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

"You don't know, I'll attack the Heavenly Hand first!"

He waved his hands and glanced across the room.

"No dating allowed at this event!"

Then he made a gesture with the numbers "three" and "eight".

"Three thousand attacks, broken by a substitute, 8000 base points!"

"This can be killed instantly?!"

"Who knew that out of that bunch of duelists, Link 5 would appear!"

"Unfortunately, it was too dark then, and I couldn't see clearly what he had piled up..."

"Originally 3000 attack, then 5500, then 11000... 11000!"

Jiang Shu's eyes were glazed over as he repeatedly emphasized the number 11000 to everyone.

"When 11000 shells came flying at me, I was like a robot..."

"Ahem!" Luo Bai couldn't help but cough lightly, drawing curious glances from everyone.

"It's nothing, just thinking about sad things."

"Go on."

"Oh..." Jiang Shu heard this and continued his explanation, "11000 cannons came blasting at me, and I quickly threw out the [Kuri Ball] in my hand. Guess what happened?"

It was so captivating that no one responded.

"My [Kuriboh] spell was nullified!!"

As the incredulous words fell, the air suddenly turned cold.

"Cough!" Luo Bai couldn't help but cough again, covering his mouth and coughing heavily, which was very impolite.

Chapter 256 Pre-War Meeting (Part 1)

"Coach?" Seeing Luo Bai cough twice, Bina asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the infirmary?"

"Reimbursement is available..."

She moved her seat closer to his ear and spoke very softly; it was clear she was genuinely kind-hearted.

"I'm fine." Luo Bai waved his hand and then asked Bi Nai'er, "What about you? What kind of beast, ugh, what kind of senior did you encounter?"

Bina's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed with awe: "I've met a very handsome hero senior!"

"[Sunrise Man]!"

She had a smile on her face, and struck the corresponding pose for each card name she mentioned.

"【Hell Rift Demon】!"

"【Flash New Universe】!"

"[Destroy the Phoenix] and—"

"【Masked Hero - Dark Claw】!"

After he finished posing, applause erupted.

"He's at least a human being," Luo Bai murmured, clapping his hands. "He didn't add a whole [Blood Demon D]..."

"I didn't expect your small frame to be able to withstand it."

He looked at Binael with some surprise. It shouldn't be difficult for [Shining Neo-Cosmic Wingman] and [Sincere Neo-Cosmic Wingman] to deal 8,000 damage in one hit, yet she didn't faint?

"Did you activate resonance?"

Luo Bai asked in a doubtful voice, and everyone else also cast curious glances. The information on Bi Nai'er showed that she was [Zhen Ying], but the resonance monster was not filled in.

"No...no..." Binel hurriedly waved her hands, stammering an explanation, "The resonance with [Sigriun] hasn't been successful yet..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until she fell silent, not even daring to mention the matter of the [Twelve Beasts] mixing with the [Iron Beasts].

"I see..." Luo Bai didn't intend to delve into the matter further, and turned to Nanyang Ling to ask, "What happened to you this time?"

All the curious gazes turned to Nanyang Ling, but he retorted to Luo Bai, "Coach, you were the one who arranged this person, yet you're asking this question?"

A sharp glint flashed in Nanyang Ling's eyes: "You don't know the origins and background of that group of people either?"

"Their origins are clear; they're all old acquaintances," Luo Bai said calmly. "Their methods are unclear, but I can only say they're probably..."

“Very powerful.” Nanyang Ling took over the conversation in a deep voice, interrupting Luo Bai’s subsequent use of the word “beast.”

"I encountered [Black Feather]."

The moment the words left his mouth, the air seemed to freeze.

"Our team can't afford Shang Yu's appearance fee!" Ye Jing exclaimed in surprise.

A level 4 fortress can't afford to have a celebrity sparring partner; it's best to just dream about it.

“It doesn’t seem like Teacher Shang Yu…” Nan Yangling frowned, her voice full of worry, “His first attack wasn’t [Armored Raven], but rather…”

"【Bitter Sword Bird】, 【Crimson Lotus Demon Abyss】, and three 【Black Winged Assault Dragons】?"

“Three roasted chicken dragons…” Luo Bai was filled with awe, leaned back slightly, felt a chill run down his spine, and gasped.

"They might be celebrating the New Year."

"Consider this a New Year's greeting to you, Year of the Dragon."

"Huh?" Nanyang Ling was taken aback and raised her head slightly.

Luo Bai ignored him and turned to Zhou Jiaping: "What kind of benefactor did the captain encounter this time?"

It is particularly emphasized that the "benefactor" is not the "precious object".

"I...I've encountered two very...opponents..." Zhou Jiaping seemed troubled, unable to find a suitable word to describe the opponents he had encountered.

"What deck?" Luo Bai prompted him to continue.

Zhou Jiaping pondered for a moment, as if making a firm decision to personally go to the battlefield, his eyes flashing with determination: "[Golden Kingdom]".

"Wow—"

The atmosphere became unusually cold, and even Luo Bai himself sensed something was wrong.

The "President" of the "Golden Kingdom" in this world seems to wield considerable power.

This is like a small rural village where the cars you usually see are Volkswagens, and suddenly one day a bunch of BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes appear – cars owned by celebrities.

However, it is still within the scope of understanding.

But what if a car used exclusively by a national leader appeared…

The situation has become somewhat sensitive.

Everyone turned to look at Luo Bai, their eyes filled with awe, curiosity, surprise, and fear.

"Coach..." Ye Jing forced a fawning smile, her voice more humble than ever before, "Aren't you... condescending a little..."

Someone who can connect with the "President" is coming to be a coach in a Level 4 fortress?

This is like someone who has dined with a national leader going to a remote mountain village to become the village chief.

"This..." Luo Bai was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he said truthfully, "He is not the [President]."

If I'm not mistaken...

He looked up at Zhou Jiaping and asked in a deep voice, "That person's [Golden Minister] doesn't have a halo, right?"

"Hiss..." Zhou Jiaping gasped, realizing, "It really is! The card spirit that person summoned has no sentience!"

“Oh—” Binel exclaimed, echoing, “Yes, yes, no spirit at all!”

"Only electric shocks, no physical impact!"

In a normal duel, Kaling will inflict two types of damage. One is a pain sensor that the duelist has equipped and set a level for, which can be canceled.

Another, earlier instance of damage was the release of Kaling's own spiritual energy, a tactile impact that even online duels (metaverse) could not stop.

As the story progresses, the spirituality inherent in the Kaling will increase, and its [realism], [impact], and [intelligence] will become stronger.

"Right? No problem." Luo Bai said innocently, "They're all new cards, for ordinary people to use."

"They're all new cards?!"

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices filled with disbelief.

“No, there’s another possibility…” Yi Lan’s pupils dilated as she thought of something, and she hugged herself tightly, her arms trembling as she tried to calm herself down.

"[Solitary confinement]..."

Generally speaking, there are two possibilities if a card lacks spirituality: it's a newly created card or the card spirit has encountered six lifetimes of evil confinement.

"What's wrong?" Luo Bai noticed that Yi Lan was acting strangely and gently patted her shoulder, whispering.

This was the first time I'd ever seen her with this expression.

Yi Lan suddenly stood up, took two steps back, her eyes seemed to burst open, and her gaze towards Luo Bai was filled with fear and anger.

More uncertainty than anything else.

We're still missing some evidence before we're ready to draw our swords.

Just then, the stubborn Zhou Jiaping, oblivious to the change in atmosphere, continued to recount his ordeal.

"The second deck I encountered was even stranger..."

He frowned, stroked his chin, and tried hard to recall.

"I can't see the card name..."

"But there's a card projection..."

"It's strange that it lacks spirituality..."

"What did you say?!" This statement completely ignited the conference room.
