Yu-Gi-Oh!, all my sister cards have maxed out their favorability?

Liu Jiuyue nodded.

Of course, this has no impact on world-class players like Liu Jiuyue, but it is a big shock to other domestic star players.

It can be said that there are only fifteen people in the world who are stronger than Liu Jiuyue. After this wave of card deck updates, it is still unknown what Liu Jiuyue's ranking will be.

Those fifteen players are definitely not likely to be poached by other leagues, and will not pose any threat to Liu Jiuyue's position in the country.

But Liu Jiuyue is definitely the "one super" among the "one super and many strong" in the country, and the level of others is still some distance away from Liu Jiuyue.

Those players who were recruited have a huge impact on these people.

Moreover, the salary space for other players is also greatly compressed, because according to the league's regulations, additional recruitment taxes are required to recruit players to play.

Liu Jiuyue is already the undisputed number one in the country, and other bosses will definitely want to introduce some variables to see if they can cause her some trouble.

So looking at everyone's expressions, it seems that they are not very happy.

Not only will you get less money, but the environment will also be undergoing a major update, which means that more money will be spent on deck updates.

After all, not everyone is as bold and careful as Liu Jiuyue, willing to take risks in the elf world.

Li Youfeng could only say that professional players are worthy of being professional players. After an entire afternoon of competition and two hours of rest, Liu Jiuyue basically showed off in this box.

He never stopped talking and was eating, without stopping to chat with the two people.

It can be said to be a professional level of energy control.

"I have a question, Xiaoji." Li Youfeng said hesitantly, "There should be a clause about maintaining a good figure in the endorsement contract, right?"

"Of course." Liu Jiuyue was still showing off the snacks on the tray. "Just control your diet and exercise regularly. And I have a special nutritionist who makes a diet plan every day so that I can eat whatever I want on the day of the competition."

"Won't you feel dizzy after eating so many carbohydrates, Xiaoji?" Ye Zi asked as if pretending to be dizzy.

Liu Jiuyue shook her head. "You know that we eat a lot at noon, so we can just do our usual exercise plan before lunch."

Sure enough, professional competitions are not an easy place.

Li Youfeng secretly sighed that even the staff behind the scenes had made great efforts.

He suddenly felt a little emotional. For these professional players, especially some mid-level professional players, if they missed a good game due to their physical condition, they might never have a chance to turn things around in their lifetime.

With half an hour left before the game started, Liu Jiuyue finally stopped talking and started playing with her phone.

Suddenly, Liu Jiyue froze in her chair, staring at her phone and started to say “Huh?”

The two of them immediately turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"My next round opponent withdrew from the competition." Liu Jiuyue said, "I'm quitting."

"Ah? Why?" The two people immediately came to Liu Jiuyue.

"It hasn't been announced yet. We'll have to wait a while to find out." Liu Jiuyue shook her head, "I'm a bye this round."

It seems that Liu Jiuyue doesn't look very sad, but she doesn't look happy either.

"I think it's probably a contract issue," Liu Jiyue said. "Because the league's rules are basically updated in January and July, many players' contracts are renewed and transferred during this time."

"It's probably because of some unreasonable salary or some other contract issue."

Liu Jiuyue shook her head. It was hard for her to say whether this was right or not.

Anyway, I advanced in this round.

"Hey, wait, I'll take a break first." Liu Jiuyue shrugged, "Anyway, the alliance is becoming more and more commercialized, and this kind of thing is inevitable during the pain period."

Li Youfeng also slumped on the sofa.

"Look, that foreign player." Liu Jiuyue pointed at the foreign face at the focus table, "That's JCG's foreign player. One of his teammates is my opponent this round."

Li Youfeng looked over from a distance. It was a photo ID of a smiling white person. The team uniform was black and gold. The color combination seemed a bit dull and not good-looking for white people.

"The uniforms designed for the players are totally inappropriate, but they can't wait to bring in foreign players." Liu Jiuyue sighed, "Everyone is pursuing plug-and-play, what about our young players?"

Chapter 86: Need a "Catfish"

"Let's put aside the commotion that just happened and get back to the competition!"

"The focus table match is between the American foreign player Us from JCG and ADG's player Aoming."

"Let's still take a look at the key cards of the two players."

"The key card used by the lesser-known player Uz is [Conquering Spirit: Spiral Entanglement]. The key card used by the more familiar player Ou Ming is still [Neu Punk: Zeami]."

When Li Youfeng heard the name of the key card, he knew that if the domestic player did not change his deck, this game would be difficult.

"【Conquering Fighting Spirit】? It's a deck I've never seen before." Ye Zi said.

They both looked back at her at the same time.

"Isn't [Conquer Fighting Spirit] the deck I played before?" Liu Jiuyue said playfully, "It was also the deck I played in the last round of the Swiss round - aren't you my die-hard fan?"

Being questioned by her idol about her fan status, Ye Zi felt a little embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her cheeks: "I have to have my own life too~"

The two of them stopped teasing her and just watched the scene quietly.

Liu Jiuyue's deck is qualified to launch a rapid attack - as far as Li Youfeng knows, Ye Zi can produce [Duke Xiangjian·Chengying].

But it is very difficult for [Punk] to produce such a monster.

It was even the case that [Conquering Fighting Spirit] attacked first.

Liu Jiuyue's mind wasn't even on the game, and one could even see a hint of sadness on her face.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ji?" Ye Zi keenly noticed that something was wrong with Liu Ji Yue.

"Losing to a foreign player for the first time on the focus table is not a good thing." Liu Jiuyue said, "You know what the Internet will be like tonight."

Everyone will know what the public opinion situation will be like next.

All three fell into silence.

"But, in the end, as long as you win the championship, doesn't it prove that you are still the strongest?"

"Do you still need me?" Liu Jiuyue smiled bitterly. "The coach of this foreign player came to ask me if I wanted to sign him. I watched some of his matches and thought his level was average and his price was high, so I gave up."

"I don't think he'll even make it to the semifinals."

"But this is the first day of opening up to foreign players. If you lose at the focus table, no matter what, it will become the final argument that 'we are all rubbish and must rely on foreign players'."

Before Liu Jiuyue could explain the consequences, the expressions on both of their faces were already very solemn.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Li Youfeng shrugged and pointed out the window, "Let's watch the game first."

At this point we have entered the main stage of the competition.

The foreign player will attack first.

Normally summon [Conquering Spirit·Spiral Entanglement] first.

[VS] is not a particularly difficult deck to develop. The core winning point of this deck is the same as that of Sky Striker, which is to exchange resources in the early and middle stages, and then use the huge amount of resources to crush the opponent.

Of course, it is also very easy to block the deployment of [Conquering Fighting Spirit] by using the Nullification System or Gray Flowing Beauty to give him a general move of his subordinates.

For example, the [Spiral] on the field now.

Knowing that foreign players would be playing, the players must have made adequate preparations.

[Infinite Bubble] was activated in chain, targeting [Spiral] on the field, and this card was negated.

Then the opponent chained the [Heavy Cyborg] in his hand, returned [Spiral] to the hand, and then special summoned this card.

This way you can avoid the opponent's [Infinite Bubbles].

"The best solution to the opponent's NS [Spiral Entanglement] is [Gray Flowing Beauty]." Liu Jiuyue said, "The first movement of [Conquering Fighting Spirit] is the easiest to interrupt."

"However, if I don't have any other invalid tricks, this is the best result."

The effect is resolved, [Cyborg] falls to the ground, then [Bubble] loses its target, and the effect of [Spiral] is resolved.

Searched for a [Dragon Emperor].

It is still the normal development of [Conquering the Fighting Spirit].

Then activate the effect of [Cyborg], reveal [Spiral] in your hand, and draw a card.

Li Youfeng shook his head. "If it's really pure [Punk], it's probably over. The whole family of pure punk can't get past the all-resistant [Dragon Emperor]."

Now the opponent uses [Cyborg] as Link Material to Link Summon [Virtual Image of the Fighting God].

When landing, the chain lights up, throw [Effect Masker] to the Graveyard, and choose [Image of the Fighting God] to negate its effect until the End Phase of this turn.

"If I had forcefully invalidated [Spiral Entanglement] before, maybe it would have been better." Liu Jiuyue shook her head, "Or I could have waited until the next round to invalidate [Virtual Image]. This way, I would have simply used my power to invalidate the counter."

The effect of [Virtual Image] is to either draw a [Conquering Spirit] from your hand, or select a [Conquering Spirit] from the graveyard and add it to your hand.

However, the opponent's core deployment point [Spiral] is in his hand. In the next round, he will directly use [Virtual Image] to perform the special move [Spiral] one, and then [Dragon Emperor] will activate its effect and fall down. This is also a scene that Punk cannot accept.

"I made too many mistakes. I randomly traded cards with unfamiliar decks." Li Youfeng said, "Maybe I stayed in the warm water for too long and forgot how cold it was outside."

Ye Zi was stunned. "I don't think I have to face this right after entering the league, do I?"

"You're not afraid of the men in black, so you're afraid of this?"

Li Youfeng raised his eyebrows.

Ye Zi shook her head. "It's not that I'm afraid of the things in the game, but this kind of pressure, and those things on the Internet..."

"Until you learn to take everything lightly, you should just focus on creating." Liu Jiuyue said.

Now it's Punk's turn.

At the first point in the Main Phase, he Normal Summons a Zeami.

Li Youfeng sighed.

This is purely a gap in information. Knowing that the opponent is [Conquering Fighting Spirit], he will definitely not use [Punk] to fight.

Then the opponent took advantage of the time when the normal summon landed and completed a whole combo.

[Punk] After eating this fry, it’s basically goodbye.

Li Youfeng couldn't bear to watch what happened next, and he didn't dare to look at the Internet tonight.

There will definitely be a bloody storm on the Internet.

"You Feng." Liu Jiuyue said, "I'll make a bet with you."

"what?"

"I bet that even if I win tonight, there will still be people who will criticize me for not being able to beat the foreign players, and that the Chinese duel is over."

"What are you gambling?"

"Let's bet... on a [Named One of Eradication], how about that?"

Li Youfeng has seen the price of the sword finger.

"Deal." Li Youfeng said with a smile, "I bet I'll ask you to buy two foreign players to play on the tour tonight."

"make a deal."

While they were talking, the side game was over.

The foreign players can be said to have won "in a way that lived up to expectations".

Tonight is destined to be a bloody night.

Chapter 87: Constructed Poison

Liu Jiuyue and Li Youfeng agreed on the bet and left the room.

"Is that foreign aid really that strong?" Ye Zi asked tentatively.

Li Youfeng shook his head: "Not necessarily. Punk was too casual in his trade-offs, and I don't have any means to overcome all resistances."

"If Xiaoji had that kind of hand, it probably wouldn't be so difficult."

Li Youfeng said this with great certainty while turning on the commentary in the box.

"... Let's take a look at the focus table of the next round - Liu Jiyue vs. Wu Si. It's time to test the quality of the foreign players!"

Li Youfeng couldn't help laughing. Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then started laughing too.

Now Liu Jiuyue is going to lose the bet.
