Chapter 1 The King’s Duel Must Be Entertaining

"Okay, let's play cards today. Today I'm playing a pure [Entertainment Partner] deck. The Duel King's duel must be entertaining."

"Hmph~, activate [Heart Change], your [Double-Headed Thunder Dragon] is mine!"

"Activate [Dragon Mirror], summon my strongest Tamashi, [Dragon Knight-Gaia], and then activate [Spiral Gun], ☆ kill!!!"

Early in the morning, Hayato sat in front of the Kameki Game House, set up a small table and held up a parasol, and played cards with the duelists who came here to buy card packs and pay homage to the two new duelist kings.

Watching an eleven or twelve-year-old primary school student who had just lost a duel cry and leave, Hayato curled his lips disdainfully: "Oh, you're crying after losing just one game. Young people's ability to withstand blows is really weak. Obviously It’s just about one, two, three, four, five monsters that were taken away by me. During the duel, Smailu should be the one.”

"Well, I think, Hayato, you were a little too serious when you were playing Duel Monsters with those children, that's why they cried."

Sitting next to Hayato was Yugi, who was also holding a hand of cards. Although he said so, but looking at the five neat cards in his backfield, Hayato felt that the experience of the child opposite him was not much better than the duel with him.

A week has passed since their trip to the Duel Kingdom. Hayato and the others have already returned to Doshino City and met Mr. Muto Sugoroku who had successfully revived. Jonouchi also took the prize money from the Duel Kingdom and paid for the surgery for his sister. He still had about one million left, which he returned to Hayato and Yugi.

The doctor said the surgery was scheduled for three months later.

Everything is developing in a good direction, as if returning to the peaceful daily life before the Duel Kingdom.

Except for those annoying guys who are not qualified to participate in the duel kingdom, but dream of defeating Hayato and Yugi and reaching the top in one step.

Bekas regained consciousness 24 hours after being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Although he was still resting in the hospital, he still took the time to release a video to the outside world. The content of the video is quite simple. On the one hand, it is to let business rivals know that they are in good health and not dead yet, so they should not try any other tricks. On the other hand, it is to announce that Hayato Yugi has become the second and third member of the International Illusion Society. Matters of major shareholders.

Although Becas had publicly invited many people to watch the duel before, the people invited were either celebrities from all walks of life or famous duelists. Although these people witnessed Hayato and Yugi's victory over Becas, they were not talkative gossip reporters who couldn't wait to share what they saw with others.

Therefore, until Bekas released the video, the information that the Duel King had been born was only circulated in upper-level social circles. Most people did not know about it at all. Even after the video was released, many people heard about it for the first time. Another thing about "Duel Kingdom".

As a result, "many people" were quite unconvinced - why was this uncle not invited to participate in such a big duel event? If I go, maybe—no, I will definitely become the duel king.

But "Duel Kingdom" is all over. So, how can you prove to yourself that you can do whatever you want? The answer is————

"I can't accept it!" Manzhangmu sat opposite Hayato, watching Hayato take a combo of [Earth Spirit God], [Gaia], [Inherited Power] and [Gigantic], and gave him a set of OTK , "You guy, you obviously said at the beginning that you were using the [Entertainment Partner] deck!"

Wan Zhangmu Zhengsi, one of the "many people" mentioned above.

Now that "Duel Kingdom" has ended, the only way to prove that you are better than the Duel King is to defeat the Duel King by playing cards, right?

"Hmph, idiot, who said that a monster without [Entertainment Partner] in its name is not an [Entertainment Partner]?" Hayato said confidently, "The Duel King's duel must be for entertainment, and these cards are all my partners, so Aren’t they just [Entertainment Partners]? Don’t make excuses if you lose the duel.”

"What nonsense are you talking about! I have clearly investigated that your [Entertainment Partners] are all animals and magician monsters, but you guy only used one [Sky Magician] in the whole game, and the others They are all warriors!”

Banzhangmu was still a little unconvinced, but Hayato chased him away like a fly.

"Okay, okay, next one." Hayato waved his hand and looked at Wan Zhangmu Zhengji standing up proudly, "Besides, you can't even win within the city, go back and practice again, Saonian."

Watching Wan Zhangmu give way and another kid who looked like a primary school student came over as his substitute, Hayato turned his head slightly, looked at the team that was finally coming to the end, and let out a sigh of relief.

After Bekas released the video, "many people" who were unconvinced worked together to share intelligence, collecting intelligence from all over the country, and found the location of Hayato and Yugi. Hayato's home is in a villa area, and the security is quite good because of the property fee, so no one comes to the door, but it is unlucky for a card shop to play games at home.

It can be said that there is an endless stream of people coming to the door, and Guiji Game House is just a small store. If these people mess with it, Mr. Shuangliu's business will not be successful at all.

However, despite his old age, Mr. Shuangliu had a very sharp mind. The next day, he came up with a very, very good idea. Not only could he deal with the duelists who came to him, but he could also effectively Greatly improve the business of the card house.

"Buy ten packs of cards to qualify for the lottery, starting from [Thank you for your patronage], [One more time], [One more pack], all the way to [Duel with the Duel King]." Sitting in front of a lottery machine, Jonouchi faced Xingzi, who was in charge of selling card packs nearby, complained, "Jisang is really good at business. If this continues, maybe Jisang can open a company in the future."

Yes, this is the "perfect" strategy of Mr. Shuangliu - want to prove yourself in a duel with the Duel King? You have to qualify first. How can I smoke it? Buy card packs. What should I do if I can’t draw? Keep buying card packs.

This move is nothing short of a thief. It separates the two duelist kings, Yugi and Hayato, from the duelists who come to challenge them. It eliminates the contradiction of "Why can you duel with him but not with me?" occurrence, creating a “fair” environment.

Moreover, if someone is unwilling to follow this rule, then those who have already qualified will become people who are on their side of the game. The conflict will be transferred to the masses and become "Why don't you buy the card pack?" You want to have a duel? He bought ten packs and I bought twenty packs, and you don’t even buy a single pack and you still want to have a duel?”

Hayato listened to the discussion of the following people and remained silent. He would never tell Jonouchi and the others that this idea was actually given to Mr. Shuangliu by him. This move is called "involution".

Just as he was thinking this, the little girl holding a doll sitting opposite Hayato knocked on the table.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just got distracted." Hayato apologized first.

"Huh, Gentleman doesn't keep a Lady waiting."
