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

"Hmm! It seems like there are quite a few rare cards, and they're all pretty good."

You Chen lay on the bed, holding a stack of cards he had won from Longya Jun a couple of days ago, flipping through them one by one. Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft golden edge on the cards.

He picked out a few and examined them carefully.

You Chen picked out the valuable general-purpose cards and stacked them up.

A dozen or so.

This is a good opportunity to strengthen my deck.

As for the rest, although they are also rare cards, most of them have exclusive attributes and can only be used in specific decks. They are not very useful to him.

Most people would probably choose to sell it for money.

But You Chen did not.

He sat up in bed, turned on his computer, and posted a message on the college forum.

Notification Regarding Claiming the Rare Card Won Back from Dragon Fang

The content is simple: anyone whose rare card was won by Dragon Fang can claim it by presenting relevant evidence.

After posting, he leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Making money? That's a poor choice.

Gaining a wave of fans and popularity is the best strategy.

In this world, connections are important. Being a lone wolf doesn't mean you don't need connections, it just means you don't need friends.

Friends are dispensable, and sometimes even a burden, a ticking time bomb that might betray you at a crucial moment.

But connections are different.

Connections are resources, channels, and things that can be exchanged for equivalent value in critical moments.

Consider these rare cards an investment.

"You still have quite a few rare cards." The Great Sun Witch floated over and stopped directly above him, looking down at the cards in his hand. "You've made quite a bit of money in this duel."

You Chen raised his head.

Then--

His face turned red instantly.

From this angle, one can get a perfect view of what's under the skirt of the Great Sun Witch.

Beneath the golden, flowing skirt lies…

You Chen sat up abruptly and turned his face away.

"Hey, why is your face so red?"

The Great Sun Goddess floated down, tilted her head to look at him, her face full of doubt.

"None of your business."

You Chen stood up and stuffed the card into his pocket.

"I'm going out for a walk."

After saying that, he opened the door and quickly walked out.

The muttered voice of the Great Sun Witch came from behind: "Strange humans..."

……

Several days have passed since the last duel.

College life returned to normal.

There were no challenges, no declarations of war, and no sudden activation of the god-level selection system.

You Chen had a few rare days of peace, spending his days eating, sleeping, organizing his card deck, and teasing the Great Sun Maiden.

Of course, sometimes it's hard to tell who's teasing whom.

The weather is nice today, the sun is shining, and the sea breeze is gentle.

Youchen wandered aimlessly and unknowingly arrived at the seaside.

Two figures came into view from the dock.

Tenjouin Asuka

And there's also Ryo Marufuji.

The two were standing on the dock, talking to each other.

Sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle, while seagulls circled overhead, emitting clear cries.

From a distance, the scene is quite pleasing to the eye.

You Chen raised an eyebrow.

These two are inseparable.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were a couple.

However, he knew that Ryo Marufuji was Asuka's adoptive brother, and their relationship was more like that of siblings.

However, this scene is indeed easy to misunderstand.

You Chen did not go to disturb them.

He found a grassy area with a wide view and lay down.

Put your hands behind your head, close your eyes, and feel the sea breeze on your cheeks.

I must say, the scenery at Duel Academy is truly beautiful.

Blue sky, white clouds, sea, seagulls.

"Your name is You Chen, right?"

A voice came from above.

You Chen opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

Then he froze.

Obelisk blue school uniform, signature hairstyle, gentle smile.

Muto game.

And it was just Yugi Muto alone.

You Chen blinked, somewhat surprised.

Why is he here?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yugi Muto wasn't annoyed and sat down next to him.

The two lay side by side on the grass, looking at the same sky.

"Do you know me?" You Chen asked.

Yugi Muto paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Since enrolling, Yu Chen-kun has been dazzling." His tone was gentle, as if chatting with an old friend. "Defeating Professor Chronos, crushing Manjoume Jun, and winning against Ryuga-kun... these things have spread throughout the entire academy. It's hard for anyone not to know him."

He paused, then turned his head to look at You Chen.

"It's surprising that you could call me by my name, Mr. You Chen."

You Chen rested his head on his hands and smiled.

"Wasn't your admission quite impressive?"

"He outshone the proctor upon entering university, ranked at the top of the written exam, and won every duel he attended."

He turned his head to look at Yugi Muto.

"It's hard for me not to know you."

Yugi Muto blinked, scratched his head, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I never expected that I was this outstanding."

They both laughed.

Once the conversation started, the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed.

Yugi Muto actually hesitated for a long time before coming over.

He watched many of Yu Chen's duels. From his battle against Professor Chronos, to his crushing defeat of Manjoume Jun, and then to his instant kill of Ryuga-kun a few days ago using a trap card during his opponent's turn—he watched every single one of them.

He could tell that You Chen was very strong.

Moreover, its style is very unique and unlike anyone else's.

That kind of scheming, that kind of planning, that oppressive feeling of being pushed forward step by step...

It piqued his interest.

He wanted to get to know You Chen and exchange ideas with him.

But at the same time, he hesitated.

Because You Chen's dueling style is too aggressive.

The feeling of having his opponent completely under his control, the domineering way of crushing his opponent from start to finish, made Yugi Muto feel that this person might not be easy to approach.

She might be aloof.

They might be arrogant.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still came.

Because he really wanted to know.

But now, after exchanging those few words, he discovered—

You Chen was completely different from what I had imagined.

He speaks casually, has a peaceful attitude, and laughs without any airs.

It's like...like an old friend I've known for a long time.

Yugi Muto was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat pleased.

He turned his head to look at You Chen, considered for a moment, and then asked:

"You Chenjun, your dueling style is quite rare."

He paused.

"Could I understand...the core of this style?"

After hearing this, You Chen paused for a moment, then his expression became somewhat strange.

He turned his head to look at Yugi Muto, his eyes carrying a hint of something indescribable.

"Do you need to know anything else?"

His tone carried a hint of confusion.

Just kidding.

You're the ancestor of the underworld.

Of course, You Chen didn't say that.

After all, Xiao Biao himself didn't know that, through his own efforts, he had triggered an uncontrollable underworld phenomenon.

Of course, the one who truly carried it forward was the three-year-old.

"You're too modest. You know this style much better than I do," You Chen said.

Muto Yugi: "?"
