A duelist never gives up!

Chapter 26 The experiment begins!

The granddaughter of the director of the institute.

This was Yuan Qi's first reaction when he heard Charlotte's name.

At the same time, it also made Yuan Qi feel a little uncomfortable.

There is nothing wrong with the dean letting his granddaughter participate in the experiment. It can even be said that letting his granddaughter bear the risks of the experiment is a bit selfless.

It’s just that I came here through Qinghai’s introduction, and the other experimenter is the dean’s granddaughter... The smell of connections is too strong.

But this is the institute's own experiment, and there is no benefit from it. I am probably being too sensitive.

Yuan Qi put his chaotic thoughts aside and asked Charlotte, "Is today's experiment about dueling with you?"

"That's right, but let's run a few laps first to test the performance of the D wheel." Charlotte nodded, then turned her wrist and overtook Yuan Qi from the right side.

"Is it really okay to let such a young girl drive the D-wheel?" Yuan Qi looked at the silver D-wheel in front of him with some concern. From the appearance, Charlotte was probably about 14 years old, like Nero.

"Aren't you only 16?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Yuan Qi turned his head to look beside him, but the familiar figure did not appear in front of him.

"I'm hallucinating..." Yuan Qi murmured twice and quickened his pace.

After running ten laps around the track, Yuan Qi and Charlotte pulled over together.

"How is it? Are you used to it?" Qinghai stepped forward and asked, and then reached out and touched his arms and back, as if he was afraid that he had lost a piece of flesh.

"I'm fine." Yuan Qi shook his head.

"I feel good now." Charlotte walked down from the D wheel and stood in front of Albert.

"Very good, then let's begin the duel," Albert said seriously. "There's a man-made duel disk on the D-wheel. All you have to do is sit on it, and it will automatically absorb the duel power within you to start the duel."

"Speaking of which, this was the dean's idea. We were originally thinking about how to prevent the inconvenience of the duel disk on the arm during high-speed movement, but we didn't expect the dean to invent an artificial duel disk..." Qinghai also took the opportunity to introduce it to Yuan Qi.

"I didn't invent it." Albert interrupted coldly.

"Dean, you are being modest again." The researcher beside him chuckled.

"Yes, who else could it be but you?"

“To be too modest is to be inauthentic.”

Albert didn't say anything, but frowned and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and start the experiment."

Upon seeing this, the researchers immediately shut up, but they still didn't understand why Albert suddenly got angry.

Yuan Qi looked at Albert deeply, and he probably understood something in his heart. The duel disk on the D wheel was probably studied by the dean from Honglian's duel disk?

Or to put it bluntly...imitation?

Albert had no idea what Yuan Qi was thinking, but he pulled out two decks of cards from his pocket and said, "You guys use these two for this experiment."

"why?"

Before Yuan Qi could say anything, Charlotte beside him asked.

"If the duel ends too quickly, the experiment will be meaningless." Albert said concisely.

"Is that so?" Charlotte nodded thoughtfully. "Am I too strong?"

"Huh?" Yuan Qi looked at Charlotte strangely, not understanding why she said that.

"Don't you understand? What my grandfather means is that because I am too strong, if I use my own deck to duel with you, the duel will most likely end in one or two rounds, and the data collected may not be enough. So I have to use two decks of similar strength." Charlotte explained to Yuan Qi word by word.

Yuan Qi shook his head and said expressionlessly: "No, I mean..."

"You are too weak, Charlotte." Albert said mercilessly.

"I'm too weak?!" Charlotte glared, a little unconvinced. "What are you talking about, Grandpa?"

"Has your long stay at the institute resulted in a lack of information?" Albert murmured as he looked at Charlotte. "It seems I need to let you interact with the outside world appropriately."

"So, what do you mean by me being too weak?!" Charlotte puffed up her cheeks and looked up at Albert.

"Do you remember the 'Silent Incident' a few months ago?" Albert said lightly.

Charlotte nodded. "Terrorists using the wanted criminal Hongzhong as their theme summoned the Dark God of Duel at the National High School Competition, attempting to absorb all the dueling power in the world."

"Do you know who solved that incident?" Albert continued.

"The captain of the Duelist Academy's regular team—Hara Qi..." Charlotte's pupils shrank sharply when she said this. She asked in disbelief, "Are you the Hara Qi?"

"I told you my name as soon as we met, right?" Yuan Qi shrugged.

"So it's you." Charlotte looked Yuan Qi up and down. "You look no different from an ordinary person."

Just a little more handsome.

"Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?" Yuan Qi complained.

"Grandpa is right. If we really use our own decks, the duel may be over in one or two rounds. But if the decks are of similar strength... it may not be certain." After Charlotte knew Yuan Qi's identity, there was no fear on her face. Instead, she was full of fighting spirit.

"Then you first?" Yuan Qi made a gesture of invitation.

"Since you are a guest, please go first." Charlotte raised her eyebrows.

"Then I won't be polite." Yuan Qi chose the deck in Albert's right hand without hesitation. After all, he felt it was very troublesome to keep giving in.

So Charlotte added the rest of the deck to her hand.

"Take a look at your deck builds first, and then we'll start in ten minutes," Albert said, turning to the researchers nearby. "Stop standing there and start collecting data."

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, Yuan Qi got back on the red D-wheel and came to the track with Charlotte.

"First, let me explain the difference between a Mounted Duel and a regular Duel," Albert's voice boomed over the radio. "First, Field Spell Cards cannot be used in a Mounted Duel. When the Duel begins, a Field Spell Card—High-Speed ​​World—will automatically activate. Both players must activate High-Speed ​​World simultaneously for the Duel to begin. High-Speed ​​World's effect is: Except for the first round of initiative, each player's turn will have one additional counter added to their preparations. At that moment, their D wheel will speed up. Conversely, when the counter decreases, their D wheel will automatically slow down. The Speed ​​Counter can accumulate up to 1."

"What is the function of the indicator?" Yuan Qi asked.

"We have envisioned it, but there are still some technical difficulties that cannot be overcome," Albert explained.

The main reason is that they cannot interfere with the rules of the duel, otherwise a mounted duel would never be as simple as just a duel on a D-wheel.

"Any questions?" Albert continued.

"No more." Yuan Qi shook his head.

"Then, let the experiment begin!"

Chapter 27: Synchro Summoning!

Following Albert's command, a cold, synthetic sound of machinery emanated from Yuan Qi's D-wheel:

"Field Magic Card - High-Speed ​​World Activation."

"Duel mode autopilot ready."

"Mount Duel Speed ​​Up!"

The next second, a strong wind whistled in Yuan Qi's ears - his D wheel had already started speeding across the field.

"drop."

Charlotte, who was driving in front of Yuan Qi, made a crisp sound from her D wheel, which meant that she had the right to choose the first or second move.

"I choose the back-up plan!" Charlotte glanced at Yuan Qi, hesitated for a moment and then said softly.

The deck she obtained had no advantage in going first, so it would be better for her to choose to draw one more card in the second round.

"Backhand? Then I won't be polite!" Yuan Qi said, drawing five cards from his deck, and then under Charlotte's vigilant gaze...

"I cover a monster, cover three cards, and the turn ends." Yuan Qi glanced at his hand cards, then covered a monster on the duel disk, and then inserted three cards.

"What? Is this the end of the turn?!" Charlotte's pupils shrank sharply. Could it be that he had obtained a deck that was mainly based on pit beats? If so, those three covered cards would probably be red pits. Damn it, I should have known not to let him go first!

But the reality is...

"My hand is stuck."

Yuan Qi twitched his lips, looking at his only remaining card. "Is it because of Ai Yi's departure?" he asked. "It feels like all the good luck I had before has flown away. No, I should say..."

It's a deck issue.

Yuan Qi quickly came up with his own answer.

The deck that Albert gave him was mainly based on Synchro, with a strength of about T3, and the construction looked weird.

At first, Yuan Qi was wondering if such a large institution as the research institute could not give itself a deck that was at least reasonably constructed?

But when Yuan Qi noticed Charlotte's tender face, he immediately understood one thing.

Normal talented boys and girls aged 14-16 use card decks of this level. I am used to using competitive card decks, so I feel uncomfortable.

If the Institute gave himself and Charlotte a deck that was barely competitive enough, an awkward situation would arise—Charlotte would be unable to use the deck.

The biggest problem with non-competitive decks is... they are not stable enough.

While Yuan Qi was thinking, Charlotte also started to act.

Charlotte stretched out her slender arm, gently pulled a card from the deck, and said, "My turn, draw a card!"

Charlotte's eyes lit up as she looked at the card she had drawn. She couldn't wait to insert it into the Duel Disc and said, "I enter the Main Phase and activate the Spell Card - Summon Resonator!"

"The effect of this card is to add 1 "Resonator" monster from the deck to the hand. I added Crimson Resonator from the deck to the hand!" Charlotte shouted.

"Then, I Normal Summon Red Lotus Resonator!"

As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, a monster made of flames appeared next to her D-wheel and flew forward along with her D-wheel.

"I activate the effect of Crimson Resonator. It can only be activated when this card is successfully summoned. Special Summon a Level 1 or lower monster from your hand!" Charlotte said, glancing at the face-up card on the original field, and couldn't help muttering, "No chain? Then..."

"I chain-activate the effect of Crimson Wolf!" Charlotte said, showing a card in her hand. "I can only activate this effect when I successfully summon a 'Resonator' monster. Special Summon this card from your hand. The attack power of this card Special Summoned by this effect is halved!"

According to the rule of the last to come first, the red lotus wolf wrapped in flames appeared first on Charlotte's right side, its pair of green eyes glowing like glass under the light.

"Next, I special summon the Dust King Grayslash in my hand!" Charlotte slapped a four-star monster in her hand on the duel disk and said.

Gray Harrow, dressed in red and holding a huge black blade, appeared on Charlotte's field, with a strange smile on his dark face.

In just a few seconds, Charlotte summoned three monsters. In the past, Yuan Qi would probably show an indifferent expression, but now...

Yuan Qi looked at the three ferocious monsters on Charlotte's field, then glanced at the monsters covering his own field. He couldn't help but mutter, "Are these two decks really about the same strength? Why do I feel like there's a huge difference?"

I can only block one with the first move, but Charlotte has already summoned three monsters, and if my memory is correct, one of them is probably an adjustment monster!

Meanwhile, Charlotte, seeing Yuan Qi's lack of response, couldn't help but grow suspicious. "The magic isn't working, and neither are the monster effects. Could it be an attack, propaganda, or trap card?"

"Whatever. I have resources that I can still recover from next turn even if I'm countered!" Charlotte gritted her teeth, pulled a card from her extra deck, and raised it high, shouting in a clear voice, "I will adjust the Stars of the Level 2 Crimson Resonator and the Level 6 Crimson Wolf on the field!"

"Is it really going to be a Synchro Summon?" Yuan said with a serious expression. He probably had guessed Charlotte's deck and what monster Charlotte was going to summon. If everything went as he expected, then the situation would be quite bad.

"The shock of the king is now revealed!"

"Look at the power of the roar of heaven and earth!"

"Synchronous Summon! Crimson Demon Dragon!!!"

"Boom!"

For a moment, the air seemed to be really shaken, and scorching flames spurted out. The red dragon let out a deafening roar, waving its huge wings and floating beside Charlotte.

"So... are the decks really about the same strength?" Yuan Qi muttered, looking at the gigantic Crimson Dragon before him. "And that summoning line is a bit too childish, isn't it? Aren't you really ashamed?"

Of course she would feel ashamed. In fact, Charlotte's cute little face had turned red all the way to her ears. At this moment, she wished she could dig a hole and hide herself in it!

If she didn't know that shouting out this summoning word could better gain the monster's recognition, she wouldn't have shouted it out!

Yes, according to research, when summoning a powerful monster, if you can shout out the summoning words that suit the monster's wishes, the mental pressure you will experience will be less.

As for why... probably because the monster will be happy.

However, this wasn't the first time Charlotte had done this, so she quickly adjusted herself and turned her gaze towards the covered monster on Yuan Qi's field. "Let me unveil the mystery of the monster on your field!"

"I enter the Battle Phase! Use Crimson Dragon to attack the monsters covered on your field!!!"
