I'm playing cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yu Yu recognized it at a glance. The blond boy who walked through the door was none other than Jonouchi Katsuya, one of the protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh DM.

The DM protagonist group is full of character in all the later Yu-Gi-Oh works. Even the mortal Jonouchi was later highly praised by the founder of the game Becas, who is known as the "Father of Duel Monsters", and became the Duel of later generations. A legend among readers.

It was obvious that those who came in right behind Jonouchi were his inseparable friends.

Muto Yugi, Masaki Kyoko and Honda Hiroshi - especially Muto Yugi, that starfish head that is as unique as a Super Saiyan is absolutely unmistakable.

However, Yu Yu remembered that in the animation, they seemed to go to a card store run by a rare card hunter to buy duel disks, and in the animation, the release of Kaiba Company's new duel disk seemed to have only started a week before the opening of Duel City, and There are still three weeks until the game...

...but after all, this is a connected world, and it is normal for there to be slight differences from the development of animation.

"Ah, welcome." Qianna returned behind the counter, "We also have duelist plates in our store. According to Kaiba Company's requirements, the levels representing the strength of all duelists have been sent to our computer. Level 5 and above Duelists can receive free new duel disks and qualifications for the duel competition.”

"Eh?" Yugi showed a surprised expression, "Kaiba, he...ah, I understand. In this way, we can effectively ensure the level of duelists participating in the competition."

"Then can you tell me your names?" Qian Nai asked.

"My name is Muto Yugi."

"Muto... Yugi..."

China muttered while typing into the big-ass desktop computer on the counter. Suddenly she stopped and raised her head with a somewhat surprised expression: "Are you Muto Yugi...the Duel King?"

Yugi won the championship in the Duel Kingdom competition not long ago, and defeated Becas, the founder of Duel Monsters Game, in the duel, and was recognized by Becas as the World Duel King. This fact is almost unknown to everyone. No one knows.

"Um...well, it's me." Yugi lowered his head, still a little embarrassed.

According to the ranking system of Kaiba Company duelists, the highest level seems to be 8. If I remember correctly, You Yu remembers that in the original animation, Haima rated the game at level 8...

"Huh?" Qian Nai seemed a little surprised after calling up the duelist information on the computer.

"What's wrong?" Yugi leaned on the counter curiously, leaning forward to see what was on the screen.

"Well... it stands to reason that the upper limit of a duelist's level should be only level 8..."

Qian Nai turned the computer screen around helplessly to show them.

What was displayed on the screen was Muto Yugi's name, next to his ID photo with a thousand-year building block hanging on it. The ace monster message on the left is the famous "Black Magician", and the duelist level given below...

...is level 10.

"That's awesome!" Jonouchi began to rub Yugi's starfish head excitedly, "Because he is the Duel King, right? So Yugi's level is unique! Ha, that guy Kaiba understands it quite well!"

Qian Na nodded: "It seems that there is only one tenth-level duelist, Yugi Muto..."

You Yu was speechless. He seemed to see President Kaiba folding his arms and laughing, saying something like "This is the only way to be worthy of my old enemy, Seto Kaiba"...

China-chan didn't say anything, but she looked at Yugi's ID photo on the screen with sharp eyes and a domineering air, and then looked at the person in front of her who was being rubbed on the head by Jonouchi and looked harmless. ...

...There is always a feeling that "the picture does not match the actual thing".

It seemed a little different from the Duel King in her impression.

Of course it's just a thought.

At this moment, You Yu had already taken a brand new box of duel disks from the warehouse at the back at her signal and handed it to Yu Yu. Yugi happily took the box and bowed politely: "Thank you!"

"What about me?" Jonouchi squeezed forward impatiently, "My name is Jonouchi Katsuya, and I am the runner-up of the Duel Kingdom!"

"OK, just a second."

Qian Na entered the name seriously, and then said a strange "Huh", just as surprised as when she checked the level of the game.

Jonouchi's eyes lit up: "What's wrong? Am I also at level 10 like the game? Oh, that brat Kaiba may seem annoying on the surface, but actually he still has merit..."

"Hey, um..." Qianna looked at the screen and then at Jonouchi, as if she didn't know how to speak.

You Yu walked up and coughed: "About this...you seem to be only level two, and the note at the back...says 'mortal bones'."

Jonouchi's expression was dull and he blinked. His brain probably stayed in this state for more than five seconds.

"...Ha!?? Mortal...mortal bones???"

Jonouchi's hair instantly exploded, and he looked like he was desperately trying to find Kaiba.

"That bastard Kaiba, what does Mortal Bone mean? Why can't I, the runner-up of the Duel Kingdom, participate in the competition???"

Honda held on from behind: "Okay Jonouchi, calm down, you scared the lady behind the counter..."

"Hmm... But it's really strange." Qianna held her chin and said to herself, "Jounuchi Katsuya... I remember that it seems that he should be the runner-up of Duel Kingdom. Only two stars is a bit... strangeness......"

"Yes...right!"

Jonouchi seemed to see Nozomi excitedly leaning over from the counter, which scared Qian Nai and subconsciously took a step back.

"But...but this is Kaiba Company's rule. Even if you say so, there is nothing we can do."

"Damn it..." Jonouchi continued to grit his teeth.

At this moment, You Yu, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up: "But it's not that there is no other way."

"Ah? What?"

"Duel me." You Yu smiled and said, "If you beat me, we can turn a blind eye and let you pay to buy back the new duel disk."

According to Kaiba Company's current regulations, duel disks are not for sale until the Duel City Competition, and only recognized duelists can receive them for free. Because this is not only a prop for playing cards, but also a ticket to participate in the competition.

But it doesn't matter if you just sell one.

The reason why You Yu said this was of course not because he was addicted to poker and wanted to find someone to rub it against, but because...

...This is a living experience!

Jonouchi Katsuya is already a legendary duelist in DM (although not yet). If you win a game of cards with him, the experience gained can be compared to spending more than half of it with the trash fish in the duel venue. Week.

Moreover, playing cards with the characters in the protagonist group can also help trigger special tasks, and you can even hope to participate in the main storyline of Yu-Gi-Oh! In the Linked World, there are always a bunch of players circling around the protagonist group.

It's just that the opportunity to play cards with the protagonists is rare. The system does not allow players to go directly to the protagonists of the original work and catch them playing cards. Only by meeting specific conditions in specific situations can they get the chance to duel with the protagonists.

Qian Nai turned to look at You Yu in surprise: "Are you okay?"

Although she didn't mean to question Yu Yu's skills, after all, Jounouchi was the runner-up in the Duel Kingdom, and logically should be the duelist second only to Yugi.

"It's okay." You Yu smiled at her, "Don't look at me like this, I'm very strong."
