Chapter 5 - Contractor's Deck

"..." The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Li Zheng didn't know how to explain his origins. It just so happened that the silver-haired girl with twin ponytails didn't seem to be good at speaking. The two of them just stared at each other silently, as if waiting for the other to speak first.

Facing Hui's indifferent eyes without a trace of impurities, Li Zheng felt a lot of pressure. After about five minutes, this duel of staring ended with Hui's complete victory. Li Zheng finally figured out how to start talking. He took a deep breath and said, "Hello, my name is Li Zheng, a lost soul. I guess this doesn't seem to be the real world, nor is it my original world. Can you tell me where this is?"

"Hello, Dongfeng Gu Hui." The silver-haired girl was surprisingly nice. She tilted her head and didn't doubt Li Zheng at all. Her clear eyes and gentle voice made Li Zheng suddenly feel a desire to protect her. "I've been here before, but I always thought it was in my dream. Until today, I found that this seems to be my inner world."

Dongfeng Gu Hui said calmly, then closed her mouth and continued to tilt her head to observe Li Zheng. But Li Zheng was not so calm. My sister, can you not be so calm? You shouldn't be like a normal girl, afraid to expel the soul suspected of possessing the body, right? Or be curious about the guy who came from nowhere, right?

But Dongfeng Gu Hui was so calm now, Li Zheng didn't know how to open the situation. After a long silence, Li Zheng tried to say something that might interest the other party.

Li Zheng [Anyway, let's try the literary and pretentious mode first, many girls like this tune]: "I like the sea breeze of the Adriatic Sea, do you like it?"

Hui-chan: "..."

Li Zheng [How about just **? ]: "Hey, girl, the weather is so good, why don't you play a game of Yu-Gi-Oh? This light path is for you, and I'll use the hero."

Hui-chan (tilting her head, looking puzzled): "..."

Li Zheng [It seems that this won't work... so ordinary? ]: "Um, Dongfenggu sister, how are you?"

Hui-chan: "..." Just when Li Zheng thought it was useless and was about to find someone else, the girl suddenly reacted. She tilted her head and said: "Um, just call me Hui... What are your 'Yu-Gi-Oh', 'Light Path', and 'Hero' just now? Shouldn't those cards be called 'Duel Monsters'?"

Although the other party's tone was very calm, it sounded like fairy music to Li Zheng. Finally, this girl finally spoke! This damn awkward atmosphere was finally broken! This is a major improvement for programmer Li Zheng, who can only say three sentences to a girl at most in a week!

Li Zheng resisted the urge to burst into tears and started talking to the girl. Although the other party didn't say much, Li Zheng was good at drawing inferences from one example and also mastered some of the information.

The game king in this world - or should it be called Duel Monsters - is a card game that is popular all over the world. Players who play Duel Monsters are often not called players. They are called "duelists" - Li Zheng doesn't complain about this slightly middle school name, sometimes it's quite exciting, isn't it - duelists collect cards and then duel.

Due to its popularity, there are also large-scale world-class competitions. Now Dongfeng Gu Hui is participating in the "Dueler Kingdom" which is currently the most popular large-scale event.

"Dueler Kingdom" is a world-class competition initiated by the founder of Duel Monsters "Becas-j-Crofordo". The winner of the competition will receive a huge bonus provided by Becas and an opportunity to challenge the founder of the card. The tournament invited famous duelists from all over the world. Dongfeng Gu Hui was invited because she won the top eight in the All-Japan Tournament.

Wait... All-Japan Tournament? Hearing this, Li Zheng realized that he and the girl should have been communicating in Japanese, and he didn't know Japanese at all? He had been listening to her speaking Chinese...

Wait a minute, think about where this is. This is Dongfeng Gu Hui's inner world. The girl should not be communicating with him in the so-called "language", but a kind of inner communication, spiritual communication. Then think about my current identity, the spirit behind me, don't spirits communicate with ordinary people using consciousness or something? It seems that I am doing the same now. Moreover, the other party has not been on guard against me, it is very likely because the communication is using consciousness. She should be able to immediately feel whether I have any ill will towards her.

After thinking this through, Li Zheng continued to communicate with the girl. Not long after, both sides felt that it was almost enough, and finally stopped. Li Zheng learned that it was night now, and Dongfeng Gu Hui was currently sleeping in the cabin of the ship heading to the "Dueler Kingdom", so she thought she was dreaming at first.

But... Li Zheng looked around. This was the girl's inner world, but this inner room looked like a hospital ward. It was conceivable what the girl's inner world must be like. Perhaps not only her inner world, but also her body was not very good.

Li Zheng had no time to sigh. The most important thing now was the "Dueler Kingdom" competition. His performance in this competition would be related to his reward for the main task. This system was the guarantee of his rebirth, and he could not afford to be careless.

Li Zheng asked with great seriousness: "So, Hui, can you let me help you look at your deck? To be honest, I was actually a pretty good duelist in my original world when I was alive."

After saying these shamelessly, Li Zheng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. But the girl opposite him didn't doubt him and handed a deck to Li Zheng. Li Zheng was a ocg player in his previous life, but he wasn't a top player. If he wanted to play competitively... if he was given all of Feng Jingxuan's rare cards, he could still play - well, just to the extent of playing - but he couldn't do it on his own.

Li Zheng felt a lot of pressure holding the girl's deck. From the girl, Li Zheng learned that this world had a black technology called "stereoscopic imaging" that could materialize all duel monsters. Due to this technology, the "duel monsters" in this world must be much more popular than those in his original world. The more popular this game is, the more people will play it, and the more intense the competition will be. Under fierce competition, all kinds of powerful tactics and decks will be put together by those duelists. The duel level in this world... After analyzing this, Li Zheng felt that he should not be too optimistic.

After getting the girl's deck, Li Zheng began to look through it carefully. The girl was once the top eight in the All Japan Tournament. Her strength should not be underestimated. I don't know if I can help her...

Youyou, Youyou, Female Swordsman Canaan, Rainbow Fish... Li Zheng frowned. The girl's deck seems to focus on the play of ordinary bones, that is, ordinary monsters. But for the ordinary bone axis, a lot of magic and trap cards that strengthen ordinary bones should be invested, such as three white bone areas, weak flesh, horse bone counter, etc., but so far Li Zheng has seen all kinds of ordinary bones in the girl's deck. There are not many magic and trap cards? And for the ordinary bone axis, the weak flesh ordinary bone axis is mainly one- and two-star monsters, while Canaan, Rainbow Fish, etc. are all four-star monsters... Ordinary bone R4 specialization? Impossible, the system has previously said that there is no excess here.

Li Zheng suddenly realized that he couldn't understand the deck construction here...
