Chapter 334 Card Opening Duel
Chapter 334 Card Opening Duel
"How could a Level 10 monster be in such a cheap card pack?" Everyone was incredulous.
"Wait, I think I have this card too!" the girl with the side ponytail exclaimed.
"Me too, I think I have one too!" The crowd immediately started chattering.
Di Xing revealed a smug smile—Sleeping Giant Gudu, a super-powerful 10-star monster deeply bound to 1-star monsters. Due to its extremely demanding summoning conditions, its card value is quite low, to the point that almost everyone in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS has one. However, if it is successfully summoned, it can unleash power comparable to the God Cards.
In 5DS, the budget team Sun used this card to push the 5DS team to the brink of defeat, which is quite terrifying.
While Gudu's ownership rate in this impoverished fourth level of the world doesn't reach the exaggerated levels of 5DS, it's definitely not a rare card. And while Red's salary isn't high either, being a host in the fourth level is probably one of the highest-paying jobs, so he could definitely afford this card pack.
These cheap card packs are unlikely to be delivered to your door, so it's reasonable to assume he'd already bought almost all the cards in the pack's pool (similar to the Duel Link mechanism), and the shop only arranged for the delivery of the last pack as a souvenir.
So Red probably knew what cards were in the pack, and the fact that he was so happy when he got it means that the pack must contain the most powerful card in the pool – Sleeping Giant Gudu!
After figuring this out, Di Xing said smugly, "You just set a trap, didn't you? If we guessed correctly, you would say 'close' to win; if you guessed correctly, you would say you guessed correctly to win too. That's why I guessed 13 stars to avoid guessing correctly directly."
"You bastard!" Du Shuqiang was furious. For the first time, he looked directly at Di Xing, and his pupils dilated instantly.
Although Di Xing was wearing makeup, Du Shuqiang still recognized him at a glance as the culprit who caused his brother's death.
He had a very poor relationship with his younger brother and had no intention of avenging him. Furthermore, as the head of the fourth level of Lypadgar, he had received orders from his family not to provoke this young man.
Normally, he would have turned and left, staying far away from this dangerous scourge, but... not today. His actions today were based on his own ambition, and he hadn't even informed the Leppard family. So today, he was determined to take down Ms. Mino, this formidable figure, no matter what!
After thinking it over, Du Shuqiang gritted his teeth and said, "A bet's a bet. You can choose one half of this shop, either left or right."
"What? Didn't you just say it was two halves, front and back?"
"When we made the bet, we didn't specify which two halves it would be."
"You shameless bastard!" Opal was furious, but Di Xing pulled her back. "It's best not to get into a conflict with them now. Keeping the business running is the most important thing!"
Opal forced himself to calm down. "I hope you won't try anything funny. Let's see who can get Ms. Minuo's attention, based on our own abilities."
"Heh, I can't imagine how I could lose," Du Shuqiang said casually.
Just as the two groups were preparing to separate to make preparations for receiving Ms. Mi Nuo
"Boring, I want to see rivers of blood."
The ordinary-looking woman with glasses from just moments ago was now reclining arrogantly on the sofa by the entrance, her legs crossed on the table in front of her.
Di Xingyi exclaimed: "Holy crap, this must be Ms. Mi Nuo!"
Opal looked puzzled, but then Di Xing's voice rang in his ears, "You...you must be Ms. Mi Nuo? I didn't expect you to have sneaked in beforehand."
The bespectacled woman burst into laughter, then ripped off her disguise, instantly transforming from an ordinary-looking girl into a sophisticated lady with striking features, dressed in an elegant gown.
Ms. Mi Nuo let out a silvery laugh, "I love watching fights!" She pointed at Di Xing and Du Shuqiang with both hands, "You two, fight!"
Du Shuqiang was still in a daze, but Di Xing immediately put on the Duel Disk and gave a slightly awkward hand salute, "Yes, ma'am."
But in my mind, I was screaming: Quickly put on the Duel Disk to prevent her from making us fight hand-to-hand!
Du Shuqiang was also in a dilemma: He was joking, but Di Xing was the champion of the Star-Rising Tournament. How could he possibly fight him? But he couldn't just not fight. Wait a minute, Du Shuqiang looked at the open card pack on the table. He had an idea!
He immediately gave a very standard hand salute. "Yes, madam, but I didn't bring my own deck, so I have a more fun suggestion: how about we have a card draw duel?"
Holy crap, this bastard is too cunning! He actually wants to have a card-opening duel so that the strength of both decks can be evened out. And it feels like Du Shuqiang has some other scheme in store, so Di Xing hurriedly prepared to refute Du Shuqiang's suggestion.
"Hmm, that's a good suggestion, approved," Ms. Mi Nuo said, ending the competition with a single sentence.
Then Ms. Mi Nuo stood up from the sofa, walked lightly towards Di Xing with her hands behind her back. She looked to be around 30 years old, but her movements were as playful as a girl's.
She walked up to Di Xing and whispered in his ear, "Bei Dou Sen Sai—no, I should call you Di Xing—you're the winner of the Star-Up Competition. If you don't make some concessions, things won't be fun."
"Ah!?" Di Xing's identity was exposed, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
“Alright,” Du Shuqiang said, feigning gentlemanly politeness. “Our rule is that each person buys fifteen packs of cards and chooses from them to build their own deck for the competition.”
"Okay, but you opened this pack of cards belonging to my colleague, so I request that this pack be added to my deck."
Du Shuqiang thought for a moment. There weren't any very strong cards among them. The only one, Sleeping Giant Gudu, had an extremely difficult summoning condition. So he readily agreed. Could this Di Xing really summon Gudu?
"Okay, so where should we buy the cards?"
"There's a mobile card shop nearby that sells cards from a truck; I've already sent my men to call him over."
Di Xing looked at Opal, who nodded. "That should be Master Zhao's mobile card shop—Zhao Zhao's Wonderful House. He couldn't afford to rent a storefront, so he got a used truck and opened a mobile card shop."
"Are all the card shops here named this weird? And don't try to piggyback on the strongest legal department in the Western Hemisphere! They might actually come up with some kind of 'universally-defunct law enforcement' thing!" Di Xing complained desperately.
Just then, the burly man behind Du Shuqiang, Niulang, answered a phone call: "Okay!"
Then he bent down and said to Du Shuqiang, "Boss, the card shop has been brought."
So the group arrived at the edge of Qiuye Plain, where they saw a gaunt old man standing fearfully next to a black-clad male prostitute.
Du Shuqiang gave Di Xing a very gentlemanly bow. "Since I proposed this rule, please select your cards first."
Di Xing clicked his tongue in his heart. This guy really knows how to put on an act in front of Ms. Mi Nuo. But did you forget that she saw through your misdeeds in the store from the very beginning?
