Chapter 56 Preparation Before the War

Because of Hayato's act of dying together, Yugi who has withdrawn one after another was assigned to the same group as him.

Therefore, the semi-final groupings became Hayato vs. Yugi and Kaiba vs. Jounouchi.

Both Yugi and Hayato were quite satisfied with this grouping, and Jonouchi was in a good mood because he could finally teach Kaiba a lesson. The only one who felt unhappy was Kaiba.

Especially when he just discovered that Hayato actually had a way to continue playing on the court, but still chose to blow himself up and prevent others from having fun playing cards.

Because of this, when his addiction to cards was not satisfied several times in a row, Kaiba, who came to the top of the tower with everyone, saw Hayato and Yugi who had arrived in advance and were fighting high, and said with a stinky face: "Half. The final starts in three hours.”

As he said that, he had no intention of listening to other people's opinions and walked to the rest room in the duel tower to close his eyes and rest. Knowing that he couldn't play cards right away, Kaiba inevitably felt a little tired because he no longer had the suppression of his card addiction.

It can only be said that Kaiba who abuses his power to seek personal revenge is a scumbag.

Hayato and Yugi looked at each other helplessly, complaining that it would be best for Kaiba to be a PC player for the rest of his life. In the end, he could only blame Kaiba for obeying the arrangement of Kaiba, a dog with authority, and wait for the semi-finals three hours later. .

Although Kaiba seemed to be avenging his personal revenge, in fact, it was quite necessary to wait until three hours later for the semi-finals, and it was not because he was aimless.

On the one hand, Yugi and Hayato need to "fine-tune" their decks.

After seeing Hayato's two powerful combos of "Midori" and "Sebadoragon OTK", the game needs time to think about countermeasures. At the same time, it also has to use the [Armed Dragon] and [Disruption] that Hayato has used. , [Gaia], [Entertainment Partner], [XYZ] and other monsters are also considered.

At the same time, the game also has to eliminate some of the cards prepared for the group matches from its current deck, including [Gift Cards], which are used to restore the opponent's basic points and are completely useless in ordinary duels. .

The same goes for Hayato. If the opponent is a game, no matter how tactically you think about it, it's not an exaggeration.

On the other hand, due to the previous hijacking of the St. Ann, the originally scheduled "live broadcast" was not released. In addition, both Kaiba and Keppei were unable to contact the outside world due to a communication interruption, which caused an uproar on the Internet.

Especially when the Haima Group also vigorously promoted the group stage after the knockout round where the top eight advanced to the semi-finals.

As duel monsters become more and more popular all over the world, as long as they are not outdated people who do not have Internet access in their villages, as long as they are duelists or even fans of duel monsters, they are all squatting in front of the TV and computer waiting to watch the world's top video games. Duel Monsters event.

Then it’s like when it’s salary day, you’ve been thinking that after getting your salary, you finally saved enough money to buy yourself a new mobile phone, but you find that you’ve waited until the next morning and your salary hasn’t been paid, and even your boss is pretending. It's as if I'm dead and won't reply to your messages.

After transforming from an arms group into an entertainment company, Haima Group's business is on the rise. Their current largest income comes from the licensing of the virtual projection system developed by Haima, and the basis of this technology's profitability comes from the vast number of Duel Monsters fans.

To put it another way, if we don’t handle the trend that is beginning to take shape on the Internet that is unfavorable to the Kaiba Group, the Kaiba Group, which has not yet fully established itself in the field of duel monsters, will most likely be guided by someone with good intentions to attack the Kaiba Group. They quit the industry in despair under the unanimous resistance of dissatisfied passers-by.

Sounds like the situation is a bit grim? But as long as you see the expressions on the faces of the Kaiba brothers, no matter how worried you are about the future of the Kaiba Group, you will feel relieved.

I'm afraid there are no problems in the world that can stump the Kaiba brothers, right? Except Duel Monsters.

In the game lounge.

Pushing the deck of cards on the table, Yugi held his chin with both hands, and said to the mirror in front of him with some trepidation: "Other me, do you think this is okay?"

In the eyes of others, Yugi is just talking to himself in the mirror, but if you are a duelist with the ability to see spirits or the holder of the [Millennium Artifact], you can see the person in the mirror. The game looks obviously much more mature than the game in front of the mirror.

"Aibo, do you plan to use this card?" Wang Xiang glanced at a fusion monster card in the spread out deck, "Didn't you say before that you planned to save this card for dealing with Kaiba?"

"[Destruction Swordsman]? Indeed, it will be most effective if you use him to deal with Kaiba-kun, whose monsters in the deck are mainly dragons."

Yugi nodded, paused, and continued: "However, Hayato-kun also has the presence of [Five Divine Dragons] in his deck. Without the cooperation of [Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon] and [Chaos Warrior], our deck There is no monster that can defeat the [Five Divine Dragons] that is comparable to the [Ultimate Dragon Knight]."

"I see, have you even considered the [Five Divine Dragons]?" Wang Xiang nodded in sudden realization and said with a smile, "Thanks to you for checking for mistakes and filling in the gaps, Aibo."

"Hey, since you are determined to retrieve your lost memory, then let me be your backing, the other me." Yugi also responded with a shy smile, "Joined by 'Muto Yugi' It is invincible, I firmly believe that.”

"Aibo..."

Just as Yugi and Wang Yangji were deepening their friendship, a few rooms away, Hayato was also sorting out his deck in his lounge.

"First of all, there must be a lot of pitfalls in the game's deck. Even if there weren't there at the beginning, if Xiao Biao participated in modifying the deck, there would definitely be a lot. In short, [Red Restart] and [The Bribery of the Demon Palace] are both Bring it with you.”

"[Dark Magician] will not be absent, so bring [Super Fusion] with you."

"The Traitor Dragon game will definitely use it, so I'll bring another one of this."

Card after card was stuffed into the deck by Hayato. After all, the opponent was a game, and no one could be too cautious. And speaking of it, whether it's a superficial game or a secret game, Hayato has never defeated either of them so far. This time, Hayato is preparing with the intention of winning.

However, in the middle of processing the cards, Hayato felt a little confused when he looked at the card of [Ra's Winged Dragon]. If he wanted to pursue entertainment, Hayato would definitely put [Pull] into his deck. After all, it is a card of God.

But now that what I want in my deck is strength, is it really necessary to add the God Card?

Especially if you have obtained [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon], if there are three monsters on the field, wouldn't direct fusion be more delicious than sacrificing to summon the gods?

As if hearing Hayato's thoughts, suddenly, the card of "Ra's Winged Dragon" in Hayato's hand suddenly began to glow with golden light.
