Chapter 8 - First Duel (Part 3)
"Dad!"
Chen Xinxin's temper flared up and her tone became a little higher.
"Your daughter has just been beaten like that, and you're still being harsh to me like this!?"
"Someone taught you a lesson in my stead. I can't thank them enough for it.", Chen Wencheng said leisurely, copying Luo Bai'd duelist ID———–
Then, writing a note by the side, he sent out a friend request.
[DING!]
On the other side, Luo Bai was fine-tuning his deck and preparing to head towards the Ranked Duels, when a ding from the system resounded and a friend-adding prompt popped up in the upper right corner of the screen.
"Hm?"
He literally knows no one here.
Looking at the profile picture, it should be that girl from the previous game, but Luo Bai wonders why his username sounded so masculine.
Besides, with her beaten to tears, why is she adding him as friends?
Seeking revenge?
Or just one of those masochists?
Was he just that handsome that he brings out your inner M?
There's also the attached note: "I want to play 2 more games with you."
It was a request for more matches, worded in a very polite way.
Luo Bai didn't think much though and just accepted the friend request.
Even if he has just traveled through another world and isn't familiar with the place, he doesn't mind having too many "friends".
[Senior, would it be convenient to play 2 more rounds?]
After accepting the friend request, a message came quickly from the other side.
"Alright. You make us a room."
Looking at the time, Luo Bai replied.
[OK.]
It's also common for duelists to get carried away when playing cards, but even Luo Bai couldn't understand what the other party meant by calling him "Senior".
While waiting for the other party to open a room, Luo Bai opened his deck list and wanted to play some other decks.
His fingertips flicked between his frequently used decks, fiddling between
"I choose you!"
Luo Bai's eyes flashed with light.
He resolutely picked the waifu deck, Exosister!
[DING!]
[
A prompt pops up on the computer interface, indicating that the room has been created.
After entering the room, the room showed more than a dozen IDs, all with the prefix
Are they all just spectators?
On the other side, Chen Wencheng invited the entire fortress team into the room and arranged for Zhou Gu to come to the table to play this round.
Zhou Gu is a serious member of the Level 6 Fortress, and he's also reached Duel King in online battles. His level is much higher than that of Chen Xinxin, who is Platinum.
After Luo Bai confirmed that the deck he was using was the correct one, he also sat at the first table.
Thereupon, he truthfully sent out a message.
"I'm a newbie. Please teach me."
It's better to keep a low profile as a person.
He can't offend the local boss, he has to maintain a good reputation.
"Captain, he's mocking us!" A trace of anger flashed across Zhou Gu's face.
"By posting that, isn't he kinda insinuating that we can't even defeat a newbie!?"
"Stop the nonsense and get to the table quickly." Chen Wencheng ignored his complaints.
"Be nice and try to make a good impression."
"Anyone who can take out two Epic Cards are people of magnanimity and integrity. They have no time to make sarcastic remarks."
In order to prevent the "Senior" from misunderstanding that they were deceiving him, Chen Xinxin was specially made to wear the VR helmet to maintain the image that Luo Bai is fighting the same duelist as before. In fact, Zhou Gu would be using an external keyboard and mouse to perform the dueling operations.
After everything was ready, the two of them pressed
[DUEL START!]
[FIRST TURN: BLUE SIDE!]
A line of words displayed in the void above. The current number of spectators: 17.
"What good luck, I finally got the first turn.", Luo Bai felt happy in his heart.
In duels, going first always has a significant advantage, that is unless you're one of those guys who use Numerons.
(T/N: I don't understand the latter part of the sentence, with the original more along the lines of "We have to wait until Duel King Sky Ladder
"My turn."
"Standby, Main."
Luo Bai glanced at his starting hand.
"Not bad!"
If a perfect score's 100, this starting hand gets a score of 80.
"I activate the effect of
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party pressed the
"Umm???"
Luo Bai was stunned, questions popping over his head.
"I just started playing cards and you're already pausing?"
"Thinking deeply about whether you wanna use Ash?"
A game can only be paused once, with each player allowed a maximum of 5 minutes each time.
On the other side though, what Luo Bai didn't expect was that the Cangyuange discussion group was already in an uproar.
"D*mn it, I'm seeing it right, right?"
"I used a magnifying glass to check, it really is Exosister."
"Isn't that the deck of "Chairman's" daughter?"
"Wait, does that mean he's actually fighting Miss Shu Yu'er?"
"A woman disguised as a man?"
"In disguise looking for private matches?"
......
Vice-Captain Zhuo Jitong quickly turned to Chen Wencheng and said with a gloomy face: "Old Chen, what's going on?"
Zhou Gu also turned his head to look at his Captain in confusion, stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"The other side wasn't using this deck before." Chen Wencheng frowned, a trace of doubt in his eyes. He couldn't help turning his head slightly, grabbing the keyboard and mouse, trying to find any clues through the opponent's information and duel behavior.
"Yue'er isn't someone who would use a smurf account." Chen Xinxin also frowned.
Her grandfather, who is also Chen Wencheng's father, is a "Director" of the "Company". She usually gets along well with Shu Yu'er and has become very close friends with her.
Miss Shu isn't as lively as her.
She's a well-behaved intellectual, usually a very quiet girl. She just likes to visit haunted houses and "exorcises ghosts".
As for the possibility of two duelists both using
For Biantana people, such a thought generally doesn't cross their minds.
In most cases, a
Unless it's a
"Ahh———- Could it be!?"
Chen Xinxin seemed to think of some terrible possibility and screamed.
"What is it?"
Everyone gave her doubtful looks.
"D- Dad, say..." Chen Xinxin shoulders shook, and she herself even seemed a bit afraid of what she will say next.
"That guy, could he be... Yu'er's boyfriend?"
As soon as those words fell, everyone fell silent.
Yes, for a deck as expensive as
Shu Yu'er doesn't seem like someone who uses a smurf either.
In that case, there was only one possibility left: the other party was someone very important to Shu Yu'er.
Important enough for her to lend out her deck!
For a young lady, someone would have to be important enough to lend her deck.
Either they are her parents... or her lover.
Shu Yu'er's father is the "Chairman" and he doesn't have the time to play around online. Her mother had already passed away...
In that case, it can only be a lover...
If he was really Shu Yu'er's boyfriend, as a guy who owns two new Epic Cards, he would indeed be barely acceptable.
"Captain... What should I do?" Zhou Gu said in a panic.
There are 30 seconds left in the pause.
He can't afford to offend Miss Shu's man.
"You haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of?" Chen Wencheng said coldly. "Just play normally, keep an eye on their operation first."
"Watch his dueling style."
"Uh, o- okay..." Zhou Gu trembled nervously.
[DING!]
The pause time is up.
"Seriously, you used up all those 5 minutes only to not drop the Ash? D*mn, what's the difference between this and wasting time?" Luo Bai angrily grumbled, feeling somewhat annoyed as he sent a message to his opponent.
"Can't afford to lose?"
"What, you wanna have a new match just to frustrate me by wasting my d*mn time?"
Luo Bai though that because the other party has lost a match against him before, he now invited him to a new match just to annoy him. This kind of thing does happen frequently in the Yu-Gi-Oh! online games back on Earth.
He was ready to snap back, confident in his skill as a keyboard warrior.
If his skills really can't keep up with him, he would just switch to voice chat, let out his frustrations, and then leave the room. He really dislike people like this who waste other people's time.
As soon as the message was sent out, the other party responded with 5 messages in a row.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"Senior, no, Brother, please calm down."
"It's my fault. My bad."
"I have no response, please continue."
A rapid hand speed, yet keeping a humble attitude.
"This..." Luo Bai was stunned by the apology.
A mountain of greetings from a long-time LOL player got stuck in his throat.
Is the other party just too humble and timid?
Biantana's keyboard warriors, do they not only have the typing skills, but also packs quite a punch in them?
