Aspiring to become a magnetic field card player!

[This mission is a novice mission. Due to the novice protection, the difficulty will be reduced appropriately. The novice protection will be lifted after the player completes the novice mission and obtains the first set of card decks.]

[After completing this mission, the deck will be unlocked to a certain degree based on the outcome of the battle, Marufuji Ryo's favorability, and other factors. The higher the bond and favorability values, the higher the deck's unlocking level will be.]

[At the same time, the "Trial Deck: Marufuji Ryo" that can be used during this mission will also follow these rules and be adjusted in real time based on the character's stats.]

Looking at the instructions on the system screen in front of him, he then turned his head and glanced at Marufuji Ryo who was a little confused and didn't understand why he came to the duel arena. You Ling's eyes gradually became sharper.

——Meet and then start a duel. Defeat Marufuji Ryo through the duel to obtain Marufuji Ryo, the "five-star at the start of the server" and his card deck. In this way, he can easily get through the early novice period.

——It is very consistent with the statement of [Newbie Protection] in the system description.

——And this trial deck is obviously intended for him to defeat Marufuji Ryo... As the saying goes, in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, playing cards is the first element. If you win, everything will be easy.

...However, if you really just do this and rely solely on dry duels to defeat your opponents and establish your image, then the final values of Marufuji Ryo's bond level and favorability will definitely not be very high.

In Marufuji Ryo's mind, You Ling will only be a weirdo who "suddenly pops up and says he wants to help, and then beats himself up." No matter what, his future image will not be very positive.

But this is like when you first play a game and enter the novice level, even if the score after passing it is not high, it is definitely enough.

After all, with the meager resources you have as a novice, you certainly can’t do anything big… After the battle, I’ll give you a Cyber Dragon, but it’s just a lower level, which is good enough.

I have no father——but!

As a hardcore card player who has participated in this game since its launch, and has extensive experience in gaming, real-life card playing, and even anime watching...how could You Ling be so easily satisfied?

Yu-Gi-Oh, the game is all about making money. We won’t use cards that don’t make money, and we won’t do things that don’t make money - we just beat up Marufuji Ryo, get a set of electronic dragons from him, and leave... Is there anyone who can do such a non-profitable thing?

——You are insulting me, an old man!

——Even if it is the first level at the beginning as a novice, You Ling must pass it perfectly!

So, You Ling turned around. In this huge duel arena, he did not take out the duel disk first, but shook his right hand, and the "Novice Level Reality Experience Deck" given by the system immediately appeared in his hand.

If you do that according to the system instructions, it will be like clearing the game with only 2 stars, and getting a dry victory... That is what is called "defeating Marufuji Ryo's body in the duel, but not conquering his mind."

As a veteran with rich experience in anime and games, You Ling knows very well that in Yu-Gi-Oh, in addition to winning duels, there is another equally important key that cannot be ignored!

......Its name is - mouth cannon!

"Electronic legend, second-class duelist Marufuji Ryo... take a good look at this! What is this!?"

Upon hearing this, the bewildered Marufuji Ryo took a closer look, then was horrified: "This... this card is! Cyber End Dragon!"

——That’s right, the card at the top of the electronic flow trial deck given by the system is the signature card of the electronic flow, the Electronic End Dragon.

——You Ling discovered through investigations over the past two days that in this world, duelists place great emphasis on inheritance and mentorship...and as the signature card of the Electronic Flow, the Electronic Termination Dragon, only the most elite and recognized Electronic Flow duelists are qualified to use it!

"Only duelists who are recognized by the Electronic Flow and have received the complete inheritance can obtain the Electronic End Dragon." After confirming the authenticity of this End Dragon with his many years of experience with Electronic Dragons, Marufuji Ryo looked at You Ling again, "You, could it be that—"

"That's the one!"

You Ling's expression was resolute, his gaze as swift as lightning. He continued to talk nonsense, following Marufuji Ryo's lead. "That's right, the me before you is actually... the inheritor of our generation's Shadow Electronic Style!"

"Shadow Electronic Flow!?" Marufuji Ryo continued to be shocked upon hearing such a high-sounding term.

"That's right. Our Shadow Electronic School is a school that was separated from the more public Electronic School many years ago due to differences in philosophy. However, our Shadow School has fewer members, hides in the dark, and is more sophisticated... Such secrets are only recorded in the most ancient archives of the Electronic School!"

"Compared to your open Electron Stream, our Shadow Electron Stream has all the same inheritances, even the Dark Electron has a share... That's why I know what the [Dark Electron] is!"

"Shadow Electron Flow..." Marufuji Ryo muttered to himself again, his expression as if he had figured something out. "That's right, so you know that our dojo has the secret of [Dark Electron] and also possesses precious cards like Electro End Dragon..."

"That's right! As the latest generation of Shadow Electronics inheritors, I should continue to follow the tradition and carry out our Shadow Electronics mission, staying away from the world... But!"

"But when I saw that you, the heir of the upright Electronic Stream, had fallen into such a mess..." You Ling shook his head, "I felt extremely heartbroken!"

"We, the inheritors of the Electronic Stream, must be indomitable and forge ahead like an electronic dragon! No matter what hardships we encounter, we must never forget to struggle and only then will we achieve victory!"

"Giving up so easily like you did, and even wanting to go to the Dark Duel... Do you deserve to be called a Electronics Inheritor? You bastard!"

Hearing this blunt insult, Marufuji Ryo couldn't help but clench his fists and subconsciously wanted to refute - but when he really opened his mouth, he could only utter a few syllables and was unable to refute at all.

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you, I can't hear you at all!" Looking at the expression of Comrade Marufuji Ryo, You Ling tried very hard to force a look of regret.

"So quiet! You want to use a Cyber Dragon too!?"

"In fact, our Shadow Electronics tradition says that although we have parted ways and each embarked on different paths, we are still one family. If the righteous path encounters any trouble, we, the descendants of the Shadow Electronics, must lend a hand!"

"Marufuji Ryo - Shadow Electronic Style, I am you, the best big brother!"

"——I appear now to teach you!"

As he spoke, You Ling stood straight, looking down at Marufuji Ryo with an extremely serious expression: "On behalf of our Shadow Electronic Flow, I want to teach you the true lost secrets of the Electronic Flow! So that you can get out of this predicament!"

After hearing these words, Marufuji Ryo was stunned when he saw You Ling's face, which was tense and flushed red as if due to anger.

Hearing these words, he couldn't help but feel a pang of excitement in his heart.

As a young man who had just fallen from the peak of his life to the bottom, the news of [Shadow Electronic Flow] in front of him was like a ray of sunshine... He was originally just a student who had graduated not long ago. Now, when he was at the lowest point in his life and almost in despair, he was exposed to this kind of savior news that was like his "family". It was great that he didn't cry and shout "Coach, I want to learn Electronic Dragon".

As the saying goes, people always believe what they want to believe. During this period, Marufuji Ryo had been praying constantly, hoping that something or someone would come to save him from this horrible hell.

Now, the savior named [Shadow Electronic Flow] actually appeared. No matter how calm and wise Marufuji Ryo was in the past, at this time, when he is almost collapsed, can he still say words of doubt?

"......Yes!" At this time, under the multiple mental blows and the irrefutable evidence of the End Dragon and Dark Electronics, Marufuji Ryo no longer had any doubts. He lowered his head and bowed solemnly to You Ling.

On You Ling's side, he also glanced slightly to the side at this time, looking at the system light screen that only he could see - from that column, Marufuji Ryo's favorability and bond were maintaining a clear upward trend, judging from his serious and nonsense mouth cannon, it was still quite effective.

Obviously, everything is just as You Ling judged. If it is just a simple duel, he can only conquer the duelist's body. According to the tradition of Yu-Gi-Oh's worldview, only with equally powerful verbal attacks can he successfully capture the duelist's heart... Judging from this result, it was not in vain that he had been pondering this "Shadow Electronic Flow" setting since he crossed over.

Fortunately, this thing is still useful... After all, thinking about the setting is one thing, and actually reciting it is another. After reciting the lines just now, regardless of what happened to Marufuji Ryo, You Ling himself felt so embarrassed that his scalp was numb. If he recited for a while longer, he would probably have dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.

But there's no way. According to the investigations that You Ling conducted in the past few days after traveling through time, the descendants of the dojo like Marufuji Ryo and the Japanese people seem to buy into this kind of thing, such as [Shadow Electronic Flow], [Inheritance of the Master's Way], and [Help from the Seniors]... The child was so moved that he almost had snot bubbles.

——And this, a spiritual blow blasted from the inner level in the form of verbal attack, is something that is not explained in the system explanation. It is like the existence of a [hidden condition for passing the level]... Now You Ling has obviously fully grasped this [hidden condition]!

As the saying goes, I will naturally conquer the duelist's body through dueling... and his mind through verbal attacks!

——Even if it’s a novice level, I, a veteran card player, want to... give it full stars!

As he spoke, You Ling raised his head, took a deep breath, and stared at Marufuji Ryo.

"Very good, then! Second-class Duelist Marufuji Ryo—step out!"

Upon hearing this, the energetic young man Marufuji Ryo also stood at attention immediately.

"--arrive!"

Volume 1: Chapter 4: The Master of the Cyber Dragon Field!

"Second-class duelist, Marufuji Ryo——Debut!"

Hearing this magical voice, Marufuji Ryo shuddered all over, stood up immediately, and responded subconsciously.

"To!"

But at the same time, he also raised his eyes and secretly observed the wandering spirit in front of him.

——In fact, just like the favorability and bond values displayed on the system light screen in front of You Ling, the young and confused duelist Marufuji Ryo has already had some faith in the shadow big brother who claims to be here to save him.

After all, although we can call Marufuji Ryo a young man, he is still just a young seedling who is not too old and has just graduated from college and entered the society not long ago.

Being still young, he has not experienced too much of the whipping of society and can be said to be very simple and honest... If these characteristics were placed in You Ling's previous world, he would generally be called a big man with clear eyes but stupidity.

Therefore, while observing You Ling, Marufuji Ryo's stern face couldn't help but become a little nervous.

How nervous was I exactly... Actually, it mainly manifested in not understanding what this mysterious shadow big brother in front of me was going to do.

——As a card player who grew up in the Duel King world, or one could say, grew up with Cyber Dragons, Marufuji Ryo still has the simple idea in his heart that "there are no bad people who like Cyber Dragons."

Marufuji Ryo, who has been practicing in the Electronic Flow Dojo since childhood and has gone through untold hardships to gain recognition from his master and obtain the Electronic Terminator Dragon, knows only too well how difficult it is for a descendant of the Electronic Flow to gain recognition for a card like the Electronic Terminator Dragon.

In interpersonal interactions, early impressions are extremely important. It can be said that just by virtue of being the "owner of the Electronic Terminator Dragon", You Ling has already firmly grasped Marufuji Ryo's early goodwill... No matter what, in Marufuji Ryo's heart, he will be influenced by the idea that "anyone who can be recognized by the Electronic Terminator Dragon must not be a bad person."

This subconscious emotion will naturally make him feel more intimate with You Ling.

All these complex factors combined together are materialized into the favorability and bond values that You Ling sees on the system light screen... After all the talk and story, the values are already quite high.

——In fact, the world of the card game where You Ling is located is completely different from modern society because it has to stitch together the plots of many Yu-Gi-Oh anime.

In addition, in addition to the characters from several Yu-Gi-Oh anime series, many popular card storylines must be integrated into the game. This means that the world of Card God must feature a fantasy worldview with diverse styles and strong inclusiveness.

As a child who grew up in this fantasy world and is accustomed to supernatural factors, Marufuji Ryo is relatively superstitious compared to people like Youling who come from a materialistic world... The most important factor is that he has considerable confidence in his own "intuition".

It can be seen from his previous duel style and other things or details... Trusting one's own deck and resonating with the card elves in one's deck can be said to be a common understanding among card players in this world.

Obviously, as the target of the pursuit, Marufuji Ryo doesn't have much to think about, but You Ling, as the one who takes the initiative to write the story, has a lot to consider.

——While Marufuji Ryo was brainstorming and silently observing You Ling, You Ling was also looking at Marufuji Ryo across from him.

Judging only by the micro-expressions of the classmate Liang in front of him and his basic reactions - overall, You Ling still felt that this wave was stable.

After all, he actually has many advantages now, not to mention that the enemy is in the open while he is in the dark - since he traveled to this world and saw the task given by the system, he began to arrange this formal meeting with Marufuji Ryo.

——We duelists are all well prepared. We never fight unprepared battles, only those that have been prepared for a long time... In short, the advantage is mine!

After the two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, Marufuji Ryo pursed his lips, seeming to lose his composure and was about to speak first: "So, we..."

Obviously, his question was very simple - Liang, who was currently in a complicated situation, with his mind full of card-related matters and willing to do anything for a duel, was most concerned about how Senior Shadow You Ling would teach him about dueling.

"——Hehe, no need to say more, I know what you are thinking."

In response, You Ling simply smiled slightly, and then used his actions to tell Marufuji Ryo his answer.

He turned around, picked up the duel disk that had been prepared long ago from the table next to him, and put it on his hand. Then, You Ling pointed to the duel disk in Liang's hand, which was being worn at that moment.

In the world of card playing, talking nonsense is as important as dueling - after the talking nonsense is over, of course it is time to end it with a satisfying card game to complete the first level of the novice mission.

——As the saying goes, there are several indispensable desires in human beings, namely the desire for sleep, appetite, desire for stars, and the desire to play cards... This is also recorded in the card master's way.

So, You Ling, still maintaining his enthusiastic demeanor as a senior brother, pointed at the duel disk Liang was wearing and said, "Ha, do you even need to ask this kind of question?"

"Marufuji Ryo, as a duelist, you must understand that there is nothing in this world that cannot be expressed through dueling!"

"You want to know what I'm thinking, what I'm going to do... something as simple as a duel, you'll soon find out!"

"Could it be that all these defeats have not only dampened your will as a duelist, but have even erased your memories of being a duelist?

As he spoke, You Ling laughed and raised his right hand: "——As a duelist, of course I have to speak with a duel!"

However, in response to You Ling’s invitation, Liang, the student sitting opposite him, did not express the intention of “fighting if you want to”.

On the contrary, You Ling noticed that after hearing his words, the first thing that flashed across Marufuji Ryo's face was a trace of fear.

That's right, fear - obviously, this nightmare-like experience of hardly ever winning during this period has engraved something unclean in Liang's DNA, making him afraid of even playing cards.

This kind of mentality will naturally make it difficult to duel... This is probably what they call, losing is a big deal, and the person has PTSD.

——Before this, You Ling actually didn’t know which method of speech therapy would be most effective for Liang, the classmate in front of her.

But after thinking about it for a while, his first reaction was to think of that well-known character who kept saying "trash" and "third-rate", the insulting words of President Kaiba.

I think, as the leader of the card world, the duelists should be quite impressed by President Kaiba's style... uh, right?

"Hmm? Looking at your eyes... you're actually, timid?" So, You Ling made a quick decision and decided to go with the adult's personality, a pure repressive education. "This is what Marufuji Ryo, the leader of the electronic flow, looks like when facing a duel? Haha, it's ridiculous!"

"As I said before, Electron Stream users... should struggle! Struggle! Constantly struggle!"

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted at Liang, "You only know how to escape, you can't even struggle... You idiot, you still want to pilot a cyber dragon?!"

"Why not just go home and find some trash like Disruptor Yellow, assemble a Disruptor Cyber Dragon, and put on a show like a clown!"

Anger is the best medicine for humans when facing fear - after hearing the words "Disrupt Yellow" and seeing his beloved deck being insulted to such an extent, Marufuji Ryo's expression gradually became colder, and the previous fear disappeared visibly from his face.

Even the system light screen in front of You Ling showed his current condition.

【Ryo Marufuji】

【State: Slightly red temperature】

[Note: The character has been enraged, and his dormant duelist spirit has been slightly rekindled, improving all his attributes.]

The text description in the system in front of him even surprised You Ling... Although he had tried to pick up the duel disk because of the novelty during the few days since he came to this world, this kind of character status description appeared for the first time.

——Perhaps this kind of thing is only possessed by elite characters like Marufuji Ryo?

As he spoke, facing Marufuji Ryo, who had already raised his arms and unfolded the duel disk, You Ling still maintained his chosen persona of a domineering president and waved his hand contemptuously.

"Well, not bad, you finally look like a duelist... But even so, I can't sense the slightest bit of arrogance in your eyes! You're still third-rate!"

"But I don't want to be known as a bully. As for who attacks first, it's up to you to choose!"

"......What!?"

After hearing these extremely contemptuous and even disrespectful words, Marufuji Ryo was furious!

Obviously, no matter which world of Yu-Gi-Oh, giving up the first attack at will is an act of extreme contempt for the opponent.
