"In a normal duel, whether it's me or Juudai, compared to those hunters before us, we should only lose one or two out of ten duels at most... It's just that the rules of this hunting activity are so perverted and inhumane that we can't handle it!"
Hearing John's energetic voice on the other end of the line, at least full of confidence in dueling, You Ling smiled as if he had mastered the plan. "Well said, John... Then under these perverted and inhumane rules, of course we must follow them. If you ask me, we should hide ourselves, put on masks, and become these so-called hunters! Instead of standing in public like you and Judai, being hunted by others!"
Although John's behavior and lifestyle are a bit careless in his daily life, he is definitely not a fool at heart - so at this moment, he has roughly understood You Ling's words... It seems that he has a little understanding of what You Ling, the BYD, wants to take him and Judai to do!
So, the next sentence that came out from John's side was instantly filled with a hint of sudden enlightenment: "So, Youling, what you mean is that even if we lose points in the duel on the first day, it doesn't matter, as long as Judai and I go hunting next..."
"That's right, just as you think!" The increasingly excited You Ling interrupted John and relayed the correct answer to his companions. "As far as I'm concerned, the essence of hunting is for everyone to be the hunter... As long as you keep hunting others, it doesn't matter how others hunt you back—after all, just make it through ten cooldowns and lose as little as possible in these ten duels!"
"I don't know if you've seen this, John? The rules for this hunt are clearly stated on the academy forum... Although the hunted have a ten-game cooldown, the hunter can do whatever they want. As long as they want, they can challenge anyone non-stop!"
When You Ling said this, he couldn't help but stop and take a breath, while imagining Crab Brother who was hiding behind the event and came up with this series of duel event rules... and the perverted smile he showed when he was conceiving the rules.
After that image flashed through his mind, You Ling couldn't help but shake his head and continued, "The person in charge of this event who came up with this perverted rule...his only expectation is for us to engage in non-stop duel hunting, frantically looking for people to duel with!"
After listening to You Ling's words and instructions, there was a brief silence for a few seconds. Then, John, who was standing opposite, let out a sound as if he had suddenly realized something, and his whole body was on fire: "Oh oh... Oh oh oh!!"
"I see... I've kind of figured it out, You Ling!" You Ling could clearly hear John's voice on the other end of the line becoming increasingly heated. "So, my earlier failure with Tendai wasn't the key at all... It's better to say that this gave me a lower score. From the perspective of a fresh start, I'll have to be more articulate when I come to the Wife Ball and try to pick up Wusi VI and VII!"
"Not bad, John, you get it right away..." Hearing the excited voice on the other end of the line, who seemed to have grasped the new version just as he had, You Ling grinned and continued to beguile him, "So just imagine—this time it's you who's in the opposite position, just like those hunters who hunted you before, hunting others down... From being the hunted prey to being the hunter hunting others, isn't that a little exciting?"
After hearing these words, You Ling clearly felt John's voice on the other end of the line pause again, and then even his breathing became a little heavier. Clearly, You Ling's words about "transforming from the hunted to the hunter" were full of temptation for him... It was precisely because he had previously experienced the pain of being hunted as the hunted that John now increasingly realized how exhilarating it would be to be a bloodthirsty hunter chasing others!
"That makes sense, that makes sense, You Ling... hehe, hehe..." After a few seconds of silence, You Ling could clearly hear John's weird laughter from the other end of the phone, as he couldn't control his emotions. It was just like an evil ghost who couldn't suppress his desires anymore and wanted to drag everyone down with him after his death. It was a bit chilling.
Listening to John's laughter on the other end of the phone, which still sounded cheerful and bright, but in fact had completely changed its core concept, even You Ling, his teammate, couldn't help but shrink his neck and felt a slight chill on his back... But what made You Ling even more frightened was Crab Brother, who was hiding behind this event and came up with these rules. Obviously, John's current appearance, like a demon hunter, was exactly what Crab Brother, the person in charge of the event, wanted. It was the appearance that the duelists in this event should have.
However, even if You Ling felt that the rules were not right, since he already understood the nature of the version, he would not give up. So, he immediately asked John, "Now that we understand the version, the next thing we need to do is to find these high-quality hunting targets..."
At this point, a major question arose for You Ling, who knew nothing about the Duel Academy and was considered completely autistic: "—So, how can we most efficiently determine who we need to hunt?"
——Regarding this matter, You Ling had already started thinking about it while looking at the series of messages sent by Judai and thinking about how to remind John... But the problem is, on this first day when no one fully understands the version, there shouldn't be many idiots like John Judai who directly expose their identities and have "Come and fuck me" written on their faces in the academy.
At the reminder of the waiter in the coffee shop in front, You Ling went to check it out. Although the hunting season activities in previous years were not as perverted and bloodthirsty as what Brother Crab organized this year... most of the time, this kind of competition and pursuit conforms to the rules of the word "hunting" and accounts for the majority - in this case, most people should maintain the same anonymous and cowardly style of play as You Ling at the beginning of this activity.
——If you think about it this way, the answer to the question will naturally emerge... It's very simple. If you feel that you can't find those high-level duelists who have won many games as targets at the beginning of this hunting activity, then you can start with those already quite famous academy star duelists.
You Ling also speculated that if his guess was correct, then his acquaintances - his friends in the rebellious movement, and the seven Barian emperors who were close to You Ling, as celebrities in the academy, had already received the duelist's extremely warm "reception"... After all, these were celebrities in the academy themselves, and were recognized as strong duelists. They would reach a high score on the first day, and the probability of them becoming hunting targets was definitely not low.
It was obvious that since You Ling had thought of this, John would sooner or later think of a place with You Ling... In the next second, John's positive voice rang out on the phone: "It's okay, it's okay, this is easy to say... You Ling, if you don't know, I know this matter best!"
Then, John on the other end of the phone obviously thought the same thing as You Ling and followed You Ling's train of thought: "So, we can start with the celebrities who are already in the academy... those duelists who are quite famous in various academies-"
So, after hearing John's words that were so consistent with his own thoughts, You Ling nodded repeatedly... But as he listened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong - because at the same time, You Ling clearly heard the rustling sound of flipping pages from the other end of John's phone.
It was as if this guy was mumbling to himself while flipping through some guidebook... After realizing something was amiss, You Ling turned to John on the other end of the line and asked, "Um, what's going on, John... Why are you flipping through a book?"
"Oh, you mean this—" John on the other end of the phone was a bit nonchalant, clearly focused on the book in his hands. "I'm flipping through a very famous book in our Duel Academy, 'Academy Must-Eat List: Duelists'! Some bored fellow who appeared out of nowhere gathered intelligence from the academy and categorized and labeled famous duelists by academy... All those famous duelists in the academy I was just talking about are actually all written down in this book! That's why I said finding people isn't a problem at all, it's very easy!"
You Ling: “…”
"How the hell does this thing exist..." Obviously, the outrageous solution to the problem and John's bizarre train of thought were beyond You Ling's expectations - he was so frightened that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"No! John, why are you still carrying this thing with you?"
Volume 1: Chapter 260 There are still experts! ?
"What the hell is this school's must-eat list?"
After hearing about the new surprise that classmate John had prepared for him, You Ling's first reaction was to widen his eyes. Although he had witnessed the abstractions of the duelists in this world many times during his time in the academy, and had also witnessed the surprises brought to him by the two abstract people in the abstract, John Judai... But this term, which was similar to the one he used to describe Qi Woshan Lingsi Jiuqi Sansirong or something gay ranking list in his previous life, still made him shudder with fear, and even the tone of his voice on the phone could not help but rise a few notches.
"Huh? You don't know this?" But in response to You Ling's surprised reaction, John, a native of the Duel Academy in this world, said in a tone that sounded like "Nobita is really uninformed"... It was as if he was lamenting You Ling's ignorance.
"Haha, if you ask me, You Ling, you're good at everything. You're also quite good at playing cards... but you just don't pay enough attention to the outside world!" Then, as John's voice gradually became louder, the rustling of pages of a book could be heard from time to time... It was obvious that this guy was flipping through the academy's must-eat list while explaining it to You Ling. "If you haven't even read this book, then you've really come to Duel Academy for nothing! I really don't know what you've been doing in the academy these past few years, You Ling."
——No, I’m here to study and play cards…I’ve never seen this must-eat list, is it some heinous crime?
Of course, after hearing John's words, and feeling a little speechless at his mocking tone, You Ling actually knew in his heart that as a time traveler, he did have a certain lack of intelligence... For example, the fact that he didn't know most of the famous duelists in the academy today was actually one of You Ling's weaknesses.
After all, having traveled to this world and stayed in the Duel Academy for so long, You Ling has become quite clear that duels in this world are not just as simple as people standing on the field playing cards... The intelligence work before the duel, the understanding of the opponent, the state of the day, and the duelist's own momentum and mental strength are all very important parts of the duel in this world. If there are one or two shortcomings in the duel, and if one is one or two points weaker than the opponent, then he certainly cannot call himself the "strongest" duelist.
Listening to John's explanation of the academy's must-eat list on the other end of the phone, You Ling had a strange look on his face, but couldn't help but reveal a slightly thoughtful expression... Although the name of this thing is ridiculous, judging from the fact that John attaches so much importance to it and even carries it with him, maybe this thing is really something that is well-known in the World Duel Academy and is a good thing that every student in the academy should have.
And in fact, just as You Ling had guessed... this list, compiled by a busybody and sounding like a joke, actually did overlap significantly with the list compiled by Crab Brother, who had been hiding in the manor collecting intelligence on Seven-Year-Old Ba〥/Qia Si Lu Bar⑺VII?Zero〖. Dreams, and then painstakingly compiled it into a list of gods and men.
Obviously, this thing called spirit, that is, spiritual power, can affect reality and the world of duels to a certain extent. The more extreme the duelist is in terms of spirit, the higher his duel level and attainments will be than normal people... and it is normal that the God List, which records all kinds of gods, overlaps with the Academy's Must-Eat List, which represents high-level gods. It is more normal to say that when Brother Crab compiled his God List, it is hard to say that he did not refer to this Must-Eat List, whose author is unknown, and used it as a blueprint and prototype.
——Just as You Ling was frowning, thinking while listening to John’s introduction of the must-eat list on the other end of the phone...some key words that came out of John’s mouth suddenly interrupted his thoughts and attracted his attention.
While speaking, John had probably just turned to a page introducing duelists in the must-eat list book in his hand, and was reciting the characteristics of the duelist on the list to You Ling as if he was introducing the characteristics of a monster.
"Let me tell you, You Ling, this book is incredibly well-written. It clearly memorizes the characteristics of every Duelist. While those on the list might be troubled or upset by it... most people should be proud to be on the list in this huge Duel Academy, right?" You Ling only heard John's voice rising as he spoke. "Look here—this Duelist, dressed in the classic red Fusion Academy uniform, also sporting the school's most classic white round Dueling Disk... Also, this Duelist has a hairstyle that's not considered overly exaggerated even for the Duel Academy: a fairly normal light blue hair with a yellow ribbon for a ponytail. It's worth mentioning that, while this Duelist looks like an ordinary woman, her athletic ability and dueling prowess are nothing to be underestimated. Even in a Duel Academy where everyone's physically fit, she's considered incredibly vigorous, on par with most boys. Overall, her Duelist rating is A-..."
After hearing the characteristics of the duelist described by John, You Ling, who was originally in deep thought, blinked and raised his head slightly - it's not that these characteristics awakened some dusty memories in his mind... but in fact, he seemed to have seen several characteristics of the duelist just described by John not long ago.
So, when You Ling raised his head and looked at the Duel Academy Commercial Street around him, the scene that had just appeared here flashed before him as if it were repeated... Because the several characteristics described by John seemed to be exactly the characteristics of the unlucky duelist who was chased by dozens of people when he was sitting in the coffee shop this morning!
Even though there were many people fleeing and pursuing him, and both the fleeing and pursuing duelists were running at a very fast speed... You Ling, with his keen dynamic vision as a duelist, could still see that duelist, wearing the red Dueling Academy uniform, was running at a very fast speed, and even with dozens of people chasing him relentlessly, they couldn't catch him. Doesn't this perfectly embody John's description of "athletic ability that cannot be underestimated, like a dragon and a tiger's strength"!?
At this point, You Ling slowly spoke and asked John on the other end of the phone, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute... What's the name of this duelist you just mentioned?"
Hearing this, John on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, likely a little confused by You Ling's question. "Huh? What's wrong? You didn't ask any of the other duelists just now, but you're asking this... You Ling, are you interested in her?"
John was answered by You Ling, who sounded thoughtful. "Not really. It's just that earlier this morning, I seemed to have seen a duelist who matched the conditions you just described passing by me... and she seemed to be being chased by several people at high speed, just like you."
"Besides Judai and me, there's another unlucky guy like this!?" Perhaps having heard You Ling's description and feeling a certain empathy for this similarly hunted classmate, John's voice actually became a little excited... Then came the rustling sound of John flipping through pages. "Let me see, this duelist on the A+ academy's must-win list is... Serena, known as the Devil Muscle Duel Girl, from Fusion Academy!"
Hearing this, You Ling couldn't help but be stunned... Obviously it was because this was another name of a key character who had appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime that he had watched in his previous life - Oh my god, another acquaintance!
——But this time, although John also said that this duelist also came from the Fusion Academy and was most likely using a fusion deck, he was not from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime part 2 GX where John and Judai were together... but from the [Fusion Dimension] duelist in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime part 5 arcv, just like Yuto in the rebellious movement!
At this moment, just when You Ling wanted to ask John on the other end of the phone a few more questions about the duelist on the academy's must-eat list... John and You Ling on the other end of the phone discovered at the same time that the phones they were talking on vibrated again at the same time - and this familiar vibration, which had sounded not long ago, meant that someone in the small group chat they were all in had sent a new message.
This time, You Ling took a closer look and discovered that the source of the news was indeed Judai, the classmate who had been temporarily silent due to the poor network connection... Perhaps it was because the ten duels were finally over that he was able to escape the fate of being hunted down and returned to a place with normal network connection, where he could speak normally in the group chat.
Seeing that the other friend had already returned, You Ling hung up the phone after discussing with John. He pulled up the unlucky guy Shidai who had just returned to the online world and adjusted it to a group voice chat that three people could join at the same time... However, judging from the somewhat gloating tone in John's voice before he hung up the phone, You Ling wanted to switch to group voice, probably because he had something to say to Shidai. And the reason why John did this was probably mostly because of pure gloating, wanting to see what kind of inhuman duel torture Shidai, an unlucky guy like himself, had just suffered.
As soon as the group chat was connected, what rang in You Ling and John's ears was naturally the slightly tired and even dejected voice of Judai... Judging from the completely different voice of Judai, who was usually energetic and full of vitality, You Ling could almost imagine what kind of inhuman torture he had endured in such a long time, and how he had been fought with swords again and again by those terrifying hunting duelists.
"I'm sorry, Youling John, I was finally caught and lost several rounds..." At this time, Judai's weak voice was not only because of the failure of the duel, but also because he was too hungry. He seemed very depressed. "Damn it, but if you ask me, it must be because I was too hungry just now and my concentration was not enough that I lost... If it were any other time, or if there was some fried shrimp tempura from our Fusion Academy cafeteria next to me, I can definitely beat twenty of them by myself. No matter how many hunters there are, they are no match for me!"
"I think Youling, you and John must have thought I had it taken... Alas, I couldn't do it. This wave is mine."
However, Judai, who was currently digesting the fact of his failure with his voice full of regret and self-reflection, was obviously unaware... at this moment when the internet had just exploded and the village had no internet access, his two good teammates had already assumed that he would fail under the siege of those hunters - in fact, Judai's performance and his record in the last ten duels were still a little better than You Ling had imagined.
So, after hearing Judai's words, You Ling first blinked in embarrassment - no, we didn't seem to think that you could withstand it at all... Even from the beginning, I also treated you as a loser.
"Haha, I knew you, Judai, couldn't hold on either... You're bankrupt just like me!" Without waiting for You Ling to say anything, John, upon hearing that Judai was as unlucky as him, happily opened his mouth and laughed twice. Then, he suddenly changed the subject - speaking in the tone of a senior who had heard about the Chicken Claw Style from You Ling in advance, he pretended to be profound and said to Judai on the other end of the phone: "But it doesn't matter. Although neither you nor I are reliable... we have the Great Commander You Ling here!"
Then, just as You Ling was listening to John's speech with a smile on his face, and was about to cooperate with John to repeat the chicken claw style he had just mentioned to Judai - but after hearing John's words, Judai on the other end of the phone took the lead, and for some reason he misinterpreted John's words into something else, and his tone and voice were a little panicked... No, or it should be said that he was a little gloating.
"What? John, you mean... that You Ling was also accidentally exposed like the two of us and was caught and beaten up?"
"Haha, that's great... Then the three of us will all be Crouching Dragon, Phoenix Chick, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, and no one will be able to laugh at anyone else!"
Youling, John: "..."
Volume 1: Chapter 261: Wearing the Mask of the Heart ()
——After Judai’s expectant and surprised words, which clearly showed that he hoped his teammates would fail like him, what responded to him was... John and You Ling’s speechless curses.
"...Fucking Judai, what's with all that imagination?" John's voice was the first to respond, almost chuckling at Judai's utter indignation. "And, from what you're saying... Damn, you're definitely gloating. Are you hoping everyone on our team will go bankrupt so we can all share the blame and no one can blame anyone else?"
As for Judai's response, one could almost imagine it: he scratched his head with a wry smile on his face. "Ahaha, not really... As a teammate, if you and You Ling are doing well, then I'm definitely happy for you... But I also saw what you said in the group chat earlier. Anyway, you must be bankrupt, right, John?"
"...Shit...it's true." After hearing what Judai said, John in the group chat was silent for two seconds, but he could only reply like this - because no matter what, the fact is that John's side really went bankrupt, and he became a low-class horse in Youling's chicken claw flow... No matter how clearly Youling explained it to him before, no matter how advanced his current understanding was compared to Judai, it was only ahead among low-class horses.
——Then, putting aside John, the inferior horse, in their large team, there was also You Ling, the superior horse, who responded: "No, Judai, John only revealed that we were also eaten by those perverted hunters... But I'm still okay now. As soon as I found out about this, I quickly hid myself, so I didn't end up like you two."
"Oh oh..." After hearing You Ling's voice that was as reliable as ever, Judai quickly nodded in response - but he didn't know if there was really a hint of disappointment in this guy's tone.
So, after listening to You Ling and John describe their team's current points situation, Shi Dai seemed to remember something and asked curiously in the group chat, "I have a general understanding of the specific situation now... But what about the new discovery you and John just mentioned, You Ling?"
"From what John just said... You Ling, have you found some serious loopholes in these rules again?"
So, just as You Ling cleared his throat and was about to reply to Judai, John, who was in the three-person group chat, jumped out first, seemingly wanting to show Judai how well he, a lowly horse senior, understood the meta. "Hehe... You Ling, don't say anything! Let me speak first!"
And considering the similarity of these two guys' careless personalities, and the fact that they have been mixed up for so long... You Ling thought about it for two seconds, and felt that it would be clearer if John could explain the matter to Shidai.
Afterwards, You Ling also nodded and responded, "Okay... then you come."
So, for the next few minutes, You Ling stayed silent in the group phone chat between the three of them, listening to John, using his and Judai's unique communication frequency and method, to explain the chicken claw style, or Tian Ji's horse racing style, that You Ling had just taught him... And the one who responded to him was naturally Judai's slightly shocked and unusually excited voice on the other end of the phone, who took a long time to understand.
"Holy crap, that's awesome, You Ling!" Judai's reaction to You Ling was almost identical to John's when he first heard about this tactic... His voice was filled with anticipation, the anticipation of the hunt and the excitement of being the hunter himself. "What else is there to say? Let's gather right now... I don't want to wait another fucking second. I want to experience what it's like to be a hunter!"
Obviously, judging from Judai's current performance, he is just like John who was being hunted before. He felt extremely frustrated during the duel with the ten hunters...Now, under the fighting style described by You Ling, there is a chance for the top and bottom to be reversed, which makes Judai, who feels that he is going to change from being a victim of the strong swordsman to a strong swordsman, almost pull out his thing - or, in other words, the frustration caused by being beaten by the first round of swordsmanship has now turned into motivation, and transforming these negative emotions into the duel is exactly what You Ling wants to achieve.
——In this world where emotional fluctuations and thoughts can actually affect the level of dueling, just like the power of magnetic fields needs to be driven by emotions... You Ling is confident that after going through the previous frustrating experience, John Tenth Generation and the other person can now burst out a dueling strength that is ten times or even nine times stronger than normal!
——And obviously, just like the tenth generation who couldn't wait to hear the fighting method, his entire spirit was completely transformed... John, who had already understood the fighting method and was even more impatient than the tenth generation, naturally screamed at You Ling in the voice chat, expressing his utmost excitement: "Yes, yes, Commander You Ling... Don't hesitate any longer, let's go now and fight back against those dog-like hunters, Olive Teeth!!!"
At this moment, You Ling, contentedly listening to the eager voices of his two teammates, narrowed his eyes, a mysterious smile flashing across his face as he addressed Judai and John in a steady voice, "Hey, hey, hey, don't be impatient... It's not just you two, John and Judai. Even I'm itching to fight right now. I want to put on my mask again and go hunt those lovely Duelists as a Hunter..."
Obviously, after hearing a certain term in You Ling's voice, Judai, who always reacted faster than John, was the first to notice something was wrong: "Uh, You Ling, what are you talking about... What do you mean by wearing a mask?"
"Hehe, that's exactly what it says, Judai... Don't forget, within these rules, we've already decided to duel using this chicken claw style, where the underdog defeats the stronger. And based on my understanding of our team's dueling skills, as long as we keep fighting like this, our hunting score will eventually return to its peak and become the target of public criticism."
"Could it be that you're not confident enough in your own dueling abilities or those of your teammates? Don't think you or John can ever reach high scores again... or perhaps you still want to experience being chased and raped by a group of crazy duelists once you've achieved high scores, just like before?"
"No, no, no..." And the answer to You Ling was naturally the unhesitating denial from Judai... Obviously, the terrifying experience of being surrounded by a group of people just now has become a terrible nightmare-like memory for Judai classmate - so fast that You Ling even doubted whether Judai would dream of being surrounded by dozens of duelists with special skills and being subjected to the ultimate humiliation of a flurry of sword attacks when he went to bed at night.
John, like Judai, was also the victim of this ultimate insult. He didn't want to see this happen again—in fact, he also noticed the blind spot in Youling's words and naturally asked, "But that's not right, Youling... what's the point of wearing a mask? Most Duelists in the Duel Academy don't just recognize people by appearance and name—though appearance plays a big part, but if you wear a mask, they can also rely on your deck and Ace Monsters... to confirm which Duelist you are?"
"In that case, even if you wear a mask that conceals your identity, it doesn't seem to make much sense... As long as you duel enough times, once they find out you're the Duelist using a certain Ace Monster in a certain Deck, they can basically confirm your identity and then arrest you."
It seems that in terms of caution, John is several levels higher than You Ling and even Shark Sister. For example, You Ling and Shark Sister were unable to react to the mask issue at the first time, but John reacted the moment he heard it.
After hearing John's question, You Ling recalled the solemn oath he and Shark Sister had made to wear the hood, which turned out to be useless, and his face turned red... But it was obvious that this time, he asked his teammates to wear the hood like he did before. It must be because You Ling had come up with a new way of playing after careful consideration, and further improved the hood tactics.
So, now that he had a plan in mind, and had taken his mask-playing skills to a new level, You Ling smiled proudly at John's doubts and replied calmly, "John, that's why you don't understand... But I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Who says we wear masks just to hide our identities and decks?"
"Rather, I asked all of us to wear masks not to hide our identities... but to allow those outsiders who don't know the truth to confirm our identities!"
As You Ling guided John and Judai, his voice once again becoming as alluring as it had been when he'd tricked Little Shark Sister. "You just said that relying on appearance and decks is the primary way to confirm a duelist's identity... So, we need to do the opposite. Use masks to bind our decks to our duelist identities—to trick those outside who don't know the truth into thinking that each mask represents that person!"
"I can only say that, in my opinion, the benefits of wearing a mask and hiding your identity within this rule are definitely much greater than not wearing a mask..." You Ling guided John and Judai to imagine the method he envisioned. "For example, when your score reaches a critical point one day and you don't want to be challenged and lose points, while John's score is the opposite and he wants to challenge more people - you can swap the mask bound to your hero deck with the mask bound to John's Gem Beast. In this way... those duelists outside who are unaware of the truth, after preparing to duel with you, end up challenging John. What will happen then?"
Then, while John and Judai fell silent as they listened to his ideas, apparently digesting them, You Ling spoke again, presenting another possibility he had already envisioned to John and Judai: "And besides that, with the mask, we actually have more ways to play... Don't forget, our team isn't just the three of us. We even have Little Shark, the fourth shadow member - and there may be even more new teammates in the future!"
"Based on my understanding of Little Shark Sister and her laziness, I'm afraid that in this hunting activity, she won't take the initiative to duel most of the time. In other words, she is a fourth person who is just giving up... But even so, we can make perfect use of her fourth person identity through the mask-playing style!" You Ling said while manipulating the phone strategically. He took a screenshot of the Little Shark Sister's avatar in the group chat, who had not said anything since joining the group, and sent it to the group.
"And all we need to do is prepare a mask for our teammate, Little Shark, who's only fought one or two matches, or maybe even never played at all. When necessary, we can use it as a last resort secret weapon, allowing another teammate in need to swap it with her!"
Having said that, You Ling temporarily shut his mouth, giving John and Judai some time to digest what he had just said - regarding the mask and the way of hiding the identity, in You Ling's mind, there are actually more tactics that can be implemented... However, relying on his understanding of the pig-like brains of these two teammates, You Ling still feels that it should be enough to talk about these two as examples first, and they probably won't be able to digest any more.
But no matter whether the two of them understood or not, You Ling, who was well prepared for this, had already taken out the pictures of several small headgear that he had prepared in his mind from the album of his mobile phone, and compared them with the images of John and Judai in his mind... It was obvious that he wanted to pull these two brothers into the Soul Five Group that he had been thinking about.
Volume 1: Chapter 262: Soul Five Small Group, Move Out!
And so, the second after You Ling finished speaking, just as he'd predicted—John and Judai were silent for a few seconds before Judai spoke first, saying in a tone that was both bewildered and expectant, "Haha, my head's itching. I feel like I'm going to grow brains if I keep listening... Even though I don't quite understand what you're saying, it sounds pretty impressive."
Besides Judai, John's reaction was similar. He nodded and replied, "I really don't understand... but it doesn't matter. I believe whatever you say is true. We just need to follow your instructions!"
Fortunately, their reaction was within You Ling's expectations - so You Ling laughed again and sent the photos of hoods and masks that he had prepared long ago to their group chat.
And that was the wet little hood he had used not long ago, and two other ones of the same model... the same Soul Five hood prepared for John the Tenth Generation!
Among them, the one in the front of the picture is naturally the wet little hood that You Ling used when he dueled with the third sister You Dou of the rebellious movement last time. The top of the head was crooked and looked like a rag bag, with only a pair of eyes exposed... At the same time, I don’t know if it was because the last duel was too smooth, which left some deep impression on You Ling. Now when he saw this little hood, You Ling couldn’t help but feel a kind of joy in invading someone else’s world.
——And the first headgear is what You Ling prepared for himself. In the next longer period of time, it will be a hidden identity used by duelists in hunting-related activities... This is You Ling, the first leader of the Soul Five invasion group. His ID is the Flame King deck, which has a set of flaming axes in the deck. His abilities are strong dueling strength and the ability to flexibly cancel his own operations and blow up other people's cards!
In response to this, You Ling told his two friends in the group chat: "I've already used this strange headgear in the front once in a previous duel, so I'll choose this one... As for the remaining two, you two can pick yourselves."
"Uh, why do these things look so weird? The one you're using, You Ling, is also so weird... It makes me feel a little creepy and weird just looking at it." After hearing You Ling's instructions, Tenth Generation, who already had immense trust in You Ling as the commander-in-chief, and now even more so in his dizzy state, followed You Ling's orders and after checking the two headgear, decisively chose the one he needed. "But, the one in front looks pretty cool... Haha, John, if you were a step slower, this thing would have been mine!"
As he spoke, You Ling saw the first headgear that Shidai had chosen according to the message he posted in the group chat - it was an iron hood that was somewhat similar in style to the small wet headgear that You Ling was using now, but it was completely different... To be honest, it looked a bit like an iron helmet that surrounded the head and was airtight. Apart from two small holes for seeing things for visual reasons, there were no other gaps on the entire helmet. Obviously, just like the wet headgear used by You Ling, it was perfect in concealing the face and concealing the identity.
To be honest, at first glance, this thing does seem to be somewhat similar to something like a hero mask... So it's no wonder that as a hero deck enthusiast, Judai, who also uses a masked hero deck in this world, decisively chose this iron headgear.
As for Judai's choice, You Ling certainly had no opinion... Rather, as the selector of the two headgear, You Ling had considered that when choosing the picture and identity, it must be consistent with the style of the wet little headgear he was wearing, and also be consistent with the duel style of Judai and John - Judai's final choice of this "hero mask" was actually within You Ling's expectations.
—So, with the headgear provided by Youling and Judai's choice, the second member of their small group, the Soul Five... the carefree Judai, has officially joined! His deck is a well-known Hero deck, characterized by exceptional luck. He has a deep love for duels and will always strive for victory with all his might. When facing adversity and imminent defeat in a duel, he may even unleash his hidden power. Therefore, Youling has chosen for him a Duelist ID and Soul Five nickname: "I'm tired of red tape!"
And then, You Ling heard that John, just as he'd expected, wasn't too interested in the headgear Judai had chosen. A helpless voice echoed in the group chat: "You can choose whatever you want. I'm not really interested in yours, Judai... Rather, I think the latter one is more to my liking. Yeah, that's it."
——After the tenth generation, the headgear chosen by John was of course the other one prepared by You Ling among the many small headgears of the Soul Five... And this time, it was a headgear with a completely different style from the one chosen by the tenth generation. Although it was also made of iron helmet, it looked rugged and had obvious gear wrinkles. There were even two big pointed horns on both sides of the head.
Like the headgear used by the previous tenth generation Youling, the pointed iron helmet chosen by John this time only has a horizontal slit in the eye row that allows people's vision to be revealed... It is also a small helmet of Soul Five that can perfectly conceal his identity and image!
Just now, seeing that John did not ask for too much, but chose this headgear very happily, You Ling actually breathed a sigh of relief - in fact, You Ling was not very sure about this headgear. He did not think that John would choose it without any objection like the tenth generation just now... Because with You Ling's understanding of John, his good friend, over this period of time, from his card deck, you can know that John has always liked gorgeous, gem-like things like the Jade Beast. But unfortunately, in the Soul Five headgear that You Ling carefully selected, the gloomy and dark style probably did not meet John's aesthetic conditions. Therefore, in the end, John had no objection to it, which made You Ling feel a little fortunate that his two friends were both carefree and not very picky.
So, the third member of You Ling's Soul Five team, John, with his spiky mask, joined them... Using his deck for his family-like companion, the Jewelmon! His defining characteristic is his unwavering determination to protect his family in a Duel—and his unwavering confidence in his deck, his family. You Ling chose this Duelist with the Soul Five ID: "My Family Won't Lose!!!"
