Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Link system?"

Yu Xuan and Kei Ping asked as they walked side by side in the long corridor.

"Yes." Keppei said, "Actually, we have been developing related things a few years ago. At that time, my brother developed a new type of duel disk that can link the quantum intelligence of card data with the memory area of ​​the brain.

All duel information is converted into images in the brain and visualized in space."

"I think I've heard of this."

You Xuan reacted quickly.

It is the kind of duel disk developed by Kaiba in the theatrical version of "Dark Side of Dimension". It is a product that combines technology and idealism. It can digitize cards and link them with people's memories. It can also increase the duelist's self-awareness. It is even possible to print cards from memory data images under certain circumstances.

The famous scene of "drawing cards on the floor" in the movie version of The President relied on the power of this system. In a desperate situation, Kaiba pulled out the "Obelisk's Titan Soldier" from the floor that should have long ago ceased to exist in this world, shocking Blue God for a whole year.

"But that development was really just the beginning of a larger project that is now finally being completed."

At this time, Keihei had led Yu Xuan to another laboratory. Immediately after he entered the door, someone handed over a duel plate and a device similar to a headset, and Keppei handed it to Yu Xuan.

"This is the key to the new world."

Some kind of light blue duel disk with a full sense of technology, with fine lines carved on the edge, surrounded by a circle of transparent displays and indicator lights.

Keppei had already put on a duel plate and headset, and gave him a mysterious smile: "You'll know after you start it up and take a look."

As he said that, he had already started the device first.

So You Xuan also started the system in the same way. The duel disk indicator lights lit up one after another, and a slight buzz came from the headset. Immediately afterwards, he seemed to see a stream of data rolling past his eyes, like a blue seawater composed of countless 0s and 1s, quickly occupying the entire field of vision until all the surrounding scenes were swallowed up.

When he came to his senses, he looked around and found that he was already standing on an unfamiliar street.

This is an unknown city.

The skyline is strewn with strange tall buildings that look like something from a science fiction movie, like giant towers piercing the sky. But it is not a structure of concrete and glass, but a structure that displays strange colors and textures as the light changes, making the entire city look like a huge gem.

You Xuan was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at his body.

Vision, touch, and various senses are completely as if they were in reality.

But some instinct told him that this was a false world.

"Shocking, right?"

Keppei appeared next to him and said with a smile.

"Because it has not yet been developed and is just a test model, we use real-life images. Otherwise, you can choose to log in with any virtual image."

"A completely immersive online game?" You Xuan asked.

"Well, it's not the same as what you see in fantasy works, but judging from the results, you can understand it that way."

Keppei thought for a moment.

"In fact, the prototype of this technology existed many years ago, even before my brother and I took over the company. Our adoptive father Gozaburo Kaiba developed quite mature technology at that time."

You Xuan realized what he was referring to.

That is what was explained in the Naia chapter in the DM animation.

Gozaburo Kaiba's biological son Naia Kaiba died in a car accident. Gozaburo downloaded Naia's consciousness data into the supercomputer used by Kaiba Company for military operations. As a result, that consciousness gradually grew and evolved into a highly intelligent AI, and as it grew over the years, a very large virtual world was created.

In the Nano chapter of the anime, he unknowingly dragged Yugi and Kaiba and his group into the virtual world he created, but at the end of the Nano chapter, that data space was also destroyed.

However, the technology must have been retained by President Kaiba.

It was on that basis that they developed this "link system". A similar huge virtual world space is like a huge open world online game. According to the president's vision, duelists from all over the world can log in to this game and compete online.

Yu Xuan naturally thought of Yu-Gi-Oh's sixth game "Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains". Although that work is a parallel world, the world view looks like the distant future.

That work was also the first time in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh that the main stage was placed in an online game called "Link VRAINS", in which almost all duels were played online in the online game.

Judging from the current description, the system that President Kaiba is developing should have something to do with that thing in the future, right?

You Xuan also tried to call for silence. Only a moment later, the silver-haired mage floated out of the deck on his duel plate in his spiritual form, tilting his head.

what?

"Oh, it's okay, just call me and play." You Xuan smiled.

silence:"."

Of course he didn't really just bark for fun. This convinced him that although his current state was that his consciousness was projected into the data world, the power of the elves still applied here, and the attributes of the destiny power should be the same.

But this is also predictable. Extraordinary power is metaphysics, and it also applies to the data space. This has actually been proven in DM.

In the original work, the AI ​​Naia tried to occupy the game's body in the virtual space by virtue of its authority, but was counterattacked by the magical power of the Millennium Building Blocks.

"Awesome, right?"

Keppei said proudly.

"It's still a prototype, and only testers can log in. But we will improve the facilities as soon as possible, so that duelists from all over the world don't need to be restricted by geography and can happily duel no matter where they are.

Didn’t brother invite you to participate in the ‘Duel City GX’ competition before? In fact, we are planning to hold this competition online in the link system, and also serve as the opening ceremony of the link system."

He stopped suddenly.

He received a contact from outside Haima Company technical staff.

"Illegal login? Here?" Keppei was surprised, "But the link system hasn't even been officially opened yet."

He immediately thought of something.

"Is it the same hacker from last time?"

"I don't know, sir." The technician said, "But we found that there is an abnormal data space in the linked system. We are trying to clear it."

"No, send me the coordinates first." Keiping interrupted, "I want to go and see for myself."

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the coordinates from the headquarters, Keppei snapped his fingers. Then the scene around the two people quickly began to distort, and everything was spinning.

In just a blink of an eye, their coordinates changed and they moved to another corner of the virtual map.

That was part of Keppei's GM authority, and he could teleport between any coordinates on the map at will.

Where the two landed after teleportation, they faced only a gloomy old castle. It was completely different from the sci-fi and futuristic buildings just now. The outer walls of the castle were mottled, and the eerie giant shadow was stretched very long, like a huge monster quietly lurking in the darkness.

Keihei frowned: "It's strange, we haven't designed such an area."

"of course."

A voice emerged from the shadows.

A man in black clothes and sunglasses walked out slowly and smiled.

"Because it was designed by our master, just in the shadow of your glamorous virtual world."

"Are you the hackers who invaded our company?" Keppei said solemnly, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man chuckled, and instead of answering directly, he said instead.

"Now that you have discovered it, whether you want to drive us out of the link system or delete our shadow stronghold, it should be a simple task for Haima Company.

But if you do this, you won't be able to get the answers to the questions you want to know, right? "

"Oh?" Keppei crossed his arms and smiled, "I smell the conditions. So what do you want?"

"It's very simple, just use the rules that President Seto Kaiba most admires and are the only rules in this 'link system' to decide."

The man showed his duel plate and card deck.

"Let's duel. If you win, we will naturally give you the answers to any questions you need."
