Chapter 127 Duel Speedboat, Take Off!
From all aspects of the Duel City game, we can see the wealth of the Kaiba Group and their huge influence in this country.
After all, not just any group or group has the ability to stop the normal operation of an entire city and make every street in the city give way to playing cards.
I am afraid that only President Kaiba can play cards to this level and scale in the world.
From this, we can also see that President Kaiba is very committed to the card game project. For him, dueling is not just entertainment and enjoyment, but also the meaning of his life and the direction of his ultimate goal.
He used dueling to deny everything of his adoptive father Kaiba Gosaburo, and tried his best to transform Kaiba Group, a large arms manufacturing company, into his own chess and card game company. Therefore, dueling is also equivalent to the direction of his life for him, representing the new path he chose after surpassing Gosaburo.
When Kaiba Gosaburo was alive, he expressed disdain for Kaiba's ambition more than once. The old man insisted that playing cards and the like were children's games, and the ambition of a real man should be in the sea of stars.
He thinks that Kaiba is not doing his job if he is addicted to chess and cards all day long. He should use his talents more in the military, build a Gundam or something to conquer the world.
However, in fact, Gosaburo is really wrong. In this world, it is not doing his job to build a Gundam without playing good cards.
Weapons and other things are just for fun. If you really want to conquer the world, you really have to play cards.
In fact, from the various subsequent works after the completion of DM, Kaiba's virtual imaging technology seems to have a trend of covering the world. It is estimated that it will not be long before any corner of most countries in the world is directly connected to Kaiba's server.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Kaiba vigorously develops the space industry to make cards, and makes cards by carrying cards into rockets to the depths of the universe. Yuki Judai's famous trump card, the elemental hero Xinyuxia, was born in this way.
In the dark side of the dimension, Tong Shiye City is required by the Kaiba Group to not even register those who do not play cards.
Later in the timeline, when it comes to the era of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS, people even developed perpetual motion machines through playing cards, which is impossible according to the inherent cognition. The whole earth has entered an era led by perpetual motion machines, and Duel Monsters, which are closely related to the operation of perpetual motion machines, have become the main theme of the world...
.....In a way, Kaiba may have really fulfilled Gosaburo's expectations.
Kaiba Company really conquered the world...but in another way.
The duel boat carrying eight contestants and their relatives and friends set off.
The sumptuous meal in the hall soon made the contestants led by Jonouchi feel that this trip was worthwhile.
The God of Gamblers who entered the hall quickly entered the gluttony mode. After confirming with the waiter that the dishes in the room were all given out by the generous president for free to reward the hard-working contestants, Jonouchi immediately started to eat without hesitation.
Kaiba walked up to him with his arms folded and snorted, "Ordinary bones are ordinary bones. As expected, the heads of idiots are empty. You can only be so carefree and optimistic before the game. You can't imagine what kind of cruel battle you will face."
"What!?"
Jounouchi, who has always been at odds with Kaiba, was immediately furious. He was so angry that he picked up the chicken leg in his hand and was ready to beat him... But then he thought that the chicken leg in his hand was strictly speaking someone else's, and as the saying goes, you should be grateful to someone who eats your own food, so Jonouchi pouted and made a "disdainful" look, ignoring Kaiba.
However, in fact, Jonouchi was not the only one who started fighting without saying a word as soon as he entered the door.
Youyu didn't bother to be polite with the president at this time, and took a plate of pasta and started eating.
It was originally given by the president for free, so it would be a waste not to eat it!
He had played cards all day and hadn't eaten dinner yet. He couldn't fight with the group of gods above on an empty stomach.
The semi-finals would not be as easy as the preliminary rounds, and Youyu was mentally prepared for this.
Although most duelists in the DM era used decks, most of those who entered the quarterfinals were duelists of level 8 or above, and some of them were already "outside the human world" level bosses.
Playing cards with these people cannot be understood by common sense. Youyu didn't think he could win against any of them...
...Then he glanced at Xuelang, who was waving a knife and fork to attack a large Australian lobster.
...Well, maybe this guy is the exception.
At this moment, Kaiba came to Youyu's side.
The president still crossed his arms and looked cool, and snorted and laughed: "Hmph, you are worthy of it. You can still eat slowly at this time. Are you confident?"
Not far away, Jonouchi, who had just calmed down, got angry again.
Oh, Kaiba, what do you mean by this? Why am I stupid for eating, but others are confident when they eat? So double standards?
...Is it because I am not as handsome as him?
"It's useless to be nervous." You Yu shrugged and continued to eat noodles, "Why not eat something good first to adjust to the best state."
"Huh, I see."
Hai Ma put away his smile and his face became serious.
"Malik said before that the 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' is in your hands, right?"
You Yu did not deny it.
"If you didn't do that before, I advise you to do it now - put the God card in your deck." Kaiba said in a deep voice, "The next battle is not a decisive battle that can be won with a half-hearted attitude.
If I want to complete the unfinished duel with you last time, then I hope to see you go all out, otherwise it will be meaningless!"
You Yu: "..."
What? Why not play Sky Dragon?
Of course because it is a traitor and a card that is stuck!
Well, in fact, Sky Dragon is barely in his deck, but it is not the original version, but the real card rewarded by the system.
And the reason for putting this card is purely to get a taste of the "power" contained in this card. In this way, his duelist level can barely be raised to 5 stars, which can increase the bond with the deck and reduce the probability of being stuck.
I think this card rewarded by the system should only be able to borrow a small part of the power of the God, so the "power" it can borrow is also very limited.
But after speaking, the president did not wait for him to reply, and turned around and walked away.
Because Yugi came over now.
"Yugi!" Kaiba stopped Yugi who was passing by, "This duel will not only decide the title of Duel King, but also the end of our battle."
Yugi stopped and looked at him sideways: "Kaiba."
"I hope you can be prepared and respond in the best state." Kaiba said, "And I will defeat you and keep moving forward!"
You Yu watched with his eyes half closed.
It was clear that Kaiba had just said that he had a destined duel with him, but in this second, Yugi immediately forgot about himself when he saw Yugi. It always felt a bit subtle...
And the president said something about "the end of the battle", but You Yu didn't believe it at the moment.
You don't think that the president will never bother Yugi again after the fight today, right?
I don't know who was thinking about it a year later and traveled through space and ran all the way to the underworld to play cards with Wang Yang...
