Chapter 96 System Crash

[Masked Hero·Light Fang: Fusion Monster, 8-star, Light attribute, Warrior-type, Attack: 500, Defense: 1800, Effect: This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of Mask Transformation. 1: This card's ATK increases by 500 monsters on the opponent's field. : Once per turn, remove 1 Hero Monster from your Graveyard and activate this effect targeting 1 face-up monster on the field. The ATK of that monster decreases by the ATK value of the monster removed by this effect until the end of the turn. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn. ]

On the buried field, the "Elemental Hero·Electric Man" who was originally shining with lightning has now become a more powerful state. The power of the hero mask has transformed him into a more powerful "Masked Hero·Light Fang"!

"The attack power of 'Masked Hero·Koga'... will increase with the number of monsters on the opponent's field!" Looking at the effect that popped up on his monster zone, he said in great joy: "The number of monsters on your field is, so the attack power of 'Masked Hero·Koga' increases to 4000!"

[Masked Hero·Koga: Attack power 500→4000]

Passerby A: "What! Such a strong attack power!"

Passerby B: "Is this the strength of the Hachioji City Game Emperor? A powerful monster with 4000 attack power!"

Passerby C: "And judging from her expression, this monster seems to have more effects. My God, is that 'Masked Change' such a strong card?!"

...

Looking at the shining "Masked Hero·Koga", Hui (Li Zheng) looked at his hand and did not panic.

"Mei-chan, the effect of 'Masked Hero·Light Fang' is more than one." Mai raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Masked Hero·Light Fang can remove a 'hero' in the graveyard from the game to release his real ultimate move! I will remove the 'Elemental Hero·Electric Man' in the graveyard and reduce the attack power of the 'Technology Attribute·Rhino' on your field by 1600!"

Passerby E: "What?!"

Passerby F: "If this effect is successful, then as long as 'Masked Hero·Light Fang' attacks the 'Technology Attribute·Rhino' with reduced attack power, the Duel King who only has 400lp now will lose this duel!"

Duel King, will lose?

So it means that the "Game Emperor" of Hachioji City indirectly defeated the "Father of Duel Monsters" Begas J. Croft?

This is crazy!

"The effect of 'Masked Hero·Light Fang' is activated--"

Just as Mai was about to activate the effect, Hui started to act. She quietly activated the effect of a monster card in her hand. The momentum of "Masked Hero·Light Fang" that was charging on the duel field slowed down and soon withered.

"What is going on?" Mai asked sluggishly. He looked at the situation on the duel field. The effect of "Masked Hero·Light Fang" was not invalidated, but the attack power of the monster on the opponent's field remained unchanged!

"Before you activate the effect of 'Masked Hero·Light Fang'," Hui took out the hand card that had just been thrown into the graveyard, "I activated this card: 'd.d. Crow'."

"d.d. Crow? Can this monster in the hand also activate its effect?" Mai looked at the level 1 monster in Hui's hand in surprise. Can such a weak monster really interrupt the effect of such a powerful "Masked Hero·Light Fang"?

"Of course, you can take a look." After Hui finished speaking, a huge card picture was projected on the duel field. Everyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that it was a crow, with a level of only one star, and the bird-beast race was not so conspicuous, but it was this monster that prevented the buried otk.

[D.D. Crow: Effect Monster, One Star, Dark Attribute, Bird-Beast, Attack: 100, Defense: 100, Effect: Discard this card from the hand to the graveyard. A card in the opponent's graveyard is excluded from the game. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn. ]

Li Zheng was a fan of D.D. Crow in his previous life. He used Crow to cure countless "difficult and complicated diseases". Before, this card could not be added to the deck in the Duelist Kingdom. Now that there is finally an exclusion rule, the "D.D. Crow" cannot escape.

However, just after Hui used "D.D. Crow" to interrupt Yui's fatal attack, the three-dimensional image on the duel field suddenly began to distort, as if it was about to disappear.

"What's going on?!" The onlookers on the side looked sideways, "The system of the duel field was just updated two days ago!"

[So that's it, is there a bug? ] Li Zheng quickly thought of the reason why the three-dimensional image gradually disappeared, [The concept of "exclusion" was introduced for the first time in the control system of the duel field. It is very likely that it took a shortcut when it was written, and did not consider how to resolve the situation when two effects act on the same card at the same time. ]

Li Zheng wrote software in his previous life, so he has a certain say in this. The update of software products is not achieved overnight. Even for Kaiba Group, it is not easy to perfect the software that can adapt to the new rules within a few days. However, in order to reflect the scientific research strength of Kaiba Group at the forefront of the world, Kaiba Seto should still put this prototype software on this duel field. After all, even if the new rules are changed a lot, there are still few cards that are applicable to the new rules in this era, so this software can carry the duel of the new rules.

But when it comes to Hui (Li Zheng), two guys who don't play by the rules, this imperfect system is helpless.

As the three-dimensional image on the duel field gradually disappears, a burnt smell comes from the main control panel of the duel field.

[It seems that not only a bug has occurred, but also a burnout...] After Li Zheng returned the control of his body to Hui, he looked at the duel field that was damaged by his duel with Mai with some interest. I don't know if Kaiba will ask for compensation for this thing?

Compared to Li Zheng who was thinking a lot, Mai was thinking much less now. An idea flashed in her mind and she said to Hui: "Hey, Hui-chan, our duel can't continue like this." Then, without waiting for Hui to speak, Mai jumped down from the duel field, ran all the way to Hui, and said to her, "Hui-chan, although Mai can't clear your LP this round, Guangya-kun with 4000 attack power on Mai's field is not easy to deal with, right? So, how about we leave this result as suspense?"

Everyone could hear that Mai was perfunctory, but Hui didn't mean to make things difficult for her, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

"Yeah, Hui-chan is so considerate!" Mai took Hui's hand and dragged Hui down the duel field.

Hui followed behind Mai and walked out of the Kaiba game room together. During the period, a staff member came up to ask them about their previous operations in the duel, but after Mai said a few words to him, he left. Li Zheng heard that it seemed to be some information related to Mai's brother.

[Mai's brother, does he work in Kaiba Group? 】Li Zheng asked.

【I heard that, Mai's brother is the team leader of the Kaiba Group Research Institute. 】 Hui replied.

【I see, no wonder she didn't panic when she saw the duel field burnt. 】Li Zheng understood.

————————True Red Eyes Fusion————————

At the same time, Kaiba Group Research Institute.

President Kaiba was standing in a huge research facility at this time. Beside him, several other research institute teams, led by a middle-aged researcher, were operating a large number of computers near the research facility, running countless parameters on them.

One of the team leaders, wearing a pair of glasses, was extremely young, basically the youngest of all the research institute leaders present.

On the nameplate on his chest was written his name: Sakura Taihei.

This person is Sakura Mai's brother, and he is now the youngest deputy team leader of Kaiba Group Research Institute (Keiko remembered it wrongly, Taiping is not the team leader). This research and development team used to be responsible for the program testing of the duel field, and now it is mainly responsible for the program testing of the new duel disk. Putting a 4-year-old young man in this position is enough to show the trust that Kaiba Seto and the boss of the research institute have in Sakura Taiping.

In fact, Taiping started working before graduating from university. Fortunately, Kaiba Group does not require academic qualifications but only ability. Taiping learns everything very quickly, and his ideas are active and progressive, which makes Kaiba, which has always emphasized innovation and reform, very fond of him. Therefore, Taiping was transferred to the research group that developed the second-generation duel disk and is now working.

That's right, this laboratory is where Kaiba Group studies the second-generation duel disk!
