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

Team members' salaries are closely related to their performance; if they don't perform well, they can only receive the base salary.

His most impressive achievement was getting a kill in the World Championship. Assuming he won the team competition, he could earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money for each kill he netted.

The players on the field are basically decided by the coach, which has led to many unspoken rules in the fortress.

"Next!" Luo Bai yawned, looked around again, and said that he had basically beaten up everyone.

Everyone fell silent, terrified of being beaten.

"Want to play a round?" Luo Bai glanced at Jiang Shu and invited him by name.

He noticed that this teammate was focused on the duel and didn't even glance at Shu Yu'er; he was a promising talent.

The excellent quality of not choosing a target is there, but it's unclear how well it is actually implemented.

"Me?" Jiang Shu pointed to herself in a daze, a little taken aback by the sudden invitation.

"Since I've been specifically invited..."

He smiled slightly, adjusted his glasses, and sat down in the red seat: "Duelmen cannot desert their posts."

Even with a calculated win rate of only 1.55%...

"Bian Yuelong-Jiang Shu, I would like to learn from you."

“Bian Yuelong-Luo Bai.” Luo Bai responded with a gesture of respect, “Please enlighten me.”

Double update progress on the 4th: 99.9%

Chapter 240 Onboarding Duel (5)

After glancing at Shu Yu'er, Luo Bai changed his deck from [Cursed Eye] to [Scrap Metal Machine].

If you can avoid causing trouble, it's best not to mess with people's mentality.

The sudden change of deck caught the others off guard, but it didn't affect the progress of the game.

"Duel!" (X2)

"My turn." Jiang Shu glanced at his hand, his glasses reflecting the light, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he had a good hand and might be able to achieve that 1.55% win rate.

"Preparation, main point."

Luo Bai covered his hand with his cards, took a deep breath, and said, "No traps, quick move."

"Activate Ritual Spell - [Return of the Dead], send [Corrupting Vengeful Dead] from the Deck to the Graveyard." Jiang Shu played a card and shouted resolutely.

Devouring the Dead

"Ritual Summoning!"

"Descend!"

"【Returning Soul, Avenging the Dead: Demon Slayer】!"

A mini projector rose, its eerie aura carrying the flames of vengeance.

Returning Soul, Avenging the Dead, Demon Slayer

"Avengers who died..." Luo Bai frowned, "I haven't seen many of them..."

Strictly speaking, he has only occasionally seen it in the Undying Realm, and the 6-axis is suitable for producing [Lady].

“【Devouring Corruption】A graveyard effect.” Jiang Shu pondered, then displayed a trap card, saying, “Search...【Avenger of the Dead】.”

Luo Bai pressed the [Card Check] button, shrugged, and asked, "Let's see the effect."

Searching for trap cards is probably a trap I'll fall into in turn 2.

This [Resurrection] spell isn't used much by anyone who's undead, so we need to check its effectiveness.

"Oh... okay." Jiang Shu was slightly taken aback, then slowly handed over the [Resurrection and Regeneration] card, and smiled with relief, "The first time I saw you use the card to check, I thought you had a card spirit catalog with you."

“Over ten thousand cards…who has the time for that…” Luo Bai said casually as he took the cards, his gaze sweeping over the effects panel. Jiang Shu’s expression turned somewhat strange, and he muttered softly, “Over ten thousand cards?”

"Is this referring to the number of magic cards?"

"Impossible... The alliance only released over eight thousand images; even if there were omissions, it's impossible..."

"That's enough." Luo Bai returned the card.

Jiang Shu snapped out of his wild speculation and continued, "Cover up a monster."

"Activate ritual magic - [Birth of the Returning Soul of the Dead]".

"Liberate the Demon Slayer and the Monster Gaider on the liberation field, ritual summon!"

"Evolve!"

"【Returning Souls to Avenge the Dead. Slaying Evil Heroes】!"

The miniature projection of "Demon Slayer" dissipated, giving rise to even more frenzied flames and death energy. After "Demon Slayer" came "Evil Extermination".

Returning Souls to Avenge the Dead. The Hero Who Slays Evil.

"【Demon Slayer】Graveyard effect..." Having successfully summoned a terminal, Jiang Shu looked much more relaxed. "Search for another 【Birth】, then send 【Demon Slayer】 from the deck to the graveyard."

"Activate the ritual magic [Birth of the Returning Soul] again."

"Except for the [Demon Slayer] and [Cerberus] in the graveyard, this ritual summons the [Returning Soul Avenger: Evil Slayer] from the graveyard!"

"【Cerberus】?" Luo Bai was taken aback at first, then quickly realized, "Oh... that monster..."

He stroked his chin, carefully examining the area opposite him.

"Ritual materials are taken from the graveyard, and ritual monsters are also summoned from the graveyard. No wonder your former coach banned [Mass Universe] and [Dimensional Rift]..."

The moment the word "coach" was mentioned, the air became extremely heavy.

"You've come at a rather inopportune time," Jiang Shu said regretfully. "The coaching position is vacant... and we don't know how much longer we can continue..."

If the fortress fails to avoid relegation, the team will likely undergo a major overhaul. Newcomers and long-term underperforming players will be the first to be affected, followed by accountability for the starting players and coaches.

"I can't give up this starting position."

Jiang Shu looked at Luo Bai, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Gai Yi, end of round."

Pure Vengeful Dead of a Level 4 Fortress

Two previous entries: [Returning Souls to Avenge the Dead. Slaying Evil Hero] x2

After: [The Resurrection and Rebirth of the Vengeful Dead]

Hand: 0

Red team LP: 4000

"My turn, draw a card," Luo Bai said calmly.

The Forbidden Holy Lance

"pretty--"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a pillow had been delivered to someone who was sleepy.

"Preparation, main point."

Lobo pressed the card check button to confirm the opponent's field, graveyard, and banished zone information.

"With [Evil Slayer] on the field, the opponent cannot target other cards by effect... Two [Evil Slayer]... cannot target the entire field..."

"Two generations of bankruptcy..."

"Back row monster [Carrion] can release one of the opponent's level-based monsters..."

"【Cerberus】Material effect: Banish one of the opponent's spells/traps from the second-fastest slot..."

Summary: No target selection throughout the game, two substitutions, one front-row attack, and a second-fastest card banished as a spell/trap. It has a real advantage against [Curse Eye], and [Taiyin] is quite vulnerable to banishment.

As a Tier 4 fortress team.

This event was very well done.

"Well done." Luo Bai praised, and after finishing the card check, Jiang Shu smiled slightly. Before he could even say thank you, he drew a card and said, "Summon [Scrap Metal Recycler]."

Jiang Shu's face immediately darkened, and his smile froze.

"Recycler effect." Luo Bai began punching with a blank expression.

“Pile... [Red Crystal Sparrow]”

Upon seeing this card, the onlookers exclaimed in surprise: "[Crystal Mechanism]?!"

"The rumors are true?!"

Several people started huddled together, whispering, "I knew it was true... the agent is planning to buy a [water purifier], spending a fortune..."

"How could they give it to a newbie..."

"This newcomer's approach is a bit unconventional..."

"The dean and the agent were going back and forth through the back door?"

Shu Yu'er, who was not far away, heard these gossips and her whole demeanor turned gloomy, but she did nothing. There was no evidence yet, so she couldn't make a move.

All she has now is evidence of Luo Bai's pretentiousness.

But showing off isn't illegal, nor is playing with [water machines] or [cursed eyes].

We need to find an opportunity...

Capture the scene of this slut's illicit transaction with the dean!

Luo Bai suddenly felt a jolt on his back, as if he were being stared at by a female ghost. His body trembled, and he continued, "Uh—except for [Crimson Crystal Sparrow], Special Summon token."

"Two bodies..."

"Wait a minute," Jiang Shu interrupted, adjusting his glasses, "I need to think this over."

“Okay.” Luo Bai had no objection.

The main purpose of the training session is practice; winning or losing is not the key.

After a long while.

Jiang Shu reconnects: "Open the face-down card - [Resurrection of the Vengeful Dead], target [Scrap Metal Recycler], Tribute this card, and Special Summon a token of the same level."
