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

A-Warrior: "This author's plot is pretty good, it's got the vibe!", "Damn, this is getting exciting!", "When will you write 'The Trap'?"

B-Plot-Focused Viewers: "What exactly is the protagonist?", "What's with the demon race plot hole?", "What have we been tricked into believing?", "What's underwater in the Uncharted Territory?", "Was Bai Tianqiu partying in his past life?"

C-Romance Fan: "When will you finally get close to the Siren?", "When will the male and female leads reveal their true identities?", "Author, start a harem!", "I want to sit at the table with the narcissus at the wedding!"

D-Brainless Party: "I don't understand it, but it's so much fun." "Even dogs don't play Yu-Gi-Oh!"

E-True Fan: "Author, you smell so good!", "Dark Duel Begins, I'll Bet an Extra Chapter!", "Take this [Master Certification] and give me an extra chapter!"

F-Kuroko: "Generating electricity? Next time, for sure." "You're playing Yu-Gi-Oh! and you still want gifts from me?"

Are you on the first floor?

Yi Lan's puzzled voice came from the supercomputing ring.

"I've been here for half an hour," Luo Bai said, tidying up the cards. "Let's have a brief chat with the team members."

【...】

There was a long silence on the other end.

I'm going down now.

[Is the training plan written down?]

"Uh..." Luo Bai gave an awkward laugh and said, "I didn't write it..."

【you…】

Before Yi Lan could erupt in anger, he quickly tried to salvage the situation: "But!"

“I…have a suitable training opponent.”

He wasn't actually sure, but when he was thinking about the training plan at the store last night, he had a bold guess and confirmed the plan with the program manager.

The program replied: "[Attempting to update...]"

The update was completed this morning.

Luo Bai suddenly gained a new understanding of the table program. This thing was not a "deus ex machina" that transcended the world, but rather a product of some powerful being within the world.

Based on the fact that the program cannot understand words such as "Earth", "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and "YGO", it needs to be explained by the store manager and then updated.

The training idea is very bold.

We'll have to try to see how it actually goes.

[A suitable training opponent?]

As Yi Lan walked downstairs, she asked.

[Have you scheduled a practice match? Which fortress?]

“A mysterious place.” Luo Bai activated his riddle-solving tool. “Come down and bring me a bottle of water.”

"I've been lecturing them for over half an hour, and not one of these little brats has even brought me a glass of water."

"None of them will escape later!"

You didn't arrange a meeting at a level 5 fortress, did you...?

"answer--"

Luo Bai hung up the call and looked at Jiang Shu again, saying, "Would it be convenient for you to take a look at the structure?"

“Yes…yes.” Jiang Shu paused for a moment, then handed over his [Avengers of the Dead] deck.

Luo Bai took the deck, flipping through it one by one, muttering to himself, "You're... a bit too focused on playing it safe..."

The deck is very straightforward, with no "maximum card" (abstract card) in it; it's a very standard deck with high card efficiency and versatile spell/trap cards.

Additionally, it features N card fusion, making it very much a "Level 4 Fortress".

"[Strong Gold Pot] Only one card?" Luo Bai asked, raising his eyes. "I suggest going for three."

"Ritual decks are very dependent on hand size."

The characteristic of a ritual deck is that if you can't collect all the ritual monsters, ritual spells, and ritual materials, your hand is basically useless; in short, it's easy to get stuck with a bad hand.

Unlike [Shadow Spirit Robe], [Dragon Radiance], and [Solemn Voice], which have ample resources for searching their own lineage, [Revenge of the Dead] basically relies on [Ten Thousand Hands God] as a supplement.

It doesn't consume extra nutrients, making it suitable for use with the [Strong Gold Pot].

"【Strong Gold Pot】..." Jiang Shu looked somewhat troubled, "There are only three in the team..."

"If possible...who wouldn't want that..."

"Hiss..." Luo Bai gasped, "I knew the team wasn't wealthy, but I really didn't expect..."

"You're fifth in line and you still won't get a card...?"

Jiang Shu gave a bitter smile, said nothing more, and looked extremely embarrassed.

Just as Luo Bai was trying to learn more about the team, a noisy voice rang out from not far away.

"Team Leader Zhou... no, Zhou Jiaping!" Qiu Ren, ranked second in the team, sneered, "A wise man submits to circumstances."

There's no future in staying in this lousy place.

"Considering the years we've been on the same team, I can help you get an immigration spot."

Zhou Jiaping tried to calm himself down and said in a deep voice, "Do you really have to leave the team at this time?"

"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave once we're relegated!" Qiu Ren roared, his face flushed.

"We haven't even started yet!" Zhou Jiaping retorted. "Are we definitely going to lose?! Who said that!"

The two core members of the team were arguing heatedly, and the other team members stepped forward to try to persuade them. Luo Bai remained calm and composed in the crowd.

"Win? Heh..." Qiu Ren chuckled, his emotions suddenly turning agitated. "What do we have to win with!"

"We're the only two decent players on the team..."

“This…” He pointed to Nanyang Ling not far away, swallowed, “violent…thugs…”

He could clearly hear his voice trembling, and had no doubt that Nanyang Ling had suddenly attacked him.

In fact, Nanyang Ling did intend to use force to prevent Qiu Ren from leaving the team.

"That room over there..." Qiu Ren pointed to Bai Yun's private training room and sneered, "Heh... blind man!"

"Killed by the rules... hahaha..."

"And who's the other starter again..." He seemed unable to stop laughing, "Oh... Jiang Shu..."

"They're always bragging about how high their win rate is..."

"It's always the same thing – my hand gets stuck during matches! Go complain to God!"

Hearing this from not far away, Jiang Shu felt angry and wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words back.

In the Duelist League, defeat is the original sin.

There is no excuse; 0-1 is an eternal disgrace.

In the previous round, in order of appearance, Zhou Jiaping won 2-1, Qiu Ren won 1-1, Nanyang Ling won 1-1, Jiang Shu lost 0-1, and Bai Yun lost 0-1.

"Being wiped out by one person and then three..." Qiu Ren's maniacal and chilling laughter pierced the hearts of every team member.

"Leading this bunch of useless trash..."

How can we win?!

The air became extremely quiet, and no one dared to refute him. He spoke even more excitedly.

"I don't know what the league was thinking, firing the coach at this time... hahaha..."

"It's hopeless!"

"Bian Yuelong is beyond saving!"

"Snapped--"

A slap rang out, Qiu Ren's laughter stopped abruptly, and he covered his face in astonishment, looking at the person who had slapped him.

Nanyang Ling.

Qiu Ren was right, this person really is a violent element.

"If you're going to get out, then get out now," Nanyang Ling said coldly. "Don't overestimate yourself."

"Nanyang..." Qiu Ren gritted his teeth, then withdrew his hand halfway through its swing.

His remaining rationality told him that he should offend no one but the Nanyang family, even if Nanyang Ling was only a collateral relative.

"You'll all regret it when the fortress is downgraded." Qiu Ren said fiercely, taking out two [Strong Gold Pots] and smashing them onto the ground.

"Snapped--"

The crystal card bloomed into a stunning glass flower on the ground, then shattered into pieces under the light.

Chapter 243 You call him a newcomer?

For various stupid reasons.

Between chapters 177 and 178, I was forced to update a bonus chapter, chapter 17X, which mainly tells the story of the first meeting between the Sirens and Ilan. I'll count that as 1,000 words, so this chapter will add 1,000 words.

The sound of the two [Strong Gold Pots] shattering continued to echo in the air, and Jiang Shu's pupils dilated uncontrollably.

That was a card he had always wanted, but Qiu Ren was ranked higher than him, so the team gave him the card first, and now it's being treated like trash.

"You son of a bitch!" Jiang Shu swung his fist and charged forward, but was held back by a group of team members.

"Don't be impulsive!"

"A warning will be issued for team members engaging in private fights!"

"The regulators are still watching!"

The crowd trying to break up the fight separated the two, who were exchanging insults from a distance when a sudden voice rang out.

"The Magic Card is a team resource, so we should compensate for this, right?" Luo Bai said calmly, looking at the debris on the ground.

His face was expressionless, and he appeared neither sad nor angry.

"And who are you?" Qiu Ren shouted coldly. "Can't I afford to pay for two rare cards?!"
