A duelist never gives up!

Chapter 107: You can add money

The next day, the two sat by the clear stream, eating the few remaining dry food, and enjoying the unique tranquility of the forest.

"What should we do now?" Noah couldn't help but ask, "Kill Sasha and everyone who knew about this?"

"Your way of thinking... is a bit similar to a friend of mine." Yuan Qi twitched his lips, and the image of Honglian appeared in his mind, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Killing people is not a good idea. If you can avoid it, don't do it."

"So...are you going to kill Ino for me?" Noah said, reaching out to hold Yuan Qi's arm, and putting his rosy lips close to Yuan Qi's earlobe, saying, "Although I'm not as kind and thoughtful as Noah, in other aspects, I think I'm still not bad."

"Seven! What are you doing!?"

Ai, who was floating in the air, was immediately furious when she saw this scene: "It's okay that she was unable to move yesterday, but how could you let her hold your arm!"

"Don't make such jokes." Yuan Qi pulled his hand away and said, "I've thought of a better way."

"What method?" Noah looked at Yuan Qi in confusion. Either kill all the enemies, or one of him and Ino survive. What else could he do?

"Why not just destroy the original place?" Yuan Qi said calmly.

"...What?!" Noah's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Yuan Qidao in astonishment, "Destroy the Origin Land?!"

"That's right. As long as the starting place is destroyed, there will be no way to sacrifice you to the God of Duel even if I want to." Yuan Qi said seriously.

"But... if that happens, humans won't be able to produce Duelists stably in the future, and maybe... no Duelists will appear anymore... humans might be exterminated by Duel Monsters..." Noah was frightened by Yuan Qi's suggestion and became incoherent for a while.

"Why do you care about the future of humanity?" Yuan Qi flicked Noah's forehead and said, "If you care about the future of humanity, shouldn't you be selfless and willing to die?"

Noah fell silent. She was not great.

But even so, Yuan Qi's idea was still too fantastical, because...

"The starting place is deep under the sea and will not rise until the special offer is unlocked." Noah reminded Yuan Qidao.

"What we want is for it to never rise." Yuan Qi said, "I know a way to prevent it from rising. All we need is to get inside."

"That's the bottom of the ocean. Do you know what the ocean is? It's not as big as this little stream." Noah stood up, walked to the stream, and said in a deep voice, "If this stream is a leaf, then the ocean is an entire forest. No, it's even more than that. Do you understand what I mean?"

"If we rely solely on human strength, there's really no way," Yuan Qi said calmly, "but what if we harness the power of Duel Monsters?"

"Even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon can't move under the sea." Noah frowned.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Yuan Qi glanced at Ai beside him and said, "As long as we reach the starting point, everything will be easy."

Noah looked at Yuan Qi suspiciously, but seeing his determined expression, he breathed a sigh of relief, held out his hand to Yuan Qi and said, "If that's the case, let's go quickly. If we're late, Sasha and the others might notice us."

"Yeah." Yuan Qi nodded, took Noah's hand and stood up. "By the way, do you know which direction the Origin Land is?"

"...Are you serious?" Noah looked at Yuan Qidao coldly. He clearly knew how to destroy the Originating Land, but he didn't even know the direction of the Originating Land. Isn't that too suspicious?

"Hahaha, believe me..." Yuan Qi said with two dry laughs.

Actually he lied.

But strictly speaking, it was only a half lie.

He was indeed planning to go to the Origin Land, but not to destroy it, but...

Challenge the Dark God of Duel!

"If we challenge the Dark God of Duel to a duel, we can snatch the lives and freedom of Ino and Noa from her," Ai said, a look of worry crossing her adorable face. "I just don't know what she'll ask us to stake."

"There's no point in thinking about this now. Let's wait until we meet the Dark God of Duel." Yuan Qi said to Ai, "Besides, she probably doesn't know you've sneaked in yet. We can use that information to spread the word."

"That makes sense." Ai nodded, putting aside the worries deep in her heart.

In this way, Yuan Qi, Ai and Noah began to head towards the starting place.

What they didn't know was that in the cloudless sky, a pair of black eyes were staring at them motionlessly.

……

"Hey, little girl, I really can't go on."

In the pitch-black night, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly stopped on the road. The driver said to the carriage behind him, "We've been running all day and all night. If we keep going any longer, the horses won't be able to bear it."

"I... I can pay more." A childish and crisp voice came from the carriage, suddenly like a clear spring in the mountains, calming the driver's originally anxious mood.

But even so, he did not agree to Nero's request.

"This isn't a question of money. If I keep running, my horse will be ruined. No matter how much money you give me, I will..."

"I'll give you enough money to buy a new horse," Nero said in a clear voice. "So can we continue?"

"Well..." The driver hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Even if I want to, the horse won't. If I force it to run and something happens, I haven't slept for a long time. What if it accidentally falls off the horse? I have a family to take care of."

"……OK then."

Nero, who was sitting in the carriage, was finally persuaded: "Let's find a place to rest for the night."

"I'm glad you understand." The driver breathed a sigh of relief, his anxious heart slowly relaxing.

Although the other party is just a little girl, she is a real duelist. It will be troublesome if you offend her.

However, despite saying this, the driver did not regret taking the order, not only because the customer had few requirements, but more importantly... this customer was really generous.

If we have a disagreement, they would ask, "Can I pay more?", "Is this enough?", "If it's not enough, I can add more."

After all his years as a rickshaw driver, this was the first time he had met such a generous customer. With this order alone, he could earn enough for a whole year.

Of course, people should learn to be content. Since the other person is young, he may not have much concept of money. If you charge too much, it will attract the attention of his elders and cause trouble.

Thinking of this, a flattering look suddenly appeared on the driver's face. He asked into the carriage: "Um, I have some pancakes here, do you want some..."

"No, thanks."

Nero sat alone in the carriage. He took out a candy wrapped in paper from his pocket, slowly tore it open, and threw it into his mouth.

Nero knew that he should not eat food from strangers when he was away from home.

But one candy is not enough to fill you up...

Nero touched his belly and sighed softly. He decided to wait until he found Yuan Qi and the others and then have a big meal together.

Thinking of this, Nero's mouth corners curled up slightly, and a bright smile slowly appeared on his cute face.

Chapter 108: Can it be solved by duel?

Yuan Qi didn't know that Nero was so poor that he couldn't even eat. He was currently fighting against the pursuit of the black magician tribe.

"I'll use Pudding Princess to attack Sonic Duck on your field, and then use Hot Pancake Owl to attack you directly!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

With a miserable scream, the duelist standing opposite Yuan Qi collapsed to the ground.

"Alder! Damn it! How dare you, you bastard..."

"I will use the black magician to attack you directly!" Noah said expressionlessly.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Along with the second miserable scream, another pursuer also fell to the ground.

"This is the nth wave... Aren't there too many duelists from your Black Magician Tribe?" Yuan Qi put away his duel disk and said helplessly as he looked at the two people lying on the ground.

"Even with these two, there are only eight of us. There are far more duelists in the tribe." Noah kicked a duelist lying on the ground and said calmly, "But for people like this, it doesn't matter how many more come."

"Ahem!" The man who was kicked coughed dryly twice, then glared at Noah fiercely and said, "Don't be so arrogant. Although my dueling skills are not as good as yours, if it's Master Sasha, you two can't be his opponent even if you attack him together! Just wait! Master Sasha will be here soon! Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and maybe I can even speak well of you in front of Master Sasha!"

"Snapped!"

Noah kicked him in the head cleanly and decisively. Although it was not known whether he was killed or not, he was definitely unconscious.

"That's what he said, what do you think?" Noah looked at Yuan Qidao.

"I don't know Sasha's deck and strength, so shouldn't you be the one to think about it?" Yuan Qi asked back. As a duelist from the former Black Magician tribe, Noah must know Sasha better than himself.

Noah glanced at Yuan Qi, then raised two fingers and said, "Sasha is about 1.5 times as strong as me."

"Then don't worry." Yuan Qi stretched out five fingers of his palm without hesitation and said, "I'm probably as strong as five of you."

"Haha, so narcissistic." Noah rolled his eyes playfully, but the worry in his heart slowly settled down.

The stronger Yuan Qi is, the safer she will be. Not to mention 5 of herself, Noah wishes Yuan Qi could beat 100 of herself.

"Let's keep going, there's still a long way to go." Yuan Qi urged.

"Are you not going to steal their decks?" Noah asked doubtfully.

"I don't have room in my waist for a deck anymore, and..." Yuan Qi glanced at Ai floating next to him and chuckled, "and their cards are useless to me."

Before, I stripped the deck just to prevent them from pestering me, but now that Sasha has come to catch up with me personally, there is no need to be so troublesome. As long as I defeat Sasha, the other people in the Black Magician Tribe will naturally calm down.

However, what Yuan Qi did not expect was that not long after they left, a staggering old man appeared at the place where he had dueled before.

"The power of duel is so strong that it's terrifying. If the victory is determined by the power of duel alone, I am definitely no match for that young man." The old man closed his eyes, feeling the residual power of duel in the air, and spoke slowly.

The middle-aged man standing nearby suddenly looked panicked after hearing this: "Master Sasha, should we continue chasing?"

"Chase, of course I have to." Sasha said slowly, "Although his dueling power is far superior to mine, according to the descriptions of the duelists of my clan who were defeated by him, the strength of his deck is only average."

"An... average level?!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but lose his voice. You know, according to the descriptions of the defeated duelists, all of the original seven monsters are extremely rare effect monsters, and most of the cards are in the same field. The linkage between cards is very strong. No matter attack or defense, they are at a level that normal duelists can't match, not to mention the black monster that is almost invincible. It can actually return two cards on the opponent's field to the deck... You call such a powerful deck average?

"Lord Sasha, forgive me for being blunt, but even if we combine the strongest cards of our entire tribe together, it is impossible to reach the strength of the deck in Yuan Qi's hand." The middle-aged man said with a wry smile.

"Haha, if we use the tribe's cards, it's indeed impossible, but I didn't say I wanted to use our tribe's deck." Sasha said, pulling out a stack of black cards from his pocket and handing it to the middle-aged man, "Take a look at this deck. How does it compare to Yuan Qi's?"

The middle-aged man took the deck from Sasha with a puzzled look on his face and began to examine it. However, as each card came into his view, his breathing began to quicken. "What...what exactly is this deck..."

"I told you," Sasha said with a mysterious smile, "everything is the will of the God of Duel."

“Ahhh!”

Ai, who was floating in the air, sneezed.

"What's wrong? Could you have caught a cold?" Yuan Qi had just finished speaking when he felt that he had asked a stupid question. How could Ai, as a spirit, catch a cold?

"I don't know. Maybe someone's praying to me behind my back," Ai said helplessly, spreading his hands. "After all, I'm the God of Duels. As the only legitimate god in the world, I receive countless prayers every day. Most of them just use me as a wish-granting machine."

"Speaking of the wishing machine... I'm asking, if I become the Duel King, can I make any wish?" Hara Nana asked suddenly.

"Theoretically, it's possible... I'm saying, you're not going to regret it now, are you?" Ai looked at Yuan Qidao suspiciously, "We can only make one wish, and that is to sever the connection between the Duel Force and this world."

"No, I'm just curious about the limits of what you can wish for," Hara Nana said slowly. "For example... is it possible to make everyone in the world lose their memory? Or perhaps erase all traces of a certain object from the world?"

"It's possible...but what's the point?" Ai tilted her head and looked at Yuan Qi in confusion.

"Of course, for example..."

"arrive."

Just as Yuan Qi was about to explain to Ai, Noah spoke up.

She pointed to the village in front of her and said, "After passing through the village ahead, you can see the sea. Deep in the sea is the place of origin."

"There is actually a village here." Yuan Qi said in surprise as he looked at the lights in the distance.

"Before the festival begins every year, many people gather here waiting for the opening of the original land. So some people started to think about making money. They built a village on the seaside and provided drinks and rest rooms for people who came to the festival. More importantly, they also provided boats to facilitate other tribes to go to the original land." Noah explained.

"Provide a boat?" Yuan Qi's eyes lit up, and he said to Noah, "Then we can take a boat to the top of the starting point first, and then take a boat back. This way it will be much easier."

"Yes, I think so too, but..." Noah said, holding out his hand to Yuan Qi, "Do you have money?"

Yuan Qi touched his empty pockets and smiled awkwardly: "Uh, can this be solved by a duel?"

I finally gave up. This morning, I woke up with a stuffy nose, dizziness, and a sore throat. I wondered if I had tested positive, so I went to three pharmacies, but they didn't have any medicine, thermometers, or antigen test strips. Finally, a pharmacy lady took pity on me and gave me 12 of her treasured ibuprofen. Thank you so much for your generosity...

ps: In order to confirm that I really have a fever, I went to the clinic and queued up to have my temperature taken. Now it is 38.8...

Chapter 109: Duel!

"Want to rent a boat?"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Yuan Qi and Noah came to this small village by the sea, knocked on a wooden door, and told the villagers their intentions.

"It's not time for the Origin Land to rise yet. What do you want to do by renting a boat?" A middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes looked at the two men suspiciously.

"Um... this... night fishing. The two of us want to go fishing by boat at night." Yuan Qi replied, his black eyes glancing slightly into the distance.
