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

I was so excited that I shouted that I would save the world through duels from now on.

The old man's expression was unusually serious: "No...you shouldn't have picked up the Duel Disk for the sake of the world."

"Saving the world... is a painful thing."

His voice sounded more weathered than ever before, as if he had truly tried to save the world.

"Then what should it be for?" I asked in a dazed voice when I was ten years old.

The old man smiled with relief: "For the people you love, and for the people who love you."

He started lecturing again, but at ten years old, I didn't understand a word he was saying.

To what extent does it have to be considered love?

In a world full of falsehoods, how can you be sure that the other person truly loves you?

I don't understand.

All I would do is reach out to the old man and say, "Give me the money, Tony's out of cat food."

At that time, to me, the people I loved and the people who loved me were not as urgent as Tony the cat food.

Until that day, the old man suddenly passed away.

The card shop suddenly became much quieter, and I realized how much weight those eight words carried.

But the person is gone, and we'll never see them again.

Even at the very end, the old man still wanted me to understand what it meant to have "the person you love, and the person who loves you." Lying in his hospital bed, his voice was extremely weak: "When... will you understand..."

My memory quickly became hazy, and I couldn't quite remember the second half of his sentence.

It's also possible that the old man simply didn't have the strength to finish the second half of his sentence.

Luo Bai let out a long breath, breaking free from his memories, and then took out his deck.

If you can't figure something out, then don't think about it anymore.

Clear your mind and make final adjustments before opening.

His strongest decks right now include Cyber ​​Dragon, Sky Striker, Fearsome, and Rescue Ace.

Additionally, you can use one more Source Card, but you have to use it before the match. You can use [Rescue ACE Team] to add one [Togahime], but the Creation Demon still needs one [Lady].

Luo Bai sat on the crumpled bed sheet, which was covered with cards. The window of the room was half open, and a gentle breeze blew the white snowflakes, bringing with it the distant chirping of birds. The soft moonlight illuminated his focused face.

"Damn, it's really hard to play without a hand trap."

A vulgar remark startled the crows perched by the window.

His god-like aura has been completely ruined; it's all Yu-Gi-Oh!'s fault.

"Ah, right, right..."

"No, no...right?"

Luo Bai frowned slightly, fiddling with the cards, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, as if he were having a heated debate with an unseen opponent.

There are also second-tier hand-drawn cards like [Ghost Rabbit] and [Yashiki-ya], and I'm torn about whether to play them.

He shuffled his decks into two sets: Sky Striker and Fearsome. Then he placed the Fearsome deck on the opponent's side, used Sky Striker, and drew five cards from each side to test his starting hand.

"Ah—" Upon seeing the opening move, Luo Bai immediately collapsed.

There was no flashbang and not even anyone around, it was so laggy it crashed.

The hand-shuffling method is not subject to spiritual theory; it is purely related to luck and shuffling habits.

After being placed in the Duel Disk and automatically shuffled, high-spirituality cards will have a slightly higher chance of being drawn due to their own consciousness.

The hand-washing test is not very meaningful, but there is no dueling table to simulate a duel in the rest room.

Several other people, including Debel and Binaire, also encountered this predicament.

They also wanted to practice adjusting their decks before matchmaking, but the room didn't have a duel table, and if they manually simulated the game, their starting hand would be very different from the actual game.

Finally, they all spread their arms and lay down, saying, "That's it, it's come to this."

"Go to sleep."

The ultimate truth is sleep.

Yi Lan had already seen through it all.

Nothing happened that night, and the nine hours passed quickly.

Luo Bai woke up half an hour early. He ate fruit while looking out the window.

It was still dark outside, with moonlight shining through the night. The leaves rustled in the wind.

Enjoying a moment of peace.

[Ring ring—]

[Please proceed to the Duel Room]

A loud announcement rang out, and the mechanisms in all sixteen rooms were activated, opening one hidden door after another.

Everyone's pupils contracted, their fists clenched, and their hearts leaped into their throats.

Besides Yilan, she was still eating.

Wow, free fruit and snacks! Isn't this just a way for the organizers to go bankrupt?

[Meal time has ended]

All players, please proceed to the Duel Room immediately.

[Meal time has ended...]

【please...】

Chapter 651 Top 8 (1)

Elan sat at the dining table, with her favorite fried chicken leg and vanilla ice cream in front of her.

A silver-white home robot silently slid into the room, its voice calm and mechanical: "[The match is about to begin. Please proceed to the duel room immediately.]"

Yilan pouted slightly, glared at the robot with dissatisfaction, took a big bite of the chicken leg, and shouted indistinctly, "Go! Fine! Go!"

As he walked into the room, he muttered to himself, "They're lying. They said it was all-you-can-eat."

Her figure gradually disappeared into the dark room.

On the other side, Luo Bai had already arrived at the duel room, as if entering a fortress of futuristic technology.

The duel room's walls were made of smooth metal, the ceiling shimmered with white fluorescence, and the surrounding area was filled with various sophisticated instruments and displays that constantly scrolled data and code.

"Where is our opponent...?"

Luo Bai moved around cautiously, his eyes scanning the room, observing every detail.

Suddenly, the entire duel room began to tremble, the mechanical walls emitted a low rumble, and the mechanisms on the walls seemed to come alive, spinning rapidly and making a clattering metallic sound.

The surrounding scenery changes rapidly, sometimes it's a lava hell, sometimes an ice and snow world, sometimes it's high in the sky, and sometimes it turns into an electronic laboratory.

The people in front of me were changing rapidly, with the figures of Binair, Dibel, Nanyang Yuzi, and others flashing by one after another.

"This match is really..."

Luo Bai's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained calm. He knew that the system was matching opponents.

I thought it would be a random draw, but I never expected the snow mountain to be a huge contraption that started spinning to match people.

With a final mechanical roar, the surrounding mechanisms slowly came to a stop turning.

A gaunt figure appeared before Luo Bai, causing his heart to sink.

When Xia Sheng saw his opponent, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The sixteen-to-eight matching is complete.

Xia Sheng VS Luo Bai.

Edo Tensei VS Nanyang Yuzi.

Melonica vs. Kobubu.

Binaire vs. the Elder of the Church.

Ilan vs. Caesar Atlas.

Diber vs. Shinonome.

Nanyang Ling VS Qingxiao.

Gan Yan VS Albus.

There is a two-minute salute period before the duel begins.

“Teacher…” Xia Sheng looked at Luo Bai and uttered softly.

Luo Bai frowned, took a few steps, and slowly spoke: "Teacher? You're not Xia Sheng, are you?"

“He doesn’t have that kind of presence.”

Xia Sheng smiled bitterly: "I'm not Xia Sheng, but I'm still your student."

"Use the [Electronic Dragon], teacher."

He unfolded his duel disk, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's have a long-awaited duel."

Gilsu is a student of researcher Bai, majoring in mechanical puppets.

The teacher created a mechanical puppet.

The students created Galatea.

“In that case,” Luo Bai smiled and took out the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck.

The two looked at each other in silence, their fighting spirit high.

Due south, the Sky Duel Room.

Nanyang Yuzi clapped her hands and then spread them out, raising an eyebrow: "Hey, what a coincidence."
