Chapter 62 - Chapter 62 - Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

"Already got a bounty so quickly..." Luo Bai exited the duel arena and headed to the lobby.

 

He checked the leaderboard to get an overview of the situation.

The event had been ongoing for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

He wasn't the first to complete the 13-win streak achievement; that was accomplished half an hour ago by a duelist with the ID "Meow Meow Meow."

The next achievement goal, a 25-win streak, still had no takers.

The Tearlaments deck had a guaranteed win rate, but it might not be as efficient as other decks.

During his 4th match, he drew a hand with Havnis, Maxx "C", Sulliek, Herald of Orange Light, and Agido———— a hand that could have easily crushed the opponent.

 

However, his opponent just summoned a 1900 ATK vanilla monster and ended their turn.

 

Luo Bai couldn't find a way to deal with it. Sulliek couldn't target vanilla monsters, and he couldn't even activate it.

What was even terrifying was that players using vanilla decks talked a lot of trash.

They made sure others knew about "their so-called soul" or whatever, shouting loudly and playing slowly.

In the end, his matches got dragged on for two more turns, and his waifu, Scheiren, had to come to his rescue.

 

If he were defeated by a vanilla deck, he'd be too embarrassed to face the world.

Luo Bai decided to check the environment and make slight adjustments to his deck. Many people used their favorite cards as avatars.

However, more were promoting their own IDs and live streams. The system even thoughtfully added a live stream link after their ID, allowing a direct link to see top players in action.

 

"I've got a 13-win streak, so what rank..."

 

Luo Bai looked at his ranking with some surprise.

 

"So this is what it's like being in a KC with 1.6 billion participants huh."

 

If it were on another planet, thirteen consecutive wins would have easily placed him in the top 30.

The points he got for his 13-win streak were indeed lower compared to someone with a 16-2 record. With such a large base, there must be some luck involved.

He needed to figure out a way to speed through the fish pond matches.

 

(Bai Yun is a member of the Level 4 Fortress Bianyuelong's Fortress Team. Her Deck actually only has one Level-8 Synchro card she bought at a high price. Compared to the Level 5 or 6 Fortresses, she's indeed someone from a fish pond.)

 

Luo Bai scrolled up to check the avatars of the top duelists.

 

", , , ..."

 

"Mostly OTKs..."

 

"All of them were fast attack Decks..."

 

"F*ck, !"

 

As he was flipping through the pages, he suddenly saw a terrifying avatar, which startled him.

Seeing the ID "Meow Meow Meow" and considering the Deck, Luo Bai had a bold idea in his mind.

 

"Teacher Tony, have you been keeping an eye on the store?"

 

"Sure, I'll give you a chance to get into the Top 100. The efficiency of Numerons is indeed impressive."

 

Luo Bai silently gave Teacher Tony a thumbs up. As for himself, he was genuinely surprised to find that 13-win streak had only placed him around 15,000th place.

His mindset had been limited by the KC from the Earth era, where there were tens of thousands of participants.

If he played Tearlaments continuously for 24 hours, he might not even secure a gold head. At his current pace, let alone with a normal routine, he wouldn't even complete 300 matches without eating or sleeping.

If this continues, wouldn't he end up ranking lower than a cat?

After losing to the cat, he would lose to the locals, and then he would have nothing left to lose.

It seemed he needed to bring out that one!

 

Luo Bai's eyes flashed with determination.

 

", attack!"

 

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

 

He shouted as he opened his deck builder.

To achieve the ultimate speed attack, he had removed most of Cyber Dragon's add-on cards, keeping only one and to search for .

He would skip making on the first turn to save time and just make do with and instead.

In this fish pond with an average duelist having 2000 ATK vanilla monsters, he needed a monster with 2100 ATK to stand out.

 

"Hiss... Been a while since I played it."

 

"How do you build a Deck again?"

 

"x3, x3, c3..."

 

"This seems a bit unstable."

 

"The Extra Deck is also a bit empty..."

 

"Yeah, let's add a to calm the nerves."

 

(Ahh~~ Verte Anaconda, take me away~~)

 

(森之蚺.bgm)

 

 

"OK, done!"

 

Luo Bai once again entered the virtual world's [Arena] – [KC Duel] and started finding a match.

In less than a second, a notification sounded.

 

[MATCH SUCCESSFUL!]

 

"Duel!"

 

"Duel!"

 

Both sides shouted in unison.

 

[FIRST TURN: RED SIDE!]

 

Again, he was going second, but that was perfectly fine!

 

"Hmph~ It looks like the goddess of luck still favors me." The female duelist on the other side, Dragon Queen, smiled and began to taunt.

 

Luo Bai could tell from her words that this match was likely a win for him.

Based on his experience from the previous 13 matches, those who spoke like this were usually going to set up their field and pass.

 

"I set a monster face-down and set two backrow cards, before ending my turn." After doing this, she smiled even more confidently, exuding a kind of "Perfect Hand" aura. "Hmph, fall into my infinite hell trap!"

 

It was clear that she was a bit stronger than the previous opponents.

She had some right to be proud.

At least she had set an extra backrow card.

 

"My turn, draw!"

 

"Standby, Main."

 

"I summon , activating its effect to search for ."

 

No response at the right moment; truly a fish pond.

 

"Hmph~~ A 500 ATK weakling can't break through my defenses." She sneered disdainfully.

 

This kind of typical taunt was something Luo Bai was already used to, and it didn't faze him at all as he continued his play.

 

"I activate , search for , then activate 's second effect to Normal Summon ."

 

Her taunting voice became even more arrogant: "Hmph~~ Yet another 800 ATK weakling~"

 

"Weak~~ ling~~"

 

"Clack!" Luo Bai clenched his fist.

 

This person was even more annoying than the previous ones.

 

"I discard to activate 's effect, adding to my hand."

 

"Hou~~ So you're actually capable of Fusion Summoning huh."

 

"Shut up, you're so annoying!" Luo Bai couldn't hold back and yelled, not even bothering to Link Summon .

 

"I activate the Spell Card: , using on the field and the in my hand as materials."

 

"Fusion Summon!"

 

"Crush her!"

 

"!"

 

"The monster Fusion Summoned using has its ATK increased by its Original ATK!"

 

ATK: 2100 -> 4200

 

Rampage Dragon roared loudly and doubled in size, arcs of electricity erupting from its body.

 

"What!?" Her eyes widened, and she finally started to panic. "A monster with 4200 ATK!"

 

"It's just beginning, little sister." Luo Bai's voice turned cold.

 

"'s effect activates, destroying her two backrow cards!"

 

"Blow them all up!"

 

"Ah?!" She was stunned, her voice a bit dazed.

 

"Both... both of my cards are destroyed..."

 

"I have no time to explain to you!" Luo Bai waved his hand and shouted "Evolution Thunder Blast!"

 

"Boom boom!"

 

Electric light engulfed the battlefield.

The set cards and shattered in response.

 

"I'm not done yet!" Luo Bai's voice was grim, a sinister grin spreading across his face, reminiscent of Hell's Kaiser.

 

"I activate 's second effect, sending and from the Deck to the graveyard. This turn, it can attack three times!"
