Chapter 52 Beating to Death
As early as when Henry was bullying his assistant Katie, Li Zheng and Xue No had come to this venue - but although the venue was sponsored by Taiyi's "Plasido Hotel Alliance", it was not easy for Xue No and Li Zheng to enter the venue now.
Because Li Zheng was forcibly pulled to Xue No by the system this time, he came out in a hurry, and naturally did not remind Taiyi to give Xue No various green lights; at the same time, Fujiwara Yukino's ranking in the International Duelist Alliance was 1350, which was later than Gozen Ryuji - after all, she had never participated in such an international conference. The highest level duel conference that Yukino participated in before was a competition held by her school. She was able to get the ranking of 1350 because of the relationship of "Tofu Tani Hui's student" - such a late ranking number made it basically impossible for her to enter the main venue with limited space.
Later, when Li Zheng wanted to go back to inform, he thought about it carefully and decided to forget it. Although for Li Zheng, giving Xue No a green light was just a phone call or even a telepathic text message, he accepted a fish's suggestion this time: as one of the only two "harvests" of Xue No after staying in the world of "Yi Shi" for several days, the mermaid girl Emilia told Li Zheng that doing so would probably have a counterproductive effect on Xue No's growth.
"Some things must be fought for by yourself to cherish, and people's potential will also burst out at this time-just like me, my talent is very ordinary, and if my mother had allocated too many resources to me because of my ordinary talent, then I would definitely not have achieved the later achievements." Emilia said at the time, and Li Zheng, who knew how much Emilia would achieve later (Note 1), accepted her suggestion.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Zheng will not provide convenience for Xue No. On the contrary, it is much more difficult to provide a "training environment" now than in the previous situation of giving a green light-after all, now it has to pretend to be "accidental"-but this is not much of a burden for Taiyi, who has abundant material resources.
However, before Li Zheng could arrange the "chance", a ready-made opportunity was placed in front of Xue Nao:
Although he had just arrived at the venue not long after getting off the plane, Li Zheng heard the prompt given by the system nearby:
[Beep, upgrade component detected, deep detection in progress...deep detection failed, please take the initiative to approach the upgrade component carrier. ] Li Zheng heard this sentence from the system as soon as he arrived, and although the system's words were spoken in an emotionless electronic voice, the listener did not feel it was dull at all - mainly because the information contained in this message was too important.
As an expander of the system's own functions, the importance of the upgrade component is naturally self-evident. Every time the upgrade component is updated, Li Zheng's system will usher in a major change, including new functions and the strengthening of old functions. Although the system will only tell Li Zheng new functions every time, as for the changes in the old functions, it needs to be explored by himself. For example, after obtaining the upgrade component "laziness", Li Zheng found that he could already make trouble in the system world belonging to the "Spirit Temple System". Of course, for the creatures living in the system world, "Spirit Temple" is still a legend, just like "Twelve Floors", "Nibelungen", "Fantasy Township" and other places to ordinary humans.
Discovering the upgrade component here is equivalent to a treasure house in front of Li Zheng. Now the only thing to do is to find the key and empty it!
It was Li Zheng who had such a mentality. When he arrived at the venue, he found a discordant scene at the gate-a 1.85-meter-tall man actually bullied a 1.55-meter-tall legal loli! Seeing that the loli was exhausted and seemed to be about to fall down, both Li Zheng and Xue Nao said that this was unbearable!
Just when they were about to take action, they were taken aback by Hisayu Rei. This was not surprising, after all, Seto Kaiba, who represented Kaiba Group at the ifd founding conference, was an important guest. As his "personal bodyguards", Isono and Hisayu Rei would naturally be here.
Isono was okay, a normal straight man; Hisayu Rei was a lolita fan, which Li Zheng confirmed in the quarterfinals of "Duel City" - although history was modified by z-one, human nature would not change. Lolita fans are still lolita fans, and they would not watch precious legal lolita being bullied and remain indifferent.
Although she was a step late, Yukino still planned to fight for this opportunity, so she stood up and proposed to replace Hisayu Rei to duel with Henry.
But it was obvious that Li Zheng and Xue No had miscalculated. After she stood up, Jiu Yu Li looked at her in confusion and said to her with a little suspicion: "Who are you?"
The scene instantly became very awkward...Li Zheng then remembered that although Xue No might be known by the Kaiba Group who paid attention to Xiao Hui because she often went to Dongfeng Valley Shrine to learn from Xiao Hui, Jiu Yu Li was not a computer after all and it was impossible for him to remember so many people who needed attention. And now Xue No was still a complete rookie in the duel world. If a famous senior was willing to stand up when you were about to fight with someone, you would most likely choose to give in. But now Xue No was just a passerby with a bigger reputation. Give me a reason to give in?
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, a drop of cold sweat ran down Xue No's forehead. She said to Li Zheng in an unskilled telepathic way: ["Li Zheng, think of a way quickly..."]
【“Don’t worry, try to empty your mind…”】Li Zheng just remembered that Jiu Yuli was a mercenary and was very sensitive to the breath. If he possessed her, he might be able to use the aura of “Li Hui” to give Xue No a chance. As a result, when he was about to activate his skills, he sadly found that because Xue No didn’t have a “spiritual weapon” on her, he couldn’t forcibly possess her when the contractor was conscious. [I’m so stupid, really…]
And at this awkward moment, as if he had regarded himself as a soft persimmon, Henry pointed at Xue No as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said: “Wait! I’m going to duel with her! You are the organizer, I don’t know if you have any shady dealings… But since this is the founding conference of ifd, if you have no confidence in the strength of the duelists, then even if I lose and am removed from the press, I will use my voice representing freedom and justice to tell the world: a bunch of cowards!”
Li Zheng: [Fuck, someone sent a pillow when I was sleepy! This is a god’s assist! 】
As soon as these words came out, not only Jiu Yuli, but almost everyone present changed their expressions. It must be said that although Henry was a scumbag, he was really good at angering people. At the same time, Jiu Yuli, who had just said those words in a poor way, had little room for maneuver. Now she could only put away the duel disk and deck, grit her teeth, and squeeze out a few words to Yukino: "Go... to the death!"
Yukino, who won the duel right, confidently unfolded the duel disk: "Of course!"
