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

Since the president invited him so sincerely, You Yu decided to give him a face and attend the competition for him to calm down the situation.

This is not entirely to give President Kaiba face, attending the competition is also beneficial to You Yu himself. For example, increase your exposure, maintain your reputation among players, advertise new decks, promote new card boxes that will be launched in private stores, etc...

...It’s not just to help that awkward guy Kaiba.

Well, that's right, that's it. Anyway, You Yu believed it himself.

Based on You Yu's experience in his previous life, this KC competition is different from the previous Duel City competition during the closed beta period.

Duel City's closed beta had just started at that time, and the players were all holding piles of mortal bone cards with no combat effectiveness.

As the saying goes, a wise woman can't make a fool of herself. Even the most experienced card players can't make tricks if they don't have cards in their hands.

In addition, all the NPCs in the top eight in Duel City are big bosses with strong backgrounds. Players can't get any benefit from them at all. It is extremely difficult to reach the top eight.

In the end, only a certain acrobatic European Emperor Xuelang, with an entertainment-oriented elemental hero, squeezed into the top eight...

But the game has been open for so long, especially after all players have gone through the main plot of Oliha Gang's chapter and received a large number of generous rewards. Some of the elite players at the forefront have already obtained cards with slightly more combat effectiveness. group, will certainly pose more threats.

In addition, as an original chapter of the animation, although the contestants in the KC Cup Grand Prix are said to be "powerful duelists" from all over the world, the quality of the contestants has actually declined visibly compared to Duel City.

All the contestants in the Duel City Quarterfinals will be called "legendary duelists" in later generations. In comparison, the KC Cup in the original game seems a bit like novices... ..

Under such a background, You Yu has no doubt that there will definitely be many elite players who can stand out, and it is not impossible for them to even be shortlisted for the finals.

Also speaking of the KC Cup, there is one more thing.

There must be a conspiracy in large-scale events. This is common sense that should be included in any animation work. But luckily for President Kaiba, You Yu already knew in advance who was causing trouble this time.

Since it was just a simple task, You Yu thought about it and decided that it would be better to eliminate this potential threat for the president before the competition started.

...

Deep in the jungle, there is a luxurious palace with luxurious bathtubs in the hall.

Uniformed, well-trained maids surrounded the place like soldiers on guard duty. A naked man with long pink hair was lying elegantly in the bathtub, holding a rose in his hand.

He stood up from the bathtub with a splash and opened his arms.

The beautiful maids quickly gathered around him, some holding towels to help him dry himself, some blowing his hair, and some holding clean clothes standing by.

In this situation, the pink-haired man had no distracting thoughts in his mind, and no physical reaction at all...

...even thinking about men.

"Seto Kaiba!"

The pink-haired man smiled evilly and sniffed the rose on his hand.

Those who don't know what's going on may think that he has some kind of bad relationship with President Kaiba...

His name is Jack Lloyd, whose real name is Chigufried von Schreider, and he is the chairman of the European Lloyd Entertainment Group.

The first time he and Kaiba met was when they were both very young. At that time, Jike attended a banquet hosted by Haima Company with his parents. At that time, the young Jike hacked into Haima Company's computer control program during a performance in front of little Haima, which made the young president admire him.

The original Lloyd Consortium was actually the same as the Haima Group, which also relied on arms. Both were world-renowned arms giants.

However, as the saying goes, peers are enemies. The Lloyd Consortium was maliciously suppressed by the Haima Group during its development, and in terms of weapons technology, they could not compete with the Haima Group, which was constantly emerging with black technologies. Until finally the chairman of the consortium and Jike's father died of overwork and illness, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Young Jike was appointed at the critical moment and took over the company's banner. He judged that in the arms industry, with the suppression of the Haima Group, it would be difficult for them to make a comeback in their lifetime, so he made a very bold decision with a wave of his hand——

——Our company will not sell arms from now on, but will switch to vigorously developing chess and card business!

In short, his policy is, if we can't afford to offend him, why can't we hide him?

They simply gave up the cake of the arms market and gave it to the Haima Group. They wanted to find another way out in the chess and card field.

Then just as Jike made a desperate move and invested everything that was left in the company into the recently emerging field of Duel Monsters, one day, earth-shattering news came to the board of directors.

"Report!!!"

An employee rushed in in a panic, like one of those little demons who spread the word "Monkey King is coming."

"President! The new president of Kaiba Group, Seto Kaiba, just announced at the press conference that they will no longer sell arms and will fully develop the duel monster business in the future!"

Jike was an old man at that time.

The labor-intensive arms field has been unable to survive before developing chess and card games. Are you, Seto Kaiba, enjoying the excitement of hammers?

Wouldn’t it be nice to sell your tanks and artillery well?

But even so, there is no turning back for Jike. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day, focusing on his work wholeheartedly, doing scientific research and development day and night...

...Then he was beaten by the president again.

Not only did Kaiba Corporation develop the stereoscopic projection system for Duel Monsters earlier than him, but it also surpassed his equipment by a huge margin in terms of performance, cost, and convenience.

Kaiba was the first to sign a contract with the International Fantasy Society, and their Lloyd Foundation once again lost money to their grandma's family...

It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this!

Thinking of this, Jike showed a cruel smile.

He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Haima Company has suffered continuous blows, and now is the most critical moment. The KC Cup is a way for Haima Group to come back to life. If this Grand Prix can be ruined and a major accident occurs, Haima Group will definitely be in ruins.

By then, the Lloyd Consortium may have another chance to take over and replace Kaiba Corporation as the giant in the duel monster world!

Jike has even prepared the script. First, he would disguise himself as an ordinary contestant and sneak into the competition, take the opportunity to hack into Kaiba Corporation's system, lure Seto Kaiba to come forward, defeat the opponent head-on in the duel field that the opponent is most proud of, and then let Kaiba Corporation's entire duel monster system Total server crash...

Just as he was thinking about it, a man ran in from outside the palace in a panic.

"Lo...Lord!" The butler looked panicked, "Your application to participate in the KC Cup was rejected by the organizer!"

"!"

Jike was taken aback.

got rejected?

How can it be?

There shouldn't be any reason for Seto Kaiba to remember his own, right?

No, even if Seto Kaiba remembers him, there should be no reason for him to know that he plans to cause trouble at the KC Cup?

Jike frowned, snorted, took the goblet handed over by the maid at the side, and took an elegant sip of red wine.

Although he didn't know how the plan leaked out, it seemed that he underestimated Seto Kaiba's vigilance.

But it doesn't matter, a truly good conspirator will always have a backup plan.

He also has a foolproof trump card, a real trump card.

That was his brother, Rainn Wilson.

Rainn Wilson was actually a pseudonym his younger brother made up for himself. The original purpose was to secretly go out to participate in various dueling competitions without telling the family, but his brother Zeke later saw through it.

Renn is not only a talented duelist whose dueling ability far exceeds that of Zeke, but he has also won championships in many major events under this pseudonym. He has become a well-known figure in the dueling world in recent years.

More importantly, no one knows that Renn's true identity is from their Lloyd family.

If his younger brother Renn is allowed to participate in the KC Cup, no one will doubt his identity. At that time, all he has to do is hand over the virus program to Renn and let Renn be his right-hand man, taking his place in the KC Cup and paralyzing the Haima Company system, and the result will be the same...

Then at this moment, another person was seen running in from outside the hall in a panic.

"Lo... Lord Lloyd!" the man shouted, "Young master's application to participate in the KC Cup... was also rejected by the organizer!"

Jike spurted out a mouthful of red wine on the spot, and the scene looked a bit like a mouthful of old blood.

"What!?" Jike was shocked.

Ren was also rejected?

It doesn’t make sense!

Could it be that Seto Kaiba was watching the sky at night and predicted that I was going to cause trouble?
