The breeze is blowing, and the morning light is shining. At this time, the road is unusually quiet in the early morning. This also reflects the atmosphere of early summer......

It's 5:54 a.m. on June 20, 2058, and many operators have already opened their stores early due to the start of summer. On a main road in the XL district of HS City, HUB Province, one or two small vehicles such as buses appear from time to time. However, not many people came out at this point in time, after all, it was the summer vacation season, at this time, students were on vacation, office workers had already asked for leave, and adults and children were basically still lying in bed and unwilling to get up.

In the early morning, a figure loomed on the right sidewalk of the main road of the city, which had been lifeless. A teenager who looked to be about sixteen years old was walking alone on this quiet sidewalk. The young man slowly walked from a distance, his dark red hair fluttering gently, and four lightning gold bangs almost twenty centimeters long were cocked behind his ears; In addition, the sides of the cheeks are also tightly pressed against the four golden lightning-shaped bangs that hang down. Under the action of the wind, the sea on the face flutters slightly, which gives people the feeling that it is too non-mainstream......

The dark blue tail jacket was put on the young man's body, and the whole person looked lifeless; In addition, the pure-blooded wide-shouldered vest is worn inside, giving people the impression that this teenager is so old-fashioned. A pair of pure black slacks with a silver-white flat belt tied to it, as if there was no money to buy a belt and pants; Because from a distance, you can see that the belt and pants have been around for a long time, and there are no less than ten folds or something. The last pair of feet swinging back and forth wore a very inconspicuous pair of pure black and white touring shoes......

Oh, my God! This teenager is simply a sling, and his height is no more than one meter seven!

And there is one thing on this sling that is in no way commensurate with his appearance, that is, a small 7-inch portable tablet hanging from the belt around his waist. No matter how you look at this thing, it costs hundreds of yuan, and compared to the clothes on his body, I'm afraid that the total cost of his whole body is not more than half of this small tablet......

The boy walked straight forward, and he didn't stop until he stopped at an intersection in front of him. It's only two minutes before six o'clock. The boy took out the small tablet from the wallet cover on his waist and adjusted it, as if he felt that the time was almost up, he put the small tablet back into the wallet cover on his waist. Now, there are only buses and a few private cars coming and going on the road. At this central intersection, the small shops in the neighborhood are all open. The boy stood alone on the sidewalk at the lower left corner of the intersection, looking around as if he was looking for something; But he stood still in that place, not so much looking for something as he was waiting.

When the time was exactly six o'clock, a slightly smaller figure walked on the sidewalk on the side of the road opposite the boy in front of him......

From a distance, I saw a girl about sixteen years old. The green silky hair is lowered vertically, and the white Japanese short-sleeved school uniform is tightly wrapped around the petite body; The blue neckline is tied with a pink silk scarf similar to a red scarf, and the black ordinary short skirt perfectly covers the thighs; The white skin of the legs runs from the legs to the soles of the feet. The white low-heeled sandals on her feet match the girl's whole body.

In addition to the height of less than 1.6 meters, the girl is very small and exquisite, the lubricated Sakura lips plus the watery round eyes and the initial peak of the A-line look girly and cute. The most important thing is that this naturally beautiful girl also reveals a kind of youthful and unconfused spirit......

The girl saw the boy, and the boy waved his hand to 'this place'. The girl trotted across the road without even thinking about it, but fortunately the intersection was green at this time, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened.

The girl crossed the zebra crossing and came to the boy, on the surface it looked like the girl was very tired, but in fact she didn't consume much internal energy at all. Moreover, the girl has been looking excited since she saw the boy, as if she was happy to see the boy.

"Why did you come so early this time? I thought you'd be late again. ”

The sweet accent came out of the girl's cherry lips, she clasped her hands behind her back, and there was no trace of shyness on her face, but she was very innocent.

"Uh...... Am I that kind of person? There was a slight black line on the boy's head, and he looked a little helpless. But after a while, he remembered something and asked the girl. "You didn't come home last night, did you sleep well alone at your aunt's?"

"Well, that's good! Okay, you build. Let's hurry up, we said that we should go early today, otherwise it will be troublesome when there are more people in the city center. ”

The girl called the boy by his name, and it seemed that they knew each other very well. And now it seems that the two have made an appointment to go to the city center together, so they came here early in the morning to meet......

"Quiet, you shouldn't have eaten breakfast. How about we go downtown for a bite to eat first? You Jian proposed.

"Okay!" The girl replied quietly and happily.

……………… Beginning.................. Sound.................. Not.................. Come..................

The city center of HS City is not far from the LX district. If you pay five yuan to take a regular bus, it will take more than an hour to get there, and even two hours! However, for an extra 10 dollars, you can catch a speedy taxi in 20 minutes. In comparison, it may be much more expensive, but for now, it is better to save time first......

You Jianhe went to a certain area in the city center early, solved the breakfast problem at a small noodle restaurant, and the two of them walked towards a large commercial city in the city center.

The so-called Great Trade City is the largest trade area in the entire city center. Its area is large enough to compare the area of two ordinary high schools. And now in the 21st century, every province in China has a city center with such a trade city. Therefore, all traders in the municipalities can conduct business transactions in this area, but these commercial transactions are only the business activities of small and medium-sized enterprises. Things like hotel food trading, supermarket goods wholesale, and ordinary car market understanding can be found here. However, the biggest trade event in the entire Commerce City is the card board game!

Whether it is "Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West", even the most common playing cards are sold in batches. Almost one-third of the card market is in the entire Trade City! And on every floor of the trade city, you can see dozens of large trading areas that sell cards. However, the real dominance of the entire card trade is the Japanese card game "Yu-Gi-Oh", which has been popular all over the world for 20 years!

Anyone who knows the history of Yu-Gi-Oh knows that this card game has been around since 1996. It then influenced the world in just one year, and the board game is still popular today. In addition, this board game can be used for stereoscopic video projection battles through duel discs, so "Yu-Gi-Oh" has become more and more updated and perfect in the past 20 years, and there is an endless stream of people who like to play every year. Then, the association related to "Yu-Gi-Oh" organized the launch of special prizes for competitions such as world champions, so players from all over the world enthusiastically participated in the competition to play "Yu-Gi-Oh". There are also related competitions in various countries and regions, and the rewards are also very rich. The current world game completely belongs to the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh".

These are secondary, though. The main thing is: everyone who plays Yu-Gi-Oh has a common goal, and that is to become the king of dueling! Because this is the highest honor in the dueling world of "Yu-Gi-Oh", those who enjoy this honor can be treated like heads of state all over the world, and they can also participate in national events or other things. There are already five people who have this title, but the strange thing is that each generation of dueling kings will mysteriously disappear since the first dueling king. Now it is the fifth generation of dueling kings Sakaki Yuki who is losing and supporting the situation. I really don't know if the future dueling world will let You Lost disappear mysteriously......

You Jian and Shen Jing came to a company-exclusive store with the largest card trade sales in the trade city. The two-hundred-square-meter space is full of card boxes and card boxes. All boxes and shelves are in full box. The glass case was locked with a few rare card cases. Yes, this is a store that specializes in selling Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and it is said that this is a branch store of Phantom Enterprises. The cards sold are all mid- and lower-level cards of Phantom Enterprises. There is no way, who made HS City not a key urban area. Only in the central urban area of the province such as WH City can you buy a middle- and upper-level card.

"Yes, the boss has brought in another batch of new goods."

Shen Jing and You Jian are both die-hard loyalists of "Yu-Gi-Oh". Since it's too early, not many people come to this store, and Shen Jing can carefully select each card box.

You Jian is not in that mood, he does like to buy new cards to enhance his deck. However, considering the limited funds on his body, he gave up the option of buying a high-end card and just picked a few cheap card boxes.

"You Jian, why don't you buy more? Qualifying in the city isn't far off, don't you know? ”

Looking at You Jian, who only bought a ten-yuan card box, she was curious, knowing that the first place in the qualifying competition in the city can get a bonus of 50,000 yuan, and You Jian participates every month. Although he never won the first place of 50,000 yuan, he squeezed into the top 20 of at least 5,000 yuan. And every time you play before a game, You Jian always buys a lot of cards to update his deck, and today I don't know why he only bought such a few cards. In the past, he had to buy at least 100 yuan or more......

"It's nothing, I just want you to buy more." You Jian told lies behind his conscience, but in fact, he didn't want to spend money.

"Is that so?"

Shen Jing didn't notice You Jian's 'painstaking work' at all, and she still unceremoniously picked the card box. Anyway, You Jian agreed, buy more and buy more.

While quietly selecting the card box, You Jian turned his attention to the window. Because the shop is located on the outskirts of the trade city, there is a window on the wall facing the door. Now the road outside the window has become full of traffic, and it seems that people have come out of their homes to do things.

Just as You Jian was thinking about where to go after buying the card, a flash of light flashed across his eyes......

"Huh?!"

You Jian looked at the location with some curiosity. In the corner to the right of the window, there was a pile of scrap cards scattered around, and under this pile of scrap cards was a metal object buried, and it was that thing that reflected a glimmer of light.

You Jian walked to the pile of waste cards and opened the pile of waste cards with both hands. Soon, a rectangular silver-white iron box appeared in front of him. However, this iron box is a bit strange, the edge of the original lid was actually welded to death, and it completely became a seamless iron box.

You Jian reached out to get the iron box, but as soon as his hand touched it, You Jian suddenly felt a lot of things suddenly increase in his brain......

"Finally found you, Third World You Jian!"

A word that came out of nowhere suddenly frightened You Jian, and he immediately looked around the entire store, except for the shopkeeper who was reading the newspaper and the silence who was choosing the card box, there was no one else here.

"Maybe it's an auditory hallucination, right?!" You Jian thought silently in his heart, after all, he didn't sleep well last night. Due to Shen Jing's absence last night, he played alone in the living room all night, and slept at almost two o'clock. As for what to play, I'll find out later.

Letting go of the mess in his heart, You Jian only noticed that the iron box had been held in his hand at this time. Looking at the iron box that he couldn't open at all, You Jian took it and walked to the boss who was still reading the newspaper at the counter.

"Boss, what's inside this iron box? Why are you so welded, you don't even have a seam! ”

The owner of the shop is an old man in his forties, and he says that he is old because he looks like a man in his fifties, and as for why this is happening, no one knows. And he's proficient in advanced calculations, so he's the only one in the big store who can manage all the bills. What's more, it's all card bills......

"I don't remember when I lost it, it seems like a boy gave it to me a year ago, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. And what else did the boy say, 'Whoever notices the box first will give it to him'...... That's pretty much it anyway. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's statement, You Jian felt a hint of joy in his heart.

"Am I the first person to notice this box? Otherwise, after a year, no one will find out about this box after staying here for so long!"

The idea of taking advantage of a small advantage instantly eroded You Jian's brain, but when he thought about it, a key question made him very confused. So he asked the shopkeeper again, "Boss, who is that boy?" Do you know each other? What does he look like? ”

The boss knew that You Jian might ask this, but he really couldn't remember it clearly.

"I don't know that kid, and I forgot what he looked like. However, I think he should be about the same age as you, only sixteen or seventeen! ”

"Uh...... Boss, I'm almost eighteen years old......" You Jian said helplessly, as if he had been troubled by his long grinding. Girls grow slowly and can be said to be young, naturally beautiful or something, while boys ............

"Oh! You're almost eighteen! But I think you feel like a junior high school student who has just entered high school, with your height and the way you ......."

The shopkeeper chuckled weirdly. Although he knew that You Jian would come to him regularly every month to buy a card, so the two also became friends in a long time of dealing with him, but he didn't know anything about You Jian's details. Until now, he still thought You Jian was a junior high school student.

You Jian was speechless about the boss's complaints, although there were many people outside who said this about him, but he was used to it, so he was too lazy to take these complaints, ridicule, and evaluations seriously.

"Forget it, these are all normal. Still, listen to what you just said, as long as you are the first to notice this box, you can get it. Really? ”

"Rest assured, it's true. You're the first person to notice it, so you can take it, I can't open this box anyway. Besides, we're friends! Just take care of my shop more in the future. ”

"The boss deserves to be the boss, thank you very much!" After listening to the boss's such a cool reply, You Jian was very happy, and his hands arched and posed.

"Alas, what a trivial matter! No thanks, no thanks! ”

The boss waved his old right hand informally. It seems that the two are still in the same way!

In the face of the boss's generosity, You Jianli immediately put on a righteous and insistent look, he patted his small chest with no chest muscles a little forcefully and shouted to the boss: "Boss, don't worry." I will definitely come to you often to buy cards in the future, I say yes! ”

After hearing this, the boss leisurely touched his beard, which was less than half a centimeter, and then nodded again and again with great praise: "Hmm! Well, that's good! Haha, haha......"

Just when these two people were too deep in the play, Shen Jing, who had already chosen the card box on the side, looked at the two of them speechlessly: "Is there a mistake, you two! What about acting?! Ignoring my existence!"

In order not to make these two people 'into the play' too deep and unable to extricate themselves, Shen Jing immediately walked to them: "Boss, what are you two talking about?" Laughing so high! ”

At this time, You Jian and the boss noticed the silence that had just finished picking out the card box on the side. One of them immediately slipped the tin box into his pocket, and the other immediately stopped laughing and returned to his usual state.

"Nothing, just a casual chat. Have you chosen all the card boxes? ”

You Jian looked at Shen Jing with a smile. Of course, this kind of smile is really the kind that doesn't smile......

"It's been chosen, you see."

As he spoke, he lifted a pink and white plastic shopping bag, and You Jian was about to cry when he looked at the bag. He didn't expect to choose several card boxes in a calm breath, and from the side of the translucent bag, he could see a large number of card boxes printed with classic and hardcover words. The main thing is that there are also some card boxes that look like rare cards. It is estimated that these card boxes will cost at least one or two hundred yuan together......

"Click...... Click......"

You Jian seemed to hear that his heart was beginning to crack. He knew why his heart was cracking, because he was heartbroken for the few red tickets in his wallet. You must know that You Jian's life is very embarrassing. Although he is very good at making money, only two-thirds of all the money he earns is used to support his family, and the remaining one-third is spent on Shen Jing. As for why he did it, everyone else knows. But the strange thing is that he himself doesn't know why, and often can't say why.

"Boss, check out! How much does it cost? Quietly carried a bag of card boxes and placed them in front of the counter in front of the store.

"Let me see......" The boss returned to the counter and began to calculate skillfully. There are ten boxes of [Flame Scorching], a total of ten yuan. There are ten boxes of [Tides of Water], a total of ten dollars. There are ten boxes of [Earth Crystal] for a total of ten dollars. [Wind Calamity] is also ten boxes, a total of ten dollars. Plus two [Natural Bloodthirsty] Multiple Scatter Card Boxes, four [Magic Wonders of the Natural World] card boxes, and a set of [Thousands of Seasons] Scatter Card Boxes, as well as ten [Magical Heaven] card boxes...... Well, it's three hundred and twenty dollars in total! ”

"Click-"

The heart is completely broken, and You Jian's life will not be long in coming......
