Chapter 1: The True Red Pupil
"Moxi Moxi...... I am Jonai...... White? What are you going to do......
"What? A dueling tournament held by a seahorse? Duel City? ”
"Okay...... I understand, but haven't I already been disqualified? ”
"Oh! I love you to death, white! ”
Hanging up the phone, Jonai lay in bed for a while, when suddenly a carp sat up, grabbed his trousers that were still on the ground, and put them on his body, he was now really eager to give birth to a few more arms to get dressed.
"That seahorse, you didn't even come to inform me of such a thing!" He complained and rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet 180 degrees, drank water and rinsed his mouth, picked up the water and wiped it on his face casually, then picked up the fanny pack of the deck and ran out.
Fortunately, everyone's relationship with Bai has always been very good, otherwise it would have been a big deal this time!
Because he had just gotten up, his mind in the city was not very clear, and he actually took two long detours to find the location where Li Bai made an appointment to meet him.
"Stupid, you were still sleeping when I called you!" Li Bai leaned on the open-air seat of a coffee shop, and counted the blonde young man opposite with an impatient expression, "Now I don't even recognize the boundaries of my hometown where I have lived for more than ten years, and the city is ...... You've been going too far lately, think about your sister Shizuka, think about her attachment to you, how do you give her courage when you look like this? ”
"I'm sorry." Jonai lowered his head and quietly let the girl accuse him.
Since Li Bai secretly arranged a job for his father, he gave him a huge bonus from defeating Bekas, so that Shizuka could use the most complete medical facilities and medical resources to treat his eyes, but obviously these things happened to make the castle feel a little fluttery, and the sudden comfortable life anesthetized his will, and he seemed to have lost the energy of the previous struggle, and hid at home to sleep every holiday.
"I'm sorry...... White, I think I really should reflect on it, I can't go on like this! At the mention of Shizuka, Jonai's spirits immediately lifted, and it seemed that he still cared about his distant cousin anyway.
"It's up to you, I can only talk about it." Li Bai saw that he had apologized like this, so he didn't plan to count the stupid things he had done, and lifted up the packaging box with the duel disc that had been prepared earlier from below and pushed it in front of him.
"Oh, this is a dueling plate."
"Great! Is this a dueling plate? "Jonai, who had been in the left hand of a large number of girls for a long time, opened the box excitedly as soon as he saw that he could get it, and couldn't wait to take out the deck and stuff it into the card slot of the dueling plate, and then placed it on his left arm.
He got up from his seat, pretended to pose a few times, turned his head and asked Li Bai, "How do I look now?" Isn't it stylish? ”
“…… Stupid. ”
Li Bai covered his face, and had the idea of pretending not to know him, this is an external seat, and there is only a green belt from the street, and the group of pedestrians just now looked at it...... It's like admiring the monkeys in the zoo.
"Jonai, you can remember what I said next!" She stiffly walked around the table, pressed Jonai back into her chair and sat down, then pulled him by the hair and pressed his head against the table, leaning her face too.
"What...... What's up? ”
The nose was full of the fresh fragrance of the girl's body, and the fair and bright face was close at hand, and the blonde young man opened his mouth, unable to speak clearly; He couldn't help but think of the perfume smell on Peacock Dance and the beautiful reporter—unlike their somewhat strong and seductive scents, the girl's scent was faint, not a floral or perfume scent, more akin to ordinary shampoos and soaps.
It's not strong, why does it smell so comfortable...... Looking at Li Bai's beautiful red eyes, Jonai knew that he must be blushing now, because he felt like a fire was burning on his face.
"The qualification I got you for is strictly illegal...... Feed! Listen to me intently! Li Bai didn't seem to notice the reason for the other party's blushing at all, but just pulled the hair in his hand fiercely to force the other party to come back to his senses after screaming.
"This stupid girl...... Even I can see that this man is interested in her, and now it is even more obvious that she doesn't even notice it? ”
Tianguangyan stayed on the sidelines and watched this scene, feeling a little unbelievable about Li Bai's sluggishness.
"I saw it back when he abstained from Bekas, and she probably just judged purely by what she believed." The lion wizard lay on the head of Tianguang Flame again, and it looked at the blonde young man who was being abused by the girl, and let out a sympathetic sigh: "If it weren't for the forced task again, I guess she wouldn't have bothered to spend so much money to help him...... This poor-looking guy is really unlucky, who doesn't like her to take a fancy to her. ”
He couldn't be blamed for that, for at his age, Shiro was probably the best woman of his age he could meet, plus the bounty of that huge bounty...... It's normal for him to have some ideas. Tianguangyan unconsciously grabbed the mango tea ordered by Li Bai, and tried it again before she could react when her hand passed through the cup for the first time, and then she remembered that she was in a soul state, and coughed twice as if she were disguised.
"The registration on my brother's side has been fully closed, and only the contestants can have the dueling board, and it and the puzzle card are the biggest double insurance to prevent the queue from cutting in the middle of the line, so no one can do this according to the normal process! Do you know what that means? Pig! ”
Li Bai stretched out his slender index finger and pointed at the tip of the nose in the city and pushed it upward, so that the city looked like it really had a pig's nose.
"Uh...... What do you mean? The castle was still in the embarrassment just now, and he didn't dare to resist too much of this trick because he knew that he was wrong, so he had to stay still and let the other party get angry.
Li Bai withdrew his index finger, took out three puzzle cards from the bag on his belt and unfolded them to him: "See these puzzle cards?" ”
Jonachi nodded.
"One of them is my dueling disc and the other two are the trophies I used to defeat my opponent while you sleep......" The girl shook the three puzzle cards towards the castle, then put two of them back in her bag, leaving only one in her hand.
With the characteristic sound of crackling cellophane shattering, the puzzle card, one of the conditions for qualifying for the quarterfinals, was torn into several pieces by her.
“…… That's the price to help you. Li Bai looked at the stunned blond youth and said, "80 contestants, 80 dueling plates, 80 puzzle cards...... These are fixed and cannot be changed, and with the addition of you and your dueling board, it is natural that one less puzzle card will be required. ”
"So you have to cherish this opportunity, understand? Try to avoid duelists in black robes or duelists who don't look right......"
Jonai looked at the white-haired girl who was explaining to him with a stern face, and couldn't say a word.
It was now 1:35 p.m., less than 6 hours before the start of the morning game, and before he could be amazed that Li Bai could hunt two puzzle cards in such a short period of time, he saw this extremely terrifying scene, and instantly he felt that the dueling disc in his hand had become a lot heavier.
Bai didn't hesitate to waste a hard-earned puzzle card to help me?
In that case, I must not let her down!
"Don't worry! White! Jonai's face was resolute, and he slapped his chest with a shocking sound, "I will definitely remember your teachings!" Strive to advance to the quarterfinals! ”
"Really?" Li Bai tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously, still not very relieved.
The reason why she nagged so much about these precautions in the city was that she didn't want him to be targeted by Gurus like in the original book and snatch the real red-eyed black dragon, this card is estimated to be more precious to him than his whole belongings, in case he is really robbed of the city, it is possible to collapse directly; And now that the format of the tournament has been canceled, although she can search for everyone's dueling disc through guò satellite query, the initiative is in the hands of the other party, and there is also the possibility of transferring Reyaka in advance before she comes to the door, so she can't be unguarded.
The castle is one of the top eight in the plot, and if the plot collapses for various strange reasons, she will have to be directly wiped out by the mandatory task......
When she thought about it, the girl burst into tears.
Because of the rampant nature of those Gurus, she got a lot of task rewards, and her deck was further strengthened, Li Baizheng was very happy, but she didn't expect that this sudden compulsory mission once again whipped her soaring heart, and also reminded her of her essential identity - she is a player/contractor, and her life still does not belong to her, but is controlled by various reliable or unreliable tasks.
"Of course! You can wait for the good news that I will be promoted! ”
Chengnai held the duel plate across his chest, said hello to Li Bai and ran out, he was even more eager to test the function of this "next-generation duel plate", he was envious of the huge momentum caused by Li Bai and the game when he first saw it, and now he can finally experience it for himself...... What could be better than that?
As for the girl's later admonitions, he didn't pay much attention to them, and most of them were taken as scenes - just kidding, if he avoided a duel fighter who looked suspicious and difficult to provoke, wouldn't he become a deserter? At the same time, it will also live up to Bai's wishes...... In short, just try to knock out all your opponents!
After driving away from the city, Li Bai lay on the table boredly, the mango tea had already been drunk by her, and the straw was inserted into the scattered ice cubes left behind, making a thin sound as she sucked hard.
"What about this cheating father's broken system and opening the killing mode...... What about a 2-point soul scale for a victory! It's not that there is no hair! She complained.
When Tianguang Flame first came out of the seal, I don't know if it was something involved, Li Bai's soul scale originally skyrocketed back to the standard median value of 50 points because of the recruitment of light path monsters, and instantly exempted her from those negative states due to soul instability, but there are also disadvantages, that is, she found that no matter how many soul scales she obtained, that value still stayed at 50 points, and she refused to move.
In this way, the reward mechanism that seems to be unusually "rich" in the duel city is completely lost, and the girl can only get rewards through the rules of the gambling card system in the guò plot, but maybe she can trigger some hidden mission, but the probability is too low, and it is too unreliable.
"That guy Bekas, when will the big opening be done......
=====================================
――New York City――
On the top floor of an office building, in the gloomy hall, sat a man wrapped in a black robe, the hood of which had a thousand eyes embroidered with a real eye, no doubt the costume of Gurus.
The black-robed man supported his chin with his left hand, and stroked a scepter with a golden body and a length of about twenty centimeters in his right hand, and in front of him, there were several large screens showing him the progress of Gurus's work in Tong Shiye City, as the leader of this organization, he had little free time.
"Oh~ She actually took the initiative to add a new prey?"
As if he had received some message from the headphones, a playful smile appeared on the corner of the black-robed man's mouth.
"It's just right, Tong Guò hunted this guy to lure her to Xicheng District."
"Although I also hate those rough people who can only lick knives, but after all, we have to show some sincerity after receiving other people's money......" He waved the scepter at the screen like a fly, "Go and inform those two groups, the seahorse and the game will ignore it for the time being, and gather in Xicheng District to prepare for the forced hunt after the battle." ”
“…… If only our eldest lady had been alive then. ”
