Chapter 22 Acquisition of the International Illusion Society?
The news of ifd's establishment naturally spread like wildfire. Not long after the dinner hosted by Becas ended, well-informed duelists from all over the world learned about this explosive news one after another.
Among them, the game clubs in various countries made strategic adjustments in response to this news at the first time - after all, as long as the "International Duelist Federation" is established, it means that the rules of duels in this world will have professional and official support like football, and the various contradictions that have gradually been exposed before will also be explained by the official.
Of course, these are secondary. The establishment of ifd is the most important for duelists, duel clubs, etc.: this basically means that the future "Duel Monster" competition will involve more and wider interest chains.
You must know that although the current duel competition also has an extremely prosperous "duel gambling industry" to bring rich returns to those who invest in this area, these are gray incomes in most cases. After the establishment of ifd, duel gambling can put some things that were originally in the gray area in the open like football betting.
At the same time, because there have been an endless stream of "Duel Monsters" enthusiasts and excellent duelists in the past two years, the amount of money and interests involved in the duel gambling industry have become increasingly larger. If there is no reliable and international official, the results of many competitions will not be enough to convince the public.
Not to mention the distant past, there have been several recent matches that were considered "fake matches" by gamblers: Honma Gengsi defeated the thief Keith in the "Dueler Kingdom" competition, the underdog Luo Likong defeated the champion seed Ye Meijing who won the fourth place in the semi-finals of the Chinese "Champions Cup", and the 11-year-old rookie John Anderson won without a fight in the semi-finals of the European "Mercedes Cup" because of the absence of Yukiko Umino...
Each of these matches will make gamblers mourn - and unlike losing a ball in a football match, if you only look at the battle report, in the eyes of many outsiders, there is not much difference between duelists and them. After all, even the champions may not have amazing operations in every game; this makes many gamblers who have lost money easily develop the mentality of "I can do it too", which seriously reduces the prestige of the duel competition in people's eyes.
In the long run, this game is estimated to be driven by endless interests and will not last long, and today's move by Becas can be said to be a turnaround.
After the International Illusion Society's banquet ended with laughter and joy, Beckas put his fake smile back to normal, coughed lightly, and called his old butler Soros.
"Soros, I'll leave this to you first." Beckas's expression was serious. After hearing the old butler's calm answer, Beckas walked step by step to the backyard here. He knew that those outside were all fake, and more importantly, there was a "person" waiting for him in this backyard.
"You are very cunning, aren't you?" As soon as Bekas came to the backyard, he heard a familiar voice speaking to him, "If I didn't know the inside story, I would also think that the establishment of IFD this time was led by the 'International Illusion Society', so..."
"In this way, those who want to gain benefits will swim over like sharks smelling blood." Bekas didn't look back, he said lightly: "To be honest, three days ago I couldn't have thought that after 'Doma' and 'Dazi', it would be you, Li Zheng, standing in front of me."
Bekas didn't habitually add a "boy" or "girl" after other people's names to show affection. People who are familiar with Bekas know that this is the performance of the creator of the "Duel Monsters" when he finds that there is a certain existence that he has to deal with seriously, "Guan My memory of that time is always vague... I guess it was you who did it, right? "
"Not only for you, but for the whole world - that is not a piece of history that should be truly recorded by this world." Li responded calmly, "Perhaps in the distant future someone will come to find the 'text of history'. I have engraved this history in a place - using obscure magic book text - waiting for those future scholars to have a headache. "
"You are really free... But if you think about what you are controlling, you can roughly understand why you can do so many seemingly 'unnecessary things'. "Becas turned around. The girl in front of him had a completely different temperament from the previous "Dongfeng Gu Hui". If the silver-haired three-no girl is a lazy little tiger, then this purple-haired girl is like a charming fox.
Bekas looked at Li Zheng in front of him. He did not ask questions like "Why did you leave Xiaohui girl?" Bekas had asked these questions three days ago, and Li Zheng had no intention of answering them. Obviously, Bekas was more concerned about another thing now: "Will you stop by doing this... the acquisition of the International Illusion Society?" When asking this question, the father of Duel Monsters looked completely different from his usual coolness. "I was just teasing you at the beginning - you can go back and check. In fact, no one touched those stocks that seemed to be acquired, but the mastermind of the International Illusion Society that I controlled sent you a wrong message." Xueno's body was controlled by Li Zheng and shrugged, "But I have to say that you made a very correct choice - for both you and me."
Becas didn't believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and roughly checked his own stocks - indeed, as Li Zheng said, no one had moved those stocks, and the previous signs of acquisitions seemed to be just It's just "adding stunts", but this makes Becas even more confused: "What do you mean when you say that I 'made the right choice'? Is it for you or me? Do you really think this is good for me?" Is it worth doing?"
No matter how much we talk about the benefits of forming ifd, one problem cannot be avoided - that is, once such a federation is established, it will be a huge concession for the International Illusion Society family - which means that Duel Monsters is in full swing. The "final interpretation power" of the game fell from the hands of the International Illusion Society to a large group of people. Although in the plan, Bekas had great power and a very high status in ifd, this power and status were limited to Bekas. Cass is alone and does not belong to the International Illusion Society. If one day he encounters personal misfortune, the International Illusion Society may not be able to maintain its current status.
"Of course, allow me to explain the complexity to you slowly." Li Zheng, who had been standing for a long time, felt that Xueno's body was a little tired, so he walked to a bench and sat down, "I don't know. I didn’t notice the general attending today’s meeting—it seems to be called ‘Thomas Brown’, right?”
"As one of the few military personnel, of course I remember it."
"Well, just remember." Li Zheng said: "Although I have to admit that he did give some help to the duelists who attacked 'Dazi' in the past, but the situation now is not as good as it was then - this guy and the gang behind him People seem to be ready to take action..."
There is another reason why Li Zheng will not tell Bekas: in his and z-one's plan, the authority to "print cards" in the future is very important and cannot be given to others casually. It is only considered for the future. Z-one supports the direct acquisition of "International Illusion Society", which is not difficult for Taiyi now; but Li Zheng has different ideas. He thinks Becas is a smart man and he will make the right decision. Selected.
And now it seems that Becas is indeed very discerning...
