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

"During the most helpless days after I lost my sight, it was Binaire who took care of me..."

"She tells me hero stories every day..."

"They'd even get me chanting weird slogans..."

As Baiyun spoke, she seemed to recall a funny scene, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.

Luo Bai smiled faintly, a hint of wistfulness in his eyes, and said softly, "Sometimes, I really envy you for having friends who can deliver epic cards."

A hint of longing flickered in his eyes, as if he were imagining that kind of friendship.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun was slightly taken aback, then asked in return, "Is it not possible for the Dean?"

"Weren't you...that...?"

She seemed to be thinking of something, a hint of shyness flashing across her face. She gently gestured with her hands, making a motion of touching two fingers together and then separating them, silently hinting at a kiss or something more intimate.

"Where did you hear this gossip?" Luo Bai's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Baiyun pouted and chose to remain silent, clearly unwilling to betray her friend.

“Her,” Luo Bai’s gaze shifted to Yi Lan in the audience, and he sighed, looking up, “she’s a very goal-oriented person.”

"She knows exactly what she wants."

He continued, his eyes growing deep: "If one day, I stand in front of her."

She will definitely—

"Push me aside and keep moving forward."

Chapter 339 Fourth-Tier League - Beetle Assembly

"Uh—" Baiyun paused for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"How is the battle going now?"

She can't see the field, and it's difficult for her to understand the situation just by listening to the official commentary.

Luo Bai looked up at the arena and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "We'll win soon."

“The opposite side is [Senra].

"Without [Mountain Spirit], the [Senra] system can't deal with the field of [Avenger of the Dead]. Since it's a card-flipping system, the more Plant-type cards it flips, the stronger the effect."

"If too many external cards are added to a deck, it will affect the quality of card flipping."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun nodded in realization: "Oh—Coach, you know so much, even more than the commentators."

“Your builds are too naive,” Luo Bai remarked. “Once you play against more AI veterans, you’ll realize that compared to their builds, yours are far too straightforward.”

"You can see the whole picture at a glance."

"Just by flipping through the Cardling Catalog, you can learn about deck strategies. The factors that affect the outcome are nothing more than general-purpose cards."

"【Senra】is not compatible with a large number of general-purpose cards. The only one in the family that can play cards without targeting is 【Mountain Spirit】. Even if the opponent has the money to buy one, 【Mountain Spirit】is the fastest card and will be excluded by our side before it can play its effect."

"Oh—" Baiyun was a little stunned.

"Coach, you're quite the smooth talker."

Luo Bai smiled faintly and said, "If I'm gone, you should learn more from the AI ​​predecessors and explore more possibilities for card decks."

"Making it to the playoffs should bring in a lot of sponsorships. I'll talk to my agent about it..."

He looked around to make sure the supervisor, Shu Yu'er, wasn't there, then gave Bai Yun some instructions.

"Prioritize the underworld and get some general-purpose links or oversupplied cards. This is more cost-effective than buying new decks."

Bai Yun frowned as she listened: "Coach, why do you sound like you're giving a plea? Are you leaving Bian Yuelong?"

"I don't know." Luo Bai looked around, a strange sense of crisis filling his body. "I have a feeling that something might happen tonight, so you should be prepared."

"This..." Bai Yun was about to say something.

A burst of amazing cheers reached my ears.

The winner takes all.

[Blue Side]

[Red team's substitution time remaining: 14:59]

"Beautiful!" Zhou Jiaping shouted.

Just as Luo Bai analyzed, in the first round, the [Senluo] player struggled for a round, but at the end of his turn, one monster was banished, one in the back row was banished, and then another monster was eaten by [Resurrection].

T3 Jiang Shu then eliminates one more monster, clears the three monsters in front, and finishes off the empty field by attacking all monsters.

"We won!" Bai Yun clenched his fist and celebrated quietly.

Luo Bai, however, appeared somewhat solemn and nodded: "Mm."

"It's impossible to predict what will happen next."

"Normally, I would choose a standard first-strike deck."

"It's also possible to invest heavily in unlocking cards like [Battle of the Titans], [Book of Total Eclipse], and [Lava Demon]..."

"Then let them go first."

Perhaps due to concerns about the future, he was more talkative today.

"I see," Baiyun murmured, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Luo Bai stared at the arena and said in a deep voice, "It depends on what's on the other side."

【answer--】

The replacement at Sumeru Garden was completed in less than a minute, as if it had been planned in advance.

Luo Bai frowned: "[Beetle Assembly]...I guess we'll have to let it go first."

"The player on the other side, the 'Beetle,' scored two points in the last round, both from the back row."

[Red side, please choose the order of attack]

"Attack from behind." Tang Zhou, the counter-attacking player from Sumeru Garden, didn't hesitate for a moment.

Jiang Shu's pupils constricted; he always felt uneasy whenever he was let go first.

The back row of [Avenging Dead] will only have one copy of its own [Resurrection] card. If the front row is captured, it will be difficult for it to survive.

[Red side chooses to attack later]

[Duel Begins]

"Duel!" (X2)

"My turn." Jiang Shu glanced at his hand, let out a long sigh, and played a card, saying, "Activate [Pot of Greed and Gold], banish six extra cards from the inside, and draw two cards."

The pot is open, and the cards are even better than the last round.

Lady Luck is still on their side.

Tang Zhou, however, seemed unfazed, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Go ahead."

"Draw a card!" Jiang Shu's fingertips swept across the void as he looked up at the opponent and then down at his hand.

A determined glint flashed in his eyes as he began his operation.

Two minutes later.

"Set one card face down, end the turn."

A standard winning hand start.

Two before and one after, two outside, two generations breaking and one liberation, no target audience selected throughout the entire event.

"Hmph." Tang Zhou sneered, "Is that all?"

"My turn, draw a card!"

He smiled slightly and slapped a card.

"Quick-attack magic - [Book of Total Solar Eclipse]!"

"All face-up monsters on the field are now face-down defense positions!"

"Snapped--"

A dazzling burst of light exploded high in the sky, and the two [Evil Slayers] roared, their heads pressed down by the sunlight, and they knelt in the shadows.

"There really is something here," Jiang Shu thought to himself through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha!" Tang Zhou laughed loudly, looking up at the sky. "Feel the insect swarm!"

"I summon the [Beetle-Mounted Damselfly]!"

Beetle damselfly

A crimson beetle-like female warrior emerged from the summoning circle, raising her gun and aiming at the enemy.

"Activate the effect of [Damn], equip a [Beetle Assembly] monster from your hand."

"Open the card!" Jiang Shu shouted hurriedly, "[The Resurrection of the Vengeful Dead]!"

"Release [Damn], Special Summon [Vengeful Dead Token]".

"Go to hell!"

Countless zombie arms emerged from the ground, dragging the [Damn] equipped with [Bumblebee] into the shadows.

"Graveyard effect: Devouring the Dead and Vengeful Dead".

"If a monster on the field is Tributed, you can banish 1 Zombie monster other than this card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon this card!"

"Come back!"

A black summoning circle rose up, and a huge hybrid zombie blocked its way.

Jiang Shu breathed a slight sigh of relief when four monsters suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I should be able to survive..." he murmured to himself, trying to comfort himself.

The opponent has already used their summon, but I am still at full health.
