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

Luo Bai was startled and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Not far away, stood a boy of about ten years old.

"My name is Xiaoyu." The boy's voice was strong and clear, with a maturity beyond his years.

His hair was slightly disheveled, his skin was dark, and he wore an oversized old T-shirt that didn't fit him well and had several stains on it. His jeans had patches on the knees, and he had a homemade tool pouch tied around his waist.

Inside were his scavenging tools—a knife, a pair of pliers, some plastic bags, and a few ropes.

The "wilderness people" are those whose status lies between numbered people and citizens.

They don't have supercomputing rings, they don't have citizenship, but they are more free than numbered citizens, and they make a living by scavenging.

Luo Bai stared blankly, and couldn't help but recall the researcher [Bai] from his memory.

He also made a living by scavenging when he was young, and only later did he meet Philina and his teacher Tony.

Unfortunately, not all deserters will encounter their own 0325.

The boy before me was all alone, with no one by his side.

Only—

He was holding an iron pipe in his right hand.

He was holding a book in his left hand.

A very strange combination.

"What's wrong?" Luo Bai asked in a muffled voice.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and said, "Are you looking for a 1-star Light-attribute Angel-type Normal Monster?"

“That’s right,” Luo Bai replied in surprise.

“I have two kinds,” Xiaoyu said, a hint of nervousness flashing across his face. “【Heart Key Fairy】and 【Youyou】.”

"you--"

He hesitated for a while before finally speaking.

"Could you trade me a rare card?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai looked the child up and down, a hint of melancholy appearing on his face.

The news of the numbered cardholders had only been circulating for a short time.

This man named Xiaoyu came to our door and demanded a price.

“You already had these cards, and you knew we needed them,” Luo Bai said slowly.

"Deliberately keeping it hidden."

"I just want to wait until others get impatient, and then find an opportunity to exchange for rare cards."

"Now we also know that the card is in the hands of the numbered civilian."

"You can't sit still, so you're in a hurry to come and make a deal with me."

"Such a young age..." he sighed deeply, somewhat melancholy.

Learn to wait for the right price...

Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard these words.

"As expected of the master..."

He never expected that, just a few minutes after meeting, the other party would reveal his entire plan.

"Switching with you would only harm you," Luo Bai said with a wry smile.

"It will give you unrealistic fantasies."

"Extortion only applies to honest people like me."

"I want to be a bully."

"I'll just kill you and take your card."

Xiao Yu lowered his head, acknowledging these words, since many of his companions had died in such fights.

His eyes lost their luster, his lips drooped slightly, and he turned to leave.

"You can make an equivalent request," Luo Bai interrupted him.

The value of [Heart Key Fairy] and [Yoyo] is definitely not comparable to that of rare cards.

"An equivalent requirement?" Xiaoyu was taken aback.

How much value do 【Heart Key Fairy】 and 【Youyou】 have?

As a resident of the wilderness, he knew immediately that these cards were in the hands of the numbered residents.

Originally, they wanted to exploit the information gap caused by Luo Bai and his group forgetting their identification numbers to create hype, but now that it's been discovered, these cards have returned to their original value, meaning they're worthless.

It's definitely not possible to exchange it for something else.

"That--"

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Luo Bai and asked hesitantly, "You can read, right?"

"Could you read it for me this time?"

Chapter Twenty-Two...

Xiaoyu pouted and showed off the book in his hand.

Biantana's bible—"The Fairy Tale of Duels".

"Study," Luo Bai murmured.

The people in the wilderness had no right to education.

He smiled slightly, his interest piqued, and felt relieved: "Okay."

"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and a childlike cuteness appeared on his face.

He quickly put away the steel pipe, tied it behind his back, and excitedly sat down next to Luo Bai.

"Here, here..."

"The storyteller got impatient at this point..."

Xiaoyu was like a book-obsessed fanatic, skillfully turning the pages, pointing to a specific line of text, with a hint of grievance.

By the dim firelight.

Luo Bai gently stroked the book with both hands, feeling somewhat emotional.

The book cover is made of aged leather, with deep textures etched by the passage of time. An ancient badge is inlaid in it, its edges worn but finely carved, like a symbol of an old family or a mark of a dynasty.

The first half hour of challenging God.

He made no preparations for a duel, but instead sat down and read to a deserter he had never met before.

The book's table of contents is easy to understand.

Unified title: The Duel of XXX.

These are episodic stories, not a novel.

A total of 25 duels, totaling—

Luo Bai instinctively wanted to flip to the end to see how many pages there were in total.

"Only half a page at the end?"

He looked at Xiaoyu with confusion and asked what was going on.

"It seems they said it was originally only half a page," Xiaoyu said, pouting.

Luo Bai frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the last few lines of text on the last half page.

The author of "Duel Fairy Tale" left a question at the end of the book.

"What defines the strongest duelist?"

"Multiple competition champions?"

"First place in a ranking event?"

"Still undefeated?"

"What defines the strongest? Who dares to claim invincibility?"

This is a topic that has generated a lot of discussion.

It makes people very curious.

The author seemed to offer his opinion on the second half of the page, but unfortunately it was torn out.

"You short-circuit dog," Luo Bai scolded playfully.

He dislikes books that are half-finished.

Chapter 526 Stealing Half a Day of Leisure

"The strongest duelist..." Luo Bai stared at these words at the end of the book, lost in thought.

This is indeed a very interesting question.

What kind of record is needed?

Only they deserve this title.

There is no first place in literature, but there is a second place in martial arts. So, what kind of competition is a duel?

This is not self-deprecation.

After witnessing the duel between Immy, Karl, and Rashard, he dared not claim to be the strongest.

The people here have a clear strategy, and drawing the perfect card is second nature to them. It's impossible for them to get a bad hand, and there are no card bans or restrictions.

He dared not imagine how powerful these people would be if Debel had extra resources, Karl had Albus, and Reishardt had the Red Gundam.

If the narcissus itself were to play cards.
