Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

Grey Snake Studio.

Joel is working late into the night.

She knew about the Gear Gang's possible trouble even before Guan Bai did.

When Guan Bai returned, she was already gathering information on the Gear Gang's recent activities.

Guan Bai thought that Joel would complain about the recent troubles in the satellite region, but judging from her expression, she seemed unusually enthusiastic about gathering intelligence.

"My childhood dream was to become the ultimate logistics officer for superheroes!!"

Faced with Guan Bai's doubts, she repeated what she had said before.

The recluse expressed tolerance, but didn't quite understand.

Superhero sidekick complex?

Why does that sound so strange?

However, since Joel herself is willing, then Kanpaku can enjoy the fruits of her labor with a clear conscience.

While Yoel was contacting his informant, Kanpaku mentally opened a card pack.

Ten Dragon Rider packs were opened, and fifty cards flew out.

The experience of drawing Dragon Riders card packs is different from drawing Valley of the Clouds card packs.

As a deck with multiple slots, the Dragon Knights have far more signature cards than the Valley of the Dawn.

There are twelve different types of dragons that can be adjusted.

Therefore, a mere ten card packs are simply not enough to collect all the Dragoon Legion's original cards.

However, since a total of fifty cards were opened, it's impossible that you didn't get a single good item.

Two Dragoon Legions, one Dragoon Small Javelin Dragon, a Narrow Band Military Officer, and most importantly, one Phalanx Dragon and one Thunder Lance Dragon Knight!

A few cards are not very useful for a narrow-band military officer.

It is not included in the normal Dragoon deck.

However, since the Kanpaku's scattered dragon rider regiment already had empty slots, one card could be inserted, just for the sake of that armor penetration effect.

As a key monster for leveling up in the early Dragon Rider deck, the role of the Phalanx Dragon is self-evident.

The combination of the Legion and the Javelin Dragon makes up the classic Dragoon Legion's double-bomb combo.

Furthermore, the Dragon Rider Legion is a three-star unit, and can be combined with the 3+2 Phalanx Dragons to produce Cataclysmic Worms, making it flexible, easy to use, and its greatness needs no further explanation.

The Thunder Spear Dragon Knight is even more magnificent, needless to say. It can unleash devastating attacks and kill enemies, or it can coordinate with the Square Dragon to produce eight-star white dragons.

The addition of these cards has significantly boosted the strength of Kanpaku's deck.

Watching his deck gradually expand through his efforts, Kanpaku even felt a sense of fulfillment, as if his very soul had been completely satisfied.

This feeling of collecting cards step by step reminds me of the TF series single-player games that Kanpaku Vision used to play.

I really miss those days...

Back then, his first fully formed deck was still called Scrap Metal.

Unfortunately, reality isn't a game, and you can't be as carefree as when playing the TF series.

After all, in a game, losing a match is just losing a match, at most you get a little less DP. But in this world, losing a match could mean becoming a sacrifice to the Dark Game.

It would be great if we could bring his Bloodthirsty Mech God from TF6 here!

That's his strongest deck!

Forget it, let's stop daydreaming and focus on adjusting the composition of the Dragoon Regiment...

The collection of high-speed magic also needs to be put on the agenda.

Because those cards are designed for riding duels, they are quite expensive if you simply buy them.

So, a person is a person no matter where they are...

As long as the card is suitable for the environment, someone will drive up the card price.

The card dealers in the 5DS world did not become more ethical because of the existence of duelists; on the contrary, they became even more rampant in reselling cards.

That's just how the capitalist world is.

This is just one aspect of the unequal society in Shin-Domino City!

However, compared to the world of Kanpakuhara, the cards in this world retain their value like gold, making them quite trustworthy as an investment product.

Of course, although these cards are expensive, it is still necessary to collect them in order to enhance Kanpaku's combat power.

Toyol, get a few packs of high-speed magic cards and open them yourself.

Moreover, the five-day deadline is approaching, and Kanpaku's D-round funding is almost in hand.

Next time I go hunting, I'll target those guys who're using D-wheels and see if I can get a few for free.

As he was thinking this, a stack of printed A4 papers suddenly appeared in front of Kanpaku.

He looked up and met Joel's excited gaze.

She had just finished organizing the first batch of materials when she brought them to Guan Bai.

Impressed by Joel's efficiency, Guan Bai flipped through the documents, which contained information about the Gear Gang's activities over the past two months.

Joel sat down to the left of the regent, pointed to the contents of the document, and began to explain it incessantly.

"Last month, the Gear Gang was just a typical satellite district gang."

"They extort protection money from residents of the satellite district and frequently organize gambling duels, profiting by acting as the bookmaker..."

Was everything normal last month?

So, does that mean they suddenly changed their operating style?

Guan Bai hissed.

"Did something happen to them this month? Why are they suddenly plundering rare cards like this?"

"According to intelligence, the turning point was a secret card transaction three weeks ago."

Joel reached out and helped Guan Bai turn a page of intelligence.

"The leader of the Gear Gang, Yamada Taketo, suddenly changed his personality, transforming from a steady planner into a hot-tempered and reckless guy."

It's increasingly resembling an event where a card influences a person.

Judging from its appearance, it even seems as if the leader has suddenly been possessed by No. Card.

However, since the 5DS world does not have a Supercell network, it is impossible for any Xyz Cards to exist.

Guan Bai stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This type of card certainly doesn't originate from the Red Dragon or the Earthbound God.

After all, those two were locked in a fierce battle, and their subordinates were all vying for positions, having already chosen their chosen ones.

It seems they are being controlled by a third force.

Who is it?

Could it be the Future Group?

Kanpaku's intuition told him that the answer was not that.

But... it's not impossible. Maybe this incident is a trial arranged for a certain Dragon Seal Holder?

Wasn't it because of their involvement that Aki Izayoi got involved?

As I said before, there are too many strange and unpredictable people in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, making it really hard to pinpoint who's behind all the trouble.

Then the regent looked at Joel.

"The leader's personality has changed drastically; it seems he's been influenced by something... But if that's the case, what's their purpose in collecting rare cards?"

Is it possible that the leader of the Gear Gang is so thirsty for cards that he needs to consume rare cards to maintain his existence?

"This needs further investigation. But my informant told me an interesting tidbit..."

When Joel finished his explanation, he was beaming with pride, and the aria made a grand entrance once again!

"Although the Gear Gang's ambitions are set on eastward expansion, their base is constantly shrinking, moving westward towards the sea!"

Facing west towards the sea?

There's something in the sea!

Guan Bai immediately made this connection.

"Yol, perhaps we could look into the recent situation on the West Coast next..."

"Of course, I already thought of that! Then I'll get back to work, Lord Kanpaku!"

Joel jumped up, spun around, and went into the inner room.

Guan Bai's eyes twitched as he savored Joel's words.

Is this considered a reference to the butler joke?

But you're really reliable, Intelligence Girl!

Because the satellite area is an abandoned city, few people would make this kind of record, so Joel has been very busy these days.

Meanwhile, Kanpaku was also attacking the Gearmen, swiping his card wallet while gathering intelligence.

However, sometimes they would be intercepted by Izayoi Aki, and even those low-level thugs who were caught didn't know any core secrets.

Two days later, even earlier than Bijor's intelligence, came the information from the police department—

It's Kanpaku's turn to play D.
