha~ How's it going? Not bad for your acting, right?"

The fat man took out a thick stack of cash from his pocket and slapped it on him, sneering without saying a word.

"It's just to fool the uninitiated... cough cough cough!" A hoarse voice, shrouded in smoke and alcohol, rang out from the deeper shadows. The voice was incredibly vicissitudes of life, carrying a hint of experience and viciousness. "A true duelist can be spotted at a glance."

The big man obviously didn't expect that there was another person in the corner. He was shocked at first, and then secretly relieved. Outsiders didn't know about this place. Since that guy could come here, it meant that there was no need to hide the fact of match-fixing from him.

"Oh?" The big man smiled somewhat unconvincedly, "So, you are a real duelist..."

"BOOM!!!!!!!!"

Before he could finish his words, a flash of fire lit up from the darkness and deafening gunshots echoed in the corridor!
If this loud noise happened in the city, it would definitely be noticed by people, but this is an abandoned area, shootings happen frequently, and the entire underground duel arena is always playing loud music, so no one will notice this place at all.

The big man opened his eyes wide, sweating in confusion. The next second, a piercing pain came from his knee, and he fell to the ground with a heart-wrenching scream.
