Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

"Open the door!!!"

Aunt Duomei gave a loud and energetic shout, and the door of the convenience store opened in response.

"Wow!!"

"Finally!"

"Today is the day I find the rarest card resources in the Duel Academy! I'm determined to revive my deck!"

The entrance was already packed with students, a dense crowd, all staring intently inside with gleaming eyes.

Today is the day Haima Group releases its new cards. As is customary, some of the new cards will be released first at Duel Academy, both to collect practical data and as a benefit for students.

After enrolling, You Chen had already lived in the Duel Academy for a month, and was about to face his first monthly exam. The news of the new card release had already spread before the exam, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

He stood in the crowd, looking at the neatly stacked cardholders on the counter inside. The brand-new packaging gleamed under the lights, like small mountains, exuding a fatal attraction.

"Wow!! It really is a new card!"

"I want to buy it!!"

"Don't push me! I was here first!"

A group of students rushed forward, causing a brief period of chaos.

Just then, Professor Chronos stepped out from the side. He straightened his tie, cleared his throat, and said in his signature emphatic tone:

"Ahem—the academy's new cards are available for everyone to purchase."

He paused, then glanced at the students present.

"However, outstanding students have priority in choosing."

His gaze fell on You Chen, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Although he had lost to this freshman a few days ago, Professor Chronos had always appreciated outstanding students and was fair in separating public and private matters.

"The top student among the new students this time is, of course, You Chen."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to You Chen.

You Chen paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Can I choose first?"

He walked up, stood in front of the pile of cardholders, glanced at them, and then—

"In that case, I'll take them all."

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Professor Chronos: "?"

Other students: "????"

"Holy crap? Is that a human?"

"Damn! What a top-tier beast!"

"Eating alone!!"

"Is there no justice in this world?!"

Immediately, complaints and curses erupted.

Among the crowd, Muto Yugi and Jonouchi Katsuya were also there.

Yugi Muto blinked: "Huh?"

Katsuya Jonouchi: "No way, I finally came all this way to try and grab the card packs, and he took them all."

Jaden Yuki scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Ah... looks like I've been waiting for nothing."

Marufuji Sho was completely dumbfounded: "We want them all? What are we supposed to buy then?"

The cursing grew louder and louder, and it looked like it was about to get out of control.

Professor Kronos also felt this was utterly shameless. But since he had set the rules, he couldn't easily change his mind now, and could only stand aside and watch helplessly.

However, his expression might be even more interesting if he knew that he had done something similar himself.

You Chen stood still, listening to the curses around him, his expression unchanged.

After he had finished cursing, he raised his hand and pressed it down.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it inexplicably had a calming power.

"Let me finish speaking before you start scolding me."

The crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at him, wanting to see what kind of nonsense he would come up with.

You Chen smiled slightly.

"Actually, you shouldn't be criticizing me. It may seem like I'm taking everything, but in reality, I'm working for your benefit."

Upon hearing this, the students present were stunned.

"These card packs are now officially mine," You Chen said, pointing to the pile of packs. "But I didn't buy them to keep them all to myself."

He paused, then scanned the entire room.

"Next, you may choose your own opponent for a duel."

"The winner can buy a card pack at half price—only five thousand."

"The loser..." he drawled, "has to pay double the price for a card pack, which is 20,000."

"In this way, everyone can buy a card pack, the only difference is the price."

He shrugged and smiled frankly.

"What else is this but working for your benefit?"

"Unless you think you're weaker than others, then you should go home, wash up, and go to bed."

You Chen's words were not only reasonable, but he also used a provocation tactic at the end.

In the world of duels, who would consider themselves weaker than others?

Unless they are already famous.

But these freshmen, who had only been enrolled for a short time, were all unwilling to submit to each other.

You Chen also seized this opportunity.

The entire room fell silent for two seconds.

Then--

"Holy crap?! Is this for real?!"

"Awesome!! I admit I yelled way too loudly just now!"

"I was wrong!! You Chen, you're like an older brother to me!!"

"Duel! Duel!! Who wants to fight me?!"

"I'll take you on! I'll beat you into a pulp today!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, their earlier resentment vanishing in an instant, replaced by a surge of fighting spirit.

Professor Kronos stood to the side, dumbfounded.

Oh my god! This kid...

Not only is he a top student, but he's also a business genius?

How could a potential conflict be turned into a spontaneously organized duel in just a few words?

Professor Chronos's gaze toward You Chen became complicated.

Even in school competitions, none were as fluid as his.

Why didn't I think of selling card holders this way before? It's more practical!

Yugi Muto stood in the crowd, listening to the cheers around him, and his eyes lit up.

He looked at You Chen, a slight smile playing on his lips.

That's a very clever approach.

There's no way to directly monopolize card packs and sell them at high prices—while that would allow them to be sold, they would never be sold out, and it would incite public outrage.

But by using this method, he not only resolved the conflict, but also got everyone involved and enthusiastic.

The winner will be more grateful to You Chen, but who can the loser blame if they are not as skilled?

Yugi Muto secretly admired Yu Chen's business acumen.

Jaden Yuki was already excitedly looking for an opponent: "I don't understand, but it seems really interesting. I won't refuse any duel. Who wants to duel me? Sho! How about you!"

Marufuji Sho's face turned green: "Huh? Big brother, why me?! I don't want to fight big brother!"

The atmosphere of dueling grew increasingly intense among the crowd.

You Chen stood aside, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Will he lose money?

of course not.

In a duel between two people, one will inevitably win and the other will lose.

The winner pays five thousand for a pack.

The loser spent 20,000 to buy a pack.

On average, a card pack costs 12,500.

It's 2,500 more than the original price of 10,000.

Hundreds of card packs...

You Chen silently did some mental calculations.

They made a net profit of nearly one million.

He glanced at the students who were already rubbing their hands together in anticipation, and felt pleased.

Win-win.

They gained a sense of participation and the joy of dueling.

As for him...

I won money.

He had this idea a long time ago when he watched anime.

I never expected to need it today.

This is called creating something from nothing!
