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

"That's strange."

"No matter how many people die, people outside still rush in like madmen, and they want to take away the already scarce fresh water."

"The water source has been destroyed, and the supply of water is now vacant."

She glanced at Luo Bai with a wistful look in her eyes.

"You now—"

"Dehydration, poisoning, and severe injuries."

“It would be better to be dead.” Luo Bai picked up the conversation, then chuckled. “I heard you have an underworld here.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Yi Lan said slowly. “Someone is collecting souls of the dead. If you die here, you might not go to the underworld.”

"If I can survive."

"Let's just live on."

She spoke in a hoarse, weak voice, and Rusaka's words echoed in her mind once again.

...

"Sirens..."

"Live on, carrying everyone's hopes..."

...

"Are you alright?" Luo Bai looked at her face with concern; something seemed wrong.

Her skin was dry, her lips were pale and cracked, her breathing and heart rate were rapid, and she looked dazed.

The symptoms of dehydration are much more severe than his.

Are you particularly dehydrated?

“If…if you can get out of here alive…” Yi Lan’s voice trembled, her breathing rapid, “go find the organization’s supreme leader—Quan Ji, and give her the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] that I have on me.”

"Make her release my people...especially...my two sisters..."

Her voice was broken and intermittent, and each breath seemed difficult.

"No." Luo Bai struggled to support himself, gritted his teeth, and uttered the most resolute sentence he had ever uttered.

"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."

"I'll go get you some water."

He struggled toward the basement exit, his steps heavy yet resolute. However, when he reached the doorway and looked out through the blurry glass, a shocking scene unfolded before his eyes.

Outside the gate, corpses piled up like mountains, all of them people who had died fighting for resting places and resources.

In the center of the corpses stood a young man and a young woman.

Xia Yu shivered and grabbed the clothes of the person next to her.

Xia Sheng, his face covered in blood, had a cold expression.

"Teacher, are you inside?" Xia Sheng's voice was low and suppressed as he tried to control his emotions.

...

...

The 7th Book Lovers' Competition - [Level 5 League] is now open for registration.

It's similar to the four-tier league in the book: 5v5, BO1, a round-robin format, with the losing side switching players to attack first.

It will also have a unique BP system, just like in the book.

Both teams assign a coach (captain) to conduct the drafting and banning (BP) process, locking two fields and banning three individual cards. After that, they build their decks according to the BP restrictions and then play the game.

A classic scene might unfold.

I only know how to get the Heavenly Cup, please help me grab it.jpg

There are also professions such as [Ace Position] and [Rebirth Position].

The coach can also warm up and go on stage.

Please see below for details.

Registration location (talent market): [346852832]

Current total prize pool: 200 (royalties) + 420 (sponsorship from the boss)

(Those interested in sponsorship can join the group and message Baiye Xingchen privately.)

Chapter 498 Detoxification

"Teacher, are you inside?" Xia Sheng asked again when he didn't hear a response.

As the sound faded, the iron gate began to rotate and twist eerily, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow, stunned: "This kid..."

A powerful sense of oppression washed over me.

"Yes, I am." He slowly opened the iron gate and asked suspiciously, "Do you need something from me?"

Xia Sheng paused slightly upon seeing Luo Bai, his gaze sweeping over Luo Bai's injuries. He hesitated before saying, "We've been searching for two days, but we really can't find the Purple Forest Grass, so—"

"Xia Yu is about to collapse..."

He hesitated, suppressing his emotions.

"I need the purple sage you have..."

The voice carried a sense of helplessness, with a hint of coercion.

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai looked at Xia Yu standing to the side.

Just as Xia Sheng said, Xia Yu's condition is very serious. Her face is completely bloodless, her whole body is covered with unsightly bluish-black spots, and even her coughs smell foul.

“It’s even more serious than mine.” Luo Bai frowned, his thoughts a jumble of emotions.

According to Yi Lan, Xia Yu is likely an "actor," the opposite.

But now that the director has fallen, the situation has become very delicate.

Will the actors follow a pre-set script until they die?

Or did the director leave some secret instructions?

"You know how to make an antidote?" he asked after thinking for a moment.

He himself now needs the antidote. Xia Sheng had previously mentioned that he had other medicinal materials for the antidote and could also make medicine.

Xia Sheng nodded slightly: "Mm."

"Impressive," Luo Bai exclaimed. "To have this skill at such a young age."

"I can give you the purple sage."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng's eyes lit up with hope.

“But—” Luo Bai’s tone changed.

"To avoid affecting you, I'll keep an eye on things for you while the medicine is being made."

Low emotional intelligence: She took someone hostage.

High emotional intelligence: Keep an eye on it.

These words were spoken.

The air suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Yi Lan sensed the tension, frowned, and struggled to her feet.

"Teacher, you should know that Xia Yu is very important to me." Xia Sheng lowered his voice, with a hint of warning.

"She cannot be hurt in the slightest."

“I know,” Luo Bai said in a deep voice.

"This purple forest grass is a lifesaver. I just hope you can concentrate a little."

"After all, your sister is quite noisy, and I'm afraid she'll bother you."

"I'm making a scene?" Xia Yu pointed at herself, looking completely bewildered. "I can barely speak right now..."

She has to catch her breath for a long time to speak a single sentence now.

Even if they wanted to make a scene, they couldn't.

Xia Sheng glanced between Luo Bai and Xia Yu, then at Yi Lan not far away, his face showing a conflicted expression.

"Ok."

He gave a resigned reply and looked at Xia Yu, offering his instructions.

"Stay with the teacher for a while."

"Sweetie, stop fooling around."

The voice giving instructions was full of doting affection.

"Mm." Xia Yu nodded gently and walked to Luo Bai's side.

Seeing this, Yi Lan took a step to walk over.

Luo Bai quickly raised his hand to interrupt her: "You should rest for a while. This is between him and me."

He then took half a purple stalk of grass from the supercomputing ring and handed it over.
