Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City.

It is worth mentioning that there is actually a lot that can be done in the duel disk area.

If the big capitalist Yu Zero is allowed to sit in Seto Kaiba's current position as a developer.

He would secretly ask the Duel Disk R&D department to make some small modifications to the mass-produced Duel Discs to add a certain degree of durability to the Duel Discs.

Once this durability reaches the upper limit due to various factors, the duel plate will break with a "click" and a strike will be declared on the spot.

It just so happens that the duelists in this world like to yell and open and close when playing cards. They tend to get carried away when playing cards, and if they are not careful, they will slap the dueling plate with the cards vigorously.

If someone accidentally smashes the duel plate to pieces, then won't this new business naturally come to your doorstep?

In order to avoid the embarrassing situation where the duel disk is damaged and the duel cannot be carried out during the duel, the duelists will also carry more than one spare duel disk with them.

After expanding this scope to the whole world, the market industry of Duel Disk will also be doubled!

This profit is not small.

It's just that the honest man Kaiba didn't think of this.

In addition, you can also learn from those mobile phone manufacturers.

A large-scale product launch is held every few months, and duel plates are divided into "regular edition", "limited edition", "deluxe edition", "PLUS edition", "co-branded collector's edition" and other types.

Let the duel disk be updated frequently based on the original version.

In each update, some small functions that seem useful but are actually useless can be added to the duel board.

For example, by pressing a certain button, you can save a screenshot of the current duel.

Summoning the trump card monster will automatically play the BGM. When the duel monster appears, the duel plate will light up with colorful lights...

Following this set of procedures, although Kaiba's wealth still cannot surpass that of You Ling, it is more than enough to be the second child behind him.

But, as I said before.

Kaiba's personality is not meant for such a thing.

To put it nicely, this is called "principle and persistence."

To put it harshly, it means that you are stubborn and do not know how to adapt.

Anyway, under Kaiba's supervision.

The mass-produced duel disk developed by Haima Group is not only strong and durable, but also comes with all complete duel functions. It has absolutely no fancy embellishments, and what stands out is its simplicity.

As for the current Kaiba, the most acceptable function is probably to change the color of the duel plate and add some monster paint.

"Hmph...what kind of nonsense is this?"

He shook his head and got rid of all the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Kaiba looked at the invitation in his hand with a thoughtful expression.

According to Kaiba's original plan.

After defeating Dazi, he originally planned to hold a large-scale competition called the "KC Cup" to enhance the overall popularity of Haima Group and even Haima Paradise.

Unlike You Ling's current online official competition, Kaiba's focus is more on offline.

While selling tickets to Kaiba Paradise, he can also find a reason to gather all the duelists he likes together, and then pull off a gimmick in which the winner has a chance to challenge the "Duel King".

but.

Since Yu Ling now has a more interesting online competition, and the ideas overlap with Kaiba's, there is no need for him to go out for the "KC Cup".

If Yu Rei's game was won by Kaiba Seto.

Wouldn't it be very honorable to tell it?

While winning, wouldn't Kaiba be able to announce to everyone in the world that he is the only one worthy of being called Yu Zero's unique nemesis?

When he thought of this, Kaiba narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but let out a signature cold snort from his mouth.

Hum…oh Moses Roy (interesting)!

In this game, count me, Seto Kaiba.

It just so happens that I can take advantage of this opportunity to build up the Haima Group's brand name.

what?

What should I do if I lose, you ask?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The most powerful Blue Eyes after evolution is absolutely invincible!

Even against the duel king Yu Ling, he still has enough power to fight!

Probably... there is, right?

……

"So, who would be a better choice to represent Paradis Company? Why don't you just join?"

Looking at the bodyguard standing next to him - the former mercenary 'Cobra', You Ling touched his chin and gave his opinion to this strong man like an iron tower.

Since it was a promotional competition, there was no need for You Ling to participate.

While leaving a chance for others, Yu, as the mastermind behind the scenes, can also observe the growth of the duelists.

While saying this to Cobra, You Ling also took out a mysterious deck of cards from his desk.

This deck is the latest achievement of the card research and development department. The content is kept secret for the time being. In short, it is a deck related to Link Summoning.

"Yes, BOSS, it's my pleasure!"

After receiving the card deck from You Ling, Cobra put his fingers on top of the card deck and showed a confident smile.

With his strength, even the "Snake Venom" deck, which is extremely "salty" in reality, can still exert a very high level of strength in duels.

Not to mention the occasion when using this new deck.

It's different from any deck before.

The deck currently in Cobra's hands, even one of the most advanced duel AIs in LINK VRAINS - "I'm so handsome", can't make any waves in front of this deck.

In some cases, the AI ​​​​will be beaten randomly before it is even deployed, and it will not be able to exert its full strength at all.

Holding the card deck in his hand, Cobra felt a huge sense of confidence in his heart.

In this first online competition, the championship is almost in the possession of Paradis Company, and there is absolutely no chance of any accidents happening in the middle!

"By the way, Cobra, your highest priority task is not winning, but something else. I believe you don't need me to say it again, right?"

"Of course, BOSS! My mission is to show others the new master rules and the new connection summons. Of course I understand this!"

Hearing Cobra's reply, You Ling nodded with satisfaction.

In his eyes, there was an unknown mysterious light shining.

The previous stories have always been about You Ling wandering into the scripts written by Xia Di and others, unable to break out of the established framework. And next, it will be his turn to become a "chess player" and arrange for others to follow someone else's script.

……

"Damn Kaiba! This time I will make you pay the price and make you look embarrassed in front of the whole world! Wash your neck and wait!"

Siegfried, who had suffered defeat at the hands of You Ling and was forced to change from a boss to a high-level wage earner, vented his anger on the human-machine AI in front of him.

Imagining that his opponent was the seahorse who needed a beating, Siegfried summoned all kinds of Valkyrie monsters without mercy, and beat the man and machine crazily.

Say something.

With the performance of the pink-haired young master Siegfried, it is naturally impossible for him to be attracted by You Ling, and there is no reason for him to receive the invitation letter sent by You Ling himself.

However, as a young master, Siegfried had money, at least much more than the average person.

So he chose to save the country by taking a curveball and bought VR glasses for the competition from a duelist who was qualified to be invited by You Zero at a high price.

In this way, Siegfried also qualified to participate in this online competition.

This time, there were a total of 12 VR glasses sent out by You Ling along with the invitation letter.

Most of the recipients are wealthy people whose assets are not inferior to Siegfried's.

After all, in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, things like Duel Monsters were previously expensive items that only rich people could play with.

Behind those famous duelists is a reputation built with a lot of money.

It is only in the recent period that this unhealthy trend has gotten better.

Thanks to the popularization actions of Paradis Company, a large number of ordinary people have the opportunity to come into contact with powerful cards.

In short, Siegfried was fully prepared for this rare opportunity to appear around the world.

Next, all you need to do is wait patiently for the duel to begin.

……

the other side.

Paradis Corporation, Conference Room.

"Good morning, Mr. President."

"I'm sorry, I was busy in a meeting when you came just now, so I kept you waiting a little longer. I hope you won't be disrespectful."

Although he said apologetic words, the expression on You Ling's face and the tone of his words seemed very perfunctory.

Facing the unsolicited visit from the current president of the beautiful country, the big capitalist You Ling didn't even bother to show a formulaic smile, and just crossed his legs towards the president with an arrogant look.

That posture almost had the words "I'm very busy now, so hurry up and let go!" were written on his face.

You Ling's attitude could not be described as arrogant.

That obviously impatient tone even made the president opposite him subconsciously have a strong illusion.

It was as if You Ling was the president, and he was the one being accused.

"Ah...that's it..."

He shook his head and tried to expel as many distracting thoughts from his mind as possible.

The middle-aged white man who was the president of the beautiful country at the time, with 120% energy in his heart, carefully dealt with the absolute ruler of Paradis Company sitting opposite.

Although in front of ordinary people, this white man can spit arrogantly.

But facing the real behemoth, the true "emperor" of the beautiful country - You Ling, even he has no courage at all, and can only adopt this eunuch-like submissive posture.

There is no way, You Ling is too scary.

To put it bluntly, even he, the nominal president, was specially chosen by You Ling to be used as a mediocre tool man.

If it weren't for the fact that You Ling had little interest in politics and didn't want to waste time on meaningless and complicated matters, then maybe the current president of the beautiful country should change his surname to You.

"That...the defense department hopes that Paradis can disclose the source code of LINK VRAINS and accept the supervision of the national information and security department...

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also hopes to vigorously promote our country's ideas of freedom and equality in this new virtual world..."

"Mr. President, are you awake?"

Not interested in listening to the nonsense of the middle-aged man opposite, You Ling waved his hand unceremoniously to interrupt his speech.

Staring with calm eyes at the president opposite who suddenly stopped moving and gradually began to sweat profusely, You Ling said in a thoughtful tone: "Have you forgotten how your predecessor did? He stepped down? How did he disappear from this world without a trace?"

After saying these words, You Ling crossed his fingers with his hands, supported his chin on the table, and assumed the classic posture of "Commander Ikari".

From You Ling's face, the president could only see an expression of neither joy nor sadness, but could not tell the depth of it.

"Uh... is it because a shocking scandal was exposed by the media? Not only did he gather people to take drugs, but he also secretly carried out some unfaithful 'Lori Island' plan?"

After hearing You Ling's question, the president thought for a moment and respectfully gave a standard answer.

To be honest, if the mistakes made by my ex were not so shocking and made him famous all over the country and even the world, even the children in the kindergarten would know that such a pervert existed.

Then it probably won't be his turn as the new president to take office.

"Think again."

There was no affirmation or denial, You Ling just said calmly.

"Huh? If it wasn't because of my own fault... then it was because I failed to silence the media before the incident was exposed, which led to the leakage of the incident and the intensification of the incident?

Or was it because the follow-up affairs were improperly handled and the public was not given a satisfactory answer, thus arousing strong public outrage? "

In a tentative tone, the president gave another answer of his own from another perspective.

Although it is winter at the end of the year, there is plenty of heating indoors.

But in this warm environment, the president, who was under tremendous pressure, kept taking out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Think again."

"Ah...could it be that he was playing alone secretly without calling the financial backers who were supporting him, so he was punished for it?"

"Or is it just because you betrayed your class and tried to gain benefits for those damn untouchables in exchange for votes for re-election?" (End of Chapter)
