Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

If possible, Xing Yewu would like to chat with You Xi more.

But time and place no longer allowed her to delay any longer.

"Well, see you later, Yuxi-kun. I hope to have another duel like this with you next time."

"Well, bye, Miss Xingye."

You Xi also obviously realized this.

The envy, jealousy, admiration of the winners by the people around... and the sight of their patience almost reaching its limit are quite piercing.

So, the two shook hands and said goodbye for the last time.

You Xi walked down the stairs and gave the stage to the next challenger.

Standing outside the crowd, he watched Xing Yewu's duel performance for a while, then lowered his head.

"Okay... Next, let's check the spoils."

……

Away from the crowded and bustling square where it was easy to attract attention, You Xi found an empty bench and sat down.

And unpack the box as soon as possible.

The contents inside are mainly duel disks, data cables and chargers.

The functions of the latter two are self-explanatory, as the Duel Disk was fully charged in advance. After starting the Duel Disk, You Xi followed the instructions in the user manual to enter his fingerprints, voiceprints, etc. into the Duel Disk system, binding himself to the Duel Disk.

In this way, unless it is hacked by a hacker, no one other than him can use this duel disk without permission.

This is You Xi's biggest gain since his time traveling through time today, but his spoils are not limited to these.

After putting away the palm-sized duel disk that was in standby mode and folded up, You Xi took out a tan card box from his shirt pocket.

After the card box was opened, it was discovered that the card deck sleeping inside was the one he had fought alongside not long ago and had won the fruits of victory from the idol-like girl.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to call it a card deck rather than a card pile.

But this card deck that Youxi trusted has undergone new changes at this moment.

"Ace Knight, Ace Straight, Light Sealing Sword..."

After taking out the full 60 cards from the main and extra card deck, there are still a few cards in the card box.

Moving his eyes left and right, You Xi checked each card one by one and soon came to a conclusion - these were not the cards that were supposed to be in the box, but products that appeared out of thin air.

As for why this conclusion can be drawn, the reason is obvious. Because this deck is a pure fan deck, faithfully recreating the deck construction of Wang Yang and Muto Yugi in the anime. And the cards mentioned above, except for "Light Guardian Soul Sealing Sword", have never appeared in the anime for a single second.

To put it more bluntly, it is a money-making card released by Konami based on the theme of DM protagonist...a nostalgia enhancement card.

In addition, at the end of the duel with Xingye Wu, Youxi also sensed the warmth and strangeness coming from the card box. These cards must have appeared at that time.

"Hmm... According to the normal development of online novels, this should be my real golden finger, right?" You Xi looked at the cards and murmured his guess.

From the logic of operation, it is probably about obtaining new cards after winning a duel, which is a very simple and easy-to-understand routine rule. Although the range and strength of the cards are a bit subtle.

But getting new cards to strengthen the deck is good news worth celebrating anyway.

Moreover, even though it has not appeared yet, a certain possibility cannot be ruled out - since the original cards in his deck have become animated versions, he may be able to get other animated cards with the help of the cheat code.

For example, the animated version of "Mirror of the Spirits", "Lord of the Heavens", and the yet-to-be-released "Yellow Spring Wheel"...

If this is true, then one of his future goals will be to duel as much as possible and get those cards into his hand so that his deck and his own strength can be taken to the next level.

"However, I'd better think about the golden finger later. Now, other things are more important."

After packing up all the spoils, You Xi couldn't help but reveal a look of distress on his face.

By now, the initial excitement brought by the time travel and duel had almost passed, and he had to face a somewhat cruel reality.

That is――

Food and accommodation.

Volume 9: Chapter : Meet Again

"Food" and "accommodation".

To expand the definition further, it means "what to eat tonight" and "where to sleep".

You Xi wasn't sure how many other time travelers had encountered this problem, but these were the two major challenges he had to face first.

You know, he is not a person whose soul has traveled through time and space, but a person who has traveled through time and space.

I have no relatives or friends in this world. I am all alone and a complete illegal.

Most importantly: no money.

Without money, you can’t eat or find a good place to live.

It is said that a person can fast for up to seven days, but in You Xi's case, he would probably be dead on the streets after three days.

Therefore, after getting the first duel disk in his life, You Xi’s immediate and urgent goal was not to study how to use the cheat code, but to find a way to get money.

Unfortunately, up to now, You Xi still hasn't met the "humanoid self-propelled wallets" with the friendly nickname "Friends of Time Travelers", so it seems that there is no hope for him to make the first pot of gold by traveling through time through this shortcut.

Although it is not impossible for him to take the initiative to "do a brave job", everyone on the street looks like a delinquent, and he really can't tell which one is the target.

If the situation gets out of hand, it wouldn't be good if the police from this world were attracted.

Wait, it would be nice if I was caught by the police? That way, all my food and accommodation problems would be solved...

"No, no, no, this won't work."

You Xi shook his head and threw this seemingly "tempting" idea out of his head. It is better not to adopt this evil choice easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

But since even this trick doesn't work...

"As expected, I still have to use the direct attack method first."

You Xi patted his cheeks with both hands, using just the right amount of force to wake himself up from his meaningless fantasies.

Then, his determined eyes fell on the nearby shops.

……

"About 200 yuan, it should be enough for a while."

As the sun sets in the west, the sky begins to darken, and street lamps light up one after another, replacing the afterglow of the setting sun and spreading warm yellow light to the surrounding roads.

Passing by all kinds of pedestrians, his shadow grew longer and shorter as the light changed, the black-haired boy lowered his head to count the banknotes, revealing an expression of slight satisfaction and relief.

This is the result of his hard work over the past few hours using the direct offensive method - "working part-time".

Because of family reasons, You Xi often worked part-time to pay for his studies. After eliminating all unrealistic ideas, this was the first method he thought of.

It is legal and makes money quickly, so in theory it is the best choice.

As long as he could find a part-time job today that paid in cash daily, offered high salaries, was simple and easy work, and did not require any identification, You Xi would be able to survive the first few days, and then slowly gain a foothold in this world.

This was his first day of traveling through the country, and he was in the best physical and mental condition, making him most likely to pass the interview.

Of course, it would be best if you could directly find a long-term worker who meets the above conditions and also provides food and accommodation.

Of course, You Xi also knew that this was too idealistic, so he wouldn't hold too high hopes for it.

Fortunately, with experience and a little luck, after asking more than a dozen stores, he soon found a job that barely met the requirements and received his salary smoothly.

Thanks to his previous part-time job, You Xi had a preliminary idea of ​​the value of the Alliance Coin, and its purchasing power was roughly the same as RMB in the original world. This time, he didn't have to worry about the tragedy of the time travelers starving to death in the short term.

Congratulations, congratulations.

"But... it's worthy of being the world of Duel Brains, right? Even the currency portraits are based on Yu-Gi-Oh cards."

Touching the hundred-dollar bills that others called "Alliance Currency", You Xi once again realized the difference in this world. He was still a little uncomfortable with this thing that looked like a fake bill.

"Also, why is the avatar printed on it "Witch Master Glass Witch"? Is this little bitch very famous in this world?"

I don't understand.

Throughout the whole day, there were too many things that Youxi couldn't understand.

All kinds of information are coming in one after another, which is really overwhelming. It is very difficult to process and digest it.

"...Anyway, let's start the investigation together tomorrow."

After a day of activities, You Xi was already starving and had no energy to care about anything else. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to fill his stomach first.

After looking around, Youxi followed the crowd through the traffic lights and walked into a nearby supermarket with the sign "Magic Dessert - Pudding Princess".

The supermarket was filled with a dazzling array of goods, needless to say. You Xi's eyes only briefly glanced at them, and he overcame the temptation from them and walked towards the predetermined target area as planned.

He didn't want to buy much, just a few bottles of mineral water and bread, which would be the staple food for tonight and tomorrow morning. After buying things, the next thing to consider was the accommodation issue, and You Xi also had some ideas about this.

He decided to learn from his great hobo predecessors and find a suitable park, bridge hole or abandoned house to spend a few days in. Well, that is, if those places have not been taken by others first.

That being said, he might need a detailed map of this city called "Morning Light"...

"Um……?"

Thinking of this, You Xi felt something was wrong when he came out of the supermarket after shopping.

There was a damp and cold feeling on the bridge of my nose, then on my cheeks and hair, and my clothes were also stained with wet marks. I looked up, but there were no stars in the dark night sky, only visible drops of water falling rapidly.

"No way, it's raining?"

You Xi quickly hid back under the supermarket entrance, and then watched the rain outside grow larger all of a sudden, and soon it became a scale that could not be described with the bland word "light rain".

There is no way to leave now, and the plans mentioned above have become a waste.

What bad luck! It happens to rain at this time.

"What should we do? Wait until the rain stops?"

Or should he go back to the supermarket and buy another umbrella? But he didn't want to spend more money...

"Huh? Yu Xi-kun?"

Perhaps because he was too focused on his worries and thinking about his own affairs, You Xi was unable to hear clearly for a moment. It was not until the second call that the light and pleasant voice with a hint of surprise reached his ears.

"Eh?"

You Xi turned his head slightly and looked towards the source of the sound -

"Ms. Xingye?"

The one who called out to him was the blonde girl whom You Xi had only met once during the day.

world

Volume 10: Chapter Do you want to come to my house?

The sound of raindrops fell on the ground, making a crisp sound.

The moon and stars disappeared behind the dark clouds in this sudden weather, and the street lamps replaced them to illuminate the surroundings, increasing the visibility as much as possible.

In the rain, the blonde girl Xing Yewu held an umbrella, with a hint of surprise on her pretty face, looking at the boy hiding from the rain at the entrance of the supermarket.

The same expression also appeared on You Xi's face.

"Miss Xingye?"

"What a coincidence, You Xijun."

At this moment, Xing Yewu had already changed out of the shiny clothes she wore during the day, and was now wearing a homely sweatshirt that was comfortable and fashionable.

Rather than being an idol during the day, she is more like a friendly and casual girl next door.

She raised her fair hands and shook them, smiling, "I didn't expect that we would meet here again so soon. It seems that we may be destined to meet each other."

"It's a coincidence indeed."

The sudden encounter with an acquaintance made You Xi's mood, which was ruined by the rainy day, better.

While he was echoing Xing Yewu's words, he asked curiously, "Miss Xing Ye, are you here to buy something? Does she live nearby?"

"Yes, it's less than 500 meters away from this Puppet Supermarket. I usually come here to do some shopping. But it suddenly started raining halfway through the walk. Fortunately, I have the habit of bringing an umbrella with me, otherwise it would have been terrible."

Xing Yewu took a few steps and entered the protection of the supermarket roof.

She put away her umbrella, shook off the raindrops, and watched the people and cars coming and going in the rain outside with You Xi beside her. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to make what she called a "big purchase".

It seems that compared to "buy, buy, buy!", You Xi can arouse her interest more at the moment.

"You Xijun, too? You look like you just finished shopping, right? My umbrella is quite big, why don't you wait for me? When I'm done shopping, I can take you home."
