Chapter 82 Dreaming Back to Gx
I thought I could spend a pleasant day here, but within a few hours, the situation Lou Bai encountered made his idea shattered.
"Oh, you are a bunch of guys who can't afford to lose. They shrink back when they meet a strong person and don't dare to challenge them. How can you trash grow?"
It seemed that he was angry at the group of people in front of him who shrank when facing him, but Lou Bai was lamenting in his heart: It was a miscalculation, and he can't make gold!
According to the original plan, Lou Bai would have an underground duel here to earn some pocket money while abusing food. But he misjudged one thing - his fame seemed a bit big.
This so-called fame is certainly not good fame. Because Lou Bai whipped his corpse in the Lucky Cup semi-finals, he has been demonized among the low-level duelists. What a "devil comparable to a witch", a "brutal and vicious duelist"...
At this time, Lou Bai's reputation was completely different from when he was in the satellite area.
Just after Lou Bai knocked away the first unlucky egg, his representative monsters were recognized by the onlookers, and what followed was a process that seemed to be quite standardized:
\(`Δ’)/: “Oh no, xxx is here!”
?o?o?xn
\(`Δ’)/: “Everyone, run away!”
?(?)?xn
Man is a highly adaptable creature. Due to the occasional raids by the Public Security Bureau guards, the guys gathered in the Fallen District have gradually evolved an escape ability comparable to that of rats and an intelligence network comparable to the people in Chaoyang District.
After the information that Lou Bai came to the Fallen Zone was revealed, the news spread quickly. This also caused Lou Bai to run around the entire Fallen Zone, and except for being very angry, he didn't get a single duel.
"Really, am I so scary?" Leaning on the rocks on the seaside, blowing the sea breeze, Lou Bai stroked his face, and asked Xiaolan who was standing aside with some unconfidence: "Xiaolan, tell me, I He is indeed a good person, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Faced with this question that had only one answer, Xiao Lan's desire for survival increased sharply, sharply, and sharply. She nodded crazily and showed a ??? smile to Lou Bai.
Listening to Xiaolan's answer, Lou Bai touched his chin, nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "Let's just say, even if I face the imminent victory, I can give up Tamasi without hesitation. If I find someone disgusting, I will use my brains and strength to reduce him to nothing, but even though I am like this, I am still a good person!"
The master knows himself very well, except for the last sentence. Xiao Lan complained while holding her tail.
Although he usually treats bad guys very cruelly, the master should be very kind to Xiaolan... maybe? Thinking of the experience of being liberated by the [Psychic Ectoplasm] except for the [Aloof Beast Slayer], Xiaolan scratched his head with some uncertainty.
"Forget it, let's go back for lunch!" Lou Bai scratched his head in distress, and Lou Bai, who had made almost no achievements, planned to go home. He had been busy with Qiu's affairs early in the morning, and now he had been wandering here for several hours. Lou Bai's body told him that it was time to eat.
Have a meal! Hearing these two words, Xiaolan's eyes lit up. Then he pulled Lou Bai's clothes with some embarrassment and said, "Master, I seem to have noticed something delicious over there."
Hey, are card elves also greedy? Lou Bai felt doubts in his heart. I have never seen Xiaolan eating before. But since Xiao Lan wants to eat, then take her to buy it.
After following him for so long and helping him so much, Xiao Lan has never asked for anything from him. Since Xiaolan wanted to eat something today, she could still satisfy such a small request.
As for the money to buy food, Lou Bai, as a time traveler and unemployed vagrant, should have no money. However, Xintongshi is a vast land with rich products. Lou Bai can have snacks freely by picking up garbage. What, what rubbish are you talking about? Of course they are those underground duelists who suddenly fainted in front of them for unknown reasons!
Following Xiaolan, watching Xiaolan zigzag through the narrow alleys, Lou Bai couldn't help but say: "Xiaolan, your perception of food is too broad!"
"Hehehehe, it's coming soon, Master, look, it's right here!" As Xiaolan led herself out of the last alley, everything suddenly became clear.
An old bakery is located in this chaotic and degenerate area. The outermost is a wooden counter for entertaining customers. Through the glass display window behind the counter, you can directly see the bread making process. It was approaching meal time, and a chubby old woman with gray hair could be seen in the bakery kneading dough hard.
"Ah, it's a guest. Welcome to Grandma Kimura's bakery!" Seeing Lou Bai, Grandma Kimura stopped what she was doing and waved happily, greeting her.
Would anyone really come to buy a bakery in such a remote place? Although he had doubts in his heart, Lou Bai still came to the counter and asked: "Auntie, how do you sell this bread?"
"Guest, wait for me." Putting the kneaded dough aside to seal and ferment, Grandma Kimura used a wooden ladle to scoop out some water from a nearby water tank, washed her hands, came to the counter, and greeted Lou Bai.
"Oh, I'm sorry, old lady, I'm slow, so I just asked the customers to wait." Grandma Kimura said with a smile, then took out a box and introduced: "This bakery only sells 'card bread'!"
"Card bread?"
"Yes." Grandma Kimura nodded with a smile and said, "'Drawing card bread' means bread that you don't know what it is before you eat it. You can draw it once for only 50 yen! If you draw a rare bread, there will be a small gift!"
Bread full of randomness sounds very interesting! With this idea in mind, Lou Bai took out two coins from his pocket and said, "Auntie, give me two!"
It was just time for dinner, so I also wanted to taste what the bread that Xiao Lan was craving for tasted like. Taking the two breads in paper boxes, Lou Bai put them on the counter and waited for the moment to open the box.
Perhaps because the bread was just baked, the paper box was still a little warm. The box was painted with a pattern similar to the black vortex on the back of the Duel Monster card, which looked full of mystery.
Putting his finger on the box, Lou Bai was about to open it, but suddenly he thought of something and shouted with a sense of ritual: "My turn, draw a card!"
As soon as the voice fell, the lid of the box had been opened, revealing the true appearance of the bread inside. The bright yellow, soft oval bread was steaming, and at the top of the bread, a monster pattern was drawn with sauce.
"Is this monster a Cyber Dragon?" Lou Bai looked at the iron-gray snake-shaped monster with some surprise. You know, in this era, fusion monsters are almost extinct. Even if there are stores that draw monsters on bread to attract customers, most of them choose those well-known synchro monsters, such as [Red Lotus Dragon].
And the Kimura grandmother on the other side of the counter was also a little surprised when she heard Lou Bai call out the real name of the monster. She asked curiously: "Customer, have you seen this monster?"
"I can't say I have seen it, I can only say I know it." Lou Bai responded casually, and handed the remaining bread in his hand to Xiao Lan who was watching eagerly.
In the Fallen District, there are many people wearing any strange costumes, so Xiao Lan's maid outfit is not too inconsistent. After letting Xiao Lan restrain her tail, Lou Bai was happy to let her hang out outside.
"It's my turn! It's Xiaolan's turn, draw a card!" Xiaolan took the box expectantly, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered a few words, then suddenly opened the lid.
"Jiang Jiang! Xiaolan drew this! It's... what is it?"
Looking at the bread in front of him, Xiaolan was in a dilemma. What on earth is this monster with wings and a green body?
"Huh?! This is Wing Man!" Lou Bai, who heard Xiaolan's doubts and leaned over, recognized the name of this monster, which is honored as one of the four useless heroes [Elemental Hero-Wing Man]
This is one of the monsters used by the protagonist Yugi Tenth Generation in the era of Yu-Gi-Oh GX. It can be fused with another monster [Elemental Hero-Hot Girl] to form the trump card of the early Tenth Generation [Elemental Hero-Flame Wing Man].
Grandma Kimura also smiled and confirmed Lou Bai's guess: "The guest is really knowledgeable!"
"It's just so-so, Auntie." Lou Bai smiled and waved his hand, wondering: "But speaking of it, Auntie, these monsters of yours were popular many years ago!"
"Yes, I grew up listening to the stories of these monsters and the legendary duelists who manipulated them when I was a child!" Grandma Kimura showed a nostalgic look on her face: "But now they are rare, and I guess only old people like me still remember them."
As if she noticed the ambiguity in her previous words, Grandma Kimura added: "Of course I'm not talking about you, the guest. You are knowledgeable and know these historical monsters. You are amazing!"
Ignoring Grandma Kimura's words, Lou Bai comforted her instead: "Aunt, don't be discouraged. I believe there will always be duelists who use these monsters, and these monsters will definitely be able to evolve in the hands of their masters!"
With the changes of the times, duel monsters are also keeping pace with the times. From the DM era of you hit one and I hit one, to the fusion confrontation in the GX era, to the DM's synchro field now, many duelists are constantly changing their decks to adapt to this ever-changing era.
However, some duelists choose to kick out those cards that can't keep up with the times, but those real duelists will never give up their previous trump cards in pursuit of power, but choose to use their own power to evolve continuously.
If Judai and Yugi came to the 5DS era, they would definitely be able to print out a bunch of new synchro vests of Black Magicians and Heroes in minutes, right? Thinking in his heart, Lou Bai picked up his bread, said hello to Granny Kimura and planned to leave.
"Wait, guest, you still have prizes to claim!" Granny Kimura's words interrupted Lou Bai's wandering. He turned his head and asked in surprise: "There are prizes, am I so lucky?"
As for his luck, Lou Bai didn't even have a thought that he could successfully sneak into Europe. You know, he can play flying chess with three 1s in a row and guess the coin five times in a row wrong!
"Yes, guest, your luck is quite good!" Granny Kimura smiled and affirmed Lou Bai's words, and took out two small boxes from under the counter: "First, you won the prize of [Elemental Hero-Winged Man] bread, and I'll give you a Winged Man illustration!"
Faced with the illustration taken out of the small box, Lou Bai and Xiao Lan curiously leaned over. The illustration depicted a scene where [Elemental Hero - Winged Man] flapped its wings in the sky under the materialization of the duel disk. Although the paper of the illustration was a product of the printing assembly line, the content was still quite collectible - after all, this kind of monster is rarely seen now.
"There is also a reward for drawing [Electronic Dragon] bread."
Hearing this, Lou Bai became even more curious. No matter how you think about it, the rarity of [Electronic Dragon] is higher than that of [Elemental Hero - Winged Man], right? So what will the reward be? Will it be an illustration of the electronic dragon?
In the expectant eyes of the two, Grandma Kimura slowly took out... a piece of white paper from the box?
"What is this?" Lou Bai took the piece of paper curiously, and only found out that it was not a piece of white paper until he held it in front of him. It was painted with a lifelike electronic dragon.
"This is the ticket to the Electron Flow Dojo!" Granny Kimura squinted her eyes and smiled happily: "Take this, and you can go and see the birthplace of the Electron Flow!"
"Is this true?!" Hearing Granny Kimura's explanation, Lou Bai was overwhelmed by unexpected ecstasy. This feeling is like buying a lottery ticket on the roadside and winning five million!
You know, the Electron Flow has a special status among many card masters. This deck was once honored as the most distinctive deck. Back attack, surge attack, otk, this charm, this attitude, which card master can resist it!
With the progress of the times, the Electron Dragon has also gained new power, and its main card [Infinite Bubble] is used as a plug-in by a large number of decks because of its powerful effect.
But in addition to ecstasy, Lou Bai's heart flashed a trace of doubt. In such a remote place, it feels a bit strange to get such a precious treasure at almost no cost...
But what if there is a trap? Could it be that the Electron Flow Dojo is a den of dragons and tigers? Relying on his high skills and courage, Lou Bai decisively accepted this reward.
"Walk along this path for a few dozen meters, turn a corner, and then walk nearly 300 meters, and you can see the gate of the Electron Flow Dojo."
After pointing out the way to the Electron Flow Dojo for Lou Bai and Xiao Lan, and watching them leave, Grandma Kimura pushed open a door of the bakery and came to the kitchen. The shelves in the kitchen were densely packed, almost all of which were [Electronic Dragon] bread, while [Elemental Hero-Winged Man] bread was a minority. Lou Bai's luck was as reliable as ever.
"Hey, I hope that this time, the child Maru Teng Xuan can recruit an apprentice who is willing to learn Electron Flow..."
Looking at the room full of bread, Grandma Kimura sighed and started to get busy again. Although there is no one now, there will always be a long line in front of the bakery in the evening. Because of its good quality and low price, her bread is very popular in the eyes of the surrounding residents.
