Chapter 83 The End of Electron Flow
"A few dozen meters, turn at the first intersection..." Following the verbal instructions of Grandma Kimura, Lou Bai took Xiao Lan through the alleys. Seeing Xiao Lan holding her bread and eating it in small bites, she was so happy that she couldn't help but swing her tail. Lou Bai asked curiously: "Xiao Lan, I haven't seen you eat anything before, why is it so delicious this time?"
"This bread is different?" Xiao Lan licked the crumbs stuck on the corner of her mouth with her tongue, and explained: "This bread contains grandma's love for the card elves!"
So that's it, because it is bread containing love, it seems particularly delicious, just like the universe's big steamed buns, the mother's sun ball, a food that glows? Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable to attract Xiao Lan... reasonable fart!
Lou Bai shouted in his heart with a face full of regret: This is obviously the world of Yu-Gi-Oh? Why did the Chinese Cooking Master come in? ! Forget it, there is no need to understand the card elves too much.
Let me taste the taste of this bread too. With curiosity, Lou Bai opened his mouth and took a bite of the [Electronic Dragon] bread he had drawn, and felt the taste different from the soft dough.
"Hey, there are fillings? Is this fried noodles?" After taking a closer look at the things in the bread, Lou Bai said to himself. Fried noodles bread, I haven't eaten it in my previous life. Now it's the first time I eat this novelty. I feel that the taste is pretty good and it's quite filling.
Fried noodles bread can be said to be a special product of Japan. The combination of two staple foods constitutes a unique taste different from a single bread. The crispy bread crust is paired with q-elastic fried noodles. Taking a big bite while it's hot is definitely an excellent experience.
Chewing hard, feeling the starch and fat blending in his mouth, Lou Bai squinted his eyes happily. Although he didn't feel the love that Xiao Lan said, when he was hungry, high-calorie things such as starch and fat can still make people feel a strong sense of satisfaction.
"By the way, speaking of fillings, Xiao Lan, what is the filling in your bread?" Thinking of Xiao Lan's bread that was different from his own, Lou Bai asked curiously.
"Ah, stuffing?" Hearing the master's question, Xiaolan's cheeks kept twitching. He raised the bread to his eyes and observed it for a while: "It's eggs! Golden eggs!"
Golden eggs? Lou Bai suddenly felt that the fried noodles in his mouth were not fragrant. This kind of stuffing is better than my fried noodles, right? Could it be that I got the guaranteed one again?
But if that's really the case, the gift of [Electronic Dragon] bread - the opportunity to visit the Electronic Flow Dojo - is it cheaper than the Winged Man illustration?
Thinking wildly in their minds, Lou Bai and Xiaolan finally reached their destination. Lou Bai was surprised at the first time that there was an Electronic Flow Dojo in such a place, but it was normal after thinking about it carefully.
Although in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, the first Electronic Flow Dojo was on the snowy mountain, as the Electronic Flow became more and more prosperous, various branch dojos were built all over the world.
This dojo is probably one of the branch dojos, right? Before the New Tongshiye and Satellite District were separated, this location should have been the city center where every inch of land was valuable. The fact that such a large piece of land was acquired in the city center for the construction of the dojo shows how prosperous the Electron Flow was in the past.
Looking up, this is a traditional wooden structure. One side of the towering walls around it became mottled because it was close to the sea, and some places were even rusted due to direct immersion in seawater.
After walking a few steps along the wall, Lou Bai finally found the location of the gate with Xiao Lan. The two red wooden doors had been unmaintained for a long time, and the paint on them had peeled off, revealing the ugly black wooden boards.
"That ticket should be used here, right?" Although the appearance was somewhat inconsistent with the Electron Flow Dojo in Lou Bai's mind, he still decided to take a look, after all, he was here.
Stepping up the steps made of bluestone slabs, Lou Bai put his hand on the gate. With a little force, the gate made a creaking sound and then retreated to both sides.
"Hey, is the door open?" Lou Bai bent his fingers and tapped the door a few times, shouting to the inside: "Is there anyone inside?"
The dojo was quiet, no one responded, perhaps the people inside didn't hear it, or there was no one inside at all. Despite this, Lou Bai unexpectedly found a notice posted on the wall.
"Visitors to the Electronic Flow Dojo, please feel free to visit. If there are visitors who are willing to learn the electronic flow, please leave a message below."
Approaching the notice, Lou Bai read out the content recorded on it, and then took out the paper with the electronic dragon drawn on it with a strange expression - the paper called the electronic flow dojo ticket.
"What? Isn't this thing useless at all?" Looking at the wide open door, Lou Bai complained. In the dojo that is originally free to visit, this is simply an unknown prop.
Although so, Lou Bai also understood the significance of Grandma Kimura's action in his heart. The terrain of the Fallen Zone is complex, and the geographical location of the Electronic Flow Dojo is much more remote than the bakery. If it weren't for Grandma Kimura's guidance, I'm afraid no one would even know that there is a dojo here?
Imagine if you got a free coupon, you would definitely want to use it out of the desire to get a small advantage, right? This move by Grandma Kimura is to attract traffic to the electronic flow dojo.
Knowing the meaning behind this coupon, Lou Bai also relaxed his vigilance. Many fears come from the unknown. As long as you know the truth behind it, there is nothing to be afraid of.
After figuring it out, Lou Bai felt a little sad. When did the flow of electrons fall to the point where a bakery was needed to drain it?
Walking into the dojo, Lou Bai looked at the surrounding scenery. The dojo was filled with a sense of desolation mixed with the heavy sense of history and the silent atmosphere.
In the lawn on the side, the pool that should have been clear to the bottom had grown a thick layer of moss because there was no water flowing for a long time. There were several sets of tripods and clothes drying poles on the sunny side of the lawn, and some clothes were drying on the clothes drying poles.
The lawn had not been trimmed for a long time, and all kinds of wild flowers and weeds were mixed together and grew unscrupulously. The stone path connecting the various buildings in the dojo had only traces of people stepping on it in the middle, and there was dust on both sides.
Since the small attic where the normal school and the students lived was locked, Lou Bai took Xiao Lan's hand and walked to the training ground on the side.
"Master..." Feeling the atmosphere around him, Xiao Lan raised his head and looked at Lou Bai, and said hesitantly: "I can't feel the power of the card elves here."
"Really?" Lou Bai muttered, and said a little disappointedly: "Now the electronic flow may be dead."
Walking into the training ground, the wooden floor was empty, and the walls were painted with murals of electronic flow monsters, [Electronic Ogre], [Electronic Phoenix], [Electronic Kirin]... and the crystal of the electronic flow [Electronic Dragon] painted in the center, which can be seen as soon as you enter the door.
"Rather than a dojo, it's more like a museum now, right?" Lou Bai sighed regretfully. He thought of the many intangible cultural heritages of his previous life. Because they couldn't keep up with the times, these former treasures gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Even if there are still intangible cultural heritage inheritors who stick to it, without social recognition, the final destination of these treasures will still be museums.
The same is true for the electronic flow in this world. If a school wants to prosper, it not only needs a few masters, but also a large number of apprentices who recognize it. But in this era of high-speed duels, if you study it to the end, you can only get the electron flow of fusion power. How can you attract duelists to learn it?
"Let's go. You can't learn more if you look at it further. The electron flow without a successor can't show its former glory after all."
Standing in front of the mural of [Electronic Dragon], Lou Bai admired it for a while, then turned around, called Xiao Lan and prepared to leave.
"Big bad guy, you are not allowed to say bad things about the electron flow!"
Just when Lou Bai came with a pilgrimage mentality and ended up returning in frustration, a crisp child's voice from behind stopped him.
Turning his head, Lou Bai saw a chubby kid staring at him with his eyes wide open. Although his expression was fierce, his round little face didn't seem to have any deterrent power.
"Oh, are you a learner of the electron flow?" The first time he saw someone in the electron flow dojo, Lou Bai asked curiously.
Hearing the words of the stranger in front of him, the boy firmly straightened his chest and said happily: "That's right, I, Marufuji Shin, will definitely carry forward the electron flow in the future!"
Excitedly reporting his name, Marufuji Shin only then realized that the man in front of him was the bad guy who destroyed the electron flow. He hurriedly took out the duel disk from behind and said: "Bad guy, duel with me! If you lose, you have to apologize for what you just said!"
In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, it is common to start a duel without saying a word. Lou Bai, who has been in this world for so long, is naturally familiar with this rule. Just like Kamen Rider took out the transformation device, Lou Bai also took out his duel disk from somewhere behind him and put it in his hand.
Raising the duel disk, Lou Bai smiled and said: "Okay, I agree to your duel, but let me make it clear first, I'm not a bad guy, you can call me Kobayashi Mashiro."
"Duel!" x2
"It's mine to attack first!" To Lou Bai's surprise, Marufuji Shin did not choose to attack second like the average electronic player, but decisively took the initiative.
After looking at the five cards he drew, Marufuji Shin thought for a while, and then slapped a monster on the duel disk: "I want to normally summon this in attack position, [Electronic Kirin]!"
The old-fashioned duel disk rotated, emitting colorful light. A four-legged beast made of steel appeared in the light. [Electronic Kirin] has blue stripes on its silver-white steel torso. It roared at Lou Bai, and then guarded in front of its master.
[Electronic Kirin] [3 stars/Light]
[Monster/Effect]
[ATK/DEF: 300/800]
After summoning this seemingly powerful but low-status monster, Maruto Shin did not continue to deploy, but slapped two cards in his hand on the duel board: "Cover two cards, end the turn!"
Maruto Shin's hand: 2
Front: [Electronic Kirin]
Back: Cover card x2
"Is this your electronic flow?" Looking at the three cards in front and back, Lou Bai slowly drew a card from the deck: "My turn!"
"Since you are a child, I wanted to let you go, but my dignity as a duelist and my admiration for the former electronic flow do not allow me to do that!" Lou Bai drew a card in his hand: "I'm going to go, I'm going to go all out!"
"First, I'll summon [Dragon Maid - Washing Dragon Maid] in my hand in Defense Position Normal Summon!"
Hearing the call of the master, Xiaolan quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth. After reluctantly wrapping the remaining half of the bread in a box and putting it on the ground, Xiaolan jumped in front of [Electronic Kirin], blocked it with a wooden barrel, and confronted it.
"Eh?!" Seeing the sister who was just eating bread jump to the duel field and turned into a duel monster, Maruto Shin hadn't reacted for a while. He said in disbelief: "People, people actually turned into duel monsters?"
"It's not that people turned into duel monsters, but that they were originally duel monsters!" Without the idea of hiding, Lou Bai directly told the truth.
After answering Maruto Shin's doubts, without continuing to pay attention to his surprise, Lou Bai decisively activated Xiaolan's effect: "[Dragon Maid - Washing Dragon Lady] When the normal summon is successful, send the top three cards of the deck to the graveyard! Xiaolan, make a graveyard!"
Squatting on the ground, Xiaolan waved his hand, and the top three cards of the deck were swiped and sent to the graveyard. Seeing the result of this graveyard pile, Lou Bai showed a satisfied smile. Is this the real strength of Xiao Lan? Ada Thief!
"Next is this! [Thunder Dragon-Thunder Dragon]!" Flipping the vicious eight-star monster in the hand, Lou Bai said: "This card can be special summoned by banishing one light attribute monster and one dark attribute monster in the graveyard! I want to banish the two monsters sent to the graveyard by Xiao Lan!"
Taking two monsters from the graveyard and putting them in the banishment zone, Lou Bai said: "I banish the light attribute [Thunder Dragon] and the dark attribute [Thunder Dragon-Thunder Dragon] in the graveyard!"
The vicious two-headed monster [Thunder Dragon-Thunder Dragon] made a grand appearance. It is also a four-legged beast-type monster. Compared with it, [Electronic Kirin] seems like a toddler.
"When [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] is banished, the effect is activated. Add a [Thunder Dragon] card from the deck to your hand!"
When dealing with the search effect of [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon], Lou Bai hesitated for a while. He wanted to clear the opponent's life points in one turn with two face-up cards and a wall monster. This was a bit difficult, and his current hand could not trigger the card explosion effect of [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon]. So he chose [Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] to suppress it first.
That's right, although the block search effect of [Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] has almost no effect on any duelist, it is indeed a suppression monster.
"[Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] effect, search for [Thunderbird Dragon - Thunder Dragon] in the deck!" After grabbing this monster in the deck, Lou Bai immediately threw it into the graveyard: "Discard this card in your hand and revive [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] in the graveyard!"
Drawing a card from the Extra Deck, Lou Bai said: "Because the effect of [Thunderbird Dragon - Thunder Dragon], a Thunder-type monster, is activated in my hand this turn, I can release my Thunder-type [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] on the field and special summon this monster from the Extra Deck!"
"Come on, [Cyclo Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon]!"
