Chapter 50 I Can't Sleep Tonight
Night fell, but few people in the Bekas Castle slept peacefully.
After dinner, Jonouchi received the "Glory of the King's Left Hand" from the game, which solved the problem of qualification, but this was not enough. If the opponent was Hui, Jonouchi believed that ordinary methods could not defeat the opponent.
After adjusting the deck for a long time, Jonouchi began to be confused about whether to keep a card.
"This 'One-hit Kill Samurai' was originally Hui's card. Can I use it in the competition tomorrow?" Jonouchi looked at the samurai with a funny appearance and pondered silently, "The power of 'One-hit Kill Samurai' is really strong, but..."
Jonouchi scratched his head and could not give an answer.
Shortly after the Tapir incident, Yugi and the others found Jonouchi sleeping in the bushes. Before they could find Hui, Kaiba arrived at the island of the "Dueler Kingdom" by helicopter. The arrogant Kaiba (from Jonouchi's perspective) was originally only interested in Yugi, and Kaiba always called Jonouchi "ordinary" and "mediocre". When Kyoko accidentally said that Jonouchi came to the island for his sister's medical expenses, Kaiba looked at Jonouchi a little more.
So, when Kaiba invited Jonouchi to a duel in the name of "testing a new duel disk", Jonouchi agreed with full momentum, but was beaten by Kaiba.
Kaiba only used a level 4 monster: "Sapphire Dragon", and killed almost all of Jonouchi's main monsters including "Flame Swordsman"!
Later, Jonouchi drew "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" and used its 400 attack power to defeat "Sapphire Dragon". But just after finally defeating the "Sapphire Dragon", Jonouchi encountered Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" again!
Although both are powerful dragons, the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" is not strong enough to fight against the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" at present. Jonouchi was sprayed with blood by the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and his LP dropped to a dangerous level of only 150.
Kaiba hit Jonouchi and said, "You are not strong enough to fight me now." And not long after Kaiba finished this sentence, Jonouchi drew the card representing fate - at that time, Jonouchi drew the "One-Hit Kill Samurai" given to him by Hui!
Jonouchi once again used his strong luck (of course, Jonouchi's own is: the power of friendship...) to activate the effect of "One-Hit Kill Samurai", and the samurai used the spear in his hand to complete the feat of slaying the dragon again!
Kaiba was finally moved at this time, "What kind of monster is this! It can actually defeat the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'!" Kaiba's expression and words at that time, Jonouchi now thinks that he may never forget it for the rest of his life.
Although Kaiba was only interested in Kei who gave him the card, Kaiba still stubbornly called Jonouchi himself "mediocre" and "ordinary"; although in the next round, Kaiba summoned the second Blue-Eyes White Dragon and defeated him with the magic card "Exploding Wind Bullet of Destruction", but seeing Kaiba's frustrated expression as if his wife had died was already a victory for Jonouchi. That moment was the most proud moment for him since he participated in the "Dueler Kingdom". For Jonouchi, defeating Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" was second only to defeating Pegasus and Yugi.
[Exploding Wind Bullet of Destruction: Normal Magic, Effect: This card can only be activated when there is a face-up Blue-Eyes White Dragon on your field. Destroy all monsters on the opponent's field. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon cannot attack during the turn this card is activated. 】
And now... Jonouchi carefully wiped this "One-hit Kill Samurai". Tomorrow was a duel with Hui. Could he still use this "One-hit Kill Samurai" with confidence?
Jonouchi couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Yugi must have a way to solve this problem. So Jonouchi estimated that Yugi hadn't slept yet, so he walked out of his room, but as soon as he went out, Jonouchi bumped into Thief Keith who seemed to be out for a walk as well.
Well, a physical bump.
"Hey, hey, hey, you don't look at the road when you walk!" Before Jonouchi got angry, Thief Keith started to scold him, "You bastard, are you deliberately disturbing my mood to go out for a walk at night?!"
But Jonouchi didn't like Thief Keith in the first place, and he also had a violent temper that was unique to young people. After Thief Keith said this, he exploded, "I want to ask you something! You are a thief and scum who only knows how to use despicable means!" Jonouchi didn't care that the other party was taller and stronger than him, "It's a good thing to meet you tonight. I'll take revenge on you!" He was about to fight.
"Yo, yo, you want to fight? Okay, I support you. Anyway, as long as you start the fight, you will be disqualified." Thief Keith waved his hand indifferently, "I don't care anyway. I know it won't hurt if you hit me because you look so weak."
"You... remember this!" Jonouchi put down his raised fist. He tried his best to suppress his anger and reluctantly stopped. Seeing that Thief Keith seemed to have the intention to continue to provoke him, Jonouchi had to retreat first, otherwise he was worried that he would not be able to control himself and beat him up. And if he used force first, he would indeed be disqualified by the organizer.
Watching Jonouchi's departing back, Thief Keith played with the "Glory of the King's Left Hand" he had just received from Jonouchi, and said with a smile: "Hehe, young people are easy to deal with. They don't care about anything after a little stimulation..."
——————————Harpie 1——————————————
In Peacock Dance's room, Peacock Dance was making the final adjustment to her deck, and her expression was meticulous.
[Tomorrow's opponent is Yugi-chan, I won't be careless. ] Peacock Dance prepared for tomorrow's duel with Yugi almost as if she were preparing for the finals, [I didn't expect to duel with Yugi so soon, it seems that I have to reveal my trump card in advance...]
On the table in front of Peacock Dance, a deck with three "Harpie" cards as the core was being spread out. Peacock Dance wiped off the perfume that was originally applied on the cards, closed her eyes and randomly picked six cards from them, and basically she could play them.
[Very good, in this case, as long as my luck is not too bad tomorrow, I can complete this gorgeous combo tactic! 】Peacock Dance wiped the sweat from her forehead. After such a long time of thinking, she should change the deck. Except for "Harpie", basically all the other cards that Peacock Dance has have been adjusted from this deck several times.
There was even one time when Peacock Dance planned to remove a "Harpie" to add more and stronger equipment magic to make the deck more combat-effective, but she gave up after thinking about it. There were already few monsters in her deck. If she went to extremes like this, the deck would be even more uncontrollable.
Now, half a night of sorting can finally come to an end.
[It's time to go to bed. Lack of sleep is the enemy of women...] Peacock Dance put away the sorted deck, turned off the lights and went to bed.
——————————Destruction of Exploding Gale Bomb——————————
In Honma Gengsi's room, the boy looked at the deck in front of him in a trance.
"Tomorrow's opponent is that thief Keith." Honma Gengsi recalled the scene when he was defeated by his opponent for the first time-
"My monsters are equipped with 'Anti-Magic Armor', so your 'New Water Mage' has no chance to cause damage to me!"
"'Defense Seal', now you can no longer hide under the protection of the monster, use the slot machine with three 'No. 7 Cards', attack the 'New Water Mage' in attack position!"
"You are so weak, if I didn't have only 4 star chips, you would not be able to continue participating now!"
...
And so on.
"Keith is a strong enemy, but he is not invincible." Honma thought carefully, "For example, he already knows my tactics very well, so he will not attack my monsters directly like other duelists, and will most likely choose to use his 'defense seal' to seal my tactics."
"Then, use this combination..." Honma changed his deck, "Will there not be enough monsters in this way? Forget it, the opponent is not the kind of opponent that I can defeat without taking any risks, this risk is worth it."
Honma held his newly assembled deck, clenched his fist and said confidently: "Go!"
——————————Skill Extraction————————————
In Hui's room, Hui turned off the lights and went to bed early, but only Hui and Li Zheng knew that Hui could discuss tomorrow's tactics with Li Zheng in the inner room when she was sleeping.
Although Li Zheng was basically there, Hui was listening.
"...So it can be like this. It's okay if the cartoon world doesn't activate. As long as Bekas activates it, he will be defeated!" Li Zheng introduced it to Hui.
Hui looked at the card in his hand for a long time, but returned it to Li Zheng.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Li Zheng thought that what he said just now still made sense, but Hui didn't seem to agree.
"Li Zheng, I think we should focus on tomorrow's game, that is, the one with Jonouchi. I think this card should not be used in the game with Jonouchi." Hui said lightly.
"...Well, that's right. The teacher thought about Bekas, but seemed to have forgotten Jonouchi." Li Zheng touched the back of his head with some shame. Bekas put a lot of pressure on him, but the system update also made him have the strength to fight, so he has been thinking about how to play the finals with Bekas.
But now, the fate is not even started! He hasn't dueled with Jonouchi yet, and after he's done with Jonouchi, he'll definitely have to fight with Yugi - Li Zheng doesn't think Yugi will be like Chi, who participated in a league tournament and ended up in the top 16...
You have to know that these are all the protagonists of the original work, isn't it too pretentious to ignore them? Thinking about dueling with Bekas so early is a typical example of thinking about running away before even starting.
He really has to thank Hui for reminding him, otherwise if he capsizes in the ditch (Jonouchi:...), it will be bad.
In fact, Li Zheng had many questions that he wanted to ask Begas, and he also wanted to improve the rules of the game, which was what Li Zheng wanted to do with Begas. At the same time, he had learned from Hui that the reason why Yugi had to duel with Begas was because his grandfather was sealed by Begas - this was what Yugi told Hui after Begas sealed Kaiba - so, if he wanted to duel with Begas, it would definitely cause Yugi to be unable to duel with Begas, and in this way, the original plot would be destroyed - if the main plot of the original was destroyed, Li Zheng didn't know if he would commit suicide.
What should I do? Li Zheng couldn't think of a solution for a while, but just like Hui, he hadn't made a plan yet, so why was he in a hurry? Let's think about how to duel with Jonouchi tomorrow first.
"So, regarding Jonouchi's deck, I think we should deal with it like this..." Li Zheng began to explain to Hui, who nodded frequently and occasionally asked a question, such as: "Why add this card that consumes 1,000 life points?", "Will there not be enough monster cards in this group?" and other questions.
Li Zheng answered them one by one, looking at Hui who was serious in front of him, he played with the key card that Hui had just returned, which was enough to defeat Bekas' "Cartoon World". Although "Phoenix God of Nephis" can also deal with "Cartoon World", in this era when effect destruction is not abundant, it is difficult to use the effect of Phoenix God, and monsters often have to be self-destructed.
So Li Zheng added this card, and it can deal with not only Bekas' "Cartoon World", but also the deck with a large number of magic and trap cards in the game. However, these can only be guaranteed after defeating Jonouchi tomorrow morning.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Zheng looked at the deck that was constantly improving in his and Hui's hands, full of confidence.
