Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

[Both duelists, please check your decks.]

Luo Bai silently took out the [Water Machine] deck and replaced the three [Whirlwind] cards that were prohibited by the rules with [Amethyst Dragon], [Topaz], and [Black Crystal].

Next, he took out the extra [Water Machine] cards, which included more than twenty spare cards. He picked out fourteen cute ones and stuffed them into the extra [Curse Eye] cards to show off.

After doing all this, he looked up at his opponent.

He was a burly man wearing a thin white shirt, with a gruesome scar across his face, tattoos covering his arms, a slave collar around his neck, and chains around his feet.

The sign on his chest read "Grizzly Bear".

Grizzly gave Luo Bai a quick glance, then walked expressionlessly toward the supervisor's window, the chains scraping against the ground with a harsh clanging sound.

The supervisor's window resembles a security booth, with a supervisor sitting inside, along with a computer and three selectable card decks.

Let's finish this quickly.

The supervisor glanced at the betting situation on the computer screen, selected a "suitable" deck for Grizzly, glanced at Luo Bai not far away, and curled a cold smile.

"He definitely can't withstand this blow."

Winning in the Dark Game doesn't necessarily mean having your health completely depleted. Often, a single hit dealing 3000 damage is too much for most people to handle, unless they're a burly guy like Grizzly Bear.

"Win five more games, and you'll be free."

Grizzly Bear took the deck, a ghostly voice lingering in his ears.

His expression remained calm, as if he had been working overtime for 48 hours straight.

His face was deathly pale, and he seemed utterly despondent.

I've listened to the song "Freedom" seven times this month.

You can put on the Duel Disk instantly.

His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had come to life.

Both players place their decks.

Wearing an electric shock device.

Both players' decks are correct.

"Duel!" (X2)

The moment the sound faded, high-voltage current flowed through the iron cage, cutting off any escape route, and cheers erupted from the crowd.

...

...

Struggle progress: 10/30

Chapter 193 Duel in the Cage (2)

A few minutes ago.

"Look, the grizzly bear cage is open!"

"You gathered 500 mg so quickly?"

More and more people flocked over.

"Which hothead dares to challenge the Grizzlies? Are they that reckless?"

"Wow, this young man is quite handsome!"

"Who cares? Hurry up and place your bets, there's only half a minute left."

"Do you think this newcomer can last even one round?"

The discussion among the onlookers grew increasingly heated, with almost everyone believing that the Grizzlies would win. The only uncertainty was the base score at which the Grizzlies would win. The odds would be even higher if both the winning team and the base score range were correctly predicted.

"Bullshit, I've never seen anyone last a single round against the Grizzlies."

"Buy [Red Wins] & [8000LP] with me, and you'll own a villa by the sea."

"Come on, let's play it safe. I'll just bet on [Red wins]. Every little bit helps."

...

"Oh, Dean, what a coincidence."

Just then, a striking red figure gracefully weaved through the crowd. It was a charming dancer in red who walked straight toward Yi Lan.

Yi Lan withdrew her gaze from the noisy crowd and landed on the dancer in red, her brows furrowing slightly: "You don't go to the team's training, you just mess around here all day."

"Team training is so boring, it's much more interesting here." The dancer in red giggled, exuding charm.

"What? Is that guy upstairs a new team member?"

She glanced at Luo Bai in the iron cage, then turned to wink and smile at Yi Lan.

"You seem to care about him quite a bit; he's certainly handsome!"

"Giggle-"

"Could it be that the Dean is falling for someone? Oh dear, he's got that kind of taste—"

Yi Lan's face turned cold, and impatience and seriousness flashed in her eyes: "Have you made enough of a scene? If you have, go back to training."

"I haven't earned enough money yet." The dancer in red was not intimidated by the cold words. Instead, she flirtatiously nuzzled Yi Lan's shoulder and teased her with a charming and seductive manner, "Hey, what do you think of this round?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, level seven pain..."

"Can the new player last even one round?"

"Who knows?" Yi Lan fiddled with the negative square crystal in her hand, then suddenly stopped, resolutely betting another 500 milligrams [Blue side wins], but without choosing the LP range.

The initial 300 milligrams are merely the start of a dark duel, with fixed odds of 1:1.

The odds will be determined based on the betting activity of the general public. Currently, the odds for a single bet on "Blue Team Wins" are 3.2 times.

The bet of 500 milligrams of negative square crystals immediately caused a broadcast.

[Grizzly Bears in a Cage, bet 500mg on the blue team to win]

"Holy crap, what the hell?!"

"Five...five hundred? Is it New Year's?"

The onlookers were all shocked, as if struck by lightning, speechless with astonishment.

500 milligrams is worth about 60 gold points, which is no small amount.

"Dean, are you serious?" The dancer in red looked at Yi Lan with disbelief. "You wouldn't have embezzled public funds, would you...?"

"Isn't this going too far?"

"It's not my money anyway," Yi Lan retorted.

The player initially bet 300 milligrams in the dark game, then placed an additional 500 outside the room, instantly losing 800 milligrams. With a total of only two grams of chips, the player had almost expended half of their chips.

"Don't blame me for being wasteful."

"He said to just bet on him to win..."

...

The blue side goes first.

The AI ​​referee's voice faded.

Both sides draw their initial five cards.

“My turn!” Luo Bai took a deep breath and said, “Prepare, main.”

He looked at the cards in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of regret and contemplation.

【Trian's Trap】, 【Forced Escape Device】, 【Book of the Moon】, 【Cursed Eye of the Moon】, 【Cursed Eye's Familiar, Katobelapas】.

"There's no [Sarifolia]..."

Having failed to draw any of the nine activation cards, Luo Bai felt a pang of disappointment and a shift in his strategic thinking.

"Summon the [Trian Trap]!"

He decisively slapped a card, the earth trembled slightly, and the antlion girl with pointed head broke through the ground.

"Activate effect, search for... [Naraku's Pitfall]."

“Covering three sheets.”

"End of round."

Forward: [Trian's Trap]

Backstage: [Forced Escape], [Naraku], [Tsuki no Shu]

Hand 2, Blue side LP: 8000

The simple sequence of one in front and three behind sparked a variety of opinions in the audience.

"Wow, a newbie playing [Trap]?" The dancer in red was slightly surprised. "Wow, he's rich. Has he collected [Trap], [Cave], and [Hole]?"

"Don't ask," Yi Lan replied indifferently. "I don't know his deck either."

She thought to herself, "How could this deck possibly get silver coins?"

It is stable, but lacks offensive capabilities.

"You bet 500 without even knowing the decklist..."

The dancer in red rolled her eyes at Yi Lan.

...

"My turn," Grizzly said in a deep voice, "Draw a card!"

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from him, like a vortex whipped up by a raging storm.

"Preparation, main point."

Grizzly's sharp gaze swept across the field, and he gave a slightly confident and proud smile.

"Hmph! A [Trap Demon], huh?"
