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

After leaving the hotel, Kanpaku headed straight for the commercial street.

With the Lucky Cup approaching, businesses have put up banners advertising "discounts" and "promotions," hoping to make a fortune during this holiday season.

Residents also enjoyed the atmosphere of the upcoming event and went shopping on the streets.

There were queues outside several shops, especially those displaying promotional pictures for lucky cups.

Just because of Jack's reputation, residents are happy to line up to buy things they don't usually need.

It's safe to say that the king has real influence; he's really good at boosting consumption.

Following the crowd, Kanpaku arrived at the card shop.

Pushing open the door and passing the customers choosing card holders, Kanpaku saw the chubby boss.

He wore black glasses and had a somewhat shrewd smile on his face.

This looks so damn familiar...

Isn't this the card shop owner from the Card Power series?

In the game, Kanpaku has spent at least three million DP at his card shop!

He still remembers those days when he was so busy opening card packs that he was practically spitting blood.

Wow, a familiar stranger.

"Welcome, welcome! Just bring the card packs you want to me to pay."

The owner's deep voice rang out, welcoming the new guests.

Even if you don't buy card packs, you can still enjoy a duel at the shop's card table. We offer free warm water and snacks!

Guan Bai could hear the joy in the boss's voice.

Clearly, the high sales volume in the past few days has made him a fortune.

Kanpaku was hoping to ride on the boss's good fortune and get a few rare cards.

He glanced at the cardholders on the shelf.

The style of these card holders is not much different from those sold in the card shops before I traveled through time.

The only difference might be the cards inside.

Anyway, you can tell what theme each card pack corresponds to just by looking at the cover.

Guan Bai picked out a few boxes that interested him, and adhering to the idea of ​​drawing new cards rather than old ones, he also took some of the latest card packs.

After paying, Kanpaku opened the package right there in the store.

This was the first time he had ever opened a real card since he transmigrated to this world.

I wonder if opening this long-awaited package will bring me some long-awaited good luck.

There were other customers opening their bags nearby, both European and African.

One of the unlucky bears opened ten boxes, and all of them ended up being skewed into fifteen.

He is currently wailing and banging on the table, drawing pitying glances from onlookers.

Some bloodthirsty viewers, seeing that Kanpaku was also planning to open the bag, surrounded him like piranhas smelling blood.

"Let's give it a try!"

"If I get a rare card, I'll absorb some of its good luck!"

"Be careful not to cut the card..."

The chattering sounds around him made Guan Bai, who was originally in a peaceful state of mind, feel inexplicably stressed.

He took a deep breath, picked up the scissors, and cut open the first three cardholders.

Before he could even see the card clearly, the audience behind him had already started shouting.

"It's a Synchro Monster! It's actually a Synchro Monster!!"

"Silver Shattered Evil Emperor!"

Kanpaku looked closely and saw that it was indeed so.

It boasts an excellent stat line of 2400 ATK for a six-star unit, and the convenient effect of removing one card upon Normal Summon.

Although this card's effect is now outdated, in the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh!, it was definitely one of the most useful main deck attackers.

In the past, this was the absolute core of the Emperor deck, a high-level ace!

This thing is perfect for my next-generation deck.

Not only can it be used as a superior removal card, but it can also be used in conjunction with the controller to play the Black Motorcycle Man for a secondary removal.

It truly is a card with multiple uses.

This card was won in the first three packs, what a great start!

Just as surprised as Kanpaku was, the onlookers were also astonished as Kanpaku was.

"This is the latest rare card! The price has skyrocketed!"

"Still silver fragments? Is this a sacrifice of lifespan?!"

Hearing others' incredulous exclamations, Guan Bai curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

No, the European sturgeon has an extremely long lifespan.

Guan Bai then cut open three more card holders.

The cards in this pack aren't very good; most of them are useless cards with the DARK and EARTH attributes.

However, I still managed to draw two captains who were charging into battle and one Earth Emperor, which were still pretty useful cards.

Just as Kanpaku was about to cut open the remaining card packs, a green-haired man appeared opposite him.

"Excuse me... are you Mr. Kanpaku?"

Guan Bai pressed down on the card holder on the table, looking at the newcomer with some confusion.

The other person was dressed in a black suit and was followed by two bodyguards.

This person doesn't seem to have good intentions...

Guan Bai sensed a dangerous atmosphere in the air.

He squinted and questioned the man in front of him.

"Excuse me, how did you know my name?"

"I'm probably not a famous person."

The green-haired man smiled.

"This is not the place to talk. I would like to invite you to a more private place to discuss this."

A more private place?

Why would I go there? To make it easier for those two burly men behind you to beat me up?

Or perhaps you'll be knocked out by mysterious incense or sedative black tea?

Although Guan Bai was confident in the protection of the spirits, he always understood the principle that it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

The green-haired man smiled and said in a light tone.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kanpaku, the place I want to invite you to is the Duel Arena."

Duel Arena?

There are many people there, so it's not easy to set up traps like sleeping gas.

However, because of the large flow of people, it is easier for people to hide in the crowd.

"I can talk to you privately, but I have to choose the location."

His smile remained unchanged, as if he had everything under control.

"Can."

I can choose any location?

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

He needs to know what this person wants to do in order to take targeted measures.

Guan Bai looked at the green-haired man's expression and gave a wicked smile.

"Wait until I finish opening the card packs."

"no problem."

The green-haired man remained as still as a mountain.

He kept opening the remaining card packs without stopping.

Two whole stacks of cards, mostly blank cards with no effect, and some useless spell traps.

But he actually managed to smoke quite a lot of good stuff!

Zombie Carrier, Pyramid Turtle, two Death Knights, and one Thunder King!

His luck was so good that the surrounding audience gasped in amazement.

Guan Bai simply shrugged.

I was lucky, there's nothing I can do about it~

More and more people gathered around, pointing and whispering about Guan Bai and the green-haired man.

Guan Bai couldn't help but feel a wave of embarrassment.

The green-haired man maintained a smile throughout.

This person is shameless...

Such a thought flashed through Guan Bai's mind.

"Let's go."

Guan Bai stood up and looked down at the green-haired man.

The latter, despite Guan Bai's condescending gaze, remained unfazed and smiled.

"Then please."

What a bastard!

So you can keep your composure like that?

Guan Bai turned around and led the group out of the card shop to a restaurant near the city's public security bureau.

After we sat down, the green-haired man handed me his business card.

Guan Bai looked down at the image on the business card, and a man's voice reached his ears.

"Mr. Kanpaku, my name is Midorino Kokawa."

"This is Karen's dueling manager. I've come to offer you some valuable advice."

"I would like to ask you to lose to my duelist in tomorrow's challenge match."
