Chapter 56 - That Look of Pure Jealousy, Directed at Me!.jpg
Level 7 Fortresses belong to external forces in the Mortal Realm and are not subject to the
They are quite peculiar, planning for world annihilation while also protecting the world from others who wish to destroy it.
............….
Five hours ago.
The five heads of the five major factions of the [Alliance], the highest authorities in the Mortal Realm, were holding a simple virtual meeting.
Five distinctly different voices spoke in turn.

"What else is there to think? Protect him until we find him before
"The summoner is... "My Waifu Scheiren"? Quite the romantic Duelist ID, isn't it?"
"We're in a meeting. Can you please be serious?"
"Does being serious help us dig him out from the 306 Level 4 Fortresses?"
"Besides, have you considered…"
"He might just be a bait for the
With these concerns voiced, the meeting fell silent.
At that moment, a cold, mechanical voice that didn't sound quite human spoke up.
[First, determine his location.]
[I have a small suggestion.]
[We could hold an event and use the duel system to gather information.]
The online duel system is the
[As long as he participates in duels, his information and data will definitely be exposed.]
"How can you be sure he will join the event?"
[As long as the bait is big enough, the fish will definitely bite.]
"You said the same thing last time."
"Don't let it turn out like last time, where the fish bit, and you ended up dragged down with them."
"Just say it straight———- how much are you trying to con me out of this time?"
[Not much, just about 10 billion. Let's make a big scene.]
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Truly worthy of the most talented researcher ever. Why don't you just go and become the President of World Expo?"
...............….
At Bianyuelong Advanced Duel Academy's affiliated card shop, Room 306 on the third floor.
Luo Bai appeared out of nowhere, crashing onto the bed with a muffled thud.
It was at least better than last time though————- no high-altitude free fall or being drenched.
"Fuahh———–"
Following the principle of sleeping where you fall, Luo Bai grabbed the Snowdrop pillow and rolled around on the bed with a moan of indulgence.
But poverty quickly brought him back to reality.
In just 2 days, his 10 million gold points had dwindled to just over 5 million.
"I need to make some money," Luo Bai said, getting out of bed and heading to the computer provided by the card shop.
Loading the Tabletop Program, he opened the second online duel interface.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
Each refresh saw the number of followers rise by hundreds or thousands, reaching over 70 million.
"How do I monetize this?"
Luo Bai thought about it, immediately considering straightforward monetization methods like advertising or live streaming.
But he had no experience and couldn't bring himself to do it.
The thought of earnestly introducing himself to hundreds of thousands or millions of people with something like "Hello everyone, I am
As for changing his ID?
Changing the ID was out of the question.
There's no way he would ever change his ID in his lifetime!
"Gods, could you send some money my way?"
Luo Bai sighed in frustration as he moved the cursor around the duel interface.
As if hearing his plea, a "ding" sound resounded, and an event announcement popped up on the duel system.
"KC Cup?!" Luo Bai's eyes widened in surprise.
He understood this event all too well———- at least one gold and 10 silver prizes.
However, after opening it, he found that this event was somewhat different from the KC Cup organized by Knami.
The most obvious difference was that Biantana's KC limits the number of duels to 300.
The event only lasts for 24 hours.
There's no first stage; everyone goes straight to the second stage.
Aside from that, everything else is similar to Earth's KC Cup: a time-limited free-for-all point-scoring system.
The event plan seemed rough and hurried, without any detailed planning.
Of course, these weren't the main issues.
The crucial point was that there was prize money for the gold/silver heads (Top 10/Top 100)!
Top 1 wins a full 100 million!
Top 2 to 10 combined have 400 million.
Top 11 to 100 combined have 500 million.
A grand plan worth one billion, with no restrictions on the rank of duelists for participation.
Biantana's 3.5 billion duelists were completely stirred up, and the forums exploded.
"D*mn! Did the Alliance go crazy?!"
"Foster Father, I pay my homage!"
"A grand plan worth billions of gold points!"
"Stop talking, bring on some civilian decks!"
"It's time for my Gladiator Beasts to shine."
"
"Get lost, you stand before Bianyuelong's Number 1
"I'm sorry for you, but that is nothing for Sumeru Garden's Top
As long as you participate in the event, there will be a ranking after it ends, with authoritative certification from the duel system.
It's convenient for flaunting achievements, indulging in leisure, and casually mentioning, "How did you know I placed XX?"
The system will also continuously display the top hundred players' duelist information, providing excellent advertising space!
With the online duel system's daily active users in the billions, imagine the promotional value of having a merchant's name continuously displayed.
Forward-thinking organizations have already considered buying display slots.
They offer a substantial sum for the service, simply requesting that the top hundred duelists change their IDs to the merchant's name.
Though it's unlikely anyone will agree, some even seek high-level professional players for the task.
For all professional players, it's a chance to gain fame in a single battle. Those with foresight wouldn't sell out their opportunity to showcase themselves for a small amount of money.
The event will start at 9 AM, a considerate schedule.
There are about 8 hours left for preparation, perfect for researching and building card decks.
"Free money?" Luo Bai flipped through the event details repeatedly, but he couldn't find what tasks the Top 100 players had to perform to receive their reward.
Purely for free?
What is this, charity?
Or what, is this some Phishing Cup?
Biantana doesn't even have a banned card list.
No matter how powerful a deck is, it can't become overpopulated; the cost of card creation keeps that in check.
And even the most powerful decks can be countered by specific cards. A deck with cards like
At this thought, Luo Bai's eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh, right———"
"There won't be any homogenization here."
He turned his gaze towards his collection of
The original reason he's sealing this deck was the concern that after it became popular, everyone would copy it, leading to severe homogenization and an imbalanced environment.
However, he suddenly remembered that Biantana duel system's deck builder requires inputting Magic Cards. Not everyone has all the cards; at most, people might borrow them for input.
If his guess is correct...
Luo Bai looked at the box of
"There should only be this one box of Tearlaments in this world."
As long as this card box isn't leaked...
He would forever be the only
Others wanting to play or build that deck would always be left watching.
"Hehehe..."
A villainous laugh leaked out of his mouth.
He even imagined himself lying on the beach in triumph.
